Chapter 115: The Reward—A Single Strike of "Divine Severance"!

After the Demon King finished speaking, a "bang" echoed as the blood-red glow spread across the Demon King's Orb.

By this time, it no longer focused on anything else and instead began preparing to flee.

It was afraid!

The proud Demon King was utterly terrified!

But how could Lin Yi possibly let it escape?

Laughing heartily, Lin Yi looked at the Demon King and the hazy consciousness of the fragmented barrier's small space and said:

"Don't run, don't be afraid. I just want to bully you a bit; I won't kill you all at once. Come on, bring them all to me."

The "Great Void Scripture" continuously activated within Lin Yi's body.

He feared nothing!

Lin Yi was so close to the hazy consciousness of the fragmented barrier's small space and the Demon King that if he allowed them to attack from a distance, he would be doomed.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi's hand touched the blood-red glow of the Demon King's Orb, then he reached upwards and made contact again.

In an instant, Lin Yi seized the Demon King's Orb.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle."

The Demon King's blood demon was not very clever. Originally, the Demon King should have stayed silent and fled quickly to avoid trouble. But it didn’t.

Instead, it did not reveal its form and shrank inside the Demon King's Orb, which allowed Lin Yi to grasp the orb directly.

Although his arm emitted a sizzling sound, Lin Yi swiftly moved, transporting the Demon King's Orb into the mysterious space of the "Nerve Severing Scripture."

Then, while the hazy consciousness of the fragmented barrier's small space was still confused, Lin Yi extended his hand once more.

Almost instantaneously, Lin Yi moved it into the mysterious space of the "Nerve Severing Scripture" as well.

The next moment, the fragmented barrier's small space began to rumble and roar, unable to withstand any longer, on the verge of complete collapse.

At this moment, only a single pillar of light remained.

This pillar of light appeared completely white.

In the distance, ominous energy clusters rolled in as black smoke, crackling noisily as they collided with the white pillar of light.

But it was useless because the white pillar no longer absorbed anything.

The controlling consciousness of the entire fragmented barrier's small space had vanished, and without any ominous energy nourishing it, the space collapsed completely.

Thunderous roars spread everywhere as boundless ominous energy seemed to bubble over like a boiling pot, seeping upward from the ground.

Above, the fissures grew thicker and wider.

"Ahhh... ahhh... I knew it! You must be the reincarnation of a great power! You definitely are! Ahh... but how could it be? You come from one of the ninety-nine foggy places. You must be from one of the foggy places. You are a great power from one of those places... but how could you be human? I've never heard of any human warriors from there..."

The Demon King roared wildly!

It couldn’t believe what was unfolding before its eyes!

It emitted agonizing screams.

"My body... my body... Demon King, what do you mean he's a reincarnated great power? No, he's human... I understand now. No wonder you said he has a secret realm space. So this is his secret realm space. But how is this secret realm space stronger than mine, how is it even greater than me? This aura... this aura..."

In an instant, even the slow-witted hazy consciousness of the fragmented barrier's small space realized what had truly happened.

---

The young human man before it actually possessed a mysterious space.

And this mysterious space was vastly more magnificent and powerful than the fragmented barrier's small space.

Because the fragmented barrier's small space relied entirely on ominous energy for sustenance, in an instant, its ominous energy was continuously purified.

Meanwhile, the Demon King's demonic aura began to dwindle. The two powerful beings suffered the same fate as Zhao Qilin.

While they babbled, the "Nerve Severing Scripture" emitted dazzling radiance, and in the blink of an eye, the Demon King's Orb reduced to a pile of scrap metal.

Then, with a "plop," it fell to the ground.

Inside the orb was a single drop of blood.

The blood was bright red, devoid of consciousness, merely pure and clear energy.

Lin Yi was somewhat stunned — the plan had failed; he had not reaped the rewards.

Turning his head, Lin Yi noticed Zhao Qilin still had a breath left.

He had overlooked one thing: Zhao Qilin contained human elements, so he could still cling to life.

But the Demon King's Orb was purely the blood spirit of the Demon King, filled with demonic energy and strange power — a pure demon entity. Under the overwhelming and invincible energy of the "Nerve Severing Scripture," it was wiped out in an instant.

Lin Yi hadn't even gotten a finishing blow.

The Demon King's Orb had fully reverted to its energy state.

Lin Yi was dumbfounded because he had failed to benefit.

He had not personally eliminated the Demon King Orb, so he gained nothing.

Since the Demon King was not killed by him, it was considered the "Nerve Severing Scripture" itself that did the killing.

Lin Yi, nearly in tears, rushed to Zhao Qilin.

He found Zhao Qilin was near death.

If he didn’t kill Zhao Qilin now, nothing would be related to him anymore.

Because, in that case, Zhao Qilin would also be considered killed by the "Nerve Severing Scripture."

Lin Yi almost cried — this was not how he had planned it.

With a long face, Lin Yi approached Zhao Qilin, who still drew breath, and picked up the fierce tiger ghost head blade he had just retrieved from outside, chopping down in one strike.

With a "thud," Zhao Qilin’s head fell.

Then Lin Yi wanted to sever the hazy consciousness of the fragmented barrier’s small space as well.

That way, his gains would be significant.

But soon, Lin Yi realized he had overthought it.

He was on the verge of tears.

The "Nerve Severing Scripture" flew over to the stone table, then began flipping pages rapidly with a "clap, clap, clap."

Yet, not long ago, when Lin Yi approached Zhao Qilin, the Demon King blood demon, and the hazy consciousness of the fragmented barrier's small space, the "Nerve Severing Scripture" had not turned a single page. Now, its flipping was vigorous.

While the scripture flipped, the surrounding mysterious space brimmed with black and white energy, resembling thunderclaps and the roaming of countless enormous dragons, forming dense, intricate patterns.

Then the energy began to shimmer, and with a "whiz," the hazy consciousness of the fragmented barrier's small space was completely drawn into the air.

---

That hazy consciousness had originally been just a black pillar of light. Now, drawn into the air, it seemed to merge with the surrounding energy, making it impossible to discern what was happening.

Next, as the "Nerve Severing Scripture" flipped through pages, mysterious and inexplicable auras flowed within it.

A series of radiant hues seemed to make the scripture bloom with dazzling colors.

Finally, with a "whiz," the "Nerve Severing Scripture" flew into the sky.

Countless drifting black and white lights, resembling great dragons, entwined around it.

Lin Yi stared in disbelief, tears welling up but unable to cry.

Then, through this mysterious space, Lin Yi’s consciousness seemed able to glimpse the outside scene.

Outside, waves of ominous energy clusters surged relentlessly toward the "Nerve Severing Scripture."

The scripture appeared to have replaced the white pillar of light that had supported the fragmented barrier’s small space, now controlling the entire fragmented barrier’s small space.

Soon, vast portions of the fragmented barrier’s small space began to be absorbed into the mysterious space of the "Nerve Severing Scripture."

In the blink of an eye, when Lin Yi looked again, there was no longer any fragmented barrier’s small space — only a dark, vast abyss remained.

This abyss resembled a black hole.

But just as it was about to swallow anything, it vanished with a "bang."

Lin Yi then realized the fragmented barrier’s small space was actually hovering above an underground river.

If he exited the mysterious space of the "Nerve Severing Scripture," he would surely fall into the river.

Beside the river was a wide area.

Here was also a larger cave.

This was exactly the place where Lin Yi had earlier sent Bai Ke and his group out.

Above it was a layer of rock wall.

That was the underside of another cave above.

Thus, above the rock wall was the large abyss where he and Zhang Xu had fallen.

The gap between this rock wall and the underground river below was only about five or six meters.

Here, the relationship between big and small was clear.

The fragmented barrier’s small space was self-contained, an independent space.

Its scope was unrelated to physical size because it could exist as a space within a small area without concern for scale.

Therefore, it was vast and boundless internally, though not large in the real world.

"I relied on the mysterious space of the 'Nerve Severing Scripture' to engage demons in close combat invincibly, but the premise is that I don't reap the rewards! Those demons enter the 'Nerve Severing Scripture' and are devoured instantly! They don't even leave me a chance to kill them! I'm crying! If only I had known... why did I even bother!" Lin Yi felt utterly helpless.

At that moment, Lin Yi heard the voice of the "Nerve Severing Scripture."

Or rather, he directly heard it!

The "Nerve Severing Scripture" did not flip any pages, but the voices of countless men and women without books exploded in Lin Yi’s mind:

"Sealed and recorded: second of twenty-four blood spirits of the Demon King blood demon. Sealed and recorded: Zhao Qilin of the Corpse Refining Clan. Sealed and recorded: fragmented barrier’s small space. Reward: one strike from the 'Nerve Severing Scripture.'"

"Note: One strike from the 'Nerve Severing Scripture' — can annihilate a demon of Heavenly Extremity level or below, once!"
