Chapter 1285: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Pursuit (Third Update)

However, the power of that finger was incredibly immense. After the Light Shadow Shield collapsed, the moment it pressed towards the Summon Wind and Rain Realm, it caused the Realm to tremble, seemingly ready to disintegrate at any moment!

The finger probed further in, pressing a massive concave shape onto the Summon Wind and Rain Realm. As it continued to deepen, the Realm trembled even more violently.

The milky white aura inside frantically resisted, attempting to counteract the finger's power!

Wang Lin rapidly retreated. His mind clearly sensed that the Summon Wind and Rain Realm could not hold out much longer. In this moment of crisis, his eyes flashed with madness, and with a wave of his right hand, a Storage Rift burst open before him.

The instant the Storage Rift appeared, the Summon Wind and Rain Realm rapidly shrank and fully entered Wang Lin's body. With this, the finger had no further obstruction and pressed directly toward Wang Lin's glabella!

But the moment it arrived, following a low roar from Wang Lin, the massive Ancient God Finger Bone suddenly emerged from the Storage Rift, blocking his path!

The index finger of that jade-white arm pressed directly onto the Ancient God Finger Bone. A furious roar echoed at that instant, causing the surrounding starry space to tremble.

Wang Lin spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, his body retreating along with the Ancient God Finger Bone. An invisible light pierced through the Ancient God Finger Bone, shot through Wang Lin's chest, and exited his back, leaving a trail of bloody light.

The jade-white finger paused the instant it touched the Ancient God Finger Bone, as if bearing an explosive force. The finger immediately became translucent, seeming ready to dissipate.

Intense pain assaulted him. If it were anyone else, their first thought would surely be to flee, but not Wang Lin! He completely disregarded the pain. With a savage expression, seizing the moment the finger paused, he immediately raised his right hand. bloody light instantly condensed, forming the Blood Sword in his grasp, and he fiercely slashed down toward the stopped finger!

The Blood Sword flashed, falling directly onto the finger. The moment it approached, the arm lifted to grab the Blood Sword, but the instant they made contact, the Blood Sword pierced right through the arm and cut across it!

A faint, delicate groan emerged. The arm split in two and instantly dissipated into the world, as if it had never existed. Furthermore, the jade pendant in front of the woman in white exploded into fragments… The woman in white's face was pale, and she spat out another mouthful of fresh blood. Her body rapidly retreated, merging into the world and immediately fleeing!

"You won't escape!" Wang Lin's chest was bloody and mangled, and blood flowed down. Although the power of that finger was blocked by the Light Shadow Shield, the Summon Wind and Rain Realm, and the Ancient God Finger Bone, a trace still penetrated and passed through Wang Lin's chest. For an ordinary Cultivator, this strike would have caused severe injury, even if it wasn't fatal.

But Wang Lin was an Ancient God, possessing powerful regenerative abilities. In just a moment, his wound showed signs of healing. The instant the woman in white fled, Wang Lin put away all his Magic Treasures and stepped forward in pursuit.

Following the ripples created when the woman in white left, Wang Lin's body flickered, merging into the world and leaving! He pursued by tracking the residual power of those ripples!

This scene was the complete opposite of the earlier actions of the woman in white and Wang Lin. From being pursued, the situation had now reversed: the woman in white fled in panic, while Wang Lin fiercely and savagely chased after her!

"This woman's cultivation is strange. She appears to be a projection Clone, yet she possesses flesh and blood, as if she were truly real. If that is the case, she must die! If I don't take advantage of her severe injuries now to kill her, there will surely be endless trouble in the future!

Moreover, this woman definitely holds secrets. Judging by the Divine Ability she just used, she clearly summoned the power of her True Body. If my Blue Silk Clan Divine Ability hadn't grown stronger, I would have certainly died in this battle! She is more familiar with the Primordial Stars than I am. I must kill her quickly! Otherwise, if she escapes to a place I cannot pursue, all my efforts will have been wasted!"

While pursuing, Wang Lin continuously merged into the world, fiercely hunting her down within the Primordial Stars!

Within the Primordial Stars, in a certain area of starry space, ripples echoed, and the woman in white stumbled out. A rarely seen look of panic crossed her expression, and she was about to leave the area with a spatial shift.

But immediately, her expression changed. Gritting her teeth, she stopped shifting and instead continued to merge into the world and quickly depart. The instant she left, ripples appeared in the starry space where she had been, and Wang Lin's figure flickered within them. He did not materialize, but instead subtly stepped forward, disappearing again.

The chase between the two was extremely brief. In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn halfway, they had already intersected several times, and the intervals between them were rapidly shortening. The woman in white was anxious; Wang Lin's bone-deep pursuit placed immense pressure on her.

This would have been impossible before, but now, the anxiety in her heart was only increasing!

"Three more shifts, and I'll be safe, only three!" The woman in white appeared in a section of starry space. Her face was pale. Just as she appeared and was about to shift away again, the moment ripples appeared beneath her feet, the surrounding world instantly shook. Endless bolts of lightning arrived amidst continuous rumbling, forming a massive Vortex around her, stirring up the power of the world and forcibly interrupting the woman in white's departure!

Her expression changed drastically. Wang Lin stepped out from the Void Realm, his expression cold. Upon appearing, without a word, he waved his right hand. Instantly, clouds and mist permeated the starry space, transforming once again into the world, forming the Sky-Overturning Seal!

Reversing straight down, the world layers overlapped, emitting a roaring sound. The woman in white, trapped within the world, spat out blood and rapidly retreated. But the instant she backed away, bloody light flashed behind her, piercing directly through the woman's back!

Amidst her scream, the woman's white clothes became stained with blood. Massive distortions appeared outside her body. Within these distortions, countless flickering images faintly emerged!

In the images, a woman knelt on the ground, and a jade-white hand extended from the Void in front of her, pressing onto her glabella.

In just a moment, these distorted images collapsed. An extremely dense milky white aura emerged from above the woman's crown. This aura was almost substantial, and faintly visible within it was a golden thread!

Wang Lin was no stranger to this milky white aura; it was Disciple Incense Power!

But the density of this woman's Disciple Incense Power greatly astonished him. The Incense Power of this one woman alone was nearly thirty percent of the total within Wang Lin's Summon Wind and Rain Realm!

The milky white aura permeated the woman's crown. The wound where the Blood Sword had pierced her instantly stopped bleeding. Her body rapidly retreated, and wrapped in the milky white aura, she disregarded the surrounding primordial energy turbulence, merging into the world once more and vanishing instantly!

"If this woman could become a soul within my Summon Wind and Rain Realm…" Wang Lin's heart stirred. The instant the woman in white departed, his body flickered, and he vanished almost simultaneously, resuming the chase!

Within the Primordial Stars, in the Northwest Star Domain, there was a cluster of Cultivation Planets, the dwelling place of the Demon Scorpion Clan. The Demon Scorpion Clan was not a major clan in the Primordial Stars, but its reputation for brutality was known to all!

At this moment, outside a Cultivation Planet within the Demon Scorpion Clan Star Domain, ripples echoed in the starry space. The woman in white, looking weak, stepped out. Blood constantly spilled from the corner of her mouth. Upon appearing, she did not hesitate, preparing to shift away again.

"Two more times! After two more shifts, I will reach that place, and there will be no more danger!!"

But the instant she prepared to shift away, bloody light shot up into the sky, piercing out from the Void and heading straight for the woman's glabella. The killing intent was earth-shattering. The Blood Sword was too fast; the woman in white had no time to dodge, much less shift!

In this crisis, the milky white aura above her crown exploded outward, blocking her path and colliding with the Blood Sword with a bang.

The Blood Sword pierced through the milky white aura, but its direction was altered within it, passing through the woman's right shoulder!

Amidst the shriek, the woman's body rapidly retreated, staring venomously ahead. Her entire right arm was now useless. Just then, Wang Lin stepped out from the Void Realm, his right hand making a fierce grabbing motion toward the woman!

"Where do you think you're going to run!!"

He was about to seize the woman from the Void, but at that moment, the woman bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The blood merged with the milky white aura outside her body, instantly unleashing an earth-shattering roar, and a wave of shock spread wildly!

Under the impact, the woman's body was instantly flung away, dodging Wang Lin's grasping power, and shot straight toward the Cultivation Planet below!

At the same time, the woman let out a piercing shriek!

"Where is the Demon Scorpion Clan? I am one of Consort Lan's Clones!! I command you to quickly block this person!"

The moment her voice spread, the aura of Cultivators immediately erupted from the Cultivation Planet below. In an instant, thousands of Cultivators actually flew out from the planet!

As soon as these Cultivators appeared, they immediately rushed toward Wang Lin in the starry space without hesitation, blocking his path. This allowed the woman in white to take out a Medicinal Pill and swallow it. She shot Wang Lin a venomous glance, and with a flicker of her body, she prepared to shift away again.

How could Wang Lin allow her to flee? With a wave of his right hand, his body suddenly swelled dramatically, transforming into his thousand-zhang Ancient God True Body in the blink of an eye. He charged forward fiercely, raising his right hand, clenching his fist, and striking violently across the crowd toward the Void Realm ahead!

With that single strike, the world boomed. The entire starry space seemed on the verge of collapse. A massive Rift suddenly appeared, extending infinitely with hissing sounds, as if the starry space had been ripped open!

The instant the Rift appeared, the woman in white, who had already merged into the world, was forcibly expelled by the Rift. Her face was pale as she retreated.

As Wang Lin charged forward, the Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures of the thousands of Cultivators arrived and bombarded him, but Wang Lin didn't spare them a glance. As he advanced, the light of everything in the world and the starry space instantly gathered, suddenly transforming into a Light Shadow outside his thousand-zhang body!

Every Divine Ability and Magic Treasure was violently reflected outward the moment it struck the Light Shadow!

Under this reflection, Wang Lin resembled a thousand-zhang figure of light. Screams continuously erupted around him as he advanced, caused by the Cultivators who were injured by their own reflected Divine Abilities, and some were even instantly shattered by Wang Lin's sheer physical charge!

In a flash, Wang Lin was upon her. He raised his right hand and punched toward the retreating woman in white below!

I haven't checked the monthly votes; I wonder how many there are now. I'll continue writing the third update! I hope I won't be too disappointed when I look after finishing Chapter Four.
