A Fierce Battle, No Match for Him
Three beams of light, stretching across the heavens and earth, suddenly ripped through the void and crashed down!
"Lin Xuan True Lord, I'm so sorry!"
"Since you are already dead, why come back to harm the world!"
"Let's just accept reality!"
Three sharp shouts rang out simultaneously as Wang Ci and the other two Dao Union True Lord attacked Lin Xuan together.
"Town!"
Wang Ci formed hand Hand Seals and made the first move.
A large seal, as majestic as a towering mountain, suddenly flew out.
It swelled with the wind, transforming into a phantom of a ten-thousand-foot-tall divine mountain. The four ancient characters "Divine Mountain Suppressing Seal" lit up on its surface, and it slammed down fiercely towards Lin Xuan.
Wherever the seal passed, Golden Light surged forth like a vast ocean, then transformed into golden chains that wrapped around Lin Xuan's limbs, attempting to lock him firmly in place.
This is Wang Ci's natal Spirit Treasure — the Vast Seal.
The main body is crafted from a fragment of Vast Mountain.
This Vast Mountain is a sacred mountain in Tianyuan. Legend has it that as long as you climb to the top, you can go directly to the Immortal Realm.
True Immortal in the Immortal Realm can also use this mountain to travel between the upper and lower realms.
It possessed immense power, but then suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons.
Although the Vast Seal was made from only a fragment of Vast Mountain, it still possesses extreme power.
Wang Ci won many tough battles thanks to it!
At this moment, Cao Zhao drew his Blazing Fire Divine Sword, and a crimson sword aura that swept across the entire fourth level suddenly slashed out.
"The Nanming Li Fire burns away all evil spirits!"
The sword aura was wrapped with the Nanming Li Fire of the Nine Heavens, transforming into a roaring Fire Dragon. Wherever it passed, even space itself was burned and distorted. The blackish-gray mist that permeated the fourth level was instantly incinerated into nothingness.
"Heaven and earth possess righteous energy, which manifests in various forms; below, it becomes rivers and mountains; above, it becomes the sun and stars!"
Zhao Rugui slowly unfurled the ancient scroll of sages in his hand, and a clear, resonant voice rang out in the fourth level, each word like metal striking stone, carrying a power that shook the very soul.
Pure Vast Righteous Qi surged from the ancient scroll, transforming into thousands of golden sage mantras. Half of these mantras formed layers of protective barriers in front of everyone, blocking the residual effects of the scattered corpse's power.
Half of it was like a dense, impenetrable net, wrapping around Lin Xuan from all sides.
The Vast Righteous Qi of Confucian School is the most powerful and upright force in the world, capable of purifying corpse poison and evil spirits. Once the true words enter the body, they can forcefully disperse the corpse energy and awaken the imprisoned remnant soul.
The three Dao Union True Lord joined forces in a perfectly coordinated attack, and the Dao Union resonated throughout the entire Northern Darkness Sea, causing the entire Qianyuan Cave Abode to tremble violently.
The golden imprint, the crimson flames, and the pure white righteous energy intertwined, almost overturning the entire Qianyuan Cave Abode. Even the aftershocks were enough to annihilate Spirit Transformation cultivator, body and soul.
But in the next instant, everyone's face turned deathly pale.
Faced with this deadly attack that was enough to kill any cultivator of the same level, Lin Xuan didn't even raise his hand to defend.
He simply stood there quietly, his withered gray eyes sweeping over the three of them, and the dark, deathly aura around him suddenly exploded.
The chains that bound him melted and died the moment they touched his vital point, just as ice and snow met a raging fire.
Lin Xuan clenched his fist and grasped all the chains in his palm.
He grasped the Vast Seal from a distance, and the illusory images of mountains and rivers on its surface instantly dimmed, while the runes on the seal extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wang Ci's mental connection with his natal Law Treasure was suddenly severed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was thrown backward by the shock and crashed hard into the stone wall.
The roaring, charging fire dragon was extinguished the instant it touched Lin Xuan within three feet by an extreme, deathly power.
The Nanming Li Fire, which could melt gold and boil the sea, left not even a spark. Cao Zhao felt a bone-corroding corpse aura backlash from the Blazing Fire Divine Sword.
The once crimson sword was instantly covered with inky black lividity, and it let out a mournful cry.
His entire arm was scorched by the corpse energy and the recoil of the flames, half of his body turned charred black, the divine sword in his hand almost slipped from his grasp, and he staggered back several steps, coughing up black blood continuously.
The net of true words formed from Vast Righteous Qi was completely enveloped by the surging corpse energy before it even got close to Lin Xuan.
The golden characters that carried the true words of sages cried out in anguish and crumbled inch by inch. The ancient scroll of sages in Zhao Rugui's hand was directly shattered at the spine, and the pure Vast Righteous Qi was instantly damaged.
His face turned deathly pale, and he spat a mouthful of blood onto the ancient scroll. The clear recitation abruptly stopped, and his entire aura instantly weakened.
"This is bad! He has already mastered the power of the Void Refinement!"
Wang Ci clutched his chest, his eyes wide open, his teeth clenched.
Lin Xuan deliberately underwent a zombie transformation in order to use the powerful force generated during the transformation to break through the barrier and enter the Void Refinement Realm.
Judging from the current situation, he has succeeded halfway.
Although his cultivation level was still at the Dao Union Perfection, he was able to unleash power unique to the Void Refinement Scripture.
Both Cao Zhao and Zhao Rugui looked unwilling.
All three were at the Dao Union Perfection; their combined attack was virtually unstoppable by any cultivator of the same level.
If Lin Xuan could still unleash the power of Dao Union Perfection cultivator, he would have been killed by the three of them working together long ago.
However, things didn't go as planned. Lin Xuan was able to unleash the power of the Void Refinement Realm, but the three of them couldn't defeat Lin Xuan no matter what they did.
The gap between Dao Union and Void Refinement is simply too great.
Even if the three of them joined forces, or even if there were thirty more of them, they still wouldn't be able to defeat Lin Xuan.
Not to mention Lin Xuan after his transformation into a zombie.
Now that they are injured, they can't even escape, and it's safe to say they're almost certain to die here today.
The three of them are still relatively young and have plenty of time.
The three of them were truly unwilling to die here now.
"You ants, you have hindered my path to enlightenment, you shall all perish!"
Lin Xuan let out a low, hoarse roar. His voice was very hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time, but his meaning was still understandable.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ci and the others turned deathly pale.
It's obvious that Lin Xuan is using the corpse transformation to try and enter the Void Refinement Realm.
He's already halfway there; he can now unleash the power of the Void Refinement Realm.
All that's needed now is time for my cultivation to reach the Void Refinement, and then I can become Void Refinement Dao Lord.
But Wang Ci and his group suddenly barged into the Qianyuan Cave Abode and even went straight into the fourth level.
Lin Xuan was not going to let Lin Xuan Wang Ci and the others off the hook for interrupting his cultivation.
Lin Xuan raised his hand and pointed, and three jet-black beams of light shot towards the three of them instantly.
Wherever the beam of light passed, even space itself was corroded by the power of death, leaving pitch-black holes.
Wang Ci exhausted all his cultivation and once again unleashed the Vast Seal to deploy layers of barriers, but those barriers shattered like paper in front of the pillar of light.
The beam of light pierced directly through his right chest, and the inky black lividity instantly spread to his internal organs.
Cao Zhao swung his sword to block, but the Blazing Fire Divine Sword was shattered into pieces by the pillar of light. The remaining force slammed into his chest, sending him flying backward like a kite with a broken string. His cultivation level plummeted by 40% in an instant, and even the fire source in his Dantian was shrouded in a layer of deathly gray mist.
Zhao Rugui forcefully used his own Vast Righteous Qi as a shield to block most of the power of the beam of light.
The pure white protective shield of righteousness shattered instantly, and the ancient scroll of sages in his hand turned to ashes. At the same time, his entire body was enveloped by that power, and his body instantly withered, his hair turned completely white, and his soul was almost completely devoured by the corpse energy. He was about to die.
"Damn it, how did things get to this point!?"
In the distance, Jin Ruoxu and the others stared in disbelief, none of them expecting things to develop to this point.
The three Dao Union True Lord were about to meet their deaths.
But there was nothing they could do, and that feeling was... incredibly frustrating!
