Chapter 1862: Immortal Astral, tenth sun, Soul Three Tribulations!
Wang Lin's figure leaped into the air, above the Scorpion Temple, speeding towards the thousand-zhang giant drum within the layers of ripples in the sky. His right hand held the Bone Yin Blade, which emitted a sharp, chilling Qi. As this chill spread, it seemed capable of freezing everything, incompatible with the heaven and earth.
The sound of the drum echoed, vibrating between the bone Meridians within Wang Lin's body. At the same time, around the thousand-zhang giant drum in the sky, countless phantoms materialized within the ripples following the drumbeats.
Each of these phantoms wore red Armor, looking like blood-colored Immortal soldiers. After hundreds and thousands of them appeared, they carried a dense Evil Qi and charged straight toward Wang Lin.
This was the second of the Internal Three Tribulations, the Blood Shadow Tribulation!
The Blood Shadows formed by this tribulation each possessed a cultivation not weaker than the empty profound stage, and they were immortal and indestructible. Even if destroyed, they would immediately re-condense and be born again from the ripples. Boundless and endless, this cycle became a terrifying nightmare for anyone Undergoing Tribulation!
Most importantly, these nearly one thousand Blood Shadows would increase in cultivation each time they died. The longer the delay, the stronger they became, capable of simply wiping out the person Undergoing Tribulation!
Among ordinary Cultivators, it was rare for anyone to pass these Internal Three Tribulations consecutively. Most would, after barely passing the Severing Tribulation, immediately force themselves out of the Mysterious Tribulation, waiting until years later, when they were fully prepared, to return and face the Blood Shadow Tribulation!
The terror of this tribulation lay in the fact that they could not be destroyed; few could pass it!
Wang Lin did not know how others passed this Blood Shadow Tribulation, but he had his own method. At the moment these nearly one thousand Blood Shadows appeared, Wang Lin, while in mid-air, suddenly erupted with monstrous golden light from his eyes. Moreover, a heaven-shaking majesty, like heavenly might, spread out from his eyes.
Under this golden light, Wang Lin's eyes emitted a force of suppression. This force of suppression was unparalleled, having been transformed after the green-robed elder fused the fragments of the Immortal Extreme Sword. Previously, even the Scorpion Soul had to be suppressed by this gaze of Wang Lin's, let alone the Blood Shadows produced by these Internal Three Tribulations!
Wang Lin swept his gaze across the air. Wherever his gaze passed, every Blood Shadow he saw trembled in unison and stopped abruptly in mid-air, their expressions revealing fear. In that instant, every single Blood Shadow felt as if heavenly might had descended. That heavenly might transformed into a golden sword, whistling invisibly into their bodies, as if they would be ruthlessly destroyed if they took even half a step further!
"Get back!" Wang Lin stood in mid-air, his voice cold as his gaze swept over them.
His voice was not loud, but landing within those nearly one thousand Blood Shadows, it was like the roar of heavenly might, causing them to tremble violently and subconsciously retreat in a hurry.
They were phantom manifestations of the Internal Three Tribulations and did not possess much intelligence, but they had instincts. They instinctively feared Wang Lin's gaze. As they retreated, they rolled back hundreds of zhang in an instant, each one merging back into the ripples and disappearing from sight.
Throughout history, those who passed this tribulation had used various methods, but never before had anyone like Wang Lin simply used a single gaze and a single sentence to make the Blood Shadow Tribulation collapse on its own, with none daring to step forward!!
The moment those Blood Shadows dissipated one by one, Wang Lin's body shot up like a long rainbow, heading straight for the thousand-zhang giant drum in the sky. The drum shook throughout its entirety, about to emit the third drum sound.
But before it could be struck, Wang Lin had already approached. He raised his right hand holding the Bone Yin Blade and, in an instant, slashed towards the giant drum!!
At the moment of this slash, the Five Elements True Body suddenly materialized behind Wang Lin. Its body had overlapping shadows, also raising its right hand, the Bone Yin Blade manifesting, turning into three shadows in succession, following closely behind Wang Lin, and descending with a boom!
At the moment Wang Lin's Yin Blade struck the giant drum, the third drum sound rang out, dong dong. However, after this drum sound appeared, it was completely replaced by the whistling of the Yin Blade and the roar of the slash, making it impossible to hear at all.
As the blade swept across, the Five Elements True Body behind Wang Lin similarly delivered three strikes, landing on the giant drum.
Looking at this scene from afar, it was as if four heaven-opening blades, with an Aura that could sever the heaven and earth, had crashed onto this phantom giant drum. The roaring sound, in that instant, turned into endless drumbeats. The moment it rose to shake the heavens and earth, the giant drum suddenly developed a Rift in the middle and collapsed with a boom!
Falling apart, the drum turned into countless fragments that rolled backward, kicking up a layer of wild wind and waves in all directions, whistling as they spread out.
The third of the Internal Three Tribulations had not yet revealed itself before it was already collapsed at its foundation by Wang Lin's strike!
Having consecutively passed six Mysterious Tribulations, Wang Lin's expression slowly became solemn, no longer as relaxed as before. These Internal Three Tribulations were clearly several times stronger than the previous External Three Tribulations, already requiring Wang Lin to use his suppressing gaze and the Bone Yin Blade!
According to this analysis, the final three tribulations would far exceed these Internal Three Tribulations, becoming the chasm that blocks Cultivators from becoming Empty Tribulation Realm masters!
His body drifted down, landing on the scorpion tail. The Bone Yin Blade in Wang Lin's right hand slowly retracted into his flesh and blood, disappearing from sight. He looked up at the sky, waiting for the arrival of the final three Mysterious Tribulations.
Within Wang Lin's body, the green-robed elder, in addition to giving Wang Lin the heavenly might suppressing gaze, the Yin Blade, and that resilient body, had also given Wang Lin a Meridian condensed from the Immortal Ancestor's hair!
This Meridian could allow Wang Lin, to a certain extent, to have a body of both Immortal and Ancient! That hair contained an extremely dense Immortal Qi and could replace and become Wang Lin's Immortal Bloodline!
Although this hair could not truly make Wang Lin perfectly possess an Immortal and Ancient body, it could still play a certain role. At the very least, it could allow Wang Lin, in his current breathing, to circulate pure Immortal Qi through this Meridian made of hair within his body!
This Immortal Qi could allow Wang Lin to use a Magic Treasure that was almost invincible within the Immortal Cave Realm!
Once this Magic Treasure was brought out, it could threaten a true Early Stage Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivator!
At this moment, Wang Lin silently looked at the sky, motionless.
The sky was gloomy, and the clouds dissipated. But after a moment, a piece of eerie light faintly radiated from within the firmament. This eerie light exuded a strange feeling, and after appearing, it condensed in the sky into a huge mark rune!
This rune looked like a ghost face, but it emitted an Aura that felt like a rule, as if its existence was a part of the operation of this heaven and earth.
Wang Lin's pupils shrank as he stared at the rune. The moment this rune appeared, it gave Wang Lin a vague sense of crisis, but he could not find how this crisis would manifest.
"So this is the seventh tribulation…" Wang Lin frowned and snorted coldly, about to disperse the rune, but suddenly, his expression changed drastically. He clearly sensed that something was wrong with the Primordial Spirit inside his body!
His Primordial Spirit, originally extremely full and circulating cross-legged within his body, was now showing signs of withering.
In the time of one breath, the Primordial Spirit within his body immediately withered by a small half. At this speed, he feared it would not take seven breaths before Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit would immediately dissipate and disintegrate, destroying both form and spirit!!
This change was extremely sudden, causing Wang Lin's heart to shake. He now felt the terror of this Mysterious Tribulation deeply for the first time!
With his Primordial Spirit withering, if he wanted to delay it, he had to swallow a large amount of power of heaven and earth to replenish it. Time was tight. Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth to take a fierce breath. The power of heaven and earth in the surroundings suddenly moved, but it could not be swallowed by Wang Lin!
Within these thousands of miles, it was already filled and shrouded by the pressure of this Mysterious Tribulation. Outsiders could not enter, and similarly, even the power of heaven and earth was the same!
The second breath came eerily, and the Primordial Spirit within Wang Lin's body withered even more severely!
"What a seventh tribulation!" Wang Lin suddenly looked up, his body flickering as he headed straight for the eerie light rune mark in the sky. His right hand suddenly raised, and as he approached in an instant, he threw a punch!
As this punch moved, the dao ancient phantom suddenly appeared behind Wang Lin, following with a punch that blasted into the sky. However, this dao ancient punch, at the moment it landed on that eerie-colored rune mark, went straight through it. It was unable to harm the rune in the slightest, as if this rune were just a phantom shadow, visible but untouchable!
During this punch, the third breath arrived, and the Primordial Spirit within Wang Lin's body withered again. Now, it had nearly withered by half!
Wang Lin's expression immediately became gloomy.
This seventh tribulation was the first of the Soul Three Tribulations, and this tribulation was called the Ten-Breath Withering Spirit Tribulation! Countless Cultivators had died under this tribulation over the countless years. In this Withering Spirit, the Primordial Spirit would completely wither and die within seven breaths, destroying both form and spirit!
This tribulation was strange and unpredictable, killing people invisibly and silently; it was extremely terrifying! The rune in the sky was the key to this tribulation, but this rune could not be destroyed. It would exist until the moment the Cultivator died, only then would it dissipate!
Wang Lin stared at the rune in the sky, his thoughts racing in his mind.
"I actually underestimated this Mysterious Tribulation… This tribulation is very interesting… It actually makes my Primordial Spirit wither, and this area of thousands of miles is shrouded, making the power of heaven and earth impossible to absorb and replenish… I have no choice but to do this!"
Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He could not absorb the power of heaven and earth within these thousands of miles, but also within these thousands of miles, there was a mass of extremely pure power of heaven and earth existing, and that was the Scorpion Soul!
Without hesitation, Wang Lin's body flickered. The moment the fourth breath arrived, he suddenly raised his hands, and as his body moved, his hands immediately pressed onto the Scorpion Temple.
The Scorpion Temple shook with a boom. Wang Lin's hands seemed to contain a powerful suction force. With a fierce intake, he saw a shrill roar immediately come from within the Scorpion Temple.
At the same time the fifth breath approached, a Soul mist emanated from the Scorpion Temple. The mist rushed straight to Wang Lin's hands, turning into the power of heaven and earth, and was frantically sucked into his body.
That Scorpion soul fragment had previously been slashed into six parts by Wang Lin. He had absorbed four parts to impact the empty profound stage, and the remaining two parts had merged into the Scorpion Temple and hidden themselves.
If it were normal times, it would be very difficult for Wang Lin to find them, but now that his cultivation had surged, and he had absorbed the four parts of the Scorpion Soul's Aura, in this way, with the Auras attracting each other, he immediately sucked out the remaining two parts of the Scorpion Soul from this Scorpion Temple!
