第两千六百六十四章 破阵而出

Now, the elders of the Three Factions Alliance had no choice but to proceed. On the other side, Lin Xuan's actions subtly changed.

Although he possessed purified Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, which could instantly replenish his expended magical power, this method was not the proper path.

Consuming too much Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk would also have some adverse effects.

If truly encountering a formidable enemy and having no choice but to do so, it would be understandable. However, at this moment, Lin Xuan clearly had other options available.

Although the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye failed to find where the array's center was located, that did not mean there were no ways to break the array.

He just needed to use a companion treasure.

However, this treasure was a one-time-use consumable item, and he didn't have many of them. He wouldn't wish to use it unless absolutely necessary.

A bit reluctant!

But as an old saying goes, when faced with two harmful choices, choose the lesser evil. With Lin Xuan's deep-seated wisdom, he naturally made the correct choice at this moment.

A determined look flashed across his eyes.

He continued manipulating the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword to deal with the distant ghostly entities while reaching out and tapping his waist. A flash of spiritual light appeared before him—a jade box no more than a few inches in length and width, without any prohibitive talismans affixed to it because this jade box itself contained similar effects.

Lin Xuan's movements were extremely swift. With a flick of his fingers, "Pak," several round beads the size of dragon eyes entered his field of vision.

Though unremarkable on the surface, Lin Xuan's gaze was filled with fervor. These treasures had been obtained from Snowflake Saint Ancestor. Back then, it allowed him to return from the Demon Realm ahead of schedule. Breakthrough Boundary Pearl!

This tiny bead contained spatial laws, and they were highly advanced ones.

Lin Xuan didn't know what kind of array was set up in the valley, but it clearly possessed formidable abilities that trapped him there.

The array was strong; using brute force alone, he couldn't tear it apart. However, this Breakthrough Boundary Pearl was different. The spiritual realm and ancient Demon Realm were parallel interfaces, and their interface powers could overwhelm even ordinary Golden Transformation cultivators. This pearl's power easily overcame them, demonstrating its overwhelming might.

Using the Breakthrough Boundary Pearl to break the array would be a case of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

This was why Lin Xuan felt reluctant to use it. Unfortunately, he had no other choice at this moment.

He could only bear the pain and part with it.

Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan's mind as his actions remained swift.

To break just one array, the Breakthrough Boundary Pearl didn't require any additional assistance. He directly waved his sleeves and cast out a bead from within.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded like an extra sun suddenly appeared in the sky. The light was incredibly bright, radiating dazzling rays of light. Following that, the entire space seemed to be covered by a thin layer of ice and snow, which rapidly melted under the intense sunlight.

Indeed, it was melting.

Unlike the previous breakage, this time's melting could not be reversed because even the array-setting tools had been affected. Under the Breakthrough Boundary Pearl's formidable power, they turned into useless scraps.

As a result, the array naturally broke down, and the valley returned to its lush greenery.

Lin Xuan raised his head, and more than twenty figures entered his vision.

They varied in height and build but were all at the Spirit Transformation stage. The closest one was only about a hundred zhang away, while the farthest was around a thousand zhang.

For cultivators of their level, such differences were negligible.

Seeing Lin Xuan break through the array, the faces of those Spirit Transformation experts turned to an indescribable state of shock and anger. Despite still being in superior numbers, their confidence had been completely shattered by Lin Xuan.

Just moments ago, they had witnessed how easily several companions were killed by Lin Xuan. How could they, with similar strength, fare against him?

"Whoosh!" A piercing sound entered his ears as a robed old man dressed in black robes chose to escape when the situation became dire.

This individual's遁光 (flying light) was swift; he quickly flew towards the horizon.

The other old monsters had already been hesitant. Seeing someone lead the way, they immediately fled in all directions, even the Supreme Daoist of Tai Xuan Sect turned into a streak of flying light heading far away.

"You..."

The woman in black robes looked both shocked and furious. She couldn't believe that such Spirit Transformation experts were so cowardly. Even if the opponent was strong, wouldn't twenty or more people running for their lives still have the face to live?

She might as well buy a tofu and end it all.

Unfortunately, she forgot that cultivators are inherently more afraid of death than ordinary humans. She had been blinded by grief over her partner's demise.

Others would not be so easily swayed.

They believed they were making the right choice. Lin Xuan was only one person; he couldn't chase down and kill so many cultivators simultaneously. Therefore, apart from a few unlucky ones, everyone else still had a chance to escape.

Was it really like that?

Lin Xuan's lips curled into a sneer.

He wasn't a cruel killer, but he understood the principle well.

Letting a tiger back into the mountains would bring endless trouble.

Having fought to such an extent with the Three Factions Alliance, their relationship was irreconcilable. Either you died or I did. How could Lin Xuan be so foolish as to let these old monsters of Spirit Transformation stage return?

When they had the upper hand earlier, they hadn't spared his sect's disciples.

He was merely retaliating now.

With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan really acted.

Waving his sleeves, spiritual light flashed, and a dilapidated tower flew out.

On the surface, it looked unremarkable.

But how could the Ten Thousand Souls Tower be trash?

Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and a magical technique shot out from his fingertips. As he moved, creaking sounds filled his ears as the entire tower emitted spiritual light. The first layer opened, and brilliant white light erupted inside, forming a vortex that was dazzling to look at.

Following this, buzzing noises grew louder as blood-red insect clouds poured out. The number of these insects was staggering.

Bloodfire Ants!

Lin Xuan didn't expect these demonic insects to defeat the old monsters of Spirit Transformation stage in battle. Even with such numbers, it would be impossible.

He only hoped that a slight delay would suffice.

Among these twenty or so old monsters, Lin Xuan intended to leave none unscathed.

"Throw!"

A mental command issued from Lin Xuan, and the bloodfire ants immediately split into several groups, chasing in different directions.

Though the process seemed complex, it took but an instant. Just as he finished everything, a sudden flash of sharp light sounded in his ears. A black lightning bolt streaked towards him.

The speed was indeed swift, but such an attack would be too simplistic to hit Lin Xuan.
