第三千三百八十九章 林轩化身

The woman's reaction was swift, but her face was filled with disbelief. She had lost more than she gained; she never expected such an outcome.

How could the opponent remain unperturbed after his innate treasure artifact was destroyed? How did he manage to get behind her despite being hit by her own attack?

Too many questions swirled in her mind, but at this moment, with her life hanging by a thread, she had no time to ponder. Her essence soul was enveloped by a bundle of阴wind and retreated rapidly.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Xuan did not let it slip away. He waved his hand, and the Nine Palaces Musty Sword, which had disintegrated into fragments, suddenly emitted silver light and reassembled itself in mid-air. The thin, ethereal swords appeared, with no visible cracks on their surfaces.

"Is this... Sword Spirit Virtualization?"

The Ghost Mother of Yellow Springs' voice sounded like a dream, filled with disbelief. This was the domain of spiritual beings; it was the exclusive technique of Fairy Lotus. Where did this boy learn it?

Even if he could perform Sword Spirit Virtualization, his treasure would still be tainted by her illusory Yin Lightning, making it impossible for him to escape unscathed.

Before she could fully process these thoughts, a series of electric arcs shot out from the surface of the Nine Palaces Musty Sword.

Illusory Yin Lightning!

It seemed even purer than what she had conjured. The Ghost Mother's face showed disbelief as everything before her was incredibly real.

Could he also use Illusory Yin Lightning? No wonder...

The nightmare was not over yet. Black electric arcs and blood-red demonic flames were sucked into the Nine Palaces Musty Sword like a whale swallowing water.

She truly did make things worse for herself this time, turning her hard-earned techniques into nourishment for the sword. The silver light intensified as the blade's surface flowed with a hint of crimson.

The Nine Palaces Musty Sword released its malevolent energy and fiercely slashed towards Lin Xuan.

The Ghost Mother was shocked and angry, trembling in fear as she pointed at him, reciting an ancient incantation.

A bone lotus flower appeared in the sky. It spun, releasing countless pale-white corpse energies that condensed into a monstrous entity—a Bone Dragon!

Over a hundred feet long with three grotesque heads, its mouth spat out a barrage of thunder and fire. The corpse energy clashed with the Nine Palaces Musty Sword.

An advanced cultivator indeed proved formidable. Despite being at such a disadvantage, he still managed to perform so well.

Lin Xuan's face showed admiration as he did not stand idle. He flicked his sleeve, and the Celestial Net Diagram emitted green light while his nine-headed eighteen-armed avatar reappeared behind him.

However, this meant that his True Spirit Armor vanished entirely, since these two techniques could only be used one at a time.

It was hard to determine which was stronger; it came down to situational judgment. The subtlety of technique lay in the heart's choice.

"Expand!"

With Lin Xuan's shout, the Nine Palaces Celestial Net transformed into a colossal entity over a hundred feet tall. Eighteen arms danced, revealing eighteen different weapons—swords, spears, and halberds—that radiated pressure not inferior to ordinary later-stage heavenly treasures.

Eighteen arms swung wildly, emitting dazzling light as they struck the Bone Dragon viciously.

The Bone Dragon did not back down either. Six eyes glowed with blood, releasing malevolent energy as it lunged at the Nine Palaces Celestial Net.

Two colossal entities engaged in close combat, creating a chaotic scene that seemed to tear apart the heavens and earth.

Meanwhile, the bone lotus continued spinning, emitting countless threads that transformed into white bone spears. They clashed with the Nine Palaces Musty Sword.

Though his innate power was formidable, it was temporarily blocked by the Bone Dragon's attacks, leaving him helpless.

The Ghost Mother heaved a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred. Lin Xuan’s main body was controlling the Nine Palaces Musty Sword with an innate artifact when another slightly darker-skinned Lin Xuan appeared in the space.

They had no difference in appearance or expression, both wearing mocking smiles. The latter held the Overwhelming Sea Halberd and slashed at the void.

Sizzle...

A gray rift appeared as if a piece of cloth was torn apart.

The darker-skinned Lin Xuan flashed into the rift.

In the next moment, he arrived before the Ghost Mother.

"Body Transformation!"

The Ghost Mother's expression turned pale. The "surprises" Lin Xuan had given her were too many; this ambush mirrored what happened earlier.

Had she fallen into the same trap again?

Hating Lin Xuan deeply, she realized it was too late to dodge. She only managed to turn her body sideways as intense pain struck. One of her arms was gone.

Her essence soul did not bleed, but the severe injury caused significant loss of energy. A slip could even drop her cultivation level.

Lin Xuan, a relentless cultivator, seized this opportunity and did not hesitate. Although his body transformation lacked strength, it was sufficient to deal with an injured essence soul in such circumstances.

He flicked his sleeve, and a black banner flew out, enveloping him like a black cloud. Countless gray blades shot forth from within.

At such close range, the Ghost Mother could not evade. However, her face did not show despair; instead, there was a flash of sorrow and resolve before it turned to hatred.

"Fine, fine, you brat! I never expected to be forced into this situation. Since that's how it is, neither will you survive—let us both perish together!"

Before she could finish speaking, the Ghost Mother opened her mouth, releasing a black Yin Qi.

The Yin Qi twisted and dispersed, revealing eight banners. Each banner bore an abominable ghost pattern on its surface.

More astonishingly, these ghosts were not mere images; though sealed within the banners, they danced with malevolent energy.

Each banner emitted formidable spiritual pressure, making them among the top-tier later-stage heavenly treasures. Moreover, their effects compounded when used together, creating a terrifying combined power.

Black light flashed as the eight banners floated around the Ghost Mother's essence soul, enveloping her in a black protective layer.

Gray light surged, but it could not penetrate this shield.

Lin Xuan’s body transformation looked grim.

He flicked his sleeve again, and numerous electric arcs and flames appeared. The surface of the Overwhelming Sea Halberd also emitted runes as crescent-shaped light blades shot out.
