Sun Lei's plan was very good. He had waited for so long before using the power of the fan. His goal was to use Wang Lin as bait to chase after Wang Lin after the threads recovered, allowing him to escape.
Otherwise, even if he got the treasure, it would be very difficult for him to escape from the threads' pursuit. After all, if he took the treasure, the threads would go crazy, and the intensity of their pursuit would be far greater than the previous two times.
He had already made up his mind. After getting the treasure, he would throw the skeleton onto Wang Lin's body. That way, the threads wouldn't chase him too far.
Wang Lin's eyes flickered. He had been on guard against this person, so how could he let him do as he pleased? Although the black ice was indeed strange, he had long since grabbed the old man's wooden carving.
As the black ice sealed the area, the Passing Time Domain of the wooden carving was unleashed.
The flow of time was the flow of time, and the reversal of time was also the flow of time. Within the Passing Time Domain, the flow of time was controlled by the heart.
This was the power of the Passing Time Domain.
Wang Lin had cultivated in the Heaven Defying Bead for many years, so he had a deep understanding of the reversal of time. This was one of the main reasons why he could imitate the Passing Time Domain.
A strange light was emitted from the wooden carving and merged with the black ice. Although the power of the black ice was strong, Wang Lin didn't try to resist it. Instead, he used the Passing Time Domain to loosen it a bit. Although it was a bit difficult, it wasn't too difficult.
Using the Passing Time Domain, Wang Lin's body wasn't completely sealed like Sun Lei had imagined. Instead, as Sun Lei laughed and spoke arrogantly, Wang Lin walked out from within the ice.
Furthermore, with a speed that was even faster than Sun Lei's, he charged forward in a flash, passing through the frozen threads and appearing outside the cave.
"Fellow Cultivator Sun, you still haven't given me the Spirit Cleansing Wood. Why are you in such a rush to enter?"
Sun Lei was startled, and his expression turned unsightly. He was a decisive person, so he slapped his bag of holding and tossed out the Spirit Cleansing Wood.
Wang Lin took it and entered the cave.
Sun Lei cursed in his heart. However, he also knew that time was of the essence. Now that half of the time had passed, he had to make the best use of his time. Thus, he quickly rushed forward.
When he entered the cave, the first thing he saw was Wang Lin picking up the golden metal piece from the corpse's chest. Without saying a word, he grabbed the immortal sword in the corpse's hand.
However, as soon as his hand touched the Celestial Sword, he let out a miserable groan and countless spots of blood appeared on his right hand.
Wang Lin didn't even look at it. He turned around and rushed out of the cave. The restriction flag in his hand turned into a black fog. Dragons of restriction qi rushed out from it and wrapped around Wang Lin's body. Then, they suddenly rushed up.
Sun Lei's eyes were bloodshot as he let out an unwilling roar. His hand reached out once more. This time, he endured the pain and grabbed the immortal sword. However, at this moment, he let out a miserable scream. His right hand was pierced by the golden light, leaving a bloody wound. Even his chest was pierced by the golden light. The silver armor he wore immediately melted.
Sun Lei immediately stopped and gave up on the immortal sword. He let out an angry roar as he rushed out of the cave. He calculated in his heart that eight breaths of time had passed. If he left now, he still had a chance. If he didn't leave now, he would be in danger.
However, nothing in this world could be said to be 90% certain. At this moment, the black line suddenly moved. It charged out from the black ice and let out a sharp roar as it charged toward Sun Lei.
Sun Lei was shocked and revealed an expression of disbelief. His sect's treasure said it would last for ten breaths of time, so it was definitely ten breaths of time. How could it let up after eight breaths of time?
What he didn't know was that because it had absorbed Snowball, the black line already possessed some of the power of the heavens and earth. Ten breaths of time had reduced the black line's power by one.
Wang Lin's Time Domain caused the black ice to slow down a bit. As a result, the black line was reduced by one breath.
Sun Lei was shocked, but it was already too late to dodge. As the black line was about to reach him, the shadow of death shrouded his body. When he saw Wang Lin quickly leaving, a strong sense of unwillingness filled his heart.
His eyes revealed a hint of madness. Without a word, he hit his forehead and a black bead appeared on his forehead. He revealed an expression of heartache that he had never felt before.
This black bead was the result of his hundreds of years of cultivation. It was formed after he successfully reached Soul Formation. According to his sect's cultivation method, this bead was an important item for him to form his second origin soul in the future. Without this bead, his cultivation level would immediately drop from the mid stage of Soul Formation to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Explode!" Sun Lei closed his eyes.
The black bead immediately emitted a black glow and self-destructed. "Bang!"
A black circular ripple immediately spread out. The black thread was the first to bear the brunt of the ripple. It let out a shriek and shrank into a ball, barely able to withstand the ripple.
However, the thin threads that had just recovered from the black ice dissipated one by one under the impact of the ripples without any struggle.
Even the surrounding cave walls seemed to have collapsed and disappeared into thin air.
The power of the bead's self-destruction had reached the critical point of this fragment of the Celestial Realm. Suddenly, the sky and earth of this fragment collapsed.
Countless spatial cracks appeared in the sky. More and more of them appeared, and they grew larger and larger.
The lava on the ground seemed to be exploding. Popping sounds could be heard as it shot into the sky. The entire world was shaking violently, and rays of death light were being emitted from it.
Shortly after, large amounts of the sky and earth began to dissipate as if they were being devoured.
The moment Sun Lei self-destructed, he disappeared. No one knew where he went.
As for Wang Lin, he immediately felt a destructive force coming from below him. At the same time, the force restricting his teleportation collapsed.
His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately tried to teleport away. However, he immediately stopped himself, as he could clearly feel the ground around him trembling and rumbling.
"The fragment of the Celestial Realm is collapsing?"
Wang Lin immediately guessed the reason. He was glad that he didn't teleport away. Otherwise, he might have teleported into the terrifying spatial cracks.
Wang Lin cursed in his heart as he activated the restriction flag and flew forward like lightning. Without the restriction of the mysterious force, Wang Lin's speed returned to normal.
However, the speed at which the ground was collapsing was even faster. In the blink of an eye, Wang Lin's Divine Sense immediately sensed that the area within a hundred zhang had turned into a black void.
The void was like a giant mouth that kept devouring.
His heart skipped a beat.
The collapse continued for a hundred zhang, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached a distance of fifty zhang.
Wang Lin sucked in a breath of cold air as he charged up and quickly escaped.
The devouring continued. 500 feet, 300 feet, 200 feet, 100 feet … Wang Lin's face was pale. He was still a distance away from the ground, and the devouring was very fast. It was obvious that he wouldn't be able to escape before the devouring arrived.
His eyes flickered with a vicious look as he slapped his bag of holding. A crystal the size of a grain of rice appeared in his hand. It was formed by the Immortal Realm Qi.
The devouring force closed in. 100 feet, 50 feet, 30 feet … Wang Lin saw that 30 feet away, there seemed to be a giant mouth that had already opened.
He swallowed the Immortal Qi crystal in his hand. For the first time, his Primordial Spirit felt pain. It was the feeling of his Primordial Spirit being swollen by the surging Immortal Qi.
It was the pain of his Primordial Spirit burning.
At that moment, Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit felt like it was on the verge of collapse. His body was filled with intense pain, and at the same time, a powerful force that seemed capable of supporting the heavens and earth was being born.
The surrounding darkness continued to close in. Three zhang, six zhang, three zhang …. Wang Lin's body suddenly shot upward like a meteor. The moment the darkness closed in, Wang Lin shot out. His speed was much faster than before as he shot out of the ground.
The moment he shot out of the ground, the ground of the fragment of the Immortal Realm seemed to have collapsed. Most of it had been reduced to darkness.
Below his feet, it was pitch black.
Only a few places had stone awls that looked like pillars that supported the heavens and the earth.
Some of them were shrinking and eventually disappeared.
The sky was filled with cracks.
However, Wang Lin could no longer feel any of this. His consciousness was in a state of madness. He was like a meteor, or more accurately, faster than a meteor. After he shot out of the ground, he shot up into the sky.
More and more cracks appeared in the sky, but most of them were connected to each other, forming the same black void as the ground.
Wang Lin flew up like a phoenix struggling in flames. He continued to rise higher and higher, but just at that moment, a huge crack appeared in front of him and connected to each other, forming a void.
Wang Lin charged in. His surroundings were shrouded in darkness, and a powerful cold aura rushed toward him. Under the stimulation of the cold aura, Wang Lin's mind became clear.
Without a word, he controlled his body to retreat. After struggling for a while, he charged out of a crack that hadn't closed yet.
Using this bit of clarity, he quickly dodged the cracks. Finally, when the fragment of the Immortal Realm completely collapsed, he charged out and disappeared into the sky.
He flew higher and higher until he saw a huge vortex in the distance. This was where he entered the fragment of the Immortal Realm.
Below the vortex, there was a platform.
On the platform, there were several people staring dumbfoundedly at this place.
His body flickered and he appeared on the platform. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. The moment he landed, he used all the power he had left to point at his brow. Immediately, wandering souls rushed out.
During his trip to the foreign battleground, Wang Lin had collected more than 10,000 wandering souls. At this moment, all of them appeared and roared around Wang Lin, forming a black tornado. The expressions of the people on the platform immediately changed, and they all backed up.
Wang Lin fell to the ground and struggled to sit down cross-legged. He took out seven or eight bottles of pills from his bag of holding and drank them all in one breath. Then he began to cultivate.
He had started writing at 11 in the afternoon until now. It had been eight hours, and he had smoked two boxes of cigarettes. Finally, he had fulfilled his promise. He really wanted to vomit blood, but more than that, he wanted to pee blood … Because when he started writing, he basically didn't want to get up. The more he endured, the more inspiration he got. He hadn't gone to the toilet for eight hours, and his bladder was starting to hurt.
