第一千六百六十九章 神秘的五龙玺

Lin Xuan's face was filled with shock. Since he had embarked on the path of cultivation, he had experienced countless trials and tribulations. However, such a perilous situation before his eyes did not happen often.

The defense provided by the Black Gold Dragon Scale Shield seemed to be nothing against this sword light; it was as if the shield were made of tofu. Did he misjudge the situation? A Core Formation cultivator had become so formidable that Lin Xuan couldn't help but wonder if his initial assessment had been too lenient.

Lin Xuan was genuinely stunned by the result, a consequence he hadn't anticipated.

At this moment, even instantaneous teleportation wouldn’t save him. Given the sharpness of the sword, the Green Flame Qilin Armor would be useless; it could barely provide any protection at all.

Thoughts raced through his mind, but reality left no room for hesitation or contemplation. At this point, he had to try anything, even if it meant grasping at straws.

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve and casually threw out a treasure item, not seeking to block the sword light, just hoping to slightly impede its path.

In a battle between experts, every millimeter counted; perhaps that brief delay could bring him a glimmer of hope.

Lin Xuan needed some time to activate the Substitute Suffering Talisman. That treasure would be enough to shield him from one fatal blow.

What was this treasure he had casually thrown out? Lin Xuan saw no change in his opponent's expression, but he knew that the Substitute Suffering Talisman’s blue and green flames had vanished, leaving only a grayish, lifeless flame. Sweat beads formed on his forehead; this unremarkable, lifeless gray was the ultimate destructive force of the three attributes.

It contained the extreme coldness and corrosiveness that could devour life.

No… not just life but all matter.

Lin Xuan’s hand trembled as he threw it forward.

A flash of gray light shot out from the talisman, striking the protective barrier like ice thrown into a furnace. The shield vanished instantly.

"Wha—"

The old monster was shocked, but Lin Xuan seemed to have anticipated this outcome. He clutched his hands together, and golden light erupted behind him as the Lesser Heavenly Realm Dharmic Form appeared, with nine heads and eighteen arms, terrifying in appearance.

However, Lin Xuan wasn’t using it to intimidate; he wanted to strike first.

Eighteen fists rained down like a storm, while the other nine heads shot out beams of light, each carrying electric arcs. The attack was overwhelming, far more powerful than the previous sword strikes.

Pang! Pang! Pang!

Without the shield’s protection, all attacks hit Qing Ying.

The little face of the Core Formation cultivator showed signs of fear for the first time as the attacks continued to fade his form.

He wanted to counterattack but the strength of those fists was overwhelming; any attempt to gather power was immediately shattered.

The situation was not in his favor. If he persisted, he would likely die. This was unacceptable.

With a look of hatred in his eyes, the Core Formation cultivator seemed to mutter something before vanishing from the illusory form with an instantaneous teleportation, appearing several dozen feet away.

The jade rod shrank and he held it close.

Just as he stopped teleporting, a majestic sword aura approached him.

While the Lesser Heavenly Realm Dharmic Form attacked, Lin Xuan wasn’t idle. He had already taken this opportunity to retrieve his Magic Fate Sword. For such an old monster, ordinary attacks were useless; only a Primordial Treasure could possibly defeat it.

But he hadn’t expected the opponent to be so bold and ruthless. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he abandoned the illusory body without hesitation.

Although Lin Xuan had never learned this secret technique, even a fool would know that using it came with a price; continuous use was out of the question!

The opponent’s escape didn’t deter him. He slashed down fiercely, and although the sword aura was slightly weaker than the Qilin Illusion, its speed was twice as fast, consuming less magical energy.

Though relatively weak, this was still a Primordial Treasure. The sword aura stretched over ten feet long, majestic in appearance, with countless runes pulsing on its surface. The magical power made even the Core Formation cultivator’s face tense.

He raised his jade rod high and clenched his fist, hammering it into his chest. A stream of essence energy shot out from his mouth and entered the jade rod.

After expelling this essence energy, his little face turned ashen white, while a clear sound echoed in his ears as he swung the jade rod downward, similar to using a sword.

A greenish sword aura over ten feet long appeared before him, slicing forward with a clear sound…

Soon, the two sword auras collided. Green and silver intertwined but had not yet determined a winner when an overwhelming magical pressure seemed to suck all the air out of the area. The space around them twisted and turned as if it were collapsing.

A crackle of breaking air sounded in his ears, and at the intersection of the two sword auras, a spatial rift appeared.

Only half a foot long, it wasn’t particularly noticeable, but as a cultivator, Lin Xuan could sense even the slightest changes. He turned to look through the gap and saw blue water outside; yes, it was seawater.

Lin Xuan’s expression turned ecstatic.

After so much searching, he finally found an opportunity that required no effort at all.

This space was merely momentary, created by a senior cultivator using great divine power, inherently unstable. The intense collision had caused a spatial rift, something unimaginable elsewhere.

Unfortunately, it was too small to escape unless he abandoned his body and used the Core Formation teleportation. This was nothing but a dream.

Lin Xuan’s thoughts raced, but his face showed no signs of disappointment. He wasn’t following common sense; he was different.

He flipped his hand, and the spear taken from Snow Fox King reappeared. Lin Xuan took a deep breath, pouring all his magical energy into it. Lightning crackled at the spear tip.

Then, with his right hand raised high, he fiercely swung the spear toward the spatial rift.

A crescent-shaped light blade appeared in his vision, filled with colorful glass and electric sparks. A flash of sound confirmed that it had hit the spatial rift as expected!
