Chapter 2031: Fading Lights, Chihunzi! (Third Update)

Nanyunzi, whose existence was reduced to only his Primordial Spirit, stared intently at the young man within the bloody light in the sky. Hearing the other party's words, he let out a mournful laugh.

"Two days, huh? Since Wang Lin created my Immortal Realm, all who exist here are Cultivators who survived the great war with the Outer Realm. In my Immortal Realm, there's a saying, have you heard it?" As Nanyunzi roared, all the Cultivators on the ground suddenly looked up.

"We Cultivators, why fear a battle!"

The voices of those Cultivators converged, forming a roaring sound wave that surged into the sky, faintly diluting the bloody light above and revealing a group of tens of thousands of blood-robed figures behind it.

Behind those figures was a thick blood mist, churning within, as if someone was sitting cross-legged inside.

"Old man, you're courting death! When the Formation breaks in two days, this young Master will ask Master to bestow your Primordial Spirit upon me, so I can taste what a Third Step mighty expert's Primordial Spirit tastes like." The young man's expression changed, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"What is there to fear in death!" Nanyunzi roared.

“The creator of the Immortal Realm, Wang Lin, will surely return one day. When he returns, a mere Chihun Sect, a mere Chihunzi, I'd like to see how you resist!”

Beside Nanyunzi, Daoist Blue Dream sat cross-legged, his face pale, healing and breathing.

"Wang Lin? It's fortunate this person left back then, otherwise, in front of Master, he's merely an ant! This Immortal Realm Formation was set up by him, wasn't it? Yet it's still going to be broken by Master. If not for wanting the Immortal Realm to remain intact, Master could have completely shattered this place with a single move."

The young man sneered. What appeared here was merely a phantom, not his true body. Amidst his laughter, his figure gradually faded into the bloody light and disappeared.

Outside the Immortal Realm continent, the Restriction Formation that Wang Lin had set up years ago was now enveloped by a sea of blood. This blood continuously eroded the Formation, and it was already largely damaged. In another two days, this Immortal Realm Formation could be completely opened.

Tens of thousands of blood-colored figures floated quietly in the starry sky outside the Immortal Realm, like Puppets. A large amount of red mist emanated from them, continuously merging into the bloody light that was eroding the grand Formation.

Behind these figures, within the vast, floating blood-colored mist, sat an old man cross-legged. This old man wore a red robe, and even his hair was red.

He formed Hand Seals with both hands, occasionally striking out with sigils, causing the Immortal Realm Formation to break down even faster.

"This Wang Lin indeed possesses some skill. The Restriction he set up actually requires several days for even me to break. This Restriction is also peculiar; it contains a trace of terrifying aura that gives me a premonition that if I were to exert my full power and forcibly blast apart this Immortal Realm, a shocking change would occur.

However, as long as I don't forcibly blast it open, but rather erode it with blood, I can avoid this aura and dissolve it into nothingness. Fortunately, this aura is not much, only a trace, otherwise, breaking it would probably be even more difficult." This red-haired old man was precisely Chihunzi!

Back when Wang Lin was experiencing Venerable Master's life-and-death tribulation, he released a soul sealed by Ye Mo. This soul, upon appearing, broke the Seal of the life-and-death tribulation and soared away.

Now, he had recovered his cultivation and gained a Physical Body. Furthermore, many years after Wang Lin's departure, he founded the Chihun Sect. He now besieged the Immortal Realm, and with his formidable cultivation, he severely injured Daoist Blue Dream and destroyed Nanyunzi's Physical Body.

He stared at the land of the Immortal Realm within the bloody light, a cruel expression on his face.

"Almost all the strongest experts in the entire Inner Realm are concentrated in this Immortal Realm. Back then, my cultivation hadn't recovered, and I had no confidence in breaking the Restrictions here. But now, in another two days, the Restrictions here can be opened. All these people will become my food. After devouring their essence blood, my cultivation will definitely rise another level, becoming a Golden Venerate!"

"Haha, once I, Chihunzi, become a Golden Venerate, even if I return to the Immortal Astral Continent, I will be enough to become a Grand Elder of a sect. By then, who knows, I might even have a chance to advance to a Heavenly Venerate in this lifetime!" Chihunzi's eyes showed excitement and exhilaration. He knew that on the Immortal Astral Continent, Heavenly Venerates were extremely rare, only a few hundred. Once one became a Heavenly Venerate, they could seek to attach themselves to a Great Heavenly Venerate.

And by that time, as a Cultivator affiliated with a Great Heavenly Venerate, he would undoubtedly be famous on the Immortal Astral Continent.

"Among the Immortal Race's Five Great Heavenly Venerates, if I were to pledge allegiance, my first choice would be the Immortal Emperor… Unfortunately, the Immortal Emperor has countless experts under him, and may not recruit me… However, even if I don't pledge allegiance to the Immortal Emperor, I can still pledge allegiance to Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate!

Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate is extremely concerned about Heavenly Venerate Cultivators. If I pledge allegiance, he will definitely accept. With Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate's protection, even if Wang Lin knows all this and wants to cause me trouble, I won't be afraid!

If his cultivation is not as high as mine, I will absorb all his essence blood to strengthen myself. If, by some slim chance, his cultivation is similar to mine, or slightly higher, although the possibility is small, if it truly happens, I still have Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate's protection.

I don't believe that in front of Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate, he still wouldn't submit! He would probably be so terrified at the sight of Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate that he would immediately kneel and worship!

After all, in the eyes of a Great Heavenly Venerate, all Cultivators are but ants!" Chihunzi's thoughts on future matters were extremely thorough. After assuring himself that no accidents would occur, he burst into laughter.

"Master!" Amidst his laughter, within the blood-colored mist, beside him, another person sat cross-legged. This person was a young man. He opened his eyes, stood up, and respectfully bowed to Chihunzi. He was precisely the phantom who had spoken earlier in the sky of the Immortal Realm.

Chihunzi, still laughing, glanced at the young man beside him. This person was a Disciple he had met in the Immortal Cave Realm, who was very suitable for his Cultivation Technique. His talent was extraordinary, and what was most interesting was that he had met this person on the Vermilion Bird Star, who was said to be a descendant of Wang Lin from many generations ago.

"Master, they still haven't given up and are continuously sending out cultivation power to reinforce the Formation. Especially that Nanyunzi, he's even more hateful. Please, Master, after breaking this Formation, bestow Nanyunzi's Primordial Spirit upon this Disciple, so I can torment him thoroughly." The young man's face showed cruelty as he spoke respectfully.

"A mere Nanyunzi, he's yours!" Chihunzi looked at the cruel expression on the other's face with great appreciation; this was exactly the kind of Disciple he wanted.

"However, that Mu Bingmei…" Chihunzi spoke leisurely.

"If Master fancies this woman, this Disciple will offer her with both hands." The young man quickly and respectfully said.

"She is your ancestor's confidante." Chihunzi's eyes showed mockery. He found this scene very interesting, and he even wondered what expression Wang Lin would have if he knew all this one day.

"So what? Although this Disciple's surname is Wang, since Wang Lin left the Immortal Cave Realm and his whereabouts are unknown, isn't it only right for this descendant to enjoy the confidante he left behind to alleviate loneliness? Didn't Master always tell me this?" The young man respectfully said.

"Ye Mo is dead, but since you have obtained Ye Mo's Legacy, then Wang Lin, you shall also inherit my hatred for him!" Chihunzi burst into laughter upon hearing this, a malicious glint flashing in his eyes.

"No need for that. This Mu Bingmei is a Dao Companion I personally chose for you. How could I snatch her? However, I will train this woman for a while, and when I'm tired of her, I will naturally give her to you." Chihunzi said with a smile.

"It should be so. Thank you, Master." The young man nodded with a smile.

"Alright, just two more days!" Chihunzi's eyes flashed, and he formed Hand Seals. Immediately, the blood mist churned violently, and the tens of thousands of blood-colored Puppets outside released even more bloody light, making the Immortal Realm Formation even more fragile.

At this moment, while Chihunzi was continuously corroding the Immortal Realm Formation with bloody light outside, within the Immortal Realm, on a towering mountain peak, stood a woman dressed in white.

The woman's beauty was unparalleled. Not to mention this Immortal Cave Realm, even on the entire Immortal Astral Continent, there was no woman who could compare to her in beauty.

Her beauty almost did not belong to this world.

The mountain wind blew, carrying a scent of blood, and stirred her black hair. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was now completely calm.

However, deep within this calm, there was a trace of confusion and bitterness that outsiders could not see. It was wrapped deep within her heart, encased by the shell of her strength.

"Saintess Your Highness…" Behind her stood an old man. The old man looked at the woman before him, his expression respectful yet anxious.

"The Formation… can last for two more days at most."

"I know… Leave me alone to be quiet." Mu Bingmei looked at the sky and spoke softly.

The old man hesitated, sighed inwardly, clasped his fists, and retreated.

The entire mountain peak now held only Mu Bingmei. She stood there silently for a long time. After a while, she raised her right hand. In her palm lay a crystal sword.

It was left to her by Wang Lin, formed from Wang Lin's Origin, and still contained the aura of his dao ancient self.

"If I am still in this world, I will welcome you…" Mu Bingmei murmured. These were the words she had spoken when Wang Lin left back then.

"If I am no longer in this world…" Mu Bingmei's expression showed sorrow as she looked at the sword in her hand, her eyes glistening.

"Wang Lin, where are you!!!" Tears streamed down Mu Bingmei's face. The tears fell onto the sword in her palm, making a faint sound as they flowed along the blade… Amidst Mu Bingmei's murmuring, at this moment, in the direction of Luotian within the Inner Realm, the calm, dark starry sky suddenly produced dazzling light out of nowhere. The light flashed, transforming into a light gate. From within the light gate, a person walked out.

White robes, white hair.

Wang Lin.

"This is…" Wang Lin looked around, a smile appearing on his face.

"Luotian…" His smile revealed a joy from the bottom of his heart. The familiar aura here let him know that he… had come home… His Divine Sense instinctively spread out, suddenly diffusing in all directions.

"I wonder what the Immortal Realm looks like now, if it has changed much since I left… Those old friends, and…" Wang Lin murmured, suddenly stopping. He sharply looked up, staring intently in the direction of the Immortal Realm. The smile on his face was instantly replaced by an icy chill and monstrous killing intent.

This was the first time he had fully unleashed his killing intent since becoming the strongest person on the Immortal Astral Continent!

I really couldn't write for three consecutive days. These three chapters today took an entire day to write.

I can only manage three updates today, please forgive me.
