Chapter Sixty-Seven: Ruthlessly Crushing the Anomalous Creatures of Kaiyuan

Battle was imminent!

Feng Tianlin darted behind the man in the green robe in an instant, splitting himself into a dozen porcelain dolls, and launched a barrage of punches. Before the fists could reach him, the man vanished from where he stood.

“Porcelain doll, you’re a bit slow,” came a contemptuous voice from behind. Without time to think, Feng Tianlin unleashed the Age of Ice and Snow behind him.

As expected, the man in green summoned a torrent of water, crashing down upon him. The water collided with the Age of Ice and Snow, instantly freezing into solid ice.

Feng Tianlin was surprised—a C-class aberrant’s skill could match his own head-on. But before he could ponder further, Long Mengting’s right hand grew enormous, shrouded in black mist, and swept toward him.

“Overestimating yourself!” he scoffed, refusing to dodge, eyes fixed on Feng Tianlin. He wanted a swift victory. Qixuan and Bailangen were stronger than both him and the man in green; he had to finish this battle quickly to assist the man in green.

But as the giant palm struck him, regret flashed in his eyes. A handprint appeared on his back, and he was sent flying several meters. Regaining his footing, he stared in disbelief.

“How can this be?” It was one thing for the porcelain doll’s skill to be abnormal, but how was this little girl’s power so strong?

At that moment, several small bears clung to his legs, instantly unleashing fierce energy.

Boom!

With a thunderous explosion, he was blasted into the air, landing heavily in a pit below.

The pit was coated with viscous liquid; the man in green had just touched it and was immediately trapped. The liquid began devouring his body!

“Disappear, all of you!” he roared. A torrent of water erupted from his body, enveloping him into a floating sphere. Everything the water touched vanished without a trace.

“He’s releasing water that can consume energy—be careful!” Feng Tianlin warned, noticing something odd about the water.

Long Mengting and the explosive bear retreated quickly, knowing they must avoid contact with the water or risk losing their energy.

Just then, the wraith drifted over, surrounded by spinning ghosts. As she floated to the man in green, the ghosts passed through the water sphere, reaching his side.

Instantly, the water sphere collapsed, spilling onto the ground.

“Why?” The man in green, fending off the ghosts, stared at the wraith in frustration and confusion.

His skill could consume energy and heal wounds; he had just used water to heal himself.

By logic, everything has energy—when depleted, it disappears, and ghosts should be no exception.

“These aren’t ordinary ghosts. They’re Breath Technique spirits. Even without energy, they maintain their basic form. Once they reach you, they absorb your vital essence, rendering your skills useless,” the wraith replied, gazing at him as if he were a fool.

Indeed, all living things possess vital energy, and aberrant beings are alive—they have vital energy too.

Truthfully, the wraith was bluffing. Her Breath Technique ghosts were composed entirely of yin energy, devoid of conventional energy, making them immune to the man in green’s water.

The man in green erupted in fury.

“Ah!” he bellowed, his body exuding ever more water, forming a sphere ten times larger than before. Suddenly, the sphere exploded, sending water splashing everywhere.

Undoubtedly, being touched by the water would severely weaken anyone.

Yet Feng Tianlin remained calm, saying coolly, “Age of Ice and Snow.”

In an instant, cold swept through the entire aberrant domain, freezing everything. The water droplets transformed into ice blossoms, and time itself halted.

Yes, the greatest strength of the Age of Ice and Snow—freezing time!

Seeing everything frozen around him, Feng Tianlin smiled. The feeling was exhilarating.

Just as he prepared to finish off the man in green, time resumed.

“What? So short?” Feng Tianlin was stunned; the time freeze was so brief, he couldn’t even strategize.

But—it didn’t matter!

The falling ice blossoms struck the man in green, leaving him dazed.

Then came another slap, sending him flying, followed by another explosion as soon as he landed. As he soared, several ghosts absorbed his vital energy. Barely catching his breath, he was pummeled by a dozen porcelain dolls.

This cycle repeated several times until a green crystal fell from his body.

Feng Tianlin walked to the barely conscious man in green and picked up the crystal from the ground.

He frowned. “What is this thing?”

“Don’t—” Before the man could finish, Long Mengting slapped him away.

Feng Tianlin studied the crystal, its energy making him uneasy. He sensed it would restrict something within him.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. He immediately stopped the group of sea creatures who were still attacking. “Stop!”

Though reluctant, they halted.

Feng Tianlin teleported to the man in green’s side. “Slap yourself.”

The man in green began slapping his own face furiously.

Now Feng Tianlin understood: They could resist his commands because of the green crystal.

But what exactly was this crystal?

He was about to question the man in green when a violent explosion tore him apart.

Feng Tianlin’s first suspicion fell on the explosive bear, glaring angrily at the small creature, who looked back innocently.

“It wasn’t me. The bomb detonated inside him, and its energy is nothing like mine.”

A bomb inside the body? Clearly, it was self-destruction.

No doubt, this was the work of that so-called Evil King and Venom Queen. Ruthless indeed, to command their own followers to self-destruct.

Turning to Qixuan’s side, he saw the man in green manipulating fire, battling a colossal demon dragon and a nine-tailed fox.

“Leave one alive!” Feng Tianlin shouted.

Qixuan and Bailangen received the order. They had been watching Feng Tianlin’s fight, ready to assist, so hadn’t fought earnestly.

Now that his battle was over, they knew theirs couldn’t drag on any longer, and brought out their true strength.

Bailangen transformed into his true form—a massive demon dragon. He opened his jaws, gathering countless energies, which coalesced into a ball of violet flame that he spewed at the man in green.

The man in green didn’t flinch, summoning crimson flames to meet it head-on.

The two flames collided, and within moments, the crimson flame began to falter.

While the man in green was fully focused on controlling the flames, Qixuan had already slipped behind him.

Her nine tails swayed, piercing into his body, unleashing torrents of energy.

The man in green knew his end was near. He forced himself free, but black flames consumed one of his arms.

Everyone refrained from attacking further, fearing he might self-destruct like the other.

The man in green stood there, left with only one arm and nine bloody holes in his body, and yet he smiled at Feng Tianlin and his companions.

“Hahaha, you—thieves! You’ve stolen the domain of demons and monsters belonging to Lord Evil King and Venom Queen!”

He prepared to self-destruct, but Feng Tianlin commanded, “Don’t move!”

The man in green froze in place, motionless.

Meanwhile, Qixuan proudly tossed a green gemstone with her tail, a mischievous smile on her face.
