The First Store System

Chapter 1480: Huo Jinglin(2)

Boom!

With a loud sound, the Bestial Cormorant was burned to ashes. Huo Jinglin smiled upon seeing the outcome of the battle.

The next moment, time seemed to have flown backward, and not long after, the Bestial Cormorant appeared without any injury. Following that, a white light enveloped him and the beast.

The next moment, Huo Jinglin returned to his father's residence with the Bestial Cormorant not far from him.

The Bestial Cormorant wanted to roar to unleash its frustration at defeat, but when it saw the being in front, it didn't make any sound and immediately knelt.

Huo Jinglin ignored the beast and wanted to speak about his victory, but he suddenly found that the memory of the five skills had disappeared from his head. He couldn't help but smile wryly since he had expected the outcome.

"Since you have won against the beast, as you have said, you can postpone your cultivation till you master all five skills," Huo Pinglu broke the silence and announced.

Huo Pinglu didn't need to see the battle to find the increase in Huo Jinglin's power after mastering the five skills, but he still forced the battle because he wanted to see whether Huo Jinglin's confidence would still be there.

Time was like a stream that kept flowing without stopping, and years passed in the blink of an eye.

Exhale!

Huo Jinglin exhaled a deep breath of air and opened his eyes from his meditation. Since he found the store a few years ago, he would daily visit the store and do the Immortal level difficulty training area, Gods and Demons level difficulty weekly, and Primordial level difficulty once a year.

He also found out about the evolution feature of the card, but since the Bestial Cormorant was already an ultimate quality beast at peak Supreme God level, it didn't help the beast much other than slightly increasing its strength due to bloodline improvement.

After coming from the store, Huo Jinglin would battle with the Bestial Cormorant for an hour or two in his father's inner world. Huo Pinglu had allowed Huo Jinglin to enter the inner world as he saw fit. In the remaining time, he would do the training for the skills and some hours of meditation to rest his mind.

In those years, the beast had also grown stronger due to the training pack available in the store, which allowed the Bestial Cormorant to train with other beast races without the fear of death.

After completing the meditation, it was time for Huo Jinglin to activate the Ultimate Store Card and teleport to the store, but suddenly his senses warned him of danger.

Huo Jinglin couldn't help but become shocked since he was in the core territory of the Yedrians, and his father was still present. How could he feel danger in that condition?

But since he felt it, he didn't waste a moment and immediately summoned the Bestial Cormorant.

Cry!

Immediately, the Bestial Cormorant let out a hysterical roar, and its hair immediately stood up. Seeing the strong reaction of the beast, Huo Jinglin frowned, and just as he was about to contact his father, there was a movement in the void.

The space around him cracked, and a claw emerged from it. Huo Jinglin trembled in fear as the claw had the same strength as his father.

"WHO DARES TO HARM MY SON?"

Suddenly, an angry roar rang across the universe as Huo Pinglu sensed a second Sacred Creator in his territory at Huo Jinglin's residence.

Huo Jinglin had frozen in fear and couldn't even bring himself to activate the store card and escape the danger.

The claw's direction was Huo Jinglin, and it immediately grabbed it. Huo Pinglu further let out a roar as he saw Huo Jinglin disappearing right in front of his eyes.

He wanted to follow the claw into the void, but hair all over his body suddenly rose, freezing him.

Huo Pinglu couldn't help but become shocked since he had forgotten the feeling of fear countless years ago. There were only eleven beings in the Sacred Dimension that had the power to make him feel such intense fear.

Huo Pinglu's shock even got bigger as he came to that conclusion since those eleven beings didn't interfere in the lives of the inhabitants of the Sacred Dimension.

Huo Pinglu still didn't want to give up so he immediately left in the direction of the Void Beast's location.lightsnovel

Huh!

Huo Jinglin muttered in confusion as he opened his eyes. He was sleeping on a bed at the moment.

He wanted to sit up but stopped after the wave of unbearable pain hit him. He didn't try to make any movement other than slowly moving his head to look around.

As he looked around, Huo Jinglin couldn't help but become shocked since he noticed various statues all around.

A bad feeling rose in his heart, and to confirm his suspicion, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him.

From what Huo Jinglin could gather, there were double-digit people in the group.

The sound suddenly stopped a few meters away from him. Huo Jinglin tried to look at them to find out their identities but was unable to peer through their hoods.

Fortunately for him, his cultivation was still there, and the injury was only physical so he was able to channel his energy to forcefully recover.

Huo Jinglin suddenly remembered that the Bestial Cormorant was also there when the claw emerged from the void.

After finding that his contract with the beast was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to lose his partner in training after only a few years.

Huo Jinglin then returned his focus to the hooded figure. He couldn't see their expression, but his intuition told him that those hooded figures had no good intentions toward him.

Huo Jinglin wanted to communicate, but as he tried to open his mouth, he found a wave of energy appearing and blocking any emerging sound from his throat.

He then saw the group separate, with each hooded figure going in a different direction.

When Huo Jinglin saw them moving away from him, the bad feeling in his heart grew to an unprecedented height. It was as though someone was smothering him.

His suspicions turned out to be true, as each figure in the group stooped below a statue and then stood in the same posture as the statue.

Huo Jinglin felt a chill crawling down his spine when he saw that scene since he could sense that he was a sacrifice in a ritual for evil summoning. Even in his dreams, he hadn't expected him to become a sacrifice in a ritual.

At that moment, Huo Jinglin could only hope for his father to revive him. He suddenly remembered the store card and immediately tried to activate it using his energy.

After that, he received the shock of his life as he found himself unable to teleport. No matter how many times he tried, the teleportation failed. At that moment, he seemed to have lost all hope of survival since it was the first time the store disappointed him.

Since no external help was coming to save him, he needed to find himself a way to escape from there.

But before he could attempt anything, a wave of sharp energy appeared out of nowhere above all the hooded figures, one after another.

Huo Jinglin immediately moved his eyes away from the sharp energy since he seemed to feel his soul getting cut in two with a simple glance. The next moment, the sharp energy fell on the hooded figures, and following that, two halves of their corpses crashed to the ground.

Red blood with a black hue flowed down the ground, and as if someone were manipulating it, it formed a pattern on the ground. At the same time, Huo Jingling felt all the bounds on him immediately loosen up.

Huo Jinglin didn't try to run since his intuition warned him against it. If he stayed there, there were chances of survival, but if he tried to run, then there was no chance of escape, and only death awaited him.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm After the restrictions on him disappeared, his body began to heal at a rapid rate. In only a few seconds, he could finally move his body.

After a few more seconds, all the external injuries had recovered, and Huo Jinglin could finally stand up.

When he stood up and looked down, he found that the bed on which he was was the core of the pattern, and the blood was slowly accumulating below it.

As the quantity grew, the black hue around the blood intensified, and an eerie sensation began permeating every corner of the room.
