Chapter 1166: Why Should My Generation of Cultivators Fear a Battle! (First Update of 2011)

The scene in the stone statue's eyes vanished, and in the instant it disappeared, the lightning from the Formation rushed forward, seemingly tearing through the Void Realm, shattering the starry sky and time, landing directly on Wang Lin's right eye!

Thunder boomed and echoed inside Wang Lin's mind. His body stumbled back dozens of zhang. He stared at the vanishing scene within the stone statue's eyes, his expression becoming ferocious!

The stone statue collapsed with a crash, turning into fragments scattered across the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust… "Outer Realm…" Wang Lin didn't know why, but in that moment, the instant he saw the scene in the statue's eyes, his blood seemed to ignite!

He didn't feel this way when he saw the war between Luotian and the Alliance, seeing so many Cultivators die; he didn't feel this way when he saw the great catastrophe caused by Cultivators fighting over treasures, leading to mass deaths; nor did he feel this way when he saw the various factions within the Alliance constantly fighting amongst themselves.

But at this moment, he didn't know the reason, yet upon seeing the ancestors who died both inside and outside the Formation, especially those inside, a surge of passion rushed to his head.

The shouts of the Immortals just before their deaths seemed to echo endlessly in his ears!

"I refuse to accept this!! I refuse to accept this!!! One day, the descendants of my generation of Cultivators will surely break open this Formation, exterminating all of you Foreign Spirits!! Making the Outer Realm run with blood!"

Staring at the collapsed stone statue, the Lightning Mark in Wang Lin's right eye flickered ceaselessly. After a long time, he turned and flew toward the mountain Peak surrounded by the Age Restriction ahead!

While Wang Lin was absorbing the stone statue's lightning, in the distant mist, the three youths from the Outer Realm—especially the one with the Lightning Mark on his brow—had extremely pale faces and were faintly trembling.

He clearly sensed that a battle of thunder seemed to be occurring ahead. One side appeared to possess Thunder Power originating from the same source as his own, and the other side also used thunder, but that Thunder Power shocked his mind, making it subtly difficult for him to control the Thunder Power within his own body.

The two others beside him clearly didn't feel it as intensely. However, the youth with the Crescent Moon Mark on his brow remained silent the entire way, his expression gloomy, as if contemplating something.

As for the person with the Flame Totem on his brow, his eyes flickered, revealing undisguised greed. What he coveted was the Power of Fire that he had detected when Wang Lin's Divine Sense swept past earlier.

After a long while, the three of them appeared where the stone statue had collapsed. Looking at the shattered fragments of the statue, the youth with the Lightning Mark on his brow grew even paler, faintly revealing anger. He could sense that this statue was precisely that of his ancestor. Although he didn't know why it was here, it was clear that the Lightning Spirit left behind by his ancestor had been forcibly taken away recently!

But after the anger subsided, what remained was profound fear!

"What should we do?" the person with the Lightning Mark on his brow asked, looking at his two companions.

"If the three of us open the Seal, we can borrow Peak power for the Incense Stick Time. Killing this person is not impossible…" the person with the Flame Mark on his brow slowly said.

"Why don't we leave, report this Spatial Rift to the Elders, and let them decide… I always have a bad feeling about this," the person with the Lightning Mark hesitated, speaking softly.

"Wealth comes from danger!" the youth with the Crescent Moon Mark on his brow said, gritting his teeth as if having made up his mind.

The person with the Lightning Mark fell silent. A moment later, his eyes flashed with ferocity. Without further delay, he rushed forward, following the traces of thunder. The other two followed closely, disappearing into the mist.

Wang Lin's figure was like lightning, speeding through the mist. A moment later, he arrived at the location where he had previously fought Cang Songzi for the Jade Bottle. Looking at the Age Restriction Curtain ahead, Wang Lin's eyes flashed. If this Restriction were intact, never having been breached before, or if the breach had occurred too long ago, it would be extremely difficult for Wang Lin to open it, unless he was willing to destroy a Magic Treasure.

But currently, this Restriction had only been opened a few months ago. Although Wang Lin's mind was confused when his Divine Sense swept over it before, he still remembered that there was an invisible crack on the Restriction Curtain.

This crack was exactly where Cang Songzi and the Old Woman in Green had breached it earlier.

"It won't be difficult, I just need to reopen the crack that was breached before!" Wang Lin formed hand Seals, and streams of Destruction Restrictions immediately appeared as afterimages, instantly covering the Restriction. Amidst the flickering, the ripples on the Restriction Curtain suddenly echoed.

Wang Lin didn't blink. His Divine Sense spread out, observing closely. Before long, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately found the spot that had been breached earlier!

Although the crack had healed, the Age Restriction on it was only a few months old. Unless countless years passed, this flaw would remain.

This was also a flaw of the Age Restriction.

Having found the crack, Wang Lin grabbed into the Void Realm with his right hand, and the Crystal Sword immediately appeared. He swept it forward horizontally. Sword light flashed, and an aura of Secondary Void Nirvana immediately resonated. The light of heaven and earth suddenly brightened, and a Sword Ray whistled, heading straight for the crack.

Rumbles immediately sounded. The ripples on the Restriction Curtain violently surged and fluctuated, and a tiny crack appeared under the Sword Ray. The moment it appeared, the Crystal Sword approached. Under Wang Lin's control, endless Sword Qi continuously spread out. Amidst the tremendous roars, the crack grew wider and wider!

Just then, Wang Lin leaped up. In mid-air, he grabbed into the Void Realm with his right hand, and the Trident instantly appeared in his grasp, emitting endless black light. Holding the Trident, Wang Lin descended like a meteor, heading straight for the crack.

His speed was extremely fast, approaching almost instantly. The Trident pierced into the crack with a boom, and a mighty force resonated from within, rushing into Wang Lin's body.

But Wang Lin snorted coldly, and the Power of the Ancient God permeated him. He pushed hard with his right hand. Amidst loud bangs, the Trident directly pierced through the Restriction Curtain. Furthermore, with a flick, the crack that had only healed a few months ago was forcibly ripped open, becoming several zhang long.

Wang Lin grabbed with his left hand, and the Crystal Sword flew back. With a flash, he entered the crack and headed straight for the mountain Peak.

As for the Immortal Cave entrance, marked by a Lightning Stone Gate halfway up the mountain Peak, Wang Lin merely glanced at it before immediately withdrawing his gaze.

He quickly reached the summit of the mountain. He swept the Trident forward, and amidst rumbling echoes, a Spatial Rift instantly flickered out in the Void Realm before him.

The reason he knew the exact location was due to Cang Songzi's memories, Wang Lin's observations from his first visit here, and what he gained when spreading his mind.

With the crack appearing, Wang Lin stepped right through! Not long after he entered the rift, the three youths from the Outer Realm approached the exterior of the mountain's Restriction Curtain. The three exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and passed directly through the crack Wang Lin had torn open on the Curtain. After entering, they rushed toward the mountain Peak.

Wang Lin entered the strange space and immediately saw the massive Stone Stele! His gaze focused, and Wang Lin walked forward. His eyes followed the stele down, resting upon the half-skeleton pinned to the stele by two Seven-colored Nails beneath it!

Faint black light circulated around the skeleton, making the Scriptures on its bones seem to emit an inexplicable attraction that could drive people mad.

Wang Lin walked closer step by step, arriving beside the skeleton. Concentrating his Origin Energy and Sealing the Mind, he avoided looking at the bone Scriptures, instead focusing his gaze on the Stone Stele. This stele was made of unknown material, radiating an ancient aura and containing traces of time.

After observing it carefully for a moment, Wang Lin frowned. He felt the material of the Stone Stele looked familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen anything similar.

After a moment of silence, Wang Lin's gaze swept over the skeleton. Although he was very careful, his mind still seemed to be drawn in. Fortunately, he was prepared and it wasn't the first time he had looked at it; he stepped back a few paces and recovered.

His eyes flashed, and Wang Lin didn't hesitate. He immediately opened his Storage Rift, and the illusory 'War' Character radiating golden light suddenly flew out from his storage space. The moment it appeared, golden light instantly flickered upon the half-skeleton. Specks of golden light seemed to rush out from within the bones, causing the skeleton, shrouded in both gold and black, to continuously transform.

Finally, the golden light flashed, flying out from the skeleton and heading straight for the War Character, merging with it. In this instant, the entire world in this location was immediately enveloped in ten thousand zhang of golden light.

In a flash, the War Character radiating golden light rushed directly toward Wang Lin at an extremely fast speed, landing on his brow! In that instant, Wang Lin's mind shook.

"I am Zhan Xingye. I knew that the Venerable Master would come and try to force me to submit, but as a Luotian Cultivator, I would rather have my Dao extinguished than collude with the people of the Outer Realm. Whoever inherits my Orthodox Lineage, comprehend the Battle Intent; if you achieve success in the future, kill the people of the Outer Realm and offer their spirits as a sacrifice to me…"

A monstrous Battle Intent permeated Wang Lin's mind. Furthermore, countless scenes of Zhan Xingye fighting against heaven and earth and his journey through life flashed in his mind. There was also an extremely profound realization regarding the single character 'War'. Under this realization, his Concept rapidly improved, subtly fusing with the Battle Intent, resulting in astonishing changes.

Just as Wang Lin was comprehending, the space he was in suddenly twisted. It was the three people from the Outer Realm who had stepped inside. The youth with the flame on his brow stared greedily at Wang Lin. At such a close distance, he could clearly feel the Power of Fire on Wang Lin that drove him mad.

"If I devour him, I can advance!"

The youth beside him, who had the Lightning Mark on his brow, was even more shaken. He stared intently at Wang Lin. While sensing the Thunder Power on the other party, he also perceived that Wang Lin seemed to be in a strange state at the moment.

"A heaven-sent opportunity!!"

Only the person with the Crescent Moon Mark on his brow suppressed the shock in his heart after seeing Wang Lin's back. His pupils contracted, and a distant memory surfaced in his mind.

"It really is him!!"

The three flashed out almost simultaneously, carrying a frantic murderous aura, rushing straight toward Wang Lin. As they advanced, all three simultaneously formed a hand Seal with their right hand and slammed it hard onto their brows.

Three soft bangs echoed. The bodies of the three immediately underwent astonishing changes. The person with the Lightning Mark suddenly swelled up, transforming into a size dozens of zhang tall, his entire body covered in lightning.

The person with the Flame Totem on his brow suddenly grew a pair of Flame Wings behind him, a Single Horn erupted from his head, and his entire body was engulfed in fire, his expression ferocious amidst the pain.

The person with the Crescent Moon Mark on his brow was the strangest. His body didn't change much, but his skin, resembling moonlight, instantly became crystalline, seemingly able to reflect the golden light of the area!

But just as they charged forward frantically, in the instant they approached, Wang Lin suddenly turned around. His eyes instantly cleared, revealing a hint of mockery! It was exactly the same look the people of the Outer Realm had used to mock the Cultivators of the Inner Realm back then.

"Live as a hero among men, die as a champion among ghosts. Why should my generation of Cultivators fear a battle!" In Wang Lin's mind, Zhan Xingye's final words before death, spoken when facing the Venerable Master, faintly echoed!
