第四卷 七星岛 第八百二十九章 天罡伏魔阵

This battle cost Lin Xuan quite a few treasures. He decided to put them in his storage bag without hesitation. His gaze then fell on the platform under the ancient demon's body.

However, Lin Xuan dared not use this item. After soul-searching through Tianxiu True Man, he learned that it was brought from the Upper Realm and could only be controlled by true demonic bodies; otherwise, using it would result in a backlash of demonic essence. Moreover, with the thinness of the demon aura in this world, its effectiveness on the platform was limited.

Nevertheless, Lin Xuan did not want to waste these treasures. After some hesitation, he took out an jade box from his pocket and put the platform inside. Then, he stuck several dozen restriction talismans on it!

"Now that we don't need them for now, their value in the future is uncertain," he muttered.

"Master, what should we do with this ancient demon's body?" Mo'er's voice entered his ears.

"This…" Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead and lowered his head to ponder.

To be honest, such a powerful ancient demon's body would have some use. However, Lin Xuan was not willing to take risks. Although the soul of Kala Ancient Demon had vanished, the demonic aura within his body remained thick; even late-stage cultivators' essence cores could be corroded by it. Otherwise, there might still be some use.

Sighing, Lin Xuan summoned his Green Illusory Fire Sword and first circled around, removing one of the ancient demon's arms before hacking and slashing to completely destroy its body.

Back in the days when Kala Ancient Demon was alive, even nine high-stage cultivators could only seal it with their combined efforts. Now that its soul had been destroyed, leaving just an empty shell, Lin Xuan destroying it wasn't a big deal. As for those two arms, Lin Xuan had other plans.

When they were in the Qilin Ancient Cave, the demon's arm was destroyed, and no suitable replacement could be found. Now… "Master, didn't you say that we shouldn't worry about the demonic aura on its body? It won't cause any problems after being possessed by a corpse demon," Mo'er asked.

"Relax, the main source of the demonic aura is in his body. The arms have only a little, so they won't cause significant issues. A corpse demon can easily refine and suppress them." Lin Xuan shook his head confidently. "Moreover, once these two demonic arms are attached, the corpse demon's abilities will increase significantly."

With that said, he flicked his left hand, and the Green Illusory Fire Sword flew out, incinerating the ancient demon's remains into ash.

After completing this task, Lin Xuan's green light flared as he flew back along the same path.

Not long after, he arrived at the location where Yuanke and Yueyan had joined forces. The corpse demon lay on its back with a hole about the size of a bowl in its chest. It appeared to have already perished, but Lin Xuan knew it was merely severely injured.

A spell was cast, and the lizard was stored in his Spirit Ghost Bag before he flew off in another direction.

Unlike the previous confusion, Lin Xuan had learned from soul-searching how to leave this sealed space using the techniques of Tianxiu True Man. It didn't take long; half an hour later, he arrived at a hidden cave. Although it was called a cave, its area was vast, covering thousands of feet.

"Master, do you have any confidence in breaking that Heaven罡伏魔阵?" Mo'er asked with concern.

Of course not," Lin Xuan shook his head.

"What should we do then?"

The young girl's face was filled with anxiety. "It doesn't matter; worrying won't solve the problem. Let's go and see, and think of a solution later." Lin Xuan seemed very relaxed. If all else failed, he would have to cultivate here.

As he spoke, he entered the cave and stopped his light travel. Flying in here was like asking for trouble; Lin Xuan didn't want to trigger any restrictions. Inside the cave, some huge stones were scattered about.

However, the most prominent were nine columns with a diameter of ten feet each, carved from an unknown type of white jade, emitting a faint glow. A pale white light screen appeared before his eyes. Could this be the Heaven罡伏魔阵? In the center of the light screen was a triangular platform, and on top of it lay a teleportation array.

Clearly, to enter, one must first break through this light screen. Through soul-searching, Lin Xuan knew that even with Kala Ancient Demon's incredible abilities, breaking it wasn't easy. Lin Xuan frowned, pondered for a while, and decided to give it a try.

He stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers, releasing several sword qi that grew in size like a storm, forming a giant sword over seven feet long. He slashed forward with them.

It was as if the mud cow had entered the sea; no waves were stirred.

Lin Xuan's expression changed. Although he didn't use all of his strength, this attack was merely a test, and its power was formidable. Even condensation core late-stage cultivators wouldn't dare to withstand it. The light screen showed no reaction at all, making the defense seem too powerful.

Even if he used all his treasures, they might not be much help.

However, Lin Xuan would not give up so easily. His character was inherently tenacious; otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved such strength and power now.

What's difficult?

One step at a time, there must be a way to overcome it.

With bare hands ineffective, Lin Xuan summoned his Green Illusory Fire Sword and then spat out a flame line onto the blade. The Green Illusory Fire Sword merged with this treasure, making its power far greater than simply adding them together. Lin Xuan poured in his mana without hesitation. With a sharp command, "Quickly!" he pointed at the sword.

The divine sword transformed into a streak of light and slashed forward. This attack's power was far beyond the previous test.

The pale white light screen seemed to react; inside, the demon aura surged, forming a massive fist that fiercely clashed with the Green Illusory Fire Sword. A爆裂声 filled his ears as the Green Illusory Fire Sword was forcefully sent back.

Dark clouds gathered between Lin Xuan's brows as he exhaled heavily. The Heaven罡伏魔阵's counterattack seemed to be even more powerful than the ancient demon's abilities.

Lin Xuan fell silent, realizing that with his current cultivation, it would be impossible to break this ancient restriction. "It must have been set by an old monster of the Separation Stage!"

Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. The situation was more complex than he had imagined. Even if he were a newly initiated cultivator, let alone advancing two stages to late-stage essence core, it might not work.

"Master, what should we do?" Mo'er also realized the severity of the situation: "We can't force our way through; could we use knowledge of array techniques to break this annoying restriction?"

Lin Xuan shook his head. The girl's idea was too naive. Array technique knowledge? Over the years, he had indeed delved into the璇玑心得, but even though the璇玑散人was a prodigy, he was only a condensation core stage cultivator; how could he break an ancient restriction set by a Separation Stage old monster?

It seemed that after leaving, he needed to collect higher-level array technique books. Lin Xuan sighed, but this problem before him was indeed challenging.
