179: Chapter 179 Unnamed Wood Domain ambushed, fighting against many with one's own (draft)

Lin Wan restrained his Aura and flew over a scorched patch of land. He looked back at the boundless sea of fire behind him, still feeling a lingering fear. Although he had won the battle against the Lava Earth Dragon, the consumption was not small. Especially when he forced the Lava Earth Dragon to flee in the end, he had used almost his full strength, and nearly thirty percent of his Chaos Immortal Energy had been consumed. If not for the preliminary Fusion of the four types of dao rhyme into a Dao Seed phantom, which gave him stronger control over his Chaos Reincarnation Domain and made his application of the "existence" and "the end" dao rhyme more proficient, he really might not have been able to handle that thick-skinned fellow.

"However, the harvest is worth it." Lin Wan introspected into his Storage Ring at the "geocentric fire lotus" flowing with red radiance, as well as the three plump, crystalline lotus seeds, and felt slightly settled. This geocentric fire lotus contained pure earth heart fire essence, which had miraculous effects on tempering the immortal body, comprehending the Fire Dao, and strengthening the Fire-attribute Origin. Especially for a Cultivator like him who Cultivates Chaos Immortal Energy, any pure Five Elements Origin was a great tonic that could accelerate the accumulation and evolution of his Chaos Immortal Energy.

"First, leave the Fire Region, find a safe place, refine a portion of the geocentric fire lotus to recover the consumption, and then head deep into the Wood Region." Lin Wan made up his mind and increased his speed.

After flying for about half an hour, a wide river shimmering with pale green light appeared ahead. The river water was clear and full of vitality. On the other side of the river was a boundless, lush primeval forest. Ancient trees towered into the sky, vines were intertwined, and exotic flowers and herbs covered the ground. The dense Wood-attribute Spiritual Qi had almost condensed into a solid substance, turning into a faint cyan mist drifting between the trees.

"The Wood Region, I have arrived." Lin Wan's spirit lifted. The Wood Region, belonging to the Wood of the Five Elements, was full of vitality, completely different from the scorching violence of the Fire Region. There were many Spirit Medicines here and abundant Wood-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure, but it was equally fraught with danger. Most Wood-attribute Yao Beasts were good at camouflage, entanglement, and poison attacks, and there were even some eerie plant-type Yao monsters that were hard to guard against.

He did not rashly cross the river but landed in a hidden thicket by the riverside, carefully scanning the river surface and the forest on the opposite bank with his Divine Sense. This "Green Wood River" was the dividing line between the Fire Region and the Wood Region. The river water contained dense Wood Spiritual Qi, nourishing the living beings on both banks, but there were also hidden dangers in the river, with Yao Beasts skilled in Water-attribute and Wood-attribute Divine Ability.

After confirming it was temporarily safe, Lin Wan flickered, like a falling leaf, drifting silently across the hundred-zhang-wide river surface and landing in the forest on the opposite bank.

Upon entering the forest, the dense Wood-attribute Spiritual Qi rushed towards him, making his spirit soar. Lin Wan took a deep breath, and his Chaos Immortal Energy automatically circulated, absorbing and refining the pure Wood Spiritual Qi, converting it into pure Chaos Immortal Energy to replenish his previous consumption. The inclusiveness of the Chaos Immortal Energy was fully demonstrated at this moment; whether it was the violent Fire Spiritual Power or the gentle Wood Spiritual Power, it could be easily refined without any obstruction.

"Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth... I just refined the fire essence of the geocentric fire lotus. If I absorb some Wood-attribute essence, using Wood to generate Fire, complementing each other, perhaps I can make the Fire-attribute Origin even stronger, and even initially condense a trace of the Fire-attribute Law seed. This would be beneficial for my comprehension of the Fire Dao and even for strengthening the Chaos dao rhyme." Lin Wan thought to himself while moving through the forest. The Five Elements Dao was the fundamental Law that constituted the world. Comprehending the Five Elements was directly helpful for his understanding of how Chaos evolves all things.

He did not go deep into the forest but followed the edge of the Green Wood River, looking for a suitable place. Soon, he discovered a hidden cave covered by vines on a cliff. The cave entrance was not large, but the interior was quite spacious and dry, and there were natural rock crevices through which one could observe the outside world, making it a good temporary Immortal Cave.

Lin Wan entered the cave and set up the "Small Five Elements Formation Flag" at the entrance, activating the Formation. Although this set of Formation Flags was only of Low Grade Immortal Artifact level, it had comprehensive functions, combining concealment, defense, and early warning effects. He had exchanged for it with Karma points, and it was just the right time to use it.

The Formation was activated, and the cave entrance flashed with light, then returned to normal, merging with the surrounding mountain walls. If Divine Sense swept over it, one would only feel that the Spiritual Qi here was slightly denser, with no abnormalities visible. Unless one was specifically proficient in Formations or had a cultivation base far exceeding his, it would be difficult to discover.

After setting up the Formation, Lin Wan felt slightly relieved. He sat cross-legged and took out the "geocentric fire lotus".

As soon as the fire lotus appeared, the temperature in the cave rose sharply, red radiance flowed, and dense Fire Spiritual Power permeated the air. If not for the isolation of the Formation, it would likely have alarmed the Yao Beasts outside.

Lin Wan did not swallow the whole plant; that would be too wasteful, and with his current cultivation base, he would find it difficult to refine it completely. He carefully plucked the smallest lotus leaf and put it into his mouth.

The lotus leaf melted upon entering his mouth, turning into a torrent of scalding, incomparably pure Fire-attribute Spiritual Power that rushed into his limbs and bones! This Fire-attribute Spiritual Power was not the scorching violence of ordinary flames, but contained a kind of heaviness and warmth from the depths of the earth, like a core-of-the-earth furnace, endless and continuous.

"What a pure Fire-attribute Origin!" Lin Wan was delighted and hurriedly circulated his Chaos Immortal Energy to guide and absorb this massive Fire-attribute Spiritual Power.

The Chaos Immortal Energy was like a millstone, rapidly refining and absorbing the inflowing Fire-attribute Spiritual Power, merging it into his own immortal essence. Lin Wan could feel that his Chaos Immortal Energy, after absorbing this pure Fire-attribute Origin, had become thicker and more condensed, and his affinity for Fire-attribute Spiritual Qi had also increased a bit. More importantly, deep in his Dantian, in that Chaos-colored ocean of immortal essence, a faint trace of crimson light was vaguely condensing. That was a sign of his initial comprehension of the Fire-attribute Law and the condensation of the Origin.

"It works!" Lin Wan's spirit was greatly boosted, and he refined it with all his might.

A day later, Lin Wan opened his eyes. A flash of red light vanished from his eyes, and the Aura around him became even more profound and steady. A single leaf of the geocentric fire lotus had not only allowed him to fully recover the immortal essence he had consumed previously, but also brought a slight improvement. More importantly, he had initially condensed a trace of the Fire-attribute Law seed, making his comprehension of the Fire Dao much clearer.

"If I refine this entire geocentric fire lotus and the three lotus seeds, my Fire-attribute Origin might reach an astonishing level, and I might even be able to initially grasp the power of the Fire-attribute Law!" Anticipation flashed in Lin Wan's eyes. However, he also knew that refining the geocentric fire lotus required time, and he could not be disturbed during the process. Right now, in the Five Elements Small World, dangers were everywhere, and it was not a good time for long-term closed-door cultivation.

"First, refine one lotus seed to stabilize the Fire-attribute Origin, then leave. Wait until I find a safer place to refine the entire fire lotus." Lin Wan took out a lotus seed from the lotus pod of the geocentric fire lotus. The lotus seed was only the size of a pigeon egg, completely crimson, crystalline, and translucent. Inside, it seemed as if magma was flowing, containing a Fire-attribute Origin that was purer and denser than the lotus leaf.

He did not hesitate any longer and swallowed the lotus seed.

The lotus seed entered his belly and instantly turned into a more majestic and purer Fire-attribute Origin, even faintly carrying a trace of the heaviness of the Earth Law. Lin Wan hurriedly restrained his mind and used all his strength to circulate his Chaos Immortal Energy to refine and absorb it.

This time, the refining took longer. It took a full three days before Lin Wan completely refined this lotus seed. When he opened his eyes again, his entire Aura had undergone a subtle change, as if a volcano about to erupt was hidden within his body, scorching yet restrained. His comprehension of the Fire Dao was several times clearer than before. In the sea of immortal essence in his Dantian, that trace of crimson light had condensed into a tiny, seed-like crimson dot. Although it was still very weak, it had initially taken shape.

"The Fire-attribute Law seed, the prototype has formed!" Lin Wan was delighted. This meant that as long as he continued to comprehend and strengthen this seed, he would be able to truly master the Fire-attribute Law in the future! Although it was only one of the Five Elements, a ten-thousand-foot tower rises from the ground; this was a crucial step.

"It is time to leave." Lin Wan removed the Formation at the cave entrance, restrained his Aura, and like a ghost, left the temporary Immortal Cave and flew towards the depths of the Wood Region.

In the Wood Region, ancient trees towered into the sky, blocking out the sun. Various exotic flowers and herbs emitted dense vitality and Spiritual Qi. Lin Wan traveled while carefully avoiding some powerful Wood-attribute Yao Beasts, and at the same time, spread his Divine Sense to search for Wood-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure.

"Green Spirit Fruit, can be used to refine Wood-attribute Medicinal Pill, improving Wood-attribute Cultivation Technique cultivation."

"Jade Vine, incomparably tough, is an excellent Material for refining binding-type Magic Treasure."

"Millennium Wood Heart, contains pure Wood Spiritual Qi, can assist in Cultivating, and can also be used to refine Magic Treasure."

Lin Wan had gained a lot along the way. With Chaos Immortal Energy, his perception of Wood-attribute Spiritual Qi was exceptionally acute. Coupled with his Divine Sense, which far exceeded those of the same rank, his efficiency in searching for Heaven And Earth Treasure was extremely high. However, he also tried his best to avoid treasures guarded by powerful Yao Beasts, not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble. His main targets were the Five Elements Dao Derivation Platform, as well as the special Opportunity he might encounter along the way that could help him comprehend the Five Elements Dao.

Three days later, Lin Wan arrived at a strange forest. The trees here were not green, but presented a faint metallic luster. The leaves were like knives and swords, incomparably sharp, and the trunks were as hard as iron. In the air, besides the dense Wood-attribute Spiritual Qi, there was also a trace of sharp Metal-attribute Qi mixed in.

"Metal overcomes Wood, Wood generates Fire... The Wood-attribute Spiritual Qi here contains Metal Qi; it seems this is the boundary area between the Wood Region and the Metal Region." Lin Wan understood in his heart. In the Five Elements Small World, the five major regions were not completely separated. At the boundaries, the Spiritual Qi attributes would permeate and influence each other, forming some special environments, and it was easier to nurture exotic treasures.

He slowed down and became more careful. This kind of boundary area was often more dangerous and could breed Yao Beasts that possessed both attributes, or give birth to some mutated Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Sure enough, after passing through a forest with a metallic luster, an open space appeared ahead. In the center of the open space grew a strange plant. It was about three feet tall, presenting both cyan and gold colors, as if cast from bronze and gold. Its main trunk was straight, and it had nine leaves, each shaped like a small sword, flashing with sharp cold light. At the top of the plant grew three fruits the size of longans, half verdant and half golden, emitting dense Wood and Metal dual-attribute Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

"Gold-veined Wood Origin Fruit!" Lin Wan's eyes lit up. This was a rare dual-attribute Spirit Fruit, containing pure Wood and Metal Origin. It was a great tonic for Cultivators who Cultivate Wood and Metal-attribute Cultivation Technique, and it could simultaneously strengthen the Physical Body and Divine Soul, and even help in comprehending both the Wood and Metal Dao. Even for him, a Cultivator of Chaos Immortal Energy, it had considerable benefits, as it could simultaneously strengthen both the Wood and Metal Origins.

However, where there is a treasure, there is bound to be a guardian.

Beneath the Golden Pattern Wood Origin Fruit tree, a strange Yao Beast was coiled.

This Yao Beast resembled a giant python, but its entire body was covered in cyan and gold scales. The edges of the scales were as sharp as knives, and it had a pair of small, branch-like horns on its head. Its eyes, one cyan and one gold, glimmered with a cold light.

Its Aura had clearly reached the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm, and it possessed both Wood and Gold attributes. In this place where Wood and Gold energies converged, its strength could not be underestimated.

"A Golden-Thread Wood Python, and judging by its size and Aura, it is already approaching the Peak of the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm." Lin Wan recognized this Yao Beast.

The Golden-Thread Wood Python was a rare breed among dual Wood and Gold attribute Yao Beasts. It was incredibly fast, had astonishing defensive scales, and could manipulate both Gold and Wood elemental attacks, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

If it were before, Lin Wan might have chosen to bypass it, avoiding a head-on confrontation with this troublesome Yao Beast.

But now, his cultivation had broken through to the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm, and his Fire Element Law Seed had begun to condense. His strength had greatly increased, and he was looking for an opponent to test it out.

Moreover, these three Golden Pattern Wood Origin Fruits were very attractive to him.

"Just right to test my skills on you." A hint of Battle Intent flashed in Lin Wan's eyes. He stopped hiding his Aura, took a step, and appeared at the edge of the clearing.

"Hiss—!"

The Golden-Thread Wood Python instantly sensed Lin Wan's presence and abruptly raised its head. Its two vertical pupils, one cyan and one gold, coldly locked onto Lin Wan. Its scarlet snake tongue flickered, emitting a threatening hiss.

"I want the Golden Pattern Wood Origin Fruits. Move aside, and I will spare your life." Lin Wan spoke indifferently. His voice was not loud, but it clearly entered the Golden-Thread Wood Python's ears.

"Hiss!" The Golden-Thread Wood Python seemed to understand Lin Wan's words. Feeling the anger of being slighted, it let out a sharp hiss. Its body, over ten zhang long, suddenly sprang up like a cyan-gold bolt of lightning, shooting towards Lin Wan!

Its tail, covered in sharp scales, tore through the air, carrying a piercing shriek as it lashed fiercely at Lin Wan!

The speed was astonishing, far exceeding that of an average Late Stage Earth Immortal Yao Beast!

"Well come!" Lin Wan did not dodge or evade. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, his Chaos Immortal Energy surged, and he threw a punch!

On his fist, a crimson light faintly circulated; that was the power of the newly condensed Fire Element Law Seed!

"Chaos Return to Void!"

This time, the fist imprint was no longer purely gray but mixed with a trace of crimson. Its power was even more domineering, carrying an Aura of burning and destruction!

Fire overcomes Metal. Lin Wan was using the Fire Element power he had just comprehended to restrain the Golden-Thread Wood Python's Metal attribute!

"Boom!"

The fist imprint collided violently with the snake tail! The sound of metal clashing exploded, and shockwaves rolled out, shaking the surrounding metal trees until they trembled, their leaves flying out like throwing knives.

"Hiss!" The Golden-Thread Wood Python let out a painful hiss. Several scales on its tail had actually been blasted off, exposing the flesh beneath and causing blood to flow freely.

For the first time, a look of fear appeared in its cold vertical pupils.

This human Cultivator's fist not only had astonishing power, but it also carried a scorching force that even its tough scales could not withstand!

"Fire Element power?!" The Golden-Thread Wood Python had high intelligence and instantly understood how troublesome Lin Wan was.

What it feared most was fire! Metal is overcome by fire, and Wood is also overcome by fire! The human before it was simply its nemesis!

"Know fear now?" Lin Wan sneered. Pressing his advantage, he flickered, used "Void Shift", and instantly appeared beside the Golden-Thread Wood Python, punching again at its vital seven-inch spot!

The Golden-Thread Wood Python was both shocked and angry. Its massive body twisted strangely, narrowly avoiding the vital point. At the same time, it opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of cyan-gold poisonous mist, which contained countless tiny golden wood thorns that shot towards Lin Wan like a rainstorm!

"Mere tricks!" Chaos Qi surged around Lin Wan, blocking and refining all the poisonous mist and wood thorns.

Chaos Immortal Energy could dissolve all poisons; mere wood thorns were nothing to speak of.

"Samsara Tribulation Finger!"

Grabbing the gap while the Golden-Thread Wood Python was dodging, Lin Wan pointed his finger. The gray finger energy, silent and soundless, instantly appeared before the Golden-Thread Wood Python's other golden vertical pupil!

"Puff!"

The golden vertical pupil shattered upon impact! The Golden-Thread Wood Python let out a scream of extreme misery, its massive body twisting crazily, lashing the ground into a mess.

Blinded in one eye, the intense pain made it completely insane!

"Let's end this." Lin Wan's gaze was cold. Not giving it any chance, he held his fingers together like a sword. A gray light condensed at his fingertips, and Sword Qi containing the "the end" dao rhyme flickered, ready to decapitate the beast with one strike.

However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three incomparably sharp attacks came from three different directions without warning, instantly sealing off all of Lin Wan's escape routes!

A palm print, black as ink and emitting foul-smelling poisonous gas, descended from the sky, slamming towards the top of Lin Wan's head!

A blade glow, red as blood and burning with raging flames, slashed across his waist!

And a pink, eerie sound wave carrying lascivious music struck silently, heading straight for Lin Wan's Sea of Consciousness!

An ambush! And the timing was perfectly grasped, exactly at the moment when Lin Wan was fully dealing with the Golden-Thread Wood Python, with his old strength exhausted and new strength not yet born!

"Finally couldn't hold back?" Cold light flashed in Lin Wan's eyes. He had actually detected the several hidden Auras around him long ago but kept them in check without acting, focusing on dealing with the Golden-Thread Wood Python.

At this moment, the people in the shadows finally made their move!

Facing these three sharp attacks, Lin Wan did not panic. With a thought, the "Small Five Elements Formation Flag" that he had been setting up around him was instantly activated!

Five-colored brilliance soared into the sky, forming a semi-circular light shield that enveloped Lin Wan.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The pitch-black palm print, the crimson blade glow, and the pink sound wave slammed fiercely into the five-colored light shield!

The light shield vibrated violently, its brilliance flickering, but it ultimately blocked this sudden ambush!

"Eh? A Formation?" A voice of surprise and suspicion rang out.

Three figures emerged from three directions, surrounding Lin Wan and the Golden-Thread Wood Python in the middle.

The person on the left wore a black robe, had a sinister face, and was surrounded by black Qi. His Aura was cold and chilling. He was a Disciple of the Xuan Yin Sect, with a Late Stage Earth Immortal cultivation, and was the person who had sent the pitch-black palm print earlier.

The person on the right was burly, with red hair like fire, holding a long saber burning with fierce flames. His Aura was violent. He was a Disciple of the Tian Sha Sect, at the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm, and the crimson blade glow just now was released by him.

Directly in front was a young woman wearing a pink gauze dress, with a graceful figure and a charming appearance. She held a jade flute, her eyes flowing with a soul-stirring charm. She was a Disciple of the Hehuan Sect, also at the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm, and the pink sound wave attack just now was her method.

The three, surprisingly, belonged to the Xuan Yin Sect, Tian Sha Sect, and Hehuan Sect, and all were at the Late Stage Earth Immortal realm!

Clearly, they had long been lying in ambush here, waiting for Lin Wan and the Golden-Thread Wood Python to both suffer injuries, or for a flaw to appear, so they could launch a fatal blow!

"The Xuan Yin Sect, Tian Sha Sect, and Hehuan Sect; you really think highly of me, Lin, for three sects to join forces in an ambush." Lin Wan dispersed the Formation light shield and looked at the three calmly, seemingly indifferent to the dangerous situation before him.

That one-eyed Golden-Thread Wood Python, feeling the three powerful Auras, trembled in fear, curled up to the side, and dared not move.

"Lin Wan, hand over the geocentric fire lotus and everything you obtained in the Secret Realm, and we might consider leaving your corpse intact." The sinister man from the Xuan Yin Sect spoke gloomily, his gaze scanning Lin Wan like a venomous snake.

"Why waste words with him! Just take him down, extract his soul and refine his spirit, and naturally, we will know all the secrets!" The red-haired brute from the Tian Sha Sect had a fiery temper, pointing his flaming long saber at Lin Wan with chilling killing intent.

"Giggle, Young Master Lin, why resort to killing? As long as you are willing to return to the Hehuan Sect with me, I guarantee you will enjoy supreme earthly pleasure. Perhaps, I might even spare your life." The charming woman from the Hehuan Sect covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes flowing with charm, her voice carrying a strange magic that seemed to hook into one's soul, making people involuntarily feel goodwill and relax their vigilance.

However, Lin Wan's Divine Soul was powerful, and he had Chaos Immortal Energy protecting his body; how could he be affected by this little bit of seduction technique? His expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "Just based on the three of you?"

"Arrogant!" The red-haired brute from the Tian Sha Sect roared and made the first move. "Taste my 'Heavenly Evil Flaming Slash'!"

He gripped the saber with both hands, his body's Evil Qi merging with the flames, and slashed out. A ten-zhang-long crimson blade glow, carrying the momentum to burn the sky and boil the sea, slashed down towards Lin Wan's head!

Wherever the blade glow passed, the air was scorched and distorted, and the metal trees below were baked charred black by the emitted high temperature.

At the same time, the sinister man from the Xuan Yin Sect also moved. His figure flickered, turning into three black shadows, rushing towards Lin Wan from different directions. The three black shadows simultaneously struck out pitch-black palm prints. The palm prints reeked of foul odor, contained potent poison, and sealed off the space for Lin Wan to dodge.

The charming woman from the Hehuan Sect brought the jade flute to her lips and began to play lascivious music. The sound waves were invisible but struck directly at the Sea of Consciousness, disturbing the mind, causing hallucinations, and weakening Battle Intent.

The three coordinated tacitly, clearly having premeditated the attack. They used kill moves right from the start, giving Lin Wan no chance to catch his breath.

Facing the siege of the three Late Stage Earth Immortal experts, a hint of gravity finally flashed in Lin Wan's eyes.

Any one of these three was no weaker in strength than the previous three from the Xuan Yin Sect, and their coordination was even more tacit, and their methods were even more bizarre.

"Chaos Reincarnation Domain, open!"

Gray mist instantly spread out with Lin Wan as the center, covering a radius of fifty zhang!

Inside the Domain, Chaos Qi eroded and assimilated all energy, and the power of Reincarnation disturbed the Divine Soul and weakened attacks. The newly condensed Fire Element Law Seed vibrated slightly, adding a trace of scorching heat to the Domain, restraining the Metal element.

The red-haired brute's flaming blade glow slashed into the Domain, its speed dropping sharply. Its power was eroded by 30% by the Chaos Qi, and it was further disturbed by the power of Reincarnation, causing its trajectory to deviate, allowing Lin Wan to dodge it easily.

The sinister man's three poisonous palm prints, the moment they entered the Domain, were like ice and snow melting. The poison gas was refined by the Chaos Qi, the power of the palm prints was greatly reduced, and they were easily defeated by a few strands of Lin Wan's Chaos Immortal Energy.

As for the charming woman's lascivious music, under the interference of the power of Reincarnation, its effect was greatly reduced, having almost no impact on Lin Wan.

"What?! This Domain..." The expressions of all three changed simultaneously.

They had heard long ago that Lin Wan possessed a strange gray Domain that could weaken attacks and erode immortal essence, but only when truly facing it did they realize how troublesome it was.

Their attacks had their power greatly reduced within the Domain, while Lin Wan was like a fish in water.

"Samsara Tribulation Finger!"

Lin Wan counterattacked! His figure was like a ghost within the Domain, instantly appearing beside the red-haired brute. He flicked his finger, and the gray finger energy aimed straight for the brute's glabella!

"Get lost!" The red-haired brute roared, turning his blade to block.

However, the Samsara Tribulation Finger was too fast and contained the power of Samsara Annihilation, ignoring part of the defense. The finger energy grazed past the blade edge and struck his protective immortal light.

"Puff!" The protective immortal light shattered like paper. The red-haired brute groaned, stumbling backward. A bloodstain appeared on his glabella; although it was not deep, the contained power of Reincarnation invaded his body, causing his Qi and blood to churn and his Divine Soul to sting with pain.

"Watch out for his finger technique!" The red-haired brute screamed in horror.

"Attack together, don't give him the chance to defeat us one by one!" the sinister man shouted sharply. The three black shadows merged into one, revealing his true form. He pinched a seal with both hands and chanted a spell. A pitch-black ghost claw, exuding a cold and corrosive Aura, condensed above his head and clawed towards Lin Wan!

Where the ghost claw passed, even space seemed to be corroded, leaving faint black marks.

"Xuan Yin Ghost Claw!" This was the signature Divine Ability of the Xuan Yin Sect, extremely sinister and poisonous, specifically designed to break through protective immortal essence and erode the Physical Body and Divine Soul.

At the same time, the Hehuan Sect woman also changed her strategy. The sound waves played from her jade flute were no longer seductive melodies, but had become sharp and piercing, like countless steel needles stabbing towards Lin Wan's Sea of Consciousness! This was a sound-killing technique, specifically targeting the Divine Soul!

The red-haired brute also steadied his stance and slashed over again with his blade. The blade radiance was even more intense, carrying a determination that would not rest until death.

Facing the three's even more violent siege, Lin Wan's eyes turned completely cold. He knew he could no longer hold back; he had to finish the battle quickly, otherwise, dragging it out would be disadvantageous to him. Moreover, who knew if there were other ambushes nearby?

"Since you are seeking death, then I shall grant your wish!"

Inside Lin Wan's body, the prototypes of four types of dao rhyme vibrated simultaneously, and the tiny Dao Seed phantom in his Dantian shone brilliantly! A more vast, profound, and terrifying Aura rose from his body! The Chaos Reincarnation Domain expanded to a hundred zhang in an instant. Within the Domain, gray mist rolled, and phantoms of Chaos opening and the Universe's birth and destruction faintly flashed!

"Chaos Return to Void, all Laws are empty!"

Lin Wan let out a low shout and threw both fists out simultaneously. Two gray fist imprints, more solid and terrifying than before, were blasted out—one heading towards the Xuan Yin Ghost Claw, and one blasting towards the flaming blade radiance!

At the same time, his glabella glowed, and his Divine Sense transformed into a sword, slashing towards the invisible sound-killing technique! His Divine Sense, nurtured by Chaos Immortal Energy and having initially fused four supreme dao rhymes, was incredibly tough; how could mere sound-killing techniques injure it?

"Boom! Boom!" Two loud bangs sounded almost simultaneously. The gray fist imprints collided with the Xuan Yin Ghost Claw and the flaming blade radiance, erupting into an earth-shaking energy storm. Under the erosion of the Chaos Qi, the Xuan Yin Ghost Claw quickly dissolved and disintegrated; the flaming blade radiance was restrained by the trace of Fire Region Law power contained within the fist imprint, its power greatly reduced, and it was eventually shattered by the fist imprint!

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" The sinister man and the red-haired brute both spat blood and flew backward, their faces pale, their eyes filled with horror. The Divine Ability they had unleashed with all their might had been broken so easily by Lin Wan? Was this guy really just a Late Stage Earth Immortal?!

And the Hehuan Sect woman's sound-killing technique was also broken by Lin Wan's Divine Sense sword. She let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, and her gaze towards Lin Wan was filled with disbelief.

"Not good! This guy's strength far exceeds our expectations! Quickly send a signal to summon the others!" the sinister man shrieked, a black communication jade talisman already in his hand, about to crush it.

The red-haired brute and the Hehuan Sect woman also reacted and simultaneously took out their communication jade talismans.

"Want to call for help? Too late!"

Lin Wan's eyes were cold as frost. He took a step and his figure instantly vanished from the spot. Under the augmentation of the Chaos Reincarnation Domain, his speed reached the extreme!

"Void Shift, Samsara Absolute Kill!"

The next moment, he appeared behind the sinister man and pointed a finger towards his heart! The finger force not only contained the power of Reincarnation nirvana but was also mixed with a trace of "the end" dao rhyme, doubling its power!

"No!" The sinister man's expression changed in horror. He frantically activated his protective immortal essence and a defensive Magic Treasure. A small black shield instantly enlarged, blocking behind him.

"Hiss!" The gray finger force, like a red-hot branding iron piercing into ice and snow, easily pierced through the small black shield and struck the sinister man's heart.

The sinister man's body stiffened, the vitality in his eyes rapidly dissipating. His protective immortal essence collapsed, the defensive Magic Treasure's light dimmed, and he fell from the sky. His heart had been completely annihilated by the power of Reincarnation and the end, and his Divine Soul was extinguished.

One strike, instantly killing a Late Stage Earth Immortal expert of the Xuan Yin Sect!

"Senior Brother!" The red-haired brute and the Hehuan Sect woman's eyes were splitting with rage; they were shocked and angry, but more than that, they were terrified! Lin Wan's strength was too terrifying! A Late Stage Earth Immortal could not even withstand a single move under him!

"Run!" The two no longer had any Battle Intent; they turned and fled, flying away in two different directions while simultaneously crushing the communication jade talismans in their hands.

"Can you escape?" Lin Wan's figure moved again, like the god of death, instantly catching up to the red-haired brute, and pointed a finger towards his glabella.

"I'll fight you to the death! Heavenly Evil Body Incineration!" A trace of madness flashed in the red-haired brute's eyes. He actually burned his essence blood, his Aura surged, and he turned back to slash with his blade, carrying the determination to perish together, striking towards Lin Wan! This strike was several times more powerful than before, the blade radiance crimson as blood, as if it wanted to incinerate everything!

"Dying struggle." Lin Wan's expression remained unchanged. Facing this desperate blade strike, he did not dodge or evade. His left hand formed a sword finger and pointed out, while his right hand formed a fist and blasted out!

"Samsara Tribulation Finger!" "Chaos Return to Void Fist!"

The finger force and the fist imprint, one after another, slammed into the crimson blade radiance.

"Crack!" The crimson blade radiance shattered inch by inch like glass. The finger force continued unabated, striking the red-haired brute's glabella, while the fist imprint blasted into his chest.

"Bang!" The red-haired brute's body flew backward like a torn sack, his chest sunken, a bloody hole in his glabella, the light in his eyes rapidly dimming, his breath completely gone.

The second Late Stage Earth Immortal had fallen!

Lin Wan didn't even look back, his figure turning into a gray stream of light, chasing in the direction the Hehuan Sect woman had fled. The Hehuan Sect woman was best at seduction and escape, but at this moment, under the suppression of the Chaos Reincarnation Domain, her speed was greatly reduced.

"Young Master Lin, spare me! This concubine is willing to be a slave and a maid, serving by your side!" The Hehuan Sect woman felt the terrifying Aura rapidly approaching from behind, her face pale with fright, no longer caring about any seduction techniques, and begged for mercy in terror.

"A demoness of the Hehuan Sect, and you dare to beg for mercy?" Lin Wan's eyes were cold. For these Hehuan Sect members who took pleasure in harvesting and harming others, he had not the slightest pity. Moreover, the seduction and sound-killing techniques she had used earlier were insidious and vicious; if not for his strong Divine Soul, he would likely have already fallen for them.

"Finger of the end!"

Lin Wan pointed a finger. This time, the finger force was no longer gray, but a pure, dusky color that seemed capable of ending everything. It was fast to the extreme, instantly crossing dozens of zhang in distance, and struck the Hehuan Sect woman's heart.

The Hehuan Sect woman's body trembled, the expression of terror on her face freezing. She felt an indescribable power of nirvana and the end instantly invade her body, frantically devouring her vitality, immortal essence, Divine Soul... everything was rapidly heading towards the end and nothingness.

"No..." She only had time to let out a desperate whimper before her body, like a sand sculpture weathered for a thousand years, disintegrated inch by inch, turning into flying ash and dissipating in the air, not even her Primordial Spirit managing to escape.

The power of the end, annihilating everything!

In just over a dozen breaths of time, three Late Stage Earth Immortal experts, two dead and one "nothingness," were destroyed in body and soul!

Lin Wan stood in the air, slowly withdrawing his finger, his surrounding Aura gradually calming down. Continuously using killing moves, especially the final use of the "the end" dao rhyme, had consumed quite a bit of his energy. But his eyes were sharp and his Aura steady; he was clearly unharmed.

He waved his hand to collect the three people's Storage Rings and Magic Treasures, then glanced at the Golden Thread Wood Python next to him, which had long been scared silly and curled into a ball. The Golden Thread Wood Python felt Lin Wan's gaze and shivered, its eyes filled with fear and pleading.

"Get lost." Lin Wan spat out a word indifferently. This Golden Thread Wood Python had not been easy to Cultivate, and it hadn't actively provoked him; he was not a bloodthirsty person.

The Golden Thread Wood Python felt as if it had been granted amnesty, gave Lin Wan a grateful look (if a snake could have expressions), and then twisted its body, quickly burrowing into the depths of the dense forest and disappearing.

Lin Wan came to the Golden-Veined Wood Origin Fruit tree, picked the three gold and cyan-colored fruits, and stored them in his Storage Ring. He also checked the three people's Storage Rings, harvesting some immortal crystals, Medicinal Pills, Materials, as well as the flaming long blade, small black shield, and jade flute; they were all Low Grade Immortal Artifacts, and the quality was passable.

"Xuan Yin Sect, Tian Sha Sect, Hehuan Sect... It seems they are determined to get rid of me. The three people just now crushed their communication jade talismans; I fear more people will arrive soon." Lin Wan looked in the direction the three had fled from, his eyes narrowing slightly. It was no longer safe here.

He did not linger, his figure swaying and turning into a gray stream of light, speeding towards the depths of the Wood Region, soon disappearing into the vast sea of forest.

Not long after Lin Wan left, several powerful Auras descended from the sky, landing on this chaotic battlefield.

The leader was none other than the black-clad man who had appeared at the edge of the Fire Region earlier. His face was currently as gloomy as water as he looked at the two corpses on the ground (Xuan Yin Sect and Tian Sha Sect Disciples) and the ashes remaining where the Hehuan Sect woman had dissipated, a flash of shock and gravity in his eyes.

"Three Late Stage Earth Immortals, killed so quickly? They didn't even have time to send complete information in their transmission?" A Tian Sha Sect Disciple with a deep Aura and a hideous scar on his face said in a deep voice, his tone filled with disbelief.

"It is indeed Lin Wan's Aura. The residual energy is very strange, filled with the meaning of dead silence and the end; even the Hehuan Sect's Mei Ji's Divine Soul couldn't escape, destroyed in body and soul." Another bewitching Hehuan Sect woman crouched beside the ashes, sensing carefully, her face also very ugly. Although Mei Ji's strength was on the weaker side among them, her life-saving and escape methods were top-tier, yet she had died, and so thoroughly.

"This guy's strength far exceeds our estimate. We cannot act alone anymore; we must gather the others as soon as possible, set up an inescapable net, and must strangle him to death here!" The black-clad man, who was one of the leaders of the Xuan Yin Sect entering the Five Elements Small World, Yin Wuming, a Peak Earth Immortal Cultivator, ordered coldly, his eyes revealing murderous intent.

"Senior Brother Yin is right. The Five Elements Dao Derivation Platform is about to open; he will definitely head to the central region. We will set an ambush on the only path, and I don't believe he can fly to the sky!" The scarred-faced Tian Sha Sect Disciple, Xue Tu, licked his lips, his eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light.

"Giggle, this concubine is becoming more and more interested in this little brother. To be able to kill little sister Mei Ji, his strength and Heart-Nature are not bad. If we can capture him and offer him to the Sect Master, the Sect Master will surely be very happy." The bewitching Hehuan Sect woman, Hua Meiniang, giggled, but there was no smile in her eyes, only cold killing intent.

"Let's go! Go to the 'Thorn Forest' to meet up with the others and set up the 'Three Absolute Killing Formation.' This time, we must ensure he cannot return!" Yin Wuming waved his hand, and the group swept up the two corpses on the ground, turning into several streams of light, flying towards the depths of the Wood Region.

A more sinister killing trap was waiting for Lin Wan ahead.
