Chapter 1040
As Lan Xiaoni looked at the huge flaming bug, tears almost fell from her eyes.
She had been taking precautions this whole time to not be eaten by An Lin, but she didn’t think that even the monsters of this world wanted to eat her.
The massive bug engulfed Lan Xiaoni with its huge mouth and was just about to chew when its body shuddered violently. Blue energy erupted forth, which instantly froze the flaming bug’s body while extinguishing its flames at the same time.
Bam!
The flaming sand bug’s body exploded.
Lan Xiaoni’s entire body had been enshrouded in an ice garment, and she wore a cold expression on her face, which was just as cold as the aura erupting from her body. At the same time, there was a little blue fish swimming in the air above her slender palm.
“Tsk tsk tsk, you’re starting to look like the hope of the Spirit Fish Clan now,” An Lin said with a smile.
That flaming sand bug possessed approximately the power of a Soul Formation Final Stage cultivator, but it had been insta-killed by Lan Xiaoni.
The power displayed by Lan Xiaoni was among the most powerful in all Soul Formation Stage living beings. Of course, it was still completely incomparable to An Lin.
Boom boom boom!
Eight flaming sand bugs with extremely powerful auras leaped out from the sand before glowering at An Lin and Lan Xiaoni.
Lan Xiaoni’s expression shifted minutely at the sight of so many sand bugs and was just about to unleash an attack.
However, An Lin didn’t even look at those sand bugs. Instead, he stomped a foot violently into the ground.
“Get the f*ck out here!”
Boom!
A violent tremor ran through the ground, and the entire area of sand below him caved in.
“Roar!” an agonized roar intertwined with fury erupted.
The golden sand in a certain location suddenly exploded, and a golden ball of flames appeared, upon which the temperatures within this area elevated drastically.
Each time it breathed, there were white spikes extending and withdrawing on its body, sending scorching heatwaves surging through the air.
Lan Xiaoni’s expression shifted drastically upon seeing this. “This powerful aura! This terrifying heat! There’s no mistaking it! That thing is the source of the heat in this world!”
The mermaid princess summoned a white ball with a fearful expression as she stared at the ball of fire.
Just her little blue fish was not going to be enough. This was another one of her trump cards.
“Hahahaha… Seeing as you’re so eager to die, I’ll send you both on your way!”
The golden spiky ball of fire chortled as two smaller balls of fire appeared beside its body before being hurled at An Lin and Lan Xiaoni.
The balls of fire were imbued with extremely fearsome power of flames, making the air twist and warp in its wake. The golden sand below was also instantly melted into a type of golden liquid.
Lan Xiaoni let loose a delicate cry and injected her vital energy into the white ball, upon which it transformed into a white wall of ice. At the same time, the little blue fish opened its mouth, where terrifying ice power began to converge within!
A faint smile appeared on An Lin’s face, and he clapped his hands together before separating them, upon which a blue vortex appeared. The power of extreme frost instantly transformed the scorching area within a radius of over a kilometer into a realm of deathly coldness.
The ball of fire seemed to be able to sense how terrifying the vortex between An Lin’s hands was, and its spikes withdrew as its body began to tremble violently. “Wait, I…”
“Too late.” An Lin spoke in an expressionless voice, “Extreme Frost Vortex!”
Crack!
The blue vortex instantly expanded to over a kilometer in radius, freezing and engulfing everything within range with the power of extreme frost.
This was the spell technique An Lin had obtained from his first-stage Yin God cultivation method, the Extreme Frost Vortex.
Heaven and earth instantly cooled down to arctic temperatures!
The eight flaming sand bugs didn’t even get a chance to cry out before they were frozen and pulverized.
The golden ball of fire roared as dazzling golden light erupted from its body, seemingly as if it was trying to draw upon the power of flames from the entire desert to resist An Lin’s vortex.
However, it didn’t get much of a chance to retaliate before the vortex engulfed its body.
“Ah…!” The ball of flames wailed in anguish like a drowning sun, and its voice grew more and more faint before it was finally vanquished by the boundless power of extreme frost.
The vortex slowly subsided, and snow began to fall in this world.
Everything fell silent again.
An Lin slowly made his way toward the frozen ball of fire.
The ball of fire had been immortalized as an ice sculpture with a twisted expression of horror on its face.
“In… insta-killed? All of them?” Lan Xiaoni stared blankly at the scenes around her.
All of the powerful sand bugs and the super-fearsome fireball monster had all been insta-killed?
Her wall of ice was still standing in front of her like an idiot, and the little blue fish had accumulated too much power, to the point that its stomach had swelled up drastically and its eyes were rolling over into the back of its head. In the end, it had to unleash the energy somewhere, so it blasted it into the sky.
Boom!
Blue energy exploded in the air above.
These were fireworks for Big Boss An Lin!
Lan Xiaoni: “…”
An Lin: “…”
An Lin shrugged and ignored Lan Xiaoni, who was still struggling to recover from her shock, before aiming a light kick at the ice sculpture before him.
Crack…
Bam!
The ball of fire exploded into a flurry of ice crystals.
An Lin picked up a little golden ball before putting it into his storage ring in one smooth motion, like a true, seasoned veteran. It was clear that this was a well-rehearsed process for him.
Lan Xiaoni pouted with an aggrieved expression, but she didn’t dare to say anything.
An Lin had snatched the treasure again, leaving her with nothing. She had also contributed…
She had killed a sand bug…
Heaven and earth seemed to have detected that the most powerful being here had been slain, and an intense spatial power enshrouded An Lin and Lan Xiaoni again.
A nauseating rush of dizziness struck them again.
An Lin absolutely detested this method of spatial teleportation. It was not friendly at all!
After a short while, An Lin and Lan Xiaoni arrived in that extremely cavernous chamber again.
An Lin pulled out the shiny golden ball and unleashed his Divine Inspection Technique.
[Golden Yang Chaotic Stone: A divine stone that exists within chaos and is the result of a fusion between metal and yang elements. It is extremely robust and possesses extremely potent energy storage abilities. This is a divine-rank material.]
Divine-rank material!
An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath. This treasure was much more valuable than he had imagined.
Lan Xiaoni silently clasped a hand over her voluptuous chest as her heart throbbed with pain at the sight of An Lin’s elated expression.
At this moment, the statue began to move again.
The Xi Haizi statue wore a joyful expression. “Congratulations, fated ones, on passing the trial of the ball of light. I hope you can take this treasure to contribute to the development of your tribe!”
A faint smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “For sure!”
Lan Xiaoni completely broke down, and she almost threw up a mouthful of blood.
F*ck off! Those were treasures meant for the Heavenly Turtle Tribe and the Spirit Fish Clan! My respected ancestor, you’re giving your treasure to a human! You’re contributing to the development of the human race!
Unfortunately, the statue was like a stupid in-game NPC that was completely oblivious to all of this.
The balls of light appeared before the Xi Haizi statue again before floating toward An Lin and Lan Xiaoni.
“You still have a chance to continue searching for opportunities within the balls of light.”
There were now only five balls of light left, which were respectively black, white, blue, green, and red.
Lan Xiaoni remained silent.
An Lin stroked his chin and considered for a moment before pointing to the green ball of light.
Lan Xiaoni pointed at the green ball of light expressionlessly.
The two of them came to another happy consensus…
The Xi Haizi statue gave another joyous smile. “You really are a harmonious couple. There is no need for words. It’s as if you can read each other’s minds!”
An Lin: “Hehe.”
Lan Xiaoni tried to force a smile onto her face, but she was simply unable to.
