Chapter 488: The Decisive Battle: Part 3
“Wheel of Existence! Power up!” Feeling that he still could not destroy the stone pillar, Lin Sheng used the Wheel of Existence to strengthen himself.
Of the powers of the Dark Wheel, the Wheel of Existence’s strengthening was through layers of protective wards to strengthen one’s body to its ultimate limit.
A mere second later, countless of dark red markings quickly spread all across Lin Sheng’s body.
These markings were like vines as they constantly writhed and spread across his body.
A pale blood-red glow shone on the wheel in the middle of his chest, not unlike blood.
Snap!
At the same time, one of the countless eyes on Lin Sheng’s back closed forever.
“I see your destiny!” Lin Sheng held his hands open. “The destiny of your assured downfall!”
“Thousand-Spellwords! DIE!!!” Faldt roared out as he unleashed the colored lights and bombarded against Lin Sheng.
What was weird when Lin Sheng moved, it seemed like he had simply just precisely sidestepped, and avoided the bombardment of the Thousand-Spellwords.
“Unleash!” He snarled, and the infinitely converting holy power blasted out as they rushed upwards and pushed the three stone pillars back into the sky.
Slowly, but surely, the three massive stone pillars seemed to be going back in time, and were soon pushed by the rampaging holy power back into the three magic circles they had originated from.
BOOM!!!
Three magic circles seemed to have overloaded as it exploded and unleashed a large puff of black Netherforce smoke.
“Faldt! Behold your destiny!!” Lin Sheng held his hands up as countless of holy power quickly converged and formed into a massive giant blade of light.
“No you don’t!” The colored lights once again condensed around Faldt, his eyes were bloodshot, as he furiously maid down a series of defensive spellwords.
“Fang of the Hidden King! DIE!!” The Netherblade, his body bloodied actually rushed back into combat, and slammed heavily into Faldt’s back as his mouth gleamed in purple light as he snapped onto Faldt’s right arm.
RIIIPPPPP!!!
A loud tearing noise rang out as Faldt’s entire arm flew into the air amidst his screams, before it was swallowed whole by the Netherblade.
“AHAHAHA!!! Die, Faldt, die!!” HAHAHAHA!!” BAMM!!
Suddenly the Netherblade fell crookedly onto the ground, as if greatly weakened.
“This is payback for humiliating me back then!” Even so, his eyes were still fixated on Lin Sheng’s blade that was in a murderous downward arc.
At this moment, Faldt’s final resistance were unravelled by this as they were crushed and faded away.
The hundred meter long white holy blade, like a world-splitting thin line came slashing down from above, without a sound.
There were no explosions, no friction, no rip of the air.
Lin Sheng’s holy sword simply just went through the thick layers of protective colored lights on Faldt as his Thousand-Spellword’s light were unable to block the keen edge of the strike.
This was a strike formed out of the entirety of Lin Sheng’s strength at this very moment.
The power of the Dark Wheel, the power of the holy light, the power of the chaotic souls, the unique Palatinate ability, the Dragonblood’s massive strength and the likes; all of them had been turned into the holy blade’s keen edge as it fell brutally.
HISSSS!!!
Faldt, who was still enraged earlier suddenly froze and could no longer move.
The Netherforce within his body were rapidly annihilated by the holy light, as every cell in his body were similarly purified and eroded rapidly by the holy power.
All of his regenerative powers, his restorative powers, even his vaunted immortality were all being destroyed and purified by the holy power.
The endless holy power was like a veritable ocean pouring into Faldt through Lin Sheng’s body.
He held the holy blade in his head, and as if he was cutting a tree, split Faldt from top to bottom through the forehead, and completely separating him in two.
A thin white line then appeared on the central axis of his body.
At that very moment, time seemed to have freezed.
“What… a hypocritical power…” Faldt’s initially distorted face, turned calm at this moment.
His gaze looked at Qyne on the ground, a trace of regret, gentleness, and sadness flickered in his eyes.
“This is holiness.” Lin Sheng grunted. “And holiness means purity!”
“Heh….” Faldt smiled. “Soon or later, you’ll end up like me.”
BAAMMM!!
His massive body shattered like glass in an instant, as it turned into countless white and black spots that circled the air before slowly falling down.
A massive amount of black and white light spots covered almost half of the city.
The entire sky above Villashe that were originally shrouded in red light, after Faldt’s death, the red light slowly faded away as the original blue sky returned.
“I shall be waiting for you.”
Faldt’s final voice still echoed in the air.
The holy blade in Lin Sheng’s hand too slowly disappeared.
His Unlimited Conversion ability too ended. Even whe he had vanquished Faldt, he felt no joy in his heart.
Instead, an indescribable sense of nothingness welled within him.
“I will not die.” He said suddenly. “So you can only look on at me in annihilation.”
“Cough…cough… Holy Emperor, help me a bit will you… we are allies afterall…” The Netherblade, who laid broken on the ground not too far away, called out.
“My leg is broken, so is my back… Do you have any means of healing?? If you don’t connect them back now, I think I’ll need a very long time to recover.”
Lin Sheng recomposed himself as he stepped forward, and instantly reappearing before the Netherblade.
He stood tall as he looked down quietly at the Netherblade, without a word for a long while.
“What’s wrong? If you don’t, just let me know. Pull me up, I’m a bit wasted.” The Netherblade murmured.
UGHH!!
Suddenly, a scorching white light stabbed through the back of the Netherblade.
The shape of the white light, was the same holy blade Lin Sheng had used to slay Faldt, and the hilt of the holy blade, was quietly sitting in Lin Sheng’s hand.
“You…you…??!!” The Netherblade stared at Lin Sheng in disbelief, not understanding why.
Lin Sheng wanted to turn against him, he had plenty of chances to do so earlier. Especially when he was summoning them, he had many opportunities to strike against them, and need not wait until now.
And most importantly, he could not figure out why Lin Sheng needed to turn against him.
“But….why??!!” The Netherblade’s own strength was originally a step lower than Faldt, and now that he was badly wounded; after being flooded by Lin Sheng’s holy powers, he was almost done for.
In his last moments, he stared at Lin Sheng with wide opened eyes, confusion and resentment roiled within.
“Only by killing you, that I can get a large amount of purre soul powers…” Lin Sheng did not verbalize this.
He only looked on quietly at the Netherblade being infused with holy power before the latter’s consciousness slowly disappeared.
All of the soul power condensed together and formed into a perfect round orb with black lightning arcs within it on his forehead.
This black orb was only visible by those who can see souls, and Lin Sheng was one of them.
He grabbed onto the black orb, as he watched the Netherblade’s body exploded into countless of black and white spots.
He then went to where Faldt had fallen, and found a similar black orb with colorful light within it on the ground.
After killing any soul creatures, he will be able to obtain and absorb pure fragments of souls.
This was originally an ability he only had in the dream, but suddenly one day when he killed those monsters in Henriqcal, he had absorbed soul fragments.
From that moment on, he had been studying what sort of conditions would enable him to absorb fragments of souls.
And now, was the culmination of his successful research.
“The Legendary soul fragments beyond the Palatinates. Your will, shall all be mine.”
He held his hands open as he looked at the two egg-sized orbs in his hand, as he suddenly opened his mouth, and ferociously bit into the orbs and swallowing them.
