Chapter 1231: Peak of the Cloud Sea

Time was like a death-dealing blade hanging in the sky, descending upon Wang Lin at an extremely fast speed. Only two days remained!

At this moment, surrounding the place where Wang Lin was located, there were nearly one hundred Barren Continents. These continents were arranged in a strange manner, containing a force of heaven and earth, with rules faintly manifesting.

Especially with Wang Lin and the Silver-Robed Woman having cast the three great Restrictions to envelop these nearly one hundred continents. The three great Restrictions fused to form a world-destroying storm, but it did not erupt. Instead, Wang Lin constantly compressed, compressed, and compressed it again. In the end, the hundreds of Barren Continents around him had been forcibly refined by him using the three great Restrictions into a gigantic Formation Magic Treasure!

Back then, Yan Leizi had borrowed fragments of the Thunder Immortal Realm to refine a heaven-reaching Magic Treasure. Although Wang Lin was inferior to the Yan Leizi of the past in terms of Formation Materials, in terms of Divine Ability, he was on par, and even due to the existence of the three great Restrictions, there were faint signs of surpassing him.

Even if Yan Leizi were to fight Wang Lin now, he would surely be defeated!

These nearly one hundred Barren Continents emitted a thunderous might, but under Wang Lin's compression and condensation, they slowly hid themselves. He did not arrogantly believe that this would allow him to deceive the Third Step expert who wanted to kill him; rather, he intended to use this concealment and condensation to gather momentum. Once it reached a certain level, he would unleash the most powerful eruption!

Throughout Wang Lin's life of battles and life-and-death struggles, he had rarely made such frantic preparations in a short period of time as he was doing now. With every extra bit of preparation, his chance of surviving the battle would increase by a fraction.

This time, Wang Lin had deduced that a Third Step expert wanted to kill him. He had almost no possibility of survival. If it were not for the fact that he was Wang Lin, if it were any other Cultivator, their mind would have collapsed by now, despair would have set in, and it would be very difficult for them to produce any resistance. After all, it seemed that all resistance would be reduced to dust under that Third Step expert! No matter how much was done, it was useless.

But as a Heaven-Defying Cultivator, as a Royal Ancient God, his pride, his dignity, and his Heaven-Defying intent would absolutely not allow him to yield, not even to a Third Step expert!

"I can die, but it must be in battle, not humiliated and left to be slaughtered. If you want to kill me, you must pay a price!" Wang Lin's eyes were bloodshot. Five consecutive days of preparation had brought his Battle Intent to its Peak. At this moment, he took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, performed Hand Seals, and fiercely waved toward his surroundings.

As he waved his hands, a blood-colored gale suddenly filled the area around Wang Lin and swept outward. With a howl, it spread to each Barren Continent in a very short time, eventually enveloping all the continents within it.

These Barren Continents possessed a vast number of Vicious Beasts. When Wang Lin had moved these continents here, he did not drive away the Vicious Beasts. Consequently, the number of Vicious Beasts on these hundreds of continents reached a terrifying figure.

"The Saint Ancestor of the Talisman Clan once taught me the art of Talismans, and later Tasan secretly told me the art of Talismans he had comprehended. These Talismans are refined using beast hide, taking the essence of the entire beast to act, transforming into Talismans, forming earth-shattering power! It's just that this technique is too shocking, requiring a vast number of living beings. I had no intention of using it, but right now, I have no choice!" A red light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, and he opened his mouth to chant an extremely complex incantation. This incantation transformed into Talismans that appeared outside his body, merged into the blood-colored storm, and instantly permeated the entire Barren Continent.

On these hundreds of continents, the Vicious Beasts trembled in the blood-colored storm, letting out shrill screams. Their flesh and blood withered rapidly, and even their bones melted completely. All the essence and blood of their bodies finally condensed onto a piece of skin on their foreheads, forming a blood-colored Talisman.

The incalculable number of Vicious Beasts let out screams at this moment that shook the heavens and the earth, spreading throughout the entire Fifth-Tier Star Domain, causing all Cultivators in the Fifth-Tier Star Domain to feel a sense of trepidation. Some with lower cultivation even experienced frequent hallucinations and could barely control their minds.

As each Vicious Beast collapsed, Talismans floated above these nearly one hundred continents, covering the sky and earth, emitting an astonishing pressure. This pressure was enough to destroy a Late Stage shattered nirvana Cultivator, causing their Physical Body to collapse in an instant, making it difficult for their Primordial Spirit to escape, leading to their death and Dao dissipation!

"Ten million Sword Qi transforming into a single finger of the sword—this is the first counterattack I have prepared for the expert who wants to kill me! The nearly one hundred Barren Continents fusing with the three great Restrictions to form a world-destroying power—this is the second counterattack I have prepared for him! The Talismans of the Talisman Clan transformed from countless Vicious Beasts, containing the power to destroy the earth—this is the third counterattack!" The countless Origin Crystals piled up outside Wang Lin's body, as he circulated and absorbed their origin energy, collapsed with a boom, losing all their origin energy and dissipating into the world.

"These three killing moves would ensure death even for those undergoing the Heaven-Man Five Decay! But this is not the limit of my two thousand years of Dao cultivation!" For this battle, Wang Lin had exhausted everything. At this moment, he took a deep breath, grabbed at the void with his right hand, and a Storage Rift immediately appeared, from which a bolt of lightning suddenly flew out.

As soon as this lightning appeared, a roar was emitted—it was the Thunder Beast formed after the God-Slaying Chariot had its Seal opened! As soon as this beast appeared, Wang Lin waved his right hand forward. With a series of bangs, the Thunder Beast, which had been adorned with strange objects by Yan Leizi, shook its body, and all the decorations collapsed, restoring its majestic posture from back then.

Roar! The Thunder Beast let out a roar toward the sky, its body swayed, and its eyes shone with a piercing light, revealing unprecedented gravity. It was already spiritually connected and naturally knew of Wang Lin's life-and-death crisis at this moment.

"This God-Slaying Chariot that has transformed into a Thunder Beast still has several Seals on it. If it were my usual cultivation, I would be unable to open them, but right now, I can!" Wang Lin took a deep breath and blew forward fiercely.

A gale immediately whistled out from his mouth and landed on the Thunder Beast, causing the beast's body to tremble violently, with cracking sounds coming from within its body, as if a mirror were shattering.

"This second God-Slaying Chariot, open all Seal powers!" Wang Lin's eyes snapped open, revealing two cold beams of light that fell upon the God-Slaying Chariot along with the whistling gale. He even spat out a mouthful of blood, which fell with it.

The Thunder Beast let out a painful roar, its body suddenly expanding rapidly. The Seals on its body also rapidly collapsed at this instant, opening one by one, and finally, all were opened!

This God-Slaying Chariot, which had not yet dominated the Immortal Realm back then before being buried with the collapse of the Immortal Realm, was, at this moment, revealed to the world!

As the Thunder Beast's body expanded, in an instant, the Thunder Beast transformed into thousands of zhang in height, and its body changed rapidly. Its lower body squirmed, transforming into a gigantic heaven and earth war chariot! Its upper body changed drastically, forming a gigantic spear about ten thousand zhang long. This spear connected to the war chariot, emitting endless thunder and lightning, and appeared in front of Wang Lin!

An earth-shattering aura erupted crazily from the war chariot, rushing toward Wang Lin and causing Wang Lin's breath to hitch! Even the earth trembled, and the nearly one hundred Barren Continents surrounded by the three great Restrictions vibrated as well.

"Only like this does it deserve to be called a God-Slaying Chariot!" A sharp light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He waved his right hand, and the gigantic God-Slaying Chariot immediately landed firmly on the ground to Wang Lin's left. The ten-thousand-zhang spear on it, carrying a cold and murderous aura, pointed straight at the sky!

Wang Lin grabbed with his right hand again, and five-colored butterflies immediately flew out from the Storage Rift, flapping their wings and circling outside Wang Lin's body. Around the butterflies, there were also blood swallows accompanying them.

"This third God-Slaying Chariot must be the strongest! Even now, I cannot open all the Seals on it, but except for that last one, I am confident in opening the rest!" Wang Lin performed Hand Seals with both hands and pointed forward, and more blood oozed out, falling onto the butterflies.

Suddenly, the butterflies' bodies trembled, as if even the flapping of their wings stopped. Gradually, around them, a gigantic cocoon actually appeared!

This cocoon was the same as the one from the butterfly breaking event back then. The moment it appeared, endless heaven and earth origin energy crazily condensed toward it. Even Wang Lin's internal origin energy was being rapidly absorbed by it.

As it absorbed origin energy, the cocoon grew larger and larger, eventually reaching a size of one thousand zhang, standing tall in the world.

Wang Lin closed his eyes, continuously taking out Origin Crystals, and further absorbing the force of heaven and earth to replenish. Gradually, the cocoon stopped growing, but the aura within it became sharper and sharper.

Time passed slowly, and after one day!

The cocoon floating in the world collapsed with a boom, forming countless waves of air that pushed crazily toward the surroundings. Even Wang Lin was forcibly blown thousands of zhang away, a look of wild joy appearing in his eyes.

With the collapse of the cocoon, a war chariot of several hundred zhang in size, flashing with seven-colored light all over its body, was revealed inside! This war chariot had no spear, but instead had seven ferocious, hundred-zhang sharp spikes on it. The force of heaven and earth was constantly being absorbed by it, and slowly, on those seven sharp spikes, a seven-colored radiance manifested.

It landed with a boom. As Wang Lin moved forward, this war chariot and the previous spear war chariot lined up on Wang Lin's left and right!

"These two God-Slaying Chariots are the fourth counterattack I have prepared! It's a pity there isn't enough time; otherwise, if I had been given some more time, I might have been able to prepare a few more!" Wang Lin looked up at the sky in silence. Only one day remained!

Only twelve hours remained!

He calculated through deduction that after twelve hours, the person who wanted to kill him would arrive. The life-and-death crisis was about to unfold!

"My final preparation is to extract the blood rust on the broken Iron Sword within these twelve hours!" Wang Lin swept his right hand in front of him, and immediately, the two broken pieces of the Iron Sword flew out from the Storage Rift.

Even if the Iron Sword were repaired, it would not be enough to resist this killing tribulation, and Wang Lin had no intention of repairing it; there was simply no time. What he wanted was the bloodstain on the Iron Sword!

"I cannot discern the origins of this bloodstain, but I can feel that it contains an unimaginable power. It is similar to the blood of an Ancient God, yet at the same time, it is not. It is even somewhat similar to the Heavenly Dao blood mentioned by the Azure Dragon Saint Emperor." Wang Lin fell silent and suddenly opened his mouth, emitting a suction force that enveloped the two Iron Swords, swallowing them directly into his mouth to begin refining them within his Primordial Spirit!
