Chapter 0891: The Frightening Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute

Everyone's faces turned ugly as soon as they heard Li Jingzhe mention the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute. As Li Rouyun and Li Feng had been living in the inner divine continent, they naturally had more information on it. As such, they knew just how scary the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute was. For Li Luo, he had seen how the Xia Kingdom and the Blackwind Empire had fallen to ruins due to that organization.

Even Shen Jinxiao was just a p.a.w.n for them.

"Is the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute famous in the inner divine continent?" Li Luo asked after a moment of thought.

"Not just famous, they are simply notorious," Li Rouyun replied in a deep voice.

"They're one of the most mysterious forces in the world, having already existed for a really long time. Not to mention the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, even the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing, with the longest history, pales in comparison to it," Li Feng added on with a bitter smile.

"Furthermore, they're an extremely frightening force. Their traces can be found almost everywhere in the inner divine continent. It's one of the main things that the various Heavenly Emperor forces guard against because a Heavenly Emperor power was once wiped out by them," Li Feng continued.

At this point, Li Luo could not help but ask with a shocked face, "They've wiped out a Heavenly Emperor power?"

As their name suggested, every Heavenly Emperor power had a Heavenly Emperor helming it that was on par with his great ancestor, Heavenly Emperor Li. They were practically unrivaled, standing at the top of the world. Yet such a powerful figure had been defeated by the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute?

"The destruction of that Heavenly Emperor power was mainly due to the fall of their Heavenly Emperor. And this was due to the interference of the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute. The most scary part about them is not their pure power alone, it's the fact that they have hidden themselves in all parts of the world so deeply that no one is able to root them all out. It was only after the incident that we deduced who was behind it. The Heavenly Emperor in question fell because one of his trusted aides joined the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute and spent decades waiting for a chance to strike him. This eventually led to the destruction of the entire Heavenly Emperor power," Li Jingzhe slowly explained. His aged face was becoming colder and more stern as he talked about this. From the look in his eyes, Li Luo could tell that he was taking this matter more seriously with the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute coming into the picture.

At this moment, Li Luo could not help but break out in cold sweat. It was only now that he realized just how scary the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute was. It seemed like the downfall of the Xia Kingdom and the Blackwind Empire were just tiny matters for the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute. After all, they even dared to tangle with Heavenly Emperor powers! What was a pathetic and tiny country in an outer divine continent to them?

With ice-cold eyes, Li Rouyun added, "The Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute is extremely weird. The things they do are beyond crazy. They're probably the only people to ever willingly get close to the Others and even work hand in hand with them. In the past few years, a lot of Other Disasters have broken out in the inner divine continent largely due to them. They've always believed in the so-called unity of good and evil. Hence, they've always been pus.h.i.+ng for the merge of the real world and the shadow world. Those people are simply lunatics." Her deep disgust and hatred towards the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute was evident in her tone.

Of course, most people in the world probably felt this way towards them as well.

The Others were extremely disturbing creatures. To a normal human, they were even more scary than natural disasters. Once an Other Disaster was unleashed, even a nation would be powerless before it, falling to ruins. It was an exceedingly terrifying scenario that most people could not even imagine.

At this moment, Li Luo's face turned uneasy as he asked, "With so many Heavenly Emperor powers in the inner divine continent, why don't we work together and eliminate such an existence?"

Li Jingzhe replied lightly, "Of course we've tried. However, we're unable to root them out completely. The Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute has an extremely long history that is on par with the Academic Federation, perhaps even dating all the way back to the origin of the world. The Academic Federation has been searching for them for all these years and even formed an alliance with one of the Heavenly Emperor powers. Sadly, the effect was marginal as the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute simply lied low for a while before causing trouble again when things subsided."

Li Luo froze for a second while he listened to Li Jingzhe's explanation. These terrorists were basically roaming free in the world and no one could do anything about it?

"Besides, the truly scary thing about the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute is what they're doing behind the scenes. You never truly know who belongs to their faction, and their ability to manipulate humans and their emotions is much more frightening than the Others," Li Jingzhe said with a cold voice.

"No one can guarantee that they've not infiltrated any of the Heavenly Emperor powers or even the Academic Federation."

At this moment, Li Luo felt a chill run up his spine. It was like the air turned eerily cold all of a sudden.

"It sounds like they're invincible," Li Luo commented.

Hearing this, Li Jingzhe shook his head and replied, "If they were really invincible, there would be no need for them to hide in the shadows. Although the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute should not be underestimated, their belief goes against mankind's at its very core. Once they come out of the shadows, they'll make enemies out of the whole world."

Li Luo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Such a terrifying force was something he should stay away from for now.

"Just now, you mentioned that the Soul Eater True Devil inside Cousin Lingjing was created by the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute. What's their objective in doing so?" Li Luo asked, changing the topic of the conversation back to the Soul Eater True Devil.

"The Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute has always been conducting wild experiments on the fusion between mankind and Others. They've created numerous disturbing things over the years. The Soul Eater True Devil can be considered mild compared to those terrifying creations. However, it seems like it can swallow the spirit and talent of an individual. This is a special trait that's unheard of to date.

"On top of that..." Li Jingzhe paused for a moment, and his eyes turned serious.

"The Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute has planted this True Devil Other in the Dark Domain of the Western Region. Who knows what they are truly plotting in the dark? Could they have set their eyes on the Dragon's Fang Lineage?" Li Jingzhe continued.

Li Luo was startled to hear this. "We have to guard against this."

Having seen what happened to the Blackwind Empire and the Xia Kingdom, Li Luo did not want to see the same scenario afflicting the Dragon's Fang Lineage. After all, this was like a second home to him.

"I'll pa.s.s down the orders later for each region to examine and check their Dark Domains carefully. It seems like we may have to bring forward the inspection to prevent a disaster from happening," Li Jingzhe slowly said.

Li Luo nodded in agreement before he asked, "So, Grandpa, are you able to get rid of the Soul Eater True Devil in Cousin Lingjing?"

When he said this, the faces of Li Rouyun, Li Lingjing, and Li Feng turned serious, and they listened anxiously for his reply. This reply would ultimately decide Li Lingjing's fate .

Li Jingzhe pondered for a moment before he looked at Li Luo and said, "The Soul Eater True Devil was created by the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute, so it's really unusual, but I can give it a try."

Following this, he stretched out his hand, and a crimson light flashed in the center of his palm. Everyone watched as it grew into a crimson flame around the size of his palm.

There were nine fire dragons circling around the flame. As it grew in strength, the worldly natural energy in the surroundings shook violently.

All of a sudden, Li Luo and the rest could feel raging flames surging from the depths of their hearts. It was like they were about to be reduced to ashes.

At this moment, there was a really pressurizing force coming from the flame. It appeared to be even stronger than that of a Duke.

"Nine Dragon Fire Sword Veil!" Li Rouyun exclaimed softly.

She noticed the look of confusion on Li Luo’s face, so she whispered to him, "This is a King-grade treasured artifact that our Lineage Chief is famous for. It is extremely powerful, with the ability to burn anything and everything in the world. Once released, it envelops the land across thousands of kilometers and incinerates everything."

"King-grade treasured artifact..." Li Luo secretly clicked his tongue. He had never seen such a treasure before. Based on the pressure it emitted, he could tell that a single strand alone would be enough to wipe him out.

"The Nine Dragon Fire Sword Veil contains Dragon Fire Sword Energy. If you want to purify the Soul Eater True Devil in your body, you have to enter the veil and let the Dragon Fire Sword Energy incinerate it."

Li Jingzhe took a pause in his explanation and looked at Li Lingjing. He then continued, "The Dragon Fire Sword Energy is extremely tyrannical. It contains both the essence of sword intent and dragon fire. If you bathe yourself in this sword intent, you may be able to separate yourself from the Soul Eater True Devil. However, this is an extremely dangerous method. Bathing yourself in the Dragon Fire Sword Energy will bring you pain beyond your imagination. If your mind wavers even a little, it could easily cost you your life. Are you willing to try?"

As soon as he finished, Li Rouyun and Li Feng's faces turned pale. Even they themselves would not be able to hold out for long in the Nine Dragon Fire Sword Veil. They might be burnt to ashes shortly after entering. Although Li Jingzhe would restrain his power when Li Lingjing entered, it was still an extremely dangerous proposition.

Hearing this, Li Lingjing's face became pale as well. There was unconcealable fear in her eyes as she stared at the Nine Dragon Fire Sword Veil. Signs of an inner struggle arose in her eyes, but she came to a decision very soon.

She took a deep breath and shouted, "Lineage Chief, I'll do it!"

She knew that this was an option that was only presented to her thanks to Li Luo. If she turned it down, there would be few options left for her, seeing how vigilant Li Jingzhe was when it came to matters relating to the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute.

On her side, Li Luo sighed secretly. He truly admired Li Lingjing for her determination and courage. After all, there were not many who would dare to let dragon fire burn them.

There was a flash in Li Jingzhe's eyes when he heard her reply. He then nodded and said, "What a decisive and determined girl. Let's see how your luck holds, then."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve. and an invisible force seemed to have taken hold of Li Lingjing's delicate body. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a stream of light and flew into the Nine Dragon Fire Sword Veil.

Li Jingzhe held onto the fire veil with one hand and pointed his fingers at it with the other. In the next moment, the nine dragons around it let out faint, draconic roars. Then one of them turned to face the fire veil and breathed out a ball of crimson flames that contained countless sword lights that were boiling hot and extremely sharp.

The flames rained down and enveloped a slender figure that was sitting cross-legged.
