Amidst the black flowing light, the body of the Zhujian Grand Sage collapsed and destructed with an irreversible, unstoppable and irresistible momentum. His form started to degrade quickly.
There was no earth-shaking change or any immense vibration of frightening mana. However, in that relative silence, a sense of inevitability could be felt.
It was as if things were supposed to happen in this way and this was only natural.
It seemed that this path of destiny that the Zhujian Grand Sage embarked on was nothing of surprise.
But as this scene landed in the eyes of everyone else, they only felt a sense of incredulity and absurdity.
Mo Ling Zhujian, the current leader of the Zhujian tribe and a powerful demon under the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, was extremely formidable. He had started the Cardinal Tribulations Stage and it wasn’t even his first time trying to overcome the Cardinal Tribulations either.
The Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow was very notorious and many people were afraid of it. They were unwilling to go against this arrow.
Even while there were many cultivators in the same level as the Zhujian Grand Sage, they did not dare to rival him. It was probably because his Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow was extremely malicious and was very lethal in its offensive attack.
Especially when the Zhujian Grand Sage locked on his target using the Single-Eyed Secret Manual, it made it extremely tough for the opponent to escape from him. His demonic arrow, that was cultivated from the luminaries, possessed a destructive ability that could not even be withstood by others who were even more powerful than him.
Just before, when he used his last arrow to attack Wang Lin, the hearts of everyone witnessing it sank.
The leader of the Hall of the Dead, Xu Anda, was one of the most skilled among all the Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators. He was even comparable to a demon with the syncretic star soul.
Against a demon in the Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage, due to the special characteristic of the Emperor of the Dead lineage, he even had some degree of self-preservation powers that could help him to resist the demon.
However, if he challenged the Zhujian Grand Sage without a magic treasure, the situation would not be too optimistic for him.
The Cang Heaven Blade, one of the Nine Treasures of the Heaven’s Gate, had already reached the Mahayana level during the Antiquity Age. All these years, it had not endured any tribulations, but it did not become inferior to outstanding Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators of the human race.
Yet, against the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Cang Heaven Blade admitted its inferiority.
The Cang Heaven Blade was a sword that was merciless in killing and offensively deadly. Even so, the Zhujian Grand Sage did not adopt a defensive stance against the Cang Heaven Blade. In a life-and-death battle between both parties, the Cang Heaven Blade might be able to hurt the Zhujian Grand Sage, but it would not meet with an optimistic fate either.
Even for the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage who was under the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage too, and who was proficient in the control and change of space, he would not dare to claim that he could withstand the last arrow of the Zhujian Grand Sage although he was defensively sound.
Perhaps his ancestor, a pure-blooded Xuanwu, could resist the arrow forcibly. But for him, it was impossible.
The Feiyi Grand Sage and the Bifang Grand Sage were both in awe as they saw the terrifying Turbid Wave Demonic Arrow of the Zhujian Grand Sage.
They wouldn’t forget that when the Zhujian Grand Sage was still in the Undying Demon Soul Third Level, he managed to kill another demon in the same level with his demonic arrow while remaining unharmed totally.
As the one with the highest cultivation among everyone present and as a demon who had endure the Cardinal Tribulations even more times than Ning Wan’ge, the Zhujian Grand Sage was undoubtedly the most powerful individual around.
However, it was exactly this ferocious demon who was swallowed by the mysterious and unpredictable black flowing life without even struggling, and his form was even degrading as time passed.
This ridiculous scene left everyone around, including the Rotary Grand Sage, Feiyi Grand Sage, Bifang Grand Sage, Xu Anda and Cang Heaven Blade, feeling farcical. At the same time that they felt things were preposterous, they could not help but develop a chill down their spines.
Whatever that they witnessed cause great confusion in their minds.
If Wang Lin’s cultivation realm had increased suddenly and his powers ballooned, or that he used a destiny-level magic treasure, all of them could accept the fact that he was able to kill the Zhujian Grand Sage.
But what they saw was that Wang Lin had clearly reborn twice and his powers never once declined. However, he seemed like a judge, determining the fate of the Zhujian Grand Sage with his words. Following that, he sent the Zhujian Grand Sage on his way to death.
This was beyond the imagination of everyone.
The Netherworld Taiji Diagram formed from Wang Lin’s Immortal Soul was filled with cracks, as if it had been torn apart. The Netherworld on the Taiji Diagram was not even debris; it was engulfed by desolation and was on a slope of destruction.
The Netherworld Taiji Diagram spun slowly before turning back to its human form, revealing the look of Wang Lin.
The injury on his arm was still there. Not only this injury, he also sustained two separate injuries in front of his chest and stomach which seemed to be much more critical than the one on his arm. Drops and drops of the essence of the Great Dao seemed to trickle down his body like beads of blood.
Wang Lin looked to be extremely pale and there was no color in his face. But his eyes were never so bright before. As he stared at the ten words covered by intersecting black and white radiance in front of him, he watched the Zhujian Grand Sage disappearing into the black flowing light. That inexplicable power concept even prevented the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and the other demons from extending their help to save the Zhujian Grand Sage.
“As expected, this new spell is still incomplete.” Wang Lin appeared calm, but he sighed slightly.
This sigh of his was heard by the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and the others, which to them, sounded like roaring thunder. This young man in front of them with white, flowing hair might have appeared to be exceedingly weak at this point, but his figure still seemed to be very frightening.
The bunch of demons could not help but think of the same thing, “He’s only in the Immortal Soul First Level, but what’s with the spell that he just used?”
Among Lin Feng’s Immediate Disciples, the one who was monitored the most closely by the demon tribe was Zhu Yi, as he possessed the Higan Golden Bridge.
Whereas Shi Tianhao was the one that the demons were most familiar with. He was the disciple under Lin Feng who travelled in and out of the Barren Expanses most frequently. He slayed many demons, which earned him his notoriety among the demon clan.
At times, his notoriety was earned from his voracious appetite…
As compared to them, Wang Lin was less prominent although the demons still monitored him closely.
However, after today’s battle, Wang Lin’s name would certainly spread in the Barren Expanses.
With his Immortal Soul First Level cultivation, he slayed the Zhujian Grand Sage who had reached the Cardinal Tribulations Stage. This meant that he was bound to be a household name in the Grand Celestial World soon.
It was even till the extent that from today onwards, Wang Lin was no longer under the protection of Lin Feng anymore. As he was exceptional, his reputation soared in both the Divine Lands and Barren Expanses, and he became an individual that could no longer be underestimated in the Grand Celestial World.
Since the moment that Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao were termed as the Four Heroes of the Celestial Sect, and when they formed their Immortal Souls during the Anti-Celestial Sect War, they had already made their ascent towards the biggest stage there was to offer, dancing alongside the bunch of powerful elders that were once above them.
And after today’s battle, Wang Lin was about to move from the edge of this stage to the center of it.
The War of the Two Worlds presented limitless dangers, boundless opportunities and endless changes. The fall of a powerful individual signified the rise of another one.
Among all of Lin Feng’s Immediate Disciples, Wang Lin was the first to make this leap today.
And what made the Rotary Grand Sage and the others depressed was that Wang Lin was not the only one under Lin Feng!
Those who participated in the War of the Two Worlds were all remarkable individuals.
As the battles ensued, all of them revealed their hidden abilities gradually.
Right now, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was also starting to stifle many in the Divine Lands and Barren Expanses. When others thought of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they found it difficult to develop any shred of resistance against the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
After the projection of the Twelve Sages Heavenly Revolving Formation disappeared, the look of torment and struggle in Ning Wan’ge’s eyes disappeared gradually. Just at that point, she witnessed Wang Lin summoning the new spell for the third time and killed the Zhujian Grand Sage.
She was also greatly aware of what the Zhujian Grand Sage was capable of. Hence, she was particularly shocked at the result of the battle.
However, very soon, Ning Wan’ge calmed herself down and focused. Without the disruption by the mana of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, a look of peace filled her eyes once again.
The surrounding lights around her flashed continuously, but they did not lose control just like before anymore. Rather, they oozed out an even more mystical aura.
Ning Wan’ge looked at Wang Lin and said gently, “Sorry.”
Although she was trapped in an intractable state just before, Ning Wan’ge was mindful of how her sudden changes could affect the results of the battles after she regained her senses.
While Wang Lin did manage to kill the Zhujian Grand Sage, he paid a heavy price too. And she was partly the reason for this.
Ning Wan’ge turned her head and looked at the Bifang Grand Sage. This caused the Bifang Grand Sage to be swept by a wave of discomfort.
She stared at the Bifang Grand Sage but did not speak. As her figure flashed, she had already flown towards the Bifang Grand Sage.
Ning Wan’ge was very bothered about how the mana of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was able to make her lose control.
The Bifang Grand Sage, Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and the Feiyi Grand Sage all took in a deep breath and they wore complicated looks.
Although Wang Lin appeared to be very weak, and that the spell he used to kill the Zhujian Grand Sage did bear a heavy burden on him, the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and the others did not dare to underestimate him. No one could guarantee if he would employ the use of the spell once again.
Similarly, even though the Extreme Dao Nirvana and the Life Substitution Heavenly Pill were expended, no one could guarantee that Wang Lin did not have any other life substitution spells that he could use.
The result of today’s battle left them astonished and there were many things that they were confused about.
The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage and the others were unwilling to engage this completely unknown threat before they familiarize themselves with his background. After all, the Zhujian Grand Sage had shown them what the consequences would be if they dared to act rashly.
Moreover, even without Wang Lin, as Ning Wan’ge teamed up with the Cang Heaven Blade and Xu Anda in her clear state, they would pose a major threat.
While Wang Lin would sustain further damages if he continued to battle, the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage did not have the intention of perishing alongside him
Under such a circumstance, the Rotary Turtle Grand Sage, Bifang Grand Sage and FEiyi Grand Sage retreated without any hesitation.
“That ring has landed in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.” The Rotary Turtle Grand Sage, Feiyi Grand Sage and Bifang Grand Sage eyeballed one another and their hearts were heavy.
They did not benefit anything and even lost the Zhujian Grand Sage. They were clueless about how they should account to the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.
