Chapter 1517: Dominating the Inner Realm, Heartbreak, and Gifting a Treasure! (Fourth Update)

"To achieve the Dao with the Origin of Slaughter and become a Third Step mighty figure, one doesn't need the aid of incense. The Origin of Slaughter within Senior Brother Qing Shui was originally planted by that seven-colored person, but ultimately, it wasn't taken away; instead, most of it was left behind. This caused Senior Brother Qing Shui to trigger the Door of Void as soon as his Seal was broken!" Wang Lin's eyes showed contemplation as he instantly analyzed the truth.

"But why didn't that seven-colored person take away this Origin of Slaughter… Could it be that his purpose wasn't for this Origin of Slaughter, as I previously thought… If not for the Origin of Slaughter, then what was he after… What did he want to gain from Senior Brother Qing Shui?!!" Wang Lin's eyes flickered. The more he thought, the more he felt something was amiss. Just then, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in his mind, recalling the sharp thorn that had tilted Qing Shui's heavenly spirit by several inches earlier!

"The heavenly spirit is the intersection of life and death. The place where this sharp thorn tilted several inches, that seven-colored person said it was the place to open Reincarnation… Reincarnation… Reincarnation is inherently ethereal. Could the purpose of this seven-colored person be to make Senior Brother Qing Shui undergo Reincarnation under the Origin of Slaughter… But even so, what would be the use…?"

"And that sentence he said, where he confirmed that I had no relation to him. Does this imply that Senior Brother Qing Shui is related to him… If so, what is their connection…?" Wang Lin was completely baffled. He felt as if he had vaguely grasped something, but it remained unclear.

From the time he went to the Land of Falling and met Greedy Wolf, obtaining that seven-colored statue, Wang Lin had vaguely sensed a layer of mist. Beyond this mist lay a huge secret concerning the Inner Realm and Outer Realm!

This secret, due to the existence of the mist, could never be clearly understood by Wang Lin. It wasn't until the first battle in the Cloud Sea, the appearance of Old Ghost Zhan, and his few conversations with the Venerable Master, that Wang Lin began to form endless conjectures.

In his view, even the several great battles between the Inner Realm and Outer Realm were part of what lay behind this mist, with countless intricate connections!

"What exactly is this seven-colored person looking for!" As he pondered, Wang Lin recalled the Crystal Stone on the back of the Black Tortoise in the Seven-Colored Realm. This stone had already been taken by him.

A heaven-shaking roar interrupted Wang Lin's thoughts. He looked up and saw Qing Shui's long hair fluttering as he pointed into the Void at the Door of Void that had appeared in the sky.

The great door rumbled with a tremendous sound, trembling as it subtly showed signs of opening.

Staring at the Door of Void, Wang Lin's eyes revealed a yearning. He wanted to become a Third Step mighty figure. Only with sufficient cultivation could he possibly uncover the secrets behind this mist and be qualified to resurrect Li Muwan!

"Life and Death, Karma, True and False—these three Origins, I must achieve Major Achievement… It shouldn't be far!" Wang Lin's gaze was like lightning, revealing a look of confidence.

"Now that I have two Dao Fruits, with one more, I will have a ninety percent chance of success! The Third Step is very close!" Wang Lin took a deep breath. At this moment, a roar erupted again, and with a long laugh, Qing Shui's body moved towards the Door of Void.

With a wave of his hand, the Origin of Slaughter surged, and black snowflakes from across the sky frantically gathered, forming a long sword around his body. Grabbing this sword, Qing Shui let out a low roar towards the sky and fiercely slashed down at the Door of Void!

"Today, this Immortal Lord achieves the Dao, opens the Heavenly Gate, and enters the Great Dao!" The might of this sword shook heaven and earth, transforming into a black storm of slaughter, carrying a mad killing intent directly towards the Void Gate.

Getting closer and closer, in an instant, this black Sword Qi storm of slaughter approached the Door of Void. With a resounding boom that shook this Savage Star and the starry sky, a tremendous roar surged forth.

It was seen that the Door of Void, under the collision of this storm, actually developed fine Rifts. Before it could open, it directly collapsed by more than half, forcibly blasted open!

Wang Lin took a deep breath. He looked at Qing Shui; the Origin of Slaughter emanating from his body was stronger than all other Origin powers Wang Lin had ever seen. This power, this aura, was incredibly astonishing!

The Door of Void was shattered by more than half by Qing Shui's sword, pushing inward. A soft light immediately descended from within, enveloping Qing Shui's body.

This light had no color, spreading across the sky. In its vastness, it all converged on Qing Shui's body, rapidly merging into him, causing Qing Shui's aura to surge dramatically. In a moment, an aura of void nirvana Early Stage enveloped the heavens and earth.

This aura contained slaughter, and even more, countless illusory figures appeared around Qing Shui's body. These figures were endless in number, all of them people Qing Shui had killed in his lifetime!

These boundless illusory figures, the moment they appeared, trembled as they looked at Qing Shui, revealing fear. They seemed to let out screams, but no sound at all was emitted.

Under the silent screams, these illusory figures trembled and knelt on the ground, actually worshipping Qing Shui! But there was one person who did not kneel, but silently watched Qing Shui from among the crowd, a gentle smile on her face.

This was a woman!

Qing Shui stared blankly at the woman, and two lines of tears slowly streamed down his eyes. He extended his right hand, and the woman's smile grew even more beautiful, her gaze gentle, as she slowly walked towards him.

Gradually, the woman came closer and closer, finally standing before Qing Shui, within the crook of his right arm, held by Qing Shui. Tears streamed down Qing Shui's face as he looked at the woman in his arms and began to weep bitterly.

A dignified Immortal Lord, a mighty figure of the Origin of Slaughter, he had been a tough man even when the ten thorns were extracted, enduring unimaginable pain without a full roar or shedding tears. But at this moment, the instant he embraced this woman, he cried.

Like a Mortal, he held the woman tightly, his tears increasing. He held her very, very tightly, as if afraid that if he let go, she would disappear, leaving him forever.

The woman bit her lower lip, and in her smile, there also seemed to be tearful eyes, but a soul has no tears, so even these tears were illusory; one could only see her crying, but not the tear stains.

This was Soul Sorrow.

In Qing Shui's embrace, the woman smiled silently, cried silently. She slowly raised her right hand, gently placing it on Qing Shui's face, as if to wipe away his tears, but she couldn't touch him.

The sorrow in Qing Shui's eyes was heartbreaking. He also raised his left hand, wanting to caress the woman's hair in his arms, but in the end, he also couldn't do it.

He watched helplessly as the woman in his arms slowly passed through his arm, retreating backward. It was as if a suction force was pulling her away, gradually drawing her body farther. Her body was like a wisp of smoke, just like her name, slowly disappearing.

"Hanyan!!!" Qing Shui let out a heaven-shaking roar towards the sky. At this moment, he forgot that he had blasted open the Void Gate, he forgot everything. In his eyes, at this instant, there was only this one woman!

His wife, Hanyan! To retrieve his wife's memento, he didn't hesitate to destroy the Slaughter Realm. His love for his wife was his entire life, his joy, and also the root of his pain.

Seeing his wife's remnant soul, which had materialized due to the appearance of the Door of Void and the Major Achievement of the Origin of Slaughter, about to disappear again, that image of his beloved, which he had kept in his heart for tens of thousands of years, was about to vanish. This pain caused Qing Shui to let out an extremely mournful roar. He rushed forward, he wanted to keep his wife's soul!

Even if he didn't want this Third Step, even if he gave up everything, he had to keep this soul! Even if this soul was incomplete, just a weak projection that appeared when the Door of Void opened… However, the woman's figure was getting farther and farther away. Her tears were unclear, nonexistent, but the sorrow on her face was unforgettable for a lifetime.

With sorrow, she always kept a smile, silently watching Qing Shui.

Wang Lin watched all of this. In his silence, he raised his right hand and grabbed at the Void. Immediately, a Storage Rift appeared, from which more than ten Ancient Breath Leaves flew out. He didn't know if this item could help Qing Shui, but he had to try.

With the Ancient Breath Leaves present, Wang Lin formed Hand Seals with both hands, casting millions of Restrictions, making the Ancient Breath Leaves even more powerful. Moving forward, Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, sweeping these more than ten Ancient Breath Leaves directly forward, pointing at the woman who was retreating far away and about to dissipate. These more than ten Ancient Breath Leaves immediately flew, heading straight ahead.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Lin bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of pale golden blood. This blood was his Bloodline Power, the blood of an Immortal!

As the golden blood emerged, Immortal power permeated and enveloped the more than ten Ancient Breath Leaves, turning them golden. With a whoosh, they passed directly through Qing Shui, circled around the woman, and sealed inward!

The woman's body suddenly paused. Golden Qi permeated around her. Under its envelopment, the more than ten Ancient Breath Leaves went straight for her body, transforming into a Heaven and Earth Seal, completely solidifying her form.

Qing Shui embraced the woman, tears streaming down as he murmured some words. The woman also silently held Qing Shui, as if for eternity.

After a long while, Qing Shui looked up. With a wave of his left hand, an ancient hairpin appeared. This item was precisely the memento he had retrieved from the annihilated realm. He slowly placed this hairpin on the woman's head.

Staring intently at the woman, the sorrow in Qing Shui's eyes deepened. After a long moment, he turned to look at Wang Lin, his gratitude indescribable.

He raised his left hand and grabbed at the Void. Immediately, the black long sword that had previously blasted open the Void Gate materialized in his hand. With a shake, all the kneeling souls around, except for the woman, were absorbed into the black sword.

An extremely dense aura of the Origin of Slaughter erupted from this black sword, stirring heaven and earth.

"Wang Lin, this sword was condensed when I broke through the Void Gate. It helped me blast open the Void Gate, contains the aura of the Void Realm, contains my life's slaughter, and also my Soul Power. It is formed from the Origin of Slaughter. I give it to you! Refine and comprehend it, and you will possess the Origin of Slaughter!"

With a toss from Qing Shui, this black sword whistled towards Wang Lin, floating motionless before him. The waves of slaughter Qi made even Wang Lin feel a tremor in his heart.

This sword was a complete and Major Achievement Origin of Slaughter!

This sword could be said to be Qing Shui's strongest item currently, his first Origin Magic Treasure as a Third Step mighty figure! Not everyone among Third Step mighty figures could condense an Origin Magic Treasure when breaking through the Void Gate; such people were extremely rare!

The Fire Sparrow Clan's Old Ancestor, Revered Nanzhao, Revered Master Tianzhao, Zhou Jin, and Ling Dong, none of them could do it. Even Hong Shanzi and Nanyunzi couldn't.

The preciousness of this item is evident!

Finally finished the fourth update. Let me count, ah, this is the 52nd update this month, wakaka, only 28 more to go, no pressure, no pressure.
