On a platform not far from the skinny cultivator, there was a cultivator who looked completely different from him. This cultivator was very large and looked like a ball. He had a kind smile on his face and was wearing a robe with a flat hat on his head.
He was holding a very small abacus in his hand, and as he moved it, crisp popping sounds could be heard.
"It's not worth it, it's not worth it …" The fat cultivator shook his head, and the flesh on his face trembled. As he muttered to himself, he waved his hand and countless restrictions appeared. They landed on the crazed cultivators who were charging at him. Every time the restrictions landed, the cultivators would tremble as if they had been sealed, and then they would fall into the sea of fog below.
Although there were only 28 platforms left, seven of them had been successfully broken into by cultivators from the outer regions. After a series of battles, they were finally seized!
To be able to successfully steal in this kind of environment meant that they were not ordinary people.
These seven platforms that had been successfully stolen also caught Wang Lin's attention. What surprised him was that the fourth Heaven's Blight old man that had fled was one of them.
The other five people weren't weak and came from different clans. They were ferocious like gods of slaughter.
There was one person who had it the easiest. She was an old woman in a green robe. Her face was covered in pimples and she looked extremely terrifying. Wherever she went, she didn't seem to use any spells, but all the cultivators nearby were filled with confusion.
The platform she had her eye on had been occupied by a dozen or so cultivators. However, as the old woman approached, their eyes filled with confusion, and they began to back away from the platform. Even the previous owner of the platform retreated, allowing the old woman to sit down on the platform.
The fog sea rumbled and more and more pillars of fog appeared. All the fighting seemed to have ended the moment it started.
There were only 28 platforms left in this area without any protection. The hundreds of cultivators on the outside had all died. Their bodies had either collapsed into flesh and blood or sunk into the fog sea.
Although the scene just now was short, it was an extremely cruel elimination. More than ninety percent of the hundreds of cultivators had died, leaving only twenty-eight people.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to cultivate. He was using the flesh and blood of the cultivators he had devoured to heal himself.
Until now, he hadn't revealed too many of his trump cards. Whether it was his identity as an Ethereal Fire cultivator, his powerful spells, or even his magic treasures, he hadn't used them yet.
This place was filled with danger, and it was even more strange and unpredictable. Moreover, not all of the danger came from the tomb, but also from the surrounding cultivators. They hid themselves a bit, making themselves seem mysterious and unfathomable. When the time came, establishing their might was the most effective method.
All of the cultivators on the platforms let out sighs of relief and began to do some breathing exercises.
However, there was an undercurrent that caused most of them to warily observe each other as they breathed in and out.
Although the battle just now was short, everyone was able to see each other's Mystic Abilities.
Just like how Wang Lin had paid attention to the few people before, many cultivators also paid attention to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin had cleanly killed six people in a row, which was enough to make everyone pay attention to him. That roar had suppressed all other sounds and even destroyed a Heaven's Blight cultivator's body. This kind of spell made everyone look at Wang Lin with vigilance.
"This person didn't reveal much of his spell in the battle just now, so I couldn't tell …" The man in purple with the giant fish behind him looked at Wang Lin with a gloomy expression.
"The power of one roar caused his spell to collapse and his body to dissipate. It looks like this person's spell is related to sound …" One of the fierce cultivators who had successfully snatched a platform looked at Wang Lin with hostility in his eyes.
"Others only noticed his viciousness and the power of that roar, but they forgot that when he killed, he devoured the blood mist … This kind of devilish spell has appeared a lot in the Ancient Star System in recent years …" The fat official smiled as he looked at Wang Lin and the abacus in his hand made clicking sounds.
"He must want to kill me … I need to find a helper as soon as possible …" The girl from the Sealing Extermination Clan bit her lower lip and her face turned pale. The fear in her eyes became even stronger.
"I can't provoke this person. He didn't kill me just now, so I owe him a favor …" The fourth Heaven's Blight cultivator that Wang Lin had let go lowered his head and fear filled his eyes. The battle just now was still fresh in his memory.
The long-haired woman in white silently withdrew her gaze from the distance and looked back at Wang Lin. A moment later, she looked away. Her expression was calm, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Just as everyone was secretly looking at each other and healing, the surroundings gradually calmed down. The churning of the fog sea seemed to have calmed down.
After a short period of recovery, some cultivators got up and charged at the treasure before the ancient god's head.
Wang Lin opened his eyes and his right hand reached at the void. The 30-foot flag before the ancient god's head flew into his hand. He scanned it with his divine sense. This was an ancient god treasure, but it wasn't an excellent one.
After calmly putting it away, Wang Lin stood up.
However, just at this moment, a huge change occurred!
The twenty-eight platforms began to tremble, and the dark sky once again began to roar. Lightning crackled, as if the sky were about to be ripped apart. Next, the faces of the surrounding cultivators flickered as the twenty-eight platforms began to tremble violently.
As they trembled, the 28 platforms suddenly sank. The speed at which they sank was extremely fast and didn't give the cultivators any time to react. In an instant, they sank more than 100,000 feet!
The wind howled outside the platforms as the 28 platforms rapidly descended. A tearing feeling appeared in the bodies of the cultivators on the platforms. It was as if even their blood was going to be thrown out by this rapid descent.
However, the cultivators who survived the first wave of slaughter were naturally strong-willed. Even in the face of this sudden change, no one cried out. Instead, they firmly maintained their bodies on the platform and continued to descend at a rapid pace.
The sky was getting farther and farther away from them. The countless platforms that hadn't activated their defenses gradually became black dots in everyone's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the 28 descending platforms entered deep into the fog. The fog rumbled and rolled around the platforms until it completely submerged them.
Wang Lin's gaze was serious as he watched the fog surround him. He could clearly feel that the platform he was on was falling into hell as it continued to descend without end.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a loud bang and the platform stopped descending. The surroundings were filled with fog and nothing could be seen.
Just at this moment, a sense of danger suddenly filled Wang Lin's body. He suddenly turned around and waved his right hand. The fog behind him tumbled back, revealing the face of a ferocious beast. It was a humanoid beast covered in pustules. The beast's nails were slender and sharp. Its body had been hit by Wang Lin's palm, so it quickly retreated and hid in the fog.
At the same time, a miserable scream came from not far away. It was clear that someone in their group had been successfully ambushed.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He recognized this beast!
Although this beast's appearance was different, it gave Wang Lin the same feeling as the strange thing that charged out from the ancient god's head in the Demon Spirit Land!
As he let out a cold snort, Wang Lin waved his hand and a gust of wind blew the fog away. There were many cultivators that did the same thing as him. Almost everyone immediately used spells to scatter the fog. In the blink of an eye, all the fog within hundreds of thousands of feet was forced back, leaving the area empty!
There were three spots on the 28 platforms that were empty.
A cold aura spread out from the cultivators' bodies. Everything within hundreds of thousands of feet was covered in fog, making it impossible to see through. Up, down, left, right, everything was surrounded by fog.
A series of whimpering roars came faintly from the surrounding fog. Then, under the gaze of Wang Lin and the others, strange figures suddenly appeared in the fog.
One by one, humanoid ferocious beasts could be vaguely seen in the mist. At a glance, it was impossible to tell how many there were!
All around, it was everywhere!
"Fellow cultivators, it doesn't matter which tribe you are from. Now that we have arrived here and been teleported to the same place, it can be considered fate. We should not hold back in the face of the danger before us … This old woman is familiar with the ancient texts and knows a little about this ancient tomb. We are currently only at the outer perimeter of the tomb. Only those who survive will have the qualifications to enter the tomb …" The hoarse voice of the old woman, who had caused all the cultivators to reveal perplexed expressions wherever she passed, was slowly being emitted.
The moment he finished speaking, the humanoid beasts in the fog began to roar madly. All of them charged out of the fog toward the 25 cultivators on the 28 platforms!
This scene shook everyone's hearts. There were no less than thousands of fierce beasts!
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He saw tyrannical emotions inside these fierce beasts. These emotions were the fuse that ignited Ethereal Fire!
Ethereal Fire cultivators were extremely mysterious existences in both the Inner and Outer Realms, and very few cultivators could encounter them. However, the terrifying and clear signs of Ethereal Fire cultivators were very famous in the Ancient Star System!
Because this kind of cultivator was rarely seen in tens of thousands of years, it was rumored that Ethereal Fire cultivators were as powerful as third-step cultivators!
The various rumors about Ethereal Fire cultivators filled the hearts of all the cultivators in the Ancient Star System. They were all powerful cultivators, so they had all heard those terrifying rumors.
Rumor had it that an Ethereal Fire cultivator could destroy an army with a wave of his hand … Rumor had it that the gaze of an Ethereal Fire cultivator could ignite all emotions and make them irresistible … Rumor had it that Ethereal Fire cultivators were like nightmares that could ignite the emotions of their enemies and burn them to death … Rumor had it that when an Ethereal Fire cultivator became angry, he could ignite the anger of everyone and become the only person standing among the mountains of corpses … Rumor … Rumor … Rumor … Aside from the girl from the Sealing Extermination Clan, no one knew, not even the woman in white. The rumored Ethereal Fire cultivator was hidden among them … Ethereal Fire cultivators couldn't be seen when they weren't being used...
