This was the first thought that appeared in Wang Lin's mind when he looked at the black statue. "This thing is ominous!"
His right index finger was as fast as lightning as it shot toward the spot between the black statue's eyebrows. At this moment, the black statue's eyes released a flash of black light and unexpectedly formed a strange rune between its eyebrows.
This rune released a black mist that contained a mysterious force that entered the rune. When Wang Lin's right hand landed, it immediately blocked before him.
Wang Lin's right index finger touched the rune without any hesitation. A ripple immediately appeared at the point of contact. The moment the ripple appeared, the mysterious force that entered Wang Lin's origin soul seemed to awaken. It turned into black ink and instantly surrounded Wang Lin's origin soul.
Wang Lin's eyes became cold. He had long felt that this black statue was strange. Now that he tested it, it was indeed as he expected. He let out a cold snort and the Ancient God Leather Armor on his origin soul released bursts of green light!
At the same time, his ancient thunder dragon origin soul let out a muffled roar. As it roared, countless bolts of Thunder appeared in the sky above the valley Wang Lin was in.
It wasn't just the valley. At this moment, the entire sky above the Fire Demon Country was filled with endless roars of Thunder.
This sudden change caused the people of the Soul Refining Tribe in the Fire Demon Country to raise their heads in confusion.
As the Thunder echoed across the world, not only the Fire Demon Country, but the surrounding countries were also covered in Thunder. Countless bolts of Thunder descended from the sky, giving off the might of Thunder.
In almost an instant, more than half of the Demon Spirit Land was covered in Thunder. This shocking change caused the natives of the Demon Spirit Land to panic.
Even the Daemon Generals and Daemon Commanders revealed fear in their eyes as they stared at the sky. They could vaguely sense that the lightning that filled the sky was not natural. It should have been caused by an ability!
Although all of this sounds long, it only took a few breaths of time. As Wang Lin's ancient thunder dragon origin soul roared, the thunder that covered more than half of the Demon Spirit Land moved like countless silver snakes toward the valley at the capital of the Fire Demon Country.
Thunder flashed and caused a heaven-shaking rumble. It was as if the heavens were angry and were sending down punishment on the valley. If one looked from above, they would see the countless bolts of Thunder gather and enter Wang Lin's body!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
As the bolts of Thunder entered Wang Lin's body, Wang Lin's ancient thunder dragon origin soul roared. Large amounts of thunder moved through his origin soul as he began a life and death battle with the black ink!
Although the black ink was tenacious, it was on the verge of collapse under the endless Thunder. After all, not much of the mysterious force that formed the black ink had entered Wang Lin's origin soul. Due to Wang Lin's vigilance, the moment this mysterious force entered his origin soul, Wang Lin had immediately surrounded it with his origin soul.
The black ink rapidly retreated until it condensed into a dot and was about to leave Wang Lin's origin soul. However, at this moment, the Ancient God Leather Armor released a flash of green light that seemed to form a seal that completely blocked off all paths of retreat!
The Primordial Thunder Dragon Yuan Soul absorbed all of the thunderforce in the world and turned it into an attack that landed on the black dot. The black dot immediately collapsed and dissipated.
All of this happened within Wang Lin's body in an instant. Wang Lin's eyes became cold and he mercilessly pointed with his right index finger. The rune that was blocking him from approaching collapsed and turned into a shockwave that scattered in all directions.
This allowed Wang Lin's finger to finally press down between the eyebrows of the black statue.
When Wang Lin's finger touched the statue, he didn't hesitate to send his peak mid stage Nirvana Scryer cultivation into the statue like a flood.
"I want to see what exactly this is!"
When Wang Lin's cultivation and divine sense entered the statue, he felt a shockwave in his origin soul. What appeared before his divine sense was a strange place.
This place was filled with white fog, making it look like a sea of fog. Wang Lin immediately recognized this white fog as the aura that the Soul Refining Tribe members had been worshipping for hundreds of years.
As he let out a cold snort, Wang Lin's divine sense spread out and filled this strange place. His eyes narrowed and his divine sense locked onto something ahead.
His cultivation and divine sense fused to form an illusion of Wang Lin. With a step, he arrived at the place his divine sense had locked onto. This was the center of this place. If one were to connect to the statue outside, this would be the dantian of the statue.
The fog before Wang Lin was even thicker, and he could vaguely see a blurry figure sitting there.
Although this figure was blurry, Wang Lin immediately saw that this person looked exactly the same as him!
Aside from the two horns on his head!
The moment he saw the two horns, Wang Lin's eyes lit up.
"Ancient Demon!"
The ancient demon that looked exactly like Wang Lin still had his eyes closed and was motionless. The white fog around him would occasionally split off and enter his body.
Wang Lin's expression was a bit strange. Aside from the two horns, this ancient demon was almost exactly the same as him. Even the cold and arrogant aura was the same. There was even a hint of loneliness and sorrow from more than 1,000 years of cultivation. Even Wang Lin couldn't tell the difference.
"What the hell is going on!?"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he stared at the ancient demon that looked exactly like him. After pondering a bit, he waved his right hand and a strange wind blew away all the fog around the ancient demon.
As he slowly walked closer, Wang Lin gradually understood some of the key points.
The ancient gods could use their god slaves to absorb origin energy from the heavens and earth to make themselves stronger. Then the ancient demons that were also part of the Ancient clan must have similar methods.
It was obvious that the entire Demon Spirit Land was a place where the ancient demons absorbed origin energy. According to what Ancient Demon Bei Lou said, he was split into nine parts and formed the nine demon spirit countries!
Under the teachings of the Ancient Demon for tens of thousands of years, the people of the Nine Counties gradually changed their bodies and learned spells, gradually forming the Nine Counties of Demon Spirits!
Every ancient demon spirit was a top existence in their country. They used the people of the demon spirit countries to absorb demonic energy to slowly heal themselves. Then they would be able to break through their limits and devour other demon spirits. Finally, the nine demon spirits would fuse into one and become a real ancient demon!
When Wang Lin arrived and cooperated with Ancient Demon Bei Lou, it caused a heaven-shaking change that would normally take countless years to complete!
With Wang Lin's help, Ancient Demon Bei Lou left his demon country and successfully devoured one of the nine demon spirits, the Fire Demon!
Because of this, Bei Lou became the strongest out of the remaining eight demons. He also had the ability to leave the county he was in!
If nothing unexpected happens, once he digests the Fire Demon and completes the fusion, he will devour the other seven demons one by one until he becomes a real ancient demon!
Wang Lin didn't know if Bei Lou succeeded or not, but after seeing this ancient demon that looked exactly like him, he understood that Bei Lou didn't succeed completely!
With Wang Lin's current 5-star royal ancient god cultivation, he naturally saw that this ancient demon that looked exactly like him wasn't complete. It was even weaker than one of the nine demon spirits.
To be more accurate, this ancient demon before him was only a remnant!
"A remnant ancient demon spirit that also knows how to absorb demonic energy from the people of the demon spirit countries to heal …" Wang Lin sneered. At this moment, he understood that the white aura coming from the heads of the Soul Refining Tribe members that worshipped the statues was demonic energy!
"Everyone in the Soul Refining Tribe was born in the Demon Spirit Land …" When he saw the ancient demon, Wang Lin understood some of the reasons.
While pondering, Wang Lin took a step forward and arrived before the ancient demon that looked exactly like him. The ancient demon's eyes were still closed and showed no signs of awakening.
Wang Lin didn't hesitate to raise his right hand and press down on the ancient demon's head. His divine sense entered the ancient demon's body and began searching its memories.
He saw the blue sky in the Cloud Demon Country of the Demon Spirit Land. The originally sunny sky suddenly darkened and a storm gathered. As the clouds changed color, a blood-colored figure descended from the sky toward the royal nine-story Cloud Demon Tower in the capital of the Cloud Demon Country.
A sharp scream came from the tower, and there was a hint of disbelief in the voice.
"The nine spirits need to fuse once more. Only the rebirth of an ancient demon can complete the regret of the past. Cloud Demon, you and I were originally one, but we have been separated for far too long. Today, we need to fuse once more!
"The name of the ancient demon will still belong to me, Bei Lou!"
As the demonic voice came from the blood shadow, the blood shadow charged into the Cloud Demon Tower at an extremely fast speed.
Thunderous rumbles echoed across the world, causing all the people in the Demon Spirit Land to panic. However, a moment later, the rumbles disappeared, but the price for this was the Cloud Demon Tower collapsing!
As the tower collapsed, a blurry demonic shadow flew out. However, it didn't get far before it was surrounded by a blood light. Eventually, it fused with the blood light and turned into Bei Lou.
"After so many years, one of the nine spirits, the Cloud Demon, hasn't advanced an inch. What a waste!
What a disgrace to the name of my ancient demon! "Bei Lou let out a cold snort and disappeared.
The Cloud Demon Country collapsed and no more Demon Spirits were left!
However, on the third day after Bei Lou left, an extremely weak shadow flew out from the ruins of the Cloud Demon Tower in the capital of the Cloud Demon Country. It was filled with hatred and confusion as it carefully flew into the distance.
