Inside the storm, thunderous rumbles came from before Wang Lin. He withdrew his fist and his body trembled as he retreated three steps. The first step left a crimson, flaming footprint.
When the second step landed, there was a dark green footprint that was covered by a patch of vegetation when the foot was lifted.
When he took his third step, the ground turned golden, and a footprint that seemed to be made of metal appeared.
After the third step, Wang Lin looked up at the Devil Dao Sect's Heaven clan ancestor.
The storm gradually dissipated and the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Master walked out. He calmly looked at Wang Lin.
"To be able to not die or be injured by my original body's punch and only retreat three steps to force out the three spells inside your body, you do have the strength to destroy the Devil Dao Sect!"
Wang Lin looked at the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Master with a serious expression. That punch just now contained nine spells, and he could only offset six of them. The three steps he was forced back were caused by the three spells he couldn't offset.
"Is this the strength of an Empyrean Master?
Very strong! "Wang Lin's eyes lit up. The person he wanted to fight was an Empyrean Master!
"So this is how Empyrean Exalts fight …" The Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Master's punch kept appearing in Wang Lin's mind, and his eyes gradually lit up.
He was learning!
"There is still the second punch!"
The Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Master's red hair moved without any wind and his eyes revealed a strange light. He suddenly raised his right hand and his body rapidly changed between being real and illusory. It looked extremely strange as he threw a second punch!
The moment the second punch appeared, the entire Devil Dao Sect rumbled. An invisible force appeared out of nowhere and tore apart the sky and earth. The area around Wang Lin turned into a void!
It was a boundless void. In the darkness, Wang Lin couldn't see the sky or the earth. It was as if he had been sucked into another world, leaving only him and the fist that appeared in the void!
This punch contained 18 types of magical powers. As the punch neared, it headed straight for Wang Lin.
Even if a Golden Exalt cultivator saw this punch, they would feel despair and horror. They wouldn't be able to resist it at all. Even if more than 10 Golden Exalts attacked at the same time, they wouldn't be able to delay this punch for even a second.
This was no longer a matter of quantity, but quality!
Golden Exalted cultivators were still in the midst of casting their divine abilities, using their divine abilities to attack and unleash all sorts of powerful Dharma spells. However, Empyreans had fused the Dao into their bodies and fused their divine abilities into their fists and kicks. In terms of level, they were more than a level higher!
"Eighteen divine abilities are contained within. This punch … is extremely powerful!
I can't fuse the Dao into my body right now! "
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he suddenly raised his right hand. He formed a fist and threw a punch at the second punch coming from the void!
"I can't fuse the Dao into my body and move with my body, but my Ancient Dao body has fused with my cultivation. This punch has no spells, only my faith and will!"
Battle intent appeared in Wang Lin's eyes as he threw a punch. He stepped forward and collided with the incoming punch!
Booming sounds reverberated through the entire space in an instant. As the sound traveled further and further away, the space showed signs of collapsing. In just an instant, it was torn apart, forming a destructive collapse.
As the void collapsed, the sky was still the sky of the Green Devil Continent and the earth was still the ruins of the Devil Dao Sect. Wang Lin stood there 1,000 feet away from the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Exalt old ancestor.
Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth and Wang Lin's body seemed to be hit by a powerful force. He retreated seven steps, and each step left a different footprint. After seven steps, a thunderous rumble came from Wang Lin's body. His right arm trembled and drops of blood fell to the ground.
"A very powerful second punch, containing 18 divine abilities. This punch can isolate the world and create its own space." Wang Lin suddenly looked up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Exalt old ancestor in the distance.
"Your cultivation level isn't high, but your combat power is barely at the Empyrean Exalt level. However, you don't know the dao of an Empyrean Exalt. I think I should be the first Empyrean Exalt you've fought."
The Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Exalt old ancestor walked forward and slowly spoke. He looked at Wang Lin with a serious gaze.
"An earth cultivator who doesn't know how Empyrean Exalts fight was able to withstand two of my punches. This person is extraordinary!"
After taking 10 steps, the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Exalt old ancestor's eyes shined brightly. He stood there like a spirit of the world as he looked at Wang Lin. He raised his right hand for the third time.
"If you can withstand my last punch, then the matter with the Devil Dao Sect will be written off!
This punch of mine is my full power. If this punch can't kill you, then I really can't kill you.
"You destroyed the Devil Dao Sect because of karma. I won't ask about karma, but the third punch is the end!" the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Exalt old ancestor slowly said.
"This punch contains twenty-seven divine abilities. How many of them can you withstand?
As the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Exalt old ancestor spoke, he raised his right hand.
Wang Lin clearly knew that without the soul armor, he couldn't withstand it.
This punch was enough to kill him completely. Even his Ancient Dao body wouldn't survive this punch. He would be completely destroyed. "Empyrean Exalts are indeed worthy of being the strongest cultivators on the Immortal Astral Continent aside from Ascendant Empyreans!"
Wang Lin closed his eyes and the tattoo of the Heavenly Bull appeared on his face. The moment it appeared, it spread across Wang Lin's body. At the same time, Wang Lin's cultivation level increased greatly.
This aura came from the Heavenly Bull and entered every inch of Wang Lin's body. It also entered Wang Lin's origin soul and soul, causing Wang Lin's cultivation level to rise from the early stage of Void Tribulant to the mid stage of Void Tribulant. However, it didn't end there; it continued to rise until it reached the peak of the late stage of Void Tribulant. Only after reaching the Golden Exalt level did it calm down.
This sudden change caused the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Exalt old ancestor's pupils to shrink for the first time.
"Borrowing soul force?
This is the soul force of the Heavenly Bull. You have obtained the recognition of the Heavenly Bull!!
To be able to raise it to this degree, you can hear the Heavenly Bull's soul cry!! "For the first time, the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Exalt old ancestor's expression changed!
He was very clear that the 72 continents of the celestial clan suppressed 72 souls. Although they were all suppressed, there were differences in the strength of the suppression, and there were differences in the strength of the souls themselves.
Some of them were already dead, and only about half of them were still alive.
For example, the Green Devil Scorpion's soul was originally very powerful, but the suppression wasn't weak. It had existed for a very long time, even before the Heavenly Bull Continent was formed. As a result, its soul had been weakened a lot.
The Heavenly Bull's soul was different. The Heavenly Bull's soul was a late addition to the 72 continents, and the Heavenly Bull itself was extremely powerful. It was ranked 18th among the 72 continents.
It wasn't difficult to obtain the recognition of a soul. As long as there were living souls, there would be messengers in each continent. However, this was only the initial recognition. Even if one borrowed the power of the soul to temporarily increase their cultivation level, they would at most reach the late stage of Void Tribulant, not Golden Exalt!
This was a consensus, and over the countless years, very few people had broken it. However, that didn't mean there weren't any. There were some people who were lucky enough to hear the roar of the soul and obtain a high degree of recognition. Then they could borrow soul force to reach Golden Exalt.
However, Golden Exalt was the limit of everything, and it was impossible to surpass it.
Unless one obtained the high degree of recognition from the first celestial soul suppressed under the imperial city, they might be able to reach Golden Exalt. However, aside from that soul, it was impossible for any other soul to reach Golden Exalt.
Most importantly, there were even fewer cultivators who could borrow soul force to reach Golden Exalt than there were Empyrean Exalts. It was almost the same number as Ascendant Empyrean Exalts. This was because in a continent, at most, two people could obtain a high degree of recognition.
As a result, the Devil Dao Sect's old ancestor had never heard of an Empyrean Exalt who was also an Empyrean Exalt and also had a high degree of recognition from a continent's soul.
In his view, this chance was even lower than the chance of an Ascendant Empyrean appearing. It was second only to the birth of a new Grand Empyrean.
"To be able to take two punches from me, he deserves the title of Empyrean Exalt. He is also someone that has a high degree of recognition from the Heavenly Bull soul … This …" The Devil Dao Sect's old ancestor looked at Wang Lin with an emotion he hadn't felt in a long time.
"I fear any Grand Empyrean would pay attention to such a person and immediately recruit him … I just don't know what level his combat power has reached after borrowing soul force!"
The Devil Dao Sect's old ancestor's eyes lit up and his right hand formed a fist. He threw a punch for the third time.
The moment he threw this punch, the punch containing the 27 transformations of his spells formed a giant black hole between him and Wang Lin. This black hole could devour all auras, and the moment it appeared, the ruins of the Devil Dao Sect were all devoured by the black hole.
Even the sky seemed to be collapsing. A large amount of space distorted and turned into an arc that was being devoured by the black hole.
The earth also became a strange semicircle and was mercilessly devoured by the black hole.
The black hole flew toward Wang Lin as it devoured the world!
Wang Lin opened his eyes and his Golden Exalt cultivation filled his body. Wang Lin clearly felt a power he had never felt before. There was a flash of golden light in his eyes and his body flickered. A second body appeared beside him.
As the second body took a step forward, a third, a fourth, a fifth … Xuan to the 98th body manifested. Ninety-seven of them were incomplete, and one of them was real.
"I can't fuse my dao with my body or move my laws with my body, but I can use the Rapid Spell Art to instantly use 98 spells to battle an Empyrean Exalt!!"
