The Reincarnated Villain Makes The Heroines Tearfully Beg for Forgiveness-Chapter 328:

Every intermediate Heavenly God Realm expert possessed an immense amount of energy.

Just like the Source World before, at most it could only nurture an ordinary cultivator. Forget about intermediate Heavenly God Realm experts;it couldn’t even nurture a lower Heavenly God Realm expert.

The fundamental reason was that a small Source World couldn’t provide such massive energy, let alone the powerful laws that an intermediate Heavenly God Realm expert.

If all the energy from an intermediate Heavenly God Realm expert were transferred to the Lingxuan Continent, the area of the continent would expand hundreds of times and even give birth to thousands of immortals.

But now, the situation was different.

The number of intermediate Heavenly God Realm experts who have fallen here has already surpassed two or three.

So many intermediate Heavenly God Realm experts have perished in the lake, yet the lake’s waters seem eerily calm.

“Three-Eye Secret Art.” Lin Yan’s expression turned grave, and suddenly, an eye appeared on his forehead.

Seeing Lin Yan use the Three-Eye Secret Art again, Xiao Yan, standing nearby, said in confusion, “Lin Yan, this is your last chance to use the Three-Eye Secret Art.”

“Hmm,” Lin Yan nodded slightly.

A crystal of secret art could at most allow a cultivator to use the art three to five times. Lin Yan had already used the Three-Eye Secret Art once during the previous battle.

Later, to rescue Xiao Yan from the hands of the Wood Crane Lord, Lin Yan used it again.

Now, this was the third time.

After this use, the crystal of secret art that Lin Yan obtained will be completely depleted.

Even Xiao Yan thought Lin Yan was wasting it by doing this at the moment.

But Lin Yan didn’t care.

Although this crystal of secret art could temporarily boost their strength, Lin Yan always felt uncomfortable with this kind of power.

Since it wasn’t something he had cultivated personally, Lin Yan worried that he might become too dependent on it.

That’s why he was quick to use it all up in such a short time, especially now.

With the help of the Three-Eye Secret Art, Lin Yan could clearly see the waters of the lake beneath his feet.

The water seemed alive, with veins of different colors crisscrossing throughout.

Terrifying power flowed through these veins, but ultimately, all the power gathered at the Eternal Secret Crystal on the island in the center of the lake.

“That Eternal Secret Crystal is alive?”

What Lin Yan observed shocked him.

From what Lin Yan could see, he could vaguely deduce that the entire lake beneath his feet was actually a unique living creature.

The Eternal Secret Crystal was the true core of this being.

This strange life form used the Eternal Secret Crystal as bait, luring nearby cultivators to fall into the lake.

Once they fell in, this strange creature would devour everything about them.

Even after consuming so many intermediate Heavenly God Realm experts, the creature hadn’t shown any abnormal reactions, nor had its energy increased significantly.

From this alone, it was clear how terrifying this life form was.

“Xiao Yan, let’s get out of here,” Lin Yan called out as he observed the strange behavior of the lake. Without hesitation, he retreated toward the edge of the lake.

The lake seemed more focused on the battling cultivators, ignoring Lin Yan and Xiao Yan. The two easily made it to the edge of the lake.

Xiao Yan looked at the island in the center with some reluctance and asked anxiously, “Lin Yan, what did you discover?”

With a grim face, Lin Yan briefly explained his discovery to Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing that the lake itself was a strange living being, Xiao Yan was taken aback.

Judging from the abilities the lake had displayed, this creature’s strength had probably reached the level of a true Higher Heavenly God Realm expert.

Even the Wood Crane Lord was far inferior to it.

Facing a being of Higher Heavenly God Realm strength, it would be nearly impossible for any intermediate Heavenly God Realm expert to stand a chance.

This was why the lake had been able to devour so many intermediate Heavenly God Realm experts so effortlessly.

“Lin Yan, what should we do? Should we just leave?” Xiao Yan asked in a low, worried tone.

Although the Eternal Secret Crystal on the island was highly tempting, Lin Yan and Xiao Yan now had to think about how to survive.

Escaping from under the watchful eye of a Higher Heavenly God Realm expert was no easy task.

“Let’s see if we can leave. If we can, we’ll escape immediately,” Lin Yan replied quietly.

Earlier, many cultivators had tried to leave but failed.

Lin Yan and Xiao Yan examined the area around them and quickly became disheartened.

Though the surrounding walls looked like ordinary rock, they contained a unique power.

If Lin Yan and Xiao Yan tried to force their way out, they would certainly draw the attention of the lake creature.

“Let’s stop thinking and just try to leave.”

After inspecting the cave walls for a moment, Lin Yan made up his mind. Now wasn’t the time for hesitation.

He and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, and both unleashed powerful law-based attacks on the cave walls.

Their unusual behavior soon attracted the attention of other cultivators.

But those cultivators only glanced at them briefly and didn’t care.

They were too focused on the Eternal Secret Crystal, eager to claim it.

As long as no one stepped onto the reef road leading to the island, they didn’t see anyone as a threat.

In their eyes, Lin Yan and Xiao Yan were just cowards, too scared to fight for the crystal and trying to flee instead.

But just as Lin Yan and Xiao Yan attacked the cave walls, an unexpected scene unfolded.

The power they unleashed hit the walls with a crisp thud, as if striking a drum.

And with that sound, rumbling echoed from the walls.

Something was wrong—not only were they trying to break out. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lin Yan and Xiao Yan immediately sensed an abnormality.

The strange energy fluctuations weren’t just coming from their own attacks.

As they looked around in confusion, cracks suddenly began to form on the walls of the cave.

In just a few moments, the cracks spread, resembling the shattered surface of fine porcelain.

Even the cultivators in the middle of the lake, fighting over the Eternal Secret Crystal, noticed something was wrong.

“What’s going on?”

“Is someone else trying to take the crystal?”

With this thought, the cultivators fighting for the crystal grew even more desperate.

They had been here first and already considered the crystal theirs.

If someone else took it, they would never accept it.

What worried them more was that the energy fluctuations they sensed from outside felt as strong as theirs.

If a few more powerful cultivators arrived, it was uncertain who would end up with the crystal.

With this in mind, the fighting on the reef road became even more intense.

At this moment, the surrounding walls suddenly couldn’t withstand the pressure anymore and exploded.

Beams of light shot in from outside, exposing the cave completely.

To the shock of the cultivators inside, countless figures—at least a thousand—appeared outside.

The collapse of the cave was caused by the combined attack of these thousands of cultivators.

“This is the force of the Immortal Empire of my Paradise Realm.”

“The Changsheng Family is here too.”

“The Night Clan cultivators are also among them.”

“And there’s a major power from the Warden Plane.”

The sudden appearance of so many cultivators stunned those fighting for the crystal.

There were more and more figures appearing above them, already numbering in the thousands.

Only the most elite forces from the various planes could gather so many intermediate Heavenly God Realm experts.

With these top-tier forces present, the cultivators fighting for the Eternal Secret Crystal were too terrified to move.

Even if they managed to get the crystal, there was no way they could escape.

As the forces from the different planes broke through the cave walls and entered, the lake below suddenly erupted into chaos.

The boundless lake suddenly surged, and in an instant, it engulfed all the cultivators who were still trying to seize the Eternal Arcane Crystal.

This terrifying scene made Xiao Yan’s scalp tingle. He couldn’t help but say to Lin Yan, “Lin Yan, it’s a good thing you noticed something was off here, or the two of us might have become this thing’s snack by now.”

But Lin Yan wasn’t paying attention to Xiao Yan’s words. Instead, he looked up at the crowd above, his gaze slowly scanning through the people.

Before long, he spotted several familiar figures: Su Qingyi, the eldest daughter of the Su family from the Immortal Clan;Xiao Mei, a princess from the Immortal Empire;and Mu Lingsha from the Night Clan.

Three people Lin Yan was concerned about appeared all at once. Mu Lingsha, noticing him, playfully winked. However, Su Qingyi and Xiao Mei both had cold, indifferent expressions, as if they had no connection to Lin Yan at all.

Staring at their familiar faces for a long time, Lin Yan finally sighed in resignation. Based on their reactions, he could tell that bringing back the Su Qingyi and Xiao Mei he once knew would likely be much harder than reviving Mu Lingsha’s soul fragment.

As Lin Yan was scanning the crowd, the lake beneath him began to stir again.

The lake water suddenly surged upward, forming large masses that condensed into figures. These figures, made entirely of water, moved like real cultivators, attacking those above.

Even Lin Yan and Xiao Yan were each faced with two water-formed attackers.

In that instant, the cultivators from the various great factions who had broken through the walls were the first to be surrounded by this lake entity’s assault. Though they had the advantage in numbers, they now seemed to be the minority against the endless water avatars the lake entity produced.

In just moments, chaos erupted everywhere. Tens of thousands of figures became entangled in fierce battle.

If the previous battle on the lake had been chaotic, what was happening now was an absolute frenzy.

Over ten thousand intermediate Heavenly God Realm experts fighting at once—such a scene would be rare no matter where it took place.

But this chaos didn’t last long. Soon, cold, commanding voices echoed from the sky.

“Immortal Clan cultivators, follow me to strike down the enemy.”

This was Su Qingyi’s voice.

As she spoke, a small jade-white tower suddenly appeared above her. Beams of light shot out like whips, linking all the Immortal Clan cultivators around her together.

The energy from the hundreds of Immortal Clan cultivators merged into one. The powerful aura they emitted caused the water avatars surrounding them to shatter with cracking sounds, turning back into bluish lake water.

It wasn’t just the Immortal Clan—cultivators from the Night Clan, the Immortal Empire, and other factions from various realms also began to gather, pooling their power to attack the lake creature.

Although the water avatars produced by the lake creature were incredibly strong, they couldn’t stand up to the combined strength of the various factions.

One after another, the water avatars were smashed apart, turning into rain that fell back into the lake.

Within moments, the vast lake below had lost more than half of its water. The remaining water continued to churn, splitting into more avatars that kept attacking the cultivators above.

This relentless assault forced the great factions to stay focused, continually warding off the attacks.

Pop!

Lin Yan obliterated a water avatar in front of him, shattering it into countless droplets. Then, he swiftly moved to Xiao Yan’s side.

Xiao Yan had suffered severe damage to his vitality and was struggling to defeat the water avatar before him. Instead, the avatar was suppressing him.

Lin Yan helped Xiao Yan shatter the water avatar. Then, without hesitation, the two dashed towards the edge.

Now that the walls around them were gone, they quickly escaped the range of the lake’s influence.

Meanwhile, the cultivators from the great factions were fully focused on the battle, paying no attention to Lin Yan and Xiao Yan slipping away.

Only Su Qingyi and Xiao Mei glanced in their direction, but neither of them made any move. Instead, they continued directing their forces to attack the lake creature.
