Wang Lin chuckled. He no longer felt much hostility towards this strange person. Seeing how fast the strange person was, Wang Lin couldn't help but want to stretch his arms and legs. Without a word, he took a step forward and pushed his speed to the limit.
The distance between the two of them rapidly closed. When the strange blue-skinned person saw Wang Lin rushing towards him, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, he suddenly cackled. When he noticed that Wang Lin wasn't using the small green sword, his eyes also filled with fighting spirit. He forgot his original purpose of coming here and quickly stopped. Without any hesitation, he tore off a piece of yellow paper and a green stream of air appeared around his body. The strange person opened his mouth and the green stream of air entered his body. In that instant, the strange person's aura suddenly erupted.
His eyes revealed a dignified expression. He opened his mouth and spat out a few strange sounds, as if he was saying something to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin knew that the strange person's nine pieces of yellow paper were extremely strange. When he had been heavily injured by a spirit artifact, the strange person had instantly recovered by tearing off one of them. Ever since then, Wang Lin had developed a strong curiosity towards these yellow papers.
Now that the strange person had torn off another piece of yellow paper, his strength had doubled.
Without a word, Wang Lin waved his hands and spiritual energy flowed through his body. At this moment, Wang Lin's aura suddenly changed!
Strands of blue energy floated around him and a dense cold aura spread out. His body revealed an extreme coldness that seemed to be the ultimate of all things.
The strange blue-skinned person's eyes flashed. The corner of his mouth moved and he spat out a word that Wang Lin could understand, "Strength!"
With that, he clenched his fist and strange symbols flashed on his arm. His blood vessels bulged out and he took large strides forward, punching out!
Wang Lin's eyes flashed and cold spiritual energy surged out of his body. It turned into a giant fist that collided with the strange person. At the moment of contact, the strange person's body assumed a strange posture. He had one foot on the ground and his center of gravity was shifted to the left. His breathing was uneven and a strong wind suddenly appeared. A constantly shaking vortex appeared, blowing away all the rocks and grass around the two of them, forming a ring of empty space.
A strange flush appeared on Wang Lin's face and he involuntarily retreated three meters.
He jerked his head up and stared in the direction of the strange man.
The blue-skinned freak was even more shocked than Wang Lin. He could clearly feel Wang Lin's spiritual power entering his body through his fist, causing a strange change that terrified him. The power quickly spread from his arm to the rest of his body, and waves of extreme coldness followed.
If it weren't for the strange runes flashing several times on his body, which allowed him to barely control the cold aura, his body would have been completely frozen by now.
Looking at his right arm, it had completely turned into a blue crystal. To his horror, he found that the flesh and blood of his right arm had completely changed. Looking at his arm, his face was pale and powerless. Looking at Wang Lin deeply, he once again spat out a word that Wang Lin could understand, "Ji?"
Wang Lin didn't say anything. He didn't know what Ji meant, so he shook his head.
The strange man was startled. Then, he tore off another piece of yellow paper with his left hand. Green and white gas emerged, and when it dissipated, his right arm returned to normal. However, Wang Lin noticed that his right hand was still trembling slightly.
He looked at Wang Lin and let out a snort. After letting out a series of roars, he quickly left.
Wang Lin watched the man leave. Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground and recalled the battle just now.
The power contained in the strange man's fist was very strange. It didn't seem to be spiritual power, but another special kind of energy.
"Strength?" He thought of the word that the savage spat out before he punched!
Putting aside the strange power of the savage, Wang Lin was very satisfied with the power of his mutated spiritual power. This kind of mutated spiritual power that could change the structure of matter, Wang Lin named it the extreme Yin spiritual power!
"Ji?" This was the second word that he could understand after the savage saw his spiritual power!
"It's time to leave. Now, I just need to finish the fifth level of the Netherworld Ascension Method and leave this place!" Wang Lin murmured to himself.
"I must find the Place of Earth Yin!"
Wang Lin knew that he had to find the Place of Earth Yin. The difficulty of breaking through the aperture of the Netherworld Ascension Method increased with each level. If he relied on brute force to break through the aperture, the success rate would be too low. Only by finding a high-quality Place of Earth Yin could he increase the success rate!
Although the Yin Qi in the ruins was very strong, according to Wang Lin's analysis, the highest level here was the Place of Yellow Yin, Level Ten Deep Yin. Even if his analysis was wrong, he could at most break through the Level Ten Deep Yin and enter the Level Two Extreme Yin.
Among the four places of extreme Yin, the Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, there was not much difference between the Black and Yellow. However, the Heaven and Earth were different. The Place of Earth Yin's superior grade was equivalent to the Level One Extreme Yin of the Black and Yellow!
As for the Place of Heavenly Yin that could only be found but not sought, even the ordinary Place of Heavenly Yin had the effect of Black and Yellow!
While he was contemplating, Wang Lin suddenly raised his head and saw that the strange man had returned. After he came over, he gestured to Wang Lin for a long time. First, he pointed to the surroundings, took a deep breath, and then shook his head fiercely.
Then, he pointed to Wang Lin, and pointed to himself, and gestured.
Wang Lin gradually understood that the strange man seemed to want him to go with him. Wang Lin's heart moved, and he nodded.
The strange man's speed was very fast. He was very familiar with the surroundings as he ran, avoiding the dangerous swamp pits.
There was even a time when the strange man leaned into a long crack in the ground. After a few turns, he walked out from another exit. After coming out, Wang Lin immediately discovered that this short journey had actually crossed a huge swamp covered with shocking beast bones.
Two days later, the two came to a remote corner of the ruins. In these two days, they only stopped to rest once.
At this place, Wang Lin noticed that there was a relatively intact pagoda-shaped building not far away. At the top of the pagoda-shaped building was a huge stone bead!
Wang Lin's eyes flashed. This stone bead was almost exactly the same as the one at the edge of the ruins.
Looking at the strange man again, his footsteps didn't stop. He nimbly climbed up the pagoda-shaped building and stood next to the stone bead. His hands quickly formed a seal and pressed on the stone bead. Before long, the stone bead overflowed with light, and a straight beam of light immediately shot towards the center of the ruins.
Looking from afar, the light beam seemed to be endless.
After finishing this, the strange man jumped down and waved to Wang Lin, and the two left this place.
Time passed quickly. Wang Lin followed the strange man to the location where the stone beads were placed. Most of the places had collapsed, but the stone beads were still intact.
One after another, the stone beads were activated, and the light beams all pointed towards the center of the city.
When the last stone bead, which was the first stone bead that Wang Lin had seen before, was activated, the entire city seemed to change.
Along the way, Wang Lin silently calculated that there were a total of eight stone beads.
The strange man occasionally looked up at the sky with an anxious expression. He brought Wang Lin even faster towards the center of the ruins. The two of them didn't rest at all. Finally, on the evening of the fourth day, they arrived at the center of the city!
Eight beams of light shot over from afar and gathered here.
When the strange man arrived, he stopped and prostrated himself on the ground. His eyes revealed a pious expression, and his mouth began to chant something that sounded like a song.
As his voice became sharper and sharper, the ground trembled. A huge statue that was about a hundred feet tall slowly rose from the ground. When it was halfway up, it gradually came to a stop.
This statue depicted a long-haired man. The man's appearance was simple and unadorned, and his eyes were filled with wisdom. He held a long spear in his hand, and he looked into the distance with a disdainful attitude.
A giant dragon coiled around his body. The dragon's mouth was wide open, and its fangs were cracked. It was a ferocious expression, and the scales on its body seemed both real and illusory. It was a ghastly sight.
The eight beams of light condensed on the statue, and the statue's eyes gradually brightened. At this moment, Wang Lin even had the illusion that this long-haired man seemed to be alive!
After the statue appeared, the pious expression in the strange man's eyes became even stronger. He waved his hand at Wang Lin and pointed at the giant dragon's head, urging him to hurry.
Wang Lin pondered for a moment. Without saying anything, he jumped up and arrived at the giant dragon's head. The moment he stood there, he immediately felt a majestic Yin energy coming from beneath his feet.
Wang Lin immediately sat down cross-legged. He formed a hand seal and shot out a ball of light. As soon as the ball of light appeared, it immediately split into four. The red light was already bright to the extreme, and finally, with a bang, the ball of light dissipated. Wang Lin's heart shook. He knew that this meant that the extreme Yin energy here had reached the limit of the Yellow Yin Land — — Absolute Yin Grade 10!
In a pleasant surprise, he immediately breathed in and swallowed. The whirlpool in his body rapidly grew, but this time it didn't expand like before. Instead, it shrouded an area of a few dozen feet. From afar, a red circle of light appeared around Wang Lin, wrapping around the giant dragon's head.
Wang Lin sat there for five days!
During these five days, the strange man had been watching from below. As time passed, his expression became more and more anxious. He constantly looked at the sky, as if the statue's rise would cause some trouble. The nine pieces of yellow paper on his body moved without any wind, clearly in a state where they could be torn off at any time.
On the third day, the Qihai acupoint was finally broken through. It collapsed and reformed. In the early morning of the fifth day, the Yellow Springs Ascension Method's fifth layer was completed.
One more step and he would be able to condense his second cold core. At that time, even if it was the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Wang Lin would still dare to fight.
Even now, ordinary middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were no longer in Wang Lin's eyes.
Next, he began to try to improve the quality of his spiritual energy and fuse it with the Absolute Yin Grade 10.
As he controlled the fusion, he observed the spiritual energy. Gradually, he found that the color of the spiritual energy became darker and darker, from the previous light blue to a dark blue.
He didn't know that his spiritual energy was now even closer to the Extreme Realm!
At this time, the outside world suddenly changed. The earth immediately darkened, the clouds rolled as if someone was stirring them with their hands. Black fog appeared and gradually condensed together, forming a huge coffin that slowly descended.
An illusory figure slowly appeared on top of the coffin. Its body was quickly solidifying.
A hoarse voice came from the sky.
"You mean, master's Nascent Soul is hiding inside this statue?"
On the ground, the strange man's expression changed greatly …
