第两千九百二十六章 真假领域

A terrifying pressure emanated from the opponent.

The intensity of his spiritual pressure had increased by several times compared to just now. Although it hadn't reached the peak of Transcending Tribulation, the difference between them was merely a hair's breadth apart.

Lin Xuan frowned deeply. After so many rounds of combat with the opponent, he had some idea of their strength. Suddenly increasing to this extent was clearly abnormal.

Moreover, the opponent had once said that it was just an avatar and didn't matter if it got damaged. Lin Xuan knew very well that the other party was using some kind of formidable secret technique.

With the opponent's true nature unclear, making a rash move now wouldn’t be wise.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and decided to observe first before deciding his next move. At the same time, he racked his brains on how to escape from under the opponent’s nose.

After all, in the Thirty-Six Stratagems, flight was the best course of action. Lin Xuan had originally stayed here just to buy some time. Now that this goal had been achieved, a direct confrontation wouldn’t be Lin Xuan's style; waiting for an opportunity to escape would be smarter.

However, while it sounded right, simply fleeing recklessly was not advisable. The old monster before him was far stronger than his peers, and such a move would only hasten his downfall.

Lin Xuan’s mind raced with various thoughts, but the opponent’s cold laughter cut through his ears:

"Little fellow, I didn't expect to be pushed to this extent. It's forced me to use my scales for transformation. This avatar won’t last long. Before it collapses, I'll send its essence to the underworld."

Before he could finish speaking, he swung his treasure in hand.

Puff…

With a dull thud, a dazzling black light emerged, like a giant wind blade, shooting forward.

Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted; naturally, he didn’t dare to take on the opponent's move. He tried to dodge, but as soon as he moved, he stopped again.

Lin Xuan changed his mind temporarily for a reason. The angle of that black light was too off-center.

Right, it was slightly off. Even saying it was wildly inaccurate would be an understatement.

Even if Lin Xuan didn’t move, he wouldn't get hit.

What was going on? Did the opponent make a mistake?

No, that guy was a Tribulation Transcender-level existence. Such reasoning was too far-fetched and hard to believe.

There must be some other factor at play, but Lin Xuan couldn't figure it out now. So he chose not to move… since he wouldn’t get hit anyway.

Sizzle…

Unexpectedly, the black light didn’t travel far before breaking apart, a spatial rift appearing in his ears.

Lin Xuan’s eyes showed no surprise; such feats of tearing space were nothing unusual for cultivators at their level.

Although Lin Xuan felt that there was something different about this spatial rift, he couldn't pinpoint it.

He paid little attention to it. One, such subconscious feelings weren’t reliable and could be wrong. Two, time was pressing, and he had no time to study anything.

This thought flashed through his mind before more sizzles filled his ears as the opponent’s treasure danced in hand, releasing over a hundred black rays with a dazzling display of power. However, each one's accuracy was off-the-charts; even if Lin Xuan didn’t move, he wouldn't get hit.

Lin Xuan’s brows furrowed deeply, utterly confused about the purpose behind this move.

This situation had never happened on his journey as a cultivator before. While alarmed, he felt something wasn’t right.

But since he couldn’t understand it, Lin Xuan was unsure of what to do.

He couldn’t let the opponent continue like this; otherwise, it would be disadvantageous for him. This much, Lin Xuan knew well.

Taking a deep breath, he prepared to attack with his true spirit puppet, regardless of its effectiveness. At least, he could disrupt the rhythm and not allow himself to be led around by the nose.

But just as he was about to act,

Snap!

The sound of breaking echoed in his ears, and Lin Xuan’s actions froze. He widened his eyes, seeing an unbelievable scene.

Those spatial rifts torn apart by black rays merged into one, then a vast area within several miles was cut off by the opponent.

Could it be…

Lin Xuan had a terrifying guess.

He flashed away towards the distance.

Pang!

But he was blocked back. A layer of invisible wall appeared in that void space.

Impossible!

Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, emitting silver light as Nine Palaces Musty Sword shot out and slashed at the invisible wall fiercely.

Sizzle…

But it had no effect; not even a scratch.

Lin Xuan’s face turned red with anger but didn’t give up. Without hesitation, he summoned Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.

Like a meteorite falling to earth, this attack was still futile.

This result made Lin Xuan's expression look worse than ever before.

His most powerful divine treasure had failed him.

"Little fellow, no need for fruitless struggles. You've already discovered something, but what use is that? The space torn apart now is different from earlier. In my domain, I have the final say. This time, you won't escape," the cold voice of the opponent rang in his ears, filled with murderous intent.

"Domain?"

For ordinary Spirit-Channeling cultivators, such a term might be unheard of, but Lin Xuan had encountered it before. After initial shock, he quickly regained composure and wore a mocking expression: "Domain? Why do you need to embellish yourself? If your true form could use the domain, I wouldn’t find it strange. But now here is merely an avatar at the early Tribulation Transcender stage. Yes, it’s strong, but only that. Wanting to use the domain, you don't have the qualifications. Such a powerful divine technique has never been heard of by me, where a Tribulation Transcender below later stages wield such power."

"Indeed, indeed."

The lie was exposed, and the opponent laughed instead: "Little fellow, I’m truly surprised. Generally, early-stage Tribulation Transcenders aren’t that clear on domains. Where did you hear these things? I don’t need to admit you’re right. The domain is not within my avatar’s qualifications. This domain before your eyes is merely a misleading imitation. Facing true power, it would be full of flaws. But little fellow, can you even spot its weaknesses? If you can handle you, that will suffice."

The opponent's words echoed in his ears as Lin Xuan's expression became increasingly grim.
