第一千七百三十四章 紫霄离火诀

This wasn't the worst part. When their Life Span came to an end, the元气劫 they faced was much more formidable than that of ordinary cultivators.

As everyone knew, going through the元气劫 became increasingly difficult with each attempt. However, the first time was usually quite simple; as long as one's cultivation wasn't too weak and inferior to their peers, most could easily pass it. But for sword cultivators, despite being far stronger than other schools' practitioners at the same stage, over seventy percent often perished in their first attempt. Let alone the second or third time…

Thus, high-ranking sword cultivators were few and far between. During that millennia-long war, there were only two surviving sword cultivators who had gone through the元气劫. They were a couple, both at the initial stage of cultivation, yet they led a group of分神期 sword cultivators to battle against various other schools' practitioners. Each time, they faced overwhelming odds and even some Immortal Wanderingers.

Yet, they managed to escape each time until finally, with the help of an array, they were able to destroy their opponents.

From this point on, one could see that the combat prowess of sword cultivators was indeed formidable.

But what use is it when the disadvantages are so obvious? Other schools' cultivators showed no interest. They burned those ancient texts and hunted down all remaining sword cultivators, killing them where they found them. Lin轩 was overjoyed to find out this girl's strength exceeded his expectations.

With a wave of his sleeve, the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring flew out, radiating light. Lin轩 extended both hands and tightly grasped it before pouring in his mana without hesitation.

Roar!

The Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring flashed with intense light, emitting dozens of ice serpents and fire dragons that circled and danced around them, their roars echoing continuously.

However, this was far from over. As Lin轩's hands moved rapidly, the number of dragons increased to seven per original one, each still radiating an overwhelming pressure without any weakening. This instantly blocked half the sky.

"Add my Hundred Dragon Fangs to your Purple Heaven Separation Fire Technique, Fairy," Lin轩 said with a mocking tone. "Let this old fellow experience what it's like to be beaten into a pig."

Lin轩's laughter echoed as he cast his hand seals like butterflies. Countless ice serpents and fire dragons roared in unison, lunging at the opponent.

The scene was reminiscent of Purple Heaven Separation Fire Technique, but with more differences and no less power.

The ancient Immortal Wanderinger growled in anger. Lin轩's and the woman's attacks were already upon him.

There was no time to dodge!

With a roar of fury, he struck his head, spewing out a blood-red substance from his mouth.

Though vibrant, its shape was ever-changing.

This treasure turned out to be liquid.

Lin轩 was greatly surprised. He had seen many things but had never heard of liquid treasures before. The old Immortal Wanderinger waved his hands, casting several hand seals.

A vivid painting appeared in the light screen, with Taiji and Bagua patterns on it. Then, beams of light shot out from this scroll, dispersing into colorful spiritual rays that transformed into various flying knives and swords, their malevolent energy clashing head-on with Lin轩's and the woman's attacks.

Explosions echoed nonstop as the space trembled. The woman charged forward with her sword.

She was indeed formidable.

Lin轩 couldn't help but marvel at the experience of magical combat. Such a spectacle had never been heard before, and the intense conflict caused thick white fog to fill the surroundings, obscuring any vision of the opponent.

Pang! Pang! Pang!

Explosions continued as the woman rushed forward from several dozen feet away, engaging in close combat with the old Immortal Wanderinger. Lin轩's eyebrows rose; he couldn't stay out of it. As a cultivator, he had an advantage in close combat and decided to test the new version of Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique.

Silver light flashed as he stepped forward lightly. Disappearing from his original spot, Lin轩 reappeared several dozen feet away.

Blood splattered as the woman and old Immortal Wanderinger fought fiercely. Both were drenched in blood.

The old sea monster's left hand was severed, but a thumb-sized hole appeared on the woman's shoulder.

Overall, she seemed to have the upper hand.

Lin轩 was delighted; he wouldn't retreat from such an opportunity. Beating down a fallen foe was the right choice.

Taking a deep breath, golden light flickered as the Lesser Heavenly Realm Bodhisattva manifested with nine heads and eighteen arms.

"Golden Body Bodhisattva."

The old sea monster's eyes widened in shock. He had already decided to retreat but Lin轩 wouldn't let him go. Multicolored lights flashed as each arm held a weapon—swords, spears, halberds, and more.

These treasures were the treasures of Poison Dragon Ancestor, not necessarily top-tier ancient treasures, but their power was considerable. With eighteen ancient treasures at such close range, there was no place to hide. The surrounding space was stirred as Lin轩's eighteen arms swung, sending all the weapons towards the opponent.

With Lin轩's flanking attack, the woman was extremely happy and ignored her injuries. She spat out a mouthful of blood; after being absorbed by the Purple Heaven Separation Fire Sword, it transformed into a massive dragon over ten meters long, its purple aura surging as it opened its maw to unleash a barrage of lightning.

If this were true magical combat, such techniques might not subdue an ancient Immortal Wanderinger. But now, with the close range and Lin轩 and the mysterious woman's dual attacks, the old Immortal Wanderinger had no place to hide. His full power could not be unleashed.

Though he managed to summon a few defensive talismans, they were utterly useless as those treasures were easily shattered into dust. However, this gave him some time to escape. Ancient Immortal Wanderingers weren't so easy to eliminate. Just as the old Immortal Wanderinger tried to flee, Lin轩 charged forward and pressed his right hand onto his chest.

In his palm, three colors of light flickered—Phantom Heaven Fire!

This was Lin轩's trump card; its power rivaled that of top-tier ancient treasures.

The old Immortal Wanderinger was shocked. But he reacted faster. His armor still clung to him as a flash of light appeared on his chest, revealing several sharp blades.

But Lin轩 ignored them and pressed his hand down. His entire palm glowed silver, the surface of the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique at its peak. Puff…

A soft sound echoed as the old Immortal Wanderinger's eyes widened in shock. Lin轩's hand wasn't cut; instead, those blades melted away like ice thrown into a fire.

"What…?"

The bald sea monster was shocked but it was too late to change his tactics. Lin轩's hand firmly pressed onto his chest. Blue light surged as an icy layer spread from his palm. This wasn't over yet. Then came the toxins and grayish hue, turning the hard armor into dust that blew away.

"You can go die now."

Lin轩's lips curled into a cold smile. An ancient Immortal Wanderinger in such close combat with no protection against his Phantom Heaven Fire had no chance of survival.

Three-colored flames began to spread over his skin, turning black as if life force was being drained from him.

The bald sea monster's face showed fear and angry roars echoed. But he couldn't surrender; he drew a breath, gathering all his mana to his chest, blue light piercing as he resisted Lin轩's Phantom Heaven Fire.

As an ancient Immortal Wanderinger who had endured thousands of years of cultivation, his true essence was formidable. The magic power of the Phantom Heaven Fire was halted for a moment, creating a stalemate.

Unfortunately, his opponent wasn't alone; that mysterious woman was watching with keen interest!
