Chapter 594: The Great Battle at Changhen Dongli
Seeing this, Lin Shen felt a surge of joy in his heart, as he knew his guess had been correct. The dead body indeed had a connection to the living Changhen Dongli.
The reason why the True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light was ineffective against him must also be related to this connection.
It was impossible for Changhen Dongli to accidentally kill himself with Death Powder; therefore, his Life Base must have had an extraordinary function.
With Scrap Sword in hand, Lin Shen fiercely slashed across the corpse's face—each slash deepened the wound on the corpse's face, and likewise, the injuries on the living Changhen Dongli's face became increasingly apparent.
"You're courting death!" the living Changhen Dongli, furious to the extreme, counterattacked with a crescent-shaped black light directed at Lin Shen.
The black light was extremely fast, and under normal circumstances, Lin Shen would have had a hard time avoiding it.
However, Lin Shen had no intention of dodging. The moment Changhen Dongli released the black light, he rolled on the ground, using the corpse as a shield above him.

Clang!
The black light struck the corpse, slashing a mark on its carapace and a similar wound appeared on the back of the living Changhen Dongli, blood oozing out immediately.
"I didn't want to kill you right now, but you're asking for it." Changhen Dongli's eyes filled with murderous intent as he flashed in front of Lin Shen who had just risen, throwing a punch towards Lin Shen's head, aiming to burst it open.
Lin Shen's Super-Base Change had been completed, with Super Base Pattern, Super-Base Recast, and Super Base Form all activated, greatly enhancing his physical attributes; but when compared to Changhen Dongli, he was still falling short. Nonetheless, he was not completely without the ability to react.
Lin Shen shifted laterally in a bizarre manner, while clutching one of the corpse's legs with his left hand. With a sudden exertion of force, he hurled the corpse toward Changhen Dongli's fist.
Changhen Dongli frowned slightly and, in a critical moment, forcefully changed the trajectory of his fist to avoid the corpse while launching another powerful punch towards Lin Shen's belly. The fist hadn't arrived yet, but the force of the punch had already hit Lin Shen. However, before the black light could affect him, a platinum Scrap Sword appeared, blocking the impact.
The black light hit the blade of the Scrap Sword, sending Lin Shen, along with the sword, flying backward, snatching the corpse in the process.
As Changhen Dongli sought to continue his assault, Death Powder flew toward Lin Shen and landed in his hands.
In midair, with one hand gripping the Scrap Sword and the other holding Death Powder, Lin Shen swung the Death Powder like a whip. It streaked through the air in an unsettling arc and, catching Changhen Dongli off guard, actually wrapped around the neck of the corpse.
As Lin Shen was blasted backwards, the stretch of Death Powder's body was extended, and the noose around the corpse's neck tightened increasingly.
With the boost from the True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light, the carapace on the neck had been strangled to breaking point, and it seemed the corpse's neck was about to be severed.
Similarly, the carapace on Changhen Dongli's neck shattered, and blood poured forth.
"Damn it!" Changhen Dongli's eyes turned ice cold, and a black glow rose from his body. Before Death Powder could decapitate the corpse, he crushed the corpse's neck with a single palm strike himself.
With the corpse shattered, Death Powder instantly lost its grip and was flung away along with Lin Shen.
Fortunately, the previous pull had reduced a lot of the force that had sent Lin Shen flying. He flipped in the air to land on the ground and had to retreat over a hundred steps before he could stabilize his stance.
Lin Shen held Death Powder in one hand and the Scrap Sword in the other, as the power of the World's Force flooded crazily into his body.
Without waiting for Changhen Dongli to make a move, Lin Shen lashed out with his whip, the light from the whip tracing a strange arc through the air.
This time, Changhen Dongli didn't resist the light of the whip but instead released a black light that dispersed the whip light made from the True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light.
His own black light was also dissolved by the True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light, with neither force gaining the upper hand.
"Indeed, without a corpse, he now dares not withstand the True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light head-on," Lin Shen quickly swung the Death Powder, lashing out whip lights at Changhen Dongli.
The strength of Lin Shen, coupled with the inherent power and acceleration of the Death Powder, made the whipping incredibly fast, almost too fast for Lin Shen's own control.
Changhen Dongli's figure moved rapidly like a monster, dodging all the whip lights, and rushed towards Lin Shen, reaching out to grab his head.
Lin Shen, unable to dodge in time, pulled on the Death Powder in his hand. The seemingly straightforward whip strangely twisted and wound around Changhen Dongli's arm, scattering the black light on his arm and affecting the speed of his hand.
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Lin Shen quickly rebounded backward, avoiding Changhen Dongli's hand.
"Using a pet as a weapon, and with such an odd technique, I must say I've never seen anything like it. Too bad you're just an Ascender, and although your abilities far exceed a normal Ascender, the gap between us is still too vast. If you were at the Nirvana Level as I am, your peculiar skills could indeed give me a great deal of trouble. But as it stands, you can't even react fast enough. No matter how strange or bizarre your skills are, they're useless. I'll show you what true speed is..." Changhen Dongli said, gearing up to make his move again.
He had inherited memories from many generations of the Dongli Clan, his combat experience was incredibly rich, and he saw through Lin Shen's fatal weakness at a glance.
He didn't need to concern himself with the Death Powder at all. By using extreme speed to render Lin Shen unable to react, that odd technique of using a pet as a weapon would be pointless.
Lin Shen also recognized his weakness. Without using the attribute of the Sacrificial Halo, he was vastly inferior to Changhen Dongli in terms of attributes. Unable to keep up with the speed, he couldn't react to Changhen Dongli's full-blast velocity.
It was at this moment that Lin Shen suddenly heard the sound of a gong from the Mushroom Forest.
Changhen Dongli, who was about to make a move, was also slightly startled and turned his head to look at the Mushroom Forest, but he saw no one.
But the sound of the gong continued rhythmically, followed by a man's robust voice coming from the Mushroom Forest.
"The sky is vast, the fields are boundless, in my life I am the boldest... The sky is vast, the fields are boundless, in my life I am the boldest..." The voice was strong and forceful, and although it was just one man singing, the rhythm conjured the momentum of thousands of troops.
Lin Shen suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of power within his body that boosted all his attributes.
At the same time, his body received another surge of power, further elevating his attributes.
Lin Shen was both startled and delighted, knowing that Wei had returned. Wei's War Song channeled through the Qixin Wooden Fish was empowering his War Song Fire Seed ability significantly, but as for the additional surge of power, Lin Shen didn't know how Wei had managed to produce it.
Lin Shen's attributes surged, but he was very worried that Changhen Dongli would target Wei Wufu. Without hesitation, he once again swung the Death Powder at Changhen Dongli.
