Chapter 1213: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Dominating Wuji (IV) Fourth Update

"He has arrived…" Lu Yuncong stared blankly at the sky, at the endless thunder, and at the white figure beyond the endless thunder, his mind deeply shaken.

Li Qianmei suddenly stood up, staring blankly at the sky. She saw the figure beyond the thunder instantly. Looking at the familiar person she parted with a century ago, and watching him arrive a century later, stepping upon the heavenly thunder, she bit her lower lip. Her expression grew increasingly serene, as if all of this was meant to be; his arrival was supposed to be exactly like this, walking into her heart amidst the welcoming roar of the sky-filling thunder.

Mu Bingmei's expression was complex, holding an indescribable emotion. She silently gazed at the familiar yet strange man within the thunder. Many images flashed before her eyes—an unspeakable sorrow, an inexpressible bitterness, yet also a sense of warmth emerging from the loneliness. For a moment, she lowered her head deeply.

The sparkle in Lü Yanfei's eyes intensified, and two streams of joyous tears flowed down. Watching the figure in the sky draw closer, it was as if all the grievances she had suffered found an outlet at this moment, flowing out with her tears.

Wang Lin had arrived, draped in thunder, severing the heavens and earth, stepping across the cloud sea, he had arrived!

At this moment, it wasn't just those familiar with Wang Lin who reacted this way; all the Cultivators around, even those from the Wuji Sect, were profoundly shaken.

Feng Hai suddenly stood up, his pupils contracting, staring at the descending white figure within the thunder above the sky. With his cultivation, he clearly perceived that the heaven and earth origin energy in the world at this moment was definitely not something an ordinary nirvana shattering Cultivator could stir. This kind of change in heaven and earth origin energy could only be possessed by someone who had comprehended profound rules and whose cultivation had reached nirvana shattering Great Perfection!

Not only him, but the Crimson-robed Old Monster also gasped, his mind shaking. The rules and Concept he cultivated were both related to thunder, and his feeling was clearer now. Vaguely, he felt a loss of control over the Primordial Spirit within his body; his Primordial Spirit, which seemed half-transformed into thunder, suddenly had an impulse to worship. It was as if what he was seeing was not a Cultivator, but an eternal Divine Thunder that had existed since the beginning of time and the creation of the heavens and earth!

The Middle-aged Man Surnamed Zhou from the Wuji Sect, his gaze now sharp as lightning, stared intently at Wang Lin within the heavenly thunder. His mind was shaking, subtly permeated by dread. What terrified him was that he hadn't detected the other party's appearance at all until the thunder rumbled across the sky, only then realizing what was happening.

This kind of Divine Ability for concealing one's aura was enough to shake the Middle-aged Man Surnamed Zhou's mind. What he considered more likely was that this was not a Divine Ability, but rather a consequence of the person's cultivation being far higher than his own!

The Old Monster who had previously taken Disciples to the Chaotic Beast Mist Realm was now very composed. He was the only person from the Wuji Sect who had witnessed Wang Lin taking action. He sighed and cupped his fists, saying, "I met Brother Lü that day, never expecting us to be from the same Sect. I am Wu Jiangping, greetings, Fellow Daoist!"

Besides him, the other Old Monster who had first seen Wang Lin's illusory shadow now had a solemn gaze. He had not entirely believed what he knew, but now, he was completely convinced. The other party truly possessed the ability to sweep across the Sixth and Seventh Stage Star Domains!

The Sect Master of the Wuji Sect, his eyes glinting, was the person with the highest cultivation present. Although he was not the strongest person in the Wuji Sect, he had reached the Realm of the First Heavenly Human Decay!

Precisely because he had reached this rare Realm, he saw things that others could not. His gaze fell distantly upon Wang Lin's glabella. Although it appeared empty, the White-robed Old Monster clearly felt that a rule was hidden within this person's glabella!

What made him feel even more terrified was that this rule was not contained within the heavens and earth; it existed transcendentally, as if it were a new rule born outside of the heavens and earth!

Under this rule, even he felt a trace of reverence. Furthermore, the Concept contained within the person before him seemed, in his view, to be full of illusory and real transformations, making it incredibly difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in a short time!

This was what startled him even more; in a life-and-death battle with such a Cultivator, he had no confidence in a decisive victory!

"This person is indeed still recovering from an injury, but his injuries are not severe… It seems the reason he arrived late was due to his own concerns."

Lü Yingjie stared blankly at the white-robed figure within the sky's thunder. A feeling of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering suddenly arose, instantly submerging him like a tide.

His body trembled—a shudder born of shock, fear, and dread. Especially when he recalled how he had previously offended the Guiyuan Sect, speaking flippantly and even declaring his desire to fight this person, his scalp prickled and his eyes felt unfocused.

Even his fellow Disciples from the Xianyin Sect nearby were completely terrified.

"He… he… actually possesses this level of cultivation. What Lu Yuncong said—that killing me is like crushing an ant—is actually true!" Lü Yingjie's mind was in chaos, his face pale, and he grew increasingly panicked.

It wasn't just him; the Xunluan Sect in the distance suddenly fell silent. Zhao Long stared blankly at the figure in the sky, his expression changing drastically, his pupils contracting. For a moment, his mind went completely blank.

The Sect Master and Grand Elder of the Xunluan Sect beside him were even paler. The moment they saw Wang Lin, they immediately recognized him as the person who had forced them to use all their strength to move the Continent where their Sect was located, yielding the path to him, and respectfully greeting and seeing him off when he left.

"It… it… is him!!!" The two exchanged glances, both seeing the horror in the other's eyes.

Among the nearly one hundred thousand Cultivators in the surrounding stands, the vast majority were from the Sixth and Seventh Stage Star Domains. Almost no one was unaware of the earth-shattering event that had occurred in the Sixth and Seventh Stage Star Domains some time ago. Even if they hadn't witnessed it personally, they knew all the details through word of mouth.

Furthermore, some Old Monsters had personally seen Wang Lin's vague appearance. Seeing him clearly now, they burst into an uproar that spread throughout the area!

"It's him! He brazenly traversed the Sixth Stage Star Domain, and no one dared to stop him for even half a step!"

"I heard my Sect Grandmaster mention that a single Divine Ability from this person actually broke through the Formation barrier of the Sixth and Seventh Stage Star Domains. Even Grandmaster was shocked by it!"

"I personally saw this person unleash the Spirit Command Seal, sweeping through everything and forcing many Sects to migrate their Continents to clear the path for him!"

"Rumor has it that three nirvana shattering Cultivators tried to intercept him, but they all ended up heavily injured and retreated!"

"It wasn't three people. My Senior Brother personally saw seven nirvana shattering Cultivators attack simultaneously, but they were defeated by a single move from this person, resulting in four dead and three injured! Even a Barren Continent collapsed under that Divine Ability!"

The clamor of discussion erupted everywhere, but it was suddenly suppressed by a fierce roar of thunder across the heavens and earth, falling into complete silence. The sky-filling thunder rumbled and condensed, finally merging entirely into Wang Lin's body. The entire world no longer contained a single sound of thunder.

Only one person, dressed in white, with white hair fluttering, descended step by step from the sky, landing on the competition platform, right beside Lü Yanfei.

"I am late." Wang Lin looked at the haggard Lü Yanfei, his eyes showing apology, and he spoke softly.

The tears in Lü Yanfei's eyes could no longer be held back. Looking at Wang Lin, she shook her head, a joyful smile on her face, and whispered, "It's not late. As long as you can come, it's never too late."

"Go back. With me here, no one can touch the Guiyuan Sect! In this grand competition, I will ensure that the Guiyuan Sect, whether in the Fifth, Sixth, or Seventh Stage, becomes the number one sub-sect!" Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, and a gentle breeze swept Lü Yanfei away, instantly teleporting her near the stands where the Wuji Sect members were located.

Wang Lin's gaze then swept toward the location of the Wuji Sect. He cupped his fist toward the Old Monster who had spoken to him earlier, but his expression suddenly froze. He saw Li Qianmei, and he saw… Mu Bingmei.

His gaze paused, then Wang Lin withdrew it. He stood on the platform, looking at Lu Yuncong ahead, whose expression was complex and held a bitter smile.

"Brother Lü's cultivation… is completely different from a century ago. In this Fifth Stage Sect competition, my Zidao Sect willingly concedes defeat!" Lu Yuncong cupped his fists with a bitter smile. If Wang Lin's cultivation was only slightly higher than his own, he would still have the desire to fight. But now, standing before Wang Lin, his mind was already trembling and showing signs of disorder. What was even more terrifying was that even his Dao Concept and Concept were on the verge of collapsing. It was as if there was an invisible vortex inside the person before him, attracting all surrounding Concepts and Dao Concepts. If he wavered even slightly, his Concept and Dao Concept would be completely swallowed.

Wang Lin smiled faintly, but his expression turned cold. He said calmly, "Brother Lu, I have something to ask, and I hope you will inform me! Lü Yanfei has injuries on her body. Who inflicted them?"

Without hesitation, Lu Yuncong pointed toward the location of the Xianyin Sect and said, "Lü Yingjie of the Xianyin Sect!" Afterward, he pointed toward the location of the Xunluan Sect.

"Zhao Long of the Xunluan Sect! These two seem to harbor lustful intentions toward Miss Lü!"

Wang Lin nodded, turned to look at the Xianyin Sect's location, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. His entire person blurred forward, instantly stepping through the Void Realm as he shot straight toward the Xianyin Sect.

Inside the Xianyin Sect area, Lü Yingjie's expression changed drastically. He sped backward, trying to retreat. His Master and the Xianyin Sect Elder beside him quickly rushed out with solemn expressions. In particular, his Master grabbed Lü Yingjie and, flashing, transformed into a long rainbow, rushing desperately toward the Wuji Sect's stands.

The Sect Master of the Xianyin Sect stepped out, blocking Wang Lin from afar. With a respectful look on his face, he cupped his fists, preparing to explain.

But Wang Lin didn't listen to the man at all. Seeing the obstruction before him, he directly waved his right hand forward. A roar echoed as a fierce wind suddenly howled, containing thunder within it, and it violently collided with the Xianyin Sect Sect Master.

A heaven-shaking boom instantly echoed, shocking the world. The Xianyin Sect Sect Master spat out blood, his Physical Body violently disintegrated, and his Primordial Spirit flew out amidst a scream, revealing intense terror.

Wang Lin's body did not pause at all; he walked directly toward the Old Monster who was speeding away with Lü Yingjie. His speed was not fast, but every step he took seemed to make the minds of all observers roar and their Primordial Spirits tremble.

Around the entire platform, all the Cultivators fell completely silent at this moment!

"Main Sect, save me!!" Lü Yingjie's Master's forehead was slick with sweat, his eyes filled with horror, as he frantically roared toward the Wuji Sect members.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, please…" Feng Hai hesitated, cupping his fist, about to speak.

But Wang Lin interrupted him with a wave of his hand!

"He insulted my Guiyuan Sect, he must die. Those who save him share the same crime!" As Wang Lin spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed forward. He had come to the Wuji Sect precisely to deter everyone and to build momentum for the Guiyuan Sect, delivering a Ladder to Heaven!

With that single point, the heavens and earth roared, and the Finger of Heaven's Will suddenly appeared. Ripples echoed throughout the world, and the gigantic finger descended crazily, forming a monstrous pressure that caused all observers around to gasp and stare blankly at the massive finger that dominated the sky, their minds utterly shaken!

The fingertip descended with a whistle, instantly landing on Lü Yingjie and his Master. With a deafening boom, the earth seemed to tremble at that moment, and even the Cultivation Planet shook!

Blood mist burst open. Lü Yingjie and his Master's Physical Bodies instantly collapsed, and their Primordial Spirits were directly shattered and completely dispersed. A wind blew by, carrying the bloody aura throughout the world.

"Killing Lü Yingjie is like crushing an ant." Lu Yuncong's words from many days ago now involuntarily surfaced in the ears of everyone who knew about them, chilling them like the onset of deep winter!

Wang Lin turned, looked toward the location of the Xunluan Sect, and took a step.

All four updates have been delivered. I just realized I made a mistake earlier, writing that I was in the middle of writing the third update… I broke out in a cold sweat, realizing the potential consequences. It seems I truly wrote myself into a daze. Four updates two days in a row is exhausting.

Please just treat it as floating clouds, floating clouds… I wrote nearly 500 extra characters in this chapter. Consider these free 500 characters as compensation.
