第一千八百六十五章 碧幽仙子

Straining to resist, but the gap between their realms was evident. Moreover, this stone man was impervious to weapons and magic; whether a high-ranking cultivator could break through his defenses was uncertain. At least, their treasures and spells had minimal effect.

After about a tea-cup's worth of time, all the sea creatures perished, reduced to powder by the stone man’s fists.

At one volcanic crater,

A half-bird, half-human demon surrounded by blue electric arcs swiped its front limbs, sending countless claws flying out.

Over several miles in every direction, the air was filled with a demonic aura and corpse stench.

A tall, thin figure fought against this demon. After about an hour, the corpse stench dissipated, leaving behind a green-haired monster that had been thoroughly beaten by the demon.

Then, a flash of green light appeared as the demon descended, his face looking rather grim. He had won because he was at the middle stage of the Separation Realm, but the battle had still been perilous. How could there be a Corpse Demon from the Separation Realm here? Looking at the fallen creature, he couldn't help but think deeply, feeling an ominous premonition.

In this mysterious island, many cultivators were facing阴司界ghosts and spirits. Without warning, how many humans, demons, and sea creatures had fallen to their hands. Some powerful ones had even taken down monsters' heads.

They were puzzled, but little did they know that this was only the beginning of the slaughter.

In a hidden valley somewhere,

The young woman from阴司界 stood still, facing a scar-faced cultivator. He appeared to be around thirty years old, sturdy and robust. At first glance, he seemed no different from an ordinary cultivator, but upon closer inspection, his spiritual energy was at the Separation Realm level, making him insignificant in this realm. How could the Overlord possibly recognize him? If that were the case, he wouldn't have been sent to this remote Eastern Sea.

"Your words are quite presumptuous," the young woman said with a raised eyebrow. "Even though I am also at the Separation Realm, here I am just an insignificant pawn. The Overlord would never know me."

The scar-faced cultivator sighed. While this realm was part of the spirit world, it paled in comparison to the Cold Moon Realm and the Azure Deer Kingdom. He added, "But you, with your thin but still related lineage to the Overlord’s clan, should have been taken care of by your family. Why are you here?"

"Your words are quite presumptuous," she retorted. "I am just following orders."

The scar-faced cultivator continued, "This Eastern Sea realm is our responsibility, but I doubt the Five Dragon Seal would appear in such a remote place. Other clans have sent their experts to other minor realms. We won't be considered for any achievements here..."

"Indeed," she said with a sigh. "But we can’t afford to be careless. If we fail to complete our mission, what will happen? You know the consequences."

"I understand that, but I didn’t expect this place to have such unique terrain and so many cultivators from the spirit world. Our identities are already exposed; how can we remain undetected?" he said with a hint of difficulty.

"Ha! What’s there to be worried about? Kill one if you see them, two if you find pairs. As long as all the cultivators on this island are eliminated, our worries will vanish," she said coldly.

"The Overlord's plan is brilliant. I’ll relay your message." The scar-faced cultivator took out a conch-like artifact and blew into it, but no sound came out. He explained that he was using some form of secret communication.

The woman raised her hand in the air, drawing patterns in mid-air like throwing stones onto water, creating ripples that spread outward from her palm. This method of communication also seemed strange.

Lin Xuan didn't know any of this. He was flying at a steady pace through the sky, with black clouds and red clouds floating above him.

The禁制was extremely peculiar; Lin Xuan dared not test it but as long as he stayed below 3000 feet, he wouldn’t be attacked.

He had no idea what his goal was this time. He had intended to break through a bottleneck in cultivation after meditating proved ineffective. While elixirs were miraculous, they weren't always effective.

At such moments, breakthroughs required a catalyst, which was why Lin Xuan chose to travel and explore.

Choosing the Red Leaf Island on a whim, he found it wasn’t a bad choice; there was indeed a great secret hidden here.

But what exactly? He didn’t know. The situation in this realm was too complex for him to figure out, so he decided to focus on the Heaven Heart Stone as his breakthrough point.

Though he had good intentions, he still had no idea of the stone's purpose.

He held the Heaven Heart Stone and frowned, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan sensed something and slowly raised his head. His gaze swept left. "Who’s watching me? What a bold move! Come out!"

"Haha, I didn’t expect an insignificant human to break my concealment technique. This is interesting. But you’ll regret it."

A deep, resonant voice echoed in his ears. The accent was peculiar, and Lin Xuan frowned. He could sense something wrong due to his superior divine awareness compared to other cultivators of the same level. However, the opponent didn’t reveal any spiritual energy, which was strange.

But he remained calm on the surface. A rumbling sound entered his ears as a large stone suddenly moved.

More accurately, it seemed like the stone had come alive, growing limbs and even a head. Even more bizarrely, there was a ghost face etched into its surface.

If a common person saw this, they might shiver in fear, but Lin Xuan merely narrowed his eyes. "A demon from阴司界?"

Lin Xuan’s knowledge was vast; he had encountered the Mountain of Iron and Gold in the human world before.

This stone monster was much smaller, barely ten zhang tall. However, its strength wasn’t necessarily related to its size.

Similar creatures existed in the Demon Realm as well, with both阴司and ancient demons having various forms.

Seeing the ghost face on its head, it was clear that this creature had no connection to ancient demons.

Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface but his mind was racing. Why would there be a demon from阴司界on this island? Could the Heaven Heart Stone and the demon have any relation?

The situation was becoming increasingly strange. However, Lin Xuan didn’t plan to overthink it. This creature was unusual but almost like a gift in disguise. By capturing its soul and essence, he could learn what he needed.

With that thought, the stone monster attacked first.

Its fists were as heavy as ten thousand pounds, striking with the force of wind and thunder towards Lin Xuan.

Despite its large size, it moved gracefully.

Lin Xuan frowned but didn’t stand his ground to take a direct hit. Although his physical strength was formidable and he had been consuming refined lotus fruits for centuries, practicing the Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Technique from the Buddha Sect, his primary goal as a cultivator was to use artifacts, not rely on brute force.

With a flash of movement, Lin Xuan vanished from sight. In the next moment, he appeared beside the stone monster!~!
