Chapter 97: The Wraith God is Too Strong! Lin Tianming Desperately Seeks a Solution! Summons the Star Key Angel!
Lin Tianming turned around, hoping to see what was chasing them, but he found nothing behind him. However, he could sense something attacking him from the void.
He dodged instinctively.
“Teacher Tianshui, Qingxue, Feng Lan, I didn’t encounter anything bizarre or terrifying when I turned around. Why don’t you try looking back?”
Hearing Lin Tianming’s nonchalant suggestion, they didn’t know whether to call him foolish or commend his bravery.
In their view, Lin Tianming had already reached a point of no return.
They could barely protect themselves, much less help Lin Tianming, and could only struggle against the whispers driving them mad.
“Winter Pig, I’m calling you out. Do you dare show yourself? You’re just hiding and acting mysterious because you can’t beat us, right?”
[This isn’t an invisibility skill, Brother Tianming. The Wraith God hasn’t found a suitable human vessel to descend into our world…]
Hearing Ye Qingxue’s inner thoughts explaining this, Lin Tianming dodged another invisible attack with his keen senses.
[But even so, seeing it would be more terrifying than not seeing it. You’d face a madness beyond the whispers, ultimately dying in insanity after glimpsing the Wraith God’s true form in another world.]
After all this time, he finally got some useful information about the Wraith God, gaining further understanding.
Previously, Ye Qingxue and the others’ inner thoughts were filled with fear of the Wraith God, providing no useful information.
But now, even with more knowledge, Lin Tianming still couldn’t see this so-called Lord of Winter.
Would seeing the Wraith God really lead to madness and death?
He didn’t believe it!
Golden ascension light burst from his eyes as Lin Tianming tried to pierce through the Lord of Winter’s true form with his Ascended Spirit power, hoping to better counter its attacks.
“Your body… your body… it’s perfect… give it to me! I want you!”
Hearing the Lord of Winter’s words, Lin Tianming felt a chill.
“Get lost! I have no interest in a perverted monster hiding in the shadows, constantly spying on our world!”
Even with his Ascended Spirit power, he couldn’t see the Lord of Winter’s body, leaving Lin Tianming at a loss.
Though immune to its whispers, he couldn’t see the Wraith God.
Was there no way to attack this stuttering, creepy pig Wraith God?
While Lin Tianming pondered a solution, the Lord of Winter, seemingly fixated on his body, increased the frequency of its attacks.
“I want… I want… your body…”
“Give me… become my vessel… help me descend… it is your supreme honor!”
Boom!
The Lord of Winter’s intermittent whispers accompanied its attacks from the void, each strike more powerful than the last.
Initially, Lin Tianming could dodge with his sharp senses, but it became increasingly difficult.
Zzz!
Something pierced his left palm, and icy coldness invaded his body through the bleeding wound, sending chills through him.
A strange black aura, similar but more sinister than demonic energy, surrounded the wound, corroding his skin.
In seconds, his palm was covered in festering sores, spreading rapidly.
Recalling the rotting corpses they had seen, Lin Tianming realized he had fallen victim to the same attack.
“My vessel… I want you… give me your body…”
Another unseen attack pierced his right palm, leaving another corrosive, festering wound.
Suddenly, he felt an invisible force lift him into the air by his pierced palms.
“Become part of me…”
“Get lost! Your disgusting attacks are repulsive. Who wants to become your body, you stuttering Winter Pig! You must have brain damage!”
Spirit Transformation!
Lin Tianming cursed and transformed into a spirit form.
The moment he became a spirit, he sensed the terrifying eye that had appeared when he conquered the Frozen Bell, now fixated on him from the void.
The feeling of terror was even stronger than before!
At that moment, Lin Tianming realized the eye belonged to the Lord of Winter.
He tried the same trick that had dispersed the eye before, using all three of his Ascended Spirit skills at once.
Spirit Spark!
Spirit Storm!
Soul Capture!
However, this time, his skills couldn’t dispel the terrifying eye.
Was it because the eye hadn’t fully revived before, just a remnant spirit, and now it was the Lord of Winter’s real body in another world?
At that moment, Lin Tianming felt like a lamb to the slaughter in his spirit form, even more vulnerable than in his normal state.
A grand will from the void descended, seemingly intent on erasing his exposed soul.
This stuttering Winter Pig... it’s more terrifying than the Ascended Spirit deity!
Lin Tianming had a strong premonition that the counterattack he used on the Ascended Spirit deity wouldn’t work on this one.
Seeing the grand will about to erase his spirit form, Lin Tianming followed his intuition and exited his spirit form.
Once he returned to his physical form, the terrifying eye and the grand will disappeared.
“Can’t use spirit form against this stuttering pig? In spirit form, I felt completely powerless against it, like I had entered its domain…”
Muttering to himself, Lin Tianming had no choice but to give up using his spirit form to avoid the void attacks.
He felt trapped in a deadly situation.
Using Spirit Transformation could avoid the Lord of Winter’s invisible attacks, but his spirit form would have to endure the Lord of Winter’s will, which he couldn’t resist and would be annihilated.
Not using Spirit Transformation meant he would be severely injured and killed bit by bit by the Lord of Winter’s invisible attacks.
As time passed, Lin Tianming continued to suffer severe injuries from the Lord of Winter’s formless assaults.
Boom!
His abdomen was also pierced, creating a bleeding hole. The cold air invaded his body, and his skin began to fester and rot.
Lin Tianming, who had held on for so long, was finally reaching his limit.
This was the most helpless battle he had encountered since awakening his powers.
“Is this the power of a wraith god? It's so frustrating… I’m going to be possessed by a stuttering pig of a wraith god and become its vessel!”
Falling to the ground, Lin Tianming, unwilling to become the vessel for the Lord of Winter’s descent, continued to think of a solution.
In this moment of crisis, an image of the Star Key Angel residing in the Evernight Star Palace suddenly flashed in his mind.
According to the information provided by the mechanical brain in the Mechanical Realm, the gods of the three Ascended Kingdoms were once humans, sharing a common ancestor with them.
But the Star Key Angel in the Lost Lands had abilities similar to those of a wraith god. Just a single incomprehensible whisper had driven Ye Qingxue insane.
Maybe she could deal with this stuttering pig wraith god?
However, she held deep hostility towards him for taking her divine weapon, the Star Key, and had vowed to find him. Would she help him?
He had no other choice!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tianming, in this moment of crisis, decided to take a desperate gamble.
Activating the power of the Star Key, Lin Tianming shouted towards the radiant Star Key.
“Star Key Angel, haven’t you been looking for me? I’m right here. If you can hear me, come and find me!”
As if she truly heard Lin Tianming’s daring call, the Star Key immediately manifested a Starry Mirror.
The Starry Mirror slowly revealed the beautiful palace floating under the Evernight sky, with the image zooming in rapidly, entering the palace.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming quickly turned the Starry Mirror towards the front.
I’m counting on you!
In the deepest part of the Evernight Star Palace, a beautiful and holy angelic woman sat on her starry throne, slowly opening her eyes from slumber.
Awakened by Lin Tianming’s call, she intended to find him, but due to Lin Tianming’s actions, she saw the indistinct Lord of Winter.
The Star Key Angel, with her perfect angelic face, lightly opened her red lips: “Is this the helper you brought to deal with me?”
Lin Tianming was momentarily stunned, but quickly snapped into a performance mode, letting out a villainous laugh.
“What do you think?”
Hearing Lin Tianming’s acknowledgment, the Star Key Angel, sitting on her starry throne, immediately radiated brilliant starlight power.
“Unfortunately, the helper you found isn’t up to the task. Go back to your filthy world!”
As she spoke, the entire Starry Mirror, under Lin Tianming’s astonished gaze, released a terrifying beam of starlight, shooting towards the location of the Lord of Winter.
