Chapter 1781: The Tenth Sun of Immortal Astral, The Will of the Candle Flame! (Second Update)

It wasn't that the young woman was foolish; in fact, even if it were someone else who had just noticed the change in the Main underground fire vein and entered the stone chamber, seeing a figure wrapped in flames rapidly escaping and diving underground, their first reaction would likely be that this person had a problem.

Naturally, they would give chase, and in doing so, some miscalculations are inevitable, as there are very few perfect people in this world.

Even Wang Lin, encountering the same situation, would likely find it difficult to react instantly and realize that it was a delaying tactic.

It was quite rare for this young woman to perceive it in such a short time. Her decision to abandon the pursuit and head straight for the depths of the earth, as sensed by Wang Lin, turned into a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.

This Main underground fire vein is now filled with two wills: one belongs to the Main Dragon Soul of the underground fire, and the other is its Origin True Body.

"Now, it's my turn to act!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He absolutely would not allow anyone to disturb his Origin True Body's absorption. This absorption was extremely significant to him; it was a change in Origin, especially for him, a person who came from the Immortal Cave Realm to the Immortal Astral Continent. This change would greatly increase his strength!

His body swayed, ripples swirling under his feet, and he vanished in an instant.

The young woman moved rapidly, her body covered by a ghostly face, her speed extremely fast. As she was moving forward, her heart suddenly stirred inexplicably, and without thinking, she abruptly dodged to the side. With this dodge, a bloody light whistled past her body, piercing into the ghostly face, brushing past her body, and flashing with a roar, landing on the Main underground fire vein in front of her, creating a thunderous explosion. It was a Blood Sword!

This Blood Sword emanated a monstrous Evil Qi, and faintly within it, there was even a trace of the Dao Ancient Lineage's Qi!

The moment she saw the Blood Sword, the young woman's expression suddenly changed drastically!

"The Blood Fiend Sword, one of the Seven Dao Ancient Swords! You are not a Cultivator!!" The young woman sharply turned around, only to see the Blood Sword flash again, appearing where her gaze landed. Ripples echoed there, and Wang Lin's figure stepped out.

"Blood Fiend Sword…" Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He had obtained the Legacy of Yemo, but due to a missing left eye, his memory was incomplete. Regarding the Origin of this Blood Sword, he only knew that it was bestowed upon Yemo by the Dao Ancient Royal Venerate, but he did not know its specific name.

After appearing, Wang Lin said nothing, but raised his right hand and pointed upwards. Immediately, bursts of seven-colored light whistled up from within this Main underground fire vein, approaching in an instant and forming a Seven-Colored Long Spear in front of him.

This spear whistled, heading straight for the young woman.

The young woman snorted coldly, raised her right hand, and casually waved it forward. Immediately, the ghostly face outside her body let out an earth-shattering roar, rushing out directly to devour the Seven-Colored Long Spear.

Almost in an instant, the two sides clashed. The Seven-Colored Long Spear had no power to resist at all; it was directly swallowed by the huge ghostly face, which then charged towards Wang Lin.

The young woman's eyes flashed with killing intent, and she stepped forward, following the ghostly face directly towards Wang Lin.

"Since you've personally delivered yourself, then stay!" A cold voice permeated this Main underground fire vein, reaching Wang Lin's ears.

Wang Lin retreated, flicking his large sleeve, and immediately, Xuan Luo's Golden Seal whistled out, suppressing the ghostly face.

The powerful aura emanating from the Golden Seal, which also contained a trace of Xuan Luo's power, instantly approached the ghostly face. With a loud bang, the ghostly face let out a mournful scream, then vanished into thin air before Wang Lin's eyes.

Golden light shone for ten thousand feet, and the Golden Seal rushed towards the young woman. The moment she saw the Golden Seal, the young woman gasped, her pupils contracted sharply, and her body abruptly stopped.

At the same time, Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and his body rapidly retreated, disappearing into the Main underground fire vein behind him. Simultaneously, the golden light dimmed, and the Golden Seal within it stopped moving, vanishing without a trace along with the Blood Sword.

"Do not pursue further. I bear no ill will towards the Great Soul Gate; I merely wish to Cultivate a Divine Ability and require the use of this Main underground fire vein!" Wang Lin's voice, after his departure, echoed throughout the surroundings, entering the young woman's mind.

The young woman stood there, falling silent.

In that instant, she had felt the terrifying aura of a Great Heavenly Venerate emanating from the Golden Seal, an aura that made her think of many things.

After a long while, a cold glint reappeared in the young woman's eyes.

"So what if he has a Magic Treasure bestowed by a Great Heavenly Venerate! This person has that Blood Sword, clearly belonging to the Dao Ancient Lineage, so the identity of the Great Heavenly Venerate who bestowed the Magic Treasure is obvious!

Even if a Great Heavenly Venerate of an Ancient Kingdom is equally powerful, they cannot control my Immortal Clan! Even if my judgment is wrong and this person is backed by an Immortal Clan Great Heavenly Venerate, he intends to use my Great Soul Gate's Main underground fire vein, so it's only natural for me to pursue him. I am in the right in this matter, and I'm not trying to kill him, just to stop him… Even a Great Heavenly Venerate cannot be so unreasonable!" The young woman murmured, then suddenly looked up and once again rushed towards the depths of the Main underground fire vein.

This woman has an extremely fierce personality, and her ability to reach such a level of cultivation is largely due to her character; she rarely gives up easily. Although she was shaken by the Golden Seal just now, she quickly made up her mind.

In this regard, she was far superior to Du Qing.

At another location in the Main underground fire vein, Wang Lin, relying on the will of his Origin True Body there, sensed the young woman's actions and sighed inwardly.

"Cultivators who have truly stepped into the Empty Tribulation Realm are all resolute individuals; a Magic Treasure condensed from a Great Heavenly Venerate's Divine Ability is not enough to easily make them retreat… So be it. Since she won't retreat, let's see whose speed is faster!" Wang Lin's eyes showed determination, and his body flickered, vanishing without a trace.

Deep within the Main underground fire vein, inside the head of the Main Dragon Soul, Wang Lin's Origin True Body continued to absorb and devour. The Dragon Soul's roars and struggles seemed to have weakened considerably. Wang Lin's true body in its head still had Vermilion Bird feathers for hair, but now, black had begun to appear from the roots of his hair.

This black seemed to be surrounded by dark light, slowly spreading. Once it completely spread, this Origin True Body would be fully and completely condensed!

Time slowly passed. Wang Lin's Origin True Body had completely ignored external dangers, with all his mind immersed in the absorption and devouring. He was racing against time for survival. If the young woman arrived before he had fully condensed his true body, Wang Lin would completely fail this time, and all his efforts would be in vain.

It would be extremely difficult to find such an opportunity again!

His true self appeared before the young woman repeatedly, preventing her from advancing and using various Divine Abilities, but after several attempts, the young woman completely ignored him, rushing with all her might towards the depths of the Main underground fire vein.

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed, and the young woman was getting closer and closer… The Main Dragon Soul, where Wang Lin's Origin True Body resided, had already weakened to a certain extent. Its roars gradually decreased, and the twisting of its body seemed to slowly calm down.

However, all of this was an external manifestation. In the Dragon Soul's eyes, a dazzling light suddenly gathered. It abruptly raised its head and let out its strongest roar, and its seemingly calm body began to vibrate again.

As it roared, the massive Main Dragon Soul's body erupted with ten thousand feet of fire, instantly releasing a vast sea of fire, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, it rapidly contracted.

From its boundless size, it instantly shrank to ten thousand feet, a thousand feet, a hundred feet, ten feet!

At the cost of contracting and compressing its body, this Main Dragon Soul unleashed its most intense resistance. Its body instantly shrank to ten feet, five feet, three feet, one foot!

Under this frantic contraction, its willpower also condensed and compressed, finally, at one foot, it once again violently compressed, astonishingly transforming into a fist-sized ball of fiery light!

As Wang Lin's true body was forcibly squeezed out during the contraction of the Dragon Soul's body, that fist-sized ball of fiery light, carrying the Dragon Soul's final madness, whistled directly towards the center of Wang Lin's true body's eyebrows.

With a loud boom, the ball of light struck the center of Wang Lin's true body's eyebrows, fusing with it and rushing into the true body!

The moment this ball of light entered Wang Lin's Origin True Body, Wang Lin's Divine Sense immediately roared, as if he had become a Mortal, struggling on a lone boat in a raging sea.

An extremely powerful will descended, seemingly wanting to obliterate Wang Lin's Divine Sense, seemingly wanting to occupy this Origin True Body of his. This will was precisely the will of the Underground Fire Dragon Soul. It abandoned its own body, transforming into this fist-sized ball of light. This final madness was akin to a Possession, seeking to obtain Wang Lin's Origin True Body!

To make this true body the vessel for its will!

This will was extremely formidable, descending into Wang Lin's Divine Sense, seemingly transforming into a large hand trying to crush him. Within that will existed a struggle and an unyielding spirit, and even faint roars directed at the heavens, as if challenging the world.

In a blur, Wang Lin seemed to see light and feel heat. The combination of this light and heat transformed into the fire of heaven and earth!

The will within this fire, carrying the intent to burn everything, even itself, with a hint of madness and an indescribable Heaven-Defying intent, raged fiercely in this world.

It wanted to burn Wang Lin's Divine Sense, to incinerate everything he possessed into ashes!

"Fire! The Origin of Fire that I, Wang Lin, comprehended did not come from the Vermilion Bird, but from the heart of the candle flame. That candle flame sways in the wind, and within it is fire!

The wind howls, trying to extinguish the candle flame. The candle flame is tiny, seemingly capable of dying at any moment, turning into a wisp of smoke rising into the sky. But every time the wind comes, the candle flame resists, swaying violently. It is unwilling to die, unwilling to turn into smoke!

The Origin of Fire that I, Wang Lin, comprehended is this will! It is the Will of the Candle Flame!! It is also the will of my Dao cultivation! And it is the will of my entire life, struggling against the heavens!

My will, do you dare to obliterate it? Can you obliterate it?" Wang Lin's Origin True Body suddenly opened its eyes, flames filling them. He let out a roar, and the Divine Sense within his body struggled and remained unyielding under the will of the fire Dragon Soul!

Like a candle, like a candle flame!
