One main body and three avatars were sitting at the four ends of the earth, north, south, and west. Their divine senses were connected and completely locked down the country of Xuan Wu.
Any cultivator that entered or left Xuan Wu would have to go through the divine sense blockade. As a result, the Eighth Extreme Demon Lord had complete control.
This old man was also very angry at Xuan Wu. He had chased Xuan Wu all the way from the Sea of Devils to the country of Hou Fen to kill him, but Xuan Wu had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't find any clues. He thought that Wang Lin was hiding underground, but after carefully searching with his divine sense, he still couldn't find anything.
However, he didn't give up. Ever since he heard that this person used the Death Curse Spell in Nandou City, he was tempted. If there was a part of his grand plan that included the Death Curse Spell, then it would be much easier.
This was why he spent so much effort chasing after Wang Lin. With his power, it should have been easy to catch Wang Lin, but Wang Lin was like a loach that disappeared without a trace. This wait lasted 97 days. When Wang Lin finally came out, he didn't expect Wang Lin to use the earth escape technique without any hesitation.
Luckily, he had borrowed the earth boat. This treasure had a high level earth escape technique, so it would be much easier for him to track Wang Lin.
He was getting closer and closer. He couldn't use many of his spells underground, so he thought that as long as he got closer, he would be able to capture him. However, he miscalculated once again. That brat was actually heading towards the Hou Fen Union's mountain peak.
What happened next was that although he managed to break the protective formation, he lost track of Xuan Wu and Hou Fen's auras. This made him so angry that he didn't hesitate to offend the rank 4 cultivation countries behind Xuan Wu and Hou Fen to lock down their divine sense.
In truth, he hadn't killed a single person from either country. This had a lot to do with the rank 4 cultivation country behind them.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more they would know about Suzaku's background. Hou Fen and Xuan Wu were backed by the same rank 4 cultivation country, so it didn't matter how much they fought. However, if an outsider came to kill them, the rank 4 cultivation country would definitely send someone.
If it was before, he wouldn't mind killing them, but now that the place was about to open, he didn't want to cause any problems.
This lock lasted for two years.
Over the past two years, Xuan Wu and the Hou Fen Union had gotten used to having divine senses sweep over them. This kind of phenomenon could happen several times a day.
As for the reason for this, almost all the cultivators knew. The elders of their sects had warned them not to explore the four directions.
The more the Eighth Extreme Demon Lord waited, the more anxious he became. There was only one year left before that place opened. If he was late, the consequences would be unimaginable. In a fit of anger, he decided to wait another half a year. If that brat still didn't appear in half a year, then he would offend a rank 4 cultivation country and refine the country of Xuan Wu. Even if he had to refine it into nothing, he would find that brat.
Time slowly passed. One month, two months … until the fifth month. The Extreme Demon Lord 'expression became more and more gloomy. The Extreme Extreme Demon En became even more anxious.
Wang Lin was sitting in the lotus position inside the heaven defying bead. His expression was even uglier than the Eighth Extreme Demon Lord's. He had already checked everything on him. From the drop of Soul Blood that belonged to Shang Guanmo, he felt a very faint fluctuation. The reason why Shang Guanmo had chased him all the way here was because of this drop of Soul Blood.
On this day, the heaven defying bead's space reached its limit. Wang Lin had a feeling that if he didn't leave now, he would never be able to leave again.
He had to stay outside for at least three days before he could enter again. However, if the person chasing him was still outside, it would be difficult for him to stay there for three days.
Wang Lin pondered a bit. The light inside the heaven defying bead became dimmer and dimmer. When it dimmed completely, Wang Lin walked out of the heaven defying bead.
The moment he appeared, the Extreme Extreme Demon Lord, who was sitting in the four corners of Xuan Wu Country, suddenly opened his eyes. His body flashed and he disappeared.
Wang Lin's body went from a phantom to corporeal, and waves of dizziness began to appear. He endured the headache and pointed to between his eyebrows. Shang Guanmo's soul blood immediately came out. Without a word, he flicked his finger and the soul blood quickly flew out of the ground.
At the same time, Wang Lin suddenly felt a sense of danger. He sneered and quickly fled in the opposite direction.
The green-robed old man followed the soul blood and appeared on the ground. He smacked the ground with his palm, causing the earth to tremble. His body instantly sank into the earth boat, but soon, he emerged from the ground with a gloomy expression. In his hand was the drop of soul blood, and in a fit of rage, he crushed it.
"You won't be able to escape!" The old man angrily shouted. His divine sense spread out and instantly covered the entire country of Xuan Wu. His expression changed and he quickly flew away.
Wang Lin, who was using the earth escape technique, immediately noticed that the earth around him was filled with spiritual energy. He knew that the enemy had caught up, and he knew that he wouldn't be able to escape for more than three days. After pondering for a bit, without a word, he went underground and jumped out of the ground.
As soon as he appeared, four identical figures appeared around him in a flash.
The Extreme Extreme Demon Lord coldly stared at Wang Lin. The four figures slowly merged into one person. He said, "Little fellow, including the previous 97 days, I've waited for you for a total of three years."
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. He coldly stared at the old man and didn't say a word.
The old man snorted and said, "What's your name?"
Wang Lin said, in a serious tone, "Ma Liang!" Ma Liang's cultivation was like the calm sea in his eyes; it was unfathomable.
"Ma Liang, let me ask you. Do you know the Death Curse Art?"
The old man's gaze was like lightning as he stared at Wang Lin. His eyes were filled with killing intent. If Wang Lin said no, the old man would definitely kill him in a fit of rage. Then he would return to Nandou City and start a massacre. He would extract the souls of all those who lied to him and refine them into treasures.
Wang Lin pondered for a bit before nodding his head. He could feel the old man's killing intent. If he made a single mistake, he would definitely die.
The green-robed old man narrowed his eyes and slapped his bag of holding without a word. Immediately, a three-meter-long green spotted python appeared in his hand. … … … … …
The python stuck out its forked tongue and stared at Wang Lin with its purplish-black eyes.
The old man threw the python to the ground and coldly said, "Use the Death Curse Art. The target is this python!"
The moment the python landed, it immediately coiled up and raised its head. With a fishy smell, it opened its mouth and bit down.
Wang Lin lowered his head and red lightning flashed in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "Die!"
Wang Lin's target wasn't the python, but the old man. This time, he had used his Ji Realm Divine Sense to its limit.
The moment the old man said the word 'die', Wang Lin suddenly retreated. The old man felt his divine sense shake as a bolt of red lightning entered his sea of consciousness. The seawater in the old man's sea of consciousness had already dried up. There was only an octopus resting there. The moment the red lightning entered his sea of consciousness, the octopus immediately opened its mouth and a powerful suction force came out, sucking the red lightning into its mouth.
However, there was no doubt that the Ji Realm Divine Sense was powerful. Even though the old man's cultivation was strong, the octopus in his sea of consciousness still trembled when the red lightning entered his sea of consciousness.
This tremble immediately caused a chain reaction that spread to his sea of consciousness and then to his entire body. Thus, the old man's body paused for a moment.
As Wang Lin retreated, he opened his mouth and spat out a crystal light. The crystal light flashed and the python was cut in half. At the same time, the flying sword flashed like lightning and pierced the old man's eyebrows.
However, a white halo rippled from the old man's eyebrows. No matter how the flying sword pierced, it couldn't go even half an inch.
Wang Lin didn't say anything. He waved his right hand and the flying sword flew back. He immediately drilled into the ground and quickly escaped.
A moment later, the green-robed old man's body trembled. He glanced at the python's corpse that had been chopped in half and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. His eyes were filled with monstrous rage. He grinned, formed a seal with both hands, and growled, "Go!"
A shuttle shining with seven colors appeared in front of him. This shuttle was crystal clear and it was overflowing with light. Under the old man's command, the awl immediately shot out and pierced into the ground. It quickly chased after Wang Lin.
Along the way, wherever the shuttle passed, the earth would dissipate. In the blink of an eye, the shuttle was ten feet away from Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's scalp went numb. Without hesitation, he took out the jade talisman that Yang Sen gave him back then.
This jade talisman could withstand a full force attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator. The moment he took out the jade talisman, the shuttle flew over.
The jade talisman immediately grew in size and blocked behind Wang Lin. It collided with the shuttle. With a loud bang, the jade talisman shattered and turned into dust. The shuttle was also shaken back several feet and slowed down. At the same time, a circular ripple spread in all directions from the point of contact. Wherever it passed, the earth was lifted up.
If one looked down from the sky, they could clearly see a small circle becoming larger. In an instant, it had spread for hundreds of feet. The earth bulged as if there was an earth dragon rolling inside.
Wang Lin was swept by the ripple and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Without hesitation, he jumped out of the ground and narrowly avoided the main ripple.
After flying out of the ground, he didn't stop and immediately rushed forward.
Feeling the ripple vibrate under his feet, the old man's anger slightly subsided. He muttered to himself, "That attack just now even made me fall into a trance for a moment. Rumor has it that the Death Curse Technique cultivates one's divine sense and attacks with it. If that's the case, then this kid has indeed mastered the Death Curse Technique!"
Thinking of this, his body flickered and immediately disappeared.
Wang Lin felt a dull pain in his chest. While flying, he took out the healing pill that Li Muwan gave him. After taking one, his pupils shrank. Right in front of him, the ripple of spiritual energy suddenly intensified. Wang Lin had had many encounters with Nascent Soul cultivators. He knew that this was a sign of teleportation. Without hesitation, he suddenly changed direction.
At this moment, where the ripple of spiritual energy was, the figure of the old man suddenly appeared.
"Little friend, the Old Man doesn't want to hurt you. Can you listen to the Old Man first?"
