CHAPTER 497: CHAPTER 390: DESTROYING THE WORLD

Looking at Hu Chang’s smug expression, Lu Lin’s anger grew even stronger.

Those controlled by Hu Chang were humans just like him, among whom there might even be his relatives or friends, or people he knew.

But these people, who hadn’t realized the value of their lives, were used by Hu Chang as resources for his cultivation, helping him quickly increase his cultivation.

Lu Lin couldn’t control his anger no matter what.

Now, he just wanted to destroy.

Not only did he want to destroy the Soul Control King, but he also wanted to destroy this entire Cricket World.

The peaceful and harmonious world in front of him was actually built on the bodies of every ordinary person and martial artist in the Human Federation.

Kill!

The soul power absorbed from Hu Chang through the master-servant contract wasn’t fast enough, so Lu Lin summoned his One-Eyed Demon Knife.

This time, he intended to completely destroy this terrifying world.

"Master."

"Lu Lin, what are you doing?"

"If this continues, I will die."

When Hu Chang felt that half of his soul power had been depleted, he finally couldn’t endure it anymore; he stopped calling Lu Lin "Master" and directly addressed him by name.

If not for the soul power within him still being useful to Lu Lin, Lu Lin would have used the master-servant contract to erase him from this world long ago.

"You broke your promise; you said you would make me your servant."

"In the end, you actually want to kill me."

"Lu Lin, if I die, you won’t fare well either. This world is closely connected to me; if I die, you won’t be able to escape."

Lu Lin turned a deaf ear to his words.

In this world, there wasn’t a place Lu Lin couldn’t escape from.

Absorb, absorb.

Soon.

Lu Lin felt that the spiritual strength he absorbed had reached a bottleneck.

If measured in numbers, the Black and White Golden Beads in his Consciousness Universe contained as much as 200,000 units of spiritual strength.

After a Titled King’s promotion, their spiritual strength would be at least 1,000.

If they practiced for a while, it wouldn’t be a problem for their spiritual strength to reach 1,500-2,000.

If someone had a talent for cultivating spiritual strength, like the King of Desperate, Cha Yuan, Lu Lin estimated that even though his cultivation wasn’t high, his spiritual strength would exceed 5,000.

Previously, in the Battlefield Secret Realm, Lu Lin had compared the mental strength of Star Core Period and Star Universe Phase powerhouses.

The average spiritual strength of a Star Core Period powerhouse should be at least 2,000.

If they had the talent, it might reach 10,000 or even higher.

For the Star Universe Phase, spiritual strength should start at 5,000, and it wouldn’t be surprising if an exceptional person reached 50,000.

When facing Sun Xiaorui in the Star Battle Realm, Lu Lin couldn’t sense the upper limit of her mental power, otherwise he wouldn’t have just guided Star Skills to the sprint class students and not to Sun Xiaorui.

The truth was that his ability wasn’t up to standard. When he entered the Battlefield Secret Realm, Lu Lin had just achieved a spirit series breakthrough to the title of King, with a mental power level of barely 10,000. Though it increased later, he was completely unable to guide Star Skills for Sun Xiaorui.

Originally, Lu Lin thought that when his spiritual strength reached 20,000 or 50,000, he might hit a bottleneck and break through to the next level.

He never expected that after enduring so long, he would only see a bottleneck when his spiritual strength reached 200,000.

In the Consciousness Universe, the Black and White Golden Beads spun rapidly.

The black undertones and the white cloud-like things floating above it had become completely indistinct.

The entire Black and White Golden Bead turned into a mass of gray mist.

Lu Lin knew that this time, he was about to level up.

However, his hands didn’t stop moving.

He continued to rapidly absorb Hu Chang’s soul power.

Each promotion requires not just reaching a bottleneck; more spiritual power must be filled in to create enough pressure and momentum to transition the Black and White Golden Beads from quantity to quality, thus achieving a breakthrough.

"Lu Lin, you’re insane!"

"I’m already your servant, with my life and death in your hands, why do you still want to kill me?"

"I beg you, Lu Lin, Master, I was wrong, from now on I’ll change according to your instructions."

"I’m begging you to spare me this time."

In front of him, Hu Chang was kneeling, crying and pleading, but Lu Lin remained unmoved.

After begging for a long time, seeing Lu Lin’s cold demeanor, the Soul Control King was furious.

Since that’s the case.

Lu Lin, don’t blame me then.

A person’s capacity for spiritual strength has its limits.

Just because the bottle is capped doesn’t mean it can’t be shattered from too much water.

Hu Chang didn’t believe Lu Lin could endlessly absorb his spiritual strength.

If you want to absorb it, I’ll let you absorb to your heart’s content.

"Soul Clan World, assist me."

Suddenly, Hu Chang stood up, raising his arms high, emitting an invisible wave that spread throughout the entire Cricket World.

This wave, wherever it went, life disappeared.

The sky turned gray.

Clouds turned gray.

The trees and flowers quickly withered, rotted, turned to ash, and disappeared.

The little animals running on the ground fell one by one, lifeless, their fur, scale armor, organs, bones all absorbed, turning into dust scattered silently on the ground.

The once peaceful and harmonious Cricket World suddenly entered an apocalypse-like state.

Those who were just working, laughing, walking, and talking now lay fallen like the deceased animals and plants, terror filling their eyes as they hit the ground, their skin vanishing.

Bone, vanishing.

Flesh, vanishing.

In a blink of an eye, a living person completely disappeared from this world, leaving only a pile of unrecognizable powder on the ground.

Simultaneously.

Hu Chang’s aura began to swell rapidly, increasing.

With over half of his soul power absorbed, leaving around 40,000, it began to grow against all odds.

50,000, 55,000, 60,000.

The speed of growth was fast, but under Lu Lin’s absorption, it seemed slower.

In about ten minutes, Hu Chang’s soul power returned to its previous state, 100,000.

Now, his biggest concern wasn’t to make Lu Lin overload.

With Lu Lin’s current absorption speed, Hu Chang feared his resources wouldn’t be enough, and even after destroying the entire Cricket World, it might not be enough for Lu Lin to absorb.

He wanted to annul the master-servant contract.

But he was obviously overthinking it.

The master-servant contract, inherited for tens of thousands of years by the Alien Race, wasn’t something a Star Dust Realm Soul Control King could handle.

He contemplated for a long time but couldn’t figure out how to dissolve the contract.

Meanwhile, a look of uncontrollable happiness appeared on Lu Lin’s face.
