Chapter 584: Soul Transformation Crystal

At this moment, the phantom figure, just like Wang Lin, also had its eyes tightly shut!

As Wang Lin ascended, the five old men on the ground were immediately dumbfounded. They stared intently at the phantom figure behind Wang Lin, their faces showing expressions of extreme reverence.

"It really is the Old Ancestor!"

"The Old Ancestor has appeared. Could this person be the one the Old Ancestor has been searching for all this time?"

The five men exchanged glances. Just then, the red clouds in the sky pressed down frantically, not inch by inch, but ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet—in the blink of an eye, a hundred feet had descended!

A tremendous rumbling sound echoed between heaven and earth. The entire Tianyao City not only collapsed but was also completely smashed deep into the ground. Looking down, Tianyao City was no more; the dust couldn't even rise, having all been firmly pressed into the earth!

A massive basin appeared where Tianyao City once stood!

This was not the end. Along the edge of the basin, cracks spread frantically. Amidst sounds of cracking, the ground continued to collapse, and the basin constantly expanded!

The descent of the red clouds and the arrival of Heavenly Might had also not ended. After sinking ten feet, the red clouds did not stop but continued to press down. Looking from afar, the massive swath of red clouds seemed heavy, as if it might drop from the sky at any moment.

The red clouds continuously sank, accompanied by intense rumbling thunder. This sound echoed, resounding throughout heaven and earth.

The rifts in the ground spread frantically. Amidst sounds of cracking, everything within a radius of ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand miles was shattered. The earth collapsed and scattered into fragments, but immediately, these fragments were crushed into fine dust and powder!

The once prosperous Tianyao City was now long gone!

Wang Lin was in mid-air, at the center point of the Heavenly Might's pressure. At the moment this Heavenly Might continuously descended, his body remained motionless, as if he were half asleep!

Just then, Wang Lin seemed to awaken from his slumber. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the instant his eyes opened, the Ancient Demon phantom figure behind him simultaneously opened its Demonic Eyes!

At this moment, Wang Lin's body seemed to be controlled by some strange power. He slowly raised his right hand and pressed it toward the red clouds in the sky. Following his movement, the Ancient Demon behind him likewise raised its massive right hand and pressed it toward the sky.

If one looked closely, they could see that it was not Wang Lin who moved first, but the Ancient Demon who first raised its right hand!

"Destroy the Dao!" The Ancient Demon and Wang Lin spoke simultaneously, but the voice came from Wang Lin's mouth.

Although these two words were faint, the moment they were uttered, a monstrous Demonic Qi suddenly erupted from Wang Lin and the Ancient Demon.

At the same time, Wang Lin's body shot out like a sharp sword, heading straight for the red clouds in the sky. The Ancient Demon behind him moved along with him!

Inside the red clouds in the sky, the sound of thunder roared frantically, like the wrath of heaven. The red clouds rapidly sank, instantly approaching Wang Lin!

With one palm strike, the clouds shattered!

The palm of the Ancient Demon, the palm of Wang Lin, landed on the sinking red clouds. A fierce gale suddenly surged, and the red clouds resembled a…

…furious sea wave, with roars of thunder echoing across the horizon!

Wang Lin's body abruptly retreated from the sky, all the way back to the ground. The instant his feet touched the earth, a massive tremor spread. The edge of the ten-thousand-mile ruin shattered again—this time, it was a hundred thousand miles!

Within a radius of a hundred thousand miles, the earth collapsed!

The Ancient Demon behind Wang Lin also stepped onto the ground the moment Wang Lin landed, though its figure was somewhat ethereal!

Heavenly Might is irreversible. The Ancient Demon, being a second-category Reverse cultivation practitioner who had fought countless Heavenly Tribulations in its lifetime, solidified its body again shortly after.

In the sky, the red clouds dissipated. But just then, the moment the red clouds vanished, a crimson beam, thirty feet thick, suddenly descended instantly from the distant edge of the sky!

The power of this crimson beam was far greater than the previous crimson lightning and Heavenly Tribulation; it was not on the same level at all. The target of this crimson beam was not Wang Lin, but the Ancient Demon phantom figure behind him!

The Ancient Demon and Wang Lin looked up simultaneously. A burst of Demonic Radiance suddenly erupted from the Ancient Demon's eyes!

"Crimson Firmament Cloud Radiance! It has been a long time since I tasted its flavor…" The instant the crimson beam arrived, the Ancient Demon actually leaped out from behind Wang Lin and swallowed the crimson beam in one gulp!

When the crimson beam entered the Ancient Demon's body, the Ancient Demon completely collapsed, but immediately reformed. This cycle of collapse and reformation occurred ten thousand times in the span of just a few breaths!

The Ancient Demon's body was eventually forced down from mid-air, landing on the great earth. Centered around its foot, a circular wave spread frantically. This wave was about thirty feet high, and as it expanded, it instantly covered ten miles, like a great wave washing sand, and it continued to spread!

A tremendous rumbling sound came from the earth. The ground ten miles away completely shattered, and the resulting tremor spread tenfold! Within a million miles, the earth seemed to be overturned at this moment, leaving ruins everywhere!

In the sky, the red clouds completely dissipated, and everything returned to normal!

The Ancient Demon let out a satisfied burp, a look of exhaustion in its eyes. It turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished into the world!

"Three months from now, come meet me at Dragon Pool…" The Ancient Demon's voice was not transmitted into Wang Lin's ears, but spread forth grandly.

The Ancient Demon vanished, and Wang Lin stepped forward, also disappearing from the spot.

A breeze blew past, and the five old men crawled out from the ruins. The five men looked at each other.

"This damn Heavenly Tribulation! Yun Dun, you brat, get your butt over here!" shouted one of the old men.

"Yun Dun, roll over here for your Old Grandfather!"

"If you don't come out within three breaths, I'll throw you into the Dragon Pool and lock you up for a hundred years!"

Once these old men started yelling, they tore their throats, letting out bursts of thunderous roars.

A shadow quickly crawled out from the distant ruins and flew over at extreme speed. Upon hearing the old men's angry shouts, the person showed a bitter smile, gritted his teeth, and with a flash, appeared at the Imperial City Plaza.

"Grandson Yun Dun greets the five Old Ancestor Grandfathers," the person quickly said. He was precisely the young man who had drunk wine with Wang Lin all night on the pleasure boat!

"You scoundrel! Tianyao City is just gone like that! I give you three months to restore this place to its original state, or I'll throw you into the Dragon Pool and lock you up for a hundred years!"

"Two hundred years!"

"Five hundred years!"

"A thousand years!"

"Lock him up for life!" the last old man snorted.

The young man trembled and nodded with a bitter smile, saying, "Five Old Ancestors, please rest assured, your grandson will definitely restore this Ancient Demon City within three months."

"Go find the person the Old Ancestor has taken a liking to, and bring him to the Dragon Pool three months from now!" After the five old men finished speaking, they glanced at the ruins on the ground, flashed, and disappeared.

Wang Lin reappeared ten thousand miles away. The moment he emerged, he immediately swept his Divine Sense around, then took a deep breath, slapped his Storage Pouch with his right hand, and pulled out a Token!

This Token was the item used to enter that mysterious Immortal Cave. Through it, he could enter the Immortal Cave at any time.

Following the incantation recorded inside the Token, Wang Lin continuously struck out Imprints. The Token flashed white light, instantly enveloped Wang Lin, and vanished.

Returning once again to the stone platform connected by the Venerable Beasts, Wang Lin immediately rushed forward the moment he appeared, heading straight for the Immortal Cave.

After the Heavenly Tribulation, Wang Lin immediately realized that his Concept had reached Perfection and was undergoing Fusion with Immortal Qi. This discovery instantly shocked him!

Soul Transformation: If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening!

If anything went wrong during this period, not only would his lifelong cultivation be ruined, but his Primordial Spirit would also collapse. Although he didn't know whether this would affect his Ancient God Body in the outside world, Wang Lin dared not take the risk!

Soul Transformation was a critical hurdle that had to be performed in an extremely safe location to eliminate all external factors and ensure the greatest chance of success!

This Immortal Cave was undoubtedly the best place for Soul Transformation!

Wang Lin's speed was extremely fast. He leaped over platform after platform, finally arriving outside the Immortal Cave, and with a flash, he stepped into the familiar Immortal Cave.

Wang Lin headed directly for the hall where he had discovered the wine pot. After arriving there, he quickly sat down cross-legged, exhaled deeply, and slapped his Storage Pouch. Not much Immortal Jade remained in the Storage Pouch, as Immortal Power loss had been severe after the Heavenly Tribulation battle.

Wang Lin shook his Storage Pouch, and all the Immortal Jade inside immediately flew out, covering the ground around the hall and piling up into small hills.

A large amount of Immortal Qi immediately permeated the surroundings. Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he took out an item from his Storage Pouch!

This was a fingernail-sized piece of red jade. The moment this jade appeared, even the surrounding Immortal Qi paused, as if time had stopped at that moment. A wave of Heavenly Dao Might emanated from within this object.

"Soul Transformation Crystal! Senior Zhou Yi bestowed this upon me back then. If I succeed in Soul Transformation today, I will remember Senior's kindness for the rest of my life!" Wang Lin took a deep breath, grabbed the crystal with his right hand, and swallowed it in one gulp!

Having done this, he closed his eyes, completely immersed in the Soul Transformation where Concept and Immortal Power were undergoing Fusion!

Time slowly passed. Wang Lin's expression remained calm, like an ancient well. The Immortal Jade around him was constantly consumed, continuously turning into powder, and countless amounts of Immortal Power were absorbed into his body!

For a person undergoing Soul Transformation, a Soul Transformation Crystal will form within their Primordial Spirit. This crystal is like the heart in the Physical Body; it is the heart of the Primordial Spirit!

Zhou Yi's Soul Transformation Crystal became Wang Lin's second heart!

Just as Wang Lin was undergoing Soul Transformation, Tianyao City began its intensive recovery. Large numbers of Demon Soldiers quickly gathered here from various cities in Tianyao Prefecture to rebuild Tianyao City!

On the Ancient Battlefield countless miles away, on the topmost floor of the Black Tower at its center, two faint lights flickered from the head of the pitch-black armor.

"Even the Ancient Demon appeared to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation for you… It would be a pity to just absorb you now… But if I miss this opportunity, I don't know how long I'll have to wait to absorb you again… Although the Power of Soul Transformation is not much, I cannot let it go!"
