Wang Lin's body was covered in thunder, and as he moved forward, crisp crackling sounds could be heard. He silently walked forward. The ground was broken, and when he stepped on it, there was a crunching sound.
The moment he stepped out of the thunder lake, the cultivators that were competing for the title all subconsciously retreated. Their gazes toward Wang Lin were filled with fear.
After a moment of silence, the surrounding cultivators began to talk. All of this was beyond their expectations. This Xu Mu had left an unforgettable impression in the minds of the surrounding cultivators!
"Battling Luo Su in the Human trial and devouring the thunder spirit in the Earth trial. This is not something an ordinary cultivator can do!
I just don't know what Xu Mu will do in the Heaven trial! "
"Master Demon Xu Mu!
He is indeed powerful. Today, I am completely convinced of the rumors from before! "
"This person is definitely not a good person and cannot be provoked. This person will definitely be ranked third among the 108 celestials!"
Even the eyes of the old monsters on the praying mats lit up. There was a hint of admiration in their gazes toward Wang Lin. Their Luo Tian Star System needed a junior like Wang Lin!
The Xiang family elder nodded. The more he looked at Wang Lin, the more he admired him. He didn't care about the loss of the Thunder Celestial Temple. He just felt that this Xu Mu fit the characteristics of his clan very well. There was a hint of killing intent around him!
The two messengers of the Thunder Celestial Temple in the sky were speechless and had long stopped beating the drum. They feared that if Xu Mu persisted, even if they broke the drum, it would be useless. At this moment, the two of them looked at each other and revealed bitter smiles. However, when they looked at Wang Lin, there was no jealousy in their eyes, only a hint of admiration.
Wang Lin turned a blind eye to all of this. After he flew out 10,000 feet, he clasped his hands at Master Flamespark and respectfully said, "Junior made a mistake. I hope Senior won't mind."
His words were similar to his senior brother Shimizu's. When the Shimizu Celestial Lord heard this, he smiled.
Master Flamespark laughed and said, "No problem. Using a mere thunder lake and a thunder spirit avatar to help a powerful junior of my Luo Tian Star System become stronger is worth it. As for destroying the thunder lake, you just need to earn some merit in the Alliance Star System to make up for it!"
As he spoke, he pointed his right hand forward. With this point, the world seemed to suddenly tremble. Endless Yuan Power crazily whistled over and gathered in front of his finger. In an instant, it turned into a rune.
This symbol was filled with powerful vitality. Wang Lin's pupils shrank. He clearly felt that there was a very weak sliver of source origin energy inside the symbol!
Although it was only a sliver, it made the power of the symbol boundless!
Master Flamespark flicked his right hand and the symbol flew out and landed on the 10,000 feet of ruins. The moment the symbol landed, it turned into origin energy and spread out. The sliver of source origin energy fused with it, and the surrounding cultivators all exclaimed. It was as if time had reversed and all the stones on the ground began to reform.
Even the shattered limestone that had already dissipated into dust appeared from nothingness at this moment. They gathered on the ground to form limestone once more.
All of this was completed in the blink of an eye. The entire ten thousand feet wide bluestone floor was as good as new, just that there was no lightning.
Wang Lin looked at all of this and seemed to understand something.
"Next is the last trial of the three trials, the heaven trial!" As Master Flamespark spoke, he turned toward the Zhan family's Li Yunzi and smiled. "Fellow Cultivator Li Yunzi, please!"
Li Yunzi raised his right hand and reached at the void. A rift appeared in the void before him and cold wind blew out. Li Yunzi's right hand reached into the rift and grabbed a scroll.
This scroll was very ancient and gave off an ancient aura.
After taking out the scroll, Li Yunzi threw it and the scroll flew forward. There was a flash of black light in the air and it slowly opened, revealing the white scroll inside.
There was only one word on the scroll!
"Battle!"
Although it was only a single word, it emitted a frightening killing intent. Anyone who saw it would immediately feel as if they were in the battlefield of Asura.
"The Zhan family's treasure, the Battle Scroll!"
"One of the top 10 treasures of the Luo Tian Star System. Only the Zhan family has the chance to see it. This time, it really broadened my horizons!"
"It is this treasure. Rumor has it that the Zhan family originally wasn't surnamed Zhan, but their ancestor accidentally obtained the Battle Scroll. After painstakingly cultivating, they changed their surname to Zhan and became the Luo Tian Battle Clan!"
Bursts of discussion echoed. Li Yunzi's eyes were calm as he said, "The heaven trial will be presided over by the Old Man." His voice was calm as he casually waved his right hand.
A gentle breeze blew by, and a few dozen of the cultivators who were fighting for titles were sent into the transfer array in the sky without any resistance. The transfer array flickered and disappeared.
These people who were sent away were the first to give up in the second stage.
At this moment, there were only 147 people left!
"The heaven trial is to comprehend for 10 breaths under the Old Man's Battle Scroll. After 10 breaths, there is no need to speak. The Old Man will know if you are qualified or not!"
Li Yunzi's words confused the surrounding cultivators. However, Li Yunzi's fame caused everyone to become silent.
Li Yunzi looked at Zhan Konglie and slowly said, "Zhan Konglie, you go first!"
"Obey the ancestor's order!"
Zhan Konglie took a deep breath and stepped forward. He stepped onto the green stone that had just formed and looked up at the motionless Battle Scroll in the air. He seemed to have fallen into a strange realm, as if he was being absorbed by the Battle Scroll.
Wang Lin stared at Zhan Konglie, and a moment later, his expression became serious. Zhan Konglie stood there, and on the eighth breath, his divine sense seemed to split in half. One of them fused with the Battle Scroll.
Just at this instant, an extremely weak source origin that was almost 100 times weaker than Master Flamespark's came out from the Battle Scroll and entered Zhan Konglie's body. However, on the tenth breath, it collapsed. It was as if Zhan Konglie's body couldn't contain this extremely weak source origin.
This change was very difficult for ordinary cultivators to notice. If it wasn't for the fact that Wang Lin had seen the third step in the heaven defying bead, he wouldn't have been able to see through it. However, at this moment, what he saw set off a huge wave in his heart!
"This Battle Scroll actually contains source origin energy!!!" Wang Lin gasped.
Li Yunzi's voice was calm as he slowly said, "Zhan Konglie, qualified!"
After he spoke, Zhan Konglie awakened from his strange state. The moment he awakened, his body was covered in sweat and his face was pale. He took a few deep breaths, and it was as if he had just fought a great battle. He retreated a few steps and respectfully clasped his hands before retreating from the square rock.
The surrounding cultivators, especially those that participated in the competition, didn't see through the mysteries inside. They all had different thoughts on why Zhan Konglie had passed so easily.
Next, more people entered the square and looked up at the Battle Scroll. However, dozens of people entered, and eight of them were sent into the transfer array by Li Yunzi with a wave of his sleeve.
As a result, the surrounding cultivators were even more shocked. They couldn't see how Li Yunzi would evaluate the third trial!
The more Wang Lin looked, the more serious his eyes became. All the cultivators that were eliminated were unable to enter the scroll with their divine senses. It was as if the scroll had its own soul, and it had its own mysterious judgment on whether or not one could be accepted.
Li Yunzi used this point to evaluate this trial.
All those that passed were like Zhan Konglie. Their divine senses were accepted by the scroll, and a weak source origin energy appeared. However, none of them could keep the source origin energy inside their body.
There was another point that Wang Lin found after observing. Most of the qualified cultivators barely managed to fuse with the Battle Scroll at the ninth and last breath.
Few were like Zhan Konglie, who fused with the scroll at the eighth breath.
Xu Ting's eyes lit up. He seemed to have seen through some clues, but he wasn't sure. After pondering a bit, he stepped into the square rock and looked at the Battle Scroll. Li Yunzi looked at Xu Ting. He had some impression of this junior, so he nodded but didn't speak.
Xu Ting's expression was serious as he looked at the Battle Scroll. His eyes revealed a strange light and a mass of black gas appeared between his eyebrows. It turned into a ball of black gas that began to rotate.
On the fifth breath, a portion of his divine sense suddenly split off and was absorbed by the Battle Scroll.
Wang Lin's pupils shrank and he thought, "The fifth breath!!
This person didn't have the opportunity I did, but he was able to enter the state of cultivation on the fifth breath. His talent is simply too shocking! "
Li Yunzi's eyes shined brightly, and at this moment, he became very serious. He stared at Xu Ting and secretly nodded. In the Zhan family, there were no more than 10 people who could enter the Battle Scroll in five breaths of time. These people had all cultivated under the Battle Scroll for a long time to reach five breaths of time.
As for entering the state of cultivation so quickly after seeing the Battle Scroll for the first time, there were only three people in the Zhan family!
"This child is extraordinary!" Li Yunzi's eyes revealed a rare hint of admiration.
Not only Li Yunzi, but the other old monsters on the praying mats all saw through this. They knew that there was a mysterious force inside the Zhan family's treasure. The faster one entered the state of cultivation, the more likely they would be able to receive the inheritance of this power.
However, very few of them knew that this power was the key to the third step that they had been bitterly searching for!
Master Flamespark's eyes revealed a strange light. He didn't look at the Battle Scroll but stared at Xu Ting and pondered. "This person has the talent …"
After 10 breaths of time, Xu Ting suddenly became sober. At this moment, Wang Lin's eyes lit up an almost undetectable amount. He saw that the sliver of source origin energy that came from the Battle Scroll in Xu Ting's body … There was actually a very small amount that remained inside Xu Ting's body.
This discovery shocked Wang Lin greatly. He was too clear on the effect of source origin energy. Perhaps Xu Ting wouldn't notice anything in a short period of time, but once he reached the peak of the second step, this sliver of source origin energy would have an unimaginable effect on him!
"This Xu Ting from planet Dong Lin has an inexplicable hostility toward me. This person can't be allowed to live!" Wang Lin's expression was neutral, but killing intent appeared in his heart!
Xu Ting had revealed killing intent toward him more than once. With Wang Lin's personality, he wouldn't allow Xu Ting to have that sliver of source origin energy.
"Xu Ting, qualified!"
Li Yunzi remembered Xu Ting's name and nodded at him. After pondering a bit, he said, "There are a total of three Battle Scrolls. Once the passage to the Alliance Star System is opened, you can come find me. The Old Man will let you see the second one!"
After he spoke, many of the surrounding cultivators felt jealousy in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces.
Xu Ting looked at Li Yunzi. Even with his domineering personality, he still respectfully clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Li Yunzi."
Even Zhan Konglie felt some jealousy in his heart. He knew that only a few dozen people in the family were qualified to see the second scroll. As for the third scroll, aside from the ancestor and the two elders, no one else had seen it.
Xu Ting nodded and respectfully retreated. He stood on the side and stared at Wang Lin with a gloomy gaze.
Wang Lin looked back and coldly looked at Xu Ting. He raised his foot and walked toward the green stone. There was a cultivator named Zhao Yidao behind Xu Ting. He was about to enter the green stone, but when he saw Wang Lin's action, he immediately retreated and revealed an awkward expression.
This person was the one that Russell pointed out during the battle between Wang Lin and Russell but was swept away by Wang Lin with a wave of his sleeve.
At this moment, he secretly cursed his bad luck and quickly retreated.
The moment Wang Lin appeared, he immediately caught the attention of the surrounding cultivators. After all, during the celestial title competition, Wang Lin's name had shaken the world. He had battled Russell in the human trial and devoured the thunder spirit in the earth trial. All of the surrounding cultivators were looking forward to seeing how Xu Mu would perform in the third trial!
This kind of anticipation was very strong. Even the ancestors of some cultivation families looked over. Not only did they remember the name Xu Mu, they also deeply remembered Wang Lin's appearance.
Aside from them, the dozen or so old monsters that were at the peak of the Luo Tian Star System also looked over with smiles.
Only Blood God let out a cold snort in his heart. After pondering for a bit, his gaze also fell on Wang Lin.
Master Flamespark secretly smiled. He had a headache because of Wang Lin. No matter what, this junior was fated with him. Adding on his relationship with Shimizu, it was not good to beat him up. He had caused great losses to the Thunder Celestial Temple in the human and earth trials. Right now, Li Yunzi was in charge of the third trial, so even if there was an accident, the one to lose wouldn't be him but Li Yunzi.
At this moment, he looked at Wang Lin with a hint of expectation.
Wang Lin stepped onto the green stone and clasped his hands at Li Yunzi. He then looked up at the Battle Scroll in the air!
