Chapter 623: Saving Zhou Yi (10,000 Characters Complete!)

Saving Zhou Yi!

Zhou Yi and Wang Lin did not have a deep relationship, but that brief moment in the Immortal Realm allowed Wang Lin's impression of Zhou Yi to be deeply etched into his Soul.

That man, who was willing to burn his Soul rather than let go of the woman he loved, his devotion was not what moved people. Rather, it was the clarity in his eyes as he burned his Soul, like the bright moon in the dark night, that moved everyone who witnessed that scene.

He gifted the precious Soul Transformation Crystal merely to have Wang Lin help him guard the female corpse… Such a simple request, yet it was Zhou Yi's entire life's desire before his death.

After that, Zhou Yi transformed into the Sword Spirit of the Rain Immortal Sword, but the Remnant Soul within the White-Robed Female Corpse, which had been born because of him, vanished like smoke, never to return… In that moment, Zhou Yi seemed to hear the sound of the entire world shattering before him.

When his heart died, he carried lifeless Sword Qi and, in the form of a Sword Spirit, chased directly out of the Void Realm, vowing to slay Ling Tianhou! In that moment, he was seeking death, because the person he lived for had already perished… Wang Lin's life truly bore witness to the cruelty of the Cultivation World. Most of the people he encountered had ulterior motives; only a very select few remained in his heart… Situ Nan, Dun Tian, Chi Hu, Zhou Yi… Back then, his cultivation was only at the Soul Transformation stage; he was an unremarkable junior before Zhou Yi. But today, Wang Lin had stepped into Soul Transformation!

He exhaled deeply and stepped toward the gap.

Some things, even if one clearly knows the danger, must still be done by a man with deep conviction!

Back then, to save Thirteen, Wang Lin fought the Demon General alone. Today, to save Zhou Yi, even the lingering Divine Thought of Sword Venerate Ling Tianhou cannot stop Wang Lin's steps!

The moment he stepped into the gap, the Divine Thought of Sword Venerate Ling Tian, containing an extremely rich sense of dominance, brutally rushed forward, seemingly transforming into a physical attack that roared thunderously.

This dominant Divine Thought was like a sharp sword, carrying a sharpness that could pierce the heavens and earth, stabbing directly toward Wang Lin.

The outermost black barrier of the Revered Soul Banner around Wang Lin's body also let out a fierce roar. Hundreds of millions of Souls condensed together, forming a Soul Banner barrier to block the sharp sword's penetration.

However, Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought was too powerful! Under its charge, the defensive barrier formed by hundreds of millions of Soul Banners was actually pierced directly by the sharp sword, which stabbed toward Wang Lin without hesitation.

At this moment, a trace of determination flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He clearly knew that he could not move forward now, but if he retreated, he would lose the chance to save Zhou Yi forever.

In a person's life, what must be done, must be done. If one is hesitant and indecisive, even if they live for ten thousand years, their life will still be Chaos!

The determination in Wang Lin's eyes turned into decisiveness, and he took a step forward. In this instant, the sharp sword formed by Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought became even more potent and whistled toward him.

Without a word, Wang Lin waved his right hand in front of him. The Golden Runes surrounding his body instantly gathered all over him. As the Sword Ray rumbled down onto Wang Lin, streams of white Electric Light traveled from the Golden Runes through the bodies of the Flying Insects. While the light encircled his entire body, he decisively took another step!

Immediately, more than half of the Flying Insects outside his body stiffened and fell off the Golden Runes. Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, collecting them into his Storage Pouch.

Taking this step immediately triggered a Divine Thought several times denser than before. Bursts of rolling thunder echoed within the narrow rift, forming countless reverberations that merged together, like the Wrath of Heavenly Might. The Divine Thought swept over, intending to utterly crush all intruders!

The Souls of the Revered Soul Banner outside Wang Lin's body were completely unable to stop it. After being breached again, the Divine Thought directly slammed onto the Devil Armor outside Wang Lin's body.

In this instant, the Devilish Qi on the Devil Armor collapsed, and Wang Lin's body immediately felt an unimaginable force rushing toward him. He even had a feeling that if he did not retreat, he would instantly collapse and die!

But a feeling is merely a feeling. With Wang Lin's self-control over his mind, he forcibly suppressed this sensation at this moment. The decisiveness in his eyes grew stronger, and the Loose Devil Soul within his Primordial Spirit, which had been branded deeper for a hundred years, was released by him for the first time!

Wang Lin had not yet fully stabilized the brand on this Loose Devil Soul, so naturally, it had not yet been refined into a Second Primordial Spirit. Upon releasing it now, a pitch-black Devil Soul with a single horn and one foot shot directly out from Wang Lin's glabella, carrying a sinister laugh that sounded like Devilish Sounds penetrating the body. This Devil Soul's eyes were murky, and it immediately attempted to swallow Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought in one gulp.

The moment the Devil Soul appeared, boundless Devilish Qi, which had never surged forth since Wang Lin first wore the armor, immediately emerged from Wang Lin's armor and frantically drilled into the Devil Soul's body, causing the Devil Soul to instantly solidify from its illusory state.

It swallowed Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought in one gulp, and a storm-like Aura immediately erupted within its body. The dominant Concept contained within the Divine Thought surged wildly inside it. The Devil Soul let out a low growl, and a trace of struggling clarity suddenly flashed within its Devilish Eyes.

Just then, Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit trembled. He immediately sensed the instability of the Devil Soul. Without hesitation, his Primordial Spirit moved, and his Divine Thought passed through his glabella into the Devil Soul's body, pulling on the brand within it. Although this brand was unstable, it had been etched for nearly a hundred years after all.

Under this traction, the Devil Soul's body was immediately sucked back into Wang Lin's glabella. Even the Devil Armor outside Wang Lin's body seemed to receive the pull, transforming into Black Threads and ceasing to materialize. Wang Lin collected these Black Threads into his Storage Pouch, and he took a step forward, covering ten Zhang this time!

But immediately, the third wave of Divine Thought, surging with an impact even denser than before, whistled from the depths of the rift. Amidst the bursts of thunder, Ling Tianhou's voice could even be faintly heard.

The voice murmured, like an Incantation.

The Revered Soul Banner could not resist, and he no longer had the armor. At this moment, Wang Lin only had one hundred thousand Marks of Life left on his body. The moment the third wave of Divine Thought struck, the one hundred thousand Marks of Life instantly transformed into one million at an extremely fast speed. Using this expansion, they forcibly resisted Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought. However, in just an instant, the one million Marks of Life swiftly collapsed.

Veins bulged on Wang Lin's face. He let out a low roar, slapped his Storage Pouch, and the God-Slaying Chariot immediately flew out. Lightning flashed on it, and it suddenly transformed into a Thunder Beast!

The beast roared, and with a single rush, its entire body appeared directly in front of Wang Lin, colliding with the Divine Thought. The massive amount of Lightning on the Thunder Beast's body resembled a Thunderball, emitting bursts of crackling sounds.

The Thunder Beast's body scattered massive amounts of Electric Light onto the ground, and under the collision with Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought, it continuously retreated.

Utilizing this moment of reprieve, Wang Lin's Marks of Life immediately replenished, transforming back into one million. A cold light flashed in his eyes; passive defense was not the best method. If he wanted to rush in, he needed to attack!

Wang Lin stepped forward, continuously launching the Finger of Annihilation with his right hand. The Immortal Energy within his body circulated wildly. Instantly, streaks of Finger of Annihilation Black Light whistled out, heading straight for the invisible Divine Thought of Ling Tianhou, which was being obstructed by the Thunder Beast.

The countless black lights emitted by the Finger of Annihilation were like streaks of arrows, creating a series of ripples as they struck Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought.

Wang Lin took another step forward, pointing his right hand ahead, and the Devil Transformation Finger appeared. The Immortal Energy within his body reversed. Due to the four drops of Immortal Fluid from back then, his internal Immortal Energy had remained inexhaustible and never decreased over the years, just like the Mark of Life, even without Immortal Jade replenishment.

Now, under Wang Lin's Devil Transformation Finger, this Immortal Energy immediately transformed into Devilish Qi. After integrating with the Aura of the Loose Devil Soul within Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit, it instantly became incredibly pure Devilish Qi, shooting out along Wang Lin's finger.

It was not one streak, but ten streaks!

Following this, Wang Lin raised his right hand, and the Dao Transformation Yellow Springs swept out around him. He stepped upon the Yellow Springs and took several more steps, immediately condensing all his Divine Abilities and methods, blasting them toward Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought.

Still feeling the power was insufficient, a cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. The one million Marks of Life transformed into slaughter qi. Except for one streak hidden within his Primordial Spirit, all the rest, under Wang Lin's command, merged into a single streak and shot straight out!

As for Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi within his body, Wang Lin was not foolish enough to use it while facing Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought. He feared that the moment it appeared, it would immediately become the opponent's property!

At this moment, the entire Tidal Abyss seemed to be trembling. On the Abyss Walls outside the rift, grains of dirt and pieces of shattered rock seemed to be enveloped by a strange power, detaching from the Abyss Walls and floating upward.

All the Divine Abilities suddenly collided with Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought. In this instant, the Thunder Beast let out an earth-shattering roar, and its body transformed into a massive bolt of Lightning, rushing directly toward Ling Tianhou's Divine Thought alongside Wang Lin's Divine Abilities.

A series of muffled sounds immediately erupted from the entrance of the Tidal Abyss within Water Demon Prefecture. As the sounds spread, the ground continuously shook, as if Sound Waves were passing through.

At this moment, even Murong Zhuo, who was beneath the abyss, felt the terrifying fluctuations coming from above. As for the two women beside him, Zhao and Xu, they immediately looked up, their eyes filled with shock.

"This is too terrifying! Could… could this be what Wang Lin unleashed?" Xu Fei gasped. The dissatisfaction in her heart over Wang Lin destroying her Divine Sense instantly vanished. She made up her mind: such a person was not someone she could provoke.

Besides those three, the powerful ripples continued to spread along the Abyss Walls, passing directly to the bottom of the abyss. The bottom of the Tidal Abyss was a Corridor, and when the Sound Waves entered here, they continuously echoed.

The Corridor was shaped like a circular Chinese character "Hui" (回), with a Black Hole leading to an unknown destination in the center, and the path of the Corridor forming the outer ring.

In one part of the Corridor, a great sword had half its blade stabbed into the ground. As the ripples spread, the sword slightly loosened.

The ripples spread far away through the Corridor. At this moment, beneath the Huoyao Prefecture exit, on the clearing where the Great Luo Sword Sect was trapped by the Mosquito Beasts and Black Mist, Greed Wolf, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and a Sharp Light burst forth.

"Ling Tianhou's Aura!! Could it be that he arrived early… No, although this Aura belongs to Ling Tianhou, it is only a part of him… Besides his Aura, there is another one… This other Aura is very unfamiliar, but appearing here at this time, could it also be for the Token…"

Greed Wolf seemingly casually glanced at the Great Luo Sword Sect Disciples beside him and closed his eyes again.

By the time the ripples reached here, they were already faint, and no one besides Greed Wolf noticed them.

Within the Great Luo Sword Sect, Ling Tianhou, dressed in a Daoist Robe and sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened and closed his eyes…—

Three chapters, ten thousand characters, all delivered. Offered with sincerity. The result does not depend on the Will of Heaven, but only on my Fellow Daoists!
