Chapter 1384: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Fishing the Moon from a Well! (Fourth Update)

Inside the Holy Land of the Fire Sparrow Tribe, Liu Jinbiao was entangled by countless branches, and agonizing screams echoed. Xu Ligou was even more terrified and frantically summoned Wang Lin.

The figure inside the Seven-colored Flames did not stop Xu Ligou's actions, but instead spoke three words.

"Interesting…"

The instant those three words left his mouth, a shocking rumble erupted within the Sword Storm that Xu Ligou had transformed into. It was as if a mighty force swept in from the Void Realm, using Xu Ligou's location as a beacon, finding its position from the boundless Star Sea, and forcefully tearing the storm apart!

Amidst the roaring storm, deep within it, two invisible large hands seemed to pierce through the void. Like tearing open a sheet of iron, they violently pulled apart the sides. A tremendous rumbling sound suddenly echoed across heaven and earth, and the storm was seen splitting in two from the middle and collapsing.

In that collapse, a massive Rift appeared in the sky above this place. Lightning flashed within the Rift, and raging flames soared. Wang Lin's figure stepped out from within it!

With white hair and white robes, Wang Lin's eyes concealed a look of brutality. The moment he stepped out, he glanced toward the figure sitting cross-legged within the Seven-colored Flames!

"Venerable Sovereign!"

The Seven-colored Flames burned fiercely. The figure inside seemed to open its eyes, revealing two ancient gazes that settled upon Wang Lin.

"I remember, your name is Wang Lin!" A hazy voice continuously echoed across heaven and earth.

"That is correct!" Wang Lin no longer concealed his identity, his expression growing even more brutal. As he spoke, he waved his right hand, and instantly a Thunder Diagram and Nine-colored Flames materialized. They rushed straight toward Xu Ligou, and with a sweep, Xu Ligou immediately returned to Wang Lin's Storage Space.

The Thunder Diagram rumbled, carrying the Nine-colored Flames, and approached Liu Jinbiao. Spreading out, it formed a massive hand flashing with thunder and fire, grabbed Liu Jinbiao, and violently pulled, tearing Liu Jinbiao free from the countless tentacles and sending him into the Storage Space.

The phantom inside the Seven-colored Flames did not stop this action.

"Very good… This Venerable Sovereign sees the essence of Qing Lin, Qing Shui, and that Sima Mo in you… You knew This Venerable Sovereign was here yet dared to come. Perhaps that previous generation Old Vermilion Bird gave you the courage… Or perhaps, you felt that since This Venerable Sovereign was severely injured and has not recovered over the years, it spurred your ambition to covet."

"That is correct!" Killing intent flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, and his brutality intensified. He took a step forward, heading straight for the Seven-colored Flames. The Nine-colored Flames in his left eye surged, roaring out directly from his pupil, transforming into a sheet of illusory Nine-colored Fire, forming a storm that struck directly.

Lightning flashed in his right eye, and the Thunder Diagram reappeared, surrounded by nine-colored accompanying lightning, transforming into nine Primordial Thunder Dragons. Furthermore, a Rift faintly appeared within that Thunder Diagram, a Rift leading to the Primordial Thunder Realm!

He formed a hand seal with his left hand, pointing toward heaven and earth as he advanced. Instantly, the fragrance of vegetation permeated this Inner Realm. Countless forests materialized in the Star Sea. With a crash, the Eternal Wood Spirit sat up out of thin air, roaring as it lunged toward the Seven-colored Flames.

Moreover, blood light soared to the heavens, transforming into a whistle that followed Wang Lin's pointing finger, and the Blood Sword rushed forward rapidly.

Furthermore, as Wang Lin formed hand seals with both hands, his entire cultivation erupted explosively, spreading around him and forming a booming impact that rapidly closed in!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, unbelievably fast. In an instant, Wang Lin unleashed almost all of his Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures, launching an attack toward the Seven-colored Flames!

The figure inside the Seven-colored Flames let out a long laugh, its laughter revealing a sense of desolation.

"Your judgment is correct. This Venerable Sovereign is indeed severely injured and has yet to recover, but the Heaven Defying you delivered has given This Venerable Sovereign the hope of full recovery!" The figure raised its right hand. The hand itself was indistinguishable, but one could vaguely see Armor on it.

"Since This Venerable Sovereign began cultivating the Dao, too many people have hated me to the bone, yet in the end, no one has been able to destroy me… Although you are outstanding, you are not yet qualified… This Venerable Sovereign will only use one technique!"

The figure inside the Seven-colored Flames raised its right hand and grabbed toward the sky!

"Heaven and earth in this realm can be seen as a well…"

The moment these words were spoken, the entire Star Sea shook violently. Ripples appeared below, and a mist of water vapor spread. In the blink of an eye, the Star Sea was diffused by an indescribable power and transformed into a water surface!

If one looked down from the highest point, they could clearly see that this water surface was actually a well!

"Everything exists within the well. All your Divine Abilities, all your Magic Treasures, even your Physical Body, exist within this well…"

The Star Sea, having become a water surface, calmed down under repeated ripples. The moment it calmed, it reflected everything that existed above it!

The water surface reflected Wang Lin's flame storm, reflected his Indestructible Thunder Diagram, and reflected the Eternal Wood Spirit… and even more so, Wang Lin's dazzling figure standing right in the center!

If an outsider were to witness this bizarre scene, they would surely be mentally shaken. The water surface reflected everything, except for the Seven-colored Flames!

At first glance, it was almost impossible to distinguish whether what was above the water was real or what was below the water was substantial!

Furthermore, at this instant, Wang Lin's body suddenly froze in mid-air. Not only did his body stop, but all his Magic Treasures also came to a halt, as if his soul had been captured by the water surface!

Wang Lin clearly felt that the figure existing within the water surface, which the Star Sea had transformed into, seemed to be himself! It was a very mysterious sensation, yet extremely real!

"This Divine Ability of This Venerable Sovereign is… Fishing the Moon from a Well!"

There is inherently no moon in a well; even if one appears, it is merely a reflection of the moon in the sky. But through the words of the figure within the Seven-colored Flames, this became an earth-shattering Great Divine Ability Technique!

Fishing the Moon from a Well!

The moment these words were spoken, the figure inside the Seven-colored Flames lowered its right hand and casually scooped toward the water surface below from across the air. Ripples immediately echoed across the water surface, and the reflection of Wang Lin within it was abruptly scooped up out of thin air by that arm movement!

What was scooped up was not water, but a struggling Wang Lin! However, this Wang Lin's eyes were filled with brutality!

Wang Lin's mind focused.

"This old man found the moonlight in that well beautiful and wanted to possess one. Now, I have it." As the figure inside the Seven-colored Flames drew back its right hand, the Wang Lin it had seized was tightly clenched within its palm.

"He is you!" The Seven-colored Flames roared and spread outwards, revealing the previously hazy figure within, and further exposing its clear appearance!

A middle-aged man with a pale complexion but eyes as calm as water!

This man was very handsome and possessed an air of immortal grace. He did not look at Wang Lin, but calmly observed the Wang Lin from the well, whom his right hand held in the Void Realm.

"Look, killing you is actually very easy…" This middle-aged man wore a set of gray Armor. The Armor looked extremely strange, as if it had grown onto his body, inseparable from his Physical Body.

Fishing the Moon from a Well, what was scooped out was the soul!

"It seems you are truly heavily injured…" Wang Lin spoke slowly. The moment his words left his mouth, his expression lost all previous brutality and became utterly calm. The middle-aged man who was gripping the Wang Lin scooped from the water immediately flashed with surprise in his eyes.

Under his Fishing the Moon from a Well technique, anyone reflected would lose all Physical Body strength and absolutely could not speak! Yet, Wang Lin's words clearly entered his ears.

Just as Wang Lin spoke, he took a step forward, raised his right hand, and flipped it, causing a Vermilion Bird Feather to suddenly appear in his grasp!

With a sweep, the feather immediately emitted shocking flames. These flames swept across and directly enveloped the sky of this Inner Realm. With a glance, the sky had become a sea of fire!

Roaring sounds echoed madly, causing the sea of fire in the sky to suddenly burn fiercely, as if in rage!

The middle-aged man fiercely squeezed his right hand, and the Wang Lin he was holding immediately let out a shrill scream, his entire body collapsing and utterly dying!

Wang Lin's body trembled, and his face instantly turned pale, but his movements did not stop at all. He raised his right hand and pointed at the sky, following the incantation passed down by the previous generation Old Vermilion Bird, and shouted: "I, the Sixth Generation Vermilion Bird, use the Feather of the Sparrow of Grace to summon the Origin Spirit of my Vermilion Bird Tribe, to descend from the ancient Primordial Realm!!"

Heaven and earth roared. The moment Wang Lin's words left his mouth, the middle-aged man suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing, and a cold voice emanated.

"This Venerable Sovereign truly underestimated you. You actually prepared to this extent before coming here, using a wisp of Demon Soul to substitute for your own. Good, good!"

Wang Lin remained silent. Before coming here, he had merged with Heavenly Fate Child's soul and carried out frantic Divination, just as he had before his battle with Shui Daozi back then. He vaguely saw a trace of a blurred omen.

This blurred omen was a life-and-death crisis, and this crisis was related to the soul!

Wang Lin's life was full of peril, relying on alertness and caution. Since he dared to plot against the heavily injured Venerable Sovereign, he naturally had to prepare fully. He had even prepared many retreat routes. To be safe, he simply erased the consciousness of the Ancient Demon Soul, replaced it with his own soul, and let it become his actual soul!

The Fishing the Moon from a Well technique was extremely overbearing and its power was earth-shattering, but what it scooped up was the Ancient Demon Soul, not Wang Lin's soul!

Substituting the true soul with a Demon Soul is something only Wang Lin, as an Ancient God, could achieve. If it were anyone else, they absolutely could not do this; even if their cultivation surpassed Wang Lin's, they would still collapse under the Fishing the Moon from a Well Divine Ability! And they would be detected!

However, Ancient Demons and Ancient Gods are fundamentally of the same origin, allowing for a perfect substitution!

Furthermore, the Venerable Sovereign was still heavily injured and had underestimated Wang Lin. Otherwise, Wang Lin would not have succeeded! But even if he had failed, Wang Lin had already prepared his retreat routes and certainly wouldn't have come here rashly!
