Cosmic Trading System-Chapter 1341 - 1041 Showcasing Hidden Strength

Chapter 1341: Chapter 1041: Showcasing Hidden Strength Chapter 1341: Chapter 1041: Showcasing Hidden Strength “It’s not the same, it’s not the same…” Nantian Stone just shook his head, continuously saying so, but he couldn’t articulate how it was different.

“Kill!” On the other side, Lin Yun didn’t say anything more, and coldly gave the command.

A solemn killing intent instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, piercing the hearts of every enemy present.

The twelve zodiac beasts in the distance all had a slight change in expression. Had this young man’s strength become even stronger?

The next moment, it was as if reality confirmed their feelings. A terrifying onslaught of attacks quickly oppressed them, its power far exceeding the previous clashes they had with him.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!…”

The twelve zodiac beasts, one by one, exploded into pieces. Even two higher-ranking Divine Realm beasts had their vitality completely vanished after the explosion, resulting in the fall of two more zodiac beasts.

“Buzz!”

On the other side, the Blood Prison Sword in Lin Yun’s hand was vibrating intensely, emitting dazzling bloody light. It was then that a surge of blood-red power covered the twelve zodiac beasts. The force that had slain those two beasts originated from Lin Yun wielding the Blood Prison Sword.

At that moment, the Blood Prison Sword was quickly refining all the power of the two fallen zodiac beasts, and both Lin Yun and the sword’s aura surged rapidly during this process.

“What?”

“Two more have fallen!”

“This is bad!”

The remaining zodiac beasts, upon witnessing this scene, cried out in shock.

How long had this battle been underway? Four of their twelve zodiac beasts had already perished!

Even though the four that had fallen were only of the higher Divine Realm, with the eight of them together, those four higher Divine Realm beasts weren’t so easily slain!

Moreover, they the twelve zodiac beasts had also used a battle formation when fighting, not to mention their innate complementary powers and various divine techniques that strengthened them when united, making their combined force even more powerful!

Now, with four of them gone, the remaining eight’s strength was greatly diminished. Its significance far surpassed the four higher Divine Realm comrades they had lost!

At this rate, it won’t be long before someone among the remaining eight might also fall!

Thinking so, the remaining eight zodiac beasts all tensed up, readying themselves with all their might.

“Buzz—Rumble—”

Meanwhile, many new formations emerged, continuously blocking the Blue Lotus God Monarch’s attempts at disrupting the array, while also enveloping him in the center to prevent his escape.

“This is… has there always been a guard against me? It seems His Highness the Crown Prince has been suspicious of me… Even coming to my rescue! His Highness truly lives up to the imperial lineage, always wary of his subjects while demanding our loyalty. How can you, with such attitudes… rightfully deserve our utter loyalty?

His Majesty appeared to trust me greatly, but if he hadn’t harbored a shred of doubt initially, would he have reassigned me? And how could I have been trapped by the Acquired Divine Race imperial Divine Emperor? That great battle, why did it end so disastrously for us? Speaking of which… I have my responsibilities, but does His Majesty bear none?

I once advised His Majesty not to trust the Acquired Divine Race’s strong too much. Had he heeded my advice, why would our Innate Divine Race have fallen to this plight?

Haha! Hahaha!

Now, all I am doing is trying to save the remaining Innate Divine Race from danger!

Those who brought our Innate Divine Race to this state… it was never me!” the Blue Lotus God Monarch said as he struck out, his expression turning self-mocking. His laughter grew more intense, nearing madness.

“One should not harbor intent to harm others, but one cannot neglect to guard against them. Such simple wisdom, Blue Lotus God Monarch, do you not understand it?

If you don’t understand, why did you doubt the Acquired Divine Race’s strong in the past? If, because of a slight distrust from the Emperor father, you now betray, then isn’t it possible that it was your past distrust that caused the Acquired Divine Race’s strong ones to rebel?

Therefore, the real cause of the Innate Divine Race’s downfall… could it actually be you?

And now, you stand here spouting what sounds like noble words, how ludicrous!” said Lin Yun, looking coldly at the Blue Lotus God Monarch.

These words weren’t about countering the argument, but about clarifying his own heart, even confounding the opponent’s heart. Psychological warfare was also a part of the battle—strength follows resolve, and without resolve, strength falters.

Hence, a great war often requires a cause. Without sufficient reason, one may hesitate to strike, for in great wars, every bit of strength is immensely important. The victor becomes king while the loser becomes the villain; just a slight difference in chances of winning and losing could mean the difference between victory and defeat, heaven and hell.

As the saying goes, a step forward is heaven, a step back is hell.

Once a great war begins, it’s not easily halted, like sailing against the current: to not advance is to fall back. One must keep moving forward until victory is secured, without pause or retreat, or face irrevocable doom.

The same applies, even to a small-scale battle.

“Nantian Stone! You conspired with the Blue Lotus God Monarch to lure me here, into a life-and-death crisis. What should your crime be? Your earlier conversation with the Blue Lotus God Monarch, was it just an act, merely to buy time? If you truly care for the Innate Divine Race and remain loyal to our royal family, you shouldn’t hesitate. Attack the Blue Lotus God Monarch immediately!” Following this, Lin Yun glanced sideways at Nantian Stone and shouted fiercely.
