Chapter 188 – Legacy of the Ancient Gods (part 2)
Wang Lin was able to see everything that was happening outside while he was hiding in the heaven-defying bead space.
Initially, before the heaven-defying bead acknowledged him as its master, he was unable to do this, but after he reached the middle stage of Core Formation, he noticed a change the moment he entered the bead’s space.
This feeling had also appeared when he first entered the Core Formation stage, but it wasn’t as pronounced as it was now. Wang Lin felt that his cultivation was only one of the reasons. Another reason might be his soul growing stronger.
The soul wandering in the third realm allows the soul to grow rapidly.
Now, when he was inside the heaven-defying bead space, all he had to do was reach out for a ray of light to be able to see what was happening outside.
He was shocked by the appearance of the Six Desires Demon God. He didn’t expect the Six Desires Demon God to be able to reach the exit of the third realm and reach the body of the Ancient God.
Furthermore, from the whirlpool where Six Desire Devil Lord appeared, it seemed like he had just been teleported from the fourth realm transfer array.
Wang Lin became very worried. He decided that once the Six Desires Demon King left, he would take a different path. If the two of them met here, it wouldn’t be good for Wang Lin.
However, what happened next completely shocked him.
The objects consumed by the Six Desire Devil Lord seemed very familiar to him. He suddenly recalled the tunnel, where the Six Desire Devil Lord had used a technique.
After recalling those memories, he took a deep breath. However, doubts arose in his mind. Didn’t it seem like the Six Desire Devil Lord had absorbed him too easily?
It seemed everything was ready, just waiting for the Six Desire Devil Lord to arrive and devour them. He could clearly feel the Six Desire Devil Lord growing stronger.
The Six Desires Demon Sovereign felt a power he had never felt before. The Mysterious Sky Demon’s cultivation had reached completion. His heart was filled with joy. The goal he had pursued for thousands of years was finally achieved. He felt very confident.
This belief arose from the desires he had recently absorbed from the body of an Ancient God. By combining these six desires, he created a very special power that allowed him to control life and death.
However, before Six Desire Devil Lord could savor the feeling, his heart suddenly sank. His face turned ugly. From a distance, a meteor-like shadow was crashing towards him.
“Old man, since you don’t care about our master/disciple relationship, don’t blame me for killing you!” The Six Desires Demon Lord sneered. He remained motionless as he stared at the approaching shadow.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow had arrived before the Six Desires Demon Sovereign, revealing the Sky Demon Witch.
He stared at the Six Desire Devil Lord with barely concealed joy in his eyes, laughing. “Good! As expected of my disciple. You dare to absorb the will of an Ancient God. Yi Er, your master truly needs to thank you.”
Wang Lin was stunned. He was able to see everything that was happening from within the Heaven-Defying Bead’s space with the help of the Heaven-Defying Bead. The appearance of the Sky Demon Witch shocked him greatly. This person’s devil-like body looked very similar to Hunchback Meng’s.
What surprised him even more was that this person seemed to be the teacher of the Six Desire Devil Lord.
Wang Lin didn’t know that the person in charge of the expedition to the Land of the Ancient Gods was the Sky Demon Witch, but after analyzing it, he got a rough idea of what happened.
From what the man said, Wang Lin knew that the Six Desires Devil Lord had devoured the Ancient God’s will. Although he didn’t know what the Ancient God’s will was, he understood the implications of what he had just witnessed.
The Demon Lord of Six Desires revealed a cold expression. Without a word, his hands quickly formed a seal in front of his chest. He then whispered, “Spirit of Desire, appear!”
As the words left his lips, pillars of smoke of different colors appeared behind the Six Desire Devil Lord. Ferocious spirits emerged from each pillar of smoke, snarling at the Sky Devil Magician.
The Sky Demon Sorcerer’s eyes were filled with greed. He didn’t stop the Six Desires Demon Lord, but instead activated the same technique. As the Six Desires Demon Lord activated his technique, the Sky Demon Sorcerer also whispered, “Spirit of Desire, appear!”
Suddenly, behind the Sky Demon Witch, a similar pillar of smoke appeared which formed six ferocious spirits that charged forward.
The Six Desires Devil Sovereign revealed a sly smile. Although he had learned from the Sky Demon Witch, he knew that the Sky Demon Witch hadn’t taught him any specific cultivation techniques regarding the Mysterious Sky Demon. Since a long time ago, he had been improving his Mysterious Sky Demon cultivation himself. He was confident that his Mysterious Sky Demon cultivation was in no way inferior to the Sky Demon Witch’s.
As the two nearly identical techniques clashed, the Sky Demon Sorcerer suddenly let out a strange smile. He abruptly opened his arms, and his body rapidly began to float upwards.
Her hair fluttered in the windless air, and waves of spiritual energy radiated from her body.
The Sky Demon Witch muttered, “Use the bone as a guide…” Her voice sounded a little heartbroken. As those words were spoken, the golden bone in the Six Desires Devil Sovereign’s hand began to tremble until it exploded into countless golden specks, disappearing into the Six Desires Devil Sovereign’s hand.
The golden spots flowed like a golden river towards the Sky Demon Witch. They regrouped into a golden arm bone before him. This time, his hand was almost closed, only his index finger pointed at the Six Demon Lord of Desire.
Wang Lin stared at the scene before him. He found it strange that the Six Desires Devil Sovereign could so easily absorb the Ancient God’s will. It was as if something was manipulating the events. The moment the Sky Demon Witch appeared, Wang Lin suddenly realized that all of this was orchestrated by the Six Desires Devil Sovereign’s master. If this was the case, then the Sky Demon Witch must have a grand purpose in mind.
A thought crossed Six Desire Devil Lord’s mind. Ignoring the fighting spirits, he began to retreat. A red light appeared around him, and he immediately fled. At that moment, he realized why the whirlpool he had created using his arm bone at the exit of the third realm had collapsed.
The bone arm wasn’t actually his, but it still belonged to the Sky Demon Witch. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have suddenly left him and returned to its original master with just a single word.
The moment the arm bone left him, the connection he had had with him for a thousand years was instantly severed. This shocked him and made him think about many things.
The Sky Demon Witch showed a satisfied expression. She didn’t even look at the Sixth Demon Witch and said in a calm voice, “Use desire as a sword…”
The six spirits fighting with the six spirits of the Sky Demon Witch immediately screamed. They turned back into smoke and merged to form a person’s shadow.
Meanwhile, the Six Desire Devil Lord, who had been fleeing with red light surrounding him, began to disappear silently. When he reappeared, he discovered, to his horror, that he was once again next to the Sky Devil Magician.
He appeared exactly where the shadows formed by the six spirits were. Specifically, the two merged into one.
The Sky Demon Witch’s voice began to sound demonic. “Use this person’s blood and essence as a sacrifice…” As those words were spoken, the Six Desires Demon Sovereign lost his ability to resist. Small explosions injured every part of his body, causing him to bleed profusely.
With a wave of the Sky Demon Witch’s right hand, all the blood gushing out of the Six Desires Demon Lord’s wounds began to form a ball of blood that floated in the air. Throughout this entire process, his body was controlled by an invisible force, rendering him completely unable to resist.
“Use this person’s cultivation to form a path… use Ancient God Tu Si’s six desires as a medium… open the place where the Ancient God’s soul rests…” The Sky Demon Sorcerer’s eyes revealed a crazed expression. He had waited 4,000 years for this.
In fact, when he entered the Land of the Ancient Gods a thousand years ago, it wasn’t his first time, but his third. 4,000 years ago, when he first entered the Land of the Ancient Gods, using a magical treasure, he was able to pass through the third realm and enter the fourth realm. It was then that he obtained the arm bone. He realized that this place contained unimaginable fluctuations of will. Others would only feel a sense of unease in their hearts, but he was extremely sensitive to this because he had already used various wills as attacks.
The Sky Demon Sorcerer could be considered a peerless genius. When he detected this strange desire, he didn’t immediately absorb it, but instead used the arm bone to leave the Land of the Ancient Gods.
After leaving, he worked hard to study his will until he created the Mysterious Sky Demon Cultivation Method. When he came here for the second time, he also reached the fourth realm, but realized that the Ancient God’s will had become even greater. He also began to observe those demonic cultivators.
He was shocked. He decided to flee, and after a fierce battle, he barely escaped. It was then that he discovered some secrets about the legacy of the Ancient Gods.
After escaping, the temptation was too great for him to handle, so, after much thought, a very bold plan formed in his mind. After a thousand years of preparation, the time had finally come.
From his death to the moment he handed over the inheritance to the Demon Lord of Six Desires, everything had been carefully planned by the Sky Demon Witch.
In the third realm, even if Hunchback Meng didn’t summon him, he would appear when the Demon King of Six Desires was in danger. His goal was to get him to enter the fourth realm.
It could even be said that ever since he accepted Six Desire Devil Lord as his disciple, everything was done for the sake of what happened today.
The Six Desire Devil Lord’s body finally exploded into a mist of blood. As for his Nascent Soul, the Sky Devil Magician took it and transformed it into boundless spiritual energy.
The Sky Demon Witch’s eyes were filled with excitement and madness. She clasped her hands together and spat out a mouthful of blood into the spiritual energy. She said in a terrifying voice, “Ancient God, lead the way… go, fear of the Ancient God!”
Suddenly, the golden arm bone floating in the air exploded with a loud bang. The bone created a circle of golden ripples that condensed into a golden circle in the air.
Meanwhile, a black dragon emerged from the Six Desire Devil Lord’s blood mist. The black dragon had an extremely ferocious expression. It turned toward the Six Desire Devil Lord’s spiritual energy and sucked in nearly a sixth of it. As its body began to glow, it slammed into the golden circle.
At that moment, the entire Land of the Ancient Gods seemed to shake. If it weren’t for the restrictions the Sky Demon Sorcerer had set up beforehand, all the other demonic cultivators would have immediately noticed.
A rumbling sound rang out. The black dragon continued to pound against the invisible barrier. Numerous cracks appeared where the black dragon struck. As soon as the black dragon finished pounding the barrier, its entire body dissipated into white smoke, disappearing from the Ancient God Realm.
The Ancient Gods have lost their Fear Desire forever!
Wang Lin was stunned by the sight before him from within the Heaven-Defying Bead’s space. His heart pounding, he revealed a look of joy. The golden arm bone was truly the bone of an Ancient God. It was even the bone that was missing half of its ring finger that was in Wang Lin’s storage bag.
However, what made Wang Lin’s heart even more excited was the spot where the black dragon had struck. A thought crossed his mind as he stared at that spot.
“Go away, greed of the Ancient Gods!”
Amidst the blood mist, a red dragon appeared. It swallowed one-sixth of the Six Desires Demon Lord’s spiritual energy and struck the same spot mercilessly.
After that, joy, jealousy, and ignorance all appeared, each as a dragon, and struck the golden ring. When the last dragon, formed by ignorance, struck the same spot, the area shattered, revealing a tunnel.
The Sky Demon Witch laughed heartily. Her hand reached into the tunnel and grabbed a round, light blue ice crystal. The ice crystal was about ten feet wide, but the tunnel wasn’t even three feet wide.
Wang Lin stared at the tunnel. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up on his risky plan to get out.
The Sky Demon Witch formed a seal with her hands and sent a beam of spiritual energy toward the ice crystal. At that moment, her expression changed. She could sense that someone had broken through her restraints and was coming at her at breakneck speed.
His face showed a reluctant expression. It could be said that the barrier he had previously created was the strongest barrier he could create. He had also layered many other barriers on top of it. Even for him to break through it, it would take a very long time. Although the Ancient God’s body was immense, it was unlikely that anyone would break through it. He had still done a lot of work on the barrier just in case.
Only this time, he never expected a soul devourer to appear. Or that the owner of the Blood Sea had sent all the demonic cultivators into the body of the Ancient God to pursue the soul devourer.
As a result, there were bound to be some inevitable changes to his plans, but he couldn’t afford to waste this opportunity. He was also quite confident in his limitations. That’s why he continued with his plan.
