第两千零五十七章 噬灵剑的威力

Besides the Frost Giant, more than a hundred魔兽 with various appearances emerged from the ice plain. They all exhaled cold air and were composed of ten-thousand-year-old ice.

"Go!"

The light voice of Ice Soul Demon Ancestor entered Lin Xuan's ears. The魔兽 giants together let out deafening roars as they rushed towards him.

Though the scene was shocking, it wasn't enough to deter him. Lin Xuan took a deep breath and his body was enveloped in green light. He intended to fly diagonally away.

It wasn’t because he feared; rather, given the current situation, directly confronting them wouldn’t be wise. Ice Soul now had the advantage of timing, location, and manpower. The only way for him to win would be to find her domain's weaknesses.

Lin Xuan didn't want to face the full force of her attack head-on, but things weren't as easy as he anticipated. One after another, Ice Soul Demon Ancestor’s countermeasures came into play. As Lin Xuan moved, a sudden fluctuation appeared in the void behind him.

Innumerable silver threads mysteriously surfaced and crisscrossed, resembling spider webs. Lin Xuan was bound with these threads.

"Phew..."

Lin Xuan stared in shock as Ice Soul Demon Ancestor's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Stupid fellow, this domain is mine to control. Do you think you can escape?"

The situation had taken an unexpected turn. Lin Xuan was truly unprepared for the sudden attack. The魔兽 and Frost Giants were already closing in.

With nowhere to hide and his hands tied, he couldn't even summon his treasures. Thus, he was completely defenseless at this moment.

"Ignorant fellow, where did you learn this technique?" Ice Soul Demon Ancestor didn’t stop him; instead, she looked shocked. Although the small罗天相 compared to her own from millions of years ago had significant differences, she wouldn't mistake it for anything else.

Lin Xuan was equally surprised that Ice Soul could recognize the small罗天相. Could this secret technique be more powerful than he thought? After all, though Ice Soul was only a fragment of her essence, her strength and knowledge were no different from the original.

One of the Nine True Demon Ancestors, an entity comparable to a scattered immortal, had a vision that couldn't be underestimated. However, Lin Xuan didn’t have time to ponder much at this moment.

After the crisis, Lin Xuan realized that while his opponent's domain might have flaws, he wouldn’t necessarily see them. After all, domains were something only渡劫期 cultivators could possess, and they were still far beyond him.

Such unfamiliar things involved concepts he couldn't fathom, so even if there were weaknesses, he would likely not notice them.

This realization was clear to Lin Xuan, but it was too late for him to act on it. Now wasn’t the time to be clever; he prepared for a straightforward battle.

One force overcomes ten!

What did his opponent’s domain matter? As long as the power was sufficient, he believed he could break through it.

With these thoughts, Lin Xuan extended his right hand. A short sword about a foot in length flew out with a flick of his wrist. The design was entirely different from his original魔缘剑; this was clearly another treasure.

Ancient yet not plain, the sword exuded a magnificent and domineering aura.

Lin Xuan grasped it, then turned his left hand to reveal a small jade bottle.

He uncorked it and swallowed a drop of spiritual essence.

"Ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk."

Ice Soul recognized the item immediately. She looked surprised; obtaining such a天才地宝 for an洞玄期 cultivator was no easy feat.

However, her pupils narrowed as she focused on the short sword in Lin Xuan's hand. It seemed familiar but different from what she remembered—perhaps a copy of that item?

"Phew... Even if it’s a copy, it shouldn’t be in the hands of an ordinary洞玄期 cultivator."

Before Ice Soul could finish her thoughts, Lin Xuan acted.

This was the first time he used the噬灵剑 after its forging. He wanted to see how effective it was. Although he hadn't tried it before, the unique phenomena during its creation were promising.

After drinking the ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk, his strength had fully recovered. He took a deep breath and infused all his power into the short sword.

Instantly, a fierce light erupted from the sword as磅礴的 spiritual energy radiated outward from Lin Xuan's hand.

Then, it split into four streams, each with distinct properties: white for gold, green for wood, blue for water, and red for fire.

The four streams of spiritual energy converged, producing clear and powerful roars. Four giant spirit beasts appeared in his vision—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

Despite their differences, each exuded a noble or rebellious aura...

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

Ice Soul’s eyes widened as she stared at the scene.

"Is this the Four Symbols Sword? No, even among先天灵宝, the Four Symbols Sword ranks high. Its power is much more terrifying. This must be a copy."

Ice Soul's murmured words reached Lin Xuan, highlighting the significance of his噬灵剑. However, he had no time to delve deeper; defeating this powerful foe was his top priority.

Lin Xuan focused on his task, ignoring what Ice Soul said. His expression mirrored his initial use of魔缘剑—his strength seemed insufficient and was being drained away.

The four spirit beasts in the air became more menacing, lifelike, and their ferocious energy spread as they charged towards the enemy.

Ice Soul no longer appeared confident. Her face showed a serious look as she waved her hands like butterflies, casting out intricate seals.

It wasn’t clear if it was an illusion, but Lin Xuan felt time seemed to slow down and space distorted. However, the spirit beasts continued their advance inch by inch.

Lin Xuan’s expression grew grim as he felt his guess confirmed—One force overcomes ten still applied even in a domain. Ice Soul's fragment was only at洞玄期; she couldn't change the laws of nature but could use her experience to some advantage.

The power of the噬灵剑 was formidable, and her domain no longer restrained him completely. However, it wasn’t without effect—both Lin Xuan and Ice Soul held their hands out, presenting a stalemate.

After a moment, a sharp sound echoed as the scene changed. The ice plain vanished, and the four spirit beasts faded into a large light ball, flying towards Ice Soul.

Every inch was difficult to traverse as space continued to distort.

Ice Soul wasn’t any better off; despite the slow-moving light ball, she couldn’t move due to the domain's constraints. At this stage of combat, they were merely exhausting each other.

Though the process seemed complex, it took only a few breaths. The struggle would eventually decide the outcome.

While Ice Soul’s techniques might be more intricate, Lin Xuan still had an advantage—his body contained two souls and one essence, meaning his strength was deeper than hers.

With the噬灵剑 in hand, this stalemate favored him.

Lin Xuan knew this; continuing to delay wouldn’t benefit him. With a loud shout, he released all his power, spitting out several mouthfuls of primordial energy.

The light ball formed by the four spirits brightened and began to fragment under the pressure. The domain's constraints finally lost effect, and its speed increased dramatically.

"Phew..."

Ice Soul gasped in disbelief as her face showed shock. This was impossible—though she was only a fragment, how could she lose to such an insignificant creature? A mere洞玄期 cultivator shouldn’t have this kind of strength!

However, the light ball had already flown within three feet of her and would soon engulf her.
