At this moment, Wang Lin felt a chill run through his body. This chill was bone-chilling and contained a strong sense of danger.
Years of life and death experiences had given Wang Lin extraordinary calmness. At this moment, he didn't subconsciously retreat or escape. Instead, he quietly stood there, motionless, as if he was rooted to the ground!
His pupils had already shrunk to become a black dot as he stared at the ferocious beast that looked like a muscular man.
"Ji Qiong!!"
Ancient God Tu Si's memories flowed through Wang Lin's mind and stopped at the beast before him.
The moment he recognized this beast, cold sweat appeared on Wang Lin's forehead.
As his cultivation level increased, his understanding of the laws of the world increased, and he came into contact with more things, Wang Lin understood that cultivators weren't the strongest race. Aside from cultivators, there were also fierce beasts that couldn't be dealt with.
There were even some fierce beasts that were so powerful that even 8-star ancient god Tu Si didn't want to provoke!
For example, the mosquito herd from the past or the other scene in Wang Lin's memories.
It was a dark space, and even the bright nebulas were blurry, as if they couldn't illuminate this space. In the distance, there was a purple planet.
A figure that was hundreds of feet in size slowly flew out from the purple planet. Although this figure was not large, the 36 branches that extended from its head turned into 36 huge heads. At a glance, each of the heads was actually ten thousand feet long!
As a result, the body of this strange beast was almost negligible. It flew out from the purple planet and let out a roar!
This was the roar of the 36 heads at the same time, and it shook the heavens and the earth. Even the starry sky began to collapse under the roar. Pieces of the starry sky were split apart, forming an unimaginably spectacular scene.
The target of this fierce beast's roar wasn't space itself, but a giant ancient god not far away!
There weren't many space beasts that dared to roar before an ancient god, and those that dared to take the initiative to attack were even rarer. The 36 Ji Qiongs charged at the ancient god while roaring.
The scene suddenly disappeared. Wang Lin looked at the Ji Qiong and gently took a step back.
One of the Ji Qiong's heads hesitated. It looked at Wang Lin and then at the beast corpse on the rock as if it was weighing its choice.
Wang Lin slowly took another step back, and his eyes were filled with vigilance. From Tu Si's memories, it wasn't difficult to see how powerful this Ji Qiong was. Wang Lin believed that with his current cultivation level, it would be very difficult to kill or subdue this fierce beast, so he could only force it to retreat.
However, he had to be careful when retreating. He had to be as gentle as possible. If his speed was too fast, he would immediately attract the pursuit of this vicious beast.
"If this beast could become the beast of my original body's ancient god, it would definitely increase my original body's combat power. Unfortunately …"
As Wang Lin slowly retreated, the 18 heads of the Ji Qiong lowered their heads and continued to eat the beast corpse in front of them, creating crunching sounds.
This sound echoed in this quiet void, and it was especially ear-piercing.
However, there was still one head that didn't lower its head to devour the beast corpse. Instead, it coldly stared at Wang Lin. As Wang Lin retreated, it slowly moved like a snake's head that licked its lips.
This head belonged to a middle-aged man. His hair was a mess, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. He stared at Wang Lin while chewing the meat in his mouth.
When Wang Lin retreated 10 steps, the remaining 17 heads of the Ji Qiong lowered their heads. However, the eyes of the last head that looked like a middle-aged man shined and he spat out a large piece of meat.
Wang Lin didn't hesitate to take a step back. He turned into a ray of light and quickly retreated. The moment he retreated, the head that looked like a middle-aged man let out a sharp hiss!
This hiss had the power to pierce through metal and stone. As it echoed in this quiet void, it caused some of the floating rocks to collapse.
At the same time, the other 17 heads also raised their heads and stared at Wang Lin. They turned into rays of black light and chased after Wang Lin at an unimaginable speed.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. This beast could not be understood by cultivators. He originally didn't want to be entangled with it, but the hiss behind him was getting closer and closer.
He couldn't use Spatial Bending in the Land of the Ancient God, but he could teleport. Wang Lin's body flickered and he disappeared without a trace.
However, just as he teleported and disappeared, the Ji Qiong that was chasing Wang Lin also disappeared.
The moment Wang Lin stepped out of the void, his expression changed and he dodged to the side without hesitation. There was a bang and a ray of sword energy 100 feet wide almost brushed past Wang Lin's body.
A gust of wind blew by his face and Wang Lin immediately retreated. When he looked up, he saw that the Ji Qiong had also teleported. That ray of sword energy had come from one of the heads.
The eyes of the 18 heads were filled with bloodlust and greed. They stared at Wang Lin as if they wanted to devour him and taste the flesh and blood of a living person.
Wang Lin's expression was extremely gloomy. Without a word, he turned around and teleported again. The Ji Qiong let out a roar and quickly chased. One person and one beast continued to shuttle through the void.
The Ji Qiong was very fast, and without teleportation, Wang Lin wouldn't be able to catch up. However, Wang Lin was cautious and would teleport the moment he appeared. As a result, he was able to maintain some distance.
The Ji Qiong's roar became more and more angry. One of the heads that looked like an old woman bit the tip of her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Immediately, the blood squirmed and turned into two blood-colored runes. One flew into the sky, and the other descended to the ground. In an instant, the entire world was surrounded by a blood-colored light that sealed the sky and locked the earth!
In this sealed world, any teleportation would be like running into an iron plate!
Wang Lin originally wanted to teleport, but his expression became even more gloomy. He gave up on teleporting and reached out with his right hand. A crack to his storage space appeared before him, and the moment the Ji Qiong caught up, Wang Lin took out a yellow talisman.
He placed it on his chest without hesitation, and a gust of wind swept up Wang Lin's body as he charged forward. His speed increased explosively, causing him to turn into a ray of black light and disappear.
The Ji Qiong's 18 heads were startled, but they immediately began to roar. A charming girl's head revealed a ferocious expression and let out a sharp cry. A black wind suddenly surrounded the Ji Qiong, and it swept up the Ji Qiong. It moved faster and faster, and in the end, it turned into a blur as it chased after Wang Lin.
At the same time, four of the heads started chanting incantations. In an instant, countless black seals appeared around the storm, densely surrounding it. At the same time, they gathered towards the storm and imprinted themselves on it.
As a result, the speed of the storm increased countless fold, and the distance that Wang Lin had opened up was instantly closed.
At this moment, Wang Lin was already very close to the entrance to the next trial with the help of the runes. He could even vaguely see a huge vortex before him.
Wang Lin understood that once he entered the vortex, he could leave the void and avoid the terrifying pursuit of the Ji Qiong.
However, he did not have the time. The howling behind him was still very far away, but the storm was less than 1,000 feet away!
If this continued, before Wang Lin could enter the vortex, he would be caught by the Ji Qiong!
At this moment of crisis, there was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes. His left hand formed a seal and he waved it behind him. A sea of fire immediately appeared and formed a barrier of fire behind him. As he charged out, he suddenly turned around and pointed forward.
Thunder rumbled in the void. Endless thunder spread out from Wang Lin's finger and formed a net that fell on the flames.
Just at this moment, the black storm around the Ji Qiong collided with the sea of fire. Thunderous rumbles echoed and the sea of fire collapsed into countless sparks.
The black wind also paused for a moment under the impact of the flames, but at this moment, the 18-headed Ji Qiong rushed out and charged at Wang Lin with a fishy smell.
The 18 heads of different ages revealed ferocious expressions. In particular, the middle-aged man's head that wanted to devour Wang Lin was filled with excitement. It was as if he was looking forward to eating the flesh and blood of a living person.
However, Wang Lin was already prepared. The net of lightning instantly surrounded the Ji Qiong. As the lightning crackled, the Ji Qiong continued to roar, but it slowed down a bit.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. His two thunder and fire spells were powerful, but they couldn't injure the Ji Qiong. They could only hinder the Ji Qiong for a bit. Even if he could stall the Ji Qiong for a bit, he wasn't confident he could retreat into the vortex and escape the Ji Qiong.
However, Wang Lin was unwilling to leave just like this!
"You have to pay the price for chasing after Wang!"
There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes. His hands formed a seal and his origin energy circulated. A chill gradually rose from his origin soul.
A strand of slaughter energy suddenly erupted from his body and turned into a net of slaughter energy. He let out a roar and pointed forward!
In an instant, this slaughter energy gathered like crazy and turned into a ray of dark red light. As thunder rumbled, it charged at Ji Qiong like crazy.
All of this happened in a flash. The moment the dark red strand of slaughter energy rushed out, the Ji Qiong trembled and the net of lightning around it collapsed.
The moment the lightning net collapsed, the killing aura whistled through the air. It was so fast that it was like a shooting star streaking across the sky. It was reflected in the 18 pairs of eyes on the 18 heads.
