The white-haired old man's originally cloudy eyes suddenly shone with an extremely bright light. His slightly hunchbacked body slowly straightened up, and at this moment, his entire person's aura suddenly rose.
All of the cultivators in the city suddenly lost control of their spiritual energy. They all felt like their spiritual energy was leaving their bodies and were terrified.
This feeling came quickly and left just as quickly. The white-haired old man's body suddenly moved, and he disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this moment, a roar came from the black fog above the Sea of Devils. Shortly after, a giant Black Tortoise that was tens of thousands of feet long came out of the black fog.
Its huge head emitted waves of majestic pressure. After looking down, it opened its mouth and took a deep breath. Immediately, all of the Spiritual Qi within a radius of a hundred kilometers was sucked in by it like rivers returning to the sea. Then it burped and settled down, quickly moving forward in the black fog.
On its back was the white haired old man from before. He cursed, "Animal, I let you carry me for a trip and you sucked in so much spiritual energy. Are you not afraid of bursting to death? If you do, I'll have a taste of the Black Tortoise's flesh."
As for Wang Lin, he was sitting in the lotus position inside the cave. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of fear. This feeling came from above the Sea of Devils.
Wang Lin frowned. He waved his right hand in an attempt to put away the restriction flag, but he found that the restriction flag was surrounded by an invisible force and he couldn't put it away.
This strange scene caused Wang Lin's expression to change. He suddenly stood up and formed many seals with his hand. However, every time the seals landed on the restriction flag, they were immediately dissipated by the invisible force. Not a single seal was able to penetrate the restriction flag.
At this moment, the fear in his heart grew more and more intense. He frowned and immediately opened his Eye of Divine Sense. Suddenly, his expression changed greatly.
Through his Divine Sense Eye, he clearly saw a thin red line coming from the restriction flag. This red line ignored the barrier of the cave and went straight up.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. Without a word, he charged forward, opened the door to the cave, and charged out.
Outside the cave, he stabilized his body and looked up.
He saw the red line come out of the cave and go into the black fog. Wang Lin pondered a bit. He pointed to his brow and the second devil appeared.
After the second devil appeared, it didn't wait for Wang Lin's order before disappearing. With Wang Lin's Divine Sense Eye, he could see a very fast shadow enter the black fog.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. He looked around and found that there were only a few people in the city, but no one noticed the red line.
Wang Lin's heart was filled with doubt. The feeling of fear became even stronger. This feeling was similar to when Wang Lin was facing the ancient god Tu Si.
He pondered a bit and quickly searched through the ancient god Tu Si's memories. He wanted to use these clues to figure out what was going on. Why did such a strange thing happen when the restriction flag appeared?
As for the second devil, its speed was very fast as it flew through the black fog. When it was alive, it was a beast that excelled at flying, and now that it had turned into a devil, its speed was even faster. In truth, if they were comparing speed, even Wang Lin wouldn't be faster than it.
If Qiu Siping hadn't trapped the beast with a black fog treasure six days ago, it would've disappeared without a trace with its speed if he had given it a chance.
It was as fast as lightning as it charged toward the Sea of Devils that had turned into mist.
At this moment, above the Sea of Devils, the expanding red clouds suddenly shrank a bit. Originally, it was more than 10 kilometers wide, but now, a bump appeared in the center.
The protrusion grew larger and larger. Finally, Xing Wei looked like a ball filled with water as he fell down.
At this moment, a thunderous roar came from the bottom of the ball. Then, a hole appeared at the bottom and a pillar of red clouds that looked like it could pierce through the entire Suzaku fell from the sky with the power to destroy the world.
The instant the pillar of red clouds descended, the surrounding red clouds shrank rapidly. They shrank from their original size of five miles to seven or eight miles.
It was clear that all the red clouds had gathered inside the pillar and descended from the sky.
The speed of the pillar of red clouds was unimaginable. In the blink of an eye, it descended from the sky into the fog of the Sea of Devils.
Along the way, the sound of something tearing through the air could be heard. Circular ripples appeared along the path of the red cloud pillar and spread out in all directions.
Apart from the ring-shaped ripples, there were also countless tiny spatial cracks in the surroundings. The cracks were so dense that they looked like shattered mirrors. Anyone who looked at them could not help but feel shocked.
The moment the pillar of red clouds landed on the black fog of the Sea of Devils, the black fog in the Sea of Devils began to boil. All of the beasts inside the black fog began to roar as they tried to escape.
At the same time, the black fog in the Sea of Devils dissipated and turned into black clouds. However, the pillar of red clouds didn't slow down and continued to descend.
As it sank, more and more of the fog in the Sea of Devils turned into black clouds. All of the fog in the Sea of Devils, whether it was the Outer Sea or the Inner Sea, began to churn violently and gather toward the red cloud.
If one looked from above, they would see that all the fog in the Sea of Devils had formed a giant vortex. At the center of the vortex was the pillar of red clouds that could destroy the heavens.
The endless black fog continued to move toward the center. At the same time, more and more black clouds floated up from the pillar of red clouds.
In the end, after the pillar of red clouds sank about two-thirds of the way into the fog, all of the fog around the Sea of Devils appeared in the inner part of the Sea of Devils. At this moment, for the first time, the fog that had surrounded the Sea of Devils for countless years completely disappeared.
There was no longer the obstruction of the sea water or the fog. For the first time, sunlight truly shined on the outer sea of the Sea of Devils.
The light illuminated the pitch-black land and the ancient city, as well as the countless cultivators with panicked expressions.
Some of the cultivators had never seen sunlight this strong in their lives, so they couldn't help but become excited.
If the Sea of Devils was a giant circle, then at this moment, all of the fog around the circle had shrunk. All of the fog had either evaporated into black clouds or was being sucked into the inner sea.
At this moment, the pillar of red clouds had shrunk a few times. All of the black fog in the Sea of Devils had condensed into a thick pillar of black fog and collided with the pillar of red clouds.
Immediately, a ring-shaped wave of air spread out from the point of contact, quickly spreading out in all directions. Any creature in the fog that was touched by the ring-shaped wave of air would be turned to dust, dying without a single trace.
At the same time, the pillar of red clouds finally dissipated.
However, this wasn't the end. In the sky, the remaining seven or eight kilometers of red clouds suddenly moved. They turned into a pillar of red clouds and descended once more.
This time, all of the red clouds rushed out. There were no longer any red clouds in the sky. They all turned into pillars of red clouds and descended along the same path as before.
In the first two-thirds of the way, because there was no fog blocking it, almost in the blink of an eye, the red cloud pillar landed in its previous position, colliding with the rapidly rising black fog.
A thunderous rumble that all the cultivators in the Sea of Devils could hear came from this location. At the same time, large amounts of black fog were completely destroyed. Black clouds rose up from the Sea of Devils and gathered in the sky.
After the pillar of red clouds shrank by more than half, it still stubbornly descended.
The moment the second devil saw that the situation was bad, it quickly retreated. Wang Lin clearly saw this shocking scene through the second devil.
At this moment, almost all of the cultivators in the Sea of Devils came out of the cities and caves. Even those that were in closed door cultivation stopped and looked up at the sky in terror.
When Wang Lin saw the pillar of red clouds through the second devil, a word suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Divine retribution …"
Wang Lin muttered to himself. Through the ancient god's memories, he quickly scanned through everything related to divine retribution. In his memories, the ancient god Tu Si had experienced countless divine retributions.
Aside from the fear he had of divine retribution at the beginning, once his body was reformed four times, divine retribution was the best tonic for the ancient god.
At the same time, every time the god refined a treasure, it would trigger divine retribution. Sometimes, the ancient god would use the power of the divine retribution to determine the quality of the treasure he was refining.
The more powerful the divine retribution was, the more powerful the treasure was. The weaker the divine retribution was, the weaker the treasure was.
Of course, this was only a very rough calculation. In reality, there was a big difference. For example, the power of Wang Lin's restriction flag couldn't compare to the divine retribution at all.
In reality, the real reason for the divine retribution was the ink stone. The ink stone had been in the ancient god's body for too long, so it naturally contained a trace of the ancient god's aura. This was why the divine retribution that hadn't appeared in the cultivation world for countless years descended for the first time.
Similarly, the divine retribution hadn't appeared for countless years, so the power it had accumulated had reached a terrifying level. That was why this divine retribution from a treasure contained an unimaginable amount of power.
All of this information flashed through Wang Lin's mind. He understood that the thing that triggered the divine retribution was the restriction flag.
Without saying a word, he quickly rushed back to the cave. Looking at the restriction flag that was still floating in the air, his hands continuously formed restrictions in an attempt to take it away.
According to the information Wang Lin obtained from the god's memory, if the divine retribution really hit the restriction flag, it would immediately turn to dust.
Wang Lin couldn't allow the treasure that he had spent so much effort to refine to be destroyed by the divine retribution. His eyes shined brightly as he continued to create restrictions in an attempt to take the restriction flag back.
Slowly, the invisible force around the restriction flag loosened a bit, but it still didn't ease up. At this moment, thunderous rumbles came from the sky and the black fog quickly dissipated. In the blink of an eye, for the first time, there was no more water or fog in the Sea of Devils. What was revealed was a very large, borderless land.
The red cloud pillar no longer had anything blocking it. It descended from the sky at its fastest speed. Its target was the Qilin Beast City.
The cultivators inside the city all revealed looks of panic. They all used their full power and scattered in all directions.
The red cloud pillar descended!
The moment it hit the Qilin Beast City, the Qilin Beast's body suddenly collapsed. Starting from the head, all of the scales on its body were lifted up by the destructive force.
Wang Lin was inside the cave when he felt a powerful force coming from all directions. In an instant, he coughed out blood. He let out a sigh and was about to give up.
However, at this moment, the invisible force around the restriction flag suddenly disappeared. Wang Lin's eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the restriction flag.
At the same time, his body charged out from the collapsed Qilin Beast. However, the moment he charged out, a red cloud suddenly shot out from the collapsed Qilin Beast and shot toward the restriction flag in Wang Lin's hand.
The speed of the red cloud was too fast. If Wang Lin put the restriction flag into his bag of holding, it would be useless. The bag of holding would only collapse.
At this moment, Wang Lin clenched his teeth and bent his right hand. The moment the red cloud shot toward him, he flipped the restriction flag in his left hand. With the flip of his right hand, a magic treasure that he didn't control appeared in his hand.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The moment Wang Lin switched to the magic treasure, the red cloud had already landed on it. The magic treasure immediately collapsed and Wang Lin's body immediately flew out.
However, at the moment the treasure collapsed, there was still a very small red line that flew out. This time, without Wang Lin having any time to react, the red line landed on his right hand.
At this moment, Wang Lin's body trembled and he coughed out several mouthfuls of blood. Even his golden core shrank a lot. Only then was he able to stop the red cloud from exploding inside his body.
Wang Lin's face was pale. He could feel that the spiritual energy inside his body was in chaos. He was using the power of his golden core to stop the red cloud from exploding. However, he knew that his time was limited. If he couldn't get rid of the red cloud in a short period of time, then what awaited him would be the destruction of his golden core. Once all of his spiritual energy was gone, his golden core would shatter and his body would be destroyed. Even his divine sense wouldn't be able to escape the power of the divine retribution.
At this moment, a lot of cultivators came out from the Qilin Beast. As a result, no one noticed what was happening to Wang Lin. These cultivators all fled in panic.
The entire Qilin City was destroyed.
At this moment, black rain began to fall from the sky. All of the fog in the Sea of Devils had been evaporated by the power of the divine retribution. Now that the divine retribution had disappeared, the black clouds began to drip with rain.
This was the first time rain fell from the sky in the Sea of Devils, even though the rain was black.
This time, the divine retribution had a great impact. First, all of the fog in the Sea of Devils disappeared. This caused a chain reaction. Some of the creatures inside the fog died, but most of them managed to escape.
Even some of the powerful desolate beasts that lived in the fog appeared in the Sea of Devils one by one.
From this moment on, the name of the Sea of Devils should be changed to the Land of Devils, that would be the most appropriate.
The appearance of many rare beasts caused a series of incidents of beasts killing people and humans killing beasts. Every cultivator knew that these beasts had cores inside their bodies. Whether it was to refine pills or create incense, they could all increase one's cultivation level.
At the same time, because all of the fog above the Sea of Devils disappeared, the Sea of Devils lost its natural barrier. As a result, all of the cultivation countries around the Sea of Devils turned their attention to the Sea of Devils.
Luckily, a few large sects in the Sea of Devils that had existed for tens of thousands of years appeared and stabilized the situation.
However, in private, there were many cultivators that took advantage of this to kill people and steal their treasures. As a result, the already chaotic situation in the Sea of Devils became even more chaotic.
However, none of this had anything to do with Wang Lin. He could clearly feel that his golden core was shrinking. There was a thin, red line on top of his golden core. This red line was rapidly melting the spiritual energy in his golden core. Once the spiritual energy in his golden core completely dissipated, the only thing waiting for Wang Lin would be death.
Because his golden core had shrunk, his cultivation level had fallen from the late stage to the mid stage. According to Wang Lin's calculations, in three hours, he would fall from the mid stage to the early stage. At that point, it would only take half an hour for his golden core to shatter.
As for the seven day agreement with Qiu Siping, Wang Lin didn't have time to care about it. The most important thing right now was to resolve the divine retribution red line as soon as possible.
Wang Lin's face was gloomy. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with killing intent. In order to survive, he was going to start a massacre!
Unfortunately, he had already used up all the spirit liquid in the Land of the Ancient God. He didn't have much left in Qi Lin City, or else he would be able to last for a while.
Just at this moment, a middle-aged man in black quickly charged toward Wang Lin. At the same time, this person gloomily said, "Mid stage Core Formation … it's you!"
The moment he finished speaking, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. The other party was at the late stage of Core Formation, but not only did Wang Lin not dodge, he even sped up and charged toward the other party.
The black-robed man revealed a mocking smile. Just as he was about to make a move, his body suddenly trembled and his eyes disappeared. At this moment, Wang Lin arrived next to him. Wang Lin grabbed the black-robed man's abdomen and pulled out the golden core. Without any hesitation, Wang Lin swallowed the golden core.
He didn't even have time to pick up the bag of holding as he quickly flew off into the distance. His divine sense was spread out like a hungry wolf looking for its next target.
Sun Fan was running for his life. Behind him were two strange beasts at the late stage of Core Formation. If he slowed down a bit, they would catch up to him.
With his mere foundation building cultivation, he didn't even have the ability to resist.
At this moment, the two strange beasts were getting closer and closer. Their roars were right next to his ears. Sun Fan bitterly smiled. He knew that he wouldn't be able to escape this time.
However, at this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew past him. This gust of wind was extremely powerful, causing Sun Fan's body to involuntarily spin a few times on the spot. When he steadied himself with a shocked expression, he heard the miserable cries of strange beasts.
He turned around and was instantly stunned on the spot.
He saw a white-haired young man like a demon. His right hand reached into the head of one of the strange beasts, grabbed its core, and swallowed it whole. As for the other strange beast, it was already dead and its body was on the side.
The white-haired young man turned around and coldly looked at Sun Fan. He didn't say anything and quickly flew off into the distance.
Even though the man had already left, Sun Fan didn't dare to move. The killing intent in the man's gaze had caused his mind to tremble. After a long time, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and a look of terror appeared on his face as he hurriedly left.
Throughout his life, the white-haired young man's demon-like figure had always been in Sun Fan's heart. Even 700 years later, when he reached the Nascent Soul stage, he would still feel a chill in his heart whenever he thought of the white-haired young man. He would often wake up from his dreams.
In the northern part of the Devil Cultivation Basin, two small sects were fighting each other for the core of a strange beast that had been killed by divine retribution. Flying swords and spells filled the sky.
However, just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, a white-haired young man descended from the sky. The moment he appeared, he didn't say a word. His eyes released a demonic red glow and a ray of red lightning shot out from his eyes. It was like a lightning snake as it passed through the cultivators of the two sects.
At the same time, he charged into the cultivators of the two sects. Along the way, his hand grabbed the cores of Core Formation cultivators and swallowed them whole.
In less than 10 breaths of time, all of the cultivators here had died.
As for the core of the strange beast that caused the two sects to fight, it was swallowed by the white-haired young man. Then he turned into a blur and charged off into the distance.
Along the way, whether it was a strange beast or a cultivator, as long as they hadn't reached the Nascent Soul stage, they would be mercilessly killed by Wang Lin, regardless of whether they were male or female!
As he devoured more and more golden cores, his cultivation no longer decreased. The speed at which the golden core shrank finally reached a stable point. However, this was not enough to solve the problem. This stable balance could only last for a few hours. Once the time was up, the golden core would continue to shrink until it collapsed.
The only way to solve this problem was to keep killing people for cores. Once he obtained enough spiritual energy, he would be able to force the red line out of his body.
Just like that, he would have to kill a lot of people. Wang Lin's eyes were filled with killing intent. He knew that with his current killing speed, it was far from enough.
Wang Lin's eyes became cold. He spread out his divine sense and charged forward. A few strange beasts appeared 50 kilometers away from him. The moment Wang Lin's Ji Realm left his body, he slapped his bag of holding and the black poison sword appeared.
After killing the strange beasts and taking their cores, Wang Lin didn't stop and continued to charge forward. At the same time, he spread out his divine sense to search for places where there were many cultivators or strange beasts.
As he was flying, Wang Lin's body suddenly stopped. His divine sense detected a large group of strange beasts 500 kilometers to the east. Wang Lin's eyes became cold. He immediately changed direction and headed east.
He quickly crossed the distance of 500 kilometers. There were many strange beasts here. After Wang Lin appeared, he didn't say anything and pointed at his forehead. The second devil appeared and charged into the group of strange beasts.
Shortly after, the black poison sword also moved, followed by Wang Lin's Ji Realm. These attacks were like a sharp sword that killed everyone in the herd of beasts.
But just at this moment, a roar came from the group of strange beasts. A giant octopus slowly rose up from the ground. Its black eyes revealed a cold light as it stared at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin looked at it. This beast's cultivation was comparable to the mid stage of Nascent Soul. He turned around and left without another word. He had seen this scene many times along the way. Whenever there was a group of strange beasts like this, there was bound to be a high quality spirit beast comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Wang Lin's figure flashed and he quickly escaped. The high quality spirit beast let out an angry roar and immediately chased after Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn't even look back as he quickly ran away. After the spirit beast chased for a while, it hesitated and roared a few times. Then it slowly stopped and returned to the group of strange beasts. Its giant tentacles grabbed a few strange beasts and threw them into its mouth. Then it lay down on the ground and didn't move.
Soon, Wang Lin locked onto seven cultivators 2,000 kilometers away. Among these cultivators, there were three Core Formation cultivators.
At this moment, the seven of them were surrounding a strange beast and attacking it with evil smiles.
However, their smiles immediately froze. All they saw was a black shadow flash in front of them and all seven of them died. Three of the Core Formation cultivators had glistening black holes in their stomachs. As for the strange beast, there was also a bloody hole in its head.
But just at this moment, a low grunt came from the distance.
"The Poison Devil Palace has ordered that all killing is forbidden within its territory. You, stay here!"
Wang Lin didn't hesitate at all. The moment the old man spoke, Wang Lin quickly retreated.
The person who spoke let out a cold laugh. His body suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Wang Lin. At the same time, he waved his right hand and a powerful force pushed forward.
Wang Lin's body immediately floated backward. His eyes flashed as he stared forward. This person was a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe. His face was cold and in a few steps, he arrived next to the seven corpses.
The person lowered his head and frowned. He stared at Wang Lin and said, "What a cruel method. Others kill people for their treasures, but you kill people for their cores!"
Wang Lin's eyes flashed. This person was a Nascent Soul cultivator. This could be seen from the aura he emitted and the teleportation just now. However, this person's cultivation level was definitely not mid stage Nascent Soul. After some analysis, Wang Lin guessed that this person was most likely early stage Nascent Soul.
This person didn't come with good intentions. Wang Lin's eyes flashed coldly. He slapped his bag of holding and the black poison sword flew out. There was a buzzing sound above his head and it emitted waves of cold light.
The middle-aged man revealed a look of mockery. His right hand suddenly moved and turned into a ghostly claw covered in fog. It appeared in front of Wang Lin and reached down.
Wang Lin waved his right hand and the restriction flag flew out. It immediately grew in size and covered everything within 100 kilometers. Restrictions appeared all around the flag and the ghostly claw was surrounded by dozens of restrictions. There was a series of sizzling sounds before the ghostly claw disappeared.
The middle aged man stared at the restriction flag and let out a sneer. He waved his hand and a purple sword flew out of his sleeve. The sword pierced through the air and shot toward Wang Lin like lightning.
Wang Lin's body didn't move. His hand formed a seal and he shouted:
"Break!"
The restriction flag suddenly moved and the restrictions on the flag flew out one by one, forming a black armor of restriction before Wang Lin. When the flying sword landed on the armor, countless restriction symbols began to crawl over it. In an instant, the entire flying sword was covered in countless restriction symbols.
The middle-aged man frowned. He didn't think that a mere mid stage Core Formation Cultivator would have such a strange magical treasure. He slapped his bag of holding and a tiger-shaped copper seal flew out. As he muttered to himself, the copper seal let out a series of rumbling sounds. Then, it began to grow in size until it was seven or eight meters tall. In the blink of an eye, the copper seal split in half and a black tiger came roaring out from within.
After the tiger appeared, it immediately pounced at Wang Lin. Wang Lin took two steps back and his hand seal changed as he shouted, "Trap!"
The moment he finished speaking, the restriction flag waved again. This time, the restriction symbols connected together to form chains that appeared from all directions and formed a cage in front of Wang Lin. The black tiger let out a miserable groan as it was bounced back.
At the same time, another wall made of metal chains appeared behind the tiger. Following that, the two walls suddenly moved and connected with each other, forming a circle that surrounded the black tiger.
All of this had happened in practically an instant. In other words, the moment the black tiger pounced over, the tiger was trapped within the chains formed by the symbols of the restriction.
The tiger continued to roar inside the chains, but it was useless.
The middle-aged man's expression changed for the first time. He put away his disdainful expression and stared at Wang Lin with a serious expression. He asked, "Whose disciple are you?"
To him, the person who owned such a treasure must have a very powerful background. Or else there was no way a completion levelled cultivator of the intermediate stage could own such a treasure.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a trace of greed.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. The power of the restriction flag was worth the divine retribution. This was only a restriction flag with multiple attributes. If it was a single attribute, its power would be several times stronger.
He coldly stared at the middle-aged man. This wasn't the right time. When he was controlling the restriction flag, the spiritual energy in his body was a bit unstable. The size of his golden core had shrunk again. If this continued, his golden core would shatter soon.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. He coldly said, "My master is Gu Lan!"
The middle aged man was startled. He carefully looked at Wang Lin and sneered in his heart. He didn't believe that Wang Lin was the disciple of the old devil Ancient Emperor. It has to be said that the old devil Ancient Emperor disappeared from the Chaotic Broken Stars 200 years ago.
Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly widened. He stared at the item in Wang Lin's hand. In Wang Lin's hand, there was an extra bag of holding. On the bag, there was an ancient word "Lan" embroidered.
Wang Lin waved his hand and the bag of holding disappeared.
He looked at the middle-aged man. From his expression, he could tell that this person recognized the bag of holding. At the very least, this person had heard of it.
Wang Lin slowly retreated. He changed his hand seals and quickly retreated with the restriction flag. After retreating 100 meters, he formed a restriction with his right hand and released the black tiger trapped inside the restriction flag.
At this moment, Wang Lin sped up and disappeared into the distance.
The middle aged man's face was gloomy as he stared at the direction Wang Lin disappeared to. He wanted to chase after Wang Lin several times, but in the end, he stopped himself. Ignoring the bag of holding, just that flag was enough to make him dread Wang Lin, and from the looks of it, Wang Lin hadn't used his full power. Although he was confident that with his early stage Nascent Soul cultivation, it shouldn't be hard for him to kill a Core Formation cultivator, the treasure in Wang Lin's hand was simply too strange.
This made him slow down his pursuit. Moreover, he recognized the bag of holding. It was embroidered with the word "Lan". If he remembered correctly, it belonged to Ancient Emperor.
This kind of thing couldn't be known by normal people. He only saw it when Ancient Emperor came to the Demon Palace many years ago.
Therefore, although Ancient Emperor disappeared 200 years ago, he was still famous and had many disciples. This made the middle-aged man give up on the idea of chasing after him.
After Wang Lin flew far away, he quickly put away the restriction flag. Just this quick battle had consumed a lot of spiritual energy in his body and caused his Jindan to shrink. According to his calculations, he had to quickly increase his spiritual energy. Otherwise, only death awaited him.
Wang Lin took out the spiritual liquid that he had accumulated in Qi Lin City. There were less than 100 drops in it. After drinking 10 drops, he barely stopped his Jindan from shrinking. After a moment of silence, Wang Lin sighed. He knew that if this continued, there would be no end. There was only one solution!
Wang Lin gritted his teeth and activated the soul core of the Soul Devourer in his sea of knowledge. His consciousness suddenly shrank and concentrated on the soul core.
Splitting his consciousness was something that Wang Lin had used once in the foreign battlefield to leave the Nirvana World. At that time, he had spent several years to split his consciousness into thousands of individual parts. From there, these parts burrowed out of the tiny cracks in space and finally reached the goal of leaving the Nirvana World.
At that time, a small part of his consciousness hadn't been retrieved. Until now, its whereabouts were still unknown.
Since then, Wang Lin had a deep fear of splitting his consciousness. He knew that if he lost too much after splitting his consciousness, he would likely be much weaker after the final fusion. He might not even be able to form a complete consciousness again.
But now, if he used the normal method of killing the Soul Devourer and snatching the Jindan, he wouldn't be able to satisfy the absorption of the Heavenly Tribulation threads in his body. Therefore, Wang Lin could only take a risk and split his consciousness again!
Luckily, he had already formed a soul core this time. As such, the danger of splitting his consciousness was greatly reduced. After all, the first time he split his consciousness, it didn't have any offensive power. It was just a chaotic consciousness.
But now, because of the appearance of the Soul Devourer's soul core, the consciousness that he split was, in a sense, the wandering souls of the Nirvana World!
The only difference was that its form was slightly different.
His consciousness, which was more than 10 times stronger than that of a normal Core Formation cultivator, gathered on the soul core. Instantly, it turned from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand.
Strands of consciousness came out of Wang Lin's body like crazy. One could see that these strands of consciousness had the form of red lightning bolts. This had a lot to do with the Ji Realm. In fact, these strands of consciousness were strands of Ji Realm consciousness.
Thousands of strands of Ji Realm consciousness came out of Wang Lin's body in the form of red lightning bolts. They spread in all directions and disappeared without a trace.
As for Wang Lin's original consciousness, it was left inside his body. Right now, Wang Lin's consciousness was extremely weak. Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding with his right hand and the black poisonous sword flew out. After digging a big hole in the ground, Wang Lin sat down in a lotus position. He put away the flying sword and took out the restriction flag. He took a deep breath and took it out.
The black flag of the restriction flag began to move without any wind. Its size began to swell until it was more than 100 feet tall. With a shake of the flag, it completely surrounded the area within 100 miles.
At the same time, one after another forbidding formation appeared from the flag and landed in the surroundings. Following this, nine grayish-white giant forbidding symbols appeared from the flag and floated in the surroundings motionlessly.
After taking out the restriction flag, Wang Lin took a deep breath and calmed himself down to digest the golden core inside his body.
As for his soul fragments, as long as they met a cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage, they would kill them and take their golden core.
Time slowly passed. Every time a soul fragment obtained a golden core, it would fly back to where Wang Lin was. After leaving the golden core behind, it would go out again.
As a result, the already chaotic Sea of Devils became even more chaotic due to the frequent killings. More and more people joined in. Even some of the medium-sized sects became restless.
Two days later, Wang Lin was sitting in the lotus position inside the restriction flag. His face was extremely pale. The golden core inside his body had shrunk to the size of a fingernail and his cultivation level had dropped to the early stage of Core Formation.
The golden cores he obtained in these past few days were all gathered in another location inside his body. He was going to give the divine retribution a fatal blow at a critical moment.
Wang Lin's voice was hoarse. His hand formed a seal and he shouted, "Soul fragments, withdraw!"
Suddenly, no matter where his soul fragments were scattered, their bodies trembled and they quickly returned. Inside the Sea of Devils, one could only see red lightning flashing across the sky. All of these lightning bolts were heading towards the same location.
As the red lightning entered the restriction flag and entered Wang Lin's body, the spiritual energy inside his body became larger and larger. Finally, when all of his soul fragments returned, Wang Lin's eyes became cold. He controlled the spiritual energy inside his body and charged at the divine retribution.
Three days later, within 50 kilometers of where Wang Lin was, the restriction flag suddenly shrank into a small flag and landed in the hand of a white haired figure.
Wang Lin waved his right hand and put the restriction flag into his bag of holding.
His face was no longer pale and revealed a hint of blood. In these three days of time, he wasn't able to force the divine retribution out of his body. Instead, he used his spiritual energy to wrap around the divine retribution and temporarily solve the crisis of his golden core.
At the same time, he used the spiritual energy he obtained to strengthen his golden core. Not only did his cultivation level not decrease, but it actually increased. He was now at the peak of the late stage of Core Formation, the pseudo Nascent Soul stage.
If he wanted to completely get rid of the divine retribution, according to Wang Lin's analysis, there was only one way, and that was to reach the Nascent Soul stage. That way, he could use the jade Hunchback Meng left in his bag of holding called the Poison Transfer Technique to transfer the divine retribution into someone else's body and completely solve this problem.
Wang Lin pondered a bit and revealed a decisive look. He closed his eyes and sensed the existence of the devil Xu Liguo. Because the distance was too far, he could only feel the devil's general location. Soon, he opened his eyes and quickly flew west.
This time, in order to increase his speed, Wang Lin used the earth escape technique that he hadn't used in a long time. As a result, his speed increased greatly. The only weakness of the earth escape technique was that it consumed a lot of spiritual energy. This was why Wang Lin didn't want to use this technique before solving the problem with his body.
His speed was very fast, and his divine sense was constantly sensing Xu Liguo's position. Finally, on the seventh day, he arrived at the ruins of the Qilin City, three thousand miles away. This place was the mountain peak that he had agreed to meet on that day.
He could feel that the devil Xu Liguo was here.
This was indeed the case. The moment Wang Lin arrived at the top of the mountain, Xu Liguo came out from the pavilion and entered between his eyebrows.
At the same time, Qiu Siping's figure appeared inside the pavilion. He was in a sorry state and his breathing was unstable.
Wang Lin entered the pavilion, sat down on the stone chair, and observed Qiu Siping.
Qiu Siping wryly smiled and said, "Fellow cultivator, I have waited here for you for more than half a month. If it wasn't for the fact that I believe you are not the kind of person to break your promise, I would have left a long time ago."
Wang Lin revealed an apologetic expression and said, "There has been a change in the Sea of Devils, causing many cultivators to kill each other. The various sects are also participating in the fight to divide up the cities. As a result, my journey has been delayed and I have made fellow cultivator wait for a long time."
Qiu Siping let out a sigh and wryly smiled. "Forget it. I have already killed a lot of people with bad intentions and have gained a lot. Fellow cultivator, how about we go to that place now?"
Wang Lin stood up and nodded. "That's good. Fellow cultivator, please lead the way."
Qiu Siping's eyes lit up and he smiled. "Fellow cultivator, since we have reached an agreement, we can be considered allies. Can you tell me your name?"
Wang Lin looked at this person and said, "Wang Lin!"
Qiu Siping clasped his hands and said, "Brother Wang, that place is very far from here. If you don't mind, you can take my cloud boat!"
As he spoke, he slapped his bag of holding with his right hand, causing a huge white boat to appear in mid-air.
This boat was about 10 feet long and there were all kinds of spirit beast carvings on it. There was also a statue of a bird on the bow. This statue was very lifelike and looked very lifelike.
Qiu Siping's body moved and he gently landed on the boat. He turned around and looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin scanned the boat with his divine sense. When he didn't find anything strange, he stepped onto the boat.
Qiu Siping crossed his hands and cast a Spiritual Art, imprinting it into the bird statue at the bow of the ship. Immediately, the ship trembled and quickly moved forward.
This boat was a bit slower than a flying sword, but it didn't need to be powered by spiritual energy, so it was quite easy. Wang Lin stood on the boat and saw a thin barrier of light around the boat, blocking the black rain that had been falling for half a month.
Occasionally, muffled thunder would come from the sky mixed with the rain, giving off the feeling of "ten thousand strands of thunder falling in a single night."
Qiu Siping slowly asked, "Brother Wang, what do you think of this boat?"
Wang Lin nodded and praised, "Very good!"
"This boat was crafted by me. Brother Wang, aside from my slight research into restrictions, my favorite hobby is crafting tools. It took me several years to gather enough materials to craft this boat." Qiu Siping laughed and said with some emotion.
Just at this moment, thunder roared in the sky and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. Although it was very far from the Devil Cultivation Basin, it was still possible to feel the power of the heavens.
This kind of lightning was several times stronger than the lightning created by a cultivator's technique. It was not something that could be created by a cultivator's technique.
Qiu Siping raised his head to look at the dark clouds above the Devil Cultivation Basin and muttered to himself, "I was born in the Sea of Devils and have cultivated for more than 200 years. However, this is the first time I've seen the real sky in half a month."
Just as Wang Lin was about to speak, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared at the sky in the distance. He saw a series of rumbles coming from that direction and a giant turtle slowly appeared in the sky.
An old man stood on top of the turtle. He pointed at the sky and cursed nonstop. Even though he was very far away, his curses could still be heard without missing a single word.
"I'm going to f * ck you damned Heavenly Tribulation. I haven't finished yet. Now I'm going to tell you your 37,863 crimes …"
105 Cui Geng Divine Weapon. Very ruthless, but it won't crush me. I'll eat it!
In addition, during this period of time, any flowers, gifts, votes, recommendations, monthly votes, I'll thank you very much!
