Chapter 1858: Immortal Astral’s tenth sun, Thunder!

Thunder is the ultimate might of Heaven and Earth; it is not one of many, but the only one!

Thunder is heavenly might, vast above the Nine Heavens. When it occasionally descends upon the mortal world, it must unleash earth-shattering roars, those rumbling sounds, like the wrath of Heaven!

Wang Lin's Thunder Origin originated from half a Primordial Thunder Dragon. That half a Primordial Thunder Dragon exercised the right of thunder for Heaven and Earth, serving as the Incarnation of celestial thunder in the mortal world.

Taking this half a Primordial Thunder Dragon as the foundation, Wang Lin gained the sprout of his Origin. Subsequently, after absorbing the Flashing Thunder Clan's Indestructible Thunder, his Origin climbed to just one step away from Peak Major Achievement!

This step was difficult to cross, but Wang Lin found a new path, condensing accompanying thunder himself. Furthermore, he gathered the soul of the Thunder Frog and his own extreme realm thunder, merging them all together, causing his Thunder Origin, at that moment, to infinitely approach Major Achievement!

Afterward, on the Immortal Astral Continent, inside the Scorpion Temple over a hundred years ago, the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master, who possessed a different Thunder Origin, spared no expense, fully dispersing his thunder power into Wang Lin's body, and even swallowed two Thunder Emperor Pearls!

It was through the accumulation of all these factors that the Thunder Origin within Wang Lin underwent earth-shaking changes, condensing into a True Body and becoming the body of the Thunder Origin!

This Thunder True Body possessed a will, but that will mostly belonged to Wang Lin; it was his will contained within!

Even Wang Lin himself never expected that one unintentional action would cause this Thunder Origin True Body to undergo a startling transformation!!

Slaughter Origin is a type of special Origin. The power of this Origin is inherently formless. It is composed of boundless slaughter, and it is not random killing, but one of the special Origins that can only be formed after completing monstrous slaughter driven by a certain conviction.

This type of Slaughter Origin contains an indescribable Evil Qi. This Evil Qi is enough to change the operation of Heaven and Earth, surpassing ordinary Origins considerably, and its power is extremely formidable.

Back then, Qing Shui, with a single thread of Slaughter Origin, could fight against those whose cultivation was deeper than his, proving its strength.

This Slaughter Origin was rarely used by Wang Lin; most of the time, it served as an auxiliary boost to his Aura. But now, the moment it fused into the Thunder Origin True Body, it changed abruptly!

This change was not only beyond Wang Lin's imagination, but such an event has been rare in Heaven and Earth for countless years. The Fusion of thunder and slaughter formed the Slaughter Thunder. This thunder stands above the Nine Heavens, capable of destroying all living beings!

Most importantly, this kind of Slaughter Thunder possesses a mission. The time from its appearance to its end—its entire lifespan—is the process of completing its mission!

In ancient legends, there are rumors of Heaven becoming enraged and exterminating the world with thunder. It is said that in the earliest times, thunder served to punish all beings and destroy all life. Only during world extermination would such Slaughter Thunder appear.

After Wang Lin's Thunder True Body fused with the Slaughter Origin, due to the root nature of the Slaughter Origin requiring slaughter driven by conviction, the Fusion invisibly changed the thunder, causing a streak of Heavenly Wrath Slaughter Thunder to suddenly be born—a thunder that should not have appeared, or rather, could fundamentally never be mastered by a Cultivator!

Wang Lin stared blankly at the Thunder Origin True Body before him. Around this True Body, the naked eye could not see a single trace of thunder or lightning, but within his Divine Sense, he clearly felt an extremely terrifying power of thunder slowly circulating both inside and outside the True Body.

This streak of thunder possessed a power that made Wang Lin's scalp tingle. Once it escaped the True Body's restraint and spread out, its might would be world-shattering and world-exterminating!!

Swallowing deeply, Wang Lin gasped. He vaguely guessed that his unintentional action seemed to have condensed an extremely terrifying streak of thunder.

Once this thunder dispersed, even he himself would be destroyed! This feeling was extremely intense, so intense that Wang Lin felt an urge to immediately stop the Fusion.

He felt a sense of dread, as if this thunder should not exist in this Heaven and Earth!! Or rather, it was far from the time for it to appear!

The thunder slowly rotated around the True Body, emitting faint crackling sounds. This sound was exceptionally clear within the silent Scorpion Temple, causing Wang Lin's pupils to contract, as if the thunder was showing signs of instability during the Fusion.

Furthermore, a wisp of Aura spread out instantly from the Scorpion Temple, directly enveloping the entire Green Devil Continent. All living beings within the Green Devil Continent felt their minds tremble, experiencing the illusion that they were about to be destroyed.

However, this wisp of Aura immediately vanished the moment it left the Green Devil Continent. Everything happened in an instant, impossibly fast, and it did not attract the attention of any Great Heavenly Venerate!

"Once this thunder explodes, this Green Devil Continent…" Wang Lin rarely felt terror, but this time, he was terrified by this streak of thunder he had personally created!

Just as the Slaughter Thunder became unstable, Wang Lin's Thunder Origin True Body began its Fusion with the Restriction Origin. The Restriction Origin is Law, it is rule. During the Fusion, it seemed to transform into a large net, covering the Thunder Origin True Body.

Thunder possesses rules and Laws, but these rules and Laws are bestowed by Heaven and Earth. Yet at this moment, because this Thunder True Body possessed Wang Lin's will, coupled with the existence of the Restriction Origin, Wang Lin's Thunder True Body suddenly shed all constraints of Heaven and Earth, and was completely and utterly changed!

The result of this change was that this thunder gained rules and Laws belonging to Wang Lin. It seemed to neutralize the Slaughter Thunder, perfectly restricting it within the True Body. Slowly, the signs of instability also began to ease.

Within this short period, sweat had already beaded on Wang Lin's forehead. He looked at the Origin True Body before him, feeling as if he were dreaming.

The appearance of the Clone was unchanged from before, standing there peacefully. But to Wang Lin, it was completely different, as if Heaven and Earth had been turned upside down.

This True Body showed no trace of thunder whatsoever. Layers of the fused Restriction Origin permeated its interior and exterior, enveloping the Extermination Slaughter Thunder deep within the True Body!

"Perhaps… it's not meant to destroy a continent…" Wang Lin stared at his Origin True Body and fell silent.

As he remained silent, and as the True Body's Fusion completed, his cultivation, which had already reached the Middle Stage of the empty profound Realm, began to circulate on its own, erupting with a roar. It formed a storm that spread outside his body, rapidly turning into a Vortex.

With every rotation, Wang Lin's cultivation Aura soared dramatically. Not only did it absorb the surrounding power of Heaven and Earth, but it also absorbed the accumulated power originally belonging to the Green Devil Scorpion within his body.

With this power serving as nourishment, Wang Lin's white hair fluttered as if swept by a gale. Roaring sounds echoed within his body, and brilliant light erupted from his contemplative eyes. His cultivation continuously soared, climbed, and rose again, until it reached the Peak. Then, a massive rumble sounded within his mind.

His cultivation suddenly broke through from the Middle Stage of the empty profound Realm, directly entering the Late Stage of the empty profound Realm!!

Late Stage of the empty profound Realm!!

The contemplation in Wang Lin's eyes vanished at this moment, replaced by decisive determination!

The appearance of this Slaughter Thunder exceeded his imagination. He faintly felt his heart racing the moment the thunder appeared. A small part of this dread came from the thunder itself, but the vast majority came from the subsequent changes brought about by its appearance.

No one could sense these changes, not even a Great Heavenly Venerate. Only Wang Lin could, because he created this thunder, and because the Thunder Origin possessed his will and Laws!

No longer pondering the matter, Wang Lin's gaze, now that his cultivation had reached the empty profound Late Stage, turned towards the final three Virtual Origins!

Life and Death, Karma, True and False!

Once these three Virtual Origins fused into one, Wang Lin's nine Origins would instantly become three, and his cultivation would surge again, directly charging from the empty profound Late Stage to empty profound Perfection! He would then undergo the nine Mysterious Tribulations!

Once he breaks through the nine Mysterious Tribulations, he can step into the rank of Great Venerate and become an Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator!!

With his battle strength, if his cultivation reaches the Empty Tribulation Early Stage, he would be fully capable of fighting a Great Perfection Empty Tribulation Cultivator, and might even become the number one person in this Heaven and Earth below the Great Heavenly Venerates!!!

Or rather, become half a Great Heavenly Venerate!!

Such cultivation and such strength would be enough to ensure that there was no place on the Immortal Astral Continent he could not go, and no one who could scheme against or manipulate him at will!

Because he, Wang Lin, will be the tenth strongest on the Immortal Astral Continent!!

While Wang Lin was in the Green Devil Continent's Scorpion Temple, after the second Fusion of his nine Origins into groups of three, looking at the remaining three Virtual Origins—outside the Green Devil Continent, outside the entire East State, outside the entire Immortal Clan… outside the Immortal Astral Continent… If the Immortal Astral Continent were likened to the sky, then beyond the sky, there is a void like a starry sky.

In this void, extremely far from the Immortal Astral Continent, there is a continent of nothingness. This continent cannot compare to Immortal Astral; it is less than one-tenth its size, and there are no signs of life on it, only dead silence.

Within that dead silence, one can see ruins of death scattered across the continent, as if many years ago, there were many living beings here, but they all perished in a single tribulation.

In the very center of this continent, there is an extremely massive ruined city. Inside, a huge statue stands erect. This statue is of a woman, but currently, it has largely collapsed, leaving only half a torso. Sitting cross-legged upon it is a middle-aged man.

This man had an ordinary appearance, but possessed shockingly long hair. His hair hung down, shockingly close to a hundred zhang long, trailing down the largely collapsed statue.

The moment Wang Lin's Thunder Origin True Body fused with the Slaughter Origin and the Slaughter Extermination Thunder was born, this middle-aged man seemed to slowly open his eyes from a slumber of countless years.

In his eyes, there were no pupils, only a void of dead silence.

He raised his head, gazed into the distance, and gradually, a flicker of sharp light passed through his eyes.
