As the sea dragon rushed into the sky and opened its mouth to devour Wang Lin, a ray of golden light moved at an extremely fast speed that surpassed the speed of a Void Tribulant cultivator. It flew from the direction of the Heavenly Bull Continent toward the Devil Dao Sect. Looking at its speed, it wouldn't take long for it to close in on the Devil Dao Sect!
The sea dragon roared and rushed toward Wang Lin. The Devil Dao Sect's sect master stared at the sky. His gaze could easily penetrate this closed door cultivation area and see everything that was happening outside.
"This sea dragon was left behind by the ancestor. Even if I wanted to kill it, it would take some effort, and I might not be able to resist it. Although Wang Lin killed Elder Feng, Elder Feng burned his life to become a Golden Exalt for a short period of time. There is still a large gap between him and a real Golden Exalt!
"He can kill Elder Feng, but dealing with the sea dragon left behind by the ancestor is not something he can do in a short period of time!!
"With this sea dragon delaying him, the ancestor will definitely receive the news!"
The Devil Dao Sect's sect master didn't dare to go out, but his hatred for Wang Lin was monstrous. He wanted nothing more than to devour Wang Lin's flesh and blood.
As he gritted his teeth and muttered, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master's right hand trembled. He looked down and saw a ball of green gas appear in his right hand. The moment the green gas appeared, it split into seven strands that entered the Devil Dao Sect's sect master's orifices.
The Devil Dao Sect's sect master's body trembled and he immediately closed his eyes. However, in an instant, he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with ecstasy and he began to laugh.
"Powerful!!
The Celestial Emperor has indeed sent down an imperial edict. Three imperial edicts, and one of them is for my Devil Dao Sect. This imperial edict must have been specifically for me!! "The Devil Dao Sect's sect master laughed, and there was a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
"Wang Lin, you want to kill me?
"You want to destroy my Devil Dao Sect? The ancestor can come at any time. Once he does, you'll die for sure. Also, the imperial edict is about to arrive. Once the imperial edict arrives, the imperial family messenger will be here. How will you kill me then?
If you kill me, you will be killing the person who received the imperial edict. You will be committing a great crime!
The Devil Dao Sect's sect master was overjoyed.
While he was rejoicing, the sea dragon charged at Wang Lin with a roar. Its huge body exuded a shocking pressure that was earth-shattering. Anyone below the Golden Exalt Realm would tremble in fear!
Along with the roar, there was also a powerful sound that could shake one's heart. This roar seemed to contain a great power that could make people tremble!
Wang Lin's countenance was ice-cold as he stared at the rapidly approaching sea dragon. He had never seen such a beast before, and he could sense the terrifying aura emanating from its body.
This was the power of a Golden Exalt. As the sea dragon closed in, the world changed colors. The clear sky darkened like it was dusk.
"Golden Exalt Beast …" Wang Lin's eyes lit up and a monstrous light erupted from them. His eyes were filled with shocking battle intent.
At this moment, his cultivation base erupted with power. He didn't hold anything back. This was the first time he had unleashed the full power of his cultivation base since obtaining the good fortune from the Green Devil Scorpion Temple!!
This was the complete release of his Ancient Dao body. This was the complete release of his Void Tribulant cultivation. Aside from not wearing the soul armor, this was the peak of Wang Lin's power in the last 3,000 years!!
His white hair suddenly lengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye. It grew several fold until it was longer than his body and hung in the air. Along with his white robe, Wang Lin looked like he was surrounded by a cold, white aura!
When his white hair reached his feet, Wang Lin raised his right hand and pointed at the incoming sea dragon!
"Can Ye!!"
The world roared, and the sky around them immediately changed. It turned into a sea that surged into the sky. As the seawater roared madly, the sky turned black.
In the dark sky, a rising sun gave off a dazzling light. Under the light, the sea dragon's huge body suddenly stopped, and its eyes were filled with shock.
It clearly felt that the spell the cultivator before it was using gave it an unimaginable sense of terror. It felt as if it had returned to countless years ago, when it was still weak and faced the might of the heavens.
Wang Lin's figure appeared inside the rising sun. He was the sun, and as he walked out from the bright light, a powerful faith came from his body.
This faith force spread out in all directions, causing the sea dragon to tremble violently. It let out a mournful roar and didn't dare to move forward. Instead, it retreated like crazy.
Even though it had the cultivation level of a Golden Exalt cultivator, under this faith spell, it could clearly feel death. However, no matter how it retreated, it could not escape the darkness and could not avoid the power that was tearing it apart.
The light from the sun caused the darkness to collapse layer by layer. It descended on the sea dragon as if it was going to tear it apart along with the darkness!
The impression of death enveloped the sea dragon. As it trembled, its roar became even more mournful.
Intense pain came from all parts of its body. This was the power that was tearing apart the darkness was collapsing its body.
Even with its powerful body and the cultivation level of a Golden Exalt, this intense pain was unbearable. Its roar was filled with fear and despair, and it felt like a nightmare that it couldn't open its eyes.
"Surrender or return to the void!"
Just as its body was about to collapse and be torn apart, the intense pain enveloped its body, making it infinitely close to death. At this moment, a powerful voice filled with faith and majesty echoed across the world.
The moment this voice echoed, the sea dragon struggled to open its eyes that were blinded by the light. It looked at Wang Lin walking toward it and at the sun behind Wang Lin. It suddenly had an illusion!
"Grand Empyrean …" The sun behind Wang Lin looked like a sun to the sea dragon. It was the 10th sun on the Immortal Astral Continent!!
The figure under the sun and the powerful faith force was a Grand Empyrean!!
Its master, the Devil Dao Sect's ancestor, was only an Empyrean Exalt. However, at this moment, Wang Lin looked like a Grand Empyrean to the sea dragon. This illusion made it fall into a trance. It originally wouldn't submit to anyone, even in death. It had its own pride, but at this moment, its body trembled and it knelt down without any hesitation.
"Surrender!"
The moment it sent out this divine sense, the imprint on its body that belonged to its original master collapsed. Celestial beasts at the Golden Exalt level could not be controlled by ordinary means. In order to make them surrender, one had to possess great power.
Aside from Grand Empyreans, ordinary people couldn't enslave celestial beasts of this level. They could only have a relationship of equals. This dragon and its original master were like this.
However, the moment it surrendered, a green soul energy came out from between the eyebrows of the sea dragon. This soul energy flew toward Wang Lin and was caught by Wang Lin.
Not even the previous owner of the sea dragon could obtain this kind of soul energy. However, in that trance and enlightenment, the sea dragon gave its soul energy to Wang Lin!
Controlling the soul energy was the same as controlling its life and death!
The moment the soul energy was controlled by Wang Lin, all the darkness in the world dissipated. The surrounding sea and sun disappeared and everything returned to normal. The earth was still the ruins of the Devil Dao Sect and the sky was still clear.
However, the Devil Dao Sect's sect master was filled with disbelief when he saw this. His body trembled.
"No … Impossible!!
This sea dragon belongs to the ancestor. It … It actually surrendered to Wang Lin!! "
The Devil Dao Sect's sect master was aghast and filled with monstrous fear. He was not only shocked by the submission of the sea dragon, but also by the Sundered Night spell Wang Lin had used after erupting with his full cultivation!!
"Faith spell!
That is a faith spell!! "
He originally thought the sea dragon would be able to stall for some time, but he didn't expect the situation to reverse in just a few breaths. Wang Lin had used a faith spell and the sea dragon had chosen to surrender!!
Endless fear shrouded the Devil Dao Sect's sect master's heart. Without hesitation, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out blood. The blood turned into a blood mist that spread out and entered the earth-yellow light barrier. It strengthened the light barrier's resistance.
"I can't let him in!!
I'm not his match, I can't let him in!!
Time, I need time now. The ancestor should arrive soon, and the imperial edict should arrive soon. Time, I need time!!! "
The Devil Dao Sect's sect master seemed to have gone crazy. His hands formed seals and he continued to place seals into the light barrier around the island.
Ripples appeared on the light barrier and it rapidly strengthened. Wang Lin stepped forward and the sea dragon followed. It looked at Wang Lin with awe in its eyes.
Wang Lin closed in on the light barrier and his right hand formed a fist. There was a flash of coldness in his eyes and he threw a punch.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!!
The light barrier strengthened by the Devil Dao Sect's sect master could only resist a bit before collapsing under Wang Lin's punch. All the buildings on the island were destroyed, revealing the Devil Dao Sect's sect master, who was sitting there in despair!
Wang Lin coldly looked at the Devil Dao Sect's sect master. He didn't stop and charged forward with a punch. The Devil Dao Sect's sect master quickly retreated and his hands formed seals to resist. However, his body trembled and he coughed out blood. He was seriously injured and retreated.
"Wang Lin, you dare to kill me!!
My Devil Dao Sect's ancestor is an Empyrean Exalt. If you want to kill me, you'll die a horrible death!! "
Wang Lin didn't speak. He raised his right hand and was about to throw another punch!
Just at this moment, a ray of golden light closed in at an indescribable speed and shrouded the world!
There was a golden figure inside the golden light!
"Celestial Emperor's messenger, Celestial Emperor's messenger, the imperial edict has arrived. Wang Lin, I want to see how you will kill me!!
Do you dare to defy the imperial edict?! "The Devil Dao Sect's sect master was already in despair, but now he became excited.
