Chapter 1112: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Inside the Valley

However, this old woman had clearly underestimated Wang Lin's Summon Wind Divine Ability, especially since Wang Lin's cultivation had reached the Nirvana Cleanse stage. The power of Bai Fan's six Divine Abilities was gradually being revealed, unlike when he was at the Nirvana Scrutiny stage. More importantly, the fortuitous encounter bestowed by Qing Lin allowed Wang Lin to have a deeper understanding of Bai Fan's Divine Abilities.

The five black dragons formed from black wind that had materialized collided with the crimson mist created by the Poisonous Hag's first breath. Amidst the echoing booms, the crimson mist churned and surged. Within it, the five black dragons roared, tearing through the crimson mist at an incredible speed, flashing out like lightning, and instantly coalescing together.

These five black dragons merged rapidly, and in an instant, an overbearing pressure permeated the surroundings, suddenly transforming into a black Long Spear!

This Long Spear was not substantial and was faintly transparent, but the sharpness radiating from it was enough to shake the heavens and earth.

This spear shot out, ignoring the black rain and that poisonous spirit mark, and headed straight for the old woman!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, unbelievably fast. Almost the moment the old woman blew out her third breath and flicked her large sleeve, causing the small snake with a cockscomb horn to appear, the black Long Spear was already less than ten zhang away from her!

An intensely cold wind suddenly caused the old woman's expression to change drastically. Indentations appeared on her wrinkled skin, and her pupils contracted. Her figure retreated rapidly, and for a moment, she was unable to continue controlling her Divine Ability to attack Wang Lin. As she retreated, she formed Hand Seals, and black scales immediately materialized all over her wrinkled skin. At this moment, she looked not like a Cultivator, but like a humanoid Vicious Beast.

On Wang Lin's side, a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes. While in mid-air, the first thing to approach his body was the mark formed by the substantial gaze of the phantom statue. This mark carried a strange whistling sound and approached Wang Lin's chest at an unimaginable speed.

It was already too late to retreat, and Wang Lin had no intention of retreating anyway. Although the Poisonous Hag's cultivation was slightly higher than Wang Lin's and her Divine Ability far surpassed Song Wude's, and her attacks were incredibly vicious, Wang Lin had killed more than a few Middle Stage Nirvana Cleanse Cultivators!

When meeting on a narrow path, the brave one wins! The moment that poisonous mark approached, Wang Lin raised his right hand, formed a palm, and extended it forward, suddenly stopping less than seven inches away from the mark!

At that very instant, Wang Lin raised his left hand, formed a finger, and immediately tapped the back of his right palm. He tapped twice in rapid succession. Each time it landed, a booming sound echoed. The heaven and earth origin energy within a hundred and a thousand zhang was crazily manipulated in a rather overbearing manner, merging into Wang Lin's fingertip and entering his right palm.

All of this sounds slow, but in reality, it happened in an instant. The moment the poisonous mark touched Wang Lin's palm, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar that caused the entire Barren Continent to tremble exploded from Wang Lin's palm. At the same time, a shockwave swept out in all directions.

Under the force of that shockwave, the black rain formed by the Poisonous Hag's second breath could not continue to descend. It was scattered far away by the shockwave, failing to cause any poisonous harm to Wang Lin.

This loud noise surpassed thunder and created countless echoes, rumbling across the wilderness. Under this loud noise, even Wang Lin felt his ears were about to go deaf, and his body could not help but retreat several steps.

The poisonous mark trembled, and countless fine cracks appeared on it with a cracking sound. With a bang, it shattered. Furthermore, under the overbearing heaven and earth origin energy emanating from Wang Lin's hand, it was forced backward, and along with this energy, it directly struck the chest of the phantom statue.

Suddenly, a black palm print appeared on the statue's chest, and two cracks spread from within the palm print, extending across the entire statue in the blink of an eye. The statue fell apart!

The moment Wang Lin retreated several steps, the small snake with a cockscomb horn forcibly broke through the shockwave and headed straight for Wang Lin, hissing loudly as it moved forward, spraying out a breath of highly toxic gas.

Wang Lin's expression was grim. As he retreated, he grabbed the air with his right hand, and a Storage Rift immediately appeared. A silver light flashed from within, and the Silver-Robed Woman emerged. Without needing Wang Lin's command, the Silver-Robed Woman immediately charged toward the small snake.

Wang Lin's figure flashed, leaping over the struggle between the Silver-Robed Woman and the small snake, and charged straight at the Poisonous Hag.

The Poisonous Hag's expression changed drastically at this moment. She retreated continuously, trying to dodge the pursuit of the black Long Spear, but the Long Spear was like a maggot in the bone, its speed increasing, and it even faintly emitted the sound of tearing through the space here.

Seeing Wang Lin emerge from her killing blow, the Poisonous Hag's expression became even gloomier. She bit the tip of her tongue, blood in her mouth, and was about to spray it out to prepare to unleash another poisonous attack. But at that very instant, Wang Lin, while advancing, had killing intent in his eyes and raised his right hand, pointing forward.

"Fix!"

Suddenly, countless invisible threads materialized between the heaven and earth, immediately wrapping around the Poisonous Hag. With the single word "Fix," the Poisonous Hag's body began to tremble violently.

Green smoke emerged from her mouth, and soon she was screaming incessantly. It was because that mouthful of poisonous blood had not been sprayed out but had flowed down her throat into her abdomen. This blood contained highly toxic poison. If it were normal times, it would not backfire on her, but at the very moment she was about to unleash it, her Divine Ability was interrupted, and with the Body Fixing Art on her, the poisonous blood backfired, causing large areas of her body to fester amidst her screams.

Just then, the black Long Spear arrived with a boom, piercing through the Poisonous Hag's chest, but it did not leave her body; instead, it exploded with a bang!

The Poisonous Hag's screams stopped abruptly. Her Physical Body collapsed, turning into a pool of blood. Her Primordial Spirit, weak and filled with panic, was about to flee, but it was as if Wang Lin had flicked his large sleeve, and it was taken away directly.

Although this battle was short, the danger within it left Wang Lin with lingering fear. With the Poisonous Hag's poisonous attack Divine Ability, she was capable of rampaging among those of the same rank. Even if one's cultivation was higher than hers, if one were caught off guard and poisoned, one would likely meet a tragic end.

Killing was like a daily meal for Wang Lin, but today's slaughter was inexplicable. He did not even know the old woman's name. If it were not for her aggressive pestering and the fact that she intended to kill him the moment she attacked, Wang Lin would not have killed anyone without reason.

The small snake that was struggling with the Silver-Robed Woman began to tremble the moment the old woman's Primordial Spirit was captured. Its fierce flames were gone, it grew weaker and weaker, and was finally captured by the Silver-Robed Woman!

At this moment, the Black Ape had already bypassed the battlefield and swept over the valley sealed by the eight skulls. The massive herd of beasts chasing behind it arrived with roars, charging directly into the valley.

There were too many of these Vicious Beasts, and because the eight skulls no longer had the old woman's Divine Sense to control them, they immediately became unstable, and the lightning connecting them collapsed inch by inch.

Wang Lin glanced at the Black Ape in the distance. The Black Ape understood and immediately turned to continue running into the distance. The ground shook with booms, and the Vicious Beasts trampled through the valley, continuing their pursuit.

There were some Vicious Beasts that wanted to charge at Wang Lin, but with a flick of Wang Lin's large sleeve, they died one by one.

Before long, there was not a single Vicious Beast left in this place; they had all gone to chase the Black Ape. In the distance, one could still see the billowing dust merging into the mist ahead.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed as he stared at the eight skulls that were becoming increasingly unstable and seemed to be on the verge of collapsing and exploding. After observing them carefully for a few moments, he stepped forward, arrived beside one of the skulls, and formed Hand Seals with his right hand, slapping it upward.

The skull trembled immediately, the eerie light on it gradually dissipated, and it shrank, turning into a fist-sized gray skull, floating in mid-air without moving.

He followed the same method and sealed the remaining seven skulls. This was clearly a set of Magical Artifacts used for a Formation. Wang Lin did not take them away immediately but chose to Seal them. After all, he did not know what was in this valley, and his Divine Sense could not penetrate the gloomy mist.

He walked into the valley cautiously. With just a thought, he could make the Seals on the eight skulls dissipate, restoring the previous situation of encirclement.

The valley was not large. After entering, the first thing Wang Lin saw was a skeleton. The skeleton was festering all over, and it could only be identified as a male corpse. A foul stench emanated from the body, which was very unpleasant.

Frowning, Wang Lin walked forward and soon arrived at the center of the valley. He slowly spread his Divine Sense and immediately saw a figure sitting cross-legged a hundred zhang ahead, along with four corpses that had died from the poison surrounding it.

"Many thanks to Your Excellency for saving my life!" a weak voice came from the figure sitting cross-legged.

Wang Lin's expression was calm. He walked over unhurriedly, slowly approaching, and saw everything clearly ahead.

The four skeletons that had fallen to the ground and died were all festering, their eyes dull and faintly revealing confusion. The same foul odor also emanated from their bodies.

The person sitting cross-legged was a middle-aged man. This person's face was pale and bloodless, and a black line faintly appeared between his eyebrows. Even his Primordial Spirit was on the verge of death. It was clear that this person had been poisoned too deeply, and this poison was definitely not ordinary; it was a supreme, highly toxic poison!

"Late Stage Nirvana Cleanse!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed. A poison capable of killing a Late Stage Nirvana Cleanse Cultivator was clearly comparable to that "Desire to Live, Desire to Die" poison.

"Fellow Daoist coming here, it is nothing more than for the Jade Slip and the Pill Formula. Although I do not know your School, I imagine you are determined to obtain these two items. Even if I do not hand them over, you have ways to open my Storage Space. Fine, I can give you these two items, I only ask that you let me, Shi, die quickly, and not let me continue to be tortured by this Thousand Purple Insect Thread poison." The middle-aged man's face revealed bitterness and pleading.

Wang Lin was silent. He glanced at the four corpses on the ground, then looked at the middle-aged man and nodded.

"These four were my Disciples. To protect me, they were poisoned by the Poisonous Hag of the Five Poisons Sect and died suddenly." The middle-aged man's eyes revealed sorrow. These four Disciples who had accompanied him to the end would surely have become outstanding talents in the School if not for the recent events.

"With the poison flaring up, I cannot circulate the origin energy within my body. You lend me a wisp of origin energy to open my Storage Space, and I will take out the Jade Slip and Pill Formula for you. Once you take them, just give me a quick death! For the sake of worldly possessions, I have ended up in this state and have also implicated these Disciples…" The bitterness on the middle-aged man's face deepened.

Wang Lin did not say a single word throughout. He raised his right hand and slapped forward. A wave of origin energy surged out, slowly approaching the outside of the middle-aged man's body. The moment it reached three inches from his body, the origin energy suddenly changed!
