Chapter 1176: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Seven-Colored Flower (Third Update)

Staring at the cave entrance, Wang Lin's eyes flashed with brilliance. He lifted his feet and walked step by step, drawing closer and closer to the entrance.

But the moment his body stepped within one zhang of the cave entrance, a gigantic vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above the Seven-Colored Realm. The vortex roared, emitting a wailing sound that was bizarre and, upon reaching the ears, immediately disturbed the mind, causing an invisible flame to instantly ignite in the hearts of all who heard it.

Wang Lin's body trembled violently. He abruptly looked up, staring at the vortex that had suddenly appeared in the sky. Vaguely, his gaze seemed to penetrate the vortex, seeing a stretch of starry sky, and within that starry sky, an indescribable grand hall!

His gaze stopped there. A feeling of madness instantly surged within Wang Lin's heart. This feeling was extremely strange, yet unstoppable!

Moreover, at this moment, the seven-colored light throughout the entire Seven-Colored Realm instantly intensified. The seven colors of the heaven and earth actually rushed directly toward Wang Lin!

It was as if, at this moment, Wang Lin's body had become the source within the Seven-Colored Realm, attracting the endless seven-colored radiance to frantically gather, continuously drilling into his body while enveloping him.

In just a few breaths, the seven-colored light of the Seven-Colored Realm became dense and dazzling. Endless radiance spread out and arrived quickly. There was so much light that, under its ceaseless influx, Wang Lin's body remained motionless.

His mind was firmly grasped by an indescribable force, making him completely unable to control his body, allowing the seven-colored light to rush directly toward his Physical Body.

Gradually, the seven-colored light increased. Eventually, it seemed that all the seven colors of the entire Seven-Colored Realm had arrived. On the periphery of the Seven-Colored Realm, there was no longer any light, only darkness.

If one looked down from high altitude, they could clearly see that the Seven-Colored Realm resembled a gigantic circle, with all the seven-colored light contracting and rushing toward Wang Lin.

The madness within Wang Lin grew stronger as the seven-colored light poured in, eventually forming a seven-colored ocean inside him, completely drowning his mind and replacing it with endless frenzy!

It was the same madness that Qing Shui experienced back then!

This madness caused Wang Lin's expression to twist, veins bulging on his face, his eyes turning blood-red, and an earth-shattering roar escaping his mouth! This roar was like the howl of a Vicious Beast, echoing between the heaven and earth, transforming into thunder that rumbled outward.

More and more seven-colored radiance merged into Wang Lin's body. His body trembled, attempting to struggle, but the madness in his mind made it impossible for him to break free. Instead, the more he struggled, the more intense the feeling of madness became.

Roars continuously erupted from his mouth. In this short period, Wang Lin's entire body was drenched in sweat, wetting his clothes. His hair moved without wind, his eyes grew redder and redder, and waves of low growls echoed. Wang Lin, the person, had gone mad!

He lost his mind, lost consciousness, and lost all his memories. The world before his eyes instantly turned blood-red! The only thought remaining in his mind was Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill all living beings, kill all heaven and earth. Moreover, a sense of tyranny was growing in his heart. At this moment, even if Li Muwan were standing before him, he would strike without hesitation and kill her!

The feeling of madness completely suppressed Wang Lin's mind. He was like a Slaughtering Vicious Beast, and as his killing intent increased, his feeling of frenzy grew more intense.

At this moment, seventy percent of the seven-colored radiance of the Seven-Colored Realm had already merged into Wang Lin's body. More than half of the Seven-Colored Realm was plunged into darkness!

Roar!

Wang Lin's expression during his roar was terrifying, enough to shock anyone familiar with him. At this moment, as the seven-colored light continuously merged into him, he had sunk forever into a Slaughter Prison!

His body was filled with unimaginable heaven and earth origin energy. He could no longer feel the intense pain; the only thing remaining was kill!

The flame in his left eye instantly spread out, covering his entire body. The thunder in his right eye burst forth, flashing inside and outside his body. The mountain peak he stood on trembled violently because of this.

The seven-colored light arrived frantically without any pause. Gradually, the surrounding heaven and earth quickly turned pitch black at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a moment, the Seven-Colored Realm completely became darkness, devoid of any light!

All the light was absorbed into Wang Lin's body, becoming the Origin that drove him mad!

The moment the Seven-Colored Realm became completely devoid of light, Wang Lin let out a frenzied roar toward the sky, his eyes red, intent on destroying everything, including himself!

"This is the most magnificent flame between heaven and earth. Its name is Wrath… Take your wrath, take your frenzy, boil your Soul, plant the Dao for this old man, and add the final Dao Concept… This old man is very curious if you can burn my finger… Can you?" A沧桑 voice slowly drifted out from the vortex in the pitch-black sky. It seemed to be isolated by space and time, arriving full of the marks of time.

Wang Lin had already lost consciousness, and his body fell to the ground. His Primordial Spirit and his Soul—everything except his Physical Body—transformed into a streak of red light, rushing out of his body as if burning, heading straight for the cave entrance!

Inside the cave entrance where the Dao was planted, there was a massive area of magma. Large bubbles emerged from the magma, emitting bursts of pitch-black Qi. All around, there were countless iron chains, and dried skeletons were suspended from every chain.

Furthermore, countless Jade Slips floated around, and each one Seal-ed infinite Dao Concepts.

The sound of wailing was precisely what emanated from within the Jade Slips!

The magma was not deep. Below it, one could vaguely see countless Rune Marks carved, emitting a faint glow within the magma. Every time this light flickered, the surrounding Jade Slips would burst forth with a large amount of Dao Concepts, merging into the magma and being absorbed by the Rune Marks.

Moreover, at this moment, the corpses suspended by iron chains around them would also drip black liquid, falling into the magma and causing it to boil.

The moment the red light that Wang Lin had transformed into rushed in, all the Jade Slips inside the cave instantly collapsed with a booming sound. Endless Dao Concepts flew out from within them, all merging into the magma. Simultaneously, the suspended corpses also exploded one by one, turning into large amounts of black liquid and undergoing Fusion with the magma.

Instantly, the bubbles on the magma suddenly increased. Amidst the echoing booms, the magma began to rotate. The Rune Marks within immediately dissolved, forming an unimaginable suction force that swallowed the red light Wang Lin had transformed into the moment it entered the cave.

The magma rotated faster and faster. In just a moment, it seemed to penetrate the cave, opening up a starry sky connected to it!

This was a boundless starry sky, with countless stars within it forming a massive Formation. This Formation was so vast that it was the size of the Alliance Star Domain!

Every star was part of this Formation. In the center of the Formation, there were seven plants resembling flowers. These seven plants were of different colors, and together, they were precisely seven colors! They were not large, only a hundred zhang in size, truly insignificant compared to the vast starry sky.

But the existence of this starry sky was precisely because of these seven plants. The entire starry sky and the Formation within it existed solely to provide nourishment for these seven plants!

Utilizing the power of the Star Domain, the power of countless planets, and the power of countless rifts like the Seven-Colored Realm, they absorbed boundless Dao Concepts, which ultimately transformed into nourishment to sustain these seven plants, causing them to continuously grow until they flowered and bore fruit.

The Star Domain here did not exist independently; rather, it was established by someone using a great Divine Ability technique upon the Great Seal Formation that encircled the Boundary, and it was further merged with that great Formation. This caused the Dao Concept of every Cultivator who died within the entire Boundary to be invisibly sucked into the Formation, merging here to become nourishment.

This is Planting the Dao!

Having lasted for an unknown amount of time throughout the ages, it continuously persisted, continuously proceeded, constantly absorbing the deceased Dao Concepts of the people within the Boundary.

During the era of Ancient Immortals, when there was no Concept, this Formation used the heaven and earth rules of the Immortals within the Boundary as nourishment. During the Primordial ages, when rules were not comprehended, this Formation absorbed the Origin of the Primordial Cultivators as nourishment.

Using this method, it nourished these seven plants, allowing them to give birth to Dao Fruit… At this moment, inside the plant that was entirely crimson among the seven, a skeleton sat cross-legged. Countless scriptures were carved onto this skeleton, faintly emitting black light, which the plant quickly absorbed.

The flower of this entirely crimson plant was vibrant, like fresh blood. However, its petals had already fallen off, with only a few remaining. When all these petals fell, it would be the moment for this crimson plant among the seven to bear fruit.

Just then, a rift suddenly appeared in the starry sky beside the plant. A streak of red light flashed out from the rift, heading straight for the flower, merging into it instantly. Within that red light were Wang Lin's Soul and Primordial Spirit, which were sucked into the plant and appeared beside the skeleton inside.

The plant seemed to have absorbed the last shred of nourishment. All the petals withered and fell, and the center of the flower began to wriggle strangely. Gradually, a crimson fruit slowly condensed.

Time slowly flowed by, passing for an unknown duration, seemingly an eternity.

The rift outside the plant gradually shrank as well, appearing about to dissipate.

Wang Lin inside this plant had already dissipated. The place where he was located was filled with a sheet of red liquid. Gradually, the skeleton beside him also dissipated, transforming into a streak of purple-gold radiance and becoming part of this red liquid.

Time flowed by: one year, ten years, twenty years, forty years… It seemed a very, very long time had passed… The red liquid diminished, all becoming nourishment for the fruit's growth. As the liquid decreased, the fruit gradually grew larger, looking vibrant and ready to drop, seemingly formed from fresh blood.

Ninety-eight years passed in total… "You once asked me if I would burn my finger after the fire intensified. I can answer you now… I will not…" An ancient voice gradually echoed throughout the Star Domain… "The Seven-Colored Flower is about to bear a fruit… The fruits of the remaining six plants are also not far behind… This old man was persuaded by the Venerable Master back then to choose the end of cultivation instead of facing the Void Tribulation Realm, not pursuing whether the Fourth Step Sky-Treading Dao exists, but willingly becoming the gardener for his crimson plant. I was anticipating the day his Heavenly Dao scheme would succeed… Now, it seems that day is not far off…"

Has anyone sent me a bottle of Red Bull or Pocari Sweat? Has anyone cast another monthly vote for me? Right now, I'm exhausted beyond recognition, but I'm gritting my teeth and persevering. I don't have many votes today, so I'm preparing to write the fourth update!
