A powerful suction force came from outside the crack and pulled at Wang Lin's body. The crack was like the mouth of a beast that wanted to devour Wang Lin.
The suction force was very strong, causing Wang Lin's clothes to stick to his back as he was pulled toward the crack. Even his hair was pulled toward the crack. One could see uneven bumps on Wang Lin's skin. It was obvious that this was caused by the suction force when his flesh and blood were moving.
Wang Lin had been sitting here for seven days. During these seven days, he gradually adapted to this level of suction force. On this day, he opened his eyes and took another step.
With this step, he was within ten feet of the crack.
The powerful suction force instantly enveloped him. Wang Lin's body even began to tilt, as if there was a pair of invisible hands dragging him.
Wang Lin's face was gloomy as he slowly sat down. He adjusted his internal energy to resist the suction force.
The blood flow in his body had almost stopped. If it wasn't for the celestial spiritual energy, his body would have been injured in many places.
"Still not enough!" Wang Lin pondered a bit. The celestial spiritual energy in his body loosened and he was immediately sucked into the crack.
The moment his body arrived at the edge of the crack, Wang Lin suddenly slapped his bag of holding. The seven-star sword formation immediately flew out and fell down like arrows. With a series of popping sounds, the swords stabbed deep into the ground around Wang Lin.
Bolts of lightning crisscrossed the seven swords and locked Wang Lin to the ground.
The bursts of lightning became denser and denser until they formed a curtain of lightning that wrapped around Wang Lin.
Wang Lin slowly sat down inside the T-star sword formation. His current position was already at the edge of the crack. Dense cold air filled the air and the whistling sound echoed.
The soul in Wang Lin's body gradually showed signs of being sucked out by the suction force. However, the membrane that had troubled Wang Lin for so long appeared once again, trapping the soul in his body and preventing it from leaving.
Apart from his origin soul, the slaughter will in Wang Lin's divine sense seemed to become corporeal, and it was gradually being sucked out. This slaughter will came from the slaughter heart, and it turned into a red line that appeared under Wang Lin's skin.
After a long time, Wang Lin's eyes flickered and he moved another three feet forward. Even the swords around him moved with him.
The suction force increased again, and on Wang Lin's skin, another red line gradually appeared.
The powerful suction force landed on the seven swords around Wang Lin's body, causing them to let out bursts of sword hums. The sword souls roared out and fused with each other. It was as if they didn't have a physical form, and they constantly changed their appearance to resist the suction force.
In addition, the lightning on the seven swords crackled. The suction force became even tighter, and the seven swords seemed to fuse with the ground as they moved forward.
As Wang Lin moved forward, more and more red lines appeared on his skin. They were so dense that it seemed like Wang Lin's entire body had turned red.
There were too many red lines. If you counted them one by one, you would find that there were millions of them!
It was exactly the same number of life seals as the Slaughter Qi!
As the red lines flickered on his skin, Wang Lin remained calm. He took a deep breath. At this moment, he had already reached the edge of the crack, but he still couldn't force the slaughter will out of his body. He could only make it appear.
Looking at the dark world outside the crack, Wang Lin's eyes flashed. As the light flashed, he saw that there was a stone platform 200 feet below him, as well as an ancient transfer array on it.
After silently calculating for a while, Wang Lin's body jumped out of the crack. His body moved like lightning as he charged toward the large stone 200 feet away.
The T-star sword formation followed closely behind him. The moment Wang Lin's body stepped out of the crack, a powerful suction force came from the bottom of the pit.
This place was countless times stronger than the inside of the crack. In an instant, some of the red lines were sucked out of Wang Lin's skin. The moment these red lines left Wang Lin's body, they immediately twisted as if they were struggling. However, they immediately turned into red gas and disappeared under the suction force.
At the same time, the T-star sword formation quickly rotated around Wang Lin's body. The rotation speed was extremely fast, forming a powerful vortex. A force suddenly appeared within the vortex, and as the sword formation rotated, it became larger and larger.
Wang Lin was inside the sword formation and took a step toward the large stone. At this moment, he was completely focused and didn't dare to be careless. If he wasn't careful, he would be sucked into the pit.
The cold aura around him was extremely strong, and the suction force was extremely strong. It was as if there were countless large hands slapping down from above, and there were also large hands grabbing his body from below, trying to pull him down. The whistling sound in his ears was the angry roar of the owner of the large hands.
The speed of the T-star sword formation had reached a certain limit, but the force created by its rotation was still unable to resist the suction force. Wang Lin's body and the vortex of the sword formation were immediately sucked down.
At this moment, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and a black shadow appeared under his feet. This black shadow seemed to be closely connected to Wang Lin's body. After it appeared, it suddenly turned and a strange whisper and hand seal came from the black shadow's mouth and hands.
In an instant, the black shadow turned into a black tornado. The powerful impact caused the suction force to pause for a moment. The black tornado wrapped around the sword formation and carried Wang Lin toward the protruding boulder.
The moment he stepped onto the stone, Wang Lin let out a deep breath. The sword formation combined with the celestial guard puppet's spell could resist the suction force for a short period of time, but it couldn't last for long.
Standing on the stone platform, Wang Lin sat down cross-legged. He didn't have time to study the formation, but to quickly force out the red lines around him.
His eyes lit up and he waved his right hand. The tornado formed by the puppet was sucked into the shadow behind Wang Lin and disappeared.
The moment the tornado disappeared, the seven swords rapidly rotated around Wang Lin's body. Without the tornado, Wang Lin once again felt the powerful suction force. Under this suction force, he clenched his teeth and the veins on his face bulged out.
More than half of the red lines on his skin were sucked out. They seemed to have intelligence and began to struggle, but in the end, they couldn't resist the suction force and escaped from Wang Lin's body. With a few popping sounds, they turned into red gas and dissipated.
Around Wang Lin's body, there seemed to be countless red hairs growing out of him. Most of the red hairs were sucked out of his body and kept twisting. This scene was extremely strange.
As the red hairs were sucked out and dissipated, the red mist around Wang Lin's body never stopped appearing. Every time a red mist was sucked out, a new one would immediately appear.
This cycle repeated for an unknown amount of time. Wang Lin's skin was no longer completely red, and some of his skin color was revealed.
Wang Lin took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes. The shadow behind him immediately appeared and turned into a tornado. Wang Lin took a step and charged toward the crack.
After stepping into the crack with difficulty, Wang Lin arrived at a place where there was no suction force. It was as if he had fought against a late stage Ascendant cultivator for 10 days and 10 nights; he was completely weakened.
In the past few days, while resisting the suction force, Wang Lin had to use his cultivation to resist the suction force, control the Seven Star Sword Formation, force out the red lines, and constantly use celestial spiritual energy to reinforce his body to prevent himself from being sucked out of the platform.
All of this added together made Wang Lin extremely tired. He knew that if he continued and made the slightest mistake, he would be beyond redemption. He decided to take a break and come back to adjust his body. After he was done, he could go again.
After adjusting a bit, Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He controlled the Seven Star Sword Formation and walked out of the crack once more.
This continued for several months. On this day, on the fourth year since Wang Lin had been trapped in this danger zone, he sat in the lotus position on the large stone in the pit. A red line trembled under the suction force on his right hand. It let out an unwilling cry as it left his fingertip and dissipated into red mist.
This was the last red line in his body. The moment it was forced out, Wang Lin opened his eyes. He looked tired, but there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
"Celestial Slaughter Art!!"
He pondered for a long time and the coldness in his eyes gradually disappeared. Wang Lin lowered his head and his gaze fell on the transfer array below him.
After looking at it for a moment, Wang Lin closed his eyes and ignored it. He sat there quietly, feeling the gravitational force around him.
He had to become one with the gravitational force. Only then could he truly feel the subtle changes. If he wanted to learn how to do it, he had to let go of his mind and not fight against the gravitational force. He had to become completely transparent, allowing the gravitational force to pass through his body.
Day after day, year after year …. Wang Lin sat there for three years!
The Seven Star Sword Formation was no longer spinning. Instead, it stabbed into the ground and spread out in all directions.
Wang Lin seemed to have become one with the stone. At first, the gravitational force caused his body to tremble. But gradually, Wang Lin seemed to become invisible. The gravitational force entered his body and passed through it.
Time passed. Soon, three years had gone by.
The gravitational force passed through Wang Lin's body and didn't stop at all. It passed through him and surged upward.
Even his clothes and hair didn't move at all. They weren't being pulled away by the gravitational force like three years ago.
It wasn't just Wang Lin's body that didn't move. His mind was as still as an ancient well. During these six years, as the gravitational force passed through every part of Wang Lin's body, he gradually sank into a strange state.
He felt like he had completely disappeared. It was because he had disappeared that the gravitational force didn't have any effect on him.
However, the gravitational force still couldn't pass through his Primordial Spirit. Because of this, Wang Lin had a feeling that this strange state wasn't complete.
He could make the gravitational force pass through his body and fuse his body with the gravitational force. However, he couldn't make his Primordial Spirit and his body truly become one with the gravitational force.
However, Wang Lin wasn't in a hurry. He calmly felt the gravitational force. In this strange state, he slowly spread out his Primordial Spirit.
In the blink of an eye, another five years passed. Wang Lin had been in this deep pit for fifteen years … Even sitting on the big stone was eleven years.
His Primordial Spirit still couldn't completely spread out and fuse with the gravitational force.
On the seventeenth year of Wang Lin's stay, he opened his eyes.
There was an ancient look in his eyes as he calmly looked forward.
"When my mind fuses with the gravitational force … there shouldn't be any feeling of rejection. If I want to understand the gravitational force and truly fuse with it, I have to become a part of it … If I am the gravitational force, then naturally, I have to fuse with it …"
Wang Lin was silent. He had thought of this many years ago. It was easy to say, but it was very difficult to do.
How could he become a part of the gravitational force and become a part of it? He had no idea.
After hearing the whistling sound for seventeen years, Wang Lin was already used to its existence. The whistling sound was the sound of the gravitational force. Wang Lin took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"Go down …" The woman's voice echoed in his Primordial Spirit once again.
Wang Lin's eyes snapped open, and lightning shot out from them. He lowered his head and looked down at the darkness below. The light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter until it reached its peak. When the light dissipated, Wang Lin slowly stood up. Shi San hadn't moved his body for many years and took a step forward!
He didn't use any divine abilities with this step. He was like a mortal. It was like he was stepping down from a cliff into the void. His body immediately fell toward the pit below, and in the blink of an eye, he was swallowed by the darkness.
Wang Lin's body rapidly fell. During this process, he closed his eyes and the gravitational force crazily entered his body. It turned into a giant hand that grabbed him and pulled him down.
As he fell, the cold aura became even stronger. Even a layer of ice appeared on the cliff beside him.
Wang Lin ignored all of this. His mind was completely immersed in that strange state. The only thought in his mind was to turn himself into the gravitational force.
Fuse with the gravitational force … turn it into a gravitational force … turn it into a gravitational force … Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit suddenly exploded with countless thunderous booms. The gravitational force passed through his body and entered his Primordial Spirit like crazy.
At this moment, Wang Lin opened his eyes. Although his body was still sinking, there was a faint smile on his face. He took a deep breath and his body unexpectedly stopped falling.
The gravitational force flowed through his body without any obstruction. His Primordial Spirit, his body, everything about him had fused with the gravitational force. He had become a part of the gravitational force!
He lowered his head and looked down. There was no bottom in the depths, only an endless abyss. It was like the endless Yellow Springs that could devour everything into a mysterious world.
"It is time to leave … The third form of my Dao … is the power of the Yellow Springs …" Wang Lin raised his head and slowly floated up.
"Go down … I beg you … go down …" For the first time, the woman's voice contained emotion.
