Chapter 870 Childish Spirit

The bottle gourd in Yun Lintian's hand had the ability to swallow everything as long as the user provided enough profound energy. Yun Lintian normally used it to brew wines and rarely took it out for the battle. Although he didn't know whether it worked against the humming noise and the black lightning bolts, it was better than summoning the crown.

Yun Lintian quickly injected his profound energy into the bottle gourd, and the gourd quickly expanded out, transforming into a five-meter-long one. At the same time, it created a terrifying suction force and began to swallow the surrounding lightning bolts.

Hei Lei's expression changed drastically upon seeing this scene. He smashed the drum once again, but all the black lightning bolts, including the soul-penetrating sound, were entirely swallowed by the strange-looking bottle gourd.

Yun Lintian regained the clarity and skillfully controlled the bottle gourd to absorb all of Hei Lei's attacks until everything vanished completely.

In that instant, The Thunder symbol within Yun Lintian's Origin Core shone brightly, and the surrounding lightning elements began to gather in the sky above Yun Lintian.

A dreadful feeling emerged in Hei Lei's heart. His intuition screamed madly at him, telling him to run as fast as he could.

Without thinking further, Hei Lei put the demonic drum away and hurriedly fled away toward the north with explosive speed.

Yun Lintian's Spiritual Sense locked onto Hei Lei, and golden lightning sparks immediately flashed through his eyes as he uttered coldly. "Descend!"

Rumble—

The sky trembled as a giant pillar-like golden lightning bolt beamed down upon Hei Lei.

"Don't go too far!!" Hei Lei screamed furiously when he saw this scene. He urged every ounce of Abyssal Energy within his body and created several layers of the black lightning cage around himself.

At the same time, he didn't hesitate to throw the demonic drum out, preparing to sacrifice it to save his life.

Boom!

The golden lightning bolt descended upon Hei Lei, penetrating every layer of his black lightning cage, and landed on the demonic drum. With a deafening explosion, the drum exploded into pieces as Hei Lei's figure was seen flying several kilometers away before heavily smashing on the ground.

Yun Lintian retracted the bottle gourd and gripped the White Dragon Spear tightly. His figure blurred and soon appeared above Hei Lei. He pointed the spear downward at the latter, and a Vermilion Bird flame immediately lit up at the tip of the spear.

"Kill!"

Yun Lintian uttered coldly and thrust the spear downward with all his might.

Hei Lei stared at the incoming spear in horror. He urged the little to no Abyssal Energy in his body, struggling to escape from this place.

Swoosh!

Before Yun Lintian could finish Hei Lei off, a terrifying windstorm abruptly blew out of nowhere and completely caught Yun Lintian off-guard. He was instantly swept away by the windstorm and slammed onto a tall building in the distance.

The windstorm continued for ten seconds before disappearing as if nothing had happened before.

Yun Lintian got up from the ground. He looked at Hei Lei and discovered the latter was nowhere to be seen now.

"Damn it!" He couldn't help cursing aloud. He must teach The Storm a lesson later.

Yun Lintian executed the Shadow Step and headed toward the north while spreading his Spiritual Sense, searching for Hei Lei's trace. However, he didn't find anything after traveling for half an hour. This made him furious to the extreme.

"Don't let me catch you later. Especially that naughty The Storm's spirit." Yun Lintian said angrily.

In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Yun Huanxin couldn't help saying angrily. "Why did it help the enemy?"

On the side, Lauya said. "The previous spirit had a playful personality, and her mood had always been unstable. I guess this newly born spirit has a similar personality to her."

"This one is more childish," Hongyue added. "No matter how playful the previous spirit was, she had never helped the enemy. Maybe it's better to let Lintian destroy it. Who knows what would happen in the future?"

Yun Ruanyu asked curiously. "Would it be a problem, Princess Hongyue?"

Hongyue shook her head. "The Beyond Heaven Relics' spirits were originally created by the Beyond Heaven King himself. There would be no problem if Lintian erased it." She paused for a second and continued. "What I am curious right now is whether The Storm's spirit has really appeared by itself."

"You mean… It can be possessed by other spirits?" Yun Ruanyu frowned slightly.

Hongyue nodded. "This city itself is very ancient and full of bizarre things. First, the so-called forbidden art that Skymist Emperor used is rare, even in the Divine Realm. At least, I have never seen one that could allow the living dead regenerate themselves without a master controlling it behind."

"Secondly, this inner area is the center of The Storm, yet it is completely preserved. You two might not know how powerful the Beyond Heaven Relics are because you normally see Lintian easily subdue and integrate with them. I can only tell you that each one of them is capable of blowing this world into nothingness."

She turned to look at Yun Ruanyu and Yun Huanxin. "Even though The Storm has been weakened to one-tenth of its original strength, it's impossible for this city to withstand it. Let alone leaving these buildings unscathed."

Yun Ruanyu's mind spun rapidly. Although her knowledge regarded the divine artifact was too shallow, she also didn't believe the Skymist Ancient City could withstand The Storm… What was the secret behind this?

"Should we remind Lintian?" Yun Huanxin asked.

Hongyue waved her hand casually. "You don't need to worry about him. Although he sometimes looks stupid, his brain is not bad. I bet he has already guessed it."

Yun Huanxin turned to Yun Ruanyu as if she was asking for her opinion.

Yun Ruanyu nodded her head gently. She knew Yun Lintian very well. An exceedingly cautious person like him was impossible to not figure out.

It was true, as everyone guessed. After Yun Lintian listened to Cai Jingjing's words, he had already guessed there was a big secret hiding behind this city. It was just that Hei Lei popped up first, preventing him from thinking further.
