第两千五百九十一章 梼杌分身陨落

The moment the words left his mouth, Lin Xuan wasted no time. With a swift motion of his hand, the long spear in his right hand descended with great force towards the opponent.

Sizzle...

It was as if a silk cloth had been torn apart. Amidst the luminous light of the spirit, another crescent moon blade appeared, shattering space and flying forward at an astonishing speed.

This time, Lin Xuan merely made a casual strike, containing far less power than before. However, due to his lower realm, Wù was no longer a formidable opponent in the Tribulation Transcending stage. With this disparity, Lin Xuan held a clear advantage.

Although Blood Shadow Evasion was not weak, it was suppressed by the treasure that contained higher-level spatial laws.

Wù vanished completely from the blood shadow, but after an instant, he reappeared several dozen feet away, stumbling and staggering. The crescent-shaped light blade twisted slightly before vanishing again, only to appear in front of Wù once more.

"Aaaah!"

A deafening roar echoed as Wù's face showed a look of不甘 (reluctance).

A black aura spread from his brow, revealing a miniature version of Wù about an inch long. Although it was just a clone, it still possessed a complete fragment soul.

Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't let this go. With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of light emerged from his sleeve and transformed into a giant hand, reaching out fiercely towards the opponent.

The demon soul tried to dodge but found that some broken spatial laws lingered in the area. He couldn’t use teleportation techniques here, and his escape speed was no match for Lin Xuan's light hand.

In an instant, he was caught.

Lin Xuan’s face showed a satisfied smile: "So, you wanted to draw my soul out? What do you have to say now?"

"Humph! There's nothing to be proud of."

Despite being captured, the demon soul didn’t show any fear. "I am severely injured, and you just got lucky."

"Then what?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback; he hadn't expected such a firm stance from his opponent at this critical moment.

"How can I? It’s merely luck. When my true form descends to the Spirit Realm next time, I will repay your hatred tenfold."

The demon soul spoke with great intensity before exploding in a burst of magical light.

It was just a soul fragment, and the explosion wasn’t particularly powerful. Lin Xuan suffered no injuries but his expression turned grim.

Could Wù’s true form descend to the Spirit Realm?

Impossible!

He was a True Spirit existence; his true form appearing here would surely cause great disputes. Could there be some hidden secret?

Lin Xuan didn't believe he was just bluffing, but the demon soul had already self-destructed. If he had searched its mind, perhaps he could have found some clues.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan raised his head and scanned ahead.

Wù’s body lay suspended in mid-air, still intact.

Lin Xuan's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

Although this wasn’t Wù’s true form, the value was beyond measure. Despite his lower realm now, it was due to severe injuries. The value of its skin and bones remained that of a Tribulation Transcending stage.

Moreover, although Wù came from the Demon Realm, he was indeed a True Spirit. From this clone, Lin Xuan could likely extract extremely pure True Spirit blood.

This would be immensely beneficial for him.

Misfortune can turn into fortune; facing Wù posed extreme danger but also great rewards.

With these thoughts, Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate. With a wave of his sleeve, a streak of green light flew out and enveloped the corpse, which was then stored in his storage bag.

However, he didn't leave immediately. Closing his eyes, he released his immensely powerful divine sense. Although he had just survived a life-and-death battle, Lin Xuan wouldn’t forget why he came here.

Wù’s body had fallen, but where was the storage bag of the True Ice Ancestor?

Although the explosion's power was immense and unprecedented for Lin Xuan, the storage bags of Tribulation Transcending stage experts were undoubtedly valuable. It was unlikely that they would be destroyed.

Lin Xuan thought thus, fully releasing his divine sense to search inch by inch, not missing any minor clues. With several thousand miles still unsealed, the search wasn’t swift. However, a storage bag worth countless treasures was within reach; Lin Xuan wouldn't give up.

Half an hour passed without success.

Lin Xuan sighed. Had he miscalculated? Was the storage bag destroyed in that massive explosion?

These thoughts brought a gloomy expression to his face. But giving up now wasn’t an option. Taking a deep breath, he infused all his energy into his eyes.

With no effect from his divine sense, he could only hope for the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye to reveal something.

...

A moment later, another quarter hour passed.

Lin Xuan suddenly moved.

His shoulders trembled as he transformed into a streak of light and flew forward. However, after flying several thousand feet, Lin Xuan stopped.

A spatial rift appeared in his line of sight.

About a foot wide.

It was just a small crack, indistinguishable from ordinary ones at first glance. But through the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye, Lin Xuan seemed to detect something.

Raising his right hand, Phantom Heaven Fire flickered into existence and enveloped his palm. Lin Xuan reached out towards the rift.

Sizzle...

Electricity jumped out, but with his robust body and the protection of Phantom Heaven Fire, it had little effect on him.

Lin Xuan curled his fingers slightly, pulling at the crack as if tearing a piece of cloth from the sky. With great effort, he tore open the spatial rift.

As a Spirit Stage cultivator, Lin Xuan possessed this ability.

He then extended his head forward, his eyes glowing more intensely.

"Sure enough, it’s inside."

Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy.

It was either luck or fate that the True Ice Ancestor’s storage bag had flown into a spatial rift. This explained why his divine sense failed to detect anything earlier. If not for the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye piercing through space and time, he might have missed this treasure.

Lin Xuan felt relieved.

Removing the storage bag from the rift would be challenging for an early Spirit Stage cultivator but was trivial for Lin Xuan. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Inverted Sea Spear.

After several breaths, something appeared in his hand. However, it wasn’t a storage bag.
