Chapter 608 - Blood Soul Pill
The sickle was made of the devilish energy from the armor the old man was wearing. He wasn't a devil, so the devilish energy he helped create wasn't pure, meaning the sickle that appeared wasn't perfect. However, the illusion that came out from his brow was part of a real devil soul. With this devil soul, even normal metal could be turned into a devil blade, much less this sickle created from devilish energy.
After the devil soul fused with the sickle, it turned into a devilish sickle! It now also carried the dao of the devil with it!
No one knew which was stronger between Ling Tianhou's sword energy and the devilish sickle with the devil soul.
There was a flash of sword energy as Ling Tianhou's sword energy flew out from Wang Lin's finger. This sword energy was simply too powerful! Just it appearing caused the sky to change color!
At this moment, it was as if everything in the world had stopped. Even the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning spell and the underworld river in the sky dimmed!
The moment the sword light appeared, the sky was suddenly filled with sword energy! The sword energy was so dense that the underworld river went back into Wang Lin's body. The 130,000 strands of slaughter energy collapsed and the underworld river soul turned back into 100 million soul fragments.
The wind, rain, thunder, and lightning spell was the same. The black thunder immediately shattered and the raindrops along with the black lightning it carried all crashed. Even the wind vortex was pierced through by the sword energy and immediately collapsed.
The moment the sword energy appeared, all of the other spells had to make way and were not allowed to take attention from it. This was Ling Tianhou's dao within the sword energy!
Dao of tyranny!
Ling Tianhou was proud his entire life and traveled the world with his tyranny. The tyranny inside his sword energy was the heavens' might!
The devil illusion on the devilish sickle revealed a serious expression. The sickle flickered and charged directly at Wang Lin.
The sword energy carried the dao of tyranny as it swept toward the sickle!
Ling Tianhou's figure seemed to appear behind the sword energy at the moment the sword energy and devilish sickle collided. Likewise, the illusion of a single-horned devil appeared behind the devilish sickle.
At the moment they collided, the ground immediately collapsed. Then a huge rift dividing the earth appeared and quickly began to spread.
The clouds in the sky immediately disappeared, and at this moment, the entire sky dimmed.
The illusion of the devil behind the devilish blade revealed a frustrated expression before collapsing. Following the devil, the devilish sickle collapsed!
Ling Tianhou's sword energy was now dim, leaving only a sliver of golden light. However, this sliver of golden light still contained Ling Tianhou's dao!
At the moment the devilish sickled collapsed, the remaining sword energy swept toward the black tower.
After Wang Lin released Ling Tianhou's sword energy, he retreated without any hesitation. He had to retreat, he had no choice but to retreat! After Wang Lin became sober, he felt fear. If he had stepped into the tower like he was going to when he was crazy, he would have without a doubt died!
Earlier, he couldn't retreat with the black-armored old man watching him. However, now that he had released the sword energy, this was the best time to retreat!
The black-armored old man coughed out a large mouthful of blood when the devilish sickle collapsed. He looked weakened, but when he saw Wang Lin retreating, he clenched his teeth and wanted to chase. However, he immediately stopped, then his expression changed and he charged directly at the sword energy.
The sword energy was headed directly toward the black tower. He knew how important the black tower was!
Although the old man's speed was fast, the sword energy was even faster. The sword energy arrived next to the tower in an instant. A cold snort came from the tower, causing the sword energy to tremble, but it didn't dissipate. The tyrannical nature of the sword energy allowed it to pierce through the power of the cold snort and land on the tower.
A soft "eh?" came from inside the black tower. Although the black tower didn't collapse, cracks appeared on it.
"What a powerful sword energy! The person who created this sword energy is even stronger than me at my prime!"
The black-armored old man let out a big breath of relief when he saw that the sword energy dissipated and the black tower didn't collapse. Just at this moment, thick devilish energy came out from the tower and directly entered the old man's body. The black armor that the old man was wearing gave off a demonic glow.
His body immediately began to swell up, and soon he expanded to a 30-foot-tall giant. The armor he was wearing also expanded with him. A black horn grew on the old man's forehead and gave off a cold aura.
At this moment, the old man was no longer human! He let out a painful roar before suddenly turning around. He looked at the retreating Wang Lin and his eyes became cold!
"Little bastard, I want to see where you are going to escape to!" With that, he chased after Wang Lin.
"I won because of the Celestial Ascension Fruit, but I also lost because of the Celestial Ascension Fruit!" Wang Lin let out a sigh before his eyes lit up and he thought, "I can only risk it!" His right hand touched the bag of holding and a wax pill appeared in his hand.
There were countless symbols on this wax pill, and they flickered along with Wang Lin's heart beat.
Wang Lin clenched his teeth as he split off a part of his divine sense and suddenly charged into his bag of holding. He swept through his bag and soon locked onto a small ball sealed by countless restrictions. Then his divine sense charged inside.
Inside the ball, Yao Xixue's face was crimson and countless drops of sweat appeared on her face. She revealed a strange expression that was filled with pain and comfort. There were also flashes of humiliation and struggle.
"Yao Xixue, tell me how to use the Blood Soul Pill! If you don't, then I'll crush my bag of holding before I die, trapping you in the void. You will maintain your current state until your life force runs out!"
Wang Lin's divine sense message charged directly into Yao Xixue's soul. His message was like a bolt of lightning, causing her to suddenly become sober for a moment. However, she immediately began to struggle, as the restrictions on her body created a strange feeling that was about to make her collapse!
Yao Xixue struggled and said, "Release… release … the restriction… I… will tell… you!" She would rather tell Wang Lin everything then continue to endure this torment.
Wang Lin's divine sense swept past Yao Xixue and the restriction on her body immediately disappeared. Yao Xixue let out a sigh of relief. Although her face was still red, without the restriction tormenting her, she felt a lot more relaxed.
She had never seen Wang Lin this anxious before. Her eyes moved and she was about to start bargaining with him.
Wang Lin had split his divine sense, so only a part of it had gone inside the bag, while the other part was controlling his body. At this moment, the black-armored old man was catching up. Wang Lin's eyes became cold and a war axe flew out from his bag of holding.
This was the war axe from the Giant Demon Clan. After Wang Lin took it out, he threw it and shouted, "Explode!"
The war axe trembled and suddenly exploded, creating a powerful shock wave. The black-armored old man frowned and let out a cold snort. He waved his hand and the shock wave from the axe immediately dissipated.
Inside the bag of holding, Wang Lin shouted, "Are you going to speak?!" With one thought, the restrictions appeared once more. If she refused to speak, then he was prepared to let her continued to struggle in agony.
Yao Xixue's face was crimson, but her eyes were filled with fear. Without any hesitation, she quickly told Wang Lin the method to use the Blood Soul Pill.
At this moment in the outside world, the black-armored old man swept away the shock wave from the war axe. Then his right hand reached out toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin questioned Yao Xixue again inside the bag of holding before coming back out. He crushed the Blood Soul Pill in his hand and then a drop of blue blood appeared!
With no time to lose, Wang Lin bit the tip of this finger and began drawing a complex symbol in the air with his blood. After this symbol was formed, it quickly fused with the drop of blue blood. Wang Lin quickly grabbed it and pressed it between his eyebrows.
At this moment, the 30-foot-tall black-armored old man closed in. Then the symbol came back out from between Wang Lin's eyebrows. He flicked the symbol tens of thousands of kilometers away and it disappeared over the horizon.
After doing all of this, Wang Lin suddenly turned around and the clarity in his eyes disappeared. What replaced it was a crazy amount of killing and battle intent!
"Old thing, die for me!" The crazy Wang Lin's eyes were blood-red. After letting out a ferocious roar, instead of retreating, he charged at the old man.
When he rushed at the old man, a flame suddenly appeared all over this body. This flame came from inside his body and was a very thick and powerful flame!
The black-armored man's expression suddenly changed. Rather than closing in, he backed off and then continued to retreat!
"You've gone crazy!" The old man's eyes were filled with shock.
Self-destruct! The self-destruct of an Ascendant cultivator! The power of this explosion was something not even this old man wanted to face!
The mysterious power of the Celestial Ascension Fruit filled his mind. He was already crazy and his origin soul was currently burning. Those four drops of celestial liquid began to boil as his origin soul burned.
Wang Lin's figure moved like a meteor and charged directly at the old man. As the old man's expression changed, he continued to retreat!
"Explode!" The flame around Wang Lin's body suddenly burned even stronger. He looked at the old man and his body was suddenly destroyed by the celestial spiritual energy inside him. His origin soul was also destroyed along with the body, creating an unimaginable shock wave.
If a normal Ascendant cultivator were to self-destruct, at most the old man would be injured. However, Wang Lin had the four drops of celestial liquid inside his body, so the difference was huge!
The power of the self-destruct spread like crazy. The old man's body was the first thing hit, and he immediately coughed out blood. The armor on his body immediately turned into threads and formed a shield before his body to resist against the power of this self-destruct!
However, the shield only lasted three breaths of time before it condensed into the image of a devil. Then it immediately left the old man and flew toward the black tower.
Without the shield protecting him, the old man was immediately hit by the power of Wang Lin's self-destruct and his body collapsed!
While Wang Lin blew himself up, just as his body was exploding, he looked at the black tower and threw a punch. This punch was formed by his dao, life, and origin soul. It even contained the will of the ancient god. All of the these powers from his body were used in this punch.
This punch formed a powerful gust of wind and charged straight at the black tower. The black tower shook and the cracks left by Ling Tianhou's sword energy began to spread. In the blink of an eye, the entire black tower collapsed!
A set of armor missing a wrist guard floated quietly in the air. There was a bright flash of a ghostly light and a divine sense rushed out.
"You dare to destroy my devil tower! Even if you have a relationship with him, I'll kill you!"
The devil tower was an important tool that provided devilish energy, which allowed the divine sense inside the armor to spread out. Without the devil tower, it wouldn't be able to cover a majority of the Demon Spirit Land like before!
A black formation was uncovered on the ground where the tower used to be. There was a person sitting in the lotus position in the formation. His long hair flowed in the wind and there were golden-purple tattoos on his body.
The armor in the sky descended, turned into black threads, and surrounded this person. In the blink of an eye, the armor was being worn by this person, and at this moment, the person opened his eyes!
Hundreds of kilometers away, a drop of blue blood appeared from the void. The moment this drop of blood appeared, it quickly flew off into the distance. As it flew, the drop of blood slowly turned into the figure of Wang Lin!
Chapter 609 - Ancient Demon's Blood Shadow
The drop of blue blood turned into Wang Lin. He reached into the air and his bag of holding appeared out of nowhere. Then he put on a blue robe before he took a step and used several teleportations at once. He disappeared without a trace.
His figure appeared countless kilometers away. Then he charged directly toward the capital of the Sky Demon country.
After the Blood Soul Pill absorbs a trace of divine sense and blood, it also activates another ability for a short period of time. At the moment of death, anything that is linked to the origin soul will be merged with the void. After one is resurrected, they can use the power of their soul and blood to retrieve the items stored in the void!
Back then, Yao Xixue used this function!
Back then, the All-Seer gave Wang Lin a life-saving treasure, but that treasure could only withstand the blow of an Ascendant cultivator. Although the cultivation of the 30-foot-tall old man was at the late stage of Ascendant, his true power far surpassed that.
There was also that mysterious existence in the black tower, so even if he had used the life-saving treasure, it would be hard for him to stay alive. That was why Wang Lin had decided to risk it with the Blood Soul Pill after he thought of countless possibilities!
Otherwise, he would've had to fight the existence inside the black tower, and that existence was simply too powerful. After Wang Lin became sober, he recalled what happened and was completely terrified. If it wasn't for the stimulation of the Celestial Ascension Fruit, he would have already died countless times from the divine sense attack from the mysterious existence inside the black tower.
He couldn't possibly spend the next 400 years inside the Demon Spirit Land consuming the Celestial Ascension Fruit to simulate his origin soul. Otherwise, before that person killed him, he would have completely lost his mind to the madness.
As a result, he had to risk it all. If he couldn't heavily injure or destroy the existence inside the black tower, then no matter how far he escaped, he wouldn't be able to escape that person's divine sense attacks.
He was afraid that at the moment the effect of the Celestial Ascension Fruit disappeared, that existence would begin its divine sense attack once more. Wang Lin believed that he would have died for sure at that moment!
The existence inside the black tower never came out the entire time. It was obvious that it required the tower to exist, and this made Wang Lin even more determined!
He came out of teleportation and continued to fly toward Sky Demon City. He had two preparations to make. The first was already complete, and the second was to get help from the Ancient Demon!
Wang Lin secretly thought, "The matter from 10 years ago was delayed due to me breaking through to the Ascendant stage. However, that matter was extremely important, so I believe the Ancient Demon won't go back on his word." He flew even faster. There were still some remnants of the Celestial Ascension Fruit inside his origin soul, and now that he was sober, he could easily get rid of it. However, Wang Lin didn't do so because he needed to keep it as a backup in case the black tower wasn't important and the existence inside could still attack him using divine sense!
"If that is really the case, then I must be prepared to live the life of a fugitive." Wang Lin let out a sigh. He and the existence inside the black tower had no previous grievances. It was the existence that attacked him first, but there was no right or wrong in the cultivation world; strength was the only thing that mattered.
After coming out of teleportation, Wang Lin was surprised to find that the celestial spiritual energy he had used up was immediately replenished. This meant that he could use greater teleportation multiple times.
It has to be said that the greater teleportation spell consumed a lot of celestial spiritual energy. Before, he would've had to spend time absorbing celestial spiritual energy from celestial jades. However, it wasn't a concern right now, so he continued to use greater teleportation.
"It must be because those four drops of celestial spiritual energy completely fused with me when I self-destructed. After I resurrected, they must somehow exist in a special way inside my body!" After thinking about it for a bit, Wang Lin no longer thought about it. He had used greater teleportation many times now and the capital was not far away.
It could be said that Wang Lin rushed like he never did before during this trip.
"Unfortunately, I was under the stimulation of the Celestial Ascension Fruit, or else I would not have left that sword energy behind… However, I remember where that body was. I wonder if the sword energy will still be there if I go back." Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he became excited, but he knew that now was not the time to go back to the Fire Demon Country.
Wang Lin was only one greater teleport away from the Sky Demon Country's capital. When he was about to take a step to teleport, an angry roar suddenly came from behind him.
"I want to see where you can escape to!"
A large man wearing armor appeared 10,000 feet behind Wang Lin. This person looked very dignified. His eyes lit up and then his body was covered by a monstrous amount of devilish energy.
Wang Lin's expression changed and he took a step out. When his body was about to disappear, he turned around to look at the large man. This gaze almost made him exclaim.
"Ling Tianhou!!!"
This large man looked very similar to Sword Saint Ling Tianhou!
Wang Lin's body disappeared and reappeared 50 kilometers outside of the capital. His expression was gloomy as his eyes lit up and he thought, "He is not Ling Tianhou! Although that person looks like Ling Tianhou, he seems to be much younger! In addition, that person lacks the aura that Ling Tianhou has, and their appearances aren't completely the same. There are some similarities… could it be…"
Just at this moment, the large man wearing armor stepped out from the void behind Wang Lin. He stared at Wang Lin and asked, "Why aren't you running!?" With that, his hand reached out and five strands of devilish energy shot out from the tip of his finger.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he suddenly asked, "Who is Ling Tianhou to you!?"
The large man's right hand suddenly paused. A hint of confusion appeared in his devilish-energy-filled eyes.
"Ling Tianhou… What a familiar name…"
Wang Lin quickly backed up. His eyes became cold and he shouted, "The Da Lou Sword Sect's Sword Saint Ling Tianhou!"
"Da Lou Sword Sect… Sword Saint…" The confusion in the large man's eyes became even stronger and he began to struggle. Just at this moment, the illusion of a devil soul suddenly appeared between the large man's eyebrows. He gave Wang Lin a vicious glare before letting out a sharp cry.
This cry caused the confusion in the large man's eyes to disappear, and it was replaced by a devilish flame.
Wang Lin quickly retreated and shouted, "Ancient Demon!"
A powerful will suddenly charged out from Sky Demon City and descended before Wang Lin!
"You're late by 10 years!" The Ancient Demon's voice entered Wang Lin's ears.
"Lend me your blood!"
After hearing that voice, a large amount of blood came out from the pores on Wang Lin's body. This blood was condensed into the shape of a human, and the ancient demon's consciousness descended upon it.
Wang Lin's body trembled, as he had lost a majority of the blood in his body. His face was pale and he quickly took out a pill. Then he sat down in the lotus position and began to cultivate.
The devil soul on the large man's forehead stared at the blood shadow before Wang Lin and shouted, in a mysterious language, "Bei Luo, you dare to hinder me?!"
The blood shadow moved and turned into a body with two horns. A demonic light appeared inside his eyes. He looked at the devil soul and calmly said, "You are only one of the nine scattered soul pieces of the ancient devil. Why can't I hinder you?!"
"Language of the ancient gods!" Wang Lin opened his eyes and revealed a pondering expression.
Chapter 610 - Mission Accomplished
The devil soul that came out from the large man stared at the Ancient Demon formed from Wang Lin's blood. It then let out a sharp screech that was filled with penetrating power. The devil soul suddenly sank back into the large man and the large eyes revealed an unprecedented amount of devilish flames.
He then took a step forward and a giant illusion of the devil soul appeared behind him.
The eyes of the Ancient Demon formed from Wang Lin's blood lit up. He casually waved his hand and a demonic fog suddenly appeared. The demonic fog wrapped around the large man and charged into the sky.
At the same time, a screen of demonic spiritual energy came down from the sky and covered the entire Sky Demon City. The Ancient Demon and devil started a great battle in the fog in the sky.
Bursts of rumbling sounds came from the sky. Sometimes devilish flames filled the sky, and sometimes demonic spiritual energy swept the area.
Wang Lin sat on the ground in the lotus position. His eyes were looking at the sky while he cultivated. It was as if his eyes could penetrate the fog in the sky and directly see the fighting happening inside.
This scene caused Wang Lin's heart to tremble. The attacks of the Ancient Demon and the shattered devil held enough power to split the world in half. All of these spells caused the memories of ancient god Tu Si that had been buried deep in Wang Lin's mind to surface once more.
Wang Lin's eyes became brighter and brighter. As he continued to watch, he completely gave up on cultivating. Instead, his hand subconsciously formed seal after seal of various spells from ancient god Tu Si's memories.
Although he formed these seals, they had no attack power behind them.
However, at this moment, through the mysterious connection to his origin soul, an oppressive power erupted on a small planet countless kilometers away from the East Demon Spirit Sea outside of the Demon Spirit Land.
The original body with a head full of red hair suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes looked like they contained the entire sky within them. At the moment his eyes opened, his hand began to move, forming various seals.
The original body's red hair flowed and the stars between his eyebrows flickered. As his hand continued to change, the stars began to flicker even more frequently. Then his hands suddenly extended to both sides and he said, "Absorb!"
With one word, the small planet he was on began to tremble. Strands of spiritual energy moved toward the depths of the planet and were absorbed by the original body.
At the same time, Wang Lin also did the same motion in the Demon Spirit Land. He stared at the thick fog in the sky and slowly revealed a smile.
"The battle between the Ancient Demon and the shattered devil allowed me to understand some ancient god spells. The benefits the original body obtained can't be estimated."
世界で最も息を呑むような高速道路15選ブルーライフ
This battle lasted for three days. The blood Wang Lin lost had already been replenished, as celestial spiritual energy cycled his body and stimulated his bone marrow to create more blood. As the celestial spiritual energy cycled through his body, he reached his peak.
While calmly looking at the sky, his right hand formed a seal and he pointed upwards. The underworld river suddenly appeared around him. Countless broken limbs could be seen inside the river, and there was a constant wailing coming from it.
"Shattered devil, although I, Wang Lin, am weak, I am not someone you can casually kill!"
Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and the one-billion-soul soul flag appeared in his hand. He tossed it into the underworld river.
When the one-billion-soul soul flag entered the underworld river, the 100 million soul fragments came out.
Wang Lin's eyes became cold and took out the restriction flag. This flag was damaged back when he used it against the divine retribution, and a lot of the restrictions inside it were broken. Although there weren't many restrictions left, Wang Lin still threw it into the underworld river.
After that, it was the celestial sword! Although Xu Liguo was extremely unwilling, he didn't dare to refuse Wang Lin right now. He could only endlessly sigh in his heart and think, "Forget it. We have already returned to Sky Demon City. That little beauty has been waiting for me for 10 years; I wonder if she was faithful…" As he thought about this, he was thrown into the underworld river by Wang Lin. Following him was the half-moon blade.
Then it was the Soul Lasher, sword sheaths, and Mo Yang's sword. In the end, aside from the war chariot and the mysterious painting, Wang Lin threw almost all of the treasures he had into the underworld river.
The countless treasures inside the underworld river formed a very chaotic but very powerful force. Then Wang Lin took a deep breath and pressed his finger between his eyebrows. The 130,000 strands of slaughter energy turned into 130,000 life seals that protected him.
His eyes were still locked on to the sky. At this moment, his eyes narrowed and he flew into sky without any hesitation. His hand extended toward the ground and the underworld river flew into the air and condensed into a yellow light!
Not only did it carry all of Wang Lin's treasures, it also contained his dao.
Carrying the yellow light, Wang Lin charged out. At this moment, in the thick fog in the sky, many parts of the armor of the large man had broken off. He had been forced to retreat many times and the devilish flame in his eyes had weakened, but he continued to release crazy roars.
The eyes of the Ancient Demon formed from Wang Lin's blood lit up. He charged out and continued to use one spell after another. The large man coughed out blood and was forced to retreat once more.
"Accept your death!" The Ancient Demon let out a shout before the illusion of himself went inside the blood body. He then turned into a ray of demonic light and surrounded the large man's entire body.
Being surrounded by the demonic light caused the devil soul to reappear between the large man's eyebrows. The devil let out a sharp screech and a sound wave spread out. Under the effect of the sound wave, the demonic light paused for a moment. Then the devil soul gave the ancient demon a vicious look and returned back into the large man.
At the same time, the large man backed up to escape!
Wang Lin was waiting for this moment! He charged into the sky like a meteor. The yellow light in his hand shined, and in the blink of an eye, he charged into the thick fog. He charged straight at the large man who was attempting to leave the attack range of the Ancient Demon.
As he retreated, the large man noticed Wang Lin's approach. There was a hint of contempt in his eyes, as he didn't consider Wang Lin worthy of his attention at all. He casually waved his right hand at Wang Lin as he backed up!
A gust of wind was created from his hand and then the 130,000 life seals around Wang Lin's body began to collapse. 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, 80,000…
As the life seals collapsed, Wang Lin's eyes became cold. He forced himself forward and arrived before the large man just as all 130,000 life seals collapsed. Then Wang Lin threw the yellow light in his hand without any hesitation.
The large man let out a cold snort. Then his right hand formed a fist and punched at the yellow light. He wanted to shatter this yellow light!
However, at the moment his right hand collided with the yellow light, his expression changed greatly. There were too many different auras inside the yellow light, and all of them were merged by force by a strand of divine sense and dao. It somehow actually formed a force that could threaten him.
If everything was normal, perhaps it wouldn't really threaten him. However, even though he was already injured, he had just started a great battle with the Ancient Demon only to suffer more injuries. Also, after losing the devil tower, his divine sense was trapped inside the armor. He was unable to spread out his divine sense and thus he couldn't use a lot of his spells.
The yellow light's power surged out and the large man involuntarily stopped for a moment. The price of this pause was the demonic light formed by the ancient demon caught up and completely engulfed him!
This demonic light was an extremely powerful spell of the ancient demons that could refine all living things in the world. The large man let out a miserable groan and began to release a large amount of devilish energy. This devilish energy was immediately refined, leaving not a single trace of it behind.
The devil came out from the large man's eyebrows and shouted. "Bei Luo, if you kill me, Master will definitely not forgive you for this!" He also came out completely before turning into a ray of light and entering the armor.
Right after he did so, the armor left the large man's body. The armor was surrounded by a monstrous amount of devilish energy and was about to charge out of the demonic light. "Abandon the mount to save the general" was the thought in the devil soul's mind right now. Although he would lose the body, as long as the armor wasn't lost, he could recover one day. At most he would just have to find another body.
Also, without the body, the devil soul believed he would be able to escape with his spells!
After the large man lost the armor, his entire body began to erode under the demonic light. Then his eyes dimmed and he fell from the sky.
The armor spent almost all of its devilish energy to escape from the demonic light.
The devil was very happy. As long as he could get out of the demonic light, he could use a spell to quickly leave. However, just as he became happy, that happiness disappeared. Wang Lin's right hand moved like lightning and grabbed the armor right as it charged out.
Wang Lin would do whatever it took to get things done. After all the planning he did, how could he let this so called shattered devil escape at the last moment? If the devil escaped today, he would forever have to face the devil's crazed revenge in the future unless he hid inside Sky Demon City forever.
Also, Wang Lin believed that the Ancient Demon would definitely help him at the last moment. Otherwise, the Ancient Demon would not have appeared at all. With Wang Lin's cunning, he was easily able to see through all of this.
At the moment his right hand grabbed the armor, Wang Lin already expected the devil soul to enter his body, so he activated the remaining Celestial Ascension Fruit inside his origin soul. Wang Lin's eyes suddenly turned blood-red and his entire body entered a state of extreme madness.
"You won't be able to escape!" As Wang Lin shouted, he suddenly pulled his right hand back, dragging the armor back with it. The devil soul appeared from the armor and viciously stared at Wang Lin. The devil soul let out a roar before charging into Wang Lin's palm and rushing toward Wang Lin's origin soul.
At the same time, the armor turned into black strands. It wrapped itself around Wang Lin and then turned back into armor.
Wang Lin was now wearing a set of black armor, his eyes were blood-red, and his hair moved without any wind. Inside his body, his origin soul had reached its peak with the help of the Celestial Ascension Fruit. He began a battle with the devil soul that had lost most of its devilish energy.
The demonic light dissipated and turned back into the Ancient Demon's blood shadow. He looked at Wang Lin with admiration in his eyes and smiled. "What a good strategy, to stimulate the origin soul to help resist against the devil soul. If I help you, then I will have done as you planned, but if I don't help you, then the battle earlier will end up being pointless. You calculated that I would definitely help you… Good, this is your fortune, so I'll help you!" As the Ancient Demon spoke, he grabbed Wang Lin. He also grabbed the large man whose body was eroding but hadn't died yet. Then the Ancient Demon turned into a ray of light and charged toward the dragon lake outside of Sky Demon City.
Chapter 611 - Don't Forget The First Scene Of Suzaku
Outside of rank 7 cultivation planet Tian Yun.
Blood Star.
A woman wearing purple was riding a three-foot-long sword as she quickly flew across the vastness of space. There were three women wearing colorful robes chasing after her.
One of the women chasing the woman in purple sneered. "Wretch, you betrayed the Heavenly Water Sect and stole the junior sect master's holy treasure. Do you really think you can escape!? Even if this place is under the influence of planet Tian Yun, my Five Element Planet is also a rank 7 cultivation planet. You won't be able to run away!"
The purple-robed woman clenched her teeth and her face was extremely pale. The purple veil she was previously wearing had already fallen off.
"You have Gu poison in your body. I want to see how much farther you can escape!"
The woman in purple revealed a bitter expression. The Gu poison in her body had already activated and had been forcibly suppressing her the entire way. Originally, she could have escaped, but she didn't expect her sister to betray her and lure the enemy to her.
Right now she was like a lamp without any oil. She could no longer suppress the Gu poison in her body and coughed out a large mouthful of blood. Her face became pale and the large sword under her swayed slightly.
She let out a bitter smile as she controlled the sword under her to charge straight toward a blood-red planet.
The three women behind her let out cold snorts and sped up their chase.
The woman in purple closed in on the blood-red planet and broke through the atmosphere. When she closed in on the surface, she immediately saw a blood-red pavilion.
A man walked out from the pavilion. He had red hair and red eyebrows and was wearing a red robe. As he stood there, although there wasn't a trace of celestial spiritual energy on him, he gave off a suffocating sense of majesty.
He coldly looked at the purple-robed woman and the three women chasing her. He frowned and calmly said, "Scram!"
The three women's expressions changed slightly. One of them quickly said, "The Heavenly Water Sect of Five Element Planet is attempting to capture a traitor. I hope Senior won't intervene!"
A flash of coldness appeared in the man's eyes. He then waved his large sleeves, causing a gust of wind to blow the three women out of the blood-red planet.
"What is your name?!"
"Zi Xin, junior's name is Zi Xin. A cultivator from the rank 6 cultivation planet Suzaku." The purple-robed woman stared at the person before her. This person was able to send the people chasing her away with a single wave of his sleeves. This kind of cultivator was simply too terrifying.

Planet Suzaku.
Country of Chu, the Cloud Sky Sect!
The Cloud Sky Sect was completely different from before. The country of Chu was raised to a rank 4 cultivation country by the current Suzaku, Zhou Wutai. Although it was only rank 4, its sphere of influence was the largest among the rank 4 cultivation countries.
Even all of the rank 5 cultivation countries had to be respectful when they were in Chu, especially when facing the Cloud Sky Sect.
This was because almost everyone who experienced those few hundred years of events all knew of a cultivator named Wang Lin. That person single-handedly set out a huge, never-before-seen wave on planet Suzaku!
After the Cloud Sky Sect became a rank 4 country, they tore down their sect. Then, with the help of the entire country, they built a giant statue out of high-quality spirit stones!
This statue was that of a man wearing black. His eyes revealed a pondering expression. Although he wasn't handsome, he gave off an out-of-this-world feeling. His right hand formed a seal as if he was wondering.
The statue emitted a terrifying majesty that enveloped the surrounding area!
This was the location of the Cloud Sky Sect. It was also something that the countless Cloud Sky Sect disciples worshipped. It was also something that all cultivators in Chu respected. It was also a legend for planet Suzaku!
There was currently one old person and one young person walking up the stairs to the Cloud Sky Sect.
At their current position, they could clearly see the towering statue. The teenager's face was filled with curiosity as he asked, "Grandpa, is this the statue you were talking about?"
The old man looked at the statue and revealed a trace of reminiscence. After a long time, he rubbed the child's head and said, "Do you know why the head of the Cloud Sky Sect was able to reach the Soul Formation stage? Why all of the sects in Chu consider the Cloud Sky Sect as their ruler?
"Why all those experts from rank 5 cultivation countries must be so respectful when they are here? All of it is because of this statue!"
The youth seemed startled before blinking and smiling. "That is strange; how can a statue make everyone so respectful?"
The old man sighed and said, "Although the person the statue is based on only cultivated here for a short period of time, during those few hundred years, he set off a never-before-seen storm on planet Suzaku! There were some things that only spread after he left. Rumor has it that when he had only cultivated for 200 years, he managed create a complete mess in the Sea of Devils. He saved a beautiful woman and completely shocked the entire Cloud Sky Sect. He slaughtered his way through Zhao, creating rivers of blood. The entire Teng family was slaughtered, and the entire country became a graveyard!
"Rumor has it that he went into the Celestial Realm and cut off Red Butterfly's arm. He defeated Liu Mei, battled Qian Feng, and accepted the Soul Refining Sect's Du Tain as his master. He destroyed Xue Yue, killed the Giant Demon Clan ancestor, and became famous during the battle against the Forsaken Immortal Clan. He obtained the Suzaku Crystal inside the Suzaku Tomb. After defeating many others, he was the first to obtain the Suzaku Crystal!
"He could have obtained the title of Suzaku, but he refused it and gave it to the current Suzaku, Zhou Wutai!"
The youth exclaimed, "He actually refused the title of Suzaku!?"
"Why else do you think the current Suzaku, Zhou Wutai, also comes and silently gazes at this statue every time a big event happens? On planet Suzaku, before that person was born, the holy land was Mount Suzaku. Now the holy land is this Cloud Sky Sect!"
The youth's mouth was wide open. He had heard about all of this before, but it was never as detailed as today. His heart beat faster and his little face was filled with excitement as he said, "Grandpa, I want to be like him in the future. What is his name? Where did he go?"
"His name is Wang Lin… I also don't know where he went… But no matter where he goes, such a person won't be ordinary…" The old man sighed and bitterly smiled. "Your grandpa once had dealings with him, but I'm afraid he has long forgotten who I am…"
The youth was about to speak in excitement when the roar of a tiger suddenly came from below the mountain. This tiger's roar was filled with majesty and caused the trees to shake.
At the same time, a large, black-striped tiger jumped up from the bottom of the mountain toward the top. There was a woman sitting on the back of the tiger. She was about 20 years old and was wearing white. Her clothes moved with the wind and she looked like a celestial.
This woman's appearance was not the most beautiful, but she looked very delicate with her pink skin. Her beautiful eyes showed her intelligence.
"Little White, faster!" The woman's voice was like a yellow oriole, very alluring.
The tiger she was sitting on let out another roar and charged directly at the Cloud Sky Sect. When they reached the stop of the mountain, the tiger landed beside the statue. The tiger's eyes turned to look at the statue. Then his eyes filled with disdain and he thought, "This little girl is too silly. Why must she try to find this person? It is much better to stay on planet Suzaku. This tiger lord has so many tigresses; if we have to leave in the future, how can I bear to separate from them all? However, this little girl once said that there are more beautiful tigresses outside of planet Suzaku. This makes it somewhat difficult for this tiger lord…"
The woman stared at the statue and softly said, "Uncle, little Ru Er has already reached the Core Formation stage. Very fast, right? I'm very diligent. Grandpa Tie Yan said that once I reach the Nascent Soul stage, he will give me the bag you left for me. Uncle, I'll definitely be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage!"
A soft sigh appeared from the void and then a tall old man walked out from the Cloud Sky Sect. He was wearing a daoist robe that gave him a sense of majesty.
He arrived next to the statue. First he bowed to the statue and then looked at the woman and tiger. His eyes were filled with kindness and love as he said, "Ru Er, you must follow your heart. If you force yourself to pursue the Nascent Soul stage, then you will walk down the wrong path and will be walking against the flow!"
The woman looked at the statue and softly said, "Grandpa Tie Yan, back then, when Uncle left Zhao and went into the Sea of Devils, wasn't he also dead set on reaching the Nascent Soul stage? Thus, following one's heart isn't always the right advice."
This old man was Tie Yan. After Wang Lin gave him some pointers, he was able to break through the Nascent Soul stage and reach the Soul Formation stage. Aside from being grateful, he felt even more respect for Wang Lin. He never touched the bag Wang Lin left behind; he didn't dare to.
He couldn't forget Wang Lin's calm gaze before Wang Lin left.
Zhou Ru withdrew her gaze and looked at Tie Yan. She revealed a smile that was like a lily blooming and said, "Grandpa Tie Yan, on the way here, I met the current Suzaku, Uncle Zhou. He wanted me to go cultivate at Mount Suzaku. He said that my cultivation will be faster there, so Ru Er is here to say goodbye to you today."
Tie Yan understood that Zhou Ru's status on planet Suzaku was extremely special. It could be said that she was the little princess of planet Suzaku. Almost everyone who met Wang Lin before was extremely courteous toward her, whether it was due to fear or respect toward Wang Lin.
Even the Forsaken Immortal Clan was extremely polite to Zhou Ru. Normally, the Forsaken Immortal Clan wouldn't allow any cultivator to enter their territory, but Zhou Ru was one of the few exceptions.
It could be said that Zhou Ru would not meet any danger on planet Suzaku. Also, Zhou Wutai, the Forsaken Immortal Clan's Yunque Zi, and many other people with high cultivation levels all gifted her life-saving treasures. If any average cultivators really wanted to fight this little Core Formation girl, they might not be able to win.
In addition, there were experts sent by Mount Suzaku and the Giant Demon Clan's patriarch, Chi Hu, following her. They were ready to protect her at any moment, so she wouldn't face any danger.
Among the people protecting her, there were also people from the Cloud Sky Sect.
After pondering a bit, Tie Yan nodded and kindly said, "OK, you cultivate well at Mount Suzaku. If you really reach the Nascent Soul stage one day, I'll immediately give you the things Benefactor left behind for you!"
Zhou Ru smiled before turning around and looking meaningfully at the statue. She then slapped the tiger's head and said, "Little White, let's go to Mount Suzaku!"
Little White let out a roar before jumping into the air and disappearing over the horizon.
"It has to be said that this tiger lord was able to borrow that Wang Lin's might a lot in these years. Those cultivators that would normally want to catch me before are now all extremely respectful when they see me. Forget it; for the sake of this little girl, if she wants to leave planet Suzaku, this tiger lord will just have to follow her." As Little White flew in the air, drool flew out the corner of his mouth. God knows if that was the real reason he made up his mind or if it was because of the tigresses from other planets that Zhou Ru talked about…
Chapter 612 - Second Origin Soul
In the Dragon Lake outside of Sky Demon City!
There was a large number of demons soldiers guarding the Dragon Lake year-round. There were also many hidden experts of the capital that spent their time cultivating here. No matter how big of an event happened, unless it was targeting the Dragon Lake, they wouldn't appear.
Thanks to the powerful demonic spiritual energy here, even the divine retribution ten years ago didn't cause any damage here.
The water in the Dragon Lake was filled with demonic spiritual energy. There was another world at the bottom of the lake. A screen of demonic spiritual energy blocked the path to the underground cave.
There was a statue in the underground cave. This statue was completely black and looked exactly like the Ancient Demon.
Right now there was a demonic glow coming from the statue's eyes.
There was another pond below the statue. This pond didn't have much liquid, but the liquid had become very sticky. Wang Lin was currently sitting in the lotus position inside this pond. He was still wearing the armor, but his eyes were closed.
The large man that looked like Ling Tianhou was sitting in front of Wang Lin. He was completely encased in a purple crystal, and the erosion on his body was slowly healing.
Strands of demonic light came out from the statue and entered Wang Lin's body. Every time the demonic light entered Wang Lin's body, he trembled.
The devil inside his origin soul had already been suppressed with the help of the Ancient Demon.
The devil was currently in a coma, but Wang Lin's goal wasn't just to suppress but to devour!
He was going to devour this scattered devil to help improve his own cultivation!
However, this scattered devil was simply too large and was not something he could easily devour. Wang Lin had been sitting in this pool for several months as he slowly devoured the devil, but he still hadn't managed to completely devour it.
Although this was the case Wang Lin continued to create countless restrictions and placed them on the devil. After these few months, countless restrictions had been placed on the devil.
Also, with the help of the Ancient Demon, Wang Lin was able to leave an imprint in the scattered devil's soul. However, the scattered devil was simply too powerful, so the imprint was very weak. Only with the passage of time could Wang Lin continue to carve the imprint on the devil until he could completely control it!
On this day Wang Lin opened his eyes. There was a flash of devilish light in his eyes.
"I'm unable to devour this devil with my current cultivation. I can only continue to engrave the imprint on the devil's soul and one day I'll eventually be able to control it. When that time comes, rather than devouring this devil, another option is to refine it into my second origin soul!"
The second origin soul is a unique spell that cultivators can use once they reach the Ascendant stage. However, this is not a spell that everyone can successfully use. The main reason is the embryo used for the second origin soul!
Scientists First Thought They Were StatuesInvesting Magazine
The strength of the embryo determines the success rate of the creation of a second origin soul. Once a cultivator fails to create a second origin soul, they are hit with a powerful backlash!
Also, a second origin soul causes the cultivator to suffer heavy losses, which is why most Ascendant cultivators choose not to refine a second origin soul. None of the Ascendant cultivators Wang Lin had met so far had a second origin soul, and very few of the cultivators above Ascendant that he had met had one.
Wang Lin thought, "This is one of the scattered devils of an ancient devil. There is almost no other embryo more fitting for creating a second origin soul. I'm 100% confident I can successfully create a second origin soul with this!"
"Right now my origin soul and body have completely merged, solidifying my Ascendant cultivation. Now that there is no longer any danger, there are some things I must immediately do! I must obtain the remaining pieces of sword energy Ling Tianhou made. It is simply a waste for them to be in the hands of his trash disciples!" Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he stood up inside the pond.
The armor on his body made him look like a demon general, and paired with his long, flowing black hair, it gave him a demonic feel.
After touching the armor, there was a trace of excitement in Wang Lin's eyes. This set of armor was very powerful! There was a thick layer of devilish energy coming out from the armor. However, it was a pity that Wang Lin couldn't absorb it.
"Although this is the case, if I use the Demonic Finger with this armor, then I'm afraid it will be even more powerful than my Underworld River! My cultivation level isn't high enough to make this armor acknowledge me as its master, so I can only use some of its abilities. However, once I refine the scattered devil into my second origin soul, I will be able to use the full power of this armor!" Wang Lin touched the armor before taking out a bracelet from his bag of holding.
The moment this bracelet appeared, it turned into a ray of black light that wrapped around Wang Lin's arm and took form.
"Are you going to leave…" The Ancient Demon's voice came from the statue.
Wang Lin turned around. He clasped his hands at the statue and said, "Senior Ancient Demon has helped me three times now. I will remember this in my heart! This time I'm going to fulfill the agreement from before! However, before this, there are a few matters I need to take care of, and I require Senior Ancient Demon's help."
The Ancient Demon pondered a bit before slowly asking, "What matters?"
Wang Lin pondered a bit before slapping his bag of holding. He took out the pagoda Zhou Yi gave him back then.
"I want to find a sword spirit. This tower has his divine sense. I request Senior Ancient Demon's help to find it."
The Ancient Demon spread out his divine sense and said, "There is no presence of this sword spirit in my Sky Demon Country. As for other places, I have no idea. The Demon Spirit Land is simply too big for me to search. If you can help me take one of the Ancient Demons, I will be able to cast a wide range search spell after I absorb it. Right now it is impossible for me to do it with my current strength. If you have an ancient devil tower, you can spread out your divine sense as well."
Wang Lin withdrew the pagoda and nodded. Then he pointed at the large man surrounded by purple crystal and said, "I want this person!"
The Ancient Demon pondered for much longer this time and then said, "I'll give him to you, but you must retrieve an ancient demon for me within 100 years!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he nodded. "I want to enter the Ancient Demon inheritance and comprehend that mysterious realm! Using it to refine my spells!"
"This matter isn't difficult, but I have already helped you many times and fulfilled my promise to you. You, on the other hand, haven't done anything yet, so we can talk about this once you have retrieved an ancient demon!"
Wang Lin faintly smiled. "Fine, but it will be difficult for me to do this with just one person."
"From today onward, you are my messenger. Your identity is now above the Demon Emperor's. My Sky Demon Country will officially begin war with the Fire Demon Country as a way to help you. Once you have reached the demonic spring in the capital of the Fire Demon Country, don't forget the chant I gave you!"
Wang Lin clasped his hands and reached toward the large man surrounded by purple crystals. He then took a step and directly left the Dragon Lake. In an instant he disappeared without a trace.
The reason he asked the Ancient Demon to look for Zhou Yi and allow him to go into the inheritance was because the Ancient Demon had already done a lot for him. If he were to act like he had no more wishes to fulfill, the Ancient Demon might suspect his sincerity.
These two requests were indeed things he wanted the Ancient Demon to help with and were not just things he had used to stall the Ancient Demon. This way, the Ancient Demon would have more patience!
Wang Lin appeared from the void 5,000 kilometers from Sky Demon City. He looked at the crystal in his hand before putting it inside his bag of holding.
"This person must have some relation with Sword Saint Ling Tianhou. There might be some use for him in the future!" Wang Lin's eyes revealed a pondering expression. He then stepped out once more and used the greater teleportation spell.
Wang Lin continued to teleport. His target was where Zi Shu died. He was unwilling to give it up so easily, so he had to check. After all, Ling Tianhou's sword energy was simply too precious!
The greater teleportation spell was a powerful spell. After casting it several times, Wang Lin entered the Fire Demon Country.
Zi Shu had died in a jungle, and most of the plants here had withered. There was debris and rotting corpses all over the place. After all, it had already been several months.
However, Zi Shu's corpse was still here!
There was a faint, golden glow coming from his corpse, and there were countless animals and birds around him. At first they came here to feast on the corpses, but as soon as they came close to Zi Shu's corpse, they instantly died.
On this day, a ray of blue light came from the distance. It was a middle-aged man who wore a blue robe. After he spread out his divine sense, he found Zi Shu's corpse on the ground. Then he immediately descended and arrived 100 feet from Zi Shu's corpse.
"This is the place. Just as I expected, this person must have a treasure on his body, or else there would be no way for this kind of sword energy to be released!" The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with joy as he stared at Zi Shu's corpse.
Zi Shu died at a very remote location. Unless one looked carefully, it would be very difficult to find this corpse. This middle-aged man's cultivation method allowed him to take over birds and beasts. Although his divine sense wasn't powerful, when he was cultivating, the bird he possessed found this corpse.
This person was startled and immediately noticed that something was off, so he quickly came looking for the corpse.
He looked at Zi Shu's body and took a deep breath. Then he slapped his bag of holding and a large number of black beetles came out. They immediately flew toward the corpse.
However, when these black beetle came within 100 feet of the corpse, the body immediately emitted bursts of golden light. After the flashes of golden light, all of the black beetles were exterminated.
The middle-aged man wasn't shocked and in fact was happy. He looked at Zi Shu's body and muttered, "There must be a treasure here!" He took a deep breath, but just as he was about to continue casting spells, a cold snort came from behind him.
The man was shocked. He suddenly jerked around and waved his right hand. A large number of black clouds flew out from his sleeves. These clouds were actually countless rice-sized insects. Then the black cloud pounced at the person behind him.
Using this opportunity, the man backed up a few steps and took a look, but then he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
There was a person wearing black armor standing there, and he was surrounded by waves of monstrous devilish energy. Those insects that he threw out immediately died after getting close to this person.
The middle-aged man's expression changed and he took a few steps back. Then he clasped his hands and asked, "Why is this friend preventing me from retrieving my junior apprentice brother's body?"
"Your junior apprentice brother?" The person in armor was Wang Lin. After he arrived via teleportation, he saw this person filled with joy while looking at Zi Shu's body.
"Of course he is my junior apprentice brother. We are disciples of the He Yun Sect. This person is called Zhou Qu, and my name is Tong Yun. The two of us came to the Demon Spirit Land together. One month ago Junior Apprentice Brother Zhou and I separated. I didn't think that he would be killed! If it wasn't for the fact that Junior Apprentice Brother carried a tracking object from the sect that releases a golden glow, I would not have been able to find him today." Tong Yun had a sad expression, and his demeanor revealed sadness.
Chapter 613 - Zishu's Sword Energy
This Tong Yun's reaction was really fast, and he even had a very sad expression when he said it. He didn't say much, but he was able to quickly cover up all the flaws in his lies.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have more or less been deceived by this person.
Wang Lin coldly looked at Tong Yun before withdrawing his gaze and walking forward. Tong Yun's expression slightly changed as he backed up while staring at Wang Lin and thinking, "The armor this person is wearing is simply too terrifying. I also can't see through his cultivation. I don't know if this person is a cultivator or a native of this Demon Spirit Land… However, no matter how powerful that person's cultivation is, once he enters 100 feet of that corpse, he will still die without a doubt! I won't make a fuss and I'll let him get killed by the golden light released by that treasure. Then I'll use my own methods to retrieve that treasure. At that moment, even that armor will be mine!"
Tong Yun sneered in his heart, but on the surface he revealed that he was angry. However, he didn't dare to stop Wang Lin.
Wang Lin took a step forward and entered within 100 feet of Zi Shu. The moment he entered within 100 feet, there was a golden flash from Zi Shu's body. This golden light stabbed toward Wang Lin like ten thousand golden needles.
Tong Yun revealed a look of joy along with a hint of pride. However, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and the pride in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
Wang Lin's eyes, which were hidden behind the helmet, released a cold gaze. He waved his hand and the golden light was swept away. Wang Lin had already experienced retrieving Ling Tianhou's sword energy once. Now he leisurely took another step and arrived beside Zi Shu.
His casual step was extremely terrifying in the eyes of Tong Yun, who was 100 feet away. He realised that this was going badly, so he turned around to escape. However, right at that moment, a cold snort entered his ears.
Tong Yun's body trembled and stopped. He had a feeling that if he was determined to run, he would without a doubt die. The shadow of death descended on his heart.
"You don't want your junior apprentice brother's corpse?" Wang Lin squatted but didn't turn around.
Tong Yun's face twitched and he quickly said, "If Senior likes it, then please take it. Junior will not have a single word of complaint. My junior apprentice brother had a hard life. If he can be of a use for someone like Senior after he died, it is his blessing. Junior believes that even if Junior Apprentice Brother was still alive, if he knew senior was interested, he would commit suicide without any hesitation. My junior apprentice brother is that warm-hearted of a person."
Right now he was completely terrified and spat out a string of lies.
Wang Lin looked at Zi Shu's corpse, then his gaze locked on to Zi Shu's forehead. The golden light was coming from between the eyebrows.
Wang Lin focused himself and decisively cut Zi Shu's head off. Then he grabbed the head and spat out a mouthful of origin flame.
The colorless flame wrapped around Zi Shu's head and started to burn and refine the head.
On the side, Tong Yun saw all of this and his heart trembled once more. He bitterly thought, "It's over, it's over… He must be a cultivator to have origin flame. However, he must be a very vicious cultivator that cultivates the demonic path and won't even let a dead person go! I'm unlucky enough to witness all of this. I hope this person doesn't kill me to silence me…"
Wang Lin looked at Zi Shu's head that was being refined. His eyes lit up and he spat out more origin flames. Soon, Zi Shu's head disappeared and only the golden light remained.
Wang Lin took a deep breath as he grabbed the golden light. Then he moved it next to his mouth and swallowed it.
Then his left foot picked up Zi Shu's body and kicked it toward Tong Yun. He said, "There is your junior apprentice brother's body back! Give him a proper burial."
Tong Yun's face was extremely pale. There was fear from just escaping a disaster as he quickly caught the corpse and said, "Yes, thank you, Senior. Thank you, Senior!" He quickly left with the corpse in his arms.
It wasn't until he was dozens of kilometers away that he let out a breath of relief and found that he was soaked in cold sweat. He felt great hatred as he looked at the headless corpse in his hands and threw it to the side. He then waved his right hand and a large, black cloud appeared. The black cloud covered the corpse, and in the blink of an eye the entire corpse, including the bones, was completely devoured.
"It was all this corpse's fault. I almost lost my life back there! Although that senior's cultivation level is high, his mind is a bit slow. He really thought that this person was my junior apprentice brother!" Tong Yun spat on the ground and felt lingering fear as he recalled what happened. He looked back before immediately departing the area.
He didn't know the fate that would have befallen him if Wang Lin really thought that he was Zi Shu's senior apprentice brother.
After swallowing Ling Tianhou's sword energy, Wang Lin's body slowly sank into the ground. He sat down in the lotus position underground and began to silently refine.
Without refining it for a period of time, it would be extremely difficult to use Ling Tianhou's sword energy as his own.
At the bottom of the earth, Wang Lin's divine sense spread out and found that there was another sword energy not far away. His eyes lit up, then his hand reached out underground and the sword energy in the distance immediately began to struggle. It then turned into a giant rat and roared at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin exclaimed and released his Ascendant cultivation. The large rat let out a miserable cry before being caught by Wang Lin.
What appeared before Wang Lin was a simple and ancient sword. There was a black rat on the sword that stared at Wang Lin with its black eyes.
"Zi Shu's sword!" Wang Lin revealed a smile. When he killed Zi Shu, his origin soul was in a state of madness, so he grabbed the sword and just threw it away. Thinking about it later, he felt very regretful. However, not only did he obtain Ling Tianhou's sword energy today, he was also able to find Zi Shu's sword.
"Sword Saint Ling Tianhou. If one day I, Wang Lin, take out all 12 swords, what kind of expression will you have…" Wang Lin grabbed the sword, imprinted his own divine sense on it, and threw it inside his bag of holding.
The twelve swords' treasured swords were not simple, and the twelve swords' cultivation levels weren't high enough to use the full power of these treasured swords. However, in Wang Lin's hands, that was a different story.
Wang Lin spent 1 month in the ground below where Zi Shu died before finally refining the sword energy. This time he completely refined the sword energy for his own use. This was different from Mo Yang's sword energy, where he was merely storing it and then just threw it outside to use it as a one-use item.
After refining Zi Shu's sword energy, Wang Lin could send it out and retrieve it at his own will. He could even split the sword energy into 10 different sword energies with the power equally dispersed. Of course, he could combine them again to have the unimaginable power of a ray of sword energy from Ling Tianhou!
As a result, this sword energy became a lot more flexible. Compared to before this was a difference between heaven and earth. Even among the twelve swords, most of them could only use it like a one time item. They didn't have the ability to send it out and retrieve it as they wished.
Wang Lin was able to do this was because his cultivation had reached the early stage of Ascendant. Also, to make it easier for his disciples to use, when Ling Tianhou gifted them the sword energies, he wiped his own divine sense off of them. That made them items without any owner.
Just by doing this, Ling Tianhou protected his disciples far more than the All-Seer did! He would give his disciples a ray of powerful sword energy, while the All-Seer only gave his disciples something that barely qualified as a life-saving treasure.
Ling Tianhou had arranged for Greed to go into the Demon Spirit Land to protect his disciples, but the All-Seer would not do this.
This had a lot to do with their respective daos. Ling Tianhou's dao was the dao of tyranny. This made it so he was extremely protective of his own people; outsiders were not allowed to mess with his people!
No outsiders were allowed to bully the disciples of the Da Lou Sword Sect. It was exactly because of this that even though the Da Lou Sword Sect had a very bad name, all of the disciples still looked up to Sword Saint Ling Tianhou with extreme respect. However, it was because of this that there weren't many extremely strong cultivators in the sect. The reason was that it was very difficult to become truly powerful under this kind of protection!
On the opposite end was the Heavenly Fate Sect. The All-Seer's dao was following the will of the heavens. He was a typical follow the heavens type of cultivator. The life and death of his disciples were decided by heavens, their strength decided by fate.
Although the sect was like this, it caused the Heavenly Fate Sect to have many experts. Just those seven true disciples were all powerful. That's not even mentioning the countless people hidden within the sect that had experienced countless life and death situations.
A big event happened in the Demon Spirit Land during the month Wang Lin spent cultivating underground. This matter made almost every single foreign cultivator leave their respective base and rush toward the Fire Demon Country and Sky Demon Country!
The Sky Demon Country mobilized 30 million soldiers and officially declared war on the Fire Demon Country!
Although battles in the Demon Spirit Land were common, they were all small battles. All out wars between two countries were extremely rare.
Even with the appearance of cultivators every 5,000 years, it would only cause a certain amount of war between the nine countries. Rarely would it create a life and death contest between two countries like this!
This was because once the balance between the nine countries was broken, it would create an unimaginable chain reaction.
However, for cultivators, this was a godsent opportunity. This was the fastest way to obtain merit!
The Sky Demon Country's eight commander-in-chiefs and eight vice commander-in-chiefs were all deployed. Among the two new vice commander-in-chiefs, there was Mo Lihai and the ranked one demon general, Mo Fei.
In addition to all of this, the Sky Demon Country's Demon Emperor was personally leading the army!
The entire army was split into three armies. They were going to slaughter their way into the Fire Demon Country in three different directions and then meet outside the capital of the Fire Demon Country!
The day Wang Lin left the underground was the day the Sky Demon Country's army entered the territory of the Fire Demon Country!
Just as he appeared from underground, Wang Lin could feel a thick killing intent in the air. This killing intent wasn't from just one person but from tens of millions of people. Under this killing intent even the sky seemed to dim.
The white clouds in the sky were replaced by dark clouds and then rain began to fall.
Wang Lin raised his head to looked at the sky. He pondered and muttered, "The Ancient Demon sure is decisive. Perhaps after these countless years his patience was at its limit. If that is the case, I will have to be more careful…
"However, this battle does not have much relation to me. The most important thing right now is to kill the remaining ten disciples of the Sword Saint and take their sword energies. Then I need to refine countless strands of slaughter energy. After that I will have the ability to have a foothold even in this Demon Spirit Land!
"I also need to continue to explore that cave. Perhaps there will be even more treasures!" Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he took a step and disappeared without a trace.
"There were two disciples of the Sword Saint beside that Mo Fei back then. They are my targets. However, that Mo Fei is a bit strange… The black-haired man in the prison looked very similar to him. I'm afraid there is something strange behind all of this…" Wang Lin pondered as he flew.
Chapter 614 - The Third Ray of Sword Energy
A cloud of dust appeared over the horizon. Even rain wouldn't be able to suppress this dust cloud in a short period of time. Countess armored demon soldiers rushed through the cloud of dust on horses, and they all emitted thick killing intent.
An antique tower floated above the demon soldiers and moved along with the army.
There were demon soldiers with powerful gazes surrounding this tower!
At this moment a ray of light came from the horizon and charged directly at the large army. Before the ray of light closed in, a person walked out from the tower. This person's clothes looked ordinary, but he gave off a sense of majesty.
There was a smile on his face as he looked at the light coming in from the distance and smiled. "Brother Wang, how are you!"
The ray of light turned into Wang Lin outside the tower. He looked at the person who came out of the tower and wasn't surprised at all. Instead he said, "Wang Lin greets the Demon Emperor!"
This person was the young man who drank with Wang Lin through the night. Back then Wang Lin wasn't able to see any demonic spiritual energy from this person, but he had a faint feeling that this person was not normal.
When he saw this person again as an Ascendant cultivator, he was able to see some clues. There was a fist-sized demon crystal in this person's dantian. Although this demon crystal looked very normal and didn't give off any hint of demonic spiritual energy, this made Wang Lin pay attention attention to it.
As Wang Lin was carefully examining this person, the person who walked out of the tower was also examining Wang Lin. He smiled. "Brother Wang doesn't need to be so polite; you are the messenger the ancestor personally appointed. Your position is equal to mine, so you can just call me by my name, Gu Yundun. However, I'm a bit confused; how did you know I was the Demon Emperor?"
Wang Lin faintly smiled and said, "I only had my suspicions before. It was only after seeing brother Gu today that I was sure." After Wang Lin finished speaking, a divine sense continued to beg in Wang Lin's mind.
"Master, the Master that I, Xu Liguo, most respect! Do you have the heart to allow two lovers destined to be paired in life and death only to pass by one another when they are only separated by several dozen feet… Master, I haven't seen that little beauty in 10 years, I…" Wang Lin frowned as he slapped his bag of holding and Xu Liguo immediately flew out.
This time he was smart. He was afraid of angering Wang Lin, so he didn't bring the celestial sword but came out by himself.
The moment he appeared, he took his original form and began to repeatedly examining the Demon Emperor. After looking for a long time, he still couldn't find the Emperor's sword. He revealed a helpless expression and sighed. "Could it really be that the little beauty and I are not destined to be together? We haven't see each other in 10 years, and just like this a lifetime will pass…"
It was rare for Xu Liguo to speak so elegantly, but in Wang Lin's ears, it was still embarrassing. He clasped his hands at the Demon Emperor and said, "Brother Gu, this is my sword spirit. He had some… some misunderstanding with your sword spirit…"
The Demon Emperor looked at Xu Liguo and said, "No problem. I already know of the sword spirit that my niece has been hating for the past 10 years."
As he spoke, his hand reached at the void and a series of crackling sounds came from the space before him. Space itself split open and the Demon Emperor's sword flew out.
"It's you!" The moment the sword appeared, it immediately trembled and released a sword hymn. Then the sword slashed at Xu Liguo and a ray of sword energy flew out.
The helplessness in his eyes disappeared immediately. Luckily, he knew that the little beauty's owner was right there, so he suppressed the lust in his eyes. He revealed a love sick expression and said to the Emperor's sword, "My dear, we haven't seen each other in 10 years. Call your grandpa Xu… Uh, I missed you." As he spoke, he quickly dodged the sword energy.

He came out as his spirit, so he had some difficulties dodging the sword energy.
Wang Lin's eyes became cold. Although Xu Liguo was only a sword spirit, he was still his property. He could treat Xu Liguo however he liked, but others couldn't!
When he saw that the Emperor's sword was about to attack again and the Demon Emperor wasn't doing anything to stop her, Wang Lin's expression sank. He waved his hand, causing a gust of strange wind to flow at the Emperor's sword. This caused the sword energy to tremble.
"This aura… It's you! You are that despicable food! Good, it looks like you two are together!" The figure of the young girl appeared above the sword. She gave Wang Lin and Xu Liguo a vicious stare before activating the Emperor's sword without any hesitation. In an instant the surroundings were filled with celestial spiritual energy and it charged toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin frowned slightly and let out a cold snort. Now that he was at the Ascendant stage, he was far stronger than back when he was at the late stage of Soul Transformation. Back then he indeed dreaded the Emperor's sword, but now why would he fear a mere sword!
The cold snort caused all of the sword energy to collapse. The Emperor's sword was about to attack a gain, but the Demon Emperor reached out and grabbed it.
Demon Emperor Gu Yundun smiled and said, "Brother Wang, my niece is mischievous, and this was embarrassing. However, although she is a sword spirit, she isn't a natural one. She is the daughter of a good friend of mine. Due to certain circumstances, she was changed into a sword spirit!" He casually glanced at Xu Liguo. However, this glance caused Xu Liguo to tremble as if he was about to collapse.
Wang Lin's pupils shrank an unnoticeable amount. At that moment, the demon crystal inside the Demon Emperor suddenly activated. The demonic spiritual energy released wasn't any weaker than a late stage Ascendant cultivator!
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy as grabbed Xu Liguo and threw him inside the bag of holding. Then Wang Lin clasped his hands. "That was embarrassing, Brother Gu. I came here to ask you where Demon General Mo Fei is!"
The Demon Emperor let out a sigh inside his heart. Originally he didn't want to get into such an awkward relationship with Wang Lin, but he couldn't stand people bullying Shuang Er.
Although Wang Lin's sword spirit hid it very well, he could easily see the lust in the sword spirit's eyes. The Demon Emperor secretly let out a sigh and said, "Brother Wang, Mo Fei has already become a vice commander-in-chief. He is with the Heaven Commander-in-Chief. Together they are leading the left army and should have arrived the Fire Demon Country's Songtao city."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and said, "I have already announced the fact that Brother Wang has become the Ancestor's messenger. This will make things easier for Brother Wang. In addition, you hold my jade, so it is like I'm personally there. If there is anyone who disrespects you, you can order the Heaven Commander-in-Chief to kill them!" With that he threw a white jade at Wang Lin.
There was a very unique demonic aura inside the jade. It was extremely difficult to imitate it.
Wang Lin's expression remained the same. After he accepted the jade he said, "Many thanks!" With that he clasped his hands, took a step, and disappeared.
Gu Yundun looked at where Wang Lin disappeared to and shook his head. "Wang Lin, when that zither music entered my ears, I knew we were similar people. I don't want to be on bad terms with you, so I gave you that jade as a sign of good faith. I hope you understand."
While they teleported, Xu Liguo's voice entered Wang Lin's origin soul.
"Master, that little beauty…"
Wang Lin calmly said, "Don't mention this again!" He squeezed the jade in his hand and put it inside his bag. With how cunning Wang Lin was, he naturally understood the Demon Emperor's intent.
The left army of the Sky Demon Country had 10 million demon soldiers. The earth shook as the soldiers passed by as if there were countless explosives going off. The Heaven, Eternity, and Desolate Commander-in-Chiefs were leading the army. The Hong, Mystery, and Yellow Vice Commander-in-Chiefs were there to help manage the army. They led the 10 million demon soldiers straight toward the Fire Demon Country's Songtao city.
At this moment the Heaven, Eternity, and Desolate Commander-in-Chiefs were all riding different demonic beasts inside the army.
The three of them didn't talk to each other. There was a powerful killing aura surrounding the area as the Sky Demon Country's army closed in on Songtao city.
In the right side of the large army, Vice Commander-in-Chief Mo Fei rode on a female unicorn-like demonic beast. His eyes were completely calm and there was a person standing on the tail of his female unicorn. This person was middle-aged and his eyes were closed. There was a giant sword on his back and he gave of the air of a celestial.
All of a sudden a thundering explosion came from the horizon. This series of thunderous rumbles seemed to want to suppress the entire 10 million demon soldier army. Within the thunderous rumble a person suddenly appeared.
This person was wearing a black armor and looked like a devil god descending. He was surrounded by devilish energy.
His appearance caught the attention of many people.
He was Wang Lin. In the blink of an eye, his eyes became cold. Then he took a step and charged toward the army like a meteor.
He didn't speak at all. As he charged toward the army, his divine sense spread out and immediately locked onto Mo Fei, who was in the right side of the army. Mo Fei's expression was indifferent as he looked at Wang Lin.
The middle-aged man's eyes, which had been closed this whole time, slowly opened. His eyes released a profound light.
Before people realized it, Wang Lin closed in followed by thunderous roars. He flew by countless demon soldiers. Right now beside the Heaven Commander-in-Chief, the other two Commander-in-Chiefs' eyes lit up.
The killing intent from the 10 million demon soldiers raged in the sky, but Wang Lin completely ignored it. Killing required the right momentum and for him to act before the other even had time to react. Otherwise, if he were to first announce his identity, then take out the Demon Emperor's jade, and then try to kill, he would have lost the opportunity to strike first. This would give the Da Lou Sword Sect disciple a chance to use Ling Tianhou's sword energy.
"I have orders from the Demon Emperor to capture and kill Vice Commander-in-Chief Mo Fei. The rest of you, make way!" Wang Lin let out a shout and tossed the Demon Emperor's jade toward the two Commander-in-Chiefs that were about to act.
All of this happened in an instant. The underworld river swept by and Wang Lin teleported away. Right before he disappeared, he pointed his right index finger forward!
Finger of Death!
The Finger of Death shot out like a bolt of lightning toward Mo Fei. Mo Fei's expression was calm as he raised his right hand. The expression of the middle-aged man behind him became serious. The middle-aged man's hand moved and his large sword flew out. A vicious boar appeared on the sword.
The finger of death was extremely fast, but as it closed in on Mo Fei, it suddenly collapsed and disappeared without a trace. This shocked Mo Fei, but his expression immediately changed as demonic spiritual energy erupted from his body and surrounded him.
As for the middle-aged man, he was also shocked!
Just this moment of shock meant death!
Wang Lin's figure suddenly appeared next to the middle-aged man. His finger pointed at the man. All of the devilish energy from his armor gathered together to form a devilish flame.
This finger was Wang Lin's peak; it was impossible to resist! The middle-aged man's expression changed greatly. With a moment of life or death before him, he was prepared to use Ling Tianhou's sword energy without any hesitation. However, at this moment, the underworld river suddenly rose up from the ground. It flew into the sky and turned into the reincarnation cycle, then an invisible force descended. It was as if this underworld river was the only thing that existed in this world right now. Everything paused for a moment because of it.
During this pause, just as the golden light between the middle-aged man's eyebrows began to flash, Wang Lin's finger landed.
The finger landed and the person died!
After cutting of his head off, Wang Lin's body flickered. He grabbed the large sword and left.
His actions were smooth, clean, and tidy!
Chapter 615 - Whereabouts of Greed
The middle-aged man's name was Hai Zhu. At the moment Wang Lin cut off his head, Wang Lin sealed his origin soul. With Wang Lin's Ascendant stage cultivation, it was effortless to seal the origin soul of a late stage Soul Transformation cultivator!
Wang Lin took the head and left. He was like a spring breeze that disappeared in the blink of an eye. As for the Emperor's jade, he didn't take it back because it was useless to him.
However, it was something the Demon Emperor gave as a sign of good faith. If he hadn't accepted it, he would have appeared a bit too domineering.
As he rushed away, he didn't turn around to look at the 10 million demon soldiers at all. He stepped into the air and disappeared.
Wang Lin refined Hai Zhu's head and devoured the sword energy. As for Hai Zhu's origin soul, Wang Lin used the soul search spell. After Wang Lin obtained the information he wanted, Hai Zhu's origin soul almost collapsed. Wang Lin threw Hai Zhu's origin soul into the soul flag to be used as a primary soul.
"Not only do the people of the Da Lou Sword Sect in the Demon Spirit Land all have a ray of Ling Tianhou's sword energy, there is also someone called Greed secretly protecting them… Greed… This name is very special, so I shouldn't have heard of him. The appearance of this Greed from Hai Zhu's memory is somewhat familiar, but I'm sure I have never seen this person before." Wang Lin pondered as he flew.
"Greed… According to Hai Zhu's memory, this person's cultivation has already surpassed the Ascendant stage and has reached the stage of Illusory Yin… Only one step below Situ Nan's Corporeal Yang stage…" Wang Lin's eyebrows were locked. However, he suddenly stopped flying and remained motionless in the sky.
"Situ Nan!" Wang Lin took a deep breath and his right hand touch his bag of holding. A jade flew out of his bag and he grabbed it. After checking it with his divine sense, his expression became ugly.
If he hadn't thought of Situ Nan, he wouldn't have remembered that Situ Nan gave him a jade. There were several images inside this jade. The people recorded in the jade were the people that forced Situ Nan to abandon his body.
Originally, when Situ Nan gave Wang Lin the jade, he didn't expect Wang Lin to actually encounter them. He just wanted Wang Lin to remember these people and to not provoke them.
Wang Lin also didn't think he would meet one of them. Also, it was extremely easy for cultivators to change their appearance. Finding someone with just a few pictures was no less difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
"If this Greed is indeed Situ Nan's enemy, then he must know about the heaven defying bead…" Wang Lin touched the spot between his eyebrows. This heaven defying bead was Wang Lin's biggest secret. It has been over 700 years since he obtained it, and the properties of the heaven defying bead were still extremely strange.
Back then only some rain was able to complete the rain element. However, it became much more difficult later on.
Now only the metal element wasn't complete. However, Wang Lin had a feeling that the difficulty for completing the last element had reached a terrifying degree.
If he could completely separate the heaven defying bead from his body, Wang Lin wouldn't have to worry. If he was really forced into a moment of life and death, he would calmly make a choice.
However, right now the bead had already fused with his origin soul, so there was no way to separate it from him. The only method was to extract his origin soul and refine it like when he refined Ling Tianhou's sword energy. This was the only way to refine the heaven defying bead from his origin soul.
Wang Lin's eyebrows furrowed hard.
"Where did the heaven defying bead come from… Why does the Cultivation Alliance care so much about this bead… This heaven defying bead has been with me for hundreds of years. Aside from the fact that time slows down inside it, there is almost no other ability. Even if you were to hide inside, if you meet a powerful cultivator, you won't be able to run and will still be found.
"No matter how you look at it, this bead is just an ordinary item. Even though it can slow down time, it is only useful to low level cultivators. For high level cultivators, a large amount of celestial jades is much more attractive."
Wang Lin let out a sigh. Then his eyes looked into the distance like sharp blades and he muttered to himself, "There were originally five Da Lou Sword Sect Disciples, with Chen Long as the leader. After Mo Yang's death, although they weren't sure, they became suspicious of me. With how the Da Lou Sword Sect normally acts, they should have sent someone to inquire about this, but they didn't act.
"According to this Hai Zhu's memories, this Greed was in the Fire Demon Country back then. He seems to have found some secret there. After those 10 years, Hai Zhu was the only one left in the Sky Demon Country. The other three have gone to the Fire Demon Country to meet with Greed…
"That's right, that Zi Shu must have also gone to meet with them. However, on the way, he had killing intent towards me, so he was killed by me."
"What exactly did this Greed find…" Wang Lin's eyes lit up.
"Unfortunately, thanks to Greed, I lost the chance to continue gathering Ling Tianhou's sword energy. However, I can't rush this matter either." Wang Lin sneered as he used greater teleportation to teleport away.
"This war before me is the best chance for me to collect slaughter energy, so I can't let it go. However, I only have the power of one person. This thing… Yes, I should do it like this!" Wang Lin's eyes became cold and then he disappeared.
Wang Lin didn't participate in the battle in the Fire Demon Country. He teleported for several days and arrived back at the Soul Refining Tribe inside the Sky Demon Country. After 10 years of development, the Soul Refining Tribe had taken proper form. It had become one of the four biggest tribes in the wilderness.
Wang Lin's return caused the entire tribe to become very excited. Although many of the tribe members hadn't seen Wang Lin, through word of mouth, Wang Lin had become something akin to the Ancient Demon. They all worshiped him in their hearts.
That valley was the holy land in their hearts!
After Wang Lin returned, he quickly called Thirteen and Ouyang Hua to pick up ten thousand tribe members. Wang Lin sent a strand of slaughter energy to each of those tribe members. Every time these tribe members killed someone, the vitality of the person they killed would be absorbed into that strand of slaughter energy.
The more these ten thousand people killed, the stronger the slaughter energy in their bodies would become. It could even turn into life seals to protect these ten thousand people in moments of crisis.
Then these ten thousand people were sent into the battle in the Fire Demon Country. Wang Lin didn't let them join the Sky Demon Country but had them operate on their own. Wang Lin only had one order for them, and that was to continue to kill in order to nourish the slaughter energy inside them.
Ten thousand people weren't considered much in a battle where tens of millions of demon soldiers were involved. Wang Lin understood this well, and that was why he also sent out Ouyang Hua and Thirteen. He gifted them treasures and gave them three months to lead the rest of the tribe members to devour the remaining three tribes!
He spent this time inside the valley and continued to engrave the imprint on the scattered devil inside his body. He used the remaining time to repair the restriction flag.
Three months quickly passed by. With the treasures Wang Lin gave Thirteen and Ouyang Hua, they were able to devour the remaining three tribes one by one. A large amount of foreign tribe members were forced to drink the memory-wiping soup and become members of the Soul Refining Tribe.
For these new tribe members who had never practiced the soul refining spell, Wang Lin took out the one-billion-soul soul flag, shook it, and a large amount of soul fragments flew out. Under Wang Lin's control, the soul fragments flew into the tribe members' bodies. However, rather than harming them, the soul fragments coexisted with them.
Then Wang Lin spread out his slaughter energy and fused it into these people. Just like this, the second wave of thirty thousand people was sent into the Fire Demon Country!
There were still a lot of people left in the Soul Refining Tribe. Wang Lin used the greater teleportation spell many times to move everyone out of the wilderness. The location he picked was the ancient battleground where the scattered devil used to live.
Wang Lin used a spell to form a tall tower where the devil tower used to be. Then he sat in the lotus position within. As for the tribe members, they began their new lives here.
A large amount of simple houses were built. Soon, a new tribe was formed here!
In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed!
Wang Lin didn't take a single step outside the tower in these 10 years.
After the three large armies of the Sky Demon Country slaughtered their way into the Fire Demon Country, the Fire Demon Country naturally had their ways of dealing with it. They launched their counter attack and began an endless slaughter across many battlefields.
The ten years of war was merely the beginning.
During these ten years, waves of Soul Refining Tribe members with Wang Lin's slaughter energy joined the battle. At the same time, the Soul Refining Tribe continued to grow. The savage tribes in the Fire Demon Country were now their targets.
Wang Lin seemed to have forgotten the battle in the Fire Demon Country. He spent 10 years cultivating inside the tower and engraving his imprint on the scattered devil. He was preparing! He was preparing to make himself even stronger before the 100 year time limit was up! This was the only way for him to complete the agreement between him and the Ancient Demon.
The endless cultivation during these ten years caused Wang Lin's early stage Ascendant cultivation to become even more stable.
He could feel that although some of the slaughter energy he sent out disappeared, even more was coming in each day. As for the tribe members with slaughter energy, the more they killed, the stronger their slaughter energy became. This ensured their safety and made them even stronger!
To this day he had sent out a total of 100,000 strands of slaughter energy inside 100,000 tribe members. These 100,000 strands of slaughter energy continued to grow stronger each day.
"Using slaughter to nourish the slaughter energy. I would like to see how many strands of slaughter energy will be created once this war ends!" Inside the tower, Wang Lin opened his eyes. His eyes glowed like lightning as a powerful force spread out from the tower.
There was an empty area of 5 kilometers in radius around the tower. Beyond that was an endless amount of buildings. Looking from a distance, these building stretched out for hundreds of kilometers!
This was the new Soul Refining Tribe.
Every month tribe members would return with captives of the tribe members of the Fire Demon Country. Every month the Soul Refining Tribe was growing bigger!
Wang Lin withdrew his gaze. He slapped his bag of holding and the restriction ball sealing Yao Xixue flew out. He squeezed his right hand and the ball shattered. Then Yao Xixue's figure appeared inside the tower.
Wang Lin's expression was indifferent as he slowly asked, "Have you made your decision?"
Yao Xixue was no longer naked; she was now wearing a blue robe. After she appeared, her beautiful eyes stared at Wang Lin as she clenched her teeth and said, "What exactly are you thinking? In the past ten years I have already told you everything. What exactly do you want!?"
