An Lin acted according to the mantra Little Xie imparted on him, and a huge vortex of energy began to swirl into the Realm-Piercing Nail.

“Ding!”

A crisp ringing erupted and the Realm-Piercing Nail glowed with a bright crimson light.

Devastating power began to converge and condense at its tip, making it appear as if there were a blindingly-bright red star on the tip of the Realm-Piercing Nail.

“Go!”

An Lin pointed a finger and the Realm-Piercing Nail instantly vanished.

In the next instant, as if it moved by instant teleportation, it had already appeared right in front of the Hundred-Beast Demon’s face.

A screeching noise began to erupt within the chamber and wind surged as energy exploded forth.

The Realm-Piercing Nail was only a tiny sliver of distance away from the Hundred-Beast Demon’s temple, but that tiny sliver of distance seemed to be an insurmountable gap. Even the peerlessly sharp Realm-Piercing Nail couldn’t immediately puncture through the spatial barrier.

However, fine cracks slowly began to appear in the spatial barrier as the air trembled around the Realm-Piercing Nail…

The Hundred-Beast Demon’s regeneration was reaching a conclusion, and it slowly opened its eyes as it vowed to tear An Lin apart with its bare hands in the most brutal way possible. However, it was immediately greeted by the sight of a crimson nail.

It that moment, it detected an extremely powerful sense of peril.

Crack…

Something seemed to crack open, following which was a searing bolt of pain.

Thump!

The crimson streak of lethal light punctured through the Hundred-Beast Demon’s head. It warped the space around it as it passed through, thereby allowing it to pile on more damage to the Hundred-Beast Demon’s head. In the end, a gaping wound appeared, and it was even larger than the one that golden bolt of lightning had created.

The Hundred-Beast Demon hadn’t even regained consciousness for more than three seconds before it received another severe injury and fell unconscious again.

The Realm-Piercing Nail twisted back at An Lin’s command and stabbed toward the Hundred-Beast Demon’s heart.

After another bout of intense screeching, the spatial barrier was once again punctured. A huge hole appeared in the Hundred-Beast Demon’s heart with a dull thump, causing blood to gush forth like a fountain.

An Lin knew it was time to put the pedal to the metal instead of getting complacent.

The Realm-Piercing Nail crisscrossed through the air in a brutal display and dealt more and more damage to the Hundred-Beast Demon’s body.

Thump thump thump…

Fountains of blood exploded forth, thick and fast.

An Lin could feel that the Hundred-Beast Demon’s spatial barrier was getting weaker and weaker, and it was gradually taking lesser time for the Realm-Piercing Nail to make each penetration.

Not long after, the Hundred-Beast Demon was starting to resemble a piece of monstrous swiss cheese.

But An Lin still didn’t cease his attacks as the voice that was supposed to notify him that he had passed the trial hadn’t sounded yet.

Finally, at one particular instant, An Lin was completely unable to detect the spatial barrier anymore.

“Da Bai!”

An Lin roared as his legs gave out from under him, and he retracted his Origin Energy of the Netherworld.

“Leave it to me, woof!” Da Bai immediately heeded An Lin’s call and lunged toward the Hundred-Beast Demon and pinned its holey body to the ground.

He slashed out a series of blue saber formations with his Chaotic Sky-Crushing Claws at that moment and instantly chopped the Hundred-Beast Demon’s body into countless pieces!

Da Bai didn’t stop there; he used a fire spell technique next and blasted forth a stream of scorching flames which slowly charred the remains of the Hundred-Beast Demon black. After roasting the remains for a while, Da Bai flipped the pieces over and continued roasting them with his flames.

“Congratulations, you have passed through the Trial of Sins; you may now receive your reward.”

Bai Ling’s voice sounded, and Da Bai and An Lin experienced a sense of dizziness before arriving in a pure white space with a black ball hovering in the center.

An Lin collapsed onto the ground after arriving in this familiar space. His tightly-wound body completely relaxed, and he began to laugh while panting heavily. “Haha… We’ve finally passed all these accursed trials!”

“How stimulating… I’ll never forget this experience! Woof!” Da Bai collapsed onto the ground beside him with an emotional expression on his face.

“Hehe, and I’ll never forget how you diced the Hundred-Beast Demon and roasted it into charcoal.” Bai Ling made her way toward Da Bai with amusement in her bright eyes.

Da Bai trembled at the sight of Bai Ling and was too scared to even speak.

“Bai Ling, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise,” An Lin prompted impatiently with a triumphant smile.

A gentle smile appeared on Bai Ling’s face, and her eyes rippled like water as she walked toward An Lin in a seductive manner. “Don’t be so impatient, we haven’t even had any foreplay and you’re already thinking about digging into the main course?”

In the face of her blatant distraction tactics, An Lin remained completely unmoved and looked at her with a calm expression. “There’s no need for foreplay, can we please cut to the chase?”

Bai Ling sighed faintly. “It’s not that I don’t want to cut to the chase, it’s just that you… you’re a little strange. You can actively steal my information. What if you steal the inheritances away when I’m passing your inheritance to you?”

“Alright, then how do you propose we work around this?” An Lin recalled scenes from the last time he was here when he almost cracked the black ball after taking half the information within. With that thought in mind, he knew that Bai Ling’s concerns were valid and thus, he nodded amiably in a show of cooperation.

Light began to gather on Bai Ling’s palms, and she cast a seal on An Lin which prevented him from receiving bloodline and cultivation method inheritances. Only after doing all that did she point her fingertip toward An Lin’s forehead.

Boom!

Vast amounts of information began to flow into An Lin’s body before engraving itself deeply into An Lin’s mind.

An Lin’s eyes grew brighter from the influx of information. In comparison, the blood was beginning to drain from Bai Ling’s beautiful features as cold sweat began to materialize on her forehead. She discovered that she was completely unable to control the flow of information, and she was powerless to stop it from flowing into An Lin’s body. She had only encountered this type of bizarre situation once before.

However, Bai Ling didn’t forcefully cut off the flow of information this time. Instead, she only worked to slow down the flow of information to ensure the black ball wouldn’t crack like last time from the excessive information transfer. She decided to let the chips fall where they may…

The inheritance concluded.

An Lin remained silent, as if he was still digesting the massive influx of information.

A short while later, he looked toward Bai Ling with a peculiar expression. “So, you’re a member of the Purple Star civilization who was converted to become an alternate life-form?”

Bai Ling knew that this was part of the information An Lin had received, so there was no point in denial and she nodded lightly as affirmation.

An Lin furrowed his brows in confusion. “The Purple Star civilization… What happened to it?”

“I can’t tell you, I’ll die if I do.” Bai Ling’s eyelashes trembled as a grief-stricken expression appeared on her face.

“Next, I’m going to bestow upon you the inheritances of extreme frost, mechanical engineering, and the shadow demon. These three are all inheritances of the highest caliber from this research institute. You passed through all those trials, so you deserve these inheritances.” Bai Ling didn’t elaborate any further on the previous topic of conversation and tapped her finger onto An Lin’s forehead again.

“Da Bai and Xiao Hong also fought by my side, they should get inheritances as well!” An Lin protested.

Bai Ling replied with a smile. “Don’t worry, they’ll get inheritances too, and those inheritances will be the ones that are most suitable for them.”

Thus, An Lin received another three inheritances.

All three inheritances had extremely practical uses, and he was beginning to tremble with excitement as they were injected into his mind. The inheritance of extreme frost revolved around the utilization of the laws of ice, the inheritance of the shadow demon revolved around spatial and sensory manipulation and could even be used in conjunction with the Shadow Tiger technique from his Six Strikes of the War God. As for the inheritance of mechanical engineering, hmm, he could try to make some modifications on Gundam One and Gundam Two in the future!

He roused Xiao Hong from her slumber, and she received the inheritance of life force. From Bai Ling’s description, this inheritance could work in conjunction with Xiao Hong’s photosynthesis as well as her Golden Crow inheritance to create a more potent effect.

Da Bai then received the inheritance of dog-food-production. Yes, this really was an inheritance revolving around how to make dog food.

Da Bai was completely dumbfounded after receiving this inheritance.

An Lin also mirrored his expression after learning of what his inheritance was.

Right at this moment, a “ding dong” notification tone suddenly sounded from the system.
