After seeing Wang Lin arrive, the old man revealed a look of relief and let out a sigh of relief.
"Wang Daoyou, let's talk this out. What do you want to know? Ask away. The Old Man promises to tell you everything I know without a single lie!"
The short old man felt helpless. His cultivation level was lower than Wang Lin's, and even his treasures weren't as good. While he was escaping, Wang Lin didn't make a move himself. However, Wang Lin casually tossed out two treasures that almost drove him crazy.
The flying sword wasn't too bad. Aside from its sturdiness, the power of the sword light wasn't too great. However, its sturdiness gave him quite a headache. No matter what kind of Magic Technique or Divine Ability he used, they were all ineffective against it. If it wasn't for the fact that he was running for his life, he would have thought of a way to seize the flying sword and study it properly.
Compared to the flying sword, what truly frightened the short elder and made him give up all resistance was the strange and unfathomable scimitar!
In the eyes of the old man, this curved blade was like an ancient demon god harvesting lives. Its speed was too fast, and from the beginning until the end, it was stuck to the center of the old man's brows. This feeling was like an invisible hand was strangling his neck. As long as the other party exerted force, no matter how he resisted, it would be difficult for him to escape death.
As a result, how could the short old man dare to escape? He could only stand there and wait for Wang Lin to arrive while the blade and sword faced each other.
The bitterness in the old man's heart was extremely heavy.
He was filled with regret. He shouldn't have come to Planet Earth with Shi Fang and provoked such a fiend.
He no longer cared about Shi Fang's life or death. Right now, he was thinking about how to save his own life!
Wang Lin stared at the old man as strands of grey gas moved around his right hand. He calmly said, "Many years ago, when the Sword Saint returned from the Celestial Realm, did anything strange happen?
I will only give you one chance. Hesitate, die!
If you can't answer, die!
If it's different from what Shi Fang said, die! "
The short old man was startled, but he didn't hesitate to say, "When the Sword Saint returned, there was a very terrifying sword spirit that chased after him. It fought with the Sword Saint for several days before the sword spirit collapsed into countless pieces. The Sword Saint sealed one third of them and suppressed them in the depths of the East Demon Spirit Sea!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "What is so mysterious about the East Demon Spirit Sea?"
The short old man didn't dare to hesitate and quickly said, "The East Demon Spirit Sea is one of the three forbidden areas of planet Tian Yun. The control of the East Demon Spirit Sea changes every 10,000 years. This time, it belongs to my Da Lou Sword Sect, and there are ancient demons inside. The Demon Spirit Gate opens every 5,000 years. Every time it opens, all the sects on planet send disciples to capture the ancient demons.
"Capturing the ancient demons is secondary; the main purpose of the East Demon Spirit Sea is a trial, a bloody trial. Once you enter, the danger level is very high!
It can even be said that the fewer people that come out, the more benefits we will obtain. The real benefit is that the instant we come out, we will receive the East Sea's Demon Spirit Empowerment! "As he said this, a trace of greed appeared in the short elder's eyes.
"Demon Spirit Empowerment?" Wang Lin's eyes became serious.
"That's right, this Demon Spirit Empowerment can help a cultivator forcibly increase their cultivation level by one realm!
If you receive the Demon Spirit Empowerment when you are at the Ascendant stage, then you can lower the threshold to the lowest. As a result, your chances of reaching the Ascendant stage will increase infinitely.
"Of course, if you are already at the Ascendant stage, then with the help of the Demon Spirit Empowerment, you can take another step. If you are at the late stage of Ascendant, you might be able to take that step and enter the Yin and Yang stage, allowing you to have an immortal body that lasts tens of thousands of years!
"That's why the East Demon Spirit Sea opens once every 5,000 years. It is a big event on planet Tian Yun, and there are many participants. However, the East Demon Spirit Sea is too dangerous. If you want to obtain something, you have to pay a price. Those that can enter are all geniuses.
Furthermore, it was rumored that if it was possible, only one person could walk out alive!
Then … you will obtain a reward that has never appeared in the Demon Spirit Gate before … a complete low-grade celestial spell! "
Wang Lin pondered a bit and his eyes lit up. With a thought, Xu Liguo felt something and the half-moon blade gave off a ghostly glow. In almost an instant, it pierced through the short old man's head and went through the back of his head.
The short old man's body trembled and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His eyes dimmed as he pointed at Wang Lin. Then he closed his eyes and fell to the ground, motionless.
Wang Lin waved his right hand and the half-moon blade and celestial sword returned to his bag of holding. Then his body flashed and disappeared.
Three incense sticks of time after he disappeared, the short old man on the ground suddenly opened his eyes. The wound between his eyebrows moved strangely and quickly healed.
He took a deep breath and looked a bit dispirited. He looked back at the void behind him and muttered to himself, "It's not that easy to kill me!
The Three Divine Sense that the Old Man cultivates allows him to live three times. I didn't think he would use the last one today!
Wang Lin, once the Old Man returns to the Da Lou Sword Sect, I'll definitely find a way to kill you to get revenge for what happened today! "
His eyes flickered with a cold light. His body flashed, and he dashed into the distance.
However!
At the instant he moved, two streams of gray aura shot out from the forest in the mountain range without a sound. They were so fast that they tore through the air and arrived at his location.
The short old man's expression changed greatly. Without any hesitation, he shouted, "Scatter!"
As soon as the word left his mouth, a large wave of air ripples appeared around him, spreading in all directions in an attempt to stop the gray gas's attack.
At the same time, the short old man took a step back and half of his body entered the void. He was about to teleport away, but it was too late!
The two strands of grey gas completely ignored the ripple and pierced through it like a crazily swinging chain into the short old man's body.
The old man's face turned pale and he let out a miserable laugh. He could clearly feel the two strands of grey gas rotating like crazy inside his body. Every time they completed one cycle, a portion of his vitality would disappear.
Wang Lin continued to move through the depths of the Earth Northern Demon Realm. Around his body was a cloud of grey gas that was sometimes thick and sometimes thin. There were several strands of grey gas rotating around his fingertips.
As he flew, his expression suddenly changed. He looked behind him and revealed a cold smile.
Shortly after, a thick strand of grey gas came from the forest behind Wang Lin. It turned into a ball of grey gas and stopped moving.
After looking at the ball of grey gas, Wang Lin's right hand reached out and grabbed the ball. When he opened his hand again, the ball of grey gas disappeared without a trace.
Wang Lin's body moved like lightning as he turned into a large amount of grey gas and charged toward the depths of the Earth Devil Northern Realm.
"Time waits for no man. The East Demon Spirit Sea is the most suitable place for me to cultivate the Celestial Slaughter Art. This is one of the reasons I'm going!
"Senior Zhou Yi has helped me, and I, Wang Lin, will repay those who help me. He is sealed in the East Demon Spirit Sea by the Sword Saint, so I need to do my best to save him. This is the second reason I'm going!
"My master, Tian Yunzi, believes that everything is determined by the heavens, so he won't do anything inexplicable. There must be a reason why he wants me to go to the East Demon Spirit Sea. If I don't go, I'll be going against fate. As a result, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in the Heavenly Fate Sect. This is the third reason I'm going!"
"I just don't know if I'll be lucky enough to find something that can increase the metal element in the East Demon Spirit Sea. If the heaven defying bead is complete, it will be very beneficial to Wan Er and awaken her …" Wang Lin touched the spot between his eyebrows and a hint of reminiscence flashed across his eyes.
Thinking about Li Muwan, Wang Lin's cold heart felt a hint of warmth. Li Muwan was the only person who had entered his heart and accompanied him to planet Tian Yun.
"Wan Er …" Wang Lin pondered for a bit before letting out a sigh. Then he turned into grey gas and disappeared.
The deeper one went into the Earth Northern Demon Realm, the more powerful fierce beasts there were. There were even desolate beasts equivalent to Ascendant cultivators within 300,000 kilometers of the Earth Northern Demon Realm.
In the last 10 days, the Earth Northern Demon Realm was filled with grey gas. Large amounts of grey gas came from all over the place and took away endless vitality.
However, this grey gas never came within 300,000 kilometers of the Earth Northern Demon Realm, so it didn't attract too much attention from the desolate beasts. Also, the grey gas only lasted for 10 days before disappearing, so there wasn't much of a change.
Ten days later, when there were only six days left until the East Demon Spirit Sea, Wang Lin walked out from the northern part of the Earth Demon Spirit Sea.
Compared to many days ago, his entire person seemed to possess an additional killing intent that was deeply hidden. Both of his eyes were faintly flickering with a gray glow, especially between the five fingers of his right hand. Five strands of rapidly rotating gray gas were crazily rotating between his fingers, emitting waves of soft whistling sounds.
This voice seemed to contain some sort of strange power, causing all those who heard it to be involuntarily attracted to it.
"The Celestial Slaughter Art can be considered to have reached the small success stage!" After walking out from the Earth Northern Demon Realm, Wang Lin calmly looked up at the sky.
"Transforming life force into life marks is not easy. In the end, I only managed to form three marks …"
A grey rune suddenly appeared between Wang Lin's eyebrows. This rune wasn't complicated, but it was filled with a powerful vitality. The moment it appeared, it extended endlessly, and in the blink of an eye, it covered Wang Lin's entire body.
Shortly after, the same rune appeared between Wang Lin's eyebrows. After a few flashes, a total of three runes extended and covered Wang Lin's entire body.
Looking down at his body, Wang Lin's right hand formed a sword with his finger and gently swept across. There was a sound of friction, but the finger sword didn't pierce through.
"East Demon Spirit Sea …" Wang Lin looked into the distance and revealed a decisive look!
