Wang Lin's heart pounded. He was shocked by his bold guess. As he stared at the last rune on the door, Wang Lin let out a deep breath.
This rune seal contained celestial and ancient aura, and it was filled with rejection force. However, because of this round rune, the rejection force didn't erupt and caused the door to collapse. Instead, it was used as a seal.
The ingenuity and strangeness of this rune shocked Wang Lin even more!
This rune was tantamount to opening a door for him, a path to dissipate the repulsive force in his body!
"This kind of rune restriction fused with celestial and ancient aura. There are simply too few people in the world that can open it … Unless it's like what I'm doing!"
Wang Lin's eyes revealed a look of deduction, and after a long time, he let out a sigh. He couldn't help but feel a sense of complexity and absurdity. He felt like there was a cycle of reincarnation that was intertwined with each other.
Back then, he had left from Suzaku. If he hadn't gone to the Demon Spirit Land, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Luo Tian Star System.
If he hadn't gone to the Luo Tian Star System, he wouldn't have known about the Nether Beast and entered its body.
If he hadn't known about the Nether Beast, he wouldn't have had the thought of refining it into his life beast.
If he hadn't known about the Nether Beast, he wouldn't have been swallowed by the Nether Beast to heal. He wouldn't have met that madman, and he wouldn't have obtained the celestial bloodline. Similarly, there wouldn't have been that rejection force.
Now he had returned to Suzaku, returned to where he first took his first step, returned to the starting point.
However, at the starting point, he found that if one of the steps went wrong, he would never have been able to open the 19th layer … He was the only person in the world that could open this seal. This made Wang Lin feel regret and confused.
After a long time, Wang Lin gently shook his head and no longer thought about this absurd matter. His eyes lit up and he slowly raised his right hand. He didn't use his celestial bloodline or his Ancient Dao bloodline. Instead, he moved the rejection force between the celestial and ancient powers to his right index finger!
In an instant, when Wang Lin felt intense pain in his body, it was as if a soft sword was twisting and stabbing through his body. It pierced through his right arm and crushed his flesh, meridians, and even his bones trembled. The rejection force gathered on his index finger.
Wang Lin's index finger trembled and a large amount of sweat appeared on his forehead. After gasping for a bit, he used his great determination to stop his index finger from trembling under this intense pain. Instead, his index finger was extremely stable and didn't tremble at all.
Wang Lin's right index finger slowly reached toward the circle on the door and gently touched it. The moment his finger landed, the rejection force inside Wang Lin's body erupted as if it had sensed its companion, and it roared through Wang Lin's body.
Wang Lin's face turned pale, but his right index finger still didn't tremble at all.
His gaze was completely focused on the tip of his right index finger. Ignoring the repulsive force within his body, he slowly manipulated his index finger and outlined the circular rune imprint. He wanted to completely outline it once.
Only by doing this could he open the circle!
Every time he moved a bit, the rejection force inside Wang Lin's body would increase explosively. He could clearly feel the rejection force from the circle enter his body through his finger. This intense pain made him sweat profusely in just a few breaths of time.
Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His internal organs felt like they were about to collapse.
The tearing of his celestial body and flesh was like pulling out a person's soul from their body. This kind of pain was difficult to describe unless one experienced it personally.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, half an incense stick of time had passed. The entire stone room was filled with Wang Lin's heavy breathing. His index finger had already traced most of the circle, and there was only a small piece left.
His eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his right arm were bulging. From afar, it looked like vines were wrapped around his arm. It was a shocking sight.
Not only his right arm, but there were also large amounts of veins bulging on his face and body. As they wiggled, they released the rejection force that wanted to tear apart Wang Lin's body.
Wang Lin clenched his teeth and stared at his finger. He didn't stop and slowly moved. As he continued to trace the circle, the rejection force inside his body became even more violent. In the end, it was earth-shattering. Popping sounds came from his body and suppressed the sound of his breathing. It was like Thunder that echoed across the stone room.
"Almost there …" Wang Lin's right hand was almost numb. The difficulty of absorbing the rejection force from the circle was like a fierce battle with a third step cultivator.
It was even more difficult than that!
This rune could only be opened with this method. If he only had celestial energy, he wouldn't be able to open it. If he only had the aura of Taoism, he wouldn't be able to open it either. If he didn't have either, then even if he destroyed and refined Suzaku, he wouldn't be able to damage the rune at all!
Time passed by. Wang Lin used almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to finish the last small piece. When his right index finger perfectly drew a circle and returned to the starting point, a powerful force came from the rune and charged at Wang Lin's right hand.
There was a loud bang and Wang Lin's body was knocked back. As he retreated, his body gave off bursts of light. The Light and Shadow Shield had been activated, but in the blink of an eye, the Light and Shadow Shield shattered.
Wang Lin coughed out a mouthful of blood. The moment the Light and Shadow Shield shattered, the ancient god stars between his eyebrows shined and the Emperor Furnace appeared around him. The moment the Emperor Furnace appeared, it distorted. After blocking for a bit, it bounced back and turned into a ghostly light that returned to Wang Lin's star.
After the Light and Shadow Shield and the Emperor Furnace offset it, the force from the rune had dissipated a lot when it landed on Wang Lin's body. However, it still caused blood to flow out from the corner of his mouth. He was knocked back dozens of feet and slammed into the wall of the stone room. With a bang, the stone room shook and cracking sounds echoed. The wall behind Wang Lin began to crack with him as the center.
The circular rune on the stone door emitted a powerful light that enveloped the entire stone room. Under the powerful light, a crack slowly appeared in the middle of the rune on the stone door. Gradually, the stone door opened with a loud bang!
As the stone door opened, an ancient aura came from behind the door and filled the area.
Wang Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly looked up. Behind the stone door was darkness, as if it was the entrance to another world!
That was the greatest secret place of the Rune Race. That was the nineteenth level!
The moment the stone door opened and the ancient aura came out, Wang Lin immediately felt it. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and slammed the wall behind him.
A thunderous rumble echoed as Wang Lin's body flew out like a bolt of lightning toward the stone door. In an instant, he entered the 19th layer of the Tattoo Clan that no one had ever entered since it was sealed!
The moment he entered, the stone door rumbled and slowly closed with a bang.
Wang Lin didn't turn around. What he saw shocked him.
The place he was at was not the real 19th layer, but a strange passage. At the end of this passage was the 19th layer.
This passage was formed by rings that grew larger and larger. These rings were separated from each other and spread forward.
If this was it, it wouldn't shock Wang Lin, but these rings were all the same as the rune on the stone door!
They were all formed by the fusion of celestial spiritual energy and the aura of Dao Blessing!
It was because of their existence and because they were connected to the stone door that the rune loomed outside the stone door!
"How was this place formed!?"
Wang Lin looked ahead. Even though he had been to many places and seen countless strange worlds, he was still shocked by what he saw.
The further forward one went, the larger the circle became, and the repulsive force within it became even crazier!
There was also a sharp aura that made it feel like the more Wang Lin walked forward, the more he felt like he was being locked on by a sword.
Everything around the rings was pitch black, and even divine sense couldn't rush out to check. However, under Wang Lin's naked eyes, his pupils shrank as he vaguely sensed something.
"Outside the passage formed by the rings is actually dirt …" Wang Lin's mind was a bit confused. He was originally deep underground in Suzaku, so it was natural for him to see dirt. However, after entering the stone door, he felt like he had entered another world. Seeing dirt again gave him an indescribable feeling.
After a moment of silence, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. Since he was here, he wanted to see what would happen here!
Wang Lin's body flickered and he quickly moved toward the end of the passage.
The circles before Wang Lin gradually grew until they were thousands of feet wide. The Ancient Dao aura and celestial spiritual energy became even stronger, and the fierce aura became even more powerful. It gave off endless coldness, but there was no sign of the area being frozen.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Lin saw the last ring before him. He had arrived at the end of the passage. This ring was already tens of thousands of feet wide, like the sky itself!
Standing here, Wang Lin looked back. He couldn't see the stone door behind him, he could only see the rings that were getting smaller and smaller.
While pondering, Wang Lin turned around and stepped toward the last ring. With a bang, he walked directly into the center of the ring!
He saw...
