第三千七百八十九章 深谷杀机

Thus, the precious snake and Lin Xuan both plunged into the deep valley shrouded in dense fog.

The mist before them seemed to conceal something strange; as soon as their divine senses left their bodies, they were completely absorbed by it.

With this thick fog, the precious snake could barely make out anything, let alone locate where Lin Xuan was.

"Where am I..."

Such a sudden change alarmed the precious snake. Its flight slowed down considerably. The young man was known for his cunning and tricks; he wouldn't be seriously injured even if he fell into the valley.

The terrain here was perfect for an ambush. She had to be cautious.

Just as this thought crossed her mind, another problem arose that troubled the precious snake. If she slowed down her search, could Lin Xuan use the terrain to escape?

She found herself in a dilemma. But soon, a determined and vicious light flashed in her eyes.

A petty man is not a gentleman; without poison, one cannot be a true hero. A timid demon lord? Even if that young man tried to ambush me, would he really hurt me?

No matter what, she couldn't let him escape unscathed.

With these thoughts, the precious snake's body was enveloped in demonic light as it accelerated downwards.

She wasn’t just a mindless cultivator; a crack appeared on her forehead. A silver-white eye without pupils emerged from it.

The Serpent’s Eye of Yin!

Renowned throughout the Three Realms.

This was the precious snake’s secret technique, though not as powerful as Lin Xuan's Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes, it still had the ability to penetrate illusions and see far distances.

Even with this fog, its vision was much better than her divine sense, allowing her to see for a thousand feet. Beyond that, everything became blurry.

With these limitations, she could still roughly locate Lin Xuan’s whereabouts.

As the precious snake descended into the valley, it searched around. In just a few moments, it found nothing.

Her expression darkened. Had that young man truly fled without fighting?

Before this thought was fully formed, she felt a slight disturbance in the air behind her.

Despite its subtlety, as a true demon lord with extensive combat experience, she immediately noticed something amiss and turned to see a silver streak silently approaching from behind, aiming for her heart.

Nine Palaces Instantly!

The precious snake instantly recognized this as one of Lin Xuan’s most trusted treasures.

It arrived like lightning.

Her pupils constricted; despite the shock, she remained calm. She raised her right hand, reaching out to grab the Nine Palaces Sword.

Indeed, with bare hands, a layer of purple-red scales appeared on her fingers and palm.

Sizzle!

Although the sword’s light was swift, the precious snake moved like a python hunting its prey, seizing it in one fell swoop.

Boom!

But when she squeezed it lightly, the sword’s light shattered into tiny silver sparks that dissipated into the fog.

"What..."

The precious snake was stunned. Her face changed dramatically as she realized this was a feint to draw her attention away.

Before she could fully process this, a piercing sound echoed through the air.

She raised her head and followed the sound, only to be surprised by nine mountains of varying sizes surrounding her in a tight circle.

Each mountain was lush and vibrant with life, their beauty breathtaking. But they radiated boundless sword intent, as if encompassing all of existence.

"Is this..."

The precious snake felt familiar, but she couldn’t recall what these were at the moment.

Suddenly, divine light erupted from the surfaces of those mountains, surging with overwhelming法则 forces that collapsed and fell into the void.

But this was not the most terrifying part.

Mysterious celestial sounds emerged, like the ringing of a great bell. Wherever they passed, even the primordial energy of heaven and earth yielded. Columns of light shot out from the peaks in various colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

These columns swirled slowly, forming colorful light halos that radiated auspiciousness before transforming into numerous divine swords.

Each sword was unique in shape and size but terrifyingly powerful, exuding the essence of Dao and flowing with awe-inspiring rule forces.

"Divine Sword Diagram!"

The precious snake’s pupils constricted as she finally recognized what this was.

But it was too late; countless sword lights enveloped her from all sides.

Facing such an imposing先天灵宝, even the precious snake couldn’t help but feel a surge of power.

With a wave of her hands, a spell was cast. A transparent light barrier, about a yard in diameter, enveloped her body.

Would a先天灵宝 fare better against a domain?

No one knew for sure, but it didn’t matter as hissing sounds filled the air. Countless sword lights collided with the barrier.

Like a mud cow entering the sea, they made no waves; upon contact, the sword lights were mysteriously absorbed by the barrier.

The domain was indeed formidable.

But the advantage of the Divine Sword Diagram was obvious… its sheer quantity.

As one wave of swords was absorbed, another followed endlessly.

The precious snake’s expression turned grim but she wasn’t in a hurry.

A domain consumed power; so did the Divine Sword Diagram. She would see who could endure longer.

Before this thought could fully form, a sudden change occurred. The Nine Palaces Sword that had dissipated into silver light reappeared.

Lin Xuan knew the technique to make sword spirits virtual, and his innate treasure was not afraid of destruction.

All the divine swords shot towards the same direction, converging into an enormous sword over a hundred feet long before shrinking back down to normal size.

The surface was covered with intricate patterns that formed layer upon layer, totaling eighty-one layers, each changing as it turned, exuding mystery and profundity.

Then Lin Xuan appeared, grabbing this treasure without hesitation. He opened his mouth and spat out Illusory Heaven Fire, fusing it with the sword blade. With a surge of power, he slashed down fiercely.

Sizzle!

The void was cut open.

A sharp light emerged as nearby primordial energy trembled and rushed into the center. A massive vortex over a hundred feet in diameter formed, spewing out a crescent-shaped light blade that extended ten feet but compressed during flight, becoming no more than three feet long, dense and tangible. The precious snake’s face showed genuine fear for the first time as she raised her hand to cast a secret technique...
