"The seal of the sword spirit …" Ling Tianhou, who was wearing a daoist robe, raised his head and revealed a profound gaze.
"The place where the Old Man sealed the sword spirit is very well hidden, so how could anyone find it? However, as long as the sword spirit wants to die, it won't be able to break the seal." Ling Tianhou pondered a bit and then closed his eyes.
In the Tide Abyss, inside the crack that sealed the Zhou Yi, Wang Lin's clothes were blown by the wind and flapped against each other. He retreated several steps, his long hair scattered, and his eyes became cold.
The attack from before had dissolved the third wave of Ling Tianhou's divine sense, but the price was great. The thunder beast was scattered and had to return to the God Slaying War Chariot.
However, a gap was opened in Ling Tianhou's divine sense. However, this gap quickly closed and was about to completely disappear.
The blood in Wang Lin's body surged and many of his meridians were blocked. The celestial spiritual energy in his body was not flowing smoothly. He took a deep breath and didn't immediately adjust. Instead, he took a step and charged through the gap in Ling Tianhou's divine sense like a meteor.
Wang Lin moved at full speed with this charge, creating a series of thunderous roars!
This crack wasn't as long as Wang Lin had imagined. He charged directly into the depths of the crack, and a sliver of the Zhou Yi's aura was faintly discernible!
"Trespasser, die!"
Ling Tianhou's divine sense descended once more. This time, an incomparably domineering voice came from the divine sense. It entered Wang Lin's ears and caused him to involuntarily retreat.
The entire crack began to emit crackling sounds as the divine sense echoed. Fine cracks appeared on the surrounding mud walls.
Wang Lin's origin soul was shaken by this sound and immediately weakened. Wang Lin coughed out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.
"This Ling Tianhou is too strong!"
Wang Lin sucked in a breath of cold air. Just the divine sense he left here to seal the Zhou Yi already had such a powerful spell. If Ling Tianhou's original body were here, what kind of existence would he be … Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He slapped his bag of holding and a crystal clear brush appeared in his hand. He held the brush and quickly drew before him. There was a flash of golden light and a rune appeared.
The moment this rune appeared, it caused the dark crack to shine brightly.
Wang Lin didn't hesitate to draw once more. Two strokes, three strokes, four strokes … He didn't stop and drew seven strokes!
This was the first time Wang Lin had overlaid runes with the brush. When he drew the runes to attract the flying insects, he had only drawn one. Although there were more than 10 of them, they were all the simplest strokes.
With every stroke, Wang Lin could clearly feel a part of his origin soul enter the rune through the tip of the brush. The seven-stroke rune contained seven parts of his origin soul.
Seven strokes was Wang Lin's limit. After he obtained the celestial brush, he tried to refine it at the Soul Refining Tribe. He couldn't draw the eighth stroke because his origin soul couldn't be divided into nine parts!
There was one part in his body and one part of each of the seven strokes. He couldn't separate them unless he gave up his body and fused his origin soul with the rune. Only then would he be able to draw the eighth stroke!
After the seventh stroke was completed, the celestial spiritual energy inside his body rushed out like a wild horse and fused into the seven-stroke rune.
The seven strokes fused into one, turning into a circular rune. The rune looked extremely strange, as if it contained the universe. Its appearance was like the sun descending from the sky, descending into the crack. Rays of golden light were not only blinding, but even the origin soul would feel a stabbing pain.
The celestial brush combined with the celestial symbol. This seven-stroke rune was a complete celestial spell!
Its light pierced through the walls of the abyss, like a sharp sword piercing through the surroundings.
At this moment, looking from outside the crack, one could clearly see bursts of golden light coming from the wall of the abyss. This golden light continued to spread, and in an instant, the crack that had been dark for countless years was completely lit up.
This seven-stroke rune contained seven strands of Wang Lin's divine sense. This allowed him to control the rune as flexibly as his own body, and it directly entered the depths of the crack.
Ling Tianhou's divine sense showed signs of dissipating under the golden light from the rune, but it soon stopped. Ling Tianhou's divine sense let out bursts of roars and suddenly charged out. This time his divine sense unexpectedly took on Ling Tianhou's appearance!
The eyes of Ling Tianhou, who was wearing a daoist robe, revealed a domineering gaze. As he stepped forward, his figure turned into a ray of sword energy and charged at the rune.
The rune and sword energy collided, causing the entire Tide Abyss to tremble violently. The terrifying tremors caused countless cracks to collapse. This shockwave was so powerful that it caused many parts of the Water Demon Country to tremble. This shocked countless people of the Demon Spirit Land.
Wang Lin's face was pale and he coughed out six mouthfuls of blood. The blood contained a large amount of celestial spiritual energy, and when it landed on the ground, it formed deep marks.
The rune shattered and six of the seven strands of origin soul collapsed. The last strand of origin soul returned to Wang Lin's body the moment the rune shattered.
As for the sword energy formed by Ling Tianhou's divine sense, it was very dim, but its sharpness didn't diminish. However, the rune that collapsed was, after all, a celestial spell. Although it had collapsed, it turned into countless specks of golden light that surrounded the sword energy, forming a golden cage.
Although it couldn't trap the sword energy for long, it could trap it for a while!
Damage to the origin soul was a great injury to a cultivator!
Wang Lin's eyes were bloodshot and his heart was filled with killing intent. Since he had come this far, there was no way to retreat. He charged forward, jumped over the trapped divine sense, and charged into the depths of the rift!
With one step, he closed in!
On the ground in front of him, a completely purple spiritual body was suspended. This spiritual body was Zhou Yi!
Zhou Yi's eyes were closed and his face was filled with confusion. Aside from the spot between his eyebrows, his entire body was purple. This purple seemed to have a mind of its own, and it continued to move around Zhou Yi's body. There were also strands of purple on his face that tried to devour the golden light between his eyebrows.
On the ground below Zhou Yi was a three-meter wide spell formation. Strands of violet Qi rose up from it, transforming into numerous magical symbols that made the spell formation even more powerful.
As for the purple gas coming from the formation, it was demonic energy!
This demonic energy came from the ancient demon soul of the Water Demon Country!
The reason Ling Tianhou had secretly entered the Demon Spirit Land and sealed Zhou Yi here was because he had some dealings with the ancient demon soul of the Water Demon Country. Their relationship was very subtle.
Where this rift was located was a dark vein. This vein was hidden underground and directly connected to the Ancient Demon Temple in the capital of the Water Demon Country. This allowed the ancient demon soul of the Water Demon Country to constantly send out demonic energy. The demonic energy was then absorbed by the formation and turned into a seal that could refine celestials into demons to corrode Zhou Yi's spirit body.
Ling Tianhou and the ancient demon soul of the Water Demon Country had made a deal. After Ling Tianhou sealed Zhou Yi here, they reached an agreement.
The nine Demon Spirit Countries had nine Sky Demon Souls. The ancient demon of the Water Demon Country wanted to find a demon that could withstand it and enter Zhou Yi's body.
There were four treasured swords stabbed into the ground in the north, south, east, and west of the formation. Strands of lightning came from the four swords and entered the ground.
At the same time, there were fist-sized balls of light floating above three of the four swords. A powerful divine sense came from these three balls of light.
"Senior Zhou Yi …" After many years, Wang Lin finally saw Zhou Yi again. However, Zhou Yi's body was surrounded by purple gas. If the golden light between his eyebrows dissipated, then Zhou Yi would completely become Wang Lin's and would never have a moment of clarity again.
This formation to seal and refine Zhou Yi was created by Ling Tianhou himself. He called it the Celestial Demon Refining Formation. Although this formation was powerful, its focus was on the four swords on the ground!
Ling Tianhou had refined the four small worlds into four origin swords, and these four swords were the projections of the origin swords. In order to increase their power, Ling Tianhou had split off four strands of divine sense to float above them. With such a powerful spirit body, he was able to completely walk out. Although it was slow, it was very stable.
As long as the golden light between Zhou Yi's eyebrows was devoured, then the body of the ancient demon of the Demon Country would belong to him!
Ling Tianhou wasn't a prophet, but he had been chased out of the Celestial Realm by Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi had been forcefully turned into a celestial sword spirit by the white-robed female corpse, so he had powerful spells. In addition, Ling Tianhou had been injured by the female corpse's celestial finger, so they had fought several times and Ling Tianhou was in a sorry state.
From Ling Tianhou's point of view, this sword spirit wanted to die and was willing to pay any price to release the limited life sword energy of the celestial sword spirit. It has to be said that the Rain Celestial Sword was the number one treasure in the Rain Celestial Realm. Although Ling Tianhou had obtained one, he didn't dare to take it out before Zhou Yi. He knew that once he took it out, he would immediately be controlled by Zhou Yi.
Although Ling Tianhou was powerful, he was injured by the celestial finger. This finger was too powerful and was very famous. With Ling Tianhou's experience, he was almost certain that this celestial finger was not a celestial spell that a Celestial Lord could use. This celestial spell was definitely a high quality celestial spell that only a Celestial Emperor could use!
One finger was enough to injure him. Adding on the fact that Zhou Yi had used the life sword energy of the Rain Celestial Sword without any regard for his life, Ling Tianhou was in a sorry state.
However, there was no doubt about Ling Tianhou's strength, so he was only in a sorry state. Later, he lured Zhou Yi to the Demon Spirit Land and used the mysteries of this place to capture Zhou Yi. Then he used this opportunity to complete his agreement with Ji Yao of the Water Demon Country.
This was killing two birds with one stone. However, Ling Tianhou didn't expect that several hundred years later, Wang Lin would appear and change everything.
Inside the rift, Wang Lin looked at Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi's body gave off a dense death aura. His heart had already died the moment Ting Er died!
