第三千三百八十三章 命悬一线

This celestial city was intricately designed, yet its area wasn't vast. Although there were layers of restrictions blocking the way, Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness with all his might and still managed to gain some benefits.

Moreover, with Xiang'er guiding him, finding Moon's refuge posed no difficulty at all.

At this moment, Lin Xuan was in a state of utmost urgency. His遁光 naturally didn't waste any time.

He rushed like the wind, eager to fly to Moon's side as quickly as possible.

...

With their minds attuned, Lin Xuan’s haste wasn’t without reason. At this very moment, Moon had already been plunged into immense danger.

Even with that black-robed woman risking her life to protect her, after her realm dropped significantly, her strength had diminished greatly. Even if she risked her life, she still couldn't hold back the ferocious Yellow Springs Demon Mother.

The other party was determined to succeed!

Moon's current situation could be described as perilous and precarious.

Fortunately, this little girl had changed so much from before, and he himself had advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage.

However, it had only been a month since her advancement, and her realm hadn't stabilized yet. Engaging in battle at such a time would be too difficult both emotionally and logically.

This was why Moon's subordinates, the ghostly spirits, preferred to sacrifice themselves rather than allow Wang to intervene.

Advancing just recently, fighting against others was too strenuous. If things went wrong, they might fall into demonic possession, which would be regrettable.

Worse still, those five Deva Iron Guards had already fallen in succession.

Although they had given their all, it was futile. Five of them working together were formidable, but impossible to defeat a Tribulation Transcending old monster.

Being able to hold off the ghost for so long was remarkable.

Now, with the enemy stronger and Moon weaker, the Yellow Springs Demon Mother had joined forces with the Black-robed Woman, while her injuries were severe, almost immobilizing her.

In other words, Moon now faced two Tribulation Transcending powerhouses alone.

Especially terrifying was the Yellow Springs Demon Mother. She herself was a late-stage Tribulation Transcender, and in this world, she was one of the top-tier great cultivators.

Darkness like ink spread across the void sky as a blood-colored crescent moon appeared. Moon's white robes fluttered, her bare feet floating above them, a beauty like jade, but showing a hint of sorrow at this moment.

"Little girl, it’s come to this. Do you still want to resist? Submit your head and I'll give you a swift death."

The Yellow Springs Demon Mother's voice was icy cold, yet there was an underlying excitement on her face.

King Arrogant Deva, the former supreme powerhouse, had once shaken all three realms. Even true immortals had to bow down before him. To be able to personally kill such a powerful figure brought an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Moon didn't respond.

Compared to her past life, she might seem weak, but she also had her own resolve.

She couldn’t submit so easily; she would rather die fighting than retreat in the face of a formidable enemy.

"Sorry, Young Master. Moon has broken my promise. This lifetime, I fear we can never be together again."

Moon murmured to herself, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon, wondering where Young Master might be at this moment.

You must know how much you mean to me.

Her eyes were filled with tenderness, but quickly turned resolute.

She raised a hand, emitting a dazzling light. Five-colored glass from the Yin-Yang Treasure Box shone through.

Meanwhile, rain began to fall in the sky, not exactly rain, but countless golden and silver runes fluttering down like raindrops, magnificent to behold.

The power of law manifested.

The Yellow Springs Demon Mother's expression changed dramatically.

This girl was indeed a Deva. Having just advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage, she already had such power.

She couldn’t afford any further delay.

Though surprised, her face showed clear murderous intent.

A loud shout echoed as that black lotus flower slowly bloomed beneath her feet.

Countless light balls spewed out from within.

Then those light balls flashed and ghostly shadows of fierce ghosts appeared.

They were grayish and not illusions, but also not formed solely by mana.

"Deva, you were the ruler of the underworld in your past life. Die under this Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul technique of mine."

The Yellow Springs Demon Mother's harsh voice echoed as countless ghostly shadows surged towards Moon, intent on tearing her to pieces.

Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul—Heaven and Earth trembled!

"Bad luck!"

Moon’s face turned pale with worry. She hurriedly moved both hands, causing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to resonate.

Those rune-like symbols glowed brightly as they converged in the center.

Pressures radiated outwards, thickening the air. A massive figure appeared before their eyes.

Though still blurry, its general form could be discerned—it was a creature that resembled a dragon but wasn’t quite one, somewhat like a hybrid of a dragon and a qilin, with two wings on its back, nine heads in total, each head strange and unique, neither mosquito nor snake.

Nine-headed Fiend!

Even the powerful Yellow Springs Demon Mother couldn't help but turn pale. There was clear fear in her eyes.

But soon, this fear dissipated like a wave, leaving only icy coldness: "Do you still want to struggle? If your former spirit pet, Nine-headed Fiend, were here, I would have no choice but to flee. But if my memory serves correctly, after the battle at the Arctic Essence Light Palace, Nine-headed Fiend was sealed with the combined power of the three demon kings and true dragon and phoenix. Even if you use secret techniques to borrow a fraction of its strength, can it scare me off?"

"Watch this Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul!"

Before her words were fully spoken, those fierce ghosts rushed forward like a swarm, tearing at Moon with their claws and teeth.

Some even transformed into treasures, fiercely smashing towards the massive figure in front.

Nine-headed Fiend wouldn’t just sit idly by. It roared as its nine heads spewed out light columns of different attributes—devouring, corroding, toxic, freezing, indescribable...

However, the fierce ghosts' cries never ceased. Although these ghostly shadows were weak, their numbers were vast. As one fell in large numbers, more replaced them, making it impossible to kill them all.

"Little girl, quickly give me your head!"

The Yellow Springs Demon Mother's face was filled with impatience, her voice as unpleasant as a night owl’s.

Before she could finish speaking, the black lotus flower rapidly spun. Its petals fell off and turned into hundreds of icy rays that slashed forward.

An unbelievable scene unfolded—the ice rays could distinguish friend from foe, slicing through those ghostly shadows without causing any harm to them.

But Nine-headed Fiend couldn’t escape its fate; it was cut in half.

All the ice rays converged in the center, revealing a black demon blade.

Those ghostly shadows rushed towards it as well.

Instantly, strange light flared, and that demon blade turned blood red. The pressure it emitted was astonishing, surpassing even the Heaven and Earth Treasure, slashing down on Moon with all its might.
