Chapter 1177: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Awakening (Fourth Update)

Counting the time Wang Lin spent entering the Seven-Colored Realm, ninety-nine years passed in a blink of an eye… During these ninety-nine years, earth-shattering changes occurred in the Alliance Star Domain. The Four Saint Sect’s powerful intervention swept away the remaining sects of the Cultivation Alliance in one fell swoop, and forcibly pressured the Corpse Yin Sect to act, jointly confronting the Luotian army.

The Corpse Yin Sect originally had no intention of participating, instead harboring the thought of profiting from the conflict, especially since they were situated between Luotian and the Four Saint Sect. It seemed that either side would need the Corpse Yin Sect's help to win.

The Corpse Yin Sect did not care that Luotian was not from the Kunxu Star Domain but an external invader! What they cared about was the massive trade in physical bodies brought about by the war.

The Corpse Yin Sect even hoped that the war would continue indefinitely, without end.

However, all of this was completely shattered by one person: Azure Dragon Saint Emperor. He alone stepped into the Corpse Yin Sect Star Domain, and with his own power, he consecutively killed countless Corpse Yin Sect Elders, and severely wounded several surviving kings of the Corpse Yin Sect, forcing the Corpse Yin Sect’s Sect Master, who had been in seclusion for many years and was also the First King, to take action. A great battle that shocked the entire Star Domain then unfolded between the two!

Ultimately, the Corpse Yin Sect’s First King was thoroughly defeated. If the Azure Dragon Saint Emperor hadn’t had another objective, killing him would not have been difficult!

This battle shocked the Corpse Yin Sect, making them fully aware of the Four Saint Sect's power, and it instilled in them an unprecedented fear of the Azure Dragon Saint Emperor.

The Corpse Yin Sect had no choice but to obey the Four Saint Sect’s command and join them in waging war against Luotian!

This was a great war between the Rain and Cloud Realms, and during the war, Tuosen awakened, broke through the Formation, and walked out from Vermilion Bird Star!

His appearance immediately shocked Luotian. Tuosen acted purely on his whims; as soon as he appeared, some Luotian Cultivators provoked him, and he charged into the battlefield alone, sweeping through and killing tens of thousands of Luotian Cultivators!

After the slaughter, Tuosen departed indifferently, leaving only one sentence.

“You are too weak.”

No Luotian Cultivator dared to pursue him, including the hidden Master Lu, who, in his terror, fled far away from the Alliance Star Domain, not daring to step back even half a step!

Fortunately, after Tuosen appeared, he did not stay in the Alliance Star Domain for too long. He first went to the Four Saint Sect, unleashed the Power of the Ancient God, and, with the star points on his brow, a single Divine Ability severely wounded the Azure Dragon Saint Emperor. He even shattered the Four Saint Sect’s Star Domain, causing the entire eastern region to be covered in countless cracks, making it impossible for anyone to enter thereafter! However, Tuosen did not kill the Azure Dragon Saint Emperor, simply saying:

“You are too weak!”

As for the location of the Vermilion Bird Saint Sect, the eternal flame that had existed for ages! After Tuosen saw it, with a wave of his hand, this flame dissipated from then on, completely extinguished!

“This fire is an eyesore!”

None of the Vermilion Bird Saint Sect members dared to express anger.

Then Tuosen left and went to the Kunxu Land, where he fought the old man within, sealing him in his glabella. Furthermore, under the God-Slaying Spear, the entire Kunxu collapsed!

The Kunxu Holy Land, which had existed for countless years, vanished into thin air from then on! Becoming an eternal memory.

During this battle, Mu Bingmei’s Physical Body collapsed, and her Primordial Spirit was severely wounded and went missing. Tuosen disdained to pursue her, instead leaving a mark on her and letting her leave.

Immediately after, the Corpse Yin Sect was also implicated by Tuosen’s rage when he couldn’t find Wang Lin. After countless casualties, Tuosen finally departed.

Tuosen's final destination was the sealed Rain Immortal Realm. Facing the great Seal Formation of the Rain Immortal Realm, Tuosen's expression became solemn for the first time, but his arrogant demeanor intensified within this solemnity.

Just as he was about to make his move, Qing Lin appeared outside the Rain Immortal Realm. It is unknown what conversation transpired between the two, but afterward, Tuosen remained silent for a long time, nodded, turned, and left, disappearing from the Alliance Star Domain, taking his many controlled ancient Qi Refining Cultivators to an unknown destination.

He was blindly searching for the person he absolutely had to devour!

However, that person seemed to have vanished between heaven and earth, no matter how Tuosen sensed, he couldn't detect a single trace of his aura!

Tuosen's appearance drastically changed the landscape of the Alliance Star Domain. For a time, it became quiet, and the Luotian Cultivators, because of Tuosen, all retreated and left the Alliance Star Domain.

This war, which had lasted for several hundred years, ended because of Tuosen alone.

Only a roar that shocked the entire Star Domain echoed as Tuosen departed… “Wang Lin, where exactly are you!!!”

Words of similar meaning also quietly emanated at this moment from Lü Yanfei’s mouth in the Guiyuan Sect on Moruo Continent within the Cloud Sea Star Domain.

“Senior, where are you… There’s only one year left until the main sect’s grand competition… Can you come back…?”

In the Cloud Sea Star Domain, the Purple Dao Sect developed rapidly over the past century, subtly becoming one of the top six sects in the fifth-tier Star Domain. However, the Sect Master of the Purple Dao Sect, Lu Yuncong, often stared blankly at the starry sky during this century, as if recalling something.

Only the old man who had always followed him occasionally heard Lu Yuncong’s murmuring.

“Brother Lü, when I discussed the Dao with you back then, I, Lu, benefited greatly. But now, a hundred years have passed, and with your extraordinary talent, why have I not heard any trace of you…? My cultivation has improved; if we could meet again, I, Lu, would still like to discuss the Dao with you…”

Similarly, in the ninth-tier Star Domain, in the deepest part of the mist, at the battlefield of the strange裂缝 where the Demon Sect was located, Li Qianmei, with blue hair and a serene demeanor, slayed one Vicious Beast after another.

The Cultivators from various sects who had come here with her were all filled with awe and respect for this blue-haired woman, but at the same time, many Cultivators secretly developed admiration for her.

There were many Cultivators here, and quite a few of them had great renown, especially with the continuous beast tides, the number of those who distinguished themselves greatly increased.

During the century of daily slaughter and resistance against the beast tides, many Cultivators also perished in battle, such occurrences happened almost every day.

And as time passed, the beast tides grew more intense, with more twelfth-tier Vicious Beasts appearing, and even thirteenth-tier Vicious Beasts emerging. Every appearance of a thirteenth-tier Vicious Beast was a disaster and a catastrophe for the Cultivators.

Members of the Demon Sect also appeared on the battlefield; they were the main force, and very few of the people sent by other sects were recognized by the Demon Sect. In the eyes of the Demon Sect, these people were merely residual forces to distract the Vicious Beasts.

However, in these hundred years, four individuals did gain the Demon Sect’s recognition, and Li Qianmei was one of them!

Almost all Cultivators knew that Li Qianmei possessed a Magic Treasure: a golden brush. When this brush sketched, it could produce powerful runes!

But even if members of the Demon Sect wanted to borrow this brush for observation, Li Qianmei refused them all. Her usually tranquil nature seemed to display an unprecedented firmness at this moment!

On one occasion, Li Qianmei was besieged by several twelfth-tier Vicious Beasts, suffered severe injuries, and fell unconscious, losing the golden brush on the battlefield. She was rescued by members of the Demon Sect. A moment later, she awoke, and despite her severe injuries, Li Qianmei disregarded everyone's dissuasion, with disheveled hair and biting her lower lip, she rushed out again, just to retrieve that golden brush… From then on, all the Cultivators here knew that this golden brush was Li Qianmei’s most precious possession… “Where are you now…? Unknowingly, nearly a hundred years have passed…” At this moment, Li Qianmei sat cross-legged on a simple cultivation platform, her face pale, clearly injured. In the mist before her, numerous Vicious Beasts roared, fiercely resisted by countless Cultivators.

She seemed to have forgotten the battlefield's slaughter, unable to hear the Vicious Beasts' roars around her. She raised her head, her eyes gazing into the distant distance… In the Cloud Sea Star Domain, within a patch of mist, there existed a desolate continent. Mu Bingmei’s Primordial Spirit, using the Kunxu Secret Art, broke through the barrier and escaped here, slowly condensing a Physical Body.

On that day, after being severely wounded by Tuosen and her Physical Body collapsing, for some unknown reason, the only thing on her mind was to see Wang Lin one more time… “Wang Lin, I wonder if you are well now…” Inside a mountain cave on the desolate continent, Mu Bingmei slowly opened her beautiful eyes, staring blankly ahead, an unprecedented sense of loneliness pervading her heart.

She felt very cold, meditating silently and alone in this foreign land. This coldness enveloped her body, inside and out. Outside the cave, the cold wind whined, and listening to this sound made Mu Bingmei feel even colder… And at this moment, in the Seven-Colored Realm, after the light disappeared, it had been dark for a hundred years. A strange power enveloped the mountain where Wang Lin’s Primordial Spirit and Soul had dissipated, preventing outsiders from entering.

Yun Hunzi attempted to break in but failed. He could only find an Immortal Cave nearby, silently watching the dark world outside, spending a century there.

Chen Tianjun and the old woman in green robes were also within this Seven-Colored Realm, feeling the passage of time in the darkness… At the top of the mountain enveloped by that strange power, a corpse lay peacefully, motionless. This was Wang Lin’s body. Although a hundred years had passed, the Ancient God Physical Body had not decayed in the slightest, maintaining its appearance from a century ago, though it was covered in dust.

In this world, if one does not distinguish between the Inner and Outer Realms, then in a strange Star Domain that exists to nourish the seven-colored flower, the fruits on the entirely crimson plant gradually grew to several zhang in size. Just as they were about to fully ripen… On this day, a remnant consciousness appeared within one of the fruits. This remnant consciousness seemed to absorb the strange power within the fruit, gradually growing stronger, slowly transforming into a bead.

The moment this bead appeared, Wang Lin seemed to have had a dream and slowly awakened… His awakening, due to the appearance of the Heaven Defying Bead, went unnoticed by anyone. Even the flower caretaker did not notice the earth-shattering change within the fruit! This change was enough to make the universe tremble, enough to alter the trajectory of everything in this world, whether within or outside the realm… The flower caretaker once said that his fingers would not be burned after the fire flourished; he was very confident… But how long would this confidence last…? “Will it?”

“It will!”

I have reached my limit. Four updates for three consecutive days, writing thirty-six thousand characters in three days. The cost is an unspeakable pain. I don't know if I can continue with four updates; I am already very, very tired.
