第一千八百一十七章 逃脱幻境

Of course, this was just a guess. But Lin Xuan still had an eight out of ten chance. A spell was cast, and the light from the golden phoenix bell flashed. The flames immediately returned to their original positions. This time, the white spirit birds did not follow closely; instead, they vanished with a puff.

The surroundings quickly calmed down again. However, this calm was only superficial. In reality, there lurked an ominous threat that could send shivers down one's spine.

How could he break through this illusionary array?

Lin Xuan had no time to dally here. At the moment, he faced at least two cultivators of the Profound Dao stage or higher, and their strength was on par with his. If he delayed too long, he might indeed face a fatal danger.

Ordinary attacks were ineffective; whether it was spirit birds or treasures, they would all be ensnared in this endless illusionary spell.

Time could not be wasted, but acting blindly was also not the right choice. Lin Xuan found himself caught between two difficult decisions.

At the same time, the golden lion had already chased up to him. However, with a look of reverence on his face as he gazed at the thick fog, it seemed that this object both intimidated and inspired respect in him.

Indeed, there was an aura of reverence, as if this thing made him both fear and respect it. Even though he knew Lin Xuan was right before him, he did not advance but instead shrank down with a flash of light.

In just a few breaths, the lion vanished, replaced by an elderly man with golden hair standing in front of him. Despite his furrowed face, he was tall and imposing, his beard and eyebrows a fiery gold, giving off an aura that did not need to be angry to command respect.

After deeply scrutinizing the dense fog ahead, the fury on his face dissipated, replaced by a leisurely expression. He had never expected such a high-ranking official to personally intervene; most cultivators would have been ensnared in this illusion and likely met with a gruesome fate.

That young man was indeed unlucky.

Now, all he needed to do was wait for the outcome here.

While his thoughts were correct, Lin Xuan was far from an ordinary cultivator. Common sense could not be used to gauge him.

Silver light shot from his eyes but without effect. This illusionary spell was too profound and complex; even if he fully activated his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye, he still couldn't pinpoint its weaknesses.

He couldn’t wait any longer. Otherwise, the hidden danger lurking beneath would make Lin Xuan extremely anxious. Once it erupted, escaping might be impossible.

Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with resolve. He could feel the terrifying nature of this illusion; ordinary attacks were ineffective. What about his final moves?

For instance… Illusory Heavenly Fire?

At least this divine technique had never let him down before!

And after a series of evolutions, it had even reached a point where it could freeze space, albeit very slightly.

However, from a certain perspective, it did possess spatial techniques' effects. If paired with another treasure, they might be able to break through the illusionary array.

While he couldn't claim full confidence, there was still a good chance of success.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated. He raised his right hand, and an ancient-looking long spear appeared in his palm.

He clenched his fingers tightly as he shouted loudly. The power surged into the treasure before him like a flood.

Woo…

Finally, a mournful sound entered his ears, as if something ancient had been activated. Countless runes emerged, mysterious and ancient, shining like stars.

This process was much more complex than when he dealt with shark demon diseases. Although Lin Xuan had coincidentally advanced both of his infant souls to the later stages along with his pill, there was still a gap compared to true Profound Dao cultivators. To fully unleash the potential of this ancient treasure would be extremely difficult.

However, it wasn't impossible. As moreYouzhou characters appeared as Lin Xuan's power surged in, they quickly formed a circle, revealing an intricate and peculiar array before him.

Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction. Without hesitation, he raised his right hand high and swung the spear forward with all his might.

A crescent-shaped light blade appeared in his vision, more glaring than ever before. Tiny arrays were embedded within it, containing some spatial rules. Although they were just a surface-level understanding of these rules, they still represented rule power, far beyond his current level. To be precise, Profound Dao cultivators couldn't even touch such things.

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he watched the path where the light blade sliced through.

Sss…

After flying several hundred feet, a sound like tearing cloth filled his ears. Then, before him, space… no, more accurately, that ice and snow world illusion shattered.

A long gash was torn in it, though it quickly healed. Lin Xuan had finally seized this opportunity after much effort. With his usual impatience, he didn't hesitate to use Nine Heavens Micro-Step, darting out of the illusionary realm with a whoosh.

This result exceeded his initial expectations. Without using Illusory Heavenly Fire, he managed to break through the illusion. However, Lin Xuan was still not complacent.

As he exited, he activated the Azure and Green Mother-Son Shields.

Bang!

There was no suspense as a peculiarly shaped treasure flew from an unexpected direction, sending both Lin Xuan and his protective barrier flying.

Blood surged in Lin Xuan's chest as he finally identified it. It was a shape like a piercing cone, only half a foot long. Despite its small size, the power of this object was unparalleled. At least with his bare skin, there was no way to withstand such an attack. Lin Xuan felt a chill.

The opponent was not a Profound Dao cultivator at the initial stage and excelled in illusions. Could it be…

He had already guessed who the opponent might be but didn't have time or mood to confirm it now.

Run first!

Despite the blood surging in his chest, Lin Xuan did not idle. He raised both hands, drawing mysterious and ancient incantations from his lips.

The syllables were extremely strange, different from any current language's pronunciation, as if they came from an ancient era.

Blue light flickered on Lin Xuan's body, then turned red.

Multicolored light circles rotated rapidly, appearing mysterious and ancient. These spiritual lights suddenly grew in size, like living beings expanding outward, quickly covering a square area of about ten feet, enveloping Lin Xuan's figure.

"Eh?"

A short exclamation echoed as the hidden expert seemed finally taken aback!
