Chapter 1586: Ancient Mystery, Life-Sealing Ring

Behind Wang Lin, the dao ancient head immediately materialized. This head was of infinite size, and the moment it appeared, it was not blurry but rather as substantial as reality behind Wang Lin, letting out heaven-shaking roars.

These roars shook all directions, making Wang Lin seem to possess supreme Divine Might at this moment. As Wang Lin took a step forward, the instant he reached the peak inside the Pagoda, he threw a punch.

As he swung his punch, the dao ancient head behind him roared even more violently, even twisting and swirling. It passed directly over Wang Lin's body and fused with his punch, forming a dao ancient punch that shook the heavens and earth.

The rumbling sounds echoed increasingly violently. In almost an instant, Wang Lin's fist struck the top of the interior of the Pagoda, and with a thunderous boom, the entire body of the Pagoda trembled violently.

Wang Lin stepped back, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. With a low growl, he stepped forward again and threw a second punch.

With heaven-shaking bangs, the Pagoda trembled, and several fine cracks suddenly appeared.

"A mere Pagoda dares to Seal me, Wang Lin!" Wang Lin shouted, clenched his right hand, and threw the third punch. This third punch landed on the Pagoda's body with a heaven-collapsing roar. Those cracks were immediately torn open, and as they continued to spread, they expanded across the entire Pagoda. Finally, with a loud boom, the Pagoda completely collapsed under Wang Lin's three punches.

Countless fragments surged backward, rapidly spreading in all directions. If one were to look from within the million-li mist, one could clearly see the process of the Pagoda's collapse, seeing the fragments like they were being swept up by a storm, spreading amidst waves of shrill whistling sounds.

One could even see that within the collapsing Pagoda, beneath the piercing rays of ten thousand feet of golden light, the white-haired Wang Lin walked out calmly with his hands behind his back.

Although the Heavenly Tribulation was strong, Wang Lin did not care in the slightest. In his view, this Heavenly Tribulation could not punish him!

The moment Wang Lin destroyed the Pagoda and walked out, muffled roars came again from the ten thousand feet Rift above. At the same time, amidst a flash of golden light, a third Magic Treasure floated out from the Rift!

This treasure was a circular golden ring. As soon as it appeared, the golden light emanating from the Rift became even more blinding, and a wave of pressure spread out. The strength of this pressure far exceeded the previous two Magic Treasures, and the instant it was released, it permeated the million-li mist and spread even further.

Situ Nan and the others outside the mist trembled in their hearts the moment they felt this pressure, vaguely rising with the illusion of facing supreme heavenly might.

Nan Yunzi's expression changed, and his body subconsciously retreated hundreds of feet. Since he was like this, not to mention the others; those thousands of Cultivators, including Situ Nan, all immediately retreated.

Among them, a few Cultivators who retreated a bit slower were struck by the pressure, their bodies trembling as they spat out large mouthfuls of blood, their faces turning pale as their Primordial Spirits suffered heavy suppression and damage.

"This… what kind of Magic Treasure is this!" As Nan Yunzi retreated, his eyes revealed an expression of disbelief. With his cultivation, he could feel that this pressure did not come from a Cultivator, but rather was the aura of a Magic Treasure.

Outside the million-li mist, the only person not affected by this Magic Treasure's aura pressure was Old Ghost Zhan in another direction. His gray hair moved without wind, and his eyes revealed a strange light. His gaze, which had been fixed inside the mist, moved away from Wang Lin for the first time and landed on the golden ring floating out from the Rift.

"Life-Sealing Ring! This object is the third treasure in his memory that set up the Heavenly Tribulation back then… This treasure even has some fame in the Immortal Astral Continent, but unfortunately, it became a Heavenly Tribulation, and unfortunately, my body…" Old Ghost Zhan shook his head and sighed secretly, but then his eyes lit up.

"If this Wang Lin can subdue this treasure, then the possibility that he is the third one will greatly increase! It's just… wanting to subdue this treasure has some difficulty…"

The pressure emanating from this golden ring was also clearly felt by Wang Lin. His eyes flashed, and for the first time, he revealed an expression of interest.

The moment Wang Lin looked at it, the golden ring suddenly paused, and the pressure on it surged explosively, becoming extremely violent. The surge in pressure immediately caused the million-li mist to roll with a boom, and the thousands of Inner Realm Cultivators outside all changed expressions and retreated again.

At the same time, amidst the venting of that violent pressure, the golden ring flashed and headed straight for Wang Lin.

As it traveled, the golden ring expanded weirdly, turning into hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye. With unimaginable speed, it instantly enveloped Wang Lin's body, moved down violently from above him, and after covering Wang Lin, it rapidly contracted.

Wang Lin's eyes revealed a strange light. He did not dodge or evade, but stood there, calmly waiting for the object to contract. In an instant, the golden ring turned from a hundred feet in size to a few feet, forming a small ring that wrapped directly around Wang Lin's forehead. It tightened violently, sinking firmly into his flesh, like a circular Seal!

This circular Seal pressed closely against the skin of Wang Lin's forehead, creating a deep indentation. At the same time, an invisible ripple entered Wang Lin's body, penetrated his flesh and blood, and directly formed the same ring on his Primordial Spirit, sealing the Primordial Spirit.

Even this was not the end. After sealing the Primordial Spirit, the ripple entered again. Because it was inherently invisible, it entered Wang Lin's soul and sealed his soul!

This was the Life-Sealing Ring!

Wang Lin closed his eyes, his expression calm, as if everything on his forehead simply did not exist, as if he had no perception of it at all. But within his closed eyes, there was now a hidden, flickering expression of deduction.

He had taken a liking to this Magic Treasure. He was using the power of his mind to study the structure of this treasure, searching for flaws and methods to make it his own. In this way, the fastest method was to experience it personally with his body.

In the Heavenly Tribulation, not to dodge, but to allow the Heavenly Tribulation treasure to land on him, to study and search for methods to seize this treasure—such things, throughout history, only Wang Lin could do so calmly!

He was naturally a bold person, and countless life-and-death experiences had allowed him to see through too, too much. At this moment, with his eyes closed, everything in the heavens and earth was false. In this falsehood, the operation of his mind reached a terrifying level.

This was a terrifying computational power formed by combining his insights as an Ancient God, as a Cultivator, his insights into the five Origins, his more than two thousand years of cultivation life experience, and the vast wisdom of a great Confucian scholar of his generation.

Under the calculation of his mind, as he looked, he no longer had a body, everything of his had dissipated, and all that remained was that golden ring. This ring emitted infinite golden light, and this golden light was composed of billions of runes. Under their rapid rotation, because the speed was too fast, the ring seemed to become substantial.

Every rune contained an aura. These billions of auras were completely different, but when combined together, they were extremely harmonious. As they rotated, they could Seal a person's Physical Body, could Seal the Primordial Spirit, and finally, after sealing the Primordial Spirit and Physical Body, they would Seal the soul. Once all were sealed, it was equivalent to sealing a person's life.

This treasure was very similar to the sealing power of the Feng Mie Clan, but there were also some differences.

All this sounds slow to describe, but in reality, for Wang Lin, it was just a turn of thought, and he had seen through a lot.

"This treasure is a semi-finished product… It is unknown who used Divine Ability to integrate it into this Heavenly Tribulation, borrowing the Heavenly Tribulation to make this treasure constantly complete. Right now, it is not far from its final completion. In another ten thousand years, I fear it will be finished… Interesting, Heavenly Tribulation, I seem to understand a little." A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Lin's mouth.

But just at this moment, the roaring sound coming from the ten thousand feet Rift above became clearer, as if it were right by his ear. At the same time, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the Rift. That figure was a thousand feet in size, and the moment it appeared, an Ancient God's aura erupted.

The moment its body stepped out of the Rift, it revealed its complete body. It was an Ancient God! This Ancient God had eight Ancient God Star Points rapidly rotating on its forehead, its expression ferocious, but its eyes were completely empty, as if it had lost its intelligence.

The Ancient God Star Points on its forehead were also different from Wang Lin's. While slightly dim, there seemed to be a Seal within them.

This Ancient God rushed out of the Rift, let out a heaven-shaking roar, and headed straight for Wang Lin, who had his eyes closed.

Behind this Ancient God, roars came again from the Rift, and three Ancient Gods with thousand-foot bodies stepped out simultaneously. These three Ancient Gods had rough skin, and there were countless scars on it as they ferociously charged at Wang Lin.

The roars were muffled. Inside the Rift, less than a breath after the four Ancient Gods stepped out, surging Devilish Qi erupted. That Devilish Qi was like ink, and as it permeated, it transformed into four Ancient Demons. These four Ancient Demons all had eight Demon Stars, and with cruel, bloodthirsty grins, they followed the Ancient Gods and charged at Wang Lin.

It was not over. After those four Ancient Demons stepped out, heaven-shaking Demonic Qi dispersed the Devilish Qi amidst waves of shrill whistling. As the Demonic Qi rampaged, four eight-star Ancient Fiends twisted out weirdly like smoke threads. Their terrifying appearance, sharp claws, and cyan skin made these four Ancient Fiends shocking to behold.

Four Ancient Gods, four Ancient Demons, four Ancient Fiends—these twelve eight-star ancient clan members, at this very instant, surrounded Wang Lin and roared as they approached.

Closer and closer!

Wang Lin was still closing his eyes, still deducing the structure and flaws of the ring on his forehead, his mind weaving through those billions of runes. Every time he understood one, the golden light of that rune would dissipate.

In this short period, thirty percent of these billions of runes had been controlled by Wang Lin. After losing their light, the golden ring also looked dim.

He seemed completely unaware that at this moment, outside his body, the murderous intent from those twelve ancient clan Cultivators was approaching. In an instant, the one closest to Wang Lin was the first Ancient God that had appeared.

Tomorrow afternoon, which is the 23rd, at 14:00, there will be an Er Gen Ku 6 interview. I am a little nervous, haha, I hope all Fellow Daoists will come to support.
