In ancient times, the Ji, Dao, and Beginning realms were extremely difficult to comprehend. In terms of mystery, the Ji Realm was not as mysterious as the Dao Realm. In terms of unpredictability, it was not as mysterious as the Shi Realm. However, in ancient times, if a cultivator of the Ji Realm appeared, it would be a catastrophe.
The Ji Realm was not as mysterious as the Dao Realm and not as strange as the Shi Realm. However, in terms of terror, the Dao Realm and Shi Realm were far from the Ji Realm. The Ji Realm was unscrupulous and ruthless. Cultivators of the Ji Realm were many times colder and more merciless than others. From then on, their spiritual energy would lean towards the extreme.
As a result, the destructive power of the Ji Realm could only be described as terrifying. Against cultivators of the same level, the Ji Realm was invincible.
However, the weakness of the Ji Realm was also very obvious. It could not reach the Spirit Severing stage.
The late stage of Nascent Soul was the end of the Ji Realm.
However, even a normal Spirit Severing cultivator would not dare to provoke a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
If that was all, the Ji Realm would not be considered terrifying.
What was truly terrifying was that in ancient times, a heaven-defying cultivator who had surpassed the Soul Transformation stage was discovered to have Ji Realm spiritual energy during his tribulation.
This was a piece of news that shocked and terrified everyone in the ancient cultivation world.
This cultivator had dominated the cultivation world for more than three thousand years. In these three thousand years, he was the uncrowned king of the cultivation world. No one dared to provoke him. If there was any discord, he would kill the entire sect of the other party.
In these three thousand years, just the mention of his name would cause people's hearts to jump.
In these three thousand years, the number of cultivators that died in his hands was incalculable. Later generations even speculated that the destruction of the ancient cultivation world had a lot to do with this person. If it wasn't for the fact that countless sects were slaughtered during the three thousand years he was there, the ancient cultivation world would not have collapsed without any resistance in the face of that sudden catastrophe.
The Pinnacle Realm itself was already a heaven-defying existence. Not only was it invincible within the same realm, but its extreme spiritual energy attributes allowed it to unleash any spell to unimaginable extremes. This in itself was already very frightening. In addition, without the restriction of the Soul Formation Stage, as long as there was a Pinnacle Realm cultivator who surpassed the Soul Formation Stage, it would be a complete catastrophe in the cultivation world.
Because of this, in ancient times, whenever a Ji Realm cultivator appeared, all cultivators would go all out to kill them. In the ancient cultivation world, the Ji Realm was said to be truly heaven-defying.
If the demonic path was compared to the scourges and ferocious beasts, then in the ancient times, the demonic path was simply too obedient when compared to the cultivators with the Extreme Realm. They were simply not on the same level.
In fact, even in the ancient times, research on the Paramount State had never stopped. However, in the end, the reason for this frightening state was still at the stage of exploration.
Luckily, the Soul Formation Stage Ji Realm was only broken once for that legendary person. After him, the descendants of the Paramount Realm were all stuck at the late stage of Nascent Soul and were unable to break through.
To this day, most of the records regarding the Paramount Realm have disappeared in the river of time. No one knows how the Paramount Realm was obtained or how it was obtained.
However, in some of the most powerful sects in high level cultivation countries, there were a few books that described the Paramount Realm.
In ancient times, a genius cultivator appeared in the Nimble Sect of the State of Gu Nie. In ten years, he entered the Core Formation stage. Later, the Nimble Sect was exterminated by other sects. Five years later, a mysterious cultivator appeared out of nowhere. In just a month, he killed nearly ten thousand cultivators, dyeing the sky red.
With only early stage Nascent Soul cultivation, not only could he kill cultivators of the same cultivation level, he couldn't even resist a Soul Formation cultivator. In the end, the righteous and demonic sects invited a Soul Transformation cultivator to kill him.
In ancient times, the country of Shimizu was destroyed. The heir to the throne joined a cultivation sect. 30 years later, he appeared and killed all cultivators. It didn't matter if they were male or female, old or young. Anyone who provoked him was killed. In just seven days, not a single cultivator remained in the country of Shimizu. Even the sect he belonged to wasn't able to escape this calamity.
Blood dyed the land of Shimizu red. Just as the higher level cultivation countries were about to send a large amount of experts to capture this person, the entire country of Shimizu was filled with blood. He used blood to kill his enemies and left behind his name. Then, he mysteriously disappeared. Some people speculated that he had gone through divine retribution...
All of these things had one thing in common: these cultivators all had the Paramount Realm.
As for how these people obtained the Paramount Realm, no one knew. Some people speculated that they encountered a great change, while others speculated that they all had the same treasure.
The inheritance of this treasure allowed anyone who had the treasure to obtain the Paramount Realm.
There were all kinds of speculations, but in the end, after the ancient cultivation world disappeared, all of these speculations faded away.
No one knew that at this very moment, in a small place called Jue Ming Valley in a rank 3 cultivation country called Zhao, a young man named Wang Lin was slowly going through a metamorphosis toward the Paramount Realm.
If Teng Huayuan knew of this, he would never have become the inheritor of the Paramount Realm...
Wang Lin half knelt on the ground. Everything within a few hundred feet of him was covered in blue ice, creating a zone of death.
The heaven defying bead on his chest released a black light like never before. It floated up from his chest and floated above his head...
Teng Huayuan used the blood bond between Wang Lin and Wang Lin to leave a message in Wang Lin's mind.
"I'll wait for you outside of Jue Ming Valley. If you don't appear when the valley opens, I'll destroy the soul flag and destroy your family."
At this moment, the two males and one female from the Tian Dao Sect quickly caught up. They suddenly stopped a few dozen feet away from Wang Lin. The blue light coming from the ice caused their hearts to tighten.
The youth in the center of the ice gave off an aura that could destroy anything. Even the mid stage Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't help but be alarmed by this aura.
After hesitating for a bit, the mid stage Foundation Establishment cultivator waved his hand and said, "Retreat!"
With that, he was about to leave when the female among the three stared at the heaven defying bead above Wang Lin's head. She hesitated and said, "Senior apprentice brother, that bead looks very familiar to me …"
The other male exclaimed, "This … this … this is the bead the ancestor talked about!
No, the pattern on it is different. The piece of jade the ancestor gave us clearly had a cloud carved on it, but this one has a leaf carved on it. "
The mid Foundation Establishment Cultivator was startled. He carefully looked at the bead and his expression became serious. But soon, a trace of greed appeared in his heart. Aside from the pattern on the bead, it was exactly the same as the one described in the ancestor's jade slip. The thought of the reward for obtaining the bead suddenly appeared in his mind.
"The person who turns it in will receive a Soul Transformation level treasure, 10 Soul Formation level refined corpses from their sect, and their cultivation country will be upgraded by one level."
The mid stage Foundation Establishment cultivator decisively said, "It doesn't matter if it is or not, let's just get it first."
The female immediately took out her sound transmitting talisman. Just as she was about to send a message, she was stopped by the mid stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. The mid stage Foundation Establishment cultivator whispered, "Although this person is strange, if the three of us go all out, we can definitely kill him. If you inform the others, if this bead is really what it is, then the credit will not go to us.
At the same time, if we are wrong and this bead isn't what it is, then we will be scolded for using so many people. Are you stupid? "
The female was startled. After hesitating for a bit, she put away the sound transmitting talisman. The three of them took out their own treasures and attacked without a word.
Just at this moment, Wang Lin opened his eyes. His eyes had lost all color and were as dark as water. A powerful killing intent appeared in his heart. As the killing intent appeared, the spiritual energy in his body began to move.
The first effect of the Ji Realm was displayed. Against cultivators of the same cultivation level, Ji Realm cultivators were invincible.
Staring at the three people not far away, Wang Lin waved his hand with a gloomy expression. There was a flash of blue light and the ice on the ground quickly surrounded the three of them.
Their expressions and actions all stopped at the moment they attacked.
Wang Lin stood up and reached out with his right hand to retrieve the heaven defying bead. He carefully placed it in his pocket and walked past the three of them.
The ice surrounding the three of them cracked and shattered. The three of them fell to the ground and died.
Wang Lin silently walked in the Jue Ming Valley. Suddenly, a sword light pierced through the air and a young man appeared. Without a word, he pointed at the flying sword. The flying sword trembled and immediately stabbed at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn't stop. The moment the flying sword stabbed at him, a blue ice crystal appeared on the flying sword. In the blink of an eye, the flying sword turned into a block of ice.
The young man was shocked and immediately retreated. He saw that Wang Lin was alone and that he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. He wanted to kill him and steal his treasures, but he didn't expect that his flying sword would be destroyed before Wang Lin could even lift a hand.
In his panic, there was only one thought in his mind: run!
But before he could retreat, there was a flash of green light and a small green sword pierced through his chest. His body immediately turned into ice and fell to the ground.
From start to finish, Wang Lin didn't stop.
One day later, somewhere in the valley, there were seven or eight people from the righteous and demonic sects fighting. There were several people watching from both sides. At this time, Wang Lin's lonely figure walked out from the side, as if he didn't see the people in front of him and continued walking forward.
A middle-aged man from the demonic path frowned. Without a word, he threw a thunder symbol at Wang Lin. Thunder fell from the heavens, but the moment it touched Wang Lin, blue ice crystals shot out from the thunder, unexpectedly freezing the invisible heavenly thunder.
This scene caused everyone to stop fighting. They stared blankly at the expressionless Wang Lin approaching them.
Soon after, the middle-aged man who threw the thunder symbol had a flash of green light in his chest. With a miserable cough, his body immediately turned into ice and he fell to the ground, dead.
Everyone was shocked. At this time, Wang Lin had already arrived. There were four people standing in front of him. These four people were about to speak, but with a flash of blue light, the four of them turned into ice crystals, following in the footsteps of the middle-aged man.
At this point, everyone retreated to the sides. A white-clothed youth from the righteous path cupped his fists together and loudly said, "Fellow daoist, which sect are you from?
I am Primordial Sect's disciple, Zhou Quan. "
Wang Lin ignored him and continued walking forward. Slowly, there was no one blocking his path. Wang Lin slowly walked forward. After walking a thousand feet, a young demonic path disciple stared at Wang Lin's back and sneered in his heart, "You killed my senior apprentice-brother. I will remember you."
Wang Lin suddenly stopped. He could feel a thick killing intent coming from behind him. He turned around and coldly stared at the demonic path disciple.
Under Wang Lin's gaze, that disciple felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His entire body felt cold from the inside out. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Wang Lin's eyes.
Every cultivator that saw these eyes sucked in a breath of cold air.
These eyes were filled with a deathly stillness, as well as an unimaginable killing intent. A chill rolled in everyone's hearts.
After staring at that cultivator for a moment, Wang Lin turned around and continued walking forward. The demonic path cultivator's chest flashed with a green light and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground and his body immediately turned into an ice sculpture. Even the blood he spat out turned into ice in midair and fell to the ground.
No one dared to breathe. They waited until Wang Lin's figure disappeared. Then, both sides lost all thoughts of fighting and retreated.
Like this, everyone that Wang Lin encountered along the way was turned into ice with a wave of his hand. Even late Foundation Establishment cultivators were unable to resist. After several people died, they all fled, not daring to provoke him.
In these three days, the number of cultivators that died under Wang Lin's hands was innumerable.
