Chapter 525: Soul Searching Technique

"Boom! Boom!"

Violent sounds suddenly rang out madly. The small orb landed directly on the black-clad man's Physical Body. The clothes on his Physical Body instantly vanished, his skin immediately collapsed, his flesh turned into fly ash, and his bones shattered into nothingness. In the blink of an eye, aside from his Primordial Spirit, every trace of his existence in this world was completely gone.

The Soul Beast missed its target and let out an unwilling roar. It wanted to chase after the fleeing Primordial Spirit of the black-clad man, but due to the Restrictions of the God-Slaying Chariot, it could not leave too far away, so it could only roar in frustration.

Wang Lin grabbed the God-Slaying Chariot from the void with his right hand. With a movement of his body, he sped off into the distance. The Soul Beast was immediately overjoyed, passing through Wang Lin and rapidly chasing ahead.

One man and one beast; this was the first time they had cooperated so closely. With Wang Lin holding the God-Slaying Chariot, the Soul Beast's range of movement was immediately greatly increased.

After chasing for a short while, the Soul Beast grew impatient. It turned its massive head to look at Wang Lin, let out a low growl, and its massive body flickered as it rushed straight toward Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's expression remained normal, but the pupils of his eyes constricted.

Seeing the Soul Beast moving at extreme speed and arriving right in front of him, a cold glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes as he stared at the beast. If it took another step forward, he would punish it without hesitation.

The Soul Beast paused in its approach, a trace of dejection appearing in its eyes.

Wang Lin's heart stirred, and the cold glint in his eyes vanished. He nodded at the Soul Beast. The Soul Beast's massive head glanced at Wang Lin, and with a flicker of its body, it lunged forward. It was not attacking; instead, it curled its body around Wang Lin, tossed him upward, and then moved again to land beneath Wang Lin's feet. It directly carried him and flashed away into the distance like lightning.

Wang Lin suppressed his joy. This was the first time the Soul Beast had voluntarily carried him while flying. The Immortal who made the God-Slaying Chariot had left words in the jade slip: this God-Slaying Chariot was not an ordinary Magic Treasure. Even if the Incantations and true words used to operate it were extremely flexible, if one could not truly gain the Soul Beast's approval, one could only unleash a portion of its power.

Only by truly gaining the Soul Beast's approval could its full power be unleashed.

Wang Lin took a deep breath and looked down at the Soul Beast beneath his feet.

"This beast doesn't approve of me right now; it's just eager to swallow that Primordial Spirit and thinks I'm too slow, which is why it's carrying me. But even so, this is much better than before!"

The Soul Beast's speed was naturally extremely fast. It could even be said that its speed was not inferior to when Wang Lin used the Silver Dragon Star Compass in the starry sky.

Amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, the Soul Beast turned into afterimages, vanishing into the distance at an incredible speed.

The black-clad man's Primordial Spirit was fleeing at full speed. In his Primordial Spirit's Dantian, there was a crystal the size of a small finger, with traces of Demonic Power slowly diffusing from it.

As he fled, his hatred for Wang Lin was monstrous. He swore that once he found a Physical Body for Possession and recovered his cultivation, he would do everything in his power to cruelly kill Wang Lin to avenge this grudge!

Just as he was fleeing, his expression suddenly changed. He looked back abruptly and saw the Soul Beast, like a soul-reaping Yama, breaking through the void and chasing closely behind.

The black-clad man's Primordial Spirit showed panic. Just as he was about to change direction to escape, the Soul Beast roared. Its voice was like an invisible sharp sword, piercing through space and spreading out.

The black-clad man's Primordial Spirit trembled suddenly. Its speed involuntarily stalled. With this pause, the Soul Beast was already upon him. Greed appeared in the beast's eyes; it knew that as long as it devoured this Primordial Spirit, it would definitely increase its strength. Once its strength increased enough, it would have a chance to break free from this cage and be free and unfettered from then on!

With this thought, the Soul Beast exerted all its effort. It lunged to swallow him in one bite, bringing with it a foul wind. This wind was a Soul Wind; under its blow, the black-clad man's Primordial Spirit immediately stiffened. If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul without a Physical Body, it would have lost all power of resistance under this wind.

But the black-clad man was not a Nascent Soul, but a Primordial Spirit. Furthermore, his Primordial Spirit was at the Late Stage Great Perfection of Nascent Soul Transformation, a powerful Primordial Spirit about to step into Soul Transformation.

As a result, although this wind was effective, it could not completely freeze the black-clad man. His expression changed drastically, and his body moved at an impossible angle. Just as the Soul Beast was about to swallow him, he rushed out, preparing to use a damage-to-soul technique that would permanently prevent recovery, regardless of the cost to his Primordial Spirit essence, to escape.

Just at this moment, Wang Lin moved. He did not move his body, but the Kunji Whip!

The whip shadow was like a ghost. With one lash, the black-clad man's Primordial Spirit was immediately wrapped by the whip, dragged back to Wang Lin's hand, and imprisoned within a Soul Banner.

The Soul Beast was instantly furious. It shook its body and suddenly turned its head to swallow Wang Lin in one bite. In its eyes, the food it had obtained had been snatched away by someone, and its level of anger was no less than when it was sealed and refined by the Immortal back then.

Wang Lin sighed inwardly. His gaze turned cold, and he spat out a single word!

Under this word, the Soul Beast's eyes instantly turned red, and it roared in anger. A moment later, it glared fiercely at Wang Lin before its massive body returned directly to the God-Slaying Chariot.

The moment its body returned to the God-Slaying Chariot, it did not give Wang Lin any time. The God-Slaying Chariot instantly turned into the Beast-Taming Ring with a bang, automatically flying to Wang Lin's feet. A massive suction force immediately surged wildly from the Beast-Taming Ring.

Wang Lin gave a bitter smile. This Soul Beast was quite a headache when it threw a tantrum. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, patted his Storage Pouch with his right hand, and grabbed Immortal Jade to resist the suction of the Beast-Taming Ring.

This time, the Beast-Taming Ring absorbed much more Immortal energy than usual, which showed the extent of the Soul Beast's anger.

Although absorbing Immortal energy was a side effect after the Beast-Taming Ring used its Divine Ability, after a long time of Fusion with the ring, the Soul Beast had gained some control over it, though this control was limited, at most allowing it to increase the amount of Immortal energy absorbed.

After a long time, Wang Lin took a deep breath. The suction from the Beast-Taming Ring slowly disappeared; apparently, the Soul Beast was unable to maintain the control and could only give up unwillingly.

Putting away the Beast-Taming Ring, a bitter smile appeared on Wang Lin's face. He sighed, sat down to meditate again, and gradually replenished all the Immortal energy in his body before opening his eyes once more.

"This Soul Beast…" Wang Lin shook his head. The sky was already brightening, and the waves of Demonic Spiritual Qi that had lasted all night had gradually disappeared.

Wang Lin stood up, patted his Storage Pouch, and took out the Soul Banner that imprisoned the black-clad man's Primordial Spirit. With a shake, the man's Primordial Spirit flew out. Wang Lin's right hand moved like lightning, grabbing the Primordial Spirit instantly.

At the same time, the Immortal energy in Wang Lin's body turned into threads, which traveled along his right hand and directly drilled into the man's Primordial Spirit, forming a Restriction. If the other party wanted to self-destruct, this Restriction could serve to alleviate it.

Although he could not completely Seal the other party's self-destruction due to cultivation differences, Wang Lin could know in advance and Seal the other party in the Soul Banner before they self-destructed.

"I am not reconciled!!! If you didn't have that Soul Beast Magic Treasure, if you didn't have those Primordial Spirits and souls to attract the Heavenly Ghosts, you would not be my opponent in today's battle at all. You would definitely die!!!" The black-clad man's Primordial Spirit roared immediately, the malicious look in his eyes extremely intense.

He knew deeply that having been caught, he would definitely not survive. The Restriction in his body also let him know that self-destruction was likely hopeless, so he simply vented to his heart's content.

"What is a Demon Crystal?" Wang Lin didn't waste words with him and asked directly.

The black-clad man's Primordial Spirit sneered and said: "Shameless person! You first forced me to fight you, then released your Magic Treasure when I was using my full strength, forcing me to have my Primordial Spirit leave my body. Is this what the Tian Yun Sect does!"

Wang Lin frowned and squeezed with his right hand. Immediately, the Primordial Spirit's face showed pain, screaming repeatedly, and immediately withered, but the malice in his eyes became even stronger.

"I, Luo Yun, am a person of the Heavenly Ghost Dao. I Cultivate the Heavenly Ghost Dao and have my own protective Ghost Spirit. If you kill me, my Master, the Ghost Immortal Master, will definitely know. He will definitely avenge me! Even the Heavenly Fate Child has to treat my Master as an equal when they meet. Wang Lin, you better think clearly!!!" The Primordial Spirit sneered, looking at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin looked at this person coldly, feeling slightly impatient. He simply slapped the Luo Yun Primordial Spirit with his left hand. Under this slap, the Primordial Spirit, having lost its Physical Body, nearly dissipated and immediately became extremely weak.

"My Master will not let you go!!!" The malice in Luo Yun's eyes reached its limit.

A cold glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He pressed his left hand on the top of the person's Primordial Spirit and spat out: "Soul Searching!"

The Soul Searching Technique had many Restrictions, but with Wang Lin's current cultivation, using Immortal energy to operate this technique was not difficult. Coupled with the fact that this person's Primordial Spirit was extremely weak, there were no obstacles when executing it.

Bursts of shrill screams came from Luo Yun's Primordial Spirit. The Soul Searching Technique was one of the most tyrannical and morally damaging Divine Abilities. If one had a Physical Body, the pain would be slightly less, but if it were used directly on a Nascent Soul or Primordial Spirit, the pain would be magnified several times over.

Luo Yun's screams slowly weakened. After a stick of incense, there was almost no sound. His entire Primordial Spirit had now become almost transparent.

Wang Lin raised his left hand, passed it directly through Luo Yun's Primordial Spirit, and reached into its Dantian position. When he withdrew his hand, there was a crystal in it.

Wang Lin wore a thoughtful expression. He put Luo Yun's weak Primordial Spirit into the Soul Banner. Wang Lin had a use for this Luo Yun Primordial Spirit; he intended to refine this Primordial Spirit into one of the main souls of the Soul Banner.

After putting the Soul Banner into his Storage Pouch, Wang Lin moved his body, turning into a thunderbolt, and sped off into the distance. The direction he was heading was the direction the main soul had gone to chase the Heavenly Ghost.

"So there is such a mystery within this Demon Spirit Land. No wonder Ouyang Hua mentioned that every time outsiders enter here, it causes a bloody storm…"

"Heavenly Ghost Dao… Although what this Luo Yun said was exaggerated, there was some truth to it. However, this matter is 500 years later; there is no need to keep it in mind now. This Heavenly Ghost Dao's Cultivation Technique is actually quite interesting. Additionally, I can Cultivate several of the Demon Restrictions in this Luo Yun's memory!"

As for those who say I don't keep my promises, saying this and that, you all go find a corner and draw circles. I have made up for the promise of the 17th, hahaha.
