At this moment, in the Empyrean Trial, Wang Lin's figure charged into the sky. He didn't want this to happen. He originally wanted to pass the Shi San level, but the Celestial Emperor's words made Wang Lin's heart burn with anger!
This anger proved his previous guess that the trip to the imperial city would be extremely dangerous!
That was why the Celestial Emperor wanted to deal a blow to Wang Lin's momentum so that no Grand Empyreans would recruit him. Even if they did, they wouldn't treat him the same way they did when he passed the Shi San level.
This method was the most direct, but it was extremely effective!
From his most glorious moment, he had fallen from the peak of everyone's attention to being scorned by everyone. This was a strong contrast that Wang Lin could ignore. He wasn't the kind of person who cared about this kind of thing, but if he did this, his shocking goal would be a farce. Not only would it fail, but it would also make him infamous across the celestial clan.
He would never allow such a thing to happen!
Even if it was the Celestial Emperor, he would fight him!
"15th palace, good. Since you all think my Shi San level is the end, then today I'll be completely arrogant and erupt. Celestial Emperor, for you to be so despicable, I can see the shamelessness in your bloodline!
"No wonder the person sealed under the Dong Lin Sect had resentment that lingered after death and said such despicable words!"
Wang Lin's eyes became cold. He was very fast and instantly arrived at the Shi San level. In a flash, he moved like a dragon and charged toward the 14th palace.
When Wang Lin was about to enter the 14th palace, he stopped and looked down.
"Celestial Emperor, open your eyes and watch Wang carefully!"
Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao immediately shouted, "Presumptuous!"
However, the Celestial Emperor's expression remained the same and he faintly smiled.
"I'm watching to see if you can pass the 15th palace!" However, his pupils shrank an undetectable amount.
Wang Lin sneered. Since he had torn off all pretenses, he no longer had any scruples. Once this matter spread, he would be safer in the imperial city.
He took a step forward and entered the fourteenth level!
"The soul armor doesn't have much time left. Since I've chosen to shock everyone, I'll use the avatar in the law of the Immortal Astral Continent!!
Avatar, fuse with the soul! "Wang Lin's figure disappeared from the 14th palace.
After Wang Lin entered the fourteenth level, the cultivators below were silent. This sudden change was no less shocking than the fact that Wang Lin had used his soul armor to pass the Shi San level.
"Among the current Ascendant Empyreans, only Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao and Cai Wei have passed the 14th palace … This Wang Lin is someone who deceives the world. He can't pass it!"
"The reason why he's acting like this is probably because he's angry out of humiliation, and he's planning to risk his life."
"Interesting. Today's events in the Empyrean Trial have been full of twists and turns. I wonder what the final change will be."
"There's no need to think about it. This person can't pass it!
His soul armor has already run out of time, so what right does he have to pass it? "
The Empyrean Exalts coldly looked at the sky. They were all very indifferent toward Wang Lin and felt even more contempt. As for the dozens of Ascendant Empyreans, they all looked at the sky with different thoughts. However, most of them believed that Wang Lin would fail. They believed that Wang Lin's actions were like a trapped beast going crazy.
Grand Empyrean Dao Yi looked at the sky and frowned. He also didn't think Wang Lin could pass the 14th palace.
"His heart isn't strong enough to risk his life after just a few words from the Celestial Emperor. This child is not worth recruiting."
Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao sneered as if this was the only expression he had. However, there was a hint of dread in his eyes as he looked at the sky. He didn't know why, but he felt like something was wrong.
The Celestial Emperor beside him remained silent. His expression was calm, but there was some hesitation in his heart.
"Based on my understanding of him, unless he is confident, he rarely does this … However, he doesn't have a soul armor, so it will be difficult for him to pass the 14th palace. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to leave.
He is just asking to be humiliated! "
However, just as the Celestial Emperor had this thought, only nine breaths of time passed. Suddenly, there was a burst of dazzling, golden light!!
This golden light came from the 14th palace. It penetrated the clouds and shrouded the area.
This golden light was extremely dazzling. It pierced the eyes of all the cultivators below and into their minds!!
"Nine breaths!!
Impossible, he took so long to pass the Shi San palace. How could he pass the even more difficult 14th palace in nine breaths!? "
"He … He actually … passed it!!
Isn't his soul armor no longer usable?!
He doesn't have a soul armor, so isn't he only able to pass the fifth palace?! "
"Could it be that he has other soul armors?"
Grand Empyrean Dao Yi was startled. His body flickered and he charged into the sky to see the bright light from the 14th palace up close!
"He actually passed the 14th palace!" Ming Dao was filled with killing intent as he stared at the sky.
"It doesn't matter, it is only the 14th palace." The Celestial Emperor looked at the sky and his pupils shrank once more before he slowly closed his eyes.
In the sky, Wang Lin's figure appeared outside the 14th palace. He didn't stop or rest at all. Instead, he charged toward the 15th palace!
As his figure entered the 15th palace, the crowd below began to buzz violently.
"He passed the 14th palace in nine breaths of time and then charged to the 15th palace. Could it be that we misunderstood him before!?"
"Even if he has a soul armor, it is still extremely amazing to be able to reach the 15th palace!"
Grand Empyrean Dao Yi stared at the sky. He originally wanted to give up, but he suddenly thought about it again.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths … When Wang Lin entered the 15th palace for nine breaths, the 15th palace erupted with dazzling golden light once more!!
This golden light penetrated the clouds and rapidly spread. The appearance of this golden light was like a giant palm that mercilessly slapped the Celestial Emperor's face. The Celestial Emperor suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a rare look of shock!!
Grand Empyrean Dao Yi took a deep breath and his eyes shined brightly.
"We have all seen this child. He has even more terrifying potential than Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao. Even the soul armor is a part of his strength!
At the very least, even if it was someone else wearing the same soul armor, who would dare to say they could pass the 15th palace!? "
Grand Empyrean Wu Feng's expression was calm, but he revealed a smile. He didn't hide the admiration in his eyes. He didn't hesitate to confront the Celestial Emperor because he wanted to make a bet. Once he succeeded, Wang Lin would remember this. Even if Wang Lin didn't immediately choose to follow him, once Wang Lin became a Grand Empyrean, it would be a good karma!
"15th palace … He passed the 15th palace …" Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's eyes were filled with monstrous killing intent. His arrogance made it impossible for him to accept something like this happening. He suddenly charged into the sky.
This scene was witnessed by everyone, causing the cultivators to cry out in surprise!
"He still passed one palace in nine breaths. This Wang Lin is not what we thought he was!"
"This person has a powerful cultivation and is not someone we can figure out. He was clearly hiding his strength and didn't want to stand out too much. If it wasn't for the Celestial Emperor forcing him, he wouldn't have tried!
"That's right, there must be some secret between him and the Celestial Emperor. That's why the Celestial Emperor attacked him like that!"
The same thoughts appeared among the Ascendant Empyrean cultivators. At this moment, they no longer felt disdain for Wang Lin. There was only a complicated sense of admiration!
No matter what method he used, being able to pass the 15th palace was strength!!
Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi smiled when she saw this. She looked at the sky. Although she knew that the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger and that she could only look up at the sky, she was still very happy.
Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's figure flew out and brought this uproar to a new height. The moment Wang Lin walked out from the 15th palace and flew toward the 16th palace, the two of them stepped into the 16th palace at the same time!!
The Empyrean Trial didn't only allow one person to enter at a time. The two of them entered at the same time but wouldn't meet. They would enter separately!
The 16th palace hadn't emitted any golden light in countless years. It wasn't like the 15th palace below, which had emitted golden light once.
"Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao and Wang Lin are going to attempt the 16th palace at the same time. Who will succeed?" Grand Empyrean Dao Yi's eyes shined as he looked at the sky, and anticipation appeared in his heart.
After all, one of them had been famous for many years and the other had just risen to fame. Both of them entering the 16th palace at the same time was a major event for the entire celestial clan!
Wu Feng's expression also became serious. Each level of the Empyrean Trial was more difficult than the last. Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao had attempted the 16th palace twice and failed both times.
The Celestial Emperor was in the distance, and his expression was extremely gloomy. With his status, the words he had just spoken had been blown away by someone else. It was like an invisible slap to his face. At this moment, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, nine breaths went by. The moment the ninth breath began, the 16th palace that hadn't emitted any light for countless years erupted with dazzling golden light!!
"Golden light, this is the 16th palace!!
The 16th palace has been passed!!
Among the current Ascendant Empyreans, no one has passed the 16th palace before! "
"Who is it? Which of the two of them passed?"
"Nine breaths, it must be Wang Lin!"
"Not necessarily. Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao has been famous for many years. If he wasn't confident, how could he easily attempt it? In my opinion, it must be Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao this time!"
Dao Yi, Wu Feng, and the Celestial Emperor all looked up. They also wanted to know who it was!
Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi nervously looked at the sky, but soon, her eyes were filled with joy!
Outside the 16th palace, Wang Lin walked out. His face was slightly pale and he didn't immediately go to the 17th palace. He stood there and looked at the palace as if he was waiting for Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao!
This scene caused Dao Yi's eyes to widen. Grand Empyrean Wu Feng's eyes were filled with shock. As for the Celestial Emperor, his expression changed to one of disbelief.
Forget them, even Grand Empyrean Jiu Ti on Mount Emperor gasped.
