Chapter 106: The gains of his devourment

If comets were fleeting, what then was everlasting?

If a butterfly’s life faded before autumn, would it not bear any regrets?

Murong Lin understood that nothing was truly fleeting.

Following the ephemeral brilliance, what remained was an enduring darkness.

After the transient meteor, it would reappear in centuries.

Following the death of one butterfly, others would emerge in the following year, with even more resplendence.

Hence, life was not fleeting. There had to be faith that life would leave an enduring imprint.

Murong Lin swung his newly forged fourth blade with deliberate slowness.

“Everlasting Style!”

The blade light moved, seeming both incredibly swift and agonizingly slow simultaneously.

It painted its path wherever it travelled, leaving traces that seemed destined to never vanish.

Despair began to etch itself onto Meng Xing Hun’s face as he witnessed this attack.

However, echoing shouts soon emanated behind him, causing his despair to waver momentarily. He brandished his sword, charging forward with a defiant roar, “Run, everyone! If even one of you survives, it’s worth it!”

He started swinging his blade again.

But this time, it was no longer directed towards Murong Lin.

He knew that blocking this blade was impossible, and all he could hope to do now was to try and save these people before his inevitable demise.

Meng Xing Hun sacrificed his own vitality as he brought down his sword.

This strike held a chilling finality incomparable to his last.

It was akin to a sorrowful comet streaking through the sombre night sky.

The sword’s radiance flashed, obliterating a multitude of Blood Bat Locusts and forging a path.

However, before the others could seize the opportunity to flee, they bore witness to Murong Lin’s blade light striking Meng Xing Hun.

The world was an everlasting entity.

Had anyone ever truly glimpsed the boundlessness of this world?UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Even in their last moments, it would remain unchanging.

And this blade led Meng Xing Hun to his demise.

The world was everlasting, and none could escape its grasp.

Meng Xing Hun had no time to react as the blade severed his body in two.

Upon stepping beyond the end of the sea, one would step out of the boundaries of this hidden realm, and one would be met with the endless void that lay beyond. This boundless void was so treacherous that even those in the Cognizance realm might not last for more than a second.

After a month had passed, Murong Lin’s time within the hidden realm came to an end. The three-month cultivation period he had been granted had elapsed. He gathered the countless Blood Bat Locusts and stored them within the spirit familiar storage bag provided by the system.

With his venture concluded, he began to assess the gains he had acquired from this endeavour

“Anti, open the system window.” Murong Lin requested.

“During these three months, my cultivation has broken through to the seventh layer, and I’ve awakened Blade Intent while creating the four styles of the Heaven and Earth Blade Art. But compared to the previous two months, it still feels a bit lacking.” Murong Lin remarked with a shake of his head as he took in his surroundings.

He was still within the Demonic Beast Forest, although his exact location remained unknown.

Murong Lin clapped his hands, conjuring a figure dressed in green within the forest.

This figure approached him with respect, kneeling before Murong Lin and addressing him, “Floor master Qing Sha Lou greets master.”

“In these few days, has anything significant happened?” Murong Lin inquired, not particularly concerned about Yan’s affairs.

He viewed the entire country of Yan as a trifling matter that he could easily crush with his current level of cultivation.

And as for his friends and subordinates within Yan?

For a person like Murong Lin, they held even less significance to him.

“Master, after your three-month seclusion, many significant events have occurred. Please allow your servant to explain in detail.

Firstly, the matter you are most concerned about, the protagonists.”
