Brother Gluten Lord?
Who the f*ck is your brother?!
Would brothers use each other as cannon fodder?
Never would the Gluten Lord have thought that it would become An Lin’s first experimental subject… If it had known that this would happen, it would’ve have pretended not to know anything!
It glared at An Lin with a dark expression. It was clearly unhappy with the role it had been assigned.
An Lin immediately offered words of consolation. “Brother Gluten Lord, didn’t you say that you had an undying body! A task like this would be ideal for you!”
The Gluten Lord’s body trembled with rage upon hearing this.
F*ck off! What kind of brotherhood was this?!
“Moo! I think that makes sense,” Ao Niu expressed its agreement.
“I think so too, ribbit!” the Divine Poison Frog chimed in a loud voice.
The Gluten Lord immediately flared up with rage at the frog. “Shut the f*ck up, you traitorous scum!”
The Divine Poison Frog sighed internally. It had no choice but to agree as the next experimental subject in line would most likely be itself!
Xu Xiaolan also expressed her agreement.
After a democratic vote, it was decided that the Gluten Lord would lead the way.
“This is the voice of the people, Brother Gluten Lord.” An Lin patted the Gluten Lord’s round body to find that it was a little soft and sticky.
The Gluten Lord briefly entertained the idea of fleeing the scene using its cloning mystic technique.
However, it immediately relinquished this bold idea upon seeing An Lin’s stern expression as well as the dazzling, yet fearsome Dragon Sparrow Sword in Xu Xiaolan’s hand.
After all, from a theoretical perspective, its hypothesis was quite likely to be correct…
“Alright then, I’ll do it!” The Gluten Lord was ready to take a risk.
If it could safely arrive on the floating continent, it would gain a headstart over An Lin and the others, thereby increasing its chances of finding the Kirin Blood Jade first!
Thus, a stone pillar rose from the ground, carrying An Lin and everyone else toward the floating continent in the sky.
“Alright, stop there!” the Gluten Lord suddenly said.
They had already determined that this distance away from the floating continent seemed to be the closest they could get without being afflicted by the power of the restrictive barrier.
An Lin’s eyes turned snowy white as he looked up toward the floating continent, but he was unable to find any signs of spell formations.
“It looks like it really is one with heaven and earth. I feel like it is imbued with the powers of laws as well. There’s simply no way around it.” He heaved a light, forlorn sigh.
This was the first time his Divine Inspection Technique had encountered a barrier it was incapable of breaking through.
This continent wasn’t very big; it only spanned about a few kilometers or so, which was equivalent to the size of a normal city. There were many mushroom-shaped buildings on the continent, the largest of which stood at the center of the continent and exuded a scintillating red light, which lit up the entire continent.
“Go on, Brother Gluten Lord,” An Lin instructed.
The Gluten Lord’s face convulsed upon hearing this. It was extremely reluctant to do so, but it had no choice but to take the risk… Perhaps it would be able to get a headstart over everyone else.
It took a deep breath, and its white body squirmed violently as its aura climbed!
Two seconds, one kilometer.
This wasn’t a difficult task. It would just have to unleash its full speed.
“Hmph! Divine Poison Frog, I’m going to kill you if I come out of this alive!” The Gluten Lord shot a glance at the Divine Poison Frog.
The frog hid behind its grandpa as it cowered in fear. It was hoping that the Gluten Lord would succeed, but it was also praying for its failure. This was an extremely conflicted mental state.
Boom!
The Gluten Lord instantly broke through the sound barrier before transforming into a streak of white light that hurtled toward the floating continent!
Its speed was extremely impressive, and it landed on the floating continent in just over a second.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Ao Niu, and the Divine Poison Frog all stared with bated breath at the Gluten Lord.
This was the moment of truth!
A second later, the Gluten Lord did a little jig as it chortled with glee. “Haha, I’m fine! I’ve succeeded!”
It then turned its eyes toward the red light at the center of the floating continent, and its expression lit up with eagerness. This was the best opportunity to leave everyone behind and secure the Kirin Blood Jade!
Boom!
The Gluten Lord charged toward the largest mushroom at the center of the continent!
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s expressions shifted upon seeing this, but before they had a chance to do anything, an indescribably powerful force descended upon the Gluten Lord.
The red light enshrouding the entire continent suddenly transformed into a series of thin beams of light with extremely concentrated power. The countless beams of light formed a dense energy net that flashed through the Gluten Lord’s body!
The power of the restrictive barrier had been activated, but it took three seconds instead of two!
The terrifying energy fluctuations gave even An Lin and Xiaolan a sense of fear.
The Gluten Lord’s heartwrenching cry of agony erupted, “Ah…!”
The red energy beams were like the sharpest blades in the world, and they instantly tore through the Gluten Lord’s body, shredding it into countless pieces.
That attack had clearly broken through the Gluten Lord’s undying body and destroyed the core of its existence. This indicated that there was no enemy that was invincible and unkillable. If an enemy like that existed, then it could only be taken as a sign of one’s own weakness.
“So scary… Ribbit!” The Divine Poison Frog was paralyzed with fear.
“That power was materialized from the red light around the continent?” An Lin was also given quite a fright.
“Most likely so. To think that it could instantly transform from harmless light to highly-concentrated beams of energy… I don’t think I could’ve survived that attack…” Xu Xiaolan’s features were also a little pale.
Both of them had fear lingering in their hearts as they had almost followed in the Gluten Lord’s footsteps.
After the Gluten Lord’s body was sliced into countless pieces, it was no longer able to fuse them back together, and its life force quickly receded. But that wasn’t the end of it…
In the sky above.
The circular constellation of nine stars suddenly flashed in unison.
White star power suddenly fell from the sky before instantly piercing through space and crashing onto the Gluten Lord’s body with the boundless might of heaven and earth!
Boom!
Energy exploded before brutally ravaging the Gluten Lord’s body again!
The Gluten Lord’s bloodcurdling cries resounded through the air.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both heaved a sharp intake of breath.
Life forms on the red floating continent were still considered to be in the air and would be struck by the power of the Oppressive Stars!
This was a very important piece of information that they had to take note of!
The two of them turned toward the Gluten Lord again to find that it was well and truly dead…
Thus, an undying soul beast at the pinnacle of the Soul Formation Stage fell in such a brutally tragic manner.
“Sigh… The Gluten Lord’s sacrifice will not be forgotten. Let’s observe a minute of silence.” A disconsolate expression appeared on An Lin’s face.
Xu Xiaolan, Ao Niu, and the Divine Poison Frog fell silent.
Xu Xiaolan was the most compassionate among them, and she actually observed a full minute of silence.
The Divine Poison Frog was already looking around for a chance to return home.
“So the Gluten Lord’s idea didn’t work. Not only could it not alleviate the problem with the restrictive barrier, but even the power of the Oppressive Stars is a big problem. Do you guys have any ideas?” An Lin asked.
Xu Xiaolan’s brows furrowed in deep thought. “The power of the Oppressive Stars is easy to eliminate as we can just create a bridge leading straight toward the ground. The most troublesome problem is still that restrictive barrier.”
“Moo, I have a safe idea,” Ao Niu suddenly volunteered.
“Oh? What is it?” An Lin turned to Ao Niu.
“Let’s get out of here. It’s too dangerous,” Ao Niu replied.
The traveling frog echoed in a loud voice, “I agree! Home is the safest place, ribbit!”
An Lin: “…”
