Chapter 1850: Immortal Astral’s tenth sun—Everyone Has Their Own Schemes!

The Lightning Origin True Body, identical to his own, looked down at Wang Lin indifferently from above. Its entire body emitted rumbling sounds of thunder that echoed throughout the space. Suddenly, the Lightning Origin True Body moved, raising its right hand and slamming it down toward Wang Lin. Amidst the thunderous roar, countless flashes of lightning appeared, rapidly descending to suppress Wang Lin.

Wang Lin sat cross-legged, watching his Origin True Body ruthlessly suppressing him from above. His expression was extremely grim. Upon waking up at this moment, the image of the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master immediately flashed in his mind.

Especially the formation of this Lightning Origin True Body and the sudden change now, it must be directly related to the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master. Wang Lin could even faintly sense the aura of the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master on this Origin True Body!

"Capturing me… but neither killing nor harming me… instead, seizing my lightning, helping me condense a True Body, and then using this Lightning Origin True Body to suppress me… Its purpose… is not suppression, but to enter my body with this True Body, causing chaos in my consciousness and mind, grinding them away completely!!"

Wang Lin's eyes flickered. In this short period, thousands of thoughts raced through his mind. He had calculated this current scene years ago. Although it was only a partial glimpse, it had greatly shocked him. To prevent himself from being helpless when this scene occurred, Wang Lin had already devised a corresponding method back then!

Almost the moment the Lightning Origin True Body suppressed him, Wang Lin took a deep breath. The Primordial Spirit inside him suddenly closed its eyes and called for the Heaven Defying to appear within his Soul.

The Heaven Defying Bead, condensed within his Soul, suddenly began to rotate. With this rotation, Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit, his Soul memories, and everything else immediately contracted the moment the lightning blasted into his body.

Meeting change with constancy, he temporarily retreated, leaving his Physical Body for the Lightning Origin to integrate into. Once this True Body was fully integrated, that would be the time for Wang Lin's counterattack.

This was the only method Wang Lin had conceived back then when he couldn't figure out why the Lightning True Body was acting this way.

Within this green space, amidst the booming thunder, countless flashes of lightning spread out from the Lightning Origin True Body. Finally, as the True Body approached, its entire form suddenly disintegrated, transforming into even more lightning bolts that frantically drilled into Wang Lin's body. Inside his body, under the will of the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master, they swept through, intent on erasing Wang Lin's consciousness, mind, and everything else.

Time flowed by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, the lightning across Wang Lin's body gradually disappeared until it was completely gone. He sat there cross-legged, motionless, without the slightest fluctuation of Soul or cultivation aura. Even his life force was nearly extinguished, like a living dead man.

A powerful Divine Sense whistled in from outside. After carefully sweeping over Wang Lin's body, it slowly departed.

At the same time, the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master outside the Scorpion Building opened his slightly tired eyes. After glancing at the Scorpion Temple, his voice slowly echoed out.

"Sacrificer, his consciousness, mind, and memories have all been erased. His body is empty now. You may check him. If you are satisfied, this Sect Master will depart."

As the words of the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master spread, a sound of coughing came from within the green space. A figure, an old man completely shrouded in a green robe, walked in with weak steps, arriving here by unknown means. He stood in front of Wang Lin, with the two Green Devil Emissaries closely guarding him from behind.

Looking at Wang Lin, the elder whose face was covered revealed a satisfied smile hidden beneath the corner of his mouth inside the robe. He raised his right hand, extending it from outside the robe, and pressed it onto Wang Lin's heavenly spirit.

His right arm was terrifying, covered in green hair. It looked shocking and did not resemble a human arm!

The moment his right hand pressed down on Wang Lin, Wang Lin's mind, protected by the functioning Heaven Defying and undetectable by anyone, suddenly showed a slight fluctuation. However, due to the protection of the Heaven Defying, outsiders still could not sense this fluctuation.

"The Dao Demon Sect Sect Master hasn't left yet… Now is not the time to resist… Wait a little longer!" The fluctuation in Wang Lin's mind slowly subsided.

After a long time, the arm lifted from Wang Lin's heavenly spirit. Immediately afterward, a hoarse voice slowly emerged from the Green Robed Elder's mouth.

"You may leave. After Lord Green Devil is resurrected, the promises made to you will not be lacking!"

Outside the Scorpion Building, the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master's eyes flashed with a strange light. He stood up, took one last look at the Scorpion Temple, and his body flickered, turning into a long rainbow that instantly vanished, leaving the area.

It wasn't until the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master had left that the Green Robed Elder in the green space inside the Scorpion Temple looked at Wang Lin, his eyes filled with excitement and agitation.

"My clan has waited for a very long time… generation after generation becoming Sacrificers using Mortal bodies. After countless millennia, we have finally awaited a Body from Outside the Heavens, just like Lord Green Devil!

Only a body like this can become the catalyst for Lord Green Devil's resurrection!! However, within this person's body, his Lightning Origin still needs to have the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master's memory erased…" The elder gazed excitedly at Wang Lin, muttering to himself, his voice echoing through the green space with an air of strangeness and madness.

Wang Lin's mind was hidden under the protection of the Heaven Defying. He made no rash moves, but he faintly had a feeling that this current crisis was not a Life-and-Death Tribulation for him, but rather an enormous opportunity that made his heart pound!!

The Green Robed Elder's body trembled. His clan, generation after generation, had waited tens of thousands of years for this day. Taking a deep breath, he raised his right hand and bit his fingertip. A drop of green blood suddenly flew out, heading straight for Wang Lin, landing on his glabella.

The moment the green blood landed on Wang Lin's glabella, a sheet of green ripples immediately echoed within Wang Lin's body. Wherever the ripples passed, the will of the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master—whether forgotten or deliberately left—that existed on the Lightning Origin permeating Wang Lin's body instantly vanished, disappearing completely.

The True Body formed by the Lightning Origin within Wang Lin's body now lacked any trace of another person's will. With just a thought from Wang Lin's mind, he could effortlessly take control. But for the sake of that greater opportunity, he forcibly suppressed this impulse and temptation.

After a long time, the Green Robed Elder's eyes showed a look of wisdom. His previous words did not need to be spoken in front of Wang Lin; all of it was a test!

A person who could become the Sacrificer of the Green Devil Scorpion Temple using a Mortal body possessed extremely high intelligence. Even if they saw something with their own eyes, they wouldn't easily believe it; there had to be a test.

He first pointed it out with words, and then even took action to erase the will of the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master from the Lightning Origin, using this as bait to see if Wang Lin's consciousness and mind had truly completely dissipated.

After waiting for a long time, and the Lightning Origin inside Wang Lin still failed to lure out Wang Lin's mind, the elder felt slightly relieved. Although he couldn't detect the presence of the Heaven Defying inside Wang Lin, he still murmured to himself.

"This body is quite good. Next, it will undergo Lord Green Devil's Possession…" As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, and he slowly retreated. The moment he reached several dozen zhang away, he suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Green Devil Guards, kill him!! His mind is still present! Activate the Green Devil Grand Array! He absolutely cannot be allowed to escape!" The moment he spoke, his body rapidly retreated, but his eyes were fixed intently on Wang Lin's body, revealing a strange look.

The moment he roared, the two Green Devil Emissaries beside him suddenly revealed fierce, malevolent gleams in their eyes. Their bodies flashed, rushing toward Wang Lin from both the left and right directions. Their speed was instantaneous. Moreover, as they performed Hand Seals, the powerful Divine Ability unleashed by their Middle Stage Empty Tribulation Realm cultivation transformed into two massive Green Devil Scorpions, which charged toward Wang Lin with roars and ferocity.

Judging by their appearance, this was definitely not a test; they genuinely intended to blast Wang Lin to death here. At this moment, Wang Lin seemed to face only one choice: spread his mind, integrate into the Lightning Origin within his body, leave his own will behind, and then quickly transform into the Heavenly Ox Soul Armor, kill the three people, and rapidly flee this place.

The Green Robed Elder's words were extremely sudden. If it were anyone else, they would likely have acted immediately, but Wang Lin, the instant his mind stirred, suddenly calmed down, remaining motionless like an ancient well without ripples.

He absolutely did not believe the opponent could detect the Heaven Defying. This was a battle of calculation!

In this instant, the Divine Abilities of the two Green Devil Emissaries were already less than seven inches from Wang Lin. His Physical Body remained still: six inches, five inches, three inches, one inch!!

A powerful sense of Life-and-Death Crisis frantically permeated Wang Lin's mind. Even with his self-control, he couldn't help but waver at this moment, but still, he remained motionless!

With a boom, the Divine Abilities from the left and right of the two Green Devil Emissaries landed completely on Wang Lin's body. But the moment they struck, a layer of green ripples echoed outside Wang Lin's body, gently neutralizing the Divine Abilities of the two Green Devil Emissaries and bouncing them away.

These green ripples were formed by the blood the Sacrificer had just squeezed out. That blood not only dispersed the will of the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master but also seemingly vanished while actually remaining there, becoming the crucial element in the Sacrificer's test!!

Only at this moment did the Green Robed Elder completely relax. He let out a hoarse laugh, but as he laughed, he began to cough violently.

"There is no problem. This body truly lacks consciousness and mind. However… its cultivation is still too weak… it needs to be nurtured a bit before it can withstand the descent of Lord Green Devil…"

"He has eight Origins, lacking Earth… and Lord Green Devil's Origin is the Origin of Earth… it needs to be added…"

"This body has eight Origins; adding the Origin of Earth makes nine… Once the Nine Origins unify, it will be an Origin Body, perfectly suited for Lord Green Devil's descent. When Lord Green Devil performs Possession and resurrects, my clan will have completed its mission and can return to Central State to report back, bringing blessings to our descendants…"

"This matter is too great; I still need to make preparations…"

The elder slowly walked away while coughing.

The climax is about to begin. Er Gen also needs to prepare and properly conceive the subsequent series of plots. There is only one chapter today; I will make up for it tomorrow!
