Wang Lin's words were as cold as frost and froze the burly man from the Heavenly Wolf Clan. His forehead was covered in sweat as he stared at the nine drops of black poison surrounding him.
With his cultivation level, he could clearly feel that these nine drops of poison contained an unimaginable amount of poison. Just one drop was enough to corrode his body and origin soul, leaving nothing behind.
What made his scalp go numb was that the nine drops of venom were filled with too many Joss Flame Souls. These Joss Flames had been poisoned and turned into Poison Souls. They were forcefully refined and sealed in the venom, and they emitted boundless resentment and the urge to destroy the world.
He didn't dare to move, not at all. Today's battle had been too fast, and the twists and turns were shocking. He didn't expect Ling Dong to appear, and he didn't expect Ling Dong to take half a step!
If that was it, it wouldn't be a big deal. After the Ancient Leaves sealed most of his path, he could still resist. However, the appearance of these nine drops of poison almost caused his mind to collapse.
The terrifying aura of the venom caused goosebumps to appear on Zhou Jin's skin.
Seeing Zhou Jin trapped and his face pale, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he slowly said, "Ling Dong."
Esteemed Ling Dong stepped forward and stopped 100 feet from Wang Lin. He knelt down on one knee and asked, "Master, do you want to kill him or refine him?"
"Master!!"
When Zhou Jin heard these two words, he was startled and almost couldn't believe his eyes. Third step cultivators were the strongest existences in the universe. There were very few of them, and each one was a famous person. How could such people recognize someone as their master? There was no need for them to recognize someone who hadn't even reached the third step as their master!
"Refine!"
Wang Lin waved his hand and the inside of the Emperor Furnace changed. The 18 Ancient Leaves quickly flew out and sealed the Emperor Furnace. The souls inside began to refine Ling Dong.
With Wang Lin's help, Esteemed Ling Dong stepped into the Poison Sea Realm from the Joss Flame Realm. He sat cross-legged in midair and assisted in the slave refinement!
This Heavenly Wolf Clan's Zhou Jin was different from Ling Dong back then. He was a true third step almighty, and it was not easy to refine him into a slave. Even with Dream Dao techniques, one had to exhaust the other party's mental power to increase the chance of success.
Now, Zhou Jin was suppressed inside the Emperor Furnace, guarded by Esteemed Ling Dong, and sealed by the Ancient Leaves. Most importantly, there were nine drops of poison around him. Wang Lin was confident that he would not be able to escape.
There were only nine drops of venom, and he didn't want to waste them. This thing had already played its greatest role in the siege.
Wang Lin also didn't intend to kill Zhou Jin with poison. If he could refine Zhou Jin into an ancient slave, then once Wang Lin returned to the Inner Realm, he would have two third step almighty slaves. If his archenemy, Daoist Water, saw this, he would immediately escape in terror.
Wang Lin's ancient god stars appeared between his eyebrows and the Emperor Furnace returned. He floated in the air and looked at the ground below.
The forest was filled with withered trees. At this moment, the inside of the forest was empty. There were only about a hundred trees in the periphery. In the center of the forest, the vortex that Greed had used to leave the ancient tomb was not affected at all. It was still floating there.
After pondering a bit, Wang Lin originally intended to take this forest along with the ancient god skull. However, he wasn't sure if the vortex would dissipate. If it dissipated, it wouldn't be worth it.
This vortex was very important to Wang Lin.
He scanned it with his divine sense. Although he didn't know if he would be teleported to the Ancient Star System through the vortex, he could see that it indeed had a teleportation function.
A moment later, Wang Lin didn't act rashly. His hands formed a seal and a large amount of restrictions appeared. They flew into the sky and formed layers of seals.
It took several days for Wang Lin to completely seal this place. Then he turned around and left the world the forest was in.
When he reappeared, he was inside the fog of the Ancient Tomb. He once again used restrictions to seal the area from the outside. Only then did he relax. He had placed many restrictions on the outside of the forest, sealing it completely. Even if someone accidentally obtained an Ancient Leaf, they wouldn't be able to break through it in a short period of time, and it would be very dangerous.
Wang Lin was very confident in his restrictions. After sealing it, his eyes lit up and the Flowing Moon Gate appeared. The passage of time added more time to the Flowing Moon Gate, causing the power of the seal to increase once more.
After doing all of this, Wang Lin's gaze fell on the rank 5 platform of the burly man from the Heavenly Wolf Clan. He waved his hand and the platform rumbled. A large amount of runes flew out toward Wang Lin.
The moment these runes closed in, Wang Lin took out his rank 5 platform and began to absorb them. The platform trembled violently and expanded to 60,000 feet in the blink of an eye. Wang Lin felt the familiar divine sense rush into his mind.
The map in his mind changed once more!
At this instant, a majestic voice echoed in Wang Lin's mind. "Rank 9 is the end … I have the Heaven, Earth, and Human palaces … The Human Palace has the Benevolence Sword. This sword has accompanied me for a lifetime of slaughter and is the most ferocious sword in the world … Because of all the slaughter, I left three seals on it …"
After the voice dissipated, Wang Lin's expression was calm. A moment later, his eyes lit up and he controlled the 60,000 foot platform to fly forward and disappear into the fog.
Along the way, Wang Lin could vaguely feel the auras of several other platforms ahead. These platforms were all rank 5 or above, and they were far ahead of Wang Lin.
According to Wang Lin's analysis, the one in front had even reached the eighth map.
"There are nine maps. The meaning of Ancient Dao Hua Mo's words doesn't seem to be about who is the fastest to enter the ninth map, but the first to reach the rank 9 platform...
"With my current speed, I can't be faster than those before me …" Wang Lin sat on the platform and began to ponder. After a long time, he touched his forehead and his eyes shined brightly.
"Everyone in this tomb has a number mark, only I don't … If that Tuo Sen came here, he also wouldn't have a number mark …
"I'm an ancient god, so I don't need a number mark to enter … Then what exactly is this number mark …" Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he seemed to have grasped something. He lowered his head and his right hand hit the platform. A number mark appeared and he grabbed it.
Since entering the Ancient Order Tomb, Wang Lin had been on the passive side. He was being controlled by the force here and had to follow its will. Even the giant hand seemed to be controlled by someone.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable. This was the first time Wang Lin had carefully observed this extremely important number mark. Staring at it, Wang Lin gradually frowned.
Time slowly passed. Wang Lin allowed the platform to move forward. He passed through the fifth map and entered the sixth map. He had changed hundreds of runes in his hand, and he carefully observed each one.
"These runes contain a very strange force. The purpose of this force is to allow people to exist here for a short period of time … If I don't have this rune …" Wang Lin's right hand reached at the void and the girl from the Sealing Extermination Clan appeared before Wang Lin.
Although this girl's clan mark had been taken away by Wang Lin, there was still a mark on her forehead. This mark was the number mark.
The girl's eyes were closed as if she was sleeping. Wang Lin stared at her forehead for a long time before raising his right hand. Ancient god power filled his palm as he gently touched the girl's forehead.
The girl's body trembled. After Wang Lin moved his hand away, the number mark was still there.
Wang Lin pondered for a while before opening his storage space and taking out the Ancient Soul Bottle. He slapped it with his right hand, and the soul of an ancient devil flew out. The moment the ancient devil soul appeared, Wang Lin grabbed it and crushed it. The devil soul immediately died and turned into a ball of ancient devil power that surrounded Wang Lin's right hand. Wang Lin's eyes lit up. The ancient god power in his body surged and filled his right hand, fusing with the ancient devil power.
Time passed slowly, but the fusion was not perfect. It was as if something was missing.
"Ancient demon power …" Wang Lin's eyes became brighter and brighter. He grabbed the air with his left hand and a gourd flew out from his storage space. This gourd was given to him by the cultivators in the first sealed area to save their lives.
At that time, Wang Lin's divine sense swept over it and knew that it was an ancient demon treasure. It contained a small amount of ancient demon power.
Now that he took it out, he knocked it with his left hand without hesitation. Immediately, demonic qi rumbled out of the gourd. The demonic qi condensed and was enveloped by Wang Lin's left hand. He took out a part of it and pressed it against the ancient demon power and ancient god power that were fusing.
The auras of the three ancient clans gathered in an instant and fused completely in Wang Lin's right hand, forming a unique power. This power far surpassed that of the ancient god, ancient demon, and ancient devil powers. Holding this power, Wang Lin felt like he was holding the world.
Without hesitation, he lifted his right hand and touched the spot between the eyebrows of the girl from the Sealing Extermination Clan. The girl suddenly opened her eyes and let out a scream. The number mark between her eyebrows was erased by Wang Lin's palm!
Without the number symbol, the girl's body trembled violently. The fog around her seemed to be boiling as it rushed toward the girl from all directions. It was as if the girl's existence had created a strong conflict with the laws of the ancient tomb. It caused a series of drastic changes in the ancient tomb that wanted to erase this change that shouldn't exist!
This change was too sudden, and even Wang Lin didn't expect it. In an instant, the fog spread like crazy. In an instant, the girl was surrounded by the fog and disappeared before Wang Lin.
