第两千九百二十一章 宝物出世

Originally, using Nine Heavens Micro-Step would have allowed for a more rapid retreat. However, facing the unknown laws of this world, employing such a teleportation-like technique was uncertain whether it brought fortune or misfortune.

Lin Xuan weighed the pros and cons before opting for ordinary displacement instead. The entire process was as swift as lightning; his reaction was quick. But almost instantaneously, the unknown law rushed to this place.

The golden force vortex was powerful, but against that terrifying law of nature, it instantly melted away. While saying it had no use might be too harsh, with the naked eye, one could hardly discern any effect on that law.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan's methods were not limited to just that. The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword flew swiftly toward him next.

Though not a defensive treasure, this sword had multiple layers of defense, providing formidable resistance.

Lin Xuan was confident in his life-bound treasures.

A series of silver lights intertwined into a dazzling silver curtain.

In the next moment, silently and without warning, that eerie law collided with it.

The sensation...

Indescribable.

Without any signs, the silver curtain violently trembled.

The fluctuations were intense, as if it could break at any second.

But fortunately, it did not break. The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword indeed proved formidable; it was no ordinary treasure. Even the laws of nature couldn't easily tear through it after consuming so many precious materials during its creation.

Lin Xuan felt elated as he pointed his right hand toward the front with several fingers.

"Bang!"

The Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire fell like a meteor, crashing into the silver curtain but not for attack; instead, it fused with it.

The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword and Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire—Lin Xuan's strongest treasures and secret arts—combined to resist the mysterious law.

"Not bad, not bad."

The ghostly entity revealed some approval: "It seems my subordinates truly fell at your hands. A mere division of spirit realm can possess power comparable to a cultivation technique of breaking through tribulation; you are indeed remarkable. Given time, your achievements might rival mine. But now challenging me is too foolish."

As the ghost's words faded, Lin Xuan felt the pressure suddenly increase.

Though the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword and Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire were miraculous, the law was a more profound entity.

Lin Xuan’s defenses could hold for a moment, which was already an incredible feat. Now, that brilliant glass curtain finally shattered like bubbles.

"Bang!"

Spiritual light exploded in vibrant colors, like fireworks. The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword turned to dust and vanished with the wind; Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire's dazzling light quickly dissolved away.

Both of Lin Xuan’s divine arts were broken, one of which was his life-bound treasure. Such destruction would surely harm the owner as well. A mocking glint appeared in the ghost's eyes, and this time, he no longer held back.

The law of nature surged like a tide toward Lin Xuan. Although he retreated some distance, escaping was still impossible.

Whether he would fall or not remained uncertain, but this time, Lin Xuan’s attempt to escape unscathed was clearly futile.

Just then, a high-pitched clear sound rang out, piercing the sky like phoenix song.

No, it wasn’t a phoenix's cry, but equally arrogant and melodious.

Before the sound could settle, a large amount of spiritual light and treasure aura bloomed in mid-air.

Moreover, the mountains beneath his feet suddenly trembled. A pop echoed as a dazzling red hue filled the scene. Molten lava from the lake was driven by an unknown force, erupting directly.

The treasure had emerged; the Vermilion Bird Ring was finally complete.

Lin Xuan’s mind raced to understand why this change occurred.

Heaven be praised! His life-risking delay paid off.

Thoughts whirled in Lin Xuan's mind as he acted swiftly. The unexpected turn left the mysterious ghost speechless. He had waited for this moment, and now his treasured item was finally complete.

This sudden joy made him momentarily dazed, affecting his control over the law of nature slightly. This small lapse presented an opportunity that Lin Xuan couldn't afford to miss.

With a determined bite, he used Nine Heavens Micro-Step.

Though he knew such a situation wasn’t ideal for employing teleportation techniques, sometimes taking risks was necessary.

Prosperity comes from risk-taking; this didn’t contradict his cautious nature.

A flash of spiritual light revealed Lin Xuan’s successful escape through the law's gap.

Several hundred feet away, his figure became indistinct as he reappeared.

Phew!

Lin Xuan exhaled in relief. He had thought it would be impossible to escape but now, thanks to the emergence of a treasure, he managed to turn danger into safety.

While Lin Xuan escaped, the ghost seemed unconcerned.

His mind was focused on the soon-to-emerge treasure, which took countless efforts to create. This small boy could be dealt with easily; eliminating him would be like crushing an ant.

Indeed, this guy was too tiny for Lin Xuan's liking.

A brief respite allowed Lin Xuan not to miss his vigilance as a life-bound item slipped into his palm from his sleeve.

Delaying was the goal. The critical challenge of life and death awaited next.

Meanwhile, on another side,

Lin Xuan’s inner avatar stood ready. Though its cultivation method differed significantly from his main body's, controlled by the second spirit core, it was still essentially the same person.

Not mind-to-mind connection but information sharing; if the main body faced danger, the avatar would be just as anxious.

But he had to stay here.

Lin Xuan’s hidden move early on proved invaluable.

Waiting was agonizing. A mere cup of tea seemed like a hundred years for Lin Xuan.

As time passed, the situation grew increasingly unfavorable. Though his main body didn’t exhaust its divine arts, what remained might not be effective.

The avatar could only watch helplessly.

Fortunately, his luck was excellent; the Vermilion Bird Ring finally succeeded at this critical moment. Lin Xuan rejoiced and acted without hesitation.

Over these months, he had thoroughly studied this array.
