Chapter 1761: The Tenth Sun of Immortal Astral, The First Battle of Immortal Astral! (Third Update)

Following the young man's gaze, the middle-aged man immediately looked over. The moment he saw the raging sea of fire burning like a pillar in the Formation deep within the Immortal Cave, the middle-aged man's pupils constricted.

After all, he already possessed an Origin, his cultivation had reached the Late Stage of the void spirit realm, making him a third-step mighty figure. Within the Azure Dragon Sect, he was second only to one person and above tens of thousands. Even across the entire Tianniu Continent, he was a top-ranked powerhouse.

The instant he saw the pillar of fire, he vaguely seemed to see within it a figure sitting cross-legged, completely engulfed in flames, with a coffin on its back. An aura that shook the middle-aged man's heart subtly spread out.

"What kind of corpse is this?!" The middle-aged man's expression was grim. He glared fiercely at Kang Ren, who was beside him, stunned and terrified. With a cold snort, he took a step towards the pillar of fire.

He was confident in his profound cultivation and had not sensed an overly powerful aura from the cross-legged figure. Therefore, he stepped directly towards the flames.

He was not far from the flames to begin with. With this step, he approached the outer edge of the flames. The air bubble in front of him even touched the flames, and a series of crackling sounds immediately echoed. The flames, upon touching the air bubble, immediately receded inward, as if opening a gap for the middle-aged man.

"What wild Cultivator dares to infiltrate my Azure Dragon Sect? If I don't refine you into a Puppet, wouldn't the Cultivators of Tianniu Continent laugh at me!" The middle-aged man took another step, half his body entering the flames. As he entered, the flames roared, but they could not break through the air bubble outside his body.

But at this very instant, Wang Lin, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his closed eyes. Two streaks of cold light flashed abruptly within them. The moment he opened his eyes, the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. He felt an aura that made him tremble with terror suddenly erupt from the eyes of the white-haired man sitting cross-legged.

The strength of this aura was world-shattering. Compared to it, he was like a firefly beneath a bright moon, seemingly about to be incinerated. In his horror, the middle-aged man's footsteps halted.

"Get out!" Wang Lin's mouth uttered cold words. He raised his right hand and waved it forward. As these words left his mouth, it was as if winter had instantly descended upon the Immortal Cave. Moreover, outside the Immortal Cave, due to the echo of this single sentence, cold winds immediately howled, the falling rain seemed about to freeze, and the sea of fire on the ground dimmed, struggling as if it were about to be extinguished!

The middle-aged man felt it even more intensely. His entire body instantly turned cold. Furthermore, as Wang Lin waved his hand, the air bubble outside his body immediately made crackling sounds, suddenly shattering into fragments and rolling back, causing the middle-aged man's face to turn pale, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes filled with immense fear and disbelief.

His body was beyond his control, as if ten thousand great mountains had simultaneously crashed into him with Wang Lin's words and wave of his hand, forcing the middle-aged man to retreat several steps, spitting out blood again. His body, like a kite with a broken string, was directly swept out of the Immortal Cave.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Cultivators outside the Immortal Cave, the middle-aged man was rapidly thrown out, spitting out a third mouthful of blood. With a boom, he was swept a thousand zhang away before he could barely stop, his face utterly pale, the fear in his eyes indescribable.

"Who are you!!!" The middle-aged man immediately let out a shrill cry.

This sudden scene not only caused an uproar among all the Azure Dragon Sect Cultivators around but also made the two Elders who had transformed into long Dragons within the clouds tremble. Especially the white-haired Old Man, Xu Yun's Master, whose eyes widened in disbelief.

"Who is in that Immortal Cave!! Even Elder Zhao, who has void spirit Late Stage cultivation, was instantly swept back and heavily injured!"

"Noisy!" Amidst the uproar, Wang Lin's indifferent voice came from Kang Ren's Immortal Cave.

As this voice sounded, the surroundings instantly fell silent. Even the rain falling from the sky seemed to stop, suspended in mid-air, unable to fall.

Watching this scene, especially the sight of the rain not falling, the white-haired Old Man's expression showed horror.

"Words forming rules, all things still. This… this is a manifestation of cultivation reaching the empty tribulation realm, or even higher! This person… who exactly is this person!!

What kind of person did Kang Ren bring back!! Such cultivation, even on the Tianniu Continent, would make him a renowned figure; it's impossible for him to be nameless!"

Inside the Immortal Cave, Kang Ren was in utter despair. He had personally witnessed Elder Zhao, a highly esteemed figure within the Sect, spitting blood and retreating with a single word in front of the flames. Seeing this scene, and the earlier eruption of the earth fire, he knew he had caused a great disaster!

"This… this is no good fortune, this is an Old Ancestor!"

Wang Lin, within the flames, closed his eyes once more. His Divine Sense had already spread out and swept the surroundings when the earth fire erupted. There was no one here who could make him pay serious attention.

However, he also understood that this was the Immortal Astral Continent, where there were many powerhouses. He had heard the words from outside; the Sect Master and Old Ancestor of this Sect were out and were now on their way back.

Although this region was vast, even a third-step mighty figure would find it difficult to arrive quickly. Even if they merged with heaven and earth, this Immortal Astral Continent might be different from the Immortal Cave Realm. Wang Lin had already noticed this when he first awoke.

At this moment, the earth fire permeated his body, continuously fusing within him, being refined and absorbed to nourish his fire Origin. After a brief thought, Wang Lin raised his right hand and grabbed at the Void Realm outside the flames. Immediately, Kang Ren, whose body was confined and unable to escape from the Immortal Cave, instantly transformed into a long rainbow, rushing into the flames and being seized by Wang Lin by the neck.

His cold gaze fell upon Kang Ren.

As Kang Ren's eyes met Wang Lin's, his mind immediately rumbled as if ten thousand heavenly thunders were roaring, leaving him with no power to resist or struggle. His face was filled with terror, his body trembled, and his gaze towards Wang Lin was full of despair.

"Se… Senior, spare my life…"

Wang Lin ignored Kang Ren's words. His Divine Sense spread out directly through his right hand into Kang Ren's mind, sweeping through his memories. After finding the fragments he needed, he waved his hand, throwing Kang Ren out of the flames and re-confining him there.

"The Sect Master in the Early Stage of the empty tribulation realm, Old Ancestor Du Qing in the Early Stage of the empty tribulation realm…" Wang Lin frowned. He didn't care about the empty tribulation realm Early Stage, but that empty tribulation realm Early Stage was a bit troublesome.

"It's inconvenient to open the Storage Space; there's a high possibility of an accident. In that case, Magic Treasures cannot be taken out, and that Puppet of the Underworld cannot appear either… This makes it somewhat disadvantageous to fight an empty tribulation realm Cultivator…"

While contemplating, a large amount of earth fire was absorbed into Wang Lin's body, transforming into fire energy to nourish his Origin, making this fire Origin even stronger.

"Forget it, I should leave here and find a place to study the Storage Space issue. Also, the other Origins seem to have some changes and differences here, which I need to familiarize myself with." Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he made a decision. He had just arrived on the Immortal Astral Continent and was not yet fully familiar with it. With his personality, he did not wish to be too arrogant.

Having made up his mind, he formed Hand Seals with both hands and waved them upwards. Immediately, the earth began to tremble violently again. More earth fire erupted with a roar from deep underground as Wang Lin waved his hands, enveloping the entire Immortal Cave, and some even spread outwards.

This scene, falling into the eyes of the people outside, especially the middle-aged man, whose cultivation had reached such a level, naturally possessed considerable intelligence. At this moment, he instantly saw through the trick.

"He's trying to escape!!" The middle-aged man's face was grim. Although the previous scene had terrified him, what he feared even more was the furious rage that would erupt once the Old Ancestor returned!

When the Old Ancestor got angry, he might even refine him into a wooden figure. The middle-aged man had witnessed such things before, and his heart was filled with dread towards the Old Ancestor.

"I absolutely cannot let him escape before the Old Ancestor returns. If this person escapes, I won't be able to bear the Old Ancestor's wrath!" Thinking this, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and immediately roared.

"Li Changtian, Sun Mengde, Han Xin! This person is trying to escape, you absolutely cannot let him! Otherwise, if the Old Ancestor gets angry, you know the consequences!! All Azure Dragon Sect Disciples, remove the Heavenly Water Formation and all use the Dao Chanting Art!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man suppressed his injuries and charged out directly. Behind him, the white-haired Old Man's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and charged out.

At the same time, the two long Dragons in the sky's clouds twisted, transforming into a man and a woman. Remembering the Old Ancestor's terrifying power, they immediately unleashed their full cultivation, turning into two long rainbows and flying straight towards the Immortal Cave below!

The four Grand Elders of the Azure Dragon Sect, four third-step mighty figures, all made their move to prevent Wang Lin from leaving!

The tens of thousands of Azure Dragon Sect Cultivators in the sky, under the middle-aged man's command, one by one abandoned the Heavenly Water Formation. Forming Hand Seals with both hands, they all began to chant in low whispers. The murmuring sounds of tens of thousands of people merged together, forming a strange power that echoed between heaven and earth.

The Dao Chanting Art was a Divine Ability of the Great Soul Gate. The Azure Dragon Sect's Old Ancestor had a deep relationship with the Great Soul Gate and was bestowed this Divine Ability, making it a Formation technique of their Sect!

If one listened carefully, they could faintly discern that the tens of thousands of people were only saying two words: Dao and Soul!

"Dao Soul… Soul Dao… Dao Soul…"

This sound enveloped the earth below and entered Wang Lin's ears, immediately causing a tremor in his mind. It was as if a force was entering his body, melting his Dao intent and separating his Soul.

This feeling immediately made Wang Lin feel irritable. His eyes flashed, and with a cold snort, he stood up and took a step outward. The moment this step landed, the Heartbeat Thunder Sound, which he had learned in the Ancient Tomb, boomed forth.

The thumping, thumping sound of a heartbeat directly spread out from his body, becoming increasingly intense, connecting into a single roar like thunder, directly confronting the Dao Chanting Art coming from outside.

At the same time, as the four Grand Elders rushed into the Immortal Cave, preparing to seal off the area and prevent him from leaving, Wang Lin raised his right hand and grabbed at the Void Realm of the earth, his expression turning fierce.

"Extract the Soul of the Earth Fire Vein!"
