The moment the door opened a crack and the aura of the Immortal Astral Continent rushed in, the Old Devil Zhan stepped out from the collapsed world behind Wang Lin.
The eyes of the shadow wearing the cloak revealed a monstrous, ghostly light as he stared at Wang Lin. He didn't know why, but the moment the door opened, he felt a sense of life and death crisis in his heart.
Wang Lin stood beside the door and looked at the Old Devil Zhan in the distance. Behind Wang Lin, the door opened a crack and the aura of the Immortal Astral Continent surrounded Wang Lin. This aura that didn't belong here made Wang Lin's Ancient Dao bloodline cheer and his blood flow speed up.
It was as if he was absorbing this aura.
"Even if the door is open, you won't dare to go out!
Although the Old Man doesn't have the memory of the third soul, he still has some of his comprehension of the Immortal Astral Continent. There is a barrier between the cave world and the Immortal Astral Continent, and only those with the bloodline can leave!
"Even if you have the bloodline's call and can leave, if you don't hand over the third soul, the Old Man will kill everyone related to you after you leave this cave!"
The sense of life and death crisis in the Old Devil Zhan's heart became even stronger. He didn't get close but sent out his words from a distance.
"Now that the door is open, there is no deep hatred between us. Give me the third soul and I'll immediately leave and never step into the cave world again!" The Old Devil Zhan's voice seemed to contain a strange power as it echoed.
Wang Lin didn't speak. It was impossible for him to hand over the third soul. In his view, this soul didn't belong to the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign Su Dao, but his own disciple, Xie Qing.
While pondering, Wang Lin raised his right hand. Two ghostly lights flashed in his palm and turned into two seals. These seals were covered in ghostly light, but there were blood lines inside. These blood lines were Xie Qing's heart blood!
Xie Qing had used his life as the third soul to form three seals. One for himself and two for Wang Lin. This was the last thing he would do for his teacher before he died.
Once these two seals fused with the aura of the Immortal Astral Continent, they would have the power to seal the other two souls!
The moment the two seals appeared, a large amount of Immortal Astral Continent aura came out from the door behind Wang Lin. It rushed toward Wang Lin's right hand and rapidly fused with the two seals.
The ghostly light increased greatly, and it was as if two ghostly suns were floating in Wang Lin's right hand. The light shrouded Wang Lin's body, and even the door behind him was shrouded in the light. From afar, it looked very blurry.
However, this sealing power wasn't complete and was still absorbing the Immortal Astral Continent aura from the door. Because the door had only opened a crack, the absorption was a bit slower.
The moment he felt this sealing power, Old Devil Zhan's pupils shrank. He finally understood why he had felt this life and death crisis. All of this came from the seal inside Wang Lin's body fusing with the aura of the Immortal Astral Continent!
There was a flash of coldness in his eyes and the Old Devil Zhan didn't hesitate to charge at Wang Lin. He knew he couldn't retreat. No matter how strong the feeling of life and death crisis was, he had to rush out and stop Wang Lin. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
He was very fast and instantly closed in less than 100 feet from Wang Lin. The Old Devil Zhan raised his right hand and a golden "battle" word flew out toward Wang Lin. At the same time, the seven-colored soul shadow around the Old Devil Zhan began to overlap. The seven-colored soul shadow was the soul of the Seven-Colored Daoist. He was covered in seven-colored light and charged at Wang Lin.
Shortly after, another soul of the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign, who was wrapped in a cloak with only his eyes exposed, suddenly opened his arms. The cloak around him expanded like a wave and shrouded Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's expression was calm. The two seals in his right hand were still absorbing the Immortal Astral Continent aura from the door. As the Old Devil Zhan and the two souls closed in, he raised his left hand and waved.
With this, the eight essence true bodies around Wang Lin appeared. It was as if eight Wang Lin had waved their palms at the same time.
Thunderous rumbles echoed as the collapsed world of the fifth flower dissipated, revealing the stars. Dao Master Blue Dream, the old man named Ma, Yun Yifeng, and the third concubine, Tang Shan, appeared.
There was also the seriously injured Black Tortoise General and Rosefinch General. Their figures also appeared.
The moment the essence true body appeared, the expression of the Old Devil Zhan changed. He didn't have the memories of the third soul and had never seen this essence true body. However, the old man named Ma from planet Five Elements was filled with terror and disbelief when he saw the essence true body.
"Essence true body!!!
This … This is an essence true body! It is extremely rare for an ordinary person to have one essence true body. He … He actually has eight!!
"Rumor has it that aside from opening the God Realm, there is another way to become a Grand Empyrean, and that is related to the essence true body!
Although this possibility has never been proven, it shows how rare an essence true body is! "
Thunderous rumbles echoed as the palm of Wang Lin's eight essence true bodies and his original body collided with the Old Devil Zhan. The Seven-Colored Soul, the cloaked soul, and the Old Devil Zhan all trembled and retreated!
This was the first time Wang Lin faced the Old Devil Zhan head-on and forced him to retreat!
Wang Lin's body trembled as a powerful force rushed into his body through his left hand and into the eight essence true bodies around him.
His eyes lit up and he borrowed the rebound force from this spell to draw an arc with his left hand. Then he pressed his left hand against the door behind him.
The door rumbled, and at the same time, the eight essence true bodies also retreated and smashed into the door one by one.
Amidst the heaven-shaking rumbles, the door was pushed open once more. From a small crack, it slowly grew larger and larger until it was nearly 30% open!
At this point, the door no longer needed anyone to push it. The moment the powerful aura of the Immortal Astral Continent rushed in, the door opened by itself. Thunderous rumbles echoed as it opened wider and wider.
At the same time, even more Immortal Astral Continent aura rushed out and fused with the two seals on Wang Lin's right hand. The expression of the Old Devil Zhan changed greatly as Wang Lin raised his right hand.
The Old Devil Zhan's eyes were filled with fear. He didn't have time to think and desperately retreated. Wang Lin looked at the seal in his hand. He vaguely saw Xie Qing inside, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
"Xie Qing … You are my disciple and also my teacher …" Wang Lin let out a sigh and waved his right hand. The two seals shined brightly and flew toward the escaping Old Devil Zhan.
This seal was like fate. No matter how fast the Old Devil Zhan was, he couldn't escape fate.
The two seals closed in on the Old Devil Zhan one after the other. The Old Devil Zhan was filled with fear as the first seal flew toward the spot between his eyebrows.
The Old Devil Zhan let out a roar and his hands formed a seal. As spells spread out, the soul with the cape around him revealed fear in its eyes. It waved its right hand at the seal, causing the void to rumble.
However, all the spells and lights couldn't stop this sealing ball of light. It was as if nothing existed before it. This sealing ball of light penetrated all the spells and the void and gently landed between the eyebrows of the soul with the cape around Old Ghost Zhan's body.
The moment the seal landed, the soul with the cape let out a miserable scream. Overlapping shadows appeared around its body and a seven-colored light flashed. It instantly turned into the seven-colored soul, causing the seal to land between the eyebrows of the soul with the cape.
With a bang, the seal shattered and turned into a ghostly light that wrapped around the seven-colored soul. From a distance, it looked like a large net. In just a few breaths of time, the seven-colored soul slowly shrank to the size of a fist, and the light dimmed.
At this moment, Old Devil Zhan quickly retreated and ripples appeared under his feet. The soul with the cape around him that had escaped this calamity was filled with endless fear as it looked at the second seal. It watched the seal land between its eyebrows, and as it dissipated, it surrounded its body.
In the distance, Dao Master Blue Dream and the others were shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect Wang Lin to have such a move. The old man named Ma and Yun Yifeng looked at Wang Lin with extremely complicated gazes.
They originally thought that Xuan Luo would help them in the core of the cave and that Wang Lin wouldn't be able to pass it alone. However, from beginning to end, Xuan Luo hadn't appeared. Wang Lin had relied on his own strength to reach this step.
The soul with the cape that the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign had fused with Old Devil Zhan was shrouded by the ghostly net and turned into a fist-sized ball of light. The connection between it and Old Devil Zhan was severed.
The moment the connection was severed, Old Devil Zhan's eyes immediately dimmed and a large amount of black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Although there was no light in his eyes, they became clear.
He looked around and his gaze finally fell on Wang Lin and the door to the cave behind Wang Lin. Looking at the open door, Old Devil Zhan revealed a smile.
"You are very excellent … My life's dream was to open the door to this cave. Unfortunately … I failed the Arcane Tribulant and had my soul fused with it …" Old Devil Zhan's body gave off bursts of black gas. His skin withered and black water dripped down. He was rapidly melting and dying.
"I should have died many years ago … You completed what I wanted to do and freed me … Wang Lin, thank you …" Old Devil Zhan's voice became even weaker and half of his body had dissipated.
However, the remaining half of his body seemed to burst forth with the last of his life force as his eyes shined brightly. As it dissipated, it turned into a ray of light and charged toward the half-opened door.
Even if he died, he wanted to see the Immortal Astral Continent he had longed to go to … Wang Lin didn't stop him. He watched as half of Old Devil Zhan's body charged into the door and dissipated.
