第一千六百九十四章 移山倒海(第一更)

However, this was far from over. Having gained the upper hand with some difficulty, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't stop. He raised his right hand and a flash of spiritual light appeared in his palm, followed by the sound of Buddhist chants entering his ears. A fiery red staff materialized in his palm.

Spiritual Communication Artifact!

Having refined and integrated the Golden Core Treasure, Lin Xuan could now use this secret technique from the Buddhist sect. The power of this Spiritual Communication Artifact had increased significantly compared to before.

"Quickly!"

Lin Xuan pointed a finger forward, and countless primordial energy surged into the staff. Its volume instantly expanded, quickly reaching over a hundred feet in size.

Great Sword Technique!

This wasn't entirely accurate, but the principle was the same.

Then, with a buzzing sound that entered his ears, the entire space seemed to shake. The staff descended upon the sea surface with the force of a thunderbolt.

Unlike expected, this time it didn't create a towering wave. Instead, the bone shield, though an excellent treasure, couldn't withstand the impact for long and shattered in just a few breaths.

The staff's momentum continued unbroken as it struck the two crossed bone blades.

Boom!

A deafening sound echoed through the air as different colored spiritual lights clung to each other. Light waves burst forth from the collision point, and white fog began to rise in the air due to the evaporation of seawater.

For a moment, it seemed neither side had gained an advantage.

But Lin Xuan wasn't about to stop here. He flicked his sleeve, and a fan measuring a foot long flew out.

Lin Xuan grabbed it and gently shook it, "Pak," the fan opened, revealing a landscape painting.

The force from his body surged into the fan, and a green light column shot up. Soon after, the light condensed, revealing a verdant mountain peak.

Spiritual energy radiated from this mountain. As it spun, its size increased at an incredible rate until it reached over a hundred feet high—looking like a real mountain.

"Fall!"

With Lin Xuan's roar, the mountain fell like a meteor and crashed towards his opponent.

The ancient dragon patriarch was shocked. Even if he didn't consider the power of this technique, just the size of that mountain would be enough to peel off layers from anyone hit by it.

But at this moment, he couldn't even move his hands. His eyes flickered as a ghostly face appeared on his chest. This face was peculiar; although all its features were present, they were incredibly small except for an enormous mouth with sharp teeth.

It opened wide and roared!

Visible sound waves emerged, creating an unbelievable scene where the mountain seemed to be held in place, unable to fall.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. He hadn't anticipated this outcome. But what did it matter? Did he think his opponent would be satisfied just like that?

He raised his right hand and a brilliant spiritual light shone as the Ninefold Bright Moon Ring appeared on his chest. The force from his body surged into it, and several ice dragons and fire dragons appeared in his vision, circling and dancing with deafening roars.

But this wasn't over yet. Lin Xuan's hands kept moving, and images of seals appeared in mid-air. These dragons transformed into seven each, and the pressure they emitted didn't diminish at all, covering half the sky...

"Try my Hundred Dragon Fang!"

All the dragons simultaneously leaped out, pouncing on their target with fangs bared.

Rumbling!

The area within several miles was engulfed by ice and fire. With calculated precision against an opponent who underestimated him, the ancient dragon patriarch found himself in a dire situation.

His body was overwhelmed by the hundred dragons, and the sea was shattered, unable to close again. The natural power faced with a cultivator seemed only to retreat.

Though this might be overstated, the sheer force was indeed impressive. As a Separation Realm cultivator, Lin Xuan already possessed the power of moving mountains and overturning seas.

Lin Xuan didn't continue his attack; the previous assault had been enough for the old zombie. The key point was that his aura vanished from his opponent's sense of smell.

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as silver light shone in his pupils. He scanned around but found nothing...

This surprised Lin Xuan greatly.

The Hundred Dragon Fang's power was indeed formidable, but he knew it wouldn't be enough to kill the old zombie with just one strike.

According to logic, his opponent shouldn't have vanished.

Thinking this, his expression turned serious as a flash of spiritual light revealed the Green Flame Qilin Armor. He didn't seek perfection; he simply wanted no regrets. The force from his body surged into his eyes.

Suddenly, silver light blazed, and the secret technique of the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes was fully unleashed.

As he scanned with his gaze, Lin Xuan's pupils constricted again as he instantly used Ninefold Microsteps to vanish without a trace.

Almost at the same moment, a monstrous ghostly claw emerged from an adjacent space, targeting where Lin Xuan had just stood. It grabbed...

Unfortunately, it was too late; if Lin Xuan had moved even slightly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Eh!"

A surprised voice echoed in his ears, filled with resentment and malice. Numerous ghostly mists suddenly swarmed together as the ancient dragon patriarch appeared.

It was still a spirit retreat technique, but its complexity left him stunned.

However, Lin Xuan's eyes were sharp; he quickly noticed that several talismans were attached to his opponent's chest. The spiritual energy inside had already been exhausted.

Clearly, the old zombie relied not just on his retreat technique but also on these few talismans. Realizing this, Lin Xuan regained his composure.

Otherwise, such unpredictable movements would have greatly disadvantaged him in battle.

The ancient dragon patriarch's face showed obvious signs of distress; many parts of his body were injured. The Hundred Dragon Fang's power was formidable, and he couldn't have escaped unscathed after being hit by it.

"You brat, for four hundred years, I wonder where you've been hiding. But your strength has indeed improved," the ancient dragon patriarch said with a complex tone in his voice.

"Scared?" Lin Xuan taunted.

"Fearful? Old man has crossed more bridges than the path you've walked. Don't be so presumptuous here. Although you are harder to deal with, it's no big deal; I just need this avatar to fall into a deep sleep for another few thousand years. Heh, that price is within my means," he said slowly after a moment of silence.

"What?" Lin Xuan felt something was amiss but couldn't put his finger on exactly what.

"Brat, let me tell you the truth: Old man's treasure is mostly hidden here. Do you really think I would be content with just one avatar guarding it?"

"What do you mean by that? Are there other helpers besides you?" Lin Xuan asked, his eyes showing a hint of panic but quickly regaining composure.

How could he know if this was true or false? He couldn't let himself be intimidated!

"Foolish, when did I say anything about having helpers? The fewer people who know the location of the treasure, the better," the ancient dragon patriarch said with a twisted smile.

"But then..."

"Hmph. You didn't listen to me, brat. Do you know why this avatar has been in deep sleep for ten thousand years?"

The ancient dragon patriarch's laughter grew more triumphant as Lin Xuan's unease increased. With his experience, he could easily discern if the old man was bluffing.

Moreover, since the beginning, he had felt an inexplicable warning that never ceased. Could it be...

"Perhaps you already know. Right, nurturing? This avatar can normally release half of my power in a normal state. The ten thousand years of sleep were for accumulating strength. If needed, I could unleash these stored powers, and they wouldn't fall short of the original body..."
