第两千六百一十七章 可怕的怪物

Lin Xuan recognized the aura of this unexpected guest, yet his own face was filled with incredulity.

How could it be possible!

The avatar of Tiaomu; he had surely eradicated it a hundred years ago. Its fur and bones were still in his storage bracelet. It couldn't possibly have revived itself.

What on earth was going on?

Could it be... that he misread the situation?

Lin Xuan felt dazed, but quickly shook his head.

No, he couldn't have made such a mistake. This terrifying aura was undoubtedly Tiaomu's.

And it had him firmly locked in its sights.

Was this avatar of one of the Four Evils of the Demon Realm really descending to the Spirit Realm again?

With no time to think, Lin Xuan could only speculate. But this... was too insane.

After all, Tiaomu was a true spirit of the Demon Realm, known for its formidable reputation. Such an existence wouldn't dare open a portal between realms lightly; it would be hunted down by the great powers of the Spirit Realm if it did so.

In the Spirit Realm, its strength would be somewhat diminished. Facing an overwhelming force, it could easily fall in battle without even noticing.

Though Tiaomu was ruthless, he wasn’t stupid enough to take such a risk. Even descending an avatar here carried significant danger. One descent might be acceptable with careful planning, but to send another avatar into the Spirit Realm after one had been eradicated... that was too insane.

Avatars were hard to cultivate and had a deep connection to their original forms. Too many avatars falling could affect the main body in some way. Few great powers would act so recklessly, which is why Lin Xuan found Tiaomu's actions so absurd.

Could there be something precious in this Ice Sea Realm that made him take such risks?

Though Lin Xuan had inventoried the treasures of the Elder Xuan Ice, none were truly remarkable enough to warrant such repeated contention. The jade cylinder with the "Soul Burning Art" was useful but risky to use due to its immense power.

Tiaomu wasn't after this item.

But if not for a treasure, could it be revenge?

Lin Xuan's mind flashed another thought.

No, that wouldn’t be worth such risk. But who could say? His cautious nature aside, Tiaomu was known for his explosive temper. In the Human Realm, he had ruined Lin Xuan’s plans; a hundred years ago, an avatar of his had been eradicated by chance. Perhaps this guy was so enraged that he disregarded all consequences and sent another avatar to the Spirit Realm.

As if to confirm Lin Xuan's suspicions, the sky suddenly turned dark.

Dark clouds gathered, though not to the point of complete darkness, they made it feel as if the sun had set on the horizon.

But this was only the beginning. Soon, thunder rumbled in his ears, getting louder and more intense each time. It sounded like giants were beating their war drums, tearing at everyone's eardrums with its terrifying sound.

Some lower-level demons fainted from the shock, while others had fresh blood seeping from their mouths.

Lin Xuan’s expression was serious. While this loud noise wasn’t much of a problem for him, the formidable enemy he would face...

He didn't have much confidence.

In fact, he felt that his chances were zero.

The enemy was too strong!

An avatar of Tiaomu could be a major monster at the Transcendence stage.

Last time, he had managed to eradicate it purely by luck. The avatar had already suffered severe injuries before facing him and had dropped in cultivation level due to its grievous condition. If not for that, Lin Xuan might have lost.

This time was different. If Tiaomu sent another avatar, it would be fully intact. Despite his dual infant and one pillbottle advancing simultaneously, he still wouldn’t stand a chance against an old Transcendence monster.

Staying here was too dangerous!

Maybe the best option was to flee?

Lin Xuan couldn't help glancing at the two beautiful young women beside him: Fragrant and Yuankuo.

If he left, the Snow Fox Clan would surely be angry. The princesses would then bear the brunt of Tiaomu's wrath.

This wasn’t what Lin Xuan wanted to see.

But for their sake, should he stay and face Tiaomu?

Lin Xuan was not that foolish; he wasn't a man who would run after seeing beautiful women.

He needed the strength to save them. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be heroic but suicidal.

So leaving seemed like a good choice, yet as he pondered, Lin Xuan hesitated about abandoning his troubles for the Snow Fox Clan.

Leave or stay?

How should he choose?

Lin Xuan was unsure.

Fortunately, this trouble didn't require much thought; because he felt his aura had been locked. In other words, whether he fled or not made no difference. The divine consciousness of a Transcendence existence far exceeded his imagination, and its speed was beyond description. He couldn’t escape from such a lock.

In short, he now had no choice but to fight.

Lin Xuan's expression was grim, yet he also felt relieved. At that moment, the dark clouds grew denser overhead, and within a hundred miles, the sky began to distort.

Snap!

The sound of space tearing entered his ears, followed by a black fissure appearing, stretching over tenyard丈 (zhàng) can also refer to a unit of length in traditional Chinese measurement, equivalent to 3.33 meters.

Then an eye appeared in his vision—Tiaomu's Eye.

As Lin Xuan’s gaze swept across it, his expression changed abruptly. Despite Tiaomu merely looking at him, Lin Xuan felt immense danger.

There was no time to think; fortunately, Lin Xuan had extensive experience with magical battles. He flashed and performed Nine Heaven Microstep, making his movements unpredictable. He disappeared from his original spot and reappeared a thousandyard丈 (zhàng) can also refer to a unit of length in traditional Chinese measurement, equivalent to 3.33 meters.

Meanwhile, behind where he originally stood, there was an ice mountain towering over ten thousandyard丈 (zhàng) can also refer to a unit of length in traditional Chinese measurement, equivalent to 3.33 meters.

The Snow Fox Clan's icy city was built around this mountain.

Boom!

The air suddenly shook as a visible wave struck the ice mountain but missed Lin Xuan. The mountain shattered with a loud noise, collapsing into a rain of ice chunks.

Lin Xuan’s face showed shock and fear. While moving mountains wasn’t much for his cultivation level, what he witnessed was still too unbelievable.

Just one glance from Tiaomu had caused such destruction. A fully matured Transcendence monster was this powerful?
