Chapter 837: Famous Throughout Luotian, I’m a Coward

It was as if, at this moment, he was that child, personally witnessing Immortal Emperor Bai Fan raise his hand, and nine black Dragons roar, as the heavens and earth changed color, and all living beings faced annihilation.

Wang Lin's eyes gleamed with a strange light. He raised his arms, performing Hand Seals, and immediately, the two thousand-zhang black Dragons roaring outside his body emitted a faint glow from their Dragon eyes!

This light was profound, as if at this instant, these two black Dragons gained sentience, or perhaps awakened from some slumber, carrying the vicissitudes of looking down upon the world, sweeping with dense black wind, and charging straight towards the four Heavenly Blades!

The Heavenly Blades were sharp, capable of severing all things in heaven and earth, but they could not sever the souls of the black Dragons!

The first blade descended swiftly amidst a rumble from heaven and earth. This blade drew the gaze of all onlookers, as if it could devour everything. As it fell, it even distorted the starry sky, as if the starry sky itself would be torn open by this blade!

A black Dragon roared, raising its head, and charged directly towards that Heavenly Blade!

With an earth-shattering boom, the first blade, at the instant it fell, began to collapse from its tip, transforming into countless swirling fragments. This collapse continued to spread, frantically expanding, as continuous rumbling sounds echoed, and the entire blade body instantly disintegrated!

At this instant, the second blade descended from the sky. As soon as this second blade approached, it immediately formed a powerful storm. The strength of this storm was shocking, and as it fell, the starry sky cracked, and large Rifts appeared. The fragments from the collapse of the first blade immediately merged into this second blade at this moment.

The second blade, with a strange whistle, suddenly descended.

A continuous thunderous roar within a radius of ten thousand li instantly replaced all other sounds, echoing in the ears of all Cultivators. Some Cultivators with weaker cultivation were even shaken by this sound, their eyes immediately losing focus.

This second blade, having absorbed the might of the first, struck directly, clashing with the black Dragon! Amidst the loud noise, the black Dragon's furious roar resounded. The black Dragon's entire body trembled, and its massive head violently whipped, but with a series of bangs, the second blade also collapsed!

The third and fourth blades arrived instantly, absorbing the fragments of the previous two blades. The third blade even dissipated on its own before it landed, merging into the fourth blade, forming an unimaginable blade light that descended with a roar!

Amidst violent roars, this black Dragon's body collapsed, turning into large swathes of black wind that swept in all directions. At the same time, the final fourth blade also collapsed with a rumble!

What collapsed with it was the thousand-li light screen. It could no longer withstand the immense impact, shattering into countless fragments. The thousand-li light screen was no more!

The fierce impact, now unobstructed, vented outwards. The surrounding Cultivators' expressions changed drastically, and the elders of their respective Families immediately unleashed Divine Abilities to protect their clansmen.

However, those green stones all retreated under the storm, and many even exploded directly, turning into lime. For a time, the tens of thousands of li outside Di Yan Star seemed to fall into a catastrophe.

The black-clothed man sitting cross-legged on the crimson stone now had a pale face and sharp eyes. The stone beneath him shattered with a bang, forcing his body to fly up. The remaining five blades also flew out from the collapsing stones, following close behind the black-clothed man.

With a pale face, the man immediately retreated.

Four blades destroying one black Dragon was an astonishing feat. Wang Lin's eyes flashed with cold light, and the second black Dragon roared and charged out.

"Aren't we going to fight? Why are you retreating!" With one step, he seemed to merge with the black Dragon, charging out frantically, heading straight for the retreating black-clothed man.

The black-clothed man's eyes flickered with sharp light, revealing intense Battle Intent. Hearing this, he paused his steps, clasped his hands in front of him, and then pushed outwards fiercely, shouting loudly: "Heavenly Blade Slaying Demon!"

The five blades around him immediately vibrated, emitting sharp blade cries. As they spun, they transformed into five silver rainbows, charging straight towards Wang Lin. In the starry sky, these five silver rainbows transformed into five Heavenly Blades, simultaneously descending directly towards Wang Lin.

The black Dragon roared, and as it charged out, its eyes flashed with a faint glow. Wang Lin stared at the descending Heavenly Blades, and the Scroll on the ninth floor of the Treasure Collection Pavilion in his mind became even clearer.

"Summon Wind and Rain, Sow Beans to Make Soldiers…" At this moment, the characters that had once appeared on the Scroll surfaced in Wang Lin's mind.

The black Dragon's eyes glowed intensely. At this instant, it opened its mouth and exhaled Yin wind, but this Yin wind was not entirely wind! There was also rain!

Although there wasn't much rain, it was indeed rainwater!

In an instant, beneath this starry sky, black wind swept, and within it, a hundred drops of rain merged, immediately enveloping the surroundings in a chilling dampness. With the appearance of the rainwater, the five descending Heavenly Blades trembled abruptly, and crackling sounds emanated from them.

The black Dragon roared, charging out to meet the five Heavenly Blades head-on!

Boom, boom, boom… continuous violent sounds caused the starry sky to shake, creating endless impacts in the surroundings. Cultivators tens of thousands of li away rapidly retreated one by one. Only those with profound cultivation could remain unmoved amidst this impact, their eyes like torches, witnessing the clash of the two great Divine Abilities!

The lingering roar of the black Dragon was still present, but its body had dissipated, and the black wind between heaven and earth had also vanished without a trace. Wang Lin's face was slightly pale, and his body retreated a few steps, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

"This person's cultivation is comparable to mine, but he is a formidable opponent!" Wang Lin's gaze flickered, and with a sway of his body, he merged into the heavens and earth, disappearing.

The black-clothed man rapidly retreated, his face devoid of color. The collapse of all five Heavenly Blades had injured his mind, but his eyes showed no horror, only an even stronger Battle Intent.

With a wild laugh, he stomped his right foot backward, stopping his retreat. As his right foot landed, a tremendous crashing sound echoed in the starry sky, and large Rifts appeared behind him.

"Refreshing! Since my Blade Dao reached Major Achievement, besides Seniors and those with great Divine Abilities, I have never encountered any opponent of equal cultivation. When I was in Soul Transformation, I was the foremost person below Yin Void. When I was in Yang Manifestation, I was the foremost person below Nirvana Scrutiny. You are worthy of being my current opponent!"

The black-clothed man, Nangong Han, laughed wildly, performing Hand Seals in front of him. Immediately, the starry sky around his body twisted, and nine illusory blades suddenly appeared.

However, just as these nine illusory blades appeared, a ripple flashed in the Void Realm beside him, and Wang Lin stepped out, his right hand forming a sword with two fingers, pointing it out without hesitation!

This finger strike contained Wang Lin's Dao, containing his Nirvana Scrutiny primordial power. As it pointed out, black and white Yin and Yang twin fish rotated, like a Seal, suddenly falling towards Nangong Han!

Nangong Han suddenly turned around, his body rapidly retreating. As he performed Hand Seals, the illusory blades in front of him immediately flashed out like lightning. However, Wang Lin appeared too suddenly and too close. Only two of these nine illusory blades formed a block, and at the instant Wang Lin's eyes were indifferent and he pointed, these two illusory blades immediately collapsed!

Using the moment of collapse, Wang Lin's two fingers descended towards Nangong Han's glabella.

Nangong Han's pupils suddenly contracted. A sense of life-and-death crisis, never before experienced, surged through his entire body in an instant. At this moment, he unhesitatingly formed a palm with his right hand, and amidst a flash of silver light, it collided with Wang Lin's fingers!

With a bang, a fierce surge of primordial power directly rushed into Nangong Han's body. His entire body trembled as he retreated explosively, blood welling up from his chest, but he forcibly suppressed it. What astonished him even more was that the opponent's primordial power that entered his body was actually two streams of black and white Qi. These two streams of black and white Qi continuously destroyed, were extremely resilient, and even emitted a ripple of Concept from within!

Here, Wang Lin's fingers had already lost all sensation. He had the advantage of a sneak attack. Although the opponent's resistance also caused primordial power to rush into his body, he could resist it. However, Nangong Han's primordial power was like a blade light, extremely sharp. After entering his body, it was like a knife, almost tearing his body apart.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed with cold light. Instead of retreating, he took a step, merging into the Void Realm.

Nangong Han's pupils suddenly constricted when he saw Wang Lin disappear again. He quickly performed Hand Seals and shouted in a low voice: "Nine-Bend Blade Array!" In an instant, the two collapsed illusory blades reappeared, interweaving with the other seven to form a blade array. It rapidly spun, transforming into countless silver threads, immediately encircling Nangong Han's body and spreading outwards fiercely.

Wang Lin's figure materialized three zhang away from Nangong Han. As the fine threads of the blade array approached, the beast bone pattern on his right hand flickered, immediately transforming. Amidst the faint glow, those silver threads immediately emitted a gray light. Using this instant, Wang Lin suppressed his internal injuries and once again vanished without a trace.

Nangong Han gasped, retreating rapidly, continuously shouting: "Stop, stop!! I surrender!! There's no way to fight this, you possess the Divine Ability of Shrinking the Ground into an Inch, how am I supposed to fight!! Stop!" He continuously retreated, even changing direction, speaking rapidly.

"I've already surrendered, and you're still haunting me. Alright, I'm a coward, I'm not fighting anymore!" Nangong Han smiled bitterly. He didn't want this either, but facing a Nirvana Scrutiny Cultivator who possessed Shrinking the Ground into an Inch was simply too disadvantageous.

As these words came out, the image of a powerful Cultivator that Nangong Han had previously cultivated immediately collapsed. Twenty zhang away from him, Wang Lin's figure materialized, frowning as he looked at Nangong Han.

In his entire life of fighting, he had never encountered such a person… "No more fighting, no more fighting. It's not too late to fight again when I've comprehended Shrinking the Ground into an Inch. Right now, it's not worth it for me, I can't beat you." Nangong Han had a frustrated look, and with a flicker, he immediately retreated, heading towards a crimson stone. A person was originally sitting cross-legged on that stone, but at Nangong Han's glare, they immediately understood and vacated the spot.

Wang Lin was silent for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, looking around calmly, and asked: "Are there any more challengers?"

The surroundings were silent. Shen Gonghu quietly watched all of this, the dim light in his eyes gradually brightening. Looking at Wang Lin, although the fanaticism was gone, respect had reformed.

The surrounding Cultivators all looked at Wang Lin, but in the end, no one stepped forward.

"Xu Mu, the first among the one hundred and eight Immortals of the Southern Domain. In seven days, after the remaining one hundred and seven people are chosen, follow me to the Thunder Immortal Palace!" the purple-robed elder slowly said.
