The six-leaf shaman that Wang Lin was secretly following immediately turned back into his human form and landed on the side. The moment the shaman appeared, Wang Lin hid himself.
With his cultivation level, no one here would be able to detect him. Only the eight-leaf shaman sitting cross-legged on the Reincarnation Tree was qualified to detect Wang Lin.
Wang Lin could tell at a glance that the eight-leaf shaman was seriously injured and extremely weak.
Just at this moment, the six-leaf shamans around the Reincarnation Tree all sat down cross-legged and began to chant complex incantations. At the same time, runes appeared on their bodies and floated in the air.
At this moment, the cultivators behind the sorcerer masters walked toward the Reincarnation Tree, their eyes filled with confusion. They sat down cross-legged beneath the Reincarnation Tree. There were hundreds of cultivators there.
Wang Lin could tell that these cultivators all had the same cultivation level. They were all at the Core Formation stage.
At this moment, as soon as the hundreds of cultivators sat down, the six-leaf shamans let out a roar. Their voices were loud and strange. As they roared, the runes floating in the surroundings rushed toward the Reincarnation Tree like crazy.
In the blink of an eye, the runes fused into the Reincarnation Tree and disappeared. However, the Reincarnation Tree suddenly trembled, and soft branches rapidly grew out from its trunk. They were like long snakes that danced in the air and spread out in all directions, immediately wrapping around the cultivators.
In the blink of an eye, all of the cultivators under the Reincarnation Tree were bound by the countless branches and lifted into the air.
This scene was extremely strange to Wang Lin. Countless branches extended out from the more than nine meters tall Reincarnation Tree. Each branch had a cultivator bound to it. As the branches moved, the Reincarnation Tree seemed to come to life.
"He's healing!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed.
Several runes appeared on the Reincarnation Tree. In a flash, all of the cultivators bound by the branches began to tremble. Their flesh and blood essence began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the spiritual power within the bodies of these cultivators also rushed out of their bodies uncontrollably like wild horses that had broken free of their reins. They fused with the Reincarnation Tree through the branches.
After the Reincarnation Tree absorbed the fleshly essence and Spirit Qi, it used a strange method to transform it into a strange power that could heal the injuries of the eight-leaf shaman. It rapidly flowed through the Reincarnation Tree and entered the eight-leaf shaman's body.
The wound on the man's chest slowly closed, and his aura gradually recovered.
Wang Lin's eyes flashed coldly. His body suddenly moved and turned into an illusory shadow. In a flash, he appeared on the Reincarnation Tree, next to the Eight-leaf Shaman.
He moved as fast as lightning. As soon as he appeared, he raised his right hand and struck the Eight-leaf old man.
Wang Lin's right hand flickered with a milky white light. This was the manifestation of immortal energy.
It was fine if he didn't make a move, but once he did, he would be merciless and kill his enemies in one fell swoop!
At this moment, the Eight-leaf old man opened his eyes, and a hint of shock could be seen in them.
Wang Lin's palm landed on the light, and a heaven-shaking rumble echoed across the entire fourth floor. The powerful impact created a shockwave. The six-leaf shamans under the Reincarnation Tree were blown back several hundred feet. They all coughed out blood and the runes in their bodies became unstable. They couldn't recover in a short period of time, and the slightest bit of carelessness could kill them.
One of the six-leaf shamans coughed out a mouthful of blood and screamed, "Soul Transformation cultivator!!!"
Upon hearing this, the bodies of the other six-leaf Shamans trembled, and they immediately got up and ran without another word.
If Wang Lin hadn't reached the Soul Transformation stage, he wouldn't have been able to display such shocking power without using any treasures. This palm strike was comparable to a three-star ancient god punch from his main body.
This was because this palm contained celestial energy!
The reason Soul Transformation cultivators were powerful and could enjoy glory on any cultivation planet was because of celestial energy.
The eight-leaf old man's circle of light collapsed. The old man trembled and coughed out a large mouthful of blood. The ancient rune above his head flashed and appeared next to him to block the celestial spiritual energy coming at him.
A powerful force came from the tattoo and Wang Lin's palm couldn't help but slow down a bit.
With this pause, the Eight-leaf old man let out a roar and quickly retreated like a meteor.
"You can't get away!"
There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes as he pressed his palm down on the Reincarnation Tree.
Violent celestial spiritual energy rushed out and drilled into the Reincarnation Tree. A series of crackling sounds came from the Reincarnation Tree, and then the tree suddenly collapsed, turning into pieces of broken wood.
The branches that extended from the tree trunk immediately snapped, and the bodies of hundreds of cultivators immediately fell from the sky.
The moment they landed, their eyes became clear and the confusion in their eyes disappeared.
"Leave this place!"
Wang Lin quickly said. He moved like lightning and chased after the escaping Eight-leaf old man.
At the same time, he slapped his bag of holding and the mosquito beast's large body appeared in the air. It had been with Wang Lin for many years and had developed intelligence. It didn't need Wang Lin to tell it to know what its master wanted.
After it appeared, the mosquito beast let out a roar and turned into a bolt of black lightning. It charged toward one of the escaping six-leaf shamans. Its large mouth pierced through the shaman's head. The shaman let out a miserable scream and his body quickly withered until he was nothing but skin and bones. He died.
After killing one, the mosquito beast threw away the corpse in its mouth and charged toward the next shaman without hesitation.
With its speed, no matter how fast these six-leaf shamans ran, they couldn't outrun it.
One of the surviving Core Formation cultivators saw Wang Lin and immediately recognized Wang Lin. He exclaimed, "Ancestor!!"
Before Wang Lin left, he turned around to look at the person who called him ancestor. This person was a bit unfamiliar, but he didn't ask. In a flash, he chased after the escaping Eight-leaf old man.
Although all of this takes a long time to describe, it all happened in an extremely short amount of time.
Wang Lin moved like lightning. Before him, the Eight-leaf old man's face was pale as he clenched his teeth and tried to escape.
He was originally an Eight-leaf shaman that followed the fifth ancestor. Even in the Forsaken Immortal Clan, he was an elder and had a lot of power. Countless cultivators had died to him during the Forsaken Immortal Clan's invasion.
One month ago, he was injured by a late stage Soul Transformation cultivator from the country of Rosefinch and almost died. In the end, he was sent back here to be healed by the Reincarnation Tree. However, he didn't expect that a Soul Transformation cultivator would appear while he was healing.
"As long as I can escape to the 11th floor, I will be saved. The third ancestor was seriously injured by the son of Rosefinch while protecting the Ancestral Spirit Tree and is healing there. If I can escape there, the third ancestor will definitely save me." The eight-leaf old man clenched his teeth and charged toward the entrance to the fifth floor.
Wang Lin chased closely behind him. His eyes became cold as he slapped his bag of holding and the celestial sword appeared in his hand. Holding the celestial sword, Wang Lin took a deep breath and the celestial spiritual energy in his body surged into the celestial sword.
"Accept death!"
Wang Lin softly said. He raised his right hand and the celestial sword released a blinding white light. With one swing, it was as if the heavens and earth were being split open. The entire fourth floor trembled as the celestial sword energy turned into a ray of light and charged forward.
The eight-leaf old man's expression changed greatly. He didn't even turn around to feel the powerful aura that made his scalp go numb. If he wasn't seriously injured, he would have a way to resist, but right now he was like an arrow at the end of its flight; there was no oil left in his body.
The old man let out a bitter roar as he suddenly turned around with a hint of madness in his eyes. At the moment the sword energy containing celestial spiritual energy closed in, he slapped his forehead and shouted, "Ancestral Symbol!"
The symbol that had blocked Wang Lin's celestial spiritual energy palm while he was healing suddenly appeared before him. This symbol was very complex and gave off an ancient aura.
Wang Lin's eyes were cold as he stopped 1,000 feet away. The moment he stopped, the sword energy and the symbol collided.
"Bang!"
A huge explosion occurred, creating a three-foot-tall shockwave that spread in all directions and dug a meter into the ground.
Several cracking sounds were emitted from the Ancestral Symbol before it shattered. Even the eyes of the elder behind it dimmed as his aura rapidly disappeared.
The wound on the old man's chest spurted out a large amount of blood. Although his eyes were lifeless, they were filled with viciousness as he stared at Wang Lin and shouted, "Who are you!?"
"I won't tell you who I am!"
Wang Lin's body flickered and appeared next to the old man. He formed a seal with his right hand and placed a seal into the old man's body. Then, he pushed the celestial sword forward and the old man's head separated from his body and flew into Wang Lin's hand.
The old man's body fell to the ground with a bang.
Wang Lin placed his finger on the old man's forehead. A moment later, he frowned and muttered to himself, "No soul?"
The moment he chopped off the old man's head, he had used a secret technique of the Soul Refining Sect to ensure that the old man's soul would remain inside the head.
He pondered for a moment and glanced at the head. With a wave of his right hand, a ghostly flame immediately wrapped around the head. Sizzling sounds could be heard as the old man's flesh and blood were immediately refined.
However, the old man's skull did not show any signs of melting under the ghostly flame. There was a damaged black symbol engraved on the skull, as if it had been branded.
This symbol was exactly the same as the ancestral symbol the old man had unleashed.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin put the head into his storage bag and flew into the distance.
As he flew, the sound of the mosquito flying through the air came from the distance. The mosquito beast's body flashed toward him. Its large mouth was covered in blood, and its eyes were filled with joy.
After putting away the mosquito beast, Wang Lin scanned the fourth floor and did not find any more Reincarnation Trees before entering the fifth floor.
