"What's the point of this?"
After offering a faint critique, Xiao Lin was somewhat speechless.
A Dou Wang actually wanted to hunt a Dou Huang who possessed a Heaven Realm soul? Did he think he was the main character?
Therefore, Xiao Lin's heart didn't ripple in the slightest regarding the fact that he had instant-killed his opponent with a single finger. After all, with his strength, wouldn't it seem like he was too much of a failure if he couldn't insta-kill the other party?
He might as well find a piece of tofu and knock himself dead with it!
As for that God-Slaying Finger, it was also a Dou Technique created by Xiao Lin himself. It gathered Star Dou Qi at the fingertip to form a single point, which then erupted instantly.
Its single-point destructive power even surpassed the Starry Grand Seal!
Sure enough, after Yan Bohong was killed by Xiao Lin's finger, his corpse fell from mid-air, and one could only see a bloody hole existing between his eyebrows.
Inside the opponent's brain, everything had already been destroyed by the God-Slaying Finger. It could be said that Yan Bohong passed away very peacefully, without the slightest bit of pain.
Subsequently, Xiao Lin took out the storage ring from Yan Bohong's body and then destroyed the corpse to erase all traces.
It had to be said that as a Dou Wang powerhouse and a member of the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Family, Yan Bohong still had quite a bit of wealth.
Xiao Lin only used his soul power to roughly scan the opponent's storage ring; inside, besides hundreds of thousands of gold coins, there were also various medicinal pills, cultivation techniques, and Dou Techniques.
Although the highest were only Tier 5 Pills and Xuan Grade cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques, it still made Xiao Lin instantly wealthy.
"As expected, killing and looting is indeed the fastest road to wealth! People say 'killing and arson earn you a golden belt,' and it truly does not deceive me!"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his harvest.
At this moment, he even gave birth to a trace of the idea of relying on killing and looting to make himself rich.
However, very quickly, this tempting thought was thrown out of his mind by Xiao Lin. Firstly, it was because Xiao Lin was influenced by the moral values of his previous life.
This time, it was Yan Bohong of the Luo Yan Empire who proactively sought trouble with him, so if he killed him, then he killed him; his heart would not have the slightest guilt.
But if he were to go around killing people just to make himself wealthy, to be honest, Xiao Lin's heart could not accept it. The reason a human is a human is because they still have a bottom line!
Secondly, killing and looting was not a long-term plan.
Since ancient times, which powerhouse has relied on constantly killing and looting to eventually become the strongest? Not to mention the issue of offending people, if one day you encounter an old schemer like Xiao Lin, you'll flip your car in minutes!
Therefore, it was fine to think about such things, but they certainly couldn't be done.
After such an interlude, Xiao Lin didn't care much about other matters anymore. Instead, he turned around and walked toward the building he had discovered earlier that was still relatively well-preserved.
This building had a total of nine floors. The exterior appeared to carry a hint of decaying aura, but it still stood firmly upon this land. As for what the building was called?
Apologies, the characters on the plaque were already blurred; only the final word, "Pavilion," was still considered well-preserved. Just from this, what ghostly information could be seen!
However, Xiao Lin was not worried about this.
Long before the protective grand array of the secret realm had completely shattered, he was already able to roughly judge the strength level of the ancient sect within this secret realm.
It was a force of at most the Dou Zun level, and it might not even have that!
Why was Xiao Lin so certain?
That was because the place where this unknown sect was located was not a self-contained independent space. One must know that Dou Sheng powerhouses all have the ability to personally open up a dimension of space.
Think about it; if this were a Dou Sheng level force, how could this secret realm merely be shrouded by a formation rather than existing in another space?
Additionally, according to what the Mittel Clan said, a Rank 7 Magic Beast could shake the protective grand array of this secret realm to the point of collapse, and it could at most last for another three months.
How could this possibly be a Dou Sheng level force?
No matter how incompetent a Dou Sheng level force was, it wasn't something a Rank 7 Magic Beast could break through its sect-protecting grand array. Clearly, this was a force that was at most of the Dou Zun level!
Perhaps because of the passage of time, the sect-protecting grand array here was unable to continue maintaining its strongest power, which is why it could be shaken to the point of collapse by a Rank 7 Magic Beast.
Or, quite simply, it was just a force of the Dou Zong level.
As for forces below the Dou Zong level, that was equally impossible. After all, whose force below the Dou Zong level could, after so many years, still prevent a Rank 7 Magic Beast from completely breaking its Sect Guardian Formation?
Therefore, Xiao Lin concluded that this secret realm was merely the remains of a Dou Zong or Dou Zun level force.
Relying on Xiao Lin's current strength as an eight-star Dou Huang plus a Heaven Realm soul, even if it were a Dou Zun level force, he still had the confidence to ensure his own safety!
Since that was the case, what did he have to fear?
Consequently, after dealing with Yan Bohong, Xiao Lin stepped into this nine-story pavilion without hesitation. The moment Xiao Lin stepped into this nine-story pavilion, at the top of this pavilion, a sleeping soul slowly opened its eyes.
"So many years have passed, has someone finally arrived?"
This awakened soul stared at Xiao Lin, who had stepped into the nine-story pavilion, and then whispered.
As for Xiao Lin, the very first moment he stepped into this nine-story pavilion, he felt as if he were being watched by something. However, when he swept out with his powerful Heaven Realm soul power, he discovered nothing at all.
"An illusion?"
After finding nothing, Xiao Lin couldn't help but furrow his brows. Although Xiao Lin didn't sense any danger at this moment, he always felt that something was very wrong!
However, as for where this "wrongness" lay, he couldn't quite say for a moment. After irritably shaking his head, Xiao Lin tried his best to calm himself down and ignore that uncomfortable feeling.
At this time, having already stepped into the first floor of the nine-story pavilion, Xiao Lin also began to size up the surrounding environment.
Empty—incredibly empty.
This was Xiao Lin's evaluation of the first floor of this nine-story pavilion.
There was nothing here; there weren't even stairs leading to the second floor. The only thing present was a huge black circular pattern on the ground in the very center of the first floor.
Out of caution, Xiao Lin did not immediately approach that huge black circular pattern in the middle of the first floor.
"Strange. Looking from the outside, this pavilion clearly has nine floors of height. Why is it that in this first floor, there isn't even a passage leading to the second floor? Could it be that the people of this sect used to fly up to the second floor in the past?"
Xiao Lin pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, the first feeling this nine-story pavilion gave Xiao Lin was odd—very odd!
At this moment, Xiao Lin also guessed that he might have hit the jackpot. The uniqueness of this nine-story pavilion might not be any worse than the central main hall of this sect!
