Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he retreated back into the dark cave. He sat down in the lotus position and his left hand formed a seal. Black lines flew out and turned into restrictions that landed around him.
His cultivation level wasn't high enough, so he couldn't directly help. However, as long as he had enough time, he could leave behind restrictions. He was confident that none of the people outside would be able to enter in a short period of time.
This was tantamount to opening a path of retreat for Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's gaze was different from the gaze he used to look at Shengong Hu when he first saw the third step. However, this gaze was because Wang Lin's cultivation level was higher, he had sealed the Blood Ancestor, and he had killed two Illusory Yin cultivators. His confidence in his cultivation and understanding of his own dao made this gaze seem to contain everything.
The middle-aged man sneered. When Wang Lin looked at him, not only did he not stop, he took another step. This step crossed hundreds of feet and he walked toward Wang Lin.
"What a joke. In the Thunder Celestial Realm, there is actually someone who dares to threaten a 10,000 foot forbidden area!" However, his words instantly stopped. At this moment, he saw Wang Lin's gaze.
This gaze was cold and calm, as if he was looking at a dead person.
However, in the eyes of the middle-aged man, it was very different. The moment his body stopped, it was as if everything around him had disappeared, leaving only the other person's gaze.
There was no killing intent in that gaze, only calmness. However, this calmness caused the middle-aged man's mind to tremble. The origin energy in his body cycled uncontrollably, as if this was the only way to offset the crisis brought by that gaze.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. When the other party's gaze fell on him, he almost immediately felt as if his entire body was seen through, as if he was naked.
This feeling was extremely strong. In the end, he felt like his skin had disappeared and his internal organs and origin soul were all exposed to the other person's gaze.
Apart from that, the feeling grew stronger and stronger. It was as if his Nascent Divinity had completely changed under the gaze of the other party. It was as if his Nascent Divinity was no longer a Nascent Divinity, but a mass of vital energy.
This was a feeling he had never felt since he began cultivating. It was as if everything in his body, be it his physical body or his nascent soul, had disappeared layer by layer under the gaze of the other party. In the end, he even had the illusion that he could no longer feel his own existence.
A mouthful of blood surged up from his chest, and the middle-aged man's face immediately became sickly red. He directly coughed out a large mouthful of blood, and his eyes immediately regained clarity. However, within this clarity, there was a hint of fear.
From the moment Wang Lin glanced over until the middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood, all of this had happened in a short period of a few breaths, and it was so fast that the others didn't even have the time to notice any clues.
The moment the middle-aged man coughed out blood, Wang Lin moved. He calmly took a step. When his step landed, there was no sound, but the middle-aged man's expression changed greatly and he retreated without hesitation.
He didn't know why, but when Wang Lin's step landed, he felt like Wang Lin was stepping on his origin soul. This indescribable feeling made his mind tremble.
The reason he dared to walk out before was because he thought there were four people on his side and Tang Yanfeng was there, so he wasn't afraid. However, at this moment, he felt like he was fighting alone against a powerful Corporeal Yang cultivator.
It was as if if he didn't retreat, he would without a doubt die.
Wang Lin's expression was calm. After his step landed, he raised his foot and took 10 steps toward the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's face became even more pale. He felt like every step Wang Lin took was like a thunderous rumble that almost caused his mind to collapse.
His retreat was almost out of his control, and he subconsciously continued to retreat.
He could even hear his own heart thumping faster and more violently as his opponent took a step forward. In the end, his heartbeat seemed to have merged into a single beat.
After 10 steps, Wang Lin's body stopped and his foot landed under the cold gaze of the middle-aged man. The moment his foot landed, the middle-aged man coughed out a large mouthful of blood and quickly retreated as if he had gone crazy.
He didn't even notice that he had already retreated 10,000 feet from Wang Lin's forbidden area. When Wang Lin's foot landed, the middle-aged man's heart beat reached its limit.
Thump, thump, thump, thump … His heart instantly collapsed.
At this moment, the origin energy in his body went out of control. It rampaged through his body and rushed into his origin soul, tearing it apart.
The surroundings were completely silent. Tang Yanfeng's eyes were filled with caution. Ever since he started cultivating, other than a few people, there were very few people in the same generation that could make him act this way.
At this moment, not only was he cautious, but he also felt a sense of shock in his heart. He knew that if it were him, it would be easy for him to kill the middle-aged man. However, to be able to cause someone to collapse with just a gaze and a dozen or so steps was a divine ability that caused him to gasp.
Based on his experience, he could naturally tell that the middle-aged man's death had something to do with origin energy. It was clear that Wang Lin's usage of origin energy was very clever. He used the surrounding origin energy to create a pressure that crushed the middle-aged man's heart.
The woman beside him also had a gloomy expression. One step in front of her was the 10,000 feet forbidden area, but she didn't dare to take a step forward.
It was as if this 10,000 feet forbidden area had truly become a land of death!
Wang Lin withdrew his gaze from the middle-aged man and looked at the young man who had followed the middle-aged man into the 10,000 feet forbidden area.
The young man's face immediately turned pale. His cultivation level was weaker than the middle-aged man's and he had only just reached the Illusory Yin stage. He didn't have much origin energy in his body and hadn't stabilized yet. When he saw Wang Lin's gaze, he retreated without hesitation. After retreating 10,000 feet, he quickly clasped his hands and said, "Senior, please don't blame me. I know I was wrong. From now on, I won't take even half a step into the 10,000 feet forbidden area.
If I go back on my word, I'll end up like this! "As he spoke, he raised his left hand and circulated his origin energy. His pinky finger immediately turned into a mist of blood.
Wang Lin looked at the young man before withdrawing his gaze.
The young man let out a sigh of relief and his heart beat wildly. Compared to his pinky finger, his life was more important. The excitement he felt from becoming an Illusory Yin cultivator had completely disappeared. He kept telling himself that he had to be very, very careful in the future!
Wang Lin didn't look at the other people outside the 10,000 feet. Instead, he turned around and walked into the dark hole where Li Yuan was.
Just at this moment, Tang Yanfeng suddenly said, "Fellow cultivator, please leave your name!"
"Xu Mu!" Wang Lin's voice came from the dark hole. Then, the restriction on the hole flickered and completely sealed it.
"Xu Mu … I'll remember this!" Tang Yanfeng wanted to make a move, but in the end, he held back because he wasn't confident he could win.
