Suddenly, a divine light burst forth from the ring, followed by a fist-sized, pearl-shaped sphere floating in the air, emitting a faint glow.

Lin Xi gently waved his hand, took the ring in his hand, and then tossed it lightly into the void.

Bang!

In an instant, the small pearl sphere expanded rapidly, transforming into a sphere as large as a millstone.

Accompanied by a low rumble of thunder, the sphere suddenly shot forward at high speed.

The sphere collided with Lingxiaozi's hand, and a terrifying force erupted from it. Lingxiaozi felt a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth, and his entire right arm was instantly severed, with blood gushing out like a fountain.

"How is this possible?!"

Lingxiaozi's pupils constricted, his expression changed drastically, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, his eyes filled with shock.

He never expected that this seemingly ordinary ring would have such amazing power, directly causing him serious injuries!

"Damn it! What kind of treasure did you use?"

His face was extremely pale, and his eyes were filled with apprehension.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xi couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "This ring is called the Thunder Origin Ring. It's a storage ring that I obtained by chance when I was in the Heavenly Cloud Realm."

Lei Yuanjie?

Lingxiaozi's pupils contracted instantly, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

He had wanted this for a long time, but had never been able to get his hands on it.

Moreover, this item is too precious for even him to obtain easily; he can only look on with envy.

"You little beast, today I will take your dog's life!"

Lingxiaozi roared through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi sneered: "If you want to kill me, you should kill yourself first!"

"court death!"

Lingxiaozi's face turned ashen, and a raging fire suddenly erupted from his body. He conjured a long sword that shone with a dazzling blue light in his palm and fiercely stabbed it towards Lin Xi.

Lin Xi showed no fear. He dodged the sword's edge with a swift movement, and a blazing crimson flame rose from his palm.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The longsword struck the blazing crimson flames and instantly melted.

"How is this possible! How can you possess such terrifying flames?"

Lingxiaozi's face showed horror; he had never encountered such a situation before.

He had no way to withstand that kind of flame.

Moreover, he discovered that his opponent was actually stronger than him!

Ling Xiaozi was deeply shocked. He was already at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Once he broke through to the Golden Core stage, he could transcend tribulation and ascend to immortality. The higher his cultivation, the greater the lightning power he had to withstand, and naturally, the more terrifying his combat power would be.

However, this young boy, who had clearly only recently entered the Golden Core realm, unleashed such terrifying flames.

At that very moment, a deafening roar of thunder resounded across the sky.

A massive, thunderous dragon plummeted from the sky, as if divine punishment had descended.

"Oops!"

Lingxiaozi's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly fled.

As a high-level cultivator in the Golden Core stage, he was unable to withstand the lightning tribulation; once struck, he would surely be reduced to ashes.

Lingxiaozi had only escaped a few meters when a bolt of lightning streaked towards him.

He suddenly felt a chill run through his body, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he almost fell through the air.

Looking up, one could see Lin Xi still standing in the same spot, his expression calm, holding a fireball the size of an egg in his palm, radiating intense light.

"What...what kind of strange thing is this? How can it unleash such terrifying flames?!"

Lingxiaozi's forehead was covered in fine sweat, his face was full of fear, and he retreated repeatedly, eager to get away from this place.

He knew that if he were struck by lightning, he would surely die.

Another thunderbolt ripped through the sky, heading straight for Lingxiaozi. His figure traced a graceful arc in the air before vanishing without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Lin Xi cursed under his breath, then clenched his fist and crushed the fireball.

"call!"

A violent suction force erupted from the fireball, spreading in all directions and covering an area of ​​hundreds of feet in radius. Countless bolts of lightning gathered wildly and poured into the fireball.

This is a rare fire-attribute immortal artifact that Lin Xi obtained by chance. He originally intended to give it to an elder in the Lin family, but unfortunately, the elder had passed away.

"call!"

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from within the fireball, with purple lightning swirling within it, appearing exceptionally ferocious.

A deafening explosion rang out, and a magnificent mushroom cloud soared into the sky, scattering all the surrounding clouds.

"So strong!"

Lin Xi was astonished at the sight. He hadn't expected the flames in the ring to be so powerful that they could completely destroy the body of a Golden Core Peak expert.

Lingxiaozi has fallen!

His soul was consumed by the flames within the ring, a one-time use item.

Simply by dripping blood to acknowledge its owner, one can claim it as their own.

"call!"

Lin Xi exhaled a breath of stale air, a bitter smile flashing across his face.

In the past, this situation would have terrified him. But now, he's used to it.

A token floated in front of him.

Lin Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

This is a jet-black token, on which a vivid and lifelike dragon is carved, exuding power and arrogance.

Lin Xi took the token, examined it carefully, and suddenly his brow twitched.

The token evoked a sense of déjà vu, but the memory was too hazy to recapture.

The token suddenly trembled violently, bursting out with a dazzling crimson light that enveloped everything around it in its intense radiance.

At the same time, an image suddenly appeared in Lin Xi's mind.

It was a tattered map marked with numerous mysterious symbols, seemingly depicting some unknown mountain terrain.

"this……"

Lin Xi's eyes widened in shock.

To his surprise, he found the scene depicted on the map inside the ring.

It was a fragmented and intricate map, and it took him several days to decipher it.

This fragment of a map is a map of the ruins left by their Lin family ancestors.

At this moment, he encountered this fragment of the map again in Lingxiaozi's storage bag.

"Could it be that the fragment of the map is hidden inside this storage bag?"

Lin Xi pondered to himself, and instead of exploring immediately, he carefully put the map away.

With a flash, he appeared in front of Lingxiaozi in an instant.

At this moment, Lingxiaozi was in a terrible state, his whole body was charred black, his clothes were tattered, and his skin was emitting blue smoke, as if he had been scorched by a raging fire.

His face was deathly pale, his body trembled, and his gaze toward Lin Xi was filled with fear.

If he hadn't fought back so desperately, he would probably have been reduced to ashes long ago.

"Well, you must be quite pleased with the treasure inside this ring, right?"

Lin Xi's lips curled into a sly smile as he gazed indifferently at Ling Xiaozi.

"you……"

Lingxiaozi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, filled with deep-seated resentment.
