Chapter 1720: Ancient Mystery, Ambush Initiated!

"Eighty percent, retract!" Eighty percent was Wang Lin's limit. The moment these words left his mouth, his face turned deathly pale, and the life force within his body drained away frantically. He instantly appeared to have aged by more than half.

At the same time, the Burning Realm Ancient Umbrella roared and rapidly retracted. Amidst the echoing screams, it was unknown how many had died.

The three great War Generals were even more shaken, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths. They exerted all their strength to resist the fire power of the Burning Realm Ancient Umbrella, while also deploying their full speed to try and break out.

The Seven-Colored Daoist and Old Ghost Zhan both had grim expressions. With the sea of fire filling the surroundings, even they had to resist this Divine Ability. After all, although their cultivation was high, their Physical Bodies were not as formidable as those of the Ancient Race.

Amidst the roaring echoes, the Seven-Colored Daoist had inherited the Immortal Venerable's Divine Ability. Within that Legacy of Divine Abilities, the technique for the Burning Realm Ancient Umbrella also existed. Although it was not exactly the same as the one Wang Lin used, he understood it much better than the others. At this moment, he let out a low roar and leaped, becoming the first to rush out from the sea of fire, carrying monstrous killing intent as he charged straight at Wang Lin!

A cold glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. After reaching his limit of eighty percent, he knew he could no longer push it to ten percent, but he was satisfied that the Burning Realm Ancient Umbrella Divine Ability had achieved such an effect!

The instant the Seven-Colored Daoist rushed out, Wang Lin violently flicked his left hand toward the sky!

The heavens and earth roared, and the ground shook. Seven-colored light flashed rapidly beside Wang Lin. That seven-colored light surged from the ground toward the sky, reflecting off the Seven-Colored Daoist who had been the first to rush out of the sea of fire. Once connected, they became almost indistinguishable; the sky and the ground were filled with seven-colored light.

A seven-colored Long Spear, amidst a heaven-shaking whistle, shot directly out from the ground beside Wang Lin. Like a seven-colored Dragon, it soared into the sky with a roar, heading straight for the Seven-Colored Daoist!

This scene was too sudden. Almost the instant the Seven-Colored Daoist stepped out of the sea of fire, his pupils constricted violently. As he flicked his large sleeves, the five-colored lotus platform outside his body—which had lost two petals—suddenly materialized. Just like when he resisted the blade Wang Lin had formed using the rules earlier, the lotus petals retracted, wrapping the Seven-Colored Daoist inside.

But this time, the Seven-Colored Daoist's lotus platform could not stop Wang Lin's Divine Ability, the seven-colored Long Spear. This Divine Ability, like the Burning Realm Ancient Umbrella, did not belong to the techniques of this Immortal Cave Realm. Once unleashed, if it could exert more than half of its power, it was extremely terrifying!

The Long Spear whistled and instantly neared the lotus platform. The moment it touched the lotus, the five petals of the lotus platform immediately collapsed one by one with loud bangs, turning into a cloud of debris that swirled backward, while the lotus platform itself exploded with a boom.

It revealed the Seven-Colored Daoist inside, whose face was gloomy. Almost without hesitation, he raised his right hand and flicked his large sleeve, manifesting an identical seven-colored Long Spear, which directly collided with Wang Lin's seven-colored Long Spear.

Boom, boom, boom, boom! Heaven-shaking, the collision of the two seven-colored Long Spears kicked up a shockwave that swept through the sky and swirled in all directions. At this very instant, Wang Lin's third ambush appeared!

Amidst the scattering shockwaves, Wang Lin's main body materialized. Between his brows and in his eyes, star points formed a vortex, and the shadow of the dao ancient condensed behind his main body. His main body flickered and instantly expanded to a thousand feet. After Fusion with the shadow, they became indistinguishable. Holding a heaven-opening giant axe in his hand, as the Long Spear collapsed, he looked up and roared, then violently swung his right hand forward.

With this swing, the heaven-opening giant axe whistled straight toward the Seven-Colored Daoist! At this moment, it was exactly when Old Ghost Zhan walked out from the sea of fire behind the Seven-Colored Daoist.

Old Ghost Zhan's eyes flashed with greed. Taking advantage of Wang Lin's main body swinging the giant axe at the Seven-Colored Daoist, Old Ghost Zhan took a step forward and rushed toward Wang Lin at extreme speed, heading straight for the third soul floating in front of Wang Lin!

But in Wang Lin's land of seven ambushes, how could he let Old Ghost Zhan get his way? His cultivation could not compare to his opponent's, but he had ambushes in place. Almost the moment Old Ghost Zhan was within a hundred feet, Wang Lin suddenly raised his left hand and curled his five fingers forward.

"Fourth ambush, Ghost Face Blood Sail!!"

Old Ghost Zhan's body suddenly paused, a moment of confusion appearing in his eyes. Immediately following, as a buzzing echo swirled through the heavens and earth, a patch of blood-colored mist appeared in front of Old Ghost Zhan. The mist churned and transformed into a huge red ghost face, which, in a silent roar, engulfed Old Ghost Zhan.

This kind of illusion could trap even the Seven-Colored Daoist for some time; Old Ghost Zhan likewise could not avoid it. The instant he was swallowed by the red mist ghost face, he immediately sat cross-legged, his expression shifting uncertainly.

At the same time, Wang Lin's main body's giant axe neared the Seven-Colored Daoist. The moment it fell with a boom, a violent sound erupted, shaking the heavens. Amidst the continuous echoes, the pure power of his main body could not harm the Seven-Colored Daoist. Wang Lin knew this, so for this strike, he would rather shatter his weapon!

The heaven-opening giant axe collapsed into fragments. As it collapsed, its full power erupted. Amidst the roar, Wang Lin's main body suddenly collapsed, flesh and blood flying backward. But with his dao ancient Undying Technique prepared in advance, he continuously recovered while retreating, until the instant he Fusion-ed with his cross-legged Clone, his injuries were fully recovered.

Yet blood still spilled from the corners of Wang Lin's mouth, dripping onto his white clothes, a shocking sight.

Looking at the Seven-Colored Daoist again, his hair was disheveled, madness in his eyes, as he took large, ferocious steps toward Wang Lin. At the same time, the three great War Generals and the Venerable Master and others also charged out from the sea of fire one by one. But the moment they stepped out, they all paused, disbelief appearing in their eyes!

They never expected to see such a scene: Old Ghost Zhan enveloped in red mist, his expression twisted, motionless a hundred feet from Wang Lin.

The Seven-Colored Daoist, disheveled and in a sorry state, looked as if he had gone mad.

They had not seen the previous scene, and seeing only the result now, their hearts were filled with horror. Especially the Venerable Master, who could not believe it. He knew the cultivation of the Seven-Colored Daoist and Old Ghost Zhan, but the fact that these two were so disheveled before Wang Lin caused his heart to tremble uncontrollably.

The Azure Dragon War General gasped, the gaze he directed at Wang Lin revealing an unprecedented wariness. In such matters, once there was a comparison, it was most unsettling.

The Black Tortoise War General's face was pale. He suddenly turned and looked around. He thought of Wang Lin's Heavenly Dao, and fear rose in his heart; he even regretted coming here!

The Vermilion Bird War General felt the most complex emotions; looking at the scene before him now, it was hard to suppress the shock in his heart.

And there was the Sixth Immortal Concubine. This woman had managed to struggle out of the sea of fire, already injured, and now seeing this horrifying scene, her fear of Wang Lin was stirred up once again.

But in reality, Wang Lin was already battered and exhausted. Whether it was his cultivation Clone or his dao ancient main body, both were heavily injured. If not for holding onto a single breath, he would certainly have fainted by now.

He held the home-field advantage and had set up ambushes, yet he still suffered such injuries; this showed the formidable power of the Seven-Colored Daoist!

The Seven-Colored Daoist's killing intent toward Wang Lin had reached its Peak. At this moment, he strode over with a whistle, nearing in an instant. He raised his right hand, not to grab the third soul, but to kill Wang Lin!

Wang Lin's face was devoid of color, but his eyes were calm. The instant the Seven-Colored Daoist approached, his right hand was still gripping the Li Guang Bow, and he raised his left hand to point at the Seven-Colored Daoist.

"Heavenly Dao Nether, swallow the heavens and consume the earth!!" The instant these words echoed, the heavens and earth immediately roared. In front of the Seven-Colored Daoist, a huge Rift appeared. Looking at this Rift from afar, it was clearly a giant mouth!

The Nether Beast materialized. Its eyes suddenly opened, revealing a cold and ruthless intent. The instant the Seven-Colored Daoist neared, it suddenly swallowed!

The Nether Beast opened its mouth, swallowing all living things. The moment it swallowed, several Disciples of the Seven Dao Sect of the Ancient Immortal Realm who had struggled out of the sea of fire, before they could even see what was around them, were immediately shaken and dragged by a suction force, swallowed into the Nether Beast's mouth.

Even a portion of the sea of fire in the sky was separated and swallowed by the Nether Beast.

The three great War Generals' expressions changed, and they continuously solidified their bodies, attempting to resist. But the Sixth Immortal Concubine, screaming, could not resist this suction force, and her delicate body was directly swept into the Nether Beast's giant mouth.

The Venerable Master stood there, stunned. He looked at the Nether Beast, his face deathly pale. When he first saw this beast, he had already guessed something. The scene of its master being swallowed back then was a memory he found hard to forget. Only, the look in the Nether Beast's eyes that time had made him hesitate, unsure if it was as he had thought. But seeing the cold and ruthless gaze of the Nether Beast now, the Venerable Master had no more doubts and retreated frantically in terror.

The Seven-Colored Daoist's expression changed. His steps suddenly halted there, and he stared fixedly at the Nether Beast, shock appearing in his eyes.

"Heaven… Heavenly Dao!!!"

The Nether Beast was not complete and could not swallow someone too strong. Wang Lin understood this. The reason he still chose to use this beast as his fifth ambush was precisely to gain this moment of horror from the Seven-Colored Daoist!

After all, Wang Lin could not use the Body Fixing Art on the Seven-Colored Daoist; he could not withstand the backlash. Thus, he had the Nether Beast appear, using it to exchange for an effect similar to the Body Fixing Art!

"Sixth ambush!!" A grim smile appeared at the corners of Wang Lin's mouth, but this smile was very weak, and blood continued to spill out. Consequently, this smile looked quite eerie and sinister!

He slammed his left hand violently into the ground. A method for controlling power from the White Tiger secret technique, learned from the Second Generation Vermilion Bird, transformed into layers of vibrational force that surged directly from Wang Lin's hand into the depths of the ground, suddenly stimulating the body of the mutated Eye Fish sleeping in this place!

Furthermore, at this instant, the blood-colored circle Wang Lin had previously drawn with his blood outside his body immediately soared into the sky with a boom. The Restriction inside it dissipated, causing the bloodthirstiness on it and the Origin Qi of the heavens and earth to no longer be hidden, erupting completely.

As this blood-colored circle flashed, it shot straight toward the Seven-Colored Daoist. The instant the Seven-Colored Daoist recovered from the shock of the Heavenly Dao, this blood-colored circle directly collapsed and exploded.

A massive amount of aura permeated around the Seven-Colored Daoist. The instant it surrounded him, this Cultivation Planet shook violently, and a roar that seemed to have been sleeping for countless millions of years, looking down upon the heavens and earth, came muffled from the depths of the ground.

At the same time this sound appeared, all the yellow sand on the ground surged into the sky!
