The Reincarnated Villain Makes The Heroines Tearfully Beg for Forgiveness-Chapter 326:

Lin Yan turned his head to look at Xiao Yan after hearing the words.

Although Xiao Yan, as a prince of the Immortal Empire, had not been favored before, he still had far more knowledge than Lin Yan.

“Is it really possible to obtain these secret techniques permanently?” Lin Yan found it hard to believe.

Even in the Heavenly World, mastering such powerful secret techniques either required deep understanding through personal effort or rigorous cultivation, often involving hardships beyond imagination.

No matter the method, mastering a secret technique like this was never an easy task. And that was just for the Heavenly World’s secret techniques. Now, they were facing secret techniques from another dimension. The difficulty of mastering these techniques was far greater than those of the Heavenly World.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and explained, “I’ve heard that these secret technique crystals also have something called ‘Eternal Secret Technique Crystals.’ These eternal crystals can be used infinitely. Once you obtain one, you can permanently gain a specific secret technique from another dimension. Of course, these Eternal Secret Technique Crystals are among the most valuable items in the dimensional battlefield. Finding one depends entirely on luck.”

“Eternal Secret Technique Crystals?” Lin Yan muttered to himself.

Immediately, he took out his Life Editor notebook and used the power of the Law of Destiny to input the term “Eternal Secret Technique Crystal” into it. He wanted to see if he could find any clues related to the Eternal Crystal through the Life Editor.

Unfortunately, even with the notebook, Lin Yan couldn’t find any information related to the Eternal Secret Technique Crystals.

“Lin Yan, the Eternal Secret Technique Crystal is something that can only be encountered by chance. It’s better for us to keep hunting other strong beings from different dimensions.” Xiao Yan, who had been watching Lin Yan’s frustration, advised with a bitter smile.

Even though Lin Yan possessed a treasure related to destiny, Xiao Yan didn’t believe he could find a true Eternal Secret Technique Crystal. This was because even the Immortal Empire, which had been to the dimensional battlefield countless times, had never found a real Eternal Crystal.

Whoosh!

The wind howled.

Several days later, at a location in the dimensional battlefield, Lin Yan and Xiao Yan were rushing forward at high speed in a particular direction. Behind them, a massive dark cloud, like a curtain blotting out the sky, was chasing them relentlessly.

The terrifying force of the cloud was so overwhelming that Xiao Yan’s face turned pale with just one glance back.

“Damn it, how is this thing so fast?”

Following closely behind Lin Yan, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but mutter under his breath. The dark cloud behind them belonged to a powerful being from another dimension known as the Wood Crane Sovereign.

After Lin Yan and Xiao Yan each obtained a secret technique crystal, they hunted and killed several other dimensional cultivators. But after countless victories, they finally encountered an enemy too tough to handle.

Yesterday, they had once again set a trap for a dimensional cultivator, who turned out to be none other than the Wood Crane Sovereign now chasing them.

At first, they caught him off guard and almost killed him. But to their surprise, the Wood Crane Sovereign had multiple forms. As he was about to fall, his body quickly transformed from a human shape into a strange animal form. This change not only restored his full strength but made him even more powerful than before.

Lin Yan and Xiao Yan used all their might to suppress him again, but something unexpected happened. On the verge of death, the Wood Crane Sovereign transformed once more. His monstrous form dissolved into nothingness, as though he had become the purest force of nature, controlling boundless laws of power that surged toward Lin Yan and Xiao Yan like an unstoppable tide.

After only a brief clash, the two immediately turned and fled. They could no longer continue the fight. Not only had the Wood Crane Sovereign’s strength far surpassed theirs, but he had already shown three different forms. No one knew if he would reveal a fourth form. If he could, even if their strength doubled, they might still not be a match for him.

Thus, Lin Yan and Xiao Yan, realizing their bad luck, had no choice but to run.

However, what left them speechless was that the Wood Crane Sovereign, in his third form, was intent on pursuing them and gave them no chance to escape.

“Let’s split up,” Lin Yan suggested after realizing they couldn’t shake him off.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately made a decision. There was only one Wood Crane Sovereign, but there were two of them. If they split up, the Wood Crane Sovereign would only be able to chase one of them, while the other could use the opportunity to set up a trap to help the other escape.

After fighting together for many days, Lin Yan and Xiao Yan had developed this level of understanding without needing much communication. Almost simultaneously, they made the right choice.

Lin Yan abruptly changed direction to the left, while Xiao Yan sprinted to the right, each running in the opposite direction.

However, something completely unexpected happened. The massive dark cloud behind them split into two halves without any hesitation, one chasing after Lin Yan and the other after Xiao Yan.

“He can do that? This is insane,” Xiao Yan muttered in disbelief as he fled, realizing the Wood Crane Sovereign’s third form had even more terrifying abilities than expected.

Unable to shake him off, Xiao Yan finally stopped running.

When the Wood Crane Sovereign was in his full form, both Xiao Yan and Lin Yan combined were no match for him. But now, the one chasing Xiao Yan was only half of the Wood Crane Sovereign’s power. Xiao Yan decided to see just how strong this half could be.

He unleashed his power, causing waves of law energy to surge from his body. His hands glowed, becoming transparent, and were covered in countless tiny secret patterns of law.

Boom!

Xiao Yan’s hands transformed into two giant palms, slamming toward the Wood Crane Sovereign.

From the dark cloud pursuing him, the face of an old man suddenly appeared.

Without any expression, the old man simply opened his mouth and, like biting into an apple, swallowed Xiao Yan’s giant palms whole.

Immediately afterward, thick fog spewed from the old man’s mouth, enveloping Xiao Yan in an instant.

“Not good,” Xiao Yan thought.

As Xiao Yan was enveloped by the dark cloud, he immediately felt all his senses being cut off. It was as if he had been isolated in a completely separate world, and even the forces of the laws he could previously sense had vanished entirely.

Just as he had sensed, the moment he was trapped by Wood Crane Sovereign, the law forces he could once manipulate with ease had become sluggish.

“Six-Armed Secret Art!”

Xiao Yan’s face turned pale, and he dared not hold back any longer. The secret art crystal he carried began to glow, and four new arms suddenly appeared from his body. With the addition of these arms, he barely managed to fend off the attacks from the Wood Crane Sovereign surrounding him.

However, the situation remained dire. The forces of the laws within his body were becoming more and more difficult to control. If it weren’t for the power boost from the secret art crystal, he would have already been killed by Wood Crane Sovereign. Even so, once the crystal’s power was exhausted, the only thing awaiting him would still be death.

This desperate situation left Xiao Yan’s face deathly pale. Normally optimistic, he now truly felt the looming threat of death. That overwhelming sense of despair caused him to panic. The mocking voice of Wood Crane Sovereign constantly echoed around him, adding to the pressure.

Within just a few breaths, Xiao Yan’s consciousness began to blur.

“It’s over,” he thought in despair.

But just at that moment, a glowing figure with a shining mark on his forehead abruptly appeared from the surrounding clouds. It was none other than Lin Yan, who had returned.

Grabbing hold of Xiao Yan, Lin Yan didn’t intend to engage Wood Crane Sovereign directly. Using the unique powers of the third eye secret art, Lin Yan forcibly opened a passage and pulled Xiao Yan along as they dashed out.

At this moment, the dark cloud that had been chasing Lin Yan merged back with the one attacking Xiao Yan, reuniting into one massive cloud. The enraged Wood Crane Sovereign once again charged toward them with overwhelming force.

Holding tightly onto Xiao Yan, Lin Yan continued his frantic escape.

Soon enough, Lin Yan spotted a massive fissure up ahead, like a gaping mouth, emitting an unsettling aura that made one instinctively avoid it.

Lin Yan hesitated briefly but, sensing the fierce Wood Crane Sovereign closing in behind them, he wasted no time. Grasping Xiao Yan, he took a step forward and plunged into the fissure.

Behind them, Wood Crane Sovereign’s form came to a sudden halt. The enormous cloud condensed, slowly transforming into a deformed beast. The beast then shifted once more, taking the form of an old man clad in a Daoist robe.

The old man stared at the passage for a long time, hesitating before letting out a cold snort and turning away. The ominous rift ahead gave off a deep sense of danger, and without the pressure of being pursued, Wood Crane Sovereign had no reason to risk entering it.

Meanwhile, in several other areas of the battlefield, similar occurrences were happening. In one place, several cultivators were locked in combat. Two of them were on the verge of defeat, and just as they were about to fall, a dark hole appeared beneath their feet and swallowed them whole. The remaining cultivators looked at each other in confusion, too cautious to pursue.

Elsewhere, a cultivator who had been exploring the battlefield suddenly vanished, leaving his companions dumbfounded as they searched in vain for his whereabouts.

Such incidents were happening across the battlefield, with cultivators disappearing one after another. In no time, the number of missing cultivators had grown to dozens. But since the battlefield was known for its dangers, no one paid much attention, assuming the missing cultivators had met an unfortunate end.

However, those who had vanished were now gathered in a vast cave glowing with a faint blue light. The cave was immense, so large that its boundaries couldn’t be seen at a glance. But for these mid-level gods, sensing everything within the cave was still possible.

The cave itself was roughly the size of a small world, and at its center lay the most striking feature: a large lake. The lake emitted a soft blue glow, which filled the entire cave with its eerie light.

The lake took up more than half of the cave’s area, and at its center was a small island, just big enough for a few people. Four stone paths connected the island to the shore.

The unusual layout caused all the cultivators to grow cautious. They knew that under normal circumstances, they could easily fly or teleport to any location, including the island. Yet the fact that there were paths leading to it in such a bizarre place made them wary.

If this were anywhere else, these mid-level gods would have already rushed to investigate the island. But here, in the midst of the battlefield, and having been mysteriously transported to this cave, none dared to act rashly.

As they observed the surroundings carefully, more cultivators continued to appear within the cave.

At the edge of the lake, Lin Yan and Xiao Yan stood together. Xiao Yan, still pale, spoke with lingering fear. “Lin Yan, I owe you my life this time. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve surely died at the hands of that Wood Crane Sovereign.”

“We don’t need to be so formal with each other,” Lin Yan replied with a smile, waving it off. But his eyes were already fixed on the island in the center of the lake. The strange setup of the area made it clear that something unusual was at play, especially with the mysterious allure drawing their attention to the island.

Xiao Yan, still shaken, smiled bitterly. “Regardless, I owe you this time.”

Lin Yan shook his head without responding further. Just then, someone else lost their patience. A figure darted forward, flashing toward the island at the center of the lake.
