Chapter 164: Devil Head’s Abnormality

Wang Lin's eyes gleamed with cold light as he stared at the transformed Devil Head beast. His extreme realm Divine Sense suddenly left his body, transforming into a giant red flood dragon that roared at the little Devil Head beast.

The majesty of once being a Soul Devourer immediately manifested. Not to mention the little Devil Head beast, even the Devil Head Xu Ligou was so frightened that it immediately cowered on the ground, not daring to move. That sense of pressure from a natural predator made it tremble with fear.

The transformed little Devil Head beast struggled and roared a few times as well, but compared to Wang Lin, it seemed utterly powerless. Slowly, a look of pleading appeared in the little beast's eyes.

The giant red flood dragon formed by Divine Sense stared coldly at the Devil Head for a while before Wang Lin slowly retracted it back into his body. At the same time, he waved his right hand, taking out a Soul Banner. Without a word, the Devil Head transformed into red smoke and drilled into the Soul Banner.

Wang Lin left a trace of Divine Sense on the Soul Banner before putting it back into his Storage Pouch. Simultaneously, he waved his right hand, and threads of fine lines immediately lit up all around him. These were all preliminary measures he had set up with his Divine Sense to subdue the Devil Head.

As Wang Lin grabbed with his large hand, these Divine Sense threads immediately merged together and were retracted by him.

The reason he could see through the little Devil Head beast's movements, no matter how fast it was, was partly due to these Divine Sense threads. As soon as he detected something abnormal with this Devil Head, Wang Lin had silently transformed the surrounding Divine Sense Restrictions into countless threads, densely distributed all around, like a spiderweb.

No matter where the little beast intruded, Wang Lin would immediately perceive it. At the same time, the trace of Divine Sense he had left in its body after it had absorbed many souls also played a huge role.

With the combined effect of both, it was no surprise that Wang Lin could detect the Devil Head's actions.

After retracting his Divine Sense, Wang Lin stood up and looked out through the tower window. After a moment of contemplation, his body suddenly moved, and he walked down. At the tower door, he tidied himself up and stepped out. The Devil Head followed closely behind, and seeing Wang Lin's body sink into the ground, it quickly followed.

Unfortunately, before it could follow for long, Wang Lin grabbed it and threw it into the Dragon Vein.

At this depth, the resistance from the ground had become extremely great. Wang Lin needed to use almost ninety percent of his spiritual power to resist the force, so his speed inevitably slowed down.

While slowly moving forward, his Divine Sense spread out above ground, cautiously observing the distance.

Several days later, Wang Lin's expression stirred. He saw in his Divine Sense a black cloud in the far distance, moving extremely fast and rapidly flying towards him.

Wherever the black cloud passed, hurricanes scattered. Occasionally, those that couldn't dodge in time immediately collapsed into small beasts and were devoured by the black cloud. Wang Lin stared at the black cloud, immediately swallowed an anti-poison Medicinal Pill again, and slowly sank his body.

Not long after, the black cloud roared closer. Behind the black cloud was none other than the Hurricane King. At this moment, the hurricane spun rapidly, stirring up countless strong winds, which propelled the black cloud to move quickly.

The Hurricane King blew the black cloud past Wang Lin's hiding place in a flash, moving far away. Not long after, the Hurricane King returned. This time, it was even faster, emitting a violent roar as it flashed past again and disappeared into the distance.

After it left, Wang Lin slowly moved forward again. He sneered inwardly, knowing that the black cloud must have been created by Meng Tuozi. Looking at its power, if the Hurricane King hadn't blown it away, once it spread, those small beasts would likely suffer heavy casualties.

He pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering. He thought that if these small beasts could kill Meng Tuozi, he would surely have many treasures and Medicinal Pills. Thinking of the treasures on a great Soul Transformation Stage master, Wang Lin couldn't help but feel his heart pound. But soon, he dismissed the thought; compared to treasures, his life was more important.

Sighing inwardly, Wang Lin put away those unrealistic thoughts and continued forward. However, after confirming Meng Tuozi's direction, his path changed slightly, no longer a straight line but a detour.

Half a month later, under Wang Lin's careful caution, he bypassed the hurricane cluster that had startled him with just a glance from his Divine Sense.

That was a dense cluster of hurricanes, with a number of small beasts that probably exceeded several hundred million. Wang Lin's scalp tingled, and he became even more cautious, finally getting past it after half a month.

Fortunately, most of the hurricanes in the Earth Element region were attracted by Meng Tuozi. Wang Lin traveled carefully along the way, encountering no major dangers. He now stood inside a black tower, looking back. Meng Tuozi was there!

After a few sneers, Wang Lin left the black tower without a word and walked forward. He could already see a huge Vortex in the sky far ahead.

That Vortex was identical to the one in the Void Realm, clearly leading to the second trial!

Wang Lin took a deep breath and walked towards the Vortex. The Earth Evasion technique could no longer be used here; the underground resistance was too great, making it impossible to perform Earth Evasion even if he used all his spiritual power to resist.

However, Earth Evasion is not only for increasing speed underground. Even if not underground, as long as there is earth beneath one's feet, its speed, though much slower than a Flying Sword, is still a bit faster than walking purely on foot.

In these past few months, Wang Lin had used Earth Evasion almost daily. His evasion technique was now extremely proficient. Vaguely, Wang Lin himself could perceive that the Earth Evasion technique he Cultivated was merely superficial compared to the Divine Ability of Shrinking the Ground into an Inch, traveling thousands of miles in an instant, as described on the Earth Evasion Jade Slip.

While Wang Lin sighed, his Divine Sense did not forget to spread out, cautiously observing his surroundings. Fortunately, most of the hurricanes had been attracted by Meng Tuozi, so Wang Lin walked quickly without encountering any danger.

Three days later, the Vortex was already within sight. As Wang Lin was walking, his body suddenly paused. Without a word, he immediately drilled into the ground. Immediately, immense resistance powerfully emanated from underground. He quickly drank a large mouthful of spiritual liquid, mobilizing his internal spiritual power to resist it.

Not far away, more than ten hurricanes suddenly appeared. These hurricanes came from the Vortex, their target being Meng Tuozi's direction. As they passed the ground where Wang Lin was hidden, these hurricanes suddenly stopped, swirling around without moving.

Wang Lin's heart sank. He had tried the Heaven Defying space before, but for some reason, he couldn't enter it here. Otherwise, he could have simply entered it and passed through safely.

Wang Lin glanced at the distant Vortex, quickly calculated in his heart, then gritted his teeth, slapped his Storage Pouch, and the Devil Head immediately appeared. It immediately sensed a large number of small beasts outside, excitedly rushing out of the ground without thinking too much.

Unfortunately, as soon as its figure appeared, the surrounding ten-plus hurricanes immediately let out intense roars. Tens of thousands of Divine Senses combined, forming a bolt of lightning that crashed down towards the Devil Head.

The Devil Head screamed a few times. The combined Divine Sense of its opponents was far beyond what it could handle. Its body immediately emitted green smoke, and it was so scared that it desperately wanted to return to Wang Lin's side. At this moment, the second wave of Divine Sense attacks arrived like lightning.

At the same time, Wang Lin brought out the Soul Banner. With a shake, the second Devil Head immediately appeared. After this Devil Head emerged from the ground, it paused for a moment, then suddenly let out a sharp cry.

As this cry emerged, the hurricanes immediately shook, no longer rotating. Instead, countless small beasts flapping their wings were revealed within them. These small beasts looked at the second Devil Head with surprise, and even the second wave of Divine Sense attacking the Devil Head Xu Ligou was immediately retracted.

The second Devil Head's eyes glowed red, and it let out a few more sharp shrieks. The small beasts immediately scattered backward, their eyes showing fear as they looked at this Devil Head.

Wang Lin was greatly astonished, his eyes flickering as he pondered. As for the Devil Head Xu Ligou, it immediately felt humiliated. Recovering its memory wasn't necessarily a good thing; at least before recovering its memory, it would never have felt this humiliation. At this moment, it thought to itself: "This is too embarrassing, to be saved by a junior. I was the first one to follow the Evil Star, after all! No, if this continues, the Evil Star will make more and more juniors, and each one will be stronger than me. No, absolutely not!"

The Devil Head gritted its teeth, then immediately rushed out, drilled into a hurricane, grabbed a few small beasts, and immediately plunged into their bodies, devouring them.

Those small beasts immediately panicked and were about to dodge, when suddenly the second Devil Head shrieked a few more times. The small beasts immediately dared not move, their eyes showing even deeper fear.

The more Wang Lin watched, the brighter his eyes became. He now had a slight analysis in his heart: this second Devil Head, in the eyes of other small beasts, should be something between a kin and an anomaly. There should be some mysterious change here that caused it to surpass its kin, leading to the scene before them.

If this were true, the reason these small beasts' Divine Senses could merge together also gradually became clear. Wang Lin's eyes flickered, and his body immediately drilled out from underground.

The moment he appeared, although the group of small beasts showed vigilance in their eyes, they did not panic, nor did they actively attack.

At this time, the second Devil Head glanced at Xu Ligou, who was currently devouring, and let out a few strange cries. Immediately, all the small beasts' bodies shook, and their Divine Senses left their bodies one after another, condensing together. Lightning reappeared, targeting Xu Ligou.

The Devil Head Xu Ligou immediately chuckled awkwardly, a fawning expression on its face, and quickly spat out all the Divine Senses it had just devoured. Only then did it swiftly return behind Wang Lin, its fawning expression replaced by a look of gnashing teeth, glaring fiercely at the second Devil Head.

It muttered inwardly: "You just wait, you just wait for me! If you push me too hard, I'll go up and fight you!"

Wang Lin didn't even look at Xu Ligou. He secretly held the defensive Jade Slip given by Li Muwan in his hand, and his Divine Sense slowly spread out, observing each of these small beasts. Eventually, he discovered that within each of these ten-plus groups of small beasts, there was an anomaly whose Divine Sense was clearly much stronger than its peers.

As Wang Lin observed, the dozen or so anomalies he detected suddenly flew out, stopped in front of the second Devil Head, and emitted bursts of sharp cries.
