Chapter 1460: Commanding the Inner Realm, Hunting the Nether Beast (Part Four) — Fourth Update
Wang Lin's words carried an undeniable power. The moment they left his mouth, the seven rotating star points directly imprinted themselves onto the Nether Soul's mouth.
The first star flickered, shining brightly. At the same time, the second, third, and fourth stars all lit up!
A wave of ancient Soul Power instantly entered the star points, flowing into Wang Lin's mind.
When all seven star points were lit, the Soul Seal would be complete!
But just then, time had already passed. The time gained by Ling Dong and Zhou Jin at the cost of being absorbed was no longer enough. The Nether Beast's Divine Ability Realm reopened, and its suction swept out, causing Wang Lin's body to immediately show signs of being pulled in!
It happened in a flash. In this crisis, Wang Lin roared, raised his right hand, and violently flung it towards the hidden Divine Ability Realm deep within the Nether Soul's mouth.
With a whoosh, all the Ancient Breath Leaves flew out, heading straight for the entrance of the Divine Ability Realm, which was spinning like a black hole!
As rumbling sounds echoed and the suction momentarily weakened, the fifth star lit up!
But the moment it lit up, the Ancient Breath Leaves were sucked into the Vortex black hole, and the suction intensified again. Wang Lin's eyes flashed with a cold light; he was very calm. Although he had paid a great price to obtain this Nether Beast, if he succeeded, Ling Dong and the others would naturally be safe. But if he failed at this critical moment, the consequences would be dire!
However, he had thoroughly analyzed this matter before making his decision. Everything currently was still within his calculations!
He was confident he could light the last two star points!
The moment the suction reappeared, Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, and behind him, with a roar, the massive body of the Moon Gazer, like the tip of an iceberg, surged forth, heading straight for the black hole Vortex!
In an instant, the Moon Gazer's body blocked the black hole Vortex. As it was being pulled in, it bought Wang Lin the final moments!
The sixth star lit up!
The seventh star's light suddenly brightened!!
The seven stars in the Nether Soul's mouth all lit up in the blink of an eye. Under rapid rotation, the Soul Seal was finally complete!!
The external Seal, the Soul Seal, and the internal Seal—Wang Lin had now completed two of them, with only the last one remaining! After all seven Ancient God stars lit up, they left their imprint and returned to Wang Lin's glabella.
But at this very moment, an astonishing change suddenly occurred!
From within the sealed Nether Soul's mouth, a seven-colored glow suddenly shot up, shaking heaven and earth. This dense seven-colored glow instantly enveloped the starry sky, spreading tens of thousands of feet!
Upon seeing this seven-colored glow, even Wang Lin was momentarily stunned!
"Seven-colored!"
The seven-colored glow surged forth, sweeping across the starry sky. While it enveloped the Nether Soul, it also obscured the Nether Beast's main body beside it! Amidst the flickering seven-colored light, an indescribable power emanated from within the Nether Beast's body with a thunderous roar.
At the same time, the Seal Wang Lin had imprinted on the Nether Beast's external body immediately showed signs of dissipating. In a flash, it was largely dispersed by the seven-colored light, leaving only a trace, which was also on the verge of disappearing completely.
And within its Nether Soul's mouth, the seven-star Soul Seal that had just been imprinted suddenly changed from its bright flicker to a dim state, like seven candle flames struggling in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment!
In just an instant, three star point imprints were directly extinguished!
This sudden turn of events was completely unexpected by Wang Lin. He found it hard to believe that this Nether Beast could possess seven-colored power!
Seven-colored, seven-colored!
As the seven-colored light rapidly flickered and brightened once more, numerous illusory figures actually floated out from within the Nether Beast's soul mouth!
"Ming Zhi, sealing the Dao of heaven, all beings must cross immeasurable tribulations, leaving the deep prison with a single obsession, dedicated to cultivation…" A buzzing sound echoed in the starry sky, emanating from the figures floating out of the Nether Soul's mouth.
"Ming Zhi, all beings also before immeasurable time, unravel this vast world, escape the thoughts of heaven, take the Dao of the next life, dedicated to cultivation…"
"Ming Zhi, locking the fate of the dead heaven, imprinting the Nether Dynasty, those among all beings who do not attain the true Dao will forever sink into the sea of suffering, forever losing the true Dao, dedicated to cultivation."
The figures grew more and more numerous, instantly filling the area around the Nether Beast, densely packed and spreading in all directions!
"Ming Zhi!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed with a sharp light; he vaguely understood!
He understood why this Nether Beast had acted so uncharacteristically, not fleeing, but rather undergoing a personality reversal!
He understood why this Nether Beast had left excrement in this misty Star Domain!
He understood why this Nether Beast was so cunning, with a light of wisdom appearing in its eyes earlier!
He understood why, after being largely sealed, this Nether Soul had actually erupted with a seven-colored glow!
"It actually devoured a Seven-Colored Realm within these past thousand years!" Wang Lin's mind was shaken; he could barely believe it.
His guess was not wrong. In fact, after Wang Lin's fleeting glimpse and departure back then, this Nether Beast had been wandering in this misty Star Domain. Its nature was timid; although it possessed extremely powerful strength, any Vicious Beast in this mist would make it avoid them from afar, not daring to provoke them.
However, it evidently forgot its own oppressive aura, as no Vicious Beast or Cultivator dared to approach it. Thus, wherever it went, Vicious Beasts scattered in fright.
While wandering, the Nether Beast's mind was muddled. It was naturally like this, lacking intelligence, spending most of its life in slumber. When it occasionally awoke, it would wander aimlessly.
However, after Wang Lin left with the Immortal Selection tribesmen, the Nether Beast, upon waking, suddenly felt a bit hungry. While wandering, it dared not leave this misty area, so it could only slowly circle around.
Who knows how much time passed, but one day, a huge Rift appeared in the mist before it. Waves of seven-colored light emanated from this Rift, piercing its eyes.
At that very instant, a disheveled figure stumbled out of the Rift. Its clothes were tattered, and the moment it appeared, before it could even see clearly, a burst of wild laughter echoed.
"Finally out, finally out of this damned place, this old Daoist is finally free…" However, the voice abruptly stopped before it could finish. The figure clearly saw the massive body of the Nether Beast before it, and even more so, felt the terrifying oppressive aura emanating from its body.
Its appearance also made the Nether Beast pause. After a brief, stunned staredown between the man and beast, cold sweat broke out on the figure's forehead, its face pale, and it let out a piercing shriek!
As this shriek echoed, the Nether Beast's already small courage, after reacting, also let out a rumbling roar from its body!
This roar, to anyone who heard it, would be utterly terrifying. But in reality, it was merely a sound of fright, just like the figure's, after it had been scared.
The figure trembled, without any hesitation, and immediately retreated back into the seven-colored Rift, frantically fleeing into the Seven-Colored Realm. Only the echo of its desperate shriek, before it vanished, still faintly reverberated.
Amidst its terrified roars, the Nether Beast likewise retreated rapidly, moving a great distance. It stared intently at the direction of the Rift, its eyes filled with fear; it had been scared… First, it was stunned by the appearance of the seven-colored Rift, then bewildered by the figure that suddenly emerged, and finally, just as it reacted, it was utterly terrified by the other party's desperate shriek, completely shattering its composure… After a long while, the Nether Beast saw no one pursuing it. After some hesitation, its meager courage slowly grew. After thinking for a very long time, it cautiously returned, staring blankly at the seven-colored Rift.
It didn't know why, but it really liked the seven-colored hues, very much. If not for this, with its timidity, it would never have returned.
This daze lasted for a hundred years. During this century, the Nether Beast just stared blankly at the seven-colored light within the Rift, unmoving, as if contemplating something.
A hundred years passed, and it still didn't seem to understand how this Rift appeared or what it was. In its bewilderment, because the seven-colors brought it great joy, it couldn't bear to leave, so it began to daze again.
However, after another ten years of dazing, another unexpected event occurred… The Nether Beast's massive body, its hundreds-of-feet-wide eyes staring blankly at the Rift, was less than a foot away from the seven-colored Rift… Such a close distance, as if it wanted to see what was inside the Rift.
The figure that had emerged from the Rift over a hundred years ago, after struggling for a century, seemed to finally muster its courage and cautiously poked its head out from the seven-colored Rift once more.
Its hair was disheveled, its body gaunt, and its appearance extremely miserable. However, the moment its head poked out, because the Nether Beast was too close, the figure's vision blurred. When it cleared, a scream of utter horror once again emanated from its ashen face!
"You… you're still here! Damn it, you actually waited outside for a hundred years!" The figure screamed in terror and retreated again, returning to the Seven-Colored Realm, not daring to come out.
This sudden change startled the Nether Beast again. Perhaps the memories from back then were quite profound; this time, the Nether Beast only retreated tens of thousands of feet, not going far away. After waiting for a long time and seeing no one emerge from the Rift, unable to resist its fondness for the seven-colors, it cautiously returned again, staring at the seven-colored Rift, continuing its daze.
Time slowly passed, the second century, the third century… the fifth century… until one day, the Nether Beast felt hungry, but was reluctant to leave. After pondering, it slowly opened its massive mouth and directly swallowed the seven-colored Rift!
With this swallow, a suction force emanated, and the entire space where the Seven-Colored Realm was located was completely swallowed by this Nether Beast into the realm within its body.
Although Wang Lin didn't know everything, he could guess the process and outcome. As the murmurs of the Ming Zhi echoed in the starry sky from the Nether Beast before him, a massive stone tablet appeared from within the Nether Soul's mouth amidst thunderous roars!
On the stone tablet, crimson blood clearly inscribed passages of… Dao Scripture!
Four updates for three consecutive days, this level of intense fighting has made my fingers ache. But no matter how tired or painful, Er Gen is willing. For first place, I can give up anything; I only want first place! I admit, I'm crazy, completely crazy!
Tomorrow is the last day of the month, the day of decisive battle! Er Gen's speed isn't fast, I only have 2000 words of stored drafts, so I can't have an unlimited burst. But I have a passionate heart, I have a surge of madness. I will push my limits, writing until midnight tomorrow. I want to see if I win, or if I win!
