Hearing the legend of the Evil King, Lin Luo understood that there is always a stronger master among the strong. To kill eight Walkers consecutively with one man's strength, becoming the undisputed strongest King of the World through absolute invincibility—this was a power that struck awe. Regardless of his character or methods, he was undeniably the foremost among the Walkers.

Hearing the legend of the Dark King, Lin Luo grasped the possibility of the slow bird taking flight first. Through a transformation of mind and body, moving from the weakest to the strongest was but a single step, a chasm between heaven and earth. Whether in decline or glory, he consistently upheld his principles; his spirit and will had become unbreakable. This was a shock to the soul.

These were truly formidable enemies! Compared to those he had faced before, even those who had cornered him to the brink of death, leaving him unable to counterattack—they didn't even warrant carrying the shoes of the Dark King or the Evil King! Only individuals like them could be called Kings of the World, only they deserved the title of God's Proxy!

Indeed, Lin Luo felt deeply inadequate. In terms of raw power, he couldn't match the Evil King; in spirit, he couldn't match the Dark King. Among the three Kings of the World, he was undeniably the weakest. But... shame breeds courage, and recognizing weakness fuels the desire for strength. Falling behind is not frightening; what is terrifying is the lack of resolve to take the next step.

So fortunate! Lin Luo felt he was incredibly lucky to have heard their stories before encountering the Dark King and the Evil King. With this mental preparation, he had already received the greatest encouragement. What did being behind matter? As long as he could catch up!

Lend me a fearless heart, that I may strive for supremacy in this world!

Everything that needed to be known had been learned; from this moment on, Lin Luo had truly embarked upon the path of the Divine War—forward, without hesitation or fear!

As his gaze fixed on the four figures rapidly approaching in the distance, Lin Luo felt his blood beginning to boil. His fingers trembled uncontrollably with excitement. Never before had Lin Luo craved battle so intensely, nor had he ever been so unable to contain his exhilaration over an impending fight.

"Ah, this feeling is actually quite good too."

Lin Luo flashed a toothy grin. Before the four figures could close the distance, he spoke without turning back, "The opposition is impatient to pick a fight with us. You all rest for a while; I will handle these four."

Although Huang Quan and Kagura didn't understand the source of Lin Luo's drastic change, they instinctively nodded. Even from afar, they could sense the hostile intensity of the four figures, and with their current stamina, they likely stood no chance.

Arthur also frowned slightly. He noticed that the four flying toward them, while not Walkers, were terrifyingly strong—all having reached the intermediate Spirit Rank. With his current ability, he couldn't fight them. A subtle worry flickered in his heart, though it was overshadowed by excitement... because Lin Luo had not yet used his full strength. Perhaps now he could glimpse the true power of a King of the World, an immensely valuable insight for him.

The three immediately retreated to the edge of the rooftop, leaving ample space for Lin Luo to fight. While the rooftop wasn't vast, it spanned over a hundred square meters, enough for a five-person engagement. However, Lin Luo couldn't fly, while the four were airborne. Would they agree to fight on level ground?

The answer, of course, was impossible.

This was not a competition but a life-or-death battle; only an idiot would surrender such a crucial aerial advantage.

Upon closing in, the four dispersed without a word, positioning themselves at the four cardinal points to surround the rooftop. Two immediately lunged at Lin Luo, while the other two attacked Huang Quan, Kagura, and Arthur.

"I decided from the start that I would be the one to annihilate the four of you!" Lin Luo scoffed. Completely ignoring the two targeting him, his figure flickered, vanishing from his original spot. In an instant, he reappeared behind the one attacking Huang Quan and Kagura, hovering in the void, and launched a punch—the Phantom Charge.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, the target was struck in the back. He immediately exploded, but instead of gore, he dissipated like smoke spreading in all directions.

"I see." Just from that first contact, Lin Luo knew the nature of these four beings. Ignoring the dissipating smoke, he executed consecutive Void Blinks, appearing instantly before the one attacking Arthur, kicking toward his head.

The latter's head promptly burst like smoke, yet he did not die; even headless, his hand continued its attack toward Lin Luo.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three electronic wires shot out, instantly shattering the hand—it was Atomic Decay.

"You three, find somewhere safe to hide!" Lin Luo shouted loudly, then vanished from mid-air, immediately engaging the other two figures charging him.

Although he couldn't fly due to not having created his own Rules, he possessed Mana and Qi, powered by ancient magic. His Blink allowed his speed to approach instantaneous movement, and Void Blink enabled continuous jumps in the air. In aerial combat, he was not at a disadvantage.

On the contrary, thanks to his inexhaustible source power, his Void Blinks were almost limitless, and the extreme speed of his impacts translated into even greater offensive power.

Lin Luo temporarily annihilated the two figures, while holding off the remaining two. Upon hearing his command, Huang Quan and the others jumped off the rooftop without hesitation. A flash of blade light followed, instantly shattering a window pane below, allowing the three to safely enter the floor.

The rooftop had no access point connected to the floors below, so there were no living dead upstairs. But the interior floors were different. This was originally an office building, housing many staff members who, after being affected by malignant spirits, had turned into the living dead and remained there. Upon spotting three living humans entering, they immediately roared and charged.

"Seeking your own death!" Huang Quan coldly snorted. Before even rising, her tachi flashed out like lightning. Under the assault of that blade light, swift and brilliant as electricity, the charging living dead were instantly severed into several pieces.

Though their current stamina might make dealing with high-level powerhouses challenging, managing these lowest-tier living dead was effortless. Even if Youming were immensely powerful, he couldn't possess the strength to transform millions of living dead across the entire city into beings of the Spirit Rank.

While the three slaughtered the living dead pouring up from below within the floor, Lin Luo kept the four intermediate Spirit Rank enemies occupied on the rooftop, denying them any chance of breaking into the building.

The state of existence for these four was highly unusual: entirely shrouded in blackness, hazy and illusory, obscuring their true forms. However, under Lin Luo's Eye of Truth, nothing could hide; their appearances were like Rakshasas from the underworld, utterly devoid of life essence, entwined only with the power of death—they were not living beings!

The two figures Lin Luo had shattered moments before now saw their scattered black mist re-coalesce, quickly restoring their original forms. All four simultaneously attacked Lin Luo.

It wasn't that they chose not to rush down to attack the three weaker individuals; it was Lin Luo's emanating killing intent that they could not ignore. If they possessed physical bodies like humans, two of them would have been obliterated by that previous strike. This level of dominance already strained the four of them to their limits; they certainly couldn't afford to deal with others.

Their sole objective was to stall Lin Luo; mere defense would suffice.

"Hmph, beings with a near-immortal state, yet again. There are quite a few, aren't there, this 'undead' business..." Facing the cautious stance of the four, Lin Luo was dismissive. Whether these four were entities materialized by Youming using the power of death or souls summoned from the Ghost Path, they were still spectral beings, far from truly immortal.

"Youming, I believe you should be able to see me now," Lin Luo stood on the rooftop, his voice cold, completely ignoring the presence of the four around him. "Are you trying to stall me while you analyze the Rules? Hmm, that's a fine idea, but can these useless pawns you sent truly stop me? Minions are always just minions. Let me show you what a King of the World truly is!"

Whoosh!

Before his words faded, Lin Luo vanished from his spot. His speed was unpredictable and utterly inscrutable. Before the four could react, one was seized by the head, a faint light descending from his palm. The being shuddered violently, unable to launch an attack in time.

Lin Luo delivered a punch... Bang!

Amidst the violent explosion, this being did not turn into smoke but shattered completely into countless black fragments, scattering on the ground like burnt charcoal.

Seeing this, the remaining three instinctively backed away a step. Lin Luo noticed a flicker of fear in their eyes. This was natural; although they possessed forms, they were fundamentally formless beings, normally immune to conventional attacks. But that single strike had resulted in absolute obliteration.

It is difficult even for the Two-Fold Great Sword to slay high-ranking spiritual entities. After all, no power in this world is truly invincible; the esoteric loses its effect before a higher esoteric. But if the opponent's esoteric degree is lowered, the outcome changes entirely.

This is the very essence of Spiritual Body Materialization: transforming formless spirits into tangible entities. When taken to its highest level, it means the stripping away of esoteric degree!

Since learning Spiritual Body Materialization, although Lin Luo hadn't reached the ultimate stage, dealing with these semi-spiritual, semi-physical beings was effortless.

Before the three could counterattack, Lin Luo reappeared before them, shattering them one by one with a punch each. Combining Spiritual Body Materialization with the Laws of Illusion guaranteed an absolute instant kill!

Finally, Lin Luo stood on the rooftop, gripping the head of the fourth being tightly, staring directly into its eyes, and stated in a deep voice, "Bring your hundred percent Rules power and come at me. I will wait for you right here. I will show you the difference between us, Youming!"

Boom!

As his voice faded, the being's head was crushed in his hand.
