Chapter 349: The Remaining People (First update, please give your monthly votes!)

Wang Lin stood on the Star Compass, sensing the huge plant formed by the Hunched Old Man from afar. He hesitated, his eyes flickering, and decided not to bother him again, instead turning to leave.

Along the way, he had been very cautious, only acting when it was necessary to protect himself.

Now that he had cut off the Hunched Old Man's retreat, the other party would undoubtedly be furious to the extreme. Although the other party was at their weakest right now, Wang Lin knew that the gap between himself and them was too great. If not for the speed of the Star Compass, he would have long since become the other party's Rune Puppet.

A Seven-Leaf Spell Caster, equivalent to a Nascent Soul Transformation Cultivator, no matter how weak, would still have means to kill him. Wang Lin didn't think he could kill the other party.

Not long after he left, the Hunched Old Man, inside the giant plant, opened his eyes. A red light flashed in his eyes as he vaguely sensed Wang Lin's location, noticing that the other party was moving away at an extremely fast speed. He snorted lightly and muttered to himself, "What a pity… this child acts cautiously. If he had come closer, I would have definitely been able to kill him this time."

He remained silent for a moment, then gradually communicated with the outside world using the clan spirit.

In the Void Realm, the most terrifying thing is having no exit. This place is not like the outside where one can tear open a rift. Without external guidance and connection, it's like a maze, and one will be trapped here permanently.

After a long while, a hint of anxiety appeared in the old man's eyes. As for Wang Lin, he had long been forgotten. At this moment, his only thought was to quickly contact his fellow clansmen using the clan spirit, so they could tear open a rift from the outside and leave a guide, allowing him to find his way back.

Wang Lin, on the Star Compass, flew for a long time. The sense of danger behind him had completely disappeared, but he remained cautious. After flying for several more days, he finally slowed down.

He looked at the dark Void Realm around him, his gaze calm, without any trace of anxiety. He sat cross-legged on the Compass, and with a touch of his right hand to his brow, the Heaven Defying Bead immediately flew out.

Subsequently, Wang Lin's spiritual power stirred within his body, and black patterns reappeared on his body. However, these black patterns were already few, only appearing above his neck.

During these eight months of flying, he had repeatedly used the Heaven Defying Bead to absorb the rune plants within his body, having already absorbed more than half of them.

At this moment, he let out a low growl, a look of pain on his face. Slowly, the black patterns on his neck gradually rose, and finally, all the black patterns converged at his glabella.

That peculiar plant reappeared, and the Heaven Defying Bead immediately emitted a green light, absorbing it.

After a long time, Wang Lin opened his eyes. He took a deep breath, looked back behind him, and muttered to himself, "Finally, all the rune plants have been expelled. The spellcraft of the Immortal Remnant Race is too strange. If I encounter it again in the future, I must be extremely careful."

He raised his right hand, grasped the Heaven Defying Bead, and looked at it before his eyes. Nine leaves were spread out on the bead, and the last leaf had also spread out a small portion.

A hint of joy appeared in Wang Lin's eyes. The bead touched his glabella and immediately disappeared.

"This time, the harvest is immense. The wood attribute of the Heaven Defying Bead is about to reach Perfection! The most important thing now is to find a way to leave this place!"

Wang Lin pondered for a moment. Before he cut off the Hunched Old Man's escape route, he had already made up his mind, which was why he didn't hesitate to cut the runes at the exit with a single sword strike.

In the Void Realm, without external guidance, it is very difficult to get out. However, although Wang Lin was here, he had his main body outside.

He sat cross-legged on the Compass, silently sensing the existence of his main body.

In Chu State, in the valley outside the Immortal Relic Land, thousands of miles underground, a purple light flickered in the soil.

Within the purple light, a stern-faced man sat cross-legged. He had red hair, a bare upper body, and rough, bronze-colored skin with some tiny cracks on it.

At the man's glabella, two Star Points, in the form of Yin and Yang, slowly rotated.

At this moment, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and a surge of Evil Qi emanated from them. He pondered for a moment, then moved, instantly transforming into a bolt of lightning, rapidly ascending from his cross-legged position and reaching the ground in a blink of an eye.

He slapped his waist with his right hand, and immediately a black robe appeared on his body. At this moment, he looked no different from an ordinary Cultivator.

The man stepped into the mountain forest of the Immortal Relic Land. Under a giant tree, he clenched his right fist and fiercely struck the Void Realm. Immediately, with a series of cracking sounds, a constantly rotating circular space rift, with fractured breaks around it, appeared.

After waiting for a moment, the man shook his head and walked forward again.

Almost every ten steps, he would punch the Void Realm, creating a space rift. Repeating this cycle, his speed gradually increased, and he walked deeper into the Immortal Relic mountain forest step by step.

The man walked straight ahead. After a long time, after creating over a thousand space rifts, he arrived outside the huge Deep Pit that led into the Immortal Relic Land. He glanced down, then turned and walked in another direction, similarly creating a space rift every ten steps.

Time slowly passed, but no impatience showed on his face; he remained as calm as ever.

On the north side of the Immortal Relic mountain forest, the ground was covered with withered branches and rotten leaves. He walked upon them, making rustling sounds. After ten steps, just as he was about to punch, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked into the distance. Then, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he flashed, disappearing from his original spot.

On the northern outskirts of the Immortal Relic mountain forest, a man and a woman were flying rapidly.

The woman had a graceful figure and a white veil over her face. The man was an Azure-robed Elder.

As the two were flying, the Azure-robed Elder's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed the woman, and the two immediately retreated. The moment they retreated, the spot where they had been suddenly boomed, and cracks appeared.

In the very center of the cracks stood a man with red hair and a stern face; it was Wang Lin's main body.

The main body coldly swept his gaze over the two, and immediately, his right hand punched out.

The Azure-robed Elder's expression changed drastically. He slapped his Storage Pouch, and immediately a mountain-shaped Magic Treasure flew out, growing larger against the wind, transforming into a huge mountain peak that suddenly stood before the old man.

The main body's eyes were calm, and his fist, without any hesitation, landed on the mountain peak.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the mountain peak flashed wildly with golden light, but this golden light was useless and immediately collapsed. The huge mountain peak itself instantly turned into shattered rocks, sweeping towards the two.

The Azure-robed Elder's face was gloomy. He pulled the Woman in White Gauze and retreated again.

The main body's fist remained clenched. With a stomp of his foot, the spot he stepped on immediately shattered. His body shot out fiercely, and he punched again.

The Azure-robed Elder opened his mouth and spat out a white light. This white light transformed into a Flying Sword. On the Flying Sword, a cold glint flickered, and a purple line flashed within it, clearly indicating that it was a Flying Sword refined from extremely hard and rather rare Purple Heart Copper.

The Flying Sword flashed, stabbing towards the main body's fist. The main body's expression remained as usual. He snorted lightly and collided with the Flying Sword.

"Crack, crack"

The Flying Sword did not slow down, immediately collapsing from the middle and turning into countless tiny fragments, dissipating completely. At the same time, a Soul Transformation Cultivator's Concept suddenly emanated from the Flying Sword, entering the main body's body through his fist.

The main body's eyes flashed. As an Ancient God, he had no Concept, but he possessed a surge of Evil Qi. His hair behind him floated, and a blood-red light immediately flickered several times within his body. The Azure-robed Elder's Concept immediately became fragile and collapsed within the main body's body.

The main body's fist arrived again.

A hint of panic appeared in the Azure-robed Elder's eyes. He pulled the Woman in White Gauze and retreated again.

The main body continued to pursue.

"Fellow Daoist, we are strangers, why is this happening!!" the Azure-robed Elder roared sternly, retreating again. He was already terrified by the other party's fist.

In his life, apart from the battle spellcasters of the Immortal Remnant Race, he had never encountered a Cultivator with such an attack. Magic Treasures could be directly destroyed, and space rifts appeared with a mere stomp, which made his heart pound with fear.

The main body snorted lightly. His body moved, and his momentum became even more fierce. With one punch, a Divine Ability, like a confinement, immediately appeared around the Azure-robed Elder and the Woman in White Gauze.

"Die!" the main body lightly shouted.

The Azure-robed Elder inwardly cursed. He saw the desperate panic in the Woman in White Gauze's eyes, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "Young Miss, lend me the Dharma Blade!"

The Woman in White Gauze immediately slapped her Storage Pouch, and a white light flashed. The old man grabbed it, revealing a broken blade.

Holding the blade, the old man pulled the Woman in White Gauze, bit his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the broken blade.

At this moment, the main body's fist descended with a boom, its target precisely the Azure-robed Elder's head. The Azure-robed Elder's heart trembled, and he immediately roared desperately. The broken blade in his hand immediately flew out, desperately blocking in front of him.

"Bang"

A clear sound echoed. Cracks immediately appeared on the broken blade, and one corner shattered with a boom, flying out.

The Azure-robed Elder gritted his teeth, his face gloomy with panic, and retreated again. His speed was extremely fast, and he actually managed to break free from the surrounding confinement while pulling the Woman in White Gauze.

"Senior, stop. Even if you want to kill us, can you at least give us a reason?" the Woman in White Gauze's voice was filled with panic as she spoke quickly.

The main body withdrew his fist and looked coldly at the two.

Immediately, the surroundings fell silent. Apart from the rustling sound of light wind blowing against their clothes, there was no other sound.

Sweat appeared on the Azure-robed Elder's forehead. He stared in shock at the red-haired man before him, searching his memory, but he couldn't recall when he had ever offended the other party.

"Where did you two come from?" the main body said coldly.

The Woman in White Gauze was startled. Without time to think, she quickly said, "Junior is from Zhou State. We are passing through here, intending to go to Chu State."

"Nonsense, you seek death!" A cold glint flashed in the main body's eyes, and he looked at the two as if they were already dead. His body did not move, but his right foot instantly kicked forward.

A rumbling sound immediately rang out. The Azure-robed Elder was about to dodge, but it was already too late. He roared loudly, controlling the broken blade in front of him.

"Boom"

The broken blade, shattered!

The old man's body, like a meteor, immediately crashed down from mid-air.

"Senior!! We have no grudges, why must you exterminate us!!!" The Woman in White Gauze's eyes were filled with tears, her voice tearing.

The main body's demeanor was icy cold as he looked at the Woman in White Gauze.
