"However, it is impossible for you to take one of my arms right now!"
The golden-armored man took a deep breath as he stared at Wang Lin and shook his head. "If you can ring it 15 times, then I swear to the Sky Demon that I will give you one of my arms!"
The golden-armored man let out a cold snort. "If you can't do it, then shut up. If you continue to be noisy, then don't blame the Old Man for not being able to control himself and end your life!"
Wang Lin coldly looked at the golden-armored man. This person's cultivation level was very high. When Wang Lin caught the Sun Spear, he already knew that this person's cultivation level was at the peak of the mid stage of Ascendant. He was only a sliver away from the late stage of Ascendant!
Although this person's cultivation level was only one realm lower than the Xuan Vice Commander-in-Chief, this one realm difference was very big for Wang Lin!
This was only secondary; the most important thing was that this person's cultivation method was extremely tyrannical. When Wang Lin caught the Sun Spear, he immediately noticed how strange this power was.
In his view, this golden-armored man's spell was related to the Sun Fire. The power of this spell combined with this person's cultivation level allowed him to stand at the peak of cultivators at the same cultivation level. He would even dare to fight a normal late stage Ascendant cultivator!
Unless he encountered a titled Ascendant cultivator, with this spell, it would be very difficult for him to lose!
Of course, the difference between fighting this person during the day and night was also very large!
If it was during the day and noon, then he would without a doubt lose!
However, if it was late at night and the sky was dark, then it would be relatively easy to fight this person.
After withdrawing his gaze, Wang Lin no longer looked at the golden-armored man. Instead, his gaze fell on the demon drum. He had already rung it eight times, and the rebound force from the eighth drum had broken through nearly 3,000 layers of life seals.
"Even if Mo Lihai can't fight, I've already rung it eight times. At most, I only need one more to enter the top 10, so I shouldn't continue. Otherwise, if I get injured, it won't be worth it …
"However, when I hit the Demon Drum, the sound of it moved my mind. This kind of feeling can only be felt when I was listening to the zither music beside the river … Could it be that hitting the Demon Drum is also in line with the Dao …?"
"Striking this drum is not Dao will, but the reverberating power of this drum contains the word 'defying'. The power I use to strike it is following my will, and the rebound is defying!
"This reverse and reverse actually contains the transformation of the Heavenly Dao …" Wang Lin's eyes revealed a strange light as he stared at the demon drum. At this moment, he no longer hesitated. Taking a deep breath, he punched out!
Dong! The ninth drumbeat rang out!
The rebound force was like a flood that flowed through Wang Lin's right hand and into his body. This rebound force was the power of defying. As it passed through Wang Lin's body, his life seals quickly dissipated. 100, 800, 1,000, 2,200, 3,400 … until more than 3,600 life seals dissipated. Although the rebound force had weakened by more than half, there was still some that continued to rush in.
At this moment, more than 3,700 life seals collapsed for the first time since Wang Lin obtained them!
As the last seal collapsed, the rebound force entered Wang Lin's body and flowed through his meridians like a hot knife through butter.
Wang Lin's body felt like it was in the middle of a storm. His hair fluttered violently and his clothes were blown backwards.
His body involuntarily stepped back in the air. One step, two steps, three steps, four steps … all the way to the 19th step. Wang Lin's right leg took a step back and he stopped!
His face was strangely red, but it took a while for it to return to normal.
After seeing this, the golden-armored man let out a big sigh of relief. He sneered again and thought, "This child can't possibly ring the drum 15 times. This is only the ninth time and he has already reached his limit. I'm certain that the tenth time will be his limit!"
The surroundings were completely silent. No one was in the mood to talk at this moment. The ninth ring from the drum was a result that surpassed the first demon general, Mo Fei. Everyone who saw this knew that from now on, Wang Lin's name would shine brightly in the Sky Demon Country!
It has to be said that the Demon Emperor doesn't care about the background of those with ability. Wasn't the Sky Commander-in-Chief also a cultivator?
No one talked about this. Their gazes were all focused on Wang Lin.
Mo Lihai stared at Wang Lin. In just a few short months, Wang Lin had changed too much.
"Nine times … I can't do it …" Mo Lihai let out a bitter sigh.
Wang Lin stood at the center of the square. Countless gazes were focused on him, but he didn't care. At this moment, his expression was unsettled and he frowned.
The rebound force from the demon drum went through more than 3,700 life seals and didn't enter his body much!
He cycled his celestial spiritual energy and returned to normal.
However, the moment the rebound force entered his body, Wang Lin felt a mysterious aura. This aura contained an unyielding aura and a domineering aura that defied the heavens!
The rebound force from the demon drum was due to the unyielding and arrogant aura of this aura. Anyone who dared to provoke this aura would have to withstand its crazy counterattack. Even if the sky collapsed, it would hold up the sky and pierce through it!
This was the intent of this aura!
"Defy …" Wang Lin muttered to himself.
"I was wrong before. By using the life seal to resist this defying will, I was unknowingly resisting the defying will in my heart …" Wang Lin's eyes revealed a mysterious light. At this moment, it was as if his entire body had ascended to a higher level. He silently looked at the demonic energy.
At this moment, the Sky Commander-in-Chief opened his eyes and looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin was silent for a long time before he took a step forward. One step, three steps. After 19 steps, he arrived next to the demon drum. Wang Lin didn't immediately offer it up. Instead, he used his palm to gently stroke the rough, black surface of the drum.
Traces of an unyielding will slowly entered Wang Lin's body through his palm.
He slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, his entire body seemed to have fused with the demon drum as his aura slowly dissipated.
The golden-armored man frowned, then let out a cold laugh and said, "Trying to be mysterious. Could it be that touching the demon drum will allow one to strike it 15 times? If that's really the case, then wouldn't the servants that clean the drum every day be able to strike it more than 100 times?
Ridiculous! "
He wasn't the only one who had this thought. Even the Commander-in-Chief on the north and south stands frowned.
"What is this kid doing?" Xuan Shuai was confused.
"Could it be that this cultivator can communicate with the demon drum!?"
Someone among the Commander-in-Chief chuckled.
"He's not communicating, he's comprehending. When I struck the demon drum in the past, I also felt the aura contained within it. Everyone, have you forgotten?" The only female Commander-in-Chief among the Commander-in-Chief, Yu Shuai, said softly.
With this, the Commander-in-Chief's expressions all turned serious.
The officials and nobles on the high stands could no longer remain silent and began to discuss among themselves.
Among the Commander-in-Chief, Mo Fei's eyes flickered as he stared at Wang Lin and said softly, "Could it be that you also felt the aura …"
The moment Wang Lin closed his eyes, the unyielding aura became clear.
As the aura gathered in his body, Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit gradually sank into it.
It had completely merged with the demon drum.
"I can't resist the sound of the drum, but I have to merge with it. If I can comprehend the sound, the reverberating force won't be able to harm me, and I'll be able to cleanse my body instead!" Wang Lin opened his eyes, which were filled with clarity. He raised his right hand and put it down gently.
"Dong!" The tenth sound echoed throughout the square.
Wang Lin's body immediately felt an unimaginable force coming from the drum. At that instant, Wang Lin decisively withdrew his life seal, allowing the force to enter his body.
The force moved around his body like crazy. Drops of black sweat came out from all the pores on Wang Lin's body. The moment the black impurities left his body, a comfortable feeling of cleansing that he had only felt when he was at the Foundation Establishment stage appeared in Wang Lin's body.
However, this feeling didn't last for long. The force that entered his body immediately went berserk uncontrollably. As it moved around, Wang Lin's face turned pale.
"Cleansing!
This kid is using the sound of the drum to cleanse his body! "All the Commander-in-Chief were shocked.
They weren't the only ones. Cries of shock came from the Demon Generals. Shi Xiao's gaze toward Wang Lin became even more murderous. He raised his hand many times, but after hesitating for a long time, he put it down again.
The golden-armored man's eyes flashed coldly as he sneered in his heart. "Cleansing … the Old Man has followed the Demon Emperor for a long time and heard the Demon Emperor say that the sound of the drum can cleanse one's body. However, your cultivation isn't high enough. If you forcefully cleanse your body, you will only be seriously injured!"
The Sky Commander-in-Chief's half-opened eyes revealed a hint of disappointment before he closed them once again.
"There's no need to watch this kid anymore …" The moment the Sky Commander-in-Chief closed his eyes, he sighed in his heart.
Wang Lin's face was pale, but his eyes were bright.
"The reverse force of the demon drum contains some kind of consciousness. If I merge with it without holding back, although it is in line with the word 'reverse', this reverse is not my dao, but the dao of the demon drum!
"I was injured during my cleansing not because my cultivation isn't high enough, but because my dao is different!
"In this world, whether it's cultivators or living beings, as long as they cultivate to defy the heavens, they will have their own reverse!
"This reverse is only one word, but according to one's comprehension, it can be divided into countless great daos!
"I, Wang Lin, have cultivated for 700 years. I have my own dao!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. Although his face was pale, at this moment, there was a domain surrounding his body!
The light in his eyes slowly dissipated and was replaced with a hint of loneliness and sadness.
He raised his right hand and gently touched the demon drum!
"Dong!" The 11th beat of the drum echoed.
At this moment, a sense of sadness echoed across the square along with the sound of the drum. It spread far and wide and even affected the entire Sky Demon City!
The sound of the drum contained a sense of sadness. It was like the sound of the zither, moving one's heart.
Using sadness to enter the soul, using the soul to enter the mind, using the mind to beat the drum, using the drum to pass dao … "The sound of the drum contains the mind … Impossible, this is impossible. How can this person do this? This is absolutely impossible!!!"
For the first time, the expression of the golden-armored man completely changed. He subconsciously took a few steps back and stared at Wang Lin in a daze.
For the first time, the Sky Commander-in-Chief opened his eyes. For the first time, he stood up and looked at Wang Lin!
In the entire square, the only person that could move him was Wang Lin!
