Du Qing looked at the sky in the distance. He vaguely felt that the person he was chasing was a terrifying existence. He couldn't help but hesitate and didn't know if he should continue to chase.
After a long time, Du Qing clenched his teeth and coldness appeared in his eyes.
"If I just give up like this, I'm really unwilling. No matter what, I have to catch up and fight him. If he is just pretending to be mysterious, I'll kill him … If … If his cultivation level is not bad and he is evenly matched with me, then I need to change my mind. My Blue Dragon Sect has already been destroyed, and that can't be changed. If he can join the sect … The influence of the Blue Dragon Sect will be even greater!" Du Qing was an old ancestor, and although he was moody, he was not an ordinary person.
After making up his mind, Du Qing raised his right hand and grabbed at the air. A paper crane immediately appeared in his hand. The paper crane was crimson, and when he threw it, it immediately expanded into a smoke crane. It let out a cry at the sky and flew forward.
Du Qing followed into the distance.
"With the guidance of this treasure I obtained from the Great Soul Sect, this person won't be able to escape for long!"
A thunderous rumble echoed across the Heavenly Bull Continent and a giant Vermillion Bird made of fire rushed out from the earth. The fire around it caused the world to distort and the earth to dry up as if it could collapse at any moment.
On the head of Rosefinch, Wang Lin's white hair fluttered and his eyes shined brightly.
It had been half a month since he devoured the earth fire vein's soul for the second time. During this time, Wang Lin didn't waste any time and quickly moved forward. Every time he encountered an earth fire vein, he would absorb its soul.
During this half a month, nine earth fire veins had been absorbed by Wang Lin. Adding on the two from before, he now had 11 earth fire dragon souls in his fire essence.
His fire essence was far stronger than when he was in the cave world. It was more than twice as strong!
This shocking change caused Wang Lin's eyes to go red and he continued to devour like crazy!
Wang Lin had long sensed that someone was chasing him. Even though Wang Lin hadn't seen the person chasing him, he clearly knew who it was.
This person had to be the strongest person in the Blue Dragon Sect, the early stage Void Tribulant Du Qing!
This matter was not difficult to analyze. Anyone who dared to chase him for so long must be confident in their own cultivation. When Wang Lin first arrived on the Immortal Astral Continent, only the Blue Dragon Sect's old ancestor from Kang Ren's memories had this kind of strength!
"According to Kang Ren's memories, the Blue Dragon Sect's ancestor's cultivation level is at the early stage of Void Tribulant … However, Kang Ren doesn't know if his true cultivation level is at the early stage of Void Tribulant!
"Perhaps he really has gone through nine Arcane Tribulants and is at the early stage of Void Tribulant, or perhaps he is still in the middle of an Arcane Tribulant!" Wang Lin naturally wouldn't believe Du Qing's cultivation level just because of Kang Ren's memories.
Rosefinch's eyes lit up and Wang Lin flew off into the distance once more. The more earth fire veins it devoured, the faster the Rosefinch became. Although it was not as fast as the mosquito king, it was almost as fast as Wang Lin himself.
Rosefinch let out a roar and disappeared without a trace.
Half a day later, a ray of light arrived and turned into Du Qing. He had chased for half a month and was getting closer and closer to Wang Lin. However, his mood had become more and more gloomy.
In the past half a month, he had seen nine dried-up Earth Fire Veins. That unimaginable feeling grew stronger and stronger, and the more he chased, the more frightened he became. Gradually, even his earliest thoughts began to waver.
"Another one!!
Damn it, how much does this person need to devour before he stops? If he continues to devour like this, how can I chase? How can I dare to continue chasing … "Du Qing looked at the dried earth fire veins below and felt his scalp go numb.
"Don't tell me that not only am I unable to defeat him after spending so much effort to catch up to him, but I'll even be injured by him. If that's the case, then my pursuit will become a huge joke …" Such a thought occasionally surfaced in Du Qing's mind.
After hesitating for a bit, Du Qing let out a roar. He was going all out. If he didn't see his opponent's true cultivation level, he wouldn't be willing to retreat!
"I claim to be at the early stage of Void Tribulant, but I have actually gone through seven Arcane Tribulants. Even so, with my Fire Purple Wood body, it is far stronger than ordinary earth cultivators. My body is comparable to the cultivators of the ancient countries. I don't believe I can't defeat him!!
"Even if his cultivation level is similar to mine, his body is weaker than mine!!"
Du Qing seemed to have found his confidence. He moved even faster and charged out under the guidance of the smoke crane.
Seven days later, the Rosefinch under Wang Lin became even larger. It covered the sky and swept through the earth. During these six days, he had absorbed three earth fire veins!
The 14 earth fire veins caused Wang Lin's fire essence to increase greatly.
It was now twice as powerful as it was in the cave world!
Du Qing, who was chasing, closed in on Wang Lin one hour later. When he arrived at the last dried earth fire vein, his face was slightly pale. The days of chasing were torture he had never experienced before.
This kind of torture wasn't on the body, but on the mind!
He had seen the earth fire veins wither again and again, and this feeling was enough to make him go crazy.
He would rather not give chase, and he would rather damage his own cultivation to fight his opponent than to continue tormenting him like this.
Four days later, in another part of the Heavenly Bull Continent, a monstrous rumble echoed and the roar of dragons slowly dissipated. Only the almost endless Rosefinch charged out from the ground and into the distance.
Half an hour later, Du Qing's figure appeared once more. He stared dumbfoundedly at the earth for a long time … "16 …" At this moment, Du Qing even suspected that this mysterious person named Wang was formed from the soul of an earth fire vein … Two days later, in the northern part of the Heavenly Bull Continent. This place had the most mountains, and they were endless. There was no vegetation here, and they were all black. From a distance, they looked bare, but they gave off an oppressive feeling.
There were many cracks on the ground and a hot aura seemed to exist in the void.
This place was originally very remote, and not many cultivators came here. Most of the time, this place was silent, but at this moment, a heaven-shaking roar came from the depths of the mountains.
This roar was the roar of the fire dragon soul. It was different from the roar Wang Lin had heard before. This roar shook the world and was almost corporeal. Not only could he hear it, but all living beings here could hear it!
This was no longer the roar of a soul, but a true roar that was powerful enough to form a soul!
After devouring the earth fire vein, this was the first time Wang Lin had encountered a terrifying soul of an earth fire vein that he couldn't devour!
A giant Rosefinch flew out from the mountains. Wang Lin stood on the Rosefinch and suddenly looked back.
Behind him, the mountain range shook, and the ground within a radius of several hundred thousand feet rapidly collapsed. Even the mountain peak shattered, and a huge fire dragon with a head tens of thousands of feet long and a body of unknown length roared ferociously.
This fire dragon was clearly a soul, but at this moment, it looked no different from a real one. It was obvious that the branch vein here was far beyond ordinary.
"This is a child vein, not a branch vein!"
Wang Lin's eyes shined brightly. He had carefully scanned this place before, and when he saw the state of the soul that had been extracted, he was even more certain of his speculation.
A main earth fire vein could have countless branch veins. These branch veins were like the branches of a tree, and they were connected to the main branch.
However, a child vein was different. Perhaps a long time ago, a child vein was connected to the main vein, but in the end, they separated and became independent existences!
This kind of child vein was like the child vein of the main vein. Aside from the difference in strength, there was no difference between them and the main vein!
"I don't know how many child veins there are in the Heavenly Bull Continent … But there shouldn't be too many, there should be very few. Devouring a child vein is the same as devouring a large amount of branch veins. Since I've encountered it, there's no reason to let it go!"
The Vermillion Bird under Wang Lin let out a roar as it circled in the sky. It turned around and charged at the earth fire dragon soul.
The earth fire dragon soul was ferocious and powerful flames spread out from its body. The flames instantly covered the sky and shrouded the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers. Wang Lin and Rosefinch were all inside.
The surroundings were blocked and black smoke came out from the flames. It burned everything that could be breathed, and even the light was distorted. This caused the entire space here to become blurry.
Only the giant fire dragon closed in. Its ferocious eyes were filled with violence as it charged toward Wang Lin and Rosefinch.
Wang Lin let out a cold snort. Although the child earth fire vein was powerful, equal to a mid stage Arcane Void cultivator, it couldn't make Wang Lin retreat. His right hand formed a seal and he pointed at the fire dragon.
"16 earth fire veins, in my name, Wang Lin, appear!"
The moment Wang Lin's words echoed, 16 fire dragons appeared around Rosefinch. These 16 fire dragons roared and surrounded Rosefinch. They were the child earth fire dragon soul!
It was also at this moment that a ray of light closed in. Du Qing had finally caught up!
From afar, he saw the flames that were like clouds that occupied tens of thousands of lis. He heard the shocking dragon roar coming from within the flames. At the instant he heard that sound, Du Qing's body shuddered. Cracks immediately appeared on his originally youthful body, and with a flash of dark light, he turned into a purple wooden figurine!
The moment he turned into a wood person, fire spread out from his body and surrounded the wood person, but it didn't cause any damage to the wood person.
Shockingly, one of Du Qing's Essences was the Essence of fire!
The reason the fire essence had appeared on its own was because the roar of the child earth fire dragon soul represented the fire of the Heavenly Bull Continent!
And Du Qing was an essence cultivator recognized by the fire of the Heavenly Bull Continent!
If it was an ordinary branch vein, it wouldn't have the power to guide the fire essence in Du Qing's body. However, this child vein was no different from the main vein and could achieve this effect.
Du Qing's expression changed. His gaze fell on the cloud-like flames in the distance. He could faintly see the sixteen fire dragons circling around a Vermillion Bird. A group of dragons and a Vermillion Bird were devouring the earth veins!
There was also a white-haired man standing on top of the Vermilion Bird's head. His white robe was extremely eye-catching in the flames. Even though it was only his back view, it gave Du Qing the illusion that he was like a mountain!
"It's him!!" Du Qing's eyes lit up.
Today was the 5th, the fifth day, and he was on par with the record!
If he updated three times tomorrow, he would break the record that Er Gen had written for over two years!
Tomorrow, Er Gen would update three times!!
Crazy for the monthly votes!
