Chapter 1259 - 1259: Slaying the Ten Kings, Unifying the Stone Gate Realm!

Inner Sea City.

This was originally the city nearest to the Stone Gate World Entrance, hence its large population.

But after the City Lord was killed last time, it was almost abandoned.

Especially recently, after the news spread of Lin Wudi annihilating the Ten Kings, the city's population nearly entirely left.

Everyone headed to Nanyuan King King City!

The few who remain in Inner Sea City are either businesspeople or those who came to admire the remnants of Lin Wudi's battle.

"Is this where Lin Wudi first showcased his miracles? Doesn't seem like much!"

"What do you know! Do you see those scorch marks over there? Those are traces left by Lin Wudi's self-detonating thunder calamity thoughts, which killed the Mysterious Organization's third tribulation practitioner!"

"Bro, how long has it been since you've been there? The glazed marks have already been dug up!"

"What? These bastards, such scoundrels..."

Lin Wudi exterminated the Ten Kings, unified the Stone Gate Realm, becoming a legend among legends.

The topic of discussion for everyone at the tavern revolves around Lin Wudi.

Suddenly, the chatter in the tavern halts abruptly, as everyone instinctively looks toward the entrance.

At the tavern entrance, a dozen masked figures dressed in black abruptly appear.

"Black List!"

"What is the Black List doing here?"

"Is the Black List also here for Lin Wudi?"

"Ha, the Black List dares to covet Lin Wudi, they must be courting death!"

Countless people secretly communicate, casting strange glances at the dozen Black List experts.

The Black List figures also notice the odd atmosphere but don't think much of it.

Bang!

The leading Black List practitioner throws out a supreme spirit fruit, casually saying, "We have a few questions, whoever can answer them, this spirit fruit is yours!"

Among the forty to fifty peak integration practitioners in the tavern, no one replies or steps forward to take the supreme spirit fruit.

The Black List practitioner's voice turns icy, "Hmm? Given a drink of wine but you seek punishment instead?"

Still, none of the forty to fifty integration practitioners speak up, as if they fear no death.

This scene sparks anger in the Black List practitioner's heart.

In the past, it was always the Black List who did not fear death, earning reverence from everyone in the Heavenly Realm, yet these ants trapped in the Forbidden Sand Sea now dare to play tricks before them.

"Courting death!"

Lightning flashes on the Black List practitioner, arcs of thunder dancing.

"Third Tribulation!"

The face of those integrating in the tavern changes, many instinctively looking out the window at the sky's Light Tower.

Gasp!

Everyone gasps.

Hundreds!

Originally, there was only one white light dot, but now it has become hundreds!

This means hundreds more third tribulation practitioners have entered the Stone Gate Realm!

Even though Lin Wudi's achievements have astonished everyone in the Stone Gate Realm, many are still curious about what wrath-provoking deeds Lin Wudi has committed outside, prompting so many tribulation practitioners to enter the Forbidden Sand Sea.

Bear in mind, for hundreds of third tribulations to live and enter Stone Gate Realm, thousands must have perished along the way!

Such a price, just to capture Lin Wudi?

"Ancestor, don't be angry, ask whatever you wish!"

The tavern owner stands out, speaking on behalf of everyone present.

The Black List expert snorts, "Fools who remember the meal but not the beating! Until you taste true might, you won't understand reverence!"

In the next moment, the tavern is enveloped in dazzling lightning from the tribulation thunder thought.

"Ahh..."

The dozens in the tavern integrating scream miserably, their bodies convulsing.

Even the tavern owner, who attempted reconciliation and offered an olive branch, wasn't spared.

The Black List expert was this overbearing, this reckless.

The lightning fades after ten breaths.

Everyone in the tavern appears half-dead on the ground, occasionally twitching.

"Have you seen this person?"

The Black List practitioner uses the tribulation thunder thought to project Lin Wudi's likeness to everyone present.

"Hahaha..."

One practitioner integrating lying on the ground, still twitching, suddenly bursts into laughter.

The Black List practitioner's gaze turns cold, angrily demanding, "What are you laughing at?"

That integration practitioner looks at the Black List expert with a teasing expression, laughing, "Over a year ago, there was another group that asked the same questions..."

The Black List practitioner, about to act in rage upon noticing the practitioner's gaze, pauses upon hearing this.

"Another group? What kind?"

Another group implies others entered this Stone Gate Realm before them.

For the Black List practitioner, this is not good news.

With a mocking tone, the practitioner integrating replies, "Oh, I misspoke, it should be two groups..."

"Hahaha..."

Almost everyone integrating in the tavern bursts into laughter.

Because they all know the fate of those who sought Lin Wudi's clues.

Complete annihilation!

Those people all died at Lin Wudi's hands!

The Black List practitioner furrows his brow, his mood anxious.

Black List members are no strangers to danger, yet he feels these trapped in the Forbidden Sand Sea are even more insane than those from the Black List.

On the outside, a mere integration practitioner wouldn't dare speak so brazenly to a third tribulation practitioner.

Never mind a third tribulation, even a single tribulation-crossing ancestor would instill fear in integration practitioners.

This Forbidden Sand Sea truly is peculiar.

Bang!

An arc of electricity strikes the practitioner integrating, leaving him bloodied, nearly dead!

"Tell me everything you know, or die!"

The Black List practitioner's patience runs thin, murderous intent starts spreading throughout the tavern.

...

An hour later.

The ruins of Inner Sea City's City Lord's Mansion.

Clad in black robes, a woman with a white gold-patterned mask sits atop a stone chair, listening to her subordinates' reports.

Self-detonating thunder calamity thoughts, destroying hundreds of third tribulations from the Mysterious Organization!

Obliterating all Ghost Specters in Nanyuan King's domain!

Within the sixth-level Ghost Specter, hundreds of Heavenly Realm Guards are annihilated!

Killing the Ten Kings!

Unifying Stone Gate Realm!

Reports gathered from all directions render everyone in the Black List silent.

"Lord Qu Ling, this Lin Wudi is indeed beyond human!"

All eighteen of the Black List's third tribulation practitioners focus their gaze on the leading woman.

Qu Ling is masked, her expression hidden, her voice chilling, "We've already anticipated this, haven't we? No matter how strong, he's merely at the second thunder tribulation!"

The eighteen practitioners silently nod.

Someone remarks, "The chiefs were indeed wise, without their foresight, our situation upon entering would be dire."

"Haha, just like Brother Lin said, this is actually good news for us! Since the Heavenly Realm Guards failed, Lin Wudi and his Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars belong to us!"

"Indeed!"

"Let's set off immediately for Nanyuan King's King City!"

The practitioners chatter, voicing their plans.

Suddenly, a second thunder tribulation practitioner cautiously speaks, "Lord, I've received news, not sure if it's true..."

Qu Ling, in a good mood, replies gently, "We survived and entered Stone Gate Realm, we're life-and-death siblings here, speak freely."

The second thunder tribulation then carefully says, "I heard from city folks that atop the Light Tower, those white light dots represent third tribulation practitioners... We have only nineteen third tribulation members in the Black List, yet there are hundreds of white dots, this..."

Upon hearing these words, everyone instinctively looks up at the Light Tower above.
