Chapter 1487: Dominating the Inner Realm, the Bow is Here
In the past, this would have immediately caused the formation spirit to manifest. However, at this moment, a crazed, eternal will seemed to erupt from within the bow along with the arrow. Under the pressure of this crazed will, the Sealed Realm Grand Formation's spirit actually retreated for a moment! It seemed as if it dared not appear!
Amidst the tremors, the fifty-zhang gap that was healing was forcibly frozen, as if sealed in ice, allowing the illusory white arrow to pass through and head straight for Wang Lin!
Wang Lin gathered all his focus, his mind so concentrated that he forgot everything else. In his eyes, there was only this illusory white arrow. As he took a step back, his body began to dissipate rapidly.
A sharp pain pierced his brow, as if two invisible hands had dug into his flesh, trying to pry his skull open from the center of his forehead. The white arrow whistled through the heavens, and after passing through the Sealed Realm Grand Formation, it was less than a hundred zhang away from Wang Lin!
The arrow's whistle, which shook the starry sky, was extremely sharp. It carried an indescribable, ferocious, and baleful Qi that rattled the mind, causing all the Cultivators within the formation to turn pale.
A distance of a hundred zhang was insignificant for this arrow. Amidst the rising roar, the dao ancient head formed by the seven stars in front of Wang Lin immediately twisted violently, as if an indescribably powerful force was bombarding and approaching!
With this arrow, the string moves to kill!
In an instant, the arrow arrived and charged into the dao ancient head. A deafening roar erupted, shaking the heavens and the earth. Amidst the rumbling echoes, the power of this arrow was such that even Wang Lin's dao ancient head could not resist for long. The center of the head's brow collapsed, and the arrow charged straight through, intent on piercing it and striking Wang Lin!
Wang Lin's body had not yet fully merged with the heavens and the earth. As the white arrow approached, the sense of life-and-death crisis intensified. Wang Lin's eyes flashed with determination as he raised his hands and slammed them forward!
His Ancient God Physical Body's two arms merged into the dao ancient head upon impact. With a boom, they pierced through and tightly clamped onto the white illusory arrow within, which contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!
The moment his hands touched the white arrow, Wang Lin immediately felt a massive force surge into his body through his arms. His seven-star Ancient God Physical Body struggled to resist this force. As his body shook, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was involuntarily pushed back by the force, forcibly ejected from his state of being half-merged with the heavens and the earth, and stumbled back into the starry sky.
Each step back covered several zhang, and with every step he landed, a boom resounded. Wang Lin's expression was ferocious, his eyes bloodshot, as he kept his hands tightly clamped on the white arrow, retreating a thousand zhang!
Blood continued to spray out. Along the thousand-zhang retreat, he spat out seven mouthfuls of blood. His body was already injured, and now it was injury upon injury.
With another roar, Wang Lin's body retreated and stepped directly into the land of the Outer Realm invading Cultivators, which was sealed by the Ancient Breath Leaf. The moment he entered, Wang Lin did not hesitate. Countless black mists suddenly materialized from his back, extending rapidly backward like tentacles. Every Outer Realm Cultivator touched by them immediately let out a shrill scream as their bodies turned into dried husks, all their vitality sucked away by the mist and poured into Wang Lin's body.
All of this sounds slow, but it actually happened in an instant. Just as Wang Lin was using this method to resist the white arrow, the white-clothed man outside the Sealed Realm Grand Formation had a gloomy expression as he drew the bow again!
"It should end now!" As the white-clothed man spoke these four words, his face rapidly aged, turning from a youth directly into an old man. The bow in his hands was drawn into a full moon, and with a hum, he released the string. A second white arrow roared out rapidly!
A sharp whistle followed the arrow as it charged through the gap in the Sealed Realm Grand Formation, heading straight for Wang Lin!
With one arrow, Wang Lin was already at a disadvantage; for him, two arrows meant life or death!
Wang Lin's pupils contracted. Flames spun crazily in his left eye, and a lightning diagram rotated rapidly in his right. His Origin power erupted within his body. At this moment, he had no time to think too much. He only knew that if he could not destroy the first arrow in his hands before the second one arrived, he would surely die today!
Just as the roaring sound spread across the starry sky, a crazed aura suddenly approached rapidly from the distance of the Cloud Sea Star Domain. This aura had just appeared in the distance, but in an instant, it neared Wang Lin. A barefoot, middle-aged man materialized, stepped forward, and stood in front of Wang Lin!
Wang Lin recognized this barefoot man; it was the peerless Vicious Beast Tai A-Luo, who had been branded by the Seal Venerable!
For reasons unknown, he chose at this moment to face the second arrow, buying a precious glimmer of hope for Wang Lin! The moment he appeared, Tai A-Luo let out a heaven-shaking roar, raised his hands to perform Hand Seals, and charged straight at the second arrow.
Furthermore, as he performed the Hand Seals, a layer of fine scales immediately materialized on Tai A-Luo's body. These scales were pale black and densely covered his entire body.
"I can only delay it for three breaths for you!" A deafening roar erupted. As he reached out his hands and collided with the second arrow, a heaven-shaking force surged into Tai A-Luo's body, causing his whole body to shake violently. Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his arms, which were blocking the arrow, twisted as if they could not bear it and were about to be broken by the white arrow!
With a roar, Tai A-Luo's body shook, and all the scales that had just appeared on his body detached and shot forward. In an instant, these numerous scales formed a shield!
In the center of this scale shield were three strange golden scales. As the shield flew out, Tai A-Luo's hands collapsed with a bang. With his flesh mangled, the second arrow roared over and collided with the scale shield!
Another heaven-shaking roar erupted. Under the tremors, the scales on the edges of the shield exploded. As they disintegrated layer by layer, in just a blink of an eye, only the three golden scales remained.
One breath, two breaths! In two breaths, the three golden scales collapsed and shattered. As they recoiled, Tai A-Luo smiled bitterly and sped away. The second arrow was not locked onto him, which was why he could retreat after failing to overcome it.
Counting the previous time, Tai A-Luo had indeed done as he said and delayed for three breaths. These three breaths were extremely precious to Wang Lin. During the first breath, Wang Lin bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mist of blood forward.
During the second breath, the World-Extinguishing Fire that had descended from the Burning Realm Ancient Umbrella in the starry sky surged in from all directions. While circling his body, it rushed toward the blood he had sprayed from his tongue. Merging with that blood, it formed a power of world-extinction, which collided with and resisted the first arrow clamped in his hands!
During the third breath, the black mist behind Wang Lin spread crazily, enveloping all the Outer Realm Cultivators behind him. The moment the three breaths ended, the first arrow was struck by the World-Extinguishing Fire infused with Wang Lin's Ancient God blood. The arrow disintegrated and shattered layer by layer, but its momentum remained terrifying.
Amidst the constant disintegration, only a fragment, two-tenths of its original size, remained. It broke through the blockade of Wang Lin's hands and headed straight for his brow. As it moved forward, this two-tenths-sized fragment disintegrated further, and finally, when it was three inches from Wang Lin's brow, only one-tenth remained.
With a loud boom, this tiny fragment of the arrow collided with Wang Lin's brow.
A shrill scream echoed through the heavens and earth at this moment, but it did not come from Wang Lin; it came from the Outer Realm Cultivators behind him! Every Outer Realm Cultivator shrouded by the black mist withered and turned into a dried husk!
With a bang, the remaining arrow collapsed. Wang Lin's entire body was soaked in sweat, but the crisis had not ended; the second arrow came whistling in!
Unable to dodge, Wang Lin's expression turned crazed. With a low roar, he raised his right hand and pointed at the starry sky. At this critical juncture, he no longer cared about anything. He reached out and grabbed fiercely, and the Burning Realm Ancient Umbrella that had appeared in the starry sky earlier let out a deafening roar and suddenly descended. As it descended, the umbrella shrank, and Wang Lin finally grabbed its handle!
Holding this umbrella, Wang Lin's vitality rapidly drained away, pouring in large quantities into the ancient umbrella. His Ancient God body was originally full of vitality, but now, under this life-and-death crisis, Wang Lin could not afford to think too much. As his vitality poured in rapidly, his Ancient God Physical Body showed signs of withering in an instant!
The Burning Realm Ancient Umbrella had originally been opened by one-tenth. Now, under the crazed influx of Wang Lin's vitality, flames soared within it. The moment the second arrow was less than ten zhang from Wang Lin, he let out a roar, raised his left hand, and fiercely pushed the umbrella he held in his right hand upward!
Two-tenths!! In this instant, the ancient umbrella was opened by two-tenths thanks to Wang Lin's reckless method!
The World-Extinguishing Fire, carrying a scorching heat that could destroy the starry sky, roared out from within. With Wang Lin as the center, a sea of fire raged. Under this sea of fire, the starry sky immediately collapsed, as if it had been refined, creating a patch of Void Gazer!
The moment the second arrow neared, it immediately collided with the fire released by the two-tenths-opened ancient umbrella. Amidst the echoing roars, the second arrow trembled, as if it were about to melt. However, it contained power from the bow, causing the arrow to charge directly into the sea of fire, struggling within it as it closed in on Wang Lin!
All this sounds slow, but it was actually extremely fast. A distance of ten zhang, let alone for this arrow, would be crossed in a flash even by a Cultivator. Wang Lin's entire body was already withered, and as he extracted more vitality to pour into the ancient umbrella, his physical condition worsened. Seen from afar, he looked like an old Ancient God who had reached the end of his life; his once strong body was now like a skeleton!
The Burning Realm Ancient Umbrella absorbed vitality once more. With a crazed roar from Wang Lin, it opened a little more. Although it did not open by three-tenths, it was infinitely close!
As a result, the raging fire became even more terrifying. Rolling forward, the second arrow suddenly collapsed one zhang in front of Wang Lin! Although it collapsed, a sliver of power from the bow rushed out at the moment of collapse, breaking through the sea of fire and hitting Wang Lin in the chest.
With a boom, Wang Lin spat out blood. A tearing sensation immediately emerged from his chest, and the intense pain caused him to spit out blood while his body sped backward!
But the moment he retreated, a flash of killing intent appeared in Wang Lin's eyes. He had not been so severely injured for a long time. This injury further ignited his killing intent. As he retreated, he waved his right hand, and a bloody light immediately soared into the sky. The Blood Sword materialized. The Blood Sword could destroy all things, but only physical objects. If it were something like the white arrow, condensed from illusory vitality, it would not be very effective.
With a whistle, the Blood Sword was about to rush toward the gap in the Sealed Realm Grand Formation, which had healed to less than twenty zhang, when it was grabbed by Wang Lin, who suppressed his killing intent and resolved his previous impulse.
"Something is not right about this!!"
"I failed to kill this person, and I failed to lure him out…" The white-clothed Cultivator, who had become an old man, had a gloomy expression and disbelief in his eyes. He had used two arrows, yet he still hadn't killed the opponent. Now that his vitality had drained away too much, he sighed inwardly with regret. After coldly glancing at Wang Lin through the Sealed Realm Grand Formation, his heart stirred, and he turned and walked away into the distance.
But the moment his body retreated, a Demonic Qi suddenly erupted from within the Cloud Sea Star Domain. This Demonic Qi was too fast; the moment it appeared, it rushed straight toward the gap in the Sealed Realm Grand Formation, comparable to the speed of the previous arrows!
As the Demonic Qi surged, the Ghost Sect Demon Saint materialized directly outside the Sealed Realm Grand Formation. Nine stars rotated in his left eye, and his expression revealed greed as he stared fixedly at the bow in the old man's hand. However, his body was illusory; it was clearly not his true self but a Clone. Although his left eye also had nine stars, they were not real but formed by a projection.
With a savage grin, he moved with a roar, nearing the white-clothed Cultivator in an instant. He raised his demonic hand and grabbed at him fiercely!
He had been waiting for this opportunity for some time. In fact, the nine-star Ancient Demon had already been present the moment the white-clothed Cultivator appeared. It was just that he feared the power of the bow being drawn, so he waited until the opponent had drawn the bow twice, and seeing that he was about to leave, he split off a demonic body and immediately rushed out.
The moment the nine-star Ancient Demon neared the white-clothed Cultivator, the Cultivator turned around abruptly, a smile that was not quite a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"The small fish didn't come, but a big fish has arrived instead!"
An invisible pressure descended directly from the Primordial Stars, manifesting in the starry sky as a giant palm that descended silently toward the ground.
The nine-star Ancient Demon Clone's expression changed drastically. The greed in his eyes instantly vanished. Screaming, his body retreated rapidly, trying to avoid the palm. But his speed was still too slow under the palm's pressure; before he could return to the Sealed Realm Grand Formation, he was suddenly grabbed by the giant palm with a boom.
With a fierce squeeze, the nine-star Ancient Demon Clone immediately collapsed, turning into a large amount of Demonic Qi. After being completely absorbed by the palm, the palm slowly disappeared into the starry sky.
"Feng Yi, the first disciple of the Venerable Master, under the orders of my Master, delivers this bow to the Fellow Daoists of the Inner Realm! The bow is right here. The previous two arrows were merely to demonstrate the power of this bow. Any powerful experts in the Inner Realm who are confident may come and take it at any time!" The white-clothed Cultivator cupped his fists toward the Inner Realm Cultivators behind the Sealed Realm Grand Formation, then simply tossed the bow in his hand forward. The bow immediately flew out and floated motionless outside the gap in the Sealed Realm Grand Formation.
Waves of soft light radiated from the bow, revealing an attraction that drove people crazy!
"My Master has instructed me to pass on a message: he will give you in the Inner Realm three chances to take the bow. For each chance, you must return three-tenths of the Outer Realm Cultivators who are still alive! So, do you want this bow, or not?"
Killing intent appeared in Wang Lin's eyes. If he hadn't previously taken the Nether Beast as his Life Beast, allowing their Lifespans to be connected, opening the ancient umbrella just now would have been enough to dissipate over ninety percent of his Lifespan. However, even so, it could not be used much. Although the Nether Beast had abundant vitality, it could not withstand the crazed consumption of this ancient umbrella.
"What is the purpose of this Venerable Master's behavior… He seems to be somewhat afraid… He wants to use this bow to lure someone out…"
