Chapter 1482: Dominating the Inner Realm, Nanzhao Dies!

This was the true roar, the true glory of a Seal Venerable!

Or perhaps, this was a surge of heroism, a tragic and magnificent spirit that would charge forward even against thousands!

The endless invading Cultivators of the Outer Realm in front of Wang Lin retreated in collective terror. Wang Lin's speed seemed to have reached its limit; as he stepped forward, the starry sky rumbled. With every step he took, it felt as if the starry sky itself was trembling, thunder roaring to the heavens!

In particular, that Heaven-Opening Axe which had killed the Fire Sparrow Clan Old Ancestor was in Wang Lin's hand, emitting faint whistles. This whistling sound carried the tone of killing and a frenzied determination, completely shattering the Battle Intent of the Outer Realm Cultivators!

This was merely the first battle, the first battle that had just begun! Yet, as soon as this battle started, an Outer Realm Great Expert died in the Inner Realm. It was not killed by despicable means, nor by an Inner Realm powerhouse like Hong Shanzi, but by Wang Lin—the one viewed by the Outer Realm Cultivators as a Seal Venerable—who cut him down with a single axe strike in a way that shocked their hearts: upright, honorable, and magnificent!!

There was no better way to dismantle the confidence of the Outer Realm people!

Wang Lin, with his own strength, achieved this, igniting the first battle and the first kill that would truly make his name as a Seal Venerable known throughout the Outer Realm!

The death of Daoist Shui did not amount to much; that was merely the killing of a slave. But the death of the Fire Sparrow Clan Old Ancestor was completely different. This was a glorious military achievement of cutting down an enemy general in the midst of war!

Amidst the heavy casualties of the Cloud Sea Cultivators, this was the most brilliant ray of life!

The over one hundred thousand Outer Realm Cultivators began to retreat silently. The looks they cast at Wang Lin were filled with terror and awe. It was not just them; even the Cold Clothes Boy and the Immortal Concubine had flashes of light in their eyes as they both looked over!

Hong Shanzi's long laughter erupted at this moment, shaking the heavens and the earth!

"The Seal Venerable has slain an Outer Realm Great Expert; in this battle, we have not lost!" Amidst his laughter, Hong Shanzi flicked his large sleeves, red light flickering within his body, and charged straight at the Cold Clothes Boy, trapping the Outer Realm Great Experts around him tightly!

Then there was Nanyunzi, who also laughed while blocking the Immortal Concubine, engaging her in battle!

It seemed that no one could stop Wang Lin anymore. Holding the Heaven-Opening Axe, Wang Lin broke through the air. The Outer Realm Cultivators in front of him retreated constantly, but they could not keep up with his speed. From afar, it looked like a sharp sword piercing straight into the belly of the Outer Realm Cultivators' army, unstoppable, heading straight forward!

The rumbling echoed; before the lingering sounds had faded, new roars arose!

Grand Secretary Yunluo's face was deathly pale, and he retreated subconsciously. His right hand performed Hand Seals, trying to calculate a glimmer of survival. His entire right hand had blurred into afterimages, changing rapidly!

"Stop him!!" While retreating, Grand Secretary Yunluo let out the first sharp cry of this war. This voice, filled with endless terror, had lost its tone and become distorted.

There were many Great Experts battling Hong Shanzi. Although Hong Shanzi blocked them tenaciously, the Cold Clothes Boy, using a Divine Ability on par with his, waved his right hand, causing a wave of icy cold Qi to explode. This icy cold Qi rolled out, directly affecting Venerable Nanzhao and forcefully shaking him out from under Hong Shanzi's Divine Ability.

"Kill the Seal Venerable!" The Cold Clothes Boy roared, the sound shaking the heavens and erupting like a thunderous bellow! He saw that the minds of the Outer Realm people were shaken, their Battle Intent already shattered by the scene just now, and they had even developed feelings of fear.

This kind of thing was extremely fatal in a great war; it could not be allowed to continue. If Wang Lin truly broke into the army and killed Grand Secretary Yunluo, then even if they, the Outer Realm, won this battle, it would effectively be a crushing defeat!

In his view, this was easy to solve: as long as Wang Lin was killed, everything would be settled!

He did not just shake away Venerable Nanzhao; another Great Expert who had arrived with the second wave of the army was also shaken loose. This Outer Realm Great Expert was from the Baile Clan, an old man in blue robes. After being shaken out, his body flickered, and he charged straight at Wang Lin!

Venerable Nanzhao's speed far exceeded that of the blue-robed old man. The moment he was shaken loose, he transformed into a black streak of light, carrying an even more intense killing intent than before, and charged straight at Wang Lin!

At this moment, Wang Lin was speeding through the army. The Cultivators in front who could not dodge in time had their internal Void Fire burn, causing them to collapse while screaming miserably. He was less than five hundred zhang away from Grand Secretary Yunluo!

Four hundred zhang, three hundred zhang, two hundred zhang!

Just at the moment when the distance was only two hundred zhang, Venerable Nanzhao arrived behind Wang Lin. His face was gloomy, staring dead at Wang Lin. As he raised his right hand, five-colored poisonous smoke manifested behind him!

This five-colored poisonous smoke was Venerable Nanzhao's life-bound poison. He had collected and refined it for ten thousand years in Nanzhao, making it his eternal treasure, comparable to the poison attacks of the Great Desolation Venerable!

"Wang Lin, you junior, this battle is over!" A cold light flashed in Venerable Nanzhao's eyes. As he stepped forward, he raised his right hand and grabbed fiercely. He was a hundred zhang away from Wang Lin. With this grab, the five-colored poisonous smoke behind him instantly let out a heaven-shaking whistle and erupted from behind him. From afar, it looked like five tornadoes rushing toward the endless reaches of the starry sky!

Rumbling sounds echoed in this starry sky. Following Venerable Nanzhao's grab, the five tornadoes sped forward, approaching Wang Lin's rear!

At this instant, Wang Lin, while moving forward, turned around abruptly. His blood-red eyes were filled with killing intent; no matter who came to stop him now, he would kill them! This momentum must not pause in the slightest. The moment he turned, the star point between Wang Lin's brows rotated, and the Celestial Emperor Furnace manifested with a rumble.

The moment it manifested, nine drops of poison appeared out of thin air in front of Wang Lin!

"Poison? I have some too! To kill you, three drops are enough!" Wang Lin waved his left hand forward. Amidst the roaring gale, the three drops of poison rushed toward the five tornadoes!

The moment the poison appeared, Venerable Nanzhao's pupils constricted.

"Great Desolation Poison! If the Great Desolation Venerable were using it himself, that would be one thing, but you dare to bring out this item that you don't even know how you obtained!" Venerable Nanzhao sneered. As he stepped forward, following closely behind the five tornadoes, he approached within fifty zhang of Wang Lin!

Just then, the three drops of poison collided with the five whistling tornadoes. With a loud bang, the moment the three drops of poison approached, they exploded directly, shockingly transforming into a vast sea of poison!

This sea of poison seemed illusory yet real. Amidst the shifting of void and reality, it was like a giant palm, slapping directly onto the five tornadoes. The toxins within spread crazily, instantly merging into the five tornadoes!

This five-colored smoke was purely condensed poison, containing heaven-shaking toxins. But at this moment, the instant it was touched by this sea of poison, the toxins within it seemed to have encountered something stronger and were actually devoured and fused!

One tornado of poison smoke dissipated directly, instantly absorbed by the sea of poison. Before Venerable Nanzhao could react from this shock, two more poisonous tornadoes collapsed with a roar!

"This is not the Great Desolation Poison!!!" Venerable Nanzhao's expression changed drastically. He had spent his life with poison, and he knew a great deal about all the poisons in the world, understanding them in great detail. But the sea formed by Wang Lin's three drops of poison was a poison he had never seen before!

This poison was very similar to the source of the Great Desolation Venerable's poison that he knew, but there were eerie differences. It was precisely this eerie change that prevented Nanzhao from seeing through it earlier; only at this moment, when the power of this sea of poison erupted, did he feel it with terror.

This all takes a long time to tell, but in reality, it was only an instant. The five poisonous tornadoes all collapsed. Absorbed by the sea of poison, it surged like a monstrous wave, like a river in the starry sky, rushing straight toward Nanzhao!

The distance between the two was too close, already less than a few dozen zhang. As a result, even Venerable Nanzhao could not completely avoid the impact of this sea of poison. Almost at the moment his expression changed and he took a step back, his body momentarily blurring as if about to dissipate, the sea of poison roared and swept directly over his body.

A shrill, miserable scream instantly came from within the sea of poison. Venerable Nanzhao's blurred body was immediately forced out, his entire skin festering, with waves of poisonous smoke continuously emerging from his body.

His eyes revealed indescribable terror, and he retreated frantically, wanting to struggle out of this sea of poison.

"What kind of poison is this!! Even the Great Desolation Venerable could never refine this kind of poison!!" Venerable Nanzhao's expression was miserable. As he retreated, in just an instant, his feet had melted into blood, and even his bones had turned into blood!

The heart-shaking screams spread throughout the starry sky, finally turning into a heaven-shaking plea!

"Save me!!" Venerable Nanzhao's lower body completely dissipated. As he tried to raise his arms, they melted into blood and dripped away. Even his upper body melted directly, and as the sea of poison roared, it swept past him, and the screaming stopped abruptly! Everything of him, as the sea of poison rolled back, returned to Wang Lin's side, and the soul of Nanzhao, whether dead or alive, was collected by Wang Lin into the Celestial Emperor Furnace.

Only the lingering, shrill echoes seemed to still reverberate in the minds of the more than one hundred thousand Cultivators, turning into extreme fear in their eyes! Especially that blue-robed old man, whose forward steps stopped in terror. The moment Wang Lin turned to look, sweat beaded on the old man's forehead, and he retreated rapidly.

In silence, Wang Lin waved his left hand, and the remaining six drops of poison in front of him all merged into the sea of poison, circling around Wang Lin to form a huge Vortex.

Without time to feel heartache for this treasure, Wang Lin roared and pointed his left hand toward the sky. With a rumble, this massive sea of poison Vortex suddenly rushed toward all directions!

He even grabbed the void with his left hand, and Rift after Rift appeared with popping sounds. Countless Mosquito Beasts, carrying a ferocious air, rushed out crazily!

Whether the sea of poison or the Mosquito Beasts, Wang Lin could not use them before. These were his trump cards for group battles. The Outer Realm Great Experts clearly still had strength in reserve. If he couldn't find the most critical moment, once unleashed, it was very likely that they would be forcefully stopped by others before they could exert their full power!

Right now, although it was not the best time, Wang Lin could not continue to wait. Moreover, after the Nether Beast swallowed the golden storm, Wang Lin had tried to summon it many times during this war, but it remained like a pool of stagnant water; the Nether Beast had lost all response.

The sea of poison scattered into the sky, the Mosquito Beasts whistled and buzzed. Wang Lin, holding the Heaven-Opening Axe, charged straight at the pale-faced Grand Secretary Yunluo. He raised his right hand, and with a heaven-shaking roar, separated by a hundred zhang, he directly swung the axe… and slashed down!

I am very sorry, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times sorry… Today's update is late… And it is only one chapter, which even I feel ashamed of. Today I drank some Maotai that I suspect was fake… My head is splitting, and it is raining in Beijing. When looking for a taxi, I was drenched by the rain… I originally planned to go home tomorrow, but the flights are full, so I can only go home the day after tomorrow. Right now, I can only promise with my reputation that the missed chapters will be made up within a few days. There will definitely not be fewer, only more!
