"What bullsh * t divine retribution! You bastard brat, you dare to destroy my Sky Demon Country's Yan Jing!!" "Damn it, damn it all! You little brat, damn it, damn this divine retribution even more!"
"Haha, divine retribution, good. My ancestor was born to face divine retribution to cultivate. Today, I want to see what kind of power your divine retribution has!"
A series of angry roars came out of the ground. Then, a loud rumble that was not any weaker than the rumbling of thunder suddenly came from the ruins of Yan Jing.
Five huge waves of air rushed out from the ground and rose from the ground. Although they were under the pressure of the Heavens, the waves of air were still able to reach a height of ten feet.
Within these five waves of air, five white-haired old men with extremely dense demonic glints in their eyes charged out!
Just by looking at these five old men, one could feel the traces of time on their bodies. Their upper bodies were bare, and their skinny bodies actually gave off an almost barbaric aura.
The red clouds in the sky churned violently and pressed down another three inches!
The entire Yan Jing shattered. Wang Lin's body was covered in blood and his bones were being crushed. His flesh felt like it was being crushed by countless mountains.
Wang Lin's feet were standing on the ground. As the earth collapsed, his legs sank deep into the ground until his knees were about to hit the ground.
A powerful pressure landed on his mind along with the heavens' might. It was as if there was a majestic voice roaring inside Wang Lin's origin soul.
Wang Lin struggled to raise his head. He looked up at the sky and didn't say a word!
Under the pressure from the heavens' might, not only did the five old men not feel any discomfort, they began to laugh like crazy. They all flew up from the ground and floated in the air.
"So comfortable. No wonder the ancestor said that although the heavens' might is bullsh * t, it's so comfortable to be pressed down on my body that I want to curse."
"Bullsh * t, when did the ancestor say that? They clearly said that the heavens' law is a little girl. If you don't want to be pressed down by her, then you have to find a way to press her down!"
"You two are both talking nonsense. I've read all the records left by the ancestor at least 100 times. How come I've never seen such words!?"
The five old men began to argue with each other.
The Heavenly Might was even angrier. The red cloud suddenly pressed down by eight inches!
The earth rumbled and the ground of the entire Yan Jin City was crushed, creating a ring-shaped shockwave. Although it didn't float up, it spread far and wide like a dragon slithering on the ground, affecting half of the Sky Demon City.
The voices of the five old men came to an abrupt halt. Their bodies seemed to have been slapped by an invisible hand as they fell from the sky and landed on the ground.
Wang Lin was at the center of the heavenly might, and cracking sounds came from his body. His legs sank into the ground, and this time, only half of his body was visible.
The five old men on the ground immediately got up and pointed at the sky, cursing loudly.
"I'm the descendant of the ancient demon. The ancient demon doesn't exist in the Dharma Realm and is beyond the restrictions of the heavens. This Heavenly Retribution is nothing!"
As the five of them cursed, they quickly flew up from the ground. This time, their bodies were filled with demonic spiritual energy. The dense demonic spiritual energy instantly covered the entire Sky Demon City. The five of them flew into the air and charged toward the red cloud.
The Heavenly Might was vast, and the red cloud in the sky pressed down once more. This time, it was 10 feet!
The entire Heavenly Demon City seemed to have been smashed by a giant hand, and it instantly turned to dust … The ground rumbled and cracks appeared. These cracks were extremely large, and in the blink of an eye, the ground where Heavenly Demon City was located was torn apart!
Wang Lin coughed out a large mouthful of blood and his body began to collapse. In an instant, his entire body was buried deep underground, leaving only a deep hole in the ground.
Without any suspense, the five old men who were about to rush towards the red cloud fell from the sky once again, leaving five deep pits on the ground.
An old man crawled out from the deep hole and angrily said, "My ass, Heavenly Retribution! You destroyed my Sky Demon City! I'll fight you to the death!"
At this moment, Wang Lin could no longer feel anything outside. He was at the bottom of the hole, and he could no longer feel his body. All the meridians in his body were broken, and his bones were shattered.
If the heavens wanted to kill him, there was no way to live if he didn't yield!
Wang Lin's eyes were wide open. Even now, his eyes were filled with an unyielding gaze. His body could be squeezed and his origin soul could collapse, but his dao heart couldn't compromise!
A faint voice suddenly echoed in Wang Lin's mind. "In this world, if a heaven-defying cultivator appears, they will do everything they can to avoid the punishment of the Heavenly Dao …"
The Heavenly Dao wasn't afraid of heaven-defying cultivators hiding, because once they had the intention to hide, they were no longer heaven-defying … "The Heavenly Dao is truly wary of those who don't choose to hide and instead choose to fight … The Heavenly Dao will pick up these kinds of beings … You aren't the first, and you won't be the last …
"Others will choose to follow or avoid the Heavenly Retribution, but you chose to face it directly, so the Heavenly Retribution will naturally descend …
"The Heavenly Dao doesn't allow a third type of heaven-defying cultivator to appear … Countless years ago, when the universe was just born, there was a race that was the same age as the Heavenly Dao. The people of this race were extremely powerful and used their strength to prove their dao and defy the heavens. Some had amazing spells and could destroy dao with a flip of their hand and defy the heavens. Some were bloodthirsty and could change the heavens with death!
"They called themselves the Ancient Race!
Heavenly Retribution couldn't destroy them, and the might of the heavens couldn't make them yield. They became the first type of heaven-defying cultivator in this world … Countless years later, the Ancient Race split.
"Those with boundless strength called themselves Ancient Gods … Those who slaughtered called themselves Ancient Devils … And those who used divine abilities to destroy dao called themselves … Ancient Demons!
"They were the second type of heaven-defying cultivator!"
A faint voice echoed in Wang Lin's mind. At this moment, although Wang Lin's body had collapsed, his mind was calm.
"You are an Ancient Demon?"
"I am an Ancient Demon."
Wang Lin was silent.
"However, I'm not complete … When I awakened, I was inside the Demon Drum. I could feel that the skin of the Demon Drum was something that belonged to me back then.
"For countless years, I couldn't get too far from the Demon Drum, so I used some spells to create the Dragon Lake to educate the people …" I can feel that in the other eight demon countries, there are existences similar to me. They chose the same method as me to create a place similar to the Dragon Lake to educate the people … "I've communicated with other existences similar to me over the countless years, but we've never been able to reach a consensus. Every existence similar to me wants to devour the other to make themselves stronger … Perhaps this is the only way for us to be complete!"
"That's why the war between the nine countries of the Demon Spirit Realm has lasted for countless years … The appearance of cultivators caused this war that had no winner to tilt. That's why you cultivators are able to exist in the Demon Spirit Land …"
"There must be a reason why you appeared and told me all of this."
Wang Lin sent out a divine sense message.
"There is no anchor. I can help you repair your body and help you pass this divine retribution. I can give you enough power in the Sky Demon Country, but you need to do one thing for me. Help me retrieve the treasures of the other eight countries!"
Wang Lin silently pondered. Shortly after, he slowly said, "I'm not the only heaven-defying cultivator in the countless years that the Demon Spirit Land has existed …"
Without waiting for Wang Lin to speak, the voice interrupted Wang Lin with a sigh and slowly said, "You're not the first heaven-defying cultivator, but you're the first to cultivate as a mortal to become an ancient god!
I can feel the aura of an ancient god from your body … This aura is very faint but very pure! "
"The people I enlightened in the Demon Spirit Land can't withstand my power. Their bodies can't withstand my existence, no matter how strong they are … Because I'm not of the same race as them!
"Although the bodies of cultivators are better than those of the people here, there is a limit. Only a few people can barely withstand my power … You are more suitable than anyone else. This is why I chose you …" Wang Lin silently pondered. After a long time, he calmly said, "Repair my body and give me the power to resist the divine retribution!"
"As you wish …" The voice echoed.
At this instant, Wang Lin's body, which was buried deep underground, was covered by a powerful force. His body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. His meridians were reconnected and they were even stronger than before!
Piece by piece, his bones condensed and completely recovered. In fact, their strength was several times stronger than before!
His flesh and blood recovered in an instant. All of this was completed in a very short period of time!
Celestial spiritual energy moved through Wang Lin's body and flowed through his meridians. At the same time, the powerful force suddenly shrank and entered Wang Lin's body.
On the ground, the five old men had just climbed out of the pit and were about to continue cursing. However, just at this moment, the five of them were startled and looked at the pit Wang Lin was in.
One of the old men's eyes widened and he muttered, "This … This is the aura of the ancestor?"
"It seems to be the ancestor's aura …"
Wang Lin's body floated out from the pit. His long hair moved without any wind and his eyes were closed. However, an unimaginable demonic force was emitted from his body.
Under the might of the heavens, Wang Lin's body rose into the sky. The pressure from the Heavens and Earth seemed to have no effect on him at this moment. As Wang Lin rose into the sky, the demonic force emitted from his body gathered behind him and turned into a giant illusionary figure that was hundreds of meters tall!
This figure had two horns on its head, and its entire body was emitting a sinister aura. Its skin was purplish black, and its appearance caused the red clouds in the sky to emit waves of violent roars and rumbling thunder.
It was as if a monster had been born!
