Chapter 1766: Immortal Astral, tenth sun, Du Qing's Shock! (Second update)

"The Earth Fire tributary here has undergone an abnormal change, which must have attracted some attention. It is no longer convenient to remain here."

Wang Lin stood up while deep in thought and flicked his large sleeve, clearing away all the Restrictions he had left inside the Immortal Cave.

Wang Lin did not want to leave any clues for those pursuing him, especially regarding his proficiency in Restrictions. In this strange continent, having an extra layer of mystery was equivalent to having an extra layer of self-preservation.

The Restrictions dissipated without a trace. Even if someone were to notice, it would be difficult to distinguish whether it was caused by a Magic Treasure or human casting. Especially since, as Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, flames roared out and burned the Immortal Cave to a depth of over a zhang, leaving no traces behind.

After finishing all this, Wang Lin flickered and walked out of the Immortal Cave, standing between heaven and earth. It was now dawn; the sky was cloudless, azure blue, and very bright.

Breathing in the air of the Immortal Astral, Wang Lin strode off into the distance, speeding away.

His speed was extremely fast. In an instant, he turned into a long rainbow and disappeared at the edge of the horizon. His flight speed was slightly faster than before, and as he unleashed his full power, he flew ten thousand li in the blink of an eye.

Three days after Wang Lin left, several long rainbows whistled through the sky above these hundred thousand mountains. The person in the lead was none other than the Azure Dragon Sect Old Ancestor, Du Qing. His expression was gloomy as he stared at a mountain peak below, raising his right hand and pressing it down towards the peak.

Immediately, the world rumbled, and a wooden arm about a hundred zhang thick suddenly burst out from the ground. The arm broke through the soil, carrying a wave of flames, and slammed a fist into the mountain peak.

With a heaven-shaking roar, the mountain peak trembled and collapsed, turning into countless pieces of rubble that swept in all directions.

"Three days ago, the Earth Fire here underwent an abnormal change. That Cultivator surnamed Wang was clearly hiding here! Dammit, I have unleashed my full speed, yet I am still too late…" Killing intent appeared in Du Qing's eyes, and he flicked his large sleeve in silence.

"Spread out immediately and continue searching. I do not believe he can escape the Tianniu Continent!" Du Qing took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

"If this person hides, it will be very difficult to find him… It seems I will have to ask the Great Soul Gate for help…"

Wang Lin had no intention of deliberately hiding from the other party. If he truly wanted to hide, he could simply find a distant mountain peak, immerse himself within it, and come out after eight or ten years; naturally, there would be no future trouble.

The main reason he left was that he had discovered a great tonic that could strengthen his Fire Origin!

At this moment, as he sped through the sky, Wang Lin's Divine Sense spread out, covering the land below. His eyes flashed with a bright light, revealing an expression of excitement.

"There are numerous Earth Fire tributaries in this Tianniu Continent. Judging by their appearance, there are likely thousands, if not more. If I can absorb them all, or even absorb the flame of the main tributary, will my Fire Origin… reach the point where it condenses an Origin True Body, just like it did in the East Arrival Pool?" Thinking of this, Wang Lin's breathing became slightly rapid.

He vaguely guessed that the fire of the Tianniu Continent in the Immortal Astral had likely never been attempted to be absorbed by anyone throughout history. Everyone else was recognized by the fire of this world, comprehended its Origin, and thus became a powerful expert.

If one's Realm reached a certain level and their Origin grew stronger, perhaps they could become like a king among fire, but ultimately, it was still very different from Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was not a person of the Immortal Astral. His Fire Origin was not comprehended here, and he had not gained the recognition of the fire of this place. As a result, repulsion was inevitable.

It was like the relationship between complying with the will of heaven and acting in a Heaven-Defying manner. But it was precisely because of this that after Wang Lin devoured the soul of an Earth Fire tributary, his Fire Origin increased greatly!

"Xuan Luo once said that from ancient times to the present, no one from the Immortal Cave Realm has ever forcibly walked out and entered the Immortal Astral. Furthermore, I was not reincarnated, so naturally, I did not grow up here!"

"To me, the Immortal Astral is not a dangerous place, but rather a Treasure Trove!" The light in Wang Lin's eyes grew brighter. As he moved forward, crossing endless distances, he soon arrived at another area filled with mountains.

The mountain peaks here were lush and green, with no trace of Earth Fire visible at all. However, relying on the sensing of his Fire Origin, Wang Lin swept his gaze across and seemed to see a huge Fire Dragon deep underground beneath the mountain peaks, sleeping with its eyes closed.

The moment Wang Lin's gaze landed on that Fire Dragon, the Fire Dragon suddenly opened its eyes. Its eyes were a sea of fire, and it stared fixedly at Wang Lin from through the earth and the mountain peaks.

"Roar!!"

A roar echoed, the earth shook, and the mountain peaks swayed as if a violent wind were howling. However, this dragon roar could not be heard by ordinary people, and even Cultivators would find it difficult to perceive. Only Wang Lin, who possessed a different Fire Origin, could clearly hear this roar of extreme repulsion between those of the same kind.

His eyes flashed, and Wang Lin coldly snorted.

"A mere Earth Fire tributary soul dares to growl at me? What great audacity!" Wang Lin took a step downwards, instantly landing on a mountain peak, and raised his right hand, grabbing downwards fiercely.

"Extract the Earth Fire soul!"

As his right hand suddenly lifted, the mountain range rumbled. Seas of fire erupted from the ground, surging into the sky. The mountain peak beneath Wang Lin's feet collapsed violently amidst intense trembling. Amidst the flying rubble, a Fire Dragon with a head a thousand zhang large surged directly out from beneath the collapsed mountain peak.

The moment it appeared, the azure sky immediately turned crimson, as if being burned by flames. The earth even emitted sizzling sounds as Rifts tore open, and streams of magma Earth Fire flowed out.

That Fire Dragon was slightly larger than the one Wang Lin had devoured before. The power of the flames radiating from its body was comparable to the full-power strike of a Void Spirit Cultivator.

With a roar, the Fire Dragon's massive head approached Wang Lin directly and slammed into him. The world shook; it was like a flaming meteor descending from beyond the sky, rushing straight at Wang Lin. That astonishing Aura was enough to make many Cultivators change their expressions when facing it.

However, Wang Lin's expression remained calm, without the slightest change. Cold light flickered in his eyes. The moment the Fire Dragon rushed over, he raised his right hand and punched towards it!

A roaring sound erupted from the heavens and earth at that instant. Wang Lin's body swayed slightly, and he stood there without retreating a single step. However, the Fire Dragon let out a shrill screech as its head collapsed with a bang and exploded backwards.

Amidst the collapse, the Fire Dragon's head turned into a sea of fire and showed signs of condensing again. Furthermore, within the sea of fire, the dragon's eyes were the first to condense, emitting a furious light.

But Wang Lin did not give the Fire Dragon's head a chance to fully condense. He stepped forward, and a flame light flashed in his left eye. A Vermilion Bird materialized within his pupil, suddenly rushing out from it and manifesting before him, taking a fierce breath towards the Fire Dragon.

"Earth Fire tributary soul, return to your place!" At the instant the Vermilion Bird inhaled to devour it, Wang Lin's majestic voice echoed throughout this world.

The Fire Dragon's entire body shuddered. The sea of fire formed by its collapsed head was immediately twisted and sucked into the Vermilion Bird's mouth. This suction force grew greater and greater until, in the end, the earth shook, the mountains swayed, and the colors of the world changed. The entire body of the Fire Dragon had turned into a sea of fire and was completely sucked away by the Vermilion Bird!

Having absorbed two Earth Fire tributary souls, the Vermilion Bird's body immediately expanded, turning tens of thousands of zhang long. It floated in mid-air, looking as if it were about to cover the firmament.

The flames were raging, causing the Vermilion Bird to let out a heaven-shaking screech.

This screech turned into layers of ripples that spread continuously outwards from the Vermilion Bird as the center. Wang Lin took a step forward and landed on top of the Vermilion Bird's head, his entire body enveloped by the sea of fire.

With a screech, the Vermilion Bird's body immediately sped forward. Looking from afar, it was like a cloud of fire sweeping across the sky!

Wang Lin could clearly feel that his Fire Origin had grown stronger once again! This growth made his heart fill with excitement. One must know that when he was in the Immortal Cave Realm, his Fire Origin had already stopped changing and was fixed in place. Wang Lin had originally thought that this was the limit of his Fire Origin and believed it to be the true Major Achievement.

But he always felt that something was missing, though he could not clearly define what it was.

It was not until the dramatic changes that occurred in the East Arrival Pool within the diverse core of the Immortal Cave that a door leading to a higher level was blasted open for Wang Lin.

It let him know that his Fire Origin could actually turn into an Origin True Body! He would never forget the powerful feeling that came after the True Body appeared.

The simplest change was that when he unleashed a Divine Ability, it was no longer just a single strike, but a double overlap. That power far exceeded his current level! This kind of change was something Wang Lin had never imagined before.

Right now, in this Immortal Astral, his Fire Origin was growing stronger again, rapidly closing the distance towards forming his True Body!

In this strange Immortal Astral filled with countless experts, there was nothing more exciting than an increase in cultivation. Without a second thought, Wang Lin stepped on the massive Vermilion Bird and sped forward, his Divine Sense spreading out to search for the next Earth Fire tributary!

Two days after Wang Lin left, a long rainbow whistled over from the distance. The person inside the long rainbow was none other than the Azure Dragon Sect Old Ancestor, Du Qing! This time, he arrived even faster. Du Qing's body materialized on this land. His expression was gloomy, yet he revealed a hint of shock as he looked at the mountain range below, his eyelids twitching subconsciously.

"Something is wrong. This person triggered abnormal changes in the Earth Fire; once or twice could be called an accident, but now it has been three times! He is clearly doing this on purpose, but why on earth is he doing this…" Du Qing frowned, unable to figure it out.

His body flickered and descended, landing on a mountain peak. Du Qing's Divine Sense spread out, and he carefully examined the earth, even penetrating deeper into the underground.

Upon this look, he suddenly gasped, his expression changing drastically!

"The Earth Fire tributary has withered, the Earth Fire has dissipated, this tributary has actually died!! He is absorbing the Earth Fire. This… this is simply an impossible thing… Even if a Cultivator possesses a Fire Origin, they would not dare to forcibly absorb Earth Fire. Once this is done, it is very likely to cause a backlash of the Fire Origin within their body and they would be repelled by the fire of the Tianniu Continent… He… how did he do it, what on earth is he trying to do!" Horror appeared in Du Qing's eyes.

He had never heard of anyone being able to absorb and devour Earth Fire tributaries. The Fire Origin experts of the Immortal Astral usually offered sacrifices to the Earth Fire, and only after gaining its recognition would they comprehend its Origin. They would never dare to devour it, nor could they devour it!
