Chapter 524: Annihilation

The ghostly shadow rushed forward. Wang Lin’s expression was grim. Without a word, he immediately opened his mouth and spat out a streak of black light. This black light flashed and instantly transformed into a three-zhang large banner, which Wang Lin grabbed. As he shook it in front of him, the few remaining main souls inside, including the Qilin remnant soul, immediately whistled out.

The rushing Ghost Shadow paused for a moment, but immediately its eyes flashed with a brilliant dark light. It surprisingly stopped lunging at Wang Lin and instead headed straight for these Nascent Soul Transformation main souls.

Wang Lin's eyes flickered. His body moved, bypassing the Ghost Shadow directly. He swept his right hand across his Storage Pouch, and the Beast-Taming Ring appeared in his grasp. After tossing it up, he raised his right hand and pointed his index finger toward the Black-robed Man!

The Black-robed Man's expression sank. He grabbed toward the Ghost Shadow in the Void Realm with his left hand and shouted, "Come back!"

The Ghost Shadow roared, seemingly extremely unwilling. The Black-robed Man cursed inwardly. He had no time to continue controlling it now, because Wang Lin's figure was approaching rapidly, like a bolt of lightning.

The moment Wang Lin's right index finger pointed into the Void Realm, the Immortal Power within his body suddenly reversed, transforming and condensing at his fingertip!

Demon Transformation Finger!

The second of the three Killing Moves!

With a single finger point, the weather changed drastically. Endless Devilish Qi surged directly out of Wang Lin's body and condensed at his fingertip. At this moment, the surrounding Devilish Qi spread wildly.

Without the Black-robed Man's control, the Ghost Shadow immediately rushed toward the main souls released by Wang Lin. In its eyes, these soul bodies were all excellent supplements; if it devoured them all, its Ghostly Power might greatly increase.

"Demon Transformation Finger!" The Black-robed Man recognized this Killing Move instantly. When Wang Lin used this move to fight the Fourth Elder of the Purple Lineage back then, that battle left a deep impression on all spectators.

The Black-robed Man's eyes flickered. His right hand could not leave his chest, or the Ghost Shadow Technique would be broken. In this moment of crisis, he quickly retreated and opened his mouth to spit out another mass of Black Mist.

Waves of foul wind drifted past, and this black Poisonous Mist immediately spread out, attempting to block Wang Lin's path.

Wang Lin let out a cold snort. Two gray Runes immediately flickered above his brow, instantly extending to cover the rest of his body. The Brand of Life manifested once more.

The moment the coverage was complete, Wang Lin's figure was like electricity, charging directly into the Poisonous Mist. He pierced through it like a Dragon swimming into the sea. The poisonous mist would often dissipate the instant it touched Wang Lin's body.

The Black-robed Man continuously retreated. The Poisonous Mist from his mouth seemed endless, spitting out in large quantities to try and stop Wang Lin's charge. Meanwhile, he flashed his body and instantly teleported away, heading straight for the location of the released Ghost Shadow.

However, he never expected that this Natal Poisonous Mist would have such a minimal effect on Wang Lin. Almost immediately after he teleported, Wang Lin's figure penetrated large swaths of the poisonous mist and charged out directly, followed by his right index finger, which was extremely sharp and contained boundless Devilish Qi!

Demon Transformation Finger!

The Black-robed Man's expression changed. Unable to dodge, he immediately raised his left hand, quickly performed Hand Seals, and pointed forward as well, attempting to mitigate the force of Wang Lin's attack!

The two fingers met in an instant, though they did not actually make complete contact; there was only a three-cun gap between them!

Within these three cun, there was a Universe of its own!

Wang Lin's Devilish Qi spread out from his fingertip and immediately collided with the Black Aura shooting out from the Black-robed Man's fingertip. Suddenly, a deep black sphere appeared between their two fingers.

This sphere was composed entirely of Devilish Qi and the Black Aura emitted by the Black-robed Man. Rumbles like thunder continuously emanated from within it, and streaks of electric light constantly moved across its surface.

At this moment, it was as if everything between heaven and earth had solidified, and all light had converged upon Wang Lin and the Black-robed Man.

Wang Lin stood in the Void Realm, his clothes moving without wind, and his long hair, in particular, flowed freely.

In contrast, the Black-robed Man had a grim expression and eyes like lightning. He stood on the ground, raising his left hand, his entire set of clothes being pulled backward as if struck by a fierce headwind, making rustling sounds. Even his hair drifted backward.

The rumbling sound inside the sphere between their fingertips grew increasingly intense. The Immortal Power within Wang Lin's body furiously transformed into Devilish Qi, continuously pouring into the sphere.

As for the Black-robed Man, he was secretly complaining inwardly. At this moment, he had no choice but to pour all the Ghost Immortal Qi he had Cultivated into the sphere via his finger. Otherwise, if the opponent overwhelmed him, he would immediately suffer a backlash.

"With your mere Immortal Power at the Nascent Soul Transformation Middle Stage, I refuse to believe you have more than me, who is at the Nascent Soul Transformation Late Stage Great Perfection! Since you want to confront me like this, let's see who lives and who dies!" The Black-robed Man's face was ferocious. He did not speak aloud but frantically transmitted Divine Thought.

"Your Sky Ghost has been released, and with it absorbing your Immortal Power, how can you fight against me!" Wang Lin's eyes were like torches as he responded via Divine Thought.

The Black-robed Man let out a cold snort, staring at Wang Lin. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly lifted his right hand from his chest. The moment he lifted it, the Sky Ghost, which was currently circling the main souls and trying to devour them, immediately roared, spun around abruptly, and stared intently at the Black-robed Man.

The Black-robed Man's right hand paused, but he immediately lifted it fiercely from his chest. The instant he raised it, streaks of Black Filaments appeared between his chest and right hand, stretching out very long, like sticky threads.

The moment he raised his right hand, the Sky Ghost roared, its voice filled with unwillingness. Its figure gradually began to dissipate. But just as the Sky Ghost was about to vanish completely, a dark light flashed in its eyes. It carefully glanced at the Black-robed Man's current state, then looked at Wang Lin, who was confronting him. It seemed to have made some decision. Before its body could dissipate, streaks of black light immediately flashed out from within its body.

The Black-robed Man's expression changed. Just then, the black light within the Sky Ghost surged massively. Its entire body, wrapped in the black light, surprisingly stopped dissipating. At this moment, the Sky Ghost immediately turned around, charged out directly, penetrated the Demonic Spirit Wave, and sped away into the distance.

As for the main souls, they flashed and immediately chased after it.

This scene unfolded incredibly quickly, so fast that the Black-robed Man was stunned. But immediately, he began to roar frantically, his eyes bloodshot. He suddenly fixed his gaze on Wang Lin and shouted, "It's all because of you! If you hadn't restrained me right now, how could that Sky Ghost have escaped!!"

Wang Lin's gaze was icy. He said, "Serves you right!"

Killing intent surged in the Black-robed Man's eyes. He said ferociously, "You Little Bastard, you are dead!" He took a deep breath. Without the Sky Ghost absorbing it, the Ghost Immortal Power he had Cultivated from his entire School's Cultivation Technique now poured wildly into the sphere through his finger.

"Wang Lin, die!!!" Following this man's loud shout, he poured nearly ninety percent of the Ghost Immortal Power within his body wildly into the sphere. Instantly, the sound of thunder within the sphere shocked the heavens and earth, as if what was condensed between their two fingers was not a mortal object, but the legendary Heavenly Tribulation Immortal Lightning.

As the Black-robed Man's Ghost Immortal Power fused in, Wang Lin's Immortal Power immediately became insufficient. The sphere slowly began moving toward Wang Lin with an overwhelming advantage.

A ferocious look appeared on the Black-robed Man's face. He seemed to see Wang Lin being struck by the sphere, his entire body collapsing under the blast, his flesh and blood turning into fragments, and even his Primordial Spirit ceasing to exist, directly shattered and dispersed, disappearing forever between heaven and earth, without any possibility of Reincarnation!

Severing vitality, destroying Reincarnation, annihilating all traces!

But just then, the Black-robed Man was startled, because when he looked at Wang Lin, what he saw in Wang Lin's eyes was surprisingly not fear—

—nor indifference, but a strange expression, a half-smile, a look of mockery… This expression caused his mind to tremble.

Wang Lin didn't even glance at the sphere. He softly uttered, "God-Slaying Chariot, open!"

The moment these words left his mouth, almost instantly, a roar that pierced the heavens and earth erupted from the spot where Wang Lin had previously tossed the Beast-Taming Ring nearby. This sound conveyed a sense of Indomitable Will.

It was like an Ancient Giant Beast, daring to fight the heavens, daring to swallow Immortals, never yielding in this life!

The Black-robed Man's expression instantly changed drastically!

Along with the sound appeared the Soul Beast's enormous body. Almost immediately after it materialized, it began roaring frantically again.

Wang Lin shouted, "Kill this man!"

The Soul Beast roared, revealing a chilling glint in its eyes, and stared intently at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was already prepared for the fact that this beast was frequently disobedient. He gave a cold snort and softly uttered a single word.

This word was complex and difficult to understand; outsiders who heard it would not grasp its meaning. But this word was one of the Nine True Words that Wang Lin learned from the Immortal's Jade Slip after inheriting the treasure!

These Nine True Words were specifically prepared to control this beast. For every Seal opened, one True Word could be mastered!

When an Immortal Refines a Treasure, how could they allow the treasure to backlash? They must have made all necessary preparations beforehand!

Under the influence of the single word, this Indomitable Beast couldn't help but tremble. With fierce light flickering in its eyes, it immediately looked at the Black-robed Man. It roared, as if venting all its rage onto this person, and charged straight out.

Everything, from the Soul Beast's appearance until it began its attack, happened within a very short time.

The Soul Beast roared, moving faster than lightning as it rushed toward the Black-robed Man.

The Black-robed Man's expression changed more drastically than ever before. He was currently fully activating the Ghost Immortal Power within his body and could not dodge at all. If he dodged, the destructive sphere would immediately backlash!

But now, the ferocious Soul Beast was charging to devour him. Not dodging meant death. Cold sweat streamed down the Black-robed Man's face. He fiercely gritted his teeth, shot a malicious glance at Wang Lin, and raised his left hand with extreme speed, slamming it heavily onto his glabella.

His entire body suddenly trembled, and his Primordial Spirit instantly departed his body, flashing frantically toward the distance in desperation.

The moment his Primordial Spirit left his body, the man's Physical Body, devoid of Primordial Spirit control, fell directly to the ground like a corpse. The sphere, which had been moving toward Wang Lin, immediately paused, and then, at extreme speed, charged directly toward the Black-robed Man's Physical Body.
