Chapter 1021 – Vermillion Bird Awakening

The origin energy filled with flames entered Wang Lin’s origin soul, and Wang Lin commanded his ancient thunder dragon origin soul to absorb it. The moment he absorbed it, intense pain came from his origin soul.

Wang Lin clenched his teeth and endured all of this. He lost his sense of time.

After an unknown amount of time passed, the pain in his origin soul slowly disappeared. The origin energy inside the flame slowly fused with his origin soul and began flowing normally.

Wang Lin opened his tired eyes. The moment he opened them, the sea of flames within 30 feet of him went back into his pores and returned to his body.

However, Wang Lin only felt his body warm up this time, and the flames quickly fused with his origin energy.

“My origin energy increased a bit… Although this method is dangerous, it could work!” Wang Lin took a deep breath and closed his eyes. After 15 minutes, he stood up. Although he still looked tired, he walked outside the black tower!

The outside was a world of flames, and black gas covered the sky. This time Wang Lin stayed outside for a bit longer than before. His right hand reached out and grabbed a flame the size of a baby’s fist before he returned back into the tower.

Ignoring the flames that surrounded the tower once more, Wang Lin sat down. He stared at the flame in his hand and then devoured it!

Time slowly passed like this. In order to restore the origin energy in his body, he endured the pain. He continued to extract the flames from the sea of flames and integrated it with his origin energy.

At first he could only absorb small flames the size of a baby’s fist, but now he was taking the flames the size of a head. Wang Lin no longer needed to swallow it; all he had to do now was inhale to absorb all the flames.

Anyone knew Wang Lin would have a hard time recognizing the person inside the tower. He had already become very thin due to the long period of time where he absorbed devilish energy. And now, cracks covered his skin, making his appearance extremely terrifying.

His hair was completely dry without any shine, but his eyes were becoming bright and brighter. If anyone saw Wang Lin’s gaze, they would feel intense heat that would burn them to ashes.

What was really strange what happened between Wang Lin’s eyebrows. A few days ago, after he absorbed a certain amount of flames, Wang Lin felt something change between his eyebrows. This feeling came from the Vermillion Bird mark!

“I didn’t think that absorbing this flame would not only would my origin energy recover, but also create this heat… However, the heat in my body seems to be different from Qing Lin’s Burn the Heavens spell…” Wang Lin opened his eyes and touched the area between his eyebrows.

“I originally intended to absorb the flames to recover my origin energy, but now it seems the more I absorb, the more it will benefit me…” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he stood up and slowly walked forward.

After he stepped out of the black tower, the flames charged at him like raging waves. Wang Lin remained calm and let the flames sweep by and surround him.

Wang Lin stood within the flames and calmly walked forward.

He wasn’t very fast, but it very amazing for him to walk through this sea of flames. If Ling Tianhou was here, he would be shocked to see Wang Lin right now!

Even Ling Tianhou couldn’t walk through this sea of flames this casually!

Wang Lin calmly walked for 15 minutes before he stopped. This was his limit. The further he went, the stronger the flames were, and the hotter it became.

After looking at the sea of flames before him, Wang Lin sat down and stretched open his arms. Then two strands of flames began to gather from both sides and formed a ball of fire the size of his body.

Wang Lin opened his mouth and inhaled. The ball of fire rapidly shrank until it completely disappeared into Wang Lin’s mouth. A large amount of heat came from Wang Lin’s body, causing the surrounding flames to go crazy and completely submerge Wang Lin.

After three days, the flames around Wang Lin suddenly expanded outwards and Wang Lin slowly stood up. His skin was even more chapped and his eyes were even brighter. A terrifying aura came out of his body and merged with the surrounding flames. This produced an unimaginable amount of heat.

“Still missing a little….” Wang Lin muttered to himself as he touched the spot between his eyebrows and walked forward. As he moved forward, the black tower disappeared from view.

Time began to pass once more as Wang Lin moved forward. Whenever he reached his limit, he would sit down to cultivate, and once he had the strength to resist the flames, he continued moving forward.

In the blink of an eye, four months passed!

Wang Lin was now far away from the black tower. Looking around, he was surrounded by a sea of monstrous flames. The heat produced by this sea of flames could incinerate all life.

The cracks on Wang Lin’s skin had broken and new skin had appeared underneath. However, soon, the cracks covered his skin once more.

“The heat here should be enough.” On this day, Wang Lin stopped and inhaled deeply. As he inhaled, the sea of flames before him moved. A lot of the flames entered his body as he inhaled.

However, this time Wang Lin didn’t fuse the flames with his origin energy or his origin soul. Instead, he moved all of it without reservation toward the mark between his eyebrows!

All of it went into the mark, making it much more visible and life-like! The Vermillion Bird mark!

The shape of this mark was rapidly changing during these months since it first appeared. As Wang Lin absorbed more flames, the mark changed rapidly. What started out as just a mark was slowly turning into a real Vermillion Bird!

It was as if there was a Vermillion Bird that was rapidly growing. It continued to solidify and was ready to break free from the mark!

“Not enough!” Wang Lin suddenly opened his arms and swept the area. All of the flames were pulled toward him and surrounded his body. Soon, all of the flames entered Wang Lin’s body through his pores.

As the endless flames entered his body, Wang Lin pushed all of into the mark between his eyebrows. The mark emitted an intense red glow.

Wang Lin jumped into the sky as the red light shined. The flames from the ground followed him and continued to enter his body. If you looked from a distance, it was a very shocking scene!

“Still not enough!” Wang Lin’s eyes revealed a strange light as his arms opened and reached out. It was as if he was hugging the sea of flames, and his origin energy spread out. As Wang Lin’s origin energy spread out, another sea of flames appeared in the sky.

This sea of flames was created by the origin energy inside Wang Lin’s body. This sea of flames created suction force and seemed to resonate with the flames on the ground. All of the flames on the ground rushed up and entered Wang Lin’s body.

As the flames on the ground moved, endless flames began to gather from all directions. It was as if there was a black hole here that was absorbing all the flames in the black sand desert.

Large amounts of flames continued to enter his body and made their way to the mark between Wang Lin’s eyebrows. When the red light from the mark reached a limit, a fiery red Vermillion Bird formed!

The moment the Vermillion Bird appeared, a heaven-shaking cry that could tear the void apart appeared within this bottle world.

This was the cry of the Vermillion Bird, a cry that shook the heavens. It was the awakening cry as a member of the Vermillion Bird series for Wang Lin!

This fiery red Vermillion Bird was very majestic and filled with intelligence. The moment it appeared and let out a cry, all of the flames within the black sand desert became crazy.

The boundless flames charged at the Vermillion Bird next to Wang Lin at an unimaginable speed!

The mark had awakened and the Vermillion Bird spirit had appeared! In the past, the awakening was a big deal in the Four Divine Sect! Anyone that was part of the Vermillion Bird series that had awakened would likely become one of the four divine emperors if there were no accidents!

At this moment, Wang Lin was the only one of the Vermillion Bird series to awaken! This was assuming that no one else among the Vermillion Bird series had awakened!

That cry of the Vermillion Bird didn’t only shake the realm Wang Lin was in! At this moment, all the other realms within the bottle world heard this shocking Vermillion Bird cry!

Ling Tianhou was sitting inside the black tower of his realm and cultivating. However, at this moment, an unimaginable Vermillion Bird cry echoed across the realm. It even caused the world to tremble.

Ling Tianhou suddenly opened his eyes and revealed unimaginable shock!

“The cry of the Vermillion Bird!”

The All-Seer was floating in the air while wearing all white. He looked at the sky and divinated. His eyes became brighter and brighter and a smile appeared on his face while he muttered, “So it’s like this…”

However, before he could finish speaking, the cry of a Vermillion Bird instantly arrived and echoed violently.

This sudden cry of Vermillion Bird immediately caused the All-Seer’s calculations to shatter. The realm he was in trembled and the sky changed violently. In a rare moment, the All-Seer’s expression changed!

“Impossible!”

Chapter 1022 – Break (1)

The All-Seer wasn’t the only one with this reaction. In another realm inside the bottle world, Master Void, the junior apprentice brother of the Alliance’s head elder, Master Zhong Xuan, was moving on a green cloud. He was holding a purple and green jade. The jade shined and lit up everything within countless kilometers.

Even if you were very far away, you would still clearly see and purple and green light.

Master Void wasn’t by himself. He was a very high level cultivator, and in this year of time, he had already broken the first realm he was in. He had continued to break through dozens of realms in this bottle world!

The beautiful middle-aged woman and her four disciples were behind him!

“If I’m not wrong, this is Celestial Emperor Qing Lin’s famous bottle world! It is rumored that Qing Lin killed 39 members of the invading Tattoo Clan and took their holy relics. Then he refined them with a powerful spell to create a world that he merged into the bottle!

“It is unknown what it did exactly, but according to the Alliance’s records, this bottle is what Qing Lin used to collect celestial spiritual energy. It was also rumored that this treasure could break the world seal around the four star systems!”

Master Void spoke while looking at the purple and green jade in his hand.

The beautiful middle-aged woman nodded and was about to speak when the sky suddenly trembled. A huge change was occurring in the sky, and even the earth was trembling.

At the same time, a cry echoed from all directions. It was as if the cry had torn the world apart and rushed in without any reservations!

The Vermillion Bird cry echoed across the world!

The moment the beautiful middle-aged woman heard the Vermillion Bird cry, her expression changed greatly. Not only her, but the girl in pink who was suspected of being the Brilliant Void Saintess revealed a chilly expression.

Master Void’s pupils suddenly shrank!

“Vermillion Bird cry? Vermillion Bird awakening!!! Could it be the junior with the Vermillion Bird mark that you mentioned?”

The beautiful middle-aged woman’s face was filled with shock, and there was a trace of anxiety on her face when she quickly said, “When I saw him before, he only had the Vermillion Bird mark, and it was completely sealed. It’s impossible to awaken it in such a short period of time!”

“Vermillion Bird awakening…. This can be a heaven-shaking event in the Four Divine Sect… The Four Divine Sect…” There was a trace of killing intent in Master Void’s eyes. He wouldn’t allow any person with an awakened mark to appear. He could never forget the unimaginable fierce and bitter battle they had against the Four Divine Sect for control of the Brilliant Void. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Alliance had obtained more of the inheritances and relics from the Rain Celestial Realm and they had the help of the Brilliant Void Saintess, the current Alliance Star System would’ve been renamed to the Four Divine Star System!

Despite having such a powerful force, the Alliance still couldn’t destroy the Four Divine Sect completely. When he thought about how terrifying the Four Divine Emperors were, the killing intent in Master Void’s eyes became even stronger.

“If this person has successfully awakened and leaves the Celestial Spirit Heaven Realm, the Four Divine Sect will definitely find him as soon as possible. Then they will bring him back for the inheritance and place him under heavy protection!

“We can’t allow this to happen. If he didn’t die from the awakening, we must destroy him here!”

The Vermillion Bird cry penetrated through this bottle world with a powerful momentum!!

All 99 realms of the bottle world were filled with the Vermillion Bird cry!

In one black sand desert sat a man. He was dressed in black and endless devilish energy came from the desert and entered his body.

He had been sitting here for a very long time. He had decided to sit down and absorb the devilish energy here almost from the moment he entered.

He had dense devilish energy around him, but at this moment, the Vermillion Bird cry echoed. The devilish energy around the man suddenly collapsed and scattered.

The man in black suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the sky with a gloomy gaze.

When the Vermillion Bird cry echoed, the man’s eyes shined brightly and a dragon mark appeared between his eyebrows. It was the mark of a black dragon!

“He awakened? If he can survive it, he can battle me!” The man silently pondered and the black gas quickly covered up the mark between his eyebrows. It was very well-hidden, so even if someone had higher cultivation level than him, it would be very difficult to notice it unless the other person had similar bloodline.

Situ Nan was also absorbing devilish energy inside the bottle world!

Situ Nan felt as if he had arrived at a holy land. More than half of the black sand in his realm had turned to dust. His arrogant laugh echoed across the world and there was a vortex of devilish energy around him.

Situ Nan’s long hair flowed strangely within the center of this vortex, and he was completely covered in devilish energy. As he absorbed the devilish energy, more sand would collapse, releasing devilish energy that entered his body.

“Delightful! Delightful! I didn’t expect this kind of place have this kind of devilish energy. It is the best tonic for this old man! Unfortunately, I can’t absorb too much. When I have enough, I’ll need to find Wang Lin. I wonder how he is right now!” Situ Nan’s eyes lit up and he absorbed like crazy.

The Vermillion Bird cry echoed across the world and caused the devilish energy vortex around Situ Nan to suddenly collapse.

Situ Nan suddenly raised his head, revealing a ferocious and impatient expression. However, his eyes than lit up and he began to laugh.

“This bird cry contains Wang Lin’s aura. It seems little Lin didn’t die. He made me worried for nothing!”

There was another person in the bottle world! This person had a bald head, and he walked through the black sand desert with a demonic smile. His body would often flicker and break through the realm. Although he would reappear in the black sand desert again, it was already another realm!

“That Lonely Desert Smoke painting should be within these few realms! Ancient Devil Ta Jia… Although I, Bei Lou, am not complete, I have recovered about 80% of my power. This time, you won’t have the same chance you did back then!”

Bei Lou’s right eye lit up. There were seven shining star filled with demonic energy in his right eye.

Ancient gods had their stars between their eyebrows, ancient demons had them in their right eye, and ancient devils had them in their left eye!

The seven ancient demon stars rotated rapidly. Just as he raised his foot, the Vermillion Bird cry echoed across the world. The devilish energy around Bei Lou fluctuated and he stopped between two realms and then looked up.

“The Vermillion Bird of the four Great Divine Beasts in the sealed realm…” Bei Lou pondered for a moment before the stars in his right eye disappeared. Then, with a step, he disappeared without a trace.

The people inside the bottle world were shocked by the Vermillion Bird cry, and they all had different thoughts on this matter. Aside from them, something was happening to those outside the bottle!

The person inside the devilish energy sitting on the bridge suddenly opened his eyes. Dense devilish energy quickly spread from his body.

Those hideous shadows in the river under the bridge began to tremble as they feared the spread of the devilish energy from the person on the bridge.

The white jade bottle before the person inside mist trembled when the bursts of the Vermillion Bird cry came from within. The trembling reached a peak and the cry was about to pierce through!

“Damn it, how could a sealed realm Vermillion Bird have entered?!” The sound of teeth gnashing could be heard from inside the black mist. He raised his right hand and countless strands of devilish energy appeared around his finger. With a point of his finger, all the devilish energy entered the bottle.

In the bottle world, the sea of flames around Wang Lin all rushed up toward the Vermillion Bird.

This Vermillion Bird was about 100 feet tall and completely red. When its wings opened, it was hundreds of feet wide. Its flaming tail made it look even more majestic!

In particular, the eyes of this Vermillion Bird revealed a cold gaze; it was exactly the same as Wang Lin’s gaze.

The sea of flames that covered the world began to gather, and in the blink of an eye, it was absorbed by the Vermillion Bird. It was impossible to tell if the Vermillion Bird was spitting out the sea of flames or if the sea of flames was being absorbed by the Vermillion Bird.

From a distance, the sea of flames surged from all directions. The Vermillion Bird cry echoed once more, and this time it was filled with joy.

As this cry echoed, all of the flames that covered the millions of kilometers within the realm gathered toward him like crazy.

The scope of the flames was simply too large. The heat produced by the gathering of these flames was enough to kill anything!

Wang Lin’s cracked skin was hit by this unimaginable temperature. His skin shattered and fell off in this heat, revealing new flesh, but soon cracks appeared again.

It was if all the flames had rushed into his body and caused the temperature inside his body to reach an unimaginable degree. If it was before, Wang Lin would’ve been burnt to ashes, but after the Vermillion Bird had awakened, it was something he could withstand.

His eyes shined brightly and his origin energy cycled like crazy, absorbing the heat. Soon, the temperature of his origin energy had reached an unimaginable degree!

This kind of heat could destroy any flesh no matter how tough it was. This was the true difficulty of the Vermillion Bird awakening! Over the countless years, there were many Vermillion Bird awakenings in the Four Divine Sect. However, at the moment of awakening, a majority of the ones who did so couldn’t withstand the heat and turned to ashes.

Chapter 1022.1 – Break (2)

In the Four Divine Sect, there was an ancient phrase that was passed down from ancient times. This phrase encompassed the inheritances of the Four Divine Sect!

The Four Divine Awaken, the Black Tortoise is the fastest, the White Tiger is the most fierce, the Azure Dragon is the strongest, and the Vermillion Bird is the most difficult!

In the Four Divine Sect, the Black Tortoise was not lacking in people who awakened, as their awakening had the lowest risk! Those that awakened the White Tiger were often extremely fierce. The ones that awakened it were those that had slaughtered countless people!

The Azure Dragon was the most powerful. Those that awakened it were rare, but they rarely failed. Once they awakened, they would eventually become the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor!

In the old past, if it wasn’t for the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor mysteriously disappearing and the Vermillion Bird Holy Emperor facing his third Heaven’s Blight, meaning he couldn’t use his full cultivation, the war with the Alliance might have been very different!

The Vermillion Bird was the most difficult to awaken among the Four Divine Sect; not even the Azure Dragon could compare. The ones that successfully awakened and survived the trials to become a Divine Emperor were simply too few!

Those who were extremely talented and had the legendary Vermillion Bird physique had to gather enough power of flame through cultivation to activate their Vermillion Bird awakening! Only then would they be able to withstand the unimaginable heat and not die during the awakening!

If one didn’t have the Vermillion Bird physique, they couldn’t achieve an internal awakening and would have to rely on an external force to awaken. In the long history of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect, no one had succeeded in using this method!

Wang Lin’s awakening was classified as an external force awakening. As the flames gathered, the heat became even stronger. If not for his ancient god body, he would have already turned to dust!

No one had awakened using external force in all of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect’s history. However, the Vermillion Bird mark had never been given to an ancient god who was able to withstand the awakening with their body!

Wang Lin was currently enduring this incredible heat with his 5-star royal ancient god body. When his skin cracked, new flesh replaced it repeatedly. This continued until his ancient god body gradually adapted to this high temperature!

The flames covered the area, and all the flames from the realm rushed over. As the Vermillion Bird absorbed the flames, it soon formed a giant ball of fire!

The moment the ball of fire formed, it surrounded Wang Lin and the Vermillion Bird.

At this instant, the Vermillion Bird cried once more, and its red body flew out from Wang Lin’s eyebrows and wrapped around his body. Soon, it turned into a life-like tattoo that spread across Wang Lin’s upper body!

Wang Lin’s skin was covered in cracks right now. Combined with the red Vermillion Bird tattoo, he looked unexpectedly gorgeous! Especially his eyes, which were as bright as the stars!

However, it was destined that no one could see this. The ball of fire quickly devoured Wang Lin and grew bigger.

Soon, a destructive aura appeared, and as the flames gathered, the ball of fire became larger and larger!

It was very difficult to describe what was happening. The sea of flames gathered up toward the ball of fire in the sky. If one looked from high enough, they would see that the sea of flames was shrinking!

This endless sea of flames was rapidly shrinking with the ball of fire as the center. As more flames entered the ball of fire, the shrinking speed reached a limit.

After the sea of flames shrank, the mirror-like white earth was exposed!

The ball of fire became larger and larger until it reached the sky! The fire in realm diminished as almost all the flames in the realm had been gathered into the ball of fire!

At this moment, there were no flames left beside the ball of fire. The endless flames summoned by Ming Hai’s Burn the Heaven were all inside the ball of fire!

At this moment, the black smoke that covered sky gathered around the ball of fire. If anyone saw this scene, their mind would be shaken!

The moment the smoke surrounded the ball of fire, large amounts of devilish energy appeared in the sky. It turned into black mist and rushed over.

As the devilish energy descended, it gathered to form a giant devilish shadow. It was very large and it had bloodthirsty eyes. It rushed directly at the ball of fire.

However, it immediately felt the heat from the ball of fire. It stopped and retreated for a bit, then it stared at the ball of fire and the killing intent in its eyes became even stronger.

Wang Lin had his eyes closed inside the giant ball of fire. The Vermillion Bird tattoo on his upper body shined brightly as large amount of flames were absorbed and devoured by Wang Lin’s body.

This caused Wang Lin’s body to strengthen and the temperature to reach a new height. This even caused Wang Lin’s origin energy to change and contain a terrifying heat.

At this instant, Wang Lin’s closed eyes suddenly opened. The moment his eyes opened, all of the cracks on skin shattered, revealing his slightly red skin!

An unimaginable storm set off when Wang Lin opened his eyes! The Vermillion Bird tattoo flew off of his body and rapidly rotated around him.

The giant ball of fire that surrounded Wang Lin shrank at an unimaginable speed and entered Wang Lin’s body. The devilish figure immediately moved, and devilish energy filled the world while it chased after the shrinking ball of fire!

The giant ball of fire rapidly shrank in a short period of time, followed by a loud rumble. Then all of it completely entered Wang Lin’s body!

At this moment, there was not a single trace of flame left in the realm Wang Lin was in!

Wang Lin’s figure appeared in the world once more after he absorbed the last trace of flame! His red skin, the Vermillion Bird, and his bright, burning eyes made Wang Lin look like the Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor!

The moment the flames dissipated, the devilish shadow closed in. Before it even got close, endless devilish energy turned into black mist that wanted to surround Wang Lin and tear him into pieces!

However, just as the devilish shadow closed in, flames appeared in Wang Lin’s eyes. After the flames appeared in his eyes, a terrifying fire that could destroy the world erupted from his body!

Wang Lin had devoured too much flame. The flames that erupted from his body were the leftover flames after his body had absorbed enough. They would harm his body if he kept them inside, so he could only release them!

The heat from this sea of fire was different from Burn the Heavens. Not only did it contain the power of Burn the Heavens, it also contained a sliver of the Vermillion Bird’s Divine Flame!

Now it erupted and quickly expanded in a ring. The sea of flames was so large that it covered the sky and earth. As it spread, the devilish shadow sent by the man hidden in the black mist collided head on with the sea of flames!

A miserable scream came from the devilish shadow. Fear filled its eyes and he rapidly retreat!

However, it was too late!

The moment it retreated, the sea of flames was like an angry wave that submerged the devilish shadow. The devilish shadow’s roar echoed inside the sea of flames and rapidly dissipated. When only a small fragment remained, it finally broke free of the sea of flames and was going to flee!

However, it underestimated the power of the sea of flames. The heat the sea of flame possessed combined with the Divine Flame from the Vermillion Bird awakening had made it even stronger than Burn the Heavens!

At this moment, it spread in all directions. What it burned wasn’t just the realm Wang Lin was in, but all the realms inside this bottle!

As the sea of flames raged, cracks appeared in the sky and suddenly collapsed! This collapse wasn’t just this realm, but as the flames expanded, it was as if it was scraping layers of the world. Every place it passed was disintegrated!

After it collapsed, another realm in the bottle world was revealed!

That realm was filled with black sand, but a large amount of flames rushed into it. The flames burned everything, and this realm began to collapse as well!

This realm also disintegrated!

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!

The heaven-shaking rumbles echoed as the realms within the bottle world collapsed one after another. After one realm collapsed, the flames would rush into the next realm, causing its collapse!

The remaining devilish shadow was able to escape from the flame in one realm, but it couldn’t escape through all 99 realms. After 13 realms had collapsed, that devilish shadow let out a miserable scream before it was extinguished.

However, this collapse still didn’t end, it was just the start! As the flames continued to spread, it was as if a storm was set off, and the realms collapsed one by one!

At this moment, another realm collapsed, and Situ Nan’s angry roar came from inside!

“What damn bastard dares to stop this old man from cultivating?!” Just as he shouted, he immediately let out a scream and ran from the sea of flames.

“Damn it, what kind of fire is this!?!”

The moment Situ Nan shouted, the realm he was in collapsed, revealing the next realm!

Ling Tianhou stared at the sky that seemed to have been torn open by a hair of hands, and the endless flames descended from the sky. His scalp felt numb and he quickly dodged the sea of flames without any hesitation!

The sea of flames penetrated across the world like an unstoppable force, crushing all boundaries and barriers. This force kept piercing up from where Wang Lin was, and the sounds of the realms inside the bottle shattering were heaven-shaking!

The All-Seer’s figure appeared in the collapsed sky. He stared at everyone before him and silently pondered. The moment the sea of flames swept by, he took a step to the side and the sea of flames passed right by him.

Ling Tianhou, Situ Nan, and the All-Seer weren’t the only ones who who felt the power of this sea of flames. Everyone else in the 99 realms felt it.

One by one, the realms collapsed, and more people began to appear within the collapsed space. Big Head, the three Chen brothers, the old man on the gourd, the man in black, and even Master Void!

However, this collapse didn’t end; it continued to spread. This collapse was infused with the power of every single realm, and it created a force that no one could stop. It became stronger and stronger as it charged toward the last realm in the bottle world!

After this realm was destroyed, they could leave this white jade bottle!

Chapter 1023 – Escape by Breaking the Bottle

The power of the sea of flames was powerful beyond Wang Lin’s imagination. The flames in his eyes gradually disappeared. When the realms within the bottles collapsed, he instantly moved to retrieve the bag and the yellow crystal given to him by the mysterious person that were left in the black tower.

He didn’t have time to check the yellow crystal. Just as he put the crystal inside his bag, the sea of flames charged at the last realm of the bottle world!

The sea of flame spread across 98 realms. It gathered the power of those 98 realms into an unstoppable force that collided with the last barrier.

An earth-shattering sound echoed across every part of the bottle, and a powerful heat wave flooded the world! The power of this sea of flames was already stronger than Ming Hai’s Burn the Heavens! Wang Lin had only achieved this effect because he had absorbed too much fire and had to release it. The fire underwent a transformation through his body, and it will be impossible for him to display this kind of power again.

Unless someone makes another inextinguishable sea of flames for Wang Lin to absorb until he reaches his limit and then releases it all again.

The red glow on Wang Lin’s body gradually faded, but the Vermillion Bird tattoo was scarlet red. This gave him an unspeakable aura.　

The tail feathers of the Vermillion Bird were wrapped around his neck and stopped between his eyebrows as if it was fused with his black hair. From a distance, it looked as if there was a purple flame around his black hair.

The Vermillion Bird awakening didn’t increase Wang Lin’s cultivation level, but it changed the origin energy inside his body. The extreme heat contained within his origin energy made all of Wang Lin’s spells terrifying!

His ancient god body had been adapting to the flames, so now he could summon flames with just a wave of his hand!

Although Wang Lin was only at the mid stage of Nirvana Scryer, he was the most powerful Nirvana Scryer cultivator. Combined with his ancient god body, even late Nirvana Cleanser cultivators have a headache dealing with his powerful flame spells and body!

However, his ancient god body was only at five stars, so there was a limit to the power he could bring out. Displaying the power of a mid stage Nirvana Cleanser cultivator was his limit.

Wang Lin wanted the power to battle late stage Nirvana Cleanser cultivators, but he would have to reach the late stage Nirvana Cleanser to do so!

After all, the difference between each small step within the second step was very large. Even though Wang Lin had the power of an ancient god, there were some gaps that couldn’t be crossed so easily, like the gap between mid stage and late stage Nirvana Cleanser!

Blood Ancestor had stayed at the mid stage of Nirvana Cleanser for a long time and wasn’t able to reach late stage. This shows how difficult it was!

In truth, unless one had great fortune, it was very difficult for cultivators to reach the late stage and the peak of the late stage of Nirvana Cleanser. Aside from an increase in your own domain, you’d have to learn how to control the laws of the world.

Late stage Nirvana Cleanser requires the fusion of law and your domain. This will reach a peak at the peak of the late stage of Nirvana Cleanser until you enter the dream of most cultivators, Nirvana Shatterer… the highest known level of cultivation!

At this moment, the sea of flames rushed within the bottle world and constantly collided with the last realm. Every time it collided with the last realm, the bottle would tremble.

Endless flames roared as they rushed at the last realm. Popping sounds came from the last realm and then it finally collapsed!

It was as if the sky was broken into pieces. It was like a piece of paper that was torn apart and blown away. Ancient Demon Bei Lou’s figure appeared in the last realm!

He was holding a grey scroll in his right hand. Dense celestial spiritual energy came out of the scroll, rushing at Bei Lou. It was as if this scroll had a spirit, and it was unwilling to be controlled by the ancient demon, so it had to struggle.

Bei Lou’s cold gaze penetrated the shattered last realm and swept by everyone who was in the bottle until his gaze landed on Wang Lin.

At this moment, the celestial spiritual energy from the scroll became even stronger, and it was as if a roar had come from the scroll. Bei Lou let out a cold snort and his right hand mercilessly squeezed. The seven stars in his right eye flashed and a large amount of demonic energy immediately rushed into the scroll in his right hand.

Popping sounds came from the scroll as if all the seals on it were broken. The scroll let out an unyielding roar, but soon a green light immediately cover the entire scroll.

The roar disappeared, and the scroll that gave off dense celestial spiritual energy lost all its celestial spiritual energy. Instead, it was replaced with endless demonic energy.

Its color changed from grey to green!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The sky disappeared and all 99 realms in the bottle world disintegrated. It was as if everyone had returned to the origin of the universe; this place was filled with chaos and mist.

This mist churned and merged with the flames. It seemed like oil was poured into the flame, as it became even more intense and charged for the outside world!

Endless flames filled with mist created an unimaginable heat. This force rumbled through the world and charged toward the top of this void!

The bottle before the person in the black mist above the wooden bridge turned red and emitted a high temperature. The cork at the mouth of the bottle trembled intensely, as if there was a mysterious force that was about to break free.

The person in the fog revealed a cold gaze. He then lifted his dried right hand and pointed at the wooden cork. Devilish energy immediately came out of his finger and entered the bottle through the cork.

However, just as the devilish energy was about to enter the bottle through the cork, a heaven-shaking explosion suddenly appeared within the Celestial Emperor Cave!

As the sound echoed, the cork in the mouth of the white jade bottle shattered into countless pieces and spewed upward like a mountain.

This force was so powerful that it created a huge gust of wind and blew the black mist back three inches!

This revealed a blurred figure!

It was easy to see a set of black armor with complex runes engraved on it. It gave off cold devilish energy into the world.

His dried finger was bounced back, and the cork exploded! Two gloomy eyes flashed behind the helmet and landed on the bottle.

As the cork shattered, a fiery red flame came out of the opening. Along with the flame came the unimaginable heat!

Ordinary people couldn’t even imagine what had happened. It was as if the white jade bottle had turned into a volcano, and at this moment, the volcano had erupted. Large amounts of flame were spread everywhere!

The temperature of this flame was too high. The moment it appeared, the wooden bridge began to burn. Even the river below the bridge quickly dried up, revealing the river bed. The ferocious beasts screamed as they turned into a mist of blood.

That wooden bridge suddenly began to burn and turned into ashes!

The person inside the mist was inside a courtyard. There were still many pavilions within the courtyard, and there was some bamboo not far away. This originally refreshing place was suddenly filled with devilish energy and immediately changed. The pavilions became grim, the bamboo turned black, and even the grass changed drastically!

However, it didn’t matter if it was the Celestial Realm or a devilish realm. All of it was immediately turned to ashes before the sea of flames!

Even the person inside the mist was affected by the sudden appearance of the sea of flames. The black mist was pushed back hundreds of feet, and his figure was revealed!

His pale hair floated under him blackish purple armor. The moment the flame appeared, he quickly jumped into the air with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the entrance of the bottle following the sea of flames. He was bold and holding a green scroll. It was Ancient Demon Bei Lou.

He revealed a smile as he looked the person in the armor and shook his head. “A former member of the Celestial Emperor’s four guards, Savage Blade, is now merely a scattered devil for the ancient devil. Pitiful!”

The All-Seer, Ling Tianhou, Master Void, Situ Nan, and the beautiful middle-aged woman appeared one after the other behind Bei Lou!

The old man on the gourd, the man in black with the hidden dragon mark, the three Chen brothers, and Big Head flew out of the bottle as well. Then there was the woman covered in devilish energy and Elder Sun, who had the Star-Marked Sable.

Everyone who had entered the celestial cave aside from Wang Lin and the Celestial Cloud Cultivation Couple had appeared!

At this moment, all of the flames had come out of the white jade bottle. Following that, another heat wave rushed out and Wang Lin jumped out from inside! His eyes were like flames as he looked around.

When Wang Lin appeared, he immediately noticed everyone’s gazes land on him like lightning.

Master Void’s expression was neutral, but when he saw Wang Lin, his heart filled with killing intent. Ling Tianhou had a complex expression. The more he interacted with Wang Lin, the more he felt like he couldn’t underestimate Wang Lin.

The All-Seer’s brow wrinkled slightly but soon relaxed.

As for the other people, they all had various expressions. Whether it was the beautiful middle-aged woman or her four disciples or the man in black, they all had different gazes toward Wang Lin.

Even the armored scattered devil looked at Wang Lin with a chilly gaze.

Everyone knew where that shocking sea of flames came from! They now all remembered Wang Lin, who they originally didn’t consider worth worrying about.

The flames still surrounded the area and seemed to want to burn everything to ashes. The moment everyone appeared, the man in the devilish armor revealed a bloodthirsty smile. He flew into the air and opened his arms. Rich devilish energy erupted from his armor.

The devilish energy formed two vortexes in his hands and floated upwards.

Chapter 1024 – She, the Buried Celestial

“I have already waited for you all for a long time…. I sacrificed my flesh and blood to the ancients. My soul will form the void. I’ll become the ancient devil soul. I, ancient devil Ta’s scattered devil, use this devilish energy to borrow the power of the Tattoo Clan’s holy item to open the Celestial Burial Pool!”

This armored scattered devil revealed a strange smile as his voice echoed. The he raised his feet and ruthlessly stomped down!

when the scattered devil stomped, there was a loud bang. The area around everyone had already been burnt to ruins by the flames. At this moment, cracks began to appear on the ground.

More and more cracks appeared, and they soon linked together. After a series of popping sounds, the ground collapsed!

It was as if the scattered devil’s foot had shattered the earth. When the ground collapsed, a powerful suction force came from below. There was unexpectedly another world below the earth!

It was a huge vortex that was large enough to cover the entire ground here. Ghostly wails came from inside the vortex as if this was the nether world!

“Your arrival has already been predicted by lord Ta Jia. Celestial Emperor Qing Lin’s burial ground was deliberately prepared for you all! This old man will wait for you down there!” The scattered devil’s laugh echoed within the dense, black mist.

The ground collapsed, and the powerful suction force was like a big mouth that devoured everything here!

The scattered devil was the first to be taken in by the vortex. His laughter gradually faded until it disappeared.

Almost everyone was aghast at the situation. No one expected that they would face such a crisis after leaving the bottle world!

Everyone felt their bodies get firmly gripped by a giant hand and dragged down!

The three Chen brothers were the closest. They weren’t able to resist the suction force at all and were immediately sucked into the vortex.

Big Head struggled for a bit but was also pulled in.

As for the four female disciples of the beautiful middle-aged woman, they had the lowest cultivation levels. Wang Lin had tried to guess why the beautiful middle-aged woman would bring the four of them here.

Aside from the girl in pink who was suspected to be the Brilliant Void Saintess, the expressions of the remaining three changed. They couldn’t resist at all when they were sucked in.

One of the girls’ bodies shattered due to the suction force being too strong and turned into a mist of blood.

Her origin soul flew out of the blood mist in terror. However, countless mournful souls flew out from the vortex and surrounding her origin soul. They began to devour her like crazy.

Even her miserable screams seemed to have been sucked away by the vortex and disappeared.

Wang Lin also felt the unimaginable force. Fortunately, he had lived in the depths of the Demon Spirit Land for a long time, where there was also a powerful suction force, so he wasn’t shocked. When the suction force surrounded him, his origin energy surrounded his body and he ruthlessly stomped his foot!

Large amounts of flames came from his foot and pushed him up. Although the flames were absorbed the moment they appeared, Wang Lin’s body charged up 100 feet.

Ancient Demon Bei Lou chuckled and completely ignored the suction from the vortex. His body flickered and appeared in the distance.

His right eye shined and a powerful demonic force surrounded him. He blew before him and ripples appeared before him. Before he walked into the ripples, he turned around and looked at everyone struggling inside the vortex. He especially looked at Wang Lin and smiled. “Little friend Wang Lin, since you let his old man come in, I won’t mistreat you. I’ll tell you the way out. This pool was named the Celestial Burial Pool by Celestial Emperor Qing Lin. The amount of celestials that died in there can’t be counted. If you are inadvertently sucked in, I’m afraid you will die. The only choice is to break free as soon as possible!”

Bei Lou’s swords echoed through the vortex. Wang Lin silently pondered before he slapped his bag of holding and more than 10 big swords flew out. They rotated around him, creating a counter force that worked with his origin energy and the flames to resist the suction force.

However, just at this moment, an angry roar came from inside the vortex. This roar was heaven-shaking, and when it came out, it caused the suction force of the vortex to become even stronger!

This roar contained something that shocked everyone’s minds! After the roar was heard, countless tattoos came out from the vortex.

These tattoos were completely blood red, and some were connected to pieces of flesh. It was as if someone had just carved them out of their owners’ bodies.

The moment Wang Lin saw these tattoos, he gasped. He recognized all these tattoos as the core tattoo of the Chosen Immortal Clan!

A vague figure slowly appeared from the depths of the vortex along with the angry roar and tattoos. As the figure slowly rose up, a monstrous, evil aura appeared!

This evil aura was so powerful that even Ling Tianhou’s body trembled. This vague figure made his scalp tingle! Even the All-Seer never made him feel like this; even Master Void couldn’t do this!

This had nothing to do with cultivation, it was a tremble from the soul, as if he had met his natural enemy!

One could only tell that the vague figure was a woman as she slowly rose out of the vortex. Her face gradually revealed two hollow and bloody eye sockets. Two streams of blood flowed out from the eye sockets.

Her eyes had been forcibly removed by someone!

Even the All-Seer revealed a trace of shock when he saw the figure!

“This… Could it be… her!!!”

Master Void’s pupils shrank when he looked at the woman in the vortex. He erupted his full cultivation without hesitation and struggled to pull the beautiful middle-aged woman and the girl in pink up.

“It’s her!!! It must be her! She was actually sealed here by Celestial Emperor Qing Lin!! Damn it, rumor has it she is dead, but Celestial Emperor Qing Lin actually didn’t kill her!!”

Master Void’s calmness disappeared completely. After figuring out the identity of the vague figure, he almost lost his wits. The Alliance knew a lot about the matter regarding the Celestial Realm. As one of the Alliance elders, he knew a lot of secrets others didn’t know about.

The moment the vague figure appeared, Elder Sun was struggling inside the suction force. However, when the evil aura appeared, even with his cultivation level, he couldn’t resist it. His origin energy stopped moving and he was sucked away by the vortex.

His eyes were filled with terror, and just as he was about to be pulled in, the Star-Marked Sable came out of his clothes. Its eyes were cold as it jumped off his body. The Star-Marked Sable was mysterious as it could step in the air to borrow force. It struggled to move upward and stared at Wang Lin with bright eyes.

At this moment, Bei Lou looked at the vague figure that was slowly appearing, and his right eye flashed and he muttered, “Old friend… I originally thought she only disappeared and was hiding somewhere, healing. I didn’t think Qing Lin had sealed her here… Qing Lin… He is very strong, very strong! If it wasn’t for the fact that he was seriously injured during the collapse of the Celestial Realm, Ta Jia and I wouldn’t have dared to have greedy thoughts about him!”

Staring at the vague figure, there was a hint of hesitation in Bei Lou’s eyes.

“Should I save her…” His eyes lit up as he carefully looked behind the vague figure, and he was shocked.

“Qing Lin is too vicious! He actually used that thing as the seal. Even if my power was at its peak, like it was back in the day, I might not be able to save her. I might even be caught as well. Forget it!”

After giving up on saving people, Bei Lou’s body flickered and slowly disappeared as he used his own unique method to leave this place.

Just at this moment, as the vague figure launched into the air, an evil aura enveloped everyone here. Situ Nan formed many seals and launched spells. However, at this moment, the vague figure raised its right hand and gently waved.

The evil intent here reached a peak and formed a vortex. Ling Tianhou’s body trembled and was pulled down.

Along with him was Situ Nan!

Wang Lin was flying up when he suddenly stopped and spread out his origin energy without hesitation, causing a sea of flames to appear around him. As more than a dozen swords rotated around Wang Lin, he charged at Situ Nan.

As the terrifying suction continued and the horrifying figure rose into the air, everyone who wasn’t sucked in was struggling to fly up. Only Wang Lin’s figure darted downward toward Situ Nan.

All of Situ Nan’s origin energy had stopped moving. He had a bitter smile on his face as he saw himself getting closer to the rising figure, and he muttered, “Damn it, this old man has always had good fortune. Am I really going to be stuck here this time?” Just as he spoke, he immediately saw Wang Lin charging at him.

Wang Lin’s origin energy moved like crazy, and he was covered in a sea of flames as he rushed down. The suction force immediately swept by and continued to devour the sea of flames around him.

Seeing Situ Nan moving further and further away, Wang Lin revealed a decisive gaze, then his origin energy exploded behind him and he shot down like a meteor.

As a result, his speed doubled and he instantly closed in on Situ Nan. Wang Lin was less than 10,000 feet from the vague figure. He immediately grabbed Situ Nan from a distance and then his origin energy exploded around him. The impact shot Wang Lin upwards.

Black blood came from the empty eyes of the vague figure. The blood entered the vortex and turned into a sea of blood. It gained monstrous momentum in the vortex and then surged upwards!

Chapter 1025 – Tattoo Clan Divine Ancestor

This black sea of blood moved with the vortex. From a distance, it looked like a blood fountain that wanted to devour the heavens, and it gave off a fishy smell.

That blood fountain was like a large, open mouth, and it continued to climb up. More than half of the 10,000 foot distance between it and Wang Lin was crossed in an instant.

Wang Lin held Situ Nan as his origin energy moved like crazy and the endless flames surrounded his body. His hand formed a seal and the dozen large swords entered the flames. The rotation of the swords stirred up the flames to resist the sea of blood and its smell.

As the sea of flames burned, crackling sounds could be heard. The evil aura was constantly being burned by the sea of flames, making it impossible for it to close in.

If the evil aura entered Wang Lin’s body, it would stop his origin energy flow. Although Wang Lin’s origin energy contained the Vermillion Bird Divine Flame, he didn’t dare to risk it.

Using the rotational force and the sea of flames allowed Wang Lin to barely struggle up 1,000 feet. He let out a roar and threw Situ Nan up.

Situ Nan’s body was thrown past Wang Lin. At the same time, Wang Lin sent a strand of origin energy into Situ Nan’s body.

Wang Lin’s origin energy contained the Vermillion Bird Divine Flame and was terrifyingly hot. Situ Nan’s cultivation had been affected by the evil aura, which was a powerful cold force that had frozen the movement of his origin energy.

When Wang Lin’s origin energy entered, the extreme heat eased the seal on Situ Nan’s origin energy. Situ Nan’s cultivation was not weak, and thanks to Wang Lin’s help, popping sounds came from his body and he forced himself to fly higher into the air.

If the vague figure was at its peak, just one strand of evil aura would’ve left Situ Nan and Wang Lin no chance to escape. However, the figure had been sealed here for countless years and Wang Lin’s Vermillion Bird Divine Flame was very pure, and thus they had a chance to break free.

Situ Nan’s long hair flowed and his origin energy resumed operation. Although there were still some issues, this critical moment wasn’t the time to heal. As he leaped upwards, his right hand formed a seal without hesitation and he reached down!

Five rays of golden light immediately shot out from his finger toward Wang Lin. The golden light formed a net that caught Wang Lin.

Situ Nan used all the force he could use at this moment and threw Wang Lin upwards!

Wang Lin had risked a lot by charging down to save Situ Nan, and he struggled to fly up. When he tossed Situ Nan, he couldn’t help but pause for a moment. This allowed the sea of blood to only be 1,000 feet away from him. The smell of blood rushed into his face and entered his nose.

The sea of blood was filled with mournful souls with elongated bodies stretching out from the vortex. They stared at Wang Lin as if they wanted to pull him into the sea of blood so he could never re-enter the reincarnation cycle.

Wang Lin clearly saw the hideous appearance of those souls, and his scalp tingled. Even more evil aura came from the vortex and spread toward Wang Lin.

Just at this moment, Situ Nan’s net arrived and surrounded Wang Lin. Situ Nan let out a roar and pulled up. Wang Lin borrowed this force to escape from the sea of blood. Just like this, the two of them helped each other and gradually gained distance from the sea of blood.

This could only happen between Wang Lin and Situ Nan; it would be impossible for anyone else to do this. Although it looked simple, if they didn’t have a complete understanding of each other, complete trust, and a perfect grasp of the timing, then any small mistake would have made it impossible for them to escape.

After all, everyone would mostly think of themselves during a moment of danger. Often times they would have to risk themselves to help another. As a result, not many cultivators were able to do this.

If Situ Nan was in danger, Wang Lin would do whatever he could to help. If Wang Lin was in trouble, Situ Nan would not hesitate to help! Even if this meant they were going to be facing great danger.

As Wang Lin and Situ Nan helped each other, Ling Tianhou’s body fell straight down due to the evil aura invading his body.

However, Ling Tianhou’s cultivation was stronger than Situ Nan’s, so as he fell, his cultivation recovered a bit. However, he was too close to the sea of blood. If he had access to his full cultivation, he could escape, but now his chances were low!

Just at this moment, the All-Seer, who was above the vortex, frowned before letting out a sigh. He waved his sleeves and unexpectedly did the same thing Wang Lin had done. He shot down like a meteor.

He was far faster than Wang Lin, and in an instant, he arrived next to Ling Tianhou. He grabbed Ling Tianhou and flew straight up.

The sea of blood roared and the vague figure emerged from the center. The figure raised its hand and gently reached out.

The All-Seer’s expression changed, and without a thought, a ray of grey light came from between his eyebrows. The moment the grey-robed All-Seer appeared, his hand formed a seal and a sharp whistling sound quickly came from within the vortex.

Strands of slaughter energy appeared from the void and surrounded the area. From a distance, there were too many strands of slaughter energy; it was extremely alarming.

The endless strands of slaughter energy gathered from all directions with a point of the grey-robed All-Seer’s finger. They condensed into one strand of slaughter energy and charged at the vague figure.

The moment grey-robed All-Seer appeared, the pupils of Master Void, who was carrying the beautiful middle-aged woman and the suspected Brilliant Void Saintess, shrank and he muttered, “Grey robe…”

The grey-robed All-Seer’s expression was gloomy and extremely cold. His pointed with his right hand and calmly said one thing.

“Collapse!”

After he spoke, the one strand of slaughter energy suddenly collapsed! An earth-shattering sound echoed and the collapse of the slaughter energy created a rebound force that sent the All-Seer and Ling Tianhou up.

The sea of blood was pushed back by this powerful explosion. The soul fragments inside let out miserable screams and died.

Ling Tianhou silently pondered. He replied to the All-Seer’s help with a cold gaze.

The All-Seer ignored Ling Tianhou as he rushed out a sharp scream came from the vortex. A figure suddenly rushed out at unimaginable speed from the vortex and clawed at the grey-robed All-Seer.

This scream contained a terrifying force. When Wang Lin and Situ Nan were impacted by this force, they immediately coughed out blood and sped up their escape.

As for the others, they had continued to fly up, and they used their origin energy to resist this impact.

The grey-robed All-Seer’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the vague figure charging at him. His eyes turned red and he revealed a sneer before pointing down and slowly saying, “Slaughter, become a world!”

After he spoke, a loud rumble came from the void everyone was in. Then a giant crack suddenly appeared above the vortex!

Strands of slaughter energy came out of the crack like crazy. There was simply too much, several times more than before!

In a short instant, as strands of slaughter energy appeared, the entire area was filled with slaughter energy! Ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, ten million, a hundred million!

100 million strands of slaughter energy appeared above the Celestial Burial Vortex. There was too much slaughter energy. If it wasn’t for the fact they could fuse together, it would be impossible to accommodate them all here!

Wang Lin sucked in a breath of cold air when he saw this unimaginable scene. The grey-robed All-Seer’s cold and calm voice from back then echoed in his mind.

“If I had 100 million strands of slaughter energy, I would be fine even if a planet exploded!”

Wang Lin had never seen 100 million strands of slaughter energy before. Now that he saw it himself, the shock he felt was indescribable.

Although the Celestial Burial Vortex was large, it was still smaller than the endless slaughter energy. At this moment, the slaughter energy gathered under the control of the grey-robed All-Seer.

The vortex formed by 100 million strands of slaughter energy suddenly appeared before everyone. It had the power to break everything in its path, and as it became compressed, a terrifying aura appeared before everyone.

“Monstrous Slaughter!” the grey-robed All-Seer shouted as the vortex charged at the vague figure inside the Celestial Burial Vortex.

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!

Waves of heaven-shaking rumbles echoed non-stop. Under the endless impact, the sea of blood collapsed. Even the Celestial Burial Vortex began to shake.

Borrowing the power of this impact, Wang Lin and Situ Nan sped up. They charged out of the vortex and looked below with pale faces.

Even the eyes of the old man on the gourd were filled with fear. The pupils of the man in black with the dragon mark hidden between his eyebrows shrank.

“All-Seer…”

Master Void took a deep breath and stared at the grey-robed All-Seer. He would never forget how this person had walked into the Alliance and defeated countless powerful cultivators. Even some members of the elder group were not his match.

He had even killed a standing elder back then and became a member of the elder group through force!

“What’s even more frightening is that terrifying power of law that allows him to foresee everything. Although he is terrifying when he slaughters, it is his gaze that can see through everything when he isn’t slaughtering that caught the Alliance’s attention…” Master Void looked at the grey-robed All-Seer and the All-Seer’s original body that saved Ling Tianhou.

“It was only because Senior Brother dreaded this person that he sacrificed his life and paid the price of his third Heaven’s Blight arriving early that he was able to cast a powerful spell that used Ling Tianhou to break his dao heart. This created a flaw in his dao heart during his second Heaven’s Blight. This caused his dao heart to shatter into countless pieces and made it unable to merge!

“Otherwise, the All-Seer would be at a terrifying level today. If he wasn’t at the third step yet, he wouldn’t be far away!”

Inside the Celestial Burial Vortex, the moment the sea of blood collapsed, the blurred woman inside waved her right hand. A purplish gold tattoo flashed between her eyebrows.

With a wave of her hand, the vicious slaughter vortex suddenly paused and millions of strands of slaughter energy disappeared without a trace.

This sudden change caused everyone’s minds to tremble.

The grey-robed All-Seer’s eyes lit up. He frowned and was about to use another spell when the original All-Seer that saved Ling Tianhou calmly said, “Come back!”

The grey-robe All-Seer looked back at his original body and revealed a cold stare. However, he retreated while silently pondering and then disappeared between the All-Seer’s brows.

Then the All-Seer flew out from the vortex and floated in the air. Aside from the people who were sucked into the vortex earlier, everyone else was still there.

However, no one was speaking, and they were all looking at the woman slowly floating out of the vortex!

As the woman approached, Wang Lin clearly saw that her feet were firmly locked by a scarlet red tendon-like thing. As she flew into the sky, the tendon was pulled straight.

The Star-Marked Sable that had disappeared came out of the vortex and landed on the tendon around the woman’s feet. It sniffed a few times before its eyes shined and unexpectedly lied down on top of it.

The woman stopped when she was 2,000 feet from everyone. She looked up with her empty eyes sockets as if she was looking at everyone. There was still black blood coming out of her eye sockets and dripping down from her chin.

“Are there still descendants of the Tattoo clan?” A hoarse voice came out of the woman’s mouth, and it contained a mysterious power.

Although this voice was hoarse, it was very pleasant to listen to. It seemed to echo and linger in your ears.

Facing the woman’s sudden question, everyone remained silent. After a long time, Master Void revealed a respectful look and said, “There are still a lot of the Tattoo clan alive.”

The woman silently pondered and let out a sigh. She struggled to come out from the depths of the Celestial Burial Pool to only ask this and see one person.

Her empty eye sockets seemed to release an invisible gaze that landed on Wang Lin.

“Summon the Celestial Guard in your shadow.”

Wang Lin silently pondered and then Ta Shan appeared form his shadow with a thought. He stared coldly at the woman.

“It has been a very long time since I’ve seen my clan members…” Melancholy filled the woman’s eyes. She waved her right hand and Ta Shan flew toward her against his will.

Chapter 1026 – Qing Lin, You Lied to Me

Ta Shan closed in on the woman, but his eyes were still cold. Although as a Celestial Guard he still had his consciousness, all his emotions were gone, leaving him with only indifference.

The woman raised her hand and gently placed it between Ta Shan’s eyebrows. A powerful surge of energy entered and shattered the Celestial Guard seal.

In addition, as Ta Shan trembled, large amounts of golden liquid came out of Ta Shan’s body. This golden liquid contained all the refined magical treasures that were used to refine Ta Shan’s body.

In just a moment, all traces of the Celestial Guard seal on Ta Shan were gone. This kind of forceful removal of the Celestial Guard seal made Wang Lin’s scalp tingle. Luckily, he only controlled the Celestial Guard seal through force, so even if it was destroyed, he wouldn’t be affected.

After losing the Celestial Guard seal, Ta Shan’s eyes began to gradually fade. He was already on the verge of death back then, and if it wasn’t for Wang Lin refining him, he would have already died.

Now that the Celestial Guard seal was gone, Ta Shan was filled with death aura. However, how could this woman allow Ta Shan to die? She raised her right hand and began drawing between Ta Shan’s eyebrows with the tip of her finger. One stroke, one stroke, one stroke!

A complex tattoo was gradually formed by her fingertip and was engraved deeply between Ta Shan’s eyebrows.

“As your Tattoo clan’s Holy Ancestor, I activate your clan spirit and gift you the Tattoo clan’s Holy Tattoo…” The woman’s voice sounded tired. The moment she drew the last stroke, the rune flashed and Ta Shan’s eyes lit up. His body no longer trembled and he had calmed down. He looked at the woman before him with eyes filled with confusion.

When the woman was carving the new tattoo on Ta Shan, she looked through his memories without reservation. She saw how Ta Shan’s clan had lived inside the Nether Beast and were sacrificed to the celestials. How the celestials had branded them with a slave imprint. How Wang Lin had appeared and taken them out of the Nether Beast to find a new place to live.

She had seen all of this.

When she saw the slave imprint affecting generations of the Tattoo clan, even more black blood flowed out from her empty eye sockets!

“Qing Lin… You lied to me!!!” The woman raised her head and let out a sharp scream filled with anger. This sound was extremely venomous, and the Celestial Burial Vortex below her suddenly became even more intense. The howling of countless souls could be heard from within the vortex.

As the vortex rotated rapidly, endless evil aura rushed out of vortex until it was about to collapse. The woman had an ugly expression and was filled with unimaginable resentment. It was as if all the years of resentment that had been suppressed within her were going to erupt.

As her scream echoed, the vortex seemed like it was about to be pulled up. However, just at this moment, the red tendon wrapped around her leg shined bright red. The red light seemed to cover her body and locked her in place.

However, the unimaginable resentment that had been sealed for countless years and the anger from after realizing Qing Lin had lied to her caused the light restricting her to immediately collapse!

She raised her right and mercilessly clawed at the vortex below her!

With one claw, the earth trembled and even the vortex trembled. Even the Celestial Emperor Cave trembled as if it was about to collapse!

The vortex formed by the Celestial Burial Pool began to tremble and disintegrate after her claw. It was as if the vortex was torn apart, and it began gathering in the woman’s right hand.

It was as if the woman was going to pull the vortex out from the ground!　

This drastic change caused the surroundings to change greatly. The All-Seer silently looked at everything, and his expression became slightly gloomy. Master Void revealed a wry smile and shook his head. He had seen the records from the Celestial Realm and knew a few things about the past. Rumors stated that she had died, but after seeing that she was still alive, he made some connections and guessed what had happened back then.

“You lied to me. You promised me you wouldn’t harm my clan and would open up a new star system for them to live in. Then your celestials and my clan could live together. Those were things you promised me. Qing Lin, why did you lie to me!?!”

Her mournful voice echoed and was filled with resentment. As her right hand continued to claw, the vortex continued to collapse. As it shrank, it revealed the abyss below, and the vortex gathered in the woman’s right hand.

Countless souls flew out. A majority of those souls were celestials Qing Lin had killed. Now they filled the area, and it was a shocking sight to behold.

The red tendon shinned even brighter and layers of red light surrounded her. However, just as the light surrounded her, it would collapse!

Just at this moment, countless runes appeared on the red tendon. Just as the runes appeared, it released a crystal light that floated off from the red tendon. The countless specks of crystal light gathered before the woman and formed an ethereal figure!

This person’s body was half-transparent, but he was a middle-aged man. He wore a golden robe and his long hair was tied with a yellow ribbon. He looked very handsome and gave off the aura of a celestial.

His eyes revealed a ruthless and cold gaze, but there was no spirit in his eyes at all.

The moment his shadow appeared, an aura that made it feel like only he could rule the world appeared. At this moment, even the expressions of powerful people like the All-Seer changed! Countless avatars of himself began to appear around him. He didn’t do this of his own will, it was due to the the shock caused by this aura!

“He was even stronger than that person!!” The All-Seer sucked in a breath of cold air and fear filled his eyes. He was only ever shocked like this once, and it was before that person back then!

When Wang Lin saw this person, he immediately gasped and his pupils shrank. He immediately recognized that this person looked exactly the same as the carving of Qing Lin back with the Flower Celestial!

“Qing Lin!”

“This isn’t the real Qing Lin, just a divine sense avatar he left when he sealed the Tattoo clan’s Holy Ancestor. It has no intelligence, no memories, and no spells like his original body. He only has the instinct to stop this Tattoo clan Holy ancestor from escaping!” Master Void’s mind was shaken. At his cultivation level, he could affect the law of the world to a certain degree. However, when he saw this figure, he felt like he was a mortal again; so weak, he could perish to a mere breath.

At this moment, far away from the Demon Spirit Land and outside of the Alliance controlled area was a burning star system. The moment Wang Lin walked out of the bottle world after his awakening, a shocking event occurred in the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect!

Everything was because of the Vermillion Bird awakening!

Chapter 1027 – Vermillion Bird Divine Planet

Deep within the Alliance, there were a few places that even the Alliance couldn’t control. Even with how big the Cultivation Alliance was, not a single member of them could take half a step inside these places!

One they entered, they would face death without any chance of survival. Even Nirvana Cleanser cultivators wouldn’t dare to take half a step inside.

Only those at the Nirvana Shatterer stage had the courage to enter. Even then, they had be extremely careful as one mistake would end in their death.

These areas were called the Forbidden Zones within the Alliance! Everyone who had reached the second step in the Alliance knew some of these places.

There were many rumors about them outside, but not many people knew the real reason.

There was a place within a Forbidden Zone that was always burning. At a glance, the sea of flames covered the entire star field. The terrifying heat from the flames was enough to make people’s hearts tremble.

Looking from a distance, it seemed like an endless burning star field. It was an unforgettable scene for anyone who saw it. Even if they reincarnated, they wouldn’t erase this profound scene of an entire star field on fire.

This sea of flames was different from Qing Lin’s Burn the Heavens. Burn the Heavens was a powerful spell, but this sea of flames had appeared naturally!

Rumors had it that this sea of flames existed when the Celestial Realm was around. If one searched back, it even existed in primordial times.

No one knew how long this sea of flames had burned for. Generations of cultivators went by, the Celestial Realm collapsed, and the ancient cultivation world was gone, but these eternal flames still burned.

No one knew what kind of force, what kind of power allowed this sea of flames to burn forever and to never extinguish even with the passage of time.

The eternal burning made this starfield a world of fire.

All the planets and rocks had dissipated after these countless years of burning. Only nine planets remained, and they formed a circle.

Only these nine planets were able to withstand the unimaginable flames. Even so, these nine planets were no longer intact and were like crescent moons.

Dense flames surrounded the nine planets as if they were constantly trying to burn them to ashes.

The first of the nine plants had no ocean. Even if it did a long time ago, it had evaporated, leaving only the dried seabed.

At first glance, there was no green on the planet. Even if there were any plants, they were all fiery red. Although they were dazzling, there was death hidden underneath them.

The plants that could survive under these conditions weren’t simple.

This place had spiritual energy just like normal cultivation planets, but the spiritual energy here contained fire poison. If a mortal sucked in a mouthful of it, their entire body, along with their bones, would instantly turn to black ashes.

Even cultivators can’t endure long within the fire poison. This starfield was named the Vermillion Bird Land, and these nine planet were the Vermillion Bird Divine Planets!

The first Divine Planet was the most respected! In the southern part of the planet, there was a giant dark red statue! This was a statue of a soaring Vermillion Bird!

Its tail was opened as if it was an open flame, and it covered five kilometers of land. If the tail was already so large, there was no need to mention the body of this Vermillion Bird!

It occupied hundreds of kilometers, and this giant Vermillion Bird could even be easily seen from space!

The eyes of the Vermillion Bird were formed purely from fire. Every hour, two dense strands of fire would descend from the sky and enter the eyes of the Vermillion bird.

This wasn’t the only Divine Vermillion Bird Statue. The other eight planets all had the exact same statue. This was the holy symbol of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect!

There were dozens of people wearing crimson robes sitting around the Vermillion Bird statue. There were men and women among them, and they absorbed the flames around them.

The Vermillion Bird’s tail was divided into the three parts, and each part had an old man sitting on it. Their hands were in a seal and they were chanting a strange chant. Each of the Vermillion Bird’s feathers emitted fire that was absorbed by the surrounding cultivators.

This was a mandatory daily cultivation that occurred in the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect, where they borrowed the power of the holy statue to absorb the power of fire. Aside from those dozens of cultivators next to the statue, there were hundreds more even further away.

If one looked even further, there were far too many cultivators cultivating with the statue as the center. From the dozens next to the statue, to hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of cultivators further away!

Countless cultivators wearing the same clothes silently absorbed the flames from the holy statue.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, the flames from the Vermillion Bird statue began to gradually dissipate. The cultivators got ready for their last bit of cultivation. Usually, at this time, their cultivation for the day was about to be complete.

In the outermost edge, people who didn’t absorb much of the flames had already opened their eyes. Soon, everyone opened their eyes and regained consciousness.

Even the three elders on the tail all awakened from their trance. One of them stood up and looked at the disciples of the Vermillion Bird Sect and was about to speak.

However, just at this moment, a shocking change occurred!

The Vermillion Bird Holy Statue trembled and the originally dim body suddenly exploded in flames! The Vermillion Bird Holy Statue released a powerful red glow.

The flames from the statue continued to grow and quickly became huge. The expressions of the three elders quickly changed, and they flew off the statue instantly. One of the elders roared, “Disciples of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect, retreat! Quickly retreat!”

The other two elders waved their sleeves, creating a power gust of wind, and the dozens of disciples near the statue were blow into the air. The disciples’ expressions all changed and retreated without hesitation.

In an instant, all the disciples of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect quickly retreated from the Vermillion Bird statue. From above, the disciples moving away from the statue looked like a retreating tide.

The flames from the Vermillion Bird Holy Statue became even more fierce, and they shot into the air and covered the sky! The dense flames spread out in ring-shaped waves.

This wasn’t the only place like this. The same scene was occurring on the other eight planets as well! This sudden change caused the expressions of many people of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect to change. However, there were some elders who were different. Their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably. This wasn’t trembling due to fear, but excitement!

“Vermillion Bird Transformation… Vermillion Bird Transformation!! I didn’t think I’d ever see the Vermillion Bird Transformation in my lifetime!” A white-haired old man looked up at the sky and laughed. His eyes revealed an ancient gaze as he looked at the Vermillion Bird statue.

He wasn’t the only one. Everyone who knew about the Vermillion Bird Transformation looked at the sky with excitement in their eyes. There weren’t many people among the nine planets that knew what it was, but all the ones that did had powerful cultivation!

On the first planet, there was a land to the east that was covered in purplish red flames. The moment this change occurred, the earth suddenly collapsed and a purple figure charged out.

The moment this figure appeared, the surrounding sea of flames began to gather around him. The flickering of the flames allowed you to see that it was an old man covered in wrinkles. He stared at the sky dumbfoundedly and his body trembled once.

“Vermillion Bird Transformation!” Unknowingly, two stream of tears flowed from his eyes and he laughed like crazy. “It really is the Vermillion Bird Transformation!!”

This scene was happening across the remaining eight Vermillion Bird Divine Planets as well!

The Vermillion Bird Holy Statue released dense flames, and as the flame pushed outward, they suddenly reversed. All of the scattered flames began to surge back to the statue.

It wasn’t just the flames from nearby, but all the flames in the sky and across the planet were being pulled in. It was as if an unimaginable suction force had appeared within the statue.

From a distance, the planet seemed to have become an ocean as flames gathered from all directions.

At this moment, the sky changed colors and the world changed!

While the Vermillion Bird Holy Statue was absorbing the flames, it looked like a volcano erupted. A pillar of flames shot out of the statues straight into the sky!

It was as if the Vermillion Bird Holy Statue was just a medium to gather all the flames across the planet so that the pillar of flame could pierce the clouds and exit the planet!

As the pillar of fire rumbled, it penetrated the clouds, penetrated the atmosphere, and penetrated the heat wave to appear in the burning starfield!

The moment it charged out, eight more pillars of flame shot out from the other eight planets once their respective statues gathered enough flames! Soon, the nine pillars of flame gathered at the center of the nine planets!

The moment the nine pillars flame gathered, a Vermillion Bird cry countless times louder than the one Wang Lin created and several times more powerful echoed across this burning starfield!

What appeared along with the Vermillion Bird cry was a Vermillion Bird the size of a planet. It was as if it hadn’t appeared in countless years. The natural flames that all the cultivators of the Alliance dreaded began to surge toward this location!

The vibrations caused by this made it feel as if the entire starfield was shaking, and a very loud rumble echoed across the starfield!

This was Vermillion Bird Transformation! This was the first Vermillion Bird Transformation since they had lost to the Alliance! The Vermillion Bird Transformation held great importance to the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect!

This meant that a member of the Vermillion Bird Series had awakened their Vermillion Bird Mark and could possibly become the next Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor. This was the only way for the Vermillion Bird Transformation to occur and summon the true Vermillion Bird spirit that hadn’t appeared for tens of thousands of years!

At this moment, nine people in rays of purplish red light flew out from the nine planets, and each of them was at the Nirvana Shatterer stage. They had come out for this Vermillion Bird Transformation!

When the nine of them closed in on the Vermillion Bird spirit, it let out another cry. The cry turned into countless ripples that spread across the starfield. It also pushed massive amounts of flame along with it.

At the same time, the Vermillion Bird spirit rapidly rotated and turned into a giant ball of fire. The flame began to twist and then an image appeared!

The person in the image had long, flowing hair, and the Vermillion Bird tattoo covered his body. He gave off large amounts of flame, and from a distance, he looked like a Vermillion Bird!

He was Wang Lin!

In the picture, aside from Wang Lin, there was also the Tattoo Clan Holy Ancestor who had a mournful appearance with her empty eye sockets. Before her was Qing Lin formed by the crystal light!

The moment the scene appeared, the woman suddenly looked over. Her empty eyes caused their minds to tremble.

“This woman is…”

“Tattoo Clan Holy Ancestor Qiu Yao!”

“The person before her, could he be the Celestial Emperor Qing Lin?!”

Master Void, the All-Seer, and everyone else appeared in the picture!

“Master Void and the All-Seer are there too!”

“The person went through the Vermillion Bird Awakening in such a dangerous place. That Master Void is a key figure in the Alliance. He definitely won’t allow my Vermillion Bird Sect to have someone awaken!”

“However, I had never seen the person who awakened. How did he obtain the Vermillion Bird Series?”

The nine people looked at the scene inside the ball of fire. Just at this moment, a powerful divine sense came from the depths of the burning star system. This divine sense was so strong that it even caused the flames within the star system to pause!

“There is no need to doubt this child’s identity. His mark was given to him by one of my avatars. Take the force of the entire sect and use the true spirit as a guide. Bring him back safely at all costs!”

After this divine sense swept by, the nine of them immediately revealed fervent respect.

“As the Divine Emperor orders!”

“This old man doesn’t have much time left as my injuries from back then have become more serious. This child is the hope of my Vermillion Bird Divine Sect… You all are closer, so no matter the cost, you must ensure his safety!”

At this moment, inside the Celestial Emperor Cave, as Qing Lin appeared, Wang Lin felt heat in his Vermillion Bird tattoo. He didn’t even have time to check before several gazes fell on him.

There was a flash of killing intent from Master Void. He immediately noticed the change to the tattoo on Wang Lin’s body.

“The Vermillion Bird Sect has noticed his awakening!”

Chapter 1028 – Stop Spell

The Tattoo Clan Holy Ancestor also noticed the faint change in Wang Lin’s Vermillion Bird tattoo, but she didn’t care. She couldn’t see Qing Lin’s appearance, but she could clearly feel it.

She had been here for tens of thousands of years, so how could she not know of the divine sense left here within the seal? Its sole purpose was to keep her permanently sealed here.

After sensing Qing Lin’s avatar, her hatred became even stronger. Her empty eye sockets stared at Qing Lin, and countless memories flashed through her mind.

“Qing Lin!!” the woman said, almost gnashing her teeth. The moment Qing Lin appeared, a complex tattoo flashed between her eyebrows. Then a ferocious red beast bone shot out at Qing Lin!

The moment the beast bone appeared, a monstrous evil aura appeared. The moment the evil aura appeared, the temperature dropped as if it was winter. As the evil aura spread, layers of ice began to appear in the surroundings.

Wang Lin’s origin energy rapidly cycled and the heat of his Vermillion Bird Divine Fire filled his body. However, his gaze was locked onto the beast bone, and a huge wave was set off in his heart.

“Wither Dao Pair?” Wang Lin looked at the back of his right hand. The ferocious appearance of the Wither Dao Pair was there.

“The spell used by the Tattoo Clan Holy Ancestor unexpectedly looks like the Wither Dao Pair. Although, the color is different and the effect is not the same.”

Qing Lin’s divine sense avatar formed by the specks of light coldly looked at the woman and pointed at her!

With a point of his finger, specks of light began to appear. These specks of light came from Qing Lin and gathered at the tip of his finger. Then a ray of crystal light shot out and surrounded the beast bone like a flowing river.

The moment the light formed a circle, it quickly contracted. It penetrated the beast bone at an unimaginable speed and went inside the beast bone.

The specks of light condensed toward the center of the beast bone. When large amount of light entered the beast bone, the beast bone seemed to have no power to resist. Red gas escaped from the beast bone, and the beast bone seemed to fuse with the specks of light. As more red gas escaped, the beast bone seem to lose its luster.

It only took a few moments for a bright, fist-sized crystal to form inside the beast bone.

The moment the crystal appeared, it released a bright glow. The light was like tens of thousands of swords stabbing outwards. This made everyone gasp.

“What a tyrannical sealing method. It doesn’t consume a bit of the divine sense avatar. Instead, it extracts the power of law from the opponent’s spell and uses it to completely seal the spell. Not even Senior Brother could do something like this so easily!” Master Void gasped and his pupils shrank. Soon, a trace of greed appeared in his eyes.

“Although Qing Lin is very strong, according the Alliance’s observations and information, I’m 90% certain he is in his deathbed. If I can capture him and control him through a special method, then the Cultivation Alliance will no longer have any enemies!”

A thunderous rumble echoed and the beast bone trembled as the light pierced out from inside it. when the light pierced out from the beast bone, the beast bone shattered into countless pieces.

Although it seems like a lot has happened, all of this took place in an instant. As the bright light spread, it caused everyone’s eyes to feel a stab of pain and forced them to retreat.

Qing Lin coldly looked at the Tattoo Clan Holy Ancestor, and he raised his right hand once more and a mysterious rune appeared. The rune whistled through the air until it was above the woman and released a green light.

The moment the rune appeared, a roar-like sound came from the Celestial Burial Vortex that the woman had somewhat pulled up from the ground.

One by one, souls charged out from the Celestial Burial Pool. At first there weren’t many, but soon, they were coming out like crazy.

The giant vortex quickly broke free from the woman’s control. There was a heaven-shaking rumble and then the vortex began to rotate, and it was even faster than before. There were even tearing sounds that made it seem as if the world was being torn apart.

The unimaginable amount of souls moved with the vortex. Those ferocious gazes and mournful cries made it seem like the gates to hell had been opened.

There were simply too many souls. Wang Lin only took one look before his scalp went numb. There were celestials, Tattoo Clan, ancient Qi cultivators, and even beasts Wang Lin had never seen before.

Every soul inside gave off a terrifying pressure. Although they were long dead, this pressure showed that every single one of these souls were extremely powerful when they were alive!

Only those with certain qualifications would be thrown into the Celestial Burial Pool by Celestial Emperor Qing Lin!

As the countless souls roared, the Celestial Burial Pool surged up like the raging sea. It rotated rapidly below the woman, and a suction force several times stronger than before appeared.

However, what was strange was that the suction force only affected the woman and had no effect on anyone else.

Qing Lin didn’t pause. His hands moved and another rune appeared that circled the woman as well. The moment after this rune appeared, the vortex rotated twice as fast, as if it had become the mouth of hell that wanted to devour her completely.

The black blood coming from her eye sockets started to flow even faster, as if she was shedding tears, only these tears were shocking to see.

“Why did you lie to me…. Why did you lie to me, why!?!” The woman’s voice contained a powerful penetrating force. As her voice spread out, the two runes before her trembled as if they could collapse at any moment.

What was even more terrifying was that the space around her shattered with her sharp voice. The space was about to collapse.

As her voice penetrated through the air, it created a series of sonic booms that swept the area. Soon, it created a storm that swept toward Qing Lin.

Blood came out of Wang Lin’s ears. Even though he was constantly cycling his origin energy and had the body of an ancient god, he was still injured.

It was as if a buzz had appeared in his hears, and the same words echoed and lingered in his ears.

“Why… Why…”

Wang Lin was aghast at the situation, and he saw that Situ Nan and the others were almost the same. Only the All-Seer, Master Void, and the man in black had gloomy expressions and weren’t affected.

The sound of her voice formed a storm that charged at Qing Lin. Qing Lin still had a cold expression as he lifted his right hand and pointed forward. With that, the incoming storm suddenly paused!

It was as if an unimaginable law had descended from the heavens, and according to the will of the caster, this law stopped everything’s right to move. Then it turned into countless strands of law power that entangled it and stopped it from moving.

“The Stop spell!!” Wang Lin’s eyes revealed a strange light, and there was even a trace of excitement in them. To him, the Stop spell was a very important celestial spell.

Wang Lin had gotten through many dangers in his life due to the Stop spell. It could be said that the Stop spell was something indispensable in his life.

However, the Stop spell he learned was what he learned from the jade Celestial Emperor Qing Lin left. He had never seen another person use it. No matter how hard he studied it, he had no chance of breaking the limit of this spell.

However, this was the first time he was witnessing someone else use the Stop spell, and the person who used it was Qing Lin!

Just at that moment, others might not have much comprehension about what just happened. However, Wang Lin could be considered an inheritor of the Stop spell, so it was extremely important for him to see Qing Lin use it.

This was no different from Qing Lin personally teaching it to him. It was as if Qing Lin was the teacher and Wang Lin was the student. After the student finished learning, the master would cast the spell once to allow the student to verify and adjust what they learned.

This was a chance Wang Lin could only dream of. It was as if Bai Fan had appeared and used Call the Wind, Summon the Rain, Magic Arsenal, Mountains Crumble, Lands Collapse, and Dark Moon, Clear Skies before him!

However, this wasn’t the time to carefully ponder it. Wang Lin could only memorize this scene to study later.

Qing Lin’s right hand didn’t stop. After he stopped the storm, his hand quickly moved. Then seven more runes immediately flew out and arrived next to the woman.

They fused with the previous two seals and formed a nine-seal formation!

The nine seals circled the woman’s body and released a mysterious light. The moment the nine seals appeared, the Celestial Burial Pool below the woman suddenly erupted!

This Celestial Burial Pool formed giant vortex and rotated rapidly. As it continued to expand, countless souls flew out at the woman.

In almost the blink of an eye, she was surrounded by souls. These souls gathered together to form black chains. The black chains locked her down and mercilessly dragged her down.

Chapter 1029 – Scattered Like Birds

The vortex charged into the air and an unimaginable suction force erupted. The Tattoo Clan Holy Ancestor wasn’t able to struggle at all, and the chain slowly pulled her back into the rising vortex.

The woman revealed a bleak expression, and the tattoo between her eyebrows flickered. Every flicker would cause a loud rumble and one of the chains around her would shatter. The chains would turn back into wailing souls that got sucked into the Celestial Burial Vortex.

The moment the chains collapsed, countless souls came out of the vortex and formed new chains that continued to drag her down.

This caused everyone who saw this to silently ponder. They were shocked and had various thought about this.

The woman bitterly smiled. She had been sealed here for too many years and didn’t have the power she used to have. If Qing Lin’s divine sense avatar wasn’t here, she might’ve had a chance to break free, but now she had no chance.

She revealed a bitter smile. Although she had no eyes, there seemed to be a hint of light in her empty eye sockets. At this moment, green gas appeared in her eye sockets and seemed to replace her eyes.

She looked at the Qing Lin avatar before her and let out a miserable laugh. “The person I hate the most in my life is you, Qing Lin!!

“Back then, my Tattoo Clan offended Supreme, so we had to escape to the sealed realm, where the Supreme had no control. We just wanted to avoid the dispute and find a place to live far away from death.

“The war with your Celestial Realm was because you celestials were eyeing our Tattoo clan’s source origin energy, and you attacked first. Did my Tattoo clan have to obey you?! That war lasted for far too long, and your Celestial Realm used various methods against us. In order to steal my Tattoo Clan’s holy bottle, you killed countless powerful members of my clan!

“If that was it, it would have been fine. After all, casualties on both sides are inevitable in a war. However, as one of the four Celestial Emperors and the most powerful person in the Celestial Realm, why did you deceive a woman’s fragile heart!?

“You had said that I’d be your Celestial Cave Concubine. I, Qiu Yao, betrayed my clan for you and willingly become your concubine in exchange for a place for my Tattoo clan to live in this sealed realm.

“You said that you liked my eyes, and for you, I willingly dug out my own eyes and gave them to you. These eyes that had been gathering energy for countless years and had condensed an sliver of primordial energy. It was a pair of eyes that every generation of Tattoo Clan Ancestor inherited from the previous generation.

“Do you still remember that scene. My blood stained eyes and the blood that flowed out of my eye sockets…

“You asked so much of me, and I did my best to do fulfill your every demand. Even when you sealed me here to suppress the monstrous amount of souls here, I was willing.

“Beside you, I wasn’t the Holy Ancestor, but just your concubine, and I liked you…”

The smile on her face became even more miserable. The black blood flew out from her eye socket like tears. Only they were tears of blood, and memories of the past flashed through her mind.

“Why!? Why did you still lie to me even though I did everything? You promised me you would give my clan a realm to live in. You promised me my clan would live on. You even said that one day you would take my clan outside the sealed realm once more!

“These were all things you told me. I, Qiu Yao, was stupid enough to believe your words. I stayed here suppressing these souls in the Celestial Burial Pool for you even though I was aware that your purpose was to seal me here. However, I still chose to believe in you.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that I felt a member of clan and came out at all costs to see him, I would have never know that my clan never got their own realm! That after I was sealed, my clan became slaves to you celestials!!!!

“This made me hate you even more. Qing Lin, are you a heartless person? Do you not have any emotions? Are you a rock?! An ordinary slave seal simply can’t seal my Tattoo clan for generations without end. That slave seal was clearly derived from that primordial energy from my eyes. Only that kind of power could seal my clan like this!!

“You obtained my eyes and obtained that sliver of primordial energy. Then you enfused countless slave seals within it so my clan became ant-like slaves within the sealed realm!! They were forced to worship you celestials for generations.”

Even more black blood came out of her empty eye sockets. It carried the monstrous resentment from having her countless years of anticipation suddenly collapse before her.

“Qing Lin, your avatar is here, which means you’re still not dead. Do you dare to appear before me!?!” The woman’s mournful voice echoed as she was slowly dragged back into the Celestial Burial Pool with a miserable smile on her face.

When she was about to be pulled completely into the Celestial Burial Pool, her head suddenly jerked up and the tattoo between her eyebrows completely separated from her skin. The tattoo flickered like crazy, and even from where Wang Lin was, he could clearly see the lines of blood connecting to the tattoo. He could imagine how painful it was.

However, this pain couldn’t compare to the pain in her heart. She raised her right hand and grabbed the tattoo. She then mercilessly pulled it out from between her eyebrows regardless of the pain and threw it up.

Ta Shan was still close to her. Everything before him made him gain some understanding, but his eyes were still filled with confusion. The tattoo the woman threw flew like light and arrived near Ta Shan. It fused to the spot between his eyebrows along with a stinging pain.

After throwing the tattoo, the woman became very weak and gradually sank into the Celestial Burial Pool. The green gas in her eye sockets flickered as she looked at Wang Lin and muttered, “You have helped my Tattoo clan… I, Qiu Yao, won’t forget those that have helped my clan…”

She revealed a miserable smile once more as she mercilessly stabbed her two eye sockets. The green gas was pulled out and she threw it. It turned into two rays of green light that fused into one and then shot toward Wang Lin.

“Aside from my Tattoo Clan’s life tattoo, another thing we had that made us famous in the outer realm was the Withered Tattoo spell. This is the method of the Withered Tattoo. Since you helped my Tattoo Clan, then you should be able to get my clan’s descendant to help you obtain the power of tattoos.”

Wang Lin heard her message immediately after he caught the green light.

She profoundly looked at the cold figure of Qing Lin as she sank into the Celestial Burial Pool. At this moment, the surroundings were completely silent. Even the countless souls also sank into the Celestial Burial Pool with her.

Only the sound of the vortex rotating could still be heard. The vortex slowly sank and was about to disappear into the deep pit below.

Holding the green light, Wang Lin naturally understood what the woman named Qiu Yao wanted. According to her, this Withered Tattoo spell required the help of the Tattoo clan, and it would be an invisible chain that tied Wang Lin and the Tattoo clan together.

“The fact that she is so confident means that the Withered Tattoo can’t be ordinary!” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he recalled the yellow talisman that could seal origin energy back in Allheaven…

“Could it be…” Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed.

Just at this moment, just as the Celestial Burial Pool was about to disappear, a shocking change occurred. Qiu Yao’s figure suddenly came out of the sinking vortex and, following a tearing sound, a heaven-shaking rumble came from the vortex.

“Qing Lin, even if I die, I won’t let you go!” When this voice echoed, a large amount of souls appeared. The souls didn’t charge out but collapsed. As the souls collapsed, the Celestial Burial Pool also trembled.

“Since you used me to suppress these souls, you should know that after countless years, I have become one with the Celestial Burial Pool. They won’t let me leave, and you won’t let me leave, so let us perish together!!”

As Qiu Yao’s venomous words echoed, the Celestial Burial Pool collapsed. Countless souls were torn to pieces and turned into destructive power that entered the vortex. After an immeasurable amount of destructive force entered the vortex, a shocking change occurred.

The vortex suddenly shot up and turned into a huge whirlwind that could destroy anything in its path. It shot straight up into the sky. At this moment, Master Void’s expression changed and he took the beautiful middle-aged woman and the girl suspected to the Brilliant Void’s Saintess and escaped.

The All-seer and company were the same. At this moment, everyone scattered like birds.

That whirlwind shot out and caused the space here to collapse, loud rumbles echoing as it happened. What collapsed wasn’t just the space here, but also the edge of the cave that was sealed by the scattered devil.

The whirlwind charged out in an instant. As the endless resentful screams echoed, something floated out from below.

It was a 100-foot-wide black pool filled with black blood, and it gave off an eerie energy. What was strange was that this eerie energy was celestial spiritual energy!

Celestial Burial Pool!

There were countless ferocious beasts carved around the black pool along with countless twisted faces suffering from pain. The moment it appeared, a terrifying aura came with it. In the Celestial Spirit Heaven Realm, the sky began to change and thunder echoed across the former Demon Spirit Land.

A heaven-shaking change even occurred in the space outside the Demon Spirit Land. The vortex in the East Demon Spirit Sea began to rotate like crazy and began to suck in origin energy. The vortex expanded like crazy, and some of the cultivators passing by where caught inside. Their bodies immediately collapsed, and even their origin souls couldn’t escape.

This terrifying change immediately caught the attention of simply too many people!

At this moment, before everyone could get a good look, a crack suddenly appeared on the Celestial Burial Pool.

Shortly after, a series of crackling sounds echoed and even more cracks appeared. The famous Celestial Burial Pool suddenly collapsed and all the souls inside were torn apart. The unimaginable destructive force scattered like crazy.

Qing Lin’s avatar didn’t dodge. The moment the destructive aura from the Celestial Burial Pool arrived, he closed his eyes and turned into a speck of light that disappeared within the cave.

As the shockwave spread, the entire place was filled with a deafening roar. This shockwave was so powerful that it shattered the seal the scattered devil had placed and revealed the cave’s true appearance. Everyone, including Wang Lin, was scattered in all directions by the powerful shockwave.

Everyone was forced to scatter due to the force created by the collapse of the Celestial Burial Pool!

Even Master Void’s expression turned pale, as he was injured. He couldn’t even bother with the beautiful middle-aged woman and the girl, as he was thrown by the powerful shockwave. He collided with a restriction within the cave and disappeared.

As for the beautiful woman and the girl in pink, they were scattered as well. They both touched a different restriction and disappeared without a trace.

The All-Seer continued to retreat, and his eyes revealed a mysterious light. His foot moved in a strange way and then he rushed into a restriction in a distant pavilion and disappeared.

Almost everyone disappeared while they retreated.

Wang Lin’s body also trembled. Under the effect of this shockwave, he felt as if almost all his bones were going to shatter. He felt pain in his body and coughed out blood. Then he fell on the ground next to some flowers and touched a restriction. There was a flash of light and his figure slowly disappeared.

However, just as his body was about to disappear, a ray of light quickly closed in on him from the vortex.

Along the way, the ray of light broke all the restrictions that blocked its path and headed straight for Wang Lin. In an instant, it arrived near Wang Lin, and while Wang Lin was stunned, it penetrated his bag of holding. It went straight for the yellow crystal given to him by the mysterious man in the hall.

“Qing Lin’s avatar!!” This was the last thought that appeared in Wang Lin’s mind before he disappeared. He clearly saw Qing Lin’s avatar within that light.

The collapse of the Celestial Burial Pool caused the Celestial Emperor Cave to shake violently. Everyone was scattered, and they activated different restrictions and were teleported to different locations.

As if the heavens had willed it, the woman surrounded by demonic energy and covered in scars fell close to Wang Lin after the shockwave. She landed in some flowers and triggered a restriction. She was then teleported to the same place Wang Lin was sent to.

After a long time, the shockwave dissipated and the entire place was in ruins, leaving only a deep pit that gave off a chilly aura. The Celestial Burial Pool had shattered into countless fragments that disappeared within various restrictions.

This place was completely silent, and after an unknown amount of time, a person struggled to climb out of the pit. His head was very big and his body was rather small. His eyes were still filled with fear as he climbed out.

Behind him were the three Chen brothers and everyone else that was sucked in, aside from one of the female disciples, whose body collapsed, and Elder Sun, who lost his Star-Marked Sable. Everyone else climbed out.

They silently pondered as they looked around, and fear lingered in their hearts.

No one noticed the Star-Marked Sable fly by, because it was too fast, and everyone was still recovering from the aftermath. The Star-Marked Sable shot straight into the depths of the pit.

Its eyes were filled with intelligence. It could clearly feel an aura within the depths of this pit that would make it go crazy…

Chapter 1030 – The Eternity Between True and False

In the vastness of space, aside from the bright nebula and countless meteorites, there was also endless dust. Each particle of dust was often very small. Though some could be seen by a cultivator’s divine sense, most couldn’t be clearly detected by cultivators.

In the corner of the universe, there were some dust particles that were so small that not even Nirvana Shatterer cultivators could detect them with their divine sense.

These dust particles were very small, but there were other worlds within them!

The Demon Spirit Land, the former Celestial Spirit Heaven Realm, and Celestial Emperor Qing Lin’s cave were here.

Aside from the East Demon Spirit Sea, which was an immeasurable distance away, there was no other entrance to these places. Within the dust, there was a grand palace at the center of the Celestial Emperor Cave.

This grand palace was completely purple and gave off a majestic aura. There were 99 candles placed in a formation on the ground. At this moment, 64 candles had already extinguished…

There was no person inside the hall, only ashes on the ground. The remaining 35 candles flickered, and their light scattered in the hall. It gave the hall a grim aura.

At this moment, it was as if wind had blown in from outside the hall and swept through. The fire flickered violently. Out of the remaining 35 candles, 23 of them shook violently as they struggled to stay burning. However, the wind was too cold, and as it blew by, countless tattoos flickered within the wind.

In the end, the 23 candles extinguished one by one. When the candles went out, the hall became more dark. The smoke released by the candles seemed to form a devilish shadow that was silently laughing.

The smoke dissipated. The moment the 23 candles extinguished, a figure sitting in a large throne in a hall identical to this one violently trembled and coughed out black blood.

Blood also came out of his orifices; it was a shocking sight to behold.

The environment here was exactly the same as the hall above. However, there were no candles here. Instead, there was a huge throne. The man covered in the black mist trembled and then opened his eyes.

His eyes were cloudy. If Wang Lin saw this place, he would recognize it as the place his Nether Guide showed after it was altered!

The mysterious man was the person who gifted him the yellow crystal!

“23 candles have extinguished… Only 12 left. Qiu Yao, even as you die, you must hurt me so… Did I really make you hate me this much…” The bitterness in the man’s face was very deep.

“When your Tattoo clan arrived from the outer realm, your clan wanted to forge an alliance with us. I opened up a realm for your clan to live in… However, after your clan arrived, a large amount of celestials went missing. All kinds of signs pointed to your Tattoo clan being responsible for the disappearance of those celestials.

“I didn’t believe it at first, but when I went to the Tattoo clan’s realm, I saw your clan take the souls of celestials to activate your clan’s Holy Tattoo…

“Since you all acted like this, how could we not go to war? How could I, Qing Lin, not be angry? If that hadn’t happened, could the most miserable war since I became the Celestial Emperor have occurred? If it wasn’t for this, how could the Celestial Realm have lost so much vitality that we weren’t able to resist the catastrophe that caused the Celestial Realm to collapse?

“Moreover, the collapse of the Celestial Realm was one of your plans!

“The Tattoo Clan Holy Ancestor is only an avatar. Your true identity is the daughter of the Supreme of the outer realm. Your purpose for coming here wasn’t what you said at the beginning, it was to destroy all forces within the sealed realm.” The man’s face became even more bitter. His eyes were cloudy and there was a hint of reminisce in them.

“You became my Celestial Cave Concubine and forced the Flower Imperial Concubine to become a flower soul so she could only exist as a Flower Celestial only because she found out about you. I personally witnessed this after I became suspicious. You failed, but not only did you not repent, you wanted me go to the outer realm with you and become the disciple of your father, the Supreme. I’m the dignified Emperor of the Celestial Realm, a ruler and native of the sealed realm: how could I betray my home?!

“Your eyes contained the primordial force, but it was because you used your time with me to activate it. This primordial force was the seed your father placed to destroy the sealed realm. If it had spread, everyone within the sealed realm would’ve been destroyed along with countless mortals. This was all so you could make the sealed realm into a ruin so it would make it easier for you all to search for the so-called Heaven’s Gate.

“I dug out your eyes, but can the pain you felt even match up to one ten thousandth of the pain I feel!?

“Even then, I couldn’t bear to kill you, so I sealed you within the Celestial Burial Pool instead. I told everyone else that you died. Do you know the pain in my heart?

“Qiu Yao, what right do you have to hate me? Even today, you didn’t hesitate to destroy your avatar to confuse the people I lured here. You even borrowed the destruction of your avatar to extinguish 23 of my Life Candles!” The man’s face was filled with pain, and black gas surrounded his face. The black gas turned into a devilish shadow that seemed like it wanted to devour him.

“You have no right to hate me. The remnants of your Tattoo clan are a danger to the sealed realm, so how could I leave them be and leave endless trouble for the future generation of my sealed realm!? They can exist, but only as eternal slaves to my celestials! I kept them alive as a reminder. To never forget the powerful killing intent from the outer realm.”

The black gas around the man’s face became even stronger. It gathered between the man’s eyebrows as if it wanted to break through. However, just as it was about to break through, 12 points of light appeared, preventing the black gas from breaking in.

“Do I still have enough time…” The man sighed and slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, Wang Lin’s eyes were fierce as he looked ahead. He was in an endless ocean where he couldn’t see the end, and there were only waves before him. He stood above the surface of the ocean and pondered.

After he triggered the restriction within the flowers, he was teleported here. The first thing he saw was this blue ocean.

“The moment I was teleported here, I vaguely saw another person who also fell in the flowers not far from me… It was the person covered in demonic energy. I felt a familiar feeling from her.”

While pondering, Wang Lin’s expression suddenly changed and he suddenly raised his head. He could see an angry wave forming almost a wall in the distance.

Chapter 1031 – Wither Tattoo

As the waves raged above the blue ocean, layers of waves merged together to form a large wave. From far away, it was like a blue line that slowly spread toward Wang Lin.

Before it even closed in, the rumbling sounds of the wave could be heard. It was loud enough to make your ears buzz and make you feel very small.

Wang Lin’s eyes became serious as he stared at the wave before him. His feet stepped on the ocean and he immediately retreated. As he moved away from the wave, he thought in his heart,

“The place I landed in was only a field of flower. Even though I triggered a restriction, I should not appear in the ocean…” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he watched the waves move faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it was already before him, and it came crashing down on him.

“The shockwave from the collapse of the Celestial Burial Pool injured my body and even shook my origin soul. Right now I need to quickly heal up. Since this strange sea is part of the restriction, then there must be endless follow ups…”

As the wave closed in, dense water vapor filled the area. From afar, it looked like there was mist in front of the wave before it was shattered by the wave.

The wave roared and continued to become taller as it closed in. The wave went higher and higher in the air and then mercilessly slammed down on Wang Lin.

At this instant, Wang Lin’s eyes flashed, and with a step, he suddenly sank into the water. He rapidly descended as if he was a heavy piece of metal.

The moment his body disappeared, the wave crashed on the surface of the ocean. An invisible vibration was set off across the sea, causing more waves to appear. The wave swept by.

Wang Lin’s body continued to sink, and he avoided the vibration caused by the waves. He ignored the violent waves on the surface and charged toward the bottom of the sea.

As he moved forward, he began to frown.

“This isn’t a real ocean. I didn’t see a single creature present along the way… Besides, more importantly…” Wang Lin’s body stopped. Then his right hand formed a seal and he pointed. A vortex immediately appeared. At first it was not very large, but soon, it spread. In the blink of an eye, it was 100 feet wide and pushed the water away. From a distance, it looked like a huge bubble.

Wang Lin was inside the bubble, and his right hand reached forward. A small, fist-sized ball of water entered the bubble. The bubble trembled as the water entered and landed in Wang Lin’s right hand.

Holding the ball of sea water, Wang Lin placed it next to his nose and smelled it. His eyes lit up for a moment.

“It was indeed as I expected. This sea water doesn’t smell like the sea!” Wang Lin put the sea water next to his mouth and licked it.

“It’s not sea water!” His right hand viciously squeezed, and the ball of sea water immediately collapsed.

Wang Lin raised his head and pondered. There were flashes of deduction in his eyes.

“This is dew! During my early days of cultivation, I depended on the dew from the heaven defying bead, so I’m extremely familiar with it. This isn’t an ocean, it’s a drop of dew on a flower petal or a blade of grass!”

Wang Lin’s eyes became enlightened as he looked around in admiration.

“What a powerful restriction. To trap someone within a world inside a drop of dew.” After seeing through this ocean, not only did Wang Lin not relax, but his expression became more serious.

“Restrictions focus on trapping and attacking; very few focus solely on trapping. This is the Celestial Emperor Cave, and from what the Tattoo Clan Holy Ancestor, Qiu Yao, said, Qing Lin is a ruthless person. There is no way the restrictions here would merely just trap someone.” While Wang Lin pondered, he couldn’t help but look at his bag of holding. Before he entered, he clearly saw Qing Lin’s avatar enter the yellow crystal inside his bag of holding.

“From Qiu Yao’s expression, it doesn’t seem like what she said was false. However, after 1,000 years of cultivation, there is no way I would take people’s words at face value. Just like black and white, if one looks at them separately, they are very distinct, but if you mix them, then grey appears!” To Wang Lin, unless he saw it himself or figured it out on his own, then while he would listen to them, he would never thoroughly believe what someone else told him.

This was the experience he had gained after 1,000 years of cultivation. If this was when he was a mortal or when he just joined the Heng Yue Sect, he would have believed it.

“Whether it is true or false, it doesn’t matter. At least I was able to gain some of Qing Lin’s personality. I can’t activate the restrictions here!” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he carefully manipulated the bubble to descend further.

After a long time, he landed at the seabed. The seabed was grey and gave off a hazy feeling. Wang Lin sat at the sea bed and closed his eyes to heal.

Although he was healing, he didn’t close off his divine sense. His divine sense spread out 100 feet around him and he carefully observed all the changes around him.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, seven days passed. On the eighth day, Wang Lin opened his eyes, and there was a flash of flame in his eyes.

He pondered for a bit. At the bottom of the quiet seabed, Wang Lin recalled everything that happened in the Celestial Emperor Cave, like the unexpected Vermillion Bird Awakening that broke the bottle world. Wang Lin’s memory locked onto the scroll that appeared in Ancient Demon Bei Lou’s hand.

“I presume that was the Lonely Desert Smoke Painting of the Mountain and River Painting.

“The Vermillion Bird awakened at a bad time… I didn’t think the Vermillion Bird Awakening would penetrate all 99 realms and allow everyone to know about it. Thanks to that, they all think I’m someone from the Four Divine Sect.

“Although I couldn’t see any clues in that Master Void’s gaze, I feel like there was a needle pointed at me.

“There was also that beautiful middle-aged woman. She is only at Nirvana Cleanser stage. Although she hid her gaze very well, I still saw a trace of hostility.

“Also, the girl suspected to be the Brilliant Void Saintess was the same.”

He had to be even more careful from now on in the Celestial Emperor Cave. Otherwise, it was likely to invite a fatal disaster due to the Vermillion Bird Awakening. Wang Lin touched the Vermillion Bird tattoo, and his expression became gloomy.

Only after recalling what happened to Ta Shan did Wang Lin’s expression change once more.

“Ta Shan… He was originally my celestial guard. Unfortunate… However, encountering the Tattoo Clan Holy Ancestor was his fortunate. I just don’t know where he is right now or if he still remembers me.” Wang Lin let out a sigh. After thinking about Ta Shan, he thought about the green gas Qiu Yao had given him.

Wang Lin raised his right hand, and with a thought, green gas came out from his hand to form a ball of green gas.

This ball of green gas wasn’t static but constantly moved. After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin split off a bit of his divine sense and charged straight into the green gas.

Wang Lin’s expression changed and he gradually frowned. As he observed the green gas, sometimes he was pleasantly surprised but sometimes he was confused.

After a long time, Wang Lin squeezed his hand and the ball of green gas dissipated.

“Wither Tattoo… It is something that only the Tattoo Clan can make, and if an outsider wants to make it, they will need the help of a Tattoo clan member to activate it. Its power is mainly divided into four different types: seal, collapse, escape, and break!” While pondering, Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and a yellow talisman with a complex rune on it appeared. It looked quite old and the color had faded.

Wang Lin originally had two of these talisman he got from Allheaven. He had studied them for a long time but still didn’t know how to use them. The only time he used one was when he battled against a member of the Yao family in Allheaven.

After looking at the green gas, Wang Lin could determine that this talisman was the Wither Tattoo!

After carefully looking at the complex rune on the talisman, Wang Lin began to ponder. A moment later, he bit his left index finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. Then his left hand quickly formed the seal recorded in the green gas and pointed at the blood.

The blood immediately paused in the air and countless bumps appeared on the surface of the blood. Then it exploded into a red mist and went toward the talisman.

It was very fast, and it instantly went into the talisman. Wang Lin stared at the talisman. The spell he just used was one to check what kind of Wither Tattoo it was.

A moment later, the talisman suddenly moved and a black whirlwind appeared. The whirlwind was so fast that the moment it appeared, it caused the surrounding sea to change.

The vague shape of a large bird appeared within the whirlwind. This bird was completely black and its eyes were like lightning. It swept through the whirlwind once and disappeared along with it.

“This is an escape-type Wither Tattoo that has already been activated by the Tattoo Clan!” Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed and he slapped his bag of holding. A big sword flew out. It was one of the 99 swords he obtained from the Slaughter Realm.

Although he had exploded more than 10 of them, Wang Lin still had a lot of them.

Holding the Wither Tattoo, Wang Lin pressed it down on the big sword without hesitation. Then his right hand formed a strange seal and he pointed at the sword. A whirlwind appeared around the sword and then it instantly disappeared.

It disappeared so fast that even Wang Lin only saw a blur. When he took a closer look, the big sword disappeared before him and appeared 100 feet away.

Although it was impossible to see its full speed with only 100 feet, Wang Lin could speculate with this.

“What fast speed!!!” Wang Lin gasped as he stared at the sword 100 feet away. The whirlwind had disappeared and the rune on the talisman had faded a bit.

“Even if I use my full power, it would be difficult for me to achieve this speed. Perhap it can compete with a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator’s speed! If it is used with Spatial Bending…” Wang Lin’s eyes shined.

Chapter 1032 – Was I Wrong?

When the Celestial Burial Pool within the Celestial Emperor Cave shattered, the impact scattered everyone like a flock of birds. They all triggered different restrictions and disappeared.

At this moment, within an activated restriction, this place was a dense jungle. It was filled with trees with trunks so thick that they would require multiple people to encircle. At a glance, the sky was covered by the leaves, leaving only small gaps for few ray of sunlight to pass. They looked like pillars of light that descended from the sky.

The ground was filled with rotten leaves. One step and you could sink as deep as your waist. The smell of rotting beast bones was mixed into the leaves, and just one whiff would make want to vomit.

The deeper you went in the jungle, the more dense the leaves became, and the more scarce sunlight became as it couldn’t penetrate into this place. As a result, it made the depths of the jungle more damp.

There was a person sitting on the endless decaying leaves within the depths of this jungle.

His body was like a top and his upper body was naked. A blood red tattoo flickered on his forehead. There were beast heads around him, and these bloody heads made this place smell like blood.

What was strange was that all the skin between the beasts’ eyebrows were ripped off, revealing the fresh flesh beneath.

The pieces of skin that were ripped off was stacked beside the man’s leg and gave off a ghostly light.

After an unknown amount of the time, the man slowly opened his eyes, revealing a terrifying gaze. The man was calm as he looked into the distance. After a long time, he muttered to himself,

“Although I haven’t absorbed all of the ancestor’s holy tattoo, I have gained a lot of enlightenment regarding the Wither Tattoo Spell… However, the memory of my previous master’s figure won’t dissipate…” The man silently pondered before letting out a sigh and closing his eyes once more.

Wang Lin, who was in the depths of the ocean, withdrew his gaze from the large sword. He called the sword back, took off the Wither Tattoo, and placed it inside his bag.

“With this Wither Tattoo, I will have another means of saving myself in a moment of danger, but this Wither Tattoo is indeed mysterious. After leaving the Demon Spirit Land, I must find a chance to make more. However, according to the green gas, the best material for making them is the skin between a fierce beast’s eyebrows.

“The more fierce the beast, the more suitable the skin between the eyebrows will be; it even affects the power of the Wither Tattoo itself. A magic spell must be used to gather the beast’s soul and blood essence between their eyebrows before taking the skin…”

While Wang Lin pondered, he took a deep breath and slapped his bag of holding. There was a flash of yellow light, and the yellow crystal appeared in his hand.

Staring at the crystal, Wang Lin’s eyes became very serious. The thing that mystified him the most was this yellow crystal.

Wang Lin could vaguely feel terrifying fluctuations coming from the crystal, so he didn’t dare to carelessly check it with his divine sense.

“If that mysterious person inside the hall was really Qing Lin, then what is his purpose for giving this to me?” Wang Lin stared at the yellow crystal and began to ponder.

He clearly remembered that the crystal light that was Qing Lin’s avatar entered this yellow crystal. However, no matter how he observed it, he couldn’t find any clues.

It was as if Qing Lin’s avatar had gone missing and what Wang Lin saw was just an illusion.

After staring at it for a long time, Wang Lin withdrew his gaze. He didn’t risk checking it with his divine sense and forcibly suppressed his idea. Then he put the crystal back into his bag.

He had a mysterious feeling that if his divine sense went into it, something unpredictable would occur and it would bring him no benefits.

This kind of feeling was very vague; it was a sliver of spiritual sense he had developed after cultivating for over 1,000 years.

“It is time to leave this place.” Wang Lin stood up and began moving up like a dragon. The bubble moved with him.

From above, the ocean was bright blue, but inside the water, it was completely dark. However, none of this bothered Wang Lin. As the bubble rose, all the water was pushed to the sides.

Wang Lin’s eyes were flashing with deductions, but just as he was about to reach the surface, his expression change. He immediately pushed his two hands to the side.

The bubble he was in suddenly collapsed and a shockwave quickly spread. It charged upward under Wang Lin’s control. As the shockwave charged up, a thunderous rumble echoed as if it had collided with something.

Even the sea water was affected by this loud rumble. Wang Lin felt the sea water near him get ruthlessly pressed down by a powerful force.

His expression turned cold, and he stayed within the ocean but didn’t fly up. He left the area under the pressure and looked up. The sky was filled with demonic energy that moved like demonic dragons in the sky.

A person stood at the center of the demonic energy. This person was surrounded by demonic energy, making it impossible to clearly see this person’s appearance, but you could vaguely see it was a woman.

When Wang Lin approached the surface, he felt a spell charge down toward him. This was why Wang Lin had collapsed the bubble.

“Wang Lin, come out for me!!!” A voice filled with extreme hatred echoed across the world. It even caused the sea water to spread out.

When Wang Lin, who was in the ocean, heard this voice, his eyes narrowed.

“Yao Xixue!!” He couldn’t see her appearance, but the familiar feeling along with the familiar voice allowed Wang Lin to immediately identify her!

Wang Lin revealed a bitter smile and let out a sigh. The grudge between him and Yao Xixue was complicated. Back then, she wanted to use Wang Lin and was in the wrong first. Wang Lin was never one to go easy on a woman, but due to his own cultivation and his fear of the Blood Pill and her father, he sealed her instead of killing her.

Although Wang Lin was hostile toward Blood Ancestor, he admired Blood Ancestor. After all, everything Blood Ancestor had done was for his daughter. If someone had done the same to Wang Ping, he would’ve done what Blood Ancestor had done, but first he would learn what happened.

Blood Ancestor obviously didn’t know what had happened, and he didn’t consider Wang Lin a threat; he even had killing intent. He didn’t care about what happened, he only needed to know who had taken his daughter. That was enough.

If Wang Lin was at his current cultivation level back than, Blood Ancestor wouldn’t have been so extreme; he would’ve found another method to deal with this.

In the end, Wang Lin wasn’t strong enough for Blood Ancestor to take any notice of. Even if he knew what happened and knew that his daughter was at fault, he would’ve still used his powerful cultivation to solve it by force. He would’ve killed Wang Lin to vent the anger in his heart.

It wasn’t that Wang Lin hadn’t considered returning Yao Xixue; he had even considered bearing responsibility for sealing Yao Xixue for hundreds of years. As long as Blood Ancestor’s request wasn’t too extreme, he would have agreed. After all, he was too weak back then.

However, Blood Ancestor didn’t give Wang Lin a chance to explain, and things eventually ended up like now. Every time Wang Lin thought about this, he would let out a sigh.

He clearly separated his gratitude and grudge. He admired Blood Ancestor, which was why he had promised Blood Ancestor another chance to meet Yao Xixue.

After coming to the Demon Spirit Land, Wang Lin knew that it was likely he would meet Yao Xixue. However, the Yao Xixue he remembered was too different from this person covered in demonic energy, so he didn’t recognize her at first.

When Wang Lin looked at the Yao Xixue floating in the sky, he couldn’t help but sigh.

These thoughts flashed through his mind as Yao Xixue’s voice continued to enter his ears.

“Wang Lin, come out! Today, you and I will finish the matter from back then!” As Yao Xixue spoke, both of her hands formed a seal, and demonic energy moved. The demonic dragons in the sky moved and charged at the surface of the ocean. A storm appeared above the ocean and set off monstrous waves.

Endless large waves moved, and as the demonic dragons charged in, the waves spread in all directions, making it seem as if a huge hole had appeared in the ocean. Wang Lin let out a sigh as he shot out from the sea like a ray of lightning and charged straight for the sky.

The moment Wang Lin appeared, hatred came from Yao Xixue’s eyes within the demonic energy. She walked out of the demonic energy and revealed herself to Wang Lin. Her face was filled with scars. She was no longer a beauty like she was in the past, but instead was an ugly woman.

The skin she revealed was completely filled with shocking scars. Wang Lin took a closer look, and he revealed a bitter expression once more.

He vaguely he seemed to see the cold and stunning figure that had appeared before him back then. However, no matter what, he couldn’t seem to match that figure with the person before him.

“Who can clearly say who was right or wrong back then… Her father’s soul is sealed with the Celestial Sealing Stamp, and in order to get revenge, she became like this. Was I wrong…” In Wang Lin’s life, the only thing that mattered to him was to never do something his conscience wouldn’t allow. However, right now, a complex feeling appeared in his heart.

“Wang Lin, you sealed me for hundreds of years. Although I hate you, I can look past it. After all, I did scheme again you first. This matter I can endure, but my father died because of you. My father’s revenge is not something I can let go. I can’t kill you, but there is someone else who can!!” Yao Xixue stared at Wang Lin, almost gnashing her teeth!

Wang Lin silently pondered.

Chapter 1033 – The Completion of Karma (1)

This complex feeling wasn’t only due to Yao Xixue. In truth, after cultivating for over 1,300 years, not only had his cultivation level increased, his comprehension of the heavens had deepened. And along with his accumulated life experience, he began to gradually ponder all the killing he had done.

Yao Xixue was merely the thing that set off his self-reflection.

Just like when he got drunk with Situ Nan, he didn’t dare to look back in his life and see if cultivation was really worth it. In his 1,300 plus years of cultivation, too many people had died by his hands.

Even Wang Lin couldn’t clearly remember how many he had killed. Killing was not something everyone took delight in. For Wang Lin, these 1,000 plus years of killing only made him feel tired.

However, in this cruel cultivation world, if you didn’t kill, you would give away your own life. No one could do anything about being forced into the choice of kill or be killed.

You couldn’t escape from it!

You either live or die, and you often only have one chance.

“If you just did this to me, then that would be the end, but you had to be so vicious against my father. Wang Lin, was there such hatred between you and I? In this cultivation world, it is common to scheme against each other. Although I, Yao Xixue, was wrong, was it enough to sentence me to death??” Yao Xixue stared at Wang Lin. The hatred burned in her eyes, and her voice was filled with sorrow.

Wang Lin silently pondered. He looked at the horizon and his eyes dimmed.

“You sealed me for hundreds of years and you used a dirty method to make it so I couldn’t remain calm. All of this I can withstand because I was in the wrong first. However, you shouldn’t have killed my father!!” In addition to the intense hatred in Yao Xixue’s eyes, there were shining tears.

Wang Lin let out a sigh. More than 1,000 years of cultivation had made heart tough as well. However, he was, after all, a person, not a devil. He had his reasoning and his own morals.

If they don’t offend me, I won’t offend them!

Yao Xixue’s scheme touched Wang Lin’s bottom line, so she had to die! However, due to his worry about Blood Ancestor and the Blood Pill, he didn’t kill her! Then, when facing Blood Ancestor, he had to resist in order to survive. If Blood Ancestor didn’t die, he, Wang Lin, would have!

He had no choice! From Wang Lin’s point of view, he wasn’t wrong!

However, from Yao Xixue’s point of view, she had suffered the price of being sealed for hundreds of years for her scheming against Wang Lin. Like she said, although she hated him, they were even.

However, with the death of her father, did she still need to reason with her father’s killer? She wasn’t able to see what was right or wrong. As the child, no matter what reason, she had to get revenge. From Yao Xixue’s point of view, she wasn’t wrong either.

“All of this is karma… The karmic cause of yesterday will produce the karmic effect of today. Each step was not something she or I could control… If she hadn’t schemed against me first, or I didn’t fear Blood Ancestor, then none of this would have happened.

“Once the cause is born, it will never extinguish, it will only grow. I was trapped for hundreds of years. It’s like the result of trying to keep a lie is to make even more lies.

“The me from back then didn’t comprehend karma and didn’t realize I was already part of the cause.

“Then when Blood Ancestor came hunting me, I thought that was the effect. However, it seems Blood Ancestor wasn’t the effect, only part of the cause!

“The true effect is not having to fight Blood Ancestor or what Yao Xixue said, but my own dao heart!” There was some light in Wang Lin’s eyes.

“My karma domain still hasn’t reach completion, and the progress has been slow. No matter how much enlightenment I have, it seems I can’t comprehend what is truly karma… Back then, I vaguely felt that in order to complete my karma domain, I’ll have to complete all karma related to me. It seems my feeling back then was only partially correct.” Wang Lin’s eyes began to light up even more.

Yao Xixue stared at Wang Lin with a venomous gaze. The more Wang Lin remained silent, the stronger her hatred become and her resentment increased. After letting out a mournful cry, Yao Xixue formed a seal and pointed between her eyebrows without hesitation.

“Wang Lin, let us finish the matter between us. I, Yao Xixue, am willing to sacrifice my soul and my flesh to get revenge for my father!”

The resentment and hatred from Yao Xixue turned into endless hostility, making her look extremely ferocious. The moment her hand pressed between her eyebrows, the light in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with cold demonic flames.

“Demon Ancestor, I, Yao Xixue, am willing to give up the last trace of my will and completely hand over my flesh. However, you have to promise me you will kill him!!” Yao Xixue’s sharp voice echoed through the world.

The moment this sound appeared, a monstrous demonic energy erupted from her body. Her appearance immediately changed due to this demonic energy. Her fingernails grew very long and gave off a cold sharpness.

Her hair suddenly grew until it was at her feet and was scarlet red.

The hideous scars on her face began to move. They connected together and formed a complex rune.

An extremely cold demonic energy completely erupted from her body and spread out across the sky. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the sky was filled with demonic energy.

This demonic energy was filled with cold intent. As the demonic energy spread, cracking sounds came from the ocean. At this instant, most of the ocean froze over!

The water on the surface quickly turned to ice, and it rapidly spread. Even the raging waves were frozen like ice sculptures!

Even the wall-like wave was frozen. From a distance, it looked very amazing.

“As you wish!” A cold voice came from Yao Xixue’s mouth. It was like a chilly wind that swept the world.

She had sacrificed her flesh and soul to completely become a vessel for one of the nine ancient demon spirits. This was the price Yao Xixue had paid to get revenge on Wang Lin.

At this moment, the thing controlling Yao Xixue’s body was no longer her, but one of the nine ancient demon spirits, the wind demon!

The ancient demon was very adaptive. Back then, he was split into nine parts, each with their own independent mind. Some wanted to fuse back together, but there were also those that didn’t and wanted to remain split.

During these hundreds of years, Bei Lou had devoured seven ancient demon spirits and recovered 80% of his previous cultivation. The remaining 20% was with this wind demon.

The wind demon was different from the other ancient demon spirits. The wind demon was unwilling to fuse, and regardless of the cost, had chosen another method. After failing to fuse with countless people, he finally selected Yao Xixue. Using her obsession with her hatred of Wang Lin, he was able to successfully fuse.

This fusion was insane because it was not a possession. First, he passed his ancient demon inheritance to Yao Xixue. Then, at a great risk, collapsed his body to turn into demonic energy that had no consciousness.

As a result, it was giving up his identity as an ancient demon spirit, which was equal to death! At the cost of his own life, he didn’t give Bei Lou a chance to devour him.

This was something not even Bei Lou had expected. When he realized it, it was too late because the wind demon had collapsed.

Although Yao Xixue had the wind demon’s memory inheritance, she couldn’t access most of it, only absorb. In these hundreds of years of absorbing demonic energy, it had gathered to a certain degree.

If she had never chosen to awaken all the memories in the inheritance, then the wind demon wouldn’t have been able to awaken in a short period of time. In truth, the wind demon was gambling that for revenge, Yao xixue was willing to gave up everything for power.

Moreover, even if he had lost the gamble, it wouldn’t have mattered. As long as Yao Xixue continued to absorb demonic energy, then once there was enough, it would automatically force all the memories to open up within the inheritance.

In reality, the wind demon really didn’t survive. The wind demon had already died, and what remained was just his memories!

Yao Xixue was merely the vessel for those memories.

The instant the memories were activated completely, all of Yao Xixue’s memories would disappear, leaving her body with a soul that only had the memories of the wind demon. As a result, she would become the new wind demon!

Facing this phenomenon, even Bei Lou was helpless. The ancient demon spirit he wanted was already gone. It had given up its identity as an ancient demon to become a demonic cultivator; it was no longer an ancient demon!

At this moment, the wind demon’s memories activated along with Yao Xixue’s hatred. All of Yao Xixue’s memories were quickly devoured, leaving only her intense hatred for Wang Lin. Even though the wind demon had devoured her memories, he couldn’t erase this hatred.

The demonic figure flashed, and the wind demon stared coldly at Wang Lin.

“I don’t care about the matter between you and Yao Xixue. She has activated my memories and her existence has already been devoured by me. By doing this, I have done you a favor!” The wind demon licked his lips and slowly retreated. The frozen sea began to melt and the cold energy quickly entered the wind demon’s body.

She was very cautious at this moment because she considered the cultivator before her very dangerous. The aura this cultivator gave off almost made her gasp.

She had only agreed to help Yao Xixue to deceive her to give up everything. Even the last “As you wish” was only to appease Yao Xixue so she wouldn’t resist at the end.

Now that everything was done, she, the wind demon, would not risk fighting against this cultivator she found terrifying for Yao Xixue, who had lost all value.

If the person Yao Xixue wanted to kill was very weak, then she could help, but the person before her made her feel a lot of dread.

Moreover, her current cultivation level was a lot lower than that of the person before her, so she can’t take any risks.

“This is one of the restrictions inside the Celestial Emperor Cave. If all the restrictions are triggered, it won’t be good for you or me. Since there is no feud between us, then I’ll be leaving.” After the wind demon spoke, she continued to retreat.

Chapter 1034 – The completion of karma (2)

Wang Lin slowly raised his head as he pondered, and his gaze fell on the retreating wind demon.

On the outside, she still looked like Yao Xixue, but Wang Lin sensed that it was a completely different person even though it was still Yao Xixue’s soul.

Killing intent flashed in Wang Lin’s eyes and he took a step forward.

The moment he moved forward, the wind demon’s pupils suddenly shrank and she rapidly retreated without hesitation.

She was the wind demon, so her speed was not ordinary. Although she was only a demonic cultivator, her speed was unimaginable. With just one step, she disappeared without a trace.

Wang Lin’s expression remained calm. The ancient god furnace appeared before him and he pointed forward. With a thought, a speck of light appeared far in the distance. The light was around the escaping wind demon. Her eyes filled with shock as the light surrounded her and a force pulled her toward Wang Lin.

Wang Lin’s body didn’t pause. He went with the flow and pressed his finger between the wind demon’s eyebrows when she passed by.

There was a bang and the wind demon’s body was knocked back and she coughed out blood. Her eyes revealed a cold gaze.

“I know that for my karma domain to become complete, not only must I clear all my karma, but I must integrate it with myself…” Wang Lin seemed to be speaking to himself as he charged at the wind demon.

The wind demon let out a roar and formed a seal as she retreated. Dense demonic energy suddenly spread out and the ocean that melted freeze once more. As the wind demon waved the sea below rumbled as countless ice shards flew at Wang Lin.

“Little cultivator, this demon originally didn’t want to kill you, but you don’t know your place!” The wind demon’s voice echoed, then the ice shards suddenly closed in on Wang Lin.

From a distance, the entire world was surrounded by the ice shards that shot at Wang Lin. It was as if they wanted to completely crush Wang Lin.

The moment the ice shards closed in, Wang Lin raised his right hand and gently waved. A sea of flames suddenly appeared before him. At first it wasn’t strong, but soon it erupted and spread in all directions with Wang Lin as the center.

In an instant, the entire sky was red due to the sea of flames.

The ice shards that were rapidly closing in immediately melted into water and then turned into white gas that rose into the air. In an instant, along with the sea of flames, the sky was also filled with white gas.

The wind demon’s pupils shrank and she sucked in a breath of cold air. She had already considered Wang Lin very strong, but it seemed she was still wrong. This person wasn’t just terrifying, he was a complete nightmare!

Even during her peak power, she didn’t dare to say she could claim victory, much less now when she was only at the late stage of Nirvana Scryer.

“The matter with Yao Xixue is the hurdle to complete my karma domain. After hundreds of years, I have unknowingly become immersed and became part of the karma. Only by thoroughly integrating myself can I truly understand karma. Just like I had to enter hell to understand its desires.”

Wang Lin’s eyes became even more clear, and he moved forward. He was surrounded by a sea of flames, and the extremely hot flames charged at the wind demon.

The wind demon’s heart trembled. She clenched her teeth as he pointed at the sky without hesitation and shouted, “Law of the wind!”

After he spoke, a demonic wind raged within the world and circled the wind demon. Then it shattered into broken pieces of wind that charged at Wang Lin with a point from the wind demon.

At this instant the world changed colors and was covered with demonic wind. Even the ocean rumbled loudly.

Cracks appeared in the sky as if it was going collapse. When the blade-like demonic wind swept forward, even the flames dimmed as if they were going to extinguish.

However, this wind wasn’t able to make Wang Lin even retreat half a step. He continued to move forward and allowed the wind to hit his body.

“Now that I’m immersed in this karma, I must break free of it. Only then can my karma domain reach completion and my dao heart will have a breakthrough!” Wang Lin’s right hand formed a fist and he mercilessly threw out a punch moment he said “breakthrough.”

There was a heaven-shaking rumble, and when Wang Lin threw his punch, the shadow of an ancient god appeared. Its head was in the sky and its feet stood on the ocean. The ancient god shadow also threw a punch along with Wang Lin.

“Ancient god!!!” The wind demon gasped. She had thought that the terrifying aura from Wang Lin’s body was familiar. However, the passage of time made her forget many things, and the shadow just now reminded her of many terrifying memories.

“You were actually an ancient god!!” The wind demon’s scalp went numb. She immediately retreated and almost turned into wind as she quickly escaped.

“Everything I did before was not wrong before the karma domain! The reason my karma domain isn’t complete is because after over a thousand years of slaughter, a flaw has appeared in my dao part, like an inner demon!”

Wang Lin’s fist suddenly collided with that endless demonic wind. Popping sounds echoed and the demonic wind was split open and forced to scatter.

Wang Lin stared at the wind demon that had already disappeared into the distance, but he didn’t panic. He slapped his bag of holding and took out the Wither Tattoo. Then he placed it on himself.

The moment the Wither Tattoo was placed on him, a black wind wrapped around Wang Lin and a giant tornado appeared in this world. The moment the tornado appeared, a large whirlpool formed in the ocean below his feet.

A heaven-shaking roar that seemed to be able to pierce the world came from the tornado Wang Lin was in. Then a black bird appeared within the black wind.

The bird’s wings suddenly stretched open. Its body was only few dozen feet tall, but it suddenly expanded greatly when it opened its wings. It was now hundreds of thousands of feet wide!

Its large body could cover the sky!

As the roar that could tear the world echoed, Wang Lin only took one step, and he could feel the wind hitting him as if he was running through walls.

These wall-like obstacles all collapsed before Wang Lin’s ancient god body. The spell of that step was impossible to describe. He seemed to have been separated the world and moved forward at a speed similar to Spatial Bending.

The wind demon had used all her cultivation to escape like crazy. In order to prevent Wang Lin from using that strange power to catch up quickly, she didn’t care about exhausting the demonic energy in her body, so spread out large amount of demonic energy around her as protection.

The demonic energy caused a large ancient demon shadow to appear behind her.

The wind demon was very confident in her speed. Just when she thought she had escaped, she suddenly heard a thunderous rumble from behind her.

The moment she turned around, she lost her wits. Wang Lin was closing in at an unimaginable speed. Along with Wang Lin, the whirlpool that formed before followed. It moved at a shocking speed and created a earth-shattering roar. It was as if the entire ocean was being stirred up!

“The karmic effect lies within my dao heart. The method to clear it is to truly resolve the karma between us!”

“What bullshit karma? This demon can’t understand a word! Since you won’t let me go, this demon will risk it all to kill you!” The wind demon no longer fled. The speed she was extremely confident in was a joke before Wang Lin, so how could she escape?

She had devoured the endless hatred form Yao Xixue that couldn’t be erased, and all of it erupted under Wang Lin’s pursuit. The hatred immediately made the scars on the wind demon’s face became even more ferocious. The scars formed a formation and released a flash of green light.

“Ancient demon treasure, Soul Sealing Flag!” the wind demon shouted as she opened her arms. Large amounts of demonic energy appeared and gathered in her hands.

Endless demonic energy appeared and the entire world was surrounded in a cold aura. The entire world showed signs of freezing, and a howling wind began to blow.

There were flashes of green lightning within the condensing demonic energy above the wind demon. Then three small, green flags slowly flew out.

The moment the three small green flags appeared, the sky changed colors. The ocean below seemed to be split open by a mysterious force. The water was squeezed to the sides in a loud rumble.

Countless shadows appeared above the green flags. Among them was unexpectedly an ancient god and two single-horned ancient devils!

What was even more terrifying was that after the three flags appeared, not only did the sea change, even the world became unstable. As the ocean split, it activated all the restrictions here!

The activation of the restrictions caused a huge fluctuation within the ocean. All the water began to condense, and in the blink of an eye, countless deep gullies without any water appeared.

The intersection of these gullies made the waves even more violent.

What was truly shocking was that if one looked from above, as the endless sea condensed, it was taking a humanoid form!

Chapter 1035 – Generations

The humanoid that was condensed from the water seemed to be asleep, but it was showing signs of awakening.

The wind demon’s expression was ferocious, and she paid no attention to the changes happening in the ocean. Her right hand formed a seal and she chanted a strange sound. This was the language of the Ancient Order. When this sound came from the mouth of an ancient god, it contained majesty and sense of age. When it came from the wind demon, although it contained a sense of age, it was more sharp and eerie.

The wind demon pointed forward and the three small flags began rotating around her. Dense, green gas came from the flags and then a huge phantom appeared. This phantom was tens of thousands of feet tall. It looked indomitable, and it felt like the world couldn’t accommodate its existence.

There were six stars rotating between the eyebrows of this giant phantom.

As the green gas moved, two ferocious figures appeared next to the ancient demon. They were only 1,000 feet tall, but the moment they appeared, a monstrous demonic energy erupted as if they wanted to break free from the shackles of the green gas.

There were six stars rotating in the right eye of each ancient demon.

The moment Wang Lin saw these three shadows, his pupils suddenly shrank.

The wind demon stood before the three phantoms. Her hands formed a seal as she stared at Wang Lin and shouted, “I don’t care if you’re an ancient god. You will become one of the main flags of my ancient demon clan’s holy treasure!”

A flash of killing intent appeared in the wind demon’s eyes and her right hand pointed forward. The three phantoms behind her moved. The 6-star ancient god took a step forward and threw a punch at Wang Lin.

The two ancient devil phantoms charged at Wang Lin with a bloodthirsty auras from the sides as if they wanted to devour Wang Lin.

Although Bei Lou wasn’t a royal ancient demon, his status was not normal among the ancient demon clan. This Soul Sealing Flag was gifted to him by a royal ancient demon. Although it was not as powerful as a royal treasure, it still had great power.

Before Bei Lou was divided, he had the Soul Sealing Flag. Once he summoned it, all 49 small flags would fly out. Not everyone sealed inside was killed by him; they were sealed there by generations of people who were its masters before him.

Bei Lou was only the seventh generation owner. Rumors had it that the first owner was extremely powerful and strong enough to directly confront later generation ancient gods. He was an extremely rare fourth generation ancient demon!

The Ancient Order was a clan that defied the heavens and then split into three different clans. The first generation ancient gods, ancient demons, and ancient devils contained a large amount of the Ancient Order bloodline and inheritance.

After them were the second generation ancient gods, ancient demons, and ancient devils. Although they were weaker than their first generation counterparts, they still had a lot of the Ancient Order bloodline.

However, as time passed, the Ancient Order bloodline and inheritance became more scarce among the three clans, and in the end there was only a trace.

The so-called royal clan was the group with the most Ancient Order bloodline remaining. They were also the direct descendants of the first generation of the three clans.

Bei Lou was a 79th generation ancient demon, but his treasure had a long history and was very famous.

However, the wind demon had gave up her identity as an ancient demon, so her ancient demon body had dissipated and therefore she could no longer use the real treasure. At this moment, the three flags were formed by condensing her demonic energy into phantoms. It was much like how Wang Lin summon the God Slaying Spear.

The wind demon pointed forward and the ancient god and ancient demons from the flag charged at Wang Lin. Wang Lin was able to immediately see through the three flags. His right hand reached out at the void and a crack appeared along with a thunderous boom.

It was as if a large gully had appeared in the sky. Lightning arched along the edge of the gully and thunderous rumbles could be heard.

At the same time as Wang Lin’s right hand grasped the void, a heaven-shaking pressure came out of the gully.

This pressure was extremely powerful, and it immediately caused the wind demon’s expression to change!

The thunderous rumbles were echoing across the world when a ray of black light flew into Wang Lin’s hand. It was the God Slaying Spear!

“Royal ancient god holy treasure!!” The wind demon had memories of this. When she saw the God Slaying Spear, her pupils shrank and her eyes filled with fear.

“You’re a royal bloodline ancient god!”

Wang Lin’s right hand held the God Slaying Spear and waved it forward. The 6-star ancient god’s body trembled as he stared at the God Slaying Spear, and his dim gaze suddenly looked bright.　

He was only an ordinary 6-star ancient god, so in term of generations, he was even lower than Bei Lou. Now that he saw his clan’s holy treasure, his body trembled and stopped.

If the Soul Sealing Flag was actually here, he wouldn’t have done this, but what the wind demon summoned was only an phantom. It was far weaker than the real thing, and even the souls sealed inside it were weakened significantly.

The wind demon secretly complained and hated Yao Xixu for provoking such a terrifying existence. If she had known she had provoked someone like Wang Lin, she would have never fused with Yao Xixue.

“Damn it. In Yao Xixue’s memories he was so weak that he could be killed with a flick of my finger. How could he be an ancient god and even a royal bloodline ancient god?!”

The wind demon knew in her heart that the royal bloodline was extremely rare to the point of extinction among the three clans, so it was very difficult to find one. Bei Lou had only met a royal bloodline ancient demon by pure chance.

In truth, with the wind demon’s strength, as long as she didn’t encounter Wang Lin, she could have done as she liked thanks to her various spells and unmatched speed, even if the likes of Situ Nan came.

However, when facing Wang Lin, all of her methods were suppressed. Her speed wasn’t fast enough, her spells weren’t strong enough, and even her treasures weren’t useful. Although both were only phantoms, she couldn’t beat Wang Lin’s royal treasures.

At this moment, as Wang Lin’s God Slaying Spear swept forward, the world changed colors as if everything was trembling. The God Slaying Spear swept straight toward the two trembling ancient demons.

These two ancient demons were only phantoms that didn’t contain any of the power of the true Soul Sealing Flag. If they encountered ordinary cultivators, they could put up a fight, but they weren’t even qualified to face Wang Lin’s God Slaying Spear!

When the God Slaying Spear whistled by, it was fast beyond imagination. One of the ancient demons’ body was pierced by the spear. It turned into endless demonic energy that seemed to be swept away by the spear.

In the blink of an eye, the ancient demon’s body disappeared.

The wind demon’s pupils shrank. At the moment of life and death, she i spat out blood without hesitation. Then her right hand quickly formed a strange mark and she pointed forward and shouted, “Flag Destruction!”

The green flags that formed the three phantoms rapidly rotated and then collapsed under the command of the wind demon. The powerful impact turned into a green dragon that charged at the God Slaying Spear.

When the small flags collapsed, the remaining ancient god and ancient demon collapsed. They entered the green dragon and made it even more powerful!

The God Slaying Spear and the green dragon collided at an extremely fast speed. The moment they touched, a sphere 1,000 feet wide appeared between the two treasures.

This sphere contained black and green gas that continued to fight against each other. The sphere was also flashing along its edges, and popping sounds continued to come out from inside it.

A terrifying destructive pressure surrounded the area in an instant.

This was a battle between the treasure of the ancient god and ancient demon clans. One was the royal God Slaying Spear and the other was one of four first generation ancient devil treasures.

They were both just illusions, but they were very powerful! The black gas inside the orb was filled with aggrance, as if everything before it had to be destroyed. The green gas struggled like crazy, but it couldn’t escape the fate of being forced to retreat.

When the green gas retreated, the entire ball became black. Just at this moment, the orb divided!

There was a heaven-shaking sound that echoed in the world. The thunderous rumble could churn the clouds and tear the sky. As the sound echoed, it set off the ocean waves once more.

Under the impact of the collapse, the green dragon collapsed and dissipated. The God Slaying Spear pierced through and charged at the wind demon

The wind demon coughed out blood. Her treasure was destroyed, and although it was only an illusion, it was still linked to her demonic energy. Seriously injured, she saw the God Slaying Spear close in. Her face turned pale and she quickly retreated.

Wang Lin’s expression was cold and he quickly gave chase.

The wind demon became extremely angry and cursed, “I didn’t get involved with the matter between you and Yao Xixue. You keep claiming its karma, karma. I’m a wind demon, not some damn karma!”

“You were originally outside of this karma, but you forcibly joined in. If you choose to give up Yao Xixue’s body, I can let you go!”

“Bullshit, I’m only a memory. How do I leave!?” The wind demon gnashed her teeth. She inwardly regretted fusing with Yao Xixue.

Although the wind demon didn’t understand karma, she had a vague feeling that she had entered a situation she couldn’t escape!

The God Slaying Spear closed in and was about to catch up to the wind demon when Wang Lin’s eyes lit up.

Just at this moment, Wang Lin’s expression changed and his body moved. Then a giant hand made of water came out of the ocean and swept past where Wang Lin was, and it grabbed hold of the God Slaying Spear.

The hand ruthlessly squeezed the God Slaying Spear, causing the spear to emit a powerful black light.

Chapter 1036 – Your Name is Yao Xixue

The flower restriction in the Celestial Emperor Cave was completely activated by the fight between Wang Lin and the wind demon. The large hand grabbed the God Slaying Spear and immediately tried to drag it down.

There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin’s eyes and he shouted, “Collapse!”

After he spoke, the black light from the God Slaying Spear intensified until it was like a black sun. Even the arm formed by the ocean looked black from the light.

The moment this black light reached a limit, a loud bang echoed across the world and a devastating destructive force swept by. The arm made of sea water collapsed and even the sea water itself dissipated.

However not only did Wang Lin’s expression not relax but became even more serious. Even the wind demon’s expression changed as she stared at the ocean.

Roar!!

A low roar came from the ocean. This roar was heaven-shaking and turned into a sound wave that echoed across the world. The thunderous rumbles couldn’t cover up this roar.

At the same time, the ocean churned violently and started to rise. Wang Lin’s pupils shrank and the scene before him made him gasp.

This wasn’t water rising into the air, but the humanoid figure formed by the ocean sitting up!

This was a giant whose size was impossible to estimate. Just sitting up made it feel as if it was about to pierce the sky. Its huge body was composed of water, and when it sat up, the deep seabed was revealed.

The ocean was no longer there; only this giant made of sea water remained.

A sea giant!

It was impossible clearly see its appearance with its muddled facial features, but its large ears made it look nothing like a cultivator. It coldly stared at the small Wang Lin and wind demon in the sky. Then it slowly raised its hand, which set off a huge wave, and reached toward Wang Lin.

Before it even closed in, a loud rumble rushed at him like a gust of wind. Wang Lin immediately retreated and dodged the approaching palm.

“A mere restriction formed by dew. I don’t consider you worth of my attention!” Two balls of flame appeared in Wang Lin’s eyes and the Vermillion Bird Tattoo on his body glowed red.

The moment the giant’s hand swept by, Wang Lin opened his arms and a sea of flames erupted from his body.

The moment the sea of flames appeared, it began to sweep the area as Wang Lin’s origin energy surged out. In the blink of an eye, it filled the sky and caused a loud rumble!

This scene was extremely shocking. The sky was covered in a sea of flames, and below it was a giant made of seawater!

The moment the giant’s arm closed in, Wang Lin let out a roar within the sea of flames. Wang Lin’s will infused into the flame and the entire sea of flames descended from the sky at the giant.

The sea of flames fell like a rain of fire down on the sea giant. The flames released high heat before they even closed in on the giant. The wind demon saw this from a distance and gasped. She dreaded Wang Lin even more now.

In almost an instant, the sea of flames gathered from all directions around the sea giant. Large amounts of water vapor spread out as white mist in a ring shape.

The sea giant roared once more. As it roared, it was as if all the water inside its body was boiling, and then it suddenly scattered in all directions.

It looked as if the sea wanted to devour the sky. From a distance, you wouldn’t be able to tell Wang Lin was fighting, because it looked like the sky and ocean were battling each other!

The sea was majestic and charged directly at the sea of flames in the sky. In an instant, a monstrous wave that was like a wall that connected to the sky swept across. It formed a ring and began contracting toward the center like crazy.

The rumbling was heaven-shaking. As the sea wall closed in, all of the flames were immediately extinguished. The wall shrank until it was only 1,000 feet from Wang Lin, and all the fire it touched had collapsed.

As it contracted, a giant face appeared within the wall when it was 1,000 feet from Wang Lin.

This was the face of the sea giant. The moment it appeared, it let out a roar and opened its mouth. It then charged at Wang Lin to devour him!

The flame in Wang Lin’s eyes burned brightly and the Vermillion Bird Tattoo shined through his clothes. With a thought, a Vermillion Bird cry came from within his body.

This Vermillion Bird cry was powerful and majestic. Just at this moment, Wang Lin’s entire body began to burn and the red Vermillion Bird rushed out from his body and opened its wings. At this moment, an indescribable sea of flames appeared!

The moment the sea giant’s mouth arrived, a trace of killing intent flashed in Wang Lin’s eyes, and he softly said, “Vermillion Bird Flame!”

After he spoke those words, the Vermillion Bird above him suddenly expanded its wings and endless flames erupted and spread in all directions!

These flames were boundless, and as they spread, miserable roar came from the sea giant as it was forced to retreat.

Even the wall-like wave that was within 1,000 feet of Wang Lin immediately evaporated when it came in contact with the flame. The water turned to mist and was pushed back!

It retreated several times faster than when it closed in. However, the Vermillion Bird’s flames chased closely after it. At this moment, the wall of water dissipated and condensed back into the sea giant.

However, the size of the sea giant had changed greatly. It was now less than 10,000 feet tall, and it was no longer sitting but standing.

The moment the sea giant reformed, the Vermillion Bird flame descended and surrounded the giant. Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he pointed forward.

The Vermillion Bird let out another cry. It turned into a ball of flames and charged like a meteor toward the sea giant. It broke through the seawater and went inside the sea giant.

Miserable roars continued to come from the sea giant. It was surrounded by flames already, and when the Vermillion Bird charged in, even its insides were burning!

As the sea giant was burning from both inside and outside, it waved its arms as if it was struggling. However, it couldn’t stop the water that formed its body from being turned into gas that filled the sky.

This made the wind demon reveal an extremely bitter expression. She finally realized the gap between her and Wang Lin, and this made her silently ponder.

However, there was a flash of viciousness in her eyes that were filled with frustration.

As the sea giant struggled in vain and its body continued to dissipate into mist, its body got smaller and smaller. Just when it was about to disappear completely, the sea giant let out a thunderous roar and its entire body began to contract until it was only one drop of water. Then it unexpectedly broke through the flames and charged straight at Wang Lin.

The Vermillion Bird cried once more and chased closely after the drop of water.

The drop of water was so fast that it instantly closed in on Wang Lin. It was obviously its last struggle before death! But Wang Lin didn’t panic, and a flash of blue light came from his right eye. The azure light shield immediately appeared before him!

There was a thunderous roar when a powerful impact hit the azure light shield. It was pushed back several inches by the force, but it didn’t crack. It blocked the attack of the drop of water.

At the same time, the Vermillion Bird closed in and surrounded the drop of water with unimaginable heat. The water droplet became smaller and smaller before it finally disappeared after one final roar.

The roar of the sea giant still echoed across the sky. However, when the last water drop disappeared, the entire sky rumbled as if it was going to collapse. At this moment, the sky seemed to be torn, and the seabed shattered inch by inch.

This collapse only lasted for several breaths before the sky shattered. The seabed also shattered and exposed the green beneath it!

This entire world was only a drop of dew on the leaf of a flower. Wang Lin only felt his vision blur, and when he reappeared, he was in the flower field he fell in before!

The moment the ocean world collapsed, the wind demon charged out at full speed. Her goal was to charge into another restriction to escape.

However, just as she moved, Wang Lin’s figure appeared. Terrified, the wind demon was going to retreat when a cold voice entered her ears.

“Stop!”

The wind demon’s body suddenly stopped. Although she recovered in an instant, it was enough for Wang Lin. Wang Lin raised his right hand and pointed at a scar on the wind demon’s face.

With a sizzling sound, the scar on the wind demon’s face disappeared, revealing white skin below it.

“Yao Xixue, I won’t kill you. I will save you… This will clear our karma and let you meet your father. After that, we will go our own ways and never meet again.”

Wang Lin’s right hand didn’t stop. Every time he pressed down, one of the wind demon’s scars would disappear. His hand was very fast, leaving behind many afterimages.

Before the Stop spell stopped working, another Stop spell was used. Fear filled wind demon’s eyes. She had already guessed what Wang Lin was going to do.

As Wang Lin’s right hand continued to move, the countless scars on the wind demon slowly disappeared until none were left. At this moment, the wind demon returned back to her previously beautiful self.

Her jade-like white skin seemed like it would shatter from just a breath. The crystal clear color emitted a special kind of charm.

For an instant, Wang Lin thought he could see the Yao Xixue from back then…

Finally, Wang Lin pointed to the spot between the wind demon’s eyebrows. The wind demon’s body immediately trembled. She remembered how Wang Lin had used that strange teleportation spell when the battle started. He could have seriously injured her, but instead he had chosen to simply point to between her eyebrows.

During that moment of crisis, she didn’t think too much. However, when Wang Lin pointed to between her eyebrows again, the wind demon seemed to realize something.

“The first point was to make yours and Yao Xixue’s memories fuse and thus create an opening. Only then would there be a chance for a rescue…” Wang Lin seemed to be talking to himself as he pointed at the wind demon one last time. His eyes revealed a strange light.

When the wind demon saw this gaze, a chill swept her heart.

“If you had really done as you promised, help Yao Xixue get revenge, then you would’ve been part of the karma rather than an intrusion… If that were the case, I wouldn’t have interfered.

“However, you didn’t do that. I don’t care that you cheated Yao Xixue, but you destroyed the chance for my life and death domain and karma domain to evolve… Moreover, your inheritance is only memories, and the real you is dead… Although you call yourself a demon, you are just Yao Xixue. You can’t die, because you’re just a memory.”

The mysterious light in Wang Lin’s eyes became even stronger. Then he opened his mouth and inhaled deeply!

Wang Lin used the most overbearing devouring spell passed down from Qing Shui! What he devoured was the demonic energy inside Yao Xixue!

The fear in the wind demon’s eyes reached its limit when this suction force appeared. She felt all the demonic energy in her body get sucked into this cultivator’s mouth.

The demonic energy came out of the wind demon and was sucked into Wang Lin’s mouth. Finally, even the memories engraved inside Yao Xixue’s soul were also inhaled by Wang Lin.

“You shouldn’t have left your memories inside Yao Xixue. There is no hatred between us, so I’ll find another vessel for you…”

The fear in Yao Xixue’s eyes dissipated and her body trembled. Confusion filled her eyes and she was extremely weak. The moment she became sober, she immediately retreated a few steps, and the confusion in her eyes became even stronger.

“You are…” Yao Xixue stared at Wang Lin, but her mind was completely blank. No matter how much she tried, she couldn’t find any memories. The fear of having no memories immediately appeared on her face.

The current her was helpless, and the fear on her face clearly landed in Wang Lin’s eyes.

“Your name is Yao Xixue… And I’m a friend of yours…”

“Yao Xixue…” Yao Xixue muttered softly, but confusion still filled her eyes. However, there was a hint of caution in her gaze at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin let out a sigh, then he opened his mouth and a ray of ghostly light came out. This startled Yao Xixue, and she exclaimed and retreated once more. Her gaze was no longer cautious but filled with fear.

After losing all her memories, she was like a mortal seeing a cultivator use spells for the first time!

The 18 Hell Celestial Sealing Stamp appeared before Wang Lin. After pondering for a moment, he pointed at the 14th layer. There was only one soul inside the 14th layer! This soul was surrounded in a mist of blood and gave off a monstrous amount of resentment. It was Blood Ancestor!

Chapter 1037 – Meeting

When Wang Lin’s finger landed on the 18 Hell Celestial Sealing Stamp, there was a flash of red light. It was as if a blood-colored light had filled the cave and made the flowers red.

As the blood light became brighter, a red mist came out from the 14th layer. Blood Ancestor stared at Wang Lin with a bloodthirsty gaze from within the red mist. However, he immediately noticed Yao Xixue’s presence and looked over. He was startled for a moment and then his expression became gentle.

Yao Xixue’s face was pale as she looked at everything before her.

“Blood Ancestor, I promised you back then that I’d let you meet your daughter. Now I have completed my promise.” Wang Lin waved his right hand and the red mist around Blood Ancestor dissipated. This released him from Wang Lin’s control.

Blood Ancestor’s soul flashed red and gradually took human form. He stared at his daughter before him, and his eyes filled with excitement.

“The matter from back then is over now. Yao Xixue schemed against me and was sealed for hundreds of years. You wanted to kill me and ended up like this. I was also a cause in this matter as Yao Xixue lost her memory to become a puppet for the wind demon to get revenge. Now that I’ve saved her, let us forget the past.

“From now on, you two no longer have anything to do with me. Our karma is cleared. If you continue to entangle me, then don’t blame me for killing both of you and not allowing either of you to enter the reincarnation cycle!”

Wang Lin’s calm voice contained a hint of coldness. He waved his sleeves and walked into the distance.

“Blood Ancestor, you don’t need to return to the 14th layer. I set you free to accompany your daughter. This is the Celestial Emperor Cave in the Demon Spirit Land. You two can find a place to hide until the entire cave has been opened.”

Yao Xixue’s gaze fell on Wang Lin’s back, and she was filled with confusion. She couldn’t think of anything but also didn’t want to think about it. There was a voice in her mind telling her that her past was like the wind. It was now gone and she should just let it be….

Yao Xixue could tell it was her voice, as if they were the last words she left herself before losing her memories.

Blood Ancestor looked at Wang Lin, who gradually walked away, and revealed a complex expression. After the seal was released, he regained his consciousness. Although he was only a soul, someone of his cultivation level could find a way to reform his body and continue to cultivate.

When Wang Lin’s leaving figure entered his eyes, there was no longer the hatred he had in the past.

Blood Ancestor understood that if Wang Lin wanted to kill them, it wouldn’t take any effort. Wang Lin didn’t kill them and instead gave him freedom and his daughter a new life.

After letting out a sigh, the hatred was no longer important. What was important was his daughter’s safety. Although she was left with no memories, it might have been for the best.

After experiencing all of this, Blood Ancestor felt old. The only thing in his mind was allowing his daughter to live peacefully… It was better to let everything else go.

Blood Ancestor looked kindly at Yao Xixue and softly said, “Child, come with Dad.”

Although she had lost her memories, she felt a sense of trust toward Blood Ancestor from her blood. The father and daughter duo gradually walked away.

“…. Dad, was what he said just now true?”

“Truth and lies are no longer important. We will have never have contact with him anymore… He is not someone we can provoke…” As Blood Ancestor spoke, he looked into the distance. He could no longer see through Wang Lin.

“He is no longer a junior that I don’t even need to pay attention to. In just these several hundreds of years, he has already grown to such a degree…”

Wang Lin’s expression was calm as he slowly moved forward. His method in dealing with the karma regarding Yao Xixue might seem strange from someone else’s point of view. However, as long as he thought that that was how it should be, then that’s how it will be.

Wang Lin gradually walked away step after step. A powerful aura began gathering in his body, and it became stronger as he walked. In the end, this aura was monstrous.

Wang Lin’s eyes became brighter under this monstrous aura.

After he dealt with the matter with Yao Xixue and escaped from that karma, his dao heart became complete. Wang Lin could feel his stagnant cultivation beginning to show signs of a breakthrough.

Yao Xixue and Blood Ancestor had disappeared into an restriction to wait for the day the cave was completely opened. Looking around the cave, there was no one else left in the cave.

The ruin caused by the explosion of the Celestial Burial Pool was still there. Not far away was the deep pit where the Celestial Burial Pool was. Slivers of cold energy came out from inside the pit.

After looking around, Wang Lin’s gaze looked ahead. This was only the outer part of the Celestial Emperor Cave, and he was not even close to the inner part. From here, he could see the large amount of pavilions and buildings in the distance.

These buildings formed an irregular pattern. At the end of Wang Lin’s line of sight, he could see a palace in the depths of these buildings surrounding by a veil of dense, black fog. The palace could barely be seen.

While pondering, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he slapped his bag of holding. A jade appeared in his hand. It was a celestial jade that gave off a gentle light.

Wang Lin originally obtained this in the Demon Spirit Land. Inside it was the Stop spell and the method for refining celestial guards. Wang Lin remembered that when he examined the jade, there was also a map inside.

However, Wang Lin felt like this map was unfamiliar, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. Looking at the cave now, he vaguely felt it was familiar.

Then he remembered the map in the jade. When he took out the jade, his divine sense went inside it, and his expression changed. The place the map depicted was this Celestial Emperor Cave.

Wang Lin carefully examined the map and carefully remembered everything. After pondering for a bit, he didn’t move carelessly. Instead, he retreated next to the pit left by the Celestial Burial Pool and looked down.

The pit was completely dark, and his gaze couldn’t pierce it.

“This place is not bad!” Wang Lin took a step and entered the pit. However, he didn’t descend very fast; he only went down few hundred feet. Then Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding, causing a dozen large swords to fly out and sweep the sides of the pit.

Gravel flew everywhere, and a moment later, a cave was formed. Wang Lin went inside and sat down.

After taking a deep breaths, Wang Lin placed many restrictions before he calmed down. Then he slapped his bag of holding, causing a ray of silver light to fly out, and it turned into a beautiful woman.

This woman looked at Wang Lin but didn’t speak. She sat down next to the entrance and guarded Wang Lin.

Wang Lin examined the silver female corpse while he sat there. He felt like there was something different around her after she absorbed the flower poison. However, he couldn’t tell what it was.

He spread out his divine sense and found that the original control seal inside her body was still there. It wasn’t damaged at all, and all the other hidden restrictions he had placed were there as well. Only then did he relax and close his eyes to cultivate.

“Now that my cultivation is showing a sign of a breakthrough, I must take this chance and ascend. Only then can I gain a better chance in this Celestial Emperor Cave.”

When he closed his eyes, the origin energy inside him suddenly cycled through his whole body. A trace of fiery heat came out from his body, but it stayed within certain distance from his body and didn’t spread.

His domain had made a breakthrough due to the matter with Yao Xixue. Now that Wang Lin began using his cultivation, his cultivation, which was stagnant at the peak of the mid stage of Nirvana Scryer, began to loosen.

Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, three days passed. During these three days, Wang Lin didn’t move, and the origin energy inside his body cycled even faster. In the end, the flow of his origin energy was so smooth, it was impossible to tell where it began or ended.

The silver female corpse had protected Wang Lin the whole time. She would often look at Wang Lin for a long time, and there would be a trace of confusion in her gaze. However, this trace of confusion would be immediately hidden very well.

On the fourth day, Wang Lin opened his eyes. After pondering for a bit, he took out few origin souls of people he had killed. Then he devoured them without any hesitation.

“There isn’t enough origin energy here, so this is the only way to make a breakthrough!”

While Wang Lin’s cultivation level was increasing from the mid stage of Nirvana Scryer, a shocking scene occurred far away from the Celestial Emperor Cave. Every Alliance cultivator who saw this was shocked.

There were red flames coming from the distant horizon. It was as if the flames were coming to burn everything into nothingness.

The red flames gradually closed in and became brighter and brighter. The light was extremely harsh, and it looked as if the endless flames were going to sweep across the stars. They were also moving at an unimaginable speed.

An extremely large Vermillion Bird with wings hundreds of kilometers wide was flying at the front of the flames.

This Vermillion Bird was composed of fire, and its unimaginable heat could be felt from far away. The heat from this Vermillion Bird would shock all cultivators.

Wherever the Vermillion Bird passed, the pupils of all the nearby cultivators shrank and they rushed to avoid it. They didn’t dare to approach at all. Any powerful cultivator with any worldly knowledge suddenly felt an ancient name explode in their mind when they saw the Vermillion Bird!

“Vermillion Bird Divine Sect!!”

Chapter 1038 – Peak of Nirvana Scryer

The ancient Vermillion Bird Divine Sect seemed to have become a myth. These four words didn’t even exist in the minds of some cultivators.

The Four Divine Sect had faded away for far too long. Their former glory had become a memory of the past, and even that gradually disappeared with the passage of time.

Only a few powerful cultivators still retained respect for the Four Divine Sect in their memories. They would tremble from the bottom of their hearts when they hear the name “Four Divine Sect.”

The Four Divine Sect was even more powerful and mysterious than the current Cultivation Alliance. Even the Brilliant Void Realm dreaded the Four Divine Sect.

As a result, they teamed up with the Cultivation Alliance. After many conspiracies, they were able to bring the Four Divine Sect to their weakest point.

The most powerful Azure Dragon Divine Emperor went missing and the news of the most feared Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor entering his third Heaven’s Blight was leaked. This opened the Four Divine Sect for an unprecedented crisis!

Nevertheless, the Four Divine Sect was still strong enough to fight against the Cultivation Alliance, and they didn’t fear the Brilliant Void Realm. After all, for various reasons, the Brilliant Void Realm could only help in secret. Even if they stepped out, the Four Divine Sect could activated the Four Divine Treasures and put up a fight.

However, at the most critical moment of the Four Divine Sect’s battle against the Alliance, a heaven-shaking event occurred that eventually caused the Four Divine Sect to finally decline!

The Black Tortoise Divine Emperor, his three major disciples, and a majority of his sect betrayed the Four Divine Sect! Not only this, but during the betrayal, he sneak-attacked the Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor. Although he ultimately failed, he caused the third Heaven’s Blight, which the Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor was suppressing to erupt.

This kind of thing was completely unbelievable for the Four Divine Sect, who relied on bloodline inheritances. The betrayal of the Black Tortoise Divine Emperor and a majority of his sect caused an unimaginable change to this war.

Originally, with the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor missing, the ancient Four Divine Treasures lost a lot of their power. Now that the Black Tortoise Divine Emperor had betrayed the Four Divine Sect, the power of the Four Divine Treasures weakened even more.

Even until now, no one knew why the Black Tortoise Divine Emperor, who was one of the four divine emperors, betrayed the Four Divine Sect. This whole thing was an unsolved mystery.

The betrayal of the Black Tortoise Divine Emperor strengthened the Cultivation Alliance. That battle shook the entire star system and left bloody corpses everywhere.

However, the Cultivation Alliance still underestimated the Four Divine Sect. After the betrayal, the Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor risked failing his third Heaven’s Blight and filled the stars with a sea of flames. He then split into 10 avatars and launched a crazy counter attack.

This battle was a tragedy. The few cultivators that survived would shiver every time they remembered it.

In the end, the Four Divine Sect was defeated. The Brilliant Void Realm broke the promise they had made countless years ago to not get involved in the battle and openly joined the fight. The original intention was to completely wipe out the Four Divine Sect.

However, even they underestimated the Four Divine Sect. The Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor lost eight avatars and his original body almost collapsed, leaving behind only a trace of will.

The Azure Dragon Divine Sect suffered heavy casualties; only one or two out of every 10 members survived! The Black Tortoise Divine Sect almost collapsed!

The White Tiger Divine Emperor killed many of the Alliance’s first group of elders and many people from the Brilliant Void Realm. Even in the end, when he died, his body didn’t collapse but stood there, blocking the Cultivation Alliance’s army. The monstrous killing intent he released shocked countless people and made it so none of them dared to move forward.

This tragic war ended here, and it cOULD be said that both sides suffered greatly. The Four Divine Sect lost, but the Cultivation Alliance’s strength also suffered greatly. Even the Brilliant Void Realm had to stop their plans to completely wipe out the Four Divine Sect. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but if they continued, then the price for winning was not something the Alliance or the Brilliant Void Realm could withstand.

After all, there was still the rumor Four Divine Treasures that could split the heavens. If they really forced the Four Divine Sect into a desperate situation, the Four Divine Sect could easily sacrifice the entire sect to take them down with them.

From then on, the Four Divine Sect disappeared without a trace. In these tens of thousands of years, they almost never appeared, and even when they did, they only occupied a small number of planets. In such a way, they also integrated into the Alliance; planet Suzaku was a good example.

However, the appearance of a Vermillion bird hundreds of thousands of kilometers large among the stars clearly signalled that the Four Divine Sect would surge within the star system once more!

Along the way, even the meteors that flew by were burned to ashes by the Vermillion Bird. This shocked many Alliance cultivators, and they began to speculate.

Even Allheaven immediately obtained information about the appearance of the Vermillion Bird. When Master Flamespark heard the news, he immediately began to laugh.

The war that Allheaven had put on hold had begun once more on a large scale. They used the northern region as a base and swept forward.

Even more Allheaven cultivators came from Allheaven. Almost all of cultivators in Allheaven were pulled out to attack the Alliance in full force!

Wang Lin didn’t know about any of this. At this moment, he was sitting in the hole, cultivating with his eyes closed. Every now and then, he would take out an origin soul to devour. Fortunately, he had enough origin souls inside his bag for him to devour.

The origin energy inside his body cycled faster and faster. A powerful aura surrounded his body and swept the area like a storm.

The cave he was in wasn’t big, and countless cracks appeared within the storm and large amounts of gravel fell off the walls. But Wang Lin wasn’t aware of any of this. He had reached a critical moment in his breakthrough.

Before any gravel could land on him, there would a flash of silver light. It was the silver female corpse shattering all of them.

Endless origin energy came from the origin souls Wang Lin devoured, and the origin energy gathered inside Wang Lin’s origin soul like crazy. If it was before the Vermillion Bird awakening and his origin energy didn’t contain the holy flame, then he would have already broken through.

However, Wang Lin’s origin energy contained flames, so the origin energy he devoured had to be altered. It was refined inside his origin soul.

Although it was more troublesome, once it succeeds, Wang Lin’s strength will increase several fold.

Large amounts of origin energy changed to contain powerful flames, causing Wang Lin’s body to release large amounts of heat as the origin energy cycled through his body. The sides of the cave turned red and collapsed. It was as if these rocks had been buried inside a volcano for a long time and contained extreme heat.

The silver female corpse frowned, but she didn’t move even half a step.

As his aura grew stronger and stronger, the origin energy storm from his body also became stronger. A loud rumble shook the cave and caused a widespread collapse.

The ground Wang Lin was sitting on suddenly cracked. As the floor gave out, Wang Lin fell down. The storm around him kicked away all the fallen gravel. Right now, Wang Lin’s storm was like a drill digging down.

The silver female corpse followed Wang Lin as a ray of silver light. The high heat flowed into her face, causing her pale face to turn slightly more red. She didn’t blink and always kept her eyes on Wang Lin.

Wang Lin’s body continued to sink, then he suddenly opened his eyes. Two beams of flames came out from his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, the storm around him reached a peak and swept the area. Then the aura of a late stage Nirvana Scryer cultivator spread out.

This powerful feeling made him feel as if he controlled the world. At this moment, he felt as if he could destroy the world with one spell. Everything he saw changed; everything before him seemed to be made of strings.

This was the law within his eyes!

After reaching the second step, one had to scry the laws. Once one had reached a certain point, they would be able to reach the peak of Nirvana Scryer.

“I’ve broken through!” Wang Lin took a deep breath. Just reaching the late state of Nirvana Scryer was not enough for him. After his domain evolved and he reached the late stage Nirvana Scryer, he felt like there was still some room. He only needed enough origin energy to reach the peak of the late stage of Nirvana Scryer!

Wang Lin’s eyes shined. He had no time to check himself, so he just devoured all the origin souls inside his body. At this moment, his late stage Nirvana Scryer energy was altered to contain flames and became much stronger.

The origin energy inside Wang Lin’s body continued to transform, and Wang Lin’s body temperature gradually rose. The Vermillion Bird Tattoo charged out of his body and circled around him.

The cries of the Vermillion Bird echoed. Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he began to frown.

“Just a bit more…”

While pondering, Wang Lin’s body flickered and his avatar walked out. Now there were two Wang Lins. The original body sat down and, due to being separated from the avatar, his monstrous killing intent filled the area.

The avatar had a calm face. After he left the original body, he stepped out from the cave. He floated in the air and the Vermillion Bird quickly hovered over him. Wang Lin took a deep breath and the origin energy inside his body reached a peak. A ball of flames lit up in his left eye, and his right eye contained a blue ball of thunder.

Then his origin soul flew out from between his eyebrows. The ancient thunder dragon’s roar that could control all thunder echoed inside the pit.

At this moment, the way Wang Lin saw the world changed drastically.

Chapter 1039 – Liu Mei (1)

The world changed. Even though this was the Celestial Emperor Cave, it couldn’t stop Wang Lin’s gaze. Flames surged in his left eye and thunder flashed in his right eye.

At this instant, the world before Wang Lin was completely different from before.

The deep pit before him slowly became transparent until it disappeared completely. What appeared before Wang Lin were these black lines that intersected with each other. These black lines filled the world.

This deep pit was obviously formed by these lines. When Wang Lin saw this, he was dumbfounded for a moment.

He slowly turned around and looked at another place. As his eyes moved, the walls on the sides disappeared and turned into a myriad of intersecting lines.

Staring at these disorderly lines, Wang Lin suddenly had an impulse. He raised his hand and reached at the lines. However, at this moment, a powerful force came from the lines that dispersed Wang Lin’s force. Wang Lin’s hand bounced off and a powerful rebound force arrived.

With a bang, Wang Lin was forced back several steps before he stopped. There was no frustration on his face, but instead enlightenment.

He took a deep breath and jumped out of the deep pit. He looked around and found that all the buildings looked very different now.

Those buildings and flowers all disintegrated when his gaze fell on them. They turned into various-colored lines that intersected with each other.

This entire world seemed to have undergone a great change.

“No wonder people like Bei Lou could easily travel within the 99 realms inside the bottle… Presumably, if Situ Nan wanted, he could do it as well… Even Master Hollow Wind could break one realm in the bottle world.

“If I went back into the bottle world, even though I’m not confident in moving through all 99 realms, I would certainly be able to break several realms at a time…”

Those Nirvana Cleanser old monsters could see laws. They also could control law, so they could naturally move through the realms.

“I wanted to take the line, but I was rebounded by a powerful force because I hadn’t reached the Nirvana Cleanser stage yet… I haven’t mastered controlling law.” Wang Lin looked at his surroundings and enlightenment filled his eyes.

Even those invisible restrictions clearly appeared before Wang Lin. When Wang Lin saw this, he had a thought, and the heaven defying bead began to move on its own. A fist-sized vortex formed between Wang Lin’s eyebrows.

The heaven defying bead slowly came out of the vortex and floated before Wang Lin. There were twisted ripples around the heaven defying bead; it was as if it didn’t belong here and was being rejected.

At this instant, Wang Lin’s mind combined with the heaven defying bead. He felt a thunderous rumble in his head and his vision blurred. It was as if a powerful force had taken his mind and broken through all the obstacles in the cave to go up directly into the sky.

At this moment, a ray of light shot out from center of the Demon Spirit Land and went off into the horizon.

Wang Lin saw the sky. The blue sky instantly turned into long, blue lines that intersected with each other.

He saw white clouds, the earth, the plants on the ground, and the countless residences of the Demon Spirit Land. He also saw the rivers and the mountains.

With the mysterious power of the heaven defying bead, Wang Lin’s mind spread out across the world and saw all the laws of the world.

Everything before him was law, and those colorful lines were a way of seeing laws.

As he continued to look, Wang Lin seemed to turn into a breeze, and he swept through the Demon Spirit Land. Then he charged directly toward the sky while being surrounded by the mysterious power of the heaven defying bead.

Another thunderous rumble echoed inside his mind as he pierced through the Demon Spirit Land with the help of the heaven defying bead. It was something countless cultivators, even people like the All-Seer, couldn’t open by force.

It was as if nothing could obstruct his mind and the heaven defying bead, and nothing dared to obstruct them!

Wang Lin saw dark space before him!

Countless specks of dust filled space, as well as the dazzling nebula. Wang Lin was immersed in this enlightened state as he looked among the stars and felt the laws within this universe.

Those dazzling planets in the distance, the flying meteorites, and pieces of dust all appeared in Wang Lin’s eyes.

Law… Everything in this world contained law!

After his mind was merged with the stars, Wang Lin continued to be enlightened. As this continued, his mind grew and continued to spread. The speed at which his mind spread was not something divine sense could compare to.

It was just like when Wang Lin stood before the gate in the heaven defying bead, where he took that half step and seemed to become one with the void. This time, Wang Lin wandered among the stars and experienced the feeling of seeking dao once more.

However, this time he was seeking law.

As his mind spread endlessly, it swept by planets one by one. His heart was calm, and as he was completely immersed within this, he was ignorant of his current state.

Every planet he swept by, every single lifeform, including mortals, cultivators, animals, and even plants, were clearly seen by Wang Lin.

The countless laws of the world turned into lines and were observed by Wang Lin as his mind passed.

None of the cultivators on those planets noticed Wang Lin’s mind passing by, not even the cultivators at the Nirvana Scryer and Nirvana Cleanser stages…

After all, Wang Lin was being protected by the heaven defying bead. If he didn’t want people to know about his existence, then no one would, not even Nirvana Shatterer cultivators!

As his mind spread with the Demon Spirit Land as the center, it was as if time seemed to last forever. It was unknown how much time had passed, but Wang Lin’s mind had covered a good portion of the Alliance.

He didn’t stop there. While gaining enlightenment, he spread his mind even more with the power of the heaven defying bead. He spread it farther, wider, and deeper…

He saw too many cultivators and countless fierce beasts he had never seen; he even spotted some people he knew in the past.

These people didn’t make Wang Lin stop. The current him was immersed in a strange state where he was comprehending the laws like crazy. As his mind grew like crazy, his cultivation level was also reaching a peak.

Reaching the peak of the late stage of Nirvana Scryer wasn’t hard for most late stage Nirvana Scryer cultivators. As long as they saw enough laws, they would naturally reach the peak of the late stage.

However, this was a long process because only after experiencing far too much and seeing everything could one succeed. No one could be like Wang Lin, where his mind could spread across a majority of the Alliance Star System with the help of the heaven defying bead to see all the different laws.

Wang Lin’s mind continued to spread, and he saw a sea of flames closing in. There was a giant Vermillion Bird emitting extreme heat at the front of the sea of flames.

Large amounts of cracks appeared in the space where the Vermillion Bird passed. It looked as if they could collapse from a simple touch. All the meteorites that closed in on the Vermillion Bird would be burned to dust.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the Vermillion Bird avoided cultivation planets, then far too many planets would have collapsed along the way.

Rays of flames followed the Vermillion Bird. There were cultivators in red inside each ray of flame. There were men and women among them, along with six elders that emitted a terrifying aura in the front.

From a distance, it looked like there were no less than 1,000 cultivators behind the Vermillion Bird, and none of their cultivation levels were low!

These people moved quickly behind the Vermillion Bird!

The Vermillion Bird made Wang Lin feel familiar. The moment his mind passed by, the Vermillion Bird’s fiery eyes lit up and its body trembled. A mighty cry of the Vermillion Bird immediately echoed!

After Wang Lin’s mind passed, confusion filled the giant Vermillion Bird.

The Vermillion Bird wasn’t the only one confused. The cultivators behind it were confused as well, especially the six elders. They all looked at each other with surprise.

They didn’t know why the Vermillion Bird Spirit would release a cry. No matter how much they pondered, they couldn’t think of an answer.

Wang Lin’s mind continued to spread. At the center of the Alliance, there was a starfield filled with dark purple meteorites. Within the depths of his starfield lied another world.

An extremely large, circular building floated among the stars, and it was surrounded by no less than 100 smaller buildings. Bursts of black lightning constantly flashed, giving off a strange pressure.

This was the entrance to the Cultivation Alliance. Only by going through here could one reach the headquarters of the Cultivation Alliance.

Wang Lin’s mind arrived at this strange place. His mind even penetrated the entrance and arrived at the Alliance’s headquarters.

The Alliance’s headquarters was in its own separate realm. It used to belong to the Rain Celestial Realm, but it was later found and occupied by the Cultivation Alliance.

173 giant cultivation planets formed the headquarter of the Cultivation Alliance. 172 planets were arranged in a circle, and they weren’t static, they were slowly moving.

From a distance, the Alliance headquarters looked like a miniature Alliance Star System.

Countless cultivators moved around, but strangely, there were no sound.

At the center of this ring of planets was a giant vortex. This vortex was purple and would cause anyone who looked at it to tremble. Very few people knew exactly what was inside the vortex…

Above the vortex was the last of the 173 planets. It didn’t move, but floated above the vortex and absorbed the purple gas released by the vortex.

This vortex was simply too big; a cultivator would be like an ant compared to it. In fact, the cultivator would be smaller than an ant and be impossible to see. Even the last cultivation planet seemed truly insignificant compared to the vortex.

Chapter 1040 – Liu Mei (2)

Inside a secret room within the planet above the vortex sat a middle-aged man. He was extremely handsome and had the aura of a celestial.

Aside from a fist-sized bronze bell, there was nothing else inside this secret room.

Wang Lin’s mind swept by the secret room. The man inside remained unmoved, as if he didn’t notice anything, but the bell immediately let out a crisp sound.

The man suddenly opened his eyes and two crazed gazes appeared.

By the time this happened, Wang Lin’s mind had already left.

In the northern region of the Alliance Star System, tens of thousands of Allheaven cultivators were fighting against the Alliance. Master Flamespark and company were among them.

The Alliance also had some powerful cultivators. The two sides had just begun their battle, but the casualties were already countless.

Wang Lin’s mind swept by. He saw everything, but he didn’t stop for even a moment and continued to move.

No one knew of his arrival and no one detected his exit. Wang Lin’s mind silently left this endless bloodshed and slaughter.

None of these things were able to make him stop. He continued his comprehension, and his cultivation approached the peak. He was finishing something that took others countless years to complete.

His mind continued to spread until it reached an extremely secretive region in the Alliance. There was a yellow planet here that was filled with death and had no traces of life. Even spiritual energy was extremely rare here.

There was not a single cultivator within millions of kilometers of this planet; it was as if this was a forbidden zone.

Even when Wang Lin’s mind arrived, there seemed to be some interference.

When his mind swept past the yellow planet, his mind immediately entered the inner part of the planet, and there was something else inside.

There was a transfer array inside the this planet. This array was huge, and on the other side of the transfer array was the only rank 9 cultivation country of the Alliance!

Brilliant Void Realm!

It was the only rank 9 country in the Alliance, and it was very mysterious. The entire Brilliant Void Realm was not a cultivation planet but a huge continent that was like a world of its own.

This was the holy land of a majority of the cultivators here!

Wang Lin’s mind entered the Brilliant Void Realm that very few cultivators were qualified to enter. Deep within the Brilliant Void Realm sat an old man. He was cultivating next to a slope when he suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

“Which Fellow Cultivator has come to my Brilliant Void Realm? Please show yourself!”

The old man was the first person who had noticed Wang Lin’s presence. Although his voice was calm, it was filled with endless power of law. It was as if the law around this old man would change as he pleased.

However, this person’s words weren’t able to awaken Wang Lin from his strange state. Wang Lin’s mind swept past the Brilliant Void Realm, but before he could see it all, his mind was startled!

He saw two women!

One of the women was sitting at the top of a mountain. She was not an absolute beauty, but she was still beautiful. She wore a blue dress, and it flowed in the wind as the mountain wind blew. She gave off the sense of a celestial beauty.

However, there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes as she looked ahead with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes. Beside her was a large tiger. This tiger was completely black and gave off a fierce aura. He raised his head and looked ahead along with the woman.

However, this tiger’s gaze often shifted toward the dense jungle below the mountain. The figures of a few female tigers caught his attention. His eyes were filled with excitement, as if he wished he could immediately jump down into the jungle below.

“When can I leave here…” the woman bitterly muttered as she raised her head as if she was talking to the tiger.

“When your cultivation level is high enough, I’ll let you leave.” A cold voice came from behind the woman. After hearing this voice, the woman immediately stood up. Even the tiger trembled and quickly withdrew his gaze from the female tigers in the jungle below.

Along with the voice came a woman. She was wearing an elegant, blue dress, and her appearance was impossible to describe. It was as if all the stars would be bleak when compared to her.

Her beauty stirred one’s heart. Everyone, even powerful cultivators, would be shocked by her beauty! If she was called the number one beauty in the Alliance, no one would object.

However, the aura below the beauty was so cold that it made it impossible to get close to her, as if she was an iceberg. Perhaps there was nothing in this world that could melt her coldness.

There was a very noble aura coming from within this coldness. It was a sense of pride, as if she was always the focus of attention and had the highest status.

The pretty woman quickly said, “Zhou Ru greets Master.”

The incomparably beautiful woman in the elegant, blue dress that could compete with the sun and moon still had a cold expression that never changed as she looked at Zhou Ru, and she was about to speak.

However, just at this moment, Wang Lin’s mind arrived and he saw these two women. His mind, which never stopped, even after everything he had experienced so far, came to a crashing halt.

This halt caused a powerful shock to erupt from Wang Lin’s mind, causing him to awaken from that mysterious state.

It was all of this was because of these two women!

Perhaps other may not recognize that beautiful woman, but the moment Wang Lin saw her, an indescribable sense of bitterness filled his heart.

How could he not recognize her….

Wang Ping was still inside the heaven defying bead. How could Wang Lin forget that vicious and heinous woman? He wanted to forget, but there were some pains in life he simply couldn’t forget!

Seeing this woman and Zhou Ru caused Wang Lin to awaken from his special state. The moment he awakened, the expression of the cold and beautiful woman changed tremendously.

Her coldness instantly collapsed and she suddenly raised her head to look at the sky. She felt like she had spotted the phantom of a person she had engraved deep within her memories.

“Liu Mei…” At that instant, it was as if a vague voice had appeared from the void and entered the ears of this beautiful woman. This caused her body to tremble, and she subconsciously retreated a few steps.

The moment Wang Lin awakened, his mind was pulled back by the heaven defying bead at a speed countless times faster than before. In the blink of an eye, he was pulled out of the Brilliant Void Realm.

It was a circle that was rapidly contracting. In an instant, he swept by every place he had been to.

The old man in the Brilliant Void Realm that noticed Wang Lin stared at the sky and began to ponder.

The fighting in the northern region was still intense. The moment Wang Lin’s mind contracted, the expressions of Master Flamespark and company changed greatly.

“Wang Lin!!” Master Flamespark revealed a look of disbelief. It was very rare to see from Master Flamespark. Not only him, but everyone who knew Wang Lin was terrified by this!

Cultivation Alliance headquarters, the floating planet above the vortex. Inside the secret room, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with shock!

“Who is he!?”

There was also the Vermillion Bird inside the sea of flames. It let out another Vermillion Bird Cry and moved even faster.

Among the stars, there was a thin figure wearing green. This person had an indifferent expression. He was walking through the stars, and his target was the Cultivation Alliance’s headquarters.

Behind him were countless bloody skulls, and the small of blood filled the area. As he walked, his eyes lit up and he looked into the distance. His expression softened and he revealed a smile of admiration.

“Wang Lin… That child’s cultivation has broken through. This aura should be the heaven defying bead… He was able to use the heaven defying bead to comprend law. With this, I can relax and take this trip to Alliance’s headquarters with no regrets. I will go to the Cultivation Alliance’s headquarters and find the secret behind the collapse of the Celestial Realm. Then I’ll find the true cause of my madness!”

Wang Lin’s mind contracted like crazy. It only took a moments for it all to return. It was as if everything that had happened had reversed. He returned back to the Demon Spirit Land, to the Celestial Emperor Cave, and back into his body.

Wang Lin’s body trembled as if his soul had returned. What appeared before him was the floating heaven defying bead. The heaven defying bead slowly floated toward Wang Lin and disappeared between his eyebrows.

While pondering, Wang Lin slowly closed his eyes and a peak Nirvana Scryer aura erupted from his body. Along the way, Wang Lin had seen many laws, so he had reached the peak of the Nirvana Scryer stage!

After a long time, Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes. He looked up at the sky with a complex and cold gaze. With the help of the heaven defying bead, he had seen too much. However, the figure of that woman he saw at the end disrupted his calm heart.

“The Liu Mei from back then must have been her avatar.”

Chapter 1041 – Inside the Deep Pit

“And also Zhou Ru… She unexpectedly became Liu Mei’s disciple. There must be some secret behind this. Liu Mei’s is far too cunning…”

After pondering for a long time, Wang Lin suppressed the complex feelings he had from seeing Liu Mei. He withdrew his gaze from the sky and felt the powerful origin energy throughout his body.

“Peak of Nirvana Scryer!” Wang Lin’s eyes shined brightly. It was useless to think about other things. He was still inside the Celestial Emperor Cave, so he need to solve the immediate problem first.

“Everything in this world contains law. The sky, the earth, the five elements, everything contains its own law. If one wants to understand them all, it would take far too much time. The power of a person is limited, so it would be impossible to grasp everything.” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he pondered.

“So the Nirvana Cleanser and even those old Nirvana Shatterer monsters often have a law they are most proficient in. For example, Master Flamespark is most proficient in the law of fire…”

While Wang Lin pondered, thunder shot out from his right eye. The thunder rumbled out from Wang Lin’s right eye and formed a bright ball of thunder.

There was a vague phantom inside the ball of thunder. It looked exactly like Wang Lin’s ancient thunder dragon origin soul. It seemed like a phantom of it had appeared inside the ball of thunder.

Wang Lin stared at the ball of thunder until the way he saw it vaguely changed. However, it didn’t turn into lines like everything else. Although it became more transparent, no laws appeared within it.

“I only obtained half of the ancient thunder dragon and half of it disappeared into the Tide Abyss. As a result, the power of thunder is incomplete and even the law within is imperfect.”

After pondering for a while, Wang Lin squeezed the air and the ball of thunder scattered into countless bolts of thunder. At this moment, flames came out of Wang Lin’s left eye, forming a sea of flames.

There was the phantom of a Vermillion Bird within the sea of flames.

Wang Lin looked closely and then the Vermillion Bird turned transparent. The endless sea of flames turned into red lines that Wang Lin could see clearly.

“According to my understanding of cultivation, to reach the Nirvana Cleanser stage, I must completely master one of these laws. Then I can use this law to absorb origin energy from the world and make it so the origin energy in my body never runs out.

“The strength of Nirvana Cleanser cultivators is greatly related to the law they choose.”

Wang Lin waved his hand and scattered the sea of flames, then his eyes returned to normal.

“The laws I’m the most familiar with are thunder and fire. However, I just obtained fire and am not yet familiar enough with it. I need to comprehend it more before I can use it to break through to the Nirvana Cleanser stage.

“However, breaking through like this will cause me to lose the power of thunder. If I have to give that up to reach the Nirvana Cleanser stage, there will be regrets. If I can fuse fire and thunder and use that to reach Nirvana Cleanser stage, that power should be really strong.”

Wang Lin moved while pondering and stepped into the deep pit. He directly went into the cave and arrived next to his original body.

The woman in silver was still guarding on the side. When she saw Wang Lin’s avatar, her expression didn’t change. Wang Lin ignored her and fused with his original body.

A moment later, Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes, and the killing aura withdrew as he returned to his normal self. His eyes lit up and he stood up.

“The Vermillion Bird I saw when I borrowed the heaven defying bead’s power was exactly the same as my tattoo. I believe there is a connection…” Wang Lin walked out of the fractured cave. The woman in silver silently followed, and her gaze fell on Wang Lin’s back. There was a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Just as he walked out from the cave, Wang Lin immediately retreated a step and exclaimed.

A ray of ghostly light came from the deep pit. It moved in a line and headed straight for Wang Lin. The moment Wang Lin retreated, it arrived near him.

It had slightly messy black feathers, but its eyes were still filled with intelligence. It was the Star-Marked Sable!

The sable looked very adorable. When it got close, it hung onto Wang Lin’s clothes with its mouth and swung around like a swing. It also released crisp cries as it did so.

After swinging around a few times, the Star-Marked Sable borrowed the swinging force to land on Wang Lin’s shoulder. It wiped its face with its claws a few times before moving closer to Wang Lin’s neck and sniffing constantly.

The Star-Marked Sable liked the aura of an ancient god the most. During the time when ancient gods were still around, the Star-Marked Sable was one of the few spirit beasts the ancient gods really liked. Wang Lin had memories of this from his inheritance.

The ancient gods’ aura was very beneficial to the Star-Marked Sable. If they stayed around an ancient god long enough, then it would greatly reduce their growth period. It would also cause the Star-Marked Sable to undergo metamorphosis.

Even during ancient times, a Star-Marked Sables was a powerful ally for an ancient god once it went through metamorphosis. However, it was very difficult for a Star-Marked Sable to undergo metamorphosis. It would require them to absorb the aura of an ancient god for a very long time.

Remembering what the Star-Marked Sable looked like after it had gone through metamorphosis from Ti Su’s memories made Wang Lin reveal a strange expression. After looking at the Star-Marked Sable on his shoulder, that strange expression became even stronger.

“In Tu Si’s memories, every ancient god with a Star-Marked Sable that had undergone metamorphosis cherished them greatly. They treated the sable like a treasure and wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt it. They would become furious if an outsider even touched the sable.”

As the sable sniffed Wang Lin’s aura, its intelligence eyes were filled with excitement. It decided to simply lie on Wang Lin’s shoulder.

Wang Lin raised his hand and grabbed the small sable from his shoulder. The small sable seemed very dissatisfied, and his claw grabbed hold of Wang Lin’s cloth. It roared at Wang Lin as if it was brooding from having to leave Wang Lin’s shoulder.

Wang Lin held the Star-Marked Sable before his face and took a closer look. He had seen this sable hundreds of years ago when he first arrived on planet Tian Yun, and he had taken a liking to it back then. He never would’ve thought the sable would come to him hundreds of years later.

This sable was very exquisite, and its intelligent eyes looked at Wang Lin while Wang Lin looked at it. After a long time, the sable grew impatient. Wang Lin revealed a smile and let go of his hand. The small sable immediately returned to Wang Lin’s shoulder. It sniffed around and looked very comfortable.

No longer paying any more attention to the small sable, Wang Lin was about to leave here. He was going to explore the Celestial Emperor Cave using the map in the jade.

However, just as he stepped out, the Star-Marked Sable immediately looked down into the deep pit. Its eyes lit up, then it flew out and roared a few times at Wang in before it flew down into the pit.

Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he looked down at the deep pit. After pondering a bit, he descended along with the Star-Marked Sable.

“Star-Marked Sables like the aura of ancient gods the most. Could it be that there is something that belonged to an ancient god down buried under the Celestial Burial Pool?” Wang Lin immediately thought of the red tendon that trapped the Tattoo Clan Holy Ancestor.

This pit seemed bottomless. No matter how much Wang Lin descended, it seemed like he was no closer to the end. The cold energy coming from the bottom became even more intense until a layer of frost appeared on the walls of the pit.

It was as if there was an endless abyss down there. Although Wang Lin looked calm, he was extremely cautious. The Star-Marked Sable was obviously very familiar with this place and had long disappeared.

The deeper he went, the colder it became. Every time he exhaled, it looked like gas dragons were rushing out of his nose. The surrounding walls were covered in ice. Sharp icicles were sticking out from the side of the wall in a ring formation.

Wang Lin controlled his descending speed. After an unknown amount of time, the Star-Marked Sable flew out like a ray of ghostly light and landed on the ice. It jumped off it and landed on Wang Lin’s shoulder.

Slivers of cold energy came from the Star-Marked Sable, but none of this caught Wang Lin’s attention. Right now his eyes were locked on the thing below.

When the Star-Marked Sable closed in, Wang Lin vaguely felt a gaze that pierced through all obstacles and landed on him.

Wang Lin stared at the bottom and remained motionless. After a long time, his origin energy began to move and two balls of flames appeared in his eyes. The flames came out of his eyes and turned into a sea of flames, spreading downwards.

Borrowing the light from the sea of flames, even the darkness that his divine sense couldn’t penetrate scattered a bit. Wang Lin descended downwards. That gaze made a big doubt appear in his heart, and he vaguely had some speculations.

As he descended, there was more and more ice around. After seven minutes, Wang Lin was at the bottom of the pit. At this point, he could clearly see everything below him, and it was a world of ice. Large ice blocks surrounded the area, making this palce look extremely dangerous.

There was a lifelike corpse inside each ice block. Their bodies were frozen right before they died. This quiet, deep pit where no one could reach caused a chill to arise in Wang Lin’s heart.

The people inside the ice weren’t enough to shock Wang Lin. What really shocked him was the existence deeper down. It was sealed by all the surrounding ice, leaving only some small gaps.

This was the source of that gaze!

Wang Lin clearly saw what was below through the gaps in the glacier. At this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Below the gaps between the glaciers, down in the depths of the pit, there was something thousands of feet tall!

This giant thing was a skull! The skull of an ancient god! The skull was frozen, but its expression was clear. The eyes, which weren’t closed, were filled with regret and anger.

The gaze Wang Lin felt earlier came from this skull.

Although countless years had passed and the ancient god was already dead and without a trace of any ancient god power left, his gaze before he died was still so lifelike that it would startle anyone who saw it! Only traces of eight broken stars remained.

Chapter 1042 – Iron Sword

Looking at the ancient god head filled with regret and anger, Wang Lin silently pondered. After experiencing so much, Wang Lin understood that the ancient gods weren’t an eternal existences among the stars. However, they were the strongest clan!

The ancient god clan from back then was almost extinct. Wang Lin didn’t believe that it was due to cultivators. Even the powerful Thunder Celestial Realm had to use so much power to fight a weak 8-star ancient god. Only with countless celestials attacking did they manage to win with heavy losses.

What kind of power could still cut off the head of this ancient god after he had shattered all eight stars?

Although shattering eight stars at once wasn’t enough to reach the power of a 9-star ancient god, it was still enough to destroy the heavens and earth.

While pondering, Wang Lin slowly descended and arrived next to a block of ice that was blocking the way. Origin energy surged out from his arm and into the ice.

In an instant, fire appeared on the edge of the ice and even inside it. In an instant, the ice turned into white mist and floated up into the sky.

The celestial corpses were immediately turned to dust by the flames and scattered.

After opening a passage, Wang Lin closed in on the giant ancient god head. While he examined the head up close, the pressure of facing a real 8-star ancient god suddenly pressed down.

After letting out a sigh, Wang Lin slowly descended down the ancient god head to where it was cut off. The ancient god head was wrapped in a thick layer of ice. The cut on the neck was extremely clean and smooth.

Staring at the neck of the ancient god, while his expression remained calm, his pupils shrank and shock filled his heart.

From the looks of this wound, this ancient god had his head cut off in an instant. There was no pause and it was an extremely clean cut!

The meaning of this wound made Wang Lin’s scalp tingle. He couldn’t imagine who had the power to cut off an ancient god’s head clean off with one spell!

“Could it have been Qing Lin?” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. He was aghast at the situation. If Qing Lin had this kind of power, he was far too strong and already surpassed Wang Lin’s imagination.

Wang Lin’s expression became gloomy as his divine sense carefully spread out around the head. After a scan, he found nothing abnormal and began to carefully examine the wound. After a long time, Wang Lin exclaimed. He moved closer to the ice, and his eyes were like lightning as he stared at the wound.

Deep within the edge of the wound, there were some dark red crystal particles. If one didn’t look carefully, it was easy to confuse it with clogged blood.

“This is…” Wang Lin silently pondered as he raised his hand and placed it on the ice. He carefully spread out his origin energy and filled his right hand with it. Large amounts of white mist appeared under his right hand. He carefully controlled his origin energy to melt a hole in the ice.

This gap was like a tunnel that extended to the wound on the ancient god’s neck. Wang Lin then created a suction force to pull one of the crystal particles into his hand.

His fingers held the dark red crystal particles and his divine sense slowly scanned it. As he carefully observed, Wang Lin was gradually able to see an invisible energy inside. This energy seemed to be slowly moving within the crystal and could dissipate at any time.

Wang Lin’s divine sense surrounded the invisible energy, and after pondering a bit, his divine sense moved toward the invisible energy to investigate.

However, just as his divine sense entered, he suddenly felt an indescribable pressure coming from the invisible energy. It was as if Wang Lin had left this world. The entire universe was dark, and only the pressure from this invisible energy existed.

This aura was so strong that just a small sliver had made Wang Lin gasp and almost subconsciously retreat. However, he forced himself to hold on and began to carefully observe it.

The more he observed, the more he frowned. Even after over 1,000 years of cultivation, he had never encountered such a strange invisible energy.

This wasn’t celestial spiritual energy or spiritual energy. It didn’t even have the slightest connection to origin energy.

However, when he carefully observed it, he could see that it contained celestial spiritual energy, spiritual energy, and origin energy, along with another energy he wasn’t able to understand.

It was a pile of things thrown together, yet they were perfectly combined, which caused Wang Lin a lot of confusion.

What terrified Wang Lin even more was that even within this small trace of energy, there was law. It was this law that made Wang Lin’s scalp tingle.

There wasn’t just one law, but countless laws! Almost all the countless laws Wang Lin had seen with the help of the heaven defying bead was inside. There were many laws Wang Lin hadn’t seen within it as well.

Wang Lin carefully withdrew his divine sense. His face was somewhat pale as he stared at the crystal. At this moment, he felt like he wasn’t holding an insignificant crystal particle but a powerful bomb.

It was this power that cut the head of the ancient god, and it was not Qing Lin who possessed this power! Wang Lin stared at the crystal in his hand and thought back to planet Suzaku, when he fought against the heavens to save Li Muwan.

The messenger of the heavens was unexpectedly an ancient god, an ancient god with his stars sealed. At that time, although Wang Lin was shocked, his cultivation level was too low to comprehend it. Thinking about it now, it wasn’t just shocking, there was a heaven-shattering secret behind this!

What kind of power could seal an ancient god and control him to become a messenger of the heavens? The answer came out almost immediately!

“Heavens’ dao!” Wang Lin stared at the crystal in his hand. The moment he felt this invisible energy, his intuition told him that it was related to the seal on the ancient god who was the messenger of the heavens.

However, the heavens’ dao was an ethereal thing, so how could it do all of this? Wang Lin silently pondered and recalled what Ancient Demon Bei Lou had said about the Ancient Order’s secret and how they defied the heavens.

Closing his eyes, an image seemed to appear within Wang Lin’s mind. An 8-star ancient god was rampaging across the endless stars, but at this moment, an indescribable force descended from the heavens. In order to resist, the 8-star ancient god shattered all his stars, but his head was still cut off!

Then the head was obtained by the Celestial Realm and placed here for an unknown reason. The force that cut the head off this ancient god didn’t dissipate with time. Instead, it became these crystals.

Wang Lin didn’t know if any of this was true or false; he merely speculated from what he knew. He opened his eyes. After pondering a bit, he carefully put the crystal into his bag.

There were still some crystals in the neck inside the ice. Wang Lin carefully pulled the crystals out and put them inside his bag.

He was very careful during this entire process and pulled them one by one. Including the previous one, there was a total of 23.

After doing all of this, Wang Lin stared at the wound at the ancient god’s neck. There were no more crystals remaining. After pondering a bit, Wang Lin was about to leave, but his eyes suddenly narrowed and he stared into the wound on the neck. For a moment, he felt liek there was a red flash.

His divine sense spread out but found nothing.

After pondering a bit, origin energy filled Wang Lin’s right hand and the fire origin energy reached the ice. There were some cracking sounds as his origin energy tunnelled through the ice and spread toward it.

As the tunnel extended forward, Wang Lin stared forward without blinking. Soon, the tunnel extended deep into the ice block.

At this instant, Wang Lin saw the thing that caused the red flash!

It was an iron sword that was covered by countless red lines. These red lines were moving and entangled around the sword.

This iron sword looked very ordinary; there was nothing abnormal about it. However, when Wang Lin saw the iron sword, he immediately felt like it was very familiar, as if he had seen something like it before.

Before he could remember where he had seen this iron sword, he immediately felt a terrifying danger from the red lines around the iron sword.

Wang Lin’s expression changed. When his divine sense swept by with the ice in the way, he couldn’t see the iron sword or the red lines. However, now that the ice had melted, they appeared clearly before his eyes.

Due to caution, Wang Lin’s divine sense slowly spread out and again he couldn’t detect the iron sword or red lines. It was the same as before, and there was no abnormality with the head. However, he could clearly see the iron sword and red lines with his eyes, which made Wang Lin extremely vigilant.

Wang Lin calmly retreated. The iron sword and the red lines around it were too strange. It was best not to mess with them.

While he retreated, his eyes were still on the iron sword. There were some rust on the iron sword, as if it was a mortal object.

“Very familiar…” Wang Lin suddenly stopped and felt as if a bolt of thunder had exploded in his mind. His eyes suddenly widened as he stared at the iron sword and sucked in a breath of cold air. He remembered!

Back on planet Suzaku, inside the Suzaku Tomb, he saw the same iron sword, only the rust markings on it were different! That iron sword was taken by Tuo Sen’s messenger. The ecstasy on the messenger’s face was something Wang Lin clearly remembered even now!

Chapter 1043 – Obtaining the Sword Through Danger

The moment Wang Lin recognized the iron sword, he stopped moving and revealed a hint of hesitation.

After cultivating to this point, Wang Lin knew that his memory inheritance was incomplete and was missing an extremely important part. It was likely that the information about this iron sword was recorded there. That memory was in Tuo Sen’s hands, so perhaps he knew the origin of the iron sword.

However, an iron sword that would even make Tuo Sen reveal ecstasy couldn’t be simple!

Although it wasn’t the same iron sword as before, it looked exactly the same.

“Should I take it?” Wang Lin hesitated as he moved his gaze from the iron sword to the red lines. A terrifying aura came from the red lines, giving Wang Lin a constant sense of crisis.

Wang Lin didn’t know what the red lines were, but he could clearly feel their terrifying power. If he were to leave now, he would not arouse the attention of the red lines and would move on safely.

However, if he were to take the iron sword from them, then it was likely the red lines would attack him.

Given Wang Lin’s personality, he would naturally not risk it against the unknown. However, the iron sword before him tempted him greatly.

After struggling for a moment, Wang Lin revealed a decisive gaze. Wealth was obtained in danger. If he were to leave now, although he’d be safe, he would miss out on this iron sword.

Moreover, this was the Celestial Emperor Cave. If he didn’t take it now, it might be very difficult to return here later. Wang Lin was unwilling to leave empty-handed after encountering a treasure.

After making a decision, Wang Lin looked up the pit. From here, he could see that the top was sealed by ice glaciers that were densely packed together, leaving only few small, twisted paths for people to pass through.

After calculating the distance, he descended and thought for a moment. Then he suddenly jerked his head and stared at the iron sword deep inside the ice.

He clenched his teeth, his hands formed a seal, and flames appeared in his eyes. At this moment, his full peak Nirvana Scryer cultivation exploded. The five stars between his eyebrows appeared and rotated rapidly and popping sounds came from his body.

The ancient god power entered his limbs and he mercilessly clenched his fist. Feeling as if he controlled the heavens, Wang Lin no longer hesitated. His right arm extended out.

At this instant, the flames in his eyes shot out and his origin energy gathered in his right hand. As he reached out, a monstrous sea of flames appeared before his right hand!

The right hand formed a seal and the sea of flames shot toward the head. The flames covered the head, and the ice immediately began to melt on a massive scale. Flames immediately entered the tunnel in the ice near the wound made by Wang Lin earlier.

The flames instantly arrived near the iron sword.

The red lines immediately shook and stretched straight. Large amounts of branches extended from the red lines, and they sprayed a large amount of red mist at the flames.

There was a heaven-shaking bang as the sea of flames was extinguished by the red mist and pushed back. Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he didn’t hesitate to spit out a mouthful of essence origin energy.

After the essence origin energy appeared, it was like pouring oil into fire. Large amounts of cracks appeared in the ice and then the ice suddenly collapsed!

Countless burning ice shards scattered in all directions and collided with the ice blocks nearby. Now that the ice was gone, the ancient god head appeared clearly before Wang Lin.

It had been in the ice for so long that the moment the ice was gone, the ancient god head began to rot.

At the same time, the smell of rotting flesh filled the area. The ancient god head rapidly decayed and soon became a giant skull!

This skull was completely black and there was an impressive red mist inside the skull that was constantly swaying. The red lines’ origin was inside this red mist, and some of the lines were still wrapped around the iron sword.

The moment the ice collapsed, Wang Lin turned into a shadow and rushed in. He directly grabbed the iron sword.

The moment he grabbed the iron sword, the origin energy inside his body surged out without hesitation. The origin energy immediately turned into a sea of flames around him. The flames also went into the iron sword and immediately surrounded the red lines that were wrapped around the iron sword.

At the same time, Wang Lin’s left hand formed a fist and his ancient god power filled his left hand. He immediately threw a punch. As he punched, the ancient god phantom appeared behind him and also threw a punch.

A few of the red lines around the iron sword immediately shattered when they were hit by the ancient god punch and the sea of flames. The other lines also retracted a bit.

With a roar from Wang Lin, he pulled his right hand back and the iron sword escaped the entanglement of the red lines. Wang Lin truly held the sword in his hand now.

There was a flash of light before it disappeared as Wang Lin placed it inside his bag. Wang Lin did all of this without hesitation. Then he kicked off and flew up toward the exit above.

Wang Lin’s ancient god punch and sea of flames landed on the red mist. The red mist suddenly expanded to collide with the sea of flames, then a thunderous rumble began to echo.

The red mist completely disappeared, revealing a phantom inside. It was impossible to see if this phantom was male or female, and it was surrounded by countless red lines. The phantom slowly opened its eyes and coldly looked at the escaping Wang Lin before letting out an intimidating roar.

As it roared, countless cracks appeared on the surrounding ice blocks. At this moment, all of the ice crumbled, and the corpses inside them seemed to become alive. They were each surrounded by a red glow.

Pairs of red gazes appeared in this deep pit and locked onto Wang Lin, who was charging out of the pit.

Roar!

A roar like that of a fierce beast echoed within the pit. It was similar to the roar from the phantom. The roar echoed and formed a storm that swept upwards.

Deep within the pit, the roar echoed violently. All of the celestial corpses that awakened charged at Wang Lin, who was below them.

At this moment, Wang Lin was floating in the air, and the strange phantom below him charged at him. The red lines were all swaying; just looked at them would give you a sense of strangeness.

This strange phantom was half transparent and it had no internal organs; there was just a red vortex inside its body.

It was so fast that it closed in on Wang Lin in a flash.

At this moment, there were countless corpses with red eyes above, and that strange phantom below. Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he charged up without hesitation.

The corpses weren’t nimble. Although they were ferocious, they were not smart. Their cultivation levels were also limited, only around the Yin and Yang stage.

Wang Lin’s could see red lines flicker between their eyebrows with his peak Nirvana Scryer cultivation.

This moment of crisis made it so Wang Lin couldn’t think too much. Flying at full speed, he moved like a shadow and instantly crossed path with a few of the corpses coming at him.

When they passed by, Wang Lin’s right hand formed a sword and quickly pointed between the eyebrows of these corpses.

Rumbling sounds echoed as the corpse caught on fire and became like fireballs. The red lines between their eyebrows slowly disappeared.

Wang Lin continued to move forward without pausing. His peak Nirvana Scryer cultivation worked at its peak and flames surrounded his body. Whenever he encountered a corpse, he would point at them.

As the sea of flames rushed forward, the corpses were turned into burning corpses. They all shattered and the red lines inside them were destroyed.

As the phantom chased, its eyes became even colder, and it continued to roar. The lines from its body unexpectedly turned into swords that shot at Wang Lin at an even faster speed.

Along the way, Wang Lin moved like water. After destroying dozens of corpses, there were still countless corpses above him. Below, the phantom was chasing like crazy, and those swords were closing in. Even Wang Lin felt his scalp tingle at all of this. As the swords closed in, Wang Lin’s right eye flash blue and the azure light shield appeared to block the swords.

Popping sounds echoed like thunderous roars. The azure light shield was pushed back toward Wang Lin. Seeing the phantom closing in, Wang Lin’s eyes revealed a trace of madness, and his right hand formed a seal and he shouted, “Call the Wind!”

Black wind suddenly appeared from his right hand. This black wind wasn’t as cold as before, but it contained a powerful heat. The black wind turned into five dragons, and up charged upwards with a roar.

These five black dragons were all covered in burning flames as if they became purple. As they charged upwards, thunderous rumbles echoed within the pit.

This place was immediately filled with unimaginable heat, but this heat had no effect on Wang Lin. His eyes seemed to contain fire as he charged out.

As the heat charged up, the five black flame dragon broke through with ease. All of the corpses were torn apart and devoured by them. All of the glaciers melted and waves of white gas floated upwards.

Those corpse that jumped down attempting to stop Wang Lin collapsed under the attack of the five black flaming dragons. The five dragons charged up like crazy, and Wang Lin’s speed reached its limit inside the flames.

Wang Lin used his peak Nirvana Scryer cultivation and his ancient god body without holding back. The Star-Marked Sable on his shoulder was clinging to his clothes with its cloth and holding onto Wang Lin’s hair with its mouth. There was fear within its intelligent eyes.

The flames continued to charge upward, it came faster and more fierce as it went out. Soon, they became a pillar of flames that pierced through the entire pit.

The flames charged out from the pit like an erupting volcano. Wang Lin’s body was surrounded by the five black flame dragons when he left the deep pit and suddenly looked down.

Chapter 1044 – Confusion

The phantom chased closely after Wang Lin. Its cold and ruthless eyes were locked onto Wang Lin as it charged upwards.

Wang Lin’s eyes lit up, and he raised his right hand and pointed downwards.

The five black flame dragons suddenly let out roars and charged down into the deep pit. At this moment, it looked like the erupting volcano had suddenly reversed. The flames that erupted out were all surging back in.

Dense heat waves charged down. The five black flame dragons charged into the pit in the blink of an eye. They rushed at the phantom and attempted to devour it.

Boom!

An earth-shattering sound echoed, and the entire cave and the earth shook violently. The five black flame dragons were like five bolts of black thunder. They exploded when they came in contact with the phantom, causing this unimaginable explosion.

The thunderous rumble fused with its own echoes become the only sound that could be heard as it spread.

Large amounts of rocks fell off the walls of the pit, making it seem as if the pit itself was collapsing. Flashes of flames and angry roars came from the pit.

Wang Lin didn’t examine the result of the fight. He raised his hand and used Summon the Rain. Raindrops suddenly appeared. The countless rain crystals floating around Wang Lin looked very beautiful.

The drops of rain filled the entire cave and seemed to be everywhere. It made the entire cave feel really damp. They were also able to absorb traces of origin energy, causing each raindrop to become incredibly powerful.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. After the black flame dragons had charged down into the pit, Wang Lin’s hand formed a seal and he pointed down. All the raindrops began crashing down like meteors toward the collapsing pit.

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!

The violent rumbles reached a peak when Summon the Rain fell down into the pit. Each raindrop contained Wang Lin’s origin energy, so they were extremely hot. When each drop landed on the rocks, the rocks would turn red and then be burned to ashes.

Most of the rocks that fell off the pit were pierced by the raindrops. As a result, there were sizzling sounds and large amounts of gas.

This seems like a lot, but it wasn’t enough to show Wang Lin’s current peak Nirvana Scryer cultivation. When he was at the mid stage of Nirvana Scryer, his spells already contained a certain amount of power. Now that he had reached the peak of the Nirvana Scryer stage, he was able to reveal some of the true strength of the spells that Bai Fan loved to use.

After he used Summon the Rain, the countless raindrops fell, causing the collapse of the pit to reach a limit. The endless rumbles continued as countless rocks fell in an attempt to fill in the pit!

Along with Call the Wind, these two spells from Bai Fan went through a change. Wang Lin didn’t have time to observe this change. After using Summon the Rain, he immediately charged toward the restriction in the palace.

Earlier, Wang Lin had memorized the map. Not only did the map have details of the path to take, even the restrictions were marked.

At this moment, there was a bamboo forest before Wang Lin. The bamboo forest looked very beautiful, but Wang Lin knew that there were tens of thousands of restrictions inside. If one of these restrictions were triggered, the rest would immediately activate and destroy anyone that entered.

Wang Lin moved like lightning and charged into the bamboo forest. Just as he entered, there was a loud bang behind him.

Shortly after, an angry roar echoed. The phantom had broken though everything Wang Lin had thrown at it and charged out from the deep pit.

This phantom was still translucent, but a majority of the red lines around it had been broken. It looked like it was in a sorry state. It seemed Wang Lin’s attack earlier had done a number on it.

After charging out from the deep pit, it immediately saw Wang Lin closing in on the bamboo forest. Killing intent filled his eyes and it let out a roar at Wang Lin.

Roar!

The roar shook the world, and some of the surrounding restrictions were triggered by this roar. However, before their full power could be displayed, they all shattered one by one.

Even the ground began to crack like crazy, and a gust of wind charged into the high heavens.

Twisted ripples appeared before this phantom along with the roar. It stepped into the ripples and then charged at Wang Lin like crazy.

Even until now, Wang Lin didn’t know what it was. Although it was human-shaped, it had a strange appearance, especially its eyes. If you looked at its eyes, you wouldn’t think it was a person.

Although Wang Lin was escaping, he had never lost track of this phantom with his divine sense. Wang Lin still hadn’t seen this phanom use a spell. Even when it fired the red lines from its body, it was more of an instinctual move.

The more he observed, the stranger he found it. What made him really worry was the fact this thing was living inside the head of the ancient god!!

“Did it exist before the ancient god died, or did it enter after the ancient god died? If it entered after the ancient god died, then it won’t be much of an issue. But if it was there before, then was it related to the death of the 8-star ancient god? Could the death of the 8-star ancient god not be related to the ethereal heavens’ dao like I thought?”

Wang Lin knew that his speculation before was a bit absurd, so much so that even he wasn’t sure. After seeing this humanoid phantom, he was even less sure of his previous speculation.

What exactly happened back then? Who killed this 8-star ancient god and cut off the head? Why did the celestials obtain this head? What made Wang Lin doubt himself even more was if the celestials had the head, why didn’t they notice the iron sword?

Also, why didn’t they take the iron sword?

Many questions filled Wang Lin’s head, but he had no time to think about it. The roar of the phantom was closing in. Wang Lin turned around and stared at the phantom that was rapidly closing in before he stepped into the bamboo forest.

All of this was planned by Wang Lin. Even this bamboo forest was something Wang Lin had checked before in the map.

The moment Wang Lin entered the bamboo forest, he suddenly disappeared.

The humanoid phantom’s roar echoed and charged at the bamboo forest. However, it suddenly stopped outside the bamboo forest. It coldly stared at the bamboo forest and revealed a hint of caution.

However, a moment later, the caution disappeared and was replaced with anxiety. It let out a few roars as it circled the bamboo forest. The red lines around it began to curve, then it stopped hesitating and charge into the bamboo forest.

With a flash, that humanoid phantom disappeared.

The moment it reappeared, there was a flash of light behind the bamboo forest, and Wang Lin stepped out. He carefully looked at where the humanoid phantom disappeared and then at the bamboo forest before he cautiously took a step to the side.

With one step, his vision suddenly blurred. When he regained his vision, he had already exited this bamboo forest.

Although it was difficult for Wang Lin to break the restrictions here with his current understanding of restrictions, he could enter some of the restrictions without activating them. This was all thanks to the information from the map

For example, the bamboo forest was like this.

“Although this bamboo forest is strong, that humanoid phantom is even stronger. This restriction probably won’t be able to trap it for long. It is best I leave as soon as possible and enter the depths of this cave.” Wang Lin looked ahead at the many pavilions before him. A dark fog shrouded the area.

From afar, one could see the corner of a palace from within the dark fog.

That was the center of this entire cave, but Wang Lin knew that it was only the entrance to the second floor. Before he saw the map, Wang Lin was somewhat confused by this cave and didn’t know where to go.

However, now, aside from the last few floors, he knew the structure of the entire cave. There was a total of nine floors, and each floor had completely different architecture. The restrictions got stronger with each floor as well.

The restrictions on the first floor were already not weak, but as one went deeper, the strength of the restrictions would reach a terrifying level.

“This is the real Celestial Emperor Cave. Originally, when you entered from the outside, you would be transferred here. However, the transfer earlier was interrupted by the scattered devil with the bottle, so everyone was transferred into the bottle world. After we left, he summoned the Celestial Burial Pool and caused it collapse to scatter everyone once more. His purpose was to make us get lost within the Celestial Emperor Cave.” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. Although he had a map, it wasn’t complete; it only contained the map for the first seven floors. The last two floors seemed to have been wiped out of the jade by someone.

Wang Lin had noticed this when he first obtained the jade, and after comparing it to the Celestial Emperor Cave, he was even more certain.

While pondering, Wang Lin raised his foot and walked forward. After the bamboo forest, there was a small paved road. It was paved with large pieces of celestial jade and gave off a gentle glow.

Standing on the road, Wang Lin carefully looked at the black fog before him before he charged straight ahead.

Chapter 1045 – Pseudo Nirvana Void

There were countless flowers planted on the sides of the path. There were many different types of flowers, and they looked very beautiful. However, they were filled with restrictions, and one touch could activate them. They either attacked, trapped, or transported you to another place.

If one didn’t know any of this, they would find it hard to move an inch in the Celestial Emperor Cave. Even the celestial jades on this road were filled with restrictions. If one’s feet didn’t land in the proper order, depending on the direction they were walking, the restrictions would activate.

However, none of these were too dangerous to Wang Lin. Although the map didn’t contain the method to breaking them, it did have detailed explanations about them.

If others obtained this information, it might not be useful. However, Wang Lin was a restriction grandmaster, so with this information, he would be able to find the solution at a glance. This saved a lot of work.

However, with Wang Lin’s personality, he didn’t completely trust the map in the jade. Although he moved fairy quickly, he constantly checked if the information from the map was accurate.

While he moved, he slapped his bag of holding and the iron sword he had just stolen from the phantom appeared in his hand. His divine sense spread out across the sword. Although it looked normal, Wang Lin’s divine sense encountered a powerful resistance.

It was as if there was power hidden inside that prevented any divine sense from penetrating it.

In particular, the resistance from the rust marks was the strongest. After withdrawing his divine sense, Wang Lin pondered.

“What kind of sword is this?” Staring at the rust marks, Wang Lin remembered the expression Tuo Sen’s messenger had when he saw the same iron sword. He looked as if he had found a heavenly treasure, but what Tuo Sen’s messenger was looking at was not the iron sword itself. He was looking at the rust marks on the sword.

Wang Lin’s gaze remained on the rust as lifted his left hand and gently wiped the rust marks. He raised his left hand and found some red rust stains on his hand.

He placed it next to his nose and immediately smelled a faint fishy smell.

“It is only ordinary rust.” Wang Lin frowned and lowered his left hand. However, just as his hand moved, there was a tearing sound and a crack appeared where his left hand passed.

What shocked Wang Lin even more was that just as his left hand moved, the sea of flowers near him was suddenly covered in a red glow. Then all the flowers withered and the restrictions on them silently collapsed.

Wang Lin’s eyes shined brightly as he stared at the sea of flowers that seemed to have turned to ruins. Then he looked at the rust on his left hand.

After retreating a few steps, Wang Lin’s left hand with rust on it pointed at another sea of flowers. That sea of flowers immediately withered and turned into useless soil.

The rust on Wang Lin’s finger disappeared.

Wang Lin took a deep breath and stared at the rust on the iron sword. He was completely shocked. After pondering for a bit, he clenched his teeth and the third eye between his eyebrows opened.

When the third eye open, red light came out from inside it and enveloped the iron sword. Source origin energy came out and landed on the rust marks.

Under this gaze, Wang Lin immediately saw the iron sword gradually turn transparent, but the rust marks didn’t change at all and remained normal.

There was an invisible energy moving within the iron sword and cycling through it. The moment it came in contact with the source origin in Wang Lin’s third eye, it charged out as if it wanted to devour the source origin.

Wang Lin decisively cut off the spell and withdrew the source origin. The third eye closed as well. The invisible energy paused for a moment before slowly retreating back and continuing to flow within the iron sword.

Filled with confusion, Wang Lin was completely baffled. He let out a sigh and was about to put it away when a thought flashed through his mind. He looked at the iron sword, and after looking at its size, his expression became strange.

He slapped his bag of holding and five rays of golden light flew out. Five sword sheaths appeared before Wang Lin. He had obtained them back in planet Suzaku, and their effectiveness was unknown. He only knew that if he stuck a flying sword into one them, the sword’s power would become more fierce.

After taking out the five sword sheaths, Wang Lin’s right hand reached out and the iron sword went into one of the sword sheaths. The sword fit the sword sheath perfectly without an inch of extra space.

However, after it entered the sword sheath, there was no change. Wang Lin took the iron sword out and tried it with the other sword sheath. When he stuck it into the third sword sheath, the runes carved on the sword sheath emitted a harsh light!

A terrifying aura came from the iron sword and sword sheath. Wang Lin’s eyes were filled with joy as he grabbed the sword sheath, took a deep breath, and slowly pulled out the iron sword.

The moment the iron sword was partially pulled out from the sword sheath, the terrifying aura became even stronger, as if some unimaginable power was sealed inside. If the iron sword was pulled out completely, a terrifying force would appear!

Wang Lin felt a similar power from a treasure that belonged to someone else before. The owner of the treasure was dead; it was Esteemed Xuan Bao. His magic treasure was the Pseudo Nirvana Void Arrow!

“Pseudo Nirvana Void…” Wang Lin’s eyes revealed a strange light. He didn’t pull the sword out. Instead, he put it back in with a trace of excitement. Then he quickly moved forward.

He moved like a ray of light and charged forward along the small path. In an instant, he arrived next to a pavilion. This pavilion wasn’t big; it only had two floors. It looked very normal, but according to the map, this was the first restriction eye of the first floor. Only by opening all eight eyes would one have a chance to step into the black fog.

After carefully looking at the pavilion, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he noticed that the restrictions in the pavilion was already broken by someone else.

“From the look of this restriction, it wasn’t broken long ago.” Wang Lin became very cautious. It was obvious he wasn’t the only one who understood the restrictions here.

“When the Celestial Burial Pool collapsed, everyone was scattered. There must be people who broke the restriction earlier than me; I just don’t know who it was.” Wang Lin looked around. This first floor of the Celestial Emperor Cave was not big and could easily be covered by one’s divine sense. However, unless they were crazy, no one would dare to spread out their divine sense in a place with so many restrictions. Even the All-Seer would have a lot of worries, and unless he was forced into a corner, he wouldn’t do it.

After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin moved around the pavilion and stepped into the grass. His eyes flashed with lights of deduction. He didn’t stop and continued to charge forward.

The map had explanations of the restrictions on this grass. Wang Lin moved through the grass but didn’t activate any of the restrictions. He crossed the grass in the blink of an eye.

In the northeast corner of the first floor, the man in black with the hidden dragon mark was staring at the pavilion with a cold gaze.

Before him, on the other side of the pavilion, stood another person. It was the beautiful middle-aged woman. She stared at the man in black through the pavilion, her expression extremely gloomy.

“Fellow Cultivator, this is a simple restriction; why must you steal it from me?” The woman’s voice was a little hoarse but very beautiful.

She had been pushed into a restriction by the collapse of the Celestial Burial Pool. Fortunately, the restriction wasn’t very strong, so it didn’t take long for her to break out. Then she saw the black fog, and after pondering a bit, she slowly moved forward.

She didn’t worry too much about the girl in pink she brought with her. With the treasure that the girl’s senior sister had given her, she should be in no danger.

However, there were too many restrictions in the Celestial Emperor Cave. Along the way, she faced many dangerous and finally arrived here after an arduous journey. When she saw the pavilion, she immediately noticed that it was different.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, the man in black to appeared on the other side.

“Since it is only an ordinary restriction, then fellow cultivator should just let me have it.” There was a hint of sarcasm in the man’s gaze. He took a step forward and was about to enter the pavilion.

A flash of killing intent appeared in the beautiful woman’s eyes and she immediately charge forward, leaving behind an afterimage.

The man in black sneered as his right hand formed a seal and he pressed his hand formed. A black fog appeared. It turned into a dragon and attempted to devour the beautiful woman.

The woman reached toward her head and pulled out three strands of hair. She threw them forward and recited a strange chant. The three strands of hair turned into three black pythons with blood red mouths that charged at the dragon-shaped black fog.

They were both powerful cultivators, so when their spells collided, a storm was set off and muffled rumbles echoed. However, none of it spread too far; it all stayed within 1,000 feet.

They both had the same idea. They couldn’t make too much noise and catch the attention of everyone else here. This limited the volatility of the battle, and both of them wanted to end this battle as quickly as possible.

“Why don’t you go to the palace surrounded by the black fog at the center instead of stealing from me here?” The beautiful woman’s hand formed a seal and five-colored light appeared from her body. It turned into five swords that swept forward.

The man in black waved his sleeves and a flying sword shrouded in black gas appeared. It circled him once before it charged out and collided with the five swords, creating crisp collision sounds.

“Nonsense. Why don’t you go there? Although this place is a pavilion, there is a transfer array inside. It should lead to a storage space. You know all of this, so why bother hiding it?”

The beautiful woman’s expression was neutral, but there was a flash of coldness in her eyes. It was just as the man had said. When she arrived here, she noticed it, and that’s how the current conflict occurred.

As their treasures entangled with each other, the crisp sounds increased and began to spread. The beautiful woman’s eyes lit up and she quickly said, “Our strength is quite even. Others will notice us before we can finish this fight, so why don’t both of us go into the transfer array and split the treasure in half?”

The man in black looked at the beautiful woman and nodded. The two of them didn’t waste any words as they both retrieved their treasures and stepped into the pavilion together.

However, just as they stepped in, they both looked toward the same direction. There a person walking out from the pavilions.

This person was Wang Lin!

Wang Lin immediately saw the two people inside the pavilion. His eyes narrowed and he slowly stopped.

After seeing Wang Lin, the man in black revealed a strange smile. It was the beautiful woman who had a strange expression. When her gaze swept past Wang Lin, she was shocked.

“His cultivation is even more strange! When I first saw him, although he had the power of a Nirvana Cleanser cultivator, his cultivation only seemed to be at the early stage of Nirvana Scryer. Then, later on, he was still only at the mid stage of Nirvana Scryer. However, now he has reached the peak of the Nirvana Scryer stage. Is he hiding his cultivation, or did he have a breakthrough recently?”

Wang Lin carefully looked at the two of them. He had obviously seen through the secret of the pavilion. In fact, the map showed that there was a transfer array to a storage space inside that pavilion. Even without the map, Wang Lin could see the transfer array inside.

The beautiful woman pondered for a bit while looking at Wang Lin, then she slowly said, “Fellow Cultivator Wang is here as well. How about the three of us go together and divide the treasures we get?”

Just as Wang Lin was about to speak, the ground trembled and an angry roar came from the distance.

He couldn’t see anything when he looked into the distance. There were too many restrictions in the Celestial Emperor Cave, and those restrictions formed great obstacles, as if there were countless worlds. Even when two people were close, if they were in two different restrictions, it would be difficult to find each other.

From a glance, the cave looked very calm, but that was only on the surface. If all the restrictions here were broken, one would immediately find a bamboo forest in the distance. It was shrouded in a monstrous red mist, and the ferocious roar coming from within it was heaven-shaking.

Wang Lin’s expression immediately changed. Although the bamboo forest in the distance looked normal at a glance, he understood that the restrictions there had been broken. The humanoid phantom had broken through faster than he expected.

Without replying to the beautiful woman’s words, Wang Lin changed straight toward the palace shrouded by black fog. On the way here, he had checked and found that all the restriction eyes had been broken. It seemed someone was one step ahead and had already entered the second floor.

The reason he came to the pavilion was because it was the path with the least restrictions toward the palace at the center.

The expression of the man in black changed when he saw Wang Lin run as if he was escaping for his life the moment the roar came. Without hesitation, he gave up on the transfer array inside the pavilion and chased after Wang Lin.

Only the beautiful woman hesitated, but just as she hesitated, that angry roar came closer and closer as if it was approaching at a rapid speed.

If you were able to see inside the world within each restriction and looked from above, then you would clearly see the humanoid phantom charging toward Wang Lin. It triggered countless restrictions, and there were countless flashes of light as restrictions attacked it. Some restrictions even teleported it away.

However, it didn’t take more than few breathes of time before it broke the restrictions and charged out. It seemed to be learning the restrictions, and it broke them faster and faster. In the end, it was charging ahead in a straight line.

Chapter 1046 – Master Void’s Killing Intent

Wang Lin moved forward like a meteor, and along the way, he passed countless restrictions. He moved toward the black fog at the center according to the map.

The man in black wasn’t any slower than Wang Lin. He stared at Wang Lin’s feet and moved in the exact same path closely behind Wang Lin.

Behind them was the beautiful woman. She was a powerful cultivator, so she soon made a choice. Seeing Wang Lin and the man in black leaving in such haste, she clenched her teeth and quickly followed.

However, although the beautiful woman understood restrictions, she wasn’t as good as Wang Lin. Adding the fact that she was lagging behind, she was soon blocked by some restrictions.

The angry roar from the distance came closer and closer. There were also popping sounds that were obviously from restrictions being broken. Wang Lin moved even faster and jumped into the air before a pavilion. Flashes of restriction came from the pavilion, and the light filled the area as if it wanted to stop Wang Lin from advancing.

Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as his body took seven steps to the right at an unimaginable angle. After these seven steps, his body had already sunk into the restrictions in the pavilion and then he penetrated through them in a flash.

Behind him, the man in black followed closely. The man in black stepped exactly as Wang Lin did and unexpectedly got through the restrictions as well.

As for the beautiful woman, when she broke through the restrictions and got here, she could only helplessly look at Wang Lin and the man in black move far away. She could not break the restrictions before in a short period of time.

Just at this moment, the angry roar echoed violently behind her and entered her ears. At the same time, the restrictions behind her trembled and all collapsed as a red shadow rushed out.

The beautiful woman sucked in a breath of cold air. She had never seen this human figure before, but she felt a powerful sense of crisis shroud her body.

That human figure’s cold gaze was filled with anger. It let out a roar and charged straight at the beautiful woman. It lifted its right hand and was about to claw at her.

However, just at this moment, a roar echoed.

“You damn beast, you dare!?” As the roar came, a ripple appeared before the beautiful woman and spread out. The beautiful woman was pushed back and the human figure was also knocked back by the impact.

A blue figure came from the distance. He looked old, but his eyes shined brightly. It was Master Void!

Master Void was also shocked greatly. He had long since broken out from the restriction he was sent into from the collapse of the Celestial Burial Pool. He had circled around the first floor for a long time and had quite a good harvest. However, when that angry roar echoed, his mind trembled.

He quickly followed the roar and saw the beautiful woman in danger.

He was related to the power the beautiful woman belonged to, so he couldn’t just stand by and not help. After using a spell to knock the human figure away, he took the beautiful woman and charged into the restrictions in the pavilion with his powerful cultivation.

The restrictions flashed violently above the pavilion, but as Master Void crashed through, they immediately collapsed. Master Void took the beautiful woman and charged ahead.

The human figure looked at Master Void, then it let out a roar and chased after him.

Along the way, Wang Lin quickly rushed through several restrictions without touching any of them. Soon, he closed in on the black fog in the center of the floor.

This black fog was very strange; it was filled with devilish energy. However, with the roar closing in behind him, Wang Lin didn’t have time to think before he stepped into the black fog.

The man in black’s pupils shrank, but he also entered without hesitation after Wang Lin.

The man in black followed Wang Lin while maintaining a certain distance and slowly said, “The devilish energy here is strong; it is best for Fellow Cultivator Wang to be careful.

“Also, can Fellow Cultivator Wang give me an explanation on the thing chasing us?”

“That is a beast from the Celestial Burial Pool!” Wang Lin said one line as he moved like lightning within the black fog toward the palace.

This palace was very large, far larger than any of the pavilions. Looking at it from the outside, it was filled pressure, and the dark fog gave off an eerie feeling. It was like a fierce beast coldly staring at the small cultivator at its feet.

When standing inside the hall, if one looked up, they would see just how large the palace was. There was a gap in the gate to the palace. Although the gap was small, it was enough for 10 people to go in at once.

Wang Lin moved like lightning. When he got close, he directly entered the door and stepped into the palace on the first floor of the Celestial Emperor Cave!

The moment Wang Lin entered the palace, he was startled for a moment.

There were two huge statues inside the hall. Both were forming a seal and seemed to be pointing at the void with glaring eyes. The statues gave off a powerful pressure, as if the heavens’ might filled the hall. This sight would shock the mind of anyone who saw it.

Staring at the statues, Wang Lin took a deep breath and quickly recovered. He had a similar experience with the Flower Imperial Concubine, so although he was shocked, it wasn’t too much.

Wang Lin’s gaze quickly swept the hall, but he didn’t find the entrance to the second floor.

At this moment, the man in black also entered. When he saw the two large statues, he was startled, and the black dragon mark between his eyebrows instantly appeared.

Wang Lin’s pupils suddenly shrank as he stared at the dragon mark between the man in black’s eyebrows. However, he quickly withdrew his gaze and didn’t reveal anything in his expression.

The man in black recovered in an instant. The moment he recovered, his expression became gloomy and he looked at Wang Lin. When he saw that Wang Lin wasn’t looking toward him, he couldn’t help but frown.

He knew that his secret had appeared for an instant; he just wasn’t sure if Wang Lin had noticed it.

Just at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the hall. It was obvious the restrictions were being forced open by someone. Master Void brought the beautiful woman and entered the hall.

The moment he entered, even he was startled by the two statues, but quickly he recovered. Unless you were carefully observing, it would be impossible to see that pause from Master Void.

As for the beautiful woman next to him, confusion filled her eyes. However, with the help of Master Void, she quickly returned to normal.

As soon as Master Void saw Wang Lin, killing intent filled his eyes. Just as he was about to step forward, the roar from outside the hall got closer.

The beautiful woman’s face was a bit pale. When she saw Wang Lin, she quickly said, “Wang Lin, what did you do to cause that human-shaped thing to pursue you all the way here?”

After experiencing the danger from before, the beautiful woman broke down all pretense with Wang Lin. She no longer called him “fellow cultivator” and instead directly called his name.

Wang Lin had already searched the entire hall. Although he had not found the entrance to the second floor, his eyes fell on the two statues, and he had some guesses. After hearing the beautiful woman’s words, his eyes lit up and he calmly said, “How do you know it was me who attracted that human-like thing?” As Wang Lin spoke, he retreated back a few steps toward the statues as if he was afraid of the beautiful woman suddenly attacking him.

The beautiful woman angrily said, “If it wasn’t because of you, then why did you head straight for this place the moment you heard that roar?!”

“That human-like thing is a beast that was buried under the Celestial Burial Pool. When I left the restriction, I encountered it. After I fought it and found I was no match, I ran. Should I have not escaped and allowed it kill me?” As Wang Lin spoke, he retreated a few more steps, and he was almost next to the statues. His hand was on his bag, but his gaze was not on the beautiful woman. Instead, it was on Master Void.

Master Void’s power was too much pressure on Wang Lin!

Even though he had reached the peak of the Nirvana Scryer stage and had an ancient god body, he was no match for Master Void. After all, Master Void was a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator!

The beautiful woman let out a cold snort. She was about to speak, but Master Void interrupted as he stepped toward Wang Lin and slowly said, “Junior, I don’t care if it is your fault or not; there is no need to explain. I will give you one chance. Go outside and lure away the human-like thing!”

Although Master Void’s words sounded calm, but they contained a spell. Along with that step, a ripple spread between him and Wang Lin. However, it wasn’t just one invisible ripple, countless invisible ripples had appeared.

The ripples appeared very quickly. The moment they appeared, they released the power of a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator. They moved at an unimaginable speed toward Wang Lin’s chest.

Just at this instant, a flash of blue light came from Wang Lin’s right eye and the azure light shield appeared before him. The ripples collided with the shield, and there was an earth-shattering explosion before him.

The azure light shield wasn’t able to resist at all and was pushed back into Wang Lin’s chest. Crackling sounds came from Wang Lin’s body as he coughed out blood and flew back like a kite with a broken string.

As the azure light shield was being pushed back, a ripple entered his body. The ripple was extremely powerful, and it frantically tried to tear Wang Lin’s meridians apart. This unimaginable force charged directly through Wang Lin’s body in an attempt to destroy his body and origin soul.

All of this happened too fast and finished in an instant. So fast that even the beautiful woman was startled and the man in black’s pupils shrank.

The moment Wang Lin’s body was mercilessly pushed back, Master Void was surprised. Although that attack just now wasn’t his full power, it could have easily killed a Nirvana Scryer cultivator!

He thought that with that attack, the possible future Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor would surely die and the Vermillion Bird would die with it.

Chapter 1047 – Resistance

However, what shocked him was that not only did Wang Lin’s body not collapse, but he didn’t even immediately die. That shield that suddenly appeared had cancelled out 70% of his power.

However, just the remaining 30% was enough to kill this Wang Lin, and what shocked Master Void was that this 30% portion only made Wang Lin cough out blood. Wang Lin only ended up seriously injured and not dead!

Wang Lin floated in the air as the ripple raged inside his body and charged at his origin soul. Although Wang Lin’s origin soul had the Ancient God Leather Armor, the vibrations still caused his origin soul to become bleak. He coughed out another large mouthful of blood and his body was violently thrown back.

The pain from his body showed that even with his ancient god body, he was seriously injured. However, Wang Lin’s gaze was still calm as he stared at Master Void.

When he was thrown again, he landed at the center of the gaze of the two statues in the hall.

“You didn’t die? Let me let me fix that!” Killing intent appeared in Master Void’s eyes. He vaguely felt like there was something wrong with the location Wang Lin was in. He lifted his right hand and mercilessly slammed down toward Wang Lin!

In his mind, he would definitely kill Wang Lin with this attack. A rumble echoed within the hall when Master Void attacked Wang Lin. A yellow sandstorm appeared and charged at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin’s expression was still calm, and there was even a hint of ridicule in it. He knew that he was not Master Void’s opponent. Wang Lin felt that this person had ill intent toward him back at the Celestial Burial Pool. After learning about his Vermillion Bird awakening, Wang Lin was 80% sure this person had the intention to kill him.

Now that they were so close within the hall, Master Void would definitely reveal his killing intent. Wang Lin understood that it was futile to resist with his current strength. Fortunately, he had vaguely found the entrance to the second floor. He simply borrowed the attack to be thrown to this position. In addition, he had built a killing formation in this short period of time. The target was Master Void!

If others don’t mess with him, he won’t mess with them! If Master Void hadn’t attacked, Wang Lin wouldn’t have used this killing formation. But since the other party had attacked, then Wang Lin wouldn’t simply do nothing!

“Even if I can’t kill you, I must leave behind a deep impression!”

Wang Lin’s hand formed the same seal as the two statues. At this moment, purple light came from the gazes of the two statues.

The two rays of purple light charged out and circled Wang Lin, forming a vortex. Wang Lin’s body was dragged toward the vortex.

However, Master Void had cultivated for a very long time, so he naturally had strong intuition and immediately realized that there was something wrong with were Wang Lin landed, so he immediately added an attack. The sand storm formed by his spell charged at Wang Lin inside the vortex.

If Wang Lin moved according to the speed of the vortex, then the sandstorm would arrive and Wang Lin would die before he could enter.

Master Void charged at Wang Lin.

There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin’s eyes. The moment the sandstorm closed in, his third eye opened up. Wang Lin’s third eye was his strongest spell, and it was something he wouldn’t dare to casually use. However, with Master Void closing in and facing this life and death crisis, he opened it without hesitation.

“Master Void!!!” Killing intent filled Wang Lin’s eyes as he let out a roar. The vertical third eye opened and the red light from within opened up like a fan.

The moment Wang Lin’s third eye opened, Master Void’s calm expression changed for the first time! It wasn’t just a small change, it looked like his world had just been flipped upside down!

“Source origin!!!” Master Void’s eyes were filled with disbelief, but were then filled with ecstasy. At this moment, he forgot about the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect and the Cultivation Alliance. The only thing in front of him was the source origin that came out of Wang Lin’s third eye.

Not only his, but even the expression of the man in black changed greatly. He stared at Wang Lin with shining eyes filled with disbelief.

Only the beautiful woman revealed a strange expression that didn’t contain any greed. She looked at Wang Lin and frowned.

The source origin filled the red light, and the red light collided with the sandstorm. The sandstorm trembled, and even though it contained the power of a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, it rapidly dissipated.

Wang Lin felt pain from between his eyebrows. He originally didn’t have much source origin left, and it was rapidly dissipating when facing off against the sandstorm. However, he didn’t withdraw it, and instead, with eyes filled with killing intent, the source origin poured out from his third eye.

Wang Lin knew in his heart how important source origin was to people who were seeking the third step, so he know that Master Void would take the bait!

The red light expanded greatly and the sandstorm immediately collapsed. The source origin shot out from the red light and went straight at Master Void.

Master Void’s expression changed, but the greed in his eyes became even stronger. He wanted to dodge it, but he was unwilling to give up a 1 in 10,000 chance to feel source origin personally.

With this hesitation, the red light from Wang Lin’s third eye surrounded Master Void. At this moment, Master Void’s body seemed to be peeled away layer by layer and turned half-transparent.

“Source origin… source origin!!” Master Void’s eyes were filled with greed, and his divine sense spread out and observed the source origin. He completely ignored the fact that he was in a battle right now, as Wang Lin was simply too insignificant in his eyes. He was confident he could understand this source origin, and once he did… His old heart suddenly felt like he was in the prime of his youth and his face became even more agitated.

He could had never dreamed that that he would encounter the legendary source origin that was rumored to be the key to reaching the third step, and it happened when he was only trying to eradicate a possible future danger!

Wang Lin’s body slowly sank into the purple vortex, but the killing intent in his eyes increased greatly. He had already laid out the killing formation, and Master Void had entered it. Now the only thing left was for him to act!

He slapped his bag of holding and a sword sheath appeared in his hand, and inside the sheath was an iron sword! Wang Lin’s eyes became very cold as he held the sword’s handle.

Chapter 1048 – Precious Treasure

The moment Wang Lin held the iron sword, all the killing intent from his eyes completely disappeared and his eyes were as calm as water.

It was as if all this killing intent he had toward Master Void was absorbed by the iron sword. However, this gaze without any killing intent was several times more terrifying than the gaze with monstrous killing intent.

Wang Lin vaguely felt that the iron sword had its own spirit, and it was about awaken at this moment. When it awakened, it was going to release a power that could destroy the world.

The beautiful woman was still staring at Wang Lin. The moment Wang Lin took out the sword sheath, she frowned, still not recognizing what it was. However, the moment Wang Lin’s gaze became calm, her eyes suddenly widened and filled with disbelief as a trace of her memory was jogged.

There was also the man in black. His gaze also landed on the sword sheath in Wang Lin’s hand, and his pupils violently shrank.

Wang Lin’s eyes were calm as he held the sword handle and suddenly pulled it out. When the iron sword left the sword sheath, a terrifying aura surged out.

This aura was very strong. The moment it appeared, even crackling sounds came from the hall, as if it was going to collapse. Countless cracks appeared on the two statues next to Wang Lin in the blink of an eye, making it seem like they were going to shatter at any moment.

In just an instant, the iron sword came out from the sword sheath completely. Wang Lin didn’t hesitate to raise the iron sword and mercilessly chop down at Master Void, who was still immersed in comprehending the source origin!

Master Void originally didn’t consider Wang Lin a threat at all. In his eyes, Wang Lin was merely an ant. His divine sense quickly spread out around the source origin and attempted to find out the secret of creating source origin.

His intuition told him that if he could find the answer, that meant he could find the right path to the third step. The more he thought about this, the more excited he became.

He could even hear his own heartbeat accelerating. However, just as he was rapidly comprehending and was just about to find a clue, his body immediately went cold and the feeling of a life and death crisis was upon him.

This feeling of a life and death crisis was no weaker than than the collapse of the Celestial Burial Pool. In fact, it was several times stronger than that collapse. Master Void even felt like this aura was a bit familiar. His pupils shrank as he stared at the iron sword in Wang Lin’s hand.

“Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure!!!”

Although the sword didn’t leave Wang Lin’s hand, the illusion of an giant, 100,000-foot-long silver sword appeared between Wang Li and Master Void.

This large sword was completely made of silver light and gave off a harsh glow. The moment it appeared, it mercilessly smashed down on Master Void. Master Void sucked in a breath of cold air and his eyes filled with shock.

He didn’t have time to dodge at all. Wang Lin’s timing was very good, and that was the key of this killing formation. The silver sword was too fast, far faster than a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator could cast a spell. The silver light smashed into Master Void’s chest.

Just at this instant, Master Void’s origin soul came out of his body at an unimaginable speed and surrounded his body. Master Void’s body shined purple, and his origin soul was completely purple.

An ordinary cultivator’s origin soul was very fragile, so they relied on their physical body. However, when you reach a high cultivation level like Master Void, your origin soul will be far stronger than your body. Master Void surrounded his body with his origin soul to block the silver sword!

The silver light flashed violently and Master Void’s body trembled, and his face turned red before coughed out blood. His origin soul trembled before returning into his body.

Master Void’s revealed a hideous expression he had never revealed before and popping sounds came from inside his body. He was pushed back, but he forced himself to stop, so he stayed within the source origin. This allowed the source origin to invade his body, making his injuries even worse.

“Little bastard, even with a Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure, you don’t have the qualifications to kill me!” Master Void’s eyes narrowed as he mercilessly clawed at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin’s face was pale as his origin energy had left his body and went into the iron sword like crazy. He had already checked the iron sword before and knew that he could use it without refining it.

This iron sword that was very different from traditional treasures confused Wang Lin. However, to complete the killing formation, he set used he it without any hesitation.

Wang Lin was already prepared for it to absorb his origin energy. Although a large amount of origin energy was leaving his body, he didn’t panic and remained calm.

The moment Master Void clawed at Wang Lin, Wang Lin lifted the iron sword once more and took a deep breath. Origin energy surged out from his body as the sword was covered in a silver light once more and he slashed down.　

The silver light was bright when Master Void’s right hand violently waved backward and his expression became extremely gloomy. He was a bit anxious now as being inside the source origin meant he would constantly be attacked by it even though it didn’t hurt much. In comparison, this amount of source origin wasn’t even one ten thousandth of his origin energy, but just this small amount of source origin required a majority of his origin energy to resist.

He also had to immerse his entire mind to comprehend it while resisting it. Before, Master Void didn’t consider Wang Lin a threat, but he never expected Wang Lin to have a Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure!

As a result, he had to pay attention, but he was unwilling to give up this chance to comprehend source origin. His killing intent toward Wang Lin had reached a limit.

“I only need seven more minutes and I’m confident I can understand the mystery behind this source origin!” Master Void slapped his bag of holding and a purple ice cube appeared in his hand. The moment the ice cube appeared, the entire hall was enveloped in an icy chill.

Feeling his heart ache, a portion of Master Void’s origin soul split to form another Master Void. Then that body swallowed the purple ice cube and charged at Wang Lin like a bolt of lightning.

Wang Lin waved the iron sword, and with a flash of silver light, the illusion of the giant silver sword appeared once more. The sword shot toward Master Void’s origin soul avatar. The avatar formed a seal and pointed at the giant sword. There was a loud bang and the avatar was pushed back. The avatar dimmed greatly, but the illusionary sword also collapsed.

The moment the purple ice cube appeared, Wang Lin felt an aura similar to that of his iron sword and Esteemed Xuan Bao’s arrow. It was obvious that the purple ice cube was also a Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure.

At this moment, Wang Lin had lost a large amount of origin energy in his body, but right now it wasn’t the time to worry about his origin energy. The killing formation had already begun, and Wang Lin was unwilling to give it up. He had used the source origin as bait to set up this killing formation. If he couldn’t kill or cause some serious injuries to Master Void, it would be considered a failure on his planning.

Not only did he expose his source origin, but he even exposed his Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure. However, if he could seriously injury or kill Master Void, it would be enough to deter the beautiful woman and the man in black.

After taking a deep breath, Wang Lind decided to close his eyes. When he used this iron sword, he had a feeling that this iron sword had its own spirit. Wang Lin wasn’t able to display its true power due to his cultivation level, but since this iron sword required no refining to use, there was a way to display its true strength. He only needed to treat the treasure like a person.

The moment Wang Lin closed his eyes and gave up control of the iron sword, the iron sword let out a sword hymn. Master Void’s avatar charged out once more. The purple ice cube inside the avatar emitted endless chill. Before it even got close, powerful cold energy was already closing on Wang Lin.

The iron sword in Wang Lin’s hand suddenly rose up, but that wasn’t Wang Lin who moved, it was the iron sword who pulled Wang Lin’s hand. Wang Lin’s origin energy left his body like crazy, and the iron sword released heaven-shaking sword hymns as if it was happy. Just as Master Void’s avatar closed in, another giant silver sword appeared.

However, this silver sword was different; it looked like a real sword. It was impossible to tell it was an illusion at all. The moment it appeared, the giant silver sword immediately slashed down!

With a bang, Master Void’s avatar collided with the large sword and retreated a few steps. However, the large sword didn’t disappear, and its silver light shined even brighter. Then it moved in an arc and attacked from the left side.

The second attack connected with the first attack as if it was a mortal using sword martial arts. If that was it, it wouldn’t be shocking, but as soon as the silver sword collided with Master Void’s avatar a second time, it immediately moved and attacked from below.

There was no pause at all; the large silver sword turned into a ray of silver light and continued to attack Master Void’s avatar like a silver dragon. Strike after strike, the silver sword attacked Master Void’s avatar.

Its speed became faster and faster. The first strike was a bit slow, but the second strike was a bit faster. Now, in the blink of an eye, seven strikes connected into one.

All of Wang Lin’s origin energy had disappeared in the sixth strike. As for the seventh strike, it absorbed his body’s essence. Fortunately, his ancient god body was very strong and was able to endure it.

After the seventh strike, the eighth strike struck like a silver dragon, and following that were the ninth, tenth, and eleventh strikes!

Chapter 1049 – If You Want My Treasure, Then Feel Free to Come at Me!

Almost all the gazes in the hall were focused on Master Void’s avatar. The continuous strike from the treasure shocked everyone’s hearts greatly.

All of this happened too quickly. The silver light became faster and faster, then came the 19th strike, the 22nd strike!

Wang Lin’s skin withered on a large scale and his eyes became dim. Not even his ancient god body could withstand this kind of absorption.

After the 17th strike, each strike took several times more than the last, and 23 strikes was Wang Lin’s limit. After the 23rd strike, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes!

Like a ray of lightning flashing across the sky, the silver light attacking Master Void’s avatar suddenly stopped. The moment it stopped, the silver shined like it had never shined before and lit up the entire hall.

Under the flash of the silver light, 23 large silver swords appeared next to Master Void’s avatar. The moment they appeared, they all pierced through the avatar.

The 23 large swords were like 23 silver meteors that fell at an unimaginable speed. A series of rumbles echoed when all 23 swords pierced through Master Void’s avatar.

The avatar didn’t even have the chance to dodge. When the 23 large swords penetrated the avatar, the purple ice cube inside cracked and began to collapse.

Along with the ice cube, Master Void’s avatar was split into countless pieces when the 23 swords penetrated it.

This didn’t end here. The 23 large swords seemed to form a net, and they charged at Master Void. Master Void was still comprehending the source origin when his face turned pale and he coughed out blood. He was aghast at the situation.

“This… This isn’t an ordinary Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure!!” He didn’t expect Wang Lin to have such a powerful treasure and be so difficult to kill. Now that his origin soul avatar was destroyed, he sustained serious injuries.

His scalp went numb when he saw the 23 swords that destroyed his origin soul avatar and his own Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure charge at him. However, he only needed a few more breaths of time to fully comprehend the mysteries of the source origin. If you wanted to make him dodge, then you might as well just kill him instead.

“Screw it!” Master Void had cultivated for countless years and had naturally guessed that Wang Lin had used the source origin as bait and forced him into a situation where he couldn’t use his full power. This forced him to place most of his effort into comprehending the source origin and thus created a killing formation that made it hard him to advance or retreat!

He didn’t retreat and instead slapped his bag of holding. A black tortoise shell the size of his fist appeared in his hand. It was completely black and released a powerful pressure. It was unknown where the shell was removed from.

This tortoise shell was also a Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure. As an important member of the Cultivation Alliance, he was naturally not short on treasures! After throwing the tortoise shell, Master Void clenched his teeth and no longer paid any attention to any of this. His divine sense spread out like crazy as he comprehend the source origin. He could feel that he was only a sliver away from finding the path to the third step that he had been dreaming of for countless years!

The tortoise shell flew out and floated before Master Void. It released a large amount of black light, but just when the black light started shining, the 23 large swords came crashing down on the tortoise shell. A thunderous rumble echoed, and while the tortoise shell was pushed back, it was able to resist the attack.

However, this attack didn’t stop. After the third sword dissipated, the fourth and fifth swords quickly followed… This went on until the 21st sword smashed down as a ray of silver light.

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!!

The black tortoise shell continued to retreat, and countless cracks had appeared on it. It only lasted three breaths of time before it shattered into countless pieces and scattered in all directions!

When it collapsed and lost the power to block, the 22nd and 23rd swords shot directly at Master Void.

These last two large swords contained the most destructive power. In the blink of an eye, they shot toward Master Void’s chest.

He didn’t have time to use any spell at this distance, and it was impossible for him to give up this chance to comprehend the source origin. Although this sounds slow, it all happened in an instant. At this moment of crisis, Master Void waved his hand and his clothes began to move as if they were being blown by the wind. A purple wind suddenly appeared and formed a whirlwind around him.

However, the moment the whirlwind appeared, it collided with the 22nd sword. There was a loud bang and the whirlwind collapsed!

The moment it collapsed, the last sword directly went through and landed on Master Void’s chest!

At the same time, Wang Lin’s eyes shined brightly. He was waiting for this moment, which was the final moment of this killing formation!

He raised his sore left hand and rubbed the rust marks on the iron sword. Once his left hand had rust on it, he flicked his finger!

When Master Void was hit by the 23rd sword, he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale, his clothes were in tatters, and his chest was a bloody mess.

“Almost there!!!” Master Void seemed to have gone crazy. He completely ignored his body’s injuries and focused on comprehending the source origin. He had a feeling that he was very close to the path to the third step and was about to be completely enlightened!

However, at this moment, the strange power from the rust entered the void when Wang Lin flicked his finger. Just as Master Void was about to comprehend the path to the third step, the rust flew by like a gentle breeze.

Master Void’s body trembled and a large amount of blood sprayed out from his chest. Blood came out of all his orifices, forcing him to retreat. This made him leave the red light the source origin was in, and everything he worked for was ruined!

“No!!!” Master Void’s eyes were red like a beast’s, but his body was thrown back away from the source origin, and there was nothing he could do about it. At the same time, a large amount of blood gushed out from his body.

Wang Lin’s third eye flashed and the red light returned. Almost all the source origin was gone, only a sliver remained.

Wang Lin held the iron sword as his cold gaze shifted toward the beautiful woman. The beautiful woman’s mind trembled at the gaze. Wang Lin’s spell and treasure had shocked her greatly. She unexpectedly didn’t dare to meet his gaze and lowered her head.

As for the man in black, when Wang Lin looked over, the man in black’s eyes revealed shock and fear. He unexpectedly also didn’t dare to face Wang Lin. The aura Wang Lin currently had was the strongest it had ever been in his life!

Whether it was through a scheme or deception, he was able to beat a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator. No one was willing to provoke someone like this!

“If you want my source origin, if you want my treasure, then quickly come and take them!” Killing intent flashed across Wang Lin’s eyes and he revealed a sneer. His body gradually disappeared into the purple vortex formed by the two statues.

Although he disappeared, the shock he left the beautiful woman, the man in black, and Master Void lingered for a long time.

The fear in the man in black’s eyes couldn’t dissipate. Just thinking about the 23 swords Wang Lin had summoned made his heart feel a chill. Although he knew that Wang Lin had probably spent all his power summoning those 23 swords and was just putting up a front, he didn’t dare to gamble.

That 23 sword attack made him lose some confidence.

“The Vermillion Bird Divine Sect will revive once more because of this person. Not only will they return to their former glory, they will reach a new height! This person… has source origin! Who gave him the source origin…” The man in black trembled and the fear in his eyes became even stronger.

Master Void’s body landed on the ground. His face was pale and he was in a miserable state. His eyes were filled with frustration!

“Only a sliver more! Only sliver more, ah!” Master Void clenched his fist. The pain from his body and having half of his origin soul destroyed caused his cultivation level to fall greatly. The hope he had when he was about to comprehend the source origin followed by the irreconcilable disappointment caused him to let out a roar.

However, he was someone who had cultivated for countless years. After letting out a roar, he calmed down and even more intense killing intent appeared in his eyes.

“That child is far too cunning; he is also bold and decisive. I must not allow him to become the future Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor! In order to kill him, I’m willing to risk having my first Heaven’s Blight arrive 3,000 years early to use this chance to kill him and seize the source origin!”

The shock in the beautiful woman’s heart was no less intense than that of the man in black or Master Void. In fact, because she knew more, she was even more shocked than the other two.

What shocked her beside Wang Lin’s source origin was that iron sword! She had only heard of powerful treasures like this once in her life.

She remembered back in the Brilliant Void Realm, when the elders were talking about treasures in the world, they once said this one thing. Although the treasures in the world were split into Spirit, Mysterious, Celestial, Void, and Nirvana, they weren’t the only five types. There were treasures even above those five ranks, but the even the elder talking about it had only encountered Nirvana level treasures.

There were many Spirit and Mysterious treasures; most treasures used by first step cultivators were within these two ranks. There were also some first step cultivators with Celestial treasures.

However, for second step cultivators, Celestial treasures weren’t strong enough to meet their requirements. For Nirvana Shatterer old monsters, unless the celestial treasure was of top quality, then it was often not as useful as celestial spells.

At this time, these Nirvana Shatterer old monsters would search for a higher rank of treasure. Ignoring the commonly used Celestial treasures of the ancient refiners, they looked for treasures that dated back to even older times. The relics from those ancient times were Void treasures!

Chapter 1050 – The Sixth Floor

Although Void treasures were rare, there were still some left. Every single Nirvana Shatterer old monster would treasure a Void treasure greatly. After all, the method of producing them was lost, and they couldn’t be repaired. Once they were broken, they would lose a lot of their power.

In truth, some Pseudo Nirvana Void treasures weren’t really Pseudo Nirvana Void; they were merely just Void treasures. They were just a bit stronger, and the “Pseudo Nirvana Void” name was just for vanity’s sake.

For normal Nirvana Shatterer old monsters, Void treasures were already the peak, and they would do anything for them. However, for those that stood at the top, although Void treasures were still precious, they weren’t lacking these kinds of treasures.

In truth, none of the treasures in this world would catch their attention. What they pursued was how to transcend the second step toward the legendary third step they all dreamed of.

However, this third step was too too ethereal, and the path was to vague. One could only wait for the five Heaven’s Blights to arrive one by one. In the end, they would become a grain of sand among the waves and die.

For those old monsters that had lived such long lives, it was no longer a dream or hope of reaching the third step, but a desire to live. Only with the power of the third step could they endure the five Heaven’s Blights; otherwise, what awaited them was death.

At this moment, a cultivator from the system under the Wind Celestial Realm arrived in the Alliance Star System. Although he hadn’t reached the third step, he had passed the fourth Heaven’s Blight!

The five Heaven’s Blights were things all Nirvana Shatterer cultivators had to face. Every time they passed a Heaven’s Blight, their strength would increase greatly. However, they were simply too difficult, and failure meant they would immediately die!

The reason this person was able to pass the fourth Heaven’s Blight was precisely because he had a magic treasure. This treasure was a Nirvana treasure! After investigating, Nirvana treasures seemed to come from primordial times, but the amount that remained was extremely low.

Although this was the case, those Nirvana Shatterer old monsters found records of treasures that were beyond Void treasures but just second to Nirvana treasures.

These were Pseudo Nirvana Void treasures!

Although Pseudo Nirvana Void treasures weren’t as rare as Nirvana treasures, only a pathetic amount still existed. Almost all of them were in the hands of peak Nirvana Shatterer cultivators.

The requirement for joining the Alliance elder group was to have a Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure!　

Aside from the fact that these treasures were extremely powerful, they also played a certain part in helping a cultivator resist the five Heaven’s Blights.

Pseudo Nirvana Void treasures were also split into different grades. They were split into low, mid, high, and top tier, like normal treasures. After all, these treasures were all left behind by ancestors. The descendants didn’t even know how to make them, much less categorize them properly.

“It can absorb a cultivator’s killing intent, form an illusion, and have such power… The treasure in Wang Lin’s hand might be high quality Pseudo Nirvana Void, or even a peak Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure!” The beautiful woman gasped and dread filled her eyes.

While the three of them were thinking, a roar came from outside. The man in black immediately jumped between the statues and copied Wang Lin to leave this place. Master Void and the beautiful woman also flew over.

At this moment, at the in the second floor of the Celestial Emperor Cave, there was a flash of purple light at a pavilion near the center of the second floor. Wang Lin’s figure walked out from the light.

“A Nirvana Shatterer cultivator is unexpectedly difficult to kill. Master Void is seriously injured, but still not dead! There is also that beautiful woman, and right now…” When Wang Lin appeared, he immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood and showed a rare sign of fatigue.

“However, this iron sword was beyond my imagination. I didn’t think it would have this kind of power. If I can get all five iron swords for the sword sheaths and use them…” Wang Lin took a deep breath and shook his head. If he were to use them at the same time, he would likely be drained dry in an instant!

He put the iron sword back into the sword sheath and put it back inside his bag. Wang Lin took out some pills and devoured them. Without waiting for them to digest, he clenched his teeth and moved forward.

He had put up a front and used his momentum form seriously injuring Master Void to shock the man in black and the beautiful woman. Otherwise, if both of them attacked, Wang Lin would have without a doubt died.

At this moment, he had no time to sit down and recover. He had to use his advantage of knowing the layout of the cave to create distance between him and them.

After taking a deep breath, Wang Lin moved through the various restrictions and soon arrived at one of the restriction eyes marked on the map. After taking a look, Wang Lin immediately confirmed his speculation that someone else had come here first and broke the restriction eyes. It was unknown what floor they had already reached.

He dragged his weary body toward the palace at the center surrounded by the black fog. The first six floors of the Celestial Emperor Cave were mostly structured the same. With Wang Lin’s familiarity, although he was slower than usual, he still quickly arrived at the center of the second floor where the entrance to the third floor was.

At this moment, the man in black, the beautiful woman, and the heavily injured Master Void also arrived at the second floor.

The seriously injured Master Void was no longer as arrogant as he was in the first floor. He moved forward slowly, and this gave Wang Lin time in the palace in the second floor. There were no statues here, only nine stone candlesticks. Wang Lin calmed his anxious heart, and after carefully observing for a long time, he frowned.

However, his gaze suddenly landed on the candlesticks on the table, and he noticed faint traces of movement. There were deep and shallow traces, so they were moved more than once. It was obviously made to confuse people.

His eyes lit up, and he squatted down and carefully observed them. His eyes gradually lit up. He felt a sliver of sword energy from these candles.

This sword energy was very ordinary, so even if others felt it, they would think it was just residue from someone trying to break the candlesticks by force. However. to Wang Lin. the meaning was significant.

“Senior Zhou Yi’s sword energy… If he left the sword energy here, that means he is already at the third floor, so why did he leave it here… Could it be…” Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed. He had recovered some origin energy on the way here. Now he waved his hand and the nine candlesticks immediately lit up.

The moment the candles lit up, the light from the flames surrounded Wang Lin, and he disappeared to the third floor.

Moving the candlesticks was only to confuse others. Even the trace of being moved was just to distract people from the fact that the candlesticks needed to be lit.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Lin had spent two months in the Celestial Emperor Cave. In these two months, he only had a short period of time to heal. The rest of the time was spent traveling through each floor.

The deeper he went, the stronger the restrictions became. Even with Wang Lin’s restriction knowledge and the map’s instructions, it took some time to get past them.

What wasted the most time were the palaces at the center of each floor. They were like balls of mysteries that required a lot of effort to find the entrance to the next floor.

If that was it, it wouldn’t be such a big deal, but after the fourth floor, the map showed many storage spaces as well. Wang Lin was naturally unwilling to let them go, so he checked them out. Most of them had already been opened by others, but there were still a few places not found. Wang Lin moved everything he had found into his bag. Just thinking about his harvest in these two months made Wang Lin excited.

Even he was shocked greatly by the stuff inside the storage spaces. When it came to things such as celestial jades, Wang Lin had enough to supply a sect for 1,000 years.

There were many other things as well. From Wang Lin’s point of view, these storage spaces were storage points set up by Celestial Emperor Qing Lin. There was obviously a purpose for all of them.

Wang Lin didn’t know what purpose Qing Lin had, but the things were now his, which made Wang Lin excited for a few days. What was even more exciting was that according to the jade, there were two transfer arrays to storage spaces on the sixth floor.

One of them contained a lot of celestial pills and elixirs from before the Celestial Realm collapsed. At this moment, those pills and elixirs were more important than any treasure.

During these two months, Wang Lin still hadn’t recovered his full strength. His physical injuries were no longer an issue due to his strong recovery from his ancient god body. The problem was his loss of origin energy and how his origin soul had weakened from using the iron sword. If he had no pills, it would be difficult to recover in a short period of time. Wang Lin was almost out of pills, and adding on the dangers that were everywhere, Wang Lin absolutely had to obtain that storage space full of pills.

On this day, there was a flash of light at the edge of the sixth floor. Wang Lin walked out from the light. The place he appeared in was surrounded by pavilions, as if it was its own little garden. There were mountains sounding area and a river flowing not far away. The sound of the flowing river echoed and was very soothing.

“This is the sixth floor!” Wang Lin took a deep breath and looked around. After quickly matching his location with the map, he immediately knew his current location.

Wang Lin’s eyes was filled with determination as he charged toward the right.

“I must obtain those pills!” Wang Lin moved very quickly through those restrictions, but soon he stopped and looked straight ahead.

“There is someone here!” Wang Lin had noticed a lot of traces of people as he moved through the second to fifth floors, but he had never encountered anyone. This was the first time he detected someone!

“It mustn’t have been easy for Little Brother to make it here!” A slightly surprised sound came from ahead.

Chapter 1051 – Zhou Yi Reappears

Two people walked out from the fake mountain before Wang Lin. It was a man and a woman. The man had the air of a celestial, and he was very handsome and he smiled at Wang Lin.

Behind him, the woman had a soft gaze, but there was also a hint of surprise. She apparently didn’t expect Wang Lin to be able to arrive here.

Seeing it was the Celestial Cloud Cultivation Couple, Wang Lin’s expression was calm, but his heart was on guard. His cultivation hadn’t recovered, and he was at his weakest state inside the Celestial Emperor Cave. Any carelessness might get him killed.

After he calmly took a step back next to a restriction, Wang Lin clasped his hands and said, “Greetings, Seniors Celestial Cloud.” As he spoke, he looked behind them and didn’t see Zhou Yi, causing his heart to sink.

“Little Brother’s knowledge of restrictions is really mysterious. It seems that I have really underestimated you.” Wang Wei laughed. He didn’t know much about Wang Lin, and Zhou Yi had never said anything about Wang Lin. From Wang Wei’s point of view, for Wang Lin to be able to break through the restrictions to get here, then Wang Lin’s restrictions ability had to already be at a peak.

As for Wang Lin’s injuries, Wang Wei naturally saw through them.

The Celestial Cloud Cultivation Couple was very strange to Wang Lin. When the Celestial Emperor Cave opened, everyone should have been sucked into the bottle world. However, even after the bottle world collapsed, they didn’t appear, yet someone they appeared here.

Wang Lin was unwilling to speak too much with these two, and with Zhou Yi not here, he had his own speculations. In addition, he was injured, so he retreated and said, “If you two seniors have nothing else, then Junior will take his leave.”

With that, Wang Lin immediately retreated. He was about to go around from the side to where the pills were stored.

The smile on Wang Wei’s smile remained and he only slightly shook his head. It wasn’t until Wang Lin disappeared into the restrictions that he said, “This little guy is very interesting.”

His cultivation couple, Hu Juan, also smiled. “This Wang Lin is very cautious. Originally, I wanted to talk to him more, but he was scared away by you.”

Wang Wei laughed. “He was not scared away by me, he just has another place to go. See how he smoothly stepped into that restriction without activating it? Either he has a very good understanding of the restrictions here, or his restriction ability has once again exceeded my expectations.”

Hu Juan looked at where Wang Lin disappeared to before she frowned slightly and softly said, “With his age, I’d rather believe he understands this place very well…”

Wang Wei smiled at Hu Juan and laughed. “Do you feel unjust that he is able to step through the restrictions here so easily? But I agree, he seems to understand his place very well, and that just make this more interesting.”

“What unjust? Ah, you are still teasing me at this age.” Ju Huan smiled. Her eyes were like the crescent moon, very beautiful.

Wang Wei also smiled, and his expression was filled with wisdom as he said, “Before, we guessed that the sword spirit had a companion. If I’m not wrong, that sword spirit’s companion should be him!”

Hu Juan was startled. After thinking carefully, she smiled. “If you say so, then it is. If that is really the case, then he isn’t an enemy.”

“Looking from where he came from, if he really understands this place well, he should be going to where the Celestial Emperor stores his pills. We’ll go have a look. The sword spirit must be there as well. Those two must have some secrets between them!” Wang Wei smiled and walked forward.

Hu Juan looked at Wang Wei, and her eyes filled with tenderness. Hu Juan strongly believed in all of Wang Wei’s calculations. She picked up her steps and walked next to Wang Wei.

As Wang Lin retreated, he went through restriction after restriction. The restrictions on the sixth floor were far more complex, so Wang Lin’s speed was affected. He could instantly pass some restrictions, but others required him to carefully calculate it before taking a step.

After using seven days of time, Wang Lin circled around this area and closed in on the pill storage location.

According to the map, this was an alchemy room, and inside it was a transfer array to where the pills were stored. Looking at the alchemy room from far away, Wang Lin walked toward it.

As he walked, his divine sense was spread out, but not too far, and he observed the surrounding restrictions. Based on the fluctuations of the surrounding restrictions, he would know if anyone was closing in.

This alchemy room wasn’t large, and there was a garden next to it, but it was filled with withered plants. As Wang Lin closed in and was just about to enter the garden, he stopped. Wang Lin stared at the alchemy room and vaguely felt that the restrictions here was a bit different from what was on the map.

Along the way here, the map was very accurate for the first five floors, and the restrictions were only different in this spot. The only explanation was that someone had messed with the restrictions here.

His expression became gloomy. Wang Lin looked around and his eyes lit up as he observed the restrictions. After a long time, he vaguely saw some clues, but those clues made him frown even harder.

From what he could see, some restrictions had been added on top and caused the slight change. However, the restrictions added on later unexpectedly fused perfectly with the restrictions that were already there.

Restrictions were very changing, and everyone casted restrictions differently. Due to their personality, experience, understanding of restrictions, and cultivation level, even if the same restriction was casted by 100 people, they would be completely different to people who understood them, even though they looked the same on the surface.

As a result, this restriction that was changed was unimaginable and clearly subverted his understanding of restrictions.

“It unexpectedly fused so perfectly. From my understanding of restrictions and the Annihilation restriction inheritance, it is impossible for the fusion to be so perfect when placing a restriction that forcibly changes another restriction… Even if it is possible, it has to be someone whose restriction ability has already reached a peak and is able to change some beginner’s restriction. However, this is the sixth floor of the Celestial Emperor Cave, a place with restrictions that are rarely seen, so how could it have been changed so perfectly by someone?

“If there really is such a person, then all the restrictions inside this cave would be child’s play for them and they could easily move through all nine floors…” Wang Lin gasped and was shocked by this idea. He was unwilling to believe it, and he carefully examined it once more. The fusion of restrictions here was something that couldn’t even be described with the word “perfect” anymore.

This was like the same person had perfected their own restriction at a later time.

“Could it be…” A thought flash through Wang Lin’s mind and his eyes widened.

“Could it be that the person who placed all the restrictions in the Celestial Emperor Cave and the person who changed the restrictions here was the same person?” Wang Lin gasped. This answer would explain everything, but it was simply too inconceivable.

Wang Lin stared at the restrictions and vaguely felt like if his guess was correct, then he had found a big net. He just didn’t know who had placed the net.

The first thought that appeared in Wang Lin’s mind was the Celestial Cloud Cultivation Couple!

After pondering a bit, Wang Lin was unwilling to just give it up like this, as the pills were too important to him. Wang Lin stared at the restriction and began his own deductions.

The restrictions here were extremely complex and were obviously here to prevent others from entering. Wang Lin simply sat down, and flashes of restrictions appeared in his eyes. He slapped his bag of holding and a compass appeared in his hand.

He sat there for three days. After three days, Wang Lin’s eyes slowly became bloodshot. The countless changes of the restrictions flashed through his head as he searched for the correct way to break it.

On the fourth day, Wang Lin raised his head. He stood up and arrived before the alchemy room. He then walked three steps forward without any hesitation.

Wang Lin revealed hesitation on the fifth step. According to his calculations, the fifth step was the most difficult to find the correct answer to. It seemed like no matter where he stepped, it was wrong.

“The fifth step…” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up, and after a long time, he smiled.

“There is no fifth step!” When he stepped out, his fifth step landed in the void and he jumped, landing on the ground ahead. As a result, that was the sixth step.

After landing, Wang Lin immediately observed his surroundings to make sure he triggered no restrictions and let out a sigh. Then he quickly moved through these restrictions and appeared outside the alchemy room.

Just as he was about to enter, his expression changed and he suddenly retreated. Just as he retreated, the door opened and a ray of sword energy shot out. The sword energy closed in, but after seeing Wang Lin, a surprised sound came from the sword energy.

Shortly after, the sword energy scattered, revealing a white figure. It was Zhou Yi!

Wang Lin stopped retreating after clearly seeing Zhou Yi and placed down his seal. He didn’t speak; he looked at the alchemy room first. The inside and outside were like two different worlds that divine sense couldn’t penetrate. That would explain why Zhou Yi didn’t know Wang Lin had come and Wang Lin hadn’t detected Zhou Yi.

“I knew you would be able to arrive here.” Looking at Wang Lin, Zhou Yi revealed melancholy and a smile. There was also a hint of reminiscence.

In Wang Lin’s eyes, Zhou Yi had changed a lot. What surprised him was an aura that was very similar to that of a Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure coming from Zhou Yi.

Chapter 1052 – The Identity of the Celestial Cloud Cultivation Couple

“Wang Lin greets Senior. How could I dare forget the promise I made before? No matter how dangerous this place is, I’ll bring Qing Shuang’s body here!” Seeing Zhou Yi made Wang Lin emotional. Zhou Yi was one of the few benefactors he had, and no matter what cultivation level Wang Lin reaches, he will always be respectful to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi revealed a melancholy expression as he looked at Wang Lin, and he shook his head. “There is no need to call me ‘Senior’ when it’s just us. If you don’t mind, you can just call me ‘Big Brother Zhou.’” Zhou Yi’s eyes suddenly narrowed and he carefully looked at Wang Lin.

“Who injured you so seriously?! Your origin soul is dim, and due to recovering too slowly, it’s leading to more hidden dangers in the future!” There was a chill in Zhou Yi’s expression.

Wang Lin wryly smiled and simply explained the matter to Zhou Yi. He didn’t mention the source origin and only talked about the Vermillion Bird awakening. It wasn’t that Wang Lin didn’t trust Zhou Yi, but the matter regarding source origin was simply too important.

“Master void!” Cold light flashed in Zhou Yi’s eyes, and there was a hint of guilt in his gaze toward Wang Lin.

“If it wasn’t for bringing me Qing Shuang, he wouldn’t have been in such a danger… Master Void, I’ll remember that person!” Zhou Yi nodded and didn’t ask more, but he engraved Master Void into his heart. Hurting Wang Lin, who had come to bring him Qing Shuang, was touching his bottom line. If there was a chance, given Zhou Yi’s personality, he would make Master Void pay a terrible price.

“You must have come for the pills here, although most of the pills have already been taken by the Celestial Cloud Cultivation Couple. The only ones remaining are those that are useful to spirit bodies. They didn’t take them because their storage method is very complex.” As Zhou Yi spoke, he suddenly changed topic and said, “But don’t worry, I’ll find way to get you those pills!”

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he turned into a ray of sword energy and charged out of the restrictions of the alchemy room. He appeared in the air and clasped his hands. “Seniors Celestial Cloud Couple, this person is my old friend. Please gift me some pills!”

A chuckle came from the distance. There was a flash from the nearby purple forest and Wang Wei and Hu Juan walked out. The two of them walked slowly, but strangely, it only took them three steps to reach the alchemy room.

Wang Wei waved his hand, causing the restrictions outside the alchemy room to disappear as if they never existed. This made Wang Lin’s pupils violently shrink.

“I had already guessed that Little Brother Wang had some relation with this sword spirit. It seems I guessed correctly,” Wang Wei joked as his right hand reached out and a crack immediately appeared before him. Six purple jade bottles flew out into his palm.

“These six bottles of rank 5 Celestial Gathering pills might be useful to you.” With that, Wang Wei waved his right hand and the six bottles of pills flew toward Wang Lin.

Dense celestial spiritual energy came from the six purple jade bottles, and the smell inside them was extremely refreshing. Wang Lin held the six bottles and scanned them with his divine sense. He didn’t immediately consume them, but put them away inside his bag.

Hu Juan carefully looked at Wang Lin and suddenly said, “You are the inheritor of the Annihilation Restriction?”

Wang Lin was calm as he looked at Hu Juan and calmly said, “I’m not the inheritor, I just know some of it.”

When Zhou Yi saw Wang Wei only give six bottles of Celestial Gathering pills to Wang Lin, he couldn’t help but frown. After pondering a bit, he looked at Wang Wei and said, “Senior Wang Wei, not only is this person my old friend, but he is also my benefactor. There was something I didn’t say before, but I was sealed here and he saved me. If not for him, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Senior.”

Wang Wei meaningfully looked at Zhou Yi before his right hand reached toward the crack once more. This time, five five-colored jade bottles flew out. He threw them at Wang Lin.

“These pills are known as the Heaven Avoidance pills. They are rank 4 celestial pills, and taking them will greatly reduce your injuries.”

Wang Lin took the bottles and scanned them with his divine sense. The celestial spiritual energy inside these bottles was monstrous, far more than the six bottle of Celestial Gathering pills he got earlier.

Zhou Yi frowned once more, apparently still somewhat dissatisfied, and no longer clasped his hands. “Since Senior knows about the Rain Celestial Sword Spirit, then I presume you also know about Rain Celestial Lord Qing Shuang!”

Wang Wei’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He didn’t ask but took out three more bottles from the crack. He didn’t introduce them and directly threw them at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin caught them, and after he scanned them, his expression changed. The celestial spiritual energy inside these three bottles was even stronger than the five-colored bottles. These were obviously better.

“Junior once became infatuated with a female corpse in the Rain Celestial Realm. I built a celestial jade pagoda to store the corpse to prevent it from rotting and to allow it to exist forever…” Zhou Yi’s eyes were filled with nostalgia as he recalled the past.

“… Later I found out that she wasn’t Ting Er, but Celestial Lord Qing Shuang!”

Wang Wei’s expression changed. He had worried that he would destroy the spirit if he used soul search, so he had held back asking. However, now that he heard the story, a wave was set off in his heart.

Hu Juan revealed a trace of excitement in her eyes. The two of them looked at each other before Wang Wei reached at the crack once more. This time, dozens of colored bottles flew toward Wang Lin.

Staring at Zhou Yi, Wang Wei said, “Continue with your story.”

Wang Lin’s expression became strange. He finally understood what Zhou Yi meant when he said he would find a way to get the pills.

“The last time I took Ting Er to the Rain Celestial Realm was when I met Wang Lin…” The reminiscence in Zhou Yi’s eyes became even stronger. He seemed completely immersed in the beautiful and memorable memories, and his face revealed a melancholy smile.

As he spoke, everything that happened in the Rain Celestial Realm was brought up. As Wang Lin listened, he was also reminded of what happened.

Wang Wei and Hu Juan were brought back to these realistic memories. When they heard someone wanted to steal Qing Shuang, a trace of killing intent appeared on Hu Juan’s gentle expression and Wang Wei’s eyes turned cold, releasing a powerful pressure.

Zhou Yi muttered, “I was willing to burn everything for her. I have no regrets…” Even now, Zhou Yi didn’t regret what he had done.

After hearing that Zhou Yi had burned his soul to reach the Ascendent stage and regain his sanity in order to protect Qing Shuang’s body but still didn’t regret it, there was a hint of compassion in Hu Juan’s gaze toward Zhou Yi.

“What a terrible fate!” Wang Wei let out a sigh. With his cultivation level and experience, he could naturally tell if what Zhou Yi said was the truth or a lie.

A remnant soul had formed inside Qing Shuang due to his thousands of years of obsession, and she awakened. She revived Zhou Yi, who was on the verge of death, and made him the new Rain Celestial Sword Spirit. After hearing the story from Zhou Yi’s mouth, Wang Wei and Hu Juan silently pondered.

After a long time, Wang Wei let out a sigh and clasped his hands at Zhou Yi. “I’ll remember Brother Zhou’s kindness to Qing Shuang. If I’ve done anything to offend Brother Zhou, please don’t take offense.”

Hu Juan’s expression was filled with pain as she looked at Zhou Yi and said, “We will not forget Brother Zhou’s grace.”

The two of them could easily see if it was the truth or a lie. Adding to what they had speculated before, how could they not believe Zhou Yi’s words? Also, Zhou Yi’s identity as the Rain Celestial Sword explained everything.

“I presume that Little Brother Wang Lin is here to bring Qing Shuang’s body.” Wang Wei looked at Wang Lin and couldn’t help but reveal a look of admiration. Thinking back, he didn’t pay much attention to Wang Lin, but he didn’t expect Wang Lin to be such a righteous person.

At this moment, it seemed the matter had been cleared up, but Wang Lin didn’t immediately take out Qing Shuang’s body. Instead, he retreated a few steps, looked at Wang Wei and Hu Juan, and said, “What exactly are Seniors’ identities?”

Wang Wei admired Wang Lin even more for his caution. The amount of caution Wang Lin showed meant that he truly cared about his promise to Zhou Yi.

“Forget it. I haven’t told anyone my identity to anyone for a long time. Since you and Zhou Yi have helped us and also Celestial Emperor Qing Lin greatly, I can’t keep it a secret from you two.” Wang Wei let out a sigh as he looked toward the center of the sixth floor. There was a hint of melancholy on his face.

“I’m the number one guard under Celestial Emperor Qing Lin and at the same time… I was also his second disciple…” As Wang Wei spoke of his identity, an indescribable aura spread out from his body. This aura contained a heaven-shaking arrogance.

In an instant, Wang Lin could feel Wang Wei’s fame in the Celestial Realm!

Hu Juan softly said, “I’m Teacher’s seventh disciple, and I grew up together with Little Sister Qing Shuang.”

“When the Celestial Realm collapsed due to the calamity, we were lucky and happened to be outside, thus avoiding the calamity. After learning that Teacher hadn’t died but was seriously injured and had gone into hiding, we searched countless caves over the years. Finally, we were able to determine that Teacher was in the Celestial Spirit Heaven Realm.”

Wang Lin’s mind was startled, and he began to silently ponder.

Hu Juan looked at Wang Lin and waved her hand at the restriction to the right. The restriction immediately changed and became even stronger than before.

“You should have seen the difference in the restrictions around the alchemy room. With your restriction cultivation, you should have had a guess… After the celestial cave was opened by Teacher, all of the buildings and restrictions here were set up by me at Teacher’s command. Only I can add perfectly onto the restrictions here.” Hu Juan’s voice wasn’t loud, but when it landed in Wang Lin’s ears, it was like roaring thunder.

Wang Lin gasped and wryly smiled. “So it really was you. I thought it was Senior Wang Wei.”

Wang Wei shook his head and laughed. “My restriction cultivation is weaker than hers, or else I wouldn’t have lost the bet regarding your restriction back then.”

Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and was about to take the celestial pagoda out. However, at this moment, Wang Lin’s expression changed and he suddenly looked into the distance.

A sharp laugh echoed across the sixth floor at this moment.

Chapter 1053 – Master Void’s Cold Sweat

The moment the sharp laugh was heard, Wang Lin saw a bald person that seemed to be walking in the void and quickly came here.

“Bei Lou!” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up.

“What a good disciple of Qing Lin to actually trap this demon inside a restriction!” Bei Lou took a few steps and noticed Wang Lin. He revealed a look of surprise.

“You were able to get here!” Bei Lou’s eyes revealed a strange glow.

There was a flash of coldness in Wang Wei’s eyes. He let out a cold snort and took a step forward. His right hand formed a seal and curtain of rain immediately appeared and shot toward Bei Lou.

Hu Juan stepped into the restriction on the side and bit the tip of her right finger. Then she quickly drew a strange rune in the air. After the rune appeared, it gave off waves of ghostly light.

Just at this moment, all the restrictions in the sixth floor of the Celestial Emperor Cave seemed to become alive and unexpectedly lit up at the same time, as if they were all triggered at once. They came from all directions and flew directly at Ancient Demon Bei Lou.

The sky was filled with restrictions, and as Hu Juan pointed, all of these restrictions gathered.

Ancient Demon Bei Lou pressed his hands to the side, causing a powerful surge of demonic energy to appear, and formed a vortex of demonic energy.

“This demon doesn’t want to fight with you two. The two of you want to save Qing Lin, and I’m after that ancient devil, Ta Jia. Although our goals are different, we can still work together. I fear just you two aren’t strong enough to open the seal Ta Jia placed. With me, the chances of breaking it will be greater!” Bei Lou was inside the vortex, and the demonic energy swirled around him. His voice was distorted by the vortex, and when it landed in one’s ears, it would make them tremble.

Wang Lin was already injured, so his face immediately turned pale. He took out several pills and threw it into his mouth. He had no time to digest them before he cycled the origin energy inside his body.

“How is my proposal? If we continue to fight, you won’t be able to save the Celestial Emperor and I won’t be able to kill Ta Jia. In the end, we will only make it easier for him!” Bei Lou’s voice was filled with demonic intent. The reason Bei Lou was saying this was because he really dreaded Wang Wei and Hu Juan when they worked together, and Hu Juan controlled all the restrictions here. When Bei Lou left the Celestial Burial Pool, he had already encountered them on the fourth floor.

They went through a very vicious battle, but in the end, neither side could kill the other. However, because of Hu Juan, Bei Lou was trapped for several months.

He came here not to continue fighting, but to work together.

Hu Juan’s eyes lit up and she looked at Wang Wei. As Wang Wei stared at Bei Lou, the coldness in his eyes slowly disappeared. He waved his hand, causing the water curtain to disappear before he calmly said, “OK!”

Bei Lou relaxed a bit in his heart and landed on the ground, but kept within certain distance from the couple. His gaze fell on Wang Lin and he laughed. “Little Brother Wang, your cultivation level has unexpectedly improved again. However, if you don’t heal that injury soon, it will affect your cultivation in the future. Forget it, this demon was only able to come here because of you. I don’t think anyone else would have let me in.

“Although I have medicine to help you, your injuries must’ve been caused by someone. Tell me his name and I’ll kill him for you to repay your grace.”

Wang Lin’s expression was cold. With his intelligence, how could he not see the provocation and temptation in Bei Lou’s words? Bei Lou was obviously very surprised Wang Lin was able to get there and didn’t know what his relationship with the Celestial Cloud Couple was. Wang Lin revealed a faint smile as he clasped his hands and said, “Many thanks, Lord Ancient Demon. If the person who hurt me appears, I’ll tell you. Please don’t back out on your promise then!”

Bei Lou’s eyes lit up and he laughed. He didn’t mention this again.

It was naturally inconvenient to take out Qing Shuang’s body now. Wang Wei took out a pill wrapped in green wax. There was a trace of reminiscence in his eyes as he handed it to Wang Lin.

“This is a green pill Teacher gave me. Whether you cultivate celestial spiritual energy or origin energy, as long as it is an energy of this world, all injuries can be instantly healed after taking this pill. I don’t have much of this pill left. You may choose to take it now or save it for later.” As Wang Wei spoke, he coldly looked at Bei Lou. It wasn’t merely that he didn’t have much left, he only had three total. One was with Hu Juan and two with him.

The moment Bei Lou saw the green wax, greed filled his eyes as he was far too familiar with it. When he and Ancient Devil Ta Jia sneak attacked Qing Lin, even with Qing Lin’s severe injuries, the pill still had some affect.

It allowed Qing Lin to put up a lot of resistance and was ultimately why the ancient demon had failed.

“Gifting this pill means they share a very close relationship with Wang Lin. This also means they still have some more left… Although I don’t know if this is true, if a real fight starts, it will be troublesome.” Bei Lou’s gaze withdrew from the pill.

Holding the pill, Wang Lin didn’t immediately take it but put it in his bag. They moved toward the dark fog at the center of the sixth floor under Hu Juan’s guidance.

Zhou Yi still floated beside Wang Lin. Wang Lin was very weak and needed someone to guard him, so Zhou Yi would naturally not leave.

Soon, the dark fog appeared before them. Bei Lou looked at the black fog with hatred in his eyes. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had failed, then Ancient Devil Ta Jai couldn’t have seized that opportunity.

“However, this isn’t a bad thing. How could Qing Lin be that easy to deal with? Ta Jia mustn’t have succeeded, or he would have long left this place.”

After stepping into the palace, Wang Lin immediately saw a stone tablet on the ground. This tablet was around 20 feet tall, and the only thing on it was a hand print.

Wang Wei looked at Bei Lou and said, “The last three floors are Teacher’s private chambers. I don’t know if there are any changes to those places. In order to have a better chance, we should wait for more people to arrive! Wang Lin, spend some time healing so you have the power to protect yourself.”

Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed. He still wasn’t able to see through the Celestial Cloud Couple. They weren’t anxious to enter and actually wanted to wait for others to arrive.

There was also Ancient Demon Bei Lou. He didn’t question it at all, as if he had the same idea.

“Don’t think so much and focus on healing. I have already seen that those two are strange, but they won’t harm us.” Zhou Yi was beside Wang Lin, and he sent Wang Lin a message through a special method only sword spirits could use.

Wang Lin lowered his head and his eyes lit up. He sat down but didn’t take out the green pill. Instead, he took out the other pills and devoured them one by one after checking them out. He then closed his eyes and focused on healing.

Although he was healing, he didn’t seal his divine sense. Although it would affect his healing speed, he had to stay vigilant here.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, seven days went by. During this time, Wang Wei and Hu Juan were sitting down as if they were cultivating. Ancient Demon Bei Lou was the same.

Wang Lin let out a mouthful of foul air. His injuries had recovered slightly, but the hidden dangers were still there. Luckily, there were enough pills to fully recover. Wang Lin took out more pills and devoured them after checking them out.

However, his divine sense was still spread out and locked onto the entrance. He was waiting, waiting for Master Void to arrive. He believe that Master Void’s group of three would be the first group to arrive.

Time seemed to last forever in the hall, and it was easy for people to forget the passage of time. Wang Lin’s injuries slowly recovered due to the large amount of pills. Today was the 27th day since everyone started waiting in the hall.

It was about noon when Wang Wei and Hu Juan both opened their eyes and looked at the door. Ancient Demon Bei Lou was one step faster than them in looking at the door.

Fluctuations came from Wang Lin’s divine sense. When his eyes opened, they revealed a mysterious light as he looked at the door.

A person slowly walked into the hall. This person was a woman surrounded by snowflakes. The snowflakes danced around her and looked extremely gorgeous.

“It’s her!” Wang Lin withdrew his gaze. The first person to arrive wasn’t Master Void’s group of three, but the girl in pink who was suspected of being the Brilliant Void Saintess.

Her expression was calm. Her beautiful eyes swept across the hall and especially looked at Wang Lin. She didn’t speak but found a corner and sat down.

Less than seven minutes after the girl sat down, Wang Lin felt fluctuations outside the hall once more. He looked up and saw three figures entering the hall!

Master Void, the beautiful woman, and the man in black.

The moment the three of them entered the hall, they attracted everyone’s attention. Master Void immediately noticed Wang Lin, and a monstrous killing intent flashed through his eyes.

The moment he saw Wang Lin was also when Wang Lin saw him. Wang Lin’s eyes turned cold and he calmly said, “Lord Ancient Demon, he is the person who injured me!”

The moment Wang Lin spoke, Wang Wei and Hu Juan all turned to stare at Master Void. Even Ancient Demon Bei Lou looked at Master Void with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

Killing intent flashed across Zhou Yi’s eyes as he floated forward, approaching Master Void.

The sudden scene caused Master Void to suck in a breath of cold air, cold sweat covered his forehead, and his heart pounded even faster. He didn’t know what Wang Lin had done in these short few months to make these people help him!

The Celestial Cloud Couple and the strange bald man made him feel like he would have to be cautious even during his peak. However, right now he was seriously injured and half of his origin soul was missing. His cultivation level had fallen from peak Nirvana Shatterer to mid stage Nirvana Shatterer.

He didn’t dare to move at all or retreat. He was locked on to by everyone inside the hall. It was likely any movement from him would make everyone else here attack him.

“I’m the Cultivation Alliance’s elder, Master Void. Junior brother of head elder Master Zhong Xuan. What is the meaning of this?” Master Void forced himself to calm down and even brought out the Cultivation Alliance.

Chapter 1054 – Forcing Master Void

“Cultivation Alliance…” Wang Wei coldly looked at Master Void and shook his head. “What a high status.”

Hu Juan smiled and casually looked at Master Void. She and her husband had never considered the Cultivation Alliance much. It wasn’t that Master Zhong Xuan or the Alliance were weak, but they had their own pride in their status. Especially Wang Wei, whose pride was known by everyone in the Celestial Realm back then.

However, after countless years of change, Wang Wei’s personality had been suppressed and wasn’t so easily revealed. However, the pride in his bones wasn’t something time could erase.

Wang Wei and Hu Juan were disciples of the strongest person in the Celestial Realm, Celestial Emperor Qing Lin. They were famous when the Celestial Realm was still around and the Cultivation Alliance didn’t even exist. They were still just a bunch of lower realm Qi Cultivators back then.

Even Ancient Demon Bei Lou grinned, and his eyes filled with mockery. As an ancient demon, he naturally held disdain for this Cultivation Alliance that was a new organization. He was already famous in the outside realm when the sealed realm still belonged to the Celestial Realm.

In addition, although he had been trapped in the Demon Spirit Land for all these years, he had learned a lot about the Cultivation Alliance through the cultivators that came here. In fact, he knew a lot more details than most people.

“Your senior brother, Master Zhong Xuan, was already a famous person before the Celestial Realm collapsed and was considered one of the strongest Qi Cultivators. When the Celestial Realm collapsed, he was among the first people, along with the Four Divine Sect’s Azure Dragon Divine Emperor, that risked their lives to rob the Celestial Realm.

“In the end, he used some unknown method to obtain most of the inheritances of the Rain Celestial Realm, and only then was the Cultivation Alliance established! I, Bei Lou, actually admire such a person, but you…” Bei Lou shook his head, and his eyes filled with mockery.

Master Void’s expression was gloomy. Their gazes made him very angry, but he suppressed that anger. He pointed at Wang Lin and said, “I have a personal vendetta with this junior. Since you fellow cultivators came forward, I’ll hold off on this matter. I promise to not find any trouble with this junior while we are in this cave. I presume you fellow cultivators are here to work together to enter the next floor. Why ruin the mood? If it impacts our chances at the next floor, it’s not worth it.”

Hundreds of thoughts flashed through Master Void’s mind as he spoke. His words were very clever. First, he pretended to be weak and did not cause any trouble for Wang Lin. Then pointed out that it was not good for the overall situation for them to start fighting now.

To force someone with his cultivation level and status to say something like this was the most humiliating thing one could experience. All his anger was focused on Wang Lin, and although his killing intent was hidden, it was even stronger than before.

The man in black next to Master Void walked out and sat down. It was obvious he was showing he wasn’t going to participate in this matter. Only the beautiful woman stood next to Master Void with a pale expression.

Wang Wei’s cold gaze withdrew from Master Void. Although killing this Master Void wouldn’t be difficult, it would still be troublesome as this person was still a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator. Although he was seriously injured, as Master Zhong Xuan’s junior brother, he should still possess some spells and treasures. Right now, saving his teacher was Wang Wei’s priority. There was no need to rush killing this person to get revenge for Wang Lin.

Seeing that this matter was going to calmly pass, Master Void relaxed in his heart. However, just at this moment, Wang Lin stood up. Master Void’s pupils suddenly shrank as he stared at Wang Lin.

The moment he looked at Wang Lin, Zhou Yi immediately released a powerful cold aura. He turned into a ray of sword energy and shot directly at Master Void.

The moment Zhou Yi stepped out, Wang Lin stepped out too. His hand formed a seal and flames appeared in his eyes. Fire came out from his right arm and quickly formed a Vermillion Bird before him!

This Vermillion Bird let out a cry as it charged at Master Void along with Zhou Yi.

“You’re courting death!” Killing intent appeared in Master Void’s eyes as he waved his right hand. A yellow vortex appeared out of thin air and swept forward.　

Wang Wei originally didn’t want to attack right now, but seeing Wang Lin and Zhou Yi attack, he couldn’t just do nothing. Zhou Yi couldn’t die, and Wang Lin had brought Qing Shuang here, so he couldn’t die either.

After letting out a sigh, Wang Wei pointed forward and a curtain of water appeared. It released a five-colored light and immediately charged forward. It was so fast that it immediately reached the yellow vortex Master Void had created.

Wang Wei calmly said, “Seal!”

The moment he spoke, the five-colored curtain of water turned into water vapor and spread out around the yellow vortex before it quickly contracted. There were popping sounds as the water vapor fused with the yellow vortex.

The vortex immediately seemed to stop rotating and suddenly collapsed. It turned into countless pieces of dirt that scattered in all directions.

Master Void’s schemes were completely destroyed by Wang Lin’s attack. Wang Lin’s daring and cunning shocked Master Void. Such a decisive act was something Master Void knew he couldn’t have done at Wang Lin’s age.

Even out of all the juniors he had met, there were few like Wang Lin.

The collapse of the yellow vortex allowed the Vermillion Bird formed by Wang Lin’s spell to charge through. As it rushed out, it released a monstrous flame that contained extreme heat, and it shot toward Master Void.

Unless he took out that iron sword again, Master Void wouldn’t care about Wang Lin’s attack. What he cared about was Wang Wei, Hu Juan, and Bei Lou.

Facing Wang Lin’s attack, Master Void slapped his bag and a small bag appeared. He slapped that bag and purple ashes flew out of it.

The moment these purple ashes appeared, they turned into a mire and gave off a rotten smell. The smell shot toward Wang Lin and Zhou Yi.

Bei Lou smiled and quickly stepped forward. With just one step, he appeared on the mire and mercilessly inhaled. There was a whistling sound as the mire was sucked into Bei Lou’s mouth.

Bei Lou’s eyes were filled with greed and he licked his lips. He then appeared near Master Void and his hand reached out. Master Void’s expression changed greatly, and he retreated without hesitation. His hand formed a seal and repeatedly clapped down, causing a thunderous rumble to echo across the hall.

At this moment, the Vermillion Bird formed by Wang Lin’s spell closed in and brought with it intense heat. Master Void let out a roar, then his origin soul appeared around his body and pointed at Wang Lin’s Vermillion Bird.

He used his powerful cultivation to cause the Vermillion Bird to shatter into pieces with a point of his finger. Master Void didn’t stop moving. He stepped to the side as he tried to shake off Bei Lou.

However, Bei Lou was even faster and kept chasing after Master Void. Popping sounds echoed in the hall, and after every pop, Master Void’s face would become a bit paler.

While Bei Lou chased, demonic energy erupted from his body. He only needed to raise his hand and spells would appear without any seals. There were so many different spells that it was enough to blind someone from the light. Master Void had no chance to fight back and could only retreat while passively resisting.

What gave Master Void a headache was that the collapsed Vermillion Bird had unexpectedly reformed. It gave off an even stronger flame than before and charged at Master Void.

No matter how many times Master Void destroyed the Vermillion Bird while being chased by Bei Lou, it would reform from the flames. It was as if this Vermillion Bird really had an undying soul!

Zhou Yi turned into a ray of sword light and followed closely. He wouldn’t causally go near Master Void, but the moment he found an opportunity, he would charge in.

The beautiful woman’s eyes revealed a hint of hesitation and she was about to help when Wang Lin suddenly looked at her with a cold gaze. This immediately made her think of Wang Lin’s words before he left the first floor and the terrifying power of the iron sword.

Her foot that had lifted and was forcibly stopped by her. She subconsciously avoided Wang Lin’s eyes and the idea of helping Master Void quickly extinguished.

Master Void’s face became even more pale. If this was it, it wouldn’t have been too bad, but what made Master Void anxious was that Wang Wei had unexpectedly stood up. He charged in and went on a pincer attack with Bei Lou, completely sealing in Master Void.

Seeing that Wang Wei was about to attack, Master Void became anxious and roared, “If you fellow cultivators don’t participate in this matter, I will give up on taking anything from this Celestial Emperor Cave and will help you break through the restrictions in here!”

Wang Wei’s eyes narrowed, and even Bei Lou’s eyes narrowed and his feet paused for a moment.

Just at this moment, another fluctuation came from outside the hall. Someone else had arrived. The All-Seer slowly entered with Ling Tianhou, and the old man on the gourd was behind him.

After seeing what was going on inside the hall, Ling Tianhou was startled. The All-Seer revealed a gaze that made it seem as if he had foreseen everything. He revealed a smile that was not a smile and looked at Master Void.

“All-Seer, help me!” Master Void quickly retreated. However, just at this moment, Wang Lin’s right hand formed a seal and the Vermillion Bird condensed once more. He didn’t target Master Void directly, but it suddenly collapsed into a sea of flames next to Master Void.

Just at this instant, the sword light formed by Zhou Yi released a fierce energy he had never released before along with a trace of the aura of a Pseudo Nirvana Void treasure. He charged directly at Master Void, who was inside the sea of flames!

Chapter 1055 – Mountain Crumbles

Master Void suddenly turned around, and his hand moved to form a seal to use a spell. However, at this moment, the All-Seer’s mouth moved slightly and Master Void immediately stopped. It was as if an invisible force had suddenly interrupted his spell.

Master Void’s expression changed greatly, and at this moment, Zhou Yi pierced through the flames toward Master Void. He was so fast that he landed on Master Void’s chest in an instant.

A thunder rumble echoed across the hall and he coughed out blood. He then staggered a few steps backwards. Crackling sounds came from the floor as the ground he stepped turned to powder.

The sword energy dissipated and turned back into Zhou Yi. His face was pale and his body was transparent as a large amount of spiritual energy had left his body. He looked as if he could disappear at any time. It seemed that although this attack had done damage to Master Void, Zhou Yi was also hurt in the process.

Zhou Yi retreated next to Wang Wei and Hu Juan. He sent a message to Wang Lin. “Wang Lin, my sword energy wasn’t enough to kill him, but I caused his previous injuries to erupt and made them worse!”

With that, Zhou Yi sat down and quickly began to heal himself. He unexpectedly took out pills from somewhere and devoured them. These pills were specially made for spirit bodies. They weren’t made to look like pills and instead looked like flowing spiritual energy.

Master Void’s face was deathly pale. He had already been seriously injured and had suppressed his injuries along the way so they wouldn’t worsen. However, thanks to Zhou Yi’s desperate blow, his injuries erupted once more, causing his cultivation level to fall once more. Although he wasn’t down to the early stage of Nirvana Shatterer yet, if his injuries worsened, he wouldn’t be far off. This was the first time he had felt a chill in his heart, and he retreated a few more steps. His right hand formed a seal and quickly pointed at his body, allowing him to barely stabilize. However, this action caused him to cough out more blood.

He had a ferocious expression, but he wasn’t looking at Wang Lin or Zhou Yi. Instead, he was locked onto the All-Seer.

The All-Seer’s expression remained neutral as Master Void’s gaze made him feel no discomfort, and he calmly said, “Fellow Cultivator Master Void, I would only dare to help you if you were brought down to such a state.” With that, the All-Seer looked at Wang Wei and Hu Juan and smiled. “I hope the Celestial Cloud Couple will give this old man face. How about we forget all personal grievances today and focus on getting to the next floor?”

Ling Tianhou’s expression became gloomy. How could he not see that the All-Seer had secretly made a move? He silently moved next to Master Void and coldly looked at Wang Lin and company.

There was also that old man on the gourd who had an indifferent expression as he looked at everyone. However, where he stood clearly showed that he would stand on the All-Seer and Master Void’s side.

At the same time, the girl who was suspected to be the Brilliant Void Saintess stood up and went to Master Void. Her beautiful gaze swept by before landing on Wang Lin, and she softly said, “Fellow Cultivator Wang, let’s stop this matter today. Once you leave here, my Brilliant Void Realm won’t participate in this matter.”

Aside from the man in black, everyone else had clearly picked a side. Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he clasped his hands at Wang Wei. “Junior was reckless. I’ll let Senior decide this matter.”

Although Wang Wei was not happy about Wang Lin attacking earlier, he nodded when he saw that Wang Lin knew when to stop. His gaze landed on the All-Seer and company and he calmly said, “Good. Let’s put aside all personal grievances for now! The last three floors are filled with dangers, so please, fellow cultivators, don’t hold back. After we transfer to the seventh floor, meet at the center.”

After Wang Wei finished speaking, the All-Seer and company smiled and nodded. Hu Juan stood up and walked next to the stone tablet. She placed her jade-like hand on the tablet and gently pressed. Purple light came from the tablet and rumbling sounds came from it as if it was shaking.

In an instant, a large amount of cracks appeared on the ground and suddenly collapsed, revealing a starry sky. Everyone fell in and disappeared.

As for Zhou Yi, Wang Wei brought him toward the starry sky-like transfer array.

The seventh floor of the Celestial Emperor Cave was very different from the first six floors. There were no pavilions, and it was covered in a sea of flames, as if it was its own world!

In this not-so-big space, there was an erupting volcano in the center, and it was surrounded by a large amount of black fog. Rumbling sounds came from the volcano and fire occasionally rained down from the sky.

The ground seemed to be divided by cracks into countless pieces that floated on the magma. Black gas came out from the cracks and gave off intense heat.

Everyone was scattered when they were teleported here. When Wang Lin landed, he immediately looked around and frowned.

“Wrong!”

Everything here was completely different from the seventh floor on the map; there was no resemblance at all. Wang Lin’s expression was gloomy as he looked ahead and saw Hu Juan about 1,000 feet away. Hu Juan looked around, and there was also confusion in her eyes.

When Wang Lin looked at her, Hu Juan also looked at Wang Lin. She had long suspected that Wang Lin had had some fortunate encounter and had become very familiar with this cave. Now that she saw Wang Lin’s gaze, she let out a wry smile and shook her head.

Wang Lin withdrew his gaze. It seemed Hu Juan’s expression wasn’t fake and she was also confused about the changes here.

“The place is completely flat with only the volcano. The entrance to the eighth floor must be in the volcano!” Hu Juan’s voice spread out and landed in everyone’s ears.

Master Void was in the distance with a pale face. Even with the fiery light, his face didn’t look red at all. His right hand was over his chest and bursts of pain came from it from time to time. There was a strange sword energy there that prevented the wound from healing.

“All-Seer, Wang Lin, and that sword spirit, I’ll remember this. If I don’t pay you all back 10 times… no 100 times, then I’ll never give up!” He gloomily looked around.

“Damn it, even the Celestial Emperor Cave is working against me. It unexpectedly has such powerful fire origin energy, I fear that it will benefit that little bastard!” Master Void roared in his heart, but then he suddenly realized something and became covered in cold sweat.

“The drop in cultivation level caused my personality to change. How can I be angered so easily!?” Master Void took a deep breath as he suppressed the anger in his heart and forced himself to calm down.

Wang Wei stepped next to Hu Juan and the two of them turned into two rays of light, heading toward the volcano. At this moment, the All-Seer and company also got up and charged at the volcano.

The beautiful woman, the old man on the gourd, and the man in black flew toward the volcano. Master Void coldly stared at Wang Lin and also flew toward the volcano.

Wang Lin casually moved forward in the air. He knew his cultivation couldn’t match that of the old monsters before him, so would naturally not lead the charge but slowly move forward.

Another person also slowed down in the distance, the suspected Brilliant Void Saintess. Her beautiful eyes fell on Wang Lin and she stopped as if she was waiting for Wang Lin.

Wang Lin’s expression was cold. When he saw the girl in pink stop, he simply went around her in an arc. He was unwilling to interact much with her and slowly closed in on the volcano.

When the girl in pink saw Wang Lin move around her, she let out a snort and no longer paid him any attention but flew toward the volcano.

Seeing the girl in pink leave, Wang Lin’s eyes revealed a strange light. Although this place was different from the map, as Wang Lin slowly moved, he saw traces of celestial jade remnants within the cracks.

It was obvious that countless years ago, this was the seventh layer of the Celestial Emperor Cave. It was just that some unimaginable thing had happened, causing this place to become a flaming ruin.

Looking at the towering volcano, Wang Lin closed his eyes and his divine sense spread out. After a long time, he opened his eyes and was even more confident in his speculation.

This volcano didn’t appear out of nowhere, it was moved here by someone. The closer he got to it the more evidence he saw that supported this idea.

Wang Lin clearly saw that the rocks around the volcano were completely different from the ground.

“I guess everyone must have also seen something strange about the volcano.” Wang Lin stood at the foot of the volcano and was in no rush to enter. His eyes lit up as he looked around until his gaze fell on the magma flowing out from the crack. The high temperature from the magma didn’t make Wang Lin feel discomfort and in fact made him feel very comfortable. Even the origin energy inside his body became more active.

“The change here benefits me!” Wang Lin’s right hand reached into the magma in the crack. He immediately felt the endless fire element inside the magma.

His right hand was inside the magma, and the heat from it made him very comfortable. His origin energy moved inside his body and formed a vortex. A suction force came from Wang Lin’s body and he used his right hand as a bridge. The fire origin energy from the magma suddenly moved and was slowly pulled into Wang Lin’s body.

“I have already learned the first three of Celestial Emperor Bai Fan’s six spells. However, according to Senior Brother Qing Shui, the latter three spells contain the true essence of Bai Fan’s power, and the first of those three is Mountain Crumbles! In the Slaughter Domain, I saw Qing Sui use it, and it was very similar to a volcanic eruption…” Wang Lin pondered while he absorbed the fire origin energy and looked at the majestic volcano.

To Wang Lin’s right, the man in black with the hidden black dragon also didn’t enter the volcano but sat down and placed his left hand inside the magma in the crack. Like Wang Lin, he was also absorbing the origin energy within the fire. He would sometimes look at Wang Lin with fear and hostility in his eyes.　

“Vermillion Bird… If I devour the Vermillion Bird, will my flame dragon awaken a second time…”

Chapter 1056

The fire element origin energy was extremely dense in the seventh floor of the Celestial Emperor Cave. In particular, the magma contained even more. As Wang Lin absorbed large amounts of fire origin energy, it entered his body and wrapped around his origin soul, nourishing his origin soul that had adapted to fire origin energy.

A very comfortable feeling emerged in Wang Lin’s mind. Although he had devoured a lot of pills on the sixth floor and his injuries had recovered a bit, they were still not completely healed. At this moment, as he absorbed fire origin energy, his injuries began to recover once more.

Although it was slow, it gave Wang Lin hope.

However, most people had already entered the inner part of the volcano, and Wang Lin let out a sigh. During the one month he spent healing, he had asked Wang Wei about the method of curing the Seventh Heaven poison.

However, back in the Celestial Realm, Wang Wei and Hu Juan rarely came into contact with poison. Although they had heard of the Seventh Heaven poison and knew a bit about it, they didn’t know the specifics. In the end, he still had to place his hope of curing Situ Nan’s poison on Celestial Emperor Qing Lin or Qing Shuang.

Knowing that he couldn’t stay on the seventh floor for too long, Wang Lin took a deep breath and the origin energy in his body moved even faster. A more powerful suction force came from his hand as he absorbed more fire origin energy before withdrawing his hand. Wang Lin the jumped up and entered through the top of the volcano.

The moment Wang Lin got up, the man in black also went up and headed to the top of the volcano from another direction.

Wang Lin had already noticed that the man in black could also absorbed fire origin energy like him. This person also had a mark between their eyebrows, which made Wang Lin vigilant.

Wang Lin didn’t move very fast and moved up like a gentle breeze. He gradually arrived at the top of the volcano. There was a huge opening at the top of the volcano, and dense, black fog slowly spread out from inside.

High temperatures filled the area. Even the rocks near the mouth of the volcano were bright red. It looked very shocking.

Floating above the red rocks at the mouth of the volcano, Wang Lin’s expression was neutral as the high temperature brought him no discomfort. Looking down, the inside of the mouth of the volcano was shrouded with a fiery glow and a phantom-like black smoke that occasionally could charge out.

Without hesitation, Wang Lin stepped out and charged at the volcano’s entrance like a meteor. Wang Lin’s divine sense spread out around him when he charged in. The black smoke coming from inside the volcano suddenly disappeared.

Waves of heat rushed at him. When the heat got near him, all the pores on his body opened up and absorbed the fire origin energy inside the heat.

Wang Lin’s eyes revealed a strange light and he sank even faster. Behind him, the man in black also descended but kept a certain distance. He didn’t want to attract Wang Lin’s killing intent for being too close.

The man in black had learned that Wang Lin wasn’t someone who was easy to deal with during his brief contact with him. Wang Lin was someone decisive and ruthless but also very cunning. Even the likes of Master Void had repeatedly been forced into terrible situations that caused his cultivation level to drop greatly.

If anyone changed positions with Wang Lin, they would find it difficult to walk among so many powerhouses. He was even able to borrow pressure from others to suppress the enemy, causing Master Void to end up in a difficult situation.

Thinking about this, the man in black felt even more dread, especially when he recalled Wang Lin’s gaze and arrogant words before leaving the first floor. The aura Wang Lin had after forcing Master Void away was something the man in black couldn’t forget.

Moreover, although he could absorb the fire origin energy here, he was still inferior to the Vermillion Bird that had control over all the fire in the world.

“I desire to devour this person… Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!” The man in black sigh to himself.

Wang Lin naturally didn’t know the man in black’s complex thoughts. He moved faster and faster as he constantly absorbed the heatwave coming at him. The deeper he went, the more intense the heat became. The surrounding rocks had countless cracks on them and were no longer red but dark red. This meant that the fire poison here was even stronger.

The walls here weren’t smooth, and they would often have rocks sticking out. Wang Lin’s body flickered and landed on one of those rocks that were sticking out. The rock was dark red, and it released bursts of black gas.

The moment Wang Lin stood on the rock, gravel fell off and sank into the volcano.

The moment he landed, Wang Lin suddenly inhaled and the powerful heatwaves below were all sucked into his mouth.

It looked like Wang Lin was devouring a sea of flames. The heat turned into flame essence as it was inhaled into Wang Lin’s body. Then he retreated a steps and his face turned red, but his eyes were extremely bright.

The origin energy in his body moved like crazy and continued to digest the fire origin energy. After seven minutes, Wang Lin looked up, let out a cold snort, and descended deeper into the volcano.

The moment Wang Lin left, the man in black landed on this rock. There was a trace of terror in his eyes.

“To devour fire origin energy like this, this person is a madman!” Fire origin energy was the most violent. The man in black knew he wouldn’t dare to devour like this; he could only absorb it as if he was guiding it.

Wang Lin moved faster and faster. Soon, he arrived at the bottom of the volcano. His gaze pierced the heatwaves and smoke below, allowing him to see everything below.

The bottom of the volcano was filled with dark red magma; it was a sea of magma. Occasionally, bubbles would swell up, and whenever one burst, an intense heatwave would charge upwards toward the top of the volcano.

Black smoke also floated up and was pushed up with the heatwave.

There was a palace stuck between the walls of the volcano above the sea of magma. This palace looked exactly the same as the entrance to the next floor in the last six floors.

However, at this moment, the gate was closed and a complex word was drawn on it with black blood. This extravagant word looked like a tattoo but also didn’t

Just looking at it gave off a crazy feeling, as if it could turn the world upside and reverse the heavens.

The moment Wang Lin saw the word, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He recognized the word as it was the language that belonged to the ancient god clan. It was also the language of the ancient demon and ancient devil clan.

“Devil!” It was the word “devil!”

At this moment, outside the palace, Wang Wei, Hu Juan, and Bei Lou formed a group and the All-Seer and company formed another. They floated in the air and stared at the gate of the palace.

Ling Tianhou, the old man on the gourd, and the beautiful woman were constantly using spells to constantly attack the gate. However, due to the heat, the sounds from the impacts were fragmented. The sounds weren’t able to spread far and weren’t able to echo.

Wang Lin’s arrival caused Master Void to raise his head, and a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes. However, he quickly suppressed it.

Wang Lin moved next to Wang Wei and Hu Juan. He looked at the gate and frowned. At this moment, Ling Tianhou let out a roar and the four origin swords behind him crashed into the door. The word “devil” on the door flashed intensely, but it showed no signs of taking any damage.

“I can’t open the seal to enter the eighth floor!” Ling Tianhou let out a cold snort and retreated. The beautiful woman and the old man on the gourd also shook their heads and gave up.

Wang Wei and Hu Juan also frowned. They had tried it before and couldn’t break it either. With this seal here, they wouldn’t be able to enter the palace.

Wang Lin stared at the word “devil” on the gate of the palace. He knew that with these old monsters here, there was obviously no need for him to do anything. He sat down on a rock not far away before closing his eyes and beginning to cultivate. Although he was cultivating, he was still on guard.

Not far away from Wang Lin, the girl in pink stood on a rock slightly lower than Wang Lin. Countless snowflakes surrounded her, resisting the high temperature. The rock below her feet even showed signs of freezing.

Time slowly passed. The man in black that was behind Wang Lin had arrived a long time ago. He cautiously floated on the side and stared at the palace while pondering.

The word “devil” on the palace gate contained an unimaginable sealing force. Almost everyone, including Wang Wei, Hu Juan, the All-Seer, and even Bei Lou, took turns attacking in succession. In the end, both sides attacked at once, and the sounds of the attack unexpectedly broke through the heatwaves. The echoes formed caused large amounts of rocks to fall from the volcano.

The rumbling sounds echoed even louder as everyone continued to attack. In the end, the sounds merged together and even echoed outside the volcano. If you were outside the volcano, you would be able to hear the muffled rumbles.

In the end, with a final attack from Bei Lou, all of the spells gathered into a massive storm that swept toward the palace. There was a heaven-shattering rumble, and the whole volcano seemed to tremble. The magma below raged as if there was an earthquake.

The word “devil” on the palace suddenly collapsed! The gate opened! However, a shocking change occurred the moment the gate opened!

Chapter 1057

The moment the word “devil” dissipated and the gate opened, the sea of magma below suddenly began to churn violently. Bursts of muffled roars came from the magma and then, with a bang, the magma below charged up into the sky.

It was as if an unimaginable force was pushing the magma up. The volcano was erupting!

A temperature several times higher than before suddenly emerged when the magma charged up. The intense temperature even caused a lot of the surrounding rocks to immediately fracture. Before they could even fall, they were turned into black gas and pushed up.

At this moment, if you looked at the volcano from the outside, you would see that the volcano was trembling and black smoke several times stronger was coming out. Large amounts of black smoke rushed out into the air as if it wanted to cover the entire sky.

As the black smoke was sprayed out, it covered the entire sky in almost an instant, not allowing any light to penetrate through. Only the magma between the cracks of the earth glowed, vaguely lighting up the area.

The moment the door opened inside the volcano, Bei Lou rushed out into the palace as the magma rushed up. Everyone else regained their senses and followed him.

However, everyone’s speed was a bit slower, and the monstrous magma rushed up. If this was it, it wouldn’t be enough to scare these powerful cultivators. However, as the magma passed by, a giant arm reached out and grabbed the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman exclaimed and wanted to dodge, but she was too slow before the hand. She was shrouded by flames in an instant and was pulled into the magma.

This sudden scene shocked the hearts of the surrounding cultivators.

However, this wasn’t over yet. As the magma rushed out, a roar came out from the magma and echoed around like a sonic boom. This caused the surrounding rocks to collapse even more.

As the roar echoed, a purplish red coffin came out from the raging magma. The roar from the coffin became even stronger.

Wang Wei and Hu Juan’s expressions changed greatly. The two of obviously knew about the coffin. Without hesitation, the two of them each formed a seal and joined the seals together. They became transparent and instantly passed everyone as they charged into the palace.

The moment they entered the palace, the coffin collapsed and scattered into countless pieces that fell on everyone. At the same time, a red-robed old man walked out from the coffin.

This red-robed old man contained no vitality and was filled with death aura. The moment he appeared, he charged toward everyone. The All-Seer’s eyes lit up and his mouth moved as if he was saying something. Then the red-robed old man suddenly stopped.

Taking advantage of the red-robed old man’s pause, the All-Seer waved his sleeves and charged at the palace. Just at this moment, the red-robed old man’s body collapsed and a roar came out from within. Then a sea of flames appeared and turned into a fire dragon that attempted to devour everyone.

The expression of the girl in pink surrounded by the snowflakes turned pale as she rushed toward the palace. However, before she could enter, her body turned into a ray of light and was inhaled by the fire dragon.

Seeing that everyone was charging toward the palace and not worrying about others, Wang Lin had already left the rock and shot toward the palace. However, just as he was about to enter the palace, Master Void, who was the last person to enter the palace, suddenly turned around and coldly stared at Wang Lin.

Before Master Void could attack, the fire dragon arrived. The fire dragon was so big that it could devour the entire palace. Wang Lin felt a powerful suction force, and he was devoured along with the palace by the fire dragon.

The fire dragon devoured everything and then charged into the magma. The magma began churning even more violently when the dragon dove into it. The magma continued to surge up faster and faster until it erupted out from the volcano and covered the sky. Then the magma fell as balls of fire onto the ground.

Only after a long time did everything end and the volcano stopped erupting, leaving only black smoke coming out. The magma sank back down and the bottom of the volcano became quiet once more. However, the palace was now missing.

At this moment, in the deepest part of the magma, the palace devoured by the fire dragon appeared. However, now it was surrounded by magma, so even if you were inside the palace, you could feel the intense heat.

Wang Lin’s figure appeared in the magma in the distance. The heat coming from the magma not only didn’t injure him, it made his injuries even better. The magma was thick, and it surrounded Wang Lin with an indescribable amount of fire origin energy. The Vermillion Bird tattoo on this body shined brightly and even let out Vermillion Bird cries.

He sat down and gradually sank to the bottom of the magma. He was about 10,000 feet away from the palace. Both of his hands formed a seal and dense fire origin energy entered his body.

As he absorbed, his body turned red, and time slowly passed. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Lin opened his eyes. The surroundings were completely quiet.

Not only was the origin energy inside his body not restrained, it became even more vigorous. While pondering, Wang Lin didn’t immediately leave but continued to cultivate.

This was a very precious chance for him. It would be very difficult for him to find another place with such rich fire origin energy. Wang Lin closed his eyes and continued to absorb fire origin energy.

Time passed. As Wang Lin absorbed, the amount of magma gradually reduced. During this time, Wang Lin awakened three times, and all three time were because the intense fluctuations of magma caused the volcano to erupt.

Whenever he awakened, he would carefully watch the eruption of the volcano. After the eruption was complete, he would immerse himself in absorbing once more.

On this day, Wang Lin awakened for the fourth time. Although the magma still had endless fire origin energy left, Wang Lin no longer dared to continue absorbing. As he absorbed the fire origin energy, he gradually became one with the magma, and he vaguely felt that there was a strange spirit inside the magma.

If he absorbed too much, it would be easy to disturb that strange spirit. According to Wang Lin’s analysis, that strange spirit should be the fire dragon that devoured everything.

While pondering, Wang Lin slowly stood up and walked toward the palace in the magma. However, after a few steps, Wang Lin suddenly stopped as he saw a bubble slowly closing in on the palace.

After carefully looking at the bubble, Wang Lin’s expression became strange, and at the same time, the cultivators inside it saw Wang Lin.

There were two people inside the bubble. They were the girl in pink and the beautiful woman who was devoured by fire dragon. The beautiful woman was unconscious and her whole body glowed red; it seemed like she was on the edge of death. As for the girl in pink, the snowflakes around her had disappeared. There was a snowflake rune flashing between her eyebrows that released bursts of cold energy that allowed her to survive inside the bubble.

She immediately saw Wang Lin approaching, and surprise and horror filled her eyes. Although she knew about Wang Lin’s Vermillion Bird awakening, she didn’t think that Wang Lin wouldn’t be injured at all inside this magma, and he moved as if he was on land.

“No wonder those people were so terrified of the Four Divine Sect. It seems that after the Vermillion Bird awakened, he unexpectedly gained a terrifying resistance to fire.” The girl in pink stared at Wang Lin. She had been stuck in the magma for several months and was unable to move too fast. Fortunately, she was able to find the beautiful middle-aged woman, but she had been unconscious this whole time and her body was filled with a strange flame.

The girl wasn’t able to awaken the beautiful woman. Although she was able to protect herself from the magma with the treasure her senior sister had given her, moving forward was difficult. It had taken several months for her to find the palace, but she didn’t expect to see Wang Lin here.

When she saw Wang Lin, the girl in pink felt her heart skip a beat and became anxious. She quickly controlled the bubble and charged straight for the palace.

Due to the sudden acceleration, the bubble became unstable and seemed like it could collapse at any time. However, the girl in pink couldn’t care about that anymore, and she quickly closed in on the palace.

Wang Lin’s expression was indifferent as he stepped toward the bubble the girl in pink and the beautiful woman were in. As he quickly closed in, the girl in pink became even more anxious. She didn’t know what Wang Lin was thinking, but she knew Wang Lin and the beautiful woman’s group had conflict in the past. She thought he was coming here to kill the beautiful woman.

When the girl in pink saw that Wang Lin was only few hundred feet away, she quickly shouted, “Wang Lin, you have a feud with Master Void; the two of us has no feud with you!”

Chapter 1058

Wang Lin’s expression was still cold as he instantly closed the hundreds of feet gap and arrived next to the bubble. He coldly looked at the girl in pink and the beautiful middle-aged woman.

The woman in pink’s eyes were wary and the snowflake rune shined brightly. She was very nervous at this moment as she had no way of stopping Wang Lin from doing anything. The only thing she could rely on was the snowflake mark between her eyebrows; it was the life-saving treasure her senior sister had given her.

Wang Lin looked at the girl and sent out a divine sense message. “Are you the Brilliant Void Saintess?” His divine sense seemed to fuse with the magma, and a ripple echoed, causing the bubble around the girl in pink to tremble violently as if it could break at any moment.

The girl in pink’s face immediately turned pale. She bit her lower lip as she shook her head and said, “I’m not the Brilliant Void Saintess, my senior sister is.”

Wang Lin pointed at the beautiful woman and asked, “What is your relationship with her?”

“She is my elder in the Brilliant Void Realm.” The girl in pink didn’t dare to not answer. If Wang Lin broke this bubble, the middle-aged woman would immediately fall into the magma. The middle-aged woman was already seriously affected by fire poison, and falling into the magma would only make it worse or cause her soul to be destroyed.

“Although Master Void has harmed you, we didn’t offend you… You…” Before the girl in pink could finish speaking, her pupils shrank and she quickly retreated a few steps. The snowflake between her eyebrows began flashing.

She saw that Wang Lin had already stepped through the bubble while she spoke and stood opposite of her.

“Put away your treasure.” Wang Lin entered the bubble and squatted down next to the beautiful middle-aged woman who was in a coma. His eyes revealed a strange light. As for girl in pink, Wang Lin didn’t consider her a threat at all. Even though she had the snowflake treasure, she still wasn’t a threat in Wang Lin’s eyes.

“What are you doing?” The girl in pink’s heart pounded rapidly. When she saw Wang Lin’s finger land between the beautiful middle-aged woman’s eyebrows, she was going to shout at him to stop.

However, just as she was about to attack, Wang Lin didn’t turn around but casually pointed with his finger.

“Noisy!”

The Stop spell was suddenly used and the girl in pink suddenly stopped. Although her body was stopped, the snowflakes around her split into countless more and surrounded her body, forming a tight defense.

Wang Lin no longer paid any attention to the girl in pink but placed his right index finger between the eyebrows of the middle-aged woman. Taking the chance while her origin soul was weak and unconscious, his divine sense swept through her mind.

The memories of the beautiful middle-aged woman appeared in Wang Lin’s mind. Although her cultivation level was higher than Wang Lin’s, his divine sense swept through her memories. Whether she lived or die wasn’t important; Wang Lin just wanted her memories.

All memories related to the Brilliant Void Realm were important information for Wang Lin. The real reason he needed this information was due to the figure that caused him so much pain that he saw when his mind spread out across the Brilliant Void Realm when he reached peak of the Nirvana Scryer stage.

As his divine sense spread across each of her memories, Wang Lin gradually gained an understanding of the Brilliant Void Realm, and his expression became serious. However, none of this was information he wanted to know. As he searched her memories, the beautiful middle-aged woman’s body trembled and her eyelashes shook lightly. Her beautiful and mature face was flushed red and could cause anyone’s heart to skip a beat.

As Wang Lin searched her soul, it was obvious that it made it so she wasn’t able to suppress the fire poison, and it showed signs of erupting. The girl in pink became anxious and looked at Wang Lin with hatred in her eyes. However, she wasn’t strong enough to put up any resistance against Wang Lin’s Stop spell.

As Wang Lin’s swept through the middle-aged woman’s memories, he was suddenly startled as he found what he was looking for. There was an arrogant figure in her memories.

This figure was the person Wang Lin saw when his mind swept through the Brilliant Void Realm!

“Brilliant Void Saintess Mu Bingmei!” Wang Lin had a complex expression as he lifted his right index finger up.

This middle-aged woman respected the Brilliant Void Saintess a lot but didn’t know much. She only knew that the Saintess cultivated a very strange cultivation method. Once it’s complete, the Saintess would become the strongest person in the Brilliant Void Realm.

Unfortunately, it seemed this method was extremely difficult to complete. Aside from the first generation Saintess, no one else had succeeded in it. However, it seemed this seventh generation Saintess, Mu Bingmei, had achieved some success.

“Liu Mei… Mu Bingmei…” Wang Lin felt pain come from his mind. He could even feel Wang Ping, who was inside the heaven defying bead, show signs of awakening due to the fluctuations in his mind.

Thinking about Wang Ping, Wang Lin felt like his heart was cut by a knife. Wang Ping always had a wish, but he only mentioned it once in his life. After not receiving an answer, he never mentioned it again in his life.

He very much wanted to see his mother once…

Wang Lin stood up while silently pondering and looked at the girl in pink. From the middle-aged woman’s memories, Wang Lin knew that this girl was Liu Mei’s junior sister and that she cultivated the same method. Her relationship with the middle-aged woman wasn’t simple. The middle-aged woman had watched the girl in pink grow up before she became Liu Mei’s junior sister.

Wang Lin’s eyes became cold and calmly said, “If I don’t save her, she will without a doubt die within 15 minutes!”

The beautiful woman’s body was a rosy red. This red was a demonic kind of red. Lots of sweat was coming out from her body, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into white gas.

If this continued, it wouldn’t take long for the middle-aged woman to become a mummy, and her origin soul would be destroyed. Even if Wang Lin didn’t search her memories, she wouldn’t have lasted long. Maybe a bit longer, but the result would’ve been the same.

“We can make a deal. I’ll save you, take you two into the palace, and into the eighth floor. In return, you will let me search your memories!” Wang Lin spoke calmly and gave the girl a choice. If she agreed, it would be fine, but if she didn’t, Wang Lin would attack.

The girl in pink let out a bitter smile. She could see the determination in Wang Lin’s words. She was smart, so she naturally knew that Wang Lin want to search her memories to look for something.

After observing him, she knew that he was certainly searching for something related to her senior sister. Even if she didn’t agree, it would be pointless.

She nodded and gave up resisting.

Wang Lin no longer spoke but waved his sleeves. He took the two women and stepped directly outside the bubble. He then charged straight ahead.

Soon, he closed in on the palace and entered. After he entered, Wang Lin’s right hand formed a seal and pointed, causing all the magma to surge out of the palace. Once no lava was left inside the palace, the gate suddenly closed shut.

Although there was no more magma inside, this place still gave off intense heat. Wang Lin waved his sleeves and the two women landed on the side.

His right hand reached out and the beautiful woman’s body flew toward him. Wang Lin’s right hand hit multiple spots on the beautiful woman, not caring that she was female at all. Every time he hit a part of her body, her face would become a bit more red.

After seven minutes, her body was almost completely red. Wang Lin placed his right hand on her forehead and a suction force came from his hand. All of the fire poison in her body rushed into Wang Lin’s hand.

The beautiful woman’s body gradually returned to normal. However, she was extremely weak and fell to the side.

“Now it’s your turn.” Wang Lin looked at the girl in pink.

The girl in pink bit her lower lip and, after pondering a bit, she sat down. She pointed between her eyebrows with her right hand and the snowflakes around her body slowly disappeared. She closed her eyes and remained motionless.

Wang Lin didn’t have any other thoughts; it was only an exchange for him. His right hand pointed between to her eyebrows and his divine sense spread out and searched her memories.

The girl in pink’s body trembled, but she clenched her teeth. Although searching memories was harmful, Wang Lin wasn’t too tyrannical. As long as she didn’t resist, he wouldn’t break through by force. So in the end it would all depend on whether she completely gave up resisting or not.

As Wang Lin searched, he gradually understood more about Mu Bingmei. After a long time, he withdrew his right hand, and his expression became even more complex.

“Heavenly Soul Dao… To pretend the heavens’ dao has a soul and to cultivate this dao with countless avatars. After many experiences, one will cultivate many different cultivation methods and retain their original heart while obtaining countless domains. In the end, all of the avatars unite to complete the Heavenly Soul Dao…”

This Heavenly Soul Dao was the peak cultivation method of the Brilliant Void Realm, and only the first generation Saintess had succeeded in cultivating it. All future generations failed because they lost sight of their original hearts and died.

This Mu Bingmei was the seventh generation Saintess. She had unexpectedly found a shortcut by using her ruthless domain. After an avatar was formed from cultivating the Heavenly Soul Dao, she didn’t allow it to retain her memories. Instead, she’d send the avatar to survive on its own. This allowed the avatar to create a new consciousness that didn’t know of the existence of the original body. Only after the avatar’s cultivation level reached a certain point could the memory inheritance be activated, and the avatar would then fuse back with the original body.

The heavens’ dao was ruthless, so her avatar needed to be ruthless too!

Also, she didn’t have countless avatars like previous generation Saintesses, she only had nine!

She had calculated very far into the future when she selected the planets to place them on. After countless years, the first eight avatar had all awakened while retaining their virgin bodies.

However, the ninth avatar on planet Suzaku had an accident! As for what the accident was, the girl in pink didn’t know. She just knew that the ninth avatar was named Liu Mei and that it had caused her senior sister to enter a struggle.

Chapter 1059

The girl in pink’s face turned deathly pale and sweat covered her forehead. Her body became very weak, but the damage of the memory search wasn’t very heavy, so she only needed to rest for a bit to recover.

Wang Lin let out a sigh. He had already obtain the answer he wanted about the Brilliant Void Saintess. Although it wasn’t complete, with Wang Lin’s intelligence, he was able to see the problems.

After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin’s gaze swept the palace and he found where to activate it.

“After opening this array, the two of you can enter the eighth floor. You’ll be on your own!” Wang Lin activated the transfer array and disappeared.

Although he didn’t kill the beautiful middle-aged woman, while searching her memories, he had destroyed all of his secrets that she saw. He had also left behind restrictions in her mind. If she continued to bother him, he could cause her mind to collapse.

The moment Wang Lin entered the eighth floor of the Celestial Emperor Cave, he heard rumbling sounds from the distance and felt powerful origin energy fluctuations.

The eighth floor was completely dark and enveloped in a black mist that prevented Wang Lin’s divine sense from spreading out far. However, the noise became more rapid and he could vaguely hear angry roars.

This voice seemed to belong to Ling Tianhou.

Wang Lin’s eyes became serious. After listening for a long time, Wang Lin retreated, but just as he retreated, the black mist before him churned and Ling Tianhou charged out. At this moment, Ling Tianhou was in an extremely sorry state and his face was filled with horror. There was a black handprint on his chest. The handprint had broken through his clothes and imprinted on his chest. As he ran, black mist moved toward that handprint.

A shadow was chasing behind him through the black mist, and it had taken the form of a giant devil by using the black mist. It was chasing the escaping Ling Tianhou and was about to devour him.

The fear in Ling Tianhou’s eyes was even stronger, but he clenched his teeth and turned around. He opened his mouth and spat out origin energy before reaching out at the void with his hand. A spatial rift appeared and Ling Tianhou’s red qilin charged out at the roaring devil.

The qilin’s body was also covered in wounds, and a large amount of blood was flowing out of them. Ling Tianhou’s eyes revealed his heartache, but right now wasn’t the time for him to think about it, and he shouted, “Blood Sacrifice!”

As he spoke, he hit the spot between his eyebrows and the remaining two origin swords behind him flew out. They didn’t fly toward the devil, but toward the qilin.

The qilin let out a miserable cry, but it didn’t resist; it allowed the two origin swords to stab into it. Large amounts of blood sprayed out and immediately covered the surrounding 1,000 feet area.

“Beast soul, appear!” As Ling Tianhou shouted, the qilin’s body suddenly exploded. As blood rain down, the qilin’s soul appeared from its collapsed body.

The moment the qilin’s soul appeared, it let out a roar. This roar couldn’t be heard by the physical body, only the origin soul. When that roar entered Wang Lin’s ears, it was like rumbling thunder.

As the qilin soul let out a roar, it charged at the devil monster. It began biting the devil in an attempt to stop it from chasing. Ling Tianhou looked at all the qilin blood with his bloodshot eyes. His heart was also bleeding!

This qilin had followed him for countless years and had become something too difficult for him to part with. However, at this moment, he had to personally kill it to use its blood as a sacrifice to speed up the growth of its soul.

While he roared, Ling Tianhou’s hand formed a seal and pointed forward. All the blood flew into the air and gathered toward where the qilin was fighting the devil. There were traces of gold inside the blood that even caused more than half of the black mist to dissipate as it gathered toward the devil.

“Wang Lin, help me. This place is dangerous; it is not a place that a single person can last in. I’ll explain to you later!” The reason Ling Tianhou chose to escape to this location was because he had detected someone entering. Of the people that hadn’t entered, the person who was most qualified to enter first was Wang Lin!

Just after entering the eighth floor, Wang Lin immediately saw Ling Tianhou in such a sorry state, and he had even destroyed his own qilin. Wang Lin had a bad feeling about what had happened to the people that had entered the eighth floor.

At this moment, he had to ask someone about what happened. Wang Lin revealed a decisive gaze and stepped out from the dark mist. Not wasting any time talking with Ling Tianhou, he jumped up and was about to use a spell.

“Spells are useless against it!! It will just devour them!” Ling Tianhou immediately shouted, and at the same time, he slapped his bag of holding. A small, red sword appeared in his hand and he threw it straight ahead. Then Ling Tianhou’s heart ached as he shouted, “Explode!”

After he spoke, the small sword suddenly collapsed into a destructive force that entered the devil. The devil immediately let out sharp cries.

To Wang Lin, this devil was clearly an ancient devil! However, this ancient devil was a bit strange, and although it was similar to a scattered devil, it was a little different!

For some reason, there were stars in this ancient devil’s left eye! There was a total of eight stars, seven of which were dim, and only one gave off monstrous devilish energy.

At this moment, the ancient devil was filled with pain, and the stars in its left eye were rotating. The one shining star became even brighter as powerful devilish energy came from it, giving it an eerie feeling.

While roaring, the ancient devil’s body flickered and it unexpectedly escaped the qilin. It charged directly at Ling Tianhou. Wang Lin’s pupils shrank, and his right hand formed a fist and he threw a punch.

The ancient god shadow appeared, but thanks to the black mist, it wasn’t clear. However, the moment he threw that punch, the ancient devil was startled and suddenly turned around. The ancient devil stared at Wang Lin and gave up on chasing Ling Tianhou, then it turned into a shadow and charged at Wang Lin.

It was obvious that he had recognized Wang Lin’s ancient god aura.

Wang Lin’s mind moved and a black and white Yin and Yang symbol appeared behind him. His right hand reached out, and as the black and white gas mixed, the treasure Wang Lin had fused with his domain appeared. The Karma Whip!

With the Karma Whip in hand, Wang Lin’s hand shook and popping sounds came out, then the skin on the whip peeled open, revealing strands of golden light.

The moment the devil closed in, the Karma Whip closed in and landed on the devil. The ancient devil suddenly stopped, and a large amount of devilish energy sprayed out from where the whip passed. He let out a painful scream and his eyes were bloodshot. He was about to charge again.

However, the Karma Whip in Wang Lin’s hand moved once more, and with a snap, it landed on the ancient devil, causing him to tremble. Wang Lin didn’t stop and continued to land blows on the ancient devil. The ancient devil seemed to have become fearful of the whip and continued to retreat.

However, just after it retreated hundreds of feet, the ancient devil rapidly shrank until it unexpectedly became a large handprint and whistled toward Wang Lin.

“Wang Lin, be careful. That devilish handprint can penetrate all forms of protection!” Ling Tianhou was startled by the handprint. The injury on his chest was caused by that handprint.

When Wang Lin saw the devilish handprint, his eyes shined brightly. This giant handprint gave him a very familiar feeling. As it closed in, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he raised his right hand. The feeling of that shocking handprint he saw in the Rain Celestial Realm appeared in his mind!

“I know this handprint too!” Back then, Wang Lin’s cultivation level wasn’t high enough, but now he was at the peak of the Nirvana Scryer stage and had the body of an ancient god. The thought of that handprint from the Rain Celestial Realm immediately filled his mind and replaced everything. It seemed to become an eternal existence, and it turned into a will that entered his right hand and shot forward.

This palm caused the world to change colors, and thunderous rumbles echoed. All of the black mist was pushed back like crazy as if there was a powerful wind pushing it.

The will contained inside this handprint contained an imposing aura that said “everything in the world belongs to me.” This palm immediately turned into a giant handprint that covered the heavens and earth. It contained an indescribable pressure as it pushed forward.

In an instant, it collided with the ancient devil’s shadow. There was a heaven-shaking rumble that caused the entire earth to tremble. The devilish handprint collapsed with a bang and turned back into the ancient devil. His eyes were filled with horror as he let out a screen and was about to flee.

However, Wang Lin’s palm didn’t dissipate but swept forward in a crazy manner. All of the black mist in the eighth floor began to be pushed back. Unexpectedly, this handprint had opened a large path through the black mist. The ancient devil wasn’t able to escape, and the handprint caught up. It let out a mournful cry, and just as its body shattered, its left eye flashed. His left eye escaped and flew straight ahead.

The handprint didn’t stop and continued to move forward. All of the pavilions in the way collapsed. As the handprint moved forward, it finally collided with the edge of the palace at the center.

There was a loud thud and more than half of the palace was destroyed, exposing the 99 candlesticks inside! The moment the handprint collided, one of the two candles that remained burning shook violently, and in the end the flame went out.

The only remaining candle showed signs of extinguishing but was still struggling to stay burning.

Ling Tianhou stared dumbfoundedly at all of this, and he sucked a breath of cold air. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at Wang Lin. Right now a terrifying storm appeared in his heart.

Chapter 1060

“Let’s go!” Wang Lin’s words were concise, and he followed the road the handprint had opened. He was not as calm as he looked at this moment. He had a feeling that he was only able to display a very small portion of the true power of that handprint. If he could use it at full power…. All nine floors of this Celestial Emperor Cave could be smashed with one handprint!

Ling Tianhou quickly followed behind Wang Lin, and his dread toward Wang Lin increased as he understood Wang Lin less and less. Although he knew that his cultivation level was higher, if they were really to fight, he had a feeling that he would without a doubt lose!

Wang Lin moved forward like lightning and soon arrived next to the half-destroyed palace. He coldly looked at Ling Tianhou as he took out a large amount of pills and threw them into his mouth. Then he slapped his bag of holding and a ray of silver light flew it. The silver female corpse appeared around Wang Lin and coldly looked at Ling Tianhou.

Ling Tianhou’s pupils shrank. He felt like Wang Lin had become even more mysterious and powerful.

“I can’t figure this person out all. Whether it’s his cultivation, spells, or anything else, I can only use the two words ‘profound mystery’ to describe him!” In Ling Tianhou’s life, he had only described the All-Seer as a “profound mystery,” and now there was one more.

He didn’t use the green pill Wang Wei had given him but instead devoured a lot of other pills to make up for the terrifying amount of origin energy that handprint had used up. The amount of origin energy he had used wasn’t any less than what he used with the iron sword.

However, Wang Lin just had left the magma, aside from the fire origin energy inside his body, there were still large amounts of origin energy he hadn’t absorbed yet. Also, during his months of cultivating, the Vermillion Bird tattoo had absorbed a lot as well.

During those months of cultivation, Wang Lin noticed that the fire origin energy absorbed by his Vermillion Bird tattoo could be transferred to his body. It was this discovery that made Wang Lin remain so long inside the magma.

After devouring the pills, Wang Lin didn’t use the fire origin energy inside the Vermillion Bird tattoo and instead absorbed some of the unabsorbed fire origin energy in his body. Adding on the pills he had just devoured, Wang Lin recovered a bit.

He soon arrived at the half-destroyed palace with the candlesticks, and only one remained struggled to remain burning. There was no one here. Wang Lin’s gaze swept the area and then he calmly said, “What exactly happened here?”

Ling Tianhou arrived inside after Wang Lin with lingering fear in his eyes and said, “When we entered from the seventh floor, there was no black fog here. However, after entering this hall and opening the entrance to the ninth floor, three devil shadows shot out and filled this area with black fog.

“Those three devil shadows were very strange, and Master Void was immediately seriously injured by one. Wang Wei suffered injuries from Bei Lou’s sneak attack. Then the All-Seer attacked, and he helped Bei Lou… As for Hu Juan, before she could do anything, she was immediately sucked into the ninth floor… I was also injured by a devil shadow. I couldn’t clearly see my surroundings with this black fog as divine sense can’t pierce it…”

Ling Tianhou simply explained what happened, and as Wang Lin listened, his expression gradually turned into a frown. Wang Lin wasn’t surprised about the All-Seer helping Bei Lou. The All-Seer had been to the Demon Spirit Land many times, and Wang Lin wouldn’t believe that he had never come into contact with the ancient demons.

Besides, back when Wang Lin was still in the Heavenly Fate Sect, he remembered that the senior brother of the Purple Division had used a spell similar to a demonic spell. He remembered that profoundly.

Later, as he encountered more events, the more he thought about it, the more it confirmed his speculation.

Wang Lin had also obtained the body of the scattered devil. The body was obviously the same as Ling Tianhou, only a lot younger.

Wang Lin still had that body inside his bag. He believed that if he took that body out, Ling Tianhou’s expression would change greatly. Even the All-Seer’s expression would probably change.

“Ancient devil, ancient demon, All-Seer, and Ling Tianhou. There must be some strange relationship between them…” Wang Lin quietly looked at the remnants of the palace, especially at the last remaining burning candle.

“How do we activate this place?” Wang Lin had to go to the ninth floor. Whether it was for Zhou Yi or Situ Nan, he had to enter. Although Situ Nan hadn’t come this far, Wang Lin firmly believed that with Situ Nan’s cultivation level, he would be fine in the first few floors.

However, Zhou Yi was at the ninth floor, and the hope of curing Situ Nan’s poison was also on the ninth floor. Both were his benefactors, so how could Wang Lin give up? Although he knew that there were dangers on the ninth floor, if he gave up due to danger, then he wouldn’t be Wang Lin!

Ling Tianhou hesitated and asked, “You really want to go down?”

Wang Lin nodded.

Ling Tianhou pondered a bit, then a trace of madness in his eyes and he muttered, “Forget it. You’ve cultivated for less time than me but still have the guts to go. This old man’s beloved beast was destroyed due to that damn thing. I’ve cultivated the tyrannical domain all my life, and I’m unwilling to leave just like this! The All-Seer dared to enter, so why should I be afraid?” He stepped forward and headed toward the candlesticks. He then quickly moved the candlesticks based on his memory of what Hu Juan did.

The 99 candlesticks began to slowly move and a loud rumbles could be heard. As they moved, they took the shape of a large formation.

Bursts of ghostly light came from the candlestick and then shined brightly. At the center of the 99 candlesticks, a circle of light appeared, and dense, black fog came from inside it.

Ling Tianhou clenched his teeth and charged into the circle of light first. Wang Lin didn’t hesitate; he took a deep breath and put away the silver female corpse before stepping into the light circle.

Just as Wang Lin and Ling Tianhou entered the ninth floor, inside the palace at the center of the ninth floor, which was the same as the one on the eighth, a figure covered in dark fog raised his head and revealed a sign of struggle. There was only one light remaining between his eyebrows as the endless black gas attacked in an attempt to devour the last speck of light.

Constant rumbles came from outside the palace along with angry roars. It was obvious that an intense battle was occuring outside.

Outside the palace, almost everyone was present, but they were all injured. They were circling the palace, and countless devil shadows were rushing out and attacking the surrounding cultivators. No matter how much they attacked, these devil shadows didn’t dissipate.

If they were forced into a desperate situation, the devil shadows would collapse to form a terrifying destructive force. This caused all the surrounding people to be entangled in this battle.

Master Void’s face was pale and he sat down not far away. He coughed out a mouthful of black blood and pointed at spots across his body to suppress his injuries.

Beside him, the man in black was also extremely pale, and he sat there cultivating, but his eyes were locked straight ahead.

The All-Seer waved his large sleeves, and every time he did so, he would launch many powerful attacks, breaking everything coming at him. As for Wang Wei, he had a gloomy expression as the monstrous water curtains around him attacked like crazy.

There were two reasons why he was attacking like crazy. One was his master, Qing Lin, and the second was Hu Juan, who was immediately sucked into the ninth floor. This caused him to become distracted, allowing Bei Lou the chance to launch a sneak attack. Along with the All-Seer’s help, they were able to injure Wang Wei, but Wang Wei had too many pills. He simply took some and ignored Bei Lou and the All-Seer as he rushed into the ninth floor to look for Hu Juan.

Bei Lou was on the other side. Demonic energy filled his body, forming a powerful demonic flame around him. An ancient demon shadow appeared behind him, but this shadow was almost corporeal, and it gave off a powerful demonic aura.

Whenever he raised his right hand, countless spells would fly out, attacking the devil shadows, and he shouted, “Ta Jia, I know your Devil Shadow spell consumes the most devilish energy. I want to see how much more you can waste!”

What answered Bei Lou was a cold, hoarse voice that caused everyone’s hearts to feel a chill. This voice was ethereal and contained a devilish pressure.

“Bei Lou, when I finish my possession, you will know how much devilish energy I have now!”

After hearing this, Wang Wei’s eyes turned red. Then both of his hands moved and a blue light appeared before him. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a surging sea that filled the entire sky like a real ocean. Wang Wei roared and then this monstrous ocean came crashing down from the sky at the dark fog outside the palace.

The old man on the gourd also attacked as he turned into countless spells and charged into the black fog to begin a slaughter with the devil shadows.

Zhou Yi was also here, but he was even weaker than before. He had an anxious gaze as he looked at the black mist before him. However, the devilish energy in him was too strong. As a spirit body, he was finding it difficult to resist the devilish energy.

It was at this moment that Wang Lin and Ling Tianhou arrived. This ninth floor was not big; aside from the palace, there was nothing else. The moment they arrived, they saw the unprecedented fierce battle before them.

Ancient Demon Bei Lou’s shadow and Wang Wei’s monstrous waves were the most noticeable. At this moment, the All-Seer’s eyes revealed a strange light as he pointed at the sky and said, “Heavenly Fate Finger!”

After he spoke, a majestic vortex appeared in the sea formed by Wang Wei’s spell, then a powerful pressure descended from the above. A giant finger came out of the water and mercilessly pressed down on the palace covered in black fog!

Chapter 1061

The monstrous ocean suddenly smashed down as if it wanted destroy everything in the world. The All-Seer’s finger also descended from the sky. Ancient Demon Bei Lou opened his arms and the ancient demon shadow behind him detached from his body. There was a flash of light and 24 small illusionary flags surrounded the ancient demon shadow.

As the ancient demon pointed forward, the 24 small flags released an unimaginable pressure. Various illusions of ancient gods and ancient devils appeared; there were even some fierce beasts from ancient times.

They filled the sky!

Various spells descended from the sky outside the palace at this moment. Master Void clenched his teeth and was going to attack, but when he realized that Wang Lin was here, he immediately stopped.

The man in black also didn’t move, but a trace of greed appeared in his eyes. Inside the palace was a seriously injured Celestial Emperor Qing Lin. Even if the ancient devil was here, they still had more people, and they weren’t lacking in powerful cultivators, so even the ancient devil would be afraid.

“As long as I can obtain three drops of Qing Lin’s blood, my mission will be complete. Then the Lord will help me increase my cultivation level greatly!”

Even the old man on the gourd’s eyes lit up. He stopped attacking and took a few steps back, then greed appeared in his eyes. He came here with the All-Seer, so he hadn’t encountered too much trouble. He wasn’t here to obtain the secret of the third step from Qing Lin; he wanted his celestial spells.

When the All-Seer, Bei Lou, and Wang Wei’s spells landed, there was a violent rumble and countless cracks appeared on the earth, making it seem as if it was going to collapse.

When the All-Seer’s finger landed, the entire earth collapsed and even the entire Celestial Emperor Cave began to shake. All nine floors were affected.

Then, adding the numerous illusions summoned by Bei Lou’s flags, what shook wasn’t merely the Celestial Emperor Cave, but the entire Demon Spirit Land!

The collapse of the ground caused the entire ninth floor to turn into ruin. When the three powerful spells descended, Bei Lou’s hoarse voice roared like crazy. And then all the black fog around the palace charged at the three powerhouses.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Waves of heaven-shaking rumbles echoed. Wang Lin and Ling Tianhou quickly flew forward. Before they got close, they felt the unimaginable impact from ahead.

However, just as the spells and the black fog collided, causing the world to change colors, the last candle in the palace on the eighth floor struggled for a moment and then extinguished…

The moment the candle extinguished, the light between the eyebrows of the middle-aged man on the throne disappeared. Then large amounts of devilish energy rushed in and occupied the entire area.

At this instant, the man suddenly raised his head, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared, replaced with a terrifying devilish flame. There were now eight stars rapidly rotating in his left eye. He revealed a gloomy smile as he slowly stood up.

He had been sitting here for countless years, and during these countless years, his body wasn’t able to move an inch. However, at this moment, he moved!

The moment the middle-aged man stood up, monstrous devilish energy surged out and countless cracks appeared on the palace he was in. Then the palace shattered into countless pieces and scattered everywhere.

Even the black fog outside quickly entered the collapsed palace and went toward the middle-aged man. A suit of black armor suddenly appeared on his body.

At this moment, Wang Wei saw the palace collapse, and he saw the figure inside the collapsed palace. His eyes were filled with shock and pain.

“Teacher!!!”

There was a trace of madness in the All-Seer’s eyes. He had waited a very long time for this day!

On the other side, Bei Lou sucked in a breath of cold air and intense killing intent appeared in his eyes.

“He has just finished the possession and it hasn’t stabilized yet. I can’t let him consolidate his power!”

The moment the middle-aged man stood up, all the restrictions in the first fight floors flickered intensely as if they were cheering, and then they all collapsed.

What was even more terrifying was that the Demon Spirit Land changed greatly when he stood up. All the demonic energy was swept away from the Demon Spirit Land, reverting it to the Celestial Spirit Heaven Realm. However, at this moment, endless devilish energy surged out and covered the entire sky above the Celestial Spirit Heaven Realm.

The celestial beasts that had just recovered were swept by the devilish energy. Once the devilish energy passed, they became extremely bloodthirsty ferocious beasts.

Not only the Demon Spirit Land, but even the endless starry sky the Demon Spirit Land was in was filled with devilish energy. It turned into a huge illusory devil shadow, and it let out a arrogant laugh!

This laugh was silent, but it enveloped the entire Alliance. This was an unimaginable kind of power. The war in the Alliance that had lasted for half a year still continued. Countless cultivators had died, but the ruthless battle had made both sides’ eyes red from slaughter.

Large amounts of Allheaven cultivators came from Allheaven, and the Alliance moved out almost all the cultivators in the northern region. The entire northern region was covered in the thick smell of blood.

Even Master Flamespark had almost gone crazy from killing. However, just as the two sides were immersed in endless slaughter, that silent laugh passed by. Master Flamespark was startled, and even the Alliance elder fighting him was aghast at the situation.

They weren’t the only ones; all the surrounding ordinary cultivators began to tremble, but they didn’t know the reason.

In the distant Alliance headquarters, there were still some surviving celestials like Wang Wei and Hu Juan. They were the backbone of the Alliance, and they were about to head out to join the battle in the northern region.

However, the silent laugh passed by their ears. The expressions of these former celestials changed greatly and terror filled their eyes.

“This… This sound is…”

“Celestial Emperor Qing Lin!!!”

Even the middle-aged man in the secret room on the planet above the vortex deep within the Alliance headquarters suddenly opened his eyes. The moment his eyes opened, the bell on the ceiling suddenly collapsed with a bang.

“Celestial Emperor!!”

At the same time, the old man that noticed Wang Lin in the Brilliant Void Realm suddenly looked up. It was as if his gaze could penetrate into the distance and look at the Demon Spirit Land. His expression had never been so serious before. Beside him, the cold Brilliant Void Saintess, Mu Bingmei, was also startled.

“He has awakened… No, it’s not him!” The old man’s expression changed. There was a hint of melancholy, a hint of relief, but also a hint of disappointment.

In the burning starfield that was a forbidden land for the Alliance that belonged to the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect of the Four Divine Sect, there was a 100-feet-wide white rock that was within the deepest part of the starfield. This was where the source of the flames was. This rock had an irregular shape, and it wasn’t red, but snow-white.

However, the temperature from this rock was unimaginable. Even the current Wang Lin would melt if he came within 1,000 feet ot it, and even his Vermillion Bird would instantly die.

Even a 5-star ancient god wouldn’t be able to last if they went within this 1,000 feet of this rock.

This seemingly ordinary stone was the source of this burning starfield. It was because of this that the starfield had continued to burn over the countless years.

At this moment, there was an old man sitting on top of this rock. This old man looked far too old with his loose skin, and a dense death aura filled him. From a distance, he didn’t look like a person, but a pile of dead flesh.

However, no one dared to underestimate this old man. He was the Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor! Even back then, his fame shook the stars. Due to some special reason, he didn’t enter the Celestial Realm, but there would have been a place for him there!

At this moment, the old man opened his eyes. He looked a head and revealed a hint of melancholy.

“Could it be that my Vermillion Bird Divine Sect really can’t rise once more…”

There was a planet among the stars that most people didn’t pay attention to or directly ignored. It was a rank 6 cultivation planet, and it was called planet Suzaku!

On planet Suzaku, in the place where it was once a sea of fog, there lied the Land of the Ancient God. Within the blood sea of the Land of the Ancient God, a red-haired man slowly raised his head and revealed a hint of contempt in his eyes.

“This 8-star ancient devil… is just a waste! In another hundred years, I, Tuo Sen, will be able to leave this place. At that time, will anyone who can hinder me appear?”

As Tuo Sen’s voice echoed, the sea of blood churned and raged like a monstrous wave! The Land of the Ancient God was a separate space in the void that Tu Si had opened up. His body was stored in this space.

It was impossible to describe how large his body was; even a cultivation planet was like a children’s toy next to it. His rough skin and huge fist gave off an earth-shattering pressure that filled the void.

However, as the blood sea raged with Tuo Sen’s words, Tu Si’s right index finger suddenly moved a bit…

Chapter 1062 – Power of the Ancient Demon

The collapse of the palace was like a storm that was suddenly stopped, and then all of its force scattered outwards. The middle-aged man that stood up was the former number one person who had no rivals among the four Celestial Realms, Celestial Emperor Qing Lin!

However, right now his eyes were filled with powerful devilish flames and he was enveloped by a suit of black armor. The scale-like armor covered his entire body.

The monstrous devilish energy formed a cloak behind him that moved without any wind. At the end of the cloak, the impressive shadow of an ancient devil appeared.

The dense armor completely covered his appearance, with only the devilish flame in his eyes giving off a red glow. The moment the palace collapsed, he stepped out.

At this moment, outside the collapsed palace, Wang Wei’s magnificent sea spell covered the sky. The collapse of the palace was too fast, so Wang Wei had no time to stop his spell. The surging waves smashed down like crazy on the collapsed palace.

At this instant, it was as if everything in this world was replaced by the sea, and water vapor filled the world. A heaven-shaking amount of celestial spiritual energy flooded the area at this moment. It felt almost corporeal and could shake one’s mind.

Just this spell was enough to make Wang Wei one of the most powerful cultivators today. The entire world seemed to be submerged by this raging sea.

Wang Lin sucked in a breath of cold air. From what he could see, Wang Wei’s strength was comparable to Qing Shui’s if his Ji Realm wasn’t included!

However, just as the raging sea arrived, the middle-aged man clad in armor took a step and arrived in the air.

“Just a small trick!” With a trace of bloodthirst and madness, the man raised his right hand and randomly waved. Large amounts of black gas suddenly came from his hand and immediately flooded the sky, covering the sea. The sea Wang Wei had created exploded into countless raindrops that scattered everywhere. It was as if Wang Wei’s spell was mere child’s play before this man!

“Teacher, disciple was late…” Wang Wei’s face was pale as he retreated hundreds of feet and arrived next to Zhou Yi. He looked at the middle-aged man with pain in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and revealed a determined gaze. Zhou Yi hadn’t recovered from injuring Master Void and was in danger here. Wang Wei waved his hand, and Zhou Yi naturally knew Wang Wei’s intent. Zhou Yi looked at Wang Lin before turning into a light and was put into Wang Wei’s bag.

In the sky, after Wang Wei’s sea was shattered, the All-Seer’s finger that seemed like it could support the heavens descended. It was filled with powerful origin energy, and it slowly descended from the sky. Although it looked slow, it was extremely fast.

The rumbling sounds echoed as if a hole was being opened in the sky by the finger. Even the black fog was pierced through as it came crashing down on the man below.

A strange whistling sound echoed, but before it could get close, the middle-aged man’s right hand reached out. With a bang, the finger began to collapse in the middle!

It was as if a power far stronger than this finger had broken it in half, causing the entire finger to break inch by inch.

The rumbling was heaven-shaking. The finger that made Wang Lin’s scalp tingle collapsed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

All of this happened in an instant. The moment the middle-aged man stepped out, both Wang Wei and the All-Seer’s spells collapsed.

However, the man in armor didn’t stop and took another step. He moved at an indescribable speed and immediately arrived before Ancient Demon Bei Lou. The eight stars in his left eye flashed as he raised his right hand and casually waved it at all the illusions summoned by the small flags.

The endless black fog covering the sky suddenly shrank and surrounded him and Bei Lou. All of this happened so fast that by the time people could react, they only saw black fog.

Waves of rumbles echoed inside the black fog. The black fog churned, and Bei Lou’s angry roars could be heard.

“Ta Jia, even though you’ve possessed Qing Lin’s body, if you don’t have enough time, you can’t possibly devour Qing Lin’s soul or display all of Qing Lin’s strength from back then!”

“So what!? It is enough to kill all of you!” A hoarse and gloomy voice came out along with spell fluctuations. When it landed in everyone’s ears, it was as if bones were being rubbed together. Everyone couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.

The All-Seer’s eyes revealed a strange light, then he unexpectedly charged into the black fog. The rumbling from the black fog became even louder. Wang Wei clenched his teeth and rushed into the black fog as well.

These three powerhouse had entered the black fog, and the heaven-shaking collisions of their spells echoed. There were also crazy fluctuations of origin energy and celestial spiritual energy that spread.

Master Void looked at the black fog with a serious expression, and the man in black beside him did the same. The old man on the gourd also hesitated and stopped at the edge of the black fog.

As for Ling Tianhou, he looked at the black fog with a gloomy expression.

Wang Lin immediately retreated without hesitation. Although he didn’t know everything that was going on, the man in the armor that had come out of the palace was the same person that interfered with his Nether Guide when he was inside bottle world and gave him the yellow crystal.

When Wang Wei shouted “Teacher,” it confirmed Wang Lin’s speculation. That person was the strongest person in the Celestial Realm, Celestial Emperor Qing Lin!

“Connecting all the information from before, the karma of everything is about to reveal itself!

“In the past, Celestial Emperor Qing Lin was seriously injured during the collapse of the Celestial Realm and was forced to go into closed door cultivation. However, Ancient Devil Ta Jia and Ancient Demon Bei Lou took this opportunity to ambush Qing Lin. They wanted to steal Qing Lin’s body to take his cultivation and memories.

“However, Qing Lin was very powerful, and even after being seriously injured, he was still incredibly powerful. Even with the ancient devil and ancient demon working together, they couldn’t completely defeat Qing Lin. Finally, Qing Lin came to the Celestial Spirit Heaven Realm, where their battle reached a peak.

“In that battle, Ancient Demon Bei Lou was split into nine parts by force. He had no choice but to become nine ancient demon spirits and hide himself for countless years in the Celestial Spirit Heaven Realm until he could reform.

“As for Ancient Devil Ta Jia, he was able to enter Qing Lin’s body, and he tried to take over. However, Qing Lin was able to arrive on the ninth floor of this cave. The moment he sat down, he used the 99 candles to resist the ancient devil!

“However, Ancient Devil Ta Jia was also a powerful being. He unexpectedly filled the entire cave with devilish energy and even caused some of Qing Lin’s guards to walk down the devil’s path. They eventually ended up under his command.

“As for the scattered devil that was out in the Demon Spirit Land and had the same body as Ling Tianhou, I fear there is something else behind that.” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. With his intelligence, he immediately had a rough idea of the situation inside the cave.

Just as hundreds of thoughts flashed through Wang Lin’s head while he was rapidly retreating, a deafening sound came from the black fog. Along with this sound, the black fog rapidly spread outwards.

Wang Wei’s body charged out from the expanding black fog. As he floated in the air, he coughed out a mouthful of blood and looked dispirited. However, the sadness on his face and the pain in his heart suppressed any injuries.

Just as Wang Wei was forced out, the black fog spreading out gathered and turned into a ray of black light that shot at Wang Wei. It was so fast that it immediately pierced through Wang Wei’s chest.

Large amounts of blood sprayed out from Wang Wei’s chest and then he fell from the sky. This change was so sudden that it caused everyone’s expressions to change greatly.

The man in black gasped before withdrawing all his greed and immediately retreating. Master Void was the same, but his eyes lit up, and as he retreated, he charged at the seriously injured Wang Wei.

“I’ll take this opportunity to end this person and resolve a bit of the hatred in my heart!”

Although Master Void was seriously injured, he was still at the Nirvana Shatterer stage. At this moment, he moved like lightning and appeared next to Wang Wei. He then raised his hand and mercilessly smashed down on Wang Wei’s head. He grinned and shouted, “Since you dared to help that little bastard, die!”

While Wang Lin retreated, he also saw Wang Wei get thrown away after being seriously injured. He immediately stopped and charged toward Wang Wei. However, he wasn’t as fast as Master Void, who had closed in on Wang Wei and had already lifted his hand. An earthy yellow glow appeared in Master Void’s right hand. His hand contained the peak power of an early stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator.

Just at this moment, Wang Lin didn’t have time to think. The ancient god furnace appeared around him. He pointed at Wang Wei and shouted, “Change positions!”

A light covered Wang Wei, and the moment Master Void’s hand smashed down, he disappeared and was replaced by Wang Lin!

Wang Lin’s right eye flashed blue the moment Master Void’s palm descended, and the azure light shield appeared between them. Master Void’s hand smashed into the shield.

The shield sank and pressed down on Wang Lin’s chest, causing him to cough out blood. His body was pushed back and his eyes became bloodshot, then he arrived next to the unconscious Wang Wei. He grabbed Wang Wei and retreated. As he did so, he reached into Wang Wei’s clothes to grab a pill. He then crushed the wax around the pill and threw it into Wang Wei’s mouth.

Chapter 1063 – Qing Lin’s Words Before Being Possessed

Master Void stared at Wang Lin. After being forced to suppress his anger for so long, he couldn’t hold it in anymore. At this moment, he forgot that he shouldn’t be losing his mind so easily with his cultivation level drop and charged at Wang Lin.

“Little bastard, I’m going to skin you alive today!”

Wang Lin quickly retreated and his eyes turned cold.

Just as Master Void chased after Wang Lin, the dark mist filled with spells suddenly expanded once more, and this time the All-Seer was thrown out. Although he looked pale, he wasn’t in a bad state. The moment he rushed out, the black fog turned into the black light that injured Wang Wei, and it charged at the All-Seer.

The All-Seer’s eyes lit up. He charged out and his right hand touched between his eyebrows. A ray of seven-colored light shot out from between his eyebrows and collided with the black light.

There was a bang when the seven-colored light and the black light collapsed. The All-Seer borrowed this force and retreated without hesitation.

This sudden change shook Master Void’s mind. However, it didn’t make him give up on killing Wang Lin; he actually moved even faster.

When the old man on the gourd saw that even the All-Seer was defeated, his face filled with horror. He retreated without hesitation, but he was too late.

The churning of the black fog reached a peak, and the earth-shattering rumbles continued. Then a muffled groan could be heard as Bei Lou was mercilessly thrown outside the black fog, and blood sprayed everywhere. The demonic energy around Bei Lou that was scattered quickly gathered. His eyes were filled with dense resentment.

Behind him, the black fog quickly contracted, and in an instant, the fog shrank back into the armored ancient devil.

The ancient devil’s right hand held a 30-feet-long black blade and moved forward. He wasn’t fast, but he wasn’t slow either. By his second step, he was already before the old man on the gourd.

The old man on the gourd revealed fear in his eyes and was about to retreat. However, just as he was about to retreat, the ancient devil stepped past him and the black blade casually swept by the old man.

An unimaginable sharp energy caused the old man’s expression to change greatly. Without time to think, the gourd under his feet blocked before him and his right palm hit the gourd.

However, just as a spell came from the gourd, the blade flashed by and the gourd made a crackling sound as it split in half. When the old man looked down, he was startled to find that his

body was already cut in half.

Even his origin soul didn’t have time to escape; it was destroyed by that blade while it was still in his body.

All of this happened in an instant. Ancient Devil Ta Jia didn’t pause after he passed by the old man on the gourd. The old man’s body suddenly collapsed…

This scene caused everyone to suck in a breath of cold air. The man in black was filled with even more fear and escaped even faster.

Drops of blood dripped from the blade. The ancient devil revealed a hideous expression and then chased after Bei Lou.

“Bei Lou, back then, I didn’t kill you because our ancestors were once the same clan but since you came looking for death this devil can only fulfill your wish!”

“Bullshit. Back then we had an agreement that I’d take the body and you’d take the memories. If you hadn’t backed out on our deal, that body would’ve been mine!” Bei Lou roared as he retreated.

The armored ancient devil revealed a smile of mockery as he held the blade and said, “It was just that I was a bit faster. If I acted later, then our positions would have switched!” As he spoke, he held the blade and slashed down at Bei Lou.

“Reveal your demon spirit form for this devil!”

A shockingly large blade appeared in the world; it was like a blade that could split the sky in half. When the ancient devil chopped down, a thunderous rumble could be heard.

A ray of blade energy hundreds of thousands of feet long suddenly appeared and mercilessly swept toward Bei Lou, causing his expression to change greatly. The blade was so fast that he didn’t have time to dodge before it landed on him.

The blade’s energy penetrated Bei Lou’s body and landed on the ground. A loud rumble came from the collapsing ground as a gully of unknown depth appeared.

Bei Lou’s body was split in half and collapsed into a pile of flesh and blood. However, as his body collapsed, a green demonic light flew out into the air and immediately turned into an ancient demon that was 1,000 feet tall!

This was Ancient Demon Bei Lou’s real body. As soon as he appeared, he retreated at a shocking speed. The ancient devil let out a cold snort and chased after with his blade. As for the others, he doesn’t consider them threats at all. Aside from the ancient demon, the only other person he had to pay attention to was the disgusting ancient god aura that he had noticed when he appeared.

While he chased Bei Lou, the ancient devil coldly looked at Wang Lin in the distance.

Wang Lin was moving as fast as he could to dodge the mad dog-like Master Void, but his speed was still far too slow compared to Master Void’s. At this moment of crisis, Wang Lin took out the tattoo clan’s Wither Tattoo and placed it on his body, making his speed immediately reach a peak.

“Go to where the palace was. My wife is there… She was awake before Master was possessed, so she must have gotten a message.” Wang Wei’s voice came from behind Wang Lin. His injuries had completely healed. After speaking, he left Wang Lin and charged at Master Void.

Wang Lin immediately changed directions without pausing. He arrived before the collapsed palace in a flash, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he found the unconscious Hu Juan.

When he got near Hu Juan, Wang Lin gathered some fire origin energy in his hand and pointed to between her eyebrows without hesitation. The fire origin energy swept through her body and awakened her.

“Senior, please quickly open the passage to leave this place!” Wang Lin didn’t have time to explain and quickly sent a message to Hu Juan when she awakened.

After Hu Juan awakened, there was a trace of confusion in her eyes, but she quickly recovered. She got up and both of her hands formed a seal, then she pointed at the sky. A rumble echoed across the sky and then six pillars of light came crashing down within 100 feet of Hu Juan.

In the distance, Wang Wei’s right hand formed a seal, creating a curtain of water that trapped Master Void. Killing intent appeared in his eyes, but this was obviously not the time to fight. He let out a cold snort and then the water trapping Master Void suddenly turned into countless swords and rapidly shrank. Without waiting for the result, Wang Wei immediately appeared next to Hu Juan and Wang Lin. The pillar of light flashed and the three of them immediately disappeared.

At the same time, the man in black also arrived in a panic. He charged into the pillars of light and disappeared.

Master Void’s body was surrounded by water swords. As they stabbed at him, he let out a roar and a storm of yellow soil appeared. There were sounds of collisions as he managed to block the attacks, but he coughed out blood. This made him shiver coldy, and it awakened him from his crazed state.

Everything that happened before would have looked incredible to other people. How could he have lost control of his killing intent and attacked at this moment of crisis? If he had been a bit careless, he would have died here.

Master Void’s eyes were filled with fear and bitterness. His body flickered and he charged directly at the pillars of light. As for the All-Seer, he unexpectedly disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone.

“Earlier, I noticed that I was losing control of myself, but now I’m certain… I didn’t think the first Heaven’s Blight would arrive so quickly…” Master Void rushed into the pillar of light and disappeared.

Ancient Demon Bei Lou, who was being chased by the ancient devil, let out angry roars. When he saw that the transfer array to exit this place had opened, he immediately rushed toward it without hesitation. However, just as he got close, the ancient devil chasing him revealed a bloodthirsty gaze. He let go of the blade in his hand and suddenly opened his arms.

“Devil Devours All Spirits!” As he shouted, the armor around the ancient devil released boundless black fog, and black fog suddenly filled the world once more. The black fog turned into a giant mount that attempted to ruthlessly devour the escaping Bei Lou.

Bei Lou let out a miserable groan before his body collapsed with a bang. Half of his body was devoured, and the remaining half turned into the size of an ordinary person. He then disappeared into the transfer array.

The black fog quickly absorbed half of Bei Lou’s spirit body. Then the fog wrapped around Ta Jia and turned into a dragon. It rushed at the transfer array and smashed toward the sky.

The sky was smashed open as he charged upwards.

“None of you can escape!!”

As for Wang Lin and the Celestial Cloud Couple, the three of them immediately appeared in the palace on the eighth floor. Hu Juan quickly said, “When Master talked to me earlier, he only said one sentence!

“Rain Celestial Realm Temple, Origin Soul Crystal, Qing Shuang’s blood!”

Wang Wei’s eyes narrowed. Before he could speak, the man in black and Master Void came from the transfer array. At the same time, Ancient Demon Bei Lou’s miserable spirit body also appeared.

Also, at this moment, the ground everyone was standing on collapsed. While the ground collapsed, strands of devilish energy came out from the cracks. When the ground completely collapsed, the dragon formed by devilish energy rushed out. It opened its mouth that could devour the world and attempted to devour everyone.

At this instant, Wang Lin was replaying the words Hu Juan just said in his mind. Qing Shuang’s blood… Qing Shuang’s blood!

The moment the devil dragon arrived, Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and the celestial pagoda appeared. With no time to care about how precious the celestial tower was, Wang hit it with his palm, causing it to collapse, and Qing Shuang’s body appeared before him.

“I’m sorry!” He secretly apologized to Zhou Yi. Wang Lin seized all the time he had as he stabbed Qing Shuang’s index finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. Then he immediately threw that drop of blood at the devil dragon before them!

Chapter 1064 – The Identity of the Man in Black

This insignificant drop of blood was thrown by Wang Lin at the black gas devil dragon that charged out from the collapsed ground.

The devil dragon opened its mouth, releasing large amounts of cold energy, and attempted to devour everyone. However, just at this moment, the drop of Qing Shuang’s blood touched a strand of black gas that came from the devil dragon.

In an instant, while everyone was dumbfounded, sizzling sounds came from the black fog. It was like splashing water on hot coal. As the sizzling sound echoed, the black fog unexpectedly dissipated as if it couldn’t withstand this drop of celestial blood.

The drop of blood penetrated the black fog and landed on the devil dragon’s head. The devil dragon suddenly paused, but that was immediately followed by a painful and angry roar!

As it roared, the devil dragon’s body twisted and swept the area, causing a loud rumble. As if a giant pair of hands was stirring up the place, all the buildings collapsed and the entire floor was in ruins.

Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he squeezed out more of Qing Shuang’s blood and mercilessly threw it. Then he waved his hand and the powerful origin energy in his body rushed out. The blood immediately exploded into a blood mist that shot forward.

The blood mist immediately touched the devil dragon. After coming into contact the blood again, the devil dragon struggled even more intensely. Roars continued to echo, and the devil dragon’s body rapidly contracted. It was like a whirlwind, and after all the black fog withdrew, the ancient devil appeared before everyone.

The black armor was now stained with several drops of blood. It released strands of red gas that lingered around the ancient devil.

No matter how the ancient devil waved his hands, he couldn’t expel it. Even when he tried to wipe it, his hand went through it as if it wasn’t even there.

“Qing Lin, is this the plan you came up with to resist me after countless years of scheming? If whoever occupies your body attempts to kill your descendant, all spells become useless. Your spells have no effect and your body is restrained by the blood of your descendant!!!

“This is no longer changing laws, but creating laws! You’re so powerful, Qing Lin!” The ancient devil had a hideous expression as he charged at Wang Lin.

“This devil wants to see how the mere blood of a body can make me yield!” the ancient devil yelled as his right hand reached out. The black blade suddenly appeared in his hand and he slashed at Wang Lin.

“I can’t kill Qing Lin’s descendant, but I can kill you, you puny ancient god!”

Wang Lin’s expression turned pale. This blade energy was huge, and not even the old man on the gourd could escape it. Wang Lin’s mind was extremely clear as the ancient god furnace appeared around him and he pointed at the man in black who was watching from a distance.

He didn’t choose Master Void because it was a moment of danger, and so he absolutely had to to succeed. Although Master Void was seriously injured, he was still at the Nirvana Shatterer stage, so Wang Lin wasn’t confident!

The man in black’s expression changed greatly when he felt a light surround him. The blade energy came so close that Wang Lin could even feel the oppressive sharpness coming from it.

“Change positions!” Wang Lin yelled, and the light around the furnace reached a peak. The man in black’s eyes were filled with terror, and just as he was about to be transferred, he no longer cared about hiding his identity. The fire dragon mark appeared between his eyebrows and directly charged out, turning into a fire dragon covered in flames.

The moment the fire dragon appeared, it let out a roar and surrounded the man in black in an attempt to resist the power of the ancient god furnace.

As a result, there was a force to resist it. With this hindrance, the blade closed in and passed through Qing Shuang. Due to the law Qing Lin created, the blade energy did no harm to Qing Shuang and landed directly on Wang Lin.

If this blade energy landed, even Wang Lin’s ancient god body would be split in half. After all, he was only a 5-star ancient god!

The moment the blade energy descended, Wang Lin’s right eye shined blue and the azure light shield appeared and collided with the blade energy.

There was a heaven-shaking bang, and a crack appeared in the middle of the azure light shield. Although it didn’t break, it was damaged.

Although Wang Lin hadn’t had it for long, it had been able to resist all attacks so far. Even someone as powerful as Master Void could only push it back and not cause it to crack.

More and more cracks appeared on the azure light shield. Wang Lin took this moment to retreat with Qing Shuang’s body, but no matter how much he ran, he couldn’t escape the blade energy.

Cold sweat came from his forehead, but the moment it appeared, it turned into ice crystals due to the chill from the blade energy. At this moment of life and death, Wang Lin no longer cared about hiding his identity, and he let out a roar. The five ancient god stars between his eyebrows shined brightly and rotated until it looked like a vortex had appeared between his eyebrows.

Powerful ancient god power filled his body and rushed into the ancient god furnace. This caused the light around the ancient god furnace to become even brighter, and it lit up the entire world.

“Transform, change position!” Wang Lin roared, his voice even became a bit hoarse during the roar. When it landed in people’s ears, they felt as if their minds were being torn.

As he let out that heart-wrenching roar, the fire dragon around the man in black seemed unable to withstand the sudden increase in power form the light. The man in black quickly retreated and fled.

However, before he could escape, light filled his body and he disappeared. At the moment the azure light shield seemed like it couldn’t withstand the blade energy anymore, Wang Lin also disappeared.

When Wang Lin reappeared, he was where the man in black was, and the man in black appeared before the blade energy.

The moment man in black appeared, his eyes were filled with blade energy and the blade energy swept by. Popping sounds came from his body and then it was split in half.

However, when his body shattered, his origin soul escaped with the help of the fire dragon. His origin soul was bleak and his eyes were filled with fear.

However, the danger wasn’t over yet. The blade energy that destroyed his body shot straight after his origin soul. The blade energy was about to penetrate his origin soul.

The man in black quickly spread out a divine sense message filled with anxiety and horror. “Lord Ancient Devil, I’m the Supreme’s seventh disciple, Lou Hou!”

The moment the man in black sent out the message, the blade energy suddenly moved to the side and bypassed the man in black before going after Wang Lin once more.

All of this happened in an extremely short period of time. Wang Wei and Hu Juan both moved and used spells at the same time to resist the blade energy chasing Wang Lin.

Wang Lin had survived through luck, but he revealed a ferocious expression as he stared at the ancient devil.

Ancient Devil Ta Jia stepped out, but he didn’t go toward Wang Lin and instead arrived next to the origin soul of man in black. After grabbing the origin soul, he stepped out once more and arrived next to Wang Wei and Hu Juan, who were resisting the blade energy.

The moment Ancient Devil Ta Jia closed closed in, he opened his mouth and let out a roar!

Roar!

The roars of the people of the Ancient Order were all powerful, but, like spells, they contained different abilities. Although the roar of an ancient devil wasn’t as strong as an ancient god’s roar, it created a devilish sound that would invade the mind.

As he roared, a giant black shadow with a single horn appeared behind Ancient Devil Ta Jia. This giant shadow was like the source of all devils. As Ta Jia roared, his shadow also opened its mouth and let out a roar.

Hu Juan’s body trembled and she immediately coughed out blood. Wang Wei also coughed out blood and became dispirited. However, he clenched his teeth, grabbed Hu Juan, and retreated. His hand formed seals and countless pillars of water appeared before him like crazy.

At this moment of crisis, Wang Wei was going all out. The water pillars appeared one after another, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of water pillars appeared.

However, before Ancient Devil Ta Jia, this was all child’s play. With a roar, all of the water pillars collapsed. As the water pillars continued to collapse, Wang Wei and Hu Juan coughed out more blood, and they charged toward Wang Lin.

With a pale face, Hu Juan’s hands quickly formed seals, creating restrictions that fused with the water pillars. However, the water pillars continued to collapse due to Ancient Devil Ta Jia’s roar.

If the two of them were like this, there was no need to talk about Master Void. He immediately coughed out blood and his eyes became bleak. He quickly retreated and his hand formed a seal, causing countless grains of yellow sand to surround him. However, just as the sand appeared and before they could form a shield, it collapsed. All of the sand was blown into Master Void’s body, throwing him back and causing blood to spray from his body.

Only Bei Lou was barely able to withstand it. As he was a member of the Ancient Order, he only retreated.

As for Wang Lin, popping sounds came from his body under power of the roar of Ancient Devil Ta Jia. He coughed out blood, but his expression became even more ferocious.

Roar!

Wang Lin also let our a roar of anger with a ferocious expression. This was the roar of an ancient god. Wang Lin’s body grew like crazy, and at this moment, he could no longer be concerned with hiding his status as an ancient god. His body grew to thousands of feet tall, looking as if he could support the world!

Five stars rapidly rotated between his eyebrows and bursts of ancient god energy surrounded him. What was more bizzare was that the Vermillion Bird tattoo seemed to have fused with him, so it grew along with his ancient god body. It was like fresh blood had imprinted on his upper body, and the tail spread across Wang Lin’s face. At this moment, Wang Lin looked like an ancient god and a Vermillion Bird!

Chapter 1065 – The Three Ancient Order Clans Reunite

After transforming into his true ancient god body, Wang Lin let out a roar. The roar formed a storm that silently collided with the roar of the ancient devil.

At the same time, the escaping Ancient Demon Bei Lou suddenly stopped, and his eyes revealed a trace of crazy demonic light.

“Today, all three Ancient Order clans are in the same place. What a spectacular view. I’m in a sorry state for an ancient demon!” Bei Lou’s body flashed and immediately grew. The 7-star ancient demon’s body was thousands of feet tall, almost as tall as Wang Lin’s ancient god body.

At this instant, the battle no longer belonged to the cultivators, but to the three Ancient Order clans that had existed since ancient times!

After Bei Lou transformed into his ancient demon body, he let out the roar of an ancient demon. It created an intangible force that joined with Wang Lin’s roar and swept toward Ancient Devil Ta Jia.

“He is unexpectedly a royal ancient god!!” Ancient Devil Ta Jia stared at Wang Lin. He clearly saw a trace of gold within the five stars between Wang Lin’s eyebrows.

This trace of gold meant the royal bloodline!

The angry roars of the three Ancient Order clans created an indescribable storm. It swept across the eighth floor and caused all the surrounding buildings to collapse. Even the sky seemed like it was about to collapse, as fine cracks appeared and bursts of hot gas filled the area.

Ancient Demon Bei Lou took a step and shouted, “Ancient god, do you dare to fight this ancient devil with me!?”

Wang Lin’s right hand reached out at the void before him, causing a large rift to appear. Purple lightning came out of the crack, and he dragged out the 1,000-feet-long God Slaying Spear. He grabbed the spear and shouted, “Why would I not dare!?”

Ancient Demon Bei Lou laughed as his right hand also reached at the void. A large flag immediately appeared, and it seemed to cover the world. It flew directly at the ancient devil.

Wang Lin took a step and charged at the ancient devil.

The ancient devil’s eyes revealed mockery as he raised the blade in his hand. Monstrous blade energy appeared behind him and he smiled. “A mere 5-star ancient god and a 7-star ancient demon dare to fight me?”

As he laughed, the heaven-shaking blade energy shot forward. There were only two rays of blade energy. One swept through the sky and the other swept just above the earth. This represented the sky and the earth. Once they crossed, they would create a destructive force.

Ancient Demon Bei Lou waved his right hand and endless demonic energy came from the 1,000 foot flag and shot at the blade energy in the sky. Demonic energy erupted from his body, and it was an earth-shaking sight to behold.

Wang Lin threw the God Slaying Spear in his hand, and the purple lightning filled the world. The God Slaying Spear was covered in purple lightning when it collided with the blade energy on the ground.

Rumbling sounds suddenly echoed and a powerful shockwave to sweep the area when the blade energy on the ground and the God Slaying Spear collided. The earth completely collapsed and there was no longer a ninth floor in his cave; just the eighth floor that was connected to the ninth floor!

Wang Lin’s ancient god boy felt an unimaginable impact during this collision, and popping sounds came from his body. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and the ancient god stars between his eyebrows dimmed.

In the sky, the ancient demon’s flag collided with the blade energy and a shocking impact spread. Even more cracks appeared in the sky due to this impact, and a blood red light came through the cracks. At this moment, it felt as if the sky could collapse with a single touch.

“Wang Lin, we need to go all out with him; otherwise, none of us will escape this Celestial Emperor Cave!” As Ancient Demon Bei Lou roared, he took a step and charged at the ancient devil. However, his body suddenly began to retreat. It was so fast that he left an afterimage, and he rushed at the cracked sky.

However, although Ancient Demon Bei Lou was fast, Wang Lin was even faster. The moment Ancient Demon Bei Lou roared, Wang Lin also grabbed Wang Wei and Hu Juan before charging at the sky. He was a bit faster than Bei Lou as he punched the sky.

The sky was already extremely fragile, and now it was smashed open by Wang Lin’s punch. It completely cracked and the sky disintegrated!

The moment the sky collapsed, endless magma fell like rain. Wang Lin’s body rushed into the magma and charged straight up.

The ancient devil cursed, but he didn’t slow down and charged straight up.

Master Void had cultivated for many years. Although his mind was affected due to the early arrival of the first Heaven’s Blight, it was unprecedentedly clear at this moment. The moment the sky collapsed, he coughed out blood and used the blood escape to charge into the magma. He disregarded the high temperature of the magma and the newly inflicted injuries caused by the battle between the three members of the Ancient Order clan. As he rushed into the magma, he also didn’t have time to think about finding trouble for Wang Lin, as he was focused on escaping this place.

Along the way, his injuries became worse, and at this moment, his cultivation level fell from Nirvana Shatterer to peak Nirvana Cleanser. A dense feeling of unease enveloped his mind, making the once powerful Master Void look like a stray god.

When Wang Lin charged into the seventh floor, endless lava rushed toward his face. His body quickly shrank back into his ordinary body. His face was pale as he coughed out a mouthful of blood and bursts of pain came from his body. He couldn’t help but slow down a bit due to this. Even though he had transformed into his ancient god body, he was still seriously injured by that blade energy despite the fact that he had the God Slaying Spear.

However, if he hadn’t done it, then it would’ve been impossible for Wang Wei or Hu Juan to escape. Even he himself wouldn’t have had the chance to escape to the seventh floor. After all, Wang Lin was only at the peak of the Nirvana Scryer stage.

Just at this moment, Hu Juan grabbed Wang Lin and Wang Wei and flew straight up. She also devoured the only green pill she had. Now that she had recovered, she quickly moved through the magma with Wang Lin and Wang Wei.

The magma continued to moved into Wang Lin’s body and shook his spirit a bit. He quickly sent out a message, saying, “Seniors, go first. I found a fire spirit here before and may be able to use it to stop the ancient devil a bit!”

Hu Juan revealed a hint of hesitation. If it was before, no matter how much she and Wang Wei admired Wang Lin, she wouldn’t have hesitated. However, Wang Lin had just saved her and her husband, and this was very important to her. She didn’t even know that Wang Lin had saved Wang Wei from Master Void’s sneak attack. This kind of kindness needed to be repaid.

“You..” Hu Juan looked at Wang Wei, who had helped her block the blade energy and then was seriously injured by the ancient devil’s roar. There was struggle in her eyes. Right now, Wang Wei needed urgent care, and Hu Juan didn’t have time to wait.

“Senior can rest assured!” Wang Lin left Hu Juan and charged into the depths of the magma in the seventh floor. Hu Juan clenched her teeth as she took Wang Wei and disappeared.

After Hu Juan left, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. He was so desperate to make Wang Wei and Hu Juan owe him. As long as the two of them were grateful, then even if Qing Lin doesn’t awaken, they would help with Situ Nan’s matter. Also, their treatment of Zhou Yi would be vastly different due to his kindness.

Inside the magma, Wang Lin mercilessly absorbed without hesitation. The magma seemed to flow in reverse as the fire origin energy entered Wang Lin’s body like crazy. The energy flowed through his meridians, causing his seriously injured body to recover a bit.

Wang Lin wasn’t being careful like he was when he absorbing before; right now he was extremely reckless. The Vermillion Bird on his body appeared around him, and as a result, the fire origin energy inside the magma surged at them. As the fire origin energy surged toward Wang Lin, large amounts of magma fell from the seventh floor to the eighth floor. Ancient Demon Bei Lou and Master Void charged into the magma with Ancient Devil Ta Jia chasing behind. At this moment, all of this, along with Wang Lin frantically stirring up the fire origin energy in the magma, caused all the magma inside the volcano to begin collapsing.

Just at this moment, a heaven-shaking roar that shook the magma came from the depths of the volcano. A giant dragon head arose in the magma. At this moment, all of the magma Wang Lin hadn’t absorbed or had fallen into the eighth floor began to move as if it had intelligence. It all charged at the dragon.

In the blink of an eye, all the magma in the seventh floor disappeared, leaving behind an indescribably large fire dragon that stared at all the creatures below it.

At the same time, in the boundless space where the speck of dust where the Demon Spirit Land was, there was fire burning in the horizon. A giant Vermillion Bird letting out Vermillion Bird cries slowly closed in.

This Vermillion Bird had intelligence. It unexpectedly didn’t go to the entrance at the East Demon Spirit Sea, but to the true location of the Demon Spirit Land!

There were large amount of cultivators behind this Vermillion Bird, and among them were six elders. These six elders all wore red robes, and each one of them gave off a powerful aura. They were all Nirvana Shatterer cultivators!

“According to the search with the true spirit, this is where the person who has awaken is, and this is also the location of that mysterious sense of danger. This trip might be extremely dangerous, but even if I risk it all, I must protect the person who awakened!” The six elders looked at each other and saw the determination in each other’s eyes. All the other members of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect revealed determined gazes!

At the same time, a majestic voice came from the planet above the vortex in the Cultivation Alliance headquarters.

“Suspend the battle with Allheaven. Send all forces to where Qing Lin’s cave is!”

The moment this voice echoed, Qing Shui’s body appeared outside the Alliance Headquarters. He stared at the Alliance Headquarters and the red Ji Realm shined in his eye.

Chapter 1066

At the same time, inside the Brilliant Void Realm, the old man who noticed Wang Lin before revealed a complex expression. He shook his head as he stepped forward, and his gaze fell on the indifferent Brilliant Void Saintess, Mu Bingmei.

“Your ninth avatar was destroyed due to a calamity. Why do you still hide even though the calamity has arrived?”

The beautiful woman with the cold expression lowered her head and pondered.

“Since that ninth avatar was destroyed because of him, no matter how much you avoid it, you still have to face it in the end.… When you saved that little girl, Zhou Ru, this old man already knew that your mind was a mess due to the ninth avatar.” The old man let out a sigh as he looked up at the void.

“Remember, you are the Brilliant Void Saintess, Mu Bingmei, not Liu Mei from planet Suzaku, who had a son with an ordinary cultivator! You are responsible for carrying out the mission of the Brilliant Void Realm and responsible for defending against the people from outside the sealed realm. The boundary between the inner and outer realms will open soon…”

“He is not an ordinary cultivator…” Before the old man could finish, the indifferent woman lifted her head and calmly spoke. Her beautiful face was enough to make anyone’s heart pound and be willing to do anything for her.

“You… Are you still stubbornly indulging yourself in that illusion!?” The old man frowned.

“I’m just telling you that he is not an ordinary cultivator!” The indifferent woman’s voice was still calm, but her tone was slightly heavier.

“Fine. Even if he isn’t an ordinary cultivator, even though his mind was able to enter here through some unknown method, even if he reaches the peak of the second step, so what?” The old man revealed a look of disdain.

“In the end, he is still just a cultivator!”

This old man didn’t know that this little cultivator he spoke of was someone who had survived the Vermillion Bird awakening, and the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect would protect him with all their might. He also didn’t know that this little cultivator had the blood of an ancient god. This wasn’t power he had inherited; he had gained it after his own body collapsed, and he reformed it based on Tu Si’s memories. This body was the root of his bloodline.

He also didn’t know that this little cultivator had the heaven defying bead…

The beautiful woman looked at the old man and calmly said, “You were once only a cultivator.”

The old man revealed a bitter smile and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“You can rest assured. I won’t evade the responsibility of the Brilliant Void Realm as the Brilliant Void Saintess. However, you can’t interfere in my private affairs, and you don’t have the right to interfere. I don’t need anyone else to get involved in the matter between us!” The beautiful woman’s voice was resolute, and she refused to compromise.

The old man let out a sigh and didn’t continue this topic. He looked at the sky and said, “My old friend’s body has been possessed, so I’m going on a trip. Are you going as well?”

The beautiful woman pondered a bit and revealed a complex expression. However, in the end, she became determined and nodded. “I’ll go!”

Inside the seventh floor of the Celestial Emperor Cave, all of the magma had condensed into a fire dragon. The fire dragon lifted its head and stared at everyone below it. An invisible pressure suddenly spread.

Two strands of heat waves came out of the fire dragon’s nose along with this pressure. The two giant dragon horns were red and gave off intense temperatures.

Its python-like body was coiled up, giving the dragon an aura that made it seem like it looked down upon the world.

Its angry gaze swept through the people below and locked onto Wang Lin. He could feel a hint of familiar aura from Wang Lin’s small and weak body. This was the aura of fire origin energy.

Wang Lin’s mind trembled when the fire dragon looked at him. He didn’t bow his head but slowly retreated. The dragon quickly withdrew its gaze and stared at Master Void, Ancient Demon Bei Lou, and Ancient Devil Ta Jia. It let out a roar and charged at the three of them.

Wang Lin let out a sigh of relief and rapidly retreated. When his divine sense spread out, he saw that the seventh floor had become a sea of flames when the fire dragon roared. As the dense fire burned, Ancient Demon Bei Lou’s eyes lit up and he unexpectedly stopped escaping. He turned around and his hand formed a seal. A giant green demon head appeared behind him and charged at the ancient devil.

Master Void’s hand formed a seal and formed a storm of yellow sand, creating a 100 foot barrier around him, blocking the flames. However, with his current cultivation level, he couldn’t hold the fire off for long. When the sand came into contact with the flames, there were popping sounds, and the sand cracked and collapsed.

As for Ancient Devil Ta Jia, his eyes became cold, and he was filled with bloodthirst. With a step, he let out a hoarse laugh. “Why did you stop running? A mere fire dragon spirit that was only a guard dares to bite its master?”

As the ancient devil spoke, his hand formed a seal and pointed. He shouted, “Let me show you Qing Lin’s spell. Burn the Heavens!”

After he spoke, a black devilish flame appeared where he pointed. The devilish flame immediately began to spread and intense temperatures filled the seventh floor.

Even the sky was shrouded by the devilish flames. In an instant, the sky was black because it was covered in these devilish flames. Not only could it burn everything, but the invading devilish energy could cause your origin soul to collapse.

In an instant, the devilish flames covered the sky and the fire dragon let out a roar. Flames came from its body like crazy in order to fight the black flames in the sky. The entire seventh floor shook as the fire dragon’s giant body rushed at the ancient devil.

The ancient devil revealed a sneer as his right hand pointed at the fire dragon. All of the devilish flames in the sky descended like meteors and surrounded the fire dragon.

This scene was heaven-shaking. In an instant, the devilish flames fell and covered the fire dragon. At this moment, it looked as if the fire dragon was giving off monstrous devilish energy.

Waves of angry and painful roars echoed from the fire dragon, and it struggle to charge at the ancient devil. However, when it got close, Ta Jia’s right hand pressed down, creating an invisible force. When the fire dragon was within 100 feet of him, Ta Jia caught the fire dragon.

No matter how much the fire dragon struggled and roared, it couldn’t escape. This made Ancient Demon Bei Lou suck in a breath of cold air.

“You can use Qing Lin’s avatar and the invisible force in his body!” Bei Lou was aghast at the situation. He clearly knew that it meant Ancient Devil Ta Jia’s possession had become one with the mind.

Ancient Demon Bei Lou gave up all intentions of attacking, a bitter feeling arising in his heart. He understood that with his own strength, even if he got everyone else to help, they no longer had the power to change the fact Qing Lin’s body had been possessed.

”This devil was willing to pay any price and fought with Qing Lin inside his body for countless years. All of this was for Qing Lin’s memories and his cultivation, but more importantly, it was for this body!” The ancient devil held the fire dragon as it moved forward, and arrogant laughter came from his mouth.

“Ancient demon, you and I were great enemies in the outside realm, but now you are a mere ant before me. Once this devil completely takes over Qing Lin’s body, I’ll own the body Qing Lin has refined for countless years. A body that can break all laws. A body that can enter any place!

“With this body, I can retrace the footsteps of my ancestors and become a 9-star ancient devil. Once I reach 9-stars, I’ll be able to enter the ancient devil tower ruin and obtain the true power of the ancestors!”

Ancient Devil Ta Jia’s mad laughter echoed. The fire dragon struggled to retreat. However, it was thrown aside by Ta Jia.

“Qing Lin’s spell, Burn the Heavens, Boil the Oceans!” The devilish flame in Ta Jia’s eyes suddenly moved and the seventh floor was filled with devilish energy. This devilish energy was so dense, it seemed like it was corporeal. Then, in the blink of an eye, it turned into a devilish ocean.

As the waves raged, Wang Lin’s eyes were filled with shock and he was trapped inside the ocean. Not just him, but Master Void was also trapped inside the ocean. Even Ancient Demon Bei Lou couldn’t escape.

In the distance, the fire dragon was roaring inside the ocean, but there was fear in its eyes.

As Ancient Devil Ta Jia spoke, the ocean formed by the devilish energy began to boil. Devilish gas floated into the air and bubbles appeared in the raging ocean due to it reaching an unimaginable temperature.

This Burn the Heavens, Boil the Oceans was going to boil the ocean until it dissipated completely. This also made it impossible for the people trapped inside to struggle.

During his brief contact with Ta Jia, Wang Lin found that as time passed, Ta Jia became even more powerful. Back on the ninth floor, Ta Jia would’ve found it difficult to use these spells, but now he was able to use the Celestial Emperor’s spells.

Thinking about Celestial Emperor Qing Lin’s countless spells, Wang Lin’s scalp felt numb. However, right now was not the time to think about it, as the ocean waves raged. The devilish flames in the sky continued to descend and large amounts of water vapor appeared.

In the distance, Master Void revealed a miserable smile when he saw the ocean that wanted to boil them alive shrink and the fire from the sky close in. He hit his forehead with his palm and his body collapsed!

A crazy shockwave spread out from this collapse, and it created a whirlpool in the ocean. It also pushed the descending devilish flames away.

The moment his body exploded, Master Void’s origin soul charged out.

Chapter 1067

“This crisis is too dangerous. This old man would rather risk facing the first Heaven’s Blight than be boiled alive here!” The moment Master Void’s origin soul flew out, he opened his arms, and his eyes revealed a decisive gaze.

As his arms opened, outside the cave and outside the Demon Spirit Land in the boundless space where the Vermillion Bird spirit was, five stars emitted an indescribable light.

As this light shined, it diffused across the entire star system. As long as one was in the Alliance Star System, one could see that five stars had appeared in the sky.

Whether it was day or night, the light from the five stars could be seen everywhere. Then one of the stars shined brightly and covered up the remaining four stars. Then, when the light reached its peak, the star suddenly fell into the void.

The old man from the Brilliant Void Realm and the beautiful woman were moving through the stars. As they moved forward, the old man raised his head and calmly muttered, “Someone is experiencing their first Heaven’s Blight…”

The most bright of the five stars fell. It was extremely fast, far faster than any cultivator. In an instant, the bright star passed the Vermillion Bird spirit, and a loud rumble echoed when it disappeared into a speck of dust.

After piercing through the dust, it entered the Demon Spirit Land and caused the devilish energy shrouding the Demon Spirit Land to be pushed back. The star penetrated into the earth and charged through six floors of the Celestial Emperor Cave before landing on Master Void’s origin soul within the boiling ocean.

At this instant Master Void’s cultivation level increased like crazy, but he revealed a painful expression and began to scream. By borrowing the power of the first Heaven’s Blight, Master Void unexpectedly broke through the devilish flames in the sky and charged up.

His origin soul was rapidly dissipating under the light of the star. For a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, this was just the start of the first Heaven’s Blight.

Ancient Devil Ta Jia was going to reach out toward Master Void, but his eyes lit up and he lowered his hand.

“He’s experiencing his first Heaven’s Blight while seriously injured. If he doesn’t die, he could become one of my scattered devils…”

At this moment, Bei Lou, Wang Lin, and the dragon that was still trapped inside the boiling ocean had reached a critical moment. The Celestial Emperor’s spell and the monstrous devilish flame had reached a frightening degree.

The ocean level reduced rapidly and the temperature increased greatly. Even with Wing Lin’s Vermillion Bird and ancient god body, he felt the pain from the heat. However, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t charge out.

The devilish flames had descended into the ocean, which caused this spell to reach a peak.

Wang Lin’s eyes became anxious. The intense heat entered his body, making him feel as if he was being cooked alive, and made his body limp. At this moment of crisis, Wang Lin revealed a bitter expression. He had rarely been wrong in his life, but he had to admit he had calculated wrong this time.

If he had left with Hu Juan and Wang Wei, he wouldn’t have been in such danger. However, even so, they still wouldn’t have been able to escape from here. The terrifying Ancient Devil Ta Jia would’ve eventually caught up and they would’ve still had to face him.

No matter what, the ending was the same. Wang Lin had been through danger throughout his life, whether it was facing the Blood Ancestor, the Yao family’s pursuit, or the Land of the Ancient God when he was at the Core Formation stage. None of those times had made Wang Lin yield, and he didn’t want to yield now either; however, reality was cruel.

However, all of this wasn’t enough to make Wang Lin’s dao heart collapse or give up. Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. He still had the heaven defying bead! He still had source origin!

At this moment, the ocean had almost completely dissipated, leaving only the devilish flames. It seemed to want to burn all life within it to death.

The fire dragon was weak, and its body continued to shrink. Even it couldn’t withstand the devilish flames.

Bei Lou’s body was surrounded by monstrous demonic energy, but this was all futile.

The mad laugh of the ancient devil echoed as he stared at the devilish flames. On his shoulder sat a small person. It was the origin soul of the man in black that had shrunken to sit there.

A flame dragon circled the man in black. As he stared at the fire dragon, his eyes were filled with greed.

“This fire spirit dragon was refined by Qing Lin and is extremely loyal to Qing Lin. With its intelligence, it can obviously tell I’m not Qing Lin. Lou Hou, since you are the Supreme’s disciple, I’ll gift it to you to devour!” Ta Jia’s voice was calm as he grabbed the origin soul of the man in black and threw it forward.

The origin soul turned into a dragon and greedily charged at the weakened fire dragon within the devilish flames.

“Many thanks, Lord Ancient Devil!” The man in black sent out a message filled with joy and then charged at the fire dragon. However, at this moment, the fire dragon raised its head and revealed an unyielding arrogance. It let out a roar that turned into sonic booms that echoed in the devilish flames. It even caused the devilish flames to pause for a moment.

The dragon formed by the man in black suddenly stopped and retreated, but the greed in his eyes increased! He was in no rush, and he believed that this fire dragon wouldn’t last long under Ancient Devil Ta Jia’s spell.

With greed in his eyes, the man in black’s origin soul looked at the struggling Wang Lin. His eyes revealed a strange light.

“His Vermillion Bird is also mine!”

Just at this instant, a scene that shocked the man in black occured. He saw the fire dragon suddenly struggle to move its body. Its giant body shrank until it was only 100 feet long and charged at Wang Lin.

Its dragon eyes revealed determination and an intent to die!

It would rather die than let the man in black devour it. If it had to die, then it’d rather choose this person, because it could at least feel a hint of familiarity from this person!

This scene was outside of the expectations of the man in black. The fire dragon was so fast that before the man in black could react, it was already near Wang Lin.

The moment Wang Lin opened his eyes, the fire dragon let out its last roar and charged into the spot between Wang Lin’s eyebrows. Endless fire origin energy entered Wang Lin’s body and made its way into his origin soul. The Vermillion Bird tattoo that had weakened suddenly awakened as if new power had been injected into it and let out a Vermillion Bird cry!

Although the fire origin energy inside the fire dragon was different from the fire of the Vermillion Bird, the source was still fire of the heavens. When the fire dragon rushed into Wang Lin, it caused the fire origin energy in his body to increase greatly. Moreover, the fusion of these two different types of flames caused an unexpected change!

The Vermillion Bird moved within this storm and the shadow of a dragon. The storm reached a peak and unexpectedly even absorbed the devilish flames that were burning the world.

As it absorbed like crazy, the storm formed a powerful vortex that had a terrifying suction force. This all happened in an instant, and even Ancient Devil Ta Jia was startled.

The man in black was aghast at the situation. He no longer had any thought of devouring and wanted to retreat. However, he was too close, so the moment he tried to retreat, he was pulled in by the vortex.

The ancient devil frowned as he raised his right hand and grabbed the man in black’s origin soul. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Ancient Demon Bei Lou’s eyes lit up.

He had already given up, but he didn’t think that such an unexpected mutation would occur after Wang Lin absorbed the fire dragon. He could clearly see that within the vortex, a white fire was condensing like crazy inside Wang Lin’s body.

“Source origin fire seed!” At this moment, even with his identity as an ancient demon, Bei Lou sucked in a breath of cold air. His desperation suddenly disappeared and he saw a chance to escape.

“Just a trace more and he will be able to completely condense that fire seed. Once that fire seed forms, he will be able to control all the flames in the world. Although there is a hint of will inside these flames, Ta Jia’s possession isn’t complete, so there is still a chance!”

Various thoughts flashed through Bei Lou’s mind. Just as Ancient Devil Ta Jia was about to pull the man in black’s origin soul back, Bei Lou clenched his teeth. The seven stars in his right eye rotated rapidly and then one of them suddenly collapsed!

Ancient demon shattered star!

The collapse of an ancient demon star allowed a powerful surge of demonic energy to enter Bei Lou’s body, allowing him to struggle. Although it was not enough for him to escape or charge out from the burning flames, it was enough for him to use spells.

His right eye shined once more and another ancient demon star collapsed. With two stars shattered, Ancient Demon Bei Lou’s body suddenly magnified, and he charged forward at the man in black’s origin soul that was about to be saved by Ta Jia. Bei Lou’s body turned into a whirlwind of demonic energy and smashed into Ta Jia’s arm.

Chapter 1068

There was a loud bang as Ancient Demon Bei Lou’s body lost a lot of demonic energy, and he became even weaker. However, this made it so the man in black’s origin soul was no longer in the ancient devil’s grasp.

Terrified, the man in black’s origin soul was about to escape once more, but Wang Lin’s right hand reached out from the vortex and grabbed him. He was about to resist, but endless flames came from Wang Lin and wrapped around him. Then Wang Lin dragged his origin soul into the vortex.

Inside the vortex, killing intent appeared in Wang Lin’s eyes, and he devoured the man in black’s origin soul without hesitation!

The moment Wang Lin devoured the man in black’s origin soul, an explosion occurred in his body. Absorbing the fire dragon, devouring the main in black’s flame dragon, and his own Vermillion Bird meant that three types of flames were inside Wang Lin’s body. The fire origin energy in his body reached a new height, and as the heat increased, a fire seed the size of a fingernail was formed in his dantian.

The moment the fire seed appeared, all of the devilish flames in the seventh floor paused for a moment and unexpectedly charged at the vortex Wang Lin was in. It was very fast, and in an instant, almost all of it went into the vortex.

Devilish flames, fire dragon, and flame dragon, these three kinds of fire energy fused with the Vermillion Bird. The Vermillion Bird was the main energy and the other three were secondary when the mutation of flames occurred. However, this wasn’t important. After this great fortune, Wang Lin’s Vermillion Bird unexpectedly showed signs of a second awakening!

In the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect, the number of awakenings determined the peak of one’s cultivation level, and this was key for them to become the Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor!

In the long history of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect, if multiple people had one awakening, then they would fight it out. The winner would become the divine emperor and the losers would become elders.

However, if there was a person among them who had achieved a second awakening, there was no need to fight. The Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor would definitely be this person!

As for the third awakening… It had never happened in the long history of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect…

Right now, the vortex around Wang Lin became monstrous, as if it could support the world. As it continued to absorb, a firestorm came out from the vortex and an indescribable firestorm charged out from the volcano. Cracking sounds came from the mouth of the volcano when the firestorm erupted, then countless pieces of rock fell and the volcano collapsed completely.

As it collapsed, the huge firestorm charged up into the sky, and the intense heat collided with the sky. This caused a hole to punch right through from the seventh floor to the sixth floor.

The sixth floor immediately appeared before everyone. The girl in pink and the beautiful woman were in the sixth floor. Both were in the main hall when they felt the ground take. To their horror, they saw the ground collapse, and all the buildings and the countless restrictions inside all shattered.

This looked like the end of the world!

However, the firestorm didn’t stop; it continued to charge up. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the fifth floor, and the entire fifth floor collapsed. Wang Wei, who had just woken up, and Hu Juan didn’t hesitate and immediately rushed out.

This firestorm continued travelling upwards after breaking through to the fifth floor.

The fourth floor collapsed! Situ Nan stared dumbfoundedly at all of this and gasped. Without hesitation, he moved with the flames.

The third floor collapsed!

The second floor collapsed!

The monstrous storm reached the first floor before it finally stopped, but it didn’t dissipate. However, the fire rapidly contracted and the endless firestorm disappeared into a figure deep within the cave.

There were no flames in his eyes, but his body was surrounded by an invisible fire. If one looked closely, they would find that the space around Wang Lin seemed to distort, and your vision was blocked.

His hair had completely changed. A head of white hair flowed as Wang Lin let out a big breath and clenched his fist. Behind him, a Vermillion Bird appeared. It was no longer red, but white!

This kind of white was similar to snow, but anyone who saw the Vermillion Bird would feel the unimaginable heat within!

The white Vermillion Bird circled Wang Lin. It was extremely proud, as if all other creatures in the world were below it. As it circled Wang Lin, it let out a Vermillion Bird cry that could penetrate the heavens!

The Vermillion Bird’s second awakening!

At this instant, the entire world trembled. Master Void was hiding in the corner of the fourth floor, struggling to survive through his first Heaven’s Blight!

“Once I succeed, not only will my injuries recover, but my cultivation level will increase dozens fold. When that happens, killing that Wang Lin will be like crushing an ant!” While was struggling, the cry of the Vermillion Bird’s second awakening entered his ears.

After being startled for a moment, Master Void was filled with disbelief. If it was the first awakening, he could accept it, but he would have never thought that a second awakening was possible. He clearly knew what the second awakening meant, and he knew that the difference between the first and second awakenings was like the difference between heaven and earth!

If the first awakening could make the entire Vermillion Bird Divine Sect protect him, then the second awakening was enough to make the entire Vermillion Bird Divine sect crazy. It could no longer be described as “using their full power to protect him,” now it would be to “protect him no matter the cost!”

If it was just one awakening, although the Alliance would still have to kill Wang Lin, they wouldn’t be shocked. However, if the Vermillion Bird went through a second awakening, even they would be shocked! Moreover, Master Void knew that the time between these two things happening was so short, it was negligible.

Thinking about how the person he wanted to kill, the one that caused him to end up in such a state, had awakened twice, Master Void, who was enduring his first Heaven’s Blight, coughed out a mouthful of essence origin energy. His mind became confused and all the origin energy in his body went crazy. The initial sign of failure of his first Heaven’s Blight appeared!

The first Heaven’s Blight was unpredictable, and often just the slightest fluctuation in one’s mind was enough to make one fail. And once you failed, the result was death!

The moment the Vermillion Bird went through the second awakening, the Vermillion Bird spirit outside the Demon Spirit Land let out the same cry. At this moment, the eyes of all the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect members widened. The six Nirvana Shatterer elders all sucked in breaths of cold air.

“Second… Second awakening!!!”

“He unexpectedly started the second awaken after such a short period of time!!”

“The hope of my Vermillion Bird Divine Sect will arrive. If this person is safe, my Vermillion Bird Sect will rise once more!”

Deep in the burning starfield where Vermillion Bird Divine Sect was located, there was a white stone. This was where the Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor that had survived for countless years sat. At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and they shined like they never before.

“Second… awakening…” His breath become unstable. After pondering for a bit, he unexpectedly tried to get up, but in the end, his old body was unsuccessful.

“I don’t have much time left… Giving up a bit of my remaining time for this clan member who has awakened a second time is worth it…” The old man let out a sigh and closed his eyes.

Just as his eyes closed, an unimaginable force of fire charged out of his body. It was so powerful that even the burning starfield trembled. It was as if the entire starfield was going to collapse, and popping sounds echoed across the starfield. Then an origin soul slowly floated away from this old man.

The origin soul didn’t look old; it was that of a middle-aged man. He lowered his head and looked at his body, and his eyes revealed an ancient gaze.

“It has been a long time since my origin soul has left my body…” He shook his head and took a step. A vortex appeared in the sea of flames before him. He stepped into the vortex and then disappeared.

As for inside the Celestia Emperor Cave, on the seventh floor, Ta Jia looked at the firestorm, and his eyes revealed a serious expression for the first time. He didn’t care about the Vermillion Bird’s second awakening, but he felt an unexplainable terrifying aura from this ancient god!

“The royal bloodline ancient god and the Vermillion Bird Divine Beast. They have unexpectedly fused… But that isn’t important. Just as I was about to attack to stop him, I unexpectedly felt unease… What else does he have…”

And at this moment, Ancient Demon Bei Lou borrowed the moment Wang Lin’s second awaken occurred to escape along with the firestorm. He no longer wanted to fight against the ancient devil and was focused on escaping.

“I need to get out of here and quickly reach the outer realm. I can’t fight Ta Jia!” Bei Lou felt very bitter. He had lost too much this time. Half of his ancient demon spirit body was devoured, and in order to escape just now, he had shattered two stars. He moved like lighting as he charged straight up.

Ancient Devil Ta Jia’s eyes lit up. The person he absolutely couldn’t let go was this ancient demon! He simply ignored Wang Lin and chased after the ancient demon.

The more time passed, the better control he had of this body. His speed was now several times faster than before, so he instantly closed the distance between himself and Ancient Demon Bei Lou.

Chapter 1069

Bei Lou clenched his teeth and moved, but Ta Jia was even faster. Seeing that he couldn’t escape, Bei Lou clenched his teeth and a third ancient demon star collapsed. Borrowing the force of the star’s collapse, Bei Lou charged into the sixth floor and immediately locked onto the two escaping women.

His body flickered and closed in on the two women. His demonic claw reached out toward the girl in pink.

The girl in pink’s face became pale without blood, but she didn’t panic. The moment the ancient demon’s claw closed in, the snowflake mark between her eyebrows shined. There was a loud whistling sound and then a snowstorm appeared before the girl in pink.

The moment the ancient demon’s right hand reached over, it collided with the snowstorm, and the claw was knocked back. The girl in pink coughed out blood all over the the snowstorm and then was thrown backwards.

The ancient demon was surprised, but he didn’t hesitate. His right hand swept by and grabbed the beautiful middle-aged woman’s head.

Thanks to the ancient demon’s cultivation level and spell, the injured beautiful middle-aged woman who had just recovered couldn’t resist at all. Demonic energy surged into her body and completely sealed all her meridians.

At this moment, Ancient Devil Ta Jia arrived. Bei Lou didn’t have time to think. As he held the beautiful woman, a demonic glow appeared in his eyes. Then his left hand formed a seal and he pointed at her body. Every time he pointed, a strand of demonic energy entered her body.

In the blink of an eye, the beautiful woman’s body trembled, and the blood vessels in her body crossed, forming a large, strange rune.

The moment Ancient Devil Ta Jia closed in, Ancient Demon Bei Lou threw the beautiful woman, then his eyes lit up and he shouted, “Demon Spirit Transformation!”

After he spoke, all the blood vessels in her body exploded, her body turned into a blood mist, and she died! However, a rune appeared in her collapsed body and quickly absorbed her flesh. It even’t even spare her shattered origin soul.

After absorbing everything, the rune released a demonic glow and flew toward the fifth floor.

After the ancient demon did all of this, he felt as if he had consumed a lot of demonic energy, and the four remaining stars in his right eye were dim. However, he no longer tried to run. Instead, he turned around and he stared at Ancient Devil Ta Jia with madness in his eyes.

“Forget it! I’ll try to buy more time so the demon spirit can escape!”

Demon Spirit Transformation was the ancient demons’ life-saving spell, and they wouldn’t use it unless they had no choice. This spell had one great weakness, which was that they had to use a member of the opposite sex as a furnace for it to succeed.

And even if it succeeded, one would lose most of their cultivation and just become a broken spirit. Bei Lou had been forced to the brink, and he only used this spell because he saw the two women.

At this moment, madness appeared in his eyes, and the ancient demon stars in his right eye rotated rapidly and then collapsed. One, two, three, four ancient demon stars shined brightly and all collapsed!

The collapse of the four ancient demon stars caused Bei Lou’s body to grow like crazy, and the madness in his eyes became even stronger. He let out a ferocious roar. “Ta Jia, even if I can’t kill you, I’ll make it so your possession will never truly succeed. This is all because you’ve forced me!”

Ancient Demon Bei Lou charged out while letting out a roar. Then his body flickered and turned from one to two, then to four, then to eight…

In the blink of an eye, the entire world was filled with Ancient Demon Bei Lou’s figure. When he got near Ancient Devil Ta Jia, a thunderous rumble echoed. He had chosen to self-destruct!

He’d die just to hurt Ta Jia!

The thunderous rumble echoed across the sky. All the avatars of the ancient demon collapsed, forming a destructive shockwave that spread across the fifth floor. The entire seventh floor immediately collapsed!

The girl in pink revealed anger, but she didn’t have time to think. The moment the ancient demon charged at the ancient devil and exploded, she immediately rushed toward the sixth floor. However, before she could get far, she felt the unimaginable impact behind her.

As for Wang Lin, he was at the first floor of the cave, and the Vermillion Bird cry echoed behind him. An invisible fire surrounded him as he looked down at the tunnel that pierced through the entire Celestial Emperor Cave. His hands were moving and countless restrictions were appearing.

The restrictions continued to land on the pit, and each restriction caused a large amount of rocks to fall. Wang Wei and Hu Juan came out, and the moment they saw Wang Lin, they understood his intention. They didn’t hesitate and began launching spells at the ground as well.

This earth began to tremble as if the entire Demon Spirit Land was being affected. At this moment, it was as if earthquakes were occurring across the Demon Spirit Land.

Situ Nan charged out from the deep bit and cursed non-stop.

“Damn it, what is this damn place? After I leave here and get rid of this poison, I’ll have to enter closed door cultivation!!”

After Situ Nan charged out and saw Wang Lin, he gasped, but he immediately knew Wang Lin’s plan. Without hesitation, he flew into the air and began bombarding the ground with spells.

The ground began to tremble even more violently. It felt like the entire Celestial Emperor Cave was going to collapse. At this moment, the people hiding inside the second floor all flew out. Among them were Big Head, the three Chen brothers, Lei Ji, the beautiful middle-aged woman’s two disciples, and even Master Hollow Wind.

After these people charged out, when they saw Wang Lin, they were terrified and quickly scattered. Master Hollow Wind seemed to have guessed Wang Lin’s intention, but he didn’t understand. After all, he hadn’t experienced the horror of the ancient devil; none of them even knew the ancient devil existed.

Just as the trembling became even more violent, Wang Lin’s eyes revealed a strange light. Then his hands formed a seal and he suddenly pointed at the ground while letting out a roar. The huge Vermillion Bird behind him let out a cry and rushed into the pit.

The endless flames suddenly surrounded the Vermillion Bird and charged straight into the pit. At this moment, Wang Wei’s eyes were bloodshot, and his hand formed a seal and a monstrous sea appeared. The sea charged into the pit right after the Vermillion Bird.

Hu Juan and Situ Nan also used their most powerful spells that followed the Vermillion Bird down into the pit.

Just at this instant, waves of cold energy came from the pit. It was the girl in pink with countless snowflakes around her, and she was struggling to get out. As the various spells descended, the snowflakes rapidly rotated and she barely made it out through all the danger.

The Vermillion Bird landed into the pit that penetrated the entire Celestial Emperor Cave. A loud rumble came from the second floor, and when the rest of the spells landed, the Celestial Emperor Cave began to truly collapse!

The endless rumbles filled the sky, and as they echoed, the ground sunk in, sealing off the exit. It was also shrouded within everyone’s spells.

Muffled sounds came from below, and there were roars of the ancient devil!

After using the spells, Wang Lin’s hands continued to move, and countless restrictions landed. Hu Juan didn’t stop either; she and Wang Wei also placed restrictions. The three of them were extremely fast, so a large amount of restrictions fell on the collapsed ruin.

The dense restrictions landed as if they were forming a large net!

At this moment, muffled roars came out, and they were even more crazy than before. As the roars echoed, the earth trembled even more violently. It was as if a force wanted to rush out, as if a person wanted to break out from inside and slaughter all life.

The expressions of the surrounding cultivators that didn’t know about the ancient devil changed. Master Hollow Wind could clearly feel the endless fierce energy coming from below, which made him tremble. He didn’t hesitate and quickly placed the restrictions he knew.

Everyone else who knew restrictions all sent out restrictions in an attempt to help.

The roars from the ground came closer and closer, and the vibrations became stronger and stronger, causing the rocks that buried the hole to begin to collapse.

“Not enough time!” Wang Lin clenched his teeth as he slapped his bag of holding and took out Qing Shuang’s body. He had no time to worry about Wang Wei or Hu Juan’s feelings. His right hand hit the back of Qing Shuang. This wasn’t to hurt her, but to force out all the blood he could from her body without her dissipating!

When his palm landed, Qing Shuang immediately coughed out a large amount of blood. The moment the blood appeared, Wang Lin took it and turned it into blood mist that covered the ground.

Origin energy continued to surge out from his hand, and Qing Shuang continued to cough out blood. Wang Lin scattered blood on all the restrictions here!

Just at this instant, a shocking rumbling sound came from underground. Then a monstrous surge of devilish energy shattered all the rocks that were blocking the way, and Ancient Devil Ta Jia slowly flew upward.

However, the devilish energy that rushed up dissipated like melting snow the moment it touched the restrictions.

The strange part was that there were four people behind Ancient Devil Ta Jia! The All-Seer, Ling Tianhou, Master Void, and the strange humanoid thing from the collapsed Celestial Burial Pool!

The human-like thing looked very gentle and calm as it floated next to Ta Jia. It was as if Ta Jia was its owner! The moment Wang Lin saw this ,it was like a bolt of lightning had struck him. Before, he didn’t link it with the ancient devil, but after seeing this, he had a guess!

Chapter 1070

Ancient gods had Moongazer Serpents in their bodies, and the ancient devils had something similar. The human-shaped thing was obviously that!

This thing didn’t exist before the ancient gods died, but it somehow was released during the struggle between the ancient devil and the Celestial Emperor. After it got seperated, it somehow went into the ancient god skull deep under the Celestial Burial Pool.

Although Master Void was standing behind Ancient Devil Ta Jia, he was in an extremely strange state. His eyes were filled with madness and there was a rune on his forehead emitting powerful devilish energy. It was obviously a seal, but Wang Lin could clearly see Master Void’s life force rapidly dissipating. He was on the brink of death.

Ling Tianhou’s expression revealed a complex gaze and he subconsciously avoided Wang Lin’s gaze. He looked to the side, and no one knew what he was thinking. The most unpredictable was, of course, the All-Seer.

The All-Seer’s expression was calm, just like it was when he entered the cave. His eyes were clear, as if he had seen through everything. When Wang Lin looked at him, he revealed a smile.

When Wang Lin saw the All-Seer and company appear, he let out a sigh. He knew that the blood on the restrictions would only affect the Ancient Devil Ta Jia and was useless on everyone else.

However, this was the first floor of the Celestial Emperor Cave, so it wasn’t difficult to leave.

But for some reason, he had always felt in his heart that there was something weird about everything he had experienced just now, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong. There was a hint that something bad was going to happen. When he saw the All-Seer behind Ancient Devil Ta Jia, that feeling became even stronger.

In truth, everything that had just happened had happened far too quickly for him to think. Looking back, it seemed like everything they had done was forced by the ancient devil…

It was as if everything was intentionally planned out by the ancient devil… The kind of terrifying feeling that the All-Seer gave people surrounded Wang Lin’s heart. He rapidly retreated while pondering.

Situ Nan kept an eye on Wang Lin. When he saw Wang Lin retreat, he headed toward Wang Lin and retreated with him.

Wang Wei and Hu Juan also did the same. At this instant, all the surrounding cultivators rushed to leave.

The All-Seer revealed a smile and then raised his finger and pointed. There was a flash of grey gas and the grey-robed All-Seer appeared. He coldly stared at his original body and let out a cold snort, but then he charged at the restrictions.

Endless slaughter energy appeared and charged into the restrictions. Thunderous rumbles echoed and the restrictions began to light up.

However, the restrictions weren’t only placed by Wang Lin; Wang Wei and Hu Juan had also placed them. Hu Juan’s restrictions were far more powerful than Wang Lin’s, so the restrictions here weren’t something the grey-robed All-Seer could easily break.

This bought everyone time. While Wang Wei retreated, he pointed up and a pillar of water appeared and turned into a giant. The giant waved its giant first and hit directly above, causing large amounts of rocks to fall.

Hu Juan didn’t leave but stood in the distance, placing down large amounts of restrictions and reinforcing their strength.

Wang Lin’s eyes lit up, and his hand formed seals and he used spells to attack the sky with Wang Wei. The surrounding cultivators didn’t hesitate and all attacked as well.

Thunderous rumbles echoed across the first floor of the cave.

And at this moment, in the space outside the Demon Spirit Land, the six Nirvana Shatterer cultivators sat across from each other with theirs hands forming seals as they chanted. They would occasionally raise their fingers to point at the Vermillion Bird’s true spirit, which caused the flames around it to become even stronger.

A moment later, the Vermillion Bird true spirit suddenly let out a cry and a sea of flames spread out. The flames had no effect on members of the Vermillion Bird Divine Sect, but they would destroy any cultivators or any dust that divine sense couldn’t see.

As the flames spread, all the dust was burned to nothing, leaving only one dust particle that hadn’t collapsed. This was the location of the Demon Spirit Land!

A flame began to burn on the only remaining dust particle, revealing this location to everyone. The Vermillion Bird’s true spirit let out a cry and charged at this speck of dust.

Endless rumbles echoed as the Vermillion Bird’s true spirit smashed into the seal on this dust particle. Every time it collided, the seal would loosen a bit.

The six Nirvana Shatterer cultivators all began using spells to bombard the dust particle. The seal that was personally left by Qing Lin before the Celestial Realm collapsed trembled even more violently.

The external impacts clearly transmitted into the Demon Spirit Land, causing the entire place to tremble violently. Even the people inside the cave clearly felt these trembles.

However, no one paid any attention to them. As everyone attacked, the barrier between the Celestial Emperor Cave and the Demon Spirit Land suddenly collapsed!

The moment the barrier broke, the grey-robed All-Seer broke through Hu Juan’s restrictions. Hu Juan’s face was pale as Wang Wei pulled her back, and they charged out of the broken barrier.

Ancient Devil Ta Jia stepped out. He then let out a grim smile and suddenly inhaled. Suddenly, endless devilish energy came out of his mouth and turned into roaring black dragons. The second brother of the three Chen brothers was caught by the black dragons. There was despair in his eyes as he was devoured by the ancient devil.

Wang Lin wanted to save him, but he was too late.

One of the female disciples of the beautiful woman was caught by the black dragon and was pulled back. Even Qian Qin had a pale face and was about to be caught by the black dragon. At this moment, the girl in pink covered by the snowstorm arrived and pulled Qian Qin out toward the exit. The black dragon arrived and collided with the snowstorm, causing her to cough out blood. The snowflake treasure had protected her from countless attacks, and at this moment, it couldn’t withstand them anymore. It cracked and shattered.

However, the girl in pink pulled Qian Qin and charged out.

Big Head and company managed to charge out with the help of Situ Na and Master Hollow Wind, along with the woman in silver, who Wang Lin had taken out of his bag.

However, the danger wasn’t over. Ancient Devil Ta Jia stepped out and his right hand mercilessly reached forward and squeezed!

With this squeeze, everyone who had just escaped the cave to the Demon Spirit Land immediately felt a powerful pressure surrounding them. Qian Qin had the lowest cultivation level, so she coughed out blood and her whole body collapsed.

Even the girl in pink trembled, and her body collapsed as well. However, there was a treasure from the Brilliant Void Realm in her origin soul. This treasure shined and then its light surrounded her and Qian Qin’s origin souls.

However, the two girls’ origin souls were seriously injured, and under the protection of the light from the treasure, they began to fuse…

It was not only the two of them. Among the remaining two Chen brothers, the third brother’s body also collapsed. Master Yi Chen quickly saved his third brother’s origin soul and escaped.

Although Lei Ji’s cultivation was ordinary, his physical body was very strong, but half of his body collapsed. The remaining half was saved by Big Head, who luckily had taken no damage during this moment of crisis.

As for Master Hollow Wind and Situ Nan, both were at the Nirvana Cleanser stage, so while they were seriously injured and coughed out blood, their bodies didn’t collapse. However, Situ Nan’s expression became strange. The poison in his body had activated due to the serious injuries!

The ancient devil’s spell originally could have annihilated everyone here. The reason it didn’t was largely due to Wang Wei and Hu Juan. The moment the ancient devil used the spell, they quickly used their own spells to interfere, and they withstood a majority of the attack.

The reason they did this was because they knew there were people here that were close to Wang Lin. They had to repay Wang Lin!

Wang Lin had also helped resist this spell; he shared this blow with Wang Wei and Hu Juan. He coughed out blood and was extremely weak. His origin soul was seriously injured and began to rapidly dissipate. Although he had endless fire origin energy inside his body, it didn’t stop his origin soul from dissipating.

Not even the Ancient God Leather Armor could do much against these constant injuries. After all, Wang Lin’s enemy was an ancient devil that had possessed Qing Lin’s body!

Wang Lin didn’t hesitate and took out the pill Wang Wei had gifted him. He crushed the pill and swallowed it. This pill was indeed miraculous; his origin soul stopped dissipating and rapidly healed.

Wang Wei and Hu Juan’s expressions were also bad, and blood came out from the corners of their mouths. The couple revealed bitter smiles, but their eyes were filled with determination.

“Wang Lin, the two of us will use our lives to stall the ancient devil. Forget about resurrecting Teacher. If you have the chance in the future, save Qing Shuang for us!” Wang Wei’s right hand reached at the void before him and a crack appeared and then he thew Zhou Yi out.

“The two of us have lived for too long and have entered the cave many times. However, due to various reasons, we never got close. I didn’t expect such a thing would happen when we got close…” Wang Wei had a complex expression.

At this moment, Ancient Devil Ta Jia slowly walked out from the barrier, and he looked up at the sky. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and he began to laugh like crazy.

“Qing Lin, ah, Qing Lin, in order to prevent me from successfully escaping, you made it so your body couldn’t break any of the restrictions in the cave. But this devil merely used an illusion, and all these people that came to save you broke all the restrictions you set to stop me!”

Ancient Devil Ta Jia clenched his fist as he looked at this world. The excitement in his eyes became even stronger.

After he spoke, Wang Wei and Hu Juan’s faces suddenly turned pale. Wang Lin gasped. He finally understood the bad feeling he had in his heart. He looked at the ancient devil and his pupils shrank.

“Now let me show you my real power!” Ta Jia raised his right hand as he laughed. His eyes were filled with a crazy amount of bloodthirst.

Just at this instant, the entire earth trembled and even the sky distorted. An illusion appeared in the sky. This was the illusion of a palace within a sea of purple flowers.

“Ancient devil… You can break one of my husband’s plans, but you didn’t know that by stepping outside, you’d enter the second rule my husband set for you.”

A cold and beautiful voice echoed across the world. A woman in white gradually walked out from the illusionary palace that appeared in the sky…

“Flower Imperial Concubine!” Wang Lin suddenly looked at the sky.

At the same moment, the seal on the dust particle where the Demon Spirit Land was had loosened under the constant attacks of the Vermillion Bird’s true spirit. It could be broken at any time.

At the same time, a law similar to the change between day and night on a planet shined on the dust particle the Demon Spirit Land was in… It arrived during sunrise…
