This complicated feeling was not caused by the matter with Yao Xixue. In fact, during the thirteen hundred years that Wang Lin had been cultivating Dao, as his cultivation base had increased, as his understanding of Heaven and Earth had deepened, and as he had accumulated more and more experiences, he had gradually looked back on the thirteen hundred years of slaughter.
It was just that Yao Xixue had opened a gap in his thousand years of slaughter.
It was just like how Wang Lin had gotten drunk with Situ Nan that day. He didn't dare to look back and wonder if cultivating Dao for a lifetime had been worth it. Cultivating Dao was cultivating Dao, but the price of cultivating Dao was that his hands were stained with blood. During the thirteen hundred years, far too many people had died at his hands.
In fact, not even Wang Lin could remember exactly how many people he had killed.
Killing people was not something that made people happy. To Wang Lin, the thousand years of slaughter had left him deeply exhausted.
However, in the cruel Cultivation world, if you didn't kill, if you didn't fight back, you would lose your life. Between killing and being killed, there was no room for struggle.
There was no struggle!
Either live, or die. You only had one choice.
"It's fine if you treated me this way, but you even killed my father. Wang Lin, is there such a deep hatred between me, Yao Xixue, and you? In the Cultivation world, scheming against each other is the most common thing. I, Yao Xixue, was in the wrong first, but do I deserve to die??"
Yao Xixue stared at Wang Lin, the hatred in her eyes like flames that seemed capable of burning the Heavens and Earth. Her voice was filled with bitterness.
Wang Lin was silent as he looked out over the sea, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
"You sealed me for hundreds of years, and during those years, you used despicable methods to make it impossible for me to calm down. I can ignore all of that. After all, I was in the wrong first. But you shouldn't have, shouldn't have killed my father!!" In addition to the boundless hatred in Yao Xixue's eyes, there were also sparkling tears.
Wang Lin sighed. A thousand years of cultivation had made his heart as hard as stone. However, he was still a human and not a demon.
He had his reasons and his way of doing things.
If people don't offend me, I won't offend them!
Yao Xixue's plan had crossed Wang Lin's bottom line. Therefore, he had to kill this woman!
He was worried about his father and the Blood Soul Pill, so he wanted to ban it!
When his father appeared, he resisted for the sake of survival. Either the Blood Ancestor died, or he, Wang Lin, died!
He had no choice!
From Wang Lin's point of view, he wasn't wrong!
However, when it came to Yao Xixue, she had plotted against Wang Lin all those years ago, and had also paid the price of being sealed for hundreds of years. As she had said, although she hated him, she now knew that they owed each other nothing.
It was just that her father had died. Facing the person who had killed her father, was she supposed to reason things out and analyze what was right and what was wrong? This was something she could not do. As a son, no matter what reason it was, she had to take revenge.
From Yao Xixue's point of view, she wasn't wrong either.
"All of this is Karma …. Yesterday's Cause, today's Karma. Step by step, neither she nor I can control or dictate …. If she hadn't plotted against me all those years ago, if I hadn't feared the Blood Ancestor, then the Karma wouldn't have happened.
"Once the Karma is born, it will not be extinguished. Instead, it will gradually expand. For hundreds of years, I was caught up in the Karma. It's just like how the price of a lie is more lies.
"Back then, I didn't understand Karma, so I didn't know that I had become a part of it.
"Later, the Blood Ancestor chased me. I thought it was because of the Karma, but now it seems that the Blood Ancestor is not the Karma, but the Karma!
"The true Karma doesn't lie with the Blood Ancestor, nor does it lie with Yao Xixue's words. It lies with my Dao heart!" Enlightenment shone in Wang Lin's eyes.
"My Karma Domain has never been able to reach great success. My progress has been slow, and no matter how much I gain enlightenment, I can't truly understand what Karma is …. Back then, I vaguely understood that if I wanted to reach great success with Karma, I had to unravel all of my Karma. Now it seems that my enlightenment back then was only a part of it." The enlightenment in Wang Lin's eyes grew stronger.
Yao Xixue glared venomously at Wang Lin. The more silent Wang Lin became, the deeper the hatred in her heart grew. With a shrill laugh, Yao Xixue flashed a double-handed incantation gesture and then, without hesitation, touched the spot between her eyebrows.
"Wang Lin, today, we will settle the matter between us. I, Yao Xixue, am willing to sacrifice my soul and this body to avenge my father!"
The hatred and resentment in Yao Xixue's eyes turned into endless viciousness, making her look ferocious. The moment her hands touched the spot between her eyebrows, the light in her eyes disappeared and was replaced by a cold demonic fire.
"Demon Sovereign, I, Yao Xixue, am willing to give up the last bit of my consciousness and give up my physical body. But you must promise me that you will kill him!!!" Yao Xixue's piercing voice echoed through the world.
The moment her voice appeared, a monstrous demonic aura exploded out from Yao Xixue's body. Under the influence of this demonic aura, her appearance changed greatly. Her fingernails grew longer and revealed a sharp, cold light.
Her hair also grew rapidly until it reached the same height as her feet and was completely crimson.
The hideous scars on her face seemed to be alive. They wiggled and strangely connected with each other to form a complicated rune.
An extremely cold demonic aura burst out from her body and spread into the sky. In the blink of an eye, almost half of the Heavens and Earth were filled with her demonic aura.
The Demonic Qi was filled with coldness, and as it spread out, cracking sounds could be heard coming from the surface of the sea below. More than half of the sea had turned into a sea of ice at that moment!
The seawater on the surface of the sea quickly turned into ice and connected at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the surging waves were frozen, making them look like ice sculptures!
Even the wall of waves in the distance was frozen at this moment. From afar, it was an extremely shocking sight.
"As you wish!"
A cold voice came from Yao Xixue's mouth. It was like a cold wind that swept across the world.
Using her own body and soul as a sacrifice, she became the host of one of the nine ancient demon spirits. This was the price Yao Xixue paid for her revenge and for killing Wang Lin.
At this moment, the one controlling Yao Xixue's body was no longer her, but one of the nine ancient demon spirits, the wind demon!
Ancient demons were ever-changing. Back then, they were split into nine parts, and each part had their own intelligence. Some wanted to reform, but there were also some that didn't want to fuse and wanted to live alone.
During these hundreds of years, Bei Lou had devoured seven demonic beasts in succession, and his cultivation had recovered to eighty percent of what it was back then. The remaining twenty percent was in the body of the wind demonic beast.
Unlike the other ancient demon spirits, the wind demon didn't want to reform from the bottom of her heart, so she spared no expense to find another shortcut. After failing to fuse with countless people, she finally chose Yao Xixue and used the hatred in her heart as an obsession to successfully fuse with her.
This kind of fusion was close to madness. It wasn't a possession, but rather an inheritance of memories to Yao Xixue. Once she obtained her memories, she would bear the huge risk of letting her body collapse and turn into an unconscious demonic aura.
This was the same as giving up her identity as an ancient demon spirit, which was equivalent to death!
She used death as the price to not give Bei Lou any chance to devour her.
Even Bei Lou didn't expect this. By the time he reacted, it was already too late. The wind demon collapsed.
Although Yao Xixue had the inherited memories of the wind demon, she couldn't open them all. She could only open a portion and absorb the demonic aura. After hundreds of years of absorption, the demonic aura in her body had condensed to a certain extent.
If she never chose to awaken all the inherited memories, then the wind demon wouldn't be able to wake up anytime soon. In fact, the wind demon was gambling. It was gambling that Yao Xixue would give up everything for the sake of revenge and greater power.
Moreover, even if it lost the gamble, it didn't matter. As Yao Xixue continued to absorb the demonic aura, when the demonic aura reached a certain level, it could automatically attack the inherited memories and open all the memories.
This kind of existence could no longer be considered the wind demon's survival. The true wind demon had already collapsed and died. All that remained were its memories!
And Yao Xixue was just the carrier of this memory.
The moment all the memories were opened, all of Yao Xixue's memories would be devoured, leaving nothing behind. The soul in this body would only have the memories of the wind demon's life. As a result, she would be the new wind demon!
Facing this phenomenon, even Bei Lou was helpless. The demon spirit he wanted had already collapsed. He had also given up his noble identity as an ancient demon and became a demon cultivator, not an ancient demon!
At this moment, the wind demon's memories were all opened under Yao Xixue's obsession with revenge. Yao Xixue's memories were quickly devoured, leaving only her hatred for Wang Lin. Even if the wind demon devoured her memories, it wouldn't be able to erase this hatred.
As the demonic shadow flickered, the wind demon's eyes revealed a cold light as it stared at Wang Lin.
"This demon won't care about the matter between you and Yao Xixue. She has opened my memories, so all of her existence has been devoured by this demon. In this case, this demon has done you a favor!"
The wind demon licked her lips and slowly retreated. As she retreated, the frozen sea immediately melted and traces of cold air rose into the air and quickly entered the wind demon's body.
At this moment, she was extremely cautious. The cultivator in front of her was dangerous, especially the aura of his body. It almost made her suck in a breath of cold air.
Previously, she promised Yao Xixue to trick her into giving up everything. Even the words "as you wish" were just to appease the devoured Yao Xixue not to resist.
Now that everything was done, she, the wind demon, would not take the risk to fight against this cultivator who made her feel a little scared for a person who had lost his value.
If the person Yao Xixue wanted to kill was weak, she could do it. However, the person in front of her made her feel extremely fearful.
Moreover, her current cultivation level was much weaker than before. Therefore, she couldn't take any risks.
"This place is one of the restrictions in the Celestial Emperor Cave. If all the restrictions are triggered, it will be very troublesome for both of us. There is no feud between us, so I'll be leaving." As the wind demon spoke, she continued to retreat.
Wang Lin slowly raised his head and his gaze fell on the retreating wind demon.
From her appearance, he could still vaguely see Yao Xixue's appearance, but the feeling she gave Wang Lin was that she had become a completely different person.
Although her soul was still Yao Xixue's soul …
There was a flash of killing intent in Wang Lin's eyes and he took a step forward.
The moment he moved forward, the pupils of the wind demon, who had been staring at Wang Lin, shrank and she retreated without hesitation!
Her name was wind demon, and her speed was not ordinary. Although she was only a demonic cultivator, her speed was still unimaginably fast. As she retreated, she disappeared without a trace.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as the Ancient God Furnace appeared around him. He pointed forward and there was a flash of light in front of him. It was the wind demon that had escaped far away. Her eyes were filled with shock as she was pulled toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn't stop at all. As the wind demon closed in, his right index finger pointed between her eyebrows.
With a bang, the wind demon's body was knocked back and she coughed out a mouthful of blood. Her eyes were filled with coldness.
"My dao is karma. To complete the domain of karma, not only do I need to solve all my doubts, but I also need to be completely integrated into it …" Wang Lin seemed to be talking to himself as he walked toward the wind demon.
The wind demon let out a roar and formed a seal with both hands as she retreated. Thick demonic energy immediately filled the area. The sea that had melted below once again turned into a sea of ice. As the wind demon waved her hand, the sea within tens of thousands of kilometers shattered. Countless pieces of ice flew up and whistled toward Wang Lin.
"Little cultivator, I didn't want to kill you, but you don't know what's good for you!"
As the wind demon's voice echoed, the countless pieces of ice shot toward Wang Lin like sharp blades and instantly closed in on him.
At a glance, the entire world was shrouded in endless ice. They all whistled toward Wang Lin as if they wanted to completely freeze and collapse Wang Lin.
The moment the ice closed in, Wang Lin raised his right hand and gently waved. A sea of fire appeared before him. At the beginning, this sea of fire wasn't large, but it instantly spread out with Wang Lin as the center.
At this moment, the entire sky was red and a sea of fire spread out.
The rapidly closing ice melted into water when it was hit by the sea of fire, but it immediately turned into white gas. In almost an instant, aside from the sea of fire, there was only white mist in the world.
The wind demon's pupils shrank and she sucked in a breath of cold air. She had already overestimated Wang Lin, but now she found that her understanding was still lacking. The person before her wasn't terrifying, he was terrifying!
Even when she was at her peak, she wouldn't dare to say she could win. Not to mention now that he was reborn and only had the cultivation of a late stage Nirvana Scryer cultivator.
"The matter with Yao Xixue is the last hurdle for my karma dao to reach completion. Over the past hundreds of years, I have unknowingly become a part of this karma. Only by completely integrating with karma can I comprehend the domain I need. It is like hell. If you don't enter, how can you know what you want?"
The enlightenment in Wang Lin's eyes became even stronger and he stepped forward. At this moment, his body was surrounded by a sea of fire. As he moved forward, the sea of fire became even stronger. It gave off a monstrous heat as it shot toward the wind demon.
The wind demon's mind trembled. She clenched her teeth and pointed at the sky without hesitation and shouted, "Law of wind!"
After she spoke, a gust of demonic wind appeared and surrounded the wind demon. With a bang, it turned into countless pieces of wind and shot toward Wang Lin.
In that instant, colors flashed in the sky, and a demonic wind filled the air. Even the sea below began to rumble, and huge waves rose up into the sky, churning violently.
Countless fine cracks appeared in the sky as if the sky was going to collapse under this endless demonic wind.
The broken demonic wind was like wind blades that swept by. Even the sea of fire dimmed as if it was going to extinguish.
However, when this wind blew on Wang Lin, it couldn't make Wang Lin take half a step back. He slowly moved forward step by step, allowing the wind to blow on his body.
"Now that I've entered karma and broken through everything, my dao of karma can reach great success. Only then can my dao heart make a breakthrough!" Wang Lin's right hand formed a fist, and the moment he said the word "break," he threw a punch.
There was a heaven-shaking bang as Wang Lin threw a punch. The shadow of an ancient god appeared with its head reaching the sky and its feet stepping on the sea. It also threw a punch along with Wang Lin!
"Ancient god!!!"
The wind demon sucked in a breath of cold air. She felt that the terrifying aura from Wang Lin was familiar, but after a long time, she had forgotten a lot of things. However, when she saw this shadow, she immediately recalled the terrifying memories from the past.
"You're actually an ancient god!!"
The wind demon's scalp went numb and she immediately retreated without a word. She almost turned into a gust of wind and escaped at an extremely fast speed.
"Everything I did before was not wrong with the dao of karma!
The dao of karma hasn't reached great success yet because my dao heart has a flaw after 1,000 years of slaughter. It's as if a demon has appeared in my heart! "
Wang Lin's punch collided with the endless demonic wind and a heaven-shaking bang echoed. The demonic wind was torn apart by this punch and was pushed back in all directions.
Wang Lin stared at the place where the wind demon had disappeared without a trace. He wasn't anxious at all as he slapped his bag of holding and the Wither Tattoo appeared. He stuck it on his body.
The moment the Wither Talisman was placed on his body, a gust of black wind came from Wang Lin's body and formed a vortex that filled the sky. The moment the vortex appeared, even the sea under Wang Lin's feet seemed to be affected and a powerful vortex appeared.
A heaven-shaking roar came from the vortex around Wang Lin's body. It was as if it could break the world.
As it screeched, a bird that was completely black appeared in the black wind.
The bird suddenly spread its wings. Its body was originally only a few dozen feet long, but the moment it spread its wings, it grew infinitely larger. In the blink of an eye, it was hundreds of thousands of feet long!
Its huge body could cover the sky!
As the roar tore through the sky, Wang Lin only took one step forward and immediately felt the power of the wind. The wind in front of him was like a wall rushing toward him.
Under Wang Lin's ancient god body, these wall-like obstacles all collapsed. This speed was indescribable. With just one step, Wang Lin seemed to separate the world and moved forward in a way that was not Spatial Bending.
The wind demon used all her strength to escape crazily. In order to prevent the other party from using a strange spell like before to quickly close the distance between them, she didn't care about the consumption of her demonic aura. She surrounded her body with demonic aura and quickly formed a protective barrier.
The spread of demonic aura caused a huge demonic shadow to appear on her body.
The wind demon was very confident in her speed, but just when she thought she had escaped from the other party's control, she immediately heard a thunderous sound behind her.
When she turned around, the wind demon was scared out of her wits. Behind her, Wang Lin was approaching at an unimaginable speed.
As Wang Lin closed in, the vortex that had appeared on the surface of the sea also closed in. At this rapid speed, a heaven-shaking roar came from the sea below, as if all the sea water was being churned!
"The result of this matter lies in my dao heart. The way to break through is to truly end this karma with you!"
"What bullsh * t karma? This demon doesn't understand a single word!
If you keep pestering me like this, then even if I have to risk everything, I'll kill you here! "
The wind demon let out a sharp cry and no longer escaped. The speed that made her extremely confident was a joke before this person. How could she escape!?
She had devoured Yao Xixue's memories, and the unerasable hatred in her heart could no longer be suppressed as she was being chased. This hatred entered her mind, and it immediately made the scars on her face even more ferocious. The runes formed by these scars flashed with a green light.
"Ancient demon treasure, God Sealing Demon Sealing Flag!"
The wind demon let out a roar and raised her hands toward the sky. All the demonic aura in her body appeared like crazy and quickly gathered in her hands.
Under the endless demonic aura, the heavens and earth were immediately enveloped in a cold chill. Everything in the surroundings seemed to show signs of freezing, and there was even a whimpering wind that whistled.
In the sky above the Wind Demon, the demonic aura that was constantly condensing began to flash with green lightning. As the demonic aura continued to condense, three small green flags came out of it.
The moment the three small green flags appeared, the weather immediately changed. The surface of the sea below seemed to have been split open by a strange force, and it began to squeeze in all directions as rumbling sounds rang out.
Countless illusory figures suddenly appeared on the three green flags. Among these figures, there was an ancient god and two single-horned ancient devils!
What was even more terrifying was that after the three small flags appeared, not only did the sea change, but even this realm seemed to become unstable. As the waves surged, all the restrictions here were activated!
The activation of the restrictions caused the sea below to tremble violently. The waves rapidly gathered, and in the blink of an eye, countless ravines without water appeared on the surface of the sea.
As these ravines intersected with each other, the waves became even more intense.
What was truly shocking was that as the sea gathered, if one looked from the sky, they would be shocked to find that the endless sea formed the shape of a person!
His eyes were filled with tears as he begged for monthly votes!
