第三千五百七十九章 灵族圣女的绝技

She was enveloped in a colorful aura, but soon that dazzling light began to fade.

After another moment, the shimmering light vanished completely. The Spirit Clan Saint Maiden had also mysteriously disappeared. In her place appeared an ancient-looking ear ring, clearly a remarkable treasure.

The Spirit Clan Saint Maiden actually revealed her true form. What was her purpose in doing so?

In the distance, Lin Xuan's situation was very unfavorable, but he could see this scene clearly. He was surprised and suddenly felt a sense of danger.

However, where exactly this danger would come from remained unclear.

Fortunately, there was no need to guess any further because the mystery quickly revealed itself.

The Spirit Clan Saint Maiden had shown her true form, unlike when the old ancestor of the Spirit Clan manifested as an jade如意. This ear ring did not emit even a trace of spiritual energy; it seemed like just a common trinket.

Then came an unbelievable scene.

The genuine spirits surrounding her stopped their attacks and showed signs of confusion before turning to Lin Xuan with fierce intent, ignoring her completely.

Was this a strategy to divert the blame?

No, that wasn't quite right.

What was happening in front of him seemed bizarre, but upon closer inspection, it could be analyzed. He had been outmaneuvered, but Lin Xuan admired the woman's courage. By revealing her true form and using the turtle breathing technique, she put herself into a state of apparent death, making her indistinguishable from an ordinary ear ring.

This method was so convincing that it would not be easily detected, but at what cost. In this state, she had no means to resist; she could be treated as a mere object.

Most opponents would never dare do such a thing, but these genuine spirit souls were reborn due to their执念 (obsession). Though powerful, they lacked intelligence.

Thus, this seemingly risky tactic was easily fooling them.

Instead of focusing on the Spirit Clan Saint Maiden, she lunged at Lin Xuan.

The complexity behind this situation was considerable, but Lin Xuan's intellect was sharp. He quickly understood the sequence of events. Knowing that didn't matter; what mattered now was how to handle his current predicament.

It was akin to adding insult to injury. Originally outnumbered, he faced an even more difficult challenge.

Indeed, it wasn't just pressure from two people but all on Lin Xuan's shoulders.

Despite his extraordinary abilities and the先天之物 (primordial treasures), he still found himself struggling.

What could he do? The Spirit Clan Saint Maiden could do this because her true form was an ear ring. Lin Xuan admired her, but he couldn't replicate it.

The wisest course of action would be to flee, but Lin Xuan didn't want to do that. He gritted his teeth and fought on.

He waved his hands wildly, emitting dazzling spells from his fingers and palms.

As Lin Xuan moved, the玄龟龙甲盾 (turtle shell dragon armor) emitted a burst of light, forming an unusually thick layer of light that enveloped him.

This light was obscure and ancient-looking. At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but its defense was extraordinary. Despite the attacks from several dozen spirit souls, they could do nothing to it.

Of course, there were downsides. Lin Xuan appeared safe for now, but the rapid consumption of his法力 (magical power) made it unsustainable even for a cultivator at the渡劫 stage.

In just a few breaths, half of his magical energy had already dissipated.

Damn it! At this rate, he wouldn't last long.

Once a cultivator ran out of magical energy, they would be like fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of their opponent.

Lin Xuan's expression was grim.

The outcome wasn't hard to predict, but he wouldn't give up so easily.

But in such circumstances, there was no way to break free.

He had to wait for an opportunity!

While this made sense, it was a difficult task.

Wait?

Don’t forget that he was constantly expending huge amounts of magical energy. How could he afford to wait?

If anyone else were in Lin Xuan's position, they might face an unsolvable problem.

But Lin Xuan wasn't just any cultivator; his expression changed rapidly as he flicked his sleeves and retrieved another treasure.

Ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk!

Of course, it had been purified by the blue star sea. While not as powerful as the legendary celestial dew, it could rival the void spirit milk.

With this, Lin Xuan could hold on for a bit longer.

No matter what, he would wait for an outcome. Moon wouldn't leave until she returned here.

With that thought in mind, he sat cross-legged and dripped a drop of ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk into his mouth. Threads of magical energy emerged from his dantian, flowing through his body to the light shield before him.

This allowed Lin Xuan to withstand the spirits' attacks for a while longer.

The two sides entered a stalemate.

But how long could this stalemate last?

No one knew.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Moon's situation had drastically changed. With Xiao Tao’s help, they managed to break through the illusionary space after some effort.

The moon moth's face was filled with shock and anger. Human plans often fall short of divine ones; she confidently planned this but never expected such a twist.

If that girl escaped from the illusionary space, capturing her again would be much harder.

Damn it!

Though angry, she couldn't help feeling disappointed at losing this opportunity.

The moon moth flapped its wings, and colorful light points appeared. They seemed to have life as they merged into the void.

The scene blurred, and the water disappeared, turning into a desert. Thunderous sounds echoed in her ears, and sand dunes trembled as several giants emerged from the grains of sand.

They were all yellowish-brown, towering over dozens of feet tall, holding different weapons, appearing incredibly strong.

They pounded their chests and roared loudly, chasing after Moon.

"Is this another illusion?" Moon raised an eyebrow, showing disdain. She had learned her lesson and wouldn't fall for the same trap again.

"Miss, be careful; it's not just an illusion. It should be a combination of reality and illusion, hiding danger within," Xiao Tao’s face showed concern. The objects before them were far more troublesome than mere illusions.
