Chapter 178: Ancient God Legacy (II)

Wang Lin was inside the Heaven Defying space, and he could see everything outside clearly through the special function of the Heaven Defying Bead.

Before the Heaven Defying Bead was completely recognized as his, it was impossible to do this.

However, ever since Wang Lin reached the Core Formation Middle Stage, he discovered that after entering the bead, there was a noticeable difference compared to before.

This feeling had also appeared back when he had just reached the Core Formation stage, but it was not as obvious as it was this time.

After Wang Lin analyzed it, the increase in his cultivation might be one reason, but a greater possibility was the strengthening of his Divine Sense.

After all, the Wandering Souls in the third barrier had caused his Divine Sense to grow significantly.

At this moment, inside the Heaven Defying space, as long as he grasped the long, glowing object around him, he would immediately perceive everything outside.

The appearance of the Demonic Lord of Six Desires surprised Wang Lin; he had not expected that this Demonic Lord of Six Desires could also pass through the exit of the third barrier and eventually arrive at this Ancient God Land.

Furthermore, judging by the Vortex that appeared before the other party manifested, the Demonic Lord of Six Desires had clearly just been teleported in by the Teleportation Formation of the fourth barrier.

Wang Lin steadied his Qi and focused his mind, preparing to reveal himself and walk separately after the other party left; if the two of them met here, it would not be a good thing for Wang Lin.

However, what happened next gave him a great shock.

The things that the Demonic Lord of Six Desires was absorbing and devouring looked very familiar to Wang Lin, and he immediately thought of the scene where the Demonic Lord of Six Desires used his Demonic Technique in the passageway.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but gasp, his gaze flickering as he watched intently, but soon, a trace of doubt rose in his heart; it seemed that what the other party was absorbing was too simple.

It was as if everything had been prepared, just waiting for the Demonic Lord of Six Desires to devour it.

He could clearly feel that the Demonic Lord of Six Desires was constantly becoming stronger.

The Demonic Lord of Six Desires felt this unprecedented power; his Profound Heaven Demonic Desire Technique had already reached Great Perfection. At this moment, his heart was filled with agitation; his pursuit of several thousand years had been satisfied on this day, and this feeling made him extremely comfortable.

He looked at his hands and laughed up at the sky. He had confidence; even if his Master appeared before him now, he would not be afraid and had the confidence to fight him.

This confidence came from the Ancient God Desires he had absorbed. The six types of desires fused together, forming a special power that allowed him to control the life and death of others.

However, before the Demonic Lord of Six Desires could continue his lamentations, his expression suddenly sank, but soon he revealed a hint of ferocity. In the distance, a figure like a shooting star was rapidly rushing toward his direction.

"Old man, since you do not care about the relationship between Master and Disciple, do not blame me for killing my Master and destroying my ancestors!"

The Demonic Lord of Six Desires revealed a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth, his body remaining unmoved as he coldly stared at the figure drawing closer.

In almost the blink of an eye, the figure sped over and stopped ten zhang in front of the Demonic Lord of Six Desires. The Heavenly Demon Wanderer appeared.

He stared at the Demonic Lord of Six Desires, his eyes revealing an unconcealable look of wild joy, and laughed loudly: "Good! You are worthy of being my, the Heavenly Demon Wanderer's, Disciple. You actually dared to absorb the Ancient God Desires. Yi'er, this Master wants to thank you properly."

Wang Lin's heart trembled. Inside the Heaven Defying space, through the Heaven Defying Bead, he clearly felt everything outside. The appearance of this person immediately shocked him; this person's appearance was too similar to Meng Tuozi's, both possessing that monstrous, strange Physical Body.

What surprised him even more was that, judging from this person's words, he was actually the Master of the Demonic Lord of Six Desires!

Wang Lin did not know that the mastermind who entered this Ancient God Land a thousand years ago was this Heavenly Demon Wanderer, but after analyzing it slightly in his heart, he guessed most of it.

Through this person's words, Wang Lin also learned that what the Demonic Lord of Six Desires had just devoured was actually the Ancient God Desires. He did not know what the Ancient God Desires were, but from the literal meaning, he understood their implication.

The Demonic Lord of Six Desires' eyes revealed a cold glint. Without a word, he quickly formed Hand Seals in front of his chest, changing the Hand Seal, and chanted in a low voice: "Spirit of Desire, emerge!"

As soon as the words fell, columns of smoke of different colors immediately appeared behind the Demonic Lord of Six Desires. As soon as these smoke columns appeared, they immediately transformed into ferocious ghosts, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they pounced toward the Heavenly Demon Wanderer.

The Heavenly Demon Wanderer's eyes became even more greedy. He did not stop the Demonic Lord of Six Desires from casting the Spell but instead unfolded the same Hand Seal with his hands. At the moment the other party cast this Spell, he simultaneously shouted in a low voice: "Spirit of Desire, emerge!"

Immediately, behind him, the same flowing smoke appeared, transforming into six ferocious ghosts that pounced forward.

The Demonic Lord of Six Desires revealed a trace of mockery at the corner of his mouth. Although he learned from the Heavenly Demon Wanderer, he had long known that the other party had held back on this Profound Heaven Demonic Desire Technique. Therefore, long ago, the Demonic Lord of Six Desires had been researching it himself and had improved upon this Cultivation Technique. To this day, he believed that his improved Profound Heaven Demonic Desire Technique would definitely not be inferior to the Heavenly Demon Wanderer's.

Just at the moment when the two almost identical Spirit of Desire Spells intersected, the Heavenly Demon Wanderer revealed a strange smile on his face. He suddenly stretched out his arms, and his entire person floated upward rapidly.

His hair moved without wind, and bursts of Spiritual Qi poured out from his body.

"With bone as the guide…" The Heavenly Demon Wanderer shouted in a low voice, his voice having a rather vicissitudinous feeling. As soon as this voice fell, the golden hand bone originally held in the Demonic Lord of Six Desires' hand suddenly squirmed strangely, instantly splitting apart and turning into countless golden light spots, dissipating in the Demonic Lord of Six Desires' hand.

This cluster of golden light spots was like a golden river flowing toward the Heavenly Demon Wanderer, condensing in front of him and reforming into a golden beast bone. This time, the hand bone closed, with only the index finger curved and extended, pointing at the Demonic Lord of Six Desires.

Wang Lin stared at this scene. He had always felt a trace of strangeness in his heart; the Demonic Lord of Six Desires had so easily and successfully absorbed the Ancient God Desires. Everything seemed too smooth, as if an invisible hand was manipulating it from behind. At the moment the Heavenly Demon Wanderer appeared, Wang Lin suddenly had an epiphany: all of this was clearly pushed forward by the Demonic Lord of Six Desires' Master. Looking at it this way, the other party definitely had a massive goal!

The Demonic Lord of Six Desires' eyes flashed. Ignoring his own spirit which was fighting with the Heavenly Demon Wanderer's desire spirit, he retreated without a word, transformed into a long rainbow, and immediately flew into the distance.

In the previous moment, he suddenly understood the reason why the Vortex collapsed after he had used this hand bone to perform the Hand Seal at the exit of the third barrier to open the Vortex to leave this place.

This hand bone clearly did not fully belong to him but belonged to his Master, the Heavenly Demon Wanderer. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for this person to make the hand bone immediately slip out of his control with a single sentence.

At the moment the hand bone flew away, the connection he had built with the hand bone over a thousand years was instantly severed, which shocked him greatly, and he quickly associated many things.

The Heavenly Demon Wanderer revealed a trace of mockery at the corner of his mouth, not even looking at the Demonic Lord of Six Desires, but calmly continued to speak: "With desire as the sword…"

The six ferocious ghosts fighting with the Heavenly Demon Wanderer's desire spirit immediately shrieked one by one, re-transforming into smoke, merging with each other, and in the blink of an eye, forming an illusory figure.

At the same time, the Demonic Lord of Six Desires, who had transformed into a long rainbow and was speeding away, saw his body silently dissipate. When he condensed again, he was horrified to discover that, for some reason, he had actually returned to the side of the Heavenly Demon Wanderer.

The position where he appeared was exactly within the figure transformed from those six desires; to be precise, the two had already merged together.

"Using this person's entire body's essence blood as a sacrifice…" The Heavenly Demon Wanderer's voice became eerie. As soon as his words fell, the Demonic Lord of Six Desires had not the slightest power to resist, and his body suddenly exploded with a bang, instantly becoming a bloody mess.

Following the Heavenly Demon Wanderer's right-hand summons, drops of blood rapidly floated out from his body, condensing into a blood sphere that floated in mid-air. During this process, the Demonic Lord of Six Desires' entire body was bound by an invisible force, unable to resist at all.

"Using this person's Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection cultivation as the path… using the six types of desires of the Ancient God Tu Si as the medium… to open the Ancient God Divine Sense Land…"

The Heavenly Demon Wanderer's eyes revealed a trace of madness. He had been waiting for this day for 4,000 years!

In fact, the time a thousand years ago was not his first time entering this Ancient God Land; to be precise, it should have been the third time.

The first time, four thousand years ago, he relied on a Magic Treasure in his hand to pass the third barrier, successfully entered the fourth layer, and obtained that hand bone. He discovered that this place possessed unimaginable desire fluctuations. Others only felt uncomfortable in their hearts, but he had originally used various desires as a means of attack and was extremely sensitive to this.

The Heavenly Demon Wanderer could be said to be a peerless Genius. After he noticed this strangeness, he did not immediately try to absorb it but quickly used the hand bone to open a passage and left this Ancient God Land.

After coming out, he began to painstakingly study desires and eventually created the Profound Heaven Demonic Desire Technique. But when he was full of confidence and came to this place a second time, although he still entered the fourth barrier, he discovered that the various desires of this Ancient God were even greater than before. At the same time, he also saw those demonized Cultivators.

Greatly shocked, he hurriedly chose to leave, and after a bitter battle, he managed to escape by luck. It was also that time that he learned some secret news regarding the Ancient God Legacy.

After escaping, that huge temptation constantly made his heart pound. Thus, after deep thought, he came up with a plan to remove the firewood from under the cauldron, and after a thousand years of preparation, this third time occurred.

Including his death, all the way to giving the hand bone to the Demonic Lord of Six Desires, these were all his plans!

In the third barrier, even if Meng Tuozi did not call him out, when the Demonic Lord of Six Desires was in danger, he would have appeared to save him; his goal was to let him enter the fourth barrier.

It can even be said that the purpose of taking the Demonic Lord of Six Desires as a Disciple back then was precisely for this day.

The Demonic Lord of Six Desires' body, with a bang, completely turned into blood mist. As for his Nascent Soul, it was grabbed by the Heavenly Demon Wanderer and instantly transformed into vast Spiritual Qi.

The Heavenly Demon Wanderer's eyes revealed a look of excitement and madness. He joined his hands to form a seal, spat out a mouthful of essence blood, mixed it into that Spiritual Qi, and shouted with a ferocious expression: "Ancient God points the way… Ancient God Fear Desire, go!"

Immediately, the golden hand bone floating in mid-air exploded with a bang, transforming into circles of golden ripples, eventually forming a golden ring of light in the Void Realm.

At the same time, from the blood mist that the Demonic Lord of Six Desires had turned into, a black Dragon immediately crawled out. This black Dragon had a fierce look on its face, roared, and fiercely sucked toward the Spiritual Qi that the Demonic Lord of Six Desires' Nascent Soul had turned into. After absorbing exactly one-sixth of the Spiritual Qi, the black Dragon's entire body immediately flashed with black light as it fiercely crashed into the golden ring of light.

At this moment, it seemed that the entire Ancient God Land trembled. If not for the Restriction that the Heavenly Demon Wanderer had set up ten thousand li away, it would probably have been immediately perceived by those demonized Cultivators in the Ancient God Land.

With a loud boom, the black Dragon seemed to have crashed into an invisible obstacle. Immediately, at the location in the Void Realm where the black Dragon crashed, a continuous stretch of dense Rifts appeared. After the impact, the black Dragon's entire body immediately turned into a puff of white gas and dissipated within this Ancient God Land.

The Ancient God had permanently lost one Fear Desire!

Wang Lin, inside the Heaven Defying space, stared blankly at the scene before him, his heart pounding wildly. A trace of excitement appeared in his eyes. That golden hand bone was actually the bone of an Ancient God, especially since the ring finger of that hand bone was missing half; that half was clearly lying quietly in Wang Lin's Storage Pouch at this moment.

Compared to this, what moved Wang Lin the most was the location where the black Dragon crashed; his gaze flickered as he watched incessantly.

"Ancient God Greed Desire, go!"

In the blood mist, a red Dragon suddenly emerged, riding a violent Aura, and after swallowing one-sixth of the Spiritual Qi, it fiercely crashed toward the same location.

Next, the four desires of Delusion, Joy, Jealousy, and Obsession each transformed into four long Dragons, crashing into the same spot one after another. When the final Obsession Desire Dragon crashed into that Rift which was already on the verge of collapse, the entire Rift suddenly shattered, revealing a passage about several zhang in size.

The Heavenly Demon Wanderer laughed wildly, his right hand reaching inside and grasping, and immediately a light blue circular ice crystal appeared within.

This ice crystal was about ten zhang in size, but the passage was less than three zhang in size.

Wang Lin stared at that passage, hesitated for a moment, and eventually gave up the plan to risk rushing out.

The Heavenly Demon Wanderer formed Hand Seals with both hands, his face showing a cautious expression, and struck a beam of spiritual light onto the ice crystal. But just at this moment, his expression suddenly changed; he could feel that his Restriction had been broken by someone, and someone was rushing here at an extremely fast speed.

He revealed an unwilling expression. The Restriction he had just set up could be said to be the most powerful one he could set up, and it was mixed with many different Restrictions. Even for him, if he wanted to break it, it would require a long time. After all, he had spent so many years preparing; although the interior of the Ancient God was incomparably vast, and it was unlikely that anyone would pass by, to ensure against any contingency, he had still put a lot of effort into this Restriction.

However, this time he had never expected that a Soul Devourer would appear, causing the Master of the Blood Sea to order the dispatch of all demonized Cultivators into the body of the Ancient God to pursue.

As a result, some unexpected changes would inevitably occur, but the arrow was on the bowstring and had to be fired. Furthermore, the Heavenly Demon Wanderer had strong confidence in his Restriction, so he did not change his plan but continued.
