第四千一百六十九章 大意轻敌

Lin Xuan's face was as gloomy as a rainy day. Such an unexpected turn of events had caught him off guard. He had anticipated that the True Immortal would arrive at the last moment, even preparing to face formidable opponents like Tianxiang.

However, human calculations were no match for divine will; the unexpected enemies who arrived were not True Immortals.

But Lin Xuan dared not underestimate them. The Malevolent Void Ancestor was a figure with a fearsome reputation that had spread far and wide over millions of years. He had once boldly challenged the Arhat King, indicating his formidable strength. Although Lin Xuan hadn't encountered him before, he had seen him display his power in the basin and could tell from their recent encounter that this opponent was no pushover. To call them a strong enemy was not an exaggeration.

In short, they were hard to deal with.

As for the Heavenly Witch Goddess, there was no need to say more about her.

To be honest, Lin Xuan felt a bit intimidated just looking at her. The power of the Black Moon Heavenly Witch Technique was well known to him. The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was something she also possessed in full, and she used it with greater proficiency than he did. Now that she had transformed into an Exiled Heaven Demon, her divine arts and secret techniques were even more mysterious.

Lin Xuan could not afford the slightest carelessness or underestimation.

As for the Cloud Fairy...

Lin Xuan looked at this woman with anger on his face. She had just shown friendliness to him recently, but now she was acting like this. This woman was too fickle and unpredictable!

Rotten!

Did she think he could be toyed with?

Lin Xuan inwardly seethed as he would not hold back against Qin Yan if they met in battle.

Before these thoughts fully formed, a harsh cackling voice rang out: "Little guy, hand over the Nine Heavens Respiration Soil. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences."

The Malevolent Void Ancestor's voice was extremely uncomfortable to hear, with an underlying tone of arrogance. Perhaps from being accustomed to giving orders, he did not even regard Lin Xuan.

No... Not just Lin Xuan; in his eyes, most of the powerful beings across three thousand worlds were as insignificant as chickens and dogs.

But how strong could he be if Lin Xuan was unwilling to take him seriously? He chose to remain silent rather than waste words.

"Very well, very well. Little guy, you have a big enough胆."

Seeing that Lin Xuan ignored his threat, the Malevolent Void Ancestor felt uncomfortable as well. A look of sharpness flashed in his eyes before he immediately struck out.

He raised his right hand and swiped at the void. As he did so, a spatial rift appeared. This was not unusual for their level; breaking through space was just a basic ability.

But Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as dense black fog emerged from the hundred-foot-long rift. It coalesced into inch-long centipedes.

These centipedes were not only pitch-black and shiny, but they also had several pairs of wings on their backs. Their bodies were hazy and indistinct, almost like they weren't实体.

"Go!"

The Malevolent Void Ancestor's face showed a fierce expression as he pointed at the demonic insects. A buzzing sound erupted as thousands of flying centipedes transformed into a black cloud that rushed towards Lin Xuan with great force.

The scene was breathtaking in its intensity.

Meanwhile, the Malevolent Void Ancestor's figure became hazy and flew above Lin Xuan. He spread his hands wide and several magical treasures shot out from his body—long swords, large axes, meteor hammers, wolf fangs...

There were eight of them, all heavy weapons.

They circled him slowly, emitting sword and blade energy that virtually slashed at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan sighed. He knew the True Immortal's intentions were not good. Initially, he had no intention of clashing with other powerful beings across three thousand worlds, but what could he do in this situation?

No choice!

He couldn't hand over the Nine Heavens Respiration Soil.

Various thoughts raced through his mind as Lin Xuan did not hesitate to act. He flicked his sleeves and a simple-looking shield appeared, inflating with the wind until it easily blocked those sword and blade energies.

Then the light dimmed, revealing the true form of the Azure Turtle Dragon Armor Shield—a primordial object indeed, offering astonishing defense.

However, Lin Xuan's crisis was far from over. The black cloud of insects had already fiercely pounced on him.

These demonic insects, though illusions, should not be underestimated.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, but he did not summon any treasures and instead let out a loud shout. Water-like ripples appeared at the center of his brows, initially unremarkable but quickly becoming like a storm.

Soul Projection!

At their level, soul projection wasn't just for probing; it could transform into anything, attacking or defending as needed. This was Lin Xuan's strength—how could he not make full use of it?

With a piercing scream, the hurricane collided with the insect cloud.

One-sided battle!

Almost the moment they touched, those flying centipedes were shredded to pieces.

One for one, tofu meets salt water. It wasn't that the Malevolent Void Ancestor's secret technique was weak; he had just stumbled upon an opportunity where his soul projection could counter it. Lin Xuan was taken aback but did not miss such a good chance.

He sucked in a breath and the hurricane continued to roll towards the opponent.

Lin Xuan wasn't just ambushing; he also lured them into this trap. While his divine arts and treasures were formidable, he had the most confidence in his soul projection. Even if it was the Malevolent Void Ancestor or Tianxiang himself, Lin Xuan believed such tactics could give him a significant advantage.

Sure enough, the Malevolent Void Ancestor did not overthink. Seeing that Lin Xuan had ambushed with his soul projection, he flashed an angry look and released his own soul projection without hesitation.

This guy was very proud.

And it seemed intentional or unintentional, his soul projection also took on a hurricane shape, similar to Lin Xuan's but black.

Boom!

The two soul projections collided with a thunderous sound that shook the entire space.

The hard-hitting impact made Lin Xuan smile. The opponent was indeed formidable, but in terms of soul projection, he was still slightly weaker than Lin Xuan.

After several collisions, the Malevolent Void Ancestor fell behind while Lin Xuan had not used his full strength so far.

In terms of soul projection alone, he was far superior to other peers. Saying he stood out like a crane among chickens wasn't an exaggeration.

The Malevolent Void Ancestor realized he had been tricked. Although he was a proud person, he wasn't stupid and wouldn't continue fighting with Lin Xuan.

Those who know when to yield are wise. Even though he was surprised by how powerful Lin Xuan's soul projection was, there was no time for further investigation now.

He hurriedly tried to retract his soul projection but it wasn't that easy. Lin Xuan wasn't foolish; he wouldn't let him go so easily. Only half of the original soul projection had been used and now he exerted all his strength, pressing the void with a hazy appearance.
