Chapter 1304: Peak of the Cloud Sea, the End of the World

Chapter 1304: Peak of the Cloud Sea, the End of the World (Second Update)

Wang Lin's heart trembled. Listening to the other's words, he felt a rare sense of admiration for a person. This person's natural talent had already surpassed every Cultivator Wang Lin had ever encountered in his life!

Whether it was Hong Die, Li Qianmei, or even Situ Nan, compared to this person's talent, they were all inferior! Furthermore, they lacked this person's determination to break through everything to seek the truth!

"I broke through the cage and saw the world beyond the sky for the first time… It was the starry sky, very beautiful, so beautiful… My guess had become reality… I saw Cultivators just like me, but their cultivation was very weak… The weakest were actually only at the Soul Transformation stage…

Yet even this Soul Transformation Cultivator could become an Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, call themselves an Immortal, and descend with a Heavenly Tribulation to kill my clansmen! In my anger, I began a slaughter. With each slaughter, I learned the whole truth from those I killed!

"The truth!" The bald youth laughed loudly, tears streaming from his eyes.

"The truth is that the place where I live is called the Seven Million Worlds. It was set up by a clan called the Flashing Thunder Clan. We are like livestock kept in captivity, whipped by the Flashing Thunder Clan using the Heavenly Dao whip. When we reach the Soul Transformation stage, they descend with a Heavenly Tribulation to harvest the Thunder of Spiritual Thought!

I even learned that for countless years before me, the many tales passed down by the ancestors of the Seven Million Worlds who achieved Immortal Ascension were all fake!! All fake!! They were already dead; at the very moment of their Immortal Ascension, their bodies and souls had already been destroyed!!

This is the Immortal Realm, and these are the Immortals!"

The bald youth's voice was filled with madness, and a monstrous resentment permeated the air. Wang Lin remained silent, his feelings becoming even more complex.

"The Heavenly Dao and Heavenly Tribulation, which we viewed with such reverence, were merely a task for the members of the Flashing Thunder Clan—a task that anyone in their clan could accept! It is laughable that even then, I was unwilling to believe all of this was true. I didn't even dare to slaughter too many of those Flashing Thunder Clan members…

I was scared, I was terrified, and I even learned that the Cultivator who had spared me during the Heavenly Tribulation back then had already become a Grand Elder of the Flashing Thunder Clan… I was afraid that the Flashing Thunder Clan would discover that I knew everything, and I feared this Immortal Realm that had pressed down upon me for countless years, pressing down upon the Seven Million Worlds for countless years…

I… I didn't dare to resist…" Tears streamed continuously from the bald youth's eyes. That memory was the pain of his entire life.

"I even told myself that all of this was still not real, that the world I lived in was not a cage. I wanted to escape… to escape all the truths I had discovered. So, I kept flying into the distance, traveling through this starry sky, through these Seven Million Worlds, just like now…" The bald youth took a step with a bitter expression, crossing through various worlds.

"Until one day, I arrived here…" The bald youth slowly stopped, looked at Wang Lin, and raised his right hand to point ahead!

In this not-too-long period, the bald youth had already traversed the Seven Million Worlds. The place his right hand pointed to was still the starry sky, but it was shrouded in mist, appearing blurry.

It was extremely quiet here, without a sound.

The bald youth walked forward but stopped before the mist. He placed his right hand on it and pressed lightly. Immediately, the mist began to churn violently, and as it swirled rapidly, a blinding light flashed intensely from the starry sky ahead.

At the same time, ripples echoed. Behind that light, a massive barrier slowly revealed itself. This barrier was like a wall, towering without end, filling the heavens and the earth!

Before it, a Cultivator was as tiny as dust.

"I escaped to here, arriving at the end of the Seven Million Worlds, the end of the world… Here, all my thoughts of escape completely collapsed and shattered. I could no longer avoid facing reality, facing all those truths!" the youth said softly.

"I no longer escape. I chose to face it, I chose to resist! I returned to the Seven Million Worlds and formed the Spirit Scattering Sect. Every Clone is Venerable San Ling, spreading the philosophy of my sect and controlling the vast majority of Cultivators within the Seven Million Worlds!

I taught them the fastest Cultivation Technique I had realized to reach the Soul Transformation stage, and I began to Cultivate frantically—Clone, Clone, Clone. Today, tens of thousands of years later, my cultivation has reached what you Immortals call the Fourth Heavenly Decay!" The youth turned to look at Wang Lin.

"I want to kill Immortals, I want to overthrow the Flashing Thunder Clan, I want to take my clansmen and walk out of here!! But in these tens of thousands of years, despite my constant cultivation and the power I have accumulated, I still cannot defeat that Grand Elder who is at the fifth heavenly decay…

I have risked everything, risked all the Cultivators I have trained. We all attacked together, and even with the massive life-force Formation that had been set up for tens of thousands of years, my analysis shows we could only severely injure him! We could not kill him! Not to mention the other Elders of the Flashing Thunder Clan…

Moreover, my cultivation has reached its limit; I cannot reach or withstand the death tribulation of the fifth heavenly decay! I need your help!" The bald youth's gaze fell upon Wang Lin, revealing a plea.

"You are different from those Flashing Thunder Clan members. You are the first person who has given me hope. With your cultivation, you can help me. I can see that you also have no good feelings toward the Flashing Thunder Clan. If you and I work together, it will be beneficial for both of us!"

Wang Lin was silent.

"I followed you all the way and saw that you were collecting the Thunder of Spiritual Thought. I have this thunder! If you agree to join forces, I can give you all the Thunder of Spiritual Thought!" the youth said through gritted teeth.

Wang Lin still did not speak; he only looked up at the barrier at the end of the world, revealing a sense of confusion.

"Besides, there are countless Cultivators of my clan in these Seven Million Worlds. If this succeeds and my clan can escape from here, then in the future, if you have any requests, I can agree to anything. Even if I am no longer here, my clan will continue this, obeying your commands from generation to generation!

I know from the memories of those Flashing Thunder Clan members that in your worlds, there is a distinction between the Inner Realm and the Outer Realm. If you need it, my entire clan can help you fight against the Inner Realm!"

"How much certainty do you have?" After a long time, Wang Lin spoke slowly.

"If you join forces with me, I have seven tenths certainty!" The bald youth's eyes flashed, and after pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice.

"Seven tenths…" Wang Lin was silent. He withdrew his gaze from the barrier at the end, a strange light appearing in his eyes, and slowly nodded!

The bald youth's expression showed excitement. He looked deeply at Wang Lin and laughed loudly.

"Good! I will slaughter all the Flashing Thunder Clan Cultivators here right now. This way, it will attract the attention of the Flashing Thunder Clan, and that Grand Elder will definitely come!"

"There is no need for that. If all the Flashing Thunder Clan Cultivators here die, even if the Flashing Thunder Clan notices and sends people to investigate, it will definitely not be just the Grand Elder. If several Elders come, it will be troublesome.

If you have a way to let me enter here freely, I can go and lure that Grand Elder here alone! Once he dies, the great matter will be accomplished!" Wang Lin's expression was calm as he looked at the bald youth.

The bald youth was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"I can destroy twenty percent of my Clones to condense a spiritual talisman. With this talisman, combined with my casting from here, I can let you open a passage to this place from the outside, with only a three-breath window. This passage cannot be used to leave, but entering is possible." As the bald youth said this, he did not hesitate and suddenly closed his eyes.

The moment he closed his eyes, tens of thousands of Cultivators within the Seven Million Worlds trembled in their meditation, their Physical Bodies collapsing with a boom. As they turned into flesh and blood, everything within them quickly dissipated into the Void Realm.

All of this happened in an instant. The bald youth's face was slightly pale. He raised his right hand to perform Hand Seals, and using a strange method, he condensed all the power from those tens of thousands of Clones within the Void Realm. A moment later, a blood-colored spiritual talisman appeared in his hand and he handed it to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin took it, examined it carefully, cupped his fists toward the youth, turned, took a step, and vanished without a trace!

"Wait for my news!"

Wang Lin's voice echoed and gradually dissipated.

The bald youth looked at the place where Wang Lin had left, remained silent for a long time, and muttered, "I have to trust him… I can only trust him…"

In the starry sky, Wang Lin sped away. His eyes flickered, revealing deep thought. He did not fully believe the bald youth's words; this was just his nature, which was why he had demanded the spiritual talisman. With his cultivation, he naturally knew that opening such a Sealed world required no simple amount of power. Seeing that the other party had made a decision in just a moment and sacrificed so much to exchange for the spiritual talisman, it could be considered a display of sincerity.

The reason he was willing to agree to this matter was, firstly, to kill the Grand Elder of the Flashing Thunder Clan. More importantly, he wanted to help these people. It was a feeling; he wanted to break something, wanted to let these people walk out, to prove something…

Along the way, Wang Lin moved at high speed, traveling through the starry sky, heading straight for the central plaza. Before long, the central plaza appeared at the end of his gaze. With a single step, he crossed countless distances and stepped onto the central plaza.

Ignoring the gazes of the people around him as he arrived rapidly, Wang Lin's body flickered and he vanished from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was already outside a towering grand hall.

This was the place to leave the Seven Million Worlds and return to the Flashing Thunder Clan!

Beside the grand hall was a massive Formation. At this moment, the Formation was running, with dozens of figures faintly visible inside. Seeing that the Formation was about to start teleporting, there were several Flashing Thunder Clan members outside the Formation responsible for operating it.

Wang Lin's figure appeared instantly. He didn't even glance at them, stepping directly into the Teleportation Formation.

"Stop!! The Formation is in operation; wait for the next batch!" one of the Flashing Thunder Clan Cultivators responsible for operating the Formation immediately shouted in a low voice.

But before their shouts had even faded, Wang Lin tore forward with his right hand. With a heaven-shaking roar, the operating Formation was forcibly torn open, creating a gap. With a single step, Wang Lin thundered into the Formation.

This scene caused the expressions of the few Cultivators outside the Formation to change drastically, their eyes revealing horror. Even the dozens of people inside the Formation preparing to teleport erupted in an uproar, revealing shock!

The Formation's light flickered, and everyone inside, including Wang Lin, completely vanished without a trace.
