第四千零八十六章 神秘的宝物

Almost simultaneously, a few dozen feet in front of Lin Xuan, the earth spirit stumbled into view. Its face was filled with panic as it had just been so easily dispelled by its own life-preserving technique.

But before she could stabilize her form, a cold snort sounded from behind. She turned around in shock and saw golden light erupting, revealing a mysterious figure with nineteen heads and eighteen arms behind her.

Each head displayed different expressions—joy, anger, sorrow, happiness…

Mouths opened to emit various colored beams of light.

These beams had vastly different properties: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, the five elements intermingling…

They rushed towards her like a storm.

This was not yet over. The eighteen arms were wildly flailing about. Each hand held a treasure.

Swords, spears, halberds, and bows—eighteen types of weaponry were represented.

Like a fierce wind, they struck at her.

The momentum was indescribable. Despite knowing the dire situation, the earth spirit could barely move as if weighed down by thousands of pounds.

This… is gravitation!

In an instant, it condensed the void to bind its enemy.

With a face full of terror, various attacks enveloped her. The sound of thunder filled her ears as she was helplessly ensnared in the storm’s vortex.

Lin Xuan showed no mercy for his enemies. He unleashed all manner of laws with the aim of thoroughly maiming her.

Seeing that she couldn’t escape, Lin Xuan flicked his wrist and summoned the Nine Palace Momentary Sword again, thin as a cicada's wing. Various laws intertwined on its blade.

With a swift motion, he swung it downward.

Silent and nimble, yet an imposing aura of sword energy emerged, obscuring the sky with its might.

It rushed at her like a whirlwind but quickly vanished, all the sword energies compressed into a slender crystal thread.

In an instant…

A sea of blood rained down.

Lin Xuan had timed his move perfectly. The earth spirit's body was split in two.

Even its yuan婴 (spirit core) was divided.

"You…"

Her eyes were filled with venom and fear.

But what did that matter? Her consciousness soon vanished, her soul shattered.

From the moment Lin Xuan acted until he completely annihilated this top-tier powerhouse of the Xuan Shi realm, it took less than a meal's time.

It wasn't an exaggeration to call it lightning-fast. This was not because Lin Xuan was exceptionally powerful; after all, the earth spirit was one of the five top-tier powerhouses in the Xuan Shi realm. Their treasures and techniques far exceeded what had just been revealed.

She underestimated her opponent too much, and Lin Xuan's move was both mysterious and decisive. Caught off guard, she was easily defeated.

If they had faced each other normally, even with all his might, Lin Xuan would likely have won but at a great cost.

One thousand enemies killed, eight hundred of himself.

Lin Xuan could not possibly win as cleanly as now without some sacrifice.

But in the world of cultivation, there were no "ifs."

Victory was victory.

With a wave of his sleeve, a streak of greenish light emerged and snatched her storage bag.

How much more humiliating did she have to die?

Considering her formidable strength, the treasures inside this storage bag were worth investigating.

Lin Xuan was about to release his divine sense when thunderous sounds echoed. The scene before him blurred as that strange spatial realm began to collapse with its master's demise.

Soon it vanished.

Lin Xuan returned to the Qing Qiu realm.

"Eh, Third Brother, so fast?" Familiar teasing sounded in his ears as he turned around and saw Dailong True Man waving at him.

Yutong Fairy also stood beside him, her expression filled with shock.

Lin Xuan's demeanor was similar.

His elder brother and Yutong Fairy were here, leisurely and unconcerned, proving they had defeated a formidable opponent. This speed was outrageous!

He had won against the earth spirit through surprise and good fortune, but these two…

Yutong Fairy, as the top powerhouse of the Spirit Realm, her strength was unfathomable. That made sense, but his elder brother…

Opponent wasn't an ordinary existence; he too was a top-tier powerhouse in another realm.

Lin Xuan found Dailong True Man increasingly inscrutable.

But one thing was certain: his power far exceeded his reputation and could match even a scattered immortal demon king.

"Where are the Great Whale King and Broad Cold Daoist Friend?"

"They haven't finished their battle yet. But don’t worry, in a one-on-one fight, several of the guys from the Broad Cold realm won’t be able to handle them. We needn’t rush; just wait."

Yutong Fairy's voice was soft as she spoke.

"Alright."

Lin Xuan had no objections and sat cross-legged, taking out the earth spirit’s storage bag to see what treasures it contained.

He released his divine sense.

Sure enough, there were countless rare treasures inside. Bottles and jars held many elixirs and medicines he hadn’t heard of before—since they came from different realms.

Whether these elixirs would work on him was uncertain, but even if not, they could be exchanged for other treasures.

There were also numerous high-grade materials and talismans.

"Hey, what’s this?"

Lin Xuan suddenly found something in her storage bag. He took it out with a slight movement of his face.

It was a box made of pure silver, no more than half a foot tall. Among the many treasures, it wasn’t remarkable. However, Lin Xuan noticed several mysterious talismans attached to its surface.

They were divine talismans from the Divine Realm—no mistake about that.

What could be inside?

Lin Xuan was greatly intrigued.

He didn't act stealthily; his elder brother was no stranger. Yutong Fairy might not know him well, but her demeanor wouldn’t allow her to covet his treasures.

Why assume the worst? So Lin Xuan was straightforward.

Sure enough, Lin Xuan's discernment paid off. Dailong and Yutong Fairy were also drawn in as they slowly approached.

Lin Xuan waved his hands, casting spells. The divine talismans might be powerful, but without a master, how could they pose any challenge?

Soon, the sound of a box opening filled his ears. However, instead of treasures, another box appeared with more mysterious talismans attached to it.

Lin Xuan was speechless but didn't give up. He continued using secret techniques and quickly opened this box as well.

But what he saw inside wasn’t treasure; it was yet another smaller box. (To be continued...)
