Chapter 1457: Dominating the Inner Realm, Hunting the Nether Beast (Part 1) – First Update!

Affairs in the Luotian Star Domain had already reached their end. After leaving Ranyun Star, Wang Lin did not pause for a moment. With a step, he sped directly into the starry sky. Ripples echoed beneath his feet as his figure merged with the heavens and earth, moving away.

This final matter was something Wang Lin was determined to obtain!

Within the Luotian Star Domain, there was a place that was extremely desolate and filled with fog. If one were to rashly break into it, it was very likely they would lose their way, be trapped inside alive, and never be able to walk out again.

This place was a Forbidden Land of Luotian!

Rarely would any Cultivator come near it. Even if they passed by, they would often choose to avoid it, unwilling to get close.

Hidden within the vast fog were some strange Vicious Beasts. These Vicious Beasts were very similar to those in the Cloud Sea. Although there were not many, they formed their own world within this fog!

Divine Sense would be neutralized by the fog here, making it difficult to cover everything.

Wang Lin's figure appeared outside this area amidst a distortion of ripples in the starry sky. Looking at the pitch-black fog ahead, a flash of sharp light crossed Wang Lin's eyes.

Back then, after leaving the Thunder Immortal Realm, he had been teleported here and had appeared inside that strange beast. After charging out with the people of the Immortal Selections Clan, he had caught a fleeting glimpse when he looked back.

He had seen that incomparably massive beast, shaped like a whale: the Nether Beast!

At this moment, Wang Lin's final matter in Luotian was… hunting the Nether Beast!

The Nether Beast had a massive body, and its strength was peerless. However, this beast was extremely timid; it would avoid enemies upon encountering them. This timid personality was almost disproportionate to its massive size.

But despite this, in the current world, those who dared to provoke the Nether Beast were extremely rare. Even Master Lu, who clearly knew that a Nether Beast existed here, could not summon the slightest thought of hunting it.

With Master Lu's cultivation, even he was so wary of this beast, which showed the extent of its power. If this beast had a tyrannical personality, the entire Luotian would face a catastrophe!

Even the Moon Gazer, although its body was larger than this beast, would similarly not dare to provoke it!

The Nether Beast only possessed two Divine Abilities. The first Divine Ability was "Voiding into a Mustard Seed." When its massive body was not revealed, it was very likely that even if one were right beside it, it would be difficult to detect!

Especially given its timid nature, once disturbed, it would often immediately choose to turn into nothingness, like a mustard seed, making it difficult for people to find.

Its second Divine Ability was completely different from "Voiding into a Mustard Seed." Under this second Divine Ability, whether it was the Moon Gazer or Master Lu, all would have to flee at the first sign of trouble!

The Nether Beast possesses a world within its body, and this world can be large or small, unpredictable! The only Divine Ability of this beast is: Devour!

Once this beast is pushed to its limits, with one gulp, the starry sky shakes. Whether it be Magic Treasures, Vicious Beasts, powerful Cultivators, or even Cultivation Planets, or even an entire Star Domain, all would fall into the beast's body with that single gulp, trapped within the world inside it!

"The Nether Beast does not open its mouth for ten thousand years; once it opens its mouth, time flows!"

This means that once the Nether Beast actively devours, the world within its body can cause time to instantly pass by ten thousand or even tens of thousands of years!

It does not have a Divine Ability to slow down time; what it has is only instantaneous passage!

Legend has it that in the Primordial Era, there was an adult Nether Beast that, after being cornered, suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed a portion of the starry sky into its body. It directly caused millions of years of time to pass within its body, turning that starry sky into dust, and all the enemies within became dead souls!

Very few people understand the Nether Beast; they only know from some rumors that this beast does not cause time to pass every time it devours. It seems this Divine Ability is also a great burden for it.

But even so, it is still rare for anyone to dare to provoke this beast!

Most of Wang Lin's understanding of the Nether Beast came from the repeated Immortal Spell Devouring in the Outer Realm. After absorbing the memories of too many Cultivators, the information regarding the Nether Beast gradually became comprehensive in his mind.

It was precisely because of this, coupled with the fact that he was already very interested in this Nether Beast, that he had this final matter in Luotian!

"The only thing I don't understand is how a mere Immortal King from the Thunder Immortal Realm back then could borrow the Nether Beast for his own use…" Staring at the fog, a sharp light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. If he hadn't seen the Nether Beast with his own eyes back then and felt the unimaginable power on its body, he would have certainly thought that this beast was merely large in size and not very strong.

"This Immortal King was also a person of astonishing intellect; perhaps there was another method to cleverly borrow this beast…" Wang Lin's expression became solemn. He lifted his right foot and took a step forward, his entire body turning into a white rainbow, heading straight for the fog!

His speed was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the fog. As soon as he entered, it immediately caused the fog to swirl over a large area. Faintly, it seemed as if countless roars were coming from the distance, falling into Wang Lin's ears like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, shrill and chilling.

This patch of fog had kept Wang Lin in constant tension back then. Relying on great Opportunity and the guidance of his true body's fixed position, he had slowly walked out. But now, he did not hesitate, and at an extremely fast speed, he continued to move deep into the fog.

He spread out his Divine Sense, surrounding all directions. As it boomed and expanded, although it could not cover everything, everything within tens of thousands of feet appeared in his mind.

Unless absolutely necessary, Wang Lin would not let Ling Dong and Zhou Jin combine their Divine Senses to search. This Nether Beast was not a Cultivator; its personality was extremely timid. Once disturbed by Divine Sense, this beast would immediately flee at high speed.

Fleeing would be fine, but if the opponent fled after "Voiding into a Mustard Seed," it would be extremely difficult for Wang Lin to find it! Moreover, he was not trying to kill the Nether Beast, but to make this beast his own Ancient God life-bound beast!

While moving forward, Wang Lin's expression was extremely grave. His speed was so fast that he constantly flickered within the fog. Each step he took spanned tens of thousands of feet. Using this dense method, comparable to searching inch by inch, he continued to search for the traces of the Nether Beast within the fog.

Time passed slowly, and Wang Lin felt no fatigue. He was just like a hunter, cautiously searching in the place where his prey appeared. In the process of searching, one after another, strange-looking Vicious Beasts constantly appeared within Wang Lin's Divine Sense. But no matter how ferocious these Vicious Beasts were, after being swept by Wang Lin's Divine Sense, they all shook violently, staying there without daring to move, and even their roars could not be let out.

Within the fog, often a white shadow would flash, covering an endless distance. As Wang Lin sped along, he gradually explored two or three tenths of the entire Star Domain where this fog was located.

There were no signs of the Nether Beast. After that fleeting glimpse back then, the beast seemed to have gone missing, having disappeared without a trace. Wang Lin's expression remained solemn; he had not a hint of impatience and continued to search in silence.

Gradually, Wang Lin's figure went deeper into this vast fog-filled Star Domain. After searching again and again, his footsteps slowly covered nearly half of this Star Domain.

There were still no traces or clues of the Nether Beast, as if this beast had already left and did not exist in this place.

Wang Lin frowned slightly. After pondering, he gave up the idea of using Ling Dong and Zhou Jin to combine their Divine Senses for exploration. Instead, he calmed his heart and sped forward again, his Divine Sense becoming even more precise.

As time passed, the area Wang Lin had searched continued to increase, slowly spreading from half to nearly eight tenths of the entire fog-filled Star Domain. Just at this moment, Wang Lin's body suddenly paused. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his Divine Sense surged, locking onto the fog ahead.

In the fog three thousand feet away from Wang Lin, there was a group of rubble with individual pieces about a hundred feet in size. There were no fewer than several dozen of these rubble pieces, quietly floating in the fog, moving slowly.

Wang Lin's gaze pierced through the fog and landed on that group of rubble from afar. His body flickered forward, his speed like lightning, directly piercing through the fog to cross the three thousand feet, appearing in front of this rubble.

Looking at them from a close distance, these pieces of rubble were colorful, as if they were gemstones, fused together by a strange force, which was what formed the scene before him.

Stepping onto a hundred-foot piece of rubble, Wang Lin lowered his body and knocked on it with his right hand. Sounds of impact echoed from within. After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin grabbed it hard with his right hand, and with a "crack," he pulled out a piece into his hand.

After looking at it carefully for a few moments, a strange light appeared in Wang Lin's eyes.

From within these rubble pieces, an aura of ancient vicissitudes emanated, and they contained extremely rich Spiritual Qi. Even a single hundred-foot piece of rubble could shockingly be compared to the total Spiritual Qi contained in a half-abandoned Cultivation Planet!

However, although this Spiritual Qi was astonishing, it had no liveliness; it was like a dead object, without any vitality.

"I have never heard of such Spirit Stones in this world…" Even Top-Grade Spirit Stones could not compare to this hundred-foot rubble. Once taken to the Cultivation World to be sold, a hundred-foot piece of rubble would be enough to sell for an unimaginably high price!

"It is just that there are traces of the passage of time on it. Looking at its appearance, it seems as if it has spent tens of thousands of years in the flow of time… making this object…" Wang Lin was analyzing when his words suddenly paused. His eyes widened abruptly, staring fixedly at the rubble in his hand.

"Traces of time… Traces of time…" Wang Lin faintly seemed to have grasped something. His Divine Sense swept across this pile of rubble, and after feeling that aura of time, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"The excrement of the Nether Beast!!" Wang Lin looked at the rubble before him, his expression showing astonishment.

"That's right, it must be that the Nether Beast, for some reason, devoured a few Cultivation Planets, causing time to pass within the world in its body. This caused those few Cultivation Planets to die completely. Although the Star Souls were dead and the Cultivation Planets had been destroyed, the spiritual power within them still condensed together under the passage of time. This is what caused these rubble pieces to have extremely rich Spiritual Qi, while at the same time, having no vitality at all! Like dead objects! Permeated with the aura of time…"

"To hunt the Nether Beast, one must first Seal it. And because its body is massive, not only must the outside be Sealed, but even its interior must be Sealed…"

Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He dared to come and hunt the Nether Beast because he had already made thorough preparations in his heart.

"The external Seal can be completed with a thunderous strike! The difficult part is its internal Seal… as well as the Seal of its soul!"
