第四千一百八十九章 作茧自缚

A flash of light appeared, and themystic turtle dragon armor shield emerged. The sound of a dragon's roar echoed as it transformed into a layer of thick light, with faint images of the black turtle and true dragons swirling around.

At this level, Lin Xuan’s strength was sufficient to fully unleash the power of hisprimordial divine treasure. He did not hesitate in utilizing all its capabilities under the boost of his ownmagical power, performing at an extraordinary level.

However, facing such a formidable attack, Lin Xuan could not rely solely on one form of defense. As he deployed this shield, his sleeves fluttered, and numerous talismans flew out like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden, forming various defensive light barriers.

These served as the first layer of protection. Meanwhile, the armor he wore emitted a strong aura, with several true spirit shadows appearing, intertwining with denserune that also swirled around him.

The entire process was swift; Lin Xuan set up his defenses at an incredible speed. Each form of defense—whether it be a magical treasure or secret technique—was no ordinary item, and their power was beyond doubt. They should have been able to withstand any attack in the world.

However, Tian Xiang defied logic. A dazzling light streaked towards him almost instantaneously.

"Explosion!"

Tian Xiang clenched his hands and shouted coldly as he spoke. The moment he finished, the speed of the starlight slowed down while its size rapidly expanded before exploding.

The sky collapsed, and a radiant sun rose in mid-air. Countless light threads shot out from its surface, shattering colorful light curtains wherever they passed, melting ice and snow. Even the transformed light curtain of themystic turtle dragon armor shield could not escape this fate, trembling violently until it was on the verge of collapse.

These light threads continued to pour forth without stopping, seemingly endless. Initially, they were pure golden in color. Later, they became bizarrely colorful, with a kaleidoscope of hues swirling continuously. Each color contained differentlaw or principle之力.

Some were singular, while others mixed multiple laws together, making even the strongest defenses ineffective. Themystic turtle dragon armor shield groaned as it was reduced to its original form, its surface losing all its luster.

Although this treasure was not completely destroyed, the remaining spiritual energy was minimal.

Lin Xuan’s situation became perilous. The multi-colored light threads enveloped him from all sides with no gaps left.

His expression turned grim as a spell shot out from his fingertips. Dragon and phoenix sounds echoed as true spirit shadows around his body grew larger, roaring to break free in every direction.

A counterattack!

Lin Xuan’s plan might have been sound, but the sheer number of multi-colored light threads and their terrifying power proved too much. Not only did none of the true spirits manage to escape, they seemed like moths drawn to a flame, all perishing swiftly.

In the end, only the vacuum light barrier composed of sound waves remained.

Popping sounds filled his ears as the countless light threads struck it, instantly creating colorful explosions. The surrounding primordial energy surged towards this area.

The vacuum shield flickered several times before finally collapsing like an air bubble into nothingness.

With all defenses broken, Lin Xuan’s carefully laid plans were in vain. He was now completely exposed to the relentless onslaught of multi-colored light threads. His face darkened as if a storm was brewing.

What should he do?

Time was short. Without hesitation, Lin Xuan gathered his body into a ball and closed his hand. Crackling sounds echoed as the true spirit armor transformed. The armor extended, fully enveloping his entire form. As spiritual energy surrounded him, the armor thickened, transforming him into a giant cocoon.

Indeed, it was a cocoon!

This transformation happened in an instant. However, Tian Xiang’s multi-colored light threads had already shot past. Instead of piercing the cocoon, they attached to it like silkworms spinning silk.

"This method of defense is sheer suicide!"

Tian Xiang’s cold laughter echoed, filled with smug satisfaction. Both Lin Xuan and Heavenly Witch Goddess transformed into cocoons as well. Given their shared knowledge, both used similar defensive tactics. When all defenses were broken, the goddess also transformed into a cocoon, though hers was black.

Both were now enveloped by countless light threads, trapped in their own self-made silks.

The phrase "self-inflicted entrapment" perfectly described their situation, but they could not be blamed for it; the circumstances were too dire to allow time for strategic thinking.

Fortunately, there were more than just two of them. Roaring sounds filled his ears as three-headed dragons flew over. The others did not watch passively; these were attacks released by Nai Long. Others joined in: Yue Er, Xiao Die, Peacock, and the Nine Heavens Divine Maiden all unleashed their signature attacks.

Yue Er’s strength was weakest, but she controlled a powerful ghost demon that attacked Tian Xiang with self-destructive blasts. Meanwhile, Yuan Yuan raised her head, emitting a clear sound from her throat. With a gentle wave of her hand, "pfft," a giant claw the size of an acre emerged from mid-air and lunged at Tian Xiang.

Xiao Die performed graceful dances as countless golden butterfly shadows spread out from her body. Wherever these butterflies passed, faint pink light fell like pollen, causing young women to age prematurely—timelaw or principle!

The Nine Heavens Divine Maiden plucked a phoenix hairpin from her head, blew on it, and the hairpin emitted a strong aura that transformed into a delicate flower basket.

Beautifully crafted, the flowers inside were stunning. If Lin Xuan had not been cocooned, he would have recognized this item as familiar. However, there was no time to think; the Nine Heavens Divine Maiden gently cast the flower basket down. It fell about six or seven zhang before re-forming into a cloud of white vapor.

Mystical and enchanting, it seemed like an extraordinary treasure from a fairy palace. But what did this mean? Everyone found it curious but could not decipher its true nature. However, one thing was certain: this flower basket was undoubtedly a rare treasure from a fairy’s abode, far beyond ordinary divine treasures. (To be continued…)
