<h4>Chapter 393: Underground</h4>

    The ruler of the Deste Territory in the 17th Layer of the Abyss, Deste Overlord Jx.


    It was the real one this time.


    Jx came from the Mythological Era and was a terrible existence who had walked the earth alongside the Ancient Gods. He was so powerful that he was above the Heaven Rank.


    Now, the Deste Overlord was unexpectedly in the Line Canyon!


    Even if it wasn’t his real body and only a projection or an Incarnation, it still wasn’t something Lin Yun could contend against.


    Jx’s name had yet to be known in this era, but the famous Deste Overlord of the 17th Layer of the Abyss hadter spread through Noscent.


    Among the Abyss’ Demons, the Deste Overlord was a force to be reckoned with, and numerous Heaven Rank experts fell at his hands.


    The thick aura of sulfur, the aura of the Abyss, spread through the Line Canyon.


    “Rumble!”


    Jx’s foot heavily stomped the soil of the Line Canyon, and the entire world seemed to shiver. Only a rumble could be heard as a huge crack split the ground open. With each step, the crack gradually expanded, creating a ghastly sight.


    Countless plumes of ash-colored withering fire gently floated down from the sky.


    The three powerful magic beasts roared with all their might. It seemed that Deste Overlord Jx’s appearance terrified them. Countless magic beasts fled, trampling the ground of the Line Canyon, making the whole canyon shake.


    Arge, pitch-ck palm swept over to the level 38 magic beast. That regal magic beast was afraid to escape because of the pressure of thatrge palm. It had no room to resist and was grabbed before being ruthlessly smashed against the cliff. A terrifying sound echoed as the powerful magic beast died. The withering fires quietly fell and burnt its soul.


    The level 38 magic beast was nothing more than an ant in front of the Deste Overlord. It only took one hit to explode it.


    Moreover, the other two level 37 magic beasts didn’t manage to escape either. They were firmly held by tworge hands made of ashen mes. They were issuing heart-wrenching cries before their souls were also obliterated.


    The Deste Overlord remained there, motionless, emitting a frightening aura. He suddenly raised his head and his demonic pupils looked at the sky. The sky seemed empty, only a vast sea of blue.


    But everyone knew that a mage was hidden there, Representative Weiss.


    Although Representative Weiss was very powerful and his Wind Elemental Incarnation made it very hard for him to be noticed, he was facing the Deste Overlord, an extremely powerful Demon that went through the Mythological era. He could see through Weiss’ trick with one nce.


    “Shit!”


    Weiss and everyone else were shocked by the Deste Overlord. They felt an extremely dangerous aura as the Deste Overlord emerged from a cliff. Weiss was startled when these two demonic eyes fell onto him. They felt like they were exuding powerful magic, able to pierce through his thoughts. In front of these eyes, no secrets could be kept.


    Weiss was anxious as he cursed. He’d just witnessed the power of the Deste Overlord when it obliterated the three magic beasts without them being able to even resist.


    In front of this power, he had no choice but to run, and the further the better.


    Fortunately for Weiss, he was proficient in the Wind Element’s Law. Few people couldpare to him in terms ofprehension of the Wind Element Law in all of Noscent.


    Weiss had already turned into a gale the instant the Deste Overlord looked at him, crossing a distance of a kilometer in an instant.


    But, the Deste Overlord wasn’t slow. Weiss’ peak speed wasn’t anything too great in front of the Deste Overlord. In a sh, withered mes spread through the sky and chased Weiss faster than gales!


    “Shit!” Weiss cursed.


    ‘This is bad...’


    The Deste Overlord wasn’t an existence Weiss could contend against, and moreover, that withering fire was the Ash-Gray me from the 17th Layer of the Abyss. Weiss’ soul would burn to ashes if he was touched by it. He would never dare to fight the Deste Overlord in the open. In such a terrifying situation, the Representative of the ck Tower tripled his speed. By managing such an impossible feat, he was able to keep a safe distance between him and the mes.


    But...


    After barely managing to escape from danger, Weiss looked at the ground.


    There, he saw Snying on the ground, as well as the young mage not far from there.


    A young mage at the High Mage Realm that could contend with him. He would be extremely dangerous if allowed to grow.


    Thinking about this, Weiss raised his hand and cast a handful of Wind sts.


    Of everyone present, Lin Yun was the closest to the Deste Overlord and the Wind sts exploded next to him. He hadn’t expected that old geezer to y such a hand!


    “Fuck!”


    Lin Yun swore. He had no fewer than ten defensive spells enchanted on his body, so although the five Wind sts were powerful, they still couldn’t wound him. But Lin Yun knew that Weiss’ true goal was to blow him towards the Deste Overlord.


    ‘Shit, that’s Jx... someone that can crush me in an instant! If that old geezer seeds, I’ll be crushed to pieces...’


    Unfortunately, there was no time to dodge.


    The five Wind sts exploded almost at the same time. The huge shockwave spread out and carried an irresistible force.


    Lin Yun wasn’t able to stop himself from flying through the air towards Jx.


    At this time, Lin Yun was inwardly cursing Weiss’ eighteen generations of ancestors.


    ‘This bastard...’


    Fortunately, Lin Yun reacted quickly and cast a Fire Elemental Incarnation the moment his body flew out, followed by a me sh to avoid flying into a falling withering me. He ended upnding in an area a hundred meters away from the Deste Overlord.


    “Heavens...” The mercenaries who witnessed this eximed in surprise. In their eyes, this was no different from courting death.


    Being a hundred meters away from an existence like the Deste Overlord was no different from being right in front of him.


    But as if he didn’t know that he was moving toward danger, Lin Yun cast Haste after that me sh, increasing the speed at which he rushed towards death...


    Because only Lin Yun had seen it.


    There was a deep crack in a ce a hundred meters away from the Deste Overlord. That was the crack that appeared when the Deste Overlord stomped the ground.


    However, a faint light could be seen shining from that crack.


    He felt that there was apletely different world under the crack!


    Lin Yun even felt a faint mana fluctuation being emitted from the crack.


    Lin Yun knew that this was his only choice. The situation would take a sharp turn for the worse if he remained on that battlefield. Those three monstrous magic beasts were all killed in one hit, so what about him?


    Moreover, Lin Yun had noticed that the Deste Overlord had been targeting the strongest people first. First he went after that level 38 magic beast, then the other two level 37 magic beasts, before going for Weiss.


    Lin Yun might have been the next target after Weiss.


    Thus, he took the initiative to leave the battlefield at such a time by entering the huge crack.


    Suddenly, a whistling sound echoed near his ear. That crack was so deep that he couldn’t see the bottom. His body remained falling for over ten seconds.


    It felt as if he had jumped down from the top of a cliff.


    Lin Yun had a bad feeling. He tried to use Levitation to bnce himself and see if there was any danger at the bottom. If there wasn’t, it would be perfect, and if there was, he would be able to make preparations... But when he cast the spell, he clearly felt the surrounding mana being so chaotic that it greatly affected the spell, only slowing down his speed.


    After an entire ten minutes...


    An explosion could be heard.


    Lin Yun’s body fell heavily. It felt as if he had been hit in the chest by a hammer.


    If Levitation hadn’t been slowing his rate of descent, if he didn’t have those dozen enchantments covering his body, he might have fallen to his death.


    Fortunately, he could feel that he was on even ground, and it looked like there was nothing dangerous around. He moved with some difficulty as a sharp pain coursed through his body, making him frown. He fished out a few potions from his pocket and drank them all. After resting for a dozen minutes, the pain gradually eased up and he managed to force himself up. But his entire body still felt broken, and even just breathing hurt.


    He flipped through his pocket and arge number of potions were taken out. He looked at all of them one by one, but discovered with disappointment that he hadn’t crafted any Rebirth Potions. The injuries he was suffering from were very serious this time. An ordinary Health Potion would be useless, and the potions he had just drunk only restored superficial wounds...
