Chapter 40: Divine Artifacts Unleashed! These Are All Gifts from My Beloved Qingxue!
"Lin, it’s over. Our grudges will end with this final strike!"
In the Thousand Threads Killing Formation, the mechanical threads surged with a murderous intent, aiming to pierce Lin Tianming's body into a sieve full of holes.
The mechanical doll's silver-white blade also swung down forcefully, delivering a fatal blow.
At the moment when Lin Tianming's fall seemed inevitable, a tear slipped from Alice's eye as memories of her previous life with Lin Tianming flashed in her mind.
[Finally, it’s over... I should be happy. With this life, ascending to godhood should no longer be hindered by my inner demons...]
[Why... why do I still feel such a deep pain in my heart?]
[Hmm? Why do I suddenly feel so cold! Hiss... what is happening?]
Under Alice's incredulous gaze, Lin Tianming, who had been trapped and unable to transform his spiritual energy, suddenly erupted with bone-chilling cold air.
Following this, ice-blue wings sprouted from Lin Tianming's back, wings imbued with a powerful and indescribable force of extreme ice.
[This is... a divine artifact? Why didn’t I see Lin wield such an ice attribute god-level weapon in our past life?]
[This is bad! He’s going to use the artifact to escape!]
What happened next was even more unbelievable to Alice.
Under the power of the Dawn Wings, Lin Tianming's body rapidly transformed into an ice-blue butterfly.
Lin Tianming's tall figure morphed into an ice-blue butterfly, creating numerous vulnerabilities in the previously dense threads that could have turned him into a sieve.
In the form of an ice-blue butterfly, he swiftly escaped Alice's Thousand Threads Killing Formation and evaded the doll’s large blade.
Regrouping his true form not far away, Lin Tianming, who had narrowly escaped, teased Alice intentionally.
"It seems your formation isn't all that impressive after all!"
"Don’t be arrogant! Don’t think you can beat me just because you have a divine artifact!"
Clearly irritated by Lin Tianming's words, Alice expanded the mechanical threads of her formation towards him once again.
It can still expand?
Seeing this, Lin Tianming grew serious once more.
[Since you can turn into a butterfly, I’ll create a formation that even a butterfly can’t escape. I’ll stop you from using that skill to turn into a spirit form. Let’s see how you escape then!]
[A mere artifact, even as a former god, I don’t put it in my eyes!]
As Lin Tianming sensed Alice's thoughts and saw the ever-expanding Thousand Threads Killing Formation, he noticed that the mechanical threads were dense enough to pierce even the smallest butterfly.
However, Lin Tianming wasn’t one to give up easily.
"Wall of Thunder!"
A massive wall of lightning descended from the sky like a thunderous waterfall, forming a protective barrier.
He thought the lightning wall would buy him some time, but he greatly underestimated Alice's power.
The mechanical doll's eyes flashed red, releasing a blood-red beam that hit his lightning wall.
At the same time, under Alice's control, the mechanical doll swung its silver-white blade at the lightning wall.
The rapidly expanding mechanical threads cooperated with the doll's attack, quickly dismantling Lin Tianming's lightning wall.
Seeing the dire situation, Lin Tianming once again utilized the power of the Dawn Wings, transforming into an ice-blue butterfly.
However, he hadn’t escaped far before the even faster expanding mechanical threads ensnared him.
Deep within Alice’s now even denser Thousand Threads Killing Formation, Lin Tianming in his butterfly form felt real pain.
[To hold out this long against me, reborn in another world, you should be proud, Lin!]
[Let’s end our entanglement spanning two lives!]
Alice instantly activated all the mechanical threads in her formation, aiming them at Lin Tianming's ice-blue butterfly form.
With the mechanical doll’s blade assisting, this was Alice's strongest killing move at this stage.
Just as Alice thought she had victory in hand, another twist occurred.
Terrifying thunder energy emanated from Lin Tianming’s ice-blue butterfly, expanding outward and dismantling all the mechanical threads in the formation.
Next, Lin Tianming reformed his true form. Despite being injured by the Thousand Threads Killing Formation, he held a spear imbued with thunder energy, comparable to the Dawn Wings, and aimed it at the mechanical doll.
[Another divine artifact I never saw Lin use in our past life!]
[How does he have two divine artifacts in this life?]
The thunder-infused spear, the Thunder Dragon Spear, released a thunder dragon that roared and surged at the mechanical doll, causing it to spark all over.
“So…so powerful! Damn it… my mechanical doll can't withstand such thunder energy right now!”
[But as long as I avoid letting the doll touch that thunder spear’s energy, I’ll be fine!]
Despite the doll sparking all over, Alice remained confident in her victory over Lin Tianming.
But what happened next left her stunned again.
A vast ocean-like water energy erupted around Lin Tianming, and another divine artifact, emitting deep-sea power, appeared before him.
“Three… three divine artifacts?”
This third divine artifact, called the Soul of the Deep Sea, was also acquired by Lin Tianming and Qingxue in the Lost Land.
Immediately utilizing the power of the Soul of the Deep Sea, Lin Tianming trapped Alice’s mechanical doll in a water sphere filled with deep-sea energy.
Already sparking from the thunder, the doll was further bound by the deep-sea energy, rendering it completely paralyzed. The silver-white blade fell from its hands.
No matter how Alice called to her doll, it couldn’t move an inch inside the water sphere.
[If I had leveled up a bit more, even thunder and water wouldn't stop my doll from fighting!]
[Damn… I came to the Mechanical Realm early to avoid Lin, but encountered such a twist!]
Having dealt with Alice’s mechanical doll, Lin Tianming listened to her inner thoughts and walked towards her with a smile.
Seeing Lin Tianming approaching, Alice gritted her teeth. “Don’t think you’ve won just yet!”
"Thousand Threads Killing Formation!"
Almost simultaneously with Alice’s activation of the formation, Lin Tianming released the thunder dragon from his Thunder Dragon Spear, shattering it.
At the same time, Lin Tianming unleashed the power of his final divine artifact, the Star Key.
A beautiful starry key floated in front of him, releasing brilliant and powerful star energy that surged towards Alice, who had her formation shattered.
Boom!
Under the final strike of the Star Key, Alice, having exhausted all her means, was defeated by Lin Tianming. She staggered back and fell heavily to the ground.
[If I’d known he had so many divine artifacts, I’d have secured the ones in the Mechanical Realm first…]
[With those artifacts, and my former godly powers… I wouldn’t have lost!]
Seeing Lin Tianming approach her victoriously, Alice used her last bit of strength to ask, her voice full of unwillingness.
“Where… where did you get so many divine artifacts?”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but feel grateful to his beloved Qingxue.
“They’re all gifts from my beloved Qingxue!”
[Qing… Qingxue?]
Before Alice, whose consciousness was fading, could figure out who Qingxue was, she lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Thus, Alice became the second reborn individual to seek out Lin Tianming for past-life grudges and be defeated.
