Chapter 1459: Challenge

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Looking at the pattern of the ancient scale on the first page of the Book of Death, Lin Yun couldn’t help but think of the Equilibrium Law, which contained only six core offensives, but was able to confine two best meditation laws. It even added a core equation to the Elemental Heart. That was exactly the power of balance. It might seem useless, but it boasted an irresistible magnificent power.


The first chapter didn’t seem very intimidating, yet it suppressed all the following chapters. When Lin Yun acquired the components earlier, he never considered their order. He simply arranged the components in the order he obtained them. That order did not affect the power of the Book of Death or its components at all.


However, it seemed that the order really mattered. The Chapter of Balance was the basis and the most powerful component. It was the key to suppressing all the other magic tools.


After the Chapter of Balance appeared, the chains on the surface of the Book of Death were completely gone. Those chains had been automatically condensed by the Book of Death, and were no longer useful. As long as the Chapter of Balance was here, even the most disobedient component would’ve been fully suppressed without being able to cause any trouble.


That strange soul had been able to cause some trouble earlier. At the very least, it had produced a glittering ball of light on the page. However, at this moment, it looked like a dead abstract painting that couldn’t cause any trouble at all.


After the Chapter of Balance appeared, Lin Yun didn’t even have the time to test its ability yet when dazzling light surfaced on the Book of Death. After a glitter, Lin Yun vanished, leaving the Book of Death floating where it was.


The Book of Death automatically closed and floated quietly. Visible ripples were spreading from the Book of Death, as if a new world were being created. The Book of Death was still there, but nobody could touch it anymore.


Lin Yun was shrouded in the light. He was quite shocked, but he soon calmed down.


When he could see things again, he found himself in the middle of nowhere in the void. Then, there was a glow in the void, and a human-shaped creature walked out of the glow. He was a skeleton when he took the first step, a zombie when he took the second step, and a vigorous living human being when he took the third step. The guy looked 80% similar to Lin Yun, but he had the eyes of an abyss.


“We meet again. What are you going to do this time?”


Lin Yun looked at the guy on his opposite side with a smile.


The Book of Death’s Magic Tool Incarnation had been asleep ever since they’d met for the first time. When he acquired the Book of Death, there was not a single component in it, but only the container itself. Even though it was an Extraordinary Magic Tool, its combat ability was utterly disproportionate to its level.


The Book of Death’s growth was disrupted because of all sorts of accidents. It was even taken out of the Plane of the Undead. So, it was impossible for the book to be completed. Its components were scattered across the universe. Even if Lin Yun hadn’t got it, it couldn’t have grown any more powerful.


At that time, he fought the Book of Death’s Magic Tool Incarnation. They had exactly the same level, mana, and spells. In the end, Lin Yun won, but only narrowly. At that time, Lin Yun didn’t really understand why it would happen.


Come to think of it, it was surely because of the Chapter of Balance. The Book of Death was unable to crush Lin Yun unstoppably. Even though the Chapter of Balance wasn’t there, its laws were still sealed inside the book.


There were altogether 10 chapters in the Book of Death. Even though the World Chapter was not melted into the Book of Death, but into the Natural Demiplane, it was in his possession anyway.


He was in his Natural Demiplane at this moment, so the World Chapter was part of Lin Yun’s power. It was not surprising that the Book of Death’s Magic Tool Incarnation woke up again.


If the World Chapter was melted into the Book of Death, then the void would grow into a real world, just like a new Natural Demiplane. A world that was created within the Book of Death might not be able to compare to the Natural Demiplane in some places, but its development was definitely faster and more perfect than the natural evolution of a Natural Demiplane.


However, there was no doubt that the world could never turn into a real one. Only a Natural Demiplane could grow into a real world that naturally evolved and took shape.


The Book of Death’s Magic Tool Incarnation stared at Lin Yun with a complicated expression.


“You’re very strong. I didn’t expect you to grow so strong so quickly. You even found all the missing chapters. The Chapter of Balance has been awakened because of you.


“But that’s not a reason for me to succumb to you. I was born in the Plane of the Undead, the destination of creatures and worlds. I am the life that has been born from infinite death. I am not to obey anyone.


“But truth be told, I think highly of you. You have all that it takes to control the Book of Death. Now, show me your strength. Let’s see if you can subdue me after such a long time.”


The Magic Tool Incarnation’s aura rose quickly until it reached the peak of the Heaven Rank. Lin Yun felt that his own power, too, was rising quickly to the peak of the Heaven Rank.


At this moment, his understanding of all laws was perfected. The laws of earth, fire, water, wind, light, darkness, space, and all the other elements were completed. The world’s own laws had been fully grasped by Lin Yun, who even felt that his soul became full and succulent. It seemed that he was very close to a qualitative change.


The God Fire. He felt that he was on the verge of igniting the God Fire. He was truly immaculate at the peak of the Heaven Rank, and he didn’t have any weakness.


Lin Yun didn’t take out his staff or magic tools. He was planning to fight with his own strength.


Lin Yun was quite surprised at this situation. In legends, Bane had never completely controlled the Book of Death after he acquired it. Even when Bane was strong enough to conquer the Plane of the Undead like a god, he was still unable to subdue the Book of Death.


It was not just because he hadn’t collected all the components. Not all of the Book of Death’s components had real entities. The All-Encompassing Chapter, for example, didn’t appear until Lin Yun’s foundation of laws was perfected. The Chapter of Balance didn’t show up on its own until the requirements were met.


Lin Yun didn’t know whether or not Bane found the Chapter of Balance in the Book of Death, but the man couldn’t have had the All-Encompassing Chapter.


The Book of Death had always been most mysterious. Bane was unable to subdue the Book of Death even when he died. Lin Yun had kept the Book of Death for a long time, but the Magic Tool Incarnation had always been asleep since it showed up at the beginning, when Lin Yun was only able to leave a mark on it to indicate his ownership.


However, it didn’t mean that the Book of Death had surrendered to him. The Magic Tool Incarnation had never yielded, which meant that someone else might take the Book of Death away. As a matter of fact, anyone else who obtained the Book of Death and left a mark on it would be able to use it directly.


For a magic tool, the Magic Tool Incarnation was the most important thing. A lot of a magic tool’s abilities depended on the Magic Tool Incarnation. Sometimes, a magic tool’s main abilities could only be unleashed by its Magic Tool Incarnation.


Take Lord Shawn for example. The magic tool that he resided in wasn’t really powerful. It was just a place to rest in. All its power and abilities came from Lord Shawn.


Earlier, the Bloody Lich had tried to loot the Book of Death. He certainly knew the Book of Death very well, and that it was born in the Plane of the Undead. The Extraordinary Magic Tool that was born in the biggest and most special ultimate plane was undoubtedly the most powerful Extraordinary Magic Tool. It was much more powerful than the Extraordinary Magic Tools born in other planes.


The Bloody Lich certainly knew that Lin Yun hadn’t completely subdued the Book of Death and its Magic Tool Incarnation. That was why he tried to rob him of it. If the Magic Tool Incarnation had been subdued, he wouldn’t have been acknowledged by the Book of Death as its master even if he’d taken it away.


Lin Yun was quite surprised at the Book of Death’s Magic Tool Incarnation’s gesture. He had always known how stubborn and proud the guy was. Even Bane, a man who was as strong as a god, couldn’t subdue the Book of Death. Its Magic Tool Incarnation was doubtlessly unyielding.


When Lin Yun acquired the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, its Magic Tool Incarnation awakened. He could’ve simply destroyed the Magic Tool Incarnation, and use another Magic Tool Incarnation to control the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras. After all, the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras had just become an Extraordinary Magic Tool, and its Magic Tool Incarnation just awakened.


But it was impossible to do that to the Book of Death, which had been an Extraordinary Magic Tool for a long time. Its Magic Tool Incarnation had existed for a long time too, and was fully combined with the Book of Death. To destroy the Magic Tool Incarnation would be no different from destroying the Book of Death.


Besides, the Book of Death, as an Extraordinary Magic Tool naturally born in the Plane of the Undead, was indestructible, unless Lin Yun was truly as strong as a god…
