Chapter 1718: Ancient Mystery, Seven Ambush Kills

In Xiangan, there is a creature named Muyu. It is a thousand zhang long, with a concave head and a body like a mud snake. This creature enjoys swallowing mud, drawing the essence of the great earth to nourish its body, and absorbing the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to nurture its spirit.

Juvenile Muyu usually inhabit river silt, rarely showing themselves, moving through the river mud. As the years pass, adult Muyu can reach a length of a thousand zhang, drilling through river silt and traveling underground toward the surrounding Immortal Mountains, where they enter the mountains to sleep.

On the Xiangan Continent, most of these Muyu Vicious Beasts are Sealed and used as mountain-guarding beasts for various sects. They are not liked by Cultivators because once this beast enters a mountain, it merges with the mountain, giving the Immortal Mountain a spirit. Although the effect is not exactly the same, after a short time, that mountain will turn into a stretch of yellow sand.

Such Muyu that steal Immortal Qi must be restrained. In fact, this is precisely the case; any Muyu discovered on the Xiangan Continent is immediately Sealed.

Wang Lin sat cross-legged in the yellow sand desert on this Cultivation Planet. The surrounding wind howled and swirled, sweeping up large amounts of sand and dirt like a sandstorm. The fierce wind raged, covering heaven and earth, making everything visible dim and dark.

Wang Lin learned about the Muyu from his Third Soul. In the memories of the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable, he had once brought a juvenile Muyu into the Three Hundred Broken Realms, intending to raise it for a period before taking it out, but his body perished and his soul scattered, leaving behind a regret.

It wasn't until Wang Lin detected the aura of this Vicious Beast during his previous escape and saw the yellow sand desert of this Cultivation Planet that his heart stirred, and he returned to this location.

He grabbed a handful of yellow sand; a faint trace of Spiritual Qi permeated it. Furthermore, when Wang Lin spread his Divine Sense, he discovered that the Vicious Beast's aura existed deep inside this Cultivation Planet.

All these signs indicated that the Vicious Beast here was highly likely the Muyu.

"A Muyu that has not been subjected to any Restriction, surviving in this broken realm for vast ages… it must have undergone unusual transformations. In this Star Domain, there is only this one Cultivation Planet remaining. Clearly, the other planets have already been swallowed and absorbed by this Muyu… this final one…" Wang Lin retracted his Divine Sense from its surroundings, and everything about the Cultivation Planet slowly surfaced in his mind.

"This place can serve as an ambush!" A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He raised his right hand and formed a Seal, causing countless phantoms of Restrictions to materialize. Through superposition, they instantly transformed into the Boundary Burning Ancient Umbrella.

As soon as the umbrella appeared, scorching heat waves surged up, rushing straight toward the sky. As the wind and clouds scattered, a massive umbrella slowly opened up and manifested within the heaven and earth of this planet.

Once the umbrella was open, the canopy merged with the sky, and the ribs were menacing, like pillars connecting heaven and earth.

Wang Lin looked up at the seemingly burning canopy. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The blood instantly ignited upon appearing, rushing toward the sky. Amidst continuous rumbling echoes, the Ancient Umbrella slowly vanished and hid itself. Even the massive ribs gradually became transparent, eventually disappearing without a trace.

The Boundary Burning Ancient Umbrella underwent Fusion with the Void Realm, becoming indistinguishable. Anyone who stepped into the heaven and earth of this Cultivation Planet would be enveloped within this Ancient Umbrella.

This is the First Ambush!

His breathing was slightly hurried. Even with Wang Lin's cultivation at the Ethereal Late Stage, deploying this umbrella was somewhat difficult, especially since he currently wanted to maximize the Ancient Umbrella's power, which consumed even more energy.

"The power should be able to increase further…" Wang Lin raised his right hand and pointed at his left eye. Immediately, the Fire Origin materialized within his left pupil, burning fiercely. As his right hand swept forward, a sea of fire instantly poured out from Wang Lin's left eye. Amidst rumbling sounds, it transformed into a massive Flaming Vermilion Bird in front of Wang Lin, soaring straight toward the sky.

The Flaming Vermilion Bird was too large. Its tail feathers spread out, resembling a Phoenix. After circling the sky several times, it merged into heaven and earth and disappeared.

Wang Lin closed his eyes and calmly regulated his breathing for a while. The moment he suddenly opened them, he formed Seals with both hands and muttered softly. In an instant, bursts of seven-colored light suddenly erupted from Wang Lin's hands.

This seven-colored light looked exactly like the Divine Ability of the Seven-Colored Daoist. As Wang Lin deployed it now, the light became increasingly dazzling, eventually covering almost every direction of this Cultivation Planet.

"Seven-Colored Dao Spear!" Wang Lin roared softly. He stretched both hands toward the sky simultaneously. Amidst the rumbling of heaven and earth, the seven colors in his hands rose into the air, condensing in the sky to form a massive seven-colored long spear!

An astonishing aura radiated from the spear. After it appeared, it emitted a buzzing sound, whistling through heaven and earth, finally plunging into the earth with a crash on the right side of where Wang Lin sat cross-legged.

This is the Second Ambush!

Having continuously deployed these two great Divine Abilities, Wang Lin showed fatigue, but he did not stop. He formed a Seal with his hands and pointed at his glabella. Immediately, overlapping shadows appeared on his body. In a moment, the overlapping shadows twisted, and Wang Lin's Original Body and Clone directly separated.

The Original Body carrying the Dao Ancient Legacy stood up and rushed toward the sky. He grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand, and instantly the colors of heaven and earth changed. A massive Heaven-Opening Axe appeared rumbling in Wang Lin's Original Body's hand. After gripping it, he vanished to the side.

The Dao Ancient Legacy, a full-force strike—this is the Third Ambush!

After the three ambushes, Wang Lin looked slightly listless. His breathing became more rapid. After adjusting for half an incense stick's time, he opened his eyes again. He grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand, and the Ghost Face Canvas suddenly appeared.

This item came from the Xiangan Continent and should be a treasured artifact! Wang Lin's research on it was not complete, but he could use this canvas to cast illusions. Staring at the ghost face on the canvas, Wang Lin remained silent for a moment before biting his left index finger. As blood flowed, he quickly pointed his finger into the ghost face's mouth.

His blood was immediately and strangely absorbed by the ghost face on a large scale. In just three breaths, nearly half of his blood was sucked away, causing Wang Lin's face to turn pale.

On the fourth breath, the ghost face stopped absorbing blood, and its eyes emitted a demonic red light. As Wang Lin flicked the canvas with his right hand, the ghost face immediately materialized, letting out a silent roar toward the sky. Its body suddenly swelled, instantly enveloping the entire Cultivation Planet before disappearing.

After the ghost face vanished, the heaven and earth here seemed different, but it was difficult to pinpoint exactly where the abnormality lay.

This Ghost Face Illusion is Wang Lin's Fourth Ambush!

Sweat covered Wang Lin's forehead. After wiping it away, he took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and pointed at the sky. Immediately, the heavens and earth rumbled. A small point of spectral light materialized, rapidly expanding, and the Nether Beast suddenly appeared.

The creature's body had not fully expanded; it was currently only a hundred zhang in size. However, the coldness and ruthlessness revealed in its eyes were enough to shake the hearts of all who saw it.

As Wang Lin's finger descended, the Nether Beast closed its eyes. Its body slowly thinned, eventually turning into a mass of mist. After scattering, it enveloped heaven and earth, making everything here seem blurred in a fog.

This Nether Beast is Wang Lin's Fifth Ambush!

Wang Lin's Cultivator Clone sat cross-legged on the yellow sand desert, his expression revealing deep exhaustion. Performing actions like this continuously was something he had never done in his life. If these Divine Abilities were deployed during a life-or-death battle, he likely wouldn't have the time to fully unleash them, but right now, he could.

"There is still the Sixth Ambush…" Wang Lin silently raised his left hand. The blood on his fingertip had already scabbed over, but he tore it open and used the fresh blood to draw a circle around himself.

The moment the blood-colored circle was finished, Wang Lin directly spat out a mouthful of his Primordial Spirit Essence Qi. After it merged into the blood-colored circle, the circle became permeated with bloodiness and thick Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.

The instant the Origin Qi and bloody aura spread from the circle, the entire Cultivation Planet suddenly trembled. A vibration emanated from the core of the earth. That vibration underwent Fusion with the earth, causing the yellow sand on the ground to rise and fall in layers like ocean waves.

Without hesitation, Wang Lin formed a Seal with his right hand, and blood vessels immediately filled the pupils of his eyes. The blood vessels flashed, appearing in large quantities. After merging with the circle, they deeply concealed the aura emanating from it.

After a long time, the undulations of the earth slowly dissipated. At this point, Wang Lin let out a sigh of relief.

"That Muyu is my Sixth Ambush!"

A cold light flickered in Wang Lin's eyes. In his pupils, a faint golden light subtly emerged. That golden light revealed an extremely pure Immortal Bloodline Power—this was all that remained on Wang Lin's body at the moment.

He grabbed at the Void Realm with his right hand. Immediately, in a flash of brilliant golden light, the Li Guang Bow appeared, gripped tightly in his hand. He raised his head, looked at the sky, and after a long time, Wang Lin closed his eyes, carefully deducing the possible changes in this setup.

This Li Guang Bow is his final ambush, the Seventh Ambush!

Seven ambushes surrounded the area, setting up this heaven-shocking trap!

Time slowly flowed by. In the blink of an eye, another incense stick's worth of time passed. Wang Lin opened his eyes. Without any further hesitation, he waved his left hand, and an unlit black incense stick immediately appeared before him.

He flicked the incense stick into the air. With a whoosh, the stick instantly ignited, and black smoke rapidly rose into the sky like a beacon fire.

It was not over. After the incense stick ignited, Wang Lin tossed it forward. The stick flew out and stabbed into the yellow sand three zhang away from Wang Lin. The flame flickered, and the black smoke rose even thicker.

Wang Lin grabbed at the Void Realm with his left hand again. This time, what appeared before Wang Lin was Zixia, whose eyes were tightly closed. Wang Lin showed no mercy. He pointed his left index finger at Zixia's glabella. Zixia's entire body trembled, revealing an expression of pain. Combined with her stunning beauty, she exuded a pitiful charm capable of making anyone's heart flutter!

But Wang Lin's eyes remained cold. The moment his fingertip landed, Zixia's eyes snapped open. In her struggle, her right hand lifted uncontrollably. Trembling, she grabbed at the Void Realm, and a Sound Transmission Jade Slip immediately materialized.

Gripping the Jade Slip, Zixia's struggle intensified, but she was unable to control her mind or body. A Divine Thought was sent out. The Jade Slip flashed with light and immediately shattered.

With the seven ambushes laid, and using the burning incense and the Jade Slip, Wang Lin had thrown out the bait. He was just waiting for the prey to arrive to engage in a great battle on this Cultivation Planet!

In this fight, Wang Lin did not expect to kill the Seven-Colored or the Battle Old Ghost, but what he wanted was not necessarily death. Sometimes, severely wounding one person is enough to indirectly achieve the goal of destroying them.

After all, if either the Battle Old Ghost or the Seven-Colored Daoist were severely injured, it would present a huge opportunity for the other party!

Last week, I missed 50,000 by a few thousand, which is a bit of a pity. It seems many Fellow Daoists still haven't mastered the great Divine Ability of casting Recommendation Votes every day. The new week has arrived, Fellow Daoists, quickly practice this Divine Ability!
