Immortal Devil Transformation - Book 16: Chapter 79: Not Seeking An Entire Life, Only Seeking this Moment

The army in front of Lin Xi were completely stupefied. All of them turned to look at that sword, shock to the point where they didn’t even dare believe what they saw was real.

He killed their commander with a single sword blow with more than a hundred thousand soldiers between them… This was clearly something that had never happened before in history. They couldn’t comprehend what just happened at all.

It was to the extent where in the eyes of many cultivators, this was completely something that exceeded the limits of cultivators.

“How did you accomplish this?” Even Qin Xiyue was a bit shocked. She even found this sight a bit hard to take in and couldn’t help but ask this.

“When he first said that he wanted to kill us, I already subconsciously thought that I could take him out if I had a guided missile. Then, I realized that even though I don’t have Big Black anymore, I am still a Windstalker in the end. The wind is coming from the north today, so I just released this type of sword,” Lin XI said. Then, because he realized that there was no way Qin Xiyue could possibly know what a guided missile was, he quietly added, “Guided missiles are something from my previous world, a type of weapon that can fly extremely far.”

Qin Xiyue nodded. She knew that it was experience from another world that brought Lin Xi some cultivation insights. When she woke up from her shock, she sensed that Lin Xi’s hand was trembling lightly. She immediately understood that even when it was releasing this type of sword, watching his past fellow student die, even if Qiu Lu was already his enemy, didn’t make Lin Xi happy.

As such, she tightly gripped Lin Xi’s hand and said quietly, “You have to remain strong. Memories will always remain the most beautiful, while reality will be a bit more cruel.

“Sometimes, you really are stronger than me.”

Lin Xi looked at her and nodded. Then, he turned around to look at the great army. As he continued to advance, he said quietly, “Thank you.”

Qin Xiyue turned around to look at Lin Xi’s side profile.

She knew that Lin Xi’s voice of thanks carried too many meanings. Right now, she could even see Lin Xi’s innermost heart. She knew that regardless of how the people of the outside world look at Lin Xi, whether they saw him as a Divine General or something else, in her eyes, Lin Xi was also an ordinary person. He had a strong side, but he had many times where he was weak, when he became discouraged and downcast. This was precisely why Lin Xi seemed even more real in her eyes, why he was able to enter her heart.

She smiled as she looked at the army before them. With a voice only the two of them could hear, she said quietly, “You’ve said before that when one’s heart has been completely filled by one person, it will be really hard for it to hold someone else. Back then, in Spirit Summer Lakeside, Yanan already occupied your heart, so I already had no chance of spending this life with you hand in hand. However, I can still walk with you hand in hand up Purgatory Mountain… I do not seek an entire life, I only seek this moment.”

Lin Xi’s footsteps stopped.

He turned around to look at Qin Xiyue.

Qin Xiyue also calmly looked at him.

She was only dressed in ordinary clothes. However, her face, her expression, made her seem more beautiful than ever before.

Even the most beautiful new brides couldn’t match her current self. Her beauty could even move souls.

Lin Xi nodded deeply. He tightly clenched her hand.

…

The numerous and densely packed army still stood sluggishly.

But when they saw Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue approach closer and closer, even though everyone vaguely believed that no one could kill an army of a hundred thousand, every single person’s bodies seemed to have been filled with lead. As Lin Xi continuously advanced, a mysterious fear began to spread through these people.

Those directly in front of Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue all began to subconsciously back up.

This army that covered this entire wasteland parted like the tides under these two moving specks, opening up a path out of fear.

Lin Xi’s sword already transcended beyond everything they knew. This army of over a hundred thousand didn’t dare make a move when two people advanced; this was something else that had never happened before in the history of Yunqin and Great Mang. However, there were still some who were devoted to the devil king, who believed that the devil king’s power was greater than Lin Xi’s. That was why they still weren’t willing to give up on their resistance, they still wanted to stop Lin Xi from destroying Purgatory Mountain.

Several dozen red robed Divine Adjudicators who were herding slaves appeared at the end of the army.

The great army split open like a tide, in the end completely panicking. They became like migrating startled migrating moose. These red robed Divine Adjudicators stared straight at the calmly approaching Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue.

They began to piously chant.

“All who worship the devil will obtain eternal life, all those who go against the devil will definitely fall into an endless hell, eternally without reprieve… I ask the devil king to bring down endless devil flames, to burn away all disrespectful sinners…”

Under these red robed Divine Adjudicators’ pious chants, the chains linked to those slaves began to shine. They began to burn with extreme heat.

Lin Xi looked at these piously changing Purgatory Mountain red robed Divine Adjudicators. When the unique transparent chains in these red robed Divine Adjudicators’ hands began to burn, he sensed a certain aura. He gave these red robed Divine Adjudicators a look and said, “If something must be burned, then you all can burn yourselves.”

A bit of soul force gathered by his fingertip, instantly compressing the space in front of him. The air that was crushed by his soul force actually released a sparkling luster. Only when it arrived in front of these red robed Divine Adjudicators’ faces did it explode with a bang noise.

These dozens of red robed Divine Adjudicators’ transparent chains already began to produce flames.

But in this instant, those chains all snapped. The slaves in front of them weren’t set on fire, it was instead their bodies that were wrapped within endless heat, starting to burn fiercely.

These dozens of red robed Divine Adjudicators released sky splitting miserable screams at the same time.

Their divine robes burned to ashes, their flesh becoming scorched black dirt. Even their exposed inner organs were burning.

Only when the flames descended, but they discovered that they were the ones who were set aflame instead, these red robed Divine Adjudicator were given another grave reminder that Lin Xi’s strength already far exceeded the past Purgatory Mountain Patriarch.

This was already power completely not of the secular world.

Many red robed Divine Adjudicators who watched all of this through brass hawkeyes felt like they were thrown into a frozen lake, shivering even in the broiling hot Purgatory Mountain.

They knew that apart from Zhang Ping, there was already no one left in this world who could stop Lin Xi. However, they still wanted to test out this non-human level of power.

As such, they began to chant. They pulled on several dozen fine metal chains in front of them.

These dozens of metal chains that didn’t carry any runes activated countess mechanisms.

In front of them, which was also the volcano right in front of Lin Xi, opened up many gates.

Large amounts of cold water poured into the volcanic depths. Some gas that was originally isolated rushed into the volcano.

Lin Xi suddenly sensed something. His brows furrowed slightly.

He raised his head.

The clouds above this volcano in front of him suddenly became a scarlet red color.

“This world doesn’t have fireworks, but Purgatory Mountain set off this world’s most glorious display of fireworks just for you.”

Lin Xi tightly clenched Qin Xiyue’s hand, quietly saying this.

A muffled thunderous noise sounded from within the mountain in front of them.

This black volcano in front of them began to inflate just like a balloon under this muffled thunderous sound.

The eruption was faster than anything any natural volcano could compare to.

The black volcano began to inflate, and then it ruptured. The parts of the black surface that were cracked turned scarlet red. Endless lava burst forth from between these cracks.

The ground beneath Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue even cracked apart. Tremendous power flung them high into the air.

The rupturing mountain, the endless maga, the scorching air, all of this transformed into a world that destroyed everything. The two of them were completely swallowed up within.

The sky reaching pillar of smoke formed a rising mushroom cloud. Lava sprayed high into the sky below.

No one in Purgatory Mountain could possibly see Lin Xi or Qin Xiyue’s figures anymore.

In the past incomparable battle, Purgatory Mountain had used this type of self-destruction method to stop the enemy’s advance and crush the wills of many enemy soldiers and cultivators. Their corpses were all buried within the black rock that condensed after. That was why many Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators were also hoping that Lin Xi would just die like this.

However, what they never expected was that Qin Xiyue only calmly observed this world’s most magnificent ‘fireworks’.

Qin Xiyue had no chance of possibly withstanding this type of natural power. That was why she only let Lin Xi hold her hand, only calmly watched this scene that most people would never get to see in their entire lives.

Lin Xi calmly walked forward.

He always felt like all cultivators seemed insignificant compared to the world itself.

That was why he didn’t have any intentions of fighting back, he only evaded.

He stepped on chunk after chunk of mountain rock that flew around him, even stepped on the splattering lava flow.

Just the natural flow of soul force around him already eliminated all of the scorching air and toxic energies around him and Qin Xiyue.

He brought Qin Xiyue out of the lava storm and rock showers, landing on tangible ground.

He had never seen this type of volcanic eruption scenery either. That was why after he landed, he turned around to calmly watch this dangerous and dazzling volcanic eruption together.

“What beautiful scenery, beautiful just like you.” He couldn’t help but say this quietly in sincere praise.

Qin Xiyue smiled. “Thank you,” she said quietly.

All of the Purgatory Mountain Divine Adjudicators went crazy.

When they discovered that Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue were still perfectly fine, many of them knelt down in fear. Some people began to wail and howl in loss, some were still chanting, their brains empty as they charged in Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue’s direction.

But right now, Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue didn’t pay the incredibly chaotic red robed Divine Adjudicators behind them any attention.

They only continued to hold hands, their backs to the red robed Divine Adjudicators, peacefully watching this scenery.
