第五卷 天云十二州 第一千三百三十五章 惊变

The cultivators at the Separation and Union stage could mobilize primordial energy from heaven and earth, countering it with their own magical power.

Lin Xuan reached into his waistband and activated a treasure. The object was square-shaped, golden in color, resembling an imperial seal used by secular emperors. Clear Origin Corpse King's eyes showed surprise; he had never seen such a rare item before, which made him wary.

Lin Xuan ignored the other party’s thoughts and cast a spell. The Five Dragon Seal flashed, spinning rapidly as a cloud of five-colored mist emerged from it.

"Go!"

With a wave of his finger, the cloud-like mist entered the bone wall in front.

"What is this?"

Clear Origin Corpse King was taken aback; he saw astonishment in his eyes. However, quickly, his expression changed dramatically. The mental link between him and the bone shield was significantly weakened, though not completely severed.

What's happening?

Could it be that I underestimated my opponent? This ordinary cultivator of late-stage Core Formation could have such powerful magical treasures.

In another part of the battlefield, Su Jinchun and Liu Ying were also engaged in combat. Su Jinchun had already integrated the Divine Yin Treasure Box, a precious item from the former Netherworld Lord. Even though she couldn't fully utilize its power yet, her presence alone made Clear Origin Corpse King's abilities drop to only three-tenths of their original strength.

With no worries about being outflanked, Su Jinchun’s hands moved swiftly, releasing waves of blade energy that surged towards the enemy like a tidal wave.

If Clear Origin Corpse King could have fully utilized his magic, he might not be afraid of anything. However, in this moment, he was beaten to a pulp and felt extremely frustrated.

As an ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years, she had never encountered such bizarre situations before. With Su Jinchun already causing trouble, the addition of Liu Ying made it even more difficult. Both were formidable opponents; one was the head of the Sky and Sea Pavilion, and the other had gone through cosmetic surgery to advance her cultivation.

After their previous battle, they now had a chance to turn the tide. With so many sisters fallen, Su Jinchun and Liu Ying unleashed all their abilities, determined to finish off their enemies.

However, Clear Origin Corpse King was still holding on despite his severe injuries. As an existence at the Separation and Union stage, he was still a formidable opponent.

As time passed, the tide of battle began to turn in their favor. Once reinforcements arrived, the Sky and Sea Pavilion would be destroyed. Then, they could extract souls from these two pests.

Just as she was thinking this, a piercing scream echoed through the air. Clear Origin Corpse King turned his head, seeing his husband enveloped by a silver glow. The scream came from within.

Could it be... Clear Origin Corpse King felt panic.

However, the silver light, though powerful, continued to emit dense corpse energy. A monstrous figure with disheveled hair appeared in their vision—Clear Origin Corpse King himself.

His left arm was severed at the shoulder, and a large hole in his chest oozed foul-smelling corpse blood.

Despite such severe injuries, Clear Origin Corpse King ignored them, his eyes turning blood red.

"Good, good. I underestimated you. A late-stage cultivator with such powerful magical treasures can injure me, but your life ends here."

A metallic sound echoed as Clear Origin Corpse King roared. The primordial energy in the surrounding area became chaotic. He was determined to seek revenge after his previous mistake.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and prepared for battle. However, at that moment, an eerie sensation spread through the air, and a massive sword appeared before their eyes.

This...

Both Lin Xuan and Clear Origin Corpse King paused, looking up as they saw the giant sword several dozen miles away, radiating with divine light, reaching towards the sky.

And this was just the beginning. Nine more giant swords hung in the air around the entire island, creating an atmosphere of primordial chaos.

The Nine Palaces Musty Sword Formation was a technique passed down from the founding ancestor of the Sky and Sea Pavilion since ancient times.

Clear Origin Corpse King’s face turned grim. How could this happen? The Ten Thousand Buddha Sect and Lamenting Soul Valley had concentrated their high-ranking cultivators to launch a surprise attack, hoping to destroy the Sky and Sea Pavilion before they could activate their array formation.

Now it seemed that all their efforts were in vain.

Clear Origin Corpse King felt an ominous premonition. However, he did not lose hope; his side still held the upper hand in terms of strength. With sufficient sacrifice, victory was still within reach.

Taking a deep breath, Clear Origin Corpse King decided to deal with the immediate threat first. But then, a flash of light entered his vision—Clear Origin Corpse King paused and stopped moving, frowning as he waved towards the source of the light. The fireball flew into his palm.

This...

Clear Origin Corpse King's expression grew even more serious; only Separation and Union cultivators could use flying sword messages. Could something have happened to Huixuan? He was a mid-stage Separation and Union cultivator.

Lin Xuan hesitated but did not attack.

"What?"

Clear Origin Corpse King’s face showed both shock and anger as he realized that the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect and Lamenting Soul Valley had not rushed to the Sky and Sea Pavilion, but were instead engaged in conflict with other sects and families on the outer sea. The battle was already intense, reaching a point of no return.

How could this be?

Clear Origin Corpse King was stunned. However, he knew Huixuan well; such matters would not be taken lightly by the old monk.

Although unclear about the details, the situation clearly favored his side. After so much planning, could it all come to nothing in the end?

With a look of不甘 (reluctance) on his face, Clear Origin Corpse King thought that as long as he killed these two and extracted Su Ruyan's soul, they could still turn things around.

Roar!

Clear Origin Corpse King let out a roar. His body was enveloped by corpse energy, followed by the sound of bones breaking. He began to transform again.

On the other side, Huixuan was in much worse shape. As an intermediate-stage Core Formation cultivator, Dream Ruyan could not defeat him; even with the added effects of Drifting Cloud Snowflake Technique in the deep sea, her power was limited.

After a long hour of combat, Dream Ruyan's magical energy was almost depleted. Huixuan struck at her head.

The timing was perfect, but Su Ruyan could not dodge. Just then, a man wearing scholar robes appeared.

This middle-aged scholar looked about forty years old, with three long strands of hair and an extremely refined appearance, exuding a sense of elegance and erudition.

Huixuan’s face paled.

This was the first expert in the Twelve Provinces of Tianyun.
