Chapter 1848: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, Erasing Consciousness with Lightning

Several months later, at the center of Green Devil Continent, lay a verdant swamp. Bubbles frequently emerged from within, emitting a putrid stench. The area was enveloped in a green mist, which was precisely formed from the bursting bubbles, accumulating day and night, year after year.

Within this area, spanning millions of square miles, stood a towering structure that, from a distance, resembled a colossal scorpion!

The scorpion was tens of thousands of feet in size, entirely black, and lay prostrate on the swamp, appearing lifelike! A monstrous Devilish Qi emanated from within, shrouding the surroundings, preventing most Cultivators from approaching. Otherwise, they would surely be corrupted by the Devilish Qi, their minds driven to madness.

Apart from the Sect Master, all Cultivators of the Dao Demon Sect had returned to the Dao Demon Sect mountain gate within these few months. Only the Sect Master, who had captured Wang Lin, now flickered and arrived outside the Green Devil Scorpion Temple.

With his cultivation, he could approach this place without being affected by the Devilish Qi.

At this moment, beside the enormous scorpion structure, the Dao Demon Sect Master's figure materialized. The instant he appeared, a weak cough echoed from the mouth of the giant scorpion below.

In the silent surroundings, these few coughs, though weak, were remarkably clear.

As the sound of coughing gradually drew closer, three figures slowly emerged from the scorpion's mouth.

Among these three figures, the two behind wore green Daoist robes emblazoned with a fierce scorpion. They appeared to be middle-aged, yet exuded a cultivation of the Empty Tribulation Realm Middle Stage, their expressions cold, as if devoid of emotion.

They now acted like guards, protecting the figure in front, whose entire body was covered by a green robe. This figure seemed extremely ancient, and was hunched over, coughing as he walked out.

"Have you brought him back…?" The ancient figure stopped, coughing, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

The Dao Demon Sect Master was extremely courteous to the old man whose entire body was hidden within the green robe. He cupped his fists, nodded, and spoke.

"He has been brought. Please see, Sacrificer."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and waved it. Immediately, a figure shrouded in black and white Qi appeared before him. Within that figure, Wang Lin sat cross-legged, eyes tightly closed, unmoving.

"Very good, he should be very suitable for suppressing the Luck of our Green Devil Continent, making Lord Green Devil satisfied…" The old man raised his head. His face was indistinguishable, but through the green robe, his eerie eyes could be seen. After glancing at Wang Lin, a look of satisfaction appeared.

"To capture him, our Dao Demon Sect paid a great price," the Dao Demon Sect Master said slowly.

"After Lord Green Devil revives, the rewards promised to you will not be lacking! However, to suppress this person, your Dao Demon Great Law's help is still needed. You know what to do: erase his consciousness, destroy his mind and memories!" The old man's hoarse words revealed a fanaticism as he gazed at Wang Lin.

"This person's will is extremely firm. It won't be easy to erase his consciousness and destroy his memories and mind…" The Dao Demon Sect Master smiled faintly, not acting immediately.

"Cough… In the future, the Green Devil Continent will have only one sect, the Dao Demon Sect!" The old man, completely enveloped in the green robe, coughed violently. After a long while, he slowly spoke.

"Good, since the Sacrificer has spoken, this Sect will naturally use the Dao Demon Great Law with all its might to plant the Dao Demon Transformation deep in his heart, making him destroy his own mind!" The Dao Demon Sect Master laughed heartily, no longer hesitating. His right fingertip pierced through the light cluster and touched Wang Lin's glabella, then he grabbed the black and white light cluster encompassing Wang Lin and abruptly flung it towards the enormous scorpion structure below.

A heaven-shaking roar erupted, and Wang Lin, with his eyes closed, was instantly thrown towards the giant scorpion. The moment he landed, a huge Vortex immediately appeared on the scorpion's back, sucking Wang Lin's Physical Body inside.

"He possesses many Origins, eight of them, and one of them has already condensed into an Origin True Body! Among his eight Origins, one is similar to mine, and that is the Thunder Origin!

I will use this Thunder Origin as the point of connection to make him destroy his own mind and memories!" As the Dao Demon Sect Master spoke, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.

The green-robed old man at the scorpion's mouth turned and walked into the scorpion's mouth, coughing. Slowly, the sound of his coughing faded into the distance. The two Green Devil Emissaries, like guards behind him, had not uttered a single word from beginning to end, and followed him into the scorpion's body, disappearing from sight.

In the deepest part of this scorpion structure, within a void space, endless green light permeated. If one looked closely at each ray of light, one could see a large number of green scorpion Souls, gathered in this space, continuously emitting roars of their Souls.

Wang Lin's body sat cross-legged in this green space, unmoving, but countless green scorpions slowly gathered on his body, covering most of his Physical Body.

His Physical Body was still, but within his right eye, a faint lightning glow appeared, and at this moment, a surge of Origin power surged wildly within his body. This Origin was Wang Lin's Thunder Origin!

As this Thunder Origin surged, Wang Lin's body slowly emitted crackling sounds, and from time to time, arcs of electricity spread out from within his body, covering his entire being.

At this moment, Wang Lin had fallen into a coma. His mind, his consciousness, his Soul, all became dormant, without any activity. However, what outsiders could not see, what even the Sacrificer and the Dao Demon Sect Master could not see, was a bead slowly rotating within Wang Lin's Soul.

Every time it rotated, Wang Lin's Soul, mind, and his memories, consciousness, and other ethereal things would tremble slightly, protected by a soft light.

It was as if he and his Physical Body were now two separate parts. In this strange state, the Thunder Origin within his Physical Body grew increasingly powerful. This level of power soon surpassed his other Origins. Although still inferior to the Fire Origin that had condensed into a True Body, the gap between them was rapidly closing.

It was as if an invisible channel had appeared within Wang Lin's body, directly connecting to the body of the Dao Demon Sect Master, who was sitting cross-legged outside, merging with his Thunder Origin that had reached Major Achievement but had not yet condensed into a True Body.

Slowly, as time passed, several months flew by in a flash.

During these months, Wang Lin's Thunder Origin grew even stronger. The rumbling within his body was continuous, as it frantically absorbed the Thunder Origin, imbued with the Dao Demon Sect Master's will, that came through the channel.

After several months, the Dao Demon Sect Master outside the giant scorpion structure gradually frowned. He had never expected that Wang Lin's Thunder Origin would absorb so much of his own identical Origin without completing the condensation of his will.

Originally, he had thought that within just one month, his Thunder Origin would completely replace the opponent's identical Origin. Since that Origin contained his own will, he could use this method to initiate the erasure from within Wang Lin's body, thus perfectly making Wang Lin lose his mind, memories, and other consciousness without affecting the Sacrificer's requirements.

If not for the Sacrificer's specific demands, the Dao Demon Sect Master would have countless ways to instantly erase Wang Lin's mind. However, that would be too forceful and cause damage, even the slightest trace of which would affect the Green Devil Scorpion's revival in the future.

"Sacrificer, I need your help. Otherwise, under your requirements, it will be very difficult to achieve this," the cross-legged Dao Demon Sect Master could not help but speak out on a certain day in the fourth month.

He somewhat helplessly discovered that almost all of his Thunder Origin had now surged into Wang Lin's body, yet it had still not completely replaced Wang Lin's Origin or condensed his own complete will.

This matter was very strange, as if there was a Vortex within Wang Lin's body, absorbing his will. The truth was indeed as the Dao Demon Sect Master had guessed: within Wang Lin's body, every rotation of the Heaven Defying Bead, while protecting Wang Lin's Soul, would absorb any non-Wang Lin will that appeared within his body.

"Here… cough…" The old, hoarse voice came from within the scorpion. Before he could finish speaking, he coughed violently. After a long while, the voice continued to echo.

"I have… two more Thunder Emperor Beads obtained from Thunder Emperor Continent… they were originally meant to be offered to Lord Green Devil for absorption after his revival… I'll give you one…" As the voice spoke, the heavens and earth rumbled, and a grey lightning bolt flashed out from within the scorpion, heading straight for the Dao Demon Sect Master.

It instantly drew near, transforming into a fist-sized bead before him. Within the bead were countless lightning bolts, and faintly visible within the lightning was a phantom of a war chariot, with a blurry figure standing on it, appearing like an Emperor of Thunder!

Even with the Dao Demon Sect Master's cultivation and knowledge, upon seeing this bead, his heart pounded, and a strange light appeared in his eyes. He seemed to struggle, but quickly suppressed the thoughts in his heart. This item was originally meant to be offered to the revived Green Devil Scorpion, not something he could touch. Now, if not to clear Wang Lin's consciousness and memories, the Sacrificer would probably never have brought it out.

The Dao Demon Sect Master no longer hesitated. He opened his mouth and fiercely inhaled. The Thunder Emperor Bead immediately transformed into countless interconnected lightning bolts, heading straight for his mouth. The moment he swallowed it, the Thunder Origin within his body surged dramatically, but before he could retain some of it, it was all frantically sucked away through the channel connecting him to Wang Lin's body via the Dao Demon Great Law.

Deep within the scorpion's body, in the green space, Wang Lin's body suddenly trembled violently. His Thunder Origin, at this instant, surged explosively, showing signs of condensing into a Thunder True Body!!
