*Hah!*
The black beam stuck Lin Sheng’s at the back of the head with deadly precision, and let out a buzzing sound as if it was burning and corroding Lin Sheng’s flesh and bones.
But at the same time, all of the attacks that landed on Lin Sheng seemed to have frozen in time.
He was suspended in mid-air, and his body was clearly broken to the point of near-death, yet there was still a cold calmness in his eyes.
“That was a very terrifying attack.”Lin Sheng held his hands open. “Unfortunately, even if this was me before I broke through, even if this was ten times stronger, it would have been just that.”
“But, a pity.”
A ma.s.sive multicolored hole appeared behind him.
A round hole that looked like a halo.
“Every Palatinate has an ability that is unique to himself, so let me show you, the ability that is unique to me…”
His body began to lit up in dazzling white light, as countless chaotic souls seemed to be free of restraint as they were instantly transformed into holy power.
And the chaotic souls drawn from the Tidalgate too turned into an explosion of holy power.
“Yudivo! (Unlimited Conversion)”
*Boooom!!*
Countless of rampaging sacred power blasted out of Lin Sheng’s body, forming into a pure white storm as it drowned all of the dragon souls and the barrow within it.
Inside the hall, only the huge sarcophagi at the core area were withstanding the storm, albeit with much difficulty.
Countless of chaotic souls, were bring drawn in by the Soultide with Lin Sheng’s soul as a gateway as they were converted instantly into pure holy power, and blasted out.
The originally uncontrollable chaotic souls were now one with Lin Sheng’s holy power, becoming a highly condensed purification energy as it swept across everything.
All of the dragon souls’ powers were overpowered in an instant.
These dragon souls, including the Sin Dragon Matriarch, were only Palatinate-level at best.
The Palatinate level was the apex that most creatures could reach. The maximum level that all biological beings could reach, is the Palatinate-level.
Even the Sin Dragon Matriarch, which was at most a level weaker than Tenko Kasumi, was still considered to be in the ranks of the Palatinate.
But Lin Sheng, at this moment, the explosive powers he unleashed had broken through this limit by sheer force, reaching another threshold altogether.
Even if this was a temporary ascension using his abilities, it was more than enough to suppress the dragon souls within the Dragon’s Barrow.
*Booom… Booom…*
A few weaker dragon souls were crushed by the violent storm of holy power and were shattered so completely they disintegrated into the air.
A few other stronger ones quickly fell into a state of weakness, and could only resist the holy storm’s erosion of their bodies.
The Sin Dragon Matriarch roared and roared as it let out helpless curses and growls.
But it was to no avail, even her draconic roars were totally repelled and purified by the storm.
In an environment where the holy power had reached maximum concentration, not even sound could be transmitted, because the holy power does not allow it.
So, in the most extreme of holy power environments, there was nothing but silence.
And just as the great dragon souls like Sin Dragon Matriarch could no longer resist, the storm of holy power around Lin Sheng finally weakened and died down.
Even so, the entire Dragon’s Barrow had been turned into a sea of holy power.
The torrent of holy power even liquified, and flooding the entire barrow like water up to ankle-high level.
All impurities and toxins in the air were all purified, leaving only pure and harmless basic gases.
Lin Sheng landed gently on the ground, as his wounded had already healed.
One of the greatest advantages that both holy and dark powers gave him was an extremely powerful regenerative power.
But he was so badly wounded this time that he could only use his holy powers to expel the toxins and foreign energies from his body, and the healing of his flesh wounds was also only roughly done.
For some other more delicate injuries, like the ones to his nerves, he needed to carefully recondition them.
One of the dragon souls attacks was a straight-up removal of materials from a being’s fundamental existence.
And to be struck by this ability meant that the body will a.s.sume that the part is no longer there, and his regenerative powers will be of no help then.
And Lin Sheng was the most worried about this sort of injury.
And most importantly, his ability, while named Unlimited Conversion, was not without a time limit.
This special ability suited him very well, and it was extremely powerful.
But in reality, this powerful ability did not last long at all, just about a minute.
And he can only use it once every three days.
So this was the reason he did not use the ability at the very first moment.
Now that its time was up, the dragon souls actually managed to weather through it, and if they were to recover, he would be screwed.
Seeing so, Lin Sheng quickly came up with a plan.
“Sin Dragon Matriarch.”
He continued to put on a calm facade with power to spare as his gaze fell upon the half-knelt Sin Dragon Matriarch.
“As the price for provoking me, I want you to hand me the power of the Dragon’s Barrow for my use!”
His calm and clear voice echoed around the barrow.
The hearts of the surviving dragon souls sank as they heard that as their gaze all fell upon the Sin Dragon Matriarch.
Their leader was the Sin Dragon Matriarch, who was also the actual master of the Dragon’s Barrow.
Her decision would be the will of all of the dragon souls present.
The Sin Dragon Matriarch’s eyes turned, as she lowered her head while gritting her teeth.
“Even if we were to surrender, do you dare to accept it?” She knew very well if she refused, it would end with the complete destruction of the Dragon’s Barrow and disappearing completely into the deep sea within this Darkspirit Cavern.
They had been hiding everywhere, given up everything, and even sought refuge here, they cannot afford to die here with barely a whimper.
“I trust that, with your wisdom, you should be well aware of what the price of betrayal will be unless you can move out of here completely,” Lin Sheng said calmly.
“Plus, surely you don’t think I’m the only person who knows this place right?” He said with implicit meaning.
The Sin Dragon Matriarch held her hand out to pacify a few dragon souls that were about to roar out in anger, as she stared at Lin Sheng.
“But what guarantee do we have that you will take us in, instead of using us as cannon fodder?”
“That’s your problem.” Lin Sheng spat coldly. “For you all now, there are two choices. Death, or submission to me, and becoming my strength.”
The atmosphere suddenly turned tense.
A few furious dragon souls were about to rush at Lin Sheng, but they were stopped by the Matriarch’s voice, as she said something in a hasty and bizarre tongue, leaving the rest silent as they lowered their heads in helpless fury.
After dealing with that, only did she turned to Lin Sheng.
“Alright, I promise you. That the Dragon’s Barrow submits to you from now on.” she rumbled.
“Then how can I be sure that you are truly submitting to me, and not use trying to pull wool over my eyes?” Lin Sheng asked back.
The Matriarch turned silent.
“Our dragon crystal. Since you have the Monarch Crystal, then we can hand our dragon crystal to you without it being an insult. With the dragon crystal in your hands, if we were to betray you, you can destroy it, and permanently damage our souls. This will work right?”
