Chapter 1939: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, Haizi’s Silence
"You… who exactly are you?!" Heavenly Venerate Haizi's face was extremely pale, and her beautiful eyes revealed indescribable terror. She subconsciously retreated as Wang Lin approached.
"Wang Lin? My name is not Wang Lin. My name… should be… Lumo!" The black-haired Wang Lin walked slowly, step by step, towards Heavenly Venerate Haizi. His expression was cold, devoid of any emotion, utterly indifferent.
Beside Heavenly Venerate Haizi, Wang Lin's Five Elements True Body had an extremely solemn expression, staring at the black-haired Wang Lin. Around him, the Origin of Thunder, the Origin of Primordial Beginning, and the three Origins of Void Realm revolved, emitting a soft light, seemingly confronting the approaching black-haired Wang Lin from afar.
"Slaughter descends upon the world, replacing light to become silent annihilation. All living beings… must endure immeasurable tribulations…" As Heavenly Venerate Haizi retreated in terror, Wang Lin's Five Elements True Body stepped forward, bringing the various Origins revolving around him, blocking her path and confronting the black-haired Wang Lin.
"You are merely the condensation of my Five Elements True Body and Origins, and you wish to stop me?" The black-haired Wang Lin looked at the Five Elements True Body.
"Since I have appeared, I will not return without slaughter and destruction! You… disperse!" The black-haired Wang Lin's eyes held no light. He raised his right hand and waved it at the Five Elements True Body.
With this wave, the Five Elements True Body showed signs of struggle, but its body collapsed with a roar, instantly transforming from its true body state into several Origins. These intertwined with the other five Origins and shot directly towards the black-haired Wang Lin's right hand, finally merging into it and disappearing.
"Now, tell me, who are you!" The black-haired Wang Lin stopped in front of Heavenly Venerate Haizi, gazed at her, and slowly spoke. His words were sinister and contained an aura of slaughter.
Heavenly Venerate Haizi's face was pale. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
"Emperor Jiu didn't invite me to Emperor Mountain, did he?"
"This killing game was set up with you as bait to lure me out, wasn't it?"
"Heavenly Venerate Haizi, your identity, besides being Emperor Jiu's Disciple, also belongs to the Imperial Advisor's lineage, doesn't it?"
"Back in the mountains and seas, that severed palm wasn't insane. Its first choice to attack you was because you, like me, do not belong to this Immortal Astral Continent. I come from the Immortal Cave Realm, and you… come from beyond the heavens…"
"Or rather, the Sect of the Imperial Advisor's lineage comes from beyond the heavens…" The black-haired Wang Lin spoke calmly. Each word he uttered made Heavenly Venerate Haizi's face grow paler. Finally, Heavenly Venerate Haizi bit her lower lip, remained silent for a long time, and then looked up at Wang Lin.
"My main body is still too soft-hearted… He should have seen the clues long ago, but he chose not to believe." The black-haired Wang Lin shook his head, raised his right hand, his calm expression revealing ruthlessness, and brought his palm down towards Heavenly Venerate Haizi.
He wanted to kill!
This palm strike was enough to collapse Heavenly Venerate Haizi's Physical Body, utterly destroy her Primordial Spirit, and annihilate both body and soul!
Heavenly Venerate Haizi did not dodge. As she closed her eyes, tears flowed down her cheeks, and she offered no explanation.
As the palm strike swiftly approached, less than three inches from Heavenly Venerate Haizi's heavenly spirit, causing her body to tremble as if about to collapse, a sharp force, capable of shattering heaven and earth and destroying the Void Realm, suddenly appeared behind Heavenly Venerate Haizi. It materialized into a figure, slightly hunched, vaguely resembling an old man. His left hand grabbed Heavenly Venerate Haizi, pulling her back, while his right hand rose and clashed abruptly with the black-haired Wang Lin's palm.
A heaven-shaking roar erupted. The black-haired Wang Lin's body trembled, and he retreated several steps. His entire body made popping sounds, as if it were about to explode. His black robe disintegrated into black Qi as he took his seventh step back, but it instantly re-condensed, reforming into a black robe.
On the ninth step, the black-haired Wang Lin's body paused. His expression was normal, without the slightest surprise, as he coldly watched the old man who had saved Haizi.
"Emperor Jiu!"
That old man was none other than Great Heavenly Venerate Emperor Jiu. His expression was solemn. After saving Haizi, he also looked at Wang Lin.
"This killing game, besides the Imperial Advisor's lineage, also involves you." The black-haired Wang Lin spoke calmly.
"Destruction and slaughter… My main body has been guessing, how exactly did you break through the seventeen layers of Heavenly Venerate Nirvana? With your cultivation, merely possessing Soul Armor certainly couldn't reach that level… So, on your body, there exists this power that represents slaughter and destruction!" Great Heavenly Venerate Emperor Jiu's pupils contracted slightly. His previous palm strike, imbued with his Great Heavenly Venerate power, only made the opponent retreat nine steps!
"Is this why you participated in this killing game… Or rather, you perceived this killing game and wanted to use it to resolve the doubts in your heart." The black-haired Wang Lin's calm eyes grew even colder. As he spoke, his body swayed, and he stepped out, heading directly towards Emperor Jiu!
This was his first time attacking a Great Heavenly Venerate!
But his advance did not cause Emperor Jiu to feel contempt; instead, he became even more solemn. As he raised his right hand, the heavens and earth changed color. The swirling snow in the sky instantly condensed, forming a giant snow sword that swept directly towards Wang Lin.
"I represent destruction, and I wield slaughter…" The black-haired Wang Lin raised his right hand, and at the instant the snow sword fell, he clenched his fist and struck with a punch!
This strike clashed with the snow sword, producing a thunderous roar. The snow sword immediately disintegrated, but Wang Lin's body also shattered, transforming into countless black Qi that coiled back, abruptly changing direction and heading directly towards Emperor Jiu.
Emperor Jiu frowned. As the massive black Qi approached, he raised both hands and placed them in front of him, forming a circular mark. Instantly, a brilliant flash of light erupted, illuminating the heavens and earth. This light radiated outwards from his hand-Seal, enveloping everything.
As the light dispersed, it immediately collided with the approaching black Qi. Amidst the echoing roars, it was like a clash between darkness and light. In an instant, the light dissipated. Emperor Jiu's footsteps did not move an inch, but his eyes revealed a towering brilliance!
The black Qi in front of him, which had obscured the light, re-condensed in front of Emperor Jiu, reforming into the black-haired Wang Lin.
"You cannot defeat this old man!" Great Heavenly Venerate Emperor Jiu looked at Wang Lin. His aged face, in the brilliant light emanating from his eyes, seemed to show signs of transforming towards middle age.
"You cannot conceal the destruction of slaughter." The black-haired Wang Lin slowly spoke.
"White-haired Heavenly Venerate… Black-haired Heavenly Venerate… Wang Lin, I underestimated you! This time, Haizi is innocent. I give you this item; from now on, what happened today is written off!" Emperor Jiu raised his right hand and grabbed at the Void Realm. Immediately, golden light flickered, and in his hand, a palm-sized golden fragment appeared!
"I once observed your body and saw traces of this sword. This fragment can help your Five Elements Origin reach Major Achievement!" Emperor Jiu said, waving his right hand. The fragment shot towards Wang Lin, floating motionlessly in front of him.
Having given the Immortal Extreme Sword fragment, Emperor Jiu gave Wang Lin a meaningful look, then turned and, taking the always-silent Heavenly Venerate Haizi, vanished without a trace.
With his disappearance, the restriction on this long street was gone, but the surrounding ruins remained eternal, unchanged.
After a night on the long street, the first rays of sun gradually appeared on the distant horizon, seemingly wanting to dispel the darkness and envelop the land in light.
The black-haired Wang Lin stood there, looking up at the sky, silent for a long time.
As time passed, the distant rising sun ascended, and light spread from the east like a ripple. Wherever it passed, blackness turned into light, rapidly expanding through the eastern part of this Ancestral City at a visible speed.
When the ripple of light appeared on this long street, Wang Lin's body remained motionless. He watched as the ripple of light drew closer and closer, finally enveloping his body and sweeping over him.
As the light swept over his hair, it gradually changed from black to white. The ruthlessness in his eyes and the coldness in his expression also turned into weariness and desolation after his white hair appeared.
He did not use any method to forcibly suppress the phenomenon where slaughter dominated, because Wang Lin understood that when his slaughter descended, nothing could be changed.
"From now on, in the sunlight, I am the white-haired Wang Lin… and when night falls, I am the black-haired Lumo… Like sunrise and sunset, it is difficult to change. Fortunately, I have the power of a Void Realm Clone, which can slightly suppress it and keep me clear-headed."
Black and white, on Wang Lin's body, eternally paused.
With a soft sigh, Wang Lin had no further thoughts of pursuing Haizi. He raised his right hand, collected the Immortal Extreme Sword fragment in front of him, picked up the discarded Heavenly Ox Soul Armor, and turned to walk into the distance.
"It's time to leave… All the secrets and Origins of this Immortal Race, I no longer wish to ponder."
Wang Lin's figure disappeared into the distance. As dawn broke, the snow continued, falling like goose feathers.
This snow fell for a long time, until the morning two days later. Snowflakes continuously fell, covering the earth as if it had donned a thick cotton coat.
On the morning two days later, Wang Lin, with Liu Jinbiao and Hailong, stood outside the East City Gate. He looked back at the Ancestral City behind him, waiting calmly.
Not long after, under Liu Jinbiao's eager gaze, he excitedly saw two figures approaching in the distance. One of them, wearing a large red robe, was Xu Ligou.
Xu Ligou had a bewildered expression. For the past few days, he had felt a calling in his mind. This feeling led him to the East Gate this morning.
Beside him, the Madman strode along arrogantly. He also came here because the same calling as Xu Ligou had irritated him for the past few days, so he decided to come and see.
"Eh? It's you! Damn it, you still dare to appear before this King!" The Madman spotted Wang Lin from afar, immediately glared, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to charge forward.
Xu Ligou was also startled upon seeing Wang Lin.
"Xu Ligou, I'm leaving. Will you stay here, or follow me!" Wang Lin looked at the charging Madman, sighed inwardly, and then his gaze fell upon Xu Ligou as he slowly spoke.
His words entered Xu Ligou's mind, causing his brain to roar as if a layer of sealed memories had loosened. Scene after scene of past events instantly surfaced in his heart.
