Chapter 604: New Changes, Silver-Horned Thunder Beast

Wang Lin stared at the Soul Beast.

After the third blood Seal was imprinted, the aura that erupted from within its body made even him feel a trace of terror.

The beast's body trembled violently, and the red light in its eyes grew increasingly intense, actually bursting out three feet.

Its body, originally reaching a hundred zhang like a small mountain, was now rapidly shrinking amidst a series of indistinct low roars, with crackling sounds constantly emitting from within its body.

Wang Lin calmly watched the beast.

His expression was indifferent, but his gaze was bright; the Jade Slip that recorded the unsealing of the Soul Beast had emphasized this point in the past.

The might of the God-Slaying Chariot relied mostly on this Soul Beast.

Every one of the seven blood Seals fused with primordial spirit qi would stimulate the Soul Beast to evolve once imprinted.

If this stimulation reached its Peak and the Seal wasn't opened, the Soul Beast would explode and die.

However, if the Seal was opened too early, the beast's evolution would be interrupted, and its subsequent power would not reach its Peak.

In reality, those three God-Slaying Chariots had not yet been used when their creator passed away.

According to his original plan, the three God-Slaying Chariots would only be truly perfect after being opened for the first time.

Therefore, one must open the Seal at the exact moment it evolves to its Peak.

Only then would the beast's might truly match the name of the God-Slaying Chariot!

According to the creator's idea, he had intended to gather all the Materials and then seek out an expert at the Immortal Emperor level to open the God-Slaying Chariots for the first time, ensuring that none of the God-Slaying Chariots would have any regrets!

He even boasted in the Jade Slip that even an expert at the Immortal Emperor level could not achieve a perfect opening for the third God-Slaying Chariot he created.

The Soul Beast's body continued to shrink, and the aura within it became increasingly terrifying.

The surrounding plains originally had winds, but now, the wind seemed not to dare to appear, and the sky gradually turned gloomy, no longer clear.

On the ground, countless tiny sand grains trembled gently, as if attracted by a magical force.

Wang Lin's gaze was like a torch.

In his eyes, the Soul Beast's current aura had already surpassed the Early Stage of Soul Transformation and was gradually reaching the Middle Stage, continuing to climb.

After a few breaths, the Soul Beast's body shrank from a hundred zhang back to ten zhang, but the red light in its eyes burst out nearly seven feet, with faint wisps of mist swirling within the red light.

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes and formed Hand Seals with both hands.

A thick layer of black light emanated from between his hands; his gaze was like lightning, fixed on the Soul Beast.

Just at this moment, the red light in the Soul Beast's eyes suddenly contracted, and a crazed, near-destructive aura instantly surged upon its body!

The speed of this surge was too fast, as if a sphere were rapidly expanding inside the Soul Beast.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed with calculations; he stared unblinkingly and pointed forward with both hands, shouting, "Second Seal, open!"

Black light flickered.

At the very moment the aura within the Soul Beast climbed to its Peak, it landed on the Soul Beast's body.

Instantly, the Soul Beast stopped trembling, and an aura that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth stabilized upon it.

It raised its head and roared at the sky.

At this moment, rumbling thunder suddenly came from the sky, and bolts of lightning struck down immediately.

This was not a Heavenly Tribulation, but caused by the beast's Divine Ability.

The thunder rumbled down, all striking the Soul Beast.

The continuous lightning seemed to connect, turning into a long line.

The Soul Beast's body was surrounded by lightning, forming a sphere.

Inside, it gradually changed from standing to slowly crouching, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a beast resembling a Qilin.

But it was not a Qilin; it was a Thunder Beast, even rarer than a Qilin in the Immortal Realm!

On its head, a silver horn slowly drilled out amidst the crackling sounds of electric light.

Upon seeing that silver horn, a trace of disappointment appeared in Wang Lin's eyes.

He sighed inwardly, stepped forward, and drew several times in the void with his right hand.

The fourth blood Seal took shape, and after grabbing it, he rushed toward the Thunder Beast amidst the electric light.

"The Jade Slip once said that if the second God-Slaying Chariot is perfectly opened for the second Seal, what appears inside is a golden horn…"

He arrived in an instant, his right hand passing through the lightning and pressing directly onto the Thunder Beast's forehead.

The timing he chose was what had been mentioned in the Jade Slip: the moment the Soul Beast evolved into a Thunder Beast and the single horn appeared, which was the beast's only branding period in its life.

This branding period was intentionally left by the creator for the purpose of imprinting.

The blood Seal was imprinted on the Thunder Beast's forehead.

At this instant, a trace of golden light faintly flashed on the beast's silver horn.

Wang Lin was stunned, but when he looked closely, there was no more golden light.

The Thunder Beast, branded with four blood Seals, no longer looked at Wang Lin with resistance, but there was no gentleness either.

After sweeping a glance at Wang Lin, its body flickered and it disappeared into the God-Slaying Chariot.

Wang Lin grabbed with his right hand, putting the God-Slaying Chariot into his Storage Pouch.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he silently thought, "That golden light was definitely not my eyes playing tricks on me, but why would it be like this… However, even if it is a silver horn, its might is enough to contend with the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation!"

"It's just that the demon-people here are fine, but if it were a Cultivator, one who could reach the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, if they don't have some powerful Divine Ability, they must possess an astonishing Magic Treasure, or perhaps both!"

"In this way, if I fight them with my Early Stage Soul Transformation cultivation, I dare not say I can win against every Middle Stage Soul Transformation expert… But if they want to kill me, that is absolutely impossible!"

"If I encounter those whose Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures are not as good as mine, I might be able to kill them!"

"As for the Late Stage of Soul Transformation… that is too difficult!"

Wang Lin sighed.

"Whether it was the Vermilion Bird Son back then, or that old man in black, their cultivation had all reached the Late Stage of Soul Transformation."

"The might of this Late Stage, even if I use the Thunder Beast, I fear I cannot resist."

"Fortunately, I have Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi; if I really encounter one, I need not fear!"

Wang Lin stepped forward, teleported, and returned to the Pagoda of the Soul Refining tribe.

"The reason the Late Stage of Soul Transformation is so strong is because this Realm is already the end of the first step of Dao cultivation!"

"Especially those Cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Late Stage of Soul Transformation, they are at the Peak of the first step."

"For such figures, their cultivation can only be matched by those of the same level; it is simply not something a Middle Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator can resist…"

"Unless, one has that kind of Heaven-Defying Magic Treasure, like Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi, or the Fourth Soul in the Ten Billion Soul Banner back then!"

"Even so, that Fourth Soul was eventually subdued by the Vermilion Bird, and Master Dun Tian also died…"

"The old man under the magic tower once said that the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning Divine Ability was just his weakest move."

"This statement should be true…"

Inside the tower, Wang Lin sat cross-legged, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"If I have over a million slaughter qi, the Ten Billion Soul Banner, the God-Slaying Chariot, and the Yellow Springs Dao… can I defeat a Late Stage Soul Transformation expert…"

Wang Lin was silent.

"No certainty… However, with Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi, if a Late Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator really provokes me, I have no choice but to expend one use of the Sword Qi!"

A cold glint appeared in Wang Lin's eyes.

"Next, I must properly refine the three Jian Xiao swords."

"These three swords were wasted on their original owners."

"I once studied them once, and it seems there is another Divine Ability within them!"

"It's just that this Divine Ability seems to require a combined attack to be unleashed."

Wang Lin patted his Storage Pouch, and the Mo Yang, Zi Shu, and Hai Zhu swords immediately flew out.

The three swords emitted sharp Sword Qi.

Wang Lin spat out a mouthful of primordial spirit qi, which turned into green mist, wrapping the three swords.

He closed his eyes and focused on refining them.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

On this day, one hundred thousand li outside the Soul Refining tribe, several long rainbows flew in from the sky.

Their target was extremely clear: it was the Soul Refining tribe!

Among these people, there was one wearing golden clothes, his whole body shrouded in bursts of golden light.

This person looked young and had an arrogant expression.

Beside him followed another person.

This person was a young man, dressed in white, whiter than snow, with a handsome appearance, but at this moment, his Face revealed bitterness.

While flying, he looked at the Soul Refining tribe with complexity, with hidden hesitation.

"Sun Yunshan, what are you thinking about!"

The golden-clothed man glanced sideways and snorted coldly.

This young man in white was none other than the Young Sect Master of the Xuan Yuan Sect who had entered the Demon Spirit Land with Wang Lin, Sun Yunshan!

When he entered the Demon Spirit Land, he was protected by several elders with profound cultivation, but at this moment, he was alone.

Hearing the golden-clothed man's voice, Sun Yunshan's body trembled, and he quickly said respectfully, "Venerable One, this subordinate…"

Before he could finish, the golden-clothed man interrupted him and said coldly, "No need to explain."

"Since you have joined our Alliance of Cultivators, you must obey absolutely."

"If it weren't for the sake of your sister, do you think you would have a share in this opportunity to capture Wang Lin and earn merit!"

Sun Yunshan was silent, whispering his assent, while thinking inwardly, "I wonder if this Wang Lin of the Soul Refining tribe… is the same person as the Wang Lin of the Tian Yun Sect… Sigh, I am too wishful, they cannot be the same person."

"For this capture of Wang Lin, the Old Ancestor specially dispatched an Immortal Guard."

"This time, there is no danger, but you must be careful not to let that Wang Lin run away!"

After the golden-clothed man finished speaking, he glanced sideways at the end of the team, at a middle-aged man wearing black clothes.

This man had an ordinary appearance, and from beginning to end, his expression was indifferent and calm, as if nothing in the world could move him.

Around his body, tiny ripples slowly dissipated, faintly fusing with the surrounding Void Realm, and his aura almost completely dissipated in this state.

Ordinary Cultivators, looking only with Divine Sense, would simply be unable to sense this person's existence.

Being able to achieve this state of Divine Fusion with Heaven and Earth and Qi turning into nothingness meant that this person's cultivation had reached the Early Stage of Soul Transformation.

It's just that this person's Soul Transformation was somewhat strange; in his Primordial Spirit, there was no Origin Qi stored!

Inside the Pagoda of the Soul Refining tribe, Wang Lin sat cross-legged, opened his eyes, and a bolt of lightning flashed out from them!

"Thirteen, there are guests arriving, invite them over!"

Taking care of my daughter all day, I am truly powerless to update more. Both my wife and I are exhausted, everyone please forgive me. I will strive to update more tomorrow!
