"Brother Chen, what are you looking at?"
The heavenly origin force slowly calmed down, and the extreme northern lands gradually returned to their original appearance. Snowflakes began to fall once more, though it would probably take some time for the snow accumulated on the ground to recover to its previous thickness.
Lin Xiao looked toward Chen Haisheng and saw that the other party was staring at him, seemingly wanting to say something.
Chen Haisheng opened his mouth, wanting to reveal the original reason why he had approached Lin Xiao, but after opening his mouth several times, he still didn't know how to bring it up and could only let out a light sigh.
"It's nothing. I was just shocked by Brother Lin's divine might."
"I am but a mortal. How can there be any talk of divine might?" Lin Xiao said as he looked at the Magic Empress's corpse lying on the ice plain, which had already lost its soul. "Being able to defeat her so easily is largely thanks to Brother Chen's ability to keep her on land."
Although the sea restricted the range of human activities, the restriction it imposed on these sea soul beasts was even greater. Once they left the ocean, almost all sea soul beasts' strength would plummet.
Even a sea soul beast like the Magic Empress, who could leave the seawater, was similarly unable to display her full strength on land.
"Brother Lin, although Sea God Island intends to protect the living beings in the sea, we are not pedantic people. Now that this soul beast is dead, her soul bone should rightfully belong to Brother Lin."
Seeing that Lin Xiao was momentarily speechless, Chen Haisheng took a small step forward.
Lin Xiao turned his head back and did not refuse too politely. After all, when dealing with the Magic Empress, he had indeed contributed a great deal.
Moreover, with the Magic Empress's corpse in his hands, it could clearly play a greater role. The corpse of such a top-tier soul beast was also a rare material for making soul tools.
However, compared to these things, Lin Xiao was still pondering other matters in his heart. Whether it was the previous Evil Emperor or the current Magic Empress, they had obviously come into contact with the Abyss Plane.
And this was only the soul beasts he knew about. Other places were probably not spared from contact with the Abyss Plane either. The threat of the Abyss Plane was growing closer by the day.
"Brother Lin."
Chen Haisheng spoke, pulling Lin Xiao back to his senses.
"Brother Lin originally went into the sea for other matters, yet you ended up helping me twice. I have taken this favor to heart. In the future, if you need anything, I will definitely do my utmost."
If it were someone else, a light and airy promise would not hold much value, but the Chen Haisheng before him was a Limit Douluo.
Although he appeared slightly weaker due to consecutively dealing with the Evil Emperor and the Magic Empress, he was still one of the top experts on the Douluo Continent.
Seeing that the threat of the Abyss Plane was getting closer and closer, Lin Xiao did not stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Chen Haisheng finally turned and left.
For him, this period of time had yielded quite a harvest. Two threats to the ocean had been eliminated in succession, and the sea would probably remain peaceful for quite a while.
As for Lin Xiao, he had also achieved the purpose of going out to sea in the first place.
He had originally set out for the fragment of Electrolux's divine sense. Although many unexpected things had happened along the way, fortunately, in the end, he had still obtained the third fragment of Electrolux's divine sense.
He had even broken through to rank 99 by a stroke of good fortune.
Slightly clenching his fist and feeling the power within his body merging with the surrounding heaven and earth, Lin Xiao felt as if he could change the appearance of the land before him with a mere gesture.
Raising his hand felt like touching the boundary of this world.
The word "Limit" was not simply a title. Once one reached rank 99, one had arrived at the limit of the power this world could bear. To move forward from there was far from something that could be achieved merely through cultivation as before.
In Lin Xiao's spiritual sea, Electrolux had already fallen asleep, quietly fusing with the new fragment of divine sense. Lin Xiao stepped forward and approached the Magic Empress's corpse, then let out a light sigh.
Back when he had fused with the second fragment of Electrolux's divine sense and come into contact with that god, Lin Xiao had already known that his path forward was almost completely cut off.
The divine realm of this world was not a place one could enter simply by having cultivation and talent. What was called becoming a god was actually the gods of the divine realm screening all cultivators.
Only those who caught the eye of the lofty gods would have the chance to inherit a divine position and enter the divine realm. Even then, what kind of god one could become and what kind of divine position one could inherit was all decided in a single thought by those gods.
And aside from that, no matter how amazingly talented one was, there was no chance of entering the divine realm.
Lin Xiao had already come into contact with that god and helped that god with things that could not be brought to light. How could that god allow someone who held his leverage to be summoned into the divine realm?
Therefore, ever since then, in Lin Xiao's plans for his future cultivation path, he had never included the option of waiting for the divine realm's summons.
He and Electrolux had many ideas. Now that he had found this third fragment of divine sense, he only hoped it could add a few more chances for the road ahead.
Just as Lin Xiao was deep in thought, the movement of his hand suddenly paused.
He withdrew his right hand, and a soul bone lay quietly in his palm.
Soul beasts of over one hundred thousand years would definitely have a soul bone within their bodies, and the Magic Empress was naturally no exception. Lin Xiao lowered his head to look at the blue-purple soul bone in his hand, and the expression on his face eased considerably.
Although he still could not determine exactly where his path ahead lay, there was finally some good news. The last soul bone he lacked on his body had now been completed.
Although this soul bone had come a bit late and could not bring him an increase in soul power rank, the torso bone was the most important soul bone on a soul master's body. Moreover, with the torso bone, he now had all six bones complete, and his strength could advance another step.
"Cult Master—"
A loud shout came from afar. Lin Xiao turned his head and saw Abomination appearing at the place where the sky met the earth in the distance.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao smiled and waved his hand. Soon, Abomination appeared before him.
"Cult Master, are you alright? I saw the traces beneath that tower earlier…"
"I'm fine. On the other hand, your opponent was so dangerous—you shouldn't have followed up." Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head.
"I was really worried."
"Rest assured. On the current Douluo Continent, there aren't many people left who can be my enemy." Lin Xiao spoke with certainty, but in truth, this was already quite a modest statement from him.
"I need to enter seclusion for a period of time. Notify the disciples in the cult to pay attention to changes in the snow plains. Also, notify the Sun Moon Empire side and tell them… the Abyss Plane has arrived."
Abomination's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. As the strongest soul master in the Tongming Cult besides Lin Xiao, and someone who usually looked after the Eternal Tower, Lin Xiao had not hidden certain matters from him. With those words, Abomination clearly understood the meaning behind them.
"The Abyss Plane… I understand, Cult Master."
"Mm." Lin Xiao let out a light sigh. When mentioning the Abyss Plane, the smile on his face also diminished considerably.
