True Solution of the Sword Dao

"It’s been a long time," Griffin’s voice emanated from the armor. "You still haven’t given up? It’s useless, True Force and demonic power can only exist as one."

Lin Fei watched him, a flash of wariness in his eyes. Whether now or in the past, he had never fully discerned the depth of Griffin’s strength. He didn’t answer the other’s question.

"It is said that there is another level below the Divine Level, within the Temple of the Gods, apart from the Divine Level, there is this world’s only S-level. Lord Griffin, have you reached that stage?"

"The man known as the closest to God?" Griffin laughed harshly. "Perhaps there will be an opportunity. One of us is destined to receive that title. Ordinary A-level is meaningless to you and me now. Isn’t it?"

Lin Fei smiled faintly.

"And there are the three legendary powerhouses of the Magic side, they’re also S-level, right?"

"Those S-level who can only mobilize low-level energy to release Forbidden Curses? To ordinary A-level, they might be S-level, but to us, low-level energy attacks are meaningless. Yan Fei, the Supreme Demon Palace has been found. The glory of our Monster Clan is about to commence; join me in creating this perfect era... We are the only two Demon Kings left in this world. No one can stop our power!!"

Lin Fei fell silent. Then he said, "Without finding the Demon God Armor, without our own Demon God, we are unable to confront the gods."

Griffin was not pleading for the first time, and he was not surprised by Lin Fei’s refusal.

"Soon... I will ascend to become the original master of the Demon Clan’s Demon God. At that moment, it will be time for my Demon Clan to emerge from the Demon Realm!!" Griffin’s deep voice slowly echoed through the cave.

His figure gradually disappeared into the column of light.

Lin Fei silently watched him leave.

He was unclear how many forces were under Griffin’s command, but just by the proportion of powerhouses under his command, he could sense the terrifying extent of Griffin’s strength.

So far, five Demon Kings, also known as A-level powerhouses according to Earth, had emerged among Lin Fei’s own subordinates, although they were all at the Initial Stage of A-level, they possessed the Combat Power of mid-stage A-level Psychics.

Although the emergence of Demon King-level powerhouses was simply a matter of probability and extremely rare, considering the tens of billions of Monster Clan members in the Demon Realm, Griffin undoubtedly had more A-level Demon Kings under his command than Lin Fei.

Some time ago, Lin Fei had thought about closing Elisa’s Gate and monopolizing the resources of the entire Demon Realm, but regrettably, after several probes, Ning Que solemnly told him that Griffin and the Black Flame Demon Lord had fused together, and the Black Flame Demon Lord had been merged with the Gate to the Demon Realm for far too long, also possessing a certain level of control over the gate. The strength of Griffin’s incarnation and the Black Flame Demon Lord were not something he and Lin Fei could contend with.

After several hesitations, Lin Fei ultimately did not choose to turn against Griffin.

And the other three golden council members also gained a lot of benefits in the Demon Realm. The Night King and Roga each had major breakthroughs. Since helping them hunt down the live materials they needed from the Inner World’s Meng Feila cave a month ago, it was said that both subsequently developed exceptionally strong trump cards.

As for Lin Fei himself, the enormous extent of demonic power he was infused with had even demonized his body significantly; the strength of True Force and True Qi were completely squeezed into the core of the Energy Core, utterly immobile. The demonic power in his body turned into a substantial liquid, flowing slowly. Now, it was no longer appropriate to judge him by simple levels; in terms of actual Combat Power, he might be far behind Griffin, even by a significant margin, but for a typical A-level Peak Psychic, he was no longer a great challenge.

In the same vein, he was also advancing towards the proximity of a God. This was the consequence of absolute power converging. Both he and Griffin’s bodies were condensed with countless extremely strong demonic powers.

If converted into actual firepower, the power within them was enough to surpass any powerhouse in the world. Aside from the Divine Level, no one could match them.

If Lin Fei were to fully unleash his demonic power, it would be equivalent to the detonation of dozens of multimillion-ton nuclear bombs in a cubic meter space. The overwhelming force generated would be enough to completely destroy Earth’s ecological climate balance, shatter the planet’s crust, and trigger an apocalyptic catastrophe.

Such strength had far exceeded the normal standard of an A-level powerhouse.

And Griffin’s demonic power was estimated to be only stronger, not weaker. After all, Griffin was originally more powerful than Lin Fei in terms of absolute strength.

Before entering the Demon Realm, he was already the Successor to the Demon King, his own strength also at the Peak of A-level. After entering the Demon Realm, he fully assimilated with demonic power, completely transforming into the body of the original master. The demonic power in his body must have reached a terrifying level.

Lin Fei stared for a long time at the spot where Griffin had vanished.

He knew Griffin’s ambition very well.

The Dream Eaters of the Outer World all have Monster Clan blood, so they can be demonized, which the two of them have already experimented with in the Demon Realm. Dream Eaters, after demonization, have more robust power and bloodline strength than the average Monster Clan member.

Griffin’s goal is to completely demonize all the Dream Eaters and then, based on this, restore the glory of the ancient Monster Clan.

"But now it’s different from before..." Lin Fei murmured, turning around to slowly walk away, his body suddenly turning into Golden Sands and dissipating.

Above the Monster Clan, there is still the supreme Divine Level bearing down.

*******************

New Zealand, Auckland, early morning

In this largest city of New Zealand, beside the harbor.

On the deep blue waters, dotted with white yachts and boats, some stationary, some moving. Waves of sea breeze carried the briny smell.

Lin You stood on a white concrete platform by the seaside. European-style cottages stood behind him.

"So beautiful..." Lin You covered his wind-blown hair with his hands, serenely watching the blue waters of the harbor in front of him.

Listening to the occasional honking of ships’ horns in his ears. And completely indiscernible New Zealand-accented English...

Lin You felt as if his mind had become much purer as well.

"Hey! Yila, are you sure the seal is right here?" She sent a telepathic message inwardly.

Yila was the name of the soul in the pendant she had taken with her. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Of course. My soul’s perception has always pointed to this city. This is the only time we’ve gotten such a strong reaction after searching so many places. It’s definitely here!"

Yila’s gender had always been a mystery. Lin You had asked several times but still couldn’t figure out whether Yila was female or male. Yila’s voice could mimic any gender and age, making it impossible to tell from that alone.

"We’ve been playing around here for so many days, how much longer do we have to wait? Although it’s beautiful here, we didn’t come just to play," Lin You said with rare seriousness.

"Wait a few more days, the time isn’t right yet," the pendant Yila said casually, "By the way, how is the progress of your abilities?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Lin You’s face immediately fell.

"I’m still far from leveling up... It was hard enough to have a hope of reaching D rank without amplification, but I’m stuck at that crucial point. I still need to comprehend momentum?! What is that even? I completely don’t understand it!"

"This is a key point in the transition from a mortal. No one else can help you; the only one who can is yourself. If you can’t break through this, even if you are the Child of Prophecy, you will be overwhelmed by the influx of Seal Power when the time comes," Yila said patiently, "Have you tried all the methods I gave you?"

"I tried, but I have no idea what momentum is at all!" Lin You said helplessly.

Yila was speechless. They had dealt with fools before but never one so foolish. Even the simplest of people, as long as they had the slightest talent, could grasp the initial applications of momentum. If she couldn’t even comprehend momentum, could the Child of Prophecy truly be a completely incompetent mediocrity by nature?

A series of thoughts flashed through Yila’s mind. Ultimately, Yila offered words of comfort.

"Maybe you just haven’t had your breakthrough yet. Once you do, you should be fine."

"Really?" Lin You said doubtfully.

"Yes."

"So that’s it, huh? I was wondering why I couldn’t grasp that thing at all." She seemed to find a reason that completely convinced herself. She clapped her hands together.

"Alright, let’s head back then. You don’t understand the language here either, and it would be troublesome if we got lost," Yila said, not having the heart to crush her spirits any further.

"Okay."

Lin You turned and stepped onto the concrete platform, then patted her jeans, walking relaxedly in the direction of the hotel where Feil and the others were staying.

Not far away in a European-style cottage. In front of a second-floor window, a middle-aged man with many freckles on his face watched Lin You’s departing figure and took out his mobile phone, dialing a number efficiently.

"It’s confirmed, the target is in Auckland. The Land of Seals is likely here. They’ve been staying here for four days," he reported succinctly.

A low female voice came through on the other end of the phone.

"Continue monitoring them, noting their movements and routes."

"Understood."

"Once the operation is over, your administrative rank will be automatically elevated by one level," the woman stated flatly.

A flash of joy crossed the man’s face. An elevation of one administrative level meant he would be able to get some stock dividends from some subsidiary companies of the organization and be eligible to compete for some management positions. Then, the resources at his disposal would be even greater.

"Seize the opportunity, and there might even be a senator coming over in person."

"Good!!" Excitement sparkled in the man’s eyes.

***************

The sunlight was blazing and dazzling.

In the golden desert.

The endless Sand Sea stretched to the horizon, where nothing but gold met the eye. In the middle of the Sand Sea, a huge yellow stone hand emerged lonely from the sands, reaching towards the sky.

Lin Fei stood quietly in front of the stone hand, as if waiting for something.

The scorching heat continuously rose from the sandy ground, but it cooled down instantly as it approached the area near Lin Fei.

A small black scorpion emerged from the sands, dashing aimlessly around, until it rushed within five meters of Lin Fei. It suddenly stiffened, and a thin layer of ice spread rapidly across its body.

The scorpion was instantly frozen into an ice lump, fixed on the sandy ground. Around it, there were already many small ice blocks sealing the same species.

Lin Fei, wearing a plain white robe, had hair that had turned to salt and pepper.

"It’s about to start. The impending chaos..."

He suddenly murmured lightly. According to the secrets of the Holy Spirit’s Blood, unlocking the Land of Seals would lead to tremendous unknown changes, and everything depended on the very moment it truly opened.
