第五卷 天云十二州 第九百一十二章 玄天九灵符

Lin Xuan's face changed dramatically as he scrutinized the ghostly object that the Wudi Zhi Wu (Midday Ghost Emperor) was wearing. "Impossible, how could a mere lower realm tooth infant possibly possess a True Heaven Nine Spirit Talisman?"

"True Heaven Nine Spirit Talisman?"

The Midday Ghost Emperor had never heard of it before. This treasure was indeed an inheritance from some remote and desolate valley, but its true name was long forgotten. The monster in front of him recognized the talisman; he must be a spirit realm entity.

Though the ghost emperor harbored some suspicion, now was not the time to investigate further. A spell shot out, causing the True Heaven Nine Spirit Talisman to emit a golden glow and transform into a golden light that blocked the soul fragment's path.

The strange fish body inside the talisman expanded, releasing a storm of spiritual energy that spread in all directions. The sky darkened as nearby spiritual qi was consumed by this tempest.

Lin Xuan was alarmed. Although it wasn't the original True Heaven Nine Spirit Talisman, its power was formidable enough to overwhelm his soul fragment. His body was pulled into the raging spiritual energy.

After releasing the talisman, the Midday Ghost Emperor retreated several miles away to avoid being caught in the backlash. Even from such a distance, his defensive spells continued to emit a constant hum of fear.

This spirit realm divine talisman was indeed no trivial matter. It seemed he could not exaggerate when claiming it could destroy a Separation Period cultivator.

After about a tea-cup's worth of time, the smoke gradually dissipated and the sky cleared, but the ghost's soul fragment had vanished without a trace.

On another side,

Lin Xuan faced a much more formidable spirit entity. He didn't have a True Heaven Nine Spirit Talisman to rely on, so he was engaged in a fierce battle.

Despite this, Lin Xuan's cultivation and secret techniques were formidable. With the assistance of Fairy Peacock, they managed to hold their own against each other, trading blows evenly.

The ghost entity grew furious. Though its essence had been suppressed for some time and it hadn't fully recovered, it couldn't even subdue a mere late-stage Inner Core cultivator; this was too much of an affront to its pride. As the most violent of the Four Fiends of the Spirit Realm, its eyes glinted with malice as a layer of blood-red aura enveloped its body.

This entity was wild and reckless, willing to risk damaging its life essence to kill Lin Xuan here and now.

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed; his battle experience told him what the ghost intended. There was no escape.

The ghost possessed teleportation abilities, so fleeing wasn't an option. The only outcome of normal combat would be mutual destruction.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan became even more determined.

A green jade belt floated out from his sleeve. This ancient-looking item had been obtained from the Jade Profound Sect, but he hadn't used it before because it was limited and could replenish his spent mana when worn around the waist.

Facing the ghost entity, Lin Xuan revealed all his treasures. His left hand held a long spear with spatial abilities, while his right hand grasped an ancient mirror.

The Soul Capturing Mirror couldn't be directly used against enemies but had excellent auxiliary effects. Additionally, the Binding Immortal Ball spun in his chest.

With the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring, the Green Flame Sword, Yin-Yang Silk Fan, and the small phoenix with its ever-changing green flames, along with a large insect cloud above him and a black iron dragon shield for defense, Lin Xuan's surroundings were filled with powerful treasures.

Not only did his two female companions gape in amazement, but even the ghost entity stared wide-eyed. This young man's assets were truly enviable.

After all, magical treasures were rare, and most Inner Core cultivators had just a few precious ancient artifacts. Lin Xuan, however, could casually deploy items that shone brightly, clearly top-grade treasures.

The ghost entity's expression darkened as its murderous intent intensified. No matter how many talismans he possessed, a mere Inner Core cultivator couldn't withstand his powerful secret techniques.

A black blood spurted out and was carried away by the wind. The ghost entity extended a finger, but at that moment, it suddenly let out a loud roar, clutching its head in pain as all the malevolent aura around it dissipated.

"What's this?" Lin Xuan's expression froze for a moment before his eyes sharpened.

In just an instant, several thoughts flashed through his mind. Initially, he suspected the ghost was setting up a trap, feigning weakness to lure him in.

But quickly, Lin Xuan ruled out that possibility; the entity's malevolent aura had indeed weakened rapidly. If it was trying to lure him, it would be too bold.

With unparalleled experience in battle, Lin Xuan made his decision despite not knowing what had happened. Such a good opportunity couldn't be missed, even if there was a trap, he would take the risk.

Entering the tiger's den was necessary. With this resolve, Lin Xuan's spiritual energy surged forth, and his divine consciousness divided into several streams to control each magical treasure.

In battle, having too many treasures wasn't always beneficial; lower-grade items could burden one's divine awareness. Lin Xuan had already gambled everything, as he couldn't command so many treasures without the additional effects of the Azure Sea Purification that enhanced his divine awareness beyond his peers.

But it was extremely strenuous. His mind ached like needles were pricking him. Another cultivator would have given up long ago, but Lin Xuan's willpower was unbreakable as he gritted his teeth and launched frenzied attacks.

Feeling the owner's resolve, the insect cloud transformed into a swarm of bees that buzzed loudly, rushing forward. Following closely were the Green Illusory Fire phoenix, whose wingspan expanded to over ten feet after a brief struggle in the air.
