Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 1106 -1106: Kneel

The pitch-black, eerie Ghost Qi, like ink, spilled onto the paper, obscuring the blood-drenched characters.

Yan Li coldly gazed at Lin Shen, awaiting the arrival of his death.

The Life and Death Book and Judge’s Pen—both ultimate divine artifacts painstakingly crafted by the Yan Family—could kill without a trace. Even for a Great Divine Official, once their name was erased, death was nearly inescapable.

These artifacts were originally created to help the Yan Family reclaim their place in the Celestial Court and were deliberately designed to align with the Netherworld Great Method and the Life Soul of King Yanluo.

After generations of research and experimentation by the Yan Family, it was confirmed that any creature, once their name was erased, would invariably face an untimely demise.

Even the Ultimate Creatures, should their name be erased, would find survival an impossibility.

Of course, there are no absolutely invincible divine artifacts in this world, and the Life and Death Book is no exception to this rule.

First, one must know the target’s name. Second, it requires possession of King Yanluo’s Divine Soul and mastery of the Netherworld Great Method. Third, to kill someone, the wielder must sacrifice their own innate life span as the price.

For example, if the target has a remaining life span of a thousand years, using the Life and Death Book to kill them would require the user to forfeit a thousand years of their own life span.

This price is undeniably heavy, which is why Yan Li would typically not resort to using these two ultimate divine artifacts unless absolutely necessary.

But Lin Shen’s blatant disregard for the forces of the Six Paths of Reincarnation left Yan Li feeling uneasy. Determined to avoid any further unexpected twists, she bypassed using her Divine Soul altogether and brought out both artifacts directly—ready to sacrifice her own life span to ensure Lin Shen’s swift death, eradicating all future threats.

In the instant Lin Shen’s name was erased, Yan Li felt her own life span draining rapidly—within moments, a thousand years had been lost. freёnovelkiss.com

However, for her, a millennial life span was insignificant, barely a drop in the ocean. Having attained the Ultimate form, her life span was terrifyingly vast, and she could readily employ other methods to replenish it later.

The loss of several thousand years of life span mattered little to Yan Li.

But very quickly, Yan Li realized something was gravely wrong. Her life span was draining faster and faster—within moments, tens of thousands of years had evaporated—but Lin Shen remained perfectly fine, standing there without the slightest sign of death.

Typically, Lower Divine Beings have an innate life span of only a few thousand years. Middle Divine Beings have about ten thousand years, while Upper Divine Beings might reach hundreds of thousands.

By now, Yan Li had already sacrificed over a million years of her life span, yet Lin Shen remained entirely unscathed.

“How is this possible!” Yan Li exclaimed, her doubt and horror evident as she stared at Lin Shen.

Her life span was vanishing at blinding speed. A brief moment of hesitation cost her two to three million years, and had she not attained the Ultimate form and surpassed mere Upper Divine Beings, she would undoubtedly have perished multiple times over.

At this point, she could no longer continue. If she pressed ahead, Lin Shen might still survive untouched, while she herself would surely perish.

Spurt!

Yan Li forcibly halted the operation of the Life and Death Book, vomiting up fresh blood as the backlash of abrupt cessation took its toll.

Lin Shen remained entirely unaffected, but he instinctively understood that the golden glow emanating from the character imprinted on his palm must have protected him.

Yan Li’s two divine artifacts seemed to resemble his Deathly Destiny Stele. If not for the character there, Lin Shen knew he wouldn’t have emerged unscathed.

“The Jade Emperor truly is supreme. Yan Li boasted so arrogantly before, even dismissing the Great Emperor, making herself out to be extraordinary—yet she can’t contend with even a single character written by our Jade Emperor,” Lin Shen thought to himself with newfound confidence, realizing the sheer might of the golden character etched into his palm.

“Yan Li, abandon your stubbornness. Release Di Esi and Wei Wufu, and I won’t kill you,” Lin Shen declared.

“You dare?” Yan Li sneered, her internal doubts simmering, yet unwilling to believe that Lin Shen held the ability to kill her.

After all, everything she had been taught emphasized the importance of annihilating the Great Emperor as her life’s mission.

Aside from the Great Emperor, Yan Li never regarded other Divine Beings as equals, much less worthy opponents.

Though Lin Shen, as Star Constellation Master, was revered by others as one of the highest-ranking figures, to Yan Li, he was merely an insect.

Even if he possessed some abilities, she saw him as nothing more than a slightly formidable pest—not someone who could truly pose a threat to her.

Yan Li glared icily at Lin Shen, Divine Light blazing around her as she prepared to summon her Divine Soul to kill him.

But Lin Shen had no interest in watching her put on a show. Di Esi and Wei Wufu had been cast into the Human World Path by her, their survival uncertain. Every second wasted was a second of mounting danger.

As Yan Li prepared to call forth her Divine Soul, Lin Shen raised his palm and commanded sternly, “Kneel.”

Yan Li’s body erupted in a dazzling surge of Divine Light, dismissing Lin Shen’s words as inconsequential. Terrifyingly spectral Divine Souls flew out from her body, darting toward Lin Shen like ethereal phantoms.

But the moment Lin Shen uttered the word “kneel,” the golden character etched into his palm radiated intensely. Almost instantaneously, Yan Li’s body, entirely beyond her control, dropped to its knees—even the Divine Soul hovering in midair fell straight down, kneeling before Lin Shen.

Yan Li’s pupils contracted, her quaking body alight with fury and disbelief.

She, the master of Immortal-Returning City, possessing an Ultimate form capable of rivaling a Great Emperor—how could she be forced to kneel with just a single command?

Yan Li’s anger and humiliation burned to their peak. Alongside it, she felt a deep-rooted terror, an emotion she had never known until now. She could not fathom what kind of power could possibly command such authority.

Desperately, Yan Li unleashed all her might, struggling to rise.

Yet it was as if the entire cosmos weighed down upon her. No matter how she resisted or what strength she summoned, her body was firmly pinned to the ground, unable to move—unable even to lift her head.

“How… how is this possible? Who… who is he?” A strange and unfamiliar sensation gripped Yan Li, forcing her to confront an emotion alien to her—fear.

For the first time in her life, Yan Li felt fear. For the first time, she realized her life was completely under another’s control.

“Impossible… completely impossible…! How could this cosmos contain a human of such might?” Yan Li protested internally, yet her disbelief was only matched by her powerlessness.

No matter how frantically she tried to unleash what she had long assumed to be unrivaled strength, it was futile.

Utterly futile.

Under the radiance of that golden light, both Yan Li, the Divine Soul of King Yanluo, and her Divine Soul knelt helplessly, unable even to raise their heads.
