Chapter 124 – World Law
The wandering soul struggled as it charged toward the transfer array. Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he saw the wandering soul. The dozens of people inside the transfer array saw the wandering soul flying toward them and immediately retreated. They all took out their magic treasures and nervously watched the wandering soul’s every move.
As the wandering soul drew closer, the people inside became increasingly nervous. The wandering soul slammed into the protective light screen barrier on the transfer array.
Wang Lin’s expression remained the same, but he secretly sighed. The moment the wandering soul touched the barrier, it turned into smoke. The people inside the formation began to cheer. They felt more confident now that this transfer array could protect them.
“Newborn soul devourers are useless. That transfer array is a gateway to the world of the living. Any soul lifeform that touches it will be immediately destroyed by the laws of the world.”
A voice entered Wang Lin’s mind. He stared at the transfer array with an unchanged expression and began to ponder. After a long time, his eyes lit up. He pointed a few times in the air, and more than ten wandering souls flew toward him, struggling.
Wang Lin sneered. He pointed at the transfer array, and all the wandering souls charged toward it. The difference in rank meant they couldn’t resist at all.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he realized something about the barrier. As the wandering souls approached, a black line appeared. It was the black line that entered the wandering souls that killed them.
As for how the black line appeared, Wang Lin couldn’t see it from afar. His face was filled with doubt.
Without a word, he spread his divine sense, capturing over a thousand wandering souls, and sent them toward the transfer array. These wandering souls quickly charged toward the transfer array. Screams came from the people inside the transfer array. The cultivators’ faces all turned pale. When there were only one or two wandering souls, they were somewhat afraid. When there were more than ten, they panicked with fear, but with over a thousand wandering souls, fear was no longer an adequate description. It would be more accurate to say they were terrified.
Some of them even closed their eyes in despair, but most of them placed their last hope in the barrier. However, they were also prepared to commit suicide if the barrier failed, as they would rather die than be eaten.
This has become a general consensus among farmers.
The moment the 1,000 wandering souls touched the barrier, they screamed and vanished. It was as if they had all been blown away by the wind and vanished without a trace.
Wang Lin suddenly stood up. He clearly saw what had just happened. Those black lines would appear out of thin air and attack the wandering souls. No matter which angle the wandering souls attacked from, the black lines would appear and destroy them.
This black line is clearly related to the world law that its neighbors are talking about.
Wang Lin’s gaze turned cold as he sent out another wave of divine consciousness and gathered over 2,000 wandering souls. These wandering souls were forced to commit suicide attacks by him.
At this moment, the cultivators inside the transfer array finally relaxed a little from their fear, but they immediately began to panic again. Not because they didn’t trust this barrier, but because of the fear they had developed of the wandering souls on their way here.
It’s like being surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves. Even though you’re surrounded by fire, you’ll still feel afraid.
2000 wandering souls charged in as Wang Lin pointed his finger. The changing wandering souls that had followed behind him showed a pleading expression, not daring to move forward.
Wang Lin stared at the wandering soul. Although the wandering soul possessed intelligence, this was the first time he had seen a soul begging. Wang Lin stared at the wandering soul, and his eyes became cold.
The wandering soul screamed. It couldn’t withstand the pressure of Wang Lin’s divine sense, so it charged forward. As it charged out, it was clearly different from the other wandering souls. All the other wandering souls retreated. Although there weren’t as many as Wang Lin, the other wandering souls were clearly afraid of this one.
As the 2,000 wandering souls hit the barrier, black lines appeared and destroyed them all. Just then, the mutated wandering souls arrived.
Wang Lin’s pupils suddenly shrank as he showed a happy expression. Half of the mutated wandering soul’s body had entered the barrier even though the black line had entered his body.
The mutated wandering soul showed a pained expression, but it still broke through the barrier and leaped onto a cultivator. The cultivator quickly let out a miserable scream and turned into a mummy.
At that moment, more than ten black lines appeared and entered the mummy’s body. The mutated wandering soul quickly exited the body with a pained expression, but it didn’t get far before being destroyed.
The expressions of the cultivators inside the transfer array suddenly changed when they saw the mummified body. Some of the female cultivators began to cry.
Yang Xiong took a deep breath. He stepped forward and kicked the mummified body out of the transfer array.
Wang Lin’s eyebrows furrowed. He carefully pulled out a wisp of his divine consciousness and sent it toward the transfer array. As it approached, a black line shot through his divine consciousness with lightning speed.
Wang Lin’s divine sense quickly retreated and avoided the black line. The black line suddenly changed direction and attacked towards Wang Lin’s divine sense.
Wang Lin gritted his teeth. His divine sense no longer dodged, but instead charged forward to meet the black line. He wanted to see how strong the black line was. If it were before, he wouldn’t have dared to try, but since the mutated wandering soul was able to withstand the blow, then it shouldn’t be too dangerous.
The black line quickly entered Wang Lin’s divine sense. Suddenly, a destructive force exploded in the divine sense and attacked Wang Lin’s main body.
Wang Lin’s eyes sparkled. His powerful divine sense shot out and quickly surrounded the destructive power. Then, he began to study the destructive power carefully.
After a long time, Wang Lin silently sighed. His divine sense moved and destroyed the destructive force. Although he couldn’t fully see this destructive force, he knew that this black line would severely damage his soul. It was as if it was designed to destroy souls.
Wang Lin knew that if the black lines exceeded a certain amount, even he would not be able to withstand it.
Wang Lin closed his eyes. After a long moment of contemplation, his eyes suddenly opened. He took out three storage bags and examined them. Besides Mai Liang’s token, he also took out several mid-grade spirit stones.
Xu Hao and Ge Yang were also extremely unlucky. Right after they killed Mai Liang, they encountered a group of wandering souls. Although they managed to escape, they didn’t know why, but every time they encountered a wandering soul, the wandering souls would chase after them. Even if the wandering souls were chasing someone else, they would give up and chase after the two of them. One of the wandering souls even vomited half of the soul it had eaten and leaped towards the two of them.
With such special care, it was unlikely the two would survive for long. They were quickly devoured by the wandering souls. Since they didn’t have time to check Mai Liang’s bag, at least it meant nothing was missing from it.
After examining the three storage bags, Wang Lin was extremely surprised. Whether it was spirit stones, magic treasures, or materials, you name it, they had it.
It must be said that this is the result of 50 years of work by both of them.
Including the mid-grade spirit stones, there were over 2,000 between the two of them. Wang Lin held the spirit stones and recalled a formation he had painstakingly learned while in the realm of decay: the Mysterious Tortoise Shell Destruction Formation. This formation had no offensive capabilities, but it possessed excellent defense. It was also one of the few formations that could move with the person who set it.
This kind of formation, which could provide mobile protection, required a lot of spirit stones. Wang Lin thought that once he obtained some spirit stones, he would have to lay down some of these formations.
He calculated the time it would take to open the transfer array, then crushed the spirit stone in his hand. He calmly dipped his finger into the shattered spirit stone and drew a symbol in the air. He focused completely on each stroke. Once he completed the symbol, he quickly sent out a sliver of divine sense.
The symbol glowed faintly and floated in the air. Then, he crushed another spirit stone and drew another symbol. Each mid-grade spirit stone could draw one symbol, and Wang Lin had already crushed 70.
There were a few failures. Although Wang Lin was very familiar with the theory, when he actually did it, he still made a few mistakes.
Looking at the 49 symbols floating before him, Wang Lin couldn’t help but sigh. This formation was too expensive. Previously, Wang Lin didn’t have many mid-grade spirit stones, so even if he used all his wealth, he wouldn’t be able to lay down this formation.
Wang Lin took out another spirit stone to create the formation eye. He waved his hand, and symbols landed on the spirit stone one by one. Each time a symbol landed on a spirit stone, it lit up once.
After the 49 symbols landed on it, the spirit stone became crystal clear. Wang Lin reached out, and the formation eye spirit stone landed in his hand. He pointed at his forehead, and an invisible layer surrounded his body. If one didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t even notice a trace of it.
Soon after, Wang Lin created another formation. The more he did it, the more familiar he became, and the fewer failures he experienced. The second formation only required 60 mid-grade spirit stones.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the moment the formation would open drew near. Everyone inside the transfer array was extremely nervous. They hoped the formation would open soon so they could leave this terrifying place.
And over the past few days, the collapse of the foreign battlefield continued. Spatial cracks began to appear more and more frequently, and each time, they were larger than the last. Most of the foreign battlefield began to collapse.
As the transfer array opened, Wang Lin placed the final formation on himself. He stood staring at the transfer array with a solemn expression.
