Wang Lin grabbed Li Yuan and pulled him back. His eyes were like lightning as he stared at the red light in front of him.
The severed arm within the red glow was completely red, and its five fingers were withered and withered. However, just looking at it would cause a chill to rise up from the bottom of one's heart. That was especially true of the sharp fingernails, which seemed capable of ripping apart the air as they shot out.
When Wang Lin's gaze fell on the arm, it seemed to have a mind of its own. It sensed Wang Lin and changed direction to charge at Wang Lin. When it was still a distance away, it slashed through the air. Immediately, a loud rumbling sound echoed out as five long cracks appeared in the air and shot toward Wang Lin.
It was as if five cracks had suddenly appeared on a piece of white paper, and its target was Wang Lin. It was as if if it touched Wang Lin's body and origin soul, they would be torn to shreds just like the piece of paper.
Wang Lin's pupils shrank and he immediately retreated. His right hand formed a seal and his origin soul began to move. A bolt of purple lightning shot out toward the arm.
The arm didn't even try to dodge. It grabbed the purple lightning and crushed it. The purple lightning, which contained Wang Lin's origin energy, collapsed and was absorbed by the arm.
This scene caused Wang Lin to frown. He let out a cold snort and spat out a grain of sand. The sand turned into a fragment stamp, and with a point of Wang Lin's finger, the fragment stamp smashed toward the arm that was charging at Wang Lin.
The fragment seal landed with a bang. However, the moment it landed, the arm suddenly flashed with a bright red light. The light flashed and caused the fragment seal to miss.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy and he retreated once more. At this moment, the arm closed in and reached out. Five cracks appeared before Wang Lin, wanting to tear his body apart.
The smell of blood coming from the severed arm seemed to contain a powerful poison. Wang Lin immediately felt his body being corroded by the smell and felt a burning sensation.
He retreated once more and his heart was filled with shock. The sudden appearance of the arm was too strange. This was the most dangerous battle Wang Lin had fought since he reached the Corporeal Yang Realm.
The five cracks created a cold wind that caused Wang Lin's origin soul to freeze. Seeing the five cracks closing in, Wang Lin's third eye opened angrily without any hesitation.
There was a flash of red light that formed a fan and surrounded the five cracks. In Wang Lin's eyes, the cracks seemed to return to their origin and quickly dissipated. In the end, they turned into five drops of dark red blood.
In an instant, Wang Lin's right hand pointed forward and he shouted, "Stop!"
At the same time, the beast bone tattoo on the back of his right hand moved and appeared as if it was surrounding Wang Lin's right hand. The black holes in the beast bone's eyes released a ghostly light. Killing intent immediately gathered and descended upon the world.
This killing intent was monstrous. The beast bone's eyes lit up and the five drops of blood turned grey. It was as if there was a grey mist surrounding them. It gave off a different kind of beauty.
In an instant, three of the five drops of blood turned to stone and the other two quickly retreated back into the arm. The arm paused for a moment before changing directions. It no longer attacked Wang Lin and quickly left.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy as he looked at the three drops of blood that had turned to stone. He grabbed them and put them away in his bag of holding. Then he slapped his bag of holding and the celestial sword appeared in his hand. There was a flash of coldness in his eyes as he quickly chased after the arm.
This arm was too strange. The moment Wang Lin saw the arm, he couldn't help but think of the eyeball in the five-colored vortex. From Wang Lin's point of view, they seemed to have the same origin!
"This arm is very strong, equal to a peak Corporeal Yang cultivator and infinitely close to a Nirvana Scryer cultivator!" There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes. As he chased after the arm, he mercilessly chopped down with the celestial sword in his right hand!
The Heavenly Chop instantly created a sword shadow. When it chopped down, it was as if it had cut open the laws of the world. The void trembled and a long crack appeared. The two sides of the crack split open and charged at the arm.
The severed arm suddenly stopped, formed a seal, and pressed back. Popping sounds came from the void. Everything within 1,000 feet of the severed arm collapsed as if it had been hit by a powerful force.
There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes and the fragment stamp flew out once more. This time it was too fast and smashed into the arm.
The arm immediately trembled and gave off a bright red light as if it was injured. It escaped even faster.
Just at this moment, there was a team of seven or eight people from a cultivation family. Their faces were filled with shock. Their cultivation levels weren't high; they were around the mid or late stage of Ascendant. They quickly flew over as if there was a powerful enemy chasing them.
The severed arm immediately turned around and charged toward the cultivator family. It was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it closed in. Miserable screams rang out as the severed arm tore through the cultivator's body and grabbed their origin souls. After crushing them, it immediately absorbed their origin energy.
After several breaths of time, all the members of the cultivation family were dead. Their origin souls were absorbed by the arm and the red light from the arm became even stronger.
Not only did the injury on the arm recover, but it also improved.
When Wang Lin saw this, his expression became even more gloomy. His eyes lit up and he saw another ray of red light closing in from the distance. There was a broken leg inside the red light.
Without hesitation, Wang Lin turned around and left. The arm seemed to hesitate for a moment and didn't chase. It flew off into the distance with the broken leg and disappeared into the void.
Even after it left, there was still a thick smell of blood that lingered for a long time.
The entire Thunder Celestial Realm was in chaos. The eight broken limbs that suddenly appeared were all at the peak of the Corporeal Yang stage. No spells or spells would have any effect on them and would instead be crushed to extract their origin energy.
Only magical treasures could be of some use, but they were not very useful.
In addition, the blood-red light was filled with scorching toxins, causing the severed limbs to go on a rampage.
They didn't stop and moved very fast. Not long after, eight rays of red light arrived at the center of the Thunder Celestial Realm and fused together. Then a roar that seemed to come from ancient times echoed across the Celestial Realm.
The severed limbs fused together, forming a complete body. This person had a head of white hair, and his face was filled with hideous scars. His entire body was damaged, and he was missing his right eye. Only his left eye remained, and it gave off a dense, cold light.
"Celestial Lord Shimizu, no matter how strong your seal is, it can't offset the passage of time. You wouldn't dare to kill me, or else why would you place a healing formation around the seal vortex!?
"However, I have to thank you. If it wasn't for the seal vortex, I fear I wouldn't have survived the collapse of the Celestial Realm!
"Shimizu, since I didn't die, you naturally won't die either. Unless you find another seal left by the Ancient Celestial Realm, I want to see how you can seal me again!" The white-haired man's expression was ferocious as he laughed wildly and charged into the void.
He was too fast and had a great understanding of the Thunder Celestial Realm. As he moved through the void, he arrived on a fragment. This fragment was the location of the passage that Wang Lin and Li Yuan saw when they opened the seal.
The man waved his hand, causing the entire fragment to collapse. This was the location of the ninth seal.
As the fragment collapsed, a monstrous, fierce aura rushed out. There was a flash of red light and an eyeball flew out. This person grabbed it and placed it inside the hole in his right eye.
"The Ji Realm was sealed in my right eye and I consumed too much during the Celestial Realm war. It is too difficult to replenish it, but it is not impossible!
"However, I have just escaped and only have 10% of my cultivation left. I need to recover my celestial origin as soon as possible." There was a flash of red in this person's eyes and he revealed a grim sneer.
"After so many years, a lot of juniors have appeared. Very good, I'll devour them all. Although I won't be able to fully recover my cultivation, I'll be able to recover a bit. However, before I devour them, I need to close the gate to the Celestial Realm so they can't escape!" The person grinned as his body flickered and disappeared into the void.
Wang Lin took Li Yuan and the two of them moved at full speed toward the gate to the Far West Celestial Realm. The two of them were silent along the way and didn't speak to each other. Wang Lin's expression was extremely gloomy. He had a premonition that the Thunder Celestial Realm was going to be in chaos!
"We must leave this place as soon as possible!" Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he took Li Yuan with him as they moved even faster.
Along the way, the two of them saw many cultivators. All of them had the same goal, the gate to the Celestial Realm!
It was obvious that many of them had the same idea as Wang Lin and were ready to leave this place!
In the void, rays of light shot toward the west like meteors. No one had time to talk to each other; they were all moving at full speed.
They gradually got closer and closer to the gate to the Celestial Realm. In the distance, they could vaguely see the giant bolt of red lightning descending from the sky.
At this moment, the surrounding cultivators all began to teleport. They wanted to leave even faster.
However, just at this moment, a red mist rushed in like crazy from the distance and a hoarse voice echoed across the world.
"No one can leave!"
A person walked out from the red fog. He had a head full of white hair and was as thin as a skeleton. His eyes were bloodshot, and as he stepped out, he reached out with his right hand. Immediately, an unimaginably large amount of celestial spiritual energy raged in the air.
The Ascendant cultivators in front of him were filled with terror. Their bodies immediately collapsed into pieces of flesh and blood that were sucked into this person's mouth. Even the origin souls of these cultivators couldn't escape and were all devoured by this person.
"Why do the cultivators nowadays have so little origin energy? After converting it into celestial origin energy, there's not much left!" The white-haired person frowned as he charged toward the gate to the Celestial Realm.
