Two thousand years ago, a strand of sword light flashed across the nine heavens, tearing through the sky.
The world recovered, and martial arts began to revive.
Two thousand years later...
After Lin Xuan killed the ancient Heavenly Court general who was at the tenth level of Sainthood in one strike, he absorbed many fragments of his memories and gained a deeper understanding of the ancient Heavenly Court, even learning many secrets.
However, many things are not comprehensive, like a thin mist obscuring the view, making it difficult to see clearly.
So, he took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the Taoist priest who was protecting the Chaos Bell.
This person is another Saint of the Tenth Level in the Heavenly Court's army. Moreover, from the fragments of the general's memories, it is known that this Taoist named Chang Geng Xingjun has a higher status than him and may know more about the world.
With a thought, Lin Xuan appeared mysteriously a thousand feet away from Chang Geng Xingjun.
"Venus, the Star Lord..."
Lin Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at the Taoist opposite him, and chuckled: "The Heavenly Emperor wanted to devour the Heavenly Dao, but ended up being devoured by the Heavenly Dao itself. Helpless, he could only reincarnate. As the Heavenly Emperor's confidant, you should know about his reincarnation!"
"How...how do you know all this..."
The Taoist Chang Geng Xingjun's expression changed drastically. This was a secret. Even his companion, the general who was killed by Lin Xuan, only knew a little bit about it. He really couldn't understand why Lin Xuan knew so much.
What exactly is the identity of this outsider?
At this moment, Chang Geng Xingjun's face was extremely ugly. He stared directly at Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with murderous intent, wishing he could immediately annihilate Lin Xuan.
However, he dared not act rashly, because he knew very well that he was no match for Lin Xuan. If he made a move rashly, he would be the one to suffer in the end.
"Tell me everything you know, or your companion will suffer the same fate as you." Lin Xuan didn't want to get entangled with him and issued a direct ultimatum. He wanted to try to subdue this Chang Geng Xingjun, after all, he was a powerful Saint of the tenth level, and if he could be used by him, he would definitely be a great help.
only!
Lin Xuan clearly underestimated Chang Geng Xingjun's loyalty to the Heavenly Emperor. The moment he uttered those words, Chang Geng Xingjun suddenly moved, raising his hand and summoning a bracelet that emitted dazzling starlight, which he then hurled at Lin Xuan.
boom……
The bracelet vibrated, and the instant it flew out, it burst forth with dazzling light, transforming into an enormous halo, like a nebula, that enveloped Lin Xuan.
In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to freeze.
Immediately afterwards, an incredibly powerful and terrifying compressive force swept over, frantically squeezing Lin Xuan's body, attempting to crush him completely. The immense pressure distorted the surrounding heaven and earth, turning the sun, moon, and stars into dust in that instant. Such pressure would likely be too much even for someone of Gu Shenyue's level to withstand, and they would be crushed.
Lin Xuan, however, remained completely normal, without even a change in expression.
The next second, he raised his hand, and sword energy surged forth, transforming into an endless river of swords that crashed violently into the falling bracelet.
With a loud bang, the bracelet was instantly cleaved away, and the surrounding space that had been confined collapsed in an instant. Lin Xuan raised his hand and embraced the void.
Countless stars coalesced, raining down from the sky amidst a raging storm, instantly engulfing the Star Lord Chang Geng. Countless stars fell, frantically assaulting the Star Lord Chang Geng's defenses. His body shimmered with starlight, his entire form swaying like ripples on water, actually managing to forcefully dissolve Lin Xuan's attack.
This skill alone puts him a cut above his companion.
Sure enough, even among those at the same level, there are different levels of combat strength.
Both of them were at the tenth level of Sainthood, but Chang Geng Xingjun's combat power was clearly a notch stronger, and he was able to withstand Lin Xuan's attack.
However, that's all for now.
"kill!"
With a roar, Lin Xuan raised his hand and the Jingzhe Blade slashed across the sky. The ten-thousand-foot blade energy descended like a galaxy, containing endless power of laws, freezing time and space, and reversing yin and yang and the five elements.
The sharp blade energy sliced through Chang Geng Xing Jun's attacks and defenses as easily as cutting tofu, slicing across his body.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for slaying the Saintly Tenth Level Chang Geng Star Lord, gaining 150 million points of luck, thirteen strands of the Star Law Origin, and eleven strands of the Geng Metal Law Origin...]
The next moment, accompanied by the system notification sound, the expression of Chang Geng Xingjun froze instantly, and his body dissipated rapidly like a bubble, completely vanishing in less than ten breaths.
Even on his deathbed, he never imagined that he would one day die at the hands of Lin Xuan, an unknown junior.
Boom... Bang...
A surge of immense blood and spiritual power, like a raging torrent, flooded into Lin Xuan's body, accompanied by countless fragments of memories. Having learned from his previous experience, Lin Xuan proceeded with ease.
He frantically circulated the energy within his body to refine his soul and blood, absorbing fragments of memory.
At this moment, the vast starry sky was completely silent, and the billions of heavenly soldiers were utterly stunned, their bodies chilled to the bone.
Their two leaders were killed without any chance to fight back, which completely overturned their worldview.
"Run...run away quickly..."
The next moment, someone let out a loud roar, and the army instantly fell into chaos. Everyone frantically fled, trying to escape this starry world.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
They were destined to never leave, because in Lin Xuan's eyes, they were just moving points of luck, so why not take them?
"Supernatural Power: Summoning Wind and Rain!"
Lin Xuan opened his eyes, and mysterious runes appeared in his pupils. A tremendous storm suddenly swept across the world, with strong winds and torrential rain.
The wind was no ordinary wind, but a celestial gale, a wind of laws, which even a saint could not withstand. The rain was also evolved from supreme true water, formed from the condensation of endless laws; even a single drop could kill a saint.
Faced with such an attack, how could these billions of heavenly soldiers possibly withstand it? Even if there were saintly experts among them, so what?
In a single encounter, they were all wiped out, leaving no survivors.
From the appearance of the storm to its disappearance, the entire process lasted less than a quarter of an hour. This vast starry sky was already deathly silent, with no living beings except for Lin Xuan, Gu Shenyue, and the others.
Gu Shenyue and the others were completely numb. Lin Xuan's many methods made them tremble with fear and their bodies were chilled. At this moment, they were still in a daze and swallowing their saliva.
Lin Xuan had already arrived in front of the Chaos Bell. Looking at the Chaos Bell floating in the void, he raised his hand, and a vortex swept over, directly covering the Chaos Bell and forcibly taking it into his hand.
Buzz...thump thump thump...
The Chaos Bell trembled violently, as if in resistance, but all in vain. Under Lin Xuan's hand, no matter how it resisted, it was futile. As a sealing incantation was cast, the Chaos Bell gradually calmed down and finally became completely silent.
