The Empyrean cultivators below were completely silent. The changes of the day caused them to no longer cry out in alarm. They could only stare blankly at the blurry, white-robed figure outside the 16th level of golden light.
Wang Lin had used his actions to reverse the situation that had been disadvantageous to him. All doubts and thoughts were swept away by the wind before absolute strength, leaving nothing behind.
Since the Celestial Emperor had said that the soul armor and external force was not perfect, then Wang Lin would use his actions to tell everyone that a mere 14th palace was not his limit!
Facing everyone's criticism, Wang Lin didn't even open his mouth to defend himself. He just rushed through the 14th palace, the 15th palace, and now he had passed through the 16th palace that he hadn't passed in countless years!!
This was even more powerful and shocking than ten thousand words of justification!
The entire Empyrean Trial was completely silent. Facing the countless gazes below, Wang Lin remained calm and didn't reveal any fluctuations. His eyes were closed as he stood inside the golden light. He seemed to be cultivating as if he was waiting for Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao.
Shockingly, this scene turned into the aura of a grandmaster, causing all the cultivators who saw it to be filled with respect.
Time passed, breath by breath … In the blink of an eye, one incense stick of time passed. However, outside the 16th palace, Wang Lin was still standing there by himself. Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao didn't come out.
After another half an incense stick of time, the 16th palace shrouded in golden light shined once more. Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao laughed as he walked out.
His laughter contained his excitement and excitement. He had been silent for so many years, and today, he had finally passed the sixteenth level!
His body flickered and he appeared before Wang Lin, revealing his figure in black.
"16th palace, I, Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao, have passed the 16th palace today!!
Which Ascendant Empyrean in the celestial clan would dare to compete with me?!
If it weren't for the fact that … "Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly paused, because everything was too quiet. There was not the slightest bit of cheers or cries of surprise for him passing the sixteenth level. Instead, the silent gazes of the cultivators below revealed a complicated expression.
"You're too slow," Wang Lin said slowly.
"You … you passed the sixteenth floor?!"
Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's face immediately turned pale and he stared at Wang Lin. His eyes were filled with killing intent. He would not allow anyone to be stronger than him. Grand Empyreans were fine, but among Ascendant Empyreans, he had to be number one!
However, right now, the cheers and fame that he should have received for passing the sixteenth level had been snatched away by Wang Lin. Moreover, judging from Wang Lin's appearance, it was obvious that Wang Lin had used much less time than him.
This change made Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao angry. His proud heart couldn't bear this kind of thing!
Wang Lin was still as calm as ever as he looked at Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's expression and calmly said, "Again?"
The more indifferent his tone was, the more Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao found it unacceptable. He stared at Wang Lin as if his eyes were going to spit out fire.
"This person's heart is like this. I really don't know how he reached his current cultivation level, but perhaps it is related to his proud dao. The more he is like this, the more it stimulates his mind. He will experience the pain of being surpassed and immerse himself in his understanding of life's distortion.
"Just like a bow, the more you bend, the more potential you can release. However … Even if it is the toughest bow in the world, I'm going to break it today!"
Wang Lin looked at Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao. How could Wang Lin forget the humiliation he had received from Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao? He would never let this person go.
Not to mention that Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao was the person the Celestial Emperor valued the most. Destroying him would be a powerful counterattack to the Celestial Emperor's words!
If he wanted to destroy Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao, he would have to completely shatter his confidence. He would have to force Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao to enter the 17th palace with him. He would once again ruthlessly trample on Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's arrogance, completely shatter Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's heart, and forever suppress Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao!
Just like a bow, the more it bends, the more potential it has. However, once it exceeds its limit, what potential is there? It will break!
Wang Lin was ruthless and vicious. He wanted to use this opportunity to destroy Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's heart!
"Since we have already shed all pretenses, then let's tear it even more!" Wang Lin sneered in his heart and revealed a look of contempt as he looked at Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao.
This gaze of contempt caused Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao to clench his fists.
"Ming Dao, return to the palace with this body!"
Just at this moment, the Celestial Emperor's expression was no longer gloomy and he calmly spoke. After he finished speaking, his eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Wang Lin.
"Good, a powerful person has appeared in my celestial clan today. Wang Lin, this emperor has misunderstood you before. Once I return to the imperial city, I'll immediately issue a decree to the world!
"Also, we had an agreement back then. I invited you to the imperial city, and now that many years have passed and you've become an Ascendant Empyrean, we'll add this matter together. A new Ascendant Empyrean has appeared in my celestial clan, and the imperial family has to confer the title. This is a grand ceremony. Come to the imperial family and this emperor will personally carry it out for you!"
The Celestial Emperor smiled as if he wasn't angry at all. His smile was like the spring breeze, and it affected the minds of all the surrounding cultivators. They all lowered their heads and clasped their hands.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he slowly said, "I'll have to trouble the Celestial Emperor."
"No problem. Ming Dao, why aren't you leaving?!"
The Celestial Emperor smiled and suddenly looked at Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao, who was struggling in the sky. He let out a roar that echoed like Thunder in Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's mind. The anger on his face suddenly disappeared and was replaced with calmness. He stood there and looked at Wang Lin. At this moment, there was no longer any anger in his body.
He took a deep look at Wang Lin, then his body flickered and he immediately flew down.
Wang Lin frowned. This Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao had actually calmed down all his anger and even suppressed his unbearable pride. Once he returned, with his special dao, it was very likely he would make a breakthrough!
Wang Lin could ignore Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao when he was angry, but when Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao suddenly calmed down, Wang Lin felt a trace of danger.
"Why aren't you trying?" Wang Lin's expression remained calm and his words were cold.
When the Celestial Emperor heard this, he frowned an undetectable amount. Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao didn't seem to hear it and walked toward the Celestial Emperor.
"So this is Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao. Disappointing!
He doesn't even have the courage to try the 17th palace. "
Wang Lin saw that Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao didn't even turn his head. This strange change made Wang Lin feel that it wasn't by chance that Ascendant Empyrean had become the number one Ascendant Empyrean.
However, the more this was the case, the more Wang Lin wanted to destroy Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao here!
"Wang Lin, what is the meaning of this?" The Celestial Emperor's eyes revealed a powerful pressure as he looked at Wang Lin.
Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao stopped and pondered for a breath of time. He closed his eyes as if he was struggling, but after one breath, he calmed down once more. He didn't say a word and closed in on the Celestial Emperor.
"I just want him to try the 17th palace. If he fails, he can leave!" Wang Lin smiled. His laughter caused Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's heart to ache.
This was what he had said to Wang Lin before!
Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's breathing became rough and he stopped once more. It was as if anger was burning inside his body. His self-esteem was something he couldn't bear. However, just at this moment, the Celestial Emperor waved his sleeves. A gentle wind wrapped around Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao and threw him toward the ancient transfer array.
"Return to the palace!"
Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao resisted the urge to turn around. His eyes were bloodshot as he was pushed by the Celestial Emperor. The transfer array lit up as if it was about to activate.
There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes. He couldn't let Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao leave like this!
The moment the transfer array activated, Wang Lin suddenly raised his right hand and pointed at the ancient transfer array!
With that one finger, 99 illusions appeared and gathered together to form a giant finger. With a shocking howl, it charged toward the transfer array.
The Celestial Emperor became angry and was about to make a move. However, just at this moment, Grand Empyrean Wu Feng laughed and casually took a step forward. However, this simple step caused the Celestial Emperor to pause.
Both of them were Grand Empyreans, and at this moment, their auras locked onto each other. If the Celestial Emperor moved, Wu Feng would definitely attack.
With such a delay, the illusory giant finger whistled towards the teleportation array!
Inside the transfer array, Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao suddenly raised his head and let out a roar. He was in the transfer array, so he couldn't attack. He clenched his teeth and walked out of the transfer array. The moment he walked out, the giant finger before him disappeared like smoke, as if it was mocking him!
This was exactly the same thing Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao had done to Wang Lin!
"Wang Lin!!!"
After walking out of the transfer array, Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao suddenly looked up and stared at Wang Lin. The anger and humiliation in his body were about to erupt.
"Wang Lin, you have guts to violate the rules and attack here. Today, this emperor will capture you!" The Celestial Emperor obviously didn't think Wang Lin would dare to attack.
"Oh?
Did I hurt anyone?
Was he injured? Since he wasn't injured, how could I violate the rules? "Wang Lin smiled. His words were the same as the Celestial Emperor's!
The Celestial Emperor paused and was about to speak, but Wang Lin was faster. He looked at Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao, who was suppressing his anger, and his voice echoed across the world.
"So you no longer have any pride and have given up your self-esteem. I was wondering why you were in such a hurry to leave and not go to the 17th palace. I fear not only have you given up your self-esteem, you have also lost your faith. You are just a walking corpse that listens to the Celestial Emperor's arrangements. He told you to leave, but you didn't dare to not leave.
"Forget it, a cultivator like you isn't qualified for me to take another look at you. Scram!"
Wang Lin waved his sleeves. He didn't hold back his contempt and stabbed Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao's heart like a knife.
"What a disappointment!"
This last sentence caused Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao to no longer be able to suppress it. His body trembled as he raised his head and charged into the sky.
"Wang Lin, we will go to the 17th palace together!!!"
"Good!" Wang Lin laughed and entered the 17th palace almost at the same time as Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao!
The Celestial Emperor was about to stop them, but he was stopped by Wu Feng.
"Lian Daozhen, we won't interfere in the competition between Ascendant Empyreans.
