Chapter 717 – Escaping alive (1)
All of Greed’s hair stood up. He didn’t feel this close to death even when he was caught by the celestial couple Wang Wei and Hu Juan.
That illusion finger seemed to be formed from the heavenly dao. It felt like it was one with the heavens.
This wasn’t a simply dao a cultivator could comprehends. In fact, it was countless times stronger than a dao an individual could comprehend!
Although the peak of Greed’s cultivation was only Illusory Yin, his connections were extraordinary. He had a lot of acquaintances in the second step, so he knew a lot of secrets about the second step.
He was able to tell at a glance the terrifying dao contained within this finger.
One finger pointed forth. It seemed like a gentle breeze without any fluctuations at all. It was just as if a mortal was gently pointing with their finger.
However, this point caused Wang Lin’s pupils to shrink. He felt like his origin soul was about to rush out of his body to meet that finger.
Greed was the closest to it, so this feeling was over a hundred times stronger for him. He backed up into the Mountain and River screen without any hesitation.
At this moment, the Mountain and River took over the area as if space was gone. However, even so, the finger still penetrated through the Mountain and River as it pressed down.
Sounds of cracking came from the screen and then countless cracks appeared on it. Greed coughed out a large mouthful of blood as he quickly retreated, he continued to cough out blood. His injuries were too great.
The finger from the ancient god didn’t stop and pressed down on Greed.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he stared at the Mountain and River screen that had cracked but still contained its power. His eyes revealed a strange light. When he saw the finger going toward Greed, Wang Lin clenched his teeth. He left the bone with the celestial guard and charged out as if he was teleporting.
His speed was extremely fast, so he arrived next to the screen in the blink of an eye.
Right now Greed couldn’t bother with Wang Lin stealing his treasure. He moved at full speed to escape.
The ancient god finger suddenly stopped and slowly turned as if it was locking on to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin’s scalp tingled. Without any hesitation, he gathered all of his celestial spiritual energy in his right finger and shouted, “Stop!”
His target wasn’t the ancient god finger but Greed!
Greed’s eyes were bloodshot and his body suddenly stopped for a moment. He cursed loudly in his heart. Although he had only stopped for a moment, it attracted the attention of the ancient god finger.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Lin grabbed the screen and put it into his bag of holding. Then he retreated without any hesitation.
His heart was pounding hard. The danger before him hadn’t passed. He moved extremely fast toward the celestial guard.
The celestial guard had never stopped escaping. However, in the face of the giant Moongazer Serpent and ancient god finger, its speed was obviously not enough.
Greed’s face was extremely pale. As the ancient god finger closed in, Greed immediately slapped his bag of holding and a shining crown appeared. It was like the crown of a mortal emperor with five jewels socketed in it. The powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth suddenly flowed from the crown.
He put the crown on his head without any hesitation. The golden light from the crown was blinding, but it wrapped around Greed like water. Then a huge shadow suddenly appeared over his body. This shadow didn’t have a clear appearance but wore a dragon robe. A sense of majesty suddenly surrounded the area.
Greed shouted, “In order to activate the celestial emperor crown, this old man killed 9,999 mortal emperors and fused their souls inside the crown to meet the requirements to activate it. I want to see if it can resist the finger from you, vile beast!” The illusion of the ancient god finger landed on Greed.
A bang that shocked the heavens echoed the area.
The ancient god finger didn’t change. After it pressed down on Greed, it immediately withdrew.
As for Greed, his face was even more pale, and the golden light surrounding him collapsed. The souls of 9,999 emperors suddenly vanished and the crown fell from his head. The strange thing was that the crown was perfectly fine after taking a blow from the ancient god finger.
A powerful force entered Greed’s body like crazy. His body trembled, then it gave off a rainbow-colored light before flying away like a meteor. Whether he was dead or alive was unknown as he disappeared among the stars.
Wang Lin’s eyes were filled with terror. When the ancient god finger pressed down on Greed, he didn’t stop running at all and continued to escaped. However, at this moment, the illusionary ancient god finger suddenly appeared behind Wang Lin.
The familiar aura of an ancient god suddenly surrounded the area.
One finger pressed down!
The target of this finger wasn’t the celestial guard but Wang Lin!
Wang Lin almost lost his wits. This finger was too fast, and it was quickly closing in. In the midst of this crisis, Wang Lin’s eyes became cold and he placed his hand on the celestial guard. He extracted the slaughter energy from the celestial guard.
In an instant, almost one million strands of slaughter energy appeared. They transformed into life seals to block the ancient god finger!
The life seals all collapsed as if they were fragile pieces of paper. It didn’t matter how much slaughter energy was used, all of it was powerless before the ancient god finger.
Wang Lin’s expression was pale, but there was no panic in his eyes. He slapped his bag of holding as he retreated with the celestial guard and the second celestial guard appeared before him as a shield.
The ancient god finger pressed down on the second celestial guard. The second celestial guard trembled and began to rapidly breakdown.
After the second celestial guard shattered, the ancient god finger stopped seven inches away from Wang Lin’s body. A feeling of his body shattering surged through Wang Lin like crazy. The feeling of going through a life and death crisis made it hard for him to breath.
Wang Lin let out an angry roar and raised his head. One ray of Ling Tianhou’s sword energy suddenly charged out and collided with the finger.
Ling Tianhou’s sword energy contained a certain amount of power, so it slowed the finger by a bit. However, the finger pressed down once more without hesitation, and this time it landed on Wang Lin’s chest.
An intense pain came from Wang Lin’s chest and instantly spread across his body. At this moment, Wang Lin’s body collapsed!
First it was his flesh, then his bones all turned to dust and vanished without a trace. The ancient god finger destroyed Wang Lin’s body, but it didn’t stop there. It pressed down on Wang Lin’s origin soul next. This Moongazer Serpent was set on wiping him out.
Just at this instant, Wang Lin suddenly felt that feeling that made his origin soul unable to leave his body after he devoured that ancient thunder dragon. It was as if there was a thin barrier blocking him.
No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t break through the barrier. It was as if his origin soul had lost the ability to. His origin soul was confined in his body, which made it impossible for him to use certain spells.
However, at this moment, when the ancient god finger closed in and destroyed his body, it also destroyed that barrier!
Wang Lin’s origin soul gave off intense lighting and turned into an ancient thunder dragon that roared at the ancient god finger.
As it roared, countless balls of thunder appeared and attacked the ancient god finger.
Borrowing the moment the ancient god finger slowed down, Wang Lin grabbed the bag of holding that fell after his body collapsed. When his origin soul turned into a thunder dragon, he became several times faster than his body. He took the celestial guard and half the bone before quickly escaping.
While he was escaping, he felt a sense of bitterness. However, just at this moment, he saw the crown left behind by Greed just floating there.
His heart skipped a beat as he put the crown into his bag and left without even looking back.
The ancient god finger slowly dissipated. The giant Moongazer Serpent looked at the distant Wang Lin and pondered. It then looked at the furnace its tentacles were holding. After hesitating a bit, it chased after Wang Lin.
Wang Lin couldn’t help but curse when he noticed the Moongazer Serpent chasing after him.
Wang Lin had to admit he was reckless this time. He didn’t expect Greed to appear here and excite it to the point of awakening.
Otherwise, according to Wang Lin’s original calculations, he wouldn’t have been in such a sorry state.
He had lost too much on this trip. The seven star sword formation was destroyed, the restriction flag collapsed, one of Ling Tianhou’s sword energy rays was used, and even his body was destroyed, leaving only his origin soul.
However, his harvest was also great. His origin soul was finally free, half of the Moongazer Serpent’s bone, the celestial mountain, Mountain and River screen, and finally that crown!
He couldn’t tell if he ended up gaining or losing, he could only let out a sigh before moving even faster. The Moongazer Serpent slowly approached. Every time it moved, it would cross an extremely large distance.
If Wang Lin was still in his body, he would have already been caught. However, he no longer had his body, and flying with only his origin was several times faster than with his body.
As he rushed away, Wang Lin’s origin soul entered the star compass and escaped like crazy with half of the Moongazer Serpent’s bone.
Wang Lin had no confidence he could escape the ancient god finger through luck once more. If the Moongazer Serpent caught up, he would die for sure!
After his origin soul entered the star compass, his speed reached an unimaginable degree and reached an equilibrium with the Moongazer Serpent. Although he didn’t escape, he managed to keep a certain distant from the Moongazer Serpent.
However, this kind of flying was intensive on Wang Lin’s origin soul. His origin soul was already seriously injured, and now his injuries were becoming worse and his origin soul was dimming.
Wang Lin rushed across the northern domain and arrived in the southern domain of the Allheaven Star System!
Moving at full speed for an extended period of time gradually made Wang Lin’s origin soul weaker, and he couldn’t hold on much longer. However, the Moongazer Serpent also slowed down before completely stopping at the border to the southern domain. It let out a few low muffles but didn’t dare to cross over.
Chapter 717 (2) – Thunder Prison
Wang Lin was startled but then was immediately ecstatic. He sped up, and after a long time, he noticed that the Moongazer Serpent was no longer chasing after him. The distance between them was getting larger and larger.
Wang Lin let out a big sigh of relief and his eyes revealed trace of lingering fear.
“This Moongazer Serpent is simply too powerful. If not for the fact it’s slow, I would have already died! Compared to the one in Tu Si’s memories, aside from their appearance, there was nothing similar between the two. How could that Moongazer Serpent be so powerful!?”
Wang Lin turned around at the northern domain and began to ponder.
“With how strong the Moongazer Serpent is, why was it afraid of coming here… Could there be something here that it is terrified of…”
He couldn’t understand and let out a sigh. After checking the state of his origin soul, he let out a bitter smile.
“Although the origin soul breaking through that barrier is a good thing, I lost my body, and I don’t know how long it will take for me to form a new one. If I were to possess a body, there would be too many limitations, and if there are no good bodies, that won’t be good either.”
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin stopped hesitating and flew forward.
“First, I have to find a place to go into close door cultivation to refine this bone and see if it can complete the heaven defying bead. Then I’ll have to work on forming a new body.”
Wang Lin’s eyes shined as he charged toward the endless space before him.
The Moongazer Serpent looked into the distance, and its huge eyes revealed signs of hesitation. After a long time, its large body began to retreat. It seemed to remember that someone had warned it not to go there.
However, this memory was from too long ago and was a complete blur. However, that sense was crisis was so powerful that it affected its thought process even more.
It gradually backed away and its tentacles swayed back and forth as it gave off a terrifying pressure. Along the way, many cultivators noticed the Moongazer Serpent. However, they only took one look before all their hair on their bodies stood up and they fell into complete shock. They turned and ran, hating that they couldn’t escape faster.
The Moongazer Serpent stopped somewhere between the five main planets of the northern domain and its body began to slowly curl up into a sphere. The countless tentacles slowly withdrew until they all returned to its body.
Bursts of fog came out from the Moongazer Serpent’s body and surrounded the area.
The Moongazer Serpent returned back to its second form and began its deep sleep…
However, the position it chose this time made the hearts of all the cultivators in the northern domain tremble. This was too close to the five main planets.
In the northern domain, there was a relatively primitive planet. The spiritual energy on this planet wasn’t strong, but there were still mortals living on it. On this day, something fell from the sky. This thing was covered in a rainbow-colored light, and it landed in a plain on the northern part of the planet with a loud bang.
All of the bones in Greed’s body were broken, and the insides of his body had collapsed. His origin soul was heavily damaged, but he was not dead!
Not only did he not die, but his eyes were filled with ecstasy.
When he came to the Allheaven Star System, his body was filled with brandings. Each of these brandings contained unimaginable power and could easily kill him. However, when the ancient god finger closed in, something mysterious happened and caused all the brandings to simultaneously collapse!
Only the All-Seer’s branding still remained.
“As long as I have enough time, I’m confident I can recover someday!” Greed took a deep breath, slowly sank into the ground, and disappeared from the plain.
From this day forth on this ordinary planet, all of the inhabitants would smell a faint stench, but no matter how much they searched, they couldn’t find the source.
It seemed this stench was coming from the earth.
Wang Lin was currently flying through the southern domain. He didn’t go for the planets with cultivators, he set his eyes on the abandoned planets.
His origin soul had a vague feeling that there was a place in the southern domain that made him feel extremely comfortable. He subconsciously flew toward that direction, and as he got closer and closer, it seemed like even his origin soul’s injuries were improving.
He slowly got closer. When Wang Lin saw the place that made him feel comfortable, his eyes revealed a mysterious light.
Before him was an asteroid field. Countless asteroids of all sizes seemed to be held together by a mysterious force. They orbited an area and seemed to form a natural barrier.
Wang Lin could feel that the location that made him feel very comfortable was within the depths of this asteroid field. He pondered for a bit and decided not to go himself. He came out from the star compass and held onto the Moongazer Serpent’s bone as he controlled the celestial guard to slowly enter the interior of the asteroid field.
This asteroid field was extremely large. The celestial guard had flown for a long time, but it still hadn’t entered the interior. However, it saw a mysterious scene.
There was an abandoned planet. This planet was not very big; it was only half the size of planet Ran Yun.
However, there were bursts of thunder coming from the planet. It was as if the planet was covered by a net of heavenly thunder. This thunder was endless and continued to descend on the planet.
This planet was nameless and was in an extremely remote location of the southern domain. It was also blocked by dense layer of asteroids, so it was hard to discover from the outside.
Wang Lin had left a sliver of divine sense on the celestial guard, so he naturally saw this planet. The comfortable feeling was getting closer and closer. However, he knew that the source of this comfortable feeling wasn’t this small planet but in the depths of this planet. But there was a mysterious force blocking his divine sense and preventing him from examining the planet.
Although this was the case, this small planet still gave Wang Lin a comfortable feeling.
“This place is an excellent place to make a cave!” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he took the Moongazer Serpent’s bone and headed toward the celestial guard. Soon, the small planet appeared before him.
“I found this place due to the feeling of my origin soul. When I’m here, the injuries to my origin soul heal extremely fast!” Wang Lin pondered as the celestial guard cleared the way toward the small planet.
“Let’s stay here for now. After I recover and reform my body, I’ll go check out the depths of this place.”
Wang Lin understood that after devouring the ancient thunder dragon, his origin soul had mutated and all thunder spells had no effect on him. As long as the thunder was not of a higher grade than the ancient thunder dragon’s, it couldn’t harm him.
Earlier, when his body was destroyed by the ancient god finger, it broke the barrier that was trapping his origin soul inside his body. However, his origin soul was injured, and after that, he was too busy escaping, causing the injuries to become worse.
Under these circumstances, not even Wang Lin knew why his origin soul seeked this place out.
However, at this moment, he understood. If an ancient thunder dragon was injured, it would find an environment like this where it could recover fast. It would feel extremely comfortable here and even feel a sense of security.
After his body collapsed, his origin soul was free. Right now his origin soul was like an ancient thunder dragon, which was why he was attracted to this place.
After understanding karma, Wang Lin’s heart was calm. When looking at the small planet filled with thunder, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity, as if this was his hometown.
As he continued to move forward, the sound of thunder rumbled in his hearts. The dense thunder would sometimes strike Wang Lin, and this made him feel very comfortable.
This feeling came from his origin soul, as if there was a hand gently massaging his soul.
At this moment, Wang Lin’s origin soul emitted a blue light and bursts of thunder entered his body. As he moved, a portion of his origin soul extended to the Moongazer Serpent’s bone and made it release a series of crackling sounds.
However, the celestial guard immediately stopped. Its eyes revealed a rare sign of hesitation as if it held extreme fear toward thunder.
Wang Lin turned around and began to ponder.
The celestial guard shouldn’t be afraid of thunder. After all, he had used his origin energy to refine the celestial guard, so the guard contained the power of thunder. It had also fought many enemies that used thunder but never showed the hesitation it did now.
“Could the thunder here be different?” Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed as he carefully looked at the thunder around him. After a long time, his eyes revealed enlightenment.
The thunder here was formed by the heavens and not by some spell. Its characteristics were extremely similar to Wang Lin’s origin soul.
“No wonder the celestial guard is afraid.” Thunder falls into two categories: acquired and innate. Acquired is all thunder formed by spells. Innate is not formed by spells but naturally formed by the heavens.
With a command, the celestial guard backed away and started cultivating on a large asteroid not far away.
Wang Lin turned around as he put away the star compass and carried the Moongazer bone deep into the planet.
The closer he got, the more dense the thunder became, until it reached a terrifying degree. If it was anyone else, they would fear this place just like the celestial puppet. After all, the thunder here had reached a level that surpassed what one’s body and origin soul could resist.
However, for Wang Lin, especially for his origin soul without a body, this thunder had no effect on him. The closer he got, the more comfortable he felt.
If Wang Lin still had his body, he would be limited by it. His body wouldn’t have been able to reach this point, but due to current circumstances, he was able to move even faster and gradually entered this thunder planet.
The planet’s surface was also covered in thunder. The entire planet inside and out was filled with this dense thunder as if it was a thunder prison!
Chapter 717 – Escaping alive (1)
All of Greed’s hair stood up. He didn’t feel this close to death even when he was caught by the celestial couple Wang Wei and Hu Juan.
That illusion finger seemed to be formed from the heavenly dao. It felt like it was one with the heavens.
This wasn’t a simply dao a cultivator could comprehends. In fact, it was countless times stronger than a dao an individual could comprehend!

However, this point caused Wang Lin’s pupils to shrink. He felt like his origin soul was about to rush out of his body to meet that finger.
Greed was the closest to it, so this feeling was over a hundred times stronger for him. He backed up into the Mountain and River screen without any hesitation.
At this moment, the Mountain and River took over the area as if space was gone. However, even so, the finger still penetrated through the Mountain and River as it pressed down.
Sounds of cracking came from the screen and then countless cracks appeared on it. Greed coughed out a large mouthful of blood as he quickly retreated, he continued to cough out blood. His injuries were too great.
The finger from the ancient god didn’t stop and pressed down on Greed.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he stared at the Mountain and River screen that had cracked but still contained its power. His eyes revealed a strange light. When he saw the finger going toward Greed, Wang Lin clenched his teeth. He left the bone with the celestial guard and charged out as if he was teleporting.
His speed was extremely fast, so he arrived next to the screen in the blink of an eye.

The ancient god finger suddenly stopped and slowly turned as if it was locking on to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin’s scalp tingled. Without any hesitation, he gathered all of his celestial spiritual energy in his right finger and shouted, “Stop!”
His target wasn’t the ancient god finger but Greed!
Greed’s eyes were bloodshot and his body suddenly stopped for a moment. He cursed loudly in his heart. Although he had only stopped for a moment, it attracted the attention of the ancient god finger.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Lin grabbed the screen and put it into his bag of holding. Then he retreated without any hesitation.
His heart was pounding hard. The danger before him hadn’t passed. He moved extremely fast toward the celestial guard.
The celestial guard had never stopped escaping. However, in the face of the giant Moongazer Serpent and ancient god finger, its speed was obviously not enough.
Greed’s face was extremely pale. As the ancient god finger closed in, Greed immediately slapped his bag of holding and a shining crown appeared. It was like the crown of a mortal emperor with five jewels socketed in it. The powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth suddenly flowed from the crown.
He put the crown on his head without any hesitation. The golden light from the crown was blinding, but it wrapped around Greed like water. Then a huge shadow suddenly appeared over his body. This shadow didn’t have a clear appearance but wore a dragon robe. A sense of majesty suddenly surrounded the area.
Greed shouted, “In order to activate the celestial emperor crown, this old man killed 9,999 mortal emperors and fused their souls inside the crown to meet the requirements to activate it.

A bang that shocked the heavens echoed the area.
The ancient god finger didn’t change. After it pressed down on Greed, it immediately withdrew.
As for Greed, his face was even more pale, and the golden light surrounding him collapsed. The souls of 9,999 emperors suddenly vanished and the crown fell from his head. The strange thing was that the crown was perfectly fine after taking a blow from the ancient god finger.
A powerful force entered Greed’s body like crazy. His body trembled, then it gave off a rainbow-colored light before flying away like a meteor. Whether he was dead or alive was unknown as he disappeared among the stars.
Wang Lin’s eyes were filled with terror. When the ancient god finger pressed down on Greed, he didn’t stop running at all and continued to escaped. However, at this moment, the illusionary ancient god finger suddenly appeared behind Wang Lin.
The familiar aura of an ancient god suddenly surrounded the area.
One finger pressed down!
The target of this finger wasn’t the celestial guard but Wang Lin!
Wang Lin almost lost his wits. This finger was too fast, and it was quickly closing in. In the midst of this crisis, Wang Lin’s eyes became cold and he placed his hand on the celestial guard. He extracted the slaughter energy from the celestial guard.
In an instant, almost one million strands of slaughter energy appeared. They transformed into life seals to block the ancient god finger!
The life seals all collapsed as if they were fragile pieces of paper. It didn’t matter how much slaughter energy was used, all of it was powerless before the ancient god finger.
Wang Lin’s expression was pale, but there was no panic in his eyes. He slapped his bag of holding as he retreated with the celestial guard and the second celestial guard appeared before him as a shield.
The ancient god finger pressed down on the second celestial guard. The second celestial guard trembled and began to rapidly breakdown.
After the second celestial guard shattered, the ancient god finger stopped seven inches away from Wang Lin’s body. A feeling of his body shattering surged through Wang Lin like crazy. The feeling of going through a life and death crisis made it hard for him to breath.
Wang Lin let out an angry roar and raised his head. One ray of Ling Tianhou’s sword energy suddenly charged out and collided with the finger.
Ling Tianhou’s sword energy contained a certain amount of power, so it slowed the finger by a bit. However, the finger pressed down once more without hesitation, and this time it landed on Wang Lin’s chest.
An intense pain came from Wang Lin’s chest and instantly spread across his body. At this moment, Wang Lin’s body collapsed!
First it was his flesh, then his bones all turned to dust and vanished without a trace. The ancient god finger destroyed Wang Lin’s body, but it didn’t stop there. It pressed down on Wang Lin’s origin soul next. This Moongazer Serpent was set on wiping him out.

He couldn’t tell if he ended up gaining or losing, he could only let out a sigh before moving even faster. The Moongazer Serpent slowly approached. Every time it moved, it would cross an extremely large distance.
If Wang Lin was still in his body, he would have already been caught. However, he no longer had his body, and flying with only his origin was several times faster than with his body.

After his origin soul entered the star compass, his speed reached an unimaginable degree and reached an equilibrium with the Moongazer Serpent. Although he didn’t escape, he managed to keep a certain distant from the Moongazer Serpent.
However, this kind of flying was intensive on Wang Lin’s origin soul. His origin soul was already seriously injured, and now his injuries were becoming worse and his origin soul was dimming.
Wang Lin rushed across the northern domain and arrived in the southern domain of the Allheaven Star System!
Moving at full speed for an extended period of time gradually made Wang Lin’s origin soul weaker, and he couldn’t hold on much longer. However, the Moongazer Serpent also slowed down before completely stopping at the border to the southern domain. It let out a few low muffles but didn’t dare to cross over.
Chapter 717 (2) – Thunder Prison
Wang Lin was startled but then was immediately ecstatic. He sped up, and after a long time, he noticed that the Moongazer Serpent was no longer chasing after him. The distance between them was getting larger and larger.
Wang Lin let out a big sigh of relief and his eyes revealed trace of lingering fear.
“This Moongazer Serpent is simply too powerful. If not for the fact it’s slow, I would have already died! Compared to the one in Tu Si’s memories, aside from their appearance, there was nothing similar between the two. How could that Moongazer Serpent be so powerful!?”
Wang Lin turned around at the northern domain and began to ponder.
“With how strong the Moongazer Serpent is, why was it afraid of coming here… Could there be something here that it is terrified of…”
He couldn’t understand and let out a sigh. After checking the state of his origin soul, he let out a bitter smile.
“Although the origin soul breaking through that barrier is a good thing, I lost my body, and I don’t know how long it will take for me to form a new one. If I were to possess a body, there would be too many limitations, and if there are no good bodies, that won’t be good either.”
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin stopped hesitating and flew forward.
“First, I have to find a place to go into close door cultivation to refine this bone and see if it can complete the heaven defying bead. Then I’ll have to work on forming a new body.”
Wang Lin’s eyes shined as he charged toward the endless space before him.
The Moongazer Serpent looked into the distance, and its huge eyes revealed signs of hesitation. After a long time, its large body began to retreat. It seemed to remember that someone had warned it not to go there.
However, this memory was from too long ago and was a complete blur. However, that sense was crisis was so powerful that it affected its thought process even more.
It gradually backed away and its tentacles swayed back and forth as it gave off a terrifying pressure. Along the way, many cultivators noticed the Moongazer Serpent. However, they only took one look before all their hair on their bodies stood up and they fell into complete shock. They turned and ran, hating that they couldn’t escape faster.
The Moongazer Serpent stopped somewhere between the five main planets of the northern domain and its body began to slowly curl up into a sphere. The countless tentacles slowly withdrew until they all returned to its body.
Bursts of fog came out from the Moongazer Serpent’s body and surrounded the area.

All of the bones in Greed’s body were broken, and the insides of his body had collapsed. His origin soul was heavily damaged, but he was not dead!
Not only did he not die, but his eyes were filled with ecstasy.
When he came to the Allheaven Star System, his body was filled with brandings. Each of these brandings contained unimaginable power and could easily kill him. However, when the ancient god finger closed in, something mysterious happened and caused all the brandings to simultaneously collapse!
Only the All-Seer’s branding still remained.
“As long as I have enough time, I’m confident I can recover someday!” Greed took a deep breath, slowly sank into the ground, and disappeared from the plain.
From this day forth on this ordinary planet, all of the inhabitants would smell a faint stench, but no matter how much they searched, they couldn’t find the source.
It seemed this stench was coming from the earth.
Wang Lin was currently flying through the southern domain. He didn’t go for the planets with cultivators, he set his eyes on the abandoned planets.
His origin soul had a vague feeling that there was a place in the southern domain that made him feel extremely comfortable. He subconsciously flew toward that direction, and as he got closer and closer, it seemed like even his origin soul’s injuries were improving.
He slowly got closer. When Wang Lin saw the place that made him feel comfortable, his eyes revealed a mysterious light.
Before him was an asteroid field. Countless asteroids of all sizes seemed to be held together by a mysterious force. They orbited an area and seemed to form a natural barrier.
Wang Lin could feel that the location that made him feel very comfortable was within the depths of this asteroid field. He pondered for a bit and decided not to go himself. He came out from the star compass and held onto the Moongazer Serpent’s bone as he controlled the celestial guard to slowly enter the interior of the asteroid field.
This asteroid field was extremely large. The celestial guard had flown for a long time, but it still hadn’t entered the interior. However, it saw a mysterious scene.
There was an abandoned planet. This planet was not very big; it was only half the size of planet Ran Yun.
However, there were bursts of thunder coming from the planet. It was as if the planet was covered by a net of heavenly thunder. This thunder was endless and continued to descend on the planet.
This planet was nameless and was in an extremely remote location of the southern domain. It was also blocked by dense layer of asteroids, so it was hard to discover from the outside.
Wang Lin had left a sliver of divine sense on the celestial guard, so he naturally saw this planet. The comfortable feeling was getting closer and closer. However, he knew that the source of this comfortable feeling wasn’t this small planet but in the depths of this planet. But there was a mysterious force blocking his divine sense and preventing him from examining the planet.
Although this was the case, this small planet still gave Wang Lin a comfortable feeling.
“This place is an excellent place to make a cave!” Wang Lin’s eyes lit up as he took the Moongazer Serpent’s bone and headed toward the celestial guard. Soon, the small planet appeared before him.
“I found this place due to the feeling of my origin soul. When I’m here, the injuries to my origin soul heal extremely fast!” Wang Lin pondered as the celestial guard cleared the way toward the small planet.
“Let’s stay here for now. After I recover and reform my body, I’ll go check out the depths of this place.”
Wang Lin understood that after devouring the ancient thunder dragon, his origin soul had mutated and all thunder spells had no effect on him. As long as the thunder was not of a higher grade than the ancient thunder dragon’s, it couldn’t harm him.
Earlier, when his body was destroyed by the ancient god finger, it broke the barrier that was trapping his origin soul inside his body. However, his origin soul was injured, and after that, he was too busy escaping, causing the injuries to become worse.
Under these circumstances, not even Wang Lin knew why his origin soul seeked this place out.
However, at this moment, he understood. If an ancient thunder dragon was injured, it would find an environment like this where it could recover fast. It would feel extremely comfortable here and even feel a sense of security.
After his body collapsed, his origin soul was free. Right now his origin soul was like an ancient thunder dragon, which was why he was attracted to this place.
After understanding karma, Wang Lin’s heart was calm. When looking at the small planet filled with thunder, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity, as if this was his hometown.
As he continued to move forward, the sound of thunder rumbled in his hearts. The dense thunder would sometimes strike Wang Lin, and this made him feel very comfortable.
This feeling came from his origin soul, as if there was a hand gently massaging his soul.
At this moment, Wang Lin’s origin soul emitted a blue light and bursts of thunder entered his body. As he moved, a portion of his origin soul extended to the Moongazer Serpent’s bone and made it release a series of crackling sounds.
However, the celestial guard immediately stopped. Its eyes revealed a rare sign of hesitation as if it held extreme fear toward thunder.
Wang Lin turned around and began to ponder.
The celestial guard shouldn’t be afraid of thunder. After all, he had used his origin energy to refine the celestial guard, so the guard contained the power of thunder. It had also fought many enemies that used thunder but never showed the hesitation it did now.
“Could the thunder here be different?” Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed as he carefully looked at the thunder around him. After a long time, his eyes revealed enlightenment.
The thunder here was formed by the heavens and not by some spell. Its characteristics were extremely similar to Wang Lin’s origin soul.
“No wonder the celestial guard is afraid.” Thunder falls into two categories: acquired and innate. Acquired is all thunder formed by spells. Innate is not formed by spells but naturally formed by the heavens.
With a command, the celestial guard backed away and started cultivating on a large asteroid not far away.
Wang Lin turned around as he put away the star compass and carried the Moongazer bone deep into the planet.
The closer he got, the more dense the thunder became, until it reached a terrifying degree. If it was anyone else, they would fear this place just like the celestial puppet. After all, the thunder here had reached a level that surpassed what one’s body and origin soul could resist.
However, for Wang Lin, especially for his origin soul without a body, this thunder had no effect on him. The closer he got, the more comfortable he felt.
If Wang Lin still had his body, he would be limited by it. His body wouldn’t have been able to reach this point, but due to current circumstances, he was able to move even faster and gradually entered this thunder planet.
The planet’s surface was also covered in thunder. The entire planet inside and out was filled with this dense thunder as if it was a thunder prison!
