Chapter 643, Chapter 657-658: Old Monster Descends (End of Volume)

"Luotian Star Domain!" Wang Lin's pupils constricted. In his memory, there was no information related to the Luotian Star Domain. Even in the Legacy of the Ancient God Tu Si, there was no mention of a Star Domain.

The woman in the Scroll trembled at this moment. She seemed to want to turn around, but an invisible force continuously prevented her from doing so.

"Home…"

Wang Lin remained silent. After a moment, he stared at the Scroll and said in a deep voice, "I've brought you here. It's your turn!"

The woman in the Scroll sighed lightly, her voice ethereal and illusory.

"Do you want to hear a story…?"

Wang Lin frowned, his expression grim, and coldly said, "Not interested!"

The woman paused, as if forcing a bitter smile, and said faintly, "A long, long time ago, there was a mysterious Star Domain in the entire world, even the entire starry sky. That place was a Holy Land for all Cultivators, and it was called the Immortal Realm… Many rumors about the Immortal Realm have vanished in the long river of time, and no one can even be sure if the Immortal Realm truly exists.

There is only one legend that has been passed down: in the legend, the Immortal Realm abandoned its Cultivators, left this starry sky, and disappeared. What remained were only the four passages to the Immortal Realm from back then. Over countless tens of thousands of years, these four passages became places of Ascension for high-level Cultivators, transforming into another Immortal Realm, namely… Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning… Below these four great Immortal Realms, each corresponds to a Star Domain. Above my Luotian Star Domain is the Thunder Immortal Realm…"

"The Heaven Defying Bead does not belong to the Alliance Star Domain. It first appeared in my Luotian Star Domain. No one knows how this bead appeared, only that the moment it did, all the peak Cultivators in my Luotian Star Domain instantly sensed the existence of the Ancient Immortal Realm…"

Wang Lin's gaze sharpened, and he coldly stared at the Scroll, not speaking.

"It's easy to imagine that the trace of the Ancient Immortal Realm's aura almost drove all the peak Cultivators mad. However, in the end, this bead mysteriously disappeared… Countless years later, we obtained some clues: this bead, for some unknown reason, appeared in the Alliance Star Domain of the Rain Immortal Realm…"

A cold glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He pointed upwards and said, "That Ancient Teleportation Formation was set up by you, wasn't it!"

The woman in the Scroll remained silent. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "I didn't enter the Alliance Star Domain from here, but that Teleportation Formation was indeed created by a Cultivator from my Luotian Star Domain. That Teleportation Formation has been abandoned; it cannot be activated or used without Luotian Stone, not even with Immortal Jade."

"I have told you everything I know about the origin of the Heaven Defying Bead. As for the remnant soul of the beautiful figure within it, my Old Ancestor can help you. As long as you take me through this Vortex into the Luotian Star Domain and send me home, I will definitely ask my Old Ancestor to help you revive that remnant soul!"

Wang Lin's gaze was cold as he stared at the woman in the Scroll. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze. The moment he saw the Luotian Star Domain, he had regained his usual composure. What this woman said was clearly an attempt to lure him into the Luotian Star Domain.

"In the Luotian Star Domain, which sect's Disciple are you?" Wang Lin asked calmly.

"The Luotian Star Domain is different from your Alliance Star Domain. There are no sects, only cultivation Families. My Family is the Xiang Family on Donglin Star."

Wang Lin seemed to ponder. After a moment, he said, "I'm afraid my cultivation is not enough to pass through this Vortex…"

The woman in the Scroll shook her head and softly said, "With the Heaven Defying Bead, you will surely pass through."

A barely perceptible cold glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. The woman's words were so certain, she must have been hiding many things and not telling him everything.

Wang Lin stopped wasting words with the woman. He grabbed the Scroll with an empty hand and leaped up, not rushing towards the Vortex, but floating upwards.

"You… don't want that beautiful figure to be revived anymore?" the woman in the Scroll immediately said.

Wang Lin remained silent, not uttering a word. He rushed out, and in the suction force, his Primordial Spirit and Physical Body immediately dispersed, allowing him to fuse with the suction force and drift upwards.

Along the way, no matter what the woman in the Scroll said, Wang Lin remained silent. After an unknown amount of time, in the distance, Wang Lin saw the protruding boulder, and opposite the boulder was the Rift.

He flashed and stepped onto the boulder, lowering his head to carefully examine the Teleportation Formation on it. With a thought of his Primordial Spirit, electric light immediately spread from his feet into the boulder.

Cracking sounds immediately came from within the stone, and blue electric light flickered across it. Then, with a bang, it shattered into pieces, collapsing into rubble, which was pulled by the suction force and fell downwards.

With the boulder gone, this place became identical to above and below, with nothing extraordinary left. Wang Lin then shook the Scroll and entered the Rift twenty feet away.

Upon entering, Wang Lin tossed the Scroll with his right hand. It immediately flew out and deeply embedded itself in the wall. Then, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he performed Hand Seals. Restrictions immediately flew out, all landing around the Scroll.

"Why are you doing this…? Without my help, the remnant soul in your Heaven Defying will not be revived…" The woman's slightly anxious voice came from within the Scroll.

"Silence!" Electric light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. More and more Hand Seals appeared in his hands, densely covering almost the entire Rift.

He had examined the Scroll while ascending. With his power, he couldn't destroy it, but the woman within knew too many secrets. Since he couldn't kill her, he would Seal her permanently!

"Wang Lin!! Without me, the remnant soul in your bead will never be revived, for all eternity!!" A venomous voice emanated from the Scroll, like a howling cold wind.

Wang Lin's expression was grim, and his Hand Seals for the Seal became faster and faster. Gradually, the continuous venomous voice grew weaker and weaker, until it completely faded.

This sealing lasted for several months. Wang Lin hardly stopped, combining countless Seals and Restrictions to form a terrifyingly massive Seal.

Months later, Wang Lin stepped back and left the Rift. His eyes flickered, and he slapped the opening of the Rift with his right hand. The one-zhang-wide Rift opening immediately collapsed, deeply burying the Scroll within.

From the outside, there was no abnormality. No one would know that inside, there was a woman in a Scroll, deeply sealed.

Even if someone came here, while fighting against the suction force, they would have no time to examine the identical-looking walls around them.

After sealing it, Wang Lin moved, not leaving immediately, but leaning in the distance, closing his eyes in silence.

Time slowly passed. Days later, a faint fluctuation came from the sealed Scroll. As this fluctuation just emerged from the Rift, Wang Lin, who had been closing his eyes in the distance, suddenly opened them, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He performed Hand Seals, and immediately, a black shadow materialized from the Void Realm behind him, rushing directly towards the location of the Rift.

"Seal!" Wang Lin shouted in a low voice. Immediately, the Immortal Guard Puppet performed Hand Seals, and a mighty Seal instantly appeared in the Puppet's hands. The moment the fluctuation emerged, it pressed down upon it.

Vaguely, Wang Lin heard a miserable groan. Then, his eyes flickered, and he and the Immortal Guard Puppet simultaneously cast Seals, penetrating the wall and directly reaching its depths.

Having done all this, Wang Lin withdrew the Immortal Guard and continued to close his eyes in silence.

Months later, the fluctuation appeared again. What awaited her was another thorough Seal. After three Seals, Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then no longer stayed here, but moved and soared away.

"This woman in the Scroll should have once possessed extremely strong cultivation, but now, she is sealed within that Scroll by someone. Originally, this woman would probably never have been released from the Seal in her entire life, but back in the Immortal Remains Land, she absorbed the Three Ancestors' Talisman Beasts, which gave her a trace of Divine Ability.

Unbeknownst to me, this woman has learned many secrets over the years. If it weren't for this special place in the abyss, this woman probably wouldn't have revealed the truth, but would have continued to silently wait for the day of her recovery.

Keeping such a hidden danger by my side will definitely cause trouble in the future! Her leading me to the Luotian Star Domain probably has other motives!"

Wang Lin thought silently as he ascended.

"Of what she said earlier, only three tenths can be believed, but the Luotian Star Domain should be real. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked me to take her there."

Wang Lin's eyes flickered as he floated upwards. The suction force here was immense. Although Wang Lin had transformed into a part of the suction force, he could still feel a layer of pressure above, preventing him from going higher.

He took a deep breath, slapped his Storage Pouch, and immediately the Seven Star Sword Array flew out, circling his body and generating a large amount of thrust, causing him to rush out rapidly again.

"The Xiang Family of Donglin Star, even if this Family has no connection with this woman, I can certainly inquire about her identity. Since she said her Family's Old Ancestor can revive Wan'er, whether it's true or false, I might as well go and see. Without this woman in the Scroll following me, even if I go to the Luotian Star Domain, no one will know that I possess the Heaven Defying Bead.

Moreover, dangers lurk everywhere in this Demon Spirit Land. Heavenly Fate Child and others might arrive at any time. Once they come, a confrontation is inevitable. In that case, facing beings whose cultivation I cannot imagine, I am powerless to resist!"

A cold glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes as he ascended.

"However, since the last token is in my hands, without me, they can't enter the true Immortal Cave. Therefore, their coming to this Demon Spirit Land would be useless. Even if they learn from Greedy Wolf that the token is in my hand, and even if they eventually confirm it, by that time, I will have already left here and gone to the Luotian Star Domain!

When my cultivation improves in the future, allowing me to speak with Heavenly Fate Child and others on equal terms, I will return to explore the mysteries of this Immortal Cave!"

Wang Lin's eyes brightened.

"However, before that, there are some matters to handle. Once I leave, I don't know when I'll be able to return…" Wang Lin sighed softly.

In this deep pit, the Seven Star Sword Array was gradually becoming less effective. A phantom flickered behind Wang Lin, and the Immortal Guard Puppet transformed into a black hurricane, carrying Wang Lin and accelerating once again.

The exit of the deep pit was getting closer and closer… Large groups of Mosquito Beasts roared at the exit. Among them, a purple-bodied Mosquito Beast, whose originally listless eyes suddenly brightened at this moment. It instantly rushed out, directly knocking away some companions flying in front of it. At the mouth of the abyss, it stared intently downwards, letting out bursts of sharp howls.

The joy conveyed in this howl was indescribable. The Mosquito Beast's body trembled, and as its wings flapped, its body was like lightning, rushing into the abyss without hesitation.

At this moment, even if all the Mosquito Beasts called out simultaneously, they could not make this purple Mosquito Beast turn back as it rushed downwards into the abyss!

As Wang Lin ascended, he immediately detected the howling sound from above. Looking up, he saw the Mosquito Beast he had been separated from for decades. The beast saw Wang Lin, its eyes showing surprise, and it continuously howled around Wang Lin, as if a wanderer who had been away from his parents for years suddenly saw his relatives.

It excitedly flew beneath Wang Lin, carrying him out. Under the hurricane formed by Wang Lin's Immortal Guard, he directly rushed out of the abyss. The moment he flew out, Wang Lin let out a deep breath.

The reason he was able to fly out smoothly, besides fusing with the suction force, was that the Seven Star Sword and the Immortal Guard Puppet played a crucial role. Additionally, the weakening of the suction force within the deep pit also had a great connection.

The suction force of this deep pit was unpredictable, sometimes strong, sometimes weak. If it were at its strongest, even with Wang Lin's advantages, it would have been difficult to escape.

After flying out on the mosquito, Wang Lin immediately saw the thousands of densely packed Mosquito Beasts around him, each staring intently at Wang Lin with red eyes, revealing intense ferocity.

Wang Lin frowned. The number of these Mosquito Beasts was more than half less than many years ago. It must be that some unexpected changes occurred during the battle between Greedy Wolf and Zhou Yi back then, which led to a large-scale reduction in the number of Mosquito Beasts.

"I just don't know what kind of changes occurred…" Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then placed his right hand on the head of the Mosquito Beast beneath him, and his Divine Sense flowed through it.

Immediately, a series of images flashed through Wang Lin's Divine Sense. When the battle between Zhou Yi and Greedy Wolf was halfway through, a male and a female Cultivator descended from the exit of the Fire Demon County.

These two Cultivators were too strong. With just one grab, Greedy Wolf was immediately captured. As for Zhou Yi, he was also caught by the male and female Cultivators using a Divine Ability, but judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Instead, the man's eyes revealed a sense of melancholy and nostalgia the moment he saw Zhou Yi.

The Mosquito Beast swarm was not annihilated; rather, the Dao Companion pair took most of them away using a Divine Ability. If Wang Lin's Mosquito Beast hadn't sensed the situation was bad and used a strange method to change its body, making it appear no different from ordinary Mosquito Beasts, it might have been captured as well.

Wang Lin's Divine Sense retracted from the Mosquito Beast, and his expression turned gloomy.

He was silent for a moment, then patted the Mosquito Beast. The Mosquito Beast immediately roared, not flying towards the exit of the Fire Demon County, but changing direction and flying towards the entrance of the Water Demon County.

Under the suction of Wang Lin's Incarnation, any place could be an exit.

As they flew, the several thousand Mosquito Beasts followed behind, occasionally letting out unwilling and desperate cries, seemingly trying to persuade Wang Lin's Mosquito Beast to stay.

At the tidal entrance of the Water Demon County, on this day, a purple light shot out, transforming into the appearance of a Mosquito Beast in mid-air. Wang Lin sat upon it, his expression gloomy.

The moment the purple light appeared, over two thousand Mosquito Beasts also roared out, surrounding Wang Lin. Their gazes all fell upon the purple Mosquito Beast, and their cries grew heavier.

Wang Lin's Mosquito Beast showed determination in its eyes, letting out continuous roars, as if responding.

The Mosquito Beasts around it showed even stronger reluctance in their eyes, and occasionally looked at Wang Lin, revealing intense fierce glints.

Wang Lin's gaze flickered, and he stood up. The electric light emanating from his Primordial Spirit passed through his body. At this moment, he looked as if he was surrounded by electric light, and his gaze was like lightning as he looked coldly.

Sensing Wang Lin's state of mind, the Mosquito Beast beneath his feet immediately let out a sharp roar, its voice filled with intense pressure, causing the surrounding Mosquito Beasts to slowly disperse.

Wang Lin took out his Storage Pouch, opened a gap, and looked at the surrounding Mosquito Beasts.

The Mosquito Beast swarm was silent. After a long while, one of them immediately flew out, transforming into a gray streak of light and entering the Storage Pouch. Immediately after, more Mosquito Beasts flew in one after another.

However, not all the Mosquito Beasts chose to enter the Storage Pouch. About two-thirds chose to remain silent, quietly watching Wang Lin and their king depart and disappear into the horizon.

After a long while, they all roared in unison, letting out a collective wail of sorrow. Slowly, these Mosquito Beasts collapsed one by one. They actually severed their own heart meridians, falling from mid-air and plummeting into the tidal entrance.

In the distance, the Mosquito Beast beneath Wang Lin's feet trembled. It slowly turned around, gazing towards the direction of the Tidal Abyss, its eyes also revealing sorrow.

Wang Lin sighed softly, rubbing the Mosquito Beast's head with his right hand.

Based on his understanding of this Mosquito Beast, he now understood that this beast, unless it was a young one, could absolutely not be tamed once it reached adulthood. Those that entered the Storage Pouch were all young beasts; those who chose to commit suicide were all adult Mosquito Beasts.

In the world of Mosquito Beasts, if abandoned by their king, then there is only death! Unless a new king appears!

Seeing the Mosquito Beast's dejection, Wang Lin felt a pang of pity. He soared into the air, put the Mosquito Beast into his Storage Pouch, letting it be with its hundreds of companions, and with the Thunder Frog for company. Only this way could it slowly recover from its sadness.

Wang Lin was in mid-air, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds. It had been a long time since he had seen this sky. After a moment of silence, Wang Lin patted his Storage Pouch, and immediately a crystal appeared in his hand.

He infused his Divine Sense into it, and the crystal immediately emitted a crystalline glow, enveloping him. In an instant, the crystalline glow, along with Wang Lin within it, disappeared.

When he reappeared, Wang Lin was already in his Immortal Cave. Looking at the many Restrictions here that had not yet been broken, Wang Lin's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself, "When I return next time, all the Restrictions here will be broken by me one by one, revealing the mysteries of this Immortal Cave!"

He took a deep breath, performed Hand Seals with both hands, sealing the Immortal Cave. Afterwards, he even destroyed the Teleportation Formation, ensuring that no one could enter this Immortal Cave from then on, not even the Blood Ancestor.

After doing all this, Wang Lin turned back and took a deep look at the Immortal Cave. He saw the Immortal Cave Spirit materialize on the Immortal Cave's door. It looked at Wang Lin from a distance, but did not speak.

Wang Lin turned around, holding the crystal, and left this place.

Outside the Soul Refining Tribe in the Heavenly Demon County, Wang Lin's figure appeared and he stepped in. All the tribesmen within, upon seeing Wang Lin, had a moment of trance, but immediately, they showed surprise and repeatedly kowtowed.

Without taking the souls collected by these Soul Refining Tribe members, Wang Lin called Thirteen and Ouyang Hua into the Pagoda, gave them some instructions, left behind some Cultivation Techniques, including the subsequent Cultivation Technique for the Giant Demon Race that Thirteen cultivated. Afterwards, he stepped into the Void Realm and departed.

The moment he left, Thirteen knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times towards Wang Lin. Ouyang Hua did the same. Both of their eyes showed sorrow. Although Wang Lin didn't say anything, they had a feeling that perhaps in this life… it would be difficult to meet again… Inside the Heavenly Demon County, in the Demon General's Mansion, Shi Xiao sat cross-legged in meditation. Beside him, Chen Tao also practiced breathing exercises. His cultivation had recovered through medicine and years of healing, reaching the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation again, and even slightly improving. Although there was still some distance to the Late Stage, it was no longer far.

A moment later, Shi Xiao opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.

Chen Tao, who was beside him, also opened his eyes, which were filled with profound depth.

"Chen Tao, tomorrow I will report to the Demon Emperor and recommend you as a Demon General, and also let you go to Dragon Pond for enlightenment. Although it is not a true Legacy, comprehending there will bring you many benefits," Shi Xiao said calmly.

Chen Tao thanked him, saying, "Tomorrow, I, Chen, will have to address you as Deputy Commander!"

Shi Xiao smiled proudly, saying, "This position should have belonged to me more than 100 years ago! It was just snatched away by that Mo Lihai using despicable means. If it weren't for that lowly Wang Lin, what would Mo Lihai even count for!"

Chen Tao glanced at Shi Xiao and said calmly, "Wang Lin is my Junior Brother!"

Shi Xiao raised an eyebrow and sneered, "When my Heavenly Demon County was fighting fiercely in the Fire Demon County, where was your Junior Brother? Taking advantage of the empty Fire Demon County in the later stages, he stole our credit. Although he helped Lord Ancient Demon, we despise him for it!

Moreover, this person has been missing for many years. Now, his bones are probably cold. You remember he is your Junior Brother, but he probably doesn't remember you are his Senior Brother anymore."

Chen Tao was silent and did not speak.

Shi Xiao's eyes showed a hint of mockery, and he said, "Calling him lowly is being kind. If he's not dead, I will definitely kill him and let him know how a Cultivator should view their identity in this Demon Spirit Land!"

"Is that so…" A cold voice slowly emanated from the surrounding Void.

Shi Xiao was startled, but immediately his expression turned gloomy. He looked around and shouted, "Who is playing tricks? Come out, Commander!"

Chen Tao, who was beside him, had his eyes flash and stared at the sky.

A black figure appeared in the sky, with a bright moon behind him. This person walked slowly, treading on moonlight. Electric arcs crackled around his body, making a rather astonishing sight.

"You… you are Wang Lin!" Chen Tao's eyes narrowed, recognizing the identity of the black figure.

"How audacious, daring to trespass into my mansion! Get out within three breaths, or I'll kill you!" Shi Xiao looked coldly, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. His cultivation had soared in recent years, equivalent to an Early Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator, and his Demonic Power was dense.

Wang Lin descended, stepping onto the ground, calmly looking at Shi Xiao, and slowly said, "I once promised someone to take your life. Today, I am here for that!"

Shi Xiao's eyes erupted with murderous intent. With a movement of his body, he transformed into an afterimage and charged directly at Wang Lin. As he moved, he performed Hand Seals with both hands, about to unleash a Divine Ability.

Wang Lin's body remained still, but under the moonlight, his shadow immediately became ferocious, extending from within and suddenly transforming into a black figure that shot out from the ground. In an instant, it intersected with Shi Xiao, who was rushing from mid-air.

Chen Tao's expression changed drastically, and he was about to step forward, but the black figure that intersected with Shi Xiao revealed a sharp gaze.

Under that gaze, Chen Tao's body trembled, his Primordial Spirit recoiled, and he forcibly stopped in his tracks, cold sweat flowing down his forehead.

"Yin and Yang Reality and Illusion…" Chen Tao's eyes revealed horror.

The black figure retracted to Wang Lin's feet, once again becoming a shadow. As for Shi Xiao, with a bang, he fell to the ground. His eyes remained open, still revealing a lingering murderous intent, but his vitality, everything within his body, was now completely shattered.

Wang Lin turned and left.

Under the bright moon, his figure seemed to tread on moonlight as he departed, his clothes fluttering, his hair dancing, gradually flying further and further away… "Be careful, Master!" Wang Lin's voice echoed in Chen Tao's ears. He stared blankly at the sky for a long time, unable to speak.

In the Demon Spirit Land, Wang Lin handled all miscellaneous matters and appeared at the entrance of the Tidal Abyss. He looked back at the earth, and finally his gaze fell upon the sky. His gaze seemed to penetrate the heavens, continuously ascending, finally breaking through the sky's boundary and extending above the East Sea.

Outside the East Sea Demon Spirit Gate, Heavenly Fate Child, Ling Tianhou, Blood Ancestor, and seven or eight old men stood abruptly.

As everyone was waiting for Ling Tianhou to open the Demon Spirit Gate, Heavenly Fate Child let out a soft '咦' and looked at the Demon Spirit Gate, his brows slightly furrowed.

The time for them to enter this Demon Spirit Gate was decades earlier. This was because Heavenly Fate Child, during his meditation more than ten years ago, suddenly felt a sense of trepidation, a feeling he had not experienced for tens of thousands of years.

This feeling came from the Demon Spirit Land! It came from the brand he had left on a Disciple named Wang Lin back then! At that moment, this brand was forcibly removed!

This was not the first time a brand had been removed. A long time ago, a Disciple named Sun Yun had also achieved this.

Heavenly Fate Child was not the only one feeling uneasy. The Blood Ancestor was also uneasy. His unease came from his daughter, Yao Xixue. As time passed, this feeling of unease grew stronger. Cultivating to his level, a feeling of unease could not be groundless.

Therefore, when Heavenly Fate Child suggested entering the Demon Spirit Land earlier, he was the first to agree. Yao Xixue was his only daughter and only relative. For this daughter, he would stop at nothing!

Similarly, Ling Tianhou also felt gloomy in his heart. Nine of the twelve Sword Xiao's Natal Soul Lamps had already extinguished… Ling Tianhou's anger had always been suppressed in his heart. He planned to find Greedy Wolf after entering this Demon Spirit Land and question him thoroughly.

These three, at this moment, did not know that the troubles plaguing these three high and mighty Divine Ability Cultivators all originated from one person!

Ling Tianhou pressed down with a palm, opening the Demon Spirit Gate. With a flick of his sleeve, he stepped in and departed…
