Past experience could be a guide for the future.

Everyone secretly raised their guard against Demon God Lin and told themselves to be extra careful of him in the future. He wasn’t only fierce in battle but also had a fierce heart and cunning mind. They could suffer from his schemes if they were not cautious!

Earlier, the five experts from the Zhongli Clan and the Blue Luan Clan had already been deceived by him. Under the impression that his spirit power was weak, they took advantage of the opportunity to attack his friend Yue Jianming.

Who would have thought that he was only pretending? He suddenly removed his disguise and caused the five experts to be tragically eliminated.

Even Zhongli Wuji and Qing Lian’er were frightened by him and ran away in a panic as if their buttocks had been caught on fire.

But now, Lin Xun played the same old tricks. He deliberately pretended to be weak like he was waiting for someone to take the bait. Even though he hadn’t said a word, Sha Liuchan and the others were so eager to get revenge that they jumped out and took the bait. In the end, they were deceived once again and suffered a tragedy.

The slap in the face was so skilful that everyone felt the pain for Sha Liuchan and the others.

So cunning and cruel!

Demon God Lin does not let go of any chance to hit his opponents!

However, they thought wrongly of Lin Xun this time…

After all, this was the fourth test so how would Lin Xun be in the mood to play tricks on Sha Liuchan and the others?

Sha Liuchan and the others brought it on themselves. They eagerly brought their faces close to him so he had no choice but to slap them.

“Lin Xun, you’re so despicable!!” Sha Liuchan and the others were so ashamed and furious that they yelled at the top of their voices.

This guy did this on purpose! He is so cunning! He dug a pit on purpose and waited for us to jump in.

“Am I despicable? All the fellow cultivators present saw that you wanted a beating and jumped out at your own initiative. Now that you have embarrassed yourself, you call me despicable? How can you call yourself a genius talent?” Lin Xun snorted coldly.

Everyone stared at Lin Xun, speechless. No one could refute what he said.

Sha Liuchan and the others were so infuriated that their lungs were about to rupture. How would they have known that the high and mighty Demon God Lin would be so cunning and cruel?

To screw them up, he didn’t care about his morals!

“As I said, don’t waste your time with idiots, and you are worse than idiots. At best, you are just a bunch of clowns. You are ridiculously deluded!” Lin Xun spoke leisurely, but his words slashed Sha Liuchan and the others like knives.

They hated the fact that they couldn’t charge over and tear him to pieces.

“To be honest, I didn’t want to deal with you guys, but you had to bring your face over to me! Are you guys not happy? Then open your eyes and watch!”

His words shocked everyone once again. Demon God Lin has already lit a Spirit Lantern, what else does he want to do now?

Sha Liuchan stood blankly.

Buzz!

His soul of the primordial spirit continued to pace the void and soon came to stand in front of a Spirit Lantern and lightly waved its sleeve.

The Spirit Lantern bloomed with endless light like the sun!

Si—

Everyone was dumbfounded. It was already shocking enough that someone had lit a lantern to the level of Midday Sun.

But not only did Demon God Lin light another Spirit Lantern, it was illuminated also to the level of Midday Sun!

This was too unbelievable. No one had heard of someone lighting two Spirit Lanterns in the fourth test, and both of them presented earthshaking visions as they were illuminated!

“He…” Everyone was at a loss for words.

Even Ji Xingyao, Yu Lingkong and Luo Jia were startled by the scene and quickly swept their spirit senses over to look closer. But when they realized what had happened, their hearts trembled wildly in their chests.

It was unheard of that someone lit up two Spirit Lanterns to the levels of Midday Sun!

“That guy did this on purpose!” Ji Xingyao gnashed her teeth. Just a moment ago, she couldn’t wait to see how Lin Xun would clean up the mess, but in the blink of an eye, he caused such a huge scene again!

“I was mistaken...” Yu Lingkong muttered to himself while inexplicable emotions rushed up in his heart along with a hint of uncontrollable murderous intent.

He felt threatened by Lin Xun, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

A guy to whom he had never attached any importance to possessed tremendous spirit power that made him feel threatened. He couldn’t accept that.

“He really is a demon god-like figure...” Luo Jia uttered thoughtfully.

……

Sha Liuchan and the others trembled as they gritted their teeth, and their faces alternated between white and purple.

When Lin Xun lit the first Spirit Lantern, they might have felt disgruntled, but now, they were filled with shame and anger.

It was such a huge blow!

At the thought of their mocking remarks and provocation against Lin Xun, they wanted to find a hole and bury themselves. It was too embarrassing and shameful!

“How is he Demon God Lin? He is more like a god at digging pits for other people...” someone murmured.

Everyone found the name very apt. He so calmly and casually dug a pit for other people to fall into. His pit-digging ability had to be close to reaching the dao.

Some people couldn’t help but pity and laugh at Sha Liuchan and the others when they saw them so stunned by the blow.

……

Five Spirit Lanterns hung in the night sky like blazing suns, shining brightly and complementing each other.

They belonged to Ji Xingyao, Yu Lingkong, Luo Jia and Lin Xun.

However, to everyone’s surprise, it wasn’t over yet.

Lin Xun’s spirit power continued to grow stronger and stronger, lighting up Spirit Lanterns one after another.

Moreover, each one was as bright as the great sun and shined upon the universe!

Not only were Sha Liuchan and the others struck dumb, but everyone else was also shocked to the core like they had witnessed a miracle happening in the world.

This was because something similar had never happened in the past!

How strong was Demon God Lin’s spirit power?

Peerless geniuses such as Ji Xingyao, Yu Lingkong and Luo Jia also found it hard to maintain their calm as though they felt pressure bearing down on their hearts.

Unquestionably, they were inferior to Lin Xun on the fourth test!

Lin Xun had left all his competitors trailing behind in his dust!

Soon, another four sun-like Spirit Lanterns were blazing in the sky, all of which were lit by Lin Xun. In total, he had illuminated six Spirit Lanterns.

If word got out, it would no doubt cause another sensation in the world. After all, there had never been a similar situation in the previous Dao Lantern Festival.

However, everyone was baffled to see that Lin Xun still didn’t stop.

In other words, he chose to not accept the spirit inheritance contained in any of the multiple Spirit Lanterns that he had lit.

What was he doing?

……

He was searching.

He was searching for a Spirit Lantern that suited him, but even if he could light up many lanterns, he couldn’t find one that satisfied him.

His spirit power had already reached the highest place in the void, where many cultivators could no longer detect.

However, there wasn’t a single Spirit Lantern. There was nothing apart from darkness.

Lin Xun refused to give up and continued to charge upwards.

Soon, even Ji Xingyao and the others were struggling to sense Lin Xun’s spirit power; it was too far away.

“He very likely has formed the soul of the primordial spirit, otherwise, it would be impossible to reach such a high void...”

It dawned on many peerless geniuses that Lin Xun had cultivated his spirit power to an incredible height. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to form the soul of the primordial spirit!

It was almost impossible to cultivate that at the Cyclic Derivation Stage, and it was only seen mostly with Life Death Stage Kings

However, Demon God Lin achieved that!

The spirit was like a lantern that illuminated one’s body. As long as the primordial spirit lived, the spirit lantern would remain forever bright. The strength of one’s spirit power was key to one forging the dao and becoming a king.

Everything pointed to the fact that Lin Xun had the potential to become a king far beyond the ordinary!

Ji Xingyao and Yu Lingkong dared not treat Lin Xun as nothing anymore.

Higher and higher…

Lin Xun suddenly felt unprecedented exhaustion. He knew that this height was the limit of his spirit power.

He glanced around and saw nothing but pitch-black. Even so, there was a death-like atmosphere crushing his heart.

“It seems like there are none…” Lin Xun uttered helplessly. “Perhaps Midday Sun is already the highest-grade spirit lantern.”

However, just as Lin Xun was about to turn around, a question struck him.

The darkness is like a cage covering the sky, isn’t this a kind of light?

The Spirit Lanterns were all shining with infinity light like dazzling suns, but they can never completely dispel the light of darkness!

With this thought, Lin Xun no longer tried to search for Spirit Lantern but observed the night sky with the soul of the primordial spirit.

After an unknown period, the soul of the primordial spirit quivered, detecting a very vague and almost imperceptible ancient aura.

His guess was correct!

Instantly, the soul of the primordial spirit mobilized all its power to search the ancient and silent aura.

Vaguely, Lin Xun felt as if he was surrounded by endless darkness while an ancient and oppressive aura filled the air.

It was as deep as night and as still and empty as darkness.

At this moment, Lin Xun spotted a Spirit Lantern that was only the size of an infant’s palm. Its body was entirely black like a lantern of darkness that had integrated with night.

The all-encompassing darkness generated feelings of despair, hopelessness and depression.

But the lantern was different. It was too unique and instead had an air of magnificence and grandness.

That’s it!

After his long search, Lin Xun strongly felt for the first time that his spirit power needed a lantern of darkness that bloomed the light of eternal night!

Swoosh!

His soul of primordial spirit leapt into the Lantern of Darkness.

As soon as the soul of the primordial spirit stepped inside, an incomparably ancient and powerful aura burst forth like a tsunami, drowning it completely.

At the same time, the darkness that shrouded the world rippled and wave after wave of obscure energy spread across the void, swaying the lit Spirit Lanterns hanging in the void.

The swaying lanterns and light pouring down made the dark night look more and more deep, empty and still...
