But it was too late!
The moment Wang Lin took out the nascent soul puppet, he had already made a decision. He knew that he was in a life or death situation. His opponent was clearly not at the early stage of the Soul Formation stage, but at the peak of the mid stage of the Soul Formation stage. This kind of person's technique naturally contained a domain. Once he was hit by the attack, he would be in danger!
Also, the difference in their cultivation levels was too big. Even if he ran away, he wouldn't be able to outrun his opponent.
Wang Lin's eyes flashed with decisiveness. This battle couldn't be dragged on for too long. Otherwise, it would attract the attention of even more Xue Yu cultivators. At that point, it would be impossible for him to escape.
Finish the battle quickly!
While his opponent wasn't paying attention to him, finish the battle quickly!
Wang Lin didn't hesitate at all. After he threw out the nascent soul puppet, he took a deep breath and raised his right hand. On his right hand, a thread slowly appeared.
Divine retribution thread!
Actually, other than that, he could hide inside the heaven defying bead's space. However, unless it was absolutely necessary, Wang Lin would rather use the divine retribution thread than the heaven defying bead in front of the old woman.
The heaven defying bead was his biggest secret, it couldn't be exposed!
Of course, without the divine retribution thread, Wang Lin's first choice would be to enter the heaven defying bead!
Taking advantage of the moment when the old woman was stunned by the Ji Realm attack, Wang Lin used the divine retribution thread for the first time!
The divine retribution thread was Wang Lin's final trump card. It had helped Wang Lin avoid danger time and time again. Today, in order to survive, Wang Lin used it without hesitation.
It wasn't that he didn't consider using it as a threat, but there were too many cultivators in the Xue Yu. He could threaten an old woman, but if she left and notified other cultivators, then Wang Lin's fate would be very dangerous.
Instead, it would be better to cut the Gordian knot and use the Heavenly Tribulation to destroy this person. That would be the best method.
Although his heart ached a bit, Wang Lin wasn't a wishy-washy person. Once he made up his mind, he wouldn't hesitate. The thread flickered as it shot up into the sky, causing layers of red clouds to appear.
The appearance of these clouds was too strange. In the blink of an eye, a large amount of red clouds descended, forming a dense mass. As for the dark blue aura, it was clearly insignificant compared to the red clouds. The moment the red clouds descended, the dark blue aura automatically moved out of the way, not daring to block them.
This was exactly what the old woman saw after she recovered her senses and broke the fluctuations of the Nascent Soul puppet's self-destruction.
She did not recognize what it was, but an intense panic rose in her heart the moment she saw the red clouds. Hence, she did not hesitate and immediately entered the Ice Pagoda.
At this moment, Red Butterfly, who was at the center of the Four Sect Alliance, stared at the red clouds tens of thousands of kilometers away. Her eyes revealed a strange light.
Standing behind her was the sickly middle-aged man from Rosefinch. His entire temperament suddenly changed. His sickly appearance disappeared and his eyes revealed a look of shock as he stared at the red clouds.
Without a word, his body flashed and he gave up on protecting Red Butterfly. He left her where she was and charged toward the red clouds at an extremely fast speed.
Wang Lin's face was pale and his right hand was trembling. After the old woman entered the Ice Pagoda, she was already very far away. His eyes lit up and he focused all of his attention on controlling the thread of God's retribution. He fiercely waved his right hand and pointed at the escaping Ice Pagoda.
Suddenly, a red thread of lightning appeared in the red clouds. The speed of this thread of lightning was indescribable. The moment it appeared, it landed on the Ice Pagoda in the distance. At the same time, the red clouds seemed to be attracted by this thread of lightning and countless threads of lightning appeared. They intertwined with each other and formed a purple-red bolt of lightning that was as thick as an arm. With a thunderous rumble, it descended from the sky!
The old woman was inside the Ice Pagoda. Just as she was about to dodge, she found out that the space around her was sealed by a destructive force. She could not move at all.
An expression of despair appeared on her face. She never would have thought that chasing a mere late stage Nascent Soul junior would cause God's retribution to appear!
Yes, now, no matter how stupid she was, she had already guessed that this was the legendary God's retribution!
The purple-red God's retribution landed on the Ice Pagoda. There was nothing stopping it. The Ice Pagoda and the old woman inside disappeared from the world as if they were never there.
Wang Lin took a deep breath. Seeing God's retribution again made him very emotional. However, he knew that this was not the time to be enlightened. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran.
However, he had only run a few hundred feet when he felt a terrifyingly powerful Divine Sense sweep past his body. At that moment, the straw hat on his head suddenly emitted a dense, golden light. The Divine Sense paused for a moment and then immediately retreated.
Suddenly, a warm current came from the straw hat. This warm current entered his body and an image appeared in his mind. The middle aged scholar who destroyed the green dragon was rushing toward him at an extremely fast speed.
Wang Lin's heart was filled with fear. He didn't have time to think about the magic of the straw hat. Without a word, he quickly pointed at his brow and disappeared into the heaven defying bead's space.
After the purple-red God's retribution easily destroyed the old woman's Ice Pagoda, it gradually disappeared. The red clouds in the sky also slowly dimmed. However, at this moment, the middle aged scholar from the Country of Rosefinch suddenly appeared in the sky. His eyes were filled with excitement as he stared at the dissipating God's retribution. He let out a roar and quickly raised both of his hands. His entire body emitted an unimaginably powerful aura.
Suddenly, the originally dimming red clouds began to move again as if they wanted to reform. Unfortunately, without the God's retribution, the red clouds could no longer reform.
The middle aged man in the sky was even more anxious than the red clouds. He knew too well that this God's retribution was extremely rare. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know if he would ever encounter something as good as this again in his life!
However, the red clouds couldn't reform and could only watch as they slowly dissipated. It felt like there was a mountain of gold and silver in front of him, but when he tried to grab it, he found that there was an impassable gully in front of him. He could only watch as the mountain of gold and silver disappeared bit by bit.
In his anxiety, the middle-aged man clenched his teeth, bit his index finger, and began to draw in the air. One by one, blood-colored symbols appeared before him. Every time one appeared, it would fly into the air and land in the red cloud.
Gradually, more and more blood symbols sank into the red clouds. The dissipation of the red clouds finally slowed down. The middle aged scholar let out a sigh of relief, but his expression immediately became ugly.
He saw that the red clouds were extremely dim, as if they could dissipate at any moment. He had just used a spell to stabilize the red clouds a bit, but the surrounding dark blue aura quickly spread out. The moment the dark blue aura rushed in, the red clouds began to dissipate even faster.
Seeing that the red cloud had almost dissipated in the blink of an eye, the middle-aged scholar let out an angry roar. He clenched his teeth and charged into the remaining red cloud.
The moment his body entered the red cloud, strands of purplish-red lightning immediately entered his body. His face revealed an expression of pain and comfort. However, this feeling didn't last long. The remaining red cloud … dissipated … The middle-aged man stared at the sky with a gloomy expression. He had scanned the area with his divine sense before, but aside from the ice tower, he didn't find any other cultivators. There was only a ball of golden light that caused his divine sense to ache. He couldn't help but retreat, and when he looked again, the golden light had strangely disappeared.
He pondered for a bit before clasping his hands and loudly saying, "Fellow cultivator who caused the divine retribution, I'm Ou Zhi from the country of Rosefinch. I hope fellow cultivator can help attract another divine retribution. I'll be very grateful!"
He waited for a long time, but seeing no reaction, the middle-aged man sighed inwardly. Then, he made a grasping motion, and a miserable groan could be heard off in the distance. A thick arm flew toward him, covered in blue blood. He grabbed it, then let out a soft snort, and the arm was instantly reduced to dust!
The human-headed snake beast only had one arm left. Standing on its head was the woman in white, Red Butterfly. Her eyes were calm, but there was a hint of anger hidden within.
The middle aged man let out a cold snort and slowly said, "If it wasn't for this beast ruining my plans, I would have been able to complete my cultivation today. Taking one of its arms is already me being magnanimous. Red Butterfly, you know what you're doing!"
Red Butterfly didn't speak. The seven people behind her were also angry, but they didn't dare to speak.
The middle aged man's body moved. When he reappeared, he was standing behind Red Butterfly. He once again returned to his sickly appearance.
Most of the cultivators of the Four Sect Alliance died in the following year. Only a small portion of them hid in the new country of Xue Yue.
Time slowly passed. Red Butterfly lived in the new country of Xue Yue for a year before following the middle aged man to the country of Rosefinch.
As for the Rain Cauldron, the cultivators of Xue Yue searched a large area, but in the end, they couldn't find it. They speculated that it was in the hands of the cultivators of the Four Sect Alliance.
After the cultivators of Xue Yue took over the former country of the Four Sect Alliance, a large amount of mortals began to move. The wind and snow continued to blow, causing the new country of Xue Yue to be shrouded in cold.
Ice towers that were unique to the cultivators of Xue Yue rose from the ground one by one. Three years later, this land became the new country of Xue Yue.
Time quickly passed. Five years later, on an ice field 30,000 kilometers away from the border of Xue Yue, a seven-colored light flashed and an illusory figure gradually appeared … Thank you everyone, next week is the last week of the month. I need to adjust my condition and prepare to explode!
