The black-armored old man frowned slightly and his eyes shined brightly. His gaze first looked at the underworld river in the sky. After pausing for a moment, his gaze fell on Sword Saint Ling Tianhou's sword energy.
This time his eyes shined brightly as he stared at the sword energy and took a deep breath.
"This underworld river formed from dao does have a spell, but it is only at its embryonic form, so it's not powerful enough.
However, this sword energy … This sword energy is very strong … very strong!!
"The person who can release this sword energy must be a peerless powerhouse. I'm afraid he has already reached the third stage of the Nirvana Shatterer stage!
"Wang Lin has taken out both of his ultimate skills, the underworld river and Ling Tianhou's sword energy. His goal is not to fight this person but to shock him!
Wang Lin was now sober and had suppressed the madness from the Celestial Ascension Fruit. At this moment, he had regained his sanity. The old man before him was not someone he could deal with, not to mention the mysterious existence inside the black tower.
The black-armored old man withdrew his gaze from the sword energy and looked at Wang Lin. He silently pondered.
The surroundings were completely silent. Only the sound of the underworld river flowing could be heard. This sound spread out and turned into ripples.
Just at this moment, a powerful divine sense suddenly charged out from the tower behind the black-armored old man.
"Where did you learn that palm strike!?!?" The divine will transformed into a bolt of lightning that echoed out in all directions.
The moment this voice appeared, the earth shattered, but it stopped 100 feet from Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed. He remembered that it was this voice that caused him to be seriously injured countless times along the way. If not for the killing intent and slaughter intent, he would have already died.
Wang Lin said, "I learned it from the Celestial Realm!"
The powerful divine sense muttered, "Celestial Realm … Yes, he did go to the Celestial Realm back then …"
Wang Lin retreated. He was no longer affected by the Celestial Ascension Fruit, and now that he had calmed down, he was sweating profusely.
"Capture him! I want him alive!" The divine sense returned to the pagoda and disappeared.
The black-armored old man didn't hesitate at all. He suddenly jumped out like a bolt of lightning toward Wang Lin. With his late stage Ascendant cultivation, his hands formed a seal in the air and he shouted, "Wind!"
With that one word, a hurricane immediately appeared out of nowhere. As it swept across, the earth shattered inch by inch, turning into countless gravel that was sucked into the hurricane and charging towards Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. He took a few steps back and pointed his right hand at the sky. The Yellow River of Dao suddenly poured down like a yellow river from the sky, sweeping over.
As the tornado closed in, it was blocked by the Yellow Springs. Under the power of reincarnation, it was immediately pulled into the Yellow Springs.
"You already have your own Dao at such a young age. You are indeed not simple!" The black-armored old man's voice was calm. He formed a seal with his right hand and pointed to the sky.
"Ley!"
As the old man shouted, the sky suddenly became filled with dark clouds. These dark clouds were shaped like ugly demon faces.
After the word "ley" came out, the sky rumbled and a hole appeared in the dark clouds. A bolt of black thunder descended from the sky with a thunderous rumble!
Wang Lin's expression changed and he raised his left pinky without hesitation. He stared at the roaring bolt of thunder and pointed it out!
Underworld Finger!
Wang Lin couldn't afford to be careless with this thunder spell. He had heard Situ Nan mention that among cultivators, thunder spells were the most difficult to learn. Unless one had a powerful spell, it would be extremely difficult to learn!
This was because thunder was the might of the heavens, the power of the heavens. How could a mortal use it?
Under the command of the Underworld Finger, the Underworld River began to churn. The entire river moved along with Wang Lin's finger and the Underworld River was pushed back. It carried the power of reincarnation and shot toward the black thunder in the sky!
An earth-shattering rumble echoed across the sky. The Underworld River began to collapse, but the black thunder also quickly dissipated. Finally, after a third of the Underworld River collapsed, the thunder dissipated!
"What a good dao of your own!" The black-armored old man sneered as he pointed with his right hand and shouted, "Rain!"
The dark clouds in the sky suddenly shrank and drops of black rain fell from the sky. These drops of rain were like arrows that shot toward Wang Lin. "
Late stage Ascendant cultivation … is indeed not something I can fight, but if you want to kill me, it won't be so easy! "Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he took a step and entered the Underworld River!
After entering the Underworld River, he turned into the Underworld River. He was dao, he was the Underworld River!
A third of the Underworld River that had collapsed turned into a giant wave the moment Wang Lin stepped in. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a yellow dragon!
Where Wang Lin stood was where the dragon head was!
The dragon head lifted up and let out a roar. This roar was the roar of the Underworld River, Wang Lin's heaven-defying dao!
This was the roar of Wang Lin as he raised his head.
As the roar echoed, the black rain falling from the sky suddenly stopped and shattered into strands of black gas. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was filled with black gas.
"What a good dao incarnation, but unfortunately, your dao can't even withstand one blow from me!
The Old Man doesn't have a dao, but the Old Man's armor has its own dao! "
The old man's expression was calm as he sneered and opened his arms. His body flew into the air and he shouted, "Wind!"
A violent wind appeared once more and formed a giant vortex in the sky. This was a wind vortex, and the moment it appeared, all the black gas in the sky was sucked in.
"Rain!"
The old man shouted once more. With one word, drops of black rain appeared from the wind vortex. These drops of rain were formed by demonic energy, and their power was extraordinary!
"Thunder!"
With a thunderous rumble, another bolt of black thunder appeared from the dark clouds in the sky. The moment this bolt of thunder appeared, black lightning moved like crazy along with the surrounding raindrops.
At this moment, the black thunder was in the middle, and the countless raindrops were connected by the lightning. It was like a net of lightning that spread across the sky.
"Thunder!" The old man's voice seemed to suppress the thunder!
The black thunder, the raindrops, and even the vortex descended toward the ground at lightning speed!
Wang Lin raised his head. This battle was the peak of his life, something he had never experienced before!
Fighting a late stage Ascendant cultivator while at the early stage of Ascendant, unless something heaven-defying happened, he would without a doubt lose!
Wang Lin clearly knew this because he had that heaven-defying item!
Ling Tianhou's sword energy was that heaven-defying item!
Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and the one-billion-soul soul flag appeared. 100 million soul fragments rushed out like crazy. After they appeared, they didn't fly into the sky but quickly entered the underworld river.
10,000 soul fragments all entered the underworld river!
"Under the stimulation of the Celestial Ascension Fruit, I was able to transform the underworld river into dao. Now that I'm awake, I can also form the soul of the underworld river!"
100 million soul fragments fused into the underworld river and condensed into one soul. This soul was the soul of the underworld river!
The underworld river that had a soul moved when the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning descended. Wang Lin's origin soul spread out and his dao entered the underworld river. At this moment, his origin soul let out a roar and the underworld river charged out from the ground.
With the soul fragments inside, the underworld river seemed to become intelligent. It was like a yellow dragon that was going to devour the wind, rain, thunder, and thunder spell!
At the same time, Shi San's 10,000 strands of slaughter energy rushed out from between Wang Lin's eyebrows and entered the yellow dragon. At this moment, the underworld river was filled with killing intent!
This was the real Wang Lin's underworld river. It contained Shi San's 10,000 strands of slaughter energy, 100 million powerful soul fragments, and Wang Lin's dao!
Everything was fused together and rushed out madly, heading straight for the old man's divine art that was descending from the sky!
This was a battle at the peak!
The black thunder whistled, the raindrops carried with them electricity, and the whirlwind increased its power. It directly collided with the Yellow Springs. At this moment, the sky changed color, and a loud rumbling sound came from the sky, reverberating continuously. The ground trembled, and cracks appeared crazily.
At this moment, the entire ancient battlefield seemed to have been torn apart and the sky above it seemed to have been shattered into pieces!
This battle was a battle between heaven and earth!
As the earth was lifted up, a large amount of soul fragments flew out. These soul fragments were individually strong and hadn't been refined by Hu Pao. The moment they flew out, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and the one-billion-soul soul flag in his hand trembled.
The soul flag turned into a black cloth that covered the sky. As it swept out, countless soul fragments were sucked into it. They turned into strands of black gas that shot toward the underworld river.
As the world shook, the black-armored old man's expression was gloomy. He looked deeply at Wang Lin and shook his head. "This wind, rain, thunder, and lightning spell is the weakest of my spells. Now you will see the dao of my armor!"
Demonic dao!
The old man wiped the armor on his chest, and the armor immediately began to squirm strangely. Strands of black demonic aura quickly flew out of the armor and condensed in front of him.
A scythe emitting monstrous demonic energy appeared before him!
The demonic aura on the scythe was extremely dense, and it seemed to contain some sort of law that transcended heaven and earth. Its appearance immediately caused cracks to appear in the surrounding space, which then rapidly dissipated.
This scythe wasn't completely corporeal; it was constantly changing between corporeal and corporeal. There were also sizzling sounds coming from the scythe.
The moment the scythe appeared, the old man revealed a painful expression as if he was enduring unimaginable torture. The single-horned devil shadow that had burrowed into the old man's body gradually appeared. This devil shadow's expression was the exact opposite of the old man's; it was extremely comfortable.
The devil shadow completely came out from between the old man's eyebrows and entered the scythe. At this moment, the scythe seemed to become alive and charged at Wang Lin.
In the sky, the underworld river continued to collide with the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Thunderous rumbles echoed across the world as the scythe closed in, leaving behind a long trail of demonic energy.
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed as he raised his right hand. Sword Saint Ling Tianhou's sword energy condensed at his fingertip!
Ling Tianhou loved swords. He created the four small worlds and refined them into four sword gods. He was a powerful cultivator on planet Tian Yun who was as famous as Tian Yunzi. The power of his sword energy was unimaginable!
