Several months later, at the center of the Green Devil Continent, there was a green swamp. Large amounts of bubbles would occasionally come out and give off the smell of decay. This place was covered in green fog. This fog was formed after the bubbles burst, and it condensed over the years.
In this area that occupied a radius of millions of miles, there was a towering building. From afar, this building looked like a giant scorpion!
The scorpion was 100,000 feet large and was completely black. It was lying on the swamp and looked very lifelike!
A monstrous devilish energy spread out from within and shrouded the area. This made it so that most cultivators couldn't get close, or else they would go crazy from the devilish energy.
Aside from the Devil Dao Sect's sect master, all the cultivators had rushed back to the Devil Dao Sect. Only the sect master who had captured Wang Lin arrived outside the Devil Fate Scorpion Temple.
Only with his cultivation level could he not be affected by the devilish energy here.
At this moment, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master appeared next to the scorpion building. The moment he appeared, a weak cough came from the mouth of the scorpion below.
In this quiet surroundings, these coughs, although weak, were extremely clear.
As the coughing gradually approached, three figures slowly walked out from the mouth of the scorpion.
Among the three figures, the two at the back wore green daoist robes with a ferocious scorpion engraved on them. They looked middle-aged, but they gave off the aura of mid stage Void Tribulant cultivators. Their expressions were cold, as if they had no emotion at all.
At this moment, the two of them were like guards protecting a figure whose entire body was covered by a green robe. The figure looked extremely old, and as he walked forward, he began to cough.
The old figure stopped and said in a hoarse voice, "Did you bring the person back …"
The Devil Dao Sect's sect master was very polite to the old man hidden in the green robe. He clasped his hands and nodded.
"I have brought him. Priest, please take a look."
As he spoke, he waved his right hand and a figure shrouded in black and white gas appeared before him. Wang Lin's eyes were closed as he sat there motionlessly.
"Very good, he should be very suitable to suppress the destiny of my Green Devil Continent and satisfy Lord Green Devil …" The old man raised his head. It was impossible to see his face, but one could see his demonic eyes. He looked at Wang Lin and revealed a satisfied expression.
The Devil Dao Sect's sect master slowly said, "In order to capture him, the Devil Dao Sect paid a great price."
"After Lord Green Devil revives, the reward promised to you will not be small!
However, in order to suppress this person, I will need the help of your Devil Dao Art. You know what to do. Erase his consciousness, destroy his mind and memories! "The old man's hoarse voice was filled with fanaticism as he looked at Wang Lin.
"This person's mind is extremely firm. It won't be easy to erase his consciousness and destroy his mind …" The Devil Dao Sect's sect master smiled but didn't immediately act.
The old man shrouded in green coughed violently. After a long time, he slowly said, "Cough … In the future, the Green Devil Continent will only have the Devil Dao Sect!"
"Good. Since Priest has said this, then I'll use the Devil Dao Art to plant the Devil Dao Change in his heart and let him destroy his own mind!"
The Devil Dao Sect's sect master laughed and no longer hesitated. His finger pierced through the ball of light and pointed to between Wang Lin's eyebrows. Then he grabbed the black and white ball of light around Wang Lin and threw it toward the scorpion building below.
A thunderous roar echoed as Wang Lin, who had his eyes closed, was thrown toward the giant scorpion. The moment he landed, a giant vortex appeared on the scorpion's back and sucked Wang Lin's body into it.
"He has a lot of essences in his body, eight in total. One of them has formed an essence true body!
Among the eight essences, one is connected to mine, and that is the thunder essence!
"I'll use the Thunder essence as the link to destroy his mind and memories!" As the Devil Dao Sect's sect master spoke, he sat down, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.
The green-robed old man in the scorpion's mouth coughed and walked into the scorpion's mouth. The coughing gradually faded into the distance. The two Green Devil Messengers behind him didn't say a word as they entered the scorpion's body and disappeared.
In the deepest part of the scorpion building, there was an empty space that was filled with endless green light. If one were to take a closer look, one would be able to see a large number of green scorpion souls in every ray of light. They were gathered in this space and were constantly emitting soul roars.
Wang Lin's body sat motionless inside this green space, but countless green scorpions slowly gathered and covered most of his body.
His body didn't move, but there was a faint flash of lightning in his right eye. At this moment, there was a surge of origin energy moving like crazy inside his body. This origin was the Thunder essence inside Wang Lin's body!
As this Thunder essence moved, popping sounds came from Wang Lin's body. Arcs of lightning would spread out from his body and cover his entire body.
At this moment, Wang Lin had fallen into a coma. His mind, even his soul, was silent and didn't move at all. However, what others couldn't see, not even the priest and the Devil Dao Sect's sect master, was that there was a bead slowly rotating inside Wang Lin's soul.
Every time it rotated, Wang Lin's soul and mind, as well as his memories and consciousness, would tremble a bit and be protected by a soft light.
It was as if he and his body had split into two parts. In this strange state, the Thunder essence inside his body became stronger and stronger. This strength quickly surpassed the other essences. Although it was still inferior to the fire essence that had formed its true body, the gap between them was getting closer and closer.
It was as if an invisible channel had appeared inside Wang Lin's body. This channel directly connected to the Devil Dao Sect's sect master's body and fused with the powerful Thunder essence that hadn't formed its true body yet.
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, several months went by.
During these months, the Thunder essence in Wang Lin's body became even stronger. Thunderous rumbles echoed inside his body as he crazily absorbed the Devil Dao Sect's sect master's will from the Thunder essence.
After several months, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master gradually frowned. He didn't expect the Thunder essence in Wang Lin's body to absorb so much of his own essence and still not be able to condense its will.
According to his original plan, he only needed one month for his Thunder essence to completely replace Wang Lin's essence. Because that essence contained his will, he could use this method to erase Wang Lin's body from the inside. This way, he could perfectly cause Wang Lin to lose his mind and memories without affecting the priest's request.
If it wasn't for the priest's request, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master had countless ways to instantly erase Wang Lin. However, doing so would be too forceful and would cause damage. Even the slightest damage would affect the Green Devil Scorpion's revival.
"Priest, I need your help. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to accomplish your request." One day in the fourth month, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master couldn't help but speak.
He helplessly found that almost all of his Thunder essence had entered Wang Lin's body, but it still hadn't completely replaced Wang Lin's essence and formed his own will.
This was very strange. It was as if there was a vortex inside Wang Lin's body that was absorbing his will.
The truth was as the Devil Dao Sect's sect master had guessed. Every time the Heaven Defying Bead rotated inside Wang Lin's body, it would protect Wang Lin's soul and absorb any will that wasn't Wang Lin's will.
"I … cough …" An old and hoarse voice came from the scorpion. Before it finished speaking, it began to cough violently. After a long time, the voice continued to echo.
"I still have two Thunder Emperor Beads I got from the Thunder Emperor Continent … I was going to give them to Sir to absorb after he revives … I'll give one to you …" As the voice spoke, the world rumbled and a bolt of grey lightning shot out from the scorpion toward the Devil Dao Sect's sect master.
As it neared, it transformed into a fist-sized pearl. Inside of the pearl were countless bolts of lightning, and within the lightning could be seen the image of a war chariot. Standing atop the war chariot was an indistinct figure, who looked like the emperor of lightning!
Even with the Devil Dao Sect's sect master's cultivation and experience, when he saw this bead, his heart skipped a beat and his eyes revealed a strange light. He seemed to be struggling, but he quickly suppressed this thought. This was for the resurrected Green Devil Scorpion, and it wasn't something he could touch. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to erase Wang Lin's consciousness and memory, the priest wouldn't have taken it out.
The Devil Dao Sect's sect master no longer hesitated and inhaled. The Thunder Emperor Bead turned into countless bolts of lightning that flew into his mouth. The moment he devoured it, the Thunder essence inside his body increased greatly. However, before he could retain any, it was all sucked into the passage between him and Wang Lin.
Deep inside the scorpion's body, inside the green space, Wang Lin's body trembled violently. The Thunder essence inside his body increased greatly and showed signs of forming his Thunder Essence True Body!!
