Chapter 1096: Alliance Secrets, Fleeing for Life

The instant this sound echoed, deep inside the fourth of the eight Ancient God Star Points in Tuo Sen's head, the middle-aged scholar sitting cross-legged within opened his eyes. His eyes revealed ruthlessness, yet also a hint of bitterness.

"Lu Fuzi, this old man has not forgotten the agreement, but I am already powerless. You… quickly leave…"

Inside this space Rift, a weathered voice, tinged with bitterness, slowly spread out. However, as the fourth star point in Tuo Sen's glabella began to glow with crystalline light, becoming brighter and brighter, approaching the brilliance of the first three star points, this voice grew weaker and weaker until it completely disappeared.

The moment the voice vanished, the black-clothed elder's expression drastically changed, and Wang Lin was filled with shock. Based on his understanding of Ancient Gods, he vaguely formed a guess. In that instant, the vanished voice of Wujizi echoed once more.

This time, it was an enraged roar!

"Hurry and leave!!"

Inside the fourth star in Tuo Sen's glabella, it was originally pitch black, only vaguely showing its form, but the surrounding environment was blurry. Now, however, as Tuo Sen awakened, this place gradually ceased being dim and instead began to flicker with crystalline light, faintly illuminating the surroundings.

The middle-aged scholar sitting cross-legged there looked normal at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one would be startled to see that his cross-legged lower body had already merged with the ground, becoming indistinguishable and growing together.

The crystalline light illuminating this place did not suddenly appear from all directions; rather, it drifted out from the middle-aged scholar's body. Every wisp of crystalline light that separated made the scholar's complexion paler and weaker.

At this moment, crystalline light surrounded his location, illuminating everything nearby, and his body instantly withered, becoming skin and bones, looking like a skeleton.

However, he had not died… nor would he die. He could only silently pass countless years here… Yet, he was unwilling. This unwillingness transformed into struggle, twisting his features and making him forcibly circulate the cultivation within his body, lifting his head to let out a roar!

The black-clothed elder's pupils contracted, and his expression became extremely solemn. He retreated directly backward, his eyes fixed intently on the fourth star point in Tuo Sen's glabella. In that instant, he clearly felt that Wujizi's voice had come from there.

But strangely, when the black-clothed elder swept his Divine Sense across it, he found nothing.

Thinking of Wujizi's earlier words, the black-clothed elder's mind trembled, and he retreated without hesitation.

"You cannot escape." The contempt in Tuo Sen's icy eyes intensified, revealing mockery, along with an expression that viewed everyone as ants—utterly arrogant!

"You will be the fifth Ancient Star of this God, following Wujizi!" Tuo Sen's voice echoed throughout heaven and earth. He raised his right foot and stomped forward fiercely, but in that exact moment, the fourth star point in his glabella burst with crystalline light!

That crystalline light was completely different from the first three star points, vaguely seeming about to collapse, causing Tuo Sen's raised right foot to pause momentarily.

The black-clothed elder was retreating, but at this moment, he turned and grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand. Immediately, a Broken Sword appeared in his grasp! This sword was only half, but the moment it appeared, an unimaginable pressure immediately soared into the sky.

The elder bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Broken Sword, then flung it directly toward Tuo Sen.

The Broken Sword suddenly whistled, charging out directly with world-shaking killing intent and Sword Qi. Tuo Sen's body recovered after a momentary pause, and his right foot crashed down. However, the instant it made contact with the Broken Sword, he immediately roared, and a swath of bloody light appeared on his right foot.

The Broken Sword had actually pierced through Ancient God Tuo Sen's right foot, entering directly into his body. It swept through unimpeded, penetrating his right leg and heading straight for Tuo Sen's face.

The speed of this Broken Sword far surpassed that of a shattered nirvana Cultivator; even reaching the Realm of Heavenly Human Decay would not be enough to compare to the Broken Sword's current speed.

All of this happened in a flash. The Broken Sword, carrying bloody light, passed through Tuo Sen's right leg! In another flash, it approached Tuo Sen's face, heading straight for the fourth star in his glabella.

At this moment, the crystalline light inside the fourth star flickered even more intensely, seemingly indicating that Wujizi was trying to escape! But just as the Broken Sword broke through all barriers and approached within ten zhang of the fourth star, and the fourth star's crystalline light reached its Peak, the third star in Tuo Sen's glabella also shone with crystalline light, and a person actually walked out from within that light!

This person's body was like a skeleton, completely unrecognizable from its original appearance. His hair was disheveled, and his entire body was naked. In just one step, he arrived beside the Broken Sword, raised his right hand, and fiercely pinched down!

It was difficult to describe the grace of this pinch. In Wang Lin's view, the motion of this pinch was like flowing clouds and water, and it contained a certain Heavenly and Earthly rule. Even saying this was somewhat inappropriate; it was as if the Heavenly and Earthly rule changed with this person's pinching motion, changing because of him.

The Broken Sword's momentum suddenly stopped. Two fingers rested on its blade. No matter how the Broken Sword struggled, it could not escape from between those two fingers.

However, the owner of those two fingers, this skeleton-like Cultivator, also endured a massive impact. Pounding sounds echoed throughout his body, as if he were about to collapse. Brilliant light burst from his dim eyes, and a crescent moon mark materialized clearly in his empty glabella, falling into everyone's sight.

With a low roar, his two right fingers fiercely flicked the Broken Sword, instantly changing its direction, sending it flying diagonally upward!

Having done this, the skeleton-like person's chest heaved rapidly, and he returned inside the third star.

This scene made Wang Lin wear a bitter expression.

The black-clothed elder's gaze flickered. Without hesitation, he waved his right hand in the Void Realm. The Broken Sword immediately dissipated, becoming traceless, and the black-clothed elder turned to leave. His speed was so fast that he faintly tore through the space Rift and was about to depart.

"You cannot escape!" Tuo Sen's eyes lit up with a faint glow. The fifth star point in his glabella was completely dim, devoid of any light, but at this moment, Tuo Sen used some unknown Divine Ability to make it spin independently. Its rotational speed instantly reached its limit, looking like a black hole from afar.

It even detached from Tuo Sen's glabella and shot straight toward the black-clothed elder.

But the moment the star point left the glabella and rushed out, rumbling sounds came from Tuo Sen's fourth star point. The crystalline light burst open and vented out, forming a barrier that enveloped the flying fifth star point.

"Lu Fuzi, hurry and leave!! This old man was wrong! I was gravely mistaken back then, I shouldn't have coveted the Royal Ancient God Power to break through the Early Stage of void nirvana, resulting in my current fate…"

Inside the fourth star, Wujizi spat out fresh blood, his entire body trembling. Relying on his current integration with the Ancient God, he grit his teeth to stop the fifth star's devouring. He knew that if Lu Fuzi was also swallowed, he would never have a chance to escape in this lifetime!

To escape, he must risk everything to save Lu Fuzi. Only then would there be a glimmer of hope for the future!

The black-clothed elder did not pause. He took a step, and immediately, ripples echoed in front of him, forming a Vortex. Just then, Tuo Sen's eyes flashed with cold light. Ignoring the hindrance to the fifth star point in his glabella, he raised his right hand and pulled it back. He clenched his massive hand in the Void Realm, and immediately, purple electric light continuously flashed inside this space Rift, instantly transforming into a gigantic spear the length of several planets!

God-Slaying Spear!

This was the true Royal Ancient God artifact, the God-Slaying Spear!

Gripping the spear, Tuo Sen's expression was savage. He flung it forward fiercely! The God-Slaying Spear suddenly let out an earth-shattering shriek, soaring directly toward the black-clothed elder with the Ancient God's immense power!

Its speed was so fast that neither the naked eye nor Divine Sense could detect it. In an instant, the God-Slaying Spear approached with a rumbling sound, continuously shattering space Rifts along its path, forming a series of afterimages.

The black-clothed elder's expression was gloomy. Even if he could step into the Vortex and leave, he would certainly be injured by the God-Slaying Spear. If the delay lasted any longer, and the fifth star point broke free, he feared he would be left here today!

But he had no time to think. In a flash, he stepped into the Vortex, forming a Hand Seal with both hands. The Broken Sword he had used earlier immediately reappeared in front of him. He spat out fresh blood again, and with a wave, the Broken Sword shot straight toward the God-Slaying Spear.

Wang Lin silently watched this scene. He saw Tuo Sen's power with his own eyes. Although he had gained some understanding from Tu Si's memories previously, seeing it now was different from memory.

He stared at the fiercely approaching God-Slaying Spear. To others, this spear was like heavenly might, reaping all living things, but in Wang Lin's eyes, the God-Slaying Spear was merely a Magical Artifact!

The Broken Sword instantly collided with the God-Slaying Spear amidst its whistle. The size of the Broken Sword was completely incomparable to the God-Slaying Spear, but its Aura was only slightly weaker. In the collision, although the Broken Sword could not be seen at all, the God-Slaying Spear abruptly paused.

Rumbles suddenly erupted. In an instant, the Broken Sword rolled back and turned into nothingness. The God-Slaying Spear vibrated throughout its body, emitting thumping, thunderous sounds from within. After pausing, it charged out again.

He couldn't let the black-clothed elder be swallowed by Tuo Sen's star point! This was Wang Lin's only thought at the moment. As the God-Slaying Spear paused, he didn't hesitate to flash forward, deploying his speed to the limit, and arrived directly in front of the massive God-Slaying Spear.

His action caused the black-clothed elder's eyes to narrow, Yan Leizi to be startled, and the Eight Kings of the Corpse Yin Sect to look over in shock. Wang Lin closed his eyes. The moment the God-Slaying Spear approached, his Physical Body violently collapsed, dissipating into fragments of rock. However, his wisp of Primordial Spirit, just before it was about to be destroyed, formed a Hand Seal and released a streak of Divine Thought aimed only at the God-Slaying Spear.

"By the thought of I, Wang Lin, I block your path!"

The God-Slaying Spear trembled abruptly, but immediately, a tyrannical Aura spread out from it. The Divine Thought representing Tuo Sen collided directly with Wang Lin's fragile Primordial Spirit, causing it to violently collapse.

"The first Ancient God Star, I reserve it for you!" This was the last sentence Wang Lin heard before his Primordial Spirit was annihilated… Without Wang Lin's obstruction, the God-Slaying Spear whistled out, but its previous pause and tremble had given the black-clothed elder enough time to vanish inside the Vortex. Yan Leizi and the Eight Kings of the Corpse Yin Sect all rushed into the Vortex and disappeared.

The God-Slaying Spear crashed directly into the Vortex with a shriek. A world-shattering force tore into the Vortex, echoing madly. The moment Yan Leizi stepped out of the Vortex, he was immediately affected by this power. He spat out fresh blood, his body instantly withered, and both his legs burst open with pounding sounds, turning into a bloody mist. This force even rushed into his Primordial Spirit, instantly making it unstable.

Yan Leizi gave a tragic laugh, his eyes revealing malice. He had come to hate Tuo Sen, second only to Zhongxuanzi from back then! Seeing that world-shattering force ripple toward him again, Yan Leizi's eyes showed madness. He was about to abandon his Physical Body and make it self-detonate to buy time for his Primordial Spirit to escape.

The black-clothed elder appeared beside Yan Leizi, grabbed him, and vanished without a trace in a flash.

The Eight Kings of the Corpse Yin Sect barely managed to escape the Vortex, but instantly, the world-shattering force arrived. All eight bodies trembled simultaneously, their Physical Bodies violently collapsed, turning into eight streaks of cold Yin Qi. They formed phantom images and were about to flee forward, but under that world-shattering force, five of the streaks immediately collapsed.

The remaining three streaks finally pulled out Coffins, rushed inside to possess the Physical Body, and fled again. But the world-shattering force struck, immediately causing the Physical Bodies of these three people to collapse once more.

This cycle continued endlessly. A distance of less than a thousand zhang was like doomsday for the three of them. Bloody mist erupted, and one more person died.

The remaining Two Kings of the Corpse Yin Sect were nearly Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. As they fled, seeing the aftermath of the world-shattering force approach, a circle of black qi ripples suddenly materialized beside them in their despair. Two arms abruptly stretched out from within, grabbing the two of them and pulling them toward the Vortex.

"Honored Master!!" Ecstasy appeared in their eyes. They offered no resistance, allowing the arms to drag them into the Vortex. At this moment, the residual power of the God-Slaying Spear arrived and entered the Vortex. A wounded muffled groan immediately came from within, but ultimately, it clearly held on and vanished as the Vortex disappeared.

Outside Vermilion Bird Star, on Moon Star, inside a very ordinary mountain Peak, Wang Lin opened his eyes. After a moment of disorientation, he suddenly stood up, waved his right hand, stored the silver-clad female corpse into the Storage Rift, destroyed the Formation on the ground, stepped forward, and disappeared without a trace using Shrinking the Ground into an Inch.

When he reappeared, he was already in the Star Domain, extremely far from Vermilion Bird Star. But Wang Lin did not pause, continuing to speed ahead. His pale complexion was tinged with gloom. Even he, who had never felt fear, felt his mind trembling, constantly replaying Tuo Sen's words.

"The first Ancient God Star, I reserve it for you!"

"Facing Tuo Sen, even if my main body passes the Three Deficiencies and Seven Calamities, even with the trident in hand, I wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch…" A bitter expression was on Wang Lin's face. He didn't know if Tuo Sen had broken free, but he understood that he could no longer stay in the Alliance Star Domain. He had to leave quickly, forever… never to return… unless he possessed the power to fight Tuo Sen… With this bitterness, his figure disappeared once more, using Shrinking the Ground into an Inch, reappearing at the escape route he had prepared for himself: a remote, abandoned star… There, he had previously set up a Formation before going to the Four Saints Sect to meet the Azure Dragon Saint Emperor.

Finished writing. It's 1,000 characters more than usual, 7,000 today. I looked it over and I'm quite satisfied, haha. This month, Er Gen's focus will be on quality. I will do my best to make renegade immortal even better to read.

Requesting monthly votes. I don't know what happened in December, but suddenly there are a lot more people snatching monthly votes.
