"Using the slaughter essence to become a third step cultivator doesn't require the help of Joss Flames. The slaughter essence inside Senior Brother Shimizu's body was planted by that T-colored person, but he didn't take it away. Instead, he left most of it behind, allowing Senior Brother Shimizu to activate the Void Gate!" Wang Lin pondered and instantly analyzed the truth.
"However, why didn't that T-colored person take the slaughter essence … Could it be that his goal wasn't the slaughter essence as I expected … If not for the slaughter essence, then what is it … What does he want from Senior Brother Shimizu?!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like something was wrong. Just at this moment, a thought flashed through his mind and he remembered the thorn that was tilted a few inches from Shimizu's head!
"The top of the head is where life and death meet. The thorn was tilted a few inches, and the seven-colored person said it was the place to start reincarnation … Reincarnation … Reincarnation is illusory. Could it be that the seven-colored person's goal is to let Senior Brother Shimizu enter reincarnation under the slaughter essence … But even so, what is the use …
"Also, he said that he is sure I have nothing to do with him. Does this mean that Senior Brother Shimizu is related to him … If so, what is the connection between them …" Wang Lin was puzzled. He seemed to have grasped something, but it was still vague.
Ever since he went to the Fallen Land and met the Greedy Wolf and obtained the seven-colored statue, Wang Lin had vaguely grasped a layer of fog. Behind this fog was a big secret about the Inner and Outer Realms!
Due to the existence of the fog, Wang Lin couldn't clearly understand this secret until the first battle in the Cloud Sea, when the Old Devil Zhan appeared. His conversation with the Sovereign made Wang Lin speculate endlessly.
In his view, the several battles between the Inner and Outer Realms were all part of this fog, and there were countless connections between them!
"What is this T-shirt guy looking for?"
While pondering, Wang Lin remembered the crystal on the Black Tortoise's back in the Seven-Colored Realm. He had already taken it.
A heaven-shaking rumble interrupted Wang Lin's thoughts. He looked up and saw Shimizu's long hair fluttering in the wind as he pointed toward the Void Gate.
The door rumbled loudly and showed signs of opening as it trembled.
Staring at the Void Gate, Wang Lin's eyes were filled with desire. He wanted to become a third step cultivator. Only when his cultivation was high enough would he be able to learn the secret behind this fog and be qualified to revive Li Muwan!
"Life and Death, Karma, and True and False. I need to reach major success in these three Essences …. It shouldn't be too far off!" Wang Lin's eyes shone with confidence, and his eyes shone like lightning.
"Now that I have two Dao fruits, with one more, I'll have ninety percent confidence in succeeding!
I'm very close to the third step! "
Wang Lin took a deep breath. At this moment, the thunderous rumble echoed once more. With a laugh, Shimizu walked toward the Void Gate.
He waved his hand and monstrous slaughter essence appeared. Black snowflakes gathered like crazy and formed a longsword around his body. Shimizu grabbed the sword and let out a roar as he mercilessly chopped down on the Void Gate!
"Today, this celestial lord will open the Heaven Gate and enter the grand dao!"
The might of this sword shook the heavens and earth. It turned into a black storm of slaughter that carried with it a berserk aura of slaughter as it shot towards the Void Gate.
It was getting closer and closer. In an instant, the black sword energy storm was right outside the Great Void Gate. A loud bang shook the entire Desolate Planet, causing the entire starry sky to tremble.
As the storm collided with the Void Gate, fine cracks appeared on it. Before it could open, a small portion of it collapsed and was forcibly blasted open!
Wang Lin took a deep breath as he looked at Shimizu. The slaughter essence coming from Shimizu's body was stronger than any other essence Wang Lin had seen. This power and aura were extremely shocking!
A small portion of the Void Gate was collapsed by Shimizu's sword and pushed inward. A soft light descended from the gate and shrouded Shimizu's body.
This light had no color and filled the sky. It gathered around Shimizu and rapidly entered his body. This caused Shimizu's aura to increase greatly. In an instant, the aura of an early stage Nirvana Void cultivator shrouded the world.
This aura contained slaughter essence, and countless illusory figures appeared around Shimizu. There were countless figures, and they were all people Shimizu had killed in his life!
The moment these endless illusory figures appeared, they trembled as they looked at Shimizu with fear. They seemed to scream, but no sound came out.
As the silent screams echoed, the illusory figures trembled as they knelt on the ground and worshiped Qing Shui!
However, there was one person who didn't kneel down. She silently looked at Shimizu and revealed a gentle smile.
It was a woman!
Shimizu stared at the woman and two streams of tears flowed down from his eyes. He stretched out his right hand and the woman's smile became even more beautiful. Her gaze was gentle as she slowly walked toward him.
The woman gradually got closer and closer until she stood before Shimizu. She stood in Shimizu's right arm and was hugged by Shimizu.
Tears flowed down from Shimizu's face. He looked at the woman in his arms and began to cry.
He was a dignified Celestial Lord, a third step cultivator with the slaughter essence. When the 10 thorns were pulled out, he was still a tough guy. He endured the unimaginable pain without letting out a roar or shedding a tear. However, at this moment, when he hugged the woman, he cried.
He was like a mortal as he hugged the woman tightly. More and more tears flowed down his face. He hugged her very tightly as if he was afraid that if he let go, this woman would disappear and leave him forever.
The woman bit her lower lip and smiled. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, but the soul had no tears. Even the tears were illusory. One could only see her crying, but there were no tear stains.
This was the sorrow of the soul.
In Shimizu's embrace, the woman smiled silently and wept silently. She slowly lifted her right hand and gently placed it on Shimizu's face, as if she wanted to wipe away Shimizu's tears. However, she couldn't.
The sorrow in Shimizu's eyes would cause anyone to feel heartache. He also lifted his left hand, wanting to touch the woman's hair, but in the end, he couldn't do it either.
He watched as the woman in his arms slowly passed through his arm and retreated. There seemed to be some sort of gravitational force pulling her away. Her body was like smoke, and just like her name, she was slowly fading away.
"He Yan!!!"
Shimizu threw his head back and let out an earth-shattering roar. At this moment, he forgot that he had broken open the Void Gate. He forgot everything. In his eyes, there was only one woman!
His wife, Han Yan!
In order to retrieve his wife's belongings, he didn't hesitate to destroy the world of slaughter. His love for his wife was everything in his life. It was his happiness, but it was also the source of his pain.
Because of the appearance of the Void Gate, his wife's remnant soul formed from the slaughter essence was about to disappear. The image of the beautiful woman he had remembered for tens of thousands of years was about to disappear. This pain caused Shimizu to let out a mournful roar. He rushed forward. He wanted to keep his wife's soul!
Even if he didn't want the third step, even if he had to give up everything, he wanted to keep this soul!
Even though this soul was incomplete and was only a weak projection when the Void Gate appeared … the woman's figure was growing further and further away. The tears in her eyes were no longer visible, but the sorrow on her face was something that no one would ever be able to forget for the rest of their lives.
With sorrow, she continued to smile as she silently looked at Shimizu.
Wang Lin looked at all of this. His right hand reached out and a crack to his storage space opened. More than 10 Ancient Leaves flew out. He didn't know if they could help Shimizu, but he had to try.
When the Ancient Leaves appeared, Wang Lin's hands formed a seal to create 1 million restrictions, causing the Ancient Leaves to become even more powerful. Wang Lin waved his sleeves and the 10 Auspicious Leaves flew forward. He pointed at the dissipating woman and the 10 Auspicious Leaves flew forward.
Wang Lin clenched his teeth and bit the tip of his tongue. He spat out a mouthful of golden blood. This blood was the power of his mortar bloodline, the blood of a celestial!
The moment the golden blood appeared, celestial spiritual energy surrounded the 10 Ancient Leaves, causing them to turn golden. They blindly passed through Shimizu and surrounded the woman!
The woman's body suddenly trembled as a golden aura surrounded her. The dozen or so Ancient Affliction Leaves charged at her and turned into a seal that completely froze her body.
Shimizu hugged the woman, and as tears flowed down his face, he muttered some words. The woman also silently hugged Shimizu for what seemed like an eternity.
After a long time, Shimizu raised his head and waved his left hand, causing an ancient hairpin to appear. This was the item he obtained when he destroyed the world. He slowly placed the hairpin on the woman's head.
Looking at the woman, the sadness in Shimizu's eyes became even stronger. A moment later, he turned to look at Wang Lin, and the gratitude in his eyes was indescribable.
His left hand reached out and the black longsword that had broken open the Void Gate appeared in his hand. With a shake, all the kneeling souls, aside from the woman, were absorbed into the black sword.
An extremely dense Slaughter Origin Aura burst out from the black sword and swept through heaven and earth.
"Wang Lin, this sword was formed by me breaking the Void Gate. It helped me break open the Void Gate and contains the aura of the Void Realm. It contains the slaughter essence of my life, as well as my soul force. It is formed by the slaughter essence. I'll give it to you!
"Refine it and comprehend it, then you will have the slaughter essence!"
Shimizu threw the black sword toward Wang Lin. It floated motionlessly before Wang Lin. Even Wang Lin couldn't help but be shocked by the slaughter essence it released.
This sword was a complete Slaughter Origin that had reached the Advanced Stage!
This sword could be said to be Shimizu's strongest treasure. It was the first treasure he had obtained as a third step cultivator!
Not all third step cultivators could condense an essence treasure when breaking the Void Gate. Those people were extremely rare!
The Fire Sparrow Clan ancestor, Esteemed Nanzhao, Esteemed Teacher Tian Zhao, Zhou Jin, and Ling Dong couldn't do it. Even Master Hongshan and Master South Cloud couldn't do it.
This showed how precious this treasure was!
