Chapter 1769: The Tenth Sun of Immortal Astral, Competing with Wang Lin’s Origin (Second Update)

Du Qing had cultivated the Dao for many years, experienced a great deal, and his body was made of wood; he had already seen through and understood all sorts of strange things, and rarely did anything appear that could shock him to such an extent.

But on this white-haired Cultivator before him, Du Qing felt shock and a tingling scalp one after another.

First, he saw withered and dead subterranean fire veins, then he caught up, and from the other party's hands, he saw the Spells from the World Sect, Eastflow Sect, and Pinecloud Dao.

All of this made it impossible for Du Qing to determine Wang Lin's identity and Origin; in his eyes, the other party was shrouded in a mysterious veil, and after lifting one layer, there were countless more within.

"He either genuinely learned them by stealth, for example, by joining various sects to learn their secret techniques!

Or, he has an extremely profound background… capable of obtaining the Divine Abilities of those sects…" Du Qing's face was pale, and as he continuously retreated, his mind raced with a hundred thoughts, generating countless conjectures.

"If it's the former, it means this person is cunning and adept at concealment. His cultivation must not be what he shows now; he must have many hidden cards… Such a person, though troublesome, would leave no future trouble if killed… But if it's the latter…" Du Qing's pupils constricted.

"If it's the latter, this person absolutely cannot be provoked!! It's already difficult for the Eastflow Sect and World Sect to offer their Cultivation Techniques, but compared to the three Daoist sects personally appointed by the Immortal Emperor, for Pinecloud Dao to impart the Art of the World-Burning Ancient Umbrella, this… this is simply too terrifying… What kind of background could achieve this…?" Du Qing recalled a conjecture, and his face immediately grew even paler.

Despite Du Qing hiding his shock, Wang Lin still noticed some of it. He stood on the Fire Dragon Soul, and absorbing its flame power still required some time. Although he wasn't afraid of being disturbed during this period, if he could absorb it peacefully, the effect would naturally be better.

He had initially thought he would engage in a fierce battle with Du Qing, but as it looked now, it seemed unnecessary to be too intense; Du Qing might just leave on his own.

"Do you still want to fight me…?" Wang Lin said calmly, slowly speaking while absorbing the subterranean fire Origin on top of the Fire Dragon's head.

His voice was majestic, reverberating through heaven and earth.

"The second possibility is unlikely. This person might only know the techniques of these three sects, and him displaying them in front of me might just be to scare me away! It should already be his limit!" Du Qing had cultivated the Dao for many years; how could he change his mind so easily? Hearing Wang Lin's words, he immediately let out a long howl.

His body flickered and twisted, revealing his purple-wood body. A sheet of flames emanated from within him, enveloping his entire being.

From a distance, it was quite astonishing!

"I refuse to believe you know a fourth major sect's technique!"

As Du Qing's words came, and his body whistled closer, Wang Lin burst into laughter. His laughter fell into Du Qing's ears, seeming to carry a hint of mockery, causing Du Qing's mind to tremble.

Wang Lin was seen sitting, controlling the iron chains formed by sixteen Fire Dragons, raising his right hand and suddenly waving it towards the sky.

The entire world was immediately enveloped by a howling black wind. Gusts of black wind swept through, and roars and howls emerged from within, as thirteen Black Dragons materialized and weaved through the black wind.

At the same time, these thirteen Black Dragons opened their mouths, and a wind of annihilation howled forth. Within the wind were countless raindrops, moving with the wind, like a Dragon King bestowing rain!

If it were just that, it wouldn't be extraordinary, but at the moment each raindrop descended, it emitted a dazzling crystal light. Those raindrops instantly transformed into illusory souls, each soul emitting a mournful roar, overwhelming Du Qing.

"Summon Wind, Rain Summoning, Sow Beans to Make Soldiers… Earth Cracking, Mountain Collapsing…" Wang Lin's voice rose coldly. The earth rumbled, and huge cracks appeared out of thin air. Illusory volcanoes materialized on this land containing subterranean fire sub-veins. The volcanoes erupted with a roar, black smoke billowed, and endless lava spewed forth.

"Overcast Moon, Clear Skies!" Wang Lin let out a low roar, raising his right hand and pointing at the sky. Suddenly, a bright moon appeared in the sky, which was covered by black wind.

It was clearly daytime at this moment, and the appearance of this moon was extremely bizarre!

The moment the moon appeared, Wang Lin's finger descended, pointing at the approaching Du Qing. Immediately, a moon-shaped mark materialized on Du Qing's face, rapidly spreading.

"How is this technique!" Wang Lin flicked his large sleeve, standing atop the Fire Dragon's head like a supreme being, looking down at the pale-faced and once again shocked Du Qing!

"Yin… Yin Moon Sect… Yin Moon Great Law starting Move…" Du Qing's mind was filled with thunderous crashes. The Yin Moon Sect was also one of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates of the Eastern Continent!

Du Qing suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot. He had been stunned by Wang Lin's continuous Divine Abilities, but if he were to retreat now, after chasing for so long, he would have no face to do so!

In fact, up until now, he had only made one Move!

"So what if you have numerous Divine Abilities from other sects!! Your own cultivation must be inferior to mine, otherwise, you wouldn't use such methods to try and stop me from attacking!

The more you do this, the more it shows you don't dare to act!" Du Qing roared. He had never encountered such a predicament in his life, where he was caught between a rock and a hard place. Now, he threw caution to the wind, forcefully suppressing the shock in his heart, and flashed forward. As he raised his right hand, flames roared up from his entire body, converging on his right hand. A large amount of purple Qi also emanated from his wooden body, heading straight for Wang Lin.

"This old man's cultivation relies entirely on himself. Although I don't have as many Divine Abilities as you, I possess three Origins! This old man's three Origins endured the suffering of Profound Tribulations; how could I be scared away by a mere person with one fire Origin!

This old man wants to see how many Origins you have, being so arrogant!" Du Qing's roar shook the heavens. The flames on his right hand, impacted by the purple Qi emanating from his body, immediately transformed into purple fire, illuminating the entire world. A wave of heat surged forth, carrying Du Qing's body as he strode towards Wang Lin.

"Earth Origin!" As Du Qing advanced, his left hand pressed down on the void of the earth below. Immediately, the cracked ground began to vibrate strangely, and specks of crystal light, like yellow sand, floated out in unison, instantly gathering before Du Qing's left hand, forming a ball of yellow mist like smoke threads.

Within this mist, there was a rich aura of Earth Origin. As this aura spread, the ground immediately appeared distorted, as if the surrounding environment had subtly transformed into a vast desert!

"Weight Origin!" Du Qing let out a low roar towards the sky. The reason he could become a Void Realm Cultivator, and the reason he could pass through several Profound Tribulations, besides the nature of his Physical Body, was deeply related to this Weight Origin he had comprehended.

Even his protection within the Great Soul Gate was connected to this Origin!

The Weight Origin involves comprehending the weight of all matter in heaven and earth, from a tiny grain of sand to a massive landmass, and even further, understanding all changes in lightness and heaviness, controlling them with a single thought, and changing them at will.

This Weight Origin is rare in the Immortal Astral Continent, often requiring special talent to comprehend. Du Qing originally did not possess this qualification, but his wooden body contained a trace of the Weight Origin, which allowed him to gradually explore and comprehend it within his body.

Once this Origin emerged, it was invisible, but it made the purple sea of fire in Du Qing's right hand seem to possess weight out of thin air!

Since ancient times, on the Immortal Astral Continent, there have been two different understandings of fire. The core of this understanding is whether fire has weight!

One side believes it exists, while the other believes fire is merely a phenomenon and should not have weight!

Even now, this understanding has not been definitively proven right or wrong, but in terms of Divine Abilities, it poses no obstacle. Du Qing, through his Weight Origin, actually imbued this fire with weight!

As a result, the power of this fire increased exponentially!

At the same time, the Earth Origin mist in his left hand, under the effect of this Weight Origin, felt as if Du Qing was holding an entire continent!

All of this sounds slow, but in reality, it happened in an instant. With all three Origins unleashed, Du Qing charged towards Wang Lin like a battle Immortal.

"No matter who you are, prepare to die at this old man's hands!"

Wang Lin stood atop the Fire Dragon Soul, his pupils constricted. With his mind controlling it, the Fire Dragon roared, its body uncontrollably speeding backward. At the same time, all the Divine Abilities Wang Lin had previously unleashed rushed towards Du Qing.

The Seven-Colored Long Spear, the Spirit Command Seal, and the unfurled World-Burning Ancient Umbrella, along with the Overcast Moon, Clear Skies technique within the black wind—four Divine Abilities that could be considered top-tier on the Immortal Astral Continent—all erupted with the strongest power Wang Lin could wield at this moment!

Furthermore, due to the presence of the Fire Dragon, Wang Lin seemed to be connected to it. With this Dragon helping to offset the aftershocks, Wang Lin could fully engage Du Qing in battle!

He had even sealed a Venerable Master and dared to attack Old Ghost Zhan and Daoist Seven-Colors; how could he possibly be afraid of this mere Du Qing!

If only Wang Lin's storage space could be fully opened, then with the Puppet of the Underworld's arrival, Du Qing would surely be defeated!

The roar instantly shook heaven and earth. Du Qing's cultivation was too high, and with three Origins unleashed simultaneously, even without any Divine Ability Moves, those Origins themselves were his strongest Divine Abilities.

Rumbling sounds echoed, and all four of Wang Lin's sect Divine Abilities collapsed. However, the aftershocks of Du Qing's Origin power still howled forward, pressing against Wang Lin. The Fire Dragon Soul beneath Wang Lin's feet could no longer bear it, and with a mournful shriek, it suddenly collapsed.

The collapse of the Fire Dragon formed a huge fireball, enveloping Wang Lin's entire body.

Du Qing rushed out of the impact where the four sect Divine Abilities disintegrated, intending to close in and deliver a fatal blow to Wang Lin.

But at this moment, Wang Lin's voice slowly emanated from within the fireball.

"Do you think I only have one Origin…? Do you think your three Origins are a lot…?"

If anyone else had said these words, Du Qing might have ignored them, but because Wang Lin said them, Du Qing's mind inexplicably trembled.
