Chapter 550: Three Runes Merge into One

After clearly seeing the rune, when Wang Lin turned his head, the Imprint of Life had already dissipated. His expression was normal, revealing nothing.

Yao Xixue was already far away, and Wang Lin followed, walking forward at a leisurely pace.

The rune he had just seen kept appearing in his mind. The trajectory of this rune had similarities with the three-stroke rune in Yao Xixue's eyes, and was even identical to the golden rune in his own eyes.

While walking, Wang Lin raised his right hand and his gaze fell on his palm. Inside his palm, the six-stroke rune appeared once more.

"This rune is quite interesting. This single-stroke rune seems to be a foundation; whether it's Yao Xixue's three-stroke rune or the six-stroke rune in my eyes, both contain this rune!"

His eyes flashed. He waved his right hand casually, drawing that single-stroke rune in the Void Realm. His fingers contained immortal energy, but after drawing the rune, there was no reaction from the immortal energy within his body.

Wang Lin pondered for a moment, memorizing the rune, and then stopped thinking about it. Instead, a strange light appeared in his eyes as he looked far ahead at Yao Xixue.

"This woman has a Blood Soul Pill. Even if I were to launch a sneak attack, she could still resurrect. Killing her would be somewhat difficult…"

Seven days later, in front of this Dragon path, another platform appeared. The size of this platform was almost exactly the same as the previous two, and in the very center of the platform, there was also a stone statue.

Even the appearance of this stone statue was similar to the previous ones; the only difference was that in the center of this stone statue's forehead, there was a half-closed Third Eye!

At the end, Yao Xixue looked back at Wang Lin. Although she did not speak, her thoughts were expressed through her actions.

Wang Lin was not a person who dragged his feet. He knew that now was not the time to have a falling out with the other party; at the very least, he had to wait until he had fully understood everything here.

He stepped forward, directly passing Yao Xixue, and arrived on the platform. The moment he entered the platform, he immediately closed his eyes. At the same time, the Imprint of Life immediately condensed on his eyes, forming a Seal that sealed his eyes shut.

After doing all this, he stepped onto the platform. Sealing his eyes with the Imprint of Life was an experiment for Wang Lin; he wanted to see if the golden rune could penetrate through.

The golden rune did not penetrate, but the moment Wang Lin landed on the platform, the stone statue shuddered, opened its eyes, revealed a fierce light, and roared as it stepped forward.

The Imprint of Life immediately dispersed from his eyes to cover his whole body. At the same time, Wang Lin retreated several steps, his body moving like a swimming Dragon, circling around.

The stone statue roared and lunged forward, chasing after Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's expression remained normal. He drew in the Void Realm with his right hand, and amidst flickering blue light, a simple Restriction phantom appeared in his hand. As he moved, he flicked the Restriction in his hand backward. The Restriction immediately grew larger, turning into a few feet of blue light, blocking the path of the chasing stone statue.

The stone statue's body did not pause in the slightest, crashing directly into the Restriction. The Restriction shattered like a broken mirror, immediately breaking into countless pieces and scattering in all directions.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed with interest. Although his previous Restriction was just a test, the Restriction itself was an intangible object. Unless it encountered another Restriction, it would be impossible for it to shatter like that.

"This stone statue must be covered with Restrictions from head to toe. Breaking it with brute force is not the correct method!" Wang Lin performed Hand Seals with both hands, and one Restriction after another turned into blue light, progressing from simple to complex, flashing out from his hands and rapidly approaching the stone statue.

The stone statue roared, leaped forward, and suddenly struck with its right fist. With one punch, countless Restrictions were shattered, and at the same time, a great force was transmitted through the void, heading straight for Wang Lin.

Wang Lin reached into his Storage Pouch, and the Restriction Banner was immediately in his hand. With a shake, the force transmitted from the void was immediately absorbed into the Restriction Banner and disappeared.

Wang Lin's Restriction Banner had long since reached nine hundred and ninety-nine sets after hundreds of years of continuous additions, but what he found strange was that the Heavenly Tribulation had yet to arrive!

These nine hundred and ninety sets of Restrictions were all single attack Restrictions, and when waved, their power was extremely strong.

However, as Wang Lin's cultivation continued to improve, this item was clearly somewhat insufficient. Wang Lin was also thinking about wanting to raise the power of this Restriction Banner by another tier, to make it reach nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sets.

It was just that this nearly tenfold increase required too many single Restrictions, and with Wang Lin's knowledge, he still could not master so many Restrictions.

At this moment, a large number of Restrictions were flickering in his eyes. These Restrictions were constantly combining and splitting in his mind. His speed increased, ensuring the stone statue could never get close.

Every time the stone statue was about to get close, Wang Lin would wave the Restriction Banner in his hand, and a large number of Restrictions would roar out, forming walls of Restrictions to block the stone statue's steps.

The stone statue was blocked several times and immediately roared, its sound earth-shattering. It simply stopped chasing and stood on the spot, stomping its large foot down. Amidst a rumbling sound, the entire platform immediately shook. At the same time, as Wang Lin moved, stone spikes like sharp swords suddenly shot out from the ground.

Wang Lin had long been secretly guarding against the other party's Divine Ability. At this moment, he performed Hand Seals with both hands and swayed his body, avoiding the sharp spikes under his feet.

But these sharp spikes were like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, appearing one after another. In the blink of an eye, sharp spikes were crazily shooting out all over the platform. Almost instantly, except for the center position, the entire platform was covered in stone spikes.

Wang Lin shot up into the sky. While in mid-air, the Restriction deduction in his eyes flashed even faster. His gaze never moved away from the stone statue for even a second. As he deduced, his eyes suddenly brightened. At this moment, the image of the stone statue changed drastically in his eyes!

In his eyes, this was no stone statue at all, but clearly a Restriction object formed by one Restriction after another stacked together. There was no place on this stone statue that wasn't a Restriction!

Just as Wang Lin saw the essence of the stone statue, the sharp spikes on the platform immediately broke from their roots at the stomp of the stone statue's large foot. They shot up from the ground like rootless sharp spikes, and like a rain of stone spikes, they rushed toward Wang Lin in mid-air as if ten thousand spikes were fired at once.

With Wang Lin's cultivation, if he used a Magic Treasure or unleashed his three killing moves to destroy this stone statue, he definitely would not have wasted so much time. But Wang Lin's goal was not to forcibly destroy it, but to understand it thoroughly.

Right now, the incoming sharp spikes were, in Wang Lin's eyes, transformed from various Restrictions. As long as they were Restrictions, he had no fear at all. It could be said that from the moment Wang Lin started Core Formation, he had been studying Restrictions, and regarding his understanding of Restrictions, apart from those Old Monsters who had lived for ten thousand years, no ordinary person could compare to him!

His expression was normal. He waved his Restriction Banner with his right hand, and immediately countless Restrictions roared out. These Restrictions were arranged according to a strange combination within Wang Lin's mind. Sweeping across, the ten thousand stone spikes rushing from the ground were immediately integrated into them, ruthlessly broken down, and turned into a part of the Restrictions.

The Restriction Banner absorbed these Restrictions, and its momentum immediately increased greatly.

Wang Lin's gaze focused, and his body immediately descended. He pointed his right hand into the void, and immediately the Restrictions within the Restriction Banner, like a whirlwind, immediately wrapped around the stone statue.

Before Wang Lin's body landed, it immediately turned into a trail of green smoke, moving in the opposite direction to the rotation of the Restrictions, immediately circling the stone statue. As he circled, he constantly waved his hands, and new Restrictions immediately appeared and integrated into it.

Looking from afar, the stone statue on the platform was currently surrounded by countless Restrictions. No matter how it struggled or roared, those Restrictions were like they were omnipresent, constantly striking outside its body and entering its interior along the stone crevices.

"Break! Break! Break! Break!" While moving, Wang Lin suddenly paused and let out four loud shouts!

These four loud shouts immediately caused the countless Restrictions rotating outside the stone statue to swarm in. The stone statue's body was seen changing crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye, constantly collapsing.

This stone statue was originally composed of Restrictions. Now that the Restrictions making up its body had collapsed, as they constantly fell off and were broken, the stone statue's body immediately shrank layer by layer.

At the critical moment, the stone statue immediately let out a violent roar, and the Third Eye on its forehead suddenly opened. Immediately, a golden light flashed out from its Third Eye.

With a flash, the Restrictions Wang Lin had unleashed were forcibly pushed back and dissolved on a large scale!

A strange light appeared in Wang Lin's eyes. The moment the golden light shone, he immediately saw a golden rune within the stone statue's Third Eye!

This rune was composed of two strokes!

"Restrict!" Wang Lin roared, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood, which landed on the Restrictions in front of him. Having absorbed his blood, those Restrictions immediately rushed forward again, constantly dissolving with the golden light.

Two breaths later, the golden light in the stone statue's Third Eye dissipated. At this instant, the stone statue was immediately covered by endless Restrictions. It shuddered, the ruthless light in its eyes dissipated, replaced by a gray dimness.

Following this, its body collapsed suddenly. In that collapse, one Restriction after another rushed out from its body, turning into black Qi, crazily surging in all directions. The entire area inside and outside the platform immediately became a world of black Qi.

Amidst this black Qi, a golden rune flashed out and was about to disappear into the void. At this moment, Wang Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He subconsciously raised his right hand and, with one stroke of his index finger, drew a rune. This rune was exactly the one on the stone statue inside the first layer of the Seal.

After finishing the first stroke, Wang Lin did not pause, but directly drew another stroke on top of that rune. As these two strokes intersected, they immediately formed the golden rune Wang Lin had just seen in the stone statue's Third Eye!

The moment this rune appeared, the rune that had flown out from the stone statue's body and was about to drift away immediately changed direction and headed straight for Wang Lin. With a speed exceeding lightning, it printed directly onto the rune Wang Lin had formed, fusing with each other, becoming indistinguishable!

A strange light appeared in Wang Lin's eyes. His index finger did not stop, and he drew another stroke! As this stroke fell, it immediately formed the three-stroke rune from Yao Xixue's eyes!

— Seeing everyone's words of comfort, Er Gen gritted his teeth and finished writing this chapter. Today, at least, I didn't miss an update!
