Chapter 1111: Peak of the Cloud Sea, So Fast!

Wang Lin had lingered on the Barren Continent for some time. Considering the Guiyuan Sect's issues, he could not stay on the Barren Continent for too long.

Although he wasn't afraid of the Zidao Sect, if he weren't present to guard the Guiyuan Sect, with its current strength, the Sect would still be completely annihilated. In the past, Wang Lin would never have bothered with such a matter, but since he had killed members of the Zidao Sect, it meant he was involved.

Furthermore, Lü Yanfei, the intelligent female Cultivator of the Guiyuan Sect, had respectfully offered him an identity, not to mention the clue about the incomplete trace of extreme yin, which required someone from the Zidao Sect to explain.

Therefore, on this Barren Continent, Wang Lin simply acted brazenly, using the strength of his newly subdued Black Ape Beast to continuously charge into various Vicious Beast gathering places and forcibly snatch medicinal herbs.

He allowed the tide of beasts behind him to follow… It must be said that even Wang Lin hadn't expected this Black Ape to be exceptionally good at snatching medicinal herbs; in fact, it was quite skilled.

This level of skill was clearly not developed overnight but through a long period of doing such things, reaching a state of proficiency.

For days, Wang Lin didn't even need to point out any targets. This ape was extremely familiar with this Barren Continent, often leading Wang Lin. With lightning-like speed, it would quickly rush in, grab the medicinal herbs, and then run off without looking back.

After each successful snatch, the Black Ape would even let out an excited roar, as if… as if it was very satisfied with its own actions.

What made Wang Lin even more wry was that he vaguely noticed this Black Ape seemed to be quite famous among the Vicious Beasts on this Barren Continent, and it was very skilled at evading the Vicious Beasts chasing it, as if it did this often.

Those pursuing Vicious Beasts, if they had only had their herbs taken once, would certainly not chase for several days, nor would they tirelessly display madness and… hatred.

Wang Lin already had a guess, especially in some Vicious Beast lairs where medicinal herbs often grew not on mountaintops but in other places. These places, even for Wang Lin, required his Divine Sense to spread out to find; looking with his eyes, the star mist obscured them, making them hard to discover.

But this Black Ape was different; it seemed to already know these hidden places for medicinal herbs. It would approach like lightning, snatch, and run. It was as if, at some point, this Black Ape had carefully observed these places, waiting for an opportunity to snatch.

Moreover, through these continuous snatchings, the Black Ape had clearly grown fond of Wang Lin. Sometimes, when it looked at Wang Lin on its shoulder, its gaze revealed an expression as if looking at a fellow companion.

It was precisely because of these discoveries that Wang Lin recalled when he first subdued this Black Ape; he had clearly shown formidable cultivation and injured the Black Ape, yet the Black Ape still didn't submit, instead showing hatred and unwillingness. It was only at the very end, under the threat of death, that it finally submitted.

Presumably, this Black Ape, which frequently snatched medicinal herbs from other Vicious Beasts, had very complex feelings when it itself was snatched from.

“However, there are simply too many of these pursuing Vicious Beasts…” Wang Lin sat cross-legged on the Black Ape's shoulder, looking back at the sky-high dust behind him, with roars and howls constantly reaching his ears.

The Mosquito Beast had long been put into his Storage Rift; the current situation was not suitable for the Mosquito Beast to appear.

There were simply too many Vicious Beasts chasing behind, especially many Vicious Beasts that hadn't had their medicinal herbs snatched. Along the way, upon seeing the Black Ape, they also frantically joined the pursuing army, chasing after the Black Ape.

Looking from afar, the number of Vicious Beasts behind the Black Ape was boundless, only a line of dust, undulating like a tide, trying to catch up with the Black Ape.

The Black Ape ignored all of this, and in its strides, it occasionally twisted its body, skillfully dodging various Divine Abilities. Several times, it was clearly pushed to its limit, letting out continuous angry roars and howls, as if cursing.

A smile appeared on Wang Lin's face. He grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand, and immediately, a Storage Rift appeared before him. From within, he took out a yellow paper and pasted it on the Black Ape's shoulder.

In an instant, an earthy yellow storm erupted from the Black Ape's body, shooting straight into the sky. The Black Ape immediately trembled, its eyes showing ecstasy, and its speed instantly surged. With one step, it directly shook off the beast tide and landed ahead.

But it did not leave immediately; instead, it turned and roared at the beast tide behind it. Not only did it not continue to flee, but it charged towards the beast tide. With its extremely fast speed, it directly plunged into the beast tide, punching and kicking its way through, forcibly tearing open a gap, as if entering and exiting seven times, bursting out from the side.

Roars continued, and the pursuing Vicious Beasts became even more frenzied.

Seeing the Black Ape had just charged out and was about to charge back in, Wang Lin frowned. He patted the Black Ape's shoulder with his right hand, and the Black Ape immediately stopped and resumed its escape.

Time slowly passed. Perhaps because the Black Ape's speed had increased, it was like a bandit all the way, sweeping through every place it knew had medicinal herbs, taking them and leaving.

Gradually, the beast tide behind Wang Lin grew larger and larger. The earth rumbled with tremors, and the star mist in the sky billowed.

After scouring the Barren Continent in a circle, the Black Ape seemed somewhat unsatisfied. It led the countless beast tides behind it towards the center of the continent. Wang Lin calculated the time and did not stop the Black Ape's actions.

During his time on the Barren Continent, Wang Lin also gradually learned that higher-grade Vicious Beasts existed in the central part of the continent. The Black Ape rushed into the central area of the continent at an extremely fast speed. There were not many Peaks here; instead, there were valleys amidst the undulations.

Inside and outside the valleys, star mist often swirled, obscuring visibility, but waves of eerie coldness and pressure slowly emanated.

As the Black Ape charged into various valleys, Wang Lin's Divine Sense became solemn. These valleys were too quiet; no roars of Vicious Beasts came out. Especially after the Black Ape entered, it was completely empty.

It was as if all the Vicious Beasts here had disappeared.

Not only Wang Lin was puzzled, but the Black Ape also slowed down, staring ahead, unsure whether to continue forward.

Wang Lin pondered for a moment. The earth's tremors gradually came, and the pursuing Vicious Beasts behind him had already rushed into the central part of the continent, heading straight for the Black Ape.

Wang Lin looked up, his eyes flashing with brilliant light. He pointed forward with his right hand, and the Black Ape immediately took off, running forward. Under Wang Lin's Divine Thought, the Black Ape's speed was not fast, and gradually, the dense beast tide behind it grew closer, as if, led by the Black Ape, they were about to impact these valleys.

Time flew by quickly. As the Black Ape moved through the valley, the entire beast tide rushed in.

Just then, Wang Lin's pupils contracted. He suddenly stood up from his cross-legged position, staring ahead. At the same time, an eerie voice slowly came from ahead.

“The Five Poisons Sect is conducting business here, those unrelated, quickly lea—eh!!!” The eerie voice had just begun, but before it could finish speaking, it turned into an exclamation!

Clearly, it had seen the boundless, ocean-like beast tide army frantically charging behind the giant ape!

At this moment, Wang Lin's Divine Sense also discovered eight giant skeletons outside the valley a thousand zhang ahead, absorbing endless dead souls, transforming into Divine Ability attacks, swirling around the valley.

He also saw a gaunt old woman standing on one of the skull heads!

The old woman's pupils contracted. star mist swirled here, making it impossible for her to see far, and her Divine Sense could not spread too far, but the tremors from the ground gradually came. In a moment, within her Divine Sense range, she immediately discovered the continuous roar of the beast tide.

At this instant, she couldn't help but gasp, but with her level of cultivation, her mind was naturally extremely sharp. Especially after seeing the Black Ape, she immediately analyzed that this massive number of Vicious Beasts was chasing the Black Ape and the white-haired Cultivator on its shoulder.

A murderous glint flashed in her eyes. She naturally wouldn't believe this was a coincidence, but rather thought that it was either someone rescuing from the Huaqing Sect or Cultivators from other sixth-rank Sects arriving early.

“They're here so fast!” The old woman took a step forward, transforming into a blur that shot towards the Black Ape. As she moved, a poisonous mist permeated the surroundings.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he immediately realized that he had probably stumbled into a conflict. Clearly, the eight skeletons formed a Formation, intended to trap and kill people or beasts within the valley.

But there was no time to explain. The old woman's speed was too fast, and a poisonous wind howled, carrying murderous intent. Wang Lin leaped up, directly flying off the Black Ape's shoulder, and gave a command to the Black Ape with his mind.

The Black Ape silently changed direction, circling around and heading straight for the eight skeletons in the valley.

At the same time, Wang Lin formed a hand seal with his right hand and pointed forward. Suddenly, black wind howled out, transforming into several Black Dragons roaring and stirring up a fierce wind, heading straight for the approaching old woman.

The old woman's cultivation was the same as Song Wude's, both at the Pure Nirvana Middle Stage, but her poison attack made her Divine Ability astonishing. With the same cultivation, she far surpassed Song Wude. Seeing the black wind approach, she immediately formed hand seals and spat out three breaths of Qi!

The first breath transformed into a crimson mist, spreading wildly in all directions. When it met the black wind dragons, thunderous roars shook the heavens and earth.

The second breath formed a black water, spraying out like rain, piercing through the red mist and heading straight for Wang Lin. Each drop of black water contained a rare and potent poison; one drop on the Physical Body could instantly cause the Physical Body to rot into blood.

The third breath, on the other hand, shimmered with seven-colored light, and in an instant, it transformed into a massive hundred zhang tall statue!

“Please, Poison King, appear! Poison Spirit Seal!” The old woman's expression was sinister. As soon as she attacked, it was a Peak Divine Ability. The Poison King statue's eyes glowed with an eerie light, which shot out like a solid substance, crisscrossing in front of the statue, suddenly condensing into a black imprint!

As soon as this imprint appeared, it immediately pressed towards Wang Lin. If it were to brand him, not only would his Physical Body turn to blood, but even his Primordial Spirit would instantly die from poison!

The old woman was extremely vicious. To kill this white-haired youth before her and monopolize the Jade Slip and Nirvana Void Pill Formula, she used her strongest Divine Ability. Still worried that Wang Lin might evade it, she flicked her sleeve, and a small, finger-thick snake shot out like lightning. This snake was her natal Spirit Beast, pitch black in color, but its head had small, comb-like horns. As soon as it appeared, a foul, fishy smell immediately permeated the air.
