The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 903 - 409 The True Source of Sinful Blood

"We can talk."

Lin Yun looked at the placenta behind the tentacles. Without the protection of those endlessly regenerating tentacles, the massive placenta looked like an unborn child, appearing not very threatening and making it easy for one to let their guard down.

But Lin Yun did not get too close and did not make a secret deal with it as the other party might have expected; instead, he spoke openly and honestly about it.

Well, the insider traitor openly switched sides.

Still, even though he openly switched sides, Qing Nu and the others remained united by his side. Perhaps this was the power of his personal charisma!

"Go back to where you came from, and I will not interfere with your world anymore."

With each inhale and exhale, the placenta emitted a thunderous roar like that of thunder.

A talking placenta, Qing Nu found it rather amusing, wondering whether the child she and Lin Yun would have could also learn to speak before being born.

This condition was not unacceptable to Lin Yun, unless he could bring himself to destroy the greater world; this was the best outcome he could fight for.

Moreover, even though the tentacles had been taken care of, Lin Yun still couldn’t quite ease his mind.

One small world popped out five Innate Gods, all incredibly fierce at that, and there’s not even one in this great world?

Furthermore, the enemy rules over so many small worlds, it’s possible that some of these oppressed and squeezed worlds have been conquered.

Anyway, the enemy should not be this weak.

The weaker they appear, the more Lin Yun suspects they have a vicious trump card up their sleeve.

How about just agreeing to it for now?

"I can agree to your conditions, but how can you guarantee that you will not go back on your word?"

At this stage, Lin Yun could almost believe that the current development was roughly the same as in historical records.

The past him, facing this situation, would have weighed the pros and cons and chosen to compromise.

But if he knew what the future would be like, he should also know that just compromising would still lead to destruction.

Suddenly, Lin Yun had a bold thought: Perhaps during this historical period, his past self had also recovered part of his memory, but unlike his current self, had not regained it all.

Maybe it was the accumulation from unknown numbers of previous cycles that allowed this version of himself to recover all memories at once.

Because with each cycle enduring the baptism of Time River, his Divine Soul would grow stronger, and with enough cycles, maybe he wouldn’t lose his memories from the start.

As he pondered, the placenta spewed out a mist of blood, which slowly formed into characters—these were the terms of their contract.

"Sign the Blood Covenant, and neither of us may break the promise."

This was the response to the question Lin Yun had asked previously. Lin Yun did not absorb the mist of blood created by the placenta but instead used his own blood to form the same characters and symbols.

For beings like them, a Blood Covenant forged with their own lifeblood was even more binding than an oath of the Great Dao.

Once the covenant was signed, any breach would result in being attacked by one’s own blood.

Unless one isolated the blood that contained the power of the Blood Covenant after signing, but in doing so, anyone with brains could see through it.

It seemed, the placenta was quite sincere, being the first to draw in the mist of blood created by Lin Yun.

And the mist it created was drifting towards Lin Yun.

Seeing this scene, Tai Bai knew he could not wait any longer.

If Lin Yun signed the Blood Covenant, it would be too late for anything.

In the past, none of them knew the true strength of the Great Dao Placenta.

They thought that coming from a grand world guaranteed immense power, or at least, that there would be powerful beings within the grand world.

Out of caution, they signed a Blood Covenant.

With this signing, they also missed the best opportunity.

In truth, the Great Dao Placenta was indeed that weak.

His greatest reliance was only the Fingers of Fate he controlled, these tendrils were infinite in quantity, capable of infinite regeneration, and should have been an invincible weapon. However, they were probably the very nemesis destined by the Great Dao Placenta.

His Innate Fire, after the Five Elements Returning to Origin and combined with his unique power of reversing chaos, made it impossible for the Great Dao Placenta to regenerate. No matter how vast in number, under the burning of the endless fierce flames, they were just fuel.

As for other experts from the grand world, they simply did not exist.

The Great Dao Placenta was nurtured by the power of the entire world, for its use alone.

Mere power siphoned from lesser worlds was far from enough; all the Spiritual Energy born from the grand world was claimed by it alone.

Such a life, seizing the essence of heaven and earth, could only be destroyed before its birth. Once born, there would no longer be a chance.

Regrettably, at that time they did not know, even thinking they could peacefully coexist.

The Great Dao Placenta, as per the agreement, did not directly lay hands on their worlds. However, controlling destiny, he stirred Fate, leading the First Elder and the Third Elder to become enemies, then detonated the Sinful Blood hidden within the Mortal Realm, driving Qing Nu mad, and causing the rest to suspect each other.

Lin Yun, with memories intact, was certain he hadn’t let a trace of Sinful Blood leak from himself; the Third Elder, who was the most suspicious and chose to start the cycle of rebirth to prove her innocence and to save the world, without anyone doubting her, pushed the drama of finding the insider traitor to its climax...

All these doubts were fully understood only after she completed the Five Spirits Returning to Origin and retraced the past.

Among them, not one was an insider traitor.

That Sinful Blood was secretly sprinkled into the Mortal Realm by the Great Dao Placenta using tendrils to attack their lesser world while they were opening the world barriers.

Indeed, the Great Dao Placenta, having mastered fate, had calculated everything even before the fight began.

But it could never have imagined!

The future self forged into a sword, traversing through time, brought this memory back...

As the blood mist slowly drifted towards Lin Yun, Tai Bai who’d been gathering strength for a long time finally unleashed a sword strike.

This strike, unmatched in sharpness, swiftly shattered the blood mist, and its residual force, undiminished, swiftly swept towards the placenta.

They were all stunned by Tai Bai’s sudden strike, and he silently withdrew the Divine Power that was accumulated in the palm of his hand.

Hmm, since Fifth Elder has made the first move, I’ll hold back for now, let’s see the effect first.

He could feel Tai Bai’s sword strike was terrifyingly powerful, not less than the combined force of their small suns. At this point, adding another small sun of his own wouldn’t be of much significance, better to wait and see, considering it as using Tai Bai to bait a fish.

If Tai Bai successfully kills the opponent, that would be great. If the opponent becomes desperate and goes berserk, since Lin Yun hadn’t made a move, there was still the possibility of negotiation.

How deviously cunning indeed; Lin Yun had not even made a move, but he had already considered both victory and defeat.

Tai Bai was brimming with confidence, indifferently saying, "This so-called Dao Embryo is now merely a paper tiger, a single sword strike, sufficient to slay it."

"Xiao Wu, when did you become so cool?"

Tai Bai’s coolness did not last more than three seconds, because Fourth Elder’s reaction was too exaggerated.

Tai Bai’s face turned dark, but his eyes were slyly glancing towards Lin Yun, wanting to see how he would view him.

Who knew, Lin Yun wasn’t looking at her at all; he was staring solemnly at the embryo.

Or rather, he was looking at the person emerging from the embryo...
