I Saw the Endgame of This World in the Mysteries of the Cave Heaven

Chen Lingxi finished speaking!

The Twenty-Four Mystic Pearl pierced through the Void, heading straight for Xi Yuan!

The twenty-four Mystic Pearl transformed into twenty-four pale golden streams of light, each containing pure spiritual energy and trailing long tails, like twenty-four stars fallen to earth, crashing headlong into Xi Yuan's majestic Longevity Bridge!

Runes danced across the bridge, radiating intense spiritual light.

The runes, layer upon layer, seemed to flow across the bridge like living things, emitting a deep and powerful light.

The Mystic Pearl collided with the bridge, leaving fine cracks on the Longevity Bridge!

This clearly demonstrates the formidable power of the Prefect Lord's Demon-Breaking Twenty-Four Mystic Pearls!

But the Longevity Bridge is still just the Longevity Bridge.

Driven by Xi Yuanxing's cultivation at the eighth level of Qi, the spiritual bridge became like a real stone dragon. The cracks on the bridge were constantly being healed by the surging spiritual light. Before the old cracks had completely disappeared, new cracks were blasted open by the Xuanzhu, and so on, back and forth.

But just then, during this tug-of-war!

Lin Suri behind Xi Yuan had already activated his spiritual energy again and was attacking Xi Yuan.

Although the Fierce Tiger Token at his waist had dimmed, it still shimmered with golden light.

The golden light was not particularly intense, like a flickering lamp that was about to go out, yet it possessed a tenacious and indomitable spirit.

Golden light spread from the token to his entire body, outlining the silhouette of the divine general's phantom behind him.

The illusory figure was as thin as paper, its features indistinct, with only a pair of majestic eyes slowly opening in the golden light. The illusory figure raised its hands and pressed them lightly in the Void!

A golden barrier descended upon Xi Yuan like a net from heaven.

The barrier, layer upon layer, resembled a city wall cast in pure gold. Wherever it passed, the air was compressed into visible white rings, emitting a muffled, thunderous hum.

Exhausted from his defenses, Xi Yuan frowned, then let out a cold snort!

"Court death!"

A cold glint flashed in Xi Yuan's eyes.

At that moment, Xi Yuan unleashed a talisman.

The talisman was only about an inch square, with a dark yellow color and intricate patterns outlined on it in some kind of dark red ink.

The patterns were layered upon each other, each emitting a faint, blood-red glow, like countless tiny blood snakes slowly crawling across the talisman.

The talisman ignited spontaneously without wind the moment it left his hand.

Amidst the firelight, a phantom slowly materialized.

The illusory figure was slender and tall, with black hair like clouds, and its face was blurred in the spiritual light and could not be clearly seen.

All that could be seen was the phantom raising its right hand and striking towards Chen Lingxi and Lin Suri.

Chen Lingxi's eyes narrowed!

It's yet another [Xi Yu Talisman]!

Xi Yuan is also a member of the Quexing Xi Family.

However, in this Cave Heaven, he was from the Feng Mountain Xi Family, and was not with Xi Yu.

However Xi Yu's memories returned, and she gave Xi Mu a talisman, and naturally, she also gave Xi Yuan one.

Today, Xi Yuan used this Xi Yu Talisman!

Within the illusory image of the talisman, Xi Yu unleashed a palm strike.

That palm struck out from the phantom, and as soon as the palm's power was unleashed, the world changed color!

The spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred feet was completely drained by this palm strike, the air became stagnant as iron, and the starlight dimmed.

This palm strike landed on Lin Suri's golden light, instantly swallowing it up!

It is truly terrifying and extraordinary.

When Xi Yu inscribed this talisman, he was only at the Qi Circulation Eighth Floor cultivation.

Even so, this palm strike was far more powerful than Xi Yuan's Longevity Bridge Divine Ability.

The power contained within that palm strike had surpassed the scope of the Qi Circulation Eighth Floor, faintly touching upon an even higher realm.

Lin Suri's expression changed drastically.

He reacted almost the instant the talisman lit up, the two golden flames in his eyes suddenly blazing brightly, and the Six-Qi True Method was circulated to its limit within his body.

The Spirit Pool in his Qi Sea surged like boiling water, and he unleashed the last of his spiritual energy without reservation.

He activated the Fierce Tiger Token at his waist to the last moment, and the fine cracks on the token widened further, with golden light leaking out from the cracks, just like a piece of porcelain about to shatter.

The phantom of the divine general behind him suddenly solidified, and the phantom extended both hands, clasping them together in front of him!

A massive, golden barrier appeared out of thin air.

The barrier, layer upon layer, was like a city wall cast in pure gold, protecting him entirely in the center.

Countless fine runes flowed across the surface of the golden barrier, each rune emitting a faint, yet powerful, roaring sound.

That voice possessed an awe-inspiring and unassailable majesty.

At the same time, he drew his jade sword from its sheath in his right hand.

On the Two-Foot Jade Sword sword, the phantom of a crane flapped its wings as if about to take flight, and three streams of Treasure Qi shone brightly— the purple qi was sharp, the Azure Qi was continuous, and the Dark Qi was heavy.

The three colors intertwined, transforming into a sword aura about ten feet long. The sword aura was even more condensed than before, with every inch having been compressed hundreds of times, and every ray of light containing Lin Suri's complete understanding of the way of the sword.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, slashing his sword at the palm strike.

boom--

The moment the sword energy collided with the palm energy, a terrifying sound wave, powerful enough to tear eardrums, exploded out!

Lin Suri's three-colored sword energy shattered in less than half a breath before Xi Yu energy.

The radiance of the three Treasure Qi dimmed simultaneously, like three candles extinguished by a gale.

The force of his palm strike remained undiminished, slamming fiercely against the golden light barrier!

The barrier has shattered!

Lin Suri let out a muffled groan, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his body flew backward, crashing heavily into the mountain wall.

The jade sword slipped from his hand and stuck in the ground not far away, its blade still trembling slightly.

The Fierce Tiger Token at his waist finally couldn't withstand the force and cracked in two, falling from his waist and landing on the ground with a crisp metallic clang.

The fluctuations of his spiritual energy were extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Xi Yu's astonishing palm strike, imbued with runes, blocked Lin Suri's path.

This was the moment Xi Yuan had been waiting for.

He ignored Lin Suri, who had been knocked back with a single palm strike, turned around, and looked at Chen Lingxi.

A faint hint of killing intent flashed in those unfathomable eyes, like a tiger finally unleashing its claws to crush the troublesome insect at its feet.

The Longevity Bridge's Divine Ability were activated once more.

The majestic spirit bridge stretched across the sky, like a torrent of spiritual light descending from heaven, crashing headlong into Chen Lingxi.

The Prefect Lord's Demon-Breaking Twenty-Four Mystic Pearls Collided in Mid-Air.

After several attempts, they were all shattered!

Chen Lingxi was not surprised at all!

"This treasure of the Credit Peddler can kill someone at the Qi Circulation Seventh Floor, but it's no match for Xi Yuan at the Qi Circulation Eighth Floor!"

At that moment, Xi Yuan stepped forward.

That seemingly casual step had already brought him within ten feet of Chen Lingxi.

He clenched his right fist, the spiritual light on his fist tip condensed to the extreme, all the power was compressed into the small space of his fist!

He stared coldly at Chen Lingxi, his unfathomable eyes devoid of any emotion, only filled with pure, undisguised killing intent.

"It's pathetic that they don't know their own limitations."

Before the words were even finished, the fist had already been thrown. This punch had no fancy moves, only the purest power.

only...

Chen Lingxi seemed completely unafraid.

Xi Yuan clearly see that there was absolutely no fear in Chen Lingxi's eyes.

Those eyes were now as calm as still water, devoid of fear, despair, or even the awe one would expect when facing a cultivator from the Eighth Floor!

Only... silence!

It was as if he had long anticipated this moment, and had been waiting for it all along.

Then...

An unimaginable aura emanated from Chen Lingxi!

The energy was initially extremely faint and subtle, like a spark buried deep in the ashes.

But the next moment, the spark burst into flames!

A terrifying surge of spiritual energy erupted from Chen Lingxi's body, like a volcano that had been dormant for millennia finally awakening at this moment.

That aura was terrifying.

Xi Yuan's expression changed, and he said, "How come you have... on you?"

"Xi Yu Talisman!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Void changed once again.

The Xi Yu Talisman on Chen Lingxi's body was also activated!

A phantom suddenly appeared, slender and tall, with black hair like clouds, its face blurred in the spiritual light.

All that could be seen was the phantom raising its right hand and striking Xi Yuan with a palm.

A palm fell.

Where that palm strike passed, the heavens and earth changed color!

Just like before!

The palm strike crashed down on Xi Yuan.

Xi Yuan retreated abruptly.

He unleashed the full power Divine Ability the Longevity Bridge, creating barrier after barrier of spiritual light in front of him.

Those barriers were layered upon layered, each one condensing the abundant spiritual energy of his Eighth Floor cultivation, each one enough to block a full-force attack from an ordinary Seventh Floor cultivator.

But those barriers crumbled like paper before Xi Yu strike, one after another.

Boom!

The Longevity Bridge trembled violently, and the runes on its surface shattered inch by inch from the force of the blow.

The runes that had been flowing ceaselessly were like fallen leaves scattered by a gale, peeling off the bridge piece by piece and turning into countless specks of light in the air. Countless fine cracks appeared on the bridge, spreading from one end to the other.

Xi Yuan groaned, a sweet taste rising in his throat, and a mouthful of blood surged up, which he swallowed back forcefully.

At that very moment, Chen Lingxi had already closed in on him.

A precious sword is drawn!

The azure light of the Azure Edge Method Technique intertwined with the Purple True Treasure Aura Qi.

The two colors intertwined and twisted, condensing on the blade into a nearly tangible two-colored blade.

With a single slash, the blade flashed, drawing a beautiful yet terrifying arc in the night.

Xi Yuan's spiritual energy surged, leaving him with no choice but to meet the attack with his right fist!

Then the two of them withdrew together!

Xi Yuan's gaze was gloomy!

That slash just now... actually left a shallow bloodstain on his fist.

Although it was just a scratch, it only intensified the murderous intent in his eyes.

A mere pawn at the Qi Circulation Sixth Floor had repeatedly dared to dart about in front of him, and now he had even managed to injure him... Even if it was just a scratch, it was still a great humiliation for him.

What's even more infuriating is... Chen Lingxi stood there with his knife, shaking his head slightly. "Even the highest level cultivators are nothing special!"

Xi Yuan felt a surge of murderous intent, but then he heard Lin Suri's voice from behind him.

"Xi Yuan."

Xi Yuan paused, then turned his head.

Then they saw Lin Suri standing up from the rock face he had smashed.

His robes were tattered and torn, the original appearance of the black brocade robe was no longer visible, and there were tears and bloodstains everywhere. There were still traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, which flowed down his chin and dripped onto the gravel at his feet.

But he stood there, his back straight as a pine tree.

In his right hand, he had picked up the jade sword at some point and was now gripping it tightly again.

Xi Yuan's expression changed slightly.

He glanced at Lin Suri, then at Chen Lingxi.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly snorted coldly, suppressing the surging spiritual energy within his body.

He stopped looking at Chen Lingxi, turned around, and a talisman suddenly appeared, supporting his body and flying away!

He was no longer able to fight.

Chen Lingxi watched Xi Yuan's departing figure with a calm expression, but her heart was churning with emotions!

In that fierce battle just now, he used up his two most powerful resources— the Xi Yu Talisman and the Prefect Lord's Demon-Breaking Twenty-Four Mystic Pearls —and exhausted most of his spiritual energy, barely managing to hold his own against Xi Yuan.

If it weren't for Xi Yu Talisman card, and if it weren't for Lin Suri's restraint from the sidelines, even with such a strong foundation, they wouldn't have been able to defeat Xi Yuan.

At that very moment.

He helped Lin Suri out of the predicament, but Lin Suri did not hesitate at all and turned to leave.

"Fellow Daoist!"

Chen Lingxi spoke.

Lin Suri paused slightly in his steps.

The night wind swept through the valley, making his tattered brocade robe flutter loudly.

Another dragon's roar came, landing in Lin Suri's ears.

"The Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi is but a minor path! I've come to discuss with you... the great fortuitous opportunity of Immortal Husk!"

Lin Suri paused, then turned to look at Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi's eyes were calm and still.

He stood in that desolate valley, his robes equally tattered.

But he stood there, back straight, his gaze unwavering, meeting Lin Suri's eyes from afar.

The words "Immortal Husk" were like a thunderclap in Lin Suri's ears!

After a moment's thought, he moved swiftly and landed not far from Chen Lingxi.

He stood there, hands behind his back, his spiritual energy weak, but his imposing presence undiminished.

Those eyes swept over Chen Lingxi's body for a moment... then suddenly shook their heads.

"Chen Lingxi, the government slave... I remember you, but I never imagined that in my Baosu Marquis Residence, besides myself, there would be another Truth-Seeking Realm ..."

He paused, a scrutinizing glint in his eyes. "Moreover... you even cultivated the Six-Qi True Method of my Dao-Below Academy."

Chen Lingxi smiled and said, "I obtained this method by chance in the Calamity Sea when I was in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm. I found it to be profound and mysterious, so I started cultivating this method! I never expected that this method would have the same origin as yours, fellow Daoist."

He spoke these words effortlessly, without batting an eye.

Lin Suri remained silent, watching Chen Lingxi.

There was no discernible emotion in those deep eyes.

A few breaths passed, and he suddenly asked, "What do you mean by 'Immortal Husk ' that you speak of, fellow Daoist?"

His tone was equally calm.

However, Chen Lingxi keenly sensed a surging murderous intent intent brewing within.

The murderous intent was extremely deep and subtle, flowing silently.

Chen Lingxi suddenly smiled, showing no fear whatsoever, and said, "Brother Dao, do you want to kill me to silence me?"

Lin Suri's aura was like an abyss.

Although his spiritual energy was already weak, the pressure from a cultivator at the Qi Circulation Seventh Floor was still as heavy as a mountain.

He stood there, not uttering a word, simply watching Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi continued to stare directly at Lin Suri, her eyes burning brightly.

He stood there, his spiritual energy in disarray, his robes tattered, clearly indicating that Qi Circulation Sixth Floor.

But as he stood there, his demeanor grew even calmer, staring directly at Lin Suri as if he were discussing philosophy with an equal, without the slightest fear.

But Chen Lingxi slowly, his voice calm and steady.

"Rebirth Realm! Rebirth Realm! What ordinary people seek in the Rebirth Realm is nothing more than to the Truth-Seeking Realm and Cauldron-Seizing Realm, thereby establishing the Dao Foundation Realm and forging the Golden Grotto."

"And I—from the hazy, wondrous Dao, saw your origins! I saw your magnificent presence in the Golden Grotto!"

"From the Mystery Mechanism of the Cave Heaven- heaven, I saw the end of this world! I saw the Immortal Arm! I saw the projections of the cultivators from the Pool-Soul Institute arrive... and I also saw them shatter and return!"

With each word he spoke, Lin Suri's gaze sharpened.

When the sentence "The Pool-Soul Institute cultivators projected their images and saw them return shattered" was uttered, a genuine shock flashed across Lin Suri's deep, calm eyes for the first time.

The shock was like a raging storm, exploding deep within his pupils!

"Fellow Daoist!" Chen Lingxi continued speaking, "The fortuitous opportunity for immortal Immortal Husk is extraordinary, but this realm is shrouded in mystery and is no small matter... Would you be willing to listen carefully?"

Lin Suri spoke, his breathing no longer as calm as before, but rather much more disordered. "Brother Dao... just who are you?"
