âI actually forgot he could use this extremely domineering Stop spell!â A huge wave was set off in Greedâs heart and fear filled his eyes.
âThis nemesis is too despicable. He had this spell, but didnât use it before and waited until I took out my most powerful treasure to extinguish my last hope!!â Greedâs body and origin soul were completely frozen. He was unable to move an inch and could only watch as Wang Lin closed in.
The broken statue gave off no aura and silently floated on Greedâs right side.
Wang Linâs body gradually shrank as he moved forward. When he arrived before Greed, he had already turned to the size of a normal person. He didnât pay attention to Greed but grabbed the broken statue.
After seeing Wang Lin taking his most powerful treasure, Greed felt as if a sword had pierced his heart. Once, twice, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times, the sword pierced his heart, causing Greed intense pain until blood flew down from the corner of his mouth.
âItâs just a treasure, I believe Senior Greed wonât be stingy. Back then, Senior gave me a lot of treasures, and now that we meet again, Iâll gladly accept these.â Wang Lin smiled as he carefully looked at the broken statue.
Wang Linâs expression changed as he looked at the statue.
This statue looked very ordinary and there were many damaged parts. It was a carving of a person, but they had a strange appearance.
This person looked like a middle-aged man wearing a cloud pattern robe. He had a plain appearance but gave off a sense of majesty. The sense of majesty wasnât strong and didnât terrify you, but when Wang Linâs gaze made contact with the statueâs gaze, his entire body trembled!
His body trembled!
The space before Wang Lin disappeared and everything was torn apart. An indescribable force rushed out from the statueâs eyes and entered Wang Linâs mind.
The world rumbled in Wang Linâs ears and even space itself was torn apart! The entire world collapsed into the void and Wang Lin, impacted by the blow, was lost in this confusion.
After an unknown amount of time, 10 years, 100 years, 1,000 years, 10,000 years⦠Until one day Wang Lin saw a continent in the void. This continent was boundless. Wang Lin was enlightened; he felt that this continentâs size far exceeded the entire Ancient Star System. Even adding the Inner and Outer Realms together, they wouldnât be even cover 1/10,000 of the continent.
Everything he saw in his mind dissipated and turned into nothingness. Wang Linâs body trembled and he awakened.
Space was still that space, the world was still the same world. Greedâs eyes were filled with fear and he couldnât move due to the Stop spell.
Wang Lin silently pondered.
It didnât matter how many years he had spent in that mysterious state, because after he awakened, Wang Lin realized that it was only an instant!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If there was really a time, then it would be the moment his gaze met the gaze of the statue!
âWas it an illusionâ¦â Wang Lin revealed a complicated expression. He didnât understand, but what he saw just now was deeply imprinted in his heart. He could never forget it in his life.
âThat⦠What is itâ¦â Wang Linâs gaze fell on the statue once more. This second time was different than before. The seemingly ordinary statue seemed to have changed and gave off an indescribable sense of majesty!
This majesty could make any cultivator before it feel like an ant! Even the world had to yield! Wang Lin even had a vague feeling that even third step cultivators would⦠tremble before the statue!
âWho the hell is heâ¦â Wang Lin silently pondered.
Out of all the statues he had seen in his life, only Qing Linâs statue in the Demon Spirit Land could break down oneâs mind. Although this statue didnât dismantle oneâs mind, Wang Lin had a vague feeling that Qing Linâs statue was like an ant before this statue!
The statue was only a ordinary middle-aged man. The man was looking up with a calm expression; there was no emotion being shown.
âWhere did you obtain this statue?â Wang Lin was still looking at the statue and not at Greed when he spoke.
As he spoke, he waved his hand which, loosened the Stop spell on Greed so he could speak.
Greed silently pondered for a moment before letting out a sigh and saying, âIn an ancient tomb.â
âIn order to enter the Ancient Star System, you have to break the Sealing Realm Formation, which is impossible with your cultivation level. How did you get here?â Wang Linâs voice was cold and it invaded Greedâs mind, causing Greedâs body to tremble.
âIt was also that ancient tomb⦠All of my treasures were obtained in that ancient tomb.â Greed gave up resisting. He understood that if he told the truth, he might have a chance of survival. He knew that the person before him was a monster and would never show mercy.
If he aroused Wang Linâs suspicion and Wang Lin used soul search, then even if he didnât die, he would lose his sanity.
Wang Linâs eyes lit up as he looked at Greed and slowly said, âWhat tomb? Explain in detail, donât force me to search your soul!â
Greed didnât dare to conceal anything and quickly spoke.
âAfter escaping from the Moongazer Serpent, I didnât die but hid on a half-abandoned planet in Allheaven. I was hiding from you and spent time recovering.
âAfter a long time, I didnât see you chasing after me. I realized you probably thought I was dead. I felt a peace of mind and focused on recovering on that planet until I was completely recovered. Then I decided to leave.
âAt that time, you were no longer in Allheaven. The entire Allheaven Star System was extremely empty as a majority of the cultivators had gone to the Alliance Star System for the war. This gave me an opportunity.
âI was safe along the way and I didnât want to return to the Alliance Star System. Also, because I was devoured by the Moongazer, a stench had latched onto my body and origin soul. The smell lingered and it was unbearable.
âThus, I traveled across the stars, looking for a way to get rid of this stench from my body. Days and nights passed until one day I approached the barrier to the Lightning Celestial Realm. There, I found a strange vortex.
âThat vortex appeared very suddenly as if it had purposely appeared before me. I didnât find it very strange, Iâve encountered even stranger things in my life. Like back when I was at the Core Formation stage, I faced an enemy I was no match for and the furnace fell from the sky, smashing my enemy to deathâ¦â
Wang Lin frowned and said, âStay on point!â
Greedâs body trembled and he quickly said, âAfter the vortex appeared, I had a powerful feeling in my mind. I had never felt a feeling this strong before. Not when the furnace fell from the sky and killing my enemy, or when I saw the Moongazer Serpentâ¦â
Just as he said this, he saw Wang Lin frown. His mind felt cold and he stopped wasting time. âI didnât hesitate to rush into the vortex. Just as I entered it, the vortex disappeared. The vortex had appeared for no more than three breaths of time.â
Wang Linâs eyes lit up and then gradually became cold. He stared at Greed and slowly said, âIt sounds like the vortex was opened specifically for youâ¦â
Greedâs expression changed and quickly said, âIâm not lying, everything I said is true. I know you donât believe me, but itâs the truth, and itâs not the only time it happened to me.
âWhen I was eight, just playing in the village. I was able to find yellow essence. I fell off a cliff and found a Vermillion Fruit and obtained the ancient thunder dragon. The furnace fell from the sky and killed my enemy. Others need to fight for the rain furnace, but I was just flying outside and the rain furnace flew to me.
âUpon entering the Celestial Realm, others spend a lot of time carefully looking for celestial jades but find few. When I went there for the first time, I was teleported into the cave of a celestial king⦠There was also an ancient inheritance from the Alliance that was difficult for others to find the entrance to. I walked three steps and was teleported insideâ¦â Greed was afraid Wang Lin wouldnât believe him. If it was all a lie, it wouldnât matter, but Greed knew that everything he had said was true.
Sometimes even he found it unbelievable.
Wang Lin interrupted Greedâs explanation and slowly said, âContinue. What did you see after entering the vortex?â
âThe vortex seemed to be another world; it was extremely chaotic and filled with spatial cracks. Just one step meant certain doom. There were countless pieces of floating boulders, and the depths were surrounded by fog, so I couldnât get a clear look.
âI couldnât find an exit there and was locked there for hundreds of years. The death aura there was extremely strong, and from my observation, I figured that place should be a tomb!
âI even saw a giant head on a boulder. This head was about 1,000 feet large and extremely ferocious. It had stars between its eyebrows⦠I found the Emperor Furnace there. There was still incense smoke burning as if it was worshipping.
âAs I went deeper, I found even more heads. These heads all gave off powerful resentment and reluctance. Some of them had a single horn or two horns! Some of them had treasures before them!â As Greed recalled this, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
