Wang Lin had only been in the spatial crack for a short period of time, but everything that happened in this short period of time brought indescribable shock to the thousands of cultivators outside the spatial crack.
The fierce beasts were destroyed, the skeletons were destroyed, the spatial crack was torn open, and Nine Hells was taken in. Not only was he not at a disadvantage in the battle with the high and mighty Demon Sect elder, but he had an overwhelming aura that caused the Demon Sect elder to unknowingly suffer a hidden injury!
All of this was seen by the thousands of cultivators outside the spatial crack, and they were all horrified!
That white robe and white hair were deeply engraved in the minds of these thousands of cultivators and would never be erased.
For the cultivators of the Cloud Sea, the world inside the spatial crack outside the Demon Sect was both familiar and unfamiliar. They were familiar with the war that had lasted for a long time, but they were unfamiliar with where it led to and where the end was.
Ever since the Demon Sect had existed, it wasn't that no powerful cultivators had entered the spatial crack to investigate. However, the news they obtained was that the spatial crack was too big, like another star system. With the power of a few people, it was impossible to find the entire range.
Out of 100 people that entered, less than three would return. The rest would either die or go missing.
Despite this, the Demon Sect never gave up. Every once in a while, they would send people into the spatial crack.
Through this method, which had a high chance of death, over the countless years, they slowly found a passage. Li Qianmei became the explorer who entered the crack. She went to the end of the passage and opened it again. She would either come out alive and bring back new information, or she would disappear without a trace and become one of the cultivators who died or went missing.
Wang Lin withdrew his divine sense from the jade in his hand and looked at the dark world without any light. Even with his cultivation, he could only see about 1,000 feet around him. Beyond that, it was a blur and he couldn't see anything.
"The path in the jade is the path that the Demon Sect has paid a great price to obtain over the countless years. It is also the path that Li Qianmei is heading to. However, the world inside the crack is too big. Even the path in the jade probably doesn't reach the true depths."
Wang Lin stood on the head of the Nine Abyss Dragon. The dragon was extremely fast in this pitch-black world. Its body, which was tens of thousands of feet long, was like a strange bolt of Thunder. It was strange because the Nine Abyss Dragon was silent as it moved forward. There was no rumbling sound, nor was there any whistling sound caused by its speed.
The Nine Abyss Dragon continued to flash through the world crack.
It didn't dare to resist Wang Lin's orders and directions at all. It had clearly seen Wang Lin's strength from before. The Nine Abyss Dragon couldn't resist the power of the Demon Sect elder, but the Demon Sect elder had been defeated by the person above its head. This made the Nine Abyss Dragon even more afraid of Wang Lin.
Wang Lin sat on the head of the Nine Abyss Dragon and silently looked around. He seemed to be able to completely integrate into this dark world without any discomfort.
After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings were no longer silent and the faint roars of fierce beasts came from the distance.
Because the roars of these fierce beasts were too far away, it sounded like there were people breathing next to one's ear. It wasn't one person, but countless … This strange feeling made all the Cloud Sea cultivators who entered the spatial crack for the first time vigilant. However, for Wang Lin, this didn't make his expression change at all.
He sat there calmly, still looking forward. His memories stopped at the ten years he had spent in the Heaven Defying Bead world, when he didn't have a physical body to feel anything, and when he didn't know what was happening in the outside world for ten years … and when he was in the Heaven Defying Bead world.
If there was no blood light, perhaps Wang Lin's soul would have dissipated forever inside the Heaven Defying Bead. He remembered that at the beginning, he was very cold and slowly weakened … It wasn't until the blood light appeared that he slowly regained his consciousness and memories.
It was because of the blood light that he was able to find the Lord of the Sealed Realm and obtain the fortune to enter the dao realm and comprehend his first dao spell.
"Dream dao … This is what I comprehended in the dao realm. It is my third spell after Sundered Night and Flowing Moon. It is a dao spell …"
Wang Lin let out a sigh. The more he recalled the words of the old woman in white and the more he thought about the 10 years of blood light inside the Heaven Defying Bead, the more he felt he owed Li Qianmei.
Time slowly passed as Wang Lin reminisced. Nothing seemed to have changed inside the spatial crack. No matter where he was, it was still dark.
The only difference was that when Wang Lin looked up, there were more and more vague beasts 1,000 feet away. If this dark world became bright, any cultivator would feel their scalp go numb and be terrified!
Wang Lin raised his right hand and all the origin energy in his body gathered in his palm. There was a flash of golden light that broke the silence. This golden light flew out from Wang Lin's right hand like a meteor and continued to rise. A moment later, it exploded into a bright light that shrouded the surrounding 100,000 feet!
The moment this light appeared, the roars of fierce beasts came from the surroundings. With the help of the light, Wang Lin could clearly see that thousands of feet away, there were many fierce beasts surrounding him and the Nine Abyss Dragon. There were no less than tens of thousands of fierce beasts!
They seemed to be extremely sensitive to light. The moment the dark world lit up, these fierce beasts roared and quickly retreated.
The dazzling golden light was soon drowned by the darkness, causing the world inside the spatial crack to become dark once more.
The Nine Abyss Dragon was one of the king beasts inside the spatial crack, so it naturally had the aura of a king beast. When this aura spread out, the surrounding fierce beasts didn't dare to get close, which was why Wang Lin was able to walk all the way here.
All the fierce beasts along the way should have retreated when they encountered the Nine Abyss Dragon, but because of Wang Lin's existence, these fierce beasts began to struggle. This was why they slowly gathered but didn't get too close.
The light allowed Wang Lin to clearly see all the fierce beasts around him. Although there were many fierce beasts, most of them were rank 8 or rank 9. There weren't many above rank 10.
When the light dissipated, Wang Lin was sitting on the head of the Nine Abyss Dragon. His expression was calm, and his divine sense spread out. The Nine Abyss Dragon seemed to be stimulated by his divine sense and let out a heaven-shaking roar. This roar turned into a thunderous rumble that echoed violently in the dark world.
The Nine Abyss Dragon suddenly sped up and charged forward. The surrounding fierce beasts immediately retreated and opened up a path. The Nine Abyss Dragon was like a meteor as it broke through the herd of fierce beasts and continued to move deeper into the spatial crack.
It was difficult to feel the passage of time in the world inside the spatial crack. There was no day here, only darkness. As the Nine Abyss Dragon went deeper, Wang Lin's eyes gradually became more serious.
Although he could still only see 1,000 feet ahead, he slowly found that this place was different. As he went deeper, the color of this dark world seemed to change. It was no longer black, but purple!
The Nine Abyss Dragon became slower and slower as it moved forward. There was a faint tremble coming from its soul. It was as if this purple world was extremely terrifying to it.
If it wasn't for Wang Lin's divine sense surrounding its body, the Nine Abyss Dragon would have trembled and wouldn't dare to go any deeper. It would have turned around and left this place.
Even the large amount of fierce beasts that had followed the Nine Abyss Dragon thousands of feet away retreated and didn't dare to go any deeper. However, the number of fierce beasts didn't decrease and instead increased. These fierce beasts were the beasts that lived in this purple world.
Wang Lin naturally noticed the abnormality of the Nine Abyss Dragon, and his eyes lit up. Although the passage of time wasn't obvious, Wang Lin had secretly calculated the distance he had traveled based on his speed. According to his analysis, he was at the edge of the purple spatial crack.
This place was very close to the end of the passage marked on the jade.
Sitting on the head of the Nine Abyss Dragon, Wang Lin closed his eyes and silently sensed his surroundings. He gradually felt some residual fluctuations here, as if someone had used a spell not long ago.
Wang Lin had come all the way here, but there was still some distance ahead. He didn't know if he had gone the right way, and he didn't find any clues related to Li Qianmei. After entering the spatial crack, he vaguely felt a few extremely powerful auras. These auras seemed to notice Wang Lin, but strangely, they didn't stop him.
This was the first time he had felt the fluctuations of Li Qianmei. Although these fluctuations were residual, they were real, and they weren't from fierce beasts, but from cultivators!
"Li Qianmei … Is that you …" Wang Lin opened his eyes and there was a flash of light. His hands formed a seal and he mercilessly pointed to the spot between his eyebrows. A powerful force rushed into his forehead, causing his origin soul to tremble violently.
As his origin soul trembled, the residual fluctuations of the spell changed strangely. In Wang Lin's eyes, the world seemed to change. The darkness was no longer there and was replaced by lines that connected horizontally and vertically.
"Flowing Time … Reversal …" Wang Lin's eyes shined brightly and pierced through the darkness. The lines suddenly moved as if they were lining up. Under his gaze, the void before him seemed to carry the passage of time, and under a strange force, time began to reverse.
Slowly, the void seemed to distort and the figure of a woman in white appeared. Her face was extremely pale and there was a shocking amount of blood on her clothes. She held a longsword in her hand and there was a golden pen around her as she rushed through the void.
