Chapter 523: Demonic Seal

The man in black cursed inwardly. His body immediately retreated. He did not have full confidence in dealing with the person before him. Thus, it would be better to leave early and not waste time here.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed. Just moments ago, when the Sword Light crashed down and the black fire descended from the sky, he had used the Mark of Life to form a three-layered defense, allowing him to resist the combined attack of these two Divine Abilities.

However, the man in black was, after all, a Cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Late Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation. His cultivation was powerful, and his immortal power was solid, far beyond what Wang Lin could compare to. His two Divine Abilities were by no means ordinary methods. As a result, although Wang Lin had resisted, one of his three Marks of Life had collapsed and dissipated completely!

The Mark of Life was Wang Lin's ultimate technique for saving his life in the future. He had worked hard for so long to condense only three of them. Now that one had been destroyed by the man in black before him, it was extremely painful for Wang Lin. At the same time, a thick intent to kill emerged!

Seeing the opponent retreat without a fight, cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He stepped forward to pursue. At the same time, he slapped his Storage Pouch with his right hand, and the Kunji Whip was immediately in his hand.

Holding this whip, Wang Lin swung it suddenly while in pursuit. Several snapping sounds echoed in the Void Realm. The whip immediately extended like a black Dragon, moving through the world, and lashed out wildly toward the man in black ahead.

The man in black looked grim. He turned around abruptly and reached out with his right hand to grab the whip, shouting, "You don't know what's good for you. Fine, today I, Luo, will teach you a lesson on behalf of your Master!"

On his right hand, the moment he grabbed toward the whip, bright red dots appeared on his fingertips. As he waved his right hand, these five red dots seemed to move, filled with an eerie color.

At this moment, if viewed from afar, it seemed as if it were not the man in black's hand moving, but the five blood-red dots.

His right hand was as fast as lightning, directly grabbing the wildly lashing Kunji Whip. The moment he grasped the whip, the red dots on his five fingers immediately emitted dazzling light. Under the crisscrossing of this light, it was as if the five red dots were connected to each other, forming a five-star web like a Seal!

"Seal!" the man in black growled.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Wang Lin's mouth. Instead of worrying about the Kunji Whip, he took a step, his entire figure flashing out, teleporting toward the man in black.

Almost at the instant Wang Lin teleported, which was the very moment the man in black grabbed the whip, his growl having just left his lips, a black light flashed from the tip of the Kunji Whip and spread across the entire whip at an unimaginable speed.

At the same time, the moment the black light spread to the man in black's right hand, he suddenly let out a miserable groan. A hissing sound came from his right hand, and plumes of white smoke emitted from where he was gripping it.

The man in black immediately let go, his eyes filled with shock. He knew that his Blood-Colored Five Kills was a top-tier Spell among restriction techniques. Once cast, it specifically sealed the enemy's Magic Treasure. In all his years of cultivation, this technique had never failed once when used, but this was the first time.

The moment he let go, all Battle Intent vanished from his heart. His body retreated, intending to teleport away again. But at this moment, the Kunji Whip suddenly swung, lashing out at a complex angle. With a crisp snapping sound, the man in black was struck by the whip while retreating.

With that strike, his face immediately turned pale, but his eyes revealed a strange light unlike anything before.

"A Magic Treasure that specifically harms the Primordial Spirit!!"

The man in black took a deep breath, not stopping at all, and rushed out. However, the moment he retreated, the Void Realm distorted, and Wang Lin teleported over, completely catching up to him.

The man in black's eyes flashed. He snorted coldly and opened his mouth to spray out a stream of black Qi. Once this black Qi appeared, it immediately swirled wildly, directly enveloping Wang Lin's body.

After doing this, the man in black did not stop at all. He immediately flashed away, diving into the howling waves of Demonic Qi surrounding him, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Wang Lin appeared, he was enveloped by the black mist sprayed from the man in black's mouth. This black mist contained deadly poison. Wang Lin swept it with his Divine Sense and immediately felt a stinging sensation.

He did not hesitate, forming Hand Seals with his right hand and softly uttering, "Wind!"

With this word, a strange wind came out of thin air, blowing away the clouds and wind, forcefully tearing an opening in the black mist. As soon as the opening appeared, it immediately closed, but in that moment of closing, Wang Lin's figure turned into green smoke and rushed out quickly.

After he appeared, he felt quite wary of this man in black. The man's Spells were endless, and he clearly had Magic Treasures he hadn't used yet. The reason he retreated was likely because he was intimidated by Wang Lin's reputation, knowing that Wang Lin had once fought a Soul Transformation Cultivator—and although defeated, he possessed countless Magic Treasures.

"Although I don't know which School this person belongs to, since he can enter this place, he must be a local of Tian Yun Star. As such, he likely knows that all direct Disciples of the Heavenly Fate Child possess life-saving Magic Treasures. This is no secret. Given this person's cunning, he probably thought through a lot the moment he recognized my identity. He knew it wouldn't be easy to kill me, which is why he retreated!"

"This person cannot be left alive!" Cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes as he pursued closely.

The two of them, one after the other, shuttled wildly through the waves of Demonic Qi in the dark night.

Inside the waves of Demonic Qi, the deeper one went, the more high-Rank Demonic spirits appeared. These Demonic spirits could transform into thousands of shapes, but the one thing that remained constant was the horn on their heads.

Depending on the number of horns, the strength of these Demonic spirits varied significantly.

The place where Wang Lin and the man in black were located was not the center of the waves of Demonic Qi, but rather at the edge. Therefore, the Rank of the Demonic spirits here was not too high, which was also the reason why the man in black could survive and absorb Demonic Power within it.

As the two of them sped along, Demonic spirits would often manifest. These Demonic spirits were of low Rank, and often, as soon as they appeared, they were immediately destroyed by the two with a wave of their hands.

Every time a Demonic spirit perished, a strand of Demonic Qi would be absorbed by the person who killed it.

While running, the man in black frowned deeply. He suddenly twisted his body strangely to the side, his whole body bending away as if he had no bones. At this moment, a black light flashed past, skimming right against his body.

The man in black snorted coldly, his body returning to normal. He swept with his Divine Sense, and Wang Lin was still pursuing him relentlessly from behind.

"Stubborn fool. This Wang Lin is like a bone stuck in my marrow; he is such a nuisance. Especially that curved saber—its speed is too fast. If I hadn't been prepared, I would surely have suffered! If not for the fact that this guy must have Magic Treasures to protect himself, I wouldn't care who he is today; I would definitely kill him and swallow his Demonic Crystal!" The man in black's face was grim. He snorted coldly and formed Hand Seals with both hands. As his hands moved, the waves of Demonic Qi around his body scattered, as if they dared not approach.

On his hands, wisps of black smoke appeared out of thin air, swirling around them. He took a deep breath and pressed his right hand against his chest. The moment his palm pressed against his chest, the black smoke swirling around his right hand immediately rushed wildly into his chest through his palm.

The man in black's face showed a pained expression, and bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes. His entire person looked extremely ferocious at this moment, as if he were enduring great agony.

As the black smoke on his right hand continuously drilled into him, he finally could not hold back and roared toward the sky.

His voice shook the heavens and earth. Under his roar, the waves of Demonic Qi around his body were forcefully pushed back hundreds of feet. At this moment, if one were to look down from the sky, one could clearly see that within a hundred feet around the man in black, it had become a vacuum of Demonic Qi.

The waves of Demonic Qi, which had been howling like ten thousand galloping horses, were forcefully scattered here, revealing a blank space a hundred feet wide.

At this moment, Wang Lin pursued and arrived. His body stopped at the edge, a hundred feet away, his gaze cold as he looked over from afar.

The man in black stood at the center of the hundred-foot space, looked up abruptly, stared at Wang Lin, and slowly said, "You are courting death!" As he spoke, he raised his left hand, pointing at Wang Lin in the Void Realm. On his left hand, strands of black smoke rapidly swirled, resembling countless tentacles.

"Demonic Seal, Fourth Heavenly Ghost, appear!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the pained expression on his face deepened, and more bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes. Even blue veins suddenly bulged high on his skin, with bumps moving across it, looking quite eerie.

It was as if countless strange powers were surging wildly from his chest, flowing directly down his right arm into his left arm. The tentacle-like black smoke on his left hand now began to squirm strangely, and at an extremely fast speed, it actually transformed into a black ghost shadow.

This ghost shadow manifested on his left hand and immediately roared toward the sky, but no sound came out. This silent roar caused the surrounding waves of Demonic Qi to be pushed back another few dozen feet.

Wang Lin immediately retreated. This sound could not be heard by the naked ear, but his Primordial Spirit could clearly feel the roar that sought to tear the heavens and earth apart.

"Release!" the man in black growled. Although it was just one word, there was a faint tremor in it, showing how much pain he was enduring right now.

With this word, the ghost shadow on his left hand moved, drifting away from his hand. The ghost shadow's eyes emitted a thick, eerie light as it stared fixedly at Wang Lin. With a grimace, it lunged rapidly at an incredible speed.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed. With a thought, his Immortal Sword appeared before him with a whistle. With a slash, the Sword Light shot out, but when it landed on the ghost shadow, the ghost shadow immediately opened its large mouth and swallowed the Sword Light in one bite.

As for the curved saber, it flickered and passed through the ghost shadow's body, having no effect at all. Even when attacking the man in black's main body, the opponent was now emitting countless black threads from outside his body, which spread thickly and completely surrounded his body, preventing the curved saber from flying in.
