With this pause, Wang Lin felt the pressure around him lessen. Without any hesitation, he quickly retreated and escaped into the distance.
The old man's eyes revealed a strange light. He took a step forward and chased after Wang Lin.
Wang Lin let out a sigh. Although he had refined the scroll for a long time, he still didn't know how to use it. Earlier, he didn't have anything else in his bag of holding that could restrain the old man, which was why he decided to risk it all. He took out the scroll, opened it, tore it, or threw it.
However, the moment the old man saw the scroll, he paused. As a result, Wang Lin immediately changed his plan. He put away the scroll and quickly escaped while the old man paused.
"The entrance to the first floor has been sealed, so there is only one way to escape. Although it is also very dangerous, it is much better than staying here without any chance of survival!" Wang Lin mercilessly slashed at the void with the celestial sword.
Suddenly, there was a ripping sound as a spatial crack appeared where the celestial sword was. The inside of the crack was pitch black, and it looked like a giant mouth that could devour a person.
The moment the spatial rift appeared, it immediately shrank. Wang Lin's body flashed and he entered it.
The moment he entered the spatial crack, the old man chased after him. The old man let out a snort and entered the spatial crack to continue his pursuit.
The moment Wang Lin's body entered the spatial rift, a powerful gust of wind blew by. There were countless tiny, mysterious substances inside the wind that blew on Wang Lin's body. He immediately felt pain all over his body and his origin soul flickered like a candle.
Wang Lin was shocked. Although he already knew that the spatial crack was dangerous, the main danger was getting lost and not being able to find the exit.
However, there was a cold wind inside the spatial crack that could extinguish the origin soul. This shocked Wang Lin. His surroundings were completely dark and he couldn't see anything.
However, the cold wind became stronger and stronger. Wang Lin immediately slapped his bag of holding and the star compass flew out. He sat down on the star compass and flew into the distance. At the same time, he used spiritual force to disperse the cold wind.
This was why Wang Lin entered the spatial crack. Only in this void could he use the star compass. Only then would he be able to escape the wild old man's pursuit.
The hunchback old man stepped into the spatial crack. He shook his right hand and a rune appeared. It landed on the rapidly shrinking spatial crack to stop it from closing.
The old man muttered to himself, "This scroll is a bit similar to the relic in my clan's 11th floor …" The cold wind seemed to have no effect on him. When it blew on him, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but he felt very comfortable.
The old man pondered a bit and continued to chase.
Wang Lin sat on the compass and used all his strength to fly through the void. Along the way, he didn't see anything. It was as if the void here was just a black curtain.
This difference immediately made Wang Lin cautious. The sense of danger behind him hadn't disappeared. It was clear that the old man was still chasing him.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. He controlled the compass and used his fastest speed to escape.
The hunchback old man had his hands behind his back as he walked through the void. Every time he took a step, he would cross a great distance. However, he still couldn't catch up to Wang Lin.
He was quite shocked in his heart. He thought to himself that this junior had so many treasures on him, and every single one of them was extraordinary. His identity must be extremely noble among the cultivators above. When he thought of this, his desire to refine him into a talisman puppet grew even stronger.
This void was extremely strange. The more Wang Lin flew, the stronger this feeling became. After flying for so many days, he hadn't seen anything, not even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy.
This couldn't continue. Wang Lin's eyes flashed coldly. He waved his hand and the beast trap flew out. It turned into a war chariot and landed on the star compass.
Wang Lin took a deep breath. He formed a seal with his right hand and pressed it against the war chariot.
Suddenly, the beast spirit roared and appeared. Because Wang Lin was very close, the moment the beast spirit appeared, it tried to devour him.
But Wang Lin was already prepared. His right hand seal didn't change. He sent out some spiritual energy and the chains on the war chariot tightened, pulling the beast spirit back.
The spirit beast let out a crazed roar as it stared at Wang Lin with a vicious gaze.
Wang Lin raised his head and changed his hand seal. Suddenly, the sharp spikes on the war chariot began to shine with a black light.
Wang Lin turned his head and focused on controlling the star compass. He knew that it would take some time to activate the war chariot. Based on his previous experience, it would take the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
Soon, the incense stick's time had passed. The black light from the war chariot had been completely absorbed by the beast spirit. The beast spirit's body had become even larger. During this time, it had tried to devour Wang Lin several times, but it had been locked down by the chains.
Finally, when the war chariot was completely activated, Wang Lin's eyes flashed. The star compass suddenly stopped and he formed a seal with his right hand.
The hunchbacked old man's expression changed. He sensed that Wang Lin had stopped moving and immediately chased after him.
At the same time, a powerful soul energy surged out. The moment Wang Lin sensed the old man, the seal on his right hand landed on the war chariot.
Immediately, the chains on the beast spirit's body disappeared. However, the chains between it and Wang Lin were still there, flickering with a demonic light.
The beast spirit's eyes were filled with ferocity as it looked at the hunchbacked old man. It let out a roar and charged forward. It wanted to devour everything. Only by doing so could it vent its unwillingness and resentment.
The hunchbacked old man's expression immediately changed. He stopped and touched the runes on his body. Suddenly, the runes on his body came out and rose three inches from his body.
At this moment, the beast spirit arrived. The instant it pounced on the old man, it let out a roar and was stopped three inches away from the old man.
The only thing stopping it were the frantically flickering runes.
However, the God Slaying War Chariot was extremely powerful. The old man's body was pushed back 300 meters before he stopped. His eyes were bloodshot and he let out a roar. The runes on his body rose again, increasing from three inches to five inches.
The beast spirit roared as it was slowly pushed back.
The old man's eyes became even more bloodshot. Just as he was about to drive the beast spirit away, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he revealed a cold smile. He held the celestial sword in his right hand and leaped into the air, slashing at the old man.
Take advantage of his weakness to take his life!
Wang Lin was very skilled at doing this. With one slash, the sword energy fused with the darkness and poured out like crazy.
The sword energy appeared in front of the hunchbacked old man and landed on his body.
The hunchbacked old man let out a roar and the runes on his body sank a bit. The old man's bloodshot eyes looked at Wang Lin and a seven leaf plant appeared between his eyebrows.
The moment the plant appeared, the runes on the old man's body moved like crazy. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he raised his right hand and pointed at Wang Lin!
Wang Lin's body immediately felt cold. A cold energy came from his abdomen and quickly entered his origin soul. This cold energy gathered at one point like a seed that quickly sprouted.
Wang Lin's face was pale and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His body moved as he let out a roar and slashed down with the celestial sword again.
Then he immediately changed direction and slashed down again.
Rays of sword energy exploded on the old man's body. The runes on the old man's body continued to sink, and the beast spirit's charge became even more intense. It let out a roar and wanted to devour the old man who was stopping it.
Just as the beast spirit was about to devour it, the old man's eyes revealed a strange light. The bone bracelet on his right hand immediately broke and fell from his hand.
In an instant, the bracelet emitted waves of green light and a rune appeared.
The rune was broken and incomplete, and there were even many cracks on it. However, a feeling that made Wang Lin's heart jump came from the rune.
The moment the rune appeared, the surrounding black void lit up and was enveloped by a green light.
The hunchbacked old man slowly said, "This is the Old Man's enlightenment rune. It was by comprehending this rune that the Old Man reached the seven leaf stage. Junior, you are lucky enough to see this rune. Even if you die, it will be enough!"
The rune flashed, and the beast soul that wanted to devour the old man let out a roar. A green glow appeared on its body, and it turned around to stare at the rune with an expression of unwillingness.
If it was at its peak, it would have dared to fight this rune. However, now, it had no choice but to retreat. The beast spirit roared and shook its body. The green light was immediately scattered, and the beast spirit's body quickly shrank and disappeared into the void.
Wang Lin immediately noticed that the moment the rune appeared, the seed in his nascent soul that was growing branches and leaves immediately sped up and grew at a crazy speed.
Wang Lin did not hesitate. His body flashed and he returned to the compass. He sped away under the control of the compass.
The beast spirit appeared on the God Slaying War Chariot again. This time, it did not try to devour Wang Lin. Instead, it weakly disappeared into the war chariot.
The old man looked in the direction that Wang Lin disappeared in. He did not chase after him. Instead, he looked down at his chest. There were three deep wounds on his chest. These wounds were caused by Wang Lin's celestial sword.
The old man's eyes were filled with killing intent. He took a deep breath and half-knelt toward the broken green rune. The rune slowly shrank and merged with his body.
The bone bracelet silently reappeared on his wrist.
The old man stood up and turned into a meteor as he chased after Wang Lin.
On the star compass, Wang Lin's eyes were closed. There was a plant mark flickering between his eyebrows. Black lines spread from his forehead to his neck and continued to spread.
A series of roars came from Wang Lin's mouth. He suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a hint of madness. However, he immediately closed his eyes and revealed a struggling expression.
He was facing extreme pain, but even so, he still maintained a trace of consciousness. He split a part of his mind to control the compass and continue to escape.
His home was in the northeast, and during this season, his home needed heat. However, there had been a problem recently, so he had to go to the heating company every day to argue. That was why he didn't update the last two days as promised, nor did it erupt.
Tomorrow, the heating company will go and check the reason. There should be a result. Please forgive me, but don't worry, Li Gen will not ask for a day off.
