第四千二百一十四章 田襄的杀手锏

The two men narrowed their eyes, sizing each other up intently.

Although no physical combat had begun, the atmosphere was tense to the point of imminent conflict.

Tian Xiang quickly noticed something amiss. After all, a sudden drop in cultivation level couldn't be easily deceived by others.

"I don’t know what has happened to you, but attempting to defeat me with external forces is sheer foolishness," Tian Xiang's voice was icy cold, subtly exuding a chilling aura of intent.

As soon as he spoke, the other man made his move. He flicked his sleeves, and the Ten Thousand Volumes Heaven Book appeared above him. The pages opened up, revealing countless rune-like symbols floating out from within.

A flash of light later, these runes converged in the middle, and a thunderous sound echoed through the air as a colossal figure materialized before their eyes.

More imposing than even a mountain, it was so large that one couldn’t see its edges. At first glance, it resembled a turtle, but it had the head of a dragon. The aura emanating from it was incredibly powerful; true dragons and celestial phoenixes seemed insignificant in comparison.

What kind of monster is this?

Lin Xuan was momentarily taken aback.

But there wasn't time to dwell on it as his opponent charged forward aggressively without any hesitation. This time, Tian Xiang went straight for the kill. After all, Lin Xuan had changed so much over these three years; he couldn’t afford to hold back. If Lin Xuan pulled out another trick, it would be difficult to handle.

Time was of the essence, and there wasn't a moment to waste. He must act decisively and eliminate this threat here and now. His opponent wanted a quick resolution, but so did Lin Xuan. After all, his secret technique had a time limit, so he didn’t retreat. A blinding green light enveloped him as countless green sword qi shot out from his body.

The brilliance of crystal… no, not sword qi; these were actual flying swords hovering in the air, numbering over eighty-one.

To be precise, nine by nine, there should have been this many with full cultivation, but Lin Xuan’s finances limited him to a simplified version. Although he could use the Sword Shadow Splitting Technique, the hundreds of simulated sword qi couldn’t match true immortal swords.

But in these three years, he hadn't been idle. He spent two years perfecting the technique and the remaining year learning from others. The greatest收获 wasn’t the secret technique but the completion of this full version of Nine Palaces Instantaneous Movement.

The effort was mostly by the Heavenly Witch Immortal Maiden, with significant assistance from the others.

Sure enough, it proved useful now. Not only did it serve as a surprise attack, but its power was incomparable to the simplified version.

The纵横捭阖of sword light was real, not just virtual sword qi. Lin Xuan’s hands moved swiftly, true spirit shadows emerging from his head and merging into the sword qi… no, they were actually immortal swords.

"Quickly!"

Lin Xuan pointed a finger.

Instantly, the sword light blurred, and the true spirit shadows became more distinct, turning into实体.

One by one, vivid true spirits appeared in their vision. Each emitted an extraordinary aura that rivaled or even surpassed real true spirits. This sounded exaggerated but wasn’t far from the truth. After all, Lin Xuan’s current strength was comparable to Tian Xiang's, and his True Spirit Sword Technique naturally improved accordingly.

Dragon roars and phoenix cries echoed as these formed true spirits charged forward fearlessly toward the monster before them. The true dragon led the charge, its claws slicing through space, creating a cascade of force that shattered the void and rushed at the opponent.

The phoenix didn’t hold back either. Its wings flapped, revealing countless crescent-shaped light blades… but wait, these weren’t crescents; they were spatial rifts, some even forming vortexes, all raining down on the monster.

With them leading the charge, the other true spirits didn’t hesitate. The peacock’s feathers fluttered, releasing a flood of multi-colored lights that transformed into a shower of arrows…

The phoenix's cries echoed like those of the red bird, its wings flapping to release waves of terrifying flames. The lotus fire was devastating, capable of burning down anything in existence.

The roar of the mountain giant ape filled the air as it pounded its chest, emitting golden light and countless golden fist shadows carrying force laws that surged forward.

Each true spirit used their signature techniques, their innate divine powers incredibly powerful.

If anyone else were to face Tian Xiang under similar circumstances, they would likely be easily crushed in a single exchange. However, the monstrous figure before them defied conventional logic.

"Ahhh!"

Its voice sounded like a dragon’s roar but was deeper and more primitive, filled with the aura of ancient times, as if it had been there since time immemorial.

"What is this…?"

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, an uneasy feeling arising in his heart.

But now wasn't the time to hesitate. With one last burst of energy, the immortal swords transformed into true spirits and charged forward without retreating.

Boom!

All attacks rained down like a storm—claws, light beams, fists, flames—all hitting at once.

Logically, even Tian Xiang would have been wary against such a relentless assault. Direct confrontation was foolish; one had to defend fully.

But what unfolded before their eyes was different. The monstrous figure didn’t retreat or shield itself. With nine heads, it opened its maw and emitted massive light beams over ten feet in diameter.

They swept across the battlefield with immense energy. Even true dragons were hit hard, losing half of their heads. The other true spirits fared worse; countless fell in a single exchange. As for the true spirit attacks, they barely made an impact on this monster, whose skin was so thick it was almost laughable.

It’s too strong!

This wasn’t one of the secret techniques from the Ten Thousand Volumes Heaven Book. Could it be…

Lin Xuan’s face darkened as he realized his initial attack had failed. The energy expenditure for reviving fallen true spirits was significant, but Tian Xiang seemed unfazed.

Could this be a hidden trump card?

"Foolish creature! Do you think your sudden increase in power can match me? What do you think of my spirit beast now?"

"Their strength is comparable to mine. I want to see if you have the skill to face us two on one."

Tian Xiang’s laughter echoed as he recited obscure incantations, forming hand seals and conjuring more magical symbols around him. (To be continued…)
