Chapter 1697: Ancient Mystery, Senior Martial Uncle Ma!

Inside the wind and sand, everything was blurry. The instant Wang Lin curled his body into a ball, the wooden figure's fist slammed down. This punch did not contain excessive raw power, but it held the combined cultivation and Divine Ability of the old man, who, relying on the Armor, had reached the Late Stage empty profound realm.

This was not a punch of brute strength, but a punch of Divine Ability!

The moment the fist landed, the wind and sand rapidly contracted, rushing toward Wang Lin's body inside, seemingly intent on tearing him apart.

A thunderous roar shook the heavens and earth in that instant, echoing throughout the Five Elements Planet as it spun wildly, and even propagating out of the Five Elements Planet, reverberating in the Starry Sky.

Wang Lin's Physical Body was struck by the two streams of Origin power, Wood and Earth. The dao ancient Indestructible Body suddenly erupted, enveloping him, constantly recovering under the impact, preventing Wang Lin's death!

Moreover, the instant these two streams of Origin power struck, Wang Lin used the momentum to suddenly spring out from his curled position, like an arrow shot from a bow, whooshing past the surrounding sand and dust storm and rocketing into the distance!

His speed was too fast. This speed was generated not only by his own dao ancient and cultivation power but also by the full force of the old man's Late Stage empty profound realm. If not for Wang Lin's dao ancient Indestructible Divine Ability, even his current Physical Body would certainly have collapsed and died under this force!

But with the protection of the dao ancient Indestructible Divine Ability, as long as the duration was brief, Wang Lin's body would not be destroyed in this short instant!

Using the opponent's strength, Wang Lin's speed had already surpassed the limits of empty profound, faintly resembling those who had survived several Mysterious Tribulations. As he shot out now, the heavens and earth howled, the Five Elements Planet seemed about to collapse, leaving only the long rainbow that Wang Lin had transformed into, looking as if it would rush out of the Immortal Cave Realm!

This long rainbow shot directly toward the distant tall tower protected by an aura barrier, instantly colliding with the barrier. Wang Lin was using his own body as the strongest Magic Treasure to break through the tower's defenses in one go!

The aura barrier outside the tall tower emitted cracking sounds and immediately warped, but before it could fully collapse, it instantly shattered where Wang Lin's body made contact, allowing Wang Lin's body to directly rush inside!

Only after he had rushed in did the aura barrier catch up to his speed, collapsing into fragments over a large area and rolling back.

Wang Lin's body broke through the aura barrier without the slightest pause, carrying that immense force, and under the cover of the dao ancient Indestructible Body, he slammed into the second floor of the tall tower with a boom.

The tall tower shook, and Wang Lin actually smashed open a massive gap in it. The fragments of the gap turned into dust, spreading out and rapidly dissipating before Wang Lin's eyes.

The instant Wang Lin burst into the second floor, he saw an old man sitting cross-legged at the center of the second floor, his entire body permeated with the power of the Five Elements.

Although the old man's skin was aged, his hair was black! He was sitting cross-legged, breathing, seemingly in secluded cultivation of some Divine Ability. His mind was shaken by Wang Lin's sudden intrusion, and the old man abruptly opened his eyes!

The moment he saw the opponent's eyes, Wang Lin's mind roared!

If this old man were younger, he would look exactly like Nado!! Furthermore, within the pupils of this old man's eyes, there was actually a Nine-Revolution Heart Reincarnation Vortex!

"Get out!!" An earth-shattering roar erupted from the second floor, carrying immense anger and spreading throughout the entire Five Elements Planet. This sound caused the old man outside, who had emerged from the third floor wearing the Armor, to tremble, revealing expressions of awe and fear in his eyes.

Even Yun Yifeng's lazy expression immediately vanished, replaced by sheer reverence.

Everyone outside who was currently conscious trembled, clearly terrified of the owner of this voice.

When this sound entered Wang Lin's mind, his dao ancient Indestructible Body immediately showed signs of collapse. Furthermore, his mind roared, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body rapidly retreating uncontrollably, as if this single roar from the opponent was forcing him out of the second floor!

The gap in cultivation between the two sides was too vast!

But Wang Lin was absolutely unwilling to be driven out like this; he still hadn't seen the person inside the first floor. At this moment, his eyes flashed, revealing determination and ruthlessness.

Wang Lin's ruthlessness was directed not only at others but also at himself. As he retreated, he raised his right hand, and a bloody light immediately flashed as the Blood Sword materialized. The instant his body was blasted out of the tall tower by the force of the roar, he gritted his teeth, risked injury to his body, and fiercely flung his right hand outward!

With this throw, the Blood Sword whistled out, heading straight for the first floor! At the same time, Wang Lin spat out more blood, raised his left hand, and fiercely pointed toward the second floor.

"How dare you!!" Just then, the old man on the second floor stood up, his eyes filled with indifference. He raised his right hand, preparing to grab the Blood Sword from the Void Realm.

But at this very moment, the finger Wang Lin had pointed earlier with his left hand unleashed its Divine Ability!

"Fix!"

Wang Lin had already risked everything. He knew that under the protection of his Indestructible Body, even if severely injured, he would absolutely not die. Since he wouldn't die, he could afford to take a chance!

Moreover, even if he was severely injured, he had means to leave this place!

Under the Body Fixing Art, the old man's right hand, raised to grab the Blood Sword, immediately paused. This pause collapsed in an instant, and Wang Lin suffered the backlash of the Body Fixing Art. His body roared internally, and large amounts of bloody mist immediately sprayed out from all his pores. But in his view, all of this was worth it!!

The old man's momentary pause allowed the Blood Sword to rush into the first floor of the tall tower with a boom, opening a three-inch-sized gap before flashing out from the other side of the tall tower!

As Wang Lin retreated, he stared intently at the three-inch gap, his eyes showing shock!

He saw that inside the first floor, there was no Cultivator; there was only a set of pitch-black Armor!! The blackness of this Armor was like the dark night, capable of swallowing all light!

Wang Lin rapidly retreated, spitting out fresh blood again. As he retreated, a bloody light flashed outside the tall tower. The Blood Sword was about to be recalled but was instantly grabbed by a fair-skinned hand.

It was the old man from the second floor, who now stepped out of the tall tower and seized the Blood Sword! No matter how the sword struggled in his hand, it could not break free.

"Welcome, Senior Brother Ma." Outside the tall tower, the old man wearing the Wood and Earth Armor spoke in a low voice, bowing respectfully.

"Greetings, Senior Martial Uncle Ma." Even the inwardly arrogant Yun Yifeng adopted a solemn expression, his eyes filled with fanatical reverence, as he bowed and murmured.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Ma." The three people who had been previously blocked by the collapse and impact of the dao ancient Phantom also bowed respectfully.

Wang Lin retreated far away, staring at this scene. He already understood that all the foreign Cultivators on the Five Elements Planet had been forced out. If this old man surnamed Ma were younger, he would look exactly like Nado—clearly the leader of that group of foreign Cultivators seen in the Flashing Thunder Clan!

The nail had been pulled out. Everything about the opponent was no longer hidden in the dark but clearly seen by Wang Lin. Now, he would choose to leave rather than stay here!

With his mind set, even though his internal injuries were severe, Wang Lin remained unhurried. As his body retreated, he raised his right hand and pointed toward the sky.

The instant his right hand pointed to the sky, the old man surnamed Ma, who had emerged from the second floor, flashed a cold light in his eyes, stared at Wang Lin, took a step forward, and instantly approached.

"Disturbing my cultivation, you deserve to die!"

"Take one more step, and you deserve to die!" The moment the old man surnamed Ma spoke, Wang Lin suddenly retorted coldly, blood still staining the corner of his mouth, yet his words were decisive!

The sky suddenly darkened, as if a colossal figure had obscured the heavens. Simultaneously, a pair of gigantic eyes appeared in the sky!

These eyes were utterly emotionless, devoid of any color, viewing all creation as no different from a speck of dust.

The old man surnamed Ma's mind abruptly shook. He fiercely looked up at the pair of eyes in the sky, his pupils instantly contracting. His footstep immediately halted; he dared not take another step!

Being stared at by those eyes, monstrous waves surged in the heart of the old man surnamed Ma. His expression changed rapidly, faintly revealing disbelief, along with unconcealable terror and shock clearly visible on his face.

Besides him, the old man in the Wood and Earth Armor also dared not move. This old man trembled all over, looking at the eyes in the sky, his face instantly turning pale. As soon as that gaze swept over him, his mind immediately roared.

The other three people nearby also trembled, intimidated by the eyes in the sky.

Yun Yifeng was stunned for a moment, his eyes replaced by terror. He fiercely looked at the old man surnamed Ma, and upon seeing the latter's expression, his own face immediately went pale.

"Heavenly Dao…" The old man surnamed Ma fell silent. After a long pause, he gave Wang Lin a deep look, hiding killing intent and greed in his eyes, but he still dared not take a step.

He dared not gamble!

"Give me the sword!" Wang Lin slowly retreated, stepping into the sky. From the perspective of the people below, his position was exactly at the center of the emotionless eyes' brow.

The old man surnamed Ma clenched his right hand, tightly gripping the Blood Sword. After a moment of silence, he abruptly looked up, stared at Wang Lin, and spoke slowly.

"I am surprised that the Heavenly Dao is in your hands. However, this old man does not believe that this Heavenly Dao has the power to swallow me! Otherwise, you wouldn't be suffering such severe injuries!" As the old man surnamed Ma spoke, he raised his right foot, slowly preparing to put it down, but his eyes were fixed intently on Wang Lin, not missing the slightest change in his expression.

"It truly cannot swallow you, but you still have to return that sword to me." Wang Lin smiled faintly and spoke softly.

His verbal admission caused the old man surnamed Ma to frown, becoming uncertain. The raised foot paused, unable to be put down. He stared at Wang Lin for a long, long time, but failed to gather any clues for judgment from the opponent's expression.

"Since he dared to come, he must have something to rely on…"

"Give me the sword within three breaths!" A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes.

Three breaths passed in an instant. The old man surnamed Ma finally withdrew his foot, fiercely flung his right hand forward, and the Blood Sword shot toward Wang Lin. Wang Lin did not catch it; instead, the phantom Nether Beast that had materialized behind him suddenly opened its massive mouth and swallowed the Blood Sword.

"Farewell!" Wang Lin cupped his fist, retreated backward, and immediately exited the Five Elements Planet, stepping into the Starry Sky!
