Chapter 171: Great Outbreak of Restrictions

He remained motionless, observing carefully for a while, then could not help but curse under his breath: "There must be another chain of Restrictions here. This person is truly sinister to the extreme!"

With a wave of his right hand, he immediately threw out four small white flags. These flags began to spin instantly, landing around him.

His expression then turned gloomy. With his hands tapping repeatedly, the surrounding flags instantly grew larger. The flags moved without wind, transforming into bursts of white light, flying toward the location where Wang Lin was situated.

These white lights circled the area for a moment, then suddenly moved, all converging on a single point, pointing directly at a certain piece of rock.

Wang Lin, situated within the numerous Restrictions, maintained his usual expression. His eyes were calm, showing no signs of panic. Regarding his attainments in Restrictions over the past ten years, he had a certain level of confidence. If it were a hastily set up Restriction, it might not deceive the opponent, but one had to know that the Restrictions here were something he had spent a year completing.

Wang Lin was confident about this, so as he watched the opponent probing with his unique method, Wang Lin did nothing but sneer, his body not moving an inch.

Especially since the point the opponent was attacking was exactly the flaw Wang Lin had intentionally revealed. If this person could not see it, it would actually require Wang Lin to put in some effort.

Once the white light released by the four small flags condensed together, its speed increased sharply. In almost the blink of an eye, it landed on one of Wang Lin's many Restrictions.

That was a seemingly unremarkable piece of rock. Now, under the erosion of the white light, it slowly faded and eventually disappeared completely, revealing a small path that a person could walk through.

Gu Di's eyes flickered as he stared at that small path. After a moment of silence, he did not walk over. Instead, he waved his right hand, retracting the white light, and then began to observe carefully again.

Based on Gu Di's years of experience breaking Restrictions on this mountain, this Restriction absolutely contained extremely sinister killing moves. If one were not careful, it was very likely to trigger some large-scale Restrictions.

Moreover, this place was already very close to the summit. The inherent Restrictions of the mountain were naturally powerful enough to make him somewhat exhausted. If it were not for his System-atic study of Restriction techniques over these thousand years, allowing him to avoid the heavy and focus on the light, it would certainly have been even more difficult.

Therefore, Gu Di was very careful. He simply sat cross-legged on the ground, using his hands to control the white light, slowly nibbling away from the periphery, breaking the Restrictions bit by bit.

The sneer remained on Wang Lin's lips. In reality, the distance between him and Gu Di was less than ten zhang, but Gu Di could not see him. Even if he swept his Divine Sense, it was difficult to enter the Restrictions. After all, here, apart from Wang Lin himself, no one knew exactly how many Restrictions he had set up.

With Wang Lin's cautious nature, there certainly would not be few Restrictions here. He had almost placed everything he had learned in the past ten years, every Restriction, here.

One month later, Gu Di stood on the small path he had opened up a month ago, his face looking quite ugly. He had originally thought the Restrictions here would be very complex and must have been set up by that sinister person. However, after spending a month studying them carefully, he was stunned to discover that the Restrictions here were, in fact, extremely simple. This strong contrast made him feel extremely annoyed. Fortunately, he had encountered such things several times along the way. After taking a few deep breaths, he looked up at the mountain peak, secretly deciding that if he could see this mysterious person after going up, he would definitely have to have a good meeting with him! His hatred for this person had already reached a bone-deep level.

However, in secret, Gu Di was still exceptionally cautious, always holding his breath. The mysterious person was best at shifting between illusion and reality. Often, what looked real turned out to be fake in the end, but in reality, when you were most negligent, you would be shocked to find that it was not fake, but real!

As a result, Gu Di's focus was almost entirely on his surroundings, and he slowly walked forward.

Walking forward along the small path, he had barely walked less than five zhang when suddenly, the surrounding rocks began to squirm. One by one, stone spikes appeared instantly with lightning speed.

Seeing these stone spikes, Gu Di was not alarmed; instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. He waved his right hand in front of him, and immediately a blue ring of light appeared around his body. When those stone spikes landed on it, they were instantly and strangely eroded by the blue light, turning blue all over.

Looking at it now, within this short small path, there were blue stone spikes everywhere, crisscrossing each other, filled with a jagged and imposing appearance.

Immediately after, a strange wind blew, and all the stone spikes shattered from their roots, falling to the ground and covering it with a thick layer of blue stone ice shards.

Gu Di lifted his foot and walked forward, continuing until he reached the end of the small path. Just as he was about to step out of this Restriction, Wang Lin, who was inside, had his eyes flickering. On his right hand, there was a circle of afterimages. He only needed to throw this circle of afterimages out to completely trigger the attacks within the surrounding Restrictions.

Although the possibility of killing the opponent was not high, causing Gu Di to be injured was still achievable.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin relaxed his right hand and put away the circle of afterimages, watching as Gu Di walked out of his Restriction. The reason he did not make a move was that he did not want to break the balance. If Gu Di were injured, Wang Lin—putting himself in the other's shoes—would certainly find a place to heal, and unless absolutely necessary, would not continue forward. This was clearly not the best outcome Wang Lin wanted.

However, Wang Lin still took action. With a flick of his right hand, the circle of afterimages in his hand instantly transformed into a ring, suddenly spreading outwards in all directions. Countless afterimages quickly melted into one Restriction after another. In that instant, the massive group of Restrictions that Wang Lin had set up was activated.

With Gu Di's attainments in Restrictions, when he had walked more than half the distance along the small path, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The Restrictions here could be said to be connected layer by layer, containing endless changes within, and the number of Restrictions was so large that it made one's scalp tingle. His expression changed, and without a word, his body quickly rushed forward.

At the same time, the Restrictions activated.

A ray of seven-colored light suddenly appeared from the surrounding mountain walls, flying towards Gu Di at an extremely fast speed.

Gu Di's expression changed slightly. He knew that this seven-colored light had no offensive power, but it was a light of Restriction. As long as one was touched by it, one would be immediately teleported to a specific place designated by the one who released the Restriction.

Gu Di quickly waved his right hand, and the four white flags immediately floated in front of him. He looked at the flags with heartache, and without a word, spat out a mouthful of Spiritual Qi. Instantly, the four small flags spun rapidly, and a pitch-black passage suddenly appeared amidst the four flags.

At this moment, the light of Restriction had already arrived. Gu Di leaped into the passage, and when he appeared, he was already ten zhang away.

After getting out of this Restriction, his speed suddenly increased, and he lunged forward a few zhang. His forehead was faintly sweating, and with a gloomy face, he looked back at the Restriction that had already returned to normal.

After a moment of silence, he turned and walked forward, with the four small flags spinning around him.

Wang Lin's eyes were fixed on those four small flags, his gaze flickering. The reason he launched an attack was precisely because these old guys were all treacherous and cunning. If he let them pass peacefully, they might become suspicious instead, and then complications would certainly arise.

In this way, it was better to launch an attack and let the opponent break through with their own strength. This way, they would not raise any suspicion. After all, on this mountain of Restrictions, there were Restrictions everywhere, and breaking through them to proceed had become inevitable.

However, Wang Lin did not expect that the four small flags around the opponent would have such power, capable of forcibly opening a passage within the Restrictions, allowing him to leave safely. These small flags were clearly Gu Di's trump card for passing the trials.

Wang Lin pondered for a moment and continued to sit quietly, but his gaze looked towards the huge Vortex at the mountain top, several hundred zhang away.

At this moment, Demonic Lord Six Desires was standing one hundred zhang away from the summit. His expression was extremely gloomy. If it were not for saving the young man beside him, he could have arrived here two years ago.

Even he dared not easily trigger the Restrictions here. After a previous failure in breaking a Restriction, the Restriction was triggered, and a light of Restriction appeared. What Demonic Lord Six Desires found most headache-inducing was this kind of thing. Once teleported into another Restriction, it would be an extremely dangerous matter. Seeing that he could not dodge in time, in desperation, he used the young man beside him as a substitute, and only then did he luckily escape.

Demonic Lord Six Desires was not at all worried about the other person's life or death. He had spent a great deal of effort on this young man. After the other was teleported away by the light of Restriction, he immediately chased after him, and after much trouble, finally got him back.

At this moment, the young man stood beside him, his eyes tightly closed, with no signs of life. In fact, the moment he was teleported away by the light of Restriction, he had already been killed by the Restriction.

Yet he strangely maintained his movements, following closely in Demonic Lord Six Desires' footsteps. Just at this moment, Demonic Lord Six Desires suddenly turned his head, staring fixedly behind him, a cold sneer in his heart. He could feel that the Restrictions behind him had been broken by someone again.

This person had broken countless of his Restrictions along the way and had already been rated by him as a major enemy this time. He licked his lips and secretly thought: "It must be Gu Di who has come up. It is a pity there are too many Restrictions here, otherwise it would truly be a good opportunity to get rid of him… However, I have already set up several powerful Restrictions within these few hundred zhang. I would like to see how you break them!" He glanced at the young man beside him, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the Vortex a hundred zhang away. This final hundred zhang, based on his research on Restrictions, was simply impossible to break. Even his Master had stopped here back in the day.

This time, Demonic Lord Six Desires had confidence in passing the trial; how could he not be prepared? He looked at the young man beside him, a trace of arrogant smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and secretly thought: "The trump card I spent a hundred years creating will surely help me successfully enter the Ancient God's body."

He sat cross-legged on the ground and summoned with his right hand; the young man immediately sat down as well. Demonic Lord Six Desires formed Hand Seals with both hands, continuously casting several Dharma seals, and a Vortex swirled around the two of them.

Returning to Gu Di, after moving up from below, the Restrictions he encountered along the way were even more complex, and their danger level increased several times. If it were not for his Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, he would surely have been buried here.

Even so, it cost him a large amount of Magic Treasure to slowly walk out.

There were even some Restrictions that were no longer just about breaking them, but required powerful Divine Abilities to pass through. Gu Di's expression became increasingly gloomy.

When Gu Di walked out from a Restriction again, the distance to the mountain top was already less than two hundred zhang. The moment he walked out of the Restriction, his gaze suddenly shrank. The Restrictions in front of him did not block his line of sight, so he clearly saw, a hundred zhang away, the gloomy face of Demonic Lord Six Desires. Behind him was a Vortex, pitch-black inside, not knowing where it led. Sitting cross-legged in the Vortex was a person, who was exactly the young man who had been following Demonic Lord Six Desires all along.

Demonic Lord Six Desires stared at Gu Di. He did not expect the other party to have come up so quickly. As long as there was another stick of incense's worth of time, the Vortex passage would be completed. At that time, although there would only be three breaths of opening time, for him, it was already enough.

But at this moment, the other party had unexpectedly come up ahead of time, and his plan inevitably needed some changes.

The moment he saw this Vortex, Gu Di's pupils slightly contracted. He was extremely familiar with this Vortex; it was precisely the Restriction technique that the Master of Six Desires from a thousand years ago, the Heavenly Demon Wanderer, had once set up, which could traverse a distance of a hundred zhang.

"Six Desires…" Gu Di's eyes were calm, suppressing the hatred in his heart. Compared to this Demonic Lord Six Desires, he wanted to find that mysterious person even more. His gaze swept over and landed on the young man. Gu Di suddenly frowned and secretly thought: "Could that mysterious person be him! But this person has no signs of life…"

"I did not expect Brother Gu to have reached this place as well. It is truly a cause for celebration!" Demonic Lord Six Desires moved the corners of his mouth and said calmly.

Gu Di smiled without warmth, suppressing his anger, and said gloomily: "My old bones have been well taken care of along the way thanks to the tail left by you and this little brother, which is how I luckily arrived here."

Demonic Lord Six Desires was stunned. He glanced at the young man, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and smiled: "What does Brother Gu mean by this?"

Gu Di's expression was gloomy. He glanced at the Restriction between him and the other party and did not speak.

Demonic Lord Six Desires sneered in his heart, but on the surface, no change could be seen. He smiled: "Brother Gu, it is just the two of us here. Our cultivation is comparable, and there are many Restrictions here. Once we start fighting, it will certainly trigger a large-scale activation of Restrictions. Regarding the previous matter, I apologize to you, but Brother Gu should also understand; after all, we who cultivate the Demonic path naturally act more extremely."

Gu Di was silent for a moment and said coldly: "You break this Restriction first and let me pass."

Demonic Lord Six Desires glanced at the four small flags spinning around Gu Di's body, his eyes flickering, and he pondered for a moment.

At this moment, Gu Di seemed to casually glance at the Vortex and sneered: "This Vortex Restriction does not seem to be fully opened yet. If I risk triggering the surrounding Restrictions, I wonder if it will cause this passage to disappear permanently."

Demonic Lord Six Desires' expression remained normal. He nodded with a smile and waved his right hand. The Restriction immediately split into two. After all, this Restriction had already been broken by Six Desires, so breaking it again now was naturally effortless.

Gu Di said nothing and walked forward, but his gaze was fixed on Demonic Lord Six Desires. After he had walked more than half the distance within the Restriction, Gu Di's body suddenly swayed. The four small flags around his body immediately spun, forming a passage at an extremely fast speed. Gu Di's body flashed out and entered the passage.

The moment the other party moved, Demonic Lord Six Desires brought his hands together, and the Restriction immediately closed and activated.

However, he also did not expect that Gu Di's small flags would have such power. The moment the Restriction activated, Gu Di had already walked out of the passage, traversing a distance of nearly ten zhang.

The moment he appeared, he did not hesitate at all. He spat out a beam of Spiritual light, not targeting Demonic Lord Six Desires, but the young man in the Vortex. This time, Gu Di spared no effort in exposing his Magic Treasure and Divine Ability just to kill this person, which showed that his hatred for this person had already reached the heavens.

Demonic Lord Six Desires' expression changed. He formed seals with his hands and shouted in a low voice: "Belly Desire!" Instantly, a yellow aura rapidly flowed out from the young man's seven orifices, forming a Flying Sword that collided with the Spiritual light spat out by Gu Di.

A ripple of Spiritual power immediately spread out, and several Restrictions around were immediately triggered. Bursts of pressure emanated from the Restrictions. Gu Di's eyes showed a look of hatred. He did not have time to continue attacking, but immediately lunged toward a Restriction, doing his best to prevent it from activating.

Demonic Lord Six Desires did the same. After making up for it this way, he finally slowly calmed down the Restrictions that had been activated by the Spiritual power fluctuations. At this time, his face was pale. He stared at Gu Di and said ferociously: "If you are looking for death, just rush into the Restrictions now!"

Gu Di also had a gloomy face. He pointed his right hand at the young man and said: "I, Gu Di, swear here by the Spiritual power of Heaven and Earth: leave this person to me, and you and I will have a truce before entering the third level!"

Demonic Lord Six Desires frowned and secretly thought: "Could it be that he has figured it out?" However, on the surface, his expression sank slightly, and he said: "He is just a dead person, how did he offend you?"

A ferocious look appeared on Gu Di's face, and he laughed loudly: "A dead person? Even if he is a dead person, I will tear his body apart alive. Even if it costs me my magical power, I will Heaven-Defyingly summon his soul back and refine it alive! Offend? The hatred I have had for him these past few years, how can the word 'offend' describe it!"

Six Desires was stunned. He glanced at the young man beside him, frowned, and said: "Brother Gu, this matter must be a misunderstanding…"

The Ancient Emperor sneered and said, "A misunderstanding? Since I entered this second stage, I have encountered two types of Restrictions along the way. Besides you, who else could that other type of Restriction come from if not that person?"

"Moreover, I have encountered these Restrictions countless times and have been breaking them all the way here, so I have a rough judgment of the Cultivator's cultivation level. It certainly cannot exceed the Nascent Soul Stage. Tell me, among those who entered this place, besides him, whose cultivation has not exceeded the Nascent Soul Stage?"

"Don't try to tell me it's that kid named Wang Lin. You and I both saw clearly that he sank into the void with the giant flood dragon."

"Even if he didn't die, do you actually believe that with his mere Core Formation, he could pass the first stage, get through the Road of No Return, and walk ahead of me to be in this second stage!"

The Ancient Emperor poured out the suspicions he had held in his heart for these past few years in one breath. Over these years, he had analyzed countless times who this mysterious person could be. In the end, he locked his target onto the young man beside Demonic Lord Six Desires. Only he fit the criteria!

After listening, Demonic Lord Six Desires' expression changed. He immediately deduced that if what the Ancient Emperor said was correct, then there were not three people here, but four!

If this were truly the case, there would certainly be many unforeseen events. Moreover, since this person had not come up, they must be hiding somewhere. Their purpose in letting the Ancient Emperor come up was self-evident!

Thinking of this, he cursed the Ancient Emperor for being stupid. Without a word, he flashed rapidly towards the Vortex. The Ancient Emperor gave a soft snort, waved his right hand, and struck out a beam of Spiritual Qi to block Six Desires' advance.

Six Desires felt secret hatred in his heart, but this was not the time to fight with him. His eyes flickered, he glanced behind the Ancient Emperor, and suddenly sent a voice transmission to the Ancient Emperor.

The Ancient Emperor's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you certain?"

Demonic Lord Six Desires did not speak. Instead, he quickly cut his fingertip and squeezed out a drop of fresh blood. Waving his right hand, Demonic flames immediately radiated from the blood, and the demonic flames slowly floated in front of the Ancient Emperor.

The Ancient Emperor was silent for a moment, then similarly threw out a drop of fresh blood. As the two collided, they immediately transformed into two symbols, which flew back to each of them and were caught in their hands.

This was the highest-level oath in the Cultivation Devil Sea, called the Heart Demon Oath! The Ancient Emperor's expression was gloomy at this moment as he said, "Could it really be him? Impossible!"

Demonic Lord Six Desires also looked gloomy. He sneered, "Regardless of whether it is possible or not, it would be best for the two of us to leave this place immediately!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than his expression suddenly changed drastically. Ignoring the Ancient Emperor, he leaped out, arrived beside the Vortex passage, grabbed the young man, and was about to step inside.

"Too late!" A cold voice slowly came from all directions. Immediately after, countless Afterimage Rings appeared within three hundred zhang of the mountain peak. Wherever they passed, all Restrictions were triggered, and waves of world-destroying power descended suddenly.

Wang Lin was on a giant rock five hundred zhang away, but he had accumulated countless Afterimage Rings of his Restriction technique over this year. Usually, these Afterimage Rings were stored within the Restrictions he had created in the surroundings. Now, they erupted all at once, immediately triggering most of the Restrictions beyond two hundred zhang above him.

It could even be said that every Restriction Wang Lin had personally created around him was actually an Afterimage Ring. As a result, under the massive fluctuations, the Ancient Emperor and Demonic Lord Six Desires immediately fell into a passive position.

Six Desires had been plotting against others, but unfortunately, he did not expect to be plotted against by someone else in the end. As for the Ancient Emperor, due to the misdirection from the very beginning, and furthermore, having excluded Wang Lin from his mind, it was inevitable that a misunderstanding would arise.

At this very moment, he reacted immediately, his eyes revealing deep hatred that would not disperse.

Within the entire three hundred zhang of the mountain peak, the large-scale activation of Restrictions caused beams of Restriction light, thick wind blades and fireballs, Five Elements sharp swords that even Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators would find troublesome, and patches of multicolored light flashing with an aura of destruction to appear rapidly from all directions.

This large-scale activation of Restrictions immediately triggered the Restrictions above in the sky. A dense, dark mass of clouds slowly pressed down from the sky, with purple light shining within, and occasional flashes of lightning passing through.

Besides this, there was also a ring-shaped black light that suddenly appeared at the three hundred zhang mark and pushed rapidly upward. Everything that blocked the black light along the way, even the inherent Restrictions of this mountain, all disappeared within it.

This scene left Wang Lin dumbfounded. He had not expected that after triggering all the Restrictions, such a bizarre scene would appear, especially that black light, which had astonishing power wherever it passed.

Once the Restrictions on the mountain peak were triggered, their mission was to destroy all living beings within those three hundred zhang.

Originally, according to Wang Lin's analysis, there were layers of Restrictions between him and the two, Six Desires and the Ancient Emperor. If they truly gave up on rushing upward and came down to cause him trouble, he still had nearly a hundred Afterimage Rings beside him, enough to trigger all the Restrictions within a thousand zhang of this mountain.

In that case, he could at worst retreat, and after the Restrictions here calmed down again, find a way to come back up.

But now it seemed that these preparations were completely unnecessary. If Demonic Lord Six Desires and the Ancient Emperor were not crazy, they would definitely not choose to retreat; after all, that black light rapidly shrinking upward was simply too terrifying.

According to Wang Lin's plan, whether Demonic Lord Six Desires or the Ancient Emperor could pass through this place had nothing to do with him. His purpose in letting the Ancient Emperor go first, besides the fact that the Restriction power ahead was too great and he had no confidence in passing, was also to see just how powerful the Restrictions within this five hundred zhang were, so as to facilitate breaking them in the future.

Now that his goal had been achieved, Wang Lin's gaze, however, was attracted by that ring-shaped black light. This black light was not within his calculations, so he couldn't help but observe it carefully.

"What is this!!" Demonic Lord Six Desires only took one look at the black light before his scalp immediately went numb. Without a word, he grabbed the young man. As soon as his body touched the Vortex passage, the passage was immediately affected by the surrounding Restrictions and rapidly collapsed. He stared blankly at the collapsing passage, his face ferocious, then he suddenly turned his head, his gaze like lightning, coldly looking at the location where Wang Lin was, which was wrapped in a layer of mist, making it impossible to see the details.

He knew time was pressing. He quickly threw out five stones from his Storage Pouch. As soon as these stones appeared, they immediately transformed into five light screens, wrapping around his body. At the same time, he suddenly charged, rushing towards the top of the mountain.

As for the Ancient Emperor, after casting a wary glance at the black light, he once again took out four small flags. Adding the previous four, a total of eight small flags rotated rapidly all around his body. Amidst the flickering of white light, the attacks from within the Restrictions immediately poured down. At the same time, his thought was the same as Demonic Lord Six Desires: to rush forward, not backward.

The two started almost at the same time, rushing towards the mountain peak.

Demonic Lord Six Desires was extremely fast. The light screens formed by the five stones outside his body blocked most of the attacks for him, but some still penetrated through. In his wretched state all the way, he managed to forcefully rush out several tens of zhang.

The Ancient Emperor was the same, except that for every attack the eight small flags outside his body defended, his expression would become a bit uglier.

At this moment, the black light behind them followed closely, shrinking at a steady speed. The dark clouds in the sky were getting closer and closer, with lightning flashing violently within. A purple Lightning Orb the size of a head slowly emerged from the dark clouds. It flashed with electric light and descended with a boom.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering loud noise came from the sky. Immediately after, the purple Lightning Orb instantly fell towards Demonic Lord Six Desires. The five layers of light screens outside his body could not stop its descent at all and immediately shattered one by one.

Demonic Lord Six Desires' eyes were red. With a low shout, he grabbed the young man with his right hand and hoisted him upward. The Lightning Orb immediately landed on the young man. At this instant, the person suddenly opened his eyes. There was no light in his eyes, and he suddenly opened his mouth, and the Lightning Orb was actually swallowed by him alive.

Immediately after, rumbling sounds came from within the person's body, and his skin showed signs of cracking. Demonic Lord Six Desires' face revealed a look of wild joy. He had not expected that this thing could actually resist the purple lightning of the Restrictions, so without a word, he rushed forward again.

Wang Lin's pupils constricted. He stared at the young man's corpse, a sense of horror in his heart. Judging by Demonic Lord Six Desires' appearance, he was clearly quite wary of that lightning, yet the corpse was actually able to withstand it without being destroyed!

Wang Lin's heart sank slightly, and his gaze was placed on the black light again. He gritted his teeth, continuously cast more than ten Afterimage Rings, struck them into the black light, and began to analyze it carefully.

The Ancient Emperor glanced at the young man, secretly shocked in his heart, thinking that Demonic Lord Six Desires had indeed not deceived him; this person was indeed that thing…

A look of greed flashed across his eyes. At this moment, he was less than fifty zhang away from the mountain peak. He took a deep breath, tapped his hands several times in succession, and immediately the eight small flags rotated even faster, and a pitch-black passage suddenly appeared in front of him.

He took a step forward and immediately disappeared from the passage. When he appeared again, he was already on top of the mountain. He laughed wildly, and just as he was about to enter the exit of the second stage, Demonic Lord Six Desires had also rushed up.

But the Restrictions within one hundred zhang were not so simple. The reason the two of them could jump over them, besides their extremely strong cultivation, had a great deal to do with the items in their hands.

These two things had an enormous background and were the trump cards for the two to pass the stage this time.

Not to mention the young man's Physical Body, just the eight small flags in the Ancient Emperor's hand were the sect-protecting Magic Treasure of a sect famous for Restrictions in a Rank 5 Cultivation Country.

With the eight small flags, countless Restrictions could be combined, and the combinations within them were myriad. If it weren't for the fact that the Ancient Emperor did not Master many combination techniques, he probably wouldn't have been so wretched all the way here.

But if one compared speed, among the three, Wang Lin, Six Desires, and the Ancient Emperor, this person was actually the fastest, which in itself spoke volumes.

The Ancient Emperor had unfortunately spent an immense amount of effort to get his hands on this item!

If they had had this item in their hands a thousand years ago, then there certainly wouldn't have been so many deaths and injuries.

However, even so, the Restrictions within one hundred zhang were not child's play. At the moment the two were about to enter the Vortex, all attacks converged, and the dark clouds in the sky continuously rained down several purple lightning bolts.

Even that black light suddenly increased in speed and rapidly shrank upward.

Wang Lin stood up suddenly, his eyes flickering. Originally, he had planned not to participate within the three hundred zhang, but this opportunity was truly rare. If he gave it up, he would certainly be quite unwilling in the future. A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He flicked his hands repeatedly, and immediately dozens of Afterimage Rings flew up, wrapping him inside. But immediately after, Wang Lin stopped. His gaze flickered, staring ahead, then he slowly dispersed the Afterimage Rings again.

Wang Lin forcibly stopped his footsteps. He knew that even if he were hit by one bolt of lightning, he would be instantly destroyed, body and soul, and he must not take the risk!

Moreover, Demonic Lord Six Desires and the Ancient Emperor were both at the Soul Transformation Stage. If he were to suddenly rush out, although this opportunity was precious, these two hated him to the bone and harbored murderous intent, so he would certainly not escape death. And most importantly, if the black light did not disperse, he had no confidence that he could break through the light and enter.

Wang Lin's state of mind gradually calmed down. He looked at the two from afar, and had already decided in his heart never to go forward. Everything must be cautious, cautious, and more cautious!

At the moment Demonic Lord Six Desires rushed into the Vortex, more than ten lightning bolts descended. Although he swung the corpse in his hand to block them, he was still affected by the aftermath, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. His cultivation immediately permanently dropped by one Realm, and one arm of the corpse in his hand was snapped off by the lightning and thrown away. However, Demonic Lord Six Desires spat blood, gritted his teeth, and leaped, his body rushing into the Vortex, disappearing completely.

As for the severed arm, it fell directly into the black light that followed, but it weirdly flashed with golden light, emitted puffs of green smoke, rapidly passed through it, and landed outside the black light. However, the flesh and blood on it had already disappeared, leaving only a bone with slight golden spots, and this bone was also shattered, clearly indicating that the black light also possessed a certain degree of damage to it.

At the same time, the Ancient Emperor was also bombarded by more than ten continuously descending lightning bolts. The eight small flags immediately scattered. He finally sacrificed four of them, only then rushing out of the lightning and entering the Vortex. However, a purple Lightning Orb chased closely, and at the moment he entered the Vortex, it landed on him.

Wang Lin stared at the flying severed arm, cold light flashing in his eyes. He slapped the Storage Pouch at his waist that stored living things with his right hand, and immediately, waves of whistling sounds came from within. One by one, small beasts flew out, forming a small hurricane about three zhang high.

Wang Lin pointed his right hand, and the hurricane immediately rushed out of the mist, flying towards the front. Following closely behind the black light all the way, it almost didn't encounter any resistance before reaching the mountain peak. It scooped up half of the hand bone of the young man's corpse that was in Demonic Lord Six Desires' hand and retreated rapidly.

However, before it could fly back very far, it was struck by a purple lightning bolt with a boom. The entire hurricane immediately collapsed and dissipated, leaving only that severed bone, which fell to the ground.

From the moment the two, Six Desires and the Ancient Emperor, rushed towards the mountain peak, until they finally entered the Vortex, all this happened in a very short time, so fast that it was unimaginable. Now, as the two entered the Vortex, the surroundings immediately slowly calmed down. The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, only that black light, after condensing at the mountain peak, quickly spread downward again. Wherever it passed, all Restrictions were restored to their original state, but judging from their Spiritual Qi fluctuations, they were obviously much weaker than before. Without a thousand years of recovery, it would be difficult to possess the previous power.

Wang Lin stared intently at that hand bone. This bone obviously could not withstand a second assault of the black light. He gritted his teeth, seeing the dark clouds in the sky disperse, and his body rushed out rapidly. Like lightning, he snatched it in the air at the moment before the black light arrived, and immediately grabbed the hand bone back.

His body did not stop, and he retreated rapidly.

That ring-shaped black light kept spreading, and when it reached the three hundred zhang position, it suddenly disappeared. Wang Lin was covered in cold sweat, his eyes flickering. He carefully observed the Restrictions within this three hundred zhang and immediately noticed the difference.

After a moment of contemplation, Wang Lin returned to the mountain rock where he was, sat down cross-legged, and took out that hand bone. Just now, the moment he saw the golden spots on this hand bone, his mind immediately thought of that golden finger bone that appeared on the Beast King's forehead in the first stage!
