Chapter 1463: Dominating the Inner Realm, Seal Extermination Clan Altar (Third Update)

Being stared at so intently by this dazed Nether Beast, even Wang Lin felt a bit unaccustomed. He recalled the pitiful person in this beast's memory who had twice frightened it.

That pitiful person was still within a realm inside this Nether Beast, and his fate was unknown… Wang Lin had no time to concern himself with this stranger. He formed Hand Seals with his right hand and pointed at the Nether Beast. The beast immediately became illusory, transforming into a faint light that shot towards Wang Lin.

It merged with the second star point between Wang Lin's eyebrows and vanished.

Looking into the distance, at the Luotian Star Domain, all four tasks here were complete. While settling several Karma, he also saw some old acquaintances from back then.

Wang Lin had no other desires. With a light sigh, he walked into the distance.

Inside the Nether Beast, within that Divine Ability Realm, this realm was boundless, capable of expanding or contracting. At this moment, it was a scene of Chaos, like a starry sky. A Cultivator with a bewildered and disheveled expression had been searching for an exit in this world for hundreds of years… "That Vicious Beast is truly patient, waiting for this old Daoist for hundreds of years, but in the end, it couldn't endure as long as this old Daoist. It still left, didn't it? But after the Seven-Colored Realm collapsed, where exactly am I now…?"

The Cultivator's eyes were filled with confusion, utterly perplexed. He had pondered this question for hundreds of years… "Damn it, which Star Domain is this? I haven't encountered a single living soul in hundreds of years. Could this be a spatial Rift? I refuse to believe it! I'll definitely get out of here!" The old Daoist continuously encouraged himself, preventing himself from collapsing due to hundreds of years of aimless searching. Gritting his teeth, he continued to speed forward… In the Luotian Star Domain, there was a Cultivation Planet emitting a bloody light. Looking at it from the vast sea of stars, this planet's bloody light soared to the sky, enveloping its surroundings. It seemed that near this Cultivation Planet, one could feel waves of dense bloody aura even with closed eyes.

Wang Lin's figure appeared outside this bloody Cultivation Planet amidst a distortion of ripples.

Staring at the bloody star, Wang Lin raised his right hand and waved it forward. Immediately, a Storage Space appeared, and the Ancient Demon within the Blood God Child instantly materialized, grabbed by Wang Lin by the neck.

"Speak, what's the secret!"

"If I tell you, you must let me go!" The Ancient Demon's expression showed fear and struggle as he quickly spoke.

"If this secret is useful to me, I can grant you a sliver of hope in the end," Wang Lin said calmly.

"A sliver of hope isn't enough. If you don't let me go, this demon will die before speaking! Even if you search my soul, it's useless. This demon is of the Ancient Demon race and has ways to resist!" Although the Ancient Demon was afraid, he still gritted his teeth and hissed.

Wang Lin stared coldly at the Ancient Demon in his hand, not speaking, but under his gaze, the Ancient Demon grew increasingly terrified.

"If you won't speak, then so be it." After a long while, Wang Lin slowly spoke, making a gesture with his right hand as if to throw the Ancient Demon back into his Storage Space.

"I'll speak!! I'll speak!!" The Ancient Demon was terrified and shrieked urgently.

"You must promise not to deceive me, and that you will give me a sliver of hope in the end!"

Wang Lin frowned, showing impatience. The Ancient Demon's heart immediately sank upon seeing this, not daring to be verbose, and quickly said, "Within this bloody star, there's a hidden spatial Rift that only I can open. There's an altar there. This altar possesses immense Divine Abilities and is an item from the Ancient Immortal Realm. If one has immense good fortune, they can comprehend the Art of Three Lives upon it!

Once successful, one will possess three lives!!"

"Go open it!" Wang Lin threw the Ancient Demon forward with his right hand. The Ancient Demon immediately regained its freedom, but dared not harbor any thoughts of resistance, quickly flying towards the bloody star ahead.

Wang Lin's expression was cold as he followed behind the Ancient Demon, approaching the bloody star.

The Ancient Demon was in front, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashing in his eyes, quickly hidden in his heart. After nearing the bloody star, he formed Hand Seals with both hands and pointed at the bloody star.

The entire bloody star shook violently with a rumbling sound. Amidst the deafening roar, the planet's ground trembled, and a huge Rift actually appeared with cracking sounds!

This Rift traversed the entire bloody star, continuously extending as if someone had sliced it with a sharp sword. Amidst the roar, in Wang Lin's gaze, this massive bloody star split in two from the middle, separating into two halves, becoming two semi-circles.

Between these two semi-circles, strands of blood formed a continuous sheet. From afar, even one's gaze was distorted by these blood strands. Faintly and vaguely, one could see a ten-zhang wide spatial Rift deep within the endless blood strands.

This Rift was like an open mouth, its edges sealed by a large number of Restrictions, preventing it from closing.

Outside the separated bloody star, the Ancient Demon stood respectfully, still showing fear in his eyes, and whispered, "This is it… These blood strands contain the Yao family Bloodline, as well as my innate Demonic Qi. No one can enter without me leading the way, and that Rift is very fragile; it will collapse if forcefully entered."

"Lead the way," Wang Lin said slowly, his gaze sweeping over the blood strands.

The Ancient Demon quickly nodded and cautiously stepped forward. As he approached, the blood strands seemed to sense him, slowly retracting as he arrived, opening a path.

Wang Lin walked slowly behind the Ancient Demon.

The Ancient Demon was extremely nervous at this moment, knowing that his escape depended entirely on this. As he moved forward, the blood strands ahead gradually parted, allowing him to reach the ten-zhang Rift. Here, his nervousness had reached its peak, but he showed no trace of it on his face.

"This is it, the altar is inside…" The Ancient Demon stopped outside the Rift and spoke in a low voice. He was waiting, waiting for the other party to either go in alone, or let him go in, or go in with him, or even send one of his servants in.

No matter which choice, as long as someone entered this Rift, no matter who it was, he was confident he could escape. At this moment, his mental tension was frantically suppressed; he could not show any flaws at this crucial time.

"You're very nervous." Wang Lin looked at the ten-zhang Rift, within which an altar seemed faintly visible within a pool of bloody water, and slowly spoke.

The Ancient Demon's heart trembled, and he forced a smile. Before he could speak, Wang Lin's next words scared him nearly to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

"The altar of the Seal Extermination Clan from the Outer Realm's Primordial Stars, which disappeared in early years, seems to be different from this one!" Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at the Ancient Demon with a half-smile.

"You… you…" The Ancient Demon's eyes showed disbelief, and his mind buzzed. He never expected that the other party already knew about this matter!!

"My patience is limited. Since I promised you a sliver of hope, I will not break my word. I will give you one last chance! Bring out the true altar." Wang Lin looked at the Ancient Demon calmly. The calmer he was, the more terrifying and unfathomable he seemed to the Ancient Demon.

"How much does he know!!" The Ancient Demon's heart trembled. He couldn't discern any of Wang Lin's thoughts from his expression, but that last sentence terrified him.

"I'll give you three breaths of time! One, two…" Wang Lin slowly began.

"It's in this Rift, but not the one you're seeing. If you don't believe me, I can go in and retrieve it for you! Or you can come in with me." The Ancient Demon's eyes showed despair, as if everything had been seen through by the other party, losing all resistance, his expression filled with bitterness.

"You go in," Wang Lin said calmly, his voice gradually growing colder.

The Ancient Demon's heart trembled as he slowly walked towards the Rift. Just as he was about to step in, he vaguely saw a hint of mockery flash in Wang Lin's eyes from the corner of his vision.

"Why is he so confident… He dares to let me step in, could it be that he secretly left a Restriction in my body at some point… Once I step into this Rift, he will trigger the Restriction and kill me immediately before I can escape…" Outside the Rift, a single step felt like an endless distance to the Ancient Demon. His right foot was already raised; he just needed to put it down to enter the Rift, but he hesitated.

All these thoughts happened in an instant. The Ancient Demon looked at the Rift in front of him, and his inner struggle overcame his hesitation. He was about to put his right foot down, but just then, a sigh came, causing the Ancient Demon's mind to collapse. He dared not gamble!

If he won the gamble, his life or death would be unknown!

If he lost the gamble, he would surely die!

If he didn't gamble, he would have a sliver of hope!

With genuine bitterness, the Ancient Demon slowly retracted his right foot, retreated a few steps, raised his right hand, and grabbed into the Rift. Suddenly, the Rift vibrated, and the altar within collapsed with a roar. From the collapse, a bloody pavilion rapidly flew out, flashing out of the Rift.

At the same time, the Rift closed and rapidly vanished.

"There are three copies of the Seal Extermination Clan altar, each residing in one of three blood pavilions. Only one is here; the other two have already disappeared. I hope you keep your promise and give me a sliver of hope!" The Ancient Demon said with a bitter smile, then simply closed his eyes. He didn't know how much the other party knew, but at that final critical moment, he lacked the courage to gamble.

Wang Lin waved his right hand, sealing the Ancient Demon and putting him into his Storage Space. His gaze fell upon the blood pavilion. He also possessed one of these… After a moment of silence, Wang Lin put away the blood pavilion, took a step back, and instantly vanished into the starry sky. His mind was as cunning as a demon's. Although the Ancient Demon was sly, Wang Lin, despite not knowing the exact secret, used verbal probing and various changes in expression to turn it into a battle of wits. In this battle, the Ancient Demon clearly failed.

At the end of the Luotian Star Domain, at its connection with the Cloud Sea Star Domain, Wang Lin's figure materialized, his gaze sweeping over the empty expanse where the barrier between Luotian and Cloud Sea once stood.

"Daoist Shui!! For the grudge of yesteryear, Wang now comes to claim your soul!"

Outer Realm, Primordial Stars.

The order of the Venerable Assembly spread throughout the Star Domain, reaching every clan and the minds of every Primordial inhabitant of the Outer Realm!

"By the decree of the Ancient Immortal Realm, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the power of the Sealed Realm has reawakened. Initiate the third war against the Sealed Realm. All Primordial clans, from this day forth, are commanded by the Venerable Assembly. All clans shall prepare to wash the Sealed Realm with blood and annihilate the ancient within the Inner Realm!"

The third update is delivered!
