第三千六百八十一章 绝世强者

Buzzing whispers filled his ears, and Lin Xuan's expression had sunk to an unprecedentedly gloomy level.

There was no doubt about it; the one who had arrived here must be a peerless powerhouse—Rain Mist Business Alliance’s true upper echelon.

After being repeatedly provoked, this massive entity finally began to reveal its fangs.

However, regardless of what others said, that peerless expert still remained hidden in the shadows. If not for the mind-blowing Teleportation Technique just now, everyone might have thought it was merely an illusion.

Tai Zhen Seven Cultivators had already retreated over a thousand feet away. Although they hated Lin Xuan to the core, their faces betrayed their lingering shock.

"Thank you, Supreme Elder for your assistance!"

The seven people awkwardly bowed, their movements chaotic and disorganized, as none of them knew where that savior was now.

Notice: The cultivators present were all at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Yet, they seemed like deaf and blind; despite knowing a powerful figure had arrived, they couldn’t pinpoint his exact location.

Such a scenario would be hard to believe if mentioned elsewhere.

This wasn't just about simple concealment techniques but genuine spatial laws. Otherwise, it wouldn't have fooled so many Tribulation Transcending cultivators.

After all, regardless of their strength, their spiritual awareness was extraordinary.

For Lin Xuan, the pressure was even greater.

Regardless of why his opponent was hiding, not being able to discern his form meant he had already lost a step.

Without finding any trace, did they still need to take action?

Although that peerless powerhouse hadn't made a move yet, it had posed him an insurmountable challenge—whether or not he could solve this problem.

No one believed in Lin Xuan's chances.

Because the question was before everyone.

Though the cultivators knew Rain Mist Business Alliance’s Supreme Elder was a peerless figure, their competitive nature compelled them to try and solve the riddle themselves—to find that peerless powerhouse's whereabouts.

But all efforts were futile. No one could locate where he was; being at a loss for solutions best described the situation. What could Lin Xuan do in such circumstances?

The principle was simple.

Many looked at him with ridicule and pity.

However, had Lin Xuan given up?

No!

Despite his stern expression, there was no trace of fear.

A mere test question wanted to challenge himself? Too presumptuous.

Spatial laws were indeed difficult to break. But that didn't mean it was unsolvable!

Lin Xuan took a deep breath; silver light flashed in his eyes.

Celestial Phoenix Divine Eye!

Though Lin Xuan's current strength couldn’t match the phoenix, he was still at late Tribulation Transcending stage. The Celestial Phoenix Divine Eye had almost ninety percent of the power of the king of all birds.

In his eyes, everything was meaningless.

The Celestial Phoenix Divine Eye could penetrate any illusion and have incredible effects on concealment techniques—no matter how hidden your spatial law might be in the crevices of time and space, it would still be useless.

This peerless powerhouse was indeed formidable. But posing such a test before him was futile.

To be blunt, it was like displaying a large axe at Lu Ban’s door; incredibly foolish.

"Friend, do you wish to continue hiding? Then I’ll have no choice but to offend."

A sigh entered his ears, though he knew the opponent was a peerless powerhouse, Lin Xuan wouldn’t hold back. Bowing down wasn't useful in this world where only the strongest could earn respect.

Before the words left his mouth, Lin Xuan raised his right hand and pointed it at his brow.

As he did so, golden light erupted from the center of his forehead, transforming into a cool little lake with ripples spreading outwards.

Then came an even more unbelievable scene.

The golden water parted to reveal a miniature仙剑 (immortal sword).

Blinding!

This sword was colored in five hues of glass, emitting a mysterious aura.

"Nine Palaces Instantly—break!"

Lin Xuan’s low voice echoed from his mouth.

Before the words left him, silver light burst forth from the thin blade. A dazzling light pierced through the void and vanished into the sky.

The scene caught everyone off guard; they couldn’t understand why Lin Xuan did this.

They didn't believe he could discern where the peerless powerhouse was hiding. Was attacking aimlessly supposed to be useful?

How foolish!

But before that thought could fully form, a light exclamation entered his ears.

Green light suddenly flared up, and an old man in gray robes appeared about a hundred feet in front of Lin Xuan, his face filled with astonishment.

"Can you see my movements?"

The elder’s expression truly showed some surprise.

Though many cultivation techniques had anti-aging effects, his expertise in aura divination could reveal one's true age.

But before this strange youth, it was useless.

Not entirely; he could tell the young man was exceptionally youthful but couldn't determine his exact age.

Such a young cultivator reaching Tribulation Transcending stage was already astonishing. Yet possessing such formidable strength made him even more remarkable.

He couldn’t help but recall the old Arishura.

Apart from the king, this was the most extraordinary person he had ever seen in his life.

The elder began to appraise Lin Xuan with interest: "Indeed, indeed; you are truly impressive. It’s no wonder you have such audacity—breaking Rain Mist Business Alliance's rules without offering an explanation?"

Though the elder spoke kindly, a rebellious aura emanated from him—a quality born of countless years as a superior, able to life and death at will.

Despite appearing non-hostile, it made his opponent feel uncomfortable. Unwaging war, yet subduing the enemy perfectly illustrated its meaning.

If another cultivator were here, they might have submitted.

But Lin Xuan was no ordinary figure; this elder, however formidable, would not make him bow down.

A true man doesn’t easily submit to others.

Peerless powerhouse?

He had seen such figures before.

Lin Xuan raised his head with a smile: "Friend, you jest. I’m not some audacious cultivator and have no intention of opposing your alliance; breaking the rules was due to unavoidable circumstances."

Lin Xuan’s demeanor was gentle and peaceful, like a cool breeze, yet it defied the other's dominance, akin to a small boat in turbulent waters—seemingly at risk but ultimately turning danger into safety.
