"Thank you, Fellow Cultivator Lu, for showing mercy!"
Du Lin's face was pale as he clasped his hands. Blood came out from the corner of his mouth as he quickly left in the rain. His back looked extremely bleak.
As the eldest disciple of the seventh-grade Violet Pine Valley, he had been nurtured by the main sect for thousands of years. All sorts of pills and cultivation methods were sent to him, and he even had the guidance of powerful cultivators. He had thought that he was already standing at the pinnacle, but in today's battle, his opponent didn't even use any other tricks. Just a single technique to extract his Astral Soul was enough to defeat him!
In truth, when he saw Lin Fan extract the planet soul, he knew he would without a doubt lose. However, he still had a sliver of hope that he could resist a spell or two. However, the cruel reality was like the rain from the sky, causing him to lose without any room for error.
This kind of mental blow filled his heart with bitterness. Mo Luo walked through the rain and gradually returned to where the Purple Pine Valley disciples were. He silently sat there without saying a word.
Yin Yue's face was also pale. She bit her lower lip and clasped her hands at Wang Lin before leaving. She was still bleak in the rain.
Mu Bingmei stared at all of this. She thought she knew Wang Lin's cultivation the best, but at this moment, she found that her understanding of him was really insignificant.
"100 years … I didn't expect him to be this strong!"
Mu Bingmei's gaze fell on Wang Lin. At this moment, he seemed a bit unfamiliar. His white robe and white hair made her feel even more bitter for some reason.
No one here knew Wang Lin's past like she did. It could even be said that she knew half of Wang Lin's life. Everything that Suzaku's avatar had seen. The little cultivator who was forced out of Zhao with his family members killed, the figure who caused rivers of blood to flow in Zhao with hatred.
There was also the man who gradually rose up in Suzaku and became famous in the Rain Celestial Realm. He would eventually become the next son of Rosefinch. At this moment, he was so powerful that he could shake the stars with a stomp of his foot!
Li Qianmei also didn't expect Wang Lin to shock her so much after not seeing him for 100 years. He had killed two people from the Celestial Music Sect, killed Zhao Long of the Mountain Seeking Sect, and easily defeated Yun Shan. Finally, under everyone's gazes, he extracted his planet soul and defeated Du and Yin!
As for Wang Shanshan, she also sucked in a breath of cold air. She was the most familiar with planet soul extraction. She had personally seen her teacher use it. Her teacher had said that there were no more than three people in the Cloud Sea that could extract a planet soul!
After the Astral Soul, there was the Void Soul. This void represented the starry sky. Extracting the astral soul from a constellation was a supreme innate technique of the third step.
She had even heard from her master that there was a legend in the second step of cultivation since ancient times.
This legend talked about the four great spells that second step cultivators could comprehend on their own. Two of these four spells were Spatial Bending and planet soul extraction!
There was no need to learn these spells; one could comprehend them on their own. However, those who could comprehend them were simply too rare.
The silence continued even after Du Lin and Yin Yue left. It was as if no one was willing to break this seemingly eternal silence.
The elders of the Everlasting Sect looked at Wang Lin with awe. They couldn't see through Wang Lin's cultivation, nor could they see through Wang Lin's spells. Whether it was the finger to the sky, the raging fire, or the planet soul extraction that shocked them the most, these elders couldn't help but feel a sense of mystery toward Wang Lin.
They did not know what other Divine Abilities this person possessed, but they had a feeling that all the Divine Abilities he had displayed earlier were far from his limit. There were still too many secrets on this person, and there were still too many surprises and shocking things about him.
"Is there anyone else in the rank 7 region who wants to spar with me?"
Wang Lin waved his right hand and the ancient aura that filled the world slowly dissipated. It was as if it had fused with the earth and returned the extracted soul to the cultivation planet.
The earth trembled slightly and gradually returned to normal. It was as if everything that had happened was just an illusion and didn't exist at all.
However, the rain that descended from the heavens and earth and the lightning that flashed by from time to time clearly reminded all the cultivators here of how true and terrifying that scene was.
Wang Lin's words didn't break the silence. It was as if his voice was the source of the silence. As his voice echoed in the rain, the silence became even stronger.
Absolute silence often gave rise to an invisible pressure. At this moment, the source of this pressure was Wang Lin's figure. His tall figure under his white robe made the pressure even stronger.
No one stood out anymore; they all silently looked at the man standing on the platform. At this moment, Wang Lin's appearance and demeanor were deeply engraved in everyone's hearts. It would accompany them for the rest of their lives, and they would never be able to forget it.
"Fellow Cultivator Lu injured three disciples of my Everlasting Sect that were originally going to participate in the rank 8 sect competition. We need to give the Old Man an explanation!"
An old voice slowly echoed in this silence. It was the Everlasting Sect's sect master. His eyes were like lightning as he stared at Wang Lin and slowly spoke.
His gaze was like two rays of sword energy that shot toward Wang Lin. The moment his gaze locked onto Wang Lin, thunder rumbled in the sky as if it was avoiding him. None of them dared to get close to the platform. Even the rain stopped falling and strangely froze in the air.
It was as if at this moment, everything in the world had stopped!
All of this was because of the white-robed old man's gaze!
Just the power of his gaze could have such a heaven-shaking effect. This was not something a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator could do; only someone who had experienced the Heaven's Blight could do this!
Wang Lin felt it the most. When the gaze locked onto him, he felt like everything in the world had become the other party's. Wherever the gaze passed, the heavens' might would descend.
Before the heavens' might, the Thunder naturally had to avoid it and the rain naturally had to stop. Even Wang Lin's mind trembled under this gaze.
The injuries that had been suppressed in his body showed signs of erupting, but Wang Lin's expression was calm. His eyes lit up and his gaze collided with the white-robed old man's.
Just at this moment, the heavens and earth suddenly rumbled. The rumbling sounds shook the heavens and earth, and a crazy pressure swept out in all directions the moment the two of them focused their gazes on each other.
The cultivators around the platform all felt like they had become lonely boats in the raging waves. They subconsciously activated the origin energy in their bodies. It was as if they would be drowned by this pressure if they didn't do this.
There was a flash of coldness in Li Qianmei's eyes and killing intent erupted from her body. She wanted to fuse with this pressure to help Wang Lin. However, just as her aura was about to spread out, the white-robed old man waved his right hand. The world rumbled and Li Qianmei's aura was pushed back. It was suppressed seven inches from her body and couldn't come out!
Mu Bingmei's eyes became cold and she also activated her origin energy to reveal her Nirvana Shatterer cultivation. Her right hand formed a seal and she was about to attack, but she also felt an irresistible pressure descend on her. Her cultivation was forced to the point where it couldn't be used.
The powerful cultivation of the Everlasting Sect's sect master was revealed to the world. To be able to become the sect master of a sect in the rank 8 region meant that his cultivation was not ordinary!
Mu Bingmei's face was pale. She could feel the killing intent from the Everlasting Sect's sect master. Although she knew that this killing intent was likely fake, she was too worried and couldn't analyze it in detail. Her hand formed a strange seal. This was the inheritance of the Brilliant Void Saintess!
The moment this seal appeared, an illusory glass bottle appeared around Mu Bingmei. It trembled and a thunderous rumble echoed. The pressure that was suppressing her was unexpectedly pushed aside. Her body flickered and she walked out, but her face was even paler.
If she wasn't injured, she could perfectly use this inheritance spell, but now that her body had collapsed and her origin soul had returned, using it by force made her injuries even worse.
This scene shocked the white-robed old man. At this moment, an astonishing aura also erupted from Li Qianmei. It was a monstrous baleful aura that contained a demonic feeling. It was as if a demonic aura had spread out from her body and turned into a world-shaking force that tore apart the white-robed old man's pressure, allowing Li Qianmei to charge out.
There was a jade floating before her. This was what the mysterious person from the Demon Sect had given her before he left!
All of this happened in a flash. The moment Li Qianmei and Mu Bingmei charged out, Wang Lin raised his right foot and took a step forward. With this step, he merged with the world as if he had become one with the planet. An ancient aura filled his body.
"You two don't need to come forward."
As he moved forward, Wang Lin waved his right hand and a powerful force appeared. It gently landed on Li Qianmei and Mu Bingmei, causing them to stop moving forward.
"I've also battled the first Heaven's Blight!"
At this instant, a golden light erupted from Wang Lin's body. This golden light was like the rising sun. It was gentle, but it also contained a ferocious aura that could tear the night apart. The moment it appeared, the Thunder that had dodged before Wang Lin condensed once more. The rain that had stopped trembled as if the world had returned to normal and began to fall again.
A soft exclamation came from the white-robed old man and he stood up. The moment he stood up, the rain collapsed and turned into white gas that rushed into the sky.
"I can help you in the competition between the rank 8 sects, but you have to give me an explanation for the Origin Sect!"
Wang Lin immediately saw through the white-robed old man's thoughts. His killing intent was just an act!
The white-robed old man's eyes lit up and he revealed a smile. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed and he looked into the distance.
A heaven-shaking rumble echoed as a ray of light closed in from the distance. This ray of light contained an aura of neither joy nor sorrow, and as it descended, a low voice came from the sky.
"Do you dare to take one of the Old Man's spells!?"
"High Elder!" The people of the Everlasting Sect all stood up and clasped their hands. Their expressions were extremely respectful.
Wang Lin raised his head and the golden light around him was like the rising sun. He stared at the ray of light, and even his eyes became golden.
"I have three wishes for the Celestial Renegade Book. If there is a spirit in the world, please help me fulfill them.
The first wish is for one month to reach 10,000 votes.
The second wish is for the Hundred Alliance Book.
The third wish is for me to get first place in the monthly votes before the book ends.
"The first wish is very difficult, the second wish is even more difficult, and the third wish is even more difficult.
"However, people always have some expectations and goals. This is my goal.
