Chapter 1403 - Stepping Into the Proper Dao of Power

There was a thunderous bang and the lake became violent. A layer of water suddenly collapsed and countless drops of water appeared. Then another layer of water suddenly collapsed, and this cycle continued. In an instant, layers of water from the lake dissipated into water vapor and rose into the air.

The water level of the lake immediately dropped by 10 feet.

This scene was very ordinary and didn't seem special at all. If it was a spell, even turning the entire lake to gas would be very simple.

Forget this old man, even Wang Lin had dozens of methods to deliver a blow that looked much stronger than this.

"Very ordinary, isn't it?" The old man looked at Wang Lin with a profound smile.

Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he stared at the surface of the lake and recalled what he had just seen. He began to ponder as he stared at the lake.

Seeing Wang Lin like this, the old man became even more happy and didn't disturb Wang Lin. He wanted to see how good Wang Lin's comprehension was and whether Wang Lin could understand the meaning behind this technique.

"Back when I learned this from the Ancestor, I couldn't learn the meaning behind it by myself. Not even the amazing fourth generation Vermillion Bird junior was able to understand the core, he could only grasp the edge. It wasn't until the Ancestor explained it that we suddenly realized the true meaning. Let's see how the sixth generation does.

"However, this child's talent can't compare to that of the fourth generation. His current cultivation level should be all from lucky encounters, or perhaps it was due to that disciple the fourth generation Vermillion Bird once talked about.

"Otherwise, there would be no way for him to reach the terrifying cultivation level of reaching the edge of Ethereal Fire in just over 2,000 years of cultivation. Even the Ancestor couldn't have done this at this age." Just then, the old man suddenly thought about Wang Lin's five essences and paused for a moment.

"Maybe… Maybe this guy will see through it?" The old man was a bit gloomy as he looked at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin frowned, and the scene from before kept replaying in his mind. The old man's palm looked very normal and had only shook the lake. The water droplets had flown up and collided with each other countless times before turning into water vapor.

However, going by the old man's words, this spell contained a profound truth… While pondering, Wang Lin walked next to the lake and crouched down. He gently pressed his hand against the surface of the lake. He didn't use a spell, he simply touched the water like a mortal.

The moment his hand descended toward the surface of the lake, Wang Lin felt a rebound force. This rebound force was extremely weak and almost imperceptible, like this was how it should be.

Although the surface of the water was very soft, it could still allow leaves to float. When his palm pressed against it, he would naturally feel a rebound force. This matter would not have caught Wang Lin's attention in the past, and he previously wouldn't have considered why it was like this.

これは家です!本当に驚きです.Iconike

However, right now, when this rebound force appeared, Wang Lin's eyes narrowed.

Ripples echoed across the lake and more ripples spread out from his palm. The lake was like his heart, and a ripple had been set off in his heart.

He was different from other people; Wang Lin was an ancient god. They didn't have many spells, but their bodies were extremely powerful. One punch was enough to annihilate a cultivation planet. This was the core of the ancient gods' strength!

It was because of this that Wang Lin's grasp of force greatly differed from that of cultivators that relied on spells or treasures.

"When I was reading books as a child, I heard of dripping water drilling into rock. Water may seem soft, but in truth, water is extremely tough. When it falls on the rock, it has to withstand the rebound force. The countless droplets create a rebound force that eventually allows the water to penetrate the rocks!

"Forget rocks, if an ancient god took the place of the rock, even they would be penetrated by water droplets after a long time!" Enlightenment appeared in Wang Lin's eyes and he looked at the old man.

The old man's expression became serious, also containing a trace of shock. He didn't expect Wang Lin to grasp the edge of this spell by himself!

"This child's talent can't compare to the fourth generation Vermillion Bird, the difference is like heaven and earth. This enlightenment is too frightening, and he was able to use his comprehension to make up for his lack of talent to reach the same degree of understanding of this secret spell as the fourth generation Vermillion Bird! No wonder he has five essences. It seems like it wasn't an accident…" The old man took a deep breath and looked at Wang Lin with admiration. He was about to open his mouth to explain the rest. In his view, this was already Wang Lin's limit, and Wang Lin wouldn't be able to look deeper into this matter.

However, before he could speak, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he slowly said, "This is only secondary…"

The old man was startled.

"Water contains tenacity and softness, and after forming the lake, it also contains a rebound force… The more power contained in my palm, the more powerful the rebound force! The rebound force that appears the moment I throw the punch is no weaker than the punch itself!

"As a result, it is as if two types of forces suddenly cross and then create a powerful collison. When Senior's palm fell on the water, the water droplets collided countless times, causing part of the lake to disintegrate!

"That disintegration was a change of state to change the water directly into water vapor! Although it looked simple, it contained a heaven-shaking force!

"The power to change the state of living things!" As Wang Lin spoke, his eyes became brighter and his mind became more clear. Ideas poured into his mind and he replayed what the old man had done tens of thousands of times.

"This should be it. Senior's palm contained that law. One punch could even cause a cultivation planet to collapse. Although there would still be a rebound force, by the time the rebound force appeared, the cultivation planet would already be destroyed.

"However, water is different. The toughness of water can't be underestimated. After enough water has gathered, the power it can withstand is shocking. If the same punch landed in the sea, the rebound force would be enough to cause a person to collapse!"

The old Vermillion Bird stared at Wang Lin with wide eyes. The fright he had when he saw that Wang Lin had five essences reappeared.

"This comprehension of the heavens is something this old man has never seen before. This comprehension is more powerful than any kind of talent! It wasn't a fluke for this child to obtain essences!" The old Vermillion Bird took a deep breath, and his gaze toward Wang Lin became even stranger.

At this moment, he didn't know that once Wang Lin learned the Ancient Soul Restriction, he would have a chance to reach the peak of restrictions and achieve the Void Realm and obtain the void essence!

Of course, this chance was low, but it existed.

"What Senior is trying to teach Junior is how to use this rebound force. Thus, when I throw a punch, I can borrow the rebound force to kill my enemy, as my power would increase greatly! It can even change the state of objects. Although it's not a spell, this method can be considered a spell! Senior wants Junior to learn this?" Wang Lin's eyes were bright and there was a flash of joy in his eyes. A normal battle between cultivators wouldn't involve punches and kicks. However, Wang Lin was an ancient god, so this was similar to a spell to him!

In Wang Lin's ancient god memories, there was no such method of using force. This lesson from the second generation Vermillion Bird meant a lot to Wang Lin!

When he thought of his battle with Tuo Sen, it was clear that Tuo Sen was much stronger. In their battle back then, it was like a child fighting an adult!

It wasn't too much to say that he only knew how to use the raw strength of the ancient gods.

The old Vermillion Bird swallowed and sighed in his heart. He had lived for a long time and was an old monster, so it wasn't hard for him to put up an act. He slowly said, "Good, everything you said were simple truths, exactly what I wanted to tell you."

Although the old Vermillion Bird had said this, he thought in his heart, "Damn it, I can't let this kid see through me. If he finds out that this old man couldn't even comprehend this back then, all my face as an elder will be lost… If I had known this, I would have passed him the White Tiger or Azure Dragon secret spells. Those things are not meant to be cultivated by humans. With this little monster's comprehension, he should go study those things."

The old Vermillion Bird quickly let out a dry cough to avoid the topic. His eyes widened and he said, "Good. Now that you've learned the secret spell, follow me to the trial. Once you complete the trial, go use Master Simo to show off your might!"

After he spoke, he waved his sleeve and they both turned into Ethereal Fire before flying to the northwest.

Wang Lin carefully looked at the Ethereal Fire and was secretly shocked.

"Is this Ethereal Fire… There is no heat at all, but it gives the illusion that my soul is burning!"

With the old Vermillion Bird's cultivation level, he immediately brought Wang Lin above the arena in the northwest region. Right now there were two cultivators fighting for the position of elder.

There were 10,000 cultivators around the arena observing them, and there were several spots where no cultivators dared to approach.

One of those locations was where Master Simo and Grandmaster Yun Luo were located!

Another location a father and daughter pair covered in blue light!

In another place, there was only one person. He wore green and looked like a young man. He laid lazily on a cloud, looking at the two people fighting below. He yawned as he took out a peach and took a bite.

There was a giant lizard coiled up in the last location. The beast was black and looked ferocious as it floated in the air. On its back sat an old man wearing animal skins.

This old man's face was filled with holes and bumps, and there were fist sized earrings on each of his ears. His lips had four red needles pierced through them, as if sealing his mouth!

Just at this moment, the expressions of these people changed and they all looked up!

Chapter 1404 - The Biased Old Vermillion Bird

"A few old fellows came." Just as everyone looked up, the old Vermillion Bird's voice echoed across the sky in a taunting manner. As he descended, the ethereal fire around him scattered and dissipated without a trace.

This revealed Wang Lin's figure behind the old Vermillion Bird.

Just as Wang Lin appeared, a few gazes fell on him.

The first gaze was from Master Simo. His gaze was cold and filled with killing intent.

The second gaze was gentle. It contained a hint of confusion and reminiscence. It came from the daughter covered in blue light.

The third gaze came from the handsome young man eating the peach. His eyes shined and he revealed a smile that wasn't a smile.

Wang Lin's expression remained calm as his gaze swept past the father and daughter covered in blue light. There was a hint of complication in his eyes, but that soon dissipated.

Wang Lin clasped his hands and respectfully said, "Junior greets Senior Dao Master Blue Dream."

Dao Master Blue Dream smiled as he nodded and said, "I really did underestimate you before."

The old Vermillion Bird was shocked by the fact that Wang Lin knew Dao Master Blue Dream. Then his gaze swept by Li Qianmei and he smiled mischievously before ignoring this matter. Then his gaze locked onto Master Simo.

"Little kid, what are you looking at? Are you dissatisfied with this old man? Do you want to challenge this old man? Come and fight, this old man will play with you." The old Vermillion Bird didn't have the grace of a senior as he stared at Master Simo and made a taunting gesture with his index finger.

Master Simo's expression changed. He knew that the old man was the the first Young Emperor of the Fallen Land. This was someone just below the Great Emperor, and he was very famous. The Sovereign Council was still doing research on this person, and this old fellow was not easy to deal with.

The killing intent in Master Simo's eyes had disappeared. He clasped his hands and softly said, "Senior's cultivation is heaven-piercing. Junior… Junior is no match."

"Hmph, you won't dare to fight this old man, but you want to provoke my junior. You deserve a beating!" No matter how the old Vermillion Bird looked at Master Simo, he found him to be an eyesore. He let out a cold snort and waved his right hand.

No spell seemed to appear with that wave, but Grandmaster Yun Luo's expression changed greatly and she retreated without hesitation. Master Simo's pupils also shrank and he let out a roar as he began to form hand seal. However, before he could complete it, a thunderous rumble echoed.

Master Simo quickly retreated from this rumble. His hand was trembling and his face was pale. An ethereal fire was burning inside him, and it flashed three times. Every time it flashed, the burning power inside his body increased.

After three flashes, Master Simo's body trembled violently and he coughed out blood. His eyes were filled with terror.

"Senior is bullying a junior before everyone here. What is the meaning of this?!" Anger appeared on Master Simo's face, but the anger seemed to feed the ethereal fire around him, causing it to become even more powerful.

Master Simo coughed out blood once more. At this moment, Grandmaster Yun Luo stepped up and pressed her hand against his back. She used some secret spell to make Master Simo's face look slightly better, but he was still deathly pale.

"The strong bullying the weak? Damn, you actually know what that means? After using your third step cultivation to force a fight with my junior, you dare to say I'm bullying the weak? So what if I'm bullying the weak?!" The old Vermillion Bird had cultivated for many years, and although he looked kind to Wang Lin, in truth, when he became famous, he had an explosive temper. After hearing Master Simo's words, his eyes widened and he took a step forward.

He was too fast; it was impossible for the eye or divine sense to keep up. He arrived before Master Simo and directly sent out a slap.

With one slap, Master Simo let out a muffled groan and was pushed back several dozen feet. His face swelled up and became purplish black.

Grandmaster Yun Luo's face turned pale as she retreated and said, "Senior, stop, the Sovereign Council…"

Before Grandmaster Yun Luo could finish speaking, the old Vermillion Bird looked at her viciously. "Little girl, shut up. If you don't stop, I'll slap you too! This old man is going to bully the weak today!"

This made Grandmaster Yun Luo bite her lower lip and stop talking.

Master Simo had just stopped his body and his vision had become blurry.

"Who are you to dare to call my junior a 'little bastard?' You're a bastard, your entire family are bastards!" As the old Vermillion Bird spoke, he closed in once more and sent out a slap with his left hand.

Master Simo let out a muffled groan and coughed out blood. He was pushed back and anger filled his body. However, this anger increased the strength of the fire in his body. He let out a miserable scream and suppressed his anger.

"If my junior is a bastard, doesn't that make me a bastard as well? Damn it, you dare to scold this old man?" The old man stared at Master Simo and gave chase.

"Junior didn't…" Master Simo's mind trembled and he was about to explain himself, but his words were obviously not as fast as the old Vermillion Bird. The old Vermillion Bird suddenly got close and sent out a slap with his right hand.

Master Simo's already purplish-black face swelled even more and he coughed out blood along with a few teeth. His body was thrown far away.

"Hmph, you dare to scold this old man!?" There was a hint of killing intent in the old Vermillion Bird's eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted Wang Lin to use Master Simo to show off, he wouldn't have just used three slaps, he would've instantly taken his life!

The old Vermillion Bird dared to fish for a dragon and had a terrifying cultivation level. Although Master Simo was a third step cultivator, he had just entered the third step. If it was someone other than the old Vermillion Bird, they would've showed some hesitation. After all, the Sovereign Council stood behind Master Simo.

However, the old Vermillion Bird didn't consider any of this at all. He only had one thought: no one could provoke the Vermillion Bird Clan! Even if they had a higher cultivation level than him, he wouldn't care. The first generation ancestor would deal with it.

The Vermillion Bird Clan's bias was passed down from generation to generation.

Wang Lin revealed a smile as he watched this. He found the shadow of Qing Shui and the fifth generation Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor on the old Vermillion Bird.

Wang Lin's personality was sometimes very simple. Those who were good to him would be paid back several fold. Like Situ Na, Qing Shui, the old Vermillion Bird Divine Emperor, Dun Tian… The cultivators fighting for the Fallen Elder position all stopped and retreated. The 10,000 Fallen Land cultivators were all extremely respectful. and the 10 messengers also looked up at the sky respectfully.

As for the rest of the people in the sky, they didn't say anything.

After slapping Master Simo a few times, the old Vermillion Bird withdrew his gaze and returned to Wang Lin's side. He completely ignored Master Simo, who was in a sorry state, and the gloomy Grandmaster Yun Luo.

"This old man is very happy that everyone could come here. Although there are still a few old fellows who are not here, it is fine. Since everyone is present, I want you all to witness the trial of my Fallen Land's third Young Emperor!

"If he succeeds in the trial, he will become a true Young Emperor. Making him your enemy is the same as making this old man your enemy, making the Fallen Land your enemy!" The old Vermillion Bird clasped his hands at everyone. He pulled Wang Lin and pointed at the handsome young man.

"Little fellow, you know Dao Master Blue Dream, so I won't introduce you. You see that young man eating the peach? Don't think he is young, he is actually an old monster. You might have heard of him before, he is one of the five masters, Dao Master Miao Yin!"

Wang Lin's expression remained calm, but his mind raced. He had heard of Dao Master Miao Yin before. He looked at the young man but found no trace of cultivation, and Wang Lin clasped his hands as a greeting.

The handsome young man laughed and nodded at Wang Lin.

"There is also this old fellow with the needle in his mouth, he is also someone you should know. Although he is not one of the five masters, his cultivation is not a bit weak. He is the self-proclaimed Esteemed Tai Huang. His poison cultivation made him famous!" The old Vermillion Bird pointed at the skinny elder sitting on the lizard.

The old man's eyes lit up and he let out a cold snort. His lips didn't move, but a voice came from his body.

"Old bird, this old man didn't come to witness anything, I'm here to fight you! However, this junior of yours is not bad, so I'll gift you this for protection!" The old man raised his right hand and flicked. A piece of his fingernail from his index finger broke off and flew toward Wang Lin.

There was a flash of light and the piece of fingernail floated before Wang Lin.

The old Vermillion Bird's eyes widened after hearing the words "old bird," but when he saw the nail, he laughed. "You little poison bug, you're pretty generous."

"Take it. That thing contains that little poison bug's poison. It is a powerful weapon to use against your enemies!"

As the old Vermillion Bird spoke, he raised right hand and waved down at the arena. He shouted, "The Fallen Elder Selection will be pushed back, and the Young Emperor Trial will begin!"

His voice rumbled like thunder and echoed across the arena. The roar of a dragon tortoise echoed and the giant tortoise shell that surrounded the arena appeared.

The giant tortoise was extremely large and extremely ferocious. It was an unforgettable scene! A powerful force spread out, and the surrounding 10,000 cultivators revealed extreme reverence as they avoided this shockwave.

The giant tortoise let out a roar. After it appeared, it looked up at the old Vermillion Bird.

Chapter 1405 - Dream like life

"Start the Blue Incense!" The old Vermillion Bird waved his hand. The childishness from before disappeared and he became serious. At this moment, a powerful might came from his body, along with a tyrannical feeling.

It was as if whatever he said was law!

As the rumble echoed, three giant incense sticks thousands of feet thick and tens of thousands of feet tall appeared on the back of the tortoise!

These three incense sticks were dark blue and pierced in to the sky. The giant tortoise seemed to have turned into an altar. The three incense sticks on its back were a shocking sight!

"The trial of my Fallen Land's Young Emperor is extremely simple. You must enter the three fantasy worlds of human, earth, and heaven and light up all three incense sticks! This trial has two key points!

"The first is that lighting the incense sticks is difficult! Second, once an incense stick is lit, although it is tens of thousands of feet tall, it burns very fast. You must use all your effort to slow down the burning so your soul can leave and return to your body!"

The old Vermillion Bird's expression was very serious as he looked at Wang Lin.

"Every trial has danger. My Fallen Land's Young Emperor's trial is also the same. If you can't ignite it, there is no consequence, but if you ignite it and you can't get out, your soul will burn to death with it! With this old man here, you won't really die, but you will disappoint this old man.

"Since ancient times, only two people have succeeded. This old man was the first, and before you there was another! That person is extremely gifted. He took five breaths for the first incense, nine breaths for the second incense, and 14 breaths for the third. Even this old man is inferior to him.

"Do you dare to try? Answer me!" The old man's eyes glowed like a torch as he looked at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's remained calm and slowly said, "Why would I not dare?"

"Good. I expect you to surprise me a third time!" The old Vermillion Bird laughed and waved his right hand. A gust of wind wrapped around Wang Lin and he moved like a bolt of thunder toward the first incense stick!

Master Simo's eyes contained a well-hidden, vicious gaze. His face was still purple, and it wouldn't heal in a short period of time with a spell. After all, the old Vermillion Bird had done this on purpose to humiliate him.

Right now, Master Simo didn't dare to be as arrogant as before, but his killing intent toward Wang Lin had become even stronger.

Master Simo let out a cold snort. "The Sovereign Council has studied the Fallen Land's trial deeply. This little bastard can't succeed with his cultivation level!"

Grandmaster Yun Luo beside him also had a gloomy expression. Her hand in her right sleeve casually formed a few seals as if she was trying to divinate some things, but her gaze swept toward Dao Master Miao Yin.

As for Dao Master Miao Yin, he lied down on the cloud with his eyes squinted, revealing a strange light.

"This little fellow must be the Wang Lin that Daoist Water had sent information about… The Lord of the Sealed Realm is not dead… That Daoist Water wouldn't dare to lie, but I should be careful about this… I acedt last time because the Sovereign gave me great benefits, but now… If they want me to act, it will depend on whether the Sovereign Council is willing to give the appropriate reward."

Dao Master Blue Dream calmly looked at Wang Lin and sighed in his heart.

"In such short period of time, this child has managed to destroy the Scatter Thunder Clan and also formed a deep relationship with the Fallen Land. I've really underestimated him… As one of the five masters, I have a responsibility to guard the Ancient Star System, but the matter between him and Yue Er…" Dao Master Blue Dream looked at his daughter with a complicated gaze.

"I can ignore the Sovereign Council, and even if the Sovereign comes out of closed door cultivation, I can refuse, but… What if Meng Er comes? What should I do…" Thinking about his wife, Dao Master Blue Dream felt a sting in his heart. He could never forget that year when his wife seemed to have died and became a stranger.

The old man wearing the beast skin closed his eyes and simply ignored it all. It was as if nothing in the world mattered aside from battling the old Vermillion Bird.

The giant lizard below him snorted two streams of hot air and closed its cold eyes.

As the 10,000 cultivators around the giant tortoise all watched Wang Lin close in on the first incense stick, various thoughts appeared in their minds.

"Hmph, this person is really lucky to have caught the eye of the first Young Emperor. However, this trial is extremely difficult. I'm certain he won't succeed!"

"The Fallen Land's First Elder didn't even dare to try to obtain the title of Young Emperor even though he's at the fifth Heaven's Blight. Although this person has obtained the favor of the Great Emperor and the first Young Emperor, there is no way he can succeed."

Wang Lin arrived next to the first incense stick under the gazes of the 10,000 cultivators around the arena and landed on the tortoise shell. Compare to the incense stick, Wang Lin's figure was truly insignificant.

This giant incense stick was like a mountain. It released a faint fragrance, and when one smelled it, it would awaken their spirit.

Wang Lin took a deep breath and placed his right hand on the giant incense stick. The moment he touched the incense stick, he closed his eyes and his body became motionless. His soul entered the incense stick… The first trial, the Human Phantom World!

The sound of water was rushing across his ears. There were bustling sounds coming from the distance that became more and more clear until they suppressed the sound of water in Wang Lin's ears.

The sky was blue, beautiful like a painting, with white clouds embellished on it. However, it looked a bit fake.

Wang Lin was standing on a bridge with a river flowing below him. There were several boats floating down the river. On both sides of the bridge were noisy streets with many pedestrians, but it was impossible to see their faces.

Wang Lin withdrew his gaze from the sky. He felt like he had entered a dream world. Everything was fake without any sense of it being real.

Even this bridge was blurry in his eyes, as if it could disappear at any moment. It was as if everything in this world, aside from himself, was not real.

This was a mortal city. This city wasn't big, but there were a lot of people living here. There were many stalls and shops along the street, and the sound of people shouting was constant.

However, all of this was a blur and seemed separated from him… "Is this the first trial…" Wang Lin pondered and then turned around to walk off the bridge when he suddenly looked at the river!

There was a big boat slowly floating down the river, and there was a young man holding a cup of wine on it. There were a few female singers dancing on the deck and a few servants standing behind him.

Among the laughter came these soft yet arrogant words: "The world is an inn for all living things. Time is a guest of the ages. The difference between life and death is like being awakened from a dream!"

The young man held up the wine cup and took a gulp! After Wang Lin arrived here, everything beside himself has been blurry. However, at this moment,the young man's appearance became clear, and this created a clear contrast with the surroundings!

This caused Wang Lin to be startled on the spot, and his mind rumbled as if the world was splitting apart. The appearance of the young man was very familiar, it was almost…

Chapter 1406 - Like the Soul of Sadness

That was basically himself!

The youth that had recited that arrogant poem and was holding the cup of wine looked almost exactly the same as Wang Lin!!

The only difference was the trace of time. Although Wang Lin looked young, he had lived for over 2,000 years, so there were traces of time on his body.

However, the youth drinking wine was filled with vitality and life. No matter how you looked at it, he was a mortal no more than 30 years old!

Wang Lin was frozen at the spot as he looked at the boat approaching. He watched the youth put down the cup and wipe away the wine from the corner of his mouth.

The servant behind the young man was in his 40s, and his head swayed as he said,

"Good, the Young Master's poem is really extraordinary. To this little one's understanding, this poem means that what the heavens have is difficult for people to obtain. Good!"

The youth smiled as he picked up a fan and pointed at the servant. "Fart, this is clearly a poem left behind by ancient people. From what you say, it's as if I made it myself."

The servant and smiled. He didn't seem to mind. He looked around and sighed. "Young Master, we don't have a lot of silver left. Renting a boat in the river in the city of Su is not cheap. It has been four days, we should rush to the capital…"

The young man shook his head and someone poured him another cup. He took a sip and was about to speak when his body trembled. His gaze fell on the bridge ahead of him.

Wang Lin was standing on top of the bridge, and for an instant, their gazes met.

The young man's body trembled and his expression changed. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes and he put down his cup. He clasped his hands at Wang Lin, who was on the bridge, and said, "Brother, do you have the time to spare to come drink with me?"

The tremble in Wang Lin's heart gradually calmed down and his eyes revealed a strange light. He took a step forward and floated like a leaf before landing on the boat.

The four servants next to the young man were all shocked; they stared at Wang Lin in disbelief. What surprised them was not Wang Lin's action, but the fact that Wang Lin looked exactly the same as their young master!

Wang Lin didn't speak after landing on the boat, and he sat down across from the young man.

The young man carefully looked at Wang Lin, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became. This person simply looked too much like him. After hesitating for a bit, he ordered his servants to prepare another cup.

Shortly after, the servant took out a clean cup and personally filled it. While he was pouring, he observed Wang Lin and was secretly shocked.

"Brother looks extremely similar to me. I have seen many people while studying abroad, but I have never encountered anyone who looked so similar to me. May I ask what Brother's name is?" the young man asked with curiosity, and a smile on his face.

Wang Lin didn't speak. He was still pondering. He picked up the wine cup and drank it alone.

If you own a mouse, you have to play this game. No Install. Play for free.Panzer.Quest strategy game

Seeing that Wang Lin didn't reply, the young man didn't mind. He personally picked up the wine jug and poured another cup for Wang Lin.

The soft sound of water rushing by the boat echoed as the boat gradually passed under the bridge. The dancers and singers were still there, but the people watching were silently pondering.

Wang Lin drank one cup after another. The contemplation in his mind made it so the wine he drank had no taste.

"What the hell is going on… Why would this person appear in the Human Trial… Not only does he look like me, but even his soul…" Wang Lin frowned and drank another cup.

The young man was still smiling and no longer spoke. However, the servant beside him was not happy and complained in his heart.

"This is the city of Su's Ancient Flower Wine. It is very expensive…"

Night gradually arrived and a breeze that contained a chill flew by. The dancers and singers had already left, leaving only Wang Lin, the young man, and his servant.

The moonlight gradually covered the earth and was reflected in the river. The breeze caused ripples to appear in the water. It was all very beautiful.

The servant, already feeling impatient, looked up at the sky. Shortly after he couldn't help but pull on the young man's cloth and winked.

The young man smiled and shook his head. He ignored his servant.

The servant bitterly smiled and whispered, "Young Master, if we continue, we have to pay more for the boat… Also, there isn't much wine left…"

"Drink with me." The contemplation in Wang Lin's eyes dissipated and he waved his right hand to take out a wine jug. This wine was not the dragon blood, but it wasn't ordinary wine. If a mortal drank it, their lifespan and intelligence would increase.

Seeing Wang Lin pull a wine jug out of nowhere, the servant's eyes widened. There was terror in his eyes and he no longer dared to rush his master.

After pouring a cup for himself, Wang Lin placed the jug at the center of the table. He drank the cup and looked up at the sky. He suddenly said, "This is the country of Zhao…"

The young man was also shocked by Wang Lin taking out the wine jug. After a long time, he took a deep breath and nodded.

"Senior is… an immortal?"

Wang Lin held the cup and muttered to himself, "You grew up in a mountain village. Your father is Wang Tianhsui, the second son in the family, and a carpenter… Your mother is Zhou Yingsu, a member of the Zhou family who studied for a few years in a private school. When you were young, your mother taught you how to read and write…"

These words were like thunder to the young man's ears, and he was startled.

Wang Lin let out a sigh and put down the cup. He looked at the young man with a complicated gaze and softly said, "Continue walking down the life you chose…"

After he finished speaking, Wang Lin stood up and looked at the moon in the sky. At this moment, the surroundings were no longer blurry, everything had become crystal clear.

Wang Lin took a step toward the river and flew off into the distance.

The servant on the boat trembled and slumped against the boat. There was panic in his eyes as he looked at the direction Wang Lin went and stuttered, "Real… A real immortal… Young Master, a real immortal. Young Master, your dream was real!!"

The young man stared at the sky, and after a long time, he let out a deep breath. He looked at the wine jug on the table and bewilderment filled his eyes.

Wang Lin floated in the air and looked at the earth below him. He was familiar with this place. It was exactly the same as the country of Zhao in planet Suzaku.

"When I entered this Human Trial with my soul, I thought I would be seeking dao like on planet Tian Yun. I didn't expect that instead of seeking dao, it would be my inner demons…"

Wang Lin let out a sigh and revealed a complicated expression.

"Am I tired of cultivating… How else could I have created a phantom that walked down a different path…" Wang Lin silently pondered.

"Unlike that time on planet Tian Yun, I know who I am, and I know that all of this is an illusion. I know that I entered here with my soul, and I know my purpose here… I need to ignite the Human Trial…" Wang Lin raised his head, and there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes. The moment he was able to see the world clearly, he understood what the human incense was and how to ignite it.

If he wanted to, he could ignite the first incense stick right now.

"However, I want to look at them once more before igniting the incense stick… Them… And her…" Wang Lin's eyes revealed a hint of loneliness and sorrow. He knew that all of this was fake and was formed by the illusion of the human trial. However, he couldn't help but want to look at the one thing no one could touch, his bottom line… Her.

"Just one gaze and then I'll ignite the human incense stick…" Wang Lin took a step forward and disappeared without a trace.

On the Great Emperor Planet everyone's gazes were locked on to the motionless figure with one hand on the first incense stick on the back of the giant tortoise.

The gentle wind blew, causing the figure's long hair and clothes to flutter.

The old Vermillion Bird revealed a hint of anxiety. He looked at the figure and became even more anxious.

"Why is he so slow… Given his cultivation level, this child should have already ignited the first incense stick. I expected him to take half an hour and light it after one breath. Now it has been nearly one hour, which is the majority of a day inside. Could it be that he hasn't spent enough time cultivating to see through it all and his soul is unwilling to leave?"

Master Simo revealed a sneer and stared at the figure below the first incense stick. He thought in his heart, "It is only the first incense and this little bastard is already showing weakness. There is no way he can pass the trials. Once he fails this, the first Young Emperor will lose a lot of face before all these cultivators…"

Grandmaster Yun Luo frowned hard as her right hand hidden in her sleeve moved even faster. It seemed her divination had reached a critical moment.

Just at this moment, the old Vermillion Bird's gaze staring at the figure below suddenly narrowed. Not only him, but a majority of cultivators clearly saw two lines of crystal tears fall from the eyes of the figure standing before the first incense.

Dao Master Blue Dream looked at the tears and thought to himself, "The soul returns to the homeland… If the soul is filled with sadness, it will return to the body and tears of sorrow will flow… What a powerful Human Trial…"

Inside the Human Trial, Wang Lin stood under the Heng Yue Sect's mountain. He looked at the village before him as he turned away, and a trace of tears fell from his eyes.

Country of Hou Fen, the Luo He Sect.

In the alchemy in the back mountain, a young girl with a flower dress frowned and stared at the smoking pill furnace. She stared at the frowning middle-aged woman beside the pill furnace and whispered, "Master, Wan Er has failed again…"

The middle-aged woman glared at the girl. "Fine, fine, you always have such a pitiful look. Go to the medicine mountain and pick some Water Moon Grass. I'll see if I can re-refine these pills."

The girl stuck out her adorable tongue and quickly ran out of the alchemy room with a smile.

Chapter 1407 - I'm Not Willing!

This girl was wearing a yellow dress, and the two strands of hair beside her head wobbled with her, making her look very cute.

She wasn't extremely beautiful, but she was very delicate. Although she still had a childish gaze in her eyes, one could see her gentle nature underneath.

As the girl walked toward the mountain, she pouted and muttered to herself, "Alchemy is too difficult. Even though I am always being very attentive, I can never succeed.

"I wonder how Brother is doing. His talent is better than mine and he is being focused on by the sect. I have to work hard so he doesn't look down upon me." As the girl walked, she stopped and looked at a blade of grass that was giving off a soft moonlight. She quickly walked up and gently picked a few leaves. She didn't realize that a lonely figure had unknowingly appeared behind her.

Wang Lin stared at the girl before him. Although she looked different from how he knew her, he still recognized her at a glance.

A hint of tenderness gradually appeared in his eyes. As Wang Lin stood there, bitterness filled his heart.

After the girl picked up a few leaves of Water Moon Grass, she carefully put them into her bag of holding. When she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and walked a few steps forward. She crouched down to push away some grass to find a small beast.

The small beast looked like a squirrel, and it seemed like it was dying. There was blood on its right leg. It looked like it had been bitten, and it was broken.

The girl exhaled and revealed a look of pity. She took out some herbs and crushed them before gently applying them to the little beast's wound.

However, these herbs were apparently not enough to allow the small beast to live. Its gaze dimmed as it had lost too much blood and was on the verge of death.

The girl became anxious. She gently picked up the small beast and turned around to go back to the alchemy room to find her master. However, just as she turned around, she screamed and quickly retreated, panic appearing in her eyes.

When she suddenly turned around, she naturally saw Wang Lin and was startled for a moment.

Seeing the girl's frightened expression, Wang Lin's heart trembled and he gently said, "Let me." He waved his hand and a ray of white light shot toward the small beast in the girl's arms. The small beast's wound recovered before her eyes, and even its dimmed eyes regained life.

The little beast that had recovered jumped out from the girl's arms. After landing on a branch, it looked back at the two of them and disappeared.

The girl took a deep breath and patted her chest. She looked curiously at Wang Lin and softly said, "Junior Li Muwan greets Senior. Which peak did Senior come from to find my master?"

Wang Lin shook his head. His gaze became even more gentle and he said, "I didn't come here looking for your master, I live here."

"Live here?' Li Muwan blinked.

Wang Lin smiled as he waved his sleeve and a gentle wind wrapped around Li Muwan. In an instant, the two of them disappeared. When they reappeared, they were at the peak of a mountain surrounded by clouds.

A cave had unknowingly appeared here.

Li Muwan's eyes widened as she looked at the cave, and she took a long time to recover. She then looked at Wang Lin, her eyes filled with wonder.

"Senior must be an old monster of my Luo He Sect… Err, not old monster, but hidden expert." Li Muwan smiled as she retreated a few steps. There was a hint of caution in her eyes.

There was no one here, and she was suddenly brought here by Wang Lin, so she was naturally nervous. Although Wang Lin didn't look evil, Li Muwan's heart still pounded.

"Junior… Junior came here under Teacher's order to pick some herbs. I have been out… for a long time. Teacher might get worried about me and come to find me. Junior should leave now." Li Muwan continued to retreat, and her words pointed out the fact that her teacher could come at any time.

Wang Lin smiled. He had never seen such an expression from Li Muwan before. He nodded.

Li Muwan quickly retreated and climbed down the mountain. It wasn't until she was off the mountain that she relaxed and looked back at the mountain peak.

"Senior Sister had said that all these old monsters have quirks and some like to cultivate with cultivation furnaces. He scared me to death! That old monster silently appeared and took me to the top of the mountain. Hmph, if I hadn't reacted quickly and brought up Teacher, I might've been in danger… However, that old monster looked very young and didn't seem like a bad person… Maybe I am overthinking it."

After muttering to herself for a bit, Li Muwan quickly left.

As Wang Lin stood on the mountain peak, his gaze could penetrate anything. He saw Li Muwan's expression and he could even clearly hear her words.

It wasn't until Li Muwan had left that Wang Lin withdrew his gaze. There was a hint of joy in his eyes, but this was accompanied by melancholy.

"Is this place really formed by my soul or… real… This place clearly doesn't exist in my memory…" Wang Lin let out a sign and no longer thought about this. He closed his eyes.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and whispered to himself, "I'm going to take another look and talk to her once more. Then I'll leave… And ignite the first incense stick."

Time slowly passed. One day, two days… In the blink of an eye, four days passed.

During these four days, Li Muwan didn't appear again. Wang Lin stayed on the top of the mountain, waiting. Just like how Li Muwan waited for his return, accompanied only by the zither music.

Wang Lin didn't cultivate during these four days but stared at the sky as he waited.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the fifth day that he heard a sound coming from the base of the mountain. Li Muwan quickly ascended up the mountain. She wiped the sweat off her forehead, and there was still fear and caution in her eyes. However, she clenched her teeth and walked toward Wang Lin.

Wang Lin calmly looked at Li Muwan and revealed a gentle expression.

However, in Li Muwan's eyes, this gentleness made her subconsciously retreated a few steps and she became even more cautious.

"Sen… Senior, can you save it…" Li Muwan bit her lower lip and carefully took out a small beasts the size of her palm.

This small beast was like a cat, and it was still a child. It was trembling in Li Muwan's hands and is eyes were only opened a sliver. It seemed to want to open its eyes, but it had no strength.

Wang Lin laughed and nodded. He raised his right hand and touched the small beast. A white light flashed and vitality entered the small beast. Its eyes slowly opened and were filled with energy.

Li Muwan was surprised and gently stroked the small beast's fur. She looked at Wang Lin, and her caution gradually dissipated, but some still remained.

"Many thanks, Senior." Li Muwan's face was filled with joy and she bowed at Wang Lin. She quickly retreated down the mountain. It was obvious she was still on guard toward an old monster. If not for it being a last resort, she would not have come here.

After Li Muwan descended from the mountain, she looked back and muttered to herself, "That old monster probably isn't a bad person…"

This was the second time Wang Lin had sent Li Muwan off, but the reluctance in his eyes became even stronger.

Just at this moment, the entire sky began to rumble and changed colors. The clouds rumbled and a giant vortex appeared.

This vortex rotated rapidly, stirring up the world and giving off an unimaginable sense of majesty!

This pressure was extremely shocking, and when it spread out, it covered the entire Human Trial. Strangely, nothing else in the world was aware of it at all. It was as if the world had changed just for Wang Lin, as if the vortex had appeared just for Wang Lin!

"Wang Lin! Why don't you quickly ignite the human incense stick? What are you waiting for?!" These words formed a storm and echoed across the world!

On the Great Emperor Planet, the old Vermillion Bird was worried that Wang Lin's soul was trapped inside and he couldn't pull himself out. He disregard the rule of the trial and pressed his hand against the first incense stick. His soul rushed into Wang Lin's soul and let out a roar.

"It isn't difficult to ignite the human incense stick. As long as I ignite the fire in my soul and burn this illusory world until nothing remains, the human incense stick will be ignited!

"However…

"I'm unwilling!!" Wang Lin raised his head. There was fire burning in his eyes as he looked at the vortex in the sky.

"To enter this place as a soul to hone the soul to erase the last hint of returning back to a mortal. Turn it into a burning force and cause the soul to born. This will be integrated into the soul to become a seed that will allow the Vermillion Bird to awaken a fourth time!

"However, burning my feelings as a mortal as the price is something I can't do!" Wang Lin looked up at the sky.

This was the land of his soul. Although the old Vermillion Bird was powerful, this trial ground created by a mysterious treasure was filled with a mysterious power that made it so he couldn't be here for long!

"You… this is only an illusion, it's not real. This old man has also come here before. You just need to destroy it and ignite the incense stick to leave. Why must you be so obsessive?" The old Vermillion Bird's voice was anxious and the vortex in the sky collapsed as his voice gradually dissipated.

The moment his voice dissipated, Wang Lin's voice entered the vortex.

"In my whole life, I never gave up the the lingering feelings in my heart. At the Ascendant stage, I chose to trigger divine retribution over giving it up. Burning this world isn't the only way to create the immortal fire seed in my soul!

"If the heavens will this and I must burn this world, then I'll defy the heavens. I'll take my own path, and instead of burning this world, I'll use my soul to create the fire of karma!!"

On the Great Emperor Planet, the old Vermillion Bird withdrew his hand. He looked at Wang Lin and let out a sigh.

Although Master Simo didn't know what was going on inside the human trial, he seemed to have noticed a few things. He couldn't help but sneer. "Senior, it has been a long time. It seems the third Young Emperor had encountered an accident in the trial…"

Before he finished speaking, the old Vermillion Bird suddenly turned around and waved his hand. He slapped Master Simo once more.

Master Simo coughed out blood and his body was knocked back 100,000 feet.

"What accident? This old man's junior is going to use his karma to burn this incense stick. It is not something a bastard like you can understand!"

After finishing the slap, the old Vermillion Bird's anger lessened and he thought, "Karma, karma, good. This kid has guts to light the fire of karma. The first ancestor once said that using the immortal soul fire to reach Ethereal Fire is not the proper method, but only because igniting the fire of karma is extremely difficult. The Ancestor only succeeded thanks to the help of the Celestial Emperor, which why he never gave anyone else the choice! If this child can succeed, he will be the first after the first ancestor!"

Chapter 1408 - Karma Fire Rise In the Soul

Inside the Human Trial, the vortex only Wang Lin could see collapsed as if an invisible force had torn it apart. The sky gradually returned to normal.

No one else inside the Human Trial noticed this beside Wang Lin; it was as if none of it had happened at all.

Wang Lin withdrew his gaze from the sky and sat down at the top of the mountain.

To ignite the fire of karma, to create a fire with one's thought. Not to burn this world, but burn one's own soul. Using this dangerous method at the moment the soul was about to be destroyed to find path to survival and create the fire of karma. This will give the Vermillion Bird a chance to awaken a fourth time breaking through to the realm of Ethereal Fire that was extremely rare for the members of the Vermillion Bird Clan to enter!

Ethereal Fire, the source of all fire in the world. Whether it was the fire of jealousy, anger, madness, and such emotions, they could all be used by the people who had stepped into the realm of Ethereal Fire!

Cultivators who could reach Ethereal Fire were very powerful. Even if they weren't as powerful as a third step cultivator, even third step cultivators had to beware! When facing such a cultivator, you couldn't show any emotion, because even the smallest emotional fluctuation could be used by the enemy as a method to kill you!

This was a very terrifying spell. It has to be said that all living beings have emotions. No matter how indifferent a person is or how well they can hide their emotions, emotions still exist within them.

Even Dao Master Blue Dream's longing for his wife and daughter could become fuel for Ethereal Fire! Only those who could perfectly block all emotions or completely remove them could afford not to fear Ethereal Fire!

The true terror of an Ethereal Fire cultivator wasn't seen in individual battles, but in group battles!

An Ethereal Fire cultivators could contest against thousands… Third step cultivators knew that breaking the Void Gate as a thunder cultivator was extremely difficult. Thunder was something controlled by the heavens, so attempting to break the Void Gate with it was even more difficult!

Fire essence was part of the five elements. Only by becoming Ethereal Fire could it break free from the five elements. If it can evolve further into dao fire then one can use it to burn down the Void Gate to become a third step cultivator!

Wang Lin's eyes were calm. Ethereal Fire was difficult to obtain because of the fire seed required for the Vermillion Bird's fourth awakening! However, he wasn't willing to burn this world, so he had to choose the more difficult road.

This path was a walk between life and death. Wang Lin could still choose to leave this place and fail the trial.

"The old Vermillion Bird treated me so well, so how can I give up so easily?" Wang Lin murmured, and determination filled his eyes.

Just like how he was unwilling to burn this world, Wang Lin cared a lot about his benefactor. He couldn't disappoint the old Vermillion Bird!

Wang Lin took a deep breath and closed his eyes. As he closed his eyes, a blue flame erupted from his body. The flame didn't spread but burned inside his body.

Outsiders couldn't see the flame, but the pain of his soul burning caused even Wang Lin to tremble. He clenched his teeth and endured his soul and obsession burning until he destroyed himself.

"I will enter the dao with this obsession, and not even divine retribution will stop me!!" Wang Lin suddenly raised his head and his eyes opened. The flame burned brightly in his body, but no one outside could see it.

Time slowly passed inside the Human Trial. The frequency of Li Muwan's visits to the top of mountain had gradually increased. Every time Wang Lin saw her, the burning in his soul became stronger, but he didn't reveal any of it. The gentleness in his eyes was deep like a lake.

Li Muwan gradually became used to Wang Lin's expression. Sometimes, when she came up the mountain, she would curiously chat with Wang Lin.

However, the very attentive Li Muwan slowly noticed that each time she came up here, the strange senior seemed a bit weaker. and even his appearance seemed to grow old.

She didn't know that Wang Lin was currently suffering indescribable pain. He wanted to ignite the fire of karma, and he was using the obsession in his heart as the fuel. The stronger his obsession, the stronger the fire was!

Every time he saw Li Muwan, his obsession became even stronger! The fire would become more intense and the pain would intensify!

Time passed. After unknown amount of time, the fire inside Wang Lin's soul had reached a certain degree. His eyes had become unfocused and his body weak. His face had aged from a young man to a middle-aged man.

It was as if 2,000 years of time had quickly descended on Wang Lin as his soul burned.

"Give up… You can't withstand the burning of your soul. Although this old man hasn't experienced it, from what I heard from the Ancestor, I could tell that he still dreads that feeling…"

The collapsed vortex appeared once more in the sky. The old Vermillion Bird came once more because he was worried. His words were filled with worry.

Wang Lin clenched his teeth, and his mind was already unclear. The intense pain was like a tide that almost drowned him. This kind of pain was several times stronger than anything Wang Lin had encountered before!

Only when he faced the ancient god calamity, where his body continued to collapse and reform, did he experience comparable pain. However, there was still a big difference between these two types of pain.

"You're still burning your soul, but your obsession hasn't transform into the fire of karma. This degree of pain is only the beginning. Once the fire of karma has appeared, you will go through the nine karma retributions. Even the Ancestor could only pass it under someone's protection. You can still give up now. Once your obsession turns into the fire of karma, it will destroy your soul in a flash. There will be no chance for you to turn it into karmic fire!

"If it wasn't for the protection of the Celestial Emperor, the Ancestor wouldn't have succeeded!" The old Vermillion Bird's voice was filled with worry.

"That little girl is the obsession in your heart… In this Human Trial, everything is only an illusion. Why are you putting yourself in such a life and death situation for an illusion?

"Wang Lin, why are you so obsessive!?" The old Vermillion Bird's voice became even more anxious, and there was a tone of harshness in his voice.

Wang Lin didn't answer. At this moment, his mind was a blur. The pain turned into memories that flashed across his soul.

His first encounter with Li Muwan… the Sea of Devils… the Cloud Sky Sect… her death… Until she became a sleeping corpse in the coffin.

All of these memories burned in his soul.

"It has been a long time. If you continue, there will be life-threatening danger. Since you are unwilling to cut yourself off from this world, then even if you end up hating this old man, I'll destroy this world for you!" As the old Vermillion Bird's words echoed, a sea of fire suddenly appeared from the vortex. The fire spread in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, it surrounded the world. It was about to descend and burn everything!

At this moment, Li Muwan appeared on the top of the mountain. She was gasping for breath and had just reached the top of the mountain. She couldn't see the fire, but in Wang Lin's blurry vision, he could see the sea of fire attempting to devour Li Muwan like a big mouth!

At this instant, Wang Lin's eyes became clear and a monstrous fire appeared in his eyes. The moment the fire was about to touch Li Muwan, Wang Lin hugged her and used his back to block that sea of fire!

Li Muwan was startled. As Wang Lin hugged her, he turned around and let out a roar at the sky!

"I can do it!!"

"You!!" The old Vermillion Bird was extremely angry, The fire he had sent from the sky was stopped.

"Ancestor, I have cultivated for my entire life only for her!! Even if it is only an illusion, this junior is unwilling to hurt her, much less destroy her!!" Wang Lin looked at the sky with tears flowing down his cheeks, landing on the Li Muwan in his arms. The hot tears seemed to enter her heart, and her eyes became filled with confusion.

The moment Wang Lin said these words, the fire in his soul erupted, becoming several times stronger than before!

There was a strand of black fire inside this fire. This black fire caused the world to change colors and completely suppressed the blue fire inside wang Lin's soul.

"Fire of karma!" The old Vermillion Bird gasped and let out a sigh.

"Now that your obsession has turned into fire of karma, aside from the first generation ancestor, no one can stop you. Forget it… Since you chose it, forget it…" The old Vermillion Bird's voice gradually dissipated, the sea of fire disappeared, and the vortex collapsed.

The black fire instantly filled Wang Lin's body and took over the blue fire. In an instant, more than 80% of the blue fire had turned black.

Intense pain came from his soul, causing his body to tremble. The pain became thousands of times more intense than before. His soul was being rapidly destroyed.

His body rapidly dissipated, but his arms still held Li Muwan. He did his best to hide the intense pain, and he gently looked at Li Muwan.

Wang Lin looked at Li Muwan and softly said, "To have you accompany me for these days, I'm very happy… Even though you're only an illusion, I won't allow anyone to hurt you…"

However, his voice contained a force that shocked Li Muwan's mind.

"You… Who are you…" Li Muwan stared at Wang Lin.

Chapter 1409 - Fragrant Blue Signal Smoke Burns!

The her in the past was like a butterfly that had turned into a soul inside Wang Lin's hands. He tried to hold on, but he grasped only empty air as her soul floated into the sky from his arms.

The past her's eyes were filled with sentiment and tenderness as she slowly aged. An entire lifetime passed and her hair turned white and she passed away. She closed her eyes, and this became a scene Wang Lin could never forget in his life.

She raised her right hand to touch Wang Lin's face one last time, but she lost all strength mid way and her hand fell down. The tears that fell from her eyes fell on the ground and turned into a flower that may or may not bloom in the next season.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of years passed. The past was like a fleeting moment.

Thousands of years couldn't be considered long, but it was enough to forget everything. However, Wang Lin couldn't forget this and had always remembered… Now it was as if time had reversed, and Wang Lin was holding the person he wasn't willing to give up. However, because Li Muwan had turned into a soul fragment back then, he couldn't grasp anything.

Now, although Li Muwan was an illusion, she was so real to Wang Lin that he felt like he was holding the world… Except now he didn't have the strength, he didn't have the body to continue holding her.

His hands gradually dissipated as the black fire burned and turned transparent. His hands passed through Li Muwan's body and dissipated.

His face rapidly changed from middle-aged. It was as if years had quickly passed and he had turned into an old man. Then he became transparent… It was if the past had repeated itself, only their positions had changed.

The only thing that didn't change was the gentleness in his eyes as his body dissipated. The black fire finally took over the blue fire and Wang Lin dissipated completely from the world.

The gaze under the black fire moved further and further away from Li Muwan.

Li Muwan's body slumped to the ground as she looked at the seemingly eternal gaze in the sky, her mind trembling.

Li Muwan struggled to roar, "Who the hell are you?!" There was an unknown pain in her heart. She didn't know where this pain came from, but it became stronger and stronger.

The fire of karma ignited and destroyed everything, but it couldn't destroy Wang Lin's dao heart and his memories!

"The fire of karma is formed by my obsession. I have used my obsession to cultivate, and I have cultivated for my entire life for her!

"The heavens are heartless and want to erase all obsession. However, my obsession has already turned into the fire of karma, and not even the heavens can take it away!

"If this fire of karma wants to burn my body, if this fire of karma wants to destroy me, I won't stop it! This fire is the obsession of my life, this is my dao!

"What is the point of cultivating the heartless dao of the heavens? I have cultivated with my obsession and used this obsession to form the cycle of karma. So what if I don't go to heaven? so what if I go to hell? As long as hell is free, what's so bad about it?!"

Just as the fire of karma was going to destroy him, a shocking Vermillion Bird cry echoed!

A Vermillion Bird appeared inside the black fire. The Vermilion Bird was large, and it was no longer blue but black! It was like a black phoenix being reborn inside the black fire.

The cry of the Vermillion Bird echoed across the entire world. It penetrated the Human Trial and spread out from the incense stick on the back of the tortoise. It shook the entire Great Emperor Planet!

If you own a mouse, you have to play this game. No Install. Play for free.Panzer.Quest strategy game

The handsome young man had already waited for several days, but he hadn't become impatient at all. He had just taken out another peach and was about to eat it when his body trembled. He stared at the first incense stick!

The cry of the Vermillion Bird echoed across the world!

Dao Master Blue Dream's eyes shone a strange light, and there was also a hint of shock in them.

"The cry of a Vermillion Bird… This is not an ordinary Vermillion Bird, this is…"

The cry of this Vermillion Bird was indeed not ordinary. It contained a powerful defying nature that would never yield. It seemed like it had come from hell rather than the heavens!

"Impossible! Grandmaster Yun Luo, foresaw that that little bastard would face a life and death trial that would be extremely difficult to pass!" Master Simo's expression changed greatly as he stared at the first incense stick.

Grandmaster Yun Luo also revealed an expression of shock on her pretty face. Her right hand hidden under her sleeve moved even faster, forming afterimages. However, her fingers trembled and her fingertips tore open, and blood flew out. It was as if a force had stopped her divination! Or Wang Lin's current situation was outside of her power to divinate!

The old Vermillion Bird revealed a hint of excitement and let out a laugh. His eyes lit up. As the second generation Vermillion bird, he understood the cry of the Vermillion Bird extremely well. Just by hearing it he could understand what had happened inside the Human Trial!

"Good boy, he was able to reform his Vermillion Bird under the fire of karma!! After this comes the nine karma retributions. This is the most difficult part!"

Only the old man sitting on the lizard still had his closed as if none of this could catch his attention.

The woman beside Dao Master Blue Dream was staring at the first incense stick. She was biting her lower lip, and tears filled with complicated feelings were falling.

Inside the Human Trial, the black Vermillion Bird opened its wings and flew up into the sky. Its body was covered in endless black flames and emitted an unimaginably high temperature. However, this temperature didn't affect this world at all and was condensed on the Vermillion Bird's body.

The cry of the Vermilion Bird became even louder, and it contained a fluctuation that could shock one's mind!

The black Vermillion Bird was formed by Wang Lin's soul!

"The fire of karma has ignited and will burn the cycle of karma. Help my Vermillion Bird awaken a fourth time!" The black Vermillion Bird hissed and charged at the sky. When it reached the top, black fire erupted from its body.

From a distance, this fire looked like a giant torch, and the heart of the fire was the dancing Vermillion Bird!

"With my obsession fire…" Wang Lin's voice echoed across the world. The fire around Wang Lin turned into a sea of flames and spread with the Vermillion Bird as the center.

In the blink an eye, the entire sky was covered in this black fire, but no living thing in the Human Trial was able to feel it!

This sea of fire that covered the sky became stronger and stronger. It was like a violent wave that swept across the sky.

"Human incense stick, ignite!!" Wang Lin's roar became the voice of the Vermillion Bird and spread across the sky. The sea of fire suddenly contracted toward Wang Lin and turned into a pillar of fire that shot into the sky.

Wang Lin's soul reformed on top of the black Vermillion Bird inside the fire. He looked up at the sky and waved his hand.

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!

Thunderous rumbles echoed across the sky and turned into a force that wanted to rip the sky open.

At this moment, strands of black smoke came from the first incense stick on the back of the giant tortoise!

"Ignited!!"

"The first incense stick has been ignited!!"

"Let's see how long he can last!!" The cultivators had waited for many days and were becoming impatient. If not for their fear of the Young Emperor, they would have already left. However, at this moment, they all looked at the black smoke that was rising up.

At first the black smoke was like silk but soon increased like a signal fire. The high temperature began to spread and the Human Incense burned brightly!

The burning was extremely intense. From a distance, the fire was monstrous and was rapidly burning down the incense stick. Its speed was indescribable; in an instant, more than half of it was burned to ashes!

Compared to the other two incense sticks, this scene was shocking!

Just as the 10,000 cultivators thought the incense was going to burn completely, in a flash, the fire suddenly stopped.

This pause seemed to fuse with the minds of all the surrounding cultivators, causing their hearts to tremble!

Master Simo stared intently at the human incense stick.

Grandmaster Yun Luo's face was a bit pale, and there was a hint of gloominess in her eyes.

Inside the Human Trial, Wang Lin looked at the sky as he stood on the black Vermillion Bird. His body gave off endless black flames and he took a deep breath. He looked down at the gentle figure slumped on the ground on the mountain peak and softly whispered something.

"I'm Wang Lin!" After he finish speaking his last words to Li Muwan, he suddenly raised his head.

"Nine karma retributions, come!"

The nine karma retributions was the retribution of the fire of karma. The first generation Vermillion Bird had lost his life to this retribution. If not for the protection of the Celestial Emperor, he would have died.

At this moment, Wang Lin was going to go through the nine karma retributions as the sixth generation Vermillion Bird with no one protecting him!

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple fire appeared in the world, with white and black above and below them. These nine colors were the nine retributions. It started with the black fire and ended with the black fire, forming a cycle.

If he could pass them all, he could ignite the karmic fire, which would allow the Vermillion Bird to awaken a fourth time. His corporeal fire would enter the realm of Ethereal Fire!

Nine karma retributions, descend!

The black fire around Wang Lin seemed to be swept by a violent wind and suddenly changed to blood red. The blood red light seemed to dye the entire earth red.

Thunderous rumbles echoed and the endless red fire around Wang Lin charged toward him from all directions!

On the Great Emperor Planet, the first incense stick began to burn down once more after the pause.

It had been exactly one breath of time since the incense stick had been ignited!

Chapter 1410 - Shocking Change

The blood red fire filled the sky of the Human Trial. It formed a powerful heat wave and surged at Wang Lin. The power inside this fire was enough to burn the heavens itself.

Wang Lin was inside the fire and standing on top of the black Vermillion Bird. He he could feel the temperature of the blood red fire, and when the heat wave closed in, he felt the pain of being burned.

The first of the nine karma retributions was red. It represented all the slaughter Wang Lin had done for his obsession. This slaughter retribution surged and burned violently.

The Vermillion Bird under Wang Lin let out miserable cries under the heat of this red fire. Even Wang Lin's recently reformed soul almost collapsed, and he was about to be burned alive.

Although he had tried to predict the power of the nine karma retributions, he didn't think the first retribution would already be so difficult to bear.

Inside this red fire, just an instant feel like an eternity. The black Vermillion Bird couldn't bear it and its body rapidly shrank. The black fire on its body rapidly turned red.

If it turned completely red, the Vermillion Bird would become part of the first retribution. Its power would then increase and it would devour Wang Lin!

Wang Lin let out a roar at the sky, and there was a hint of madness in his eyes. The first retribution was unexpectedly powerful, and he had found it difficult to resist. However, Wang Lin would never yield. He waved his arms and inhaled.

"First retribution, let's see if you will burn me alive or if I will devour you first!!" A sense of madness appeared within Wang Lin. The more dangerous it was, the more indomitable he became!

At this moment, in just one breath, all the red fire rushed into his mouth and Wang Lin devoured it in an instant!

All of this happened in an instant, and all the red fire had disappeared from the sky. However, it erupted inside his body and he became like a blood person. The blood light pierced through his body as if it was trying to tear his body apart.

This body was formed by Wang Lin's soul, and at this moment, the red fire was burning inside his soul.

On the Great Emperor Planet, the first incense stick on the giant tortoise burned like crazy. Before everyone's eyes, the black smoke coming from the first incense stick suddenly turned red. The red smoke was monstrous and lit up the entire planet.

The surrounding cultivators all gasped and subconsciously wanted to retreat.

Just at this moment, even more intense red light came from Wang Lin's body. The red light moved inside his body, creating extremely high temperature.

At the same time, the burning of the first incense stick suddenly stopped for a moment. It was like a force had erupted form within, stopping it from burning.

The old Vermillion Bird stared at the first incense stick with worry in his eyes.

Inside the Human Trial, Wang Lin had devoured all the red fire. He felt like tens of thousands of bolts of thunder were exploding in his body at once. The intense pain made him feel like he was going to disintegrate.

Wang Lin let out a roar and waved his hand. The half-red Vermillion Bird rushed toward Wang Lin and they instantly fused into one.

Wang Lin's expression was ferocious as he allowed the fire to burn inside his body. He endured the intense pain as he continued to refine the red fire. He was trying to make the red fire his own!

Just at this moment, the sky changed and an orange light appeared. when the orange light appeared, the second retribution descended!

Wang Lin had no time to refine the fire he had consumed before the orange fire surrounded him and rushed at him.

After the orange fire came a monstrous yellow light, followed by a giant wave of yellow fire!

What was even more shocking was that behind the yellow fire was ghostly green light. It was like a barrier that created shocking green fire that rapidly closed in!

Three colors of fire had appeared at the same time! Three of the retributions had appeared together!

This was the true terror of the nine karma retributions. It wasn't like the divine retribution, which gave you a glimmer of hope and had a break between each retribution. This was a destructive retribution, and it was going to kill once it appeared!

The three retributions covered the sky of the Human Trial. The first incense stick outside reacted to reflect the situation. Orange, yellow, and green smoke surged on top of the incense stick.

"The first retribution hasn't passed yet, and the orange, yellow, and green retributions came at once. This… How is he supposed to pass this?!" The old Vermillion Bird's expression changed greatly. This was his first time seeing the nine karma retributions, and he didn't expect it to be so fierce.

Master Simo was the most happy about this. He revealed a vicious smile as he stared at the first incense stick and thought, "Although I don't know what's going on, it looks like it will be difficult for that little bastard to escape death! It's a pity I can't find his secret, but it's good that he will die!"

Grandmaster Yun Luo also relaxed a bit. The injuries on her fingers had also healed. She looked at the first incense stick and thought, "It looks like he isn't the person divined by the Ancestor…"

"Father…" Li Qianmei bit her lower lip and turned toward her father. There was still confusion in her eyes, but it was accompanied by pain and pleading.

Dao Master Blue Dream let out a sigh and softly said, "I will help him, you can rest assured. However, I feel like he will be able to pass this calamity."

Inside the Human Trial, Wang Lin's body was still giving off a red glow and his eyes contained a struggle against fate!

"Three of the nina retributions have appeared at once. Good, good, good! I want to see how these three retributions will destroy my soul!" He didn't give in to the pain and laughed instead. He suppressed the pain his his body as he waved his arms and inhaled once more.

"I'll inhale all four of these fires into my soul. Either you all burn me to death or I devour you all!"

An unspeakable sense of pride, an unexplainable attitude toward life, an unrecordable sense of loftiness toward the heavens and heavenly dao, and the unpaintable pursuit for a thought. All of these had fused together in Wang Lin's laugh to form a fate-defying sound!

As his laugh echoed, 2,000 years of cultivation flashed across Wang Lin's eyes. As his memories clash across his mind, his parents appeared in his heart. The bitterness of going back to his hometown, kneeling before the graves of his family members, the rainy night when his family was robbed from him. All these scenes flash through his mind.

As the memories resurfaced, the orange fire rushed into Wang Lin's body. It crossed paths with the red light.

If the soul was filled with sorrow, one would think about one's home. If the soul returns to one's home, tears of sorrow would be shed before the grave… After the orange fire, the yellow light rushed in. It formed a seal of fire around the orange fire and burned Wang Lin's body like crazy.

Time was ruthless, and the yearning for those that parted would become an eternal injury that would accompany you for a lifetime… Ghost-like green fire arrived and covered the entire sky green. The green fire was like a ghost, and it suddenly entered Wang Lin's body.

Wang Lin's eyes lit up and the flowing memories in his head stopped. The four kinds of fire burned like crazy and a destructive force appeared. Wang Lin's refining speed couldn't compare to the four fires at all, and it seemed like he was about to be burned alive. Wang Lin raised his hand and waved it to open his storage space.

The jug filled with dragon blood appeared in Wang Lin's hand!

Just one mouthful of this dragon blood could cause the fire inside Wang Lin's body to increase in power greatly. At this moment, he didn't hesitate to laugh and drink from the jug!

He drank the entire jug in one go leaving not a single drop!

He waved his right hand and threw the jug away. The fire inside Wang Lin's body surged. The hot dragon blood turned into a sea of fire and began battling the four colors inside his body!

As he resisted, a vortex slowly appeared deep inside Wang Lin's soul. This vortex cama from the Heaven Defying Bead that was gradually awakening.

"I have devoured all four of the retributions into my soul, so it has nothing to burn. Why hasn't the fifth retribution descended?"

The fire in his body had reached a limit. He let out roar and rushed into the sky. The sky was like a barrier, and he quickly arrived at the end.

Thunderous rumbles echoed as the sky collapsed!

There was another land behind the crumbled sky! It was a land filled with endless souls; it was like the underworld!

The 10,000 cultivators staring at the first incense stick had found that the fire on it had stopped completely. It remained motionless 100 feet above Wang Lin.

Time slowly passed, one breath, one breath… In a flash, more than five breaths had passed!

The fourth generation Vermillion Bird had only lasted five breaths, but now Wang Lin had unexpectedly also lasted five breaths!

Six breaths!

Seven breaths!

The handsome young man's eyes narrowed and revealed a strange light.

Just as the incense stick lasted seven breaths, a wave of exclamations echoed. This wasn't just one person, but thousands of people. Soon, the sound was heaven-shaking!

What caused them to exclaim wasn't the incense stick lasting seven breaths, but… the fire on the human incense stick had unexpectedly… extinguished!

The incense stick had been extinguished!

This sudden scene caused an uproar. Even the old Vermillion Bird's eyes widened and filled with disbelief.

"This… This…"

Master Simo was startled for a moment and shock filled his eyes.

Grandmaster Yun Luo's expression changed greatly. She ignored the injuries on her fingers and tried to divinate once more.

Chapter 1411 - Fourth Awakening!

"The human incense stick has been extinguished. This… this has never happened before. Even during my trial and the fourth generation's trial, the incense stick was never extinguished!! The incense stick has actually gone out!" The old Vermillion Bird's mind trembled as he looked at the extinguished human incense stick, and terror appeared in his eyes.

"The incense stick has been extinguished. How long did he last in the trial? Seven breaths or… infinite…"

"What happened during the third Young Emperor's trial to cause the incense stick to extinguish?"

"This matter is too terrifying, it is unimaginable…"

Just as all the cultivators went in an uproar, an even more shocking thing happened! The second incense stick that represented the earth incense stick suddenly ignited!

No one had touched it, but smoke quickly appeared on top of the second incense stick!

Wang Lin had broken the sky of the Human Trial and had appeared in a boundless land. This land was covered in cracks and there was a deep pit that led to the Human Trial!

As Wang Lin rushed out of this pit, fire spread out from his body. The entire earth was lit up by this fire.

At the edge of the land, there was a barren mountain, and a person was sitting on top of the mountain. This person seemed middle-aged and there was an illusory Vermillion Bird mark between his eyebrows.

He was originally cultivating as if he hadn't moved for tens of thousands of years. However, at this moment, he opened his eyes and a strange light flashed by.

"The aura of a clan member…"

Just as Wang Lin appeared in the Earth Trial, endless fire appeared with him. Indigo light rushed out and the world was covered in a sea of indigo fire.

After the indigo fire was the blue fire. The two fires surged toward Wang Lin.

Indigo originally came from blue, so the two fires entangled together. After them was a purple fire that covered the sky. It was like a demonic fire that stretched across the horizon.

Indigo, blue, and purple fires all rushed toward him at once. Wang Lin's face was twisted and his soul was about to collapse. The four fires burned in his body, causing his eyes to turn cloudy.

In an instant, the fire inside him penetrated his body and erupted outwards. The red, orange, yellow, and green fires had torn his body apart. Even the Vermillion Bird inside his body was burned to death.

Wang Lin's soul collapsed.

At the same time, the indigo, blue, and purple fires closed in on Wang Lin's collapsed soul. When the seven colors gathered, it looked like a rainbow was burning the sky.

The expression of the middle-aged man at the horizon changed. He waved his right hand and the mark between his eyebrows flew out. It flew at an extremely fast speed toward the seven-colored fire.

At the same time, Wang Lin's body on the Great Emperor Planet was covered in a seven-colored light. Fine cracks appeared on his body and blood began to ooze out. It was a shocking scene.

The old Vermillion Bird didn't hesitate to arrive next to the second burning incense stick. He ignored the fact that it was rapidly burning and placed his right hand on it. His powerful divine sense rushed in.

Dao Master Blue Dream also stepped forward and arrived next to the second incense stick. Blue light covered his body and his finger landed on the second incense stick.

Inside the Earth Trial, the seven-colored fire raged. Not even the first generation Vermillion Bird was able to pass this trial without the protection of the Celestial Emperor. The retribution burned Wang Lin's soul.

Just as his soul was dissipating, three forces came to his rescue. However, just as the three auras closed in, a strange force suddenly erupted from within the seven-colored fire.

This strange force revealed an ancient aura, and it felt like it was the ancestor of all things.

The moment the Vermillion Bird mark from the middle-aged man touched this strange force, it was bounced back thousands of kilometers.

It was as if the power that had awakened won't allow anyone to approach it, or to be more accurate, no one was qualified to approach it!

The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed and he suddenly stood up. Horror quickly gathered in his eyes.

"This… What is this!?"

The old Vermillion Bird's divine sense arrived, but the moment it touched the mysterious force, he was directly knocked out of the Earth Trial.

Dao Master Blue Dream's divine sense followed, but the moment he touched the strange force, there were flashes of blue light and he was also pushed out of the Earth Trial.

On the Great Emperor Planet, the old Vermillion Bird's right hand was knocked up into the air. His eyes were filled with disbelief and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

"What kind of power is that!?!"

Dao Master Blue Dream felt his finger go numb and retreated in shock. He knew a lot about Wang Lin, and he recognized the force that had terrified him. It was… the Heaven Defying Bead… Dao Master Blue Dream didn't speak, and he silently returned to Li Qianmei's side.

"He will be fine!"

Master Simo watched all of this in shock. He had noticed that the two of them had gone in to save Wang Lin, but he never would've expected these two powerhouses to be knocked back!

Grandmaster Yun Luo's expression became even gloomier and her hand moved even faster. She faintly felt like she was about to learn all the secrets that were happening inside.

Dao Master Miao Yun stood up from the cloud and his eyes flashed.

"What Daoist Water said was correct!"

Inside the Earth Trial, the moment Wang Lin's soul had been burned, the Heaven Defying Bead appeared! Ever since the Lord of the Sealed Realm left it, the Heaven Defying Bead hadn't appeared. No matter how much Wang Lin searched for it, he couldn't find it; it was as if it had disappeared.

However, at this moment, the Heaven Defying Bead had reappeared!

The moment it appeared, the seven-colored fire trembled and began to rotate. It was inhaled by the strange force inside the Heaven Defying Bead and formed seven eternal fire seeds!

A bead the size of a baby's fist floated there, and seven fire seeds floated around it. A illusory figure gradually formed and appeared in the world.

The seven eternal fire seeds were located in various parts of the body that was materializing!

When he opened his eyes, the seven-colored fire erupted and surged across the world. Wang Lin's expression was calm as he looked at the sky in the distance.

The entire world seemed to have lost all color beside the seven colors around Wang Lin. Everything else had turned black and white!

It was like a landscape painting, and this black and white gave off the feeling of endless desolation.

The last retribution of the nine karma retribution was descending!

The white was the sky and the black was the earth. They formed two extreme fires and closed in on Wang Lin. It was as if the sky and earth were crushing down to destroy the seven-colored firestorm and Wang Lin, who was within it.

It was too fast and closed in in an instant. The white fire was hot and began burning the seven-colored storm. As the white integrated into the firestorm, another color was added!

Wang Lin's expression was still calm as the eight-colored fire surrounded him. He watched the black fire close in.

The nine karma retributions began with black fire and ended with black fire, forming a cycle.

As the black fire closed in, Wang Lin slowly closed his eyes. A thunderous rumble echoed as the black fire rushed in. This caused the eight-colored fire to reach the limit of a nine-colored fire!

All nine karma retributions had appeared, forming an earth-shattering storm. Wang Lin was at the center of the storm, and his hair was moving without any wind. Aside from the seven different-colored fires in his body, the black and white fire quickly condensed.

The white fire was in his dantian and the black fire was between his eyebrows!

When the two fires completely formed, Wang Lin opened his eyes!

The world rumbled!

"Ignite my karma cycle fire!" As Wang Lin's voice echoed, the nine-colored fire around his body condensed toward his eyebrows and fused inside.

It turned into a nine-colored fire lotus!

The fire lotus had nine petals of nine different colors! At the moment it appeared, a nine-colored Vermillion Bird charged out from the lotus!

The nine-colored Vermillion Bird seemed to have been reborn inside the lotus. It flew into the sky and let out a Vermillion Bird cry!

The cry of the fourth awakening!

On the Great Emperor Planet, the cry of awakening echoed. The Earth incense stick had only burned halfway when it suddenly paused and gave off a nine-colored light that lit up the entire planet.

The old Vermillion Bird was startled before letting out a loud laugh, and excitement filled his eyes.

"He actually passed the nine karma retributions and ignited his karma cycle fire so his Vermillion Bird could go through its fourth awakening. The fourth awakening requires a large amount of fire. Whether he can completely awaken and reach the realm of Ethereal Fire will depend on this! As his elder, even if I have to cheat, I have to give him a hand!" The old Vermillion Bird jumped into the air and disappeared before everyone.

In just a moment, the roar of a dragon echoed in the distance. This roar was filled with anger and indignation. One could see a 100,000-foot-long dragon being brought over by the old Vermillion Bird.

The surrounding cultivators were all gobsmacked as the old Vermillion Bird carried the struggling dragon above the incense stick. He waved his right hand and a wound appeared on the scab on the dragon's head. Blood fell like a waterfall on the incense stick.

Under this intense pain, water gathered in the fire dragon's eyes. It was filled with grievance and reluctance, and it began to struggle even more violently.

With a bang, the old Vermillion Bird landed on the dragon. A surge of fire entered the dragon's body, causing even more blood to flow out.

"Damn it, you little dragon, don't move recklessly. If this kid awakens successfully, this old man will let you go free!"

When the fire dragon heard this, it showed a hint of hesitation, but soon it clenched its teeth and did its best to squeeze out more blood.
