Chapter 1919: Immortal Astral’s tenth sun—Who is it!

At this moment, in the Land of Heavenly Venerate Nirvana, Wang Lin’s figure shot up into the nine heavens. He didn't want this; he had originally planned to stop at the thirteenth floor, but the appearance and words of the Immortal Emperor ignited a surge of anger in his heart!

This anger proved his previous conjecture: the trip to the Imperial City would be extremely dangerous!

Therefore, the Immortal Emperor intended to suppress Wang Lin’s Aura, ensuring no Great Heavenly Venerate would recruit him, or, even if they did, they wouldn't treat him the same way as someone who broke through the thirteenth floor.

This method was the most direct, yet extremely effective!

Falling drastically from his most glorious moment, transforming from the most attention-grabbing Peak into an object of scorn pointed at by thousands—Wang Lin could ignore this intense contrast, as he was not the type of person to care about such things. However, if this happened, his goal of achieving instant fame would become a farce, not only failing to achieve the desired effect but also causing him to become notorious across the Immortal Race Continent.

He would never allow such a thing! Even against the Immortal Emperor, he would fight!

"Fifteenth floor! Fine. Since you all think the thirteenth floor is my limit, then today, I shall be completely arrogant, and completely explode with power! Immortal Emperor, your actions are so despicable; it shows the shamelessness inherent in your Bloodline!

No wonder the person sealed beneath the Donglin Sect had lingering resentment even after death, uttering the words 'Lianyun Jue, despicable'!” A cold glint appeared in Wang Lin's eyes. His speed was immense; he instantly rushed to the thirteenth floor, and with a flash, his figure, like a Dragon, headed straight for the fourteenth floor.

Just as Wang Lin was about to step into the fourteenth floor, he paused and looked down.

"Immortal Emperor, open your eyes wide and watch me closely!"

"Impudence!" The Venerate Ming Dao next to the Immortal Emperor immediately shouted. But the Immortal Emperor's expression remained calm; instead, he smiled faintly.

"I am watching to see if you can break through the fifteenth floor!" However, the pupils of his eyes contracted almost imperceptibly.

Wang Lin sneered. Since he had already torn off the pretense, he might as well discard all reservations. The more aggressive he was now, the safer he would be when he eventually went to the Imperial City, once this matter spread.

He took a step, and decisively entered the fourteenth floor!

"The Soul Armor's time is limited. Since I chose to achieve instant fame, this time, I will use the Clone within the Immortal Astral Law!! Clone, using the soul as a guide, merge into the body!!" Wang Lin’s figure vanished into the hall of the fourteenth floor.

After Wang Lin entered the fourteenth floor, the Cultivators below fell silent. This rapid development was no less shocking than when they had just learned Wang Lin only broke through the thirteenth floor by wearing the Soul Armor.

"The fourteenth floor… currently, among the Leaping Heavenly Venerates, only Venerate Ming Dao and Venerate Cai Wei have broken through… This Wang Lin, a fraud who seeks fame by deceiving the world, absolutely cannot break through!"

"The reason he's acting like this is probably out of shame and anger, intending to risk his life to break through."

"Interesting. What happened today in the Land of Heavenly Venerate Nirvana is like a winding path, full of many twists and turns. I wonder what the final change will be."

"No need to think about it. This person cannot break through! The time limit for his Soul Armor has passed. What does he rely on to break through!"

The Heavenly Venerate Cultivators watched the sky coldly, their hearts filled with indifference and contempt for Wang Lin. As for the dozens of Leaping Heavenly Venerate Cultivators, they were also watching the sky, each with different thoughts, but most concluded that Wang Lin would fail, believing his current actions were like a trapped beast going mad.

That Venerate Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate looked at the sky curtain, frowning. He also did not believe Wang Lin could break through the fourteenth floor.

"His Heart-Nature is not firm. To be driven to such lengths by a few words from the Immortal Emperor means he fundamentally cannot break through, yet he insists on forcing his way. This child is not worth recruiting."

Venerate Ming Dao kept sneering, as if that was his only expression, but in his eyes fixed on the sky, there was a trace of apprehension. He didn't know why, but he felt that something was amiss.

The Immortal Emperor beside him remained silent, his expression calm, but inwardly, he was somewhat hesitant.

"Based on my understanding of him, he rarely acts like this unless he is confident… But the fourteenth floor, without the Soul Armor, will be very difficult for him to break through. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to leave earlier.

He is just inviting humiliation upon himself!"

But just as this thought arose in the Immortal Emperor's mind, only nine breaths of time had passed, when suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the sky curtain!!

This golden light erupted from within the fourteenth floor, piercing through the clouds and covering all directions.

This golden light was extremely dazzling. It pierced the eyes of all the Cultivators below and, moreover, stabbed into their minds!

"Nine breaths!! Impossible! He took so long on the thirteenth floor, how could he pass the even more difficult fourteenth floor in just nine breaths!!"

"He actually… actually… broke through!! Wasn't his Soul Armor unusable already!! Without the Soul Armor, doesn't he only have the cultivation to break through the fifth floor!!"

"Does he perhaps have another Soul Armor?"

Venerate Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate was stunned. His body flickered, and he rushed straight toward the sky curtain to see the fourteenth floor radiating brilliant light up close!

"He actually broke through the fourteenth floor!" Murderous intent thickened in Venerate Ming Dao's eyes as he stared fixedly at the sky.

"It's nothing, just the fourteenth floor." The Immortal Emperor glanced at the sky curtain, his pupils contracting again, and he slowly closed his eyes.

On the sky curtain, Wang Lin's figure materialized outside the fourteenth-floor palace. He didn't pause or rest at all; instead, with a flash, he rushed straight toward the fifteenth floor!

As his figure entered the fifteenth-floor hall amidst the golden light, a violent clamor erupted among the crowd below.

"Passing the fourteenth floor in nine breaths, and now challenging the fifteenth floor—did we misunderstand him before!!"

"Even with the Soul Armor, being able to break through to the fifteenth floor is extremely astonishing!"

Venerate Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate stared blankly at the sky curtain, and the intention he had previously abandoned suddenly resurfaced.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths… At the ninth breath after Wang Lin stepped onto the fifteenth floor, the fifteenth floor suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light again!!

This golden light pierced through the clouds and rapidly spread in all directions. The appearance of the golden light was like a giant slap, fiercely hitting the Immortal Emperor's face, causing the Immortal Emperor to suddenly open his eyes, revealing rare shock!!

Venerate Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with bright light.

"We were all wrong about this child. He possesses potential even more terrifying than Venerate Ming Dao. Even the Soul Armor is a part of his strength! At the very least, if it were someone else, even wearing the same Soul Armor, who would dare say they could break through the fifteenth floor!"

The Great Heavenly Venerate Wu Feng's expression was calm, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes openly showed admiration. His willingness to confront the Immortal Emperor earlier was essentially a gamble. If he won the bet, Wang Lin would surely remember it. Even if Wang Lin didn't immediately choose to follow him, once he became a Great Heavenly Venerate someday, this would be a favorable connection!

"The fifteenth floor… he broke through the fifteenth floor…" Murderous intent surged in Venerate Ming Dao's eyes. His inner arrogance could not accept such an event. His body suddenly flashed, and he rushed straight toward the sky curtain.

This scene was witnessed by everyone, and the Cultivators immediately let out exclamations!

"Still passing a floor in nine breaths! This Wang Lin is absolutely not what we previously thought!"

"This person possesses great cultivation, which is beyond our comprehension. He clearly concealed his strength before, unwilling to stand out too much. If not for the Immortal Emperor forcing him, he probably wouldn't have challenged it!"

"That's right! The Immortal Emperor and he must have some unknown secret, which is why the Immortal Emperor used those words to provoke him earlier!"

Similar thoughts arose among the Leaping Heavenly Venerate Cultivators. At this moment, they no longer held the contempt they previously felt for Wang Lin; instead, they felt a complex mix of emotions, primarily admiration!

Regardless of what means were used, breaking through the fifteenth floor meant strength!!

Venerate Haizi, in the crowd, watched this scene with a smile on her face. She looked at the sky curtain, and although she knew the gap between herself and the other party was growing wider—now only able to look up at the sky from the crowd—she was still very happy.

Venerate Ming Dao's flying figure brought a new Peak to the exclamations. His figure whistled as he instantly rushed toward the sky curtain. Almost the moment Wang Lin walked out of the fifteenth floor and flew toward the sixteenth floor, the two simultaneously took a step, entering the hall of the sixteenth floor together!!

The Land of Heavenly Venerate Nirvana does not restrict entry to one person at a time. Therefore, although the two entered simultaneously, they would not meet, but would challenge the floor separately!

The sixteenth-floor hall had never emitted golden light throughout countless years; unlike the fifteenth floor below, which had, after all, emitted golden light once before.

"Venerate Ming Dao and Wang Lin are challenging the sixteenth floor simultaneously. Which of the two can succeed!" Venerate Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate's eyes were bright as he looked at the sky curtain, and anticipation arose in his heart.

After all, one of these two had been famous for many years, while the other had just achieved instant fame. Their simultaneous challenge of the sixteenth floor was a major event for the entire Immortal Race!

Wu Feng also became solemn. In the Land of Heavenly Venerate Nirvana, each floor was harder than the last. Venerate Ming Dao had challenged the sixteenth floor twice back then, failing both times.

The Immortal Emperor, standing far away, had an extremely gloomy expression. Given his status, the words he had just uttered had now been utterly shattered and resulted in an invisible slap to his face. A faint coldness rose in his eyes as he looked toward the sky.

Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, nine breaths passed. Just as the ninth breath began, the sixteenth-floor hall, which had never shown light for countless years, suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light!!

"Golden light! This is the sixteenth floor!! The sixteenth floor has actually been broken through!! Previously, among the current Leaping Heavenly Venerates, not a single person had broken through the sixteenth floor!"

"Who is it? Which of the two broke through!"

"Nine breaths! It must be Wang Lin!"

"Not necessarily. Venerate Ming Dao has been famous for many years. If he wasn't confident, how could he challenge it easily? I think this time it's Venerate Ming Dao!"

Dao Yi, Wu Feng, and the Immortal Emperor—all three focused their attention, wanting to know who it was!

Venerate Haizi nervously watched the sky curtain, but soon, her eyes showed surprise and joy!

They saw Wang Lin's figure step out from outside the sixteenth-floor hall. His face was slightly pale. He didn't immediately proceed to the seventeenth floor, but stood there, looking at the hall, seemingly waiting for Venerate Ming Dao!

Seeing this scene, Dao Yi's eyes snapped wide open. Great Heavenly Venerate Wu Feng's eyes showed shock. As for the Immortal Emperor, his expression changed, showing faint disbelief.

Not only them, but even the Great Heavenly Venerate Jiudi on Emperor Mountain gasped.
