Chapter 1268: Peak of the Cloud Sea – Related

The Heaven-Severing Great Law of Spirit Devouring and Body Consuming focused on annihilating everything and using all spirits for one's own purposes. Amidst a rumbling sound, the old man's body suddenly disintegrated. His flesh and blood, strangely, did not scatter but rapidly ignited, instantly turning into ashes.

Mist spread from where the old man had disintegrated, and as it swirled, Wang Lin's figure emerged. His complexion was ruddy, but a faint black line subtly coiled between his brows.

After appearing, he did not pause. His body flickered, and he rushed into this Cultivation Planet. Wherever he passed, any Cultivators were engulfed by black mist that surged into their bodies. Amidst their screams, their Physical Bodies withered, and all their flesh and blood dissipated, absorbed by Wang Lin as he moved.

Moments later, almost all the Outer Realm Cultivators on this entire Cultivation Planet were annihilated. The black mist emanating from Wang Lin's body was already overwhelming, forming demonic flames. He floated in mid-air, raising his left hand and fiercely grasping downwards at the earth.

"Extract the Power of the Star Soul!"

With a boom, the entire Cultivation Planet trembled violently. Waves of ancient Qi surged out frantically, as if it had been forcibly awakened from a deep slumber.

Streaks of white smoke continuously dispersed from within the Cultivation Planet, heading straight for Wang Lin's left hand, forming a fist-sized,絮状气团 in his palm.

Inside, the smoke was ethereal, as if it contained the Star Domain.

Holding this Star Soul Qi mass, the overwhelming black mist outside Wang Lin's body enveloped him, and in a single step, he vanished from the Cultivation Planet.

In the Star Domain, Wang Lin merged with heaven and earth, speeding forward. Along the way, whenever he encountered a Cultivation Planet, he would immediately rush in, devour, and then extract its Star Soul. Gradually, seven Star Soul Qi masses were already floating around Wang Lin's body.

Rumbling sounds accompanied his journey, shaking the heavens, and an ancient aura permeated the Star Domain!

Gradually, his Primordial Spirit injuries had recovered. His entire body, with the sole exception of the wound on his chest caused by the Heaven-Opening Giant Axe, still occasionally oozed blood. Other than that, he was mostly fine.

Even that wound showed signs of healing under Wang Lin's endless devouring, but a trace of the Heaven-Opening Giant Axe's Qi always lingered within it, making the healing slow.

"If I don't force out this axe-light, the time required for this wound to heal will be extremely long!" As he journeyed through the Star Domain, a cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, and he looked towards the distant, dazzling Star Domain.

"To force out the axe-light, merely absorbing the flesh and blood of these ordinary Outer Realm Cultivators is no longer enough. Only by absorbing the Power of the Ancient God… In these Primordial Stars, I only know of one place where the Power of the Ancient God exists!

That is the Moon Slave Clan!" Wang Lin's eyes flickered. With a cold snort, he stepped into the Void Realm, and his entire being immediately shifted and disappeared, rushing towards the Star Domain where the Moon Clan was located in his memory.

The Moon Clan was filled with powerful individuals, and many Old Monsters who had lived for countless tens of thousands of years. It was truly a Dragon's Den and a Tiger's Lair, with dangers at every step! But Wang Lin had another plan. Through his previous devouring outside the Boundary, he knew that within these past few years, the Moon Clan was still intact and had not been destroyed by Tuosen.

"Since Tuosen is relentlessly pursuing me, I might as well lead him into the Moon Clan. At that time, we'll see how the Moon Clan resists!" The cold light in Wang Lin's eyes grew denser. As he moved forward, he merged with heaven and earth, disappearing without a trace in a few breaths.

The location of the Moon Clan was extremely far from Wang Lin's current position, and he had never been there. He only knew from the memories of those Cultivators and the Moon Clan members from the Seven-Colored Realm back then that it was impossible to reach in one 'Shrinking the Ground into an Inch' teleportation; it would require several attempts.

As he sped along, Wang Lin had no time to observe the scenery of these Primordial Stars. This place was different from the Star Domain Within the Boundary. The Star Domain Within the Boundary, even at its most brilliant, always seemed to have a faint, hazy feeling, as if everything was transformed into a membrane by some force, like being in a cage.

This was something that one would simply not notice if they had never been to the Outer Realm, only believing that heaven and earth should inherently be this way.

To the Outer Realm Cultivators, the Boundary was a cage, containing what they coveted. And because of the existence of this cage, the Outer Realm Cultivators could endlessly use the Boundary Formation to launch one plan after another against the Boundary.

Whether it was planting the Seven-Colored Dao Fruit, or the collapse of the Immortal Realm, or burying hidden lines, everything, invisibly, greatly weakened the power Within the Boundary.

It was incredibly difficult for those Within the Boundary to come out, but for those from the Outer Realm to enter, it was not difficult. Whether it was the Venerable Master, or the Ancient Devil and Ancient Demon who ambushed Qing Lin back then, all came from the Outer Realm. Their entry into the Boundary Formation seemed to have no obstacles, possessing special methods. This method was bestowed by the Outer Realm's Ancient Immortal Domain.

All of this was heard by Wang Lin from the Boundary Lord. He further knew that the Boundary Formation not only sealed the beings Within the Boundary but also the power of heaven and earth!

The heaven and earth origin energy Within the Boundary seemed infinite, but in reality, it became scarcer and scarcer as time passed. The Outer Realm, on the other hand, was boundless!

Furthermore, what most shook Wang Lin's heart was that the Boundary Formation not only sealed the heaven and earth origin energy, but also, due to its existence, caused the number of Third Step Cultivators Within the Boundary to be extremely scarce. For countless years, some Prodigies who had already birthed their Origin and only needed their Origin to reach Major Achievement to step into the Third Step, mostly due to the Boundary Formation, were unable to achieve Major Achievement of their Origin their entire lives, and could only perish.

All of this was the Power of Incense. To become a Third Step mighty figure, Incense was the most crucial point! Even those mighty figures who had become Third Step had to choose to seclude themselves in slumber due to the Boundary Formation, to prevent their Origin from dissipating!

Due to the Boundary Formation, there was no Power of Incense at all Within the Boundary. Even if artificially created, it would be instantly absorbed by the Boundary Formation!

To possess the Power of Incense needed to sustain and strengthen one's Origin without withering, one would have to go to the Outer Realm, or become a hidden agent of the Outer Realm, such as… Daoist Shui!

The four Third Step Realms of nirvana void, Empty Spirit, Empty Profound, and Empty Tribulation—nirvana void was somewhat better, but to reach the cultivation of Empty Spirit was extremely difficult, almost… impossible. As for Empty Profound, it was even more out of reach.

When the Boundary Lord descended back then, the first problem he solved was that of the Power of Incense. Thus, under his Divine Ability, he organized the Four Immortal Realms, using this as a covenant, intending to resist the Boundary Formation's absorption of the Power of Incense.

The Boundary Lord possessed immense Divine Ability and wisdom. Under his integration, everything was developing favorably. Even the Power of Incense was forcefully prevented from being absorbed by the Boundary Formation through the Four Immortal Realms.

However, all of this ultimately came to ruin. The people of the Outer Realm would never allow this change to occur Within the Boundary. Before that catastrophe, the Boundary Lord was ambushed by Daoist Shui, severely wounded and almost killed by the Venerable Master and several other Venerables, plus a few renegades from the Outer Realm's Ancient Immortal Domain who joined forces! Bai Fan pointed to the sky in madness, Qing Lin's mind was torn apart by the Venerable Master's daughter, Concubine Fu, and then he was hunted by the Ancient Devil and Ancient Demon.

The Cloud and Flash Realms were even more so!

Everything was utterly destroyed, making the Cultivators Within the Boundary prisoners for all eternity, unable to obtain true heaven and earth!

Repeatedly assaulting the Boundary Formation was precisely to break open this cage!

The Outer Realm's Primordial Stars had never launched large-scale wars against the Boundary. They were merely continuously weakening the power Within the Boundary, always waiting. When the power Within the Boundary weakened to its extreme, they would launch a thunderous strike!

Break into the Formation, destroy the Boundary, find the Heaven-Reaching Gate, and go to the Ancient Immortal Domain Within the Boundary!

This day is not far off; it's very, very close!

The current Boundary, after countless years of weakening, has reached its most vulnerable state. This day, which the Outer Realm has been waiting for for a very long time, is steadily approaching!

It was precisely because he perceived all of this that the Boundary Lord sent Wang Lin into the Dao Realm and helped him leave the Boundary. His purpose was to allow Wang Lin to gain enough Power of Incense in the Outer Realm to strengthen his cultivation and reach the Third Step!

The Boundary Lord naturally saw the five Origins on Wang Lin's body. Although his expression was normal at the time, the shock in his heart was earth-shattering. He didn't say it, but it was precisely because of these five Origins that he decided to designate Wang Lin as his successor! To lead the Boundary in resisting the Outer Realm's attacks, and even… to break out of the Outer Realm!

He even chose to integrate himself into the Boundary Formation. His purpose was to use his last ounce of strength to make this Boundary Formation an object of the Boundary, to prevent Outer Realm invasion when the Boundary needed to recuperate, and to open the Boundary Formation when the Cultivators Within the Boundary wanted to counterattack!

Regardless of whether he could ultimately achieve it, his life earned Wang Lin's respect!

"This place does not belong to me… I come from… Within the Boundary…" Withdrawing his gaze from the distant Star Domain of the Primordial Stars, Wang Lin's eyes grew even more resolute.

He was about to continue merging with heaven and earth in his stride, but he suddenly changed expression, sharply looking behind him. With a flicker of his eyes, he directly disappeared into the Star Domain.

The moment his figure vanished, a thunderous roar echoed through the Star Domain. A massive rift tore open out of thin air, and Tuosen, with bloodshot eyes, sped out.

Behind him, three long rainbows whistled, which were the three Third Step mighty figures from the Primordial Stars who were relentlessly pursuing Tuosen!

Tuosen's roar reverberated through the Star Domain. The ten years of pursuit by those three Third Step mighty figures made him extremely furious. If it weren't for the third person, who was at the Empty Spirit Realm, he would never have fled. However, just thinking of that Empty Spirit Realm mighty figure would enrage Tuosen.

Although he acted recklessly, he was not lacking in intelligence. He naturally saw that these three pursuing him like this definitely had a purpose! But now, just as he intended to pursue and devour Wang Lin, the three's entanglement became even more intense, causing Tuosen's anger to reach its Peak.

"If I don't repel these three, even if I catch up to Wang Lin, I won't have a chance to devour him!" Tuosen rushed out of the rift, a monstrous cold light in his eyes. He glanced in the direction where Wang Lin had disappeared, then abruptly turned. His body instantly swelled countless times, becoming a Heaven-Reaching Ancient God!

"You three have entangled this god for ten years, merely waiting for this god to be exhausted. Now, this god gives you a chance!" Tuosen's voice shook the heavens and earth, causing the Star Domain to tremble. As he turned, he took a step and charged straight towards the three who had emerged from the rift!
