Chapter 1646: Ancient Mystery, Absolutely No Mistake!

The timing of Venerable Master's appearance was extremely precise. He appeared in this Star Domain almost at the exact moment Wang Lin fired his second arrow. Towards Wang Lin, Venerable Master already harbored a killing intent!

In terms of cultivation, his Venerable Master cultivation had already entered Mysterious Tribulation, and apart from a limited few, no one was his match! In terms of status, even though he was a servant in Immortal Astral Continent, to outsiders, he was a subordinate of a marquis, and even they had to show him some respect.

In this Immortal Cave Realm, he was the leader of the five Venerables of the Outer Realm, holding a high position for tens of thousands of years, revered by countless Cultivators, and regarded as a god by many tribes.

He also had the Venerable Master's Association, and his single word was enough to stir up a catastrophe in the Outer Realm! Even some Immortal Consorts couldn't be overbearing in front of him; this was Venerable Master!

Even in the Inner Realm, his Venerable Master name was renowned. Most who knew of him harbored a sense of fear, and the past events all bore witness to Venerable Master's profound and unfathomable schemes!

From the powerful encirclement and killing of Feng Zun back then, to the arrival of the Rune Tribe that drew out Qing Lin, and his participation in the destruction of the four great Immortal Realms, and finally, he left many seeds in the Inner Realm: Zhan Xingye, the senior Disciple of the Heaven-Shattering Sect in the Cloud Sea, and Daoist Shui. All these people had Venerable Master's shadow behind them.

He also instigated successive wars between the Inner Realm and Outer Realm, becoming the leader of these wars. The Cultivators who died by his hand were enough to pave a Starry Sky.

In his life, before encountering Wang Lin, he only had three moments of embarrassment. The first was being forced by Seven-Colored to become his Disciple. However, being able to be forced by Daoist Seven-Colored also sufficiently proved Venerable Master's great talent.

The second was his first encounter in the Primordial Stars with Old Ghost Zhan, who had intruded to plunder incense. In their battle, Venerable Master was defeated. In that battle, he deeply remembered the three words Old Ghost Zhan!

As for the third time, it was when Venerable Master entered the Inner Realm to search for Li Guang's Arrow; he was severely injured by a single roar and fled in disarray.

Aside from these three times, his Venerable Master could be said to have gotten whatever he wanted and never miscalculated! Until he met Wang Lin, it was as if Wang Lin was Venerable Master's destined nemesis, driving Venerable Master almost to madness.

His first scheme against Wang Lin was when Wang Lin first stepped into the Primordial Stars. Venerable Master wanted to 'fish the moon from the well' to seize Wang Lin's soul, but this time, not only was he stopped by Daoist Blue Dream, but he also lost Wang Lin's aura due to the opening of the Ancient Tomb.

This was still considered an accident, and Venerable Master didn't take it to heart.

But soon, a second time occurred. At the entrance of the Ancient Tomb, he watched helplessly as Wang Lin sealed several tenths of the Outer Realm's power. Just as he was about to rescue them, Wang Lin used the power of the Ancient Tomb's lowest level to let out a loud roar.

This roar, like a sharp sword, whistled madly, directly colliding with Venerable Master, causing him to spit out fresh blood and quickly retreat.

This could also barely be called an accident. Although Venerable Master was frustrated, he understood the reason.

However, the matter did not end there. There was a third time between him and Wang Lin. On the Cloud Sea battlefield, his Disciple took out Li Guang's Bow and was ordered to send it into the Inner Realm, which drew out Old Ghost Zhan. During their battle, the bow actually fell into Wang Lin's hands. If that were all, it would have been fine, but Wang Lin later even obtained Li Guang's Arrow, causing Venerable Master's mind to darken slightly.

But even then, Venerable Master didn't take Wang Lin seriously. He always believed that the previous few times were merely accidents. Even if Wang Lin had the bow and arrow, due to his Bloodline, he couldn't unleash its full power. Killing Wang Lin would be as easy as turning his palm!

Until the fourth time, he and many other great powers of the Outer Realm used the 'fishing the moon from the well' technique to form an Illusory True Realm, luring Wang Lin there to kill him!

This time, he calculated everything, leaving almost no omissions. He even forced Wang Lin to unleash all his power. In the end, although Wang Lin released the Immortal Astral Soul sealed by dao ancient Ye Mo, it couldn't change his trajectory of death. Venerable Master's calculations, he believed, would absolutely not go wrong again!

However, Venerable Master never dreamed that an accident would still occur this time. The appearance of the madman caused huge waves in his heart, and it completely shattered this life-and-death killing tribulation!

Not only did he fail to kill Wang Lin, but he also became the reason for Wang Lin's cultivation to surge. This matter made Venerable Master's frustration extremely intense!

Yet, he still didn't acknowledge Wang Lin, still believing that the other party was merely lucky. It wasn't until the fifth time, when Wang Lin's single arrow struck him down, that Venerable Master, reborn through the Three Lives Technique, truly sobered up.

One, two, three, four times were accidents. Could the fifth time still be an accident? This was no accident at all; this Wang Lin was clearly his nemesis!

Wang Lin was like a thorn in Venerable Master's heart, deeply embedded, making him unable to suppress the frustration and almost driving him mad whenever he thought of it.

"This time, there will be no mistake!" Venerable Master appeared ten thousand zhang away from Wang Lin. He stared at Wang Lin, flicked his sleeve, and his body transformed into a long rainbow, heading straight for Wang Lin.

His Mysterious Tribulation cultivation erupted at this instant. As his cultivation spread, the Starry Sky trembled, and a terrifying invisible ripple swept across. Wang Lin's expression was calm, but his body continuously retreated, step by step.

Venerable Master's power was far beyond what he could contend with. At this moment, with his cultivation erupting, it was as if the Starry Sky had become a sea of raging waves, and Wang Lin was like a lone leaf, constantly retreating under the roar of the waves!

"This old man calculated that he only has the power for two arrows! There will absolutely be no more accidents this time. Now that two arrows have been fired, I can no longer detect any Immortal Bloodline Power on him. He cannot draw Li Guang's Bow!" Venerable Master's eyes revealed a strong killing intent. His desire to kill Wang Lin was overwhelming. Without killing Wang Lin, he would almost be unable to enter meditation.

It's no wonder Venerable Master was like this. Wang Lin was like an Immortal being, making Venerable Master almost despair in the previous encounters. He even nearly, in his subconscious, believed that Wang Lin was almost unkillable, and that on him, at every critical moment, an unexpected turn of events would occur.

This kind of accident was as if an invisible force was changing everything. Although it sounded somewhat profound, Venerable Master truly almost believed it.

"This time, I refuse to believe there will be another accident! Damn it, even if he invites his master out, I will definitely kill this Wang Lin! He absolutely does not have the power for a third arrow; I will not miscalculate!" The reason Venerable Master was so certain was directly related to his Immortal Bloodline. After all, he was the madman's servant, and it was he who personally forced out Wang Lin's Immortal Undying Body blood in the Illusory True Formation back then. He knew how many times the Bloodline Power contained within this blood could draw the bow.

This point, besides him, would be difficult for others to calculate accurately.

Venerable Master's eyes were blood-red with killing intent. As he stepped forward, heaven and earth rumbled, the Starry Sky trembled, and endless ripples whistled in all directions.

"Absolutely no mistake, this time he will surely die. If I can't kill him, this old man will take his surname from now on!" Venerable Master's desire to kill Wang Lin had reached its peak. At this moment, not only was his expression frenzied, but his mind also became frantic. Amidst the roar, he instantly appeared before the retreating Wang Lin, raised his right hand, and fiercely slammed a palm towards Wang Lin!

"Die for this old man!" Without any communication with Wang Lin, Venerable Master immediately unleashed his great Divine Ability. In reality, although he constantly reassured himself that his calculations this time were correct, he vaguely still had some worries. He was also wary that if he spoke to Wang Lin, some accident might truly occur.

Furthermore, this palm also contained a subconscious probing intent, as Venerable Master had experienced Wang Lin's unexpected turns more than once… A giant palm print suddenly appeared between Venerable Master and the retreating Wang Lin. As soon as this palm print appeared, it rapidly expanded, but ultimately did not become too large, only a hundred zhang. However, this hundred-zhang palm print was extremely solid, looking as if it were real!

After it appeared, it roared towards Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's face was pale, but his eyes showed no trace of panic, only calmness. Venerable Master's appearance was no surprise to him; if the other party hadn't appeared, Wang Lin would have thought more about it.

As the hundred-zhang handprint whistled closer, Wang Lin abruptly raised his right hand. The Ancient God Star Point between his brows, and the demon stars in his left and right eyes all flickered. Waves of dao ancient power gathered throughout his body, finally concentrating entirely on his right index finger!

Inspired by the Immortal Undying Body, he created his own Divine Ability, the Ancient Tribe Undying Finger!

The moment he pointed his finger, a blue light erupted from Wang Lin's body. The Azure Light Shield materialized around him, continuously swirling, and behind Wang Lin, a huge Light Shadow appeared, which was the Light Shadow Shield!

Even behind this Light Shadow Shield, streaks of colorful light flickered, and a five-colored butterfly flapped its wings and emerged, landing on Wang Lin's shoulder. As its wings flapped, colorful dust fell, looking extremely beautiful from afar.

"It's not time yet…" Wang Lin's eyes revealed a strange light. All of this was completed in an instant. Just then, the hundred-zhang handprint rumbled closer and abruptly collided with Wang Lin's right index finger.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Immediately upon impact, Wang Lin felt his entire body about to collapse, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His body retreated step by step. The massive handprint charged fiercely, and his right index finger instantly disintegrated, but in the moment of disintegration, it re-condensed once more. In just a few breaths, Wang Lin's right index finger had been destroyed and reorganized over a thousand times!

The gap in cultivation was like a chasm between heaven and earth, making it impossible for Wang Lin to cross. After a few breaths, although the speed of his right index finger's collapse could still be sustained, his body could not. Wounds suddenly appeared one after another, and intense pain assailed him, as if his Physical Body was about to be destroyed.

The Light Shadow Shield twisted and collapsed amidst its flickering!

The Azure Light Shield, with its myriad rays of light, crackled, reversed, and was blasted back into Wang Lin's body.

The five-colored butterfly trembled and dispersed into five-colored light.
