After successfully cutting off a head, even Wang Lin was startled. If he wasn't forced into a corner, he wouldn't have taken the risk to attack.
After all, in his memory, the Ji Qiong was an ancient fierce beast that dared to fight against an ancient god!
His original intention was to injure the Ji Qiong and give the second wave of flying swords a chance to attack. However, he didn't expect his sword to cut off the head.
He didn't have much time to think. He could only grab the head of the middle-aged man that gave him a strange feeling and teleport 10,000 feet away. However, at that moment, the hideous head exploded with a bang and turned into a ball of flames. Within the flames was a cyan fragment!
That fragment was like a broken piece of porcelain, but it was filled with the might of the heavens and earth.
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed, but he didn't stop. He grabbed the fragment and charged forward.
At this moment, the Ji Qiong's branch that had lost its head suddenly shrank. It turned into a green mist and dissipated a moment later. The remaining seventeen heads all raised their heads. Even the burly man's body began to tremble violently.
A roar that shook the heavens and earth instantly rose into the air. That roar drowned out the thunder and turned into a sonic boom. As it spread out, the world in the Golden Gate seemed to have been turned upside down. The countless flying swords charging at them from all directions in the distance also shuddered.
The Ji Qiong let out a roar and charged forward. In the blink of an eye, it closed in on the escaping Wang Lin. The 17 heads immediately began to chant and charged forward to devour him!
Immediately, the wind blew and clouds scattered. Endless green mist appeared out of nowhere. A huge green head appeared before the Ji Qiong. This head had a human face, but it was covered in scales. Its eyes were cold and emotionless, and from a distance, it was no less than 10,000 feet tall!
What was strange was that there was a palm print between the eyebrows of the head. This palm print was like a seal and gave off endless purple gas!
As it roared, the strange head opened its mouth to devour Wang Lin!
The moment the gigantic head appeared, countless strands of purple Qi appeared out of nowhere in the sky. These strands of purple Qi gathered together and formed a palm that slowly descended.
It didn't descend on the giant head, but on the Ji Qiong.
The 17 heads of the Ji Qiong revealed unwillingness and continued to roar as if it was resisting the descent of the palm print. It wanted to make the giant head appear.
Wang Lin's pupils shrank. He had felt that something was wrong. Although the Ji Qiong was strong, it wasn't as strong as the one in Tu Si's memories. There were 36 Ji Qiong in Tu Si's memories, but now there were 18 of them.
A hint of suspicion appeared in his heart, but he didn't expect the Ji Qiong to display a spell that made his scalp go numb. The moment the giant head appeared, Wang Lin's cultivation stopped circulating and showed signs of freezing.
As it devoured, a powerful suction force appeared around Wang Lin. This suction force was not something he could resist. Adding on the fact that his cultivation seemed to have frozen, Wang Lin couldn't escape. His body was immediately pulled toward the mouth of the giant head.
It was as if the divine ability being unleashed by the head could consume the heavens and the earth. The second wave of flying swords trembled as they were sucked toward it.
If that was all, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, what shocked Wang Lin even more was that the world seemed to tremble as if it was going to be devoured. It seemed to be torn apart and condensed.
"There is a spirit in ancient times called Ji. Every time it devours the world, it can grow a head!"
At this moment, this sentence appeared in Wang Lin's mind. His face was pale and his body moved like a meteor. He was getting closer and closer to the mouth.
In this moment of danger, Wang Lin struggled to raise his right hand and point to the spot between his eyebrows. Popping sounds came from his right arm and it instantly turned into rock. However, in the end, it touched the spot between his eyebrows.
With this, Wang Lin's entire right arm exploded and turned into countless pieces of rock that were sucked into the giant mouth. However, at this moment, with the power of his right arm exploding, the circulation of his cultivation loosened a bit.
In an instant, Wang Lin's left hand reached out and a crack to his storage space appeared. He threw the sword in his left hand and the pieces of porcelain into the crack. At the same time, a piece of beast skin flew out and landed next to the yellow talisman on Wang Lin's chest.
The yellow talisman was a speed talisman, and the beast skin was also a speed talisman. They were personally refined by Ta Shan, who had inherited the inheritance from the Tattoo Sacred Ancestor, and they were extremely powerful!
With two speed talismans on Wang Lin's body, an unimaginable feeling of speed erupted from his body.
Borrowing this powerful speed, Wang Lin clenched his teeth and charged forward. He struggled against the suction force. As he charged out, Wang Lin felt like he was crashing into a mountain. With a series of popping sounds, he charged out 100 feet!
Right at this moment, his left leg instantly turned into rock. With a bang, it shattered into pieces and was sucked away from his side.
The Ji Qiong continued to roar, and its 17 heads were ferocious. The veins on its face bulged as it resisted the palm print that was getting closer and closer. The giant mouth gave off even more green light and the suction force increased!
Wang Lin was charging out of the suction force when his right leg collapsed. Under the increasing suction force, he could no longer escape and was sucked back. Just as he was about to be swallowed by the mouth, Wang Lin smiled bitterly. He only had time to lift his stiff left hand that was about to turn into rock. Without any hesitation, he tore off the rune and beast skin on his chest and used the last bit of his cultivation to send them into his storage space.
After he did that, his vision darkened. He was swallowed into the mouth of the head along with the countless flying swords.
The head turned into a ray of green light that covered the sky and entered the Ji Qiong's body. At this moment, the palm print slowly stopped 10 feet above the Ji Qiong.
The 17 heads of the Ji Qiong raised their heads and revealed expressions of dread, but they still continued to roar. Just at this moment, the purple light from the palm print shined brightly and shrouded the Ji Qiong. The Ji Qiong's body seemed to become transparent, and its insides could be clearly seen.
If Wang Lin hadn't been swallowed, he would have clearly seen that nine of the 17 heads of the Ji Qiong had porcelain fragments inside them.
The purple light slowly disappeared, but so did the palm print, as if it had never appeared.
The vigilance in the eyes of the 17 heads of the Ji Qiong gradually disappeared. At this moment, a mass of flesh appeared on its neck and continued to squirm. In the end, with a pop, a branch 1,000 feet long rushed out, and at the top of the branch was a head!
It looked like Wang Lin!
At this moment, on a very ordinary mountain on the moon outside Suzaku, Wang Lin, who was sitting inside a celestial energy formation, trembled and suddenly opened his eyes. They were filled with horror.
"Ji Qiong!!"
Wang Lin took a deep breath. He didn't expect the avatar he had sent to see Tuo Sen's might would die in the mouth of the Ji Qiong before he could even see Tuo Sen.
"Although the spell this beast displayed was very powerful, I could deal with it and even cut off one of its heads. However … now that I think about it, all of this was because the beast didn't use its true spell. It must have had some misgivings …" Wang Lin thought back to the palm print between the eyebrows of the head and the purple palm print that appeared after the Ji Qiong used its devouring spell.
"Could it be that this thing is sealed? If I use its true divine ability, I'll trigger the power of the seal … The head that it transformed into in the end … is simply too terrifying!
My speed with two speed talismans can compare to a late stage Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, but I couldn't even fight back against that suction force! "
Wang Lin silently looked ahead and began to ponder. After a long time, he let out a sigh and bitterly smiled. "Wang Lin, your current cultivation level is nothing in this world. You still need to be cautious!"
Wang Lin revealed a bitter expression. In the Demon Spirit Land, he battled Master Void, Sundered Night battled the All-Seer, Dream of Ancient Times battled the ancient devil, then he became the Rosefinch Divine Emperor, saved the Azure Dragon, and awakened Celestial Emperor Qing Lin. Along the way, Wang Lin's cultivation level had increased greatly, especially after he became the Rosefinch Divine Emperor and lured all the forces to fight against Tuo Sen.
All of this made him feel like he was in control of everything. Due to the battle against a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator, he unknowingly felt a trace of complacency.
If he had been as cautious as he was in the past when he saw the Ji Qiong, he wouldn't have tried to injure the Ji Qiong and ended up being devoured.
The death of the avatar was like a hammer that mercilessly smashed into Wang Lin's head. The trace of complacency in his heart was shattered until it no longer existed.
The feeling of death just now was very real, and it allowed Wang Lin to taste death for the second time in his life.
Wang Lin pondered for a long time with a bitter expression. When he raised his head, his expression was serious and he became cautious. His hands formed a seal and he pointed to between his eyebrows. Another origin soul appeared.
Just like before, another avatar was formed from the surrounding rubble. His origin soul entered the avatar and it disappeared into the mountain.
"This Qing Lin's celestial spell requires too much celestial spiritual energy, and if I create too many avatars, it will affect my origin soul greatly. This second avatar is already the limit …" Wang Lin closed his eyes and began to cultivate. His mind was focused on the avatar.
Using Spatial Bending, Wang Lin arrived on top of Suzaku once more. He didn't stop and went directly to the Land of the Ancient God. He took a deep breath and stepped inside.
With the caution he had when he reached the Core Formation stage, Wang Lin moved through the void and soon arrived at the entrance of the vortex. His right hand reached at the void and a flying sword appeared. He gathered his divine sense on it and controlled the flying sword to enter the vortex. The moment he entered, he felt a sandstorm.
