Chapter 1859: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, Observing the Mysterious Tribulation from a Tower

"I awoke one kalpa early…" The middle-aged man gazed into the distance, murmuring to himself for a long time. After a while, he lowered his head, his eyes sweeping over the ruins. He spread his Divine Sense, and the moment it unfurled, its immense power instantly enveloped every inch of this entire ruined continent.

He vaguely remembered that a very, very long time ago, he came here, destroyed everything, killed all living beings, absorbed the Death Qi of this place, and immersed himself in seclusion.

According to his calculations, he should have awakened after five kalpas, but now, he had awakened one kalpa early.

"It was the direction from there that sent a tremor deep into my Soul, causing me to awaken early… That is the Aura of a fellow kind… Could it be that a useful kind has been born…?" The man fell silent.

In his long memory, he seemed to have some vague thoughts about the direction from which that Aura came.

"That place should be where the Guardian lineage resides…" The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up. The instant he rose, a faint light flickered around him, transforming into a black robe. The robe covered his face, with only his striking long hair piercing through the robe in a special way, hanging down deeply.

He swayed and walked towards the sky, his long hair fluttering behind him. From afar, it looked like a black Dragon. As he gradually ascended, a faint black Dragon phantom truly coiled around his body, as if the man had transformed into a heaven-shaking black Dragon, soaring towards the end of the sky. His direction was the Immortal Astral Continent, which was extremely far from here!

Even at his speed, it would take hundreds of years to reach the Immortal Astral Continent!

Leaving aside this black Dragon man for now, within the Green Devil Continent of the Immortal Astral Continent's Immortal Race, deep within the Scorpion Temple, Wang Lin gazed at the three illusory Origins before him. He raised his hands, performed Hand Seals, and then abruptly pointed forward.

With this one finger, the three illusory Origins immediately converged and slowly began to fuse. These three Origins were not obtained by Wang Lin through external forces, but rather were born from within his body, from his Concept.

The three Origins germinated in the first Mortal Transformation, condensed in the second Mortal Transformation, and achieved Major Achievement in the third Mortal Transformation!

Life and Death, Karma, and True and False, corresponded to each other, transforming as they slowly fused before Wang Lin.

In Life and Death, Wang Lin saw the Vermilion Bird Star and three generations of Big Ox.

In Karma, Wang Lin saw Liu Mei, saw Wang Ping, and saw scenes of himself as a father.

In True and False, he saw Su Dao, saw a dream of sixty years, and saw many familiar events and faces.

For Wang Lin, these three illusory Origins were no longer just Origins, but his entire life of hardships and his entire Heaven-Defying journey!

"I left the mortal realm with the Concept of Life and Death, understood the Dao with the Concept of Karma, and gained enlightenment with the Concept of True and False.

In Life and Death, my confused thoughts gave rise to Karma. Within that Karma, I continuously verified my Dao… ultimately transforming into True and False, and within that True and False, finding the whereabouts of the Dao… After Life and Death is Karma, after Karma is True and False, and after True and False… is… entering the Dao!

The Fusion of the three illusory Origins is not difficult. They were born because of me, condensed because of me, and because of me… they fuse into the Dao!" As Wang Lin murmured, he raised his right hand and waved it before him. With this wave, the three illusory Origins before him immediately began to spin rapidly, fusing extensively with each other.

During this Fusion, Wang Lin stared blankly at the Origins. In them, he saw his entire life, from the moment of his birth until now.

He saw himself kneeling before his parents' graves, crying and roaring in tears.

He saw himself holding Li Muwan's body, roaring at the sky, and the tears that fell from Li Muwan's eyes as they closed, landing on the ground.

He vaguely seemed to see that a year later, a dream flower bloomed on the ground where those tears had fallen.

He saw the mouthful of fresh blood he spat out, heartbroken and in pain, after learning that Liu Mei had a child and looking at that child filled with resentment.

He saw Li Qianmei, her ten years of blood-stained tears on the stone statue he had transformed into, and afterwards, the words of strangers, one after another, "Do you know…?"

"My life…" Wang Lin sighed softly. His appearance seemed to have aged amidst the Fusion of these three illusory Origins.

Time flowed by. As Wang Lin stared intently, recounting his memories, the three illusory Origins silently and completely fused together.

The Fusion of the three Origins, after becoming one, formed a thread filled with Wang Lin's memories, forming a ring that floated towards Wang Lin and imprinted itself on his forehead.

The instant this ring imprinted, the reminiscence in Wang Lin's eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by a sharp gleam.

Within this gleam, Wang Lin's internal cultivation Aura surged again. His cultivation had already reached the empty profound Late Stage, and now, with this surge, all the Heaven and Earth Power accumulated within him, belonging to the Green Devil Scorpion, was completely absorbed by him!

Even the majority of the Soul body that Wang Lin had devoured after the Green Devil Scorpion's sub-Soul Possession failed was now rapidly absorbed by Wang Lin's surging Primordial Spirit.

But merely this was not enough. This Heaven and Earth Power could only allow Wang Lin's cultivation, amidst its booming ascent, to infinitely approach empty profound Perfection!

But he could not Breakthrough, could not step into the Mysterious Tribulation Realm, to face the descent of the nine Mysterious Tribulations!

He still needed more Heaven and Earth Power!

With a flash of sharp light in his eyes, Wang Lin, without hesitation, opened his mouth and suddenly inhaled. With this inhale, Heaven and Earth Power surged into and out of this enormous Scorpion Temple. Even the surrounding mist was pulled in, forming a massive Vortex, creating a celestial phenomenon that continuously condensed within the Green Devil Continent!

This change immediately drew the attention of all the Cultivators present on the Green Devil Continent. The battle between the Green Devil Continent and the Tianniu Continent was now nearing its end. After a large number of Cultivators had died, there were not many Cultivators left on the Green Devil Continent!

However, the majority of these few Cultivators were those with profound cultivation!

Especially the Dao Demon Sect; although many of its Disciples had died over the past hundred years, nearly 30% of its members still remained. However, the Dao Demon Sect Sect Master had chosen to go into seclusion over a hundred years ago and had not emerged since.

Now, the changes occurring in the Green Devil Scorpion Temple in the center of the Green Devil Continent caused Cultivators in various Sects across the Green Devil Continent to faintly sense something.

Those who could sense it mostly knew or had heard rumors of the Green Devil's revival. At this moment, more than ten long rainbows soared from various locations on the Green Devil Continent, heading straight for the Green Devil Temple. Within the Dao Demon Sect, two long rainbows also flew out, rushing towards the Green Devil Temple to witness the Green Devil Scorpion's revival!

The celestial phenomenon around the Green Devil Scorpion Temple lasted for several months. During these months, a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Power surged madly towards it. The Cultivators of the Green Devil Continent who came to the vicinity dared not approach, but instead observed from a distance, retreating as the range of the celestial phenomenon expanded.

Such a large amount of Heaven and Earth Power, gathered over these months, all surged into Wang Lin's body deep within the Scorpion Temple. He rapidly absorbed it, and his cultivation Aura grew increasingly powerful, continuously climbing over these months. On a certain day after these months, this cultivation Aura erupted, and a rumble echoed within Wang Lin's body.

In that rumble, his cultivation directly ascended from the empty profound Late Stage to the empty profound Peak Perfection!!

This cultivation fluctuation was hidden beneath the swirling Heaven and Earth Power. Furthermore, the surrounding Green Devil Continent Cultivators dared not spread their Divine Sense to observe, fearing that it would affect the Green Devil Scorpion's revival and that they would be unable to withstand the Green Devil's wrath. Therefore, no one had noticed until now.

The moment Wang Lin's cultivation ascended to the empty profound Peak, he opened his eyes, revealing a terrifying cold light. He raised his right hand and waved it forward, and immediately, the Five Elements True Body flickered and directly merged into his body.

The instant the Five Elements True Body fused, Wang Lin's cultivation within his body increased several times over!

Immediately after, he waved his right hand again, and the terrifying Thunder Origin True Body took a step and instantly overlapped with Wang Lin's body, merging into Wang Lin's body amidst crackling thunder and lightning, becoming a part of him.

The moment the Thunder True Body returned to his body, Wang Lin exuded a heaven-shaking Aura. He felt his own power; at this moment, even without wearing the Heavenly Ox Soul Armor, he could fight against an Empty Tribulation Realm Late Stage Cultivator!

This was without even using the Slaughter Thunder. If he were to use that terrifying Slaughter Thunder at all costs, Wang Lin himself wouldn't know how destructive its power would be… That thunder was something he had inadvertently created; he couldn't control it!

This feeling of power made his entire being exude a strong conviction. This conviction invisibly changed his temperament, making anyone who saw him again feel a shock to their mind before they even made a move!

Standing up, Wang Lin clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. His gaze could penetrate the Scorpion Temple and see the firmament above. His Divine Sense spread out, and with a slight movement, it could permeate the entire Scorpion Temple.

Yun Yifeng and the other two were no longer there, having evidently waited too long before and dared not linger, so they left.

This was no longer important. For Wang Lin, that Yun was already like a passing cloud. What he had to face now were the nine Mysterious Tribulations!

"If I, Wang Lin, can successfully overcome the nine Mysterious Tribulations and become an Empty Tribulation Realm Grand Venerate, I will slaughter the entire Dao Demon Sect, from top to bottom. Even Empty Tribulation Realm Late Stage Cultivators will have their bodies and Souls obliterated, to repay the grace of this century-long fortune!" A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, revealing an even more powerful force of conviction!

Gazing upwards, Wang Lin waited!

Waiting for the Mysterious Tribulation that would make him a Grand Venerate to arrive!

He had never seen a Mysterious Tribulation, but at this moment, Wang Lin had enough confidence to stand on the tower and witness the fleeting splendor and beauty of that Mysterious Tribulation!

Throughout history, those qualified to face the Mysterious Tribulation were all trembling with fear and extremely cautious. Even the Great Heavenly Venerate, before becoming a Great Heavenly Venerate, was mostly like this. People like Wang Lin were exceedingly rare!
