Chapter 1397: Peak of the Cloud Sea, An Opportunity for Healing!

Thousands of humanoid Vicious Beasts might not sound like many, but seeing them in person, especially as they charged out of the mist with sharp, piercing shrieks, was enough to deliver a powerful shock.

Their ferocious expressions, extreme speed, and terrifying appearance formed an incredibly powerful Aura that rumbled as they approached.

Compared to these thousands of Vicious Beasts, Wang Lin and the mere twenty-five others were like a drop in the ocean, seemingly capable of being swallowed at any moment.

The cultivation of these humanoid Vicious Beasts varied; the strongest could almost reach the third heavenly and mortal decay cultivation, while the weakest still possessed the power of shattered nirvana Perfection.

Individually, they were not worth mentioning, but with thousands of them swarming and their strange speed, they became somewhat difficult to handle. However, though difficult, the Cultivators here were by no means weak. The moment these thousands of Vicious Beasts arrived, they immediately unleashed their Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures, transforming into countless rumbling attacks that began to slaughter them.

Wang Lin's expression was calm. As he raised his right hand, thousands of Sword Qi whistled at his fingertips. With a sweep, the Sword Qi roared forth, forming a Sword Storm that swept across the heavens and earth, engulfing and crushing all Vicious Beasts that charged at him.

But the instant those Vicious Beasts died, a red light abruptly flashed on their bodies. Despite being torn apart by the Sword Storm, they still erupted with a world-destroying power, collapsing and self-destructing with a loud bang.

The power generated by their self-destruction was several times greater than their original cultivation. Especially when many self-destructed simultaneously, the violent sound instantly drowned out all other noises, reverberating through the mist endlessly.

Dozens of Vicious Beasts were killed by Wang Lin. When they all exploded at once, the power was equivalent to a full-force strike from a Cultivator at the fifth heavenly decay. Wang Lin's eyes flashed. The moment the impact from the Vicious Beasts' collapse surged towards him, an endless white light suddenly appeared around his body, instantly forming a giant phantom behind him!

This phantom enveloped his body, shining blindingly. The instant the rumbling impact arrived, the two collided abruptly. A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth, reverberating madly. The phantom twisted rapidly but did not shatter. Instead, its light intensified, reflecting all the destructive power outwards, sweeping in all directions.

Around Wang Lin, the second wave of charging Vicious Beasts was immediately affected by this reflected power. They collapsed amidst shrill screams, but their collapse created an even greater self-destructive impact. In successive waves, a storm was unleashed with Wang Lin at its center.

The increasingly powerful self-destructive force surged towards Wang Lin. His expression remained calm, and the phantom around his body shone even brighter. Under this sudden brilliance, a flicker in his eyes was hidden, preventing outsiders from seeing Wang Lin's expression at that moment.

Wang Lin's mind trembled. Not all Vicious Beasts had the chance to self-destruct before death; some were killed by Wang Lin before they could. Whenever such a thing happened, a surge of white Qi would suddenly enter his body. This white Qi was not Ancient God Power, but a surge of vitality.

This vitality, upon entering his body, immediately became part of his healing, and it was even faster than healing by devouring Cultivators. Licking his lips, Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly took a step, leaving his platform and heading straight for the Vicious Beasts.

Not far away, the other Cultivators resisted, but a few, caught off guard, were affected by the Vicious Beasts' self-destruction. They spat out fresh blood, and as they retreated, they were surrounded by Vicious Beasts. Just as they were about to resist, the surrounding Vicious Beasts immediately self-destructed again, forming an even stronger impact that completely annihilated them.

The most relaxed was the woman in white. Her expression remained normal throughout, and she did not appear to use any Divine Abilities. She stood calmly, and any Vicious Beast that approached her would immediately emit endless black Qi, bleed from all seven orifices, and retreat with screams.

Wang Lin's figure was like lightning. He was the first among the twenty-five Cultivators to charge out and plunge into the Vicious Beast horde. His actions immediately drew the attention of everyone in the midst of the battle!

Wang Lin ignored the gazes sweeping his way. As he stepped forward, he approached a group of charging Vicious Beasts. Raising his right hand, thousands of Sword Qi whistled and swept across, directly tearing through the Physical Bodies of these Vicious Beasts and rushing into their interiors. A roar reverberated, and before they could self-destruct, a portion of them was directly annihilated by Wang Lin. Streaks of white Qi shot towards Wang Lin, all absorbed into his body.

The surging vitality was absorbed by his Primordial Spirit within his body, and his injuries immediately improved slightly. Having tasted the benefits, Wang Lin retreated with the force of the impact. In a flash, he appeared outside a group of Vicious Beasts that had surrounded someone in the distance. Raising his right hand, he formed a sword with two fingers and pointed directly at a Vicious Beast. The moment it was destroyed, Wang Lin moved like a swimming fish.

Rumbling sounds continued, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of these Vicious Beasts were all annihilated. The Cultivator, who had been surrounded by Vicious Beasts and was already in despair, immediately became excited, looking at Wang Lin with immense gratitude.

Wang Lin paid no attention and turned to rush into the distance.

Time passed quickly. Wang Lin's actions made it impossible for all the Cultivators present not to watch. Wherever he appeared, any Vicious Beasts were immediately killed by him at an extremely fast speed, after which he would move to other places.

The middle-aged Cultivator, holding a wine gourd in his left hand and a sword in his right, drew his sword from the brow of a Vicious Beast with a flash of sword light. He laughed up to the sky as hundreds of Vicious Beasts lunged at him. He brought the wine gourd to his lips, took a big gulp, and was about to unleash a Divine Ability.

A blinding white light flashed by. It was Wang Lin, whose figure was like lightning, directly approaching. After a few flashes, a roar reverberated, and most of these nearly a hundred Vicious Beasts died. Having absorbed the vitality, Wang Lin stepped away.

The middle-aged Cultivator frowned and muttered a few words, but then his gaze suddenly sharpened, as he had noticed something. He was not the only one to see the problem; the Cultivators here were all shrewd individuals, and under their observation, Wang Lin's actions immediately revealed the reason.

"Killing these humanoid Vicious Beasts before they self-destruct will cause vitality to enter the body. This vitality can not only heal injuries but also increase cultivation, equivalent to several days of breathing exercises and meditation!"

However, by the time they discovered the problem, nearly a thousand of these thousands of Vicious Beasts had died at Wang Lin's hands, and another thirty percent had died from the self-destruction during the other people's battles. The remaining thousand or so formed a dense mass, and Wang Lin's figure flashed out like lightning, rushing towards these nearly a thousand Vicious Beasts before the other Cultivators.

Behind him, apart from the Fengmie Clan woman who dared not leave her platform, and the woman in white who remained calm and unmoved, the others were all stirred. These thousand Vicious Beasts, in their eyes, had become like powerful Medicinal Pills. They rushed out immediately, transforming into over twenty long rainbows, intending to snatch a share before Wang Lin!

"Fellow Daoist in white, since we are fated to be in the same group, you naturally cannot face these nearly a thousand Vicious Beasts alone. Let us come together!"

"Fellow Daoist, slow down. If these nearly a thousand Vicious Beasts self-destruct, their power will be astonishing, so it's best to be careful!"

"That Cultivator in white, I don't care about the others, but leave three hundred of these Vicious Beasts for this Daoist!"

Low shouts came urgently. The twenty-odd Cultivators greatly increased their speed, chasing after Wang Lin!

Wang Lin's expression remained normal. With a cold sneer, the moment he approached the nearly thousand Vicious Beasts, the Ancient God Star Point on his brow flickered imperceptibly, and a faint light suddenly shot out from the first star.

Wang Lin performed Hand Seals and waved outwards.

The Heavenly Emperor Furnace suddenly appeared in the heavens and earth, completely enveloping the nearly thousand roaring Vicious Beasts. The enormous Heavenly Emperor Furnace manifested as an illusion, and an ancient Aura swirled around it like a storm, forming a heaven-shaking Vortex that swept in all directions!

"Refine!" Wang Lin roared the instant those Cultivators approached.

With that single word, the Heavenly Emperor Furnace rumbled. The nearly thousand Vicious Beasts inside immediately screamed tragically. Before they could even self-destruct, the furnace became murky, filled with surges of Ancient God Qi. In the blink of an eye, to the dumbfounded gazes of the twenty-odd Cultivators, the massive Heavenly Emperor Furnace, as if it were solid, suddenly shrank amidst the rumbling sounds in the heavens and earth, transforming into a faint light that vanished into Wang Lin's brow.

All of this happened in a flash of lightning, almost instantaneously. Wang Lin collected all nearly a thousand Vicious Beasts, leaving not a single one!

Turning around, Wang Lin's expression was cold as he glanced at the approaching people. Within their bodies, he saw strong emotional fluctuations. Taking a step, he returned to his platform. Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, and a powerful cultivation spread out, aweing all directions.

The twenty-odd Cultivators all had unfriendly gazes, but they were wary of Wang Lin's cultivation. In silence, no one made the first move. In the distance, the Fengmie Clan girl's heart stirred. She saw this as a good opportunity and was about to grit her silver teeth and step forward, but at that moment, Wang Lin's cold gaze fell upon her.

The girl's heart trembled, and her face instantly turned pale. Her footsteps froze, and she dared not move.

A moment later, the twenty-odd Cultivators all returned to their platforms, temporarily putting the matter aside, but their gazes towards Wang Lin were still extremely unfriendly.

Only the woman in white showed a hint of appreciation in her eyes, nodding slightly at Wang Lin as a gesture.

Just then, the platforms everyone stood on vibrated violently. After a brief pause, they sped forward, their rumbling echoing in their ears. These twenty-odd platforms moved extremely fast, directly rushing into the mist ahead and disappearing.

"These humanoid Vicious Beasts are of great use for my healing. No one can snatch them from me!" Wang Lin stood calmly on the platform, his expression revealing no thoughts, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. From within the Heavenly Emperor Furnace in his brow, surges of abundant vitality continuously erupted and rushed into his body, causing his injuries to recover at an extremely fast rate.

"It's time to establish my might…" A faint, illusory flame, imperceptibly burned in his left eye, gradually growing stronger.

My monthly vote count was surpassed, and while there's reluctance in my helplessness, I'm too embarrassed to ask for monthly votes when I haven't exploded with updates. But Er Gen is working hard and preparing for an imminent burst of updates!
