"I don't need to defeat you, I just need you to not move!"
Wang Lin's body flickered and the vortex formed by the five Spell Veins in his body rotated rapidly. As Wang Lin moved, 97 afterimages appeared in the sky!
Together with his original body, there were 98 bodies!
Each afterimage was exactly the same as the original body and was extremely real. They appeared because Wang Lin was too fast. With one move, 97 afterimages appeared.
"Stop!"
"Stop!!"
"Stop!!!"
The 97 afterimages and the original body all used a spell at this moment. This spell was the Stop Spell!
The moment this spell appeared, the world changed colors. The 98 Wang Lins in the sky all reached out with their right hands and pointed at the beautiful woman below!
With this, the 97 afterimages gathered together and fused with Wang Lin's original body. A giant shadow appeared in the world, and this shadow was a finger that could support the world!!
This finger appeared and pointed at Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi!!
50 years ago, when Wang Lin put on the soul armor and used the Rapid Spell Art to fuse 98 spells, he was able to force the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Exalt old ancestor back. He had even used the robe that Grand Empyrean Exalt Dao Yi had given him to save his life.
Even a sliver of Grand Empyrean Dao Yi's divine sense was able to break Wang Lin's earth-shattering blow!
Now, Wang Lin had challenged for 50 years in a row and had completely mastered the increase in cultivation he had gained in the Scorpion Temple. During those challenges, his cultivation had reached a perfect state. The current Wang Lin didn't even need to wear the soul armor to defeat many Empyrean Exalts. He could even defeat the Devil Dao Sect's Empyrean Exalt old ancestor without the soul armor!
He was already very strong, completely different from how he was 50 years ago. Now that he was wearing the Soul Armor and using the Rapid God Incantation to fuse the 98 Mystic Arts into one, his power was far greater than before!
Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi's expression changed and she revealed a look of disbelief. This was the first time she had seen Wang Lin use his full power. Those 98 spells shocked her!
As he pointed his finger at the sky, everything in the world seemed to come to a standstill. The sea breeze stopped, the waves calmed, and the movement of the world suddenly stopped.
This power could make everything like this. When it landed on Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi, even her body trembled and her right hand stopped in the air. Even her origin soul was stopped by this finger!!
Ninety-eight Freeze Spells!
Ninety-eight times of the Fixed Body Art!
Wang Lin's face was pale. He had used all of his strength in this attack.
After using the Fixed Body Art 98 times, a change that Wang Lin couldn't describe began to appear. It was extremely similar to the scene when Heavenly Venerate Dao Yi's Divine Sense avatar had appeared.
"There is no feud between us, I don't want to kill you!"
Wang Lin looked at the frozen Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi and then charged toward the bottom of the sea. He was so fast that he disappeared without a trace.
Back then, even though he had fused 98 Mystic Arts into one, he couldn't fuse them into one like a powerful Empyrean Exalt. It was like he only had soldiers but no general. That was why a Grand Empyrean's divine sense avatar could shatter it with one punch.
However, right now he wasn't considered his true body. He could fuse nine Mystic Arts into his body. Due to the uniqueness of his true body, he could compress it to the level of 36 Mystic Arts. As a result, the difference in power was huge!
It was like how back then it was just a group of scattered soldiers, but now there was a general. Although the general wasn't powerful, the power of the Mystic Arts increased greatly!
After freezing Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi, Wang Lin knew he wouldn't have much time. He moved very fast and instantly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Time slowly passed. On the fourth breath, Wang Lin arrived at the deepest part of the sea. There was a lot of pressure here, enough to crush the body of an ordinary cultivator. However, it was no problem for Wang Lin, who had an Ancient Dao body.
On the seabed, Wang Lin raised his right hand and threw a punch at the bottom of the sea. With this punch, the sea churned like crazy and turned into 98 vortexes before Wang Lin that shot toward the bottom of the sea.
Thunderous rumbles echoed and the seabed collapsed, revealing a giant hole. Large amounts of sea water rushed in, making the hole look like a black hole.
Wang Lin didn't hesitate. During these three years, he had already scouted the Mountain Sea and knew how to find the Mountain Sea Tree that supported the Mountain Sea!
With a sway of his body, he charged toward the black hole and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, it was the sixth breath!
The Golden Exalt octopus was also within the range of the Stop spell and remained motionless. The beautiful woman on the octopus was still in the same position and couldn't even close her eyes.
The sea dragon was on the side, and its eyes were filled with pride. It let out a roar at the octopus, as if it was roaring something only sea beasts like them could understand.
As for what it was saying, it was likely only it or the octopus, who might not be able to hear, could understand.
Time passed. On the eighth breath, Wang Lin appeared at the bottom of the Mountain Sea, the world inside the black hole. There was nothing here, and there was a giant tree submerged in the sea!
This tree was very large, half the size of the Mountain Sea, and it was impossible to see the end. The trunk was withered, but the branches that grew out continued to spread, supporting the entire Mountain Sea.
Compared to it, Wang Lin was almost imperceptible. There was a death aura coming from the tree, and there were layers of seals around it.
In addition to that, there was also a strong killing aura, as if this tree had killed countless people in the past!
Outside the withered trunk and the layers of seals, seven green orbs of light floated around. Each of the orbs was only the size of a fist, and seemed disproportionate to the size of the tree.
These green orbs of light were what Wang Lin needed. They were the Mountain Sea Tree Spirits that were formed after the soul of the Mountain Sea Tree died. These spirits could allow a cultivator to give birth to the wood essence!
The Mountain Sea Tree used to have quite a number of such tree spirits, but after its souls died, many people had taken them away. Now, there were only seven of them left!
These Mountain Sea Tree Spirits were not inside the seal, but for some reason, they were floating outside the seal, as if the seal had no effect on the tree spirits.
Ten breaths had already passed!
Without any hesitation, Wang Lin flew up from under the Mountain Sea Tree. With a wave of his sleeve, six of the seven Mountain Sea Tree Spirits flew toward him. He put them into his storage space, then turned around to leave.
Just as he turned around, Wang Lin suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his eyes, and the golden light in his eyes flickered uncontrollably. This sudden change caused Wang Lin's body to stop.
Within the stabbing pain in his eyes, there was a strange calling, as if there was something strange inside the Mountain Sea Tree that was attracting the existence in Wang Lin's eyes!
The old man from the Green Devil Scorpion Temple had once fused a fragment of the Celestial Extreme Sword into Wang Lin's eyes, causing his eyes to be filled with majesty, like a sword that could suppress anything.
He suddenly turned around, and as his eyes flickered with golden light, Wang Lin immediately noticed that there was a golden light charging toward him from the Mountain Sea Tree.
All of this happened in an instant. The moment Wang Lin noticed the golden light, he saw that there was a golden fragment the size of a palm within the golden light that was approaching the Mountain Sea Tree!!
"The fragment of the Celestial Extreme Sword!" Wang Lin's eyes narrowed.
The golden fragment the size of a palm charged toward Wang Lin from the Mountain Sea Tree, as if it wasn't the one summoning Wang Lin, but Wang Lin was the one summoning it.
However, just as the golden fragment was about to penetrate the seal of the Mountain Sea Tree, a blinding light erupted from the seal, preventing the fragment from going out. As a series of ripples spread out, the fragment pierced into the seal. Half of it was revealed outside the seal, but the rest of it was stuck by the power of the seal, unable to come out completely.
When half of it appeared outside the seal, the golden light in Wang Lin's eyes became even more intense. The stabbing pain made him feel as if there was a similar fragment that was about to rush out of his eyes.
"How could this Mountain Sea Tree have a fragment of the Celestial Extreme Sword!?"
In the past 50 years, Wang Lin had intentionally searched for the origin of the items that the old man from the Green Devil Scorpion Temple had fused into his body. After all, if he wanted to completely master them, he needed to understand them.
According to the legends, the Celestial Extreme Sword had been shattered by the tail of the Celestial Ancestor during his battle with the Green Devil Scorpion. However, Wang Lin had heard no less than ten such legends in the past 50 years!
In almost all the continents where these legends were located, the spirits from beyond the heavens sealed there had caused the Celestial Extreme Sword to shatter.
Because of that, even Wang Lin could not tell which was real and which was fake.
In fact, there was even a legend that the Celestial Extreme Sword had exploded on its own after the Celestial Ancestor went missing. It turned into fragments that spread out and spread to various spots in the Immortals' territory!
These thoughts flashed in Wang Lin's mind, and he hesitated for a moment.
"This seal was set up by the Celestial Ancestor. If I want to take this fragment … I might activate the power of the seal!"
Fifteen breaths had passed since the beginning of time. A resolute look appeared in Wang Lin's eyes. He took a few steps back, but he did not go forward with his real body. Instead, he cautiously moved, and his true form of Thunder manifested. He charged at the fragment, and once he closed in on it, he lifted his right hand and grabbed at it!
"Green Devil Temple also has a seal. It wasn't a big problem in the past, but this seal seems to be slightly different … But riches come from danger. If I leave just like that, I won't be able to accept it!"
The True Body of Lightning grabbed the half of the fragment that was sticking out of the ground.
The moment his right hand grabbed the fragment, the sealing power of the Mountain Sea Tree erupted!!
Ripples appeared where the Celestial Extreme Sword fragment was stuck. The ripples immediately formed a giant face. This face was filled with majesty and gave off a powerful pressure as it charged at Wang Lin's true form of Thunder.
An ancient voice echoed in the depths of the sea. "Discovered a spirit not from the Immortal Astral Continent, seal!!"
"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Wang Lin's eyes lit up.
