At night, there were still quite a few undead in the ruins.

Moreover, the spiritual essence of these undead was quite good before their death.

For Yang You Rong, they were a great supplement.

However, with Yang You Rong's current realm, even if she devoured all the undead in the ruins, it wouldn't be enough for her to advance. She needed more undead. But undead, although wilderness areas could produce them through water ghosts, corpse kings, and necromancers, cultivating a high-level undead was actually very time-consuming and energy-draining for necromantic monsters.

So, these high-level undead were hard to come by.

After all, it was a setting where ghosts feared humans.

For example, Yang You Rong's strength was comparable to second or third-tier powerhouses, but if she were to single-handedly plot against a second-tier early-stage powerhouse, she would be at a loss unless Lin Chen was there to cooperate.

Some people were just naturally timid.

And the undead were set up to be just as胆小 (dǎn xiǎo – timid).

This was quite in line with traditional ghost theories.

In the beginning, ghosts were caused by the Yin spirit of humans. At first, ghosts feared humans, but later, as legends grew, people feared ghosts because of hearsay.

Ghosts feared Yang energy.

Even more, they feared Sha qi (killing intent)!

And Sha qi was abundant in humans and other races, especially in demon beasts and monsters.

Therefore, Lin Chen was very powerful.

What about Yang You Rong?

The Ghost Emperor wasn't weak either.

But until now, Lin Chen only used Yang You Rong as a valuable treasure to enhance his Sea of Souls, and wouldn't easily let her go out to kill alone.

After all, if things went wrong and she was killed, it would be a great loss.

Re-cultivating a Ghost Emperor would require the Yin spirit of how many living beings!

Interestingly, when Lin Chen returned to the Human Alliance camp, he actually encountered Bran Mader.

He seemed to have regained some sanity, but was still a bit confused. However, upon seeing Lin Chen, he immediately ran away, shouting, "Ah, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

It felt...

This kid was a bit pitiful.

But, as the saying goes, pitiful people must have hateful aspects!

Centaurs weren't human.

Only half-human.

Then they were even less of a thing!

Lin Chen quietly followed, and saw Bran Mader run to the alliance camp of the Great Sun Golden Crow and the Mingwang Peacock. Through the firelight, Lin Chen used his powerful soul perception to observe the situation inside the camp from a great distance.

Soul perception had a coverage range.

This range depended on the size of the Sea of Souls.

Just like the Self-Worlds of gods could overlap, the size of the Sea of Souls and the power of the soul determined the suppression and devouring ability of two Self-Worlds when they clashed.

The big ate the small.

The strong suppressed the weak.

And soul perception was the same.

Same principle...

If Lin Chen's soul perception was far enough, then he could perceive the situation inside the camp. Unless the powerhouses in the camp had a Sea of Souls larger than Lin Chen's, they wouldn't be able to discover him.

This was also why the gods were psychologically shocked when Lin Chen glanced at them...

He was a god!

Lin Chen's Sea of Souls could actually detect his peeping?

How could that be? He was a fourth-tier peak god!

This meant that the size of Lin Chen's Sea of Souls was actually about the same as his.

In fact, that was the case.

Lin Chen's current Sea of Souls was indeed no weaker than a fourth-tier peak.

It was about to break 500,000.

And 500,000 was another threshold!

But...

Lin Chen didn't feel any threshold.

Inside the tent, Yang Yan Ye asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you saw a dead spirit next to this person?"

"Yes, that dead spirit is still a Ghost Emperor... I can be sure that Lin Chen definitely has a big secret!" Bran Mader didn't look insane at all.

He was clearly very sober!

Lin Chen immediately understood...

Damn it!

This kid was acting?

Okay, acting in front of me?

He looked around.

Then, he looked at his skills.

Everything else was fine.

Except the Heavenly Demon Thousand Blade Slash was on cooldown.

At this time, Yang Yan Ye said again, "I've already asked everyone to be careful and alert... Don't spread this matter for the time being. Lin Chen can cut through the divine power of the gods, so we just need to find a way to force him to use that slash."

"How to force him?" Bran Mader asked.

"Hehe, aren't there still a few憨憨 (hān hān – simple-minded) from the Kua Fu clan? Tomorrow, we'll go find Lin Chen and them, and then trick one of them into activating the divine power, and see if Lin Chen will use the slash... Are you sure he only has that one slash, and after he uses it, the sword technique will cool down for five minutes?" Yang Yan Ye asked.

Bran Mader nodded and said, "Yes, five minutes, I've been calculating it."

"Then it's okay. We'll have five minutes to activate the divine power together... However, don't let the Mingwang Peacock clan know about this plan, especially Ming Huang, that woman is very smart. Don't let our hard work end up benefiting her with all of Lin Chen's treasures!"

Yang Yan Ye and Bran Mader were actually plotting against Lin Chen.

Lin Chen found it funny.

So, he smiled contemptuously.

These two overestimating guys really thought they were invincible with the divine power of the gods?

They even didn't want Princess Ming Huang of the Mingwang Peacock clan to know, because they were afraid she would share the spoils... Okay, Lin Chen thought for a while, and a plan formed in his mind.

"Okay, tomorrow at around nine in the morning, just when the Heavenly Demon Thousand Blade Slash's cooldown will be over! Then, I'll give you a surprise! It'll save me from having to find you to kill, and just let you come to me to deliver experience!"

Lin Chen was happy.

His Heavenly Demon Thousand Blade Slash had been used on the cyclops.

It had been used as soon as he entered the ruins.

It was currently on cooldown.

Although the Heavenly Demon Thousand Blade Slash on the God-Demon Ancient Skyfall had a cooldown of 12 hours, the cooldown that had been used before wouldn't change.

There were currently eight hours of cooldown time left, just enough for Lin Chen to go back and get some sleep.

He went back.

Anyway, Yang Yan Ye would lead the team to deliver himself to him, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Even on the way back, Lin Chen was thinking about whether there was a way to make Yang Yan Ye and the others bolder.

For example...

Ming Huang wasn't here.

Then, Lin Chen was surrounded by them alone, or something like that.

How good would that be!

Right?

With Ming Huang not there, no one would be snatching the spoils.

Yang Yan Ye would definitely want to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with Lin Chen!

"That's it. Tomorrow morning, I'll find two nearby stele forests, and then pretend that I'm going to solve the puzzles there alone!"

Lin Chen made up his mind.

As for the Mingwang Peacock clan, Lin Chen didn't think too much about it.

He didn't mind.

Sun Lingming, A Niu, and Delgas, couldn't they handle a few peacocks?

That would be too lame!

He had a good sleep.

When Lin Chen woke up, he began to gather everyone... You all continue to solve the stone tablets together, but leave one person to take turns guarding the realm, and then I'll go to the outer perimeter realm... Remember, no matter what happens, you must stick together, and don't leave this area!

Lin Chen explained.

Then, he went to the nearby stele forest alone.

Lin Chen was calculating the time.

It was only eight o'clock now.

So there was no hurry.

He also solved the puzzles for a while, at least to make it look complete.

At half-past eight, Lin Chen sensed Bran Mader's appearance.

However, he was alone, and he was really sneaky, pretending to be insane and scouting around. Lin Chen intentionally guided him to come...

Lin Chen even intentionally led Bran Mader to the nearby stele forest location.

Then Bran Mader retreated.

At around nine o'clock, Lin Chen's Heavenly Demon Thousand Blade Slash had finished cooling down.

The plan was also as Lin Chen had expected...

The current situation was that the three-race alliance of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan, the Mingwang Peacock clan, and the Kua Fu clan, and the Human Alliance camp led by Lin Chen, basically ruled the entire ruins together.

It had only been two days.

The weaker races now had only the western side left as their living space.

Among them, the Sea Clan, such as the Canglong and Blue Whale elders, were also active on the western side. After all, Lin Chen and the others were there. But this time, the powerhouses of the Sea Clan were only responsible for solving puzzles and getting rewards, and had no intention of participating in the war.

Lin Chen could understand.

There were also some weaker races, such as the Unicorn Emperor and Empress, who could naturally get some rewards under the protection of the Human Race. After all, they had even offered their daughter, allowing Lin Chen to ride her.

In fact, Lin Chen was considered very good.

Look at other places!

Yang Yan Ye and Ming Huang, they didn't solve the puzzles themselves, nor did they allow other races to solve them. They directly cleared them, forcing many weak races to withdraw helplessly, including some Pseudo-God realms.

Under the deterrence of the divine power, these Pseudo-God realms could only accept it.

Withdrawing at least preserved their lives.

Under such circumstances, Yang Yan Ye would naturally suggest directly attacking the west. He had received the information brought back by Bran Mader, and now Bran Mader was almost Yang Yan Ye's lackey...

There was no way, this was also a case of circumstances being stronger than people.

Yang Yan Ye then said to Ming Huang, "Now is a good opportunity. We can lead people to assassinate the isolated Lin Chen. As long as Lin Chen dies, the Human Alliance will surely collapse! But the problem is, there must be a few powerhouses to block the Human Race camp, so that they can't support Lin Chen... Ming Huang, can the three of you do it?"

"Give us two more powerhouses from the Kua Fu clan, and we might be able to give it a try!"

Ming Huang wasn't afraid... In fact, what she was worried about was only Lin Chen.

As for the other powerhouses of the Human Race, who didn't have the divine power of the gods, she wasn't afraid.

What about Lin Chen?

He also didn't have the divine power, but Lin Chen gave her a too wicked feeling.

As long as she didn't have to target Lin Chen, she felt that anything was fine.

So, Yang Yan Ye was very happy.

The plan was successful!

Now, Ming Huang was lured away.

And he was leading two Pseudo-God realm powerhouses from the Great Sun Golden Crow clan, one Pseudo-God realm powerhouse from the Kua Fu clan, and Bran Mader...

Five against one!

Bran Mader was also very powerful.

The Counterattack Aura reflected all damage.

He was simply a meat shield.

But his War Stomp also had good damage!

Yang Yan Ye felt that he was going to succeed.

So he was very happy.

"Then it's settled... Let's go!"

Yang Yan Ye directly led the team to the stele forest where Lin Chen was located.

When entering the stele forest, Yang Yan Ye was still very careful, but when they got inside, they didn't find anyone.

The next moment, a powerhouse from the Great Sun Golden Crow clan next to Yang Yan Ye suddenly spat out blood.

"Yang Xiao Tian!"

Yang Yan Ye exclaimed, "What's wrong with you?"

But Yang Xiao Tian didn't respond at all...

Because his soul had already left his body.

Guess what?

He died!

Moreover, he died without even seeing Lin Chen's face!

"It's that move!"

Bran Mader felt that he was too familiar with this situation.

It had even become his nightmare at night...

His sister.

His lover.

That was how they suddenly vomited blood and died next to him!

The next moment, Lin Chen's soul swallowed Yang Xiao Tian's newly departed soul in one gulp.

"Lin Chen!"

Bran Mader immediately said, "Kill!"

At this time, a hint of smugness appeared in his eyes...

"I expected this move."

Yang Yan Ye even sneered.

Then, on the path where Lin Chen's soul was escaping, a Yang Flame attack came.

It was another powerhouse from the Great Sun Golden Crow!

He was ambushing in the rear.

But...

Lin Chen's soul rushed towards Yang Yan Ye. At the same time that Yang Yan Ye was shocked, it instantly disappeared behind a purple stone tablet, dodging the Yang Flame attack.

"Chase!"

Bran Mader said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that Lin Chen's physical body was hidden behind this stone... We were all fooled. Purple stone tablets can isolate our soul perception!"

Yang Yan Ye's face also changed.

He had overlooked it.

They had indeed overlooked this point.

He had deliberately sacrificed a companion from his own clan because Bran Mader was very familiar with Lin Chen's Death God One Slash, and therefore set this trap. Yang Xiao Tian, who had been instantly killed by Lin Chen's slash, didn't know that Lin Chen had such a killing move...

Because this was what Yang Yan Ye had deliberately planned, and hadn't told him.

Then, when they entered the stele forest, Lin Chen would discover... Huh?

There was still a reckless fool who was coming to kill him, Lin Chen, without any precautions, and with his Sea of Souls wide open?

Then, with Lin Chen's character, he would definitely launch a sneak attack!

Lin Chen had acted.

Then, he was also drawn into the encirclement designed by Yang Yan Ye and Bran Mader.

But at this critical moment, who would have thought that Lin Chen would be so skilled and daring?

He hid his physical body behind the nearest purple stone tablet.

How close was this stone tablet?

In fact, it was right behind Yang Yan Ye!

But Yang Yan Ye, because of his negligence, didn't notice this at all.

When Yang Yan Ye reacted, Lin Chen's soul had already returned to his physical body.

"Lin Chen!"

Yang Yan Ye acted the next moment.

He was a Great Sun Golden Crow.

A descendant of the Yan Emperor!

However, the current Yan Emperor was no longer around.

During the God-Demon War, the Yan Emperor and many other strong gods of the Eastern Fantasy all disappeared without a trace.

But from then on, there was an organization in the universe... the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

This was an organization dedicated to resisting the Temple of Gods.

The Temple of Gods suspected that the Yan Emperor and those strong gods of the Eastern Fantasy were related to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but they had never been able to find any evidence. But for the Great Sun Golden Crow clan, if the Yan Emperor was really a member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, then their entire race would be in danger.

So...

The Great Sun Golden Crow clan had now turned to the Western Fantasy Sun God.

"Sunlight Firmament!"

Yang Yan Ye's attack was the Sun God's inherited killing move, and its power was extremely strong!
