Chapter 1883 - Betraying the Heavenly Bull Continent!

"Junior doesn't understand why everyone has obtained two rewards and I only obtained a fire element armor!" Wang Lin wasn't polite at all. He was no longer alone, he was now an elder of the Great Soul Sect.

As a result, he could not stand for this. Even if the other party was the sect master of the Gui Yi Sect, he would still question them.

"Your cultivation level is the lowest, so just one armor is enough. This decision was made by both the Gui Yi Sect and the Great Soul Sect. You don't have to understand it, but you must accept it. If you don't like the fire element armor, then this old man will take it away." The majestic voice echoed once more. The floating fire armor turned into a sea of fire and returned back to the great hall.

Wang Lin looked at the great hall and slowly said, "Since this was a decision between the two sects, do you have proof?"

After Wang Lin spoke, a ray of ghostly light came out of the great hall. There was a strand of white hair inside the ray of light. The white hair erupted and a figure appeared.

This figure was that of Old Ancestor Green Bull!

"The matter of the reward has its own reasons there. This old man will not change. If Wang Lin doesn't agree quickly, this is the proof this old man will now leave!"

Wang Lin stared at the projection of Old Ancestor Green Bull. He knew that this was not the avatar, but a divine sense imprint.

"The proof has been given to you. Step back!" The Gui Yi Sect's sect master's cold voice came from the great hall.

Wang Lin's expression revealed nothing. If this matter was really the decision between the Gui Yi Sect and the Great Soul Sect, then with such an unfair decision, Wang Lin wouldn't need to worry about his agreement with Old Ancestor Green Bull.

Wang Lin silently pondered and no longer spoke as he calmly stood there. He acted like nothing had happened and didn't feel any heartache for the fire element armor that was taken away.

"This old man will now activate the formation that has not been opened for countless years to send the four of you to the Green Devil Continent. Before you four leave, leave behind a wisp of your life soul. Once you complete your task, this old man will teleport you all back!"

After hearing about the matter of the life souls, Wang Lin's pupils shrank. The advantage was being able to be teleported back. The disadvantage was that he would have no freedom, as the other party would know his whereabouts at every moment.

Yun Yifeng was a disciple of the Gui Yi Sect, so he didn't hesitate. His right hand touched the spot between his eyebrows and his body trembled. A wisp of soul came out to form a ball, and it flew toward the great hall.

The old man named Edge Cloud hesitated for a moment but didn't refuse. He also exacted a wisp of his life soul and sent it to the great hall.

As for Tang Jia, she pondered for a while and then clenched her teeth. She was willing to pay any price for the development of her sect. Not to mention this was necessary, or else she couldn't be teleported back from the Green Devil Continent.

The three of them all sent out their life souls, leaving only Wang Lin.

Wang Lin silently pondered. After a long time, he looked at the great hall and slowly spoke.

"I refuse to do this. I need to head back to the Great Soul Sect to meet with the old ancestor before making a decision! Goodbye!" After Wang Lin spoke, he slowly retreated and was about to leave the square.

"You can leave, but leave behind the soul armor!" The majestic voice echoed from the great hall. A giant hand made of black gas that covered the sky reached toward Wang Lin.

There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Everything was happening too fast for him to figure out what had happened to cause all his.

The change in the attitude of Old Ancestor Green Bull and the Gui Yi Sect making it difficult for him. Something Wang Lin wasn't aware of was happening.

He even felt that if he handed over the soul armor, it would be very difficult to leave the Gui Yi Sect. Without the cultivation boost from the soul armor, he would be in a dangerous situation.

This feeling was very strong. In truth, Wang Lin didn't want to keep the soul armor for himself. His original plan was to complete the three conditions to repay those three gifts. Then he would leave the soul armor and leave alone.

After all, this item didn't belong to himself, but to the entire Heavenly Bull Continent.

However, this strange turn of events caused Wang Lin to become extremely cautious. He didn't know what changes had occurred in the Heavenly Bull Continent during the half year he was at the Extreme Sky Prairie!

With no information, he could not allow the soul armor to be taken away. With the soul armor, he still had a little power to survive, but without it, he felt like he would fall into an abyss!

"This matter began when I came to the Gui Yi Sect. They were obviously being unfair. If I spoke up, then I would fall into their trap. If I had remained silent, then there was the matter with the life soul… They are forcing me to comply!

"At the end of the day, everything today was targeted at me!

"There is a problem here!! The Gui Yi Sect knows my identity, knows that I come from the cave world, and also knows my connection with Xuan Luo, yet they still…" Wang Lin didn't understand and didn't have time to understand. Between abandoning the armor and facing the unknown, or keeping the armor and fighting, he didn't hesitate to choose the latter!

The moment the giant hand closed in, the Heavenly Bull tattoo on the right side of Wang Lin's face released endless black light, shocking Yun Yifeng, Tang Jia, and Edge Cloud. The black light instantly shrouded Wang Lin's entire body and turned into countless black threads. They took the form of a suit of black armor that exposed only his eyes and his white hair, which fluttered without any wind.

Wang Lin's cultivation level suddenly increased from late stage Spirit Void to early stage Void Tribulant when he put on the armor. He raised his right hand and used the War Spirit Print. The huge, six-fingered devil palm print appeared. It collided directly with the huge black hand.

Thunderous rumbles echoed across the Gui Yi Sect's square and the six-fingered devil palm print collapsed. The black hand trembled and half of it collapsed, but the rest still landed on Wang Lin.

With Wang Lin's current cultivation level, after being hit by the remains of the black hand, his face turned pale and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth as he quickly retreated.

"Wang Lin has betrayed the Heavenly Bull Continent. Send out the Soul Order. All cultivators of the Heavenly Bull Continent can kill him on sight! Whoever kills him will be rewarded the fire element armor, the Great Soul Sect's Vice Ghostly Sail, and a Heavenly Bull Bead!"

When Wang Lin was knocked back, he heard this. He gritted his teeth and felt an indescribable emotion. He vaguely felt like those three items were originally his reward…

After these words echoed, Edge Cloud's expression changed greatly and he revealed a look of disbelief. Without hesitation, the Heavenly Bull tattoo on the right side of his face lit up and shrouded his whole body, forming the same Heavenly Bull soul armor that Wang Lin had. His cultivation level increased greatly and he broke through from the mid stage of Void Tribulant to roughly the late stage. In a flash, he chased after Wang Lin!

The reason he was so decisive was because of the Heavenly Bull Bead!

The Heavenly Bull Beads were found by the Great Soul Sect and the Gui Yi Sect when they laid the foundation in the Heavenly Bull Sect. There were only seven of them. There were many uses for them, including making treasures, changing the effect of time, and cultivators could go inside them to cultivate.

However, these weren't their most important uses. The most important use was that the beads could store the soul of the Heavenly Bull. This would allow someone with the soul armor to act as a separate existence and not lose the ability once they went too far from the Heavenly Bull Continent.

With the Heavenly Bull Bead, one could wear the soul armor anywhere on the Immortal Astral Continent, even in the Ancient Country, because this bead was the soul of the Heavenly Bull!

Wang Lin had never heard of the Heavenly Bull Bead before; otherwise, he would've been shocked to discover that it was surprisingly similar in some aspects to something he owned!

Out of the seven Heavenly Bull Beads, the Gui Yi Sect had three and the Great Soul Sect had four. Over the countless years, they had never been taken out as rewards and had been used as the framework to create a holy land of cultivation for the two sects.

This holy land could only be perfectly formed when three beads were together. As a result, it couldn't be the Gui Yi Sect; only the Great Soul Sect could take one out, because they had one extra!

The Great Soul Sect's sect protection Ghostly Sail was a top secret of the Great Soul Sect. Its vice flag could release great power even far away.

These two items were enough to make one go crazy! This was why Edge Cloud had made the decision to chase Wang Lin so quickly with red eyes.

Tang Jia trembled. After pondering for a bit, she clenched her teeth and black light surrounded her. Her soul armor appeared and her cultivation level reached mid stage Void Tribulant, then she chased as well.

Only Yun Yifeng remained silent and had a gloomy expression. He didn't pursue. However, as Tang Jia rushed out, he opened his mouth and sent a divine sense message to her.

Tang Jia trembled after she heard Yun Yifeng's message shortly after flying out. She suddenly looked back at Yun Yifeng.

"Is this true?"

Yun Yifeng looked at Tang Jia and nodded.

Tang Jia's expression became complicated and she gave chase once more. However, her mentality had changed greatly from before.

Only after Tang Jia left did Yun Yifeng turn around and drop down on one knee toward the great hall.

"Sect Master, you have to give Disciple an explanation for this matter! Disciple has already informed the sect of Wang Lin's identity and his relationship with Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo…"

There was silence from the great hall for a long long time and then a tired sigh echoed.

Wang Lin quickly moved through the Gui Yi Sect. His expression was gloomy and he spread out his divine sense, but he soon noticed that something was wrong. The entire Gui Yi Sect was dead silent and there wasn't a single person around. Even the sect protection formation was not activated at this moment.

Chapter 1884 - Heavenly Bull's Peak

This silence seemed to have been especially prepared for him to leave. Wang Lin's eyes lit up. Everything had happened too suddenly for him to understand, but it was too late to think about it now. He quickly flew away.

He moved at his fastest speed to leave the Gui Yi Sect. Behind him, Edge Cloud's eyes revealed a strange light as he chased after Wang Lin with his late stage Void Tribulant cultivation.

The two of them quickly flew through the Gui Yi Sect and then flew out of the Gui Yi Sect. A moment later, a ray of purple light flew out from the Gui Yi Sect. Following that, the sect formation activated and returned to normal.

Wang Lin flew thousands of kilometers away from the Gui Yi Sect. It was not possible to use Spatial Bending in this area. The sect formation was disrupting this area.

Just after Wang Lin left the disrupted area and was about to use Spatial Bending, Edge Cloud caught up. His eyes were cold and he suddenly raised his hand. The sky changed and seven stars appeared in the blue sky. These seven stars shined as if it was night.

"Seven Star Kill!" There was a flash of coldness in Edge Cloud's eyes. He wanted to kill Wang Lin for the reward, even though he had sensed that something was wrong. However, he didn't care about that. He only acted like he was acting out the Soul Order given to hunt down Wang Lin for defecting.

"After taking this Wang Lin's head, then I can ask the Gui Yi Sect for the reward. Although there are some problems, I can say that I am simply acting on the order of the Gui Yi Sect's sect master. The Great Soul Sect can't say anything either. After all, Wang Lin betrayed us first. I'm killing a traitor!" Edge Cloud reaching the mid stage of Void Tribulant as a rogue cultivator and obtaining the recognition of the Heavenly Bull showed that there was something special about him. In a flash, he made his decision.

As Edge Cloud raised his hand, the seven stars in the blue sky shined brightly. It was as if an ancient force had gathered in the blue sky. The seven stars released a powerful howl as they fell from the endless sky.

The howl seemed to be able to cut open the sky, and it formed an indescribable force. Ripples echoed under Wang Lin's feet and he was about to leave. However, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

Seven meteor-like black lights were falling from the blue sky at an extremely fast speed. At the head of the lights, there was a fist-sized black star that was rapidly closing in.

Even this far away, one could see the star as fist-sized, but if it was close, it had to be enormous.

As Wang Lin looked, the fist-sized star turned into the size of a bowl and was rapidly expanding. It looked like it would expanded to 1,000 kilometers and cause everything within 1,000 kilometers to turn into ruins!

Edge Cloud could only cast this spell when he had the cultivation level increase from the soul armor.

More and more ripples echoed under Wang Lin's feet and he was about to use Spatial Bending to leave. Edge Cloud obviously didn't know about Wang Lin's spells, so no matter how powerful his spell was, it would be impossible to keep Wang Lin here.

However, just at this moment, a purple ray of light appeared behind Edge Cloud. Tang Jia looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression and then moved very fast. She closed in on Edge Cloud and seemed like she was going to pass him.

"Senior Edge Cloud, I'll help you. The only reward I want is the fire element armor!" Tang Jia's soft voice echoed. Without waiting for his reply, Tang Jia arrived within 1,000 feet of Edge Cloud.

Edge Cloud frowned and didn't say anything, but Wang Lin suddenly paused. He clearly saw Tang Jia close in, and when she was within 100 feet of Edge Cloud, there was something strange.

"What are you doing!?" Edge Cloud also noticed that something was wrong. His eyes lit up and he waved his sleeve as he retreated. A black wind surrounded his body, forming layers of protection. Tang Jia's eyes released a golden glow and she raised her jade-like hand. Eight golden gates suddenly appeared around Edge Cloud.

"Eight Gates Seal!"

The eight golden gates emitted endless golden light. After they appeared, they immediately inclosed Edge Cloud.

This sudden change caused Wang Lin's eyes to narrow, and in a short period of time, many thoughts flashed through his head. He stopped hesitated and gave up on escaping. Instead, he turned into a ray of ghostly light and flew toward the sealed Edged Cloud.

Wang Lin's personality was always like this. If others didn't offend him, then he would avoid provoking them unless it was absolutely necessary. However, now that Edge Cloud had tried to kill him, he would find any opportunity to fight back.

When he saw Tang Jia use the golden gates, he realized why she felt so familiar. This woman's aura and appearance were very similar to the third concubine, Tang Shan!

After connecting their names, Wang Lin could determine that this woman and Tang Shan had a deep connection.

All of this happened in an instant, and Edge Cloud was caught off guard. Three of the seven stars that appeared in the sky disappeared due to him losing control. The remaining four continued falling and looked like they would land soon.

When the four stars landed, black fire began burning on the stars. Before they even landed, waves of heat spread out. This heat seemed to have the power to reverse the heavens and earth.

Wang Lin ignored the stars falling from the sky and instantly closed in on the sealed Edge Cloud. He raised his right hand and waved.

The world rumbled and the Seven-Colored Lance appeared. It changed color three times and become the third transformation of the Seven-Colored Lance.

Shortly after, Wang Lin used his unparalleled casting speed to form seals, and the huge six-fingered devil palm print appeared and shot toward Edge Cloud.

Merely these two spells weren't enough to seriously injure Edge Cloud. Wang Lin clenched his teeth as he formed seals and pointed at the sky.

Their surroundings rumbled as the world became the sea and everything turned dark. Sunlight suddenly appeared on the horizon.

This was the second time Wang Lin had used Sundered Night since he put on the soul armor.

Since Tang Jia had decided to help, she didn't hesitate at all. Her hands formed seals and a giant golden whip appeared in this dark night.

The whip lashed out with an aura that could destroy the heavens, aimed at Edge Cloud. Her casting speed couldn't compare to Wang Lin's. In the time Wang Lin used three spells, she had only used one.

Edge Cloud's expression changed greatly. He was currently sealed by the eight gates. These eight gates were Tang Jia's most powerful spell, and it had been used when she was at the mid stage of Void Tribulant. Its sealing power was enough to make Edge Cloud's eyes red with killing intent. At this moment, he no longer cared about other matters. He bit the tip of his tongue to cough out blood. This blood turned into coundless blood-colored ghosts that rushed toward the gates while letting out a shrieking howls.

There was a thunderous bang and the eight gates collapsed. Just as Edge Cloud recovered, he had to face the third transformation of the Seven-Colored Lance. He could not escape, so he waved his sleeve and a small, white shield the size of his palm appeared. In a flash, it collided with the Seven-Colored Lance.

Thunderous rumbles echoed and the lance collapsed, but countless cracks appeared on the white shield. Before it collapsed, Wang Lin's six-fingered devil palm print shrank from its endless size until it was 100 feet large and landed on the small shield.

The small, white shield could no longer resist and shattered. The palm print landed before Edge Cloud.

Thunderous rumbles echoed and Edge Cloud's face turned pale. As he was knocked back, he pointed to between his eyebrows and let out a roar.

As he roared, the image of the Heavenly Bull appeared and also roared. Ripples echoed and the six-fingered devil palm print collapsed, but Wang Lin had cast three spells. When the palm print collapsed, Sundered Night shrouded the area. The rising sun appeared and erupted with the power to tear apart the night!

"Faith… faith spell!!" After being bombarded by spells, Edge Cloud was able to see the issue with the sun for the first time. His eyes were filled with extreme fear and he quickly retreated.

But just as he retreated, Tang Jia's golden whip closed in like the sun. It broke through the darkness and instantly arrived before Edge Cloud.

Edge Cloud coughed out blood and was in a sorry state as he was pushed back. The only thought in his mind was to retreat out of the area of effect of the spell.

However, he was a step too late. The sun rose into the sky and the tearing force spread out like crazy. Edge Cloud coughed out blood once more and his eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, he felt danger and made a decision in his heart.

As he retreated, he suddenly stopped and pressed his hands against his eyebrows. He leaned back a bit and then fiercely threw something forward.

A Heavenly Bull with its front hoof raised appeared. Its horn was pointed at the sky and it actually charged toward the sun!

Chapter 1885 - That Sentence!

The Heavenly Bull charged toward the sun like crazy. Edge Cloud's cultivation level was very high with the soul armor, but after the Heavenly Bull rushed toward the sun, his cultivation level reduced greatly. It fell back down to mid stage Void Tribulant from late stage Void Tribulant.

He had used this spell by giving up the short time he had left to wear the armor in order to break Sundered Night!

All of this happened in a flash. The Heavenly Bull quickly collided with the sun and thunderous rumbles echoed. Wang Lin coughed out blood. When Sundered Night collapsed, he was knocked back thousands of feet.

As for Edge Cloud, he seemed to have aged thousands of years and blood flowed out from his mouth as he retreated. However, how could Wang Lin let him escape? Wang Lin ignored his injuries and rushed out toward Edge Cloud. He was going to take advantage of the fact that the soul armor had dissipated to kill Edge Cloud.

Tang Jia silently pondered and no longer attacked. She had only helped on behalf of her sister. At this moment, she looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression and then disappeared into the distance.

Wang Lin was filled with killing intent and closed in on Edge Cloud. He raised his right hand and smashed down on Edge Cloud. This punch contained his Ancient Dao power, and the world changed colors. Edge Cloud was knocked back and coughed out blood.

Wang Lin's body also trembled, but he clenched his teeth and charged out once more.

The two of them attacked several times, and fear appeared in Edge Cloud's eyes. He had seen crazy people before, but he had never met a madman like Wang Lin, who was doing whatever it took to kill with no regard to himself.

Just as Wang Lin and Edge Cloud were fighting, several thousands of kilometers away, a giant, black hand appeared and reached toward this location.

Wang Lin's expression sank and he gave up on trying to kill Edge Cloud. The ripples under his feet echoed and he disappeared, merging with the world.

The giant, black hand closed in and pulled Edge Cloud back into the Gui Yi Sect.

This battle was very short. It wasn't until after Wang Lin left that the four stars in the sky fell to the earth. Thunderous rumbles echoed through the 1,000 kilometer area, and large amounts of dust covered the region. It took a long time for the dust to clear, leaving only countless pieces of smoking, black stones.

Ripples echoed above a mountain that was two months of flight away. Wang Lin stepped out with a pale expression. He stood there and pondered for a long time.

A moment later, he looked up and around. His expression was bleak.

"Heavenly Bull Continent, it's time to leave…" With a sigh, Wang Lin looked dow,n and he was startled.

He was familiar with this place as he had come here before. This was where the Seven Dao Sect was located.

He had moved inadvertently and didn't have a fixed location, but he didn't expect to actually come here.

Looking at the black fog surrounding the mountain below, Wang Lin let out a sigh. He charged into the fog and flew toward the direction of the Seven Dao Sect.

Soon after, Wang Lin saw a group of palaces that gave off a decaying aura in the mountains. Wang Lin landed in the square outside the main hall. Most of the stone here was damaged and covered in weeds. He sat down and looked at the Seven Dao Sect. The bleak feeling in his heart was slowly replaced by warmth.

In some sense, this place was his home.

Wang Lin closed his eyes and sat here to adjust his injuries. He had long put away the soul armor, and in his weakened state, he released Yi Si to guard him.

In a flash, three days passed. After three days, Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the Seven Dao Sect. The first time he came, he had only swept the area. Now that it was his second time and he held the complicated feeling of having to leave the Heavenly Bull Continent, he walked through the Seven Dao Sect.

He walked past every building and the places where the Seven Dao Sect disciples had lived.

In the end, he walked into the main hall of the Seven Dao Sect. There was a huge throne there. It obviously belonged to the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign.

Looking at the silent hall, the table and chairs were covered in dust. It gave off a sense of decay.

Wang Lin stood there and watched for a long time. He closed his eyes and seemed to feel the existence of the cave world. He suddenly felt homesick.

He missed the cave world, he missed everyone there.

He seemed to be able to see into the cave world. A beautiful woman with long, fluttering hair was standing on the hill and looking up at the dark sky as if she was looking for a pair of eyes up there.

After a long time, Wang Lin opened his eyes and walked out of the temple. He stood in the Seven Dao Sect alone, and his expression gradually became gloomy.

He still had to face the cruel reality.

"A dramatic change must have taken place in the Heavenly Bull Continent during these months! This change caused them to change their reward to me… Or force me to leave… But they allowed me to leave…

"As for the Great Soul Sect…" Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He vaguely felt like he had grasped something, but it wasn't clear. He raised his right hand and opened his palm. A three-inch person immediately appeared.

After the little person appeared, it knelt down and bowed at Wang Lin three times!

Wang Lin's heart trembled and he closed his palm. His divination was blurry and he could not see anything, but one sentence appeared in his heart.

"The matter of the reward has its own reasons. This old man will not change. If Wang Lin doesn't agree quickly, this is the proof this old man will now leave!"

This sentence came from the hair that Old Ancestor Green Bull had left with the Gui Yi Sect's sect master for Wang Lin.

Wang Lin carefully thought about this sentence. The Soul Eye Dao had revealed a blur, and only this sentence appeared. There had to be a hidden meaning inside!

Wang Lin muttered it several times and his body suddenly trembled violently. He suddenly looked up and his eyes shined brightly.

"The matter of the reward has its own reasons there. This old man will not change. If Wang Lin doesn't agree quickly, this is the proof this old man will now leave!"

"The last word of each line are: there, change, quickly, leave!

"There are change, quickly leave!

"Something has changed, leave!" Wang Lin took a deep breath. This sentence was a secret reminder. No matter how it was explained, it was Old Ancestor Green Bull's method of telling Wang Lin to quickly leave!

"Even with Old Ancestor Green Bull's cultivation level, he had to imply this to me. He even worried about me not understanding and worked with the Gui Yi Sect's sect master to give me an unfair reward to force me out from the Heavenly Bull Continent…

"Once I leave, that means I can't stay in the Heavenly Bull Continent and will have to leave as soon as possible… Old Ancestor Green Bull wants me to leave the Heavenly Bull Continent as soon as possible…" Wang Lin silently pondered. He felt like there was a huge mystery covering the Heavenly Bull Continent, and it was the reason for the sudden change in attitude of the Great Soul Sect and the Gui Yi Sect.

Similarly, Wang Lin speculated that this mystery was likely connected to the Green Devil Continent. He always had doubts about the real reason the two continents had gone to war…

Wang Lin thought about it a lot, but all of it was his speculation; he didn't know the real secret. After a moment, Wang Lin looked into the distance and revealed a decisive gaze.

"Forget it, this place is already murky water. Since the matter has already occured, it's useless to think about. It is time to leave the Heavenly Bull Continent…

"However, I fear that leaving won't be so simple. There will likely be obstructions… If my guess is correct, a majority of them will be from the Green Devil Continent!" Wang Lin muttered to himself. He was about to leave, but his expression suddenly changed and he looked at the mountain covered in black fog. In a flash, he disappeared without a trace.

After Wang Lin disappeared, the fog churned and a figure flew in from the outside. This figure was very careful and carefully looked around to make sure there was no one following him before he felt relieved. He slowly landed on the square of the Seven Dao Sect.

"Damn it, I encountered some problems on the way and arrived a few days late. I hope I didn't delay the arrangement set by the old ancestor…" The figure looked nervous as he looked around. Then he found a corner and was about to sit down.

However, just at this moment, a voice echoed through the square.

"Du Qing!"

This figure was Du Qing. After he heard someone shouting his name, he immediately flew into the air in panic. But soon that panic became joy!

"Fellow Cultivator Wang Lin!" He heard Wang Lin's voice.

Wang Lin frowned and appeared. He looked at Du Qing, who he hadn't seen for a while, and suddenly spoke.

"Who told you to come here?"

"Elder Wang, it was the Great Soul Sect's Old Ancestor Green Bull who found me a few months ago to arrive here three days ago to deliver something to you." Du Qing quickly landed before Wang Lin, and his right hand reached out. A black stone appeared in his hand.

This stone looked every ordinary. Du Qing had spent the whole time trying to find some clues along the way, but he couldn't find anything. However, he remembered how serious Old Ancestor Green Bull's expression was, so he felt that it was definitely a treasure.

Wang Lin's eyes lit as he took the black stone and looked at it. His pupils shrank. He felt the aura of the Soul Eye Dao from it.

Chapter 1886 - The Compensated Reward

Wang Lin held the black stone up. It was not a Space Stone. He looked up at Du Qing and clasped his hands.

"Many thanks, Brother Du!"

Du Qing quickly shook his head. He blinked and softly asked, "What is inside?"

Wang Lin faintly smiled and shook his head without answering. He looked at the sky and spoke slowly.

"I won't say more. Brother Du, if there is a chance, we will meet again. Goodbye!" Wang Lin let out a sigh and disappeared with one step toward the sky.

As Du Qing looked at Wang Lin's departing figure, he vaguely understood something. He secretly let out a sigh and shook his head. He then turned into a ray of light to head back to the Great Soul Sect to tell Old Ancestor Green Bull he had completed his task.

Wang Lin merged with the world and left the Seven Dao Sect. He appeared in a desolate desert, which was not common in the Heavenly Bull Continent.

It was night and the cold wind was blowing through the desert. The wind was bone-chilling and was enough to freeze mortals. Cultivators could resist it, but for third step cultivators like Wang Lin, this wind felt gentle.

He was still holding the black stone in his hand. He lowered his head and looked at the stone in his palm. He didn't know if he should open it.

Although he didn't know what it was, the Soul Eye Dao aura secretly told Wang Lin the method to opening it.

A moment later, Wang Lin revealed a decisive gaze. He opened his palm and the three-inch little person appeared next to the black stone. In a flash, it entered the stone.

Crackling sounds echoed across the desert night, entering Wang Lin's ears along with the howl of the wind. After the three-inch little person entered, thin cracks appeared on the stone, and within three breaths of time, it shattered completely.

Four balls of light suddenly flew out!

After seeing the four balls of light, Wang Lin's heart trembled and he was startled.

The first ball of light contained a fist-sized earthman. The earthman was sitting down. It had no orifices, but its body constantly changed between armor and humanoid.

Burst of earth element came from it. It seemed to fuse with the sand here, causing the sand to gently move.

Wang Lin didn't know much about the suits of armor from the Gui Yi Sect, but he had seen some in the cave world and the ones the Gui Yi Sect had gifted out to the messengers.

However, those suits of armor could not compare to the human armor inside the ball of light in terms of appearance or aura! Even Wang Lin, who didn't know much, could tell that they were not on the same level.

This human-shaped armor was likely rare even in the Gui Yi Sect! Wang Lin didn't know what price Old Ancestor Green Bull had paid to obtain one for Wang Lin.

Wang Lin silently pondered.

Inside the second ball of light, there was a small, black sail. To be precise, it was a Ghostly Sail. It gave off an aura that would make one lose themselves in a dream.

Wang Lin could feel the aura of the primary Ghost Sail that was used as the sect protection formation of the Great Soul Sect. If Wang Lin's speculation was correct, then this was the Vice Ghostly Sail that was part of the reward for killing Wang Lin!!

Looking at the little Ghostly Sail, Wang Lin felt an indescribable feeling.

The Sect Protection Ghostly Sail was very important to the Great Soul Sect. But Old Ancestor Green Bull had unexpectedly gifted it to him.

Wang Lin could only silently ponder.

Inside the third ball of light ,there was a brown bead. This bead was the same size as the Heaven Defying Bead, and even its aura was similar. After seeing this bead, Wang Lin had the illusion that he was looking at the Heaven Defying Bead that had fused with his soul.

"This is…" Wang Lin was startled for a moment as he stared at it. He found more and more aspects that were the same as his Heaven Defying Bead, but it wasn't all of it.

Although the bead was very similar to the Heaven Defying Bead, it was like comparing the firefly to the bright moon. One could become the sun, while the other could only be a faint starlight.

Wang Lin felt the aura of the Heavenly Bull from this bead. Although he didn't know what it was, he had his guesses. It had a deep connection with the Heavenly Bull.

Anything related to the Heavenly Bull was an important treasure to the Heavenly Bull Continent. It would not be easily given out, nor would it be allowed to leave the Heavenly Bull Continent. However, the bead had been sent to Wang Lin. Although it seemed very light, it weighed heavily on Wang Lin's heart.

There was also the fourth ball of light. Inside was a broken tortoise shell that was covered in some pattern. Looking at it with the naked eye, it was blurry. However, when he looked at it with his divine sense, Wang Lin suddenly looked back toward the Great Soul Sect.

He seemed to see an old man in the Great Soul Sect sitting on the Green Sky Mountain. The old man was smiling at him, and he raised his right hand as if he was saying goodbye to Wang Lin.

The tortoise shell contained the entire map of the Eastern Continent. It was not very detailed, and the further from the Heavenly Bull Continent it was, the more vague it became. It was mostly just a rough outline and simple introduction.

But this map was extremely important to Wang Lin right now!

In the tortoise shell, aside from the map, there was also a detailed description of the Heavenly Bull bead, which enlightened Wang Lin greatly.

Esteemed Green Bull left only one sentence. It wasn't in the form of a divine sense message, it had been engraved inside the tortoise shell.

"Have a safe trip… After three hundred years, come back to see the Great Soul Sect…" There was no explanation, and it didn't mention the three conditions. It simply ended Wang Lin's karma with the Heavenly Bull Continent with this one sentence.

Wang Lin revealed a complicated expression. After a long time, he put away the human-shaped armor and the Ghostly Sail. He held up the Heavenly Bull Bead and put the soul of the Heavenly Bull inside. Now he could take it anywhere he went.

In the end, he carefully put the tortoise shell away and looked toward the Great Soul Sect. He clasped his hands and bowed.

"I'll return…" Wang Lin muttered before turning around. He flew away into the sky, toward the borders according to the map. He was going to the Dong Lin Sect!

The Dong Lin Sect was in the northern part of the Eastern Continent in the Great Sage Continent. It was five continents away from the Heavenly Bull Continent! It was far away, and flying there would require years of time. Even with Spatial Bending, because Wang Lin couldn't use it repeatedly, it would still take him one to two years.

And to head to the Dong Lin Sect, there was one place he had to pass: the Green Devil Continent! If he were to go around, it would waste even more time, and it would not just be five continents. There would be even more dangerous places to traverse.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He vaguely guessed that the change in the Great Soul Sect and the Gui Yi Sect was related to the Green Devil Continent. He didn't know if he was right or wrong, but if he was right, then there would likely be someone waiting for him at the edge of the Heavenly Bull Continent.

Although going to the Green Devil Continent seemed dangerous, the place was mostly empty now… Perhaps the most dangerous place was actually the safest.

After all, very few people would think that Wang Lin would dare to head to the Green Devil Continent alone…

After making his decision, Wang Lin changed directions and used Spatial Bending toward the Pill Sea. He was very careful as he charged at the Pill Sea.

When he could not use Spatial Bending, he didn't fly through the air. After all, everyone in the Heavenly Bull Continent was his enemy right now. Whether it was cultivators from the Heavenly Bull Continent or the Green Devil Continent, as long as they recognized him, it would be a slaughter.

After all, ordinary Heavenly Bull Continent cultivators only knew of the Soul Order, not the details.

But Wang Lin was unwilling to kill Heavenly Bull Continent cultivators, so whenever he could not use Spatial Bending, he would go into hiding. Once the time had passed, he would rush once more.

As a result, his movement was a lot slower. When he moved past the Extreme Sky Prairie and was only one Spatial Bending from the Pill Sea, which would take about three months of flight, several months had already passed.

At this part of the Heavenly Bull Continent, it was currently winter. Snow was falling from the sky, and this storm extended for tens of thousands of kilometers.

It would still take half a month for Wang Lin to use Spatial Bending again. He spent this time in closed door cultivation, and his injuries improved. He stepped on the snow and faced the cold wind as he moved forward.

Not far from him, there was a mortal city in the snowy dusk that emitted scattered light. The smoke rose into the sky and blended together with the snow. It was very calm and very beautiful.

This was the first time Wang Lin was going to enter the mortal world in the Immortal Astral Continent. Although this place was still some distance from the Pill Sea, it was still considered its neighbor, but it was not destroyed when the Pill Sea collapsed.

No mortals should have died due to the collapse of the Pill Sea. After all, the legend of the Pill Sea had existed for a long time. Whether it was the Green Devil Continent or the Heavenly Bull Continent, they would have made the area around the Pill Sea a forbidden land for mortals.

However, if the Celestial Pill had exploded closer to the Heavenly Bull Continent, then the city before Wang Lin would have instantly disappeared.

The snowstorm became even more intense.

The wind howled as if there was an evil spirit roaring in the sky. The rising smoke was immediately scattered before it could gather. The people in the city all wore cotton clothing and quickly walked home with their heads down.

Wang Lin walked into the city at this moment.

Chapter 1887 - Blockade

The snow fell and the cold wind blew by in the night as Wang Lin walked towards the city. He didn't know why he wanted to come here after he detected this city.

"Perhaps I'm searching for a feeling of being ordinary…" Wang Lin walked in the show causing a squeaking noise. A few snowflakes fell on his face; they were very cold.

He walked from one side of the city to another. He left his footprints behind in the city, but they were quickly covered up by the snow.

On the other side of the city, Wang Lin looked back. Along the way, he saw the entire city and the tens of thousands of lights coming from the homes.

However, there was no feeling of warmth. He was like the footprints covered by the snow; he didn't belong here.

This was the first time Wang Lin had this indescribable feeling. He vaguely understood that as his cultivation level increased, he had lost his final ties with the mortals.

He secretly knew that turning to mortals three times was the limit, and after three times, it was time to cut it off! This was a change in mentality. He wanted to rest in the city and watch the mortals live, but he was unable to fully integrate himself anymore.

"Is my heart no longer calm…" Wang Lin looked up at the snow in the sky. He stood beside the gate at night alone, muttering to himself.

"I now have eight essences… I only need one more essence to enter the Arcane Void stage. After that, I'm confident I can quickly go through the nine Arcane Tribulants… Perhaps my heart is no longer calm, but I know that one day, it will be calm and I'll be able to silently comprehend the world in a mortal city…"

Wang Lin came, but he left with a sense of melancholy. It was as if he had left something, and he could not find it.

"This is a price… The price of being strong…" Wang Lin silently walked through the closed city gate. He faced the wind as he walked away from the city.

The tens of thousands of lights shined behind him and gave off warmth. Wang Lin long for this warmth but he could not touch it.

The howling of the wind echoed through the snow, gradually forming a song of wind and snow that accompanied Wang Lin's lonely figure.

A few months later, in the collapsed Pill Sea. This place had become a giant basin; there was nothing here. There was no trace of vitality, only desolation and death.

Wang Lin's figure appeared in the sky above the Pill Sea. This was the second time he had come here. Compared to last time, he was in a parting mood.

As Wang Lin walked through the desolate Pill Sea, he had his divine sense spread out. The closer he got to the Green Devil Continent, the more cautious he was. After a month, when he stepped onto the Green Devil Continent, he felt a gloomy aura shrouding the entire continent.

This gloomy aura exuded coldness and bloodthirst, with a hint of evil. Mortals, beasts, and even cultivators born here would contain a hint of devilish nature.

The land of the Green Devil Continent was very different from the Heavenly Bull Continent. There were few mountains, and most of the terrain was occupied by swamps. The endless swamps looked like they contained many terrible legends. It made one's skin crawl just walking over them.

Wang Lin disliked the Green Devil Continent a lot.

There weren't many powerful cultivators left in the Green Devil Continent; mostly weak cultivators that held no threat to Wang Lin remained. However, he still maintained his previous pace where he used Spatial Bending to cross the Green Devil Continent.

He could feel that deep within the Green Devil Continent, there was a mysterious force. This force was monstrous and filled with devilish energy. According to the tortoise shell, that was the location of the Green Devil Continent's Green Devil Scorpion Temple.

The Heavenly Bull Continent didn't have a Heavenly Bull Temple. This kind of temple required permission from the emperor. Without it, a temple couldn't be built.

The devilish energy was very strong, strong enough to affect one's mind. Wang Lin didn't approach that place but went around it. He continued to teleport toward the border of the Meng Earth Continent.

Time slowly passed. In a flash, several months went by. During this time, Wang Lin encountered some cultivators, but none of them could stop him. After several months, Wang Lin appeared at the edge of the Green Devil Continent.

At the border to the Meng Earth Continent was one of the rare mountain ranges in the Green Devil Continent. It was very tall and seemed to connect to the sky. After going over the mountain range, he would be at the Meng Earth Continent.

Standing under the mountain range, Wang Lin calmly looked at the towering mountains. He felt two monstrous devilish energy sources at the peak, which condensed to two giant scorpions that were coiled before the mountain.

Those were two Green Devil Messengers!!

Behind those two devilish energy sources, there was a monstrous sword energy at the peak of the mountain. When Wang Lin arrived, the ancient sword energy released an aura that could destroy the heavens and earth as it floated at the mountaintop.

This was the first time Wang Lin had encountered a power that could stop him in the Green Devil Continent. He felt a familiar aura coming from the sword.

This meant that Wang Lin's decision to leave through the Green Devil Continent was correct. If he had gone any other direction, he would have encountered even more obstacles.

"Three people… They give me too much credit." Wang Lin remained casual and walked toward the mountain. The moment he stepped forward, two Green Devil auras rushed out. From a distance, they looked like two fierce Green Devil Scorpions that were rushing down from the mountaintop toward Wang Lin.

Shortly after, the ancient sword shadow at the top of the mountain let out a powerful sword hymn. It swept across the world and chopped down, following the two shadows.

The world trembled. The power of this sword seemed to replace all light in the world. It was like a ray of light in the void.

There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes and the tattoo on the right side of his face flashed. It transformed into countless black threads that surrounded Wang Lin and turned into a suit of armor that left only his white hair and cold eyes exposed.

After Wang Lin put on the soul armor, his aura erupted and he instantly reached the early stage of Void Tribulant. He stepped forward and instantly closed in on the Green Devil Scorpion that was the first Green Devil messenger.

Just as the two closed in, before Wang Lin even attacked, the Green Devil messenger's cold face revealed a trace of madness. He didn't even use any spells, and the moment Wang Lin arrived, his hands formed a seal and he pointed to the spot between his eyebrows.

Shortly after, a terrifying aura came from his body. This Green Devil messenger was at the mid stage of Void Tribulant, and he actually chose to self-destruct at this moment!!

This was a complete self-destruction without any hesitation. He suddenly exploded!

The self-destruction of a mid stage Void Tribulant cultivator was enough to shake the Green Devil Continent. This force was powerful enough to even make late stage Void Tribulant cultivators frown.

There was no reason or any foreboding. After this Green Devil messenger exploded, the other Green Devil messenger behind him also chose self-destruct!

The self-destruction of two mid stage Void Tribulant cultivators could even force back a late stage Void Tribulant cultivator!

When the two Green Devil messengers exploded, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and a powerful sense of crisis washed over him. The crisis was not from the power of the self-destruction, but why they had decided to self-destruct!!

The fight hadn't even begun, but they had chosen to self-destruct. This was simply too strange. Also, behind him was Void Cloud, who controlled the powerful sword energy. The three of them had the power to fight Wang Lin, so there was no need to self-destruct at all!

This was something extremely abnormal!

To be willing to sacrifice two mid stage Void Tribulant Green Devil Messengers, the Green Devil Continent had to be up to something monstrous. They wouldn't allow Wang Lin to easily leave this place.

Thunderous rumbles echoed and Wang Lin's eyes lit up. His right reached at the void and the human-shaped earth element armor appeared. With a wave, an earth yellow light surrounded his body.

Shortly after, Wang Lin erupted his full cultivation and he no longer hid his Ancient Dao aura. Once his Ancient Dao aura was fully released, a huge figure that could support the world appeared.

The moment the figure appeared, everyone within tens of thousands of kilometers could see it. A clear ripple of Ancient Dao power spread out.

The Ancient Dao shadow let out a roar toward the sky and shrouded Wang Lin from the force of the self-destruction of the two Green Devil messengers.

There was a thunderous bang as the destructive force of the first self-destruction smashed into the Ancient Dao shadow. The shadow trembled and showed signs of collapsing when the destructive force of the second self-destruction arrived.

The rumble was heaven-shattering, and the Ancient Dao shadow powered up by Wang Lin's early stage Void Tribulant cultivation suddenly collapsed!

When the shadow collapsed, a portion of the destructive force from the two self-destructions still remained, and they fell on the first layer of the armor Wang Lin was wearing, the human-shaped earth element armor.

Chapter 1888 - Oath!

The terrifying destructive force was completely resisted by Wang Lin's Ancient Dao shadow, his powerful physical body, and the mysterious human-shaped earth element armor.

Even so, Wang Lin felt his origin soul tremble, and he was forced back tens of thousands of feet as blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. A palm-sized fracture appeared at the chest area of the earth element armor, but it didn't collapse.

"They want to injure me to… delay me!" Wang Lin had tried Spatial Bending, but the area had been sealed. Even with the soul armor, he was unable to cross this mountain.

As Wang Lin retreated, the monstrous sword energy closed in. It was extremely amazing, as if it was going to cut the earth in half with this strike. It instantly closed in.

Wang Lin suddenly raised his head and his right hand punched toward the sword. When facing this kind of extreme sword shadow, spells were too complex. It was better to just throw a punch.

A thunderous rumble echoed as the sword shadow trembled and collapsed. However, Wang Lin felt his right arm go numb and the arm of the human-shaped armor cracked.

The sword energy rushed into Wang Lin's body and was about to launch a destructive attack when Wang Lin suppressed it by force. He charged toward the young man standing at the top of the mountain.

The young man had a cold expression as he stared at Wang Lin. He was Void Cloud!

As Wang Lin closed in, Void Cloud raised his sword and the second strike appeared. A monstrous sword shadow cut down on Wang Lin!

This strike was 30% stronger than the previous one. Wang Lin let out a roar as he threw a punch with his right hand.

Thunderous rumbles echoed and the second sword collapsed. The right arm of Wang Lin's earth element armor exploded.

But after the second strike disappeared, Void Cloud released the third and fourth strikes!

Two monstrous sword energy strikes shot toward Wang Lin. Thunderous rumbles echoed as Wang Lin charged forward. He was about 1,000 feet from Void Cloud, and his face was filled with killing intent.

Void Cloud's face was slightly pale as he stared at Wang Lin. When Wang Lin closed in, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out blood. This blood was golden and turned into sword shadows that shot toward Wang Lin.

Immediately after, he raised his right hand and an ancient sword filled with a royal aura appeared. He grabbed it and jumped into the air. He released the final strike after the nine sword shadows!

When Wang Lin saw the ancient sword that gave off a royal aura, he immediately felt a trace of Grand Empyrean power from it!

This sword was the same as his gold print. It was a treasure formed by a Grand Empyrean by condensing a spell!

As the nine sword shadows closed in. Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He was going to leave. and anyone who tried to block him would have to endure his anger. The armor on his right arm had collapsed, but he still had his left arm!

His left arm formed a first and he threw nine punches at the nine sword shadows!

"Let's see whether your sword is sharper or my fist is harder!"

A thunderous rumble echoed across the mountains, forming a storm that swept the area. The nine sword shadows collapsed and so did the armor on Wang Lin's left arm. However, he was above to move forward 1,000 feet and got within 200 feet of Void Cloud, who was about to release one last strike!

"A treasure condensed from a spell by a Grand Empyrean, I have one as well!" Wang Lin didn't use Sundered Night. Even with his cultivation level increased by the soul armor, he could not use it twice in a row.

He had to save it for the critical moment. The battle with Void Cloud seemed difficult, but not enough for Wang Lin to use Sundered Night!

He had seen through the thoughts of Void Cloud and the two Green Devil Messengers. This battle was purely to delay him.

The moment Wang Lin's words echoed, his right hand reached at the void and a golden print appeared!

After the golden print appeared, it collided with the ancient sword. A thunderous rumble echoed and Void Cloud coughed out blood. He looked weakened now. The sword in his hand shattered into countless fragments and he was knocked into the ground.

A deep crack appeared on Wang Lin's gold print, but it didn't break. It became dim, and Wang Lin put it away. When two treasures made by Grand Empyreans collided, the quality of the treasures and spells didn't matter. The main focus was the amount of faith power they had used to form the treasures.

To be born from nothing was already a mysterious thing. It was obvious that the faith power in Void Cloud's sword was far below that of Wang Lin's gold print!

After putting away the gold print, Wang Lin stood at the top of the mountain and coldly stared at Void Cloud, who landed not far away.

Blood continued to leak out from Void Cloud's mouth. He looked at Wang Lin, and he looked defeated.

"I lost…" He didn't mention the fact that Wang Lin was wearing the Heavenly Bull soul armor nor did he mention the Grand Empyrean treasure. A loss was a loss!

"But you also lost…" Void Cloud struggled to stand up and looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression.

"Your soul armor is almost out of time. Their self-destructions and my effort were to merely delay you here for a while… We didn't think or figure out you would actually leave through here…"

As Void Cloud spoke, Wang Lin charged toward the other side of the mountain. He didn't listen to his nonsense, and as he charged forward, he waved his right hand. A ray of blood light pierced through the eyebrows of the seriously injured Void Cloud.

There was no miserable scream and there was no resistance. The blood sword penetrated Void Cloud's head and returned to Wang Lin.

As for the dead Void Cloud, Wang Lin had no time to check if it was the original body or an avatar. He felt a sense of crisis growing, and this feeling was similar to when he first met Daoist Water.

What Wang Lin was looking at from the endless mountain range was an endless desert. This was the most common type of landscape for the Meng Earth Continent; almost 70% of the continent was like this.

Rumor said that a long time ago, a foreign cultivator came here and was defeated by the Celestial Ancestor. The cultivator was sealed here, and he had a terrifying earth power, so after he was sealed here, this continent became like this.

This person was rumored to be named "Meng," so after countless years, this place was named Meng Earth Continent!

This place was filled with the aura of the earth essence, similar to the Green Devil Continent. The Green Devil Continent was a continent of earth essence. The Green Devil Scorpion was a fierce beast that lived in the earth.

However, it was covered up by its devilish aura, making it difficult to notice.

These rumors were record in detail in the tortoise shell given to Wang Lin. These thoughts appeared in his mind, but he didn't have time to think about them. He borrowed the speed of the soul armor to rush toward the Meng Earth Continent while he couldn't use Spatial Bending.

He was getting closer and closer. The tens of thousands of kilometers of distance were crossed quickly by Wang Lin. He was only 1,000 kilometers away; the Meng Earth Continent was in sight!

But just at this moment, the world changed colors and blinding light came from six different locations before Wang Lin. Ripples echoed. These were signs of transfer arrays activating!

The transfer arrays activated quickly. Just as Wang Lin looked over, dozens of figures appeared in each of the six transfer arrays!

More than 100 figures appeared, and powerful auras spread out.

The activation of these six transfer arrays cost the Green Devil Continent a great price, especially since they were teleporting so many people. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the price. If it was a third step cultivator, the price was indescribable.

And these hundreds of cultivators were all very powerful. Transferring them had depleted more than 100,000 years of savings from the Green Devil Continent!

These people were originally lying in ambush at various borders of the Heavenly Bull Continent, waiting for Wang Lin. However, due to an error in their prediction, they had to forcibly teleport people here. This was only a portion of the people, and there were even more teleporting here.

These cultivators all wore similar clothes. Although the colors were different, the black and white moon patterns on their clothes were all the same!

Wang Lin had seen this pattern on the tortoise shell. This symbol belonged to the number one sect of the Green Devil Continent, the Devil Dao Sect!

The blockades and chase targeting Wang Lin was not an effort by the entire Green Devil Continent, just the Devil Dao Sect!

The Meng Earth Continent was 1,000 kilometers away, but the Devil Dao Sect had arrived to stop Wang Lin. The feeling that a crisis was approaching became even stronger!

Wang Lin's pupils shrank. As he rushed forward, the more than 100 cultivators that had appeared from the six transfer arrays flew out. At the same time, they all threw something toward Wang Lin!

"Nine heads of cultivators from the Extreme Sky Prairie!"

"Six heads of cultivators from the Extreme Sky Prairie!"

"Head of the rogue Void Tribulant cultivator from from the Extreme Sky Prairie!"

"Extreme Sky Prairie…"

Those cold voices echoed through the world and entered Wang Lin's ears, causing his heart to tremble. He looked at the heads and their miserable expressions. He was familiar with them; they were the cultivators that had fought alongside him for several months at the third meridian and survived!

He didn't know their names, but he had remembered their faces. The hundreds of heads were almost half of the people that had survived the Extreme Sky Prairie…

"Don't you like human heads? This is the first gift my Dao Devil Sect is giving you!" A poisonous voice echoed through the world.

"Devil Dao Sect… If I leave this place today, I'll return and destroy your entire sect!!" Wang Lin's eyes revealed a monstrous red light, and he made this oath in his heart. This was the first time he felt such a strong desire to destroy a sect on the Immortal Astral Continent!

Chapter 1889 - Devil Dao Sect's Sect Master!

"Sundered Night!" Wang Lin suddenly turned around. He knew it would be extremely difficult to leave. The Devil Dao Sect was willing to do everything to kill him!

The surrounding cultivators and the heads that covered the earth were enough to explain everything!

If he wanted to leave, he would have to give it his all! He had to be fast, or else more Devil Dao Sect cultivators would arrive through the transfer array. At some point, Wang Lin would have no chance of leaving!

The longer he stayed here, the lower his chance of survival!

After saying these two words, the border to the Meng Earth Continent was suddenly filled with the illusion of a sea and was shrouded by the darkness of night.

After Sundered Night appeared, Wang Lin used the strongest spell he could use as a cultivator. The sun rose and released the power to tear apart the night.

No matter what cultivation level, the hundreds of Devil Dao Sect cultivators let out a miserable screams under the force of Sundered Night. Their bodies collapsed and their origin souls were destroyed.

There was also the hundred people coming through the transfer array. Before their bodies could condense, they died.

After Sundered Night, the world changed colors. Aside from Wang Lin, there was no other living soul. His face was deathly pale and the soul armor was about to dissipate. He didn't hesitate to charged toward the Meng Earth Continent 1,000 kilometers away!

It wasn't that he didn't consider destroying the seven transfer arrays, but these transfers arrays were abnormal. They had remained intact after Sundered Night, meaning he could now destroy them quickly!

In a flash, Wang Lin crossed half of the 1,000 kilometer distance, but at this moment, the seven transfer arrays lit up. Even more powerful fluctuations came from the transfer array and the third wave of 100 cultivators chased after Wang Lin.

There were four mid stage Void Tribulant and four late stage Void Tribulant cultivators among these hundred. The Devil Dao Sect was bringing out almost all their power to hunt Wang Lin!

They were using the force of an entire sect to kill a person! This kind of slaughter was related to private grudges, but that wouldn't be the only reason. No sect master or ancestor of the nine sects and thirteen factions would be so blind!!

Wang Lin's eyes were bloodshot. As the hundred of people chased after him, he knew it would be impossible to cross this 500 kilometer distance. Various spells and treasures from cultivators flew toward Wang Lin. As the five Void Tribulant cultivators closed in, Wang Lin raised his right hand and all the Ancient Dao power inside him erupted. A giant Ancient Dao shadow appeared behind him.

This shadow was a bit blurry. It was apparent it had been damaged from the self-destruction of the two Green Devil Messengers. However, it still gave people a sense of suppression from the bottom of their hearts!

"God Tremble, Army Formation!"

"Demon Spell, Wind and Fire Mountain!"

"Devil Dao, Life and Death Reverse!"

Wang Lin's right hand pushed forward. The 100 cultivators, aside from the late stage Void Tribulant old monsters, all trembled and their flight paths became distorted. They all lined up like a mortal army before Wang Lin!

This was the army formation! The power of God Tremble echoed like ripples, causing half of these cultivators to bleed from their orifices!

Wang Lin's fist opened to a palm and smoke came out of the heads of the cultivators. The smoke condensed into a mountain above them. This mountain was made of smoke and smashed down!

The palm turned into a point. Life and death changed as the cultivators let out miserable cries. Most of them collapsed, but the only late stage Void Tribulant cultivator not restricted by this closed in on Wang Lin. At this moment, Wang Lin's Ancient Dao No Celestial's full power erupted!

"God, Demon, Devil, Ancient Dao No Celestials!"

This Ancient Dao No Celestials was casted after his cultivation level was increased to early stage Void Tribulant by the soul armor. Its power was amazing, and although different from Sundered Night, the destructive power was the same!

Thunderous rumbles rang out and a grey ripple echoed. The 100 cultivators all died. The expression of the late stage Void Tribulant old monster changed and he quickly retreated. However, he still touched the grey ripples.

The old man's face immediately turned white and his legs began to turn into stone. He touched his own body with his hands, and every time he did so, he sent in a burst of energy to resist the Ancient Dao power invading his body.

Aside from him, all the Devil Dao Sect cultivators at the border of the Green Devil Continent died!

Blood flowed out from the corner of Wang Lin's mouth. He had used up all his Ancient Dao power and the armor around him became weak. Parts of it had already turned into threads and it was about to dissipate.

Wang Lin clenched his teeth and rushed forward. In a flash, 500 kilometers became 200 kilometers!

However, just at this moment, the seven transfer arrays lit up once more. The fourth wave of cultivators appeared and chased after Wang Lin.

"War Spirit Print!

"Seven-Colored Lance!

"Dark Moon Clear Sky!

"Flowing Time!!

"Essences, condense!!" Wang Lin's eyes were red. He was going to cast all his spells before his soul armor dissipated to kill these Devil Dao cultivators!

After the War Spirit Print was used, the huge, six-fingered palm print smashed down toward the 100 people. At the same time, the third transformation the Seven-Colored Lance flew forward.

Dark Moon Clear Sky turned into a bloody moon. It began a corrosive slaughter with the reversal of time and the eruption of his essences. When Wang Lin casted all these spells, a thunderous bang echoed. The soul armor around Wang Lin turned into threads and gathered on the right side of his face.

However, under Wang Lin's crazed attacks, almost all the cultivators from the fourth wave died. Only three survived, and they looked at Wang Lin with deep fear in their eyes!

After the continuous attacks, three of the seven transfer arrays finally collapsed!

Wang Lin was knocked back and was only 100 kilometers from the Meng Earth Continent, but not only did the feeling of the crisis not lessen, it became even stronger.

The four remaining transfer arrays were no longer fixed, but a strange force shrouded them, allowing them to move in a way no cultivator could. In a flash, they appeared 50 kilometers away from Wang Lin.

The moment they appeared, they released a blinding light and the fifth wave of 100 cultivators rushed out toward Wang Lin, filled with killing intent!

The moment these cultivators appeared, the several Void Tribulant cultivators that had dodged Wang Lin's attack closed in. They circled Wang Lin, not giving him a chance to escape.

Wang Lin's eyes were bloodshot. Only a small portion of his soul armor hadn't dissipated. His spells seemed to have been used up, but he still had a trick left!

His fire essence true body appeared and suddenly spread out. In instantly shrouded the area.

"Ethereal Fire, burn!!" Wang Lin roared with his hoarse voice. The 100 cultivators here were filled with emotions, so they were the best fuel for Ethereal Fire!

The Ethereal Fire began to burn the cultivators. Bursts of fire lit up and miserable screams echoed.

"Anyone who blocks me will die!!" Wang Lin bit his tongue to force his fatigue to disappear. With a roar, he rushed forward. With a flash of blood-colored light, the blood sword appeared in his right hand. He waved his left hand and the Vice Ghostly Sail appeared. The sail turned into black fog which then turned into countless ghosts that rushed out before Wang Lin!

This scene was simply shocking. The cultivators being burnt by Ethereal Fire were either killed by the fire or by Wang Lin's blood sword. The rest didn't dare to attack while facing Wang Lin's monstrous killing intent that would kill anything that got in his way.

As Wang Lin charged forward, he was filled with killing intent and across the 100 kilometer distance. More and more of the 100 cultivators died as the rest retreated and looked at Wang Lin in terror.

It wasn't that they hadn't met a powerful cultivator before, but someone as murderous and difficult to kill as Wang Lin was extremely rare. The price of killing Wang Lin would be even greater than opening the large transfer arrays!

This price was likely a sect being wiped out! A heavy cost that would make the nine sects and thirteen factions into eight sects and thirteen factions!!

The moment Wang Lin stepped onto the Meng Earth Continent, the rest of the soul armor on his body returned back to the Heavenly Bull Tattoo on the right side of his face. A sense of weakness washed over his body, but he suppressed it again.

There was still the human-shaped earth element armor on his body. Although half of it had collapsed, it still provided powerful protection.

Standing on the Meng Earth Continent, he staggered as blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth and he rushed away. He understood that as a rogue cultivator, he could cross between two continents. However, large amounts of Devil Dao Sect disciples entering was very different.

The Devil Dao Sect must have considered this; otherwise, they wouldn't have ordered two Green Devil Messengers to self-destruct and Void Cloud to delay him to make sure he stayed in the Green Devil Continent. If they didn't care, they could have just slaughtered their way into the Meng Earth Continent to chase after him.

As Wang Lin guessed, the cultivators of the Dao Devil Sect stopped outside the Meng Earth Continent. They hesitated and didn't continue to chase.

But just at this moment, four of the transfer arrays shined once more. Three of them brought dozens of cultivators, while the fourth transfer array only had one person!

"Sect Master!!"

"Greetings, Sect Master!!" When this man appeared, all the cultivators bowed.

Chapter 1890 - Calamity? Fortune?

The person who walked out from the fourth transfer array was a middle-aged man. He was wearing a black and white daoist robe. He was tall and gave off an abnormal aura. He was very handsome, but his lips were thin, which gave him a cold aura.

This person was definitely harsh and merciless. He would never use up the power of an entire sect just to kill one person.

The moment he walked out of the formation, the aura of a peak late stage Void Tribulant cultivator spread out. The moment his aura spread out, the world changed colors. It was as if countless devil gods had appeared and started roaring.

He was one step away from peak Void Tribulant!

After he walked out, all the Devil Dao Sect cultivators half knelt to the ground and lowered their heads.

Only this man stood there and looked at Wang Lin, who was escaping deeper into the Meng Earth Continent, with an indifferent gaze/

Wang Lin's heart trembled. The moment the middle-aged man had walked out of the formation, the hidden sense of crisis he felt suddenly erupted.

This life or death crisis came from the middle-aged man behind him. The Devil Dao Sect's sect master!!

Wang Lin didn't look back; he moved as fast as he could. He still couldn't use Spatial Bending, so he moved into the distance like a shadow.

He could feel that he only needed to fly out a bit more and the force that sealed the world would disappear. Then he could merge with the world.

However, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master was calm and didn't hesitate like the other Devil Dao cultivators. He stepped across the border and entered the Meng Earth Continent!

The moment he entered the Meng Earth Continent, he floated in the air and looked at Wang Lin. He slowly raised his right hand and pointed at the sky.

"Devil, Dao!" These were the first two words he said!

The moment his words echoed, the endless mountain range at the border of the two continents began to tremble violently. This trembling quickly spread, creating a thunderous rumble.

As the rumble echoed, the dragon-like mountain range was pulled by an invisible force. At the edge of the left side of the mountain range, the force gathered to form a giant figure.

This figure was that of a whited-haired old man wearing a white robe. He had the air of a celestial. He had a kind smile as he waved his sleeve at the mountain range.

At the same time, at the other end of the mountain range, another giant shadow appeared. This was a devilish shadow covered in devilish energy. It was a cold-looking young man wearing a black robe. He gave off a defying aura filled with bloodthirst and killing intent.

When he appeared, he pointed at the mountain range below.

This scene shocked all the Devil Dao Sect cultivators. They looked at their sect master with feverish gazes.

Under the spells of the celestial-looking old man in the daoist robe and the devilish young man in the black robe, the endless mountain range rumbled. The mountain range that was tens of thousands of kilometers wide was uprooted from the earth!

The world rumbled as the mountain rose into the air. From afar, it looked like a dragon had risen into the sky!

With a point from the Devil Dao Sect's sect master, there was a deafening howl and the tens of thousands of kilometers mountain range flew toward the Meng Earth Continent. It's speed could not be imagined, and it flew past Wang Lin in the blink of an eye.

Wang Lin was startled for a moment. He saw the mountain range fly over him and land 2,000 kilometers away, in the desert of the Meng Earth Continent. If this mountain range was the boundary between the two continents, then Wang Lin was still in the Green Devil Continent!

The feeling of life or death increased like crazy until it formed a giant shadow that shrouded Wang Lin's heart.

"This way, you are still in the Green Devil Continent…" The Devil Dao Sect's sect master calmly said the second sentence since he came here. At the same time, he stepped forward and appeared less than 1,000 feet away from Wang Lin in a flash.

Wang Lin gritted his teeth and rushed forward. He knew it would be very difficult for him to escape, but it was impossible for him to simply give up!

"Don't be afraid, I will not kill you. I have great use for you!" The Devil Dao Sect's sect master's eyes revealed a strange light. There was a hint of contempt in them, as if he was looking at an ant. He waved his sleeve at Wang Lin.

He was simply too powerful. At this moment, Wang Lin's soul armor had dissipated and his cultivation level had returned back to late stage Spirit Void. After using so many spells, Wang Lin was like an empty oil lamp. The difference between their cultivation levels was simply too great. With that wave, Wang Lin revealed a decisive gaze and closed his eyes to connect to his avatar in the void.

The moment the Devil Dao Sect's sect master waved his sleeve, an extra aura appeared around Wang Lin's body. His eyes turned golden and he waved his hand back.

The world rumbled and Wang Lin's body trembled violently. He coughed out blood and was knocked back as he rushed toward the mountain range. This person was too strong; even if Wang Lin could borrow power from the avatar, he would still be no match for this person!

The collision just now had caused him to become seriously injured, and he was going to pass out. He bit his tongue to force himself to stay awake.

The Devil Dao Sect's sect master exclaimed softly. His eyes revealed a strange light as he looked at the escaping Wang Lin and shook his head.

"It indeed… is the destined person… At this point, he could still resist an attack from me… Very well. In this case, let me show you the true power of the Devil Dao Sect's handprint… Don't you know it as well?" The middle-aged man raised his right hand and pushed at the sky.

The sky seemed to collapse and fish scale-like ripples appeared. In a flash, the celestial-like old man in the white daoist robe appeared. He stood in the air like he was looking down upon all life, and his gaze fell on the escaping Wang Lin. He rushed down from the sky toward Wang Lin.

As the figure rushed out, he turned into a giant, white palm print. This palm print didn't have five fingers, but seven!

On the other side of the celestial-like old man was a devilish-looking youth in a black robe. He stepped out with a cold snort and turned into a giant, black, seven-finger palmprint that smashed down on Wang Lin!

From afar, it looked like the world had turned into a painting. The black and white palm prints fell from the sky toward Wang Lin. Soon, the two prints fused 10,000 feet above Wang Lin to form a black and white celestial devil palmprint!

When this palmprint appeared, the world seemed to turn upside down and everything turned into a blur. Wang Lin stopped running and looked up at the giant celestial devil palmprint descending. He silently pondered.

There was no despair or sorrow within him; he was calm with a trace of regret.

Wang Lin understood that he could not avoid this calamity. He regretted that he hadn't revived Li Muwan and that he hadn't found his friends on the Immortal Astral Continent.

With a sigh, Wang Lin closed his eyes. When he closed his eyes, he didn't give up struggling but called the Heaven Defying Bead that was in his soul that he hadn't used in a long time!!

Heaven Defying Bead!

The palm print instantly closed in on Wang Lin. At this moment, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master suddenly felt his heart skip a beat and an indescribable sense of shock emerged in his mind. Without hesitation, he waved his right hand.

A sound wave spread out in all directions. The palm print grabbed Wang Lin but didn't kill him. With the wave from the Devil Dao Sect's sect master, the palm firmly buried Wang Lin at its center.

After doing all of this, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master flew into the air and fused with the palm print. He then flew into the depths of the Green Devil Continent. The cultivators of the Devil Dao Sect followed their sect master into the distance.

After everyone left, the mountain range in the distance slowly retreated back to its original position. The Meng Earth Continent didn't respond, as if they had already reached an agreement.

Rays of light filled the sky. The Devil Dao Sect's sect master looked calm, but he had doubts in his heart. At that moment, he had a feeling that if he had tried to kill Wang Lin, he would have caused a major disaster.

This kind of feeling was extremely rare for him, so he couldn't ignore it!

"This person is… the destined person, so he must have some secret methods… He is very cunning. If we had gone with the original plan, we wouldn't have had to pay such a price…"

While pondering, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master moved faster and faster toward the center of the Green Devil Continent. The location of the Green Devil Scorpion Temple!

"Suppress this person in the Green Devil Scorpion Temple. Use his body to nourish the Green Devil and use his soul to revive the Green Devil!!"

Chapter 1891 - Borrowing Thunder to Erase the Soul

Several months later, at the center of the Green Devil Continent. This place was a large, green swamp, and large amounts of bubbles formed over the swamp, giving off the smell of decay. This place was covered in a green fog that came from the bubbles and had gathered for countless years.

In this swamp that covered tens of thousands of kilometers, there was a towering building. It was obvious at first glance that this building was a giant scorpion!

The scorpion was hundreds of thousands of feet large. It lied on the swamp and looked very life-like! It released powerful devilish energy, causing most cultivators to be unable to get close. The devilish energy would enter their bodies and cause them to go crazy.

Aside from the sect master, all the cultivators of the Devil Dao Sect returned to the sect. Only the sect master arrived outside the Green Devil Scorpion Temple with Wang Lin.

Only with his cultivation level, he would not be affected by the devilish energy here.

At this moment, the sect master appeared next to the huge scorpion building. After he appeared, a weak cough came from below the giant scorpion.

This cough was weak, but in this silent environment, it was extremely clear.

As the cough slowly approached, three figures slowly walked out from the mouth of the scorpion.

Among the three figures, the two in the back wore green dao robes. They both had the mark of a scorpion on their robes. The two of them looked only middle-aged but gave off the aura of mid stage Void Tribulant cultivators. Their expressions were cold, as if they had no emotions.

The two of them were like guards guarding a figure covered completely in a green robe. This figure looked extremely old, and as the figure walked out, it coughed.

The old figure that was coughing stopped and asked with a hoarse voice, "Did you bring the person back…"

The Devil Dao Sect's sect master was very polite to the old man hidden in the green robe. He clasped his hands and nodded.

"I have brought him here. Take a look, Ji Si."

After he spoke, he waved his right hand and a figure covered in black and white appeared. Wang Lin's eyes were closed as he sat there motionlessly.

"Very good. He should be very good at suppressing the luck of the Green Devil Continent and satisfying Lord Green Devil…" The old man looked up. Although his face couldn't be seen, his demonic eyes inside the green robe looked at Wang Lin with satisfaction.

The Devil Dao Sect's sect master slowly said, "In order to capture him, my Devil Dao Sect paid a great price."

"Once Lord Green Devil has been resurrected, you will have the reward you were promised! But to suppress this person, I'll need your Grand Devil Dao Law. You know what to do, erase his origin soul, destroy his mind and memory!" The old man's voice was hoarse and he looked at Wang Lin excitedly.

"This person's will is extremely strong, it won't be easy to destroy his mind and memory…" The Devil Dao Sect's sect master smiled and didn't immediately start.

"Cough… In the future, the Green Devil Continent will only have one sect, the Devil Dao Sect!" The old man covered in the green robe coughed violently for a long time before he spoke.

"Good. Since Ji Si has given his word, I'll use my full strength and use the Grand Devil Dao Law to plant the seed of Devil Dao Transformation. Let him destroy his own mind!" The Devil Dao Sect's sect master laughed and no longer hesitated. His right hand pierced the light and pointed to the spot between Wang Lin's eyebrows. He grabbed the black and white light that was wrapped around Wang Lin and threw it into the huge scorpion building.

Wang Lin was suddenly throw toward the scorpion, creating a howl as he flew. When he landed, a giant vortex appeared on the back of the scorpion and sucked him in.

"He has many essences in his body. There are a total of eight, and one of them has formed an essence true body! Among the eight, one of them is the same as mine, which is the thunder essence!

"I'll use this thunder essence as the link to destroy his mind and memory!" The Devil Dao Sect's sect master sat down. He closed his eyes and remained motionless.

The green-robed old man at the mouth of the scorpion turned and walked inside. The cough slowly faded and the two Green Devil Messenger-like guards didn't speak at all as they disappeared into the Scorpion.

In the deepest part of the scorpion was a void filled with endless green lights. Each green light was a large number of green scorpion souls. They gathered in this space and constantly howled.

Wang Lin was sitting inside this space and remained motionless. However, countless green scorpions gathered around him and covered most of his body.

His body didn't move, but there were flash of thunder in his right eye. An essence was moving through his body like crazy. It was his thunder essence!

This thunder essence moved around, causing popping sounds to come from his body. Arcs of thunder would spread out across his body.

At this moment, Wang Lin was in a coma. His mind and soul were silent with no sign of movement. However, what outsiders couldn't see, not even Ji Si or the Devil Dao Sect's sect master, was that a bead was slowly rotating in Wang Lin's soul.

Every time it turned once, Wang Lin's soul, mind, and memories would tremble a bit while being protected by a layer of soft light.

At this moment, it was as if he was separated from his body. In his strange state, his thunder essence became even more powerful and soon overpowered the rest of his essences. Although it was still a bit inferior to the fire essence that had formed an essence true body, it was getting closer and closer in power.

It was as if an invisible passage had been created between Wang Lin's body and the sect master's body. It was slowly fusing with his thunder essence that hadn't formed an essence true body yet.

Time slowly passed. In a flash, several months went by.

During these months, Wang Lin's thunder essence had become even stronger and thunderous rumbles were echoing in his body. He continued to absorb the Devil Dao Sect's sect master's thunder essence that contained its own will.

In these few months of time, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master, who was sitting outside, frowned. He didn't expect Wang Lin's thunder essence to absorb so much of his thunder essence and still not form its own will.

His original plan was that in just one month of time, his thunder essence would completely replace Wang Lin's thunder essence. Because his thunder essence contained his will, he could use this method to perfectly erase Wang Lin's divine sense and memories according to Ji Si's request.

If not for Ji Si's request, he would've used one of the countless other methods to erase Wang Lin's mind. However, those methods were too rough and could leave damage. Even the smallest bit of damage could affect the resurrection of the Green Devil Scorpion in the future.

On a day in the fourth month, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master would not bear it anymore and said, "Ji Si, I need your help. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to do what you requested."

He felt helpless because even though almost all his thunder essence had entered Wang Lin's body, it still couldn't replace Wang Lin's essence to form its own will.

This was very strange. It was as if there was a vortex in Wang Lin's body that was absorbing his will. The truth was just as he suspected. Every time the Heaven Defying Bead turned, aside from protecting Wang Lin, it would also absorb a bit of the foreign entities in Wang Lin's body.

"I'm here… Cough…" An ancient voice and hoarse voice came from the scorpion. Before it could finish speaking, there was a violent coughing fit that lasted for a long time before the voice continued.

"I have two Thunder Emperor Beads I got from the Thunder Emperor Continent. I originally planned to give them to the lord once he awakened… I'll give you one…" As the voice echoed, there was a bolt of grey lightning. The scorpion shined and a ray of light flew toward the Devil Dao Sect's sect master.

It instantly closed in and turned into a fist-sized bead. This bead was filled with countless bolts of thunder, and there was the shadow of a chariot inside. There was also the vague figure of a person on the chariot who looked like the emperor of thunder!

With the Devil Dao Sect's sect master's cultivation level and knowledge, he felt his heart skip a beat. His eyes revealed a strange light and he struggled for a moment before he gave up on the idea. This was a gift for the Green Scorpion after it revived, so he wouldn't dare to take it. If not for the need to wipe out Wang Lin's divine sense and memory, Ji Si would have never taken it out.

The Devil Dao Sect's sect master no longer hesitated. He opened his mouth and inhaled. The countless threads of thunder flew into his mouth and were devoured by him. Before he could keep any, all of them were sucked into Wang Lin's body by the Grand Devil Dao Law.

Deep inside the scorpion in the green space, Wang Lin's body trembled violently. The thunder essence in his body suddenly powered up greatly and show signs of forming a thunder essence true body!

Chapter 1892 - The Dream of the Past Comes True!

Wang Lin's thunder essence became even more powerful as he continued to absorb. Due to the Heaven Defying Bead, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master was unable to condense his will and erase Wang Lin's mind.

However, at this moment, after the Devil Dao Sect's sect master devoured the Thunder Emperor Bead, the endless thunder essence that entered his body was absorbed by Wang Lin's body like crazy.

Wang Lin's body trembled violently and his long hair moved without any wind. Countless arcs of thunder moved around his body and gave off endless thunder might.

This thunder might was heaven-shattering - so much so that even this green space trembled. The green light gathered to form a large amount of green scorpions around Wang Lin, and they roared silently.

However, as this incredibly powerful thunder essence entered Wang Lin's body and was about to condense the Devil Dao Sect's sect master's will, the Heaven Defying bead slowly turned. It sucked away some of the will. It was like a fountain that was about to overflow with water suddenly stopped. Then a balance was reached and the water began to slowly recede.

"How can this be!?" Outside the scorpion building, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master in the fog suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a look of disbelief. He could not see the Heaven Defying Bead inside Wang Lin's body. To him, Wang Lin's body was normal and he had no idea where his lost will had gone.

He wasn't the only one who noticed that something was wrong. Inside the Scorpion Temple, the old man named Ji Si also frowned. After muttering a bit, he coughed and waved his sleeve.

Another bolt of thunder flew out from the scorpion building and turned into the same Thunder Emperor Bead. It then flew toward the Devil Dao Sect's sect master.

The old and hoarse voice came out and was mixed with coughing. "The last Thunder Emperor Bead. Even the Thunder Emperor Continent has less than three remaining. If you still can't succeed, then all the promises from before will be void!"

The Devil Dao Sect's sect master was extremely gloomy. He didn't think it would be this difficult. He stared at the Thunder Emperor Bead and the veins on his face bulged. He then opened his mouth and inhaled. The thunder rushed into his mouth.

The moment he devoured the bead, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master formed a seal and pressed it against his eyebrows. He let out a roar at the sky.

"Thunder essence, scatter!!" With a roar, all the thunder essence in his body was released by him without any hesitation, and all of it rushed into Wang Lin. This thunder contained all of his will, so he had to succeed this time!

The thunder essence also contained a powerful surge of thunder from the second Thunder Emperor Bead. It pushed the Devil Dao Sect's sect master's will toward Wang Lin rapidly.

As the indescribable thunder essence rushed forward, Wang Lin's body inside the green space trembled once more. Even more thunder arched around his body and suddenly expanded to more than 1,000 feet in radius. The area 1,000 feet around Wang Lin became a thunder hell!

The thunder moved and shined brightly. Wang Lin's head rose outside of his control and the thunder mark in his right eye flashed nine times before it flew out.

The thunder mark rushed out and turned into a giant thunder mark 1,000 feet above Wang Lin. The moment it appeared, it began absorbing the surrounding thunder like crazy. As the thunder fused with the mark, a human-shaped outline appeared around the thunder mark!!!

This was the outline of an essence true body. Although it hadn't formed yet, judging by its current state, it wouldn't take long before it turned into an essence true body!!

In a flash, all the thunder around here was absorbed and then even more thunder erupted from Wang Lin's body. Thunder came out of every pore in Wang Lin's body. It wasn't just one strand of thunder from each of the 108,000 pores, but at least 10 strands of thunder.

This was a large amount of thunder - enough to shake the world. The thunder occupied every corner of this space and almost replaced the green light, turning this space into a thunder space!

This large amount of thunder rushed into the human outline in the thunder mark. The rumble was so loud that it could be heard clearly outside the Scorpion Temple. The fusion of all this thunder caused part of the Green Devil Continent to tremble.

The human-shaped outline continued to absorb thunder and grew rapidly. Inside the outline, bones made of thunder began to form. Each bone was formed by countless strands of thunder tightly arranged together. In a flash, a full skeleton had appeared.

Shortly after, as large amounts of thunder entered, fine lines appeared, forming the nerves, flesh, and blood. When the last strand of thunder was absorbed, what floated above the unconscious Wang Lin was another Wang Lin!!

Its eyes were closed and it was surrounded by thunder. It was born from thunder, and just by standing there, it would make all thunder in the world yield.

Thunder essence true body!!

The thunder essence true body Wang Lin dreamed of was born in such a way. However, this essence true body didn't belong to Wang Lin. Instead, it belonged to the Devil Dao Sect's sect master!!

Because this thunder essence true body contained the will of the Devil Dao Sect's sect master!

Outside the scorpion building, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master was struggling. He sensed the existence of the thunder essence true body and was shocked. He had underestimated Wang Lin again. He didn't think that Wang Lin's comprehension of this essence would be so deep that after forming the fire essence true body, he would have the potential to give birth to a second essence true body!!

At this moment, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master was in a dilemma. He longed for the thunder essence true body, but if he took it, he couldn't fulfill Ji Si's request.

While he struggled, a cough came from the scorpion building. When the Devil Dao Sect's sect master heard this, he revealed a decisive gaze.

"Compared to the benefits promised by the Green Devil Scorpion once it revives, although the thunder essence true body is precious, it isn't impossible to give up!" The Devil Dao Sect's sect master's hands quickly formed seals and he pointed to the spot between his eyebrows. He closed his eyes and focused his attention on the thunder essence true body above Wang Lin in the green space inside the scorpion!

The thunder essence true body trembled. With its eyes closed, it raised its right hand and pressed down on Wang Lin below. The moment the hand pressed down, Wang Lin's body trembled. The last seven strands of thunder essence flew out from the orifices of Wang Lin's raised head!

They came out of the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and the thunder went into the matching orifices on the thunder essence true body one by one. The moment those seven strands went into the thunder essence true body, it opened its eyes!

It revealed a gloomy gaze and was filled with the aura of the Devil Dao Sect's sect master. Its body trembled and the thunder of the world trembled with it. Outside the scorpion, outside the temple, large amounts of shocking thunder appeared over most of the Green Devil Continent.

Thunderous rumbles rang out loudly and rushed toward the Scorpion Temple at the center at an unimaginable speed!

The speed of this thunder was indescribable, and faster than any thunder. It was like Spatial Bending. It all rushed into the green space inside the scorpion at the Scorpion Temple.

In an instant, the thunder essence true body was surrounded by this surge of thunder, forming a suit of armor. It also formed a crown on its head!!

This was the crown of the thunder emperor!!

The moment the crown formed, the endless thunder that was gathering condensed to form a thunder war chariot.

It was at this moment that the thunder essence true body was completely formed!

Wang Lin's body, which was sitting below, violently trembled. The Heaven Defying Bead was not hidden but was activated, protecting his origin soul. His awakening was due to that tremble in his heart.

The moment Wang Lin awakened, he opened his eyes and saw the thunder essence true body that had formed in the sky!!

When Wang Lin saw the thunder essence true body, he trembled for a moment. He was still in a daze, but he soon understood everything!!

He was startled because of the shocking scene that was revealed when he used the Soul Eye Dao for the first time in the Great Soul Sect!

That scene was exactly the same as what he was seeing now!!

Back then, Wang Lin saw that his own thunder essence true body was going to use thunder to suppress him. He didn't understand how his essence true body could possibly do this!

After all, the thunder essence body was formed by him and completely belonged to him. What he had seen was impossible, yet it had come true!
