I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart Chapter 219 – The Blood–Stained Gramophone

The thunderbolts roared, and lightning surged. With a flashing Thunderbolt Mark on his forehead, Lin Yao walked across the place like a god, destroying everything in his path with lightning.

Both the servant corpses and evil spirits were akin to paper tigers before the Heavenly Thunder, which possessed the mighty dominance of heaven. As their bodies shattered, the evil auras also dissipated.

This attack would naturally antagonize the freak dominating this place. A massive number of servant corpses appeared, and more ghosts flew toward Lin Yao. There was also a freak spying on Lin Yao on every floor.

In the pitch-dark floors of the building, all kinds of loud screams were coming from the rooms, and there were endless ghostly shadows and even a blood color that was spreading in between the floors. This place was very strange and mysterious. Its atmosphere alone could already terrify ordinary people to death.

Unfortunately, what lay ahead on the uncanny floors were not the mortals they were waiting for but a god descending from heaven.

Those endless, uncanny evil shadows came to an abrupt end upon the arrival of Lin Yao, who was surrounded by thunderlight.

The pitch-black illusion was illuminated by the radiance of lightning, the ferocious roars of the monsters were suppressed by the rumbling thunder, and the endless evil aura was purified by lightning.

As Lin Yao walked past it, the originally strange and mysterious floor became completely safe…

No, it had been completely annihilated.

When Lin Yao left, the place was a mess, as if it had been baptized by a salvo of cannons on the battlefield.

Lin Yao, who was venting his energy, was more horrifying than the strangeness and mystery of this place.

Of course, when Lin Yao swept across and destroyed everything, the evil spirits were not indifferent.

However, all of this was useless. He was surrounded by too much thunder and lightning. Any evil spirit who wanted to get close to him would be struck and shattered by thunder and lightning.

The servant corpses couldn't get close to him. The same was true for the ghosts. The only thing which posed a threat to him was the freak on every floor.

Both the doll on the original floor he was on and the strange smoke freak Cui Huo had encountered posed a certain danger to Lin Yao.

The former could manipulate the human body silently, and the latter could transform into ordinary smoke and get absorbed into the human body. Either of them could cause someone to die.

Even an unsuspecting, high-level silver martial artist would be killed in seconds.

Although they could achieve this because of their strange and mysterious abilities, this was why freaks were that formidable. No one would know what kind of strange abilities would appear suddenly and kill them instantly.

Therefore, many freaks, such as the puppet doll, could kill humans without lifting a finger. They could just remotely manipulate a high-level silver captain from a room with unknown silk threads.

This factor of uncertainty, in combination with the ability to kill humans, instantly made everyone fearful of freaks.

However, Lin Yao was an exception. The lightning surrounding him could block most of the attacks of the freaks. Even if they could break down the defense of the lightning, Lin Yao still had the holy garment protecting him.

Yes, the profound meaning of the guardian holy seal was manifested on the surface of Lin Yao's body.

This was an energy battle armor formed by light and spirit energy. Due to Lin Yao's light-purifying properties, it had the ability to resist the attacks of energy from the outside.

In addition, Lin Yao had also comprehended the strength of unity and the meaning of guardianship.

After the holy garment appeared, if someone with a strong spiritual perception were to listen carefully, they would be able to hear faint, childlike voices coming from Lin Yao's holy garment.

The childlike voices were singing and praising Lin Yao, thanking him for helping them and others.

Gratitude alone was not powerful, but when tens of thousands of people came together and thanked someone, this belief would hold some strength in the world of spirit energy.

This power was called the power of faith in the West and worship in the East.

Even if human beings couldn't absorb this, it could still improve their luck.

On the other hand, Lin Yao's holy garment could absorb this power, which made his holy garment battle armor possess the attribute of worship.

The power of worship of the Middle Way[1] was one that could restrain filthy, evil powers the most. The evil spirits were full of the powers of hatred, violence, cruelty, hatred, terror… and so on. Therefore, regardless of what they did to corrode Lin Yao, the holy garment would put up its fiercest resistance.

'So long as the holy garment is not destroyed, I'll be fine.'

Outside of his body was the thunderbolt, which represented the dominance of heaven. Protecting him from the inside were the holy light and the three sacred trees in his Sea of Consciousness. At that moment, Lin Yao almost wanted to holler 'Who can kill me?'.

'Forget it. I'd better not jinx myself… Well?”

Just as Lin Yao withdrew this death-courting thought, he suddenly felt a wave of turbulence in his Sea of Consciousness.

Turning his head, Lin Yao was surprised to discover that, just as this thought appeared in his mind, a strange and mysterious sound was heard from a room nearby, making his 3D image layer sway a little.

'It's a freak attack! Scoundrel, go and die. Roar!'

Boom!

As he faced a sonic attack, Lin Yao dealt with it by using sonic waves.

Just as that strange and mysterious attack shook Lin Yao's Sea of Consciousness, Lin Yao also hollered furiously.

Thanks to the Deafening Thunder Roar, his holler was akin to Heavenly Thunder. It was deafening and could terrify anyone with malicious intent.

What Lin Yao hadn't expected also occurred. His roar of thunder was, in fact, very lethal for the servant corpses.

The servant corpses were transformed by dead people who had been polluted with evil aura. What kept them moving was the evil aura in their minds and bodies. The roar of thunder with the dazzling dominance of heaven could shake their souls and oppress their minds directly.

A complete freak had a core, and a normal living creature had brains. Unless there was a close tremor, most of the evil spirits and humans would only feel dizzy due to the roar of thunder.

However, most of the servant corpses didn't have a consciousness or core, and the ghosts only had souls. Therefore, they would be impacted by the Deafening Thunder Roar directly.

For this reason, after a furious roar, Lin Yao discovered that many ghosts had been badly shaken. The weaker ones rotted and dissipated directly, and the stronger ones became more transparent.

The servant corpses were in an even more miserable state. When the furious roar was heard, all the servant corpses fell to the ground. It was only after a long time that several of them managed to hold onto their cores and get up in a wobbly manner.

Unfortunately, they couldn't escape the fate of annihilation although they had gotten up from the ground. Thunderbolts would flash and shoot them from afar, destroying all of them.

After destroying all these weak servant corpses, Lin Yao didn't forget the freak that had caused all of this.

It was indeed effective to fight a sound with a sound. That freak's sound was dissipated by one Deafening Thunder Roar.

After perceiving it carefully, Lin Yao discovered that it was actually a blood-stained gramophone making strange and mysterious sounds.

He did not hesitate one bit. With his mind, he shot out a dazzling, bright bolt of lightning from his forehead and struck the gramophone.

“Ah…”

When it was struck by the thunderbolt, filthy blood spilled from the gramophone and a shrill, miserable sound was heard.

The violent sound triggered the protection of Lin Yao's holy garment. One by one, figures of young children singing songs that praised Lin Yao appeared on it.

The singing voices resisted the shrill, miserable scream of the gramophone, but soon, the holy garment was no longer needed.

“DAMN! YOU! ROAR!”

Boom!

With a pause between his every word, Lin Yao spoke by using the Deafening Thunder Roar. The furious roar was akin to the explosion of Heavenly Thunder. It dispersed the shrill and miserable scream of the gramophone, cracking this strange and mysterious object.

No, the cracked gramophone was not the only outcome. Although the Deafening Thunder Roar contained heaven's will and could oppress one's mind, it also had the infrasonic impact of a sound.

Lin Yao had hollered furiously four consecutive times, and the entire building was shaking non-stop. The glass of the windows and the wooden door simply shattered all over the place.
