Chapter 948: The Fight Resumes
The Cang Heaven Spell Blade, the Yu'ao Dragon King, the Zu'e Grand Sage and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage looked at the scene going on underneath the Saros Magical Tree and the Netherworld Taiji Diagram that spun non-stop.
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage was the cultivator who lived the longest in this Outer Realm and he was very clear on what was happening. He knew that Wang Lin was cultivating the black mountain, a manifestation of an Ancient Satanic Sect cultivator, and the Heaven-Carrying Ants.
Looking at the situation before him, Wang Lin was clearly trying to fuse the Immortal Soul Second Level's spell body together with the Heaven-Carrying Ants. In doing so, he would form an even stronger avatar.
Not only would the avatar be strong, because of the many Heaven-Carrying Ants, it could come together and split apart as it pleased. Ten thousand Daoist soldiers could form into a single entity and a single entity could turn into ten thousand Daoist soldiers.
When the Lu Yuan Grand Sage thought about how everything before him should have been his, his heart blazed with rage. However, because of the Saros Magical Tree, he could do nothing about it but watch.
The Yu'ao Dragon King too sighed and shook his head as he turned his head to look at the Zu'e Grand Sage and said, "This time, I have burdened you."
The Zu'e Grand Sage shook his head and said coldly, "If I could leave this place today, I swear I will tear every single member of the Celestial Sect of Wonders to pieces."
The sword spirit of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, Cang Heaven Blade, too was silent. He stared at the Saros Magical Tree and Wang Lin's Netherworld Taiji Diagram form.
The Nine Heavens Sword Sword Shadow that he coveted was right before him, and yet he could not obtain it. Now, he had offended Wang Lin and company, which meant that his troubles were just starting.
Cang Heaven Blade did not regret his own actions. It was near impossible to succeed, but as long as a single strand of hope left, then he shall do his best to fight for it and hope for success. Of course, he had to contend with the risk of failure.
In a blink of an eye, or an eternity, the Netherworld Taiji Diagram began to spin slower. However, the power at its center grew stronger and stronger as it produced an even more powerful attraction force, like a black hole in outer space, as it forcibly dragged everything into its center!
The spiritual energy around it and the magnetic power in the environment were all dragged to the center of the Netherworld Taiji Diagram.
Right now, it was like a whirlpool. At this time, in the heart of the whirlpool, a humongous and terrifying power began to awaken. Initially, it was only a tiny bit but as time passed, it grew.
Finally, it was as if heaven and earth had split open. The vilest, most terrifying thing appeared to be forming underneath whirlpool.
Finally, the giant whirlpool stopped and turned no more.
In the center of the whirlpool, a giant slowly stood up, brimming with an unlimited amount of terrifying, destructive power.
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's pupils shrunk when he saw the giant. Its face resembled Wang Lin's exactly. Its head touched the skies and its feet stood firmly on the ground.
This was the avatar Wang Lin formed after he had cultivated the Avīci Satanic Appearance of the deceased Satanic Way cultivator and infused it with the bodies of ten thousand Heaven-Carrying Ants as well as his own powers.
The Heaven-Carrying Great Saintly Satanic Avatar!
When this avatar appeared, it roared fiercely. In its roar one could feel a vast, frenzied and murderous aura.
Raw strength brimmed from the avatar, powerful and all-encompassing. The avatar appeared to contain its very own independent universe. As it raised its hand, it was like the chaotic beginning of Creation where the Heavens and Earth separated. As it stomped, it was as if a star had gone out, bringing with it an apocalyptic destruction.
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Zu'e Grand Sage and the Yu'ao Dragon King all had ugly expressions on their faces. They realized that the physical strength of Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar was in no way weaker to their Undying Demon Soul Third Level true forms.
The Yu'ao Dragon King, who was never even strong physically, could not compare to Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar even if he was at full strength.
This terrifying power, which seemed capable of shifting the mountains and plucking the very stars and moon from the sky, was in no way weaker than the Immortal Soul Third Level Zhuge Zhan's strength that he obtained through cultivating the Solar Cultivation Manifestation Mantra, which was more than enough to take on an Undying Demon Soul Third Level demon.
What caught their attention too was that the avatar possessed not only strength but also spells and mantras. A light shone over its head as it turned into a realistic projection. It not only had the Four Appearances and the Eight Trigrams, but it also contained ten thousand roaring Netherworld spirits. It was as if a tiny world was encapsulated in the diagram.
That was the manifestation of the Great Satanic Avatar's martial prowess. Right now, the Great Satanic Avatar was only its initial stage and the crystallization of its martial prowess was only in its very first stages. However, it was enough to strike fear in others.
In the days to come, with more cultivation, it would only become more and more powerful.
The Great Satanic Avatar landed on the ground and the entire Outer Realm trembled. The Netherworld Taiji Diagram on its head spun and Wang Lin regained his human form. He sat cross-legged on the right ear of the Great Satanic Avatar as he looked calmly at the Lu Yuan Grand Sage.
His gaze fell upon the circular diagram on the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's forehead.
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage who had fought against Wang Lin directly felt a shudder in his heart as he met Wang Lin's gaze. He felt that there was something different about Wang Lin.
It was not only because he obtained a powerful Martial Way avatar. His own body felt different.
He thought about how he found it harder and harder to reflect Wang Lin's spells and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's sage became more serious.
At the same time, the rage in his heart flared up even more intensely. The Great Satanic Avatar should have been his.
Wang Lin sat on the Great Satanic Avatar's right ear and Shi Tianhao sat on its left ear. The Great Satanic Avatar's form was incredibly huge and hence, even the lobe of his ear felt extremely spacious.
Shi Tianhao too caught the attention of the Yu'ao Dragon King and the Cang Heaven Blade. While his body was so much smaller than the Great Satanic Avatar's that he appeared to be a mosquito next to an elephant, the body in his frame was exceedingly terrifying.
The strength that coursed through his veins appeared to be something solid, like iron. Compared to earlier, he appeared even more powerful.
His small frame appeared to have the body to lift the very heaven.
The demons all possessed an ability for spotting talents. Looking at Shi Tianhao, their hearts grew cold as they thought, "While he did cultivate the essence of the Heaven-Carrying Ant, it was still that of a Heaven-Carrying Ant Queen who had yet to form her original true spirit. While it's powerful, his own powers were already exceptional. His strength should not have increased so much..."
The three demons and the one sword all felt a wave of suspicion in their hearts. However, time did not allow them to ponder too much. Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "Now, the fight resumes."
With that, his form flashed, and he appeared before the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and company!
Wang Lin arrived next to him at the same time. He handed Yang Qing and company over to the Saros Magical Tree as he and the Great Satanic Avatar cut through the void and appeared right before the Lu Yuan Grand Sage!
The Great Satanic Avatar waved its hand and its ten fingers turned into claws. It slashed towards the Lu Yuan Grand Sage in an attack known as the Avīci Divine Claws, a powerful Martial Way attack of the Ancient Satanic Sect.
The cultivators of the Ancient Satanic Sect could cultivate their Avīci Undying Bodies into Avīci Satanic Appearance, which were all powerful Martial Way avatars. Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar was able to inherit the martial prowess of the Ancient Satanic Sect perfectly.
Right now, under this powerful strength, where a single claw could tear about the heaven, earth and the void, it was as if the Outer Realm was at risk of being torn to shreds.
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's face was green as he clashed heads-first with Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar. In terms of physical strength, he was disadvantaged.
This made him even more frustrated and panicky. He leered at Wang Lin and said, "Little b*stard, you stole what should have been mine but it can only be a shield for you, sparing you from my Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances. However, no matter how strong your avatar is, it can do nothing to me!"
"If you fall into my hands in the future, I will skin you alive!"
As he said that, he opened his mouth and expelled a ray of cruel, white light. The white light spread apart in the skies like a sea of light as it engulfed Wang Lin and the Great Satanic Avatar.
Wang Lin's looked at him coldly and shed his human form as he turned into a Netherworld Taiji Diagram. As he spun, a colorful ball of light appeared in the center of the Taiji Diagram. It appeared both real and illusory and its movements were hard to follow. From it, one could feel a tremendous amount of energy.
The ball of colored light shot straight at the Lu Yuan Grand Sage. Tightly afterwards, Wang Lin used his own Yama Imperial Pavilion to smash the Lu Yuan Grand Sage.
The circular diagram on the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's forehead flashed like a mirror. White light shot out from it, enveloping both the colored ball and the Yama Imperial Pavilion.
A replica of the Yama Imperial Pavilion appeared in mid-air. However, Wang Lin's ball of colored light only trembled slightly upon coming into contact with the light from the mirror.
An identical ball of light appeared in the void too. However, it disintegrated almost instantly.
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's face changed color. His Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances was not invincible. If his opponent's attacks were powerful to a certain extent, then he would be unable to reflect it.
However, Wang Lin's attack did not appear to have changed in terms of quality compared to just now. Yet, he was unable to reflect the ball of colored light!
The colored ball of light sliced silently through the void. Yet, it was like a hammer as it smashed against a bright, yet fragile, mirror as it completely shattered the white light!
Then, it shattered the Yama Imperial Pavilion in the white light too. In the next instant, Wang Lin's Yama Imperial Pavilion smashed directly on the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's head, making him bleed.
At the same time, the Great Satanic Avatar punched out, coordinating with Wang Lin's attack. It directly smashed the chest of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, who was already bleeding from his head because of the Yama Imperial Pavilion. This time, he was sent flying as blood poured everywhere from his true form.
He was barely able to dodge another one of Wang Lin's attack. He stared at Wang Lin in disbelief as he said, "The spell just now..."
Wang Lin was expressionless as he said, "I have been thinking about this spell for quite some time. Before today, it was not yet mature, and I only have a vague idea of it. Battling with you makes me think about the many bottlenecks I had encountered and today, I am finally able to succeed."
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's heart sank as he thought, "This spell..." A panic and sense of danger like which he had never felt before rose in his heart. However, he did not have much time to think as Wang Lin resumed his attack.
This time, he was prepared and hence, he was not caught off-guard. However, as he was already injured, his battling abilities fell. Coupled with the fact that his Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances was shattered, he was sure to lose against Wang Lin now.
He looked to his side at the Yu'ao Dragon King and company, and the sense of despair in his heart rose even more.
He saw Shi Tianhao sent the Yu'ao Dragon King flying with a single punch!
