Chapter 537: The Most Badass Person on the Scene

Using a mystical technique in conjunction with pills like this was extremely taxing on his body.
However, An Lin had no choice. The fear of becoming a eunuch for ten thousand years constantly hung over his head, spurring him on to hunt for golden Realm Essence Crystals as if his life depended on it!
The Illusionary Star Robe glowed as he activated its concealment abilities to the max.
His aura continued to climb explosively; Return to Void Initial Stage, Return to Void Intermediate Stage, the pinnacle of Return to Void Intermediate Stage, Return to Void Stage Final Stage…
An extremely fearsome aura burst forth, congealing the space within a radius of one and a half kilometers.
Even the five humanoid Jade Beasts faltered before turning their eyes in a certain direction.
Collective chills ran down the spines of Gu Luo and Ao Mingyu as they turned to stare at An Lin with astonished expressions on their faces.
“This aura… How is this possible?!” Gu Luo was completely incredulous.
“It can’t be! He must have used some special treasure to create a false illusion of power!” Dazzling lightning exploded forth from Ao Mingyu’s body as his powerful aura burst forth in an attempt to resist the overwhelming pressure pouring forth from An Lin’s body.
An Lin made his way toward the golden Realm Essence Crystals with a cold expression on his face. “I didn’t want to have to use this power, but you’ve forced my hand! Anyone who dares to try and take these Realm Essence Crystals will die by my hands!”
A golden light imbued with regal might began to flash from his eyes as he spoke, giving him the appearance of a mighty god glaring down upon all the ants of the world.
While everyone was dumbstruck by the mighty aura pouring forth from An Lin’s body, Xue Zhantian began to whoop in excitement.
Cassidy’s eyes widened in shock. “Is that our master?”
Merlin was also staring up at An Lin in disbelief. “Could it be that our master is an extremely powerful mighty figure that has been hiding his true strength all this time? Come to think of it, that’s to be expected. Only an exceptional mighty figure’s blood could be so delicious!”
“Howl! Impossible! He’s just a Soul Formation Stage cultivator! How dare he try to steal the Realm Essence Crystals from me!” Ao Mingyu’s body twisted in the air as lightning exploded in the sky. A fearsome dragon might radiated forth from his body as he glared at An Lin with undisguised enmity.
“You talk a lot of sh*t!” An Lin gripped the air in Ao Mingyu’s direction.
The white lightning around Ao Mingyu’s body suddenly converged to form a white sword of lightning with bolts of destructive golden lightning peeking through.
The power imbued within the white lightning sword was clearly even more monstrous than the white lightning Ao Mingyu had initially unleashed, and it instantly pierced through his body with ferocious might.
“Howl!” Ao Mingyu roared in pain as lightning exploded forth and blood sprayed through the air.
That attack was far too abrupt and Ao Mingyu was caught completely off guard.
“Gasp…”
Everyone drew another collective intake of breath.
How could he use Ao Mingyu’s power against himself? And he amplified the power before doing so as well…
How terrifying!
Gu Luo was initially quite skeptical with regard to the authenticity of An Lin’s power, but his doubts were immediately erased upon seeing An Lin’s lightning manipulation abilities. Surely only a Return to Void Final Stage mighty figure was capable of something like that…
When An Lin continued toward the golden Realm Essence Crystals, not one person dared to stop him!
A huge, gaping wound had been blasted into Ao Mingyu’s body, and he panted heavily as he stared at An Lin with shock and horror.
Gu Luo was also looking at An Lin with a grave expression as he enveloped his body in a barrier of water, as if he was defending himself against a potential attack from An Lin.
The five humanoid Jade Beasts came to their senses after a short pause, and they sprang into action again as they pounced on the three people closest to the golden Realm Essence Crystals!
One humanoid Jade Beast pounced toward Ao Mingyu, another one pounced toward Gu Luo, and the remaining three converged on An Lin.
Holy sh*t!
An Lin felt an immense amount of pressure in that instant!
His heart was racing with anxiety, but he maintained a calm facade. He nonchalantly pulled out an object that looked like a snowball from his storage ring before tossing it toward the three humanoid Jade Beasts. “Even scum like you dare to stand in my way? Taste my Heavenly Frost Palm!”
The snowball he had just tossed was one of the Snow Explosion Orbs from Qing Li’s storage. These were disposable weapons crafted by Meng Zhi, each of which contained explosive power equivalent to the full-power strike of a Return to Void Intermediate Stage cultivator!
The Snow Explosion Orb pierced through the air toward the Jade Beast before exploding with a resounding boom.
A blue explosion swept through the air in all directions in a radius of five kilometers, pulverizing the ground below with its destructive force.
In that instant, the entire heaven and earth was painted blue as an aura of extreme frost exploded forth, freezing everything solid in a radius of five kilometers!
This was a power that exploded first before freezing its target in a dual-action attack.
The three Jade Beasts charging toward An Lin were all knocked flying by the explosive force before their bodies froze solid and became suspended in the air.
Even Ao Mingyu and Gu Luo, who were a few kilometers away, were forced into retreat by the resulting shockwave while bearing astonished expressions on their faces.
“What a powerful palm!” Gu Luo exclaimed in shock as it retreated.
Ao Mingyu was in complete and utter shock. Who would have thought that the human male he had looked down on was actually a Return to Void Stage mighty figure who had been hiding his strength all along!
Could it be… that he was only restricting his cultivation base to avoid the backlash of the laws of this world?
Right! That must be the case!
Ao Mingyu felt like he had discovered the truth, and thought of a speedy retreat was already entering his mind.
An Lin took advantage of the fact that the Jade Beasts were temporarily immobilized to spread open his Wings of Wind, and at the same time, he unleashed his Wind Sword technique, thereby instantly accelerating to eight times the speed of sound!
His body transformed into a white streak that flashed through the air to reach the golden Realm Essence Crystals in a short span of three seconds.
Pluck pluck pluck!
An Lin’s hands left afterimages in the air as he stowed the twenty-one golden Realm Essence Crystals into his storage ring in the blink of an eye!
After stowing away all the golden Realm Essence Crystals, he immediately unleashed his full speed to escape into the distance.
Expressions of indignation and disappointment appeared on Ao Mingyu and Gu Luo’s faces, but they didn’t dare to confront An Lin after witnessing the feats of power he had just displayed.
Cracks appeared on the pristine jade surface of the three humanoid Jade Beasts in the aftermath of the explosion, but their auras did not diminish in the slightest. After seeing An Lin snatch away the golden Realm Essence Crystals, they immediately chased after him with all their might.
“What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and come help me!” An Lin transmitted an enraged roar to his two Blood Tribe underlings.
Cassidy and Merlin both came to their senses before turning perplexed gazes on An Lin.
“Master, you’re so powerful already, why do you still need our help?” Cassidy asked with a quizzical expression.
The image of An Lin blasting away the three Jade Beasts with his Heavenly Frost Palm was still clear in their minds.
What a powerful palm that was…
Master An Lin was clearly more than capable of dealing with the Jade Beasts himself, so why would he require their assistance?
“I can only summon this power for a limited period of time! The laws of this world prohibit me from prolonged usage of this power, so I need your help!” An Lin explained in a panicked voice.
A power too monstrous for this world to contain? How awesome! How bad*ss!
Cassidy and Merlin’s eyes lit up at once. Was their Master already this bad*ss? No wonder he had to hide his true strength!
The two Blood Tribe mighty figures immediately flew toward An Lin to fend off the three enraged Jade Beasts.
Meanwhile, An Lin flew toward Xue Zhantian before commanding Xue Zhantian to carry him further away.
The after-effect of the Origin Energy of the Netherworld was beginning to take effect on his body, and he was too feeble to continue escaping through his own strength.
“Master! You were so bad*ss back there! You were like a War God who made the whole world tremble and quiver at your feet!” Xue Zhantian yelled excitedly.
“Hehe… of course! I am the legendary Sword Immortal An Lin renowned across the entire Kingdom of the Nine States!” A smug, confident smile appeared on An Lin’s face.
Flexing in front of a bunch of Return to Void Stage mighty figures was such a thrilling and stimulating experience!
Most importantly, he reeled in a massive haul of twenty-one golden Realm Essence Crystals!
