The wind howled, the thunder rumbled, and the rain seemed to want to be released at once. It fell on the ground, forming a thick mist of rain. On the ground of the city, there were even circles of fine ripples.
The rain was very heavy, as if there was no end to it. It continued to fall from the sky. Fortunately, there were shallow waterways in the streets of the city, causing most of the rainwater to flow into them. Following the waterways that filled the entire city, it was like a trickle of water flowing into the sea, flowing out of the city.
An entire day quietly passed in the rain. As night fell, there was no longer the liveliness of yesterday. The people who returned home all hid in their houses and didn't go out.
It was night, and no clouds could be seen. However, the rumbling Thunder and the lightning that lit up everything lit up the world as if it was daytime.
The rain was also mixed with the cold wind. As the cold wind blew, the moaning of the rain made it seem as if the raindrops were slanted and fell rapidly on the ground. The strings of wet leaves under the eaves of the houses also drooped down at this moment, shaking violently in the wind and rain. Some of the ropes were not tied tightly and were snapped by the swift and violent cold wind, causing the wet leaves to dance rapidly in the wind and rain like lonely boats in the raging waves.
Part of it was sucked into the sky, drawing circles in the air before disappearing into the darkness. Another part fell into the mud on the street, stained with muddy water, as if it was struggling to fly up again with the wind. However, just as it was about to do so, it was stepped on by a foot wearing a Taoist boot. It fell back into the mud and … could no longer struggle free.
The Thunder roared at this moment, and what followed was the lightning that lit up the world. During this short period of light, an old man wearing a Daoist robe stood on the street on the west side of the city. His eyes were like torches, and he had his hands behind his back!
There was a leaf under his right foot, and half of it was exposed. It was moving with the wind as it struggled in the mud … There was a strange pattern between his eyebrows!
Behind him were seven middle-aged cultivators with cold gazes. The old man waved his right hand and the seven of them moved forward. They surrounded the old man and formed seals with their hands. In an instant, ghostly light came from their hands and turned into a lightning-like line that connected with the old man's body.
This scene was exactly the same as the pattern between the old man's eyebrows!
It was as if the old man had become the center, and there were seven rays of light coming from his body.
The old man closed his eyes and opened them a moment later. The moment he opened his eyes, the light from the mark between his eyebrows spread out like crazy and formed a fan shape!
At the same time, the ghostly light from the marks of the seven people around him gave off a powerful light. This light gathered and rushed into the old man's body, causing the light from the mark between his eyebrows to become even brighter!
As the mark between his eyebrows swept across, all the houses in the mortal world before the old man changed in an instant!
Those houses seemed to go back in time. They went from being dilapidated to being brand new, and as they were brand new, they suddenly changed and turned into ruins.
Not only did the houses turn back time, even the mortals inside the houses became younger under the old man's gaze. A moment later, they disappeared one by one, as if they had never existed in this world!
Some of the people who had lived here and died long ago came back to life under the old man's gaze. Scenes from when they were alive appeared before the old man's gaze.
Wang Lin had been sitting inside the house this entire time. The devouring of his origin soul and the eternal Thunder had reached the most critical moment. The will inside the eternal Thunder was struggling like crazy, just like the roaring Thunder outside.
However, no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't break out of Wang Lin's body. After his origin soul had fused with the eight ancient Thunder Dragons, it had also turned into Thunder. As it continued to collide and devour, it was like when the world was first formed. The two eternal Thunder were fighting for control of the world's Thunder. Only by devouring the other could one truly become the king that could control the world's thunder and lightning!
But just at this moment, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a flash of light. His expression was calm as he waved his right hand. Immediately, everything in the house started to distort like a mirror. As the distortions continued, cracks appeared on the mirror. In the end, with a crack, the mirror shattered into countless pieces, causing everything to shatter.
After doing all of this, Wang Lin closed his eyes once more and ignored the outside world. He entered a meditative state once more and began the final devouring of the eternal Thunder.
In the heavy rain, the eyes of the old man in the Taoist robe flickered as he looked around. When his gaze landed on the house Wang Lin was hiding in, he didn't stop. As the house disappeared, the scholar inside also disappeared, and the figures of all the people who had once lived in the house appeared.
After a long time, the old man's gaze swept past the entire western part of the city.
After finding nothing, the old man's expression was calm. His hands formed a seal and pointed to between his eyebrows. He let out a roar and his clan mark shined brighter.
The light from the mark between his eyebrows shined even brighter. When the old man looked over, the entire western side of the city had disappeared. It was as if time itself was moving. Soon, an ancient battlefield appeared before the old man's eyes. Countless mortal armies were fighting here, and the earth was dyed dark red.
The old man suddenly closed his eyes and the light from his clan mark slowly dissipated until it returned to normal.
The seven cultivators around him also withdrew their marks, and their faces were slightly pale.
"There are no cultivators hiding here. Let's move to another place and continue searching!"
The old man waved his sleeves and jumped into the air. He broke through the dark clouds and flew off into the distance. The seven cultivators quickly followed.
The same scene wasn't just happening on this cultivation planet; it was happening on all the cultivation planets in the Ancient Star System!
Under the command of the Ancient Star System, all the clans obeyed the command and began a meticulous search. The cultivation planets, the abandoned planets, the endless stars, and the people of the Ancient Star System formed a large net!
Wang Lin's expression was calm, and his expression didn't change when they left. He didn't even open his eyes. The roar of the eternal Thunder in his mind became weaker and weaker, and the struggle became weaker and weaker!
The sky was filled with clouds, and the rain did not seem to be decreasing. In this rainy night, even the night watchman did not appear. Other than the sound of thunder and rain, there was no other sound.
The two strands of Thunder inside Wang Lin's origin soul continued to collide until they finally fused together. The eternal Thunder let out an unwilling roar, and it was completely devoured by the Thunder formed by Wang Lin's origin soul.
The moment the eternal Thunder was completely devoured, the will inside was refined by Wang Lin's origin soul and fused with his own divine sense. At this moment, the Thunder formed by his origin soul trembled. He clearly felt the thunder essence inside his origin soul increase at an unimaginable speed.
This increase was indescribable. In an instant, just this Thunder essence caused Wang Lin's cultivation level to break through the mid stage of Nirvana Shatterer and reach the late stage of Nirvana Shatterer!
As the thunder essence rumbled, if Wang Lin used the power of Thunder, his cultivation level would reach the late stage of Nirvana Shatterer!
Essence was the foundation of all laws and domains. Once one understood the essence, they would be able to completely understand the law of thunder. Without any domain restrictions, the increase in one's cultivation level would be unheard of!
After devouring the will inside the eternal Thunder, Wang Lin's body rumbled and images appeared inside the will. These were the memories of the eternal Thunder, the memories of that will!
Perhaps due to the passage of time, the memories were already fragmented and incomplete. Only three scenes appeared!
The first image was a scene of collapse. It was a scene of a star system collapsing. Countless star systems and star systems were boundless, countless times larger than the Inner and Outer Realms. This collapse was like a catastrophe!
As it collapsed, countless lives perished. Wang Lin saw cultivators wearing strange clothes and strange beasts. He even saw mosquito beasts the size of cultivation planets that gave off a black glow!
He also saw the Ji Qiong with many heads!
However, just as he was about to continue watching, a bolt of thunder charged out from the collapse as if it was trying to escape. It flashed by in a flash!
This was the first image. It was very short, but the shock it brought to Wang Lin was like a huge wave!
That earth-shattering bolt of lightning was the eternal Thunder!
However, it was countless times more powerful than when Wang Lin devoured it!
In the second image, a bolt of Thunder was moving in the hand of a middle-aged man. He had an indifferent expression and there was a flower pattern between his eyebrows. This flower had seven petals, representing seven colors.
"It's a pity that this ancient Void God Thunder can't recover even after countless years … Forget it, I'll send you out. Let's see your luck."
The middle-aged man shook his head and waved his right hand. The bolt of Thunder rumbled and disappeared.
In the third image, the Scatter Thunder Clan's holy land. Above the temple, there was a bolt of Thunder that connected the heavens and earth. It was as if it had existed for an eternity and would never be destroyed even if the heavens collapsed.
There were eight cultivators floating around the bolt of Thunder. One of them was an old man, and there was a lightning mark between his eyebrows!
The other seven wore strange clothes as if they were made of an unknown material. They glowed as if they were wearing rivers on their bodies!
In particular, one of the people standing at the front was clearly the leader of this group. The old man from the Scatter Thunder Clan looked at this person with respect and a hint of fear.
There was a golden line around this person. This golden line was very familiar to Wang Lin!
"I didn't expect it to be here … What a pity, what a pity …" The leader shook his head and turned around. The moment he turned around, a rumble echoed in Wang Lin's mind. His pupils shrank and he was startled for a moment!
"He … He is …"
