第两千四百零七章 神奇的真灵铠甲

With Lin Xuan's astuteness and extensive experience in magical combat, such a situation was something he had never witnessed. His face turned red with anger as the time to use any other divine power was now too late; there wasn't even enough time for him to summon his treasures. With a loud roar, Lin Xuan’s voice echoed through the air, and a burst of spiritual light erupted from his right hand, striking the opponent forcefully.

"I am no ordinary cultivator; my long-range attacks are strong, but close combat is weak," Lin Xuan thought to himself. "Regardless of whether I summon any treasures or engage in close combat after distant attacks, I will not be at a disadvantage."

That punch was incredibly fast and accompanied by a forceful vortex of energy. The space seemed to warp as it passed through, allowing the spatial force to reveal the hidden form of the ghostly fog.

The ghostly fog coalesced into the figure of a young man in a green robe.

With a sinister expression on his face, he suddenly extended his fingers, which grew sharp and sprouted several inches-long green nails. He lunged at Lin Xuan with these claws.

Lin Xuan's shield barely held for a moment before shattering like an inflated bubble. Despite the brief time, it had managed to hold off the ghostly fog until the Lesser Luo Tian Divine Form took shape. The eighteen arms moved in various mystical postures, and as they did so, eighteen divine seals appeared, transforming into a shield.

The claws struck the surface of the shield, creating ripples like throwing stones into a small lake, but the shield was sturdy enough to block them effortlessly. This enraged the green-robed man, who transformed back into ghostly fog and lunged at Lin Xuan again.

The ghostly fog coalesced into a black vortex about ten feet in diameter. A loud rumbling sound echoed as an enormous magical arm emerged from the vortex, striking Lin Xuan's shield with a powerful punch.

"Bang!"

This punch was incredibly forceful, far more destructive than the claws. The shield shattered instantly under its impact. However, Lin Xuan wasn't foolish; he retreated without revealing his whereabouts.

The ghostly fog reformed, and the green-robed man appeared once again. Seeing that Lin Xuan had vanished, a sneer formed on his lips.

"Trying to hide? What a joke," he said with a mocking tone.

Before he could finish speaking, he touched his forehead, revealing an enlarged third eye. The crack in his forehead was now clearly visible, and it slowly opened like glasses.

Known as the Tri-Eyed Ancestor, this title wasn't given lightly. In terms of spiritual eyes and secret techniques, only the Grand Commander and a few others could surpass him.

The green-robed man's third eye emitted a thin ray of intense light. With a loud bang, Lin Xuan staggered and appeared ten feet away.

"Hand over your life; you have no chance to escape in front of me," the green-robed man said with a fierce expression.

Lin Xuan showed signs of panic as he tried to counterattack. Several sharp swords shot out from his fingers, aiming at the green-robed man's head.

This time, the opponent didn't transform into ghostly fog but instead twisted his body in an odd manner, dodging the nine-palace momentary swords and rushing towards Lin Xuan.

Closer now, only a foot apart. Lin Xuan showed genuine signs of panic; he wasn’t afraid of close combat, but this ancient demon was unpredictable.

He had no time to dodge, so he punched forward. The punch struck his chest, but the impact was strange. The area where it hit turned into ghostly fog, and the punch went right through him without causing any harm.

"Lin boy, you waste your efforts; with just your strength, you can’t hurt me. You’ll need to practice for thousands of years before you might have a chance," the green-robed man said with a sinister grin.

Before he could finish, his chest transformed again into a demonic mouth with sharp teeth trying to bite Lin Xuan's hand. His left arm raised and turned into a curved magical sword that slashed at Lin Xuan’s head.

The demon was ruthless, aiming to kill Lin Xuan in one strike. The situation was dire; there was no room for dodging.

Would he really fall here?

If there were any observers, they would surely intervene. However, under this crisis, Lin Xuan smiled.

After much effort, the opponent had finally fallen into his trap.

Lin Xuan roared loudly without any additional movements. The Lesser Luo Tian Divine Form suddenly changed in an unusual manner.

The eighteen arms disappeared, replaced by a golden-winged phoenix bird appearing before him. It looked imposing and powerful, though far from the true divine spirit's might, it was still formidable.

The transformation wasn't complete; Lin Xuan’s hand moved again, and the phoenix’s shadow became blurry before reappearing as a phoenix. Then, a qilin appeared...

Three divine spirits alternately appeared on his back and vanished.

A loud rumble echoed as intense spiritual light burst forth from Lin Xuan's body. From within him, three divine spirits' calls alternated, sounding majestic and ancient.

Then, dazzling spiritual light erupted from his body, enveloping him in a striking armor.

The surface of the armor was incredibly intricate and ornate. On its chest, there was a qilin’s head; on the left shoulder, a golden-winged phoenix's face appeared vividly; and on his right forearm, a blurry phoenix pattern was carved.

With three divine spirits' blood, all their powers now condensed into this armor.

"Nine Heaven Divine Luo Form!"

The Grand Commander of the Demon Race, hidden in Tian Xiaojian’s spirit sea, couldn't help but exclaim. He knew this technique well; although it seemed immature, there was no doubt that it was the Nine Heaven Divine Luo Form!

Millions of years later, he saw it again on a mere fragmentary cultivator. Could it be...

Lin Xuan didn’t know about the Grand Commander's shock. After putting on the divine spirit armor, his opponent’s attacks were nothing compared to before.

Lin Xuan grabbed the magical sword that was slashing at him with his left hand and held it tightly in his palm.

Although the sword was sharp, it couldn't pierce through the armor. The demonic mouth also failed to bite Lin Xuan's hand; its teeth were blocked by the armored arm.

The situation wasn’t over yet. With a loud roar, the phoenix pattern on his right arm lit up, and flames appeared.

"Divine Spirit Fire!"

The green-robed man was shocked as he saw the fire containing a trace of phoenix power.
