Chapter 595: Ancient Demon Blood Shadow (An extra chapter added upon the request of many Fellow Daoists!)

The Blue Blood transformed into Wang Lin. He grabbed from the void, and his Storage Pouch immediately materialized. At the same time, a set of blue robes covered his body. Then, as Wang Lin stepped forward, he executed several instances of Teleportation, and in a single stride, his figure vanished.

His figure materialized countless miles away, and Wang Lin headed straight for the Imperial Capital, Tianyao City.

After the Blood Soul Pill absorbed a trace of Primordial Spirit and blood, it could take effect in a very short time. At the moment of death, anything connected to the user's Primordial Spirit would merge into the void. Upon revival, the user could rely on the power of the Blood Soul to retrieve everything connected to their Primordial Spirit from the void!

Yao Xixue was exactly like this back then!

Tian Yunzi had once given Wang Lin a life-saving item, but this item could, at most, withstand the power of a Late Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator. Although the black-armored old man, who was a three-zhang Incarnation, had cultivation equivalent to the Late Stage Soul Transformation, his actual strength, in Wang Lin's view, far exceeded it.

Furthermore, there was the strange existence inside the Black Tower. If he used the item, it might not even save his life. Therefore, Wang Lin's thoughts raced in an instant, and he decided to gamble everything on the Blood Soul Pill!

What he was gambling against was the existence inside the Black Tower. That person was too formidable. After Wang Lin regained consciousness and recalled his journey, he felt terrified. During the Divine Thought attacks from the existence in the Black Tower, he would have died countless times if not for the stimulation from the Immortal Ascension Fruit.

He couldn't possibly consume the Immortal Ascension Fruit daily to stimulate his Primordial Spirit for the remaining four hundred-plus years in the Demon Spirit Land. Otherwise, before anyone could kill him, he would completely descend into madness and lose his sanity forever.

Given this, he had to take the gamble. If he didn't severely injure or kill the existence inside the Black Tower, no matter how far he fled, even if he used the Great Teleportation technique, he would absolutely not escape that person's Divine Sense attack.

He feared that as soon as the Immortal Ascension Fruit's effect wore off, the existence inside the Black Tower would launch its Divine Sense again, and Wang Lin believed he would certainly die then!

The existence in the Black Tower had never come out, indicating that it must remain inside the tower. This further strengthened Wang Lin's resolve!

At this moment, he teleported out, heading straight for Tianyao City. He had two preparations to make. The first was complete; the second was seeking the Ancient Demon's help!

"The appointment from ten years ago—I was delayed because of Soul Transformation. Although ten years have passed, the matter we agreed upon was extremely important, so I doubt that Ancient Demon will go back on his word." Wang Lin thought to himself, speeding up. The residual might of the Immortal Ascension Fruit was still in his Primordial Spirit. With his current conscious strength, it would be simple to erase this residual might, but Wang Lin took no action. He wanted to keep the residual effects of the Immortal Ascension Fruit, just in case the Black Tower was not the crucial item and the existence inside could still launch Divine Sense attacks!

"If that's truly the case, I might have to prepare to flee for my life forever." Wang Lin sighed inwardly. He had no feud with the existence inside the Black Tower; the other party had provoked him first. But in the Cultivation World, there is no right or wrong, only strength and weakness.

After teleporting out, Wang Lin was surprised to find that the Immortal Power within his body was immediately replenished as soon as it was consumed. This meant he could use Great Teleportation multiple times.

One must know that the Great Teleportation technique consumes the most Immortal Power. In the past, after Wang Lin used it, he had to take out Immortal Jade and spend some time replenishing his energy. But now, he no longer had this concern. He almost immediately executed Great Teleportation again the moment he materialized.

"It must be that those four drops of Immortal Liquid merged into my body during the self-detonation. After my revival, they exist within me in a strange way!" Wang Lin briefly analyzed the situation and stopped thinking about it. After multiple Great Teleportations, the capital city of Tianyao Prefecture was not far away.

Wang Lin was speeding along this journey at a pace he had never achieved before.

"It's a pity I was stimulated by the Immortal Ascension Fruit and lost my sanity back then; otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have left behind the Zi Rat's Sword Qi… However, I remember where the Zi Rat's corpse is. I wonder if the Sword Qi is still inside it if I rush back." Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and his heart stirred, but now was not the time to go to Huoyao Prefecture.

Seeing that only one last Great Teleportation was needed to reach the capital city of Tianyao Prefecture, Wang Lin was about to step forward when suddenly, an angry roar came from behind him.

"I'd like to see where you can run!"

A thousand zhang behind Wang Lin, a large man wearing Armor stepped out. This person had a majestic appearance, a faint light flickered in his eyes, and a monstrous Devilish Qi surged around his body.

Wang Lin's expression changed, and he stepped forward. The instant his body vanished, he glanced back at the large man, and that single glance nearly made him cry out in surprise.

"Ling Tianhou!!!"

The large man's appearance was astonishingly similar to that of Sword Venerable Ling Tianhou!

Wang Lin's body vanished and materialized a hundred miles outside Ancient Demon City. His expression was gloomy, and his eyes flashed as he thought, "It's not Ling Tianhou! Although this person's appearance is similar, he looks much younger! Furthermore, this person lacks Ling Tianhou's Aura, and his appearance isn't completely identical, just somewhat similar… Could it be…"

Just then, the large man wearing Armor stepped out from the void. He stared at Wang Lin and said in a deep voice, "Why aren't you running now!" As he spoke, he reached forward with his large hand, and five streams of Devilish Qi filled his fingertips.

"Ling Tianhou, who is he to you?" Wang Lin's eyes flickered as he suddenly asked.

The large man's right hand paused, and a hint of confusion immediately flashed within his Devilish Qi-filled eyes.

"Ling Tianhou… such a familiar name…"

Wang Lin quickly retreated, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and he shouted, "Great Luo Sword Sect, Sword Venerable Ling Tianhou!"

"Great Luo Sword Sect… Sword Venerable…" The confusion in the large man's eyes deepened, followed immediately by a flash of struggle. Just then, a Demon Soul Shadow suddenly appeared on his brow. This Demon Soul glared fiercely at Wang Lin and let out a sharp howl.

With that sound, the confusion in the large man's eyes instantly vanished, replaced by Demonic Flames.

"Ancient Demon!!" Wang Lin retreated rapidly and shouted loudly.

A powerful will suddenly swept out from within Tianyao City and immediately descended before Wang Lin!

"You are ten years late!" The Ancient Demon's voice entered Wang Lin's ears.

"Lend me your blood for a moment!"

The moment the voice fell, a large amount of fresh blood immediately spurted from all of Wang Lin's pores. This blood condensed together, forming a human shape, and the Ancient Demon's will descended upon it.

Wang Lin's body swayed, having lost most of his blood. His face pale, he immediately took out a Medicinal Pill and consumed it, sitting cross-legged on the ground to meditate and circulate his Qi.

The Demon Soul on the large man's brow stared at the Blood Shadow in front of Wang Lin and shrieked in a strange language, "Bellow, how dare you stop me!!"

The Blood Shadow squirmed, transforming into a being with two horns on its head. A demonic light emanated from its eyes. Looking at the Demon Soul on the large man's brow, it spoke plainly, "You are merely one of the Nine Loose Devils under Ancient Devil. Why can I not stop you!"

"Ancient God Language!" Wang Lin opened his eyes, a look of contemplation on his face.
