A ferocious voice echoed. As the dao thunder descended from the furnace, it released a purple flame. In an instant, the inside of the furnace became a sea of fire. As the thunder and fire intersected, the power of the Heavenly Chop became even more intense!
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. The origin energy inside his origin soul couldn't compare to the opponent's, so he couldn't display the full power of the Heavenly Chop. Just as the Huan family's ancestor said, if Wang Lin reached the second step, even if he was at the Yin and Yang stage, the power of the Heavenly Chop would increase greatly.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he put away the big sword. He looked at the Thunder Beast that was covered in thunder. Wang Lin bit the tip of his finger and used his blood to draw an extremely complex rune.
This rune was filled with an ancient feeling, as if it had existed for a very long time. The moment the rune appeared, the Thunder Beast trembled and turned its head to look at Wang Lin.
"Third seal, open!" Wang Lin waved his right hand. The rune penetrated all the thunder and landed between the Thunder Beast's eyebrows.
The Thunder Beast's body trembled violently, and an expression of pain appeared on its face. A shocking roar came from its mouth, and as its body trembled, a row of sharp spikes came out of its back. Rays of cold light continuously flashed on these ferocious spikes, and there was also a dense amount of lightning crackling around them. A vast aura suddenly rose from the giant cauldron.
This aura gave off a heaven-defying aura. It could even defy the heavens, let alone an origin energy spell!
The Thunder Beast's body instantly grew several times larger and the thunder around its body turned from silver to black!
The black thunder carried a destructive aura as it rushed out from the Thunder Beast's body. The Thunder Beast let out another roar and flew into the air. A complex beast language came from its mouth. In an instant, the Thunder Beast from the Thunder Celestial Temple trembled and came out of the furnace. It lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise its head at all. Before, it only felt that its kind was stronger than it, but its pride made it dare to fight.
But at this moment, deep fear emerged from the depths of its soul. In its eyes, those of the same species seemed to have transformed, as if they had turned into their ancestor from the distant past. They were irresistible!
Now that the Lightning Beast had its third seal undone, its entire body flashed with lightning. In an instant, the lightning reached its limit, and pitch-black bolts of lightning spread out madly from its body in a seemingly endless fashion. They turned into black thunderstorms that spread out madly with loud rumbling sounds.
At this moment, the Celestial Guard's body also shone with golden light. The golden light slowly turned red, and then orange. The power contained within its fist grew even stronger.
Boom!
The storm of Thunder raged and spread to the entire cauldron. Countless cracks appeared on the cauldron, and they continued to crack.
"BOOM!" The celestial guard's fists rained down on the cauldron, causing even more cracks to appear.
A powerful force spread out. Thunder Daoist's origin energy entered his body like crazy. He had no time to feel heartache over his origin energy. This was the most difficult battle he had fought since becoming a messenger of the Thunder Celestial Temple. It was a life or death battle!
However, the speed at which his origin energy entered his body was obviously slower than the Thunder Beast that had broken the third seal and the celestial guard that was using spells.
Just at this moment of crisis, Wang Lin's eyes became cold. This time, he didn't take out the large sword but raised his right hand. His two fingers formed a sword and he mercilessly chopped down!
"Heavenly Chop!"
Rumble rumble rumble!!
An indescribable rumble echoed across the world. The surrounding cauldron collapsed into pieces and exploded in all directions!
There was black lightning moving across each fragment. Popping sounds echoed across the world as the fragments collapsed a second time!
Wang Lin's face was pale. After using the Heavenly Chop twice in a row, the origin energy in his origin soul was severely lacking. Even his cultivation was showing signs of dropping. If he lost even a bit more origin energy, his cultivation would fall.
His body flickered and the world before him returned to normal. When he landed on the ground, Wang Lin took a deep breath. Although his face was pale, the coldness in his eyes became even stronger.
Thunder Daoist's figure appeared in the sky. He coughed out a large mouthful of blood and turned around to escape. He was afraid. He had fought countless battles in his life, but none had been as strange as today. The opponent was clearly only an Ascendant cultivator, but the spells and spells he had used made his scalp tingle. When he thought about those two rays of sword energy, his mind trembled and he hated himself for not being fast enough!
The celestial guard quickly chased after him. As for the Thunder Beast, it let out a roar and chased after the celestial guard.
"Father … Is what he said true …" Wang Ping's voice rang out softly.
In the battle just now, Thunder Daoist's spell didn't affect Wang Ping or Qing Yi. In his view, the two rays of sword energy inside Wang Ping's body were things he didn't want to provoke.
Wang Lin's face was extremely pale. He slowly turned around and looked at Wang Ping. After a long time, he nodded.
Wang Ping looked at his father and faintly smiled. This smile was very carefree and he calmly said, "Dad, this is the real reason you don't want me to cultivate. This is also the reason why Qing Yi and I still don't have any children … Because I'm already dead …"
Wang Lin's eyes were filled with sadness. He looked at Wang Ping and softly said, "You didn't die …"
Wang Ping shook his head and smiled. "Dad, you taught me before that if I meet a mountain, I can step over it. If I meet a river, I can cross it. Even if it is the heavens, I can go against it. Dad, thank you … In truth, I already had the answer in my heart a long time ago, but I didn't dare to face it, didn't dare to find out … Why can't I cultivate? Why don't I have any children? Why haven't I gotten sick in more than 70 years? Why haven't I felt tired? Also, why I clearly know that I have reached the end, but my body still doesn't feel anything … Now I understand all of this."
Wang Ping looked at Wang Lin. His smile was carefree, but there was also a hint of reluctance … "Dad, I, Wang Ping, don't have a mother. I only have a father. Thank you for your company …" Wang Ping felt like he was going to cry, but he found that he had no tears.
"So I don't even have tears …" Wang Ping bitterly looked at his father and softly said, "Dad, take care … Ping Er wasn't able to fulfill his promise and won't be able to accompany you forever …"
The sadness in Wang Lin's eyes became even stronger. Back then, when Liu Mei gave Wang Ping to him, even though he had given Wang Ping a pill and used a thunder spell to get rid of most of the resentment, he found out that Wang Ping had died a long time ago … A mortal's life is very short, and even a resentful soul is the same. The only thing that exists is a sliver of its soul. This soul is surrounded by resentment and can't enter the reincarnation cycle. This is the root of a resentful soul!
What Liu Mei gave to Wang Lin was this sliver of soul!
This sliver of soul can't cultivate and can't cultivate!
Once it cultivates, the resentment will erupt, and from then on, it will truly disappear.
It was even more impossible for Wang Ping to hide his cultivation from Wang Lin, because his body was formed by a strand of sword energy … Using one strand of Ling Tianhou's sword energy to form his body and another strand of sword energy to protect the resentful soul, this was Wang Ping.
His growth was only a spell … Wang Ping, who had lived for more than 70 years, was Wang Lin's celestial spell.
Wang Lin softly said, "Your promise will come true. Trust me."
Wang Ping looked at his father as he held Qing Yi's hand and softly said, "Dad, let Qing Yi go …"
He turned around and looked profoundly at Qing Yi. He revealed a gentle smile and softly said, "If there is a next life, if I can enter the reincarnation cycle, Qing Yi, I'll come find you …"
Qing Yi's tears flowed down. She opened her mouth to say something, but Wang Ping smiled and shook his head. He looked at the sky and softly said, "Dad, Qing Yi, I'm leaving …"
Wang Ping's eyes were filled with reluctance. He wanted to be with Qing Yi, to be by his father's side, always … always … In a trance, he seemed to have returned to his childhood. During the 19 years he spent in the mountain village, he drank medicine every day and revealed a happy smile.
"Dad, the medicine is very bitter …"
He seemed to see the scene of his father using a spell to disperse the resentment in his body every night. He saw that the medicine wasn't absorbed by his body but fused into his soul.
This was because his body couldn't absorb the medicine … He seemed to see that his body was actually a ray of golden sword energy. He seemed to see that his soul was also surrounded by a ray of golden sword energy.
"No wonder when I was a child, I always dreamed that I was in a golden world …"
Wang Ping's eyes closed … At this moment, his body shined with a golden light and turned into a ray of sword energy that hovered beside Wang Lin. Then, another ray of sword energy appeared.
On the ground, there was only a ball of white light that quietly floated. Inside it was a black thread that intertwined.
This black thread was the last bit of resentment!
Wang Lin stared at the ball of light. After a long time, he raised his right hand and gently touched it. The black thread dissipated … After experiencing the reincarnation cycle, Wang Lin had finally dispelled all the resentment he had for his child. There were rare tears in his eyes as he gently held the ball of light like he was holding the baby from the past.
The wind blew and the ball of light showed signs of dissipating, but Wang Lin didn't let go. He knew that if he let go, Wang Ping, who was no longer surrounded by resentment, would enter the reincarnation cycle.
"Ping Er, your promise will come true!"
Wang Lin held the ball of light and pressed it against his forehead. It entered the heaven defying bead and he placed it next to Li Muwan's Nascent Soul.
"From now on, your mother is Wan Er …" Wang Lin turned and walked away.
"Dad …" Qing Yi knelt on the ground. The sorrow in her eyes was no less than Wang Lin's.
Qing Yi's eyes were filled with tears as she softly said, "Dad, I have a promise with Wang Ping. Even if I have to go to the yellow springs, I will accompany him!
Take me away, even if I become a soul, as long as I can accompany Wang Ping. Dad, this is what you said to me in the past. It was you who told me to stay with Wang Ping! "
"You don't regret it?"
"I don't!"
Wang Lin left, and he also took Qing Yi's soul that didn't have any regrets.
His figure gradually changed from old to old as the sun set. His hair was no longer white and gradually turned black. His slightly hunchbacked body slowly straightened. Under the setting sun, the Wang Lin from 70 years ago gradually walked into the void … One reincarnation cycle was over … Fourth night watch, very tired, very tired, I haven't been this tired in a long time. Alas.
