Chapter 1409: Peak of the Cloud Sea – Split!

The nearly one hundred Cultivators surrounding Wang Lin were all shaken. Everything had happened too quickly; before anyone could react, the battle was already over!

He walked leisurely through the crowd, no one daring to stop him. He captured the maidservant of Daoist Myoyin, and further displayed the power of the Ethereal Flame, which was deeply shocking!

If that were all, it would have been one thing, but what truly terrified the surrounding Cultivators was the incense strike, clearly from Daoist Myoyin, one of the Five Revered Ones of the Primordial Era in the storm above. This person… actually withstood it without injury!!

Such a thing was enough to shock the minds and bodies of all the surrounding Cultivators!

"An Ethereal Flame Cultivator!"

"Not only is this person an Ethereal Flame Cultivator, but even a strike from a Daoist Revered One couldn't kill him!!"

"Not only could it not kill him, but this person didn't even suffer the slightest injury!"

"The Divine Ability he just displayed was clearly Origin. Even if this person isn't a Third Step mighty figure, he's only one step away!"

"Who is he?!"

The dense swarm of Mosquito Beasts had just descended. It wasn't that they were slow, but that everything before had been too fast! With the descent of the Mosquito Beasts, coupled with Wang Lin's previous actions, the surrounding Cultivators hastily retreated, ceasing all their struggles.

The storm in the sky roared. The moment Wang Lin's cold gaze swept over it, there was a boom inside, as if two invisible giant hands had grabbed the storm and fiercely ripped it apart, causing the storm to collapse from the middle. Two figures, one left and one right, hastily retreated from within the storm!

The person on the right was precisely Venerable Dahuang. As he retreated, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he laughed loudly, "Good, worthy of being a junior of that old bird! To dare to capture the maidservant of Daoist Myoyin, one of the Five Revered Ones, right before his eyes—this courage, this decisiveness, is truly that of a hero! It wasn't in vain that this old man gave you the Poison Armor for protection!" As Venerable Dahuang spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He saw Wang Lin's extraordinary nature; if the two of them joined forces… The person on the left was Daoist Myoyin, who resembled a graceful young man. His expression was extremely gloomy at this moment. While in mid-air, he looked down at Wang Lin, then suddenly began to laugh.

His expression was extremely gloomy at this moment. While in mid-air, he looked down at Wang Lin, then suddenly began to laugh.

"Very well!"

His smile was very cold. After glancing at Wang Lin, he looked up at Venerable Dahuang, and with a wave of his right hand, a green snake about a thousand zhang in size immediately appeared in his hand. The green snake struggled continuously, emitting roars.

With a squeeze, the green snake let out a tragic shriek, and its body instantly became illusory. In a blink of an eye, it disintegrated, transforming into a Medicinal Pill the size of a head, floating in Daoist Myoyin's hand.

Waves of medicinal fragrance permeated the air. Taking a whiff, it felt as if one's entire blood circulation accelerated, invigorating the spirit.

"Old Poison Dahuang, you are not my match in this Ancient Tomb. Fighting further would be useless. This Revered One seized your Dao Spirit first, so I shall return this Dao Spirit to you!

Let us cease hostilities here. You may leave, how about it?"

As soon as these words were uttered, Venerable Dahuang's eyes clearly flickered.

A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. This single sentence reversed the situation; it was poisonous!

The Five Revered Ones of the Primordial Era, each one was profoundly intelligent and wise. Cultivators who had Cultivated for tens of thousands of years were never fools! Daoist Myoyin immediately saw signs of Wang Lin and Venerable Dahuang potentially joining forces, and thus, with this one sentence, he instantly created a huge Rift in what was merely a nascent possibility of alliance!

What Venerable Dahuang desired was this Dao Spirit, so he would give it to him! Compared to the Heaven Defying bead on Wang Lin, what was a Dao Spirit? Daoist Myoyin's expression was calm as he awaited Venerable Dahuang's choice!

Wang Lin sneered. If he were outside, he would immediately flee upon encountering Daoist Myoyin, as the gap between them was too great. But here, Wang Lin was certain of his judgment: although Daoist Myoyin was one of the Five Revered Ones of the Primordial Era, he could only exert the power of the void nirvana Early Stage.

Although he had no chance of victory, the other party would also face great difficulties if they wanted to kill him.

Most importantly, Wang Lin had an Ancient Slave!

Venerable Dahuang narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then laughed. Without even looking at Wang Lin, he nodded to Daoist Myoyin and said, "Give me the Dao Spirit, and this old man will leave!"

Daoist Myoyin said nothing, merely looking at Venerable Dahuang.

"This old man Dahuang swears by incense that upon receiving the Dao Spirit, I will depart and not return!" Venerable Dahuang clearly knew what the other party was waiting for. Without hesitation, he formed Hand Seals with his right hand as he spoke, and an unusual rune immediately materialized.

Swearing by incense, forming an oath-talisman, was a relatively trusted method of constraint between parties in the Third Step. With a wave of his right hand, the oath-talisman flew towards Daoist Myoyin.

Receiving the rune, Myoyin felt a release inside and tossed out the Medicinal Pill in his hand.

Venerable Dahuang flicked his sleeve, taking the Medicinal Pill. He swept a half-smile, half-sneer glance at Wang Lin below, then turned and headed directly into the distance. The instant he stepped into the Rift and disappeared, Wang Lin's body suddenly shot up from the ground with a boom.

A thunder diagram materialized, flames blazed. The moment Wang Lin shot up, the thunder diagram appeared around his body, heading straight for Daoist Myoyin in the sky. Daoist Myoyin snorted coldly, his eyes revealing ruthlessness. When fighting an Ethereal Flame Cultivator, one must first Seal off one's own emotions.

He formed Hand Seals with his right hand and slammed it downwards. Instantly, incense power erupted with a roar, transforming into a graceful, illusory immortal maiden. This immortal maiden held a jade sword and, upon appearing, swept it directly towards Wang Lin.

Sword Light surged, seemingly capable of slicing open this Seal. Amidst an astonishing roar, it slashed towards the thunder diagram!

In a flash, the immortal maiden's Sword Light clashed with the thunder diagram with a resounding boom. The Sword Qi held by the immortal maiden was not just one; the moment it landed on the thunder diagram, it instantly transformed into thousands upon thousands, striking wave after wave.

In an instant, the thunder diagram collapsed. Wang Lin spat out fresh blood and hastily retreated, his expression wilting, as if heavily injured and about to flee.

Daoist Myoyin's body swayed, about to pursue, but at that moment, a black wind suddenly howled from behind him. The entire sky suddenly twisted, and a huge black shadow stretched directly out from within the distortion, forming a pitch-black palm that emitted endless stench and poisonous Qi, pressing directly towards Myoyin's back!

The appearance of this pitch-black palm was too sudden, and its speed was unimaginably fast. In a blink of an eye, it was close to Daoist Myoyin. Myoyin's face suddenly changed drastically. He decisively gave up pursuing Wang Lin and instead sharply turned, forming Hand Seals with both hands and pushing them outwards in front of him. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a purple mist. Within the mist, an ancient shield rushed out and positioned itself in front of him.

With a loud bang, the pitch-black palm print landed directly on the shield. With a series of thuds, countless Rifts appeared in the shield, but it did not shatter. However, it was sent flying backward by the immense force, directly smashing into Daoist Myoyin's body.

Daoist Myoyin spat out fresh blood, his body hastily retreating.

But at the moment of his retreat, Wang Lin's wilting expression immediately vanished. His eyes flashed with killing intent, and he raised his right hand, fiercely waving it forward. bloody light surged, and the Blood Sword directly materialized and sped towards Myoyin.

"I want all his incense!" Wang Lin spoke calmly as he rushed out.

"Alright, this old man will have his body, to merge into my soul!!" An ancient, eerie voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

As Daoist Myoyin retreated, he ignored Wang Lin. Instead, he formed Hand Seals, causing the shield in front of him to fly out and block the giant palm that was slamming down. His eyes flashed with anger, and he shouted, "Old Poison Dahuang, you broke your promise!!"

"What a joke! This old man only keeps promises depending on the person! You managed to snatch this old man's treasure once; in this Ancient Tomb, there will surely be a second and third time. How can I let you snatch it every time!" Amidst a loud laugh, Venerable Dahuang's figure, who had returned, appeared within the pitch-black palm.

"Furthermore, this young Fellow Daoist is a junior of the old bird. This old man has only one close friend in his life, the old bird, so how could I leave! This body of yours, this old man wants it for sure!" As Venerable Dahuang spoke, he waved his right hand, and the five fingernails of the enormous pitch-black palm instantly shattered, transforming into five streams of black Qi, like curved sabers, which rapidly shot out amidst sharp whistles, heading directly for Daoist Myoyin.

Daoist Myoyin hastily retreated. At this moment, the Blood Sword surged from behind him. As for the Blood Sword and Wang Lin, Daoist Myoyin did not take them to heart. In his opinion, Wang Lin could at most serve to distract him; his true enemy was this Old Poison Dahuang in front of him!

Especially now, seeing the five fingernails fly out from the palm, Myoyin focused most of his attention on what was in front of him, causing the shield to be filled with endless purple Qi, vaguely appearing like a purple sea within it.

"Junior Wang Lin, get lost! This Revered One will kill you once I'm free!" As he retreated, he waved his left hand behind him, and a wave-like phantom, resembling a sea breeze, appeared. This phantom was about a hundred zhang tall, clad in purple Armor, and held a trident. The moment it appeared, the phantom's eyes suddenly flashed, and it brandished the trident, heading straight for the Blood Sword and Wang Lin behind it!

If Daoist Myoyin had witnessed Wang Lin's battle with Si Mozi, if he hadn't been in a hurry to leave Emperor Star for the periphery of this Ancient Tomb, or even bothered to learn about the later events on Emperor Star.

If it weren't for these things, he would never have underestimated Wang Lin, nor would he have placed all his focus on what was in front of him, because behind him was a God Slayer!! It was an Ancient God who had refined Venerable Lingdong and whose strength had greatly increased!

The Blood Sword howled as it sped forward, and in a flash, it clashed with the hundred-zhang figure's trident. With a boom, the Blood Sword's sharpness was almost unstoppable by anything in the heavens and earth. It directly pierced through the trident, and further pierced through the hundred-zhang phantom, heading straight for Myoyin behind it!

This sudden turn of events caused Daoist Myoyin's face to change drastically. He had no time to dodge, as Venerable Dahuang's five fingernails, like curved sabers, were already rapidly approaching him from the front.

In a moment of crisis, Daoist Myoyin let out a low roar and suddenly waved both hands. Immediately, scales appeared all over his body. These scales were all purple, emitting an eerie purple glow, and instantly covered his entire body.

With a boom, the five fingernails struck the shield. The shield violently vibrated, directly shattering into pieces. The fingernails pierced through and landed on Myoyin's body.

At the same time, the Blood Sword plunged into Myoyin's body!

An earth-shattering sound echoed throughout the entire Seal. Under this violent impact, the sky of the Seal was torn open with huge Rifts, and the surrounding mist surged in.

Amidst the roar, Daoist Myoyin spat out fresh blood, his front a bloody mess, poison Qi permeating. The Blood Sword even pierced through his chest, forming an arc and returning to Wang Lin's side.

"Origin of Sound, Origin of Water, sound waves destroy the Dao!!" Daoist Myoyin's expression was sinister as he hastily retreated sideways. He had to admit that he had underestimated Wang Lin, and at this moment, he let out a sharp shriek!

He just didn't know yet that Wang Lin's strongest strike was already prepared!

…Honestly, I want some recommendation tickets. The position on the rankings is a bit erratic… Thanks to Fellow Daoists Dugu D Yi Yun and Mo Yi for being among the hundred allies of renegade immortal, making a name in the Outer Realm, and granting Wang Lin great Opportunity in the Ancient Tomb. Er Gen is deeply honored and sends two Ancient Demon bodies as a token of appreciation!
