第三千三百九十章 穷奇

Sizzle...

The sound of the palm breaking through the air was loud, but this swift attack still failed to achieve its purpose, as if a cow had fallen into the sea. The shield transformed from the banner flag was incredibly hard and unyielding.

Then, the avatar used other treasures, but they were still helpless against their opponent. A cultivator at the late Tribulation Transcending stage truly wasn't easy to deal with.

The avatar seemed somewhat helpless.

However, just as this happened, a clear ringing sound echoed. Although the bone lotus was powerful, it fell short of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword and even the Divine Sword Diagram, so how could it withstand the combined force of two treasures?

After勉强 resisting for a moment, it was ultimately shattered.

This result brought an expression of great joy to the avatar's face. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan's true body couldn't afford to be idle. He took a deep breath and his hands moved like butterflies, causing the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword to shoot out once again while the Divine Sword Diagram began to exert its power.

The true body was far more powerful than the avatar, and the two treasures used were also formidable. In just one exchange, the dark light curtain was shaken to the point of collapse.

However, the Yellow Springs Demon Mother showed no fear on her face. She spat out a mouthful of blood, and hundreds of grotesque ghost faces appeared on the surface of the light curtain.

They flickered into existence before the light curtain returned to its original state, or even became more solid. Lin Xuan used all his strength but could only shake it. He couldn't break through it completely.

Lin Xuan's expression changed wildly. Even if he didn't mention the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword, another treasure was a primordial object, and yet it was helpless against this light curtain. No one would believe him if he said that out loud.

The Yellow Springs Demon Mother wasn't idle either. Another incredible scene unfolded before Lin Xuan's eyes.

This woman spat out a cloud of dark energy, which flickered with ancient and profound talisman inscriptions as it appeared in front of her.

These talismans flashed and then flew back into the center of her forehead.

A wave of法则 power spread out, and the Yellow Springs Demon Mother's essence body grew visibly larger. Initially only an inch long, after a few moments, it became similar to that of a normal person. Her appearance and physique were just like the Yellow Springs Demon Mother from earlier. Lin Xuan was dumbfounded; such things had never been seen before.

It is well-known that an essence body can possess another's body when there is no physical form. When can it recover its original state?

Lin Xuan was in a state of shock, almost frozen with surprise. Although the idea seemed absurd, since this happened, there must be a reason. Lin Xuan had broad experience, but compared to those who lived for millions of years, he still had some distance to go.

If Menglai were here, she would immediately recognize it as the legendary Essence Body Sculpting Technique. Ordinary cultivators hadn't heard of it because this ancient technique could only be mastered by late Tribulation Transcending cultivators and was seldom used.

The essence body was forced into this situation out of desperation. Although it temporarily restored her peak strength, there were severe consequences. Dropping in cultivation level was one thing; she might even disintegrate completely.

If she weren't at her wit's end, she wouldn't have done this.

Since she had performed the technique, she harbored a resolve to destroy both of them together.

With no reservations, she aimed to kill Lin Xuan here and now.

"Damned brat! It was all you that forced me into this situation. Since it is so, let's both be reduced to ashes."

On the surface, the Yellow Springs Demon Mother appeared fully recovered from her injuries. However, her once somewhat beautiful face was filled with venomous hate, her features twisted in anger.

Before she could finish speaking, a finger as heavy as a mountain pointed forward.

With this woman's action, a loud explosion echoed through the heavens and earth, causing them to tremble.

Then, "Crack" sounds continued, and the void collapsed, revealing a gray-black hole.

It wasn't a spatial rift or vortex. The diameter of the hole was over a hundred feet wide, deep beyond sight. Even Lin Xuan's Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes couldn't see through it; he had no idea what kind of ghostly creatures lurked inside.

"Brat, you're not so formidable, right? Try out the power of Pienqi."

The Yellow Springs Demon Mother's voice was incredibly low and sinister. Before she could finish speaking, whizzing sounds filled his ears as eight banner flags flew back into her gray-black hole.

"Moo!"

Then a strange sound like a tiger roar or a bull's bellow echoed in his ears. Even with Lin Xuan's strong divine sense, he felt shaken. He took deep breaths and soon saw a monstrous creature emerge from the gray-white hole.

It was a grotesque monster that resembled both a cow and a tiger. Its body was blood red, with wings on its back. Numerous bone spines extended from its body, emitting an eerie glow. A long green tail swayed behind it.

As it moved, faint traces of法则 power spread out.

"Sure enough, Pienqi!"

Lin Xuan sucked in his breath. According to legend, Pienqi, Taomu, and the others were all great evils in the world, always mentioned together.

Previously, Lin Xuan had thought so too, but as he grew stronger, he realized this view was entirely wrong. They were collectively known as the Four Great Fiends, but they were completely different entities.

Taomu originated from ancient times and existed in a form similar to true spirits.

However, Pienqi was different; it wasn't truly a magical beast but rather formed by malevolent energy and resentment.

Of course, ordinary malevolent energy and resentment had no use. Only late Tribulation Transcending cultivators with intense hatred could manifest Pienqi through their own power.

Such occurrences in ancient times were rare.

Lin Xuan had heard of this before.

Late Tribulation Transcending cultivators manifested Pienqi at a great cost, Lin Xuan didn't know the specifics but knew it required a resolve to die.

The Yellow Springs Demon Mother was truly going all out against him.

Lin Xuan sighed and dared not be careless. Just as he wanted to strike first, he saw the Yellow Springs Demon Mother turn into a cloud of dark energy and rush towards Pienqi.

Then, an unexpected scene unfolded; Pienqi opened its blood-filled mouth and swallowed her whole.
