Chapter 1506: Dominating the Inner Realm—Long Panzi!

Standing in the starry sky, as nearly ten thousand Outer Realm Cultivators knelt down trembling, Wang Lin looked toward the massive Cultivation Planet. His expression was calm, the Demonic Star in his right eye flickered, and the repulsive force within his body erupted explosively, but he forcibly suppressed it again and again, ensuring outsiders could not detect any hint of it.

While suppressing the repulsive force inside him, Wang Lin gazed at the massive Cultivation Planet, his eyes filled with contemplation. This planet had a Restriction, which he surmised was the second gate to the Cultivation Alliance headquarters, besides the Vortex!

This Restriction was extremely ingenious. It used the dozens of small planets surrounding it as a Formation, interlocking with one another, allowing this planet to actually Cultivate, just like a Cultivator!!

Wang Lin had never seen such a thing before, and his gaze flickered upon witnessing it today.

“This planet is quite interesting… Yan Leizi, when you were still an Elder of the Alliance back then, did you ever hear anything about this planet?”

Yan Leizi awoke from his previous shock, his expression becoming even more respectful. He quickly clasped his fists and whispered, “Junior has heard something. This massive Cultivation Planet did not form naturally; it was refined by the Cultivation Alliance using a large number of other Cultivation Planets. Cultivating upon it yields twice the result with half the effort!

Furthermore, under the spell cast by Long Panzi back then, this planet was imbued with some kind of Divine Ability, becoming the Cultivation Alliance's second Formation. Its formidable power is rumored to surpass the Eternal Vortex… However, outsiders rarely had the chance to enter here back then, so Junior never witnessed the might of this Formation firsthand.”

After speaking softly, Yan Leizi seemed to recall something and spoke again: “That Long Panzi was the Grand Elder of the Cultivation Alliance back then, and also the master of Chong Xuanzi! However, that person passed away long ago and is already dead.”

“Not necessarily.” Wang Lin's gaze was like lightning as he looked at the massive Cultivation Planet. Inside it, he sensed four streams of Qi, three of which were clearly extremely nervous and faintly trembling.

The last stream of Qi seemed to be asleep… The nearly ten thousand Cultivators kneeling around them all trembled, their minds filled with terror. Their lives and deaths were no longer their own, completely controlled by the White-Robed Exalt who forced them to kneel.

The three Black Dragons were also coiled up and trembling, their eyes showing reverence. Even their roars had turned into whimpers.

Wang Lin withdrew his gaze from the massive Cultivation Planet. While suppressing the repulsive force inside him, he raised his right hand and grabbed toward the three Incense Black Dragons. The three Black Dragons shuddered and were involuntarily pulled toward Wang Lin.

Wang Lin clapped his right hand, and immediately one of the three intertwined Black Dragons was shaken out, grasped by Wang Lin by the neck in the Void Realm.

The Black Dragon twisted its body like a snake, its eyes covered in terror. Golden light shone from Wang Lin's eyes as he looked at the Black Dragon. His gaze possessed penetrating power, clearly seeing thousands of Incense Souls faintly residing within the Black Dragon's Incense World—they were Inner Realm Cultivators… A few among them looked vaguely familiar to Wang Lin.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he squeezed hard with his right hand. With a boom, the Black Dragon screamed and its body twisted. A golden light flashed from Wang Lin's right hand and merged into the Black Dragon's body. In a single rotation, it shook the souls of the thousands of swallowed Inner Realm Cultivators out of its body, dissipating them and sending them into Reincarnation.

With a flick, Wang Lin tossed this Incense Black Dragon to Yan Leizi.

“Do you remember when we first met back then, and you said I was your fated person… This item is for you. Incense is poisonous, but for you, the benefits might outweigh the harm. With this Incense, if you have the Opportunity, you might become a great powerhouse!”

Yan Leizi's body trembled, and an overwhelming excitement appeared on his face. He immediately grabbed the Black Dragon that Wang Lin had Sealed, speechless for a long time. Amidst his excitement and complexity, he bowed deeply toward Wang Lin!

How could he forget their first meeting back then? The phrase “fated person” was originally a jest, and he never imagined in his life that the joke from that year would now become Karma!

“The Shen Gong Family has a son named Shen Gonghu. Is he still alive?” Wang Lin glanced at the nearly ten thousand Outer Realm Cultivators around him. In his eyes, these people were already dead.

Yan Leizi tremblingly put away the Black Dragon. He was originally an Old Monster who had Cultivated for ten thousand years, possessing composure far beyond ordinary Cultivators. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he respectfully said, “Shen Gonghu? Junior remembers him; he is still in Luotian.”

A hint of recollection appeared in Wang Lin's eyes, and scenes involving Shen Gonghu surfaced in his mind. Back then, his cultivation was inferior to the other party's, yet Shen Gonghu had the perseverance to recognize him as his Sovereign Lord. Wang Lin always smiled whenever he recalled this incident.

“Shen Gonghu and I have a past connection. After you return to Luotian, look after him for me…” Wang Lin raised his right hand and clapped again. The second Black Dragon was shaken out. After Wang Lin grasped it, Sealed it, and dispersed the souls of the Inner Realm Cultivators within it, he tossed it to Yan Leizi.

“Take this item and deliver it to Shen Gonghu for me. Tell him this is the good fortune I bestow upon him for speaking the words 'Sovereign Lord' back then!”

Yan Leizi was stunned, feeling a faint envy in his heart. He quickly acknowledged the command and put away the second Incense Black Dragon.

His golden gaze fell upon the third Black Dragon. A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, and he slowly spoke.

“Since you can understand my words, go swallow the ten thousand Cultivators here and break this Formation for me, and I can spare your life!” The Black Dragon trembled, suddenly raised its head, turned around, and let out a roar. With a swing of its massive body, it charged straight toward the numerous Outer Realm Cultivators behind it.

Piercing screams echoed continuously throughout the starry sky. The miserable sounds made even Yan Leizi's eyelids twitch wildly. Although he was an Inner Realm Cultivator, watching those Outer Realm Cultivators being swallowed and dying one by one, their struggles seemed utterly fragile before the Black Dragon.

Watching this scene, while feeling satisfied, he also developed a deeper sense of awe toward Wang Lin's ruthlessness.

Before the Black Dragon, these nearly ten thousand Cultivators were completely powerless to resist. Especially since the Black Dragon, gripped by fear and despair, heard a sliver of hope in Wang Lin's words, it became nearly insane, letting out monstrous roars that shook the heavens. In just the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, not one of the nearly ten thousand Cultivators survived!

They were all swallowed, becoming souls within its Incense World. Simultaneously, the flesh and blood of these nearly ten thousand Cultivators merged into its body, causing the Black Dragon's color to almost turn purple!

The sharp barbs on the outside of its body wriggled and grew out even more, and even the single horn protruding from its head grew another inch.

With a roar, the Black Dragon's body also doubled in size. Its terrifying body, tens of thousands of yards long, moved ferociously and charged toward the massive Cultivation Planet.

Its speed was so fast that it left afterimages. It approached abruptly in an instant, and with a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and earth, it slammed directly into the massive Cultivation Planet.

A tremendous rumbling sound spread in all directions. The massive Cultivation Planet shuddered, and the numerous smaller Cultivation Planets surrounding it seemed to be pulled by a strange force, suddenly rushing forward to strike.

The roaring noise startled the starry sky. Amidst the Black Dragon's collision, a circular shockwave spread frantically in all directions. The Black Dragon's body shook and it was sent tumbling back a great distance.

The massive Cultivation Planet also shook, and numerous Rifts and ravines appeared on its surface!

Wang Lin stood there calmly, the repulsive force inside him having been slowly suppressed once more. He stared at the massive Cultivation Planet. The moment the Rifts and ravines appeared on its surface, the fourth stream of Qi, which had been dormant, suddenly awoke!

With its awakening, the massive Cultivation Planet seemed to come alive. The numerous small planets surrounding it arranged themselves into two rows, connected by streams of faint light, crisscrossing and dividing on both sides of the massive Cultivation Planet.

Furthermore, a white light permeated the massive Cultivation Planet. That white light shot up into the sky, and within it, a white-haired old man faintly materialized.

The white-haired old man's body was illusory, connected to the Cultivation Planet, inseparable from it, as if he were the very soul of the planet!

“Those who offend my Alliance shall have their Dao extinguished, their souls scattered, their flesh perished, and their bodies destroyed!” A soul-sound filled with ancient vicissitudes emanated from the old man's body, spreading toward the starry sky, entering Wang Lin's soul and Yan Leizi's body.

“Long Panzi!!!” The moment Yan Leizi saw the white-haired old man, his eyes widened abruptly, and he cried out involuntarily.

From a distance, the Cultivation Planet that housed the Cultivation Alliance headquarters was astonishing. The massive Cultivation Planet was like a torso without legs, and the small planets arranged in two rows were the arms of this body!

As for the old man who materialized within the boundless white light, connected to the Cultivation Planet, he was like the head of this body!

How could this still be considered a Cultivation Planet? This was clearly a person!

“What great courage! To merge one's own Primordial Spirit and soul into this Cultivation Planet for refinement, like a cuckoo usurping a magpie's nest, allowing oneself to become an eternally indestructible soul to some extent through Fusion!” Wang Lin had long noticed the strangeness of this Cultivation Planet, which was why he had the Black Dragon test it. Now, seeing all this, his golden eyes flashed, and he immediately understood everything clearly!

Long Panzi, the master of Chong Xuanzi, must have been at the end of his Lifespan back then. On the verge of death, he conceived this breathtaking idea of seizing the fortune of heaven and earth, and perfectly brought this idea to fruition!

No Old Monster should ever be underestimated. A person who could devise such a method possesses great wisdom. Wang Lin looked at the illusory old man, and even though they were currently adversaries, he still felt admiration in his heart.

Yan Leizi watched everything. Being a person of superior intellect, he realized the truth after a moment of contemplation, gasping sharply, his expression showing shock.

“I only met this Long Panzi once back then. I thought he had already passed away, but I never expected… never expected!!”

Wang Lin's gaze flashed, and he raised his right hand to point forward. Immediately, the previously retreating Black Dragon struggled and roared again, charging out frantically. Its body, tens of thousands of yards long, whistled as it once again rushed toward the Cultivation Planet!

It roared repeatedly, and the moment it approached, it opened its massive mouth and violently spewed outwards. Its Incense World opened wide in its mouth, and countless Incense Souls inside rushed out rapidly amidst murmuring sounds, spreading in all directions like Dragon Flames, heading straight for the Cultivation Planet!

But at this very instant, a sudden shocking change occurred! A fierce and frantic roar suddenly erupted from within the Cultivation Planet. This roar carried a sense of madness, and an indescribably terrifying Evil Qi that shook the heavens!

This Evil Qi could only belong to someone who had committed boundless slaughter throughout their life. This slaughter was none other than the Origin of Slaughter!!

This roar was familiar to Wang Lin, very familiar. The moment it erupted, Wang Lin's expression changed for the first time, and a surge of excitement emerged!

“Senior Brother Qing Shui!!”

I like Qing Shui, I like him very much, and I like his story. Although I gave it to him, I still find him tragic yet respectable.

When I first wrote about the Qing Shui Country about two years ago, even though it was only mentioned briefly, his story was already written in the outline. Although it was only a few hundred characters, as I wrote, I felt sorrow for him.

Perhaps I have a certain obsession when writing novels: I don't want to write about some random passerby A or passerby B. I want to do my utmost to write a flesh-and-blood person, and this applies not just to the protagonist, but also to the supporting characters.

I like Qing Shui, and I hope you like him too.
