第三千六百七十七章 乾坤鼎

Tension was about to erupt!

Dream Ruyan's face was filled with a dark, angry expression. She never imagined that the other party would be so unreasonable.

Although Lin Xuan had made a mistake, the situation was understandable under the circumstances.

She had already submitted and was willing for them to do as they pleased—kill or torture him—but the other party still refused to let Lin Xuan go.

No… not just refuse. The other party's attitude was akin to leaving no room for mercy, bordering on extermination.

There was no room for maneuver; this was an overreach!

Anger burned in Dream Ruyan's eyes, but she did not lash out.

As the saying goes, small patience can ruin a great plan.

If it were just her, she could at most risk everything. However, her brother had been dragged into this mess because of her. Even for him, she couldn't afford to lose her temper.

Though bearing humiliation was difficult, she had no choice but to endure it now.

Despite hating the other party deeply, she forced a smile and hoped to save Lin Xuan's life: "Revenge is sweet, debts are owed. This matter started because of me, so if you let Lin Xuan go…"

But before she could finish, she was rudely interrupted by the other party: "Fool! Do you think you have any bargaining power? You're overestimating yourself."

The old man with long eyebrows sneered and spat out a green aura from his mouth.

Like a whale sucking in water, it was absorbed into the cauldron.

Following that, the treasure spun around, its mysterious light becoming more brilliant.

The lid of the cauldron opened, and countless green threads shot out, forming a sea of green flames.

At the center of this fiery ocean, the pattern of the Nine Palaces stood out especially bright.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as the surrounding primordial energy surged into the cauldron. Threads of cosmic laws leaked out, resonating with the treasure.

His expression turned serious.

A true expert could tell at a glance.

Originally, it was just an ordinaryprimordial遗物 (fragmented treasure of primordial essence). Lin Xuan didn't care much about it; after all, more advanced treasures weren't rare for him.

But now he realized that his initial assessment had been too naive.

The power of the treasure wasn't solely determined by its quality. The user's condition played a significant role as well. Different people wielded the same treasure with vastly different effects.

Especially considering that these Seven True Trues, despite their eccentric personalities, were formidable in their own right.

Originally, they had their own innate treasures, but after taking control of the Seven Treasures of Truth, they abandoned them and poured all their efforts into refining these seven treasures.

A million years had passed since then. The Seven Treasures of Truth had been thoroughly refined and far more powerful than ordinaryprimordial遗物 (fragmented treasures of primordial essence).

"Quickly!"

The old man pointed a finger forward, and a beam of light shot out from the center of the Nine Palaces in the fiery ocean.

Blinding and about as thick as an arm, it flashed past.

Its direction was similar to where Dream Ruyan and Lin Xuan were standing.

The other cultivators watching didn't show any concern. Although this attack was swift and caught them off guard, there seemed to be nothing special about it.

Perhaps… just a probing attack.

Even Dream Ruyan merely raised her arm, a faint crystal shield appearing in her palm.

But Lin Xuan's face turned deathly pale at that moment.

"Move!"

He nearly dragged Dream Ruyan away and flung her far. At the same time, his figure blurred as if the space around him was distorting.

Boom!

Silently, the beam of light easily passed through Lin Xuan's body—no, it was just a mirage.

It landed on an empty platform nearby. Despite no cultivators being in that direction, something incredible happened.

The entire platform seemed to vanish instantly as the beam of light engulfed it.

It disappeared completely, as if it had never existed.

"This…"

Hardly anyone would believe this scene with their own eyes.

Moving mountains and overturning seas might be trivial for them, but such a strange disappearance was breathtaking.

In an instant, what kind of mysterious force was that?

Would the same effect occur on someone hit by this beam of light?

Too many questions made the other cultivators' hearts tremble.

If they were in his position, could they withstand this mysterious treasure?

With that thought, almost all the present cultivators turned pale.

It's said that a reputation is hard to live up to. The Seven True Trues were even more formidable than imagined.

Opposing them was sheer foolishness; one person alone from the old man would be enough to take down that disrespectful youth without needing the help of the others.

But was it really so?

Lin Xuan's face was icy cold, but he wasn't yet showing fear.

Just a fragmentary treasure. Thinking they could defeat him was absurd.

With a flash, Lin Xuan's body was enveloped in green light as he charged at them with incredible speed.

"Stop the car with your arm!"

The old man sneered and raised his right hand, emitting another beam of light from the center of the Nine Palaces.

This time, the timing and angle were perfect. Lin Xuan had no place to hide.

But his face showed no fear as he raised his right hand again.

A silver sword beam shot out from his sleeve, swift as lightning.

Boom!

The green sword beam was dazzling, but it vanished just as quickly.

"Impossible!"

The old man's eyes widened in disbelief. He knew his own power well; the Heaven and Earth Cauldron was a primordial artifact, though merely a fragmentary treasure, its power still struck fear into people.

Especially the silent green light contained the law of annihilation. Even for peers, it would be difficult to withstand such an attack.

But the opponent's casual sword beam matched the power of the Taiji Green Light. How could this be?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed what happened.

He stood there in shock, but Lin Xuan had no intention of letting him ponder.

The Nine Palaces Sword Technique was incredibly powerful.

But for Lin Xuan to merely block the attack with a sword beam wasn't easy. With so many Seven True Trues, he couldn't afford to lose ground. At this moment, he had to act decisively and subdue these seven people quickly.

With his mind made up, Lin Xuan's expression turned resolute.
