Chapter 208 - Within the Painting
Chapter 208: Within the Painting
“What!?” Upon hearing Lin Ming’s words, the two figures couldn’t contain their shock anymore!
Lin Ming actually had two God-tier inheritances on him.
If they had even one god-tier inheritance, they would have a chance to escape from their current predicament!
But when they looked at Lin Ming, no matter how they scrutinized him, he was only a tier 10 mage.
Even if he had withstood their attacks and had nothing to fear, they believed it was all thanks to the God of Fire’s Longevity Monument.
The Longevity Monument was the most powerful defensive divine artifact, it was only given that the two of them who were at the Sage tier couldn’t break through its defense.
“You two, just accept your fate,” Lin Ming spread out his hands and said.
Although he was surrounded and attacked by the two of them, Lin Ming didn’t panic at all.
Instead, he continued to provoke the two of them.
“Accept my fate?!”
“Accept my fate…”
After the two of them heard Lin Ming’s words, they became even more furious.
The blue figure roared in that instant, “I won’t! I won’t accept my fate!”
The red figure also went crazy.
The two of them started to go berserk on the spot due to Lin Ming’s words!
Their attacks were overwhelming!
Countless layers of illusions were destroyed by them.
“If you two are jealous, so be it. You can’t possibly go crazy just because you’re jealous, right?” Looking at the two of them, Lin Ming couldn’t help but ask.
Did the two of them really go crazy because of jealousy?
“Boom!”
However, the two of them didn’t give him any response.
Their attacks didn’t stop either.
On the contrary, one of the Sages’ attacks landed on the other Sage!
As the attack landed, the two of the Sages started fighting each other right in front of Lin Ming!
“Their minds are getting messed up,” Lin Ming could see clearly that chaos had begun appearing in their eyes.
Sage tier experts who were at their peak usually would not cultivate to the point of going berserk or dying. It could be said that the situation unfolding now was unprecedented.
After all, to be able to become a Sage tier expert, one’s mental fortitude had to be extremely tough, and all aspects of one’s body would undergo qualitative changes!
To think that the two of them were suffering a mental breakdown just because of Lin Ming’s words!
“No!” The red figure roared angrily!
“The Inheritance of the God of Fire is mine! I don’t want to die in this place. Even if I cultivate with all my might, I’ll only become someone else’s stepping stone!”
After breaking through to the Sage tier, the red figure understood the meaning of fate, but he didn’t want to accept his fate.
After all, he was, in his sense, alive.
If he continued cultivating, his consciousness and the life that belonged to him would be devoured.
He would only become someone else’s stepping stone!
It hadn’t been easy for the red figure to become a Sage tier expert, to become someone at the top of the world!
How could he be willing to become someone else’s stepping stone! Let alone a stepping stone that lost all of its consciousness!
Their suppressed instincts were released due to the words Lin Ming had said when they were slacking off mentally!
“Lin Ming!”
Suddenly, the two of them turned their heads at the same time and spoke to Lin Ming.
Such an eerie scene made people shudder.
However, all fear came from a lack of strength, and thus Lin Ming was not worried that the two of them could hurt him at all.
“Come with us,” The two of them spoke to Lin Ming.
“No,” Lin Ming shook his head and refused outright.
Only a fool would go with them.
That being said, Lin Ming was quite curious as to how they suddenly knew his name.
“You don’t believe me? Do you know how many people in this world are looking forward day and night to meeting me!” The two of them spoke at the same time.
“Well such a chance is nothing to me,” Lin Ming waved his hand and said straightforwardly.
“Very well, but today, I have chosen you,” The two figures spoke at the same time.
“Fuse!”
With this, the two figures, one red and one blue, slowly fused!
In the end, they became one!
Lin Ming had noticed just now that the two figures were of the same height, and had exactly the same features!
Thus, when they fused, there was no change at all!
However, as they merged, their aura changed!
Separately, the two of them were each at the pinnacle of the Sage tier.
Now that they had fused perfectly together, they had directly become a half-step God-tier!
Such strength was the strongest existence that Lin Ming had ever seen in this world!
Although a half-step God-tier hadn’t exactly reached the God-tier, it still had the word ‘God’ in it.
The power someone at this tier possessed was the basics of the God-tier’s power!
“Their original consciousness has been swallowed at this moment!” Lin Ming frowned. He naturally knew the reason why the two of them had fused.
It was also the reason why their temperaments had changed so drastically in an instant.
It was because their most primitive consciousness had already been devoured!
This figure didn’t belong to either of them!
“Fine, I’ll go with you,” Lin Ming nodded and agreed after witnessing this scene.
“Let’s go!” The figure grabbed Lin Ming’s shield and it actually made him budge!
The strongest defensive divine artifact was shaken at this moment!
“Open!” This figure shouted.
With a “boom”, the ground rumbled!
All the illusions beneath this figure disappeared!
Following this, a very deep crack appeared!
With its grasp on Lin Ming, the figure descended!
This crack was several kilometers deep, but in the eyes of a half-step God-tier expert, this wasn’t much of a distance at all.
“This is!” As this figure stopped, a huge painting appeared in front of Lin Ming.
“If you look here, this is a painting, and you’re merely in a painting,” This figure said to Lin Ming.
“Everything here is just a painting?” After hearing this, Lin Ming frowned.
“That’s right. That’s why everyone, no matter who it is, will be trapped here before they reach the God-tier. Even God-tier experts need time to get out of here,” This figure nodded and said.
“Because this is a divine artifact,” The figure continued.
“This divine artifact includes such a large space?” After hearing this, Lin Ming frowned.
There were many layers of illusions here, which made it impossible to break through.
Even the nine-headed worm couldn’t distinguish whether the things in this place were real or fake. This was also the reason for the cultivators’ inability to escape!
