Chapter 1335: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Chapters 1376-1377: Dare to Fight! (Two-in-one)

third heavenly and mortal decay!

Whether in the Inner Realm or Outer Realm, whether in any clan or sect, a Cultivator at the third heavenly and mortal decay cultivation level is strong enough to be a powerhouse, and few dare to provoke them. Their status is extremely noble, and they enjoy immense power.

In the Inner Realm, if an eighth-rank sect in the Cloud Sea has a Cultivator at the third heavenly and mortal decay, they are considered a Peak figure. Even in a ninth-rank sect, Cultivators at the third heavenly and mortal decay are not numerous.

Overall, the strength of the Inner Realm is far inferior to that of the Outer Realm. The old man who appeared before Wang Lin was a third heavenly and mortal decay Cultivator. As a major clan of the Primordial Stars, the Fire Sparrow Clan was qualified to send a third heavenly and mortal decay clansman to be the leader of their branch in the Land of Falling.

Even before entering this pavilion, Wang Lin had already sensed the aura of a Fire Sparrow Clan member inside, so he was not surprised by the old man's appearance.

Seeing a Fire Sparrow Clan member in this Land of Falling, a smile appeared on Wang Lin's face.

The Fire Sparrow Clan old man stepped onto the second floor, casually sat down to the side, and scrutinized Wang Lin with piercing eyes. Although he appeared calm, he was extremely vigilant.

He naturally recognized the Dark Scorpion Clan Chief behind Wang Lin and knew his cultivation. Such a person didn't even have the right to sit in front of this young man, instead standing behind him like a servant.

This subtly made Wang Lin appear mysterious and unfathomable in his eyes.

Most importantly, he couldn't discern Wang Lin's cultivation!

No matter how he spread his Divine Sense, he couldn't sense the slightest bit of cultivation aura from Wang Lin, let alone discern his clan.

Not all people from the Primordial Stars have their Clan Seal on their forehead; some powerful Divine Ability users can even hide their Clan Seal, preventing outsiders from seeing any trace.

"You said you want me to give you the Flame Fire Strange Crystal?" Wang Lin said with a half-smile, his gaze falling on the Fire Sparrow Clan old man.

The old man's mind trembled. Under Wang Lin's gaze, he subtly dared not meet his eyes. After a moment of silence, he cupped his fists and said, "The Flame Fire Strange Crystal is of great use to my Fire Sparrow Clan, this old man…"

Just as he spoke to this point, Wang Lin let out a cold snort.

This cold snort was like a million bolts of thunder exploding on the second floor of the pavilion, forming a sweeping storm. The charming woman's expression immediately changed, and she instinctively retreated several steps, her face instantly pale.

As for the Fire Sparrow Clan old man, his body trembled violently. Under the intense sound, he felt as if he had been directly struck by a million-pound carriage. His Primordial Spirit immediately shook, his pupils contracted sharply, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His entire body's flame power instantly erupted as if out of control. The chair beneath him immediately burned to ashes. Just as the flames were about to spread, Wang Lin waved his right hand, and in an instant, an invisible wind roared, sweeping towards the Fire Sparrow Clan old man.

The flames outside his body were almost immediately extinguished as soon as they spread, fiercely suppressed by this invisible wind. Some of the flames were even forcefully pushed back into the old man's body.

The old man's face instantly turned pale, and his body abruptly retreated, taking three steps back with heavy thuds. Each step left a deep footprint on the second floor of the pavilion. The footprints looked as if they had been burned by fire, pitch black, with white smoke rising.

After three steps, the old man roared, circulating his entire body's flame power to stop his retreat. But at this moment, Wang Lin's gaze coldly collided with the old man's eyes.

In an instant, the old man's mind boomed. Wang Lin's gaze, like an invisible Sharp Weapon, arrived with a roar, piercing through the old man's eyes and directly rushing into his Primordial Spirit, transforming into a destructive force. Even the old man's internal vital energy could not stop the penetration of this invisible Sharp Weapon.

His body retreated again, his eyes revealing an indescribable, monstrous terror. Outside his internal Primordial Spirit, the Sharp Weapon formed by Wang Lin's gaze arrived instantly, but instead of piercing his Primordial Spirit, it circled around the old man's Primordial Spirit and gradually vanished without a trace.

All of this happened in a flash, but for the Fire Sparrow Clan old man, it was like a nightmare, a moment between life and death.

"How dare you call yourself 'this old man' in front of me!" Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and spoke slowly.

The surroundings were silent. The charming woman gasped, her eyes looking at Wang Lin filled with immense respect, hiding a deep awe.

"This… this Junior was reckless, please Senior do not take offense, this Junior knows his mistake." The Fire Sparrow Clan old man was already drenched in sweat. These few short breaths had stirred up a huge wave in his mind. He clearly knew that if the other party had wanted to kill him just now, it would have been extremely easy.

At this moment, he no longer had any of the arrogance he had shown when he came upstairs. He stood there respectfully, not daring to find a new seat. It seemed that in front of this young man, no one was qualified to sit.

"Bring me all the Flame Fire Strange Crystals you have here," Wang Lin said casually, ignoring the Fire Sparrow Clan old man.

The charming woman bowed respectfully, took out a Jade Slip, and crushed it. The Jade Slip immediately glowed with a green light. As the woman waved it forward, the green-glowing Jade Slip flew out and landed in the wall in front of Wang Lin, merging into it.

The wall immediately began to undulate, with ripples spreading across it. Before long, the entire wall became transparent, and its interior could finally be clearly seen.

Inside the wall, amidst a myriad of colors, three white stones the size of fists floated, slowly rotating.

"Senior, my Dragon Scale Clan doesn't have many Flame Fire Strange Crystals allowed for sale. Currently, there are only these three… Originally, Fellow Daoist He came first to exchange for these three Flame Fire Strange Crystals. Since Senior also fancies them now, it puts this Junior in a difficult position," the charming woman said softly, lowering her head.

The Fire Sparrow Clan old man looked up at the three white stones inside the wall, sighed inwardly, cupped his fists, and said, "Since Senior likes them, how dare this Junior contend?"

Wang Lin's gaze swept over the wall. There were no Flame Fire Strange Crystals inside this wall; they were merely projected through Daoist Magic for viewing.

Flipping his right hand, three Medicinal Pills appeared in Wang Lin's grasp. As soon as these Medicinal Pills appeared, a flame power immediately wrapped around them, making them look like three fireballs. With a flick of Wang Lin's wrist, they flew straight towards the charming woman.

The moment the woman saw the three Medicinal Pills, her eyes gleamed. She immediately reached out to take them, and after a careful look, she exclaimed, "This… this is a Soul Pill made from the soul of a top-grade Fire Beast!"

"Are they enough to exchange for the Flame Fire Strange Crystals?" Wang Lin spoke slowly.

The charming woman took a deep breath, looked at the Medicinal Pills carefully again, and then nodded, saying, "Enough!"

Just then, the Fire Sparrow Clan old man suddenly spoke, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, may this old man take a look at these Medicinal Pills?" The old man's expression was normal as he spoke, but his heart was surging. The moment he saw the Medicinal Pills, he vaguely sensed a trace of aura within them that greatly shocked his mind.

The charming woman glanced at the Fire Sparrow Clan old man, hesitating slightly. But seeing that Wang Lin didn't speak, but instead closed his eyes as if unconcerned, she nodded and handed one Medicinal Pill to the Fire Sparrow Clan old man.

The old man took a deep breath, held the Medicinal Pill, and his Divine Sense moved sharply, merging into the Medicinal Pill. In that instant, his body trembled violently, his eyes revealing a strange light. After observing it carefully again, he immediately closed his eyes. After a long while, he opened them and returned the Medicinal Pill to the charming woman.

Although his expression seemed normal, his mind was surging with monstrous waves!

"Origin! This is the Origin of Fire! Inside this Medicinal Pill, there actually contains a trace of the Origin of Fire! This single Medicinal Pill might not be very useful to others, but to my Fire Sparrow Clan, it has an unimaginable effect! But where exactly did this Origin come from!"

Wang Lin opened his eyes, casually glanced at the Fire Sparrow Clan old man, and a barely perceptible cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he slowly spoke:

"Bring those three Crystal Stones over."

The charming woman quickly assented, took the three Medicinal Pills, and hurried downstairs. The pavilion was silent. The Fire Sparrow Clan old man remained quiet, his eyes subtly flickering, lost in thought.

Wang Lin was not in a hurry. A moment later, footsteps came from downstairs. The charming woman hurried up, but in front of her was a middle-aged man. This man wore a Daoist robe, had purple hair, and his face exuded natural authority.

The charming woman followed behind him, her expression showing respect.

As soon as this man came up, the Dark Scorpion Clan Chief behind Wang Lin's expression changed. He bent down and whispered behind Wang Lin, "Young Master of the Dragon Scale Clan. Strange, this person has noble status and rarely comes here."

The man came to the second floor, laughed heartily, didn't even glance at the Fire Sparrow Clan old man, but instead cupped his fists towards Wang Lin and smiled, "Senior, my Dragon Scale Clan will take your Medicinal Pills. Here are the three Flame Fire Strange Crystals."

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, and the three white stones immediately appeared in his hand, gently floating towards Wang Lin. After seeing Wang Lin take and put them away, the man's eyes flashed, and he smiled, "I wonder how many more of these Medicinal Pills Senior has? And are there other items you wish to exchange for?"

"I have quite a few Medicinal Pills, but I wonder what you can offer in exchange," Wang Lin said with a smile, looking at the middle-aged man.

The man paused slightly after being asked in return. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Puppets and Flame Crystals can be obtained on any Elder's main star, but my Dragon Scale Clan has three treasures! These three treasures are unique to the Dragon Scale Clan and cannot be found elsewhere.

The first treasure is the Dragon Scale Armor. This armor consists of three thousand nine hundred and eighty-two Dragon Scales, forming a set. It also contains the blood of my Dragon Scale Clan members. When combined with a Divine Ability and unleashed, it can greatly increase defense, making it impossible for ordinary Magic Treasures to break through even slightly! It can even block some Divine Abilities."

Speaking of this, the man glanced at Wang Lin and continued, "There is also a second treasure, the White Bone Dragon. This Dragon is refined from the bones of successive generations of deceased Dragon Scale Clan members. Their numbers are few, but each White Bone Dragon possesses earth-shattering power, and most importantly, they are already dead, hence they are eternally indestructible!"

"Oh? And the third treasure?" Wang Lin smiled.

Chapter 1377

The Young Master of the Dragon Scale Clan smiled slightly and slowly said, "The third treasure is the strongest item of my Dragon Scale Clan. This item is called the Dragon Collapse Pill! This Pill is not for consumption, but for exploding to injure enemies! A single Dragon Collapse Pill might not be very powerful, but after a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand, its power is infinite!

Among my Dragon Scale Clan's three treasures, except for the first, the remaining two were not created by my clan, but bestowed by Emperor Dianluo, and are unique to my Dragon Scale Clan!"

Wang Lin's eyes flashed. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I don't want the Dragon Scales or the White Bones, but I am interested in the Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pill you mentioned. Bring one over so I can take a look."

The Young Clan Chief of the Dragon Scale Clan raised his right hand and grabbed into the Void Realm. Using an unknown method, a light immediately flashed in his hand. Instantly, a white Medicinal Pill appeared in his grasp. With a flick of his wrist, the Medicinal Pill shot straight toward Wang Lin.

Wang Lin received it and glanced at it.

This Medicinal Pill contained four types of Qi. These four types of Qi were chaotically intertwined, forming a type of balance. However, once this balance was broken, it would immediately explode, possessing power comparable to a single strike from a Nirvana Scryer Cultivator.

“One Soul Pill in exchange for one hundred of these Medicinal Pills!” Wang Lin's words were decisive.

The Young Clan Chief of the Dragon Scale Clan pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering, and then nodded.

“Alright. Senior, how many Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills do you wish to exchange for?”

“Ten thousand.”

Upon hearing this, the Young Clan Chief of the Dragon Scale Clan's eyes contracted sharply. He nodded and said, “Ten thousand Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills, if detonated all at once, would be enough to threaten a Cultivator undergoing the first heavenly and mortal decay.” He raised his right hand and waved. Immediately, the pavilion was filled with radiating light. Within this light, Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills appeared instantly, gradually piling up like a small mountain.

Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, collected all the Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills, left behind one hundred Soul Pills, stood up, and departed. The Clan Chief of the Dark Scorpion Clan hurriedly followed him.

After leaving the pavilion, a cold smile appeared on Wang Lin's lips. He instructed, “You return to the Dark Scorpion Clan first. I have some private matters to attend to.”

The Clan Chief of the Dark Scorpion Clan respectfully complied, not daring to ask for the reason, and retreated far away.

Wang Lin's expression was calm as he slowly walked through the city on the Dragon Scale Clan's Cultivation Planet. He had cast his lure and was now waiting for the fish to bite.

“I directly barged into the Flashing Thunder Clan, but as for the Fire Sparrow Clan, I will make them escort me inside!” As Wang Lin walked, he suddenly paused and turned to look behind him shortly after.

“You've followed me all this way. Are you looking to die?!”

Wang Lin's voice was frigid. As it spread, ripples echoed ten zhang behind him. It was the Fire Sparrow Clan Elder stepping out, his expression extremely respectful. He bowed and clasped his fists, saying, “Senior, please calm your anger. Junior followed you here because I wish to conduct a transaction with Senior.”

Wang Lin did not speak, merely staring coldly at the Fire Sparrow Clan Elder.

Sweat beaded on the Elder's forehead. He quickly said, “Junior has a large quantity of Blazing Fire Exotic Crystals here. If Senior needs them, you can take them all. Junior only requires the Soul Pills!”

“How many Exotic Crystals do you have?” Wang Lin asked casually.

“A total of one hundred pieces, similar in size to the three Senior exchanged earlier!” The Elder's heart trembled under Wang Lin's gaze. In the short time it took to speak, the clothes on his back were already soaked with sweat.

“Bring them over,” Wang Lin said calmly.

The Elder hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and, without thinking, immediately slapped his glabella with his right hand. A ball of light blue flame instantly appeared in his hand. He waved it forward, and the flame shot straight toward Wang Lin.

After Wang Lin caught it, he immediately saw that this small ball of flame was actually similar to a Storage Pouch. Inside, there were one hundred Blazing Fire Exotic Crystals. Although they varied in size, their total value was roughly equivalent when averaged out.

Taking out one hundred Soul Pills and tossing them to the other party, Wang Lin turned around. With a single step, his figure vanished from the city.

When he reappeared, Wang Lin was already standing atop a mountain Peak at the center of the Cultivation Planet. With a wave of his right hand, the ten thousand Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills instantly appeared, densely floating all around him.

A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, and he sneered to himself, "Although Soul Pills are valuable, it's impossible for one pill to exchange for a hundred Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills, which are comparable to a Nirvana Scryer Cultivator's strike! Dragon Scale Clan, since you insist on getting involved, don't blame me for dragging innocents into the fray!"

Amidst his sneer, Wang Lin waved his right hand. Immediately, his entire cultivation roared out. The flame in his left eye instantly flared up, directly pouring out and transforming into a sea of fire that immediately enveloped the ten thousand Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills.

“Refine!” The moment Wang Lin spoke, the flames surged with blue light. Under the sweep of the flames, the ten thousand Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills immediately made popping sounds, melting instantly under the intense high temperature.

“Daoist Magic: Fusion! Everything in heaven and earth—Divine Abilities, Magic Treasures, power, or rules—all of you, fuse for me!!” Daoist Blue Dream's Divine Ability was extremely powerful and had many uses. This Daoist Magic Fusion alone provided Wang Lin immense help.

With the assistance of the flames and the Daoist Magic Fusion, the ten thousand Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills immediately began to merge. Gradually, the high temperature of the flame grew more intense.

A glittering, gold-colored Medicinal Pill, about the size of a fingernail, appeared within the sea of fire! Finally, with a grab of Wang Lin's right hand, the flames violently and rapidly contracted, all entering the Medicinal Pill and vanishing within heaven and earth.

This tiny Medicinal Pill now contained a world-destroying power. Inside it, instead of four types of Qi intertwining, there were five!

The extra one was the power of fire! Due to this, the power of the Medicinal Pill increased maniacally.

“Ten thousand pills fused into one, with not a trace of Qi dispersed. This possesses the destructive power comparable to the first heavenly and mortal decay. Especially under the Daoist Magic Fusion, changes occurred within it, and through continuous compression, it can infinitely approach the second heavenly and mortal decay! I also added the fifth power of fire, which further increases the power of this Collapse Pill, allowing it to reach the third heavenly and mortal decay!”

Wang Lin's right eye flashed. Thunder roared out, transforming into a thunder diagram that boomed and directly merged into the golden Medicinal Pill. The Medicinal Pill immediately made popping sounds and began compressing once more.

As it compressed, the colors of heaven and earth changed. Thunder permeated the area, collectively drilling into the Medicinal Pill.

“Six types of Qi, plus the Flashing Thunder Clan's Thunder Condensation Divine Ability. The power contained in this Medicinal Pill is now capable of injuring the Fourth Heavenly Decay!” Killing intent filled Wang Lin's eyes. He bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. This blood was Ancient God blood and also contained Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit essence Qi.

With a boom, it landed on the Medicinal Pill. The golden light of the Medicinal Pill immediately dimmed under the impact of the bloody light, revealing a bloody hue! This terrifying bloody hue contained Evil Qi!

“Adding my Ancient God fresh blood and essence Qi, this Medicinal Pill is sufficient to threaten the fifth heavenly decay!”

Wang Lin raised his right hand and waved again. Immediately, all the Blazing Fire Exotic Crystals he had obtained suddenly appeared, floating before him. Under the rush of the flame from Wang Lin's left eye, they immediately began to merge with each other.

“These Exotic Crystals cannot allow my Vermilion Bird to undergo its fourth Awakening, so consuming them is useless. However, if I use my control over fire, I can make them into Sharp Weapons comparable to Magic Treasures. Their destructive power will be no weaker than the Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pill I just re-refined!”

Without hesitation, Wang Lin immediately deployed the Daoist Magic Fusion. Moreover, a faint Shadow of the Vermilion Bird appeared in his left eye, making the flames even denser!

“So what if it's the fifth heavenly decay! If you truly came as a Clone, I, Wang Lin, will ensure you are extinguished here! If you are not a Clone, and you erupt with the power of the Third Step, I refuse to believe you can survive within the Land of Falling. After all, if a Third Step Divine Ability is unleashed, this Land of Falling can collapse instantly! Even if no one stops me, I'll simply escape from here. In any case, the lure for the Fire Sparrow Clan has been set, and the Fire Sparrow Clan will naturally come looking for me!”

As Wang Lin coldly snorted, the flames before him contracted, refining all the Blazing Fire Exotic Crystals and forming a dark blue Crystal Stone. Inside it contained not only the Origin power of fire but also the presence of the Shadow of the Vermilion Bird!

His killing intent intensified. Wang Lin raised his right hand and pointed his index finger toward the sky. Immediately, two deer beasts materialized upon it. As soon as they appeared, Wang Lin immediately shouted, “The broken sword stabbed into the deer bone still has one last Seal unopened. Right now, I will use the Origin of Major Achievement Thunder to see if I can open it!”

As he spoke, Wang Lin's entire body boomed with Thunder, transforming into flashes of lightning that rushed toward his index finger, forming a heaven-shaking thunder net surrounding the finger. Popping sounds wildly emanated from it.

One, two, a hundred, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, ten million Sword Qi burst forth within the thunder net, continuously climbing. Finally, with a crash, they broke through the limitation of ten million, rushing out of the thunder net and venting toward the heavens and earth.

In an instant, the entire sky was completely replaced by Sword Qi, filled with endless desolation. Ten million, twenty million… Finally, the Sword Qi stopped at thirty-nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand!

“The Seal still cannot be fully opened, but breaking open a portion has caused the might of the Sword Qi to increase exponentially. Now, it is time to fight!” Wang Lin stood up and let out a long howl toward the sky!

“I am waiting for you here. Do you dare to fight!”

His howl shook heaven and earth, carrying a challenge that spread wildly in all directions. At this instant, every single Cultivator on this Cultivation Planet heard it clearly!

Inside a residence in the eastern city of the Cultivation Planet, the Fire Sparrow Clan Elder's expression was solemn. Beside him stood seven members of the Fire Sparrow Clan, their faces unable to conceal their shock.

Before the Elder, the one hundred Soul Pills were being burned by fire, gradually melting. Eventually, the Soul Pills were gone, and even the souls within them vanished into smoke, but a single drop of fresh blood, radiating a scarlet light, glowed enchantingly in the fire!

“As this old man expected, the reason this Medicinal Pill contained Origin Qi was precisely because of the presence of this blood!! This… what kind of blood is this!!” The Fire Sparrow Clan Elder gasped, but just then, a world-shaking long howl, carrying killing intent and challenge, suddenly arrived.

The Fire Sparrow Clan Elder's expression changed, and he suddenly looked up.

At the same time, inside a pavilion within the Dragon Scale Clan Holy Land on this Cultivation Planet, the Dragon Scale Clan Chief and Si Mozi were seated. Standing respectfully before them was a person—it was the Young Clan Chief of the Dragon Scale Clan!

“Father, I have already delivered the ten thousand Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills as you instructed.”

The Dragon Scale Clan Chief's expression was grim. He looked at Si Mozi beside him and slowly said, “This person stole ten thousand Dragon Collapse Medicinal Pills from my Dragon Scale Clan. I ask Senior Si Mozi for help in capturing and killing this person. Afterward, my Dragon Scale Clan will certainly reward you heavily!”

A smile appeared on Si Mozi's face. Just as he was about to speak, a world-shaking long howl suddenly echoed throughout heaven and earth!

That howl revealed a challenge, revealed coldness, and revealed boundless Evil Qi!

“I am waiting for you here. Do you dare to fight!”

Finally, my thoughts are clear. I am confident this plot section will be written well and be satisfying, haha. I ask for a monthly vote. Er Gen is leaving tomorrow; let the monthly votes wish me a smooth journey. For details, please see the single page.
