Wang Lin stared at the spirit beast. After the third blood rune was placed on the spirit beast, the aura it released was something that even he felt was terrifying.
The spirit beast's body trembled violently and the red light in its eyes became even more intense until it was three feet tall.
Its body was originally a thousand feet tall, like a small mountain. However, at this moment, as it let out muffled roars, the beast's body rapidly shrank. Cracking sounds continuously rang out from its body.
Wang Lin calmly looked at the spirit beast. His expression was calm, but his eyes were bright. The jade that recorded how the spirit beast was unsealed had mentioned this.
Most of the power of the God Slaying War Chariot came from the spirit beast. Every blood rune that was placed on the spirit beast could stimulate the evolution of the spirit beast.
If this stimulation reached its peak, the spirit beast would explode and die if the seal wasn't removed. However, if the seal was removed too early, the beast's evolution would be interrupted and its power wouldn't reach its peak.
In truth, the maker of the three God Slaying War Chariots died before they could be used.
According to his plan, the three God Slaying War Chariots needed to be activated for the first time before they could be truly perfect.
That was why the seal had to be removed when it reached its peak. Only then would the power of the God Slaying War Chariot be worthy of its name!
According to the maker's plan, after he gathered all the materials, he would find a Celestial Emperor powerhouse to activate the God Slaying War Chariot for the first time. This way, he could ensure that none of the God Slaying War Chariots had any regrets!
In fact, he even said in the jade slip that even a Celestial Emperor would not be able to activate the third God Slaying War Chariot that he had created.
The spirit beast's body continued to shrink, and the aura from its body became even more terrifying. There was wind blowing around the plains, but at this moment, it seemed like the wind didn't even dare to appear. The sky gradually became dark and no longer clear.
On the ground, countless tiny grains of sand were trembling gently, as though they were being attracted by a mysterious force.
Wang Lin's eyes were like torches. The aura of the spirit beast in his eyes had already surpassed the early stage of Ascendant and was gradually reaching the mid stage of Ascendant.
A few breaths later, the Soul Beast's body shrank from a thousand feet to a hundred feet. However, the red light in its eyes had grown to nearly seven feet, and within this red light, there were wisps of mist.
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed as he formed a series of hand seals. A dense black light shone from his hands as he stared at the soul beast.
In that moment, the red glow in the Soul Beast Limit suddenly shrank, and a frenzied, destructive aura began to rise up!
The rate of its growth was too fast, as if there was a rapidly expanding sphere inside the soul beast's body. Wang Lin's eyes flickered with inference, but he didn't look away. He pointed forward and shouted, "Second seal, open!"
The black light flashed, and the instant the aura of the soul beast reached its peak, it landed on its body. In an instant, the soul beast's body stopped trembling, and an aura that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth stabilized its body.
It raised its head and roared towards the sky.
At this moment, thunderous rumbles came from the sky and bolts of lightning descended. This wasn't divine retribution, it was caused by the soul beast's spell.
As the lightning descended, all of it landed on the soul beast's body. The continuous bolts of lightning seemed to connect together to form a long line.
The soul beast's body was surrounded by lightning, forming a sphere. Inside the sphere, it slowly went from standing up to lying down. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a beast that looked like a qilin.
However, it wasn't a qilin, but a Thunder Beast that was even rarer than qilins in the Celestial Realm!
A silver horn slowly protruded out of its head amidst the crackling sounds of electricity.
When Wang Lin saw the silver horn, he revealed a hint of disappointment. He let out a sigh and took a step forward. His right hand drew a few lines in the air and the fourth blood rune was formed. After he grabbed it, he charged at the Thunder Beast.
"The jade said that if the second God Slaying War Chariot's second seal is perfectly opened, then the golden horn will appear …"
His body instantly closed in and his right hand passed through the lightning to press down between the Thunder Beast's eyebrows.
The timing he chose was the same as mentioned in the jade slip. After a soul beast evolved into a Thunder Beast, the moment its horn appeared was the only time in its life that it would be branded. The creator of the Thunder Beast had intentionally left behind this branding period so that it could be used for branding purposes.
The blood rune was imprinted between the Thunder Beast's eyebrows. At this moment, there was a flash of golden light on the beast's silver horn. Wang Lin was startled, but when he looked closely, there was no more golden light.
The Thunder Beast that was imprinted with four blood runes no longer looked at Wang Lin with resistance, but it wasn't gentle either. It looked at Wang Lin for a moment, then its body flickered and it disappeared into the God Slaying War Chariot.
Wang Lin's right hand reached out and the God Slaying War Chariot was put away into his bag of holding. His eyes lit up and he thought, "That golden light wasn't an illusion, but why is it like this … However, even the power of the silver horn is enough to fight against mid stage Ascendant cultivators!
"However, the demons here are easy to deal with, but if a cultivator can reach the mid stage of Ascendant, then if they don't have any powerful spells, they must have amazing treasures, or both!
"As a result, I can't say I can win against mid stage Ascendant cultivators with my early stage Ascendant cultivation … However, if they want to kill me, it will be impossible!
"If I meet mid stage Ascendant cultivators whose spells and treasures are weaker than mine, I can still kill them!
"As for the late stage of Ascendant … it is too difficult!" Wang Lin let out a sigh.
"Whether it was Rosefinch's son or the old man in black, they were both at the late stage of Ascendant. Even if I use the Thunder Beast, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the power of late stage Ascendant cultivators. Luckily, I have Ling Tianhou's sword energy, so if I really meet them, I won't be afraid!"
Wang Lin took a step forward and teleported back to the Soul Refining Tribe's pagoda.
"The reason late stage Ascendant cultivators are so strong is because this is the end of the first step of cultivation!
"In particular, peak late stage Ascendant cultivators are at the peak of the first step. Only people at the same level as them can fight them; they are not people that mid stage Ascendant cultivators can resist … Unless they have a heaven-defying treasure, like Ling Tianhou's sword energy, or the fourth soul in the one-billion-soul soul scroll!
"Even so, the fourth soul was still subdued by Rosefinch, and Teacher Dun Tian also died … Back then, the old man under the pagoda said that the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning spell was only his weakest spell. That should be true …"
Inside the pagoda, Wang Lin sat down in the lotus position and began to ponder.
"If I had more than one million strands of slaughter energy, the one-billion-soul soul flag, the God Slaying War Chariot, and the underworld river … Would I be able to defeat a late stage Ascendant cultivator …" Wang Lin silently pondered.
"I'm not confident … However, with Ling Tianhou's sword energy, if a late stage Ascendant cultivator really dares to provoke me, I'll have to use one shot of sword energy!" Wang Lin's eyes became cold.
"Next, I need to properly refine the three swords. It's a waste for these three swords to fall into the hands of their original owners. I've studied them before, and there seems to be some sort of divine ability within them!
"However, this spell seems to require a combination attack to be used." Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and the three swords, Mo Yang, Zi Shu, and Hai Zhu, flew out.
The three swords gave off fierce sword energy. Wang Lin spat out a mouthful of origin energy that turned into a green mist that surrounded the three swords. Then he closed his eyes and focused on refining them.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed. On this day, several rays of light came from 50,000 kilometers away from the Soul Refining Tribe. Their target was very clear, it was the Soul Refining Tribe!
Among these people, there was one person wearing a golden robe that was surrounded by a golden glow. This person didn't look very old and had a cold and arrogant expression.
Next to him was a young man wearing a robe as white as snow. He was handsome, but at this moment, his face was filled with bitterness. As he flew, he looked at the Soul Refining Tribe with a complicated expression, and hesitation could be seen on his face.
The golden-robed man looked over and coldly snorted. "Xu Yunshan, what are you thinking?"
This white-robed young man was the young master of the Xuan Yuan Sect who entered the Demon Spirit Land with Wang Lin, Sun Yunshan!
When he entered the Demon Spirit Land, there were several powerful elders protecting him, but now he was alone.
After hearing the golden-robed man's voice, Sun Yunshan's body trembled and he respectfully said, "Sovereign, this subordinate …"
Before he finished speaking, the golden-robed man interrupted him and coldly said, "There is no need to explain.
"There is no need to explain. Since you have joined the cultivation union, you must obey. If it wasn't for your little sister's face, do you think you would have participated in capturing Wang Lin? This is a great opportunity to earn merit!"
Sun Yunshan silently pondered and muttered in his heart, "I wonder if the Soul Refining Tribe's Wang Lin … and the Heavenly Fate Sect's Wang Lin are the same person … Alas, I'm asking too much. It's impossible for them to be the same person."
"In order to capture this Wang Lin, the ancestor specially sent out a celestial guard. There will be no danger, but we must be careful not to let that Wang Lin escape!" After the golden-robed man finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man in black at the end of the group.
This man's appearance was ordinary, and from beginning to end, his expression was calm like an ancient well. It was as if nothing in the world could move him.
Faint ripples slowly spread out from his body and fused with the surrounding space. His aura had almost completely dissipated, so ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to detect his existence with their divine sense.
To be able to fuse with the world and turn it into nothingness meant that this person's cultivation had reached the early stage of Ascendant.
However, this person's Ascendant cultivation was a bit strange; there was no origin energy inside his origin soul!
Inside the Soul Refining Tribe's pagoda, Wang Lin opened his eyes and a bolt of lightning shot out from his eyes!
"Shi San, we have guests. Invite them over!"
After taking care of our daughter for a whole day, I really don't have the energy to erupt. My wife and I are both tired, so please forgive me. Tomorrow, I'll try to erupt!
Here are the monthly votes. Er Gen, please check to see if there are still monthly votes left. Er Gen wants to know if I can still maintain first place in the celestial martial arts category in April!
Er Gen has maintained this position for six months. During this time, I eliminated the military doctor, Zi Fu, and Xu Xian. This time, it's the celestial gourd. I'm still 200 votes short. Fellow cultivators, please help me!
