Basically, future divine weapons, such as magic treasures, rare treasures, and inherited ancient treasures, will all depend on the nurturing of spiritual energy. The former has room for growth, and through continuous refinement and nurturing, it can even improve its grade.

The latter two have an upper limit, especially the inherited ancient treasures. Because they have lost the refinement of their masters, their power will continue to decline if they are not nurtured. Therefore, later generations will continue to nurture them, using other means and setting up formations and restrictions to refine them. Only in this way can the connection be deepened and can later generations activate them.

Therefore, if a rare treasure or an ancient heirloom is damaged, only those who have reached the Golden Core stage or higher can easily restore its spiritual energy; otherwise, it will require a great deal of effort and spiritual resources.

Fortunately, the hammer didn't get stuck for long and wasn't damaged.

After Lin Xiuyuan calmed down, he did not activate the Falling Mountain Hammer again. It required a lot of magic power, and he was not in good enough condition at the moment. Moreover, he did not know what Gan Yuan's next move would be. In order to avoid getting 'trapped' and having to use the Wind-Fixing Token, he hung it above his head as a backup.

now.

Gan Yuan's continued resistance had already caused the power of the wind blades to pass its peak and continue to decline, so completely blocking it should not be difficult.

After all, it is only the power of a talisman; once its power is unleashed, it will gradually decline.

Lin Xiuyuan then ordered the two Xuanbing weapons to continue assisting Yunxiao's forces in resisting the attacks of the demonic cultivators.

Realizing he had missed his chance to kill, and with his mana depleted, he was unable to launch another major offensive. So he decided to simply cooperate with Huo Yun, fight her, and stall for time until the 'opportunity' arrived.

Gan Yuan shared the same thought. After a while, once the power of the wind blade dissipated, he lost confidence in killing Lin Xiuyuan on the spot.

The effects of the secret technique had almost worn off, and in order to resist the wind blades, another secret technique was used to forcibly increase mana, resulting in excessive consumption of mana, weakening his spiritual energy, and leaving him with no strength left to launch a killing move.

"You were indeed hiding your true strength, such a deep mind. It's a pity we couldn't take advantage of your injuries to kill you in one fell swoop! However, your defeat is already certain. I'd like to see how you will resist us now."

Gan Yuan snorted coldly, feeling somewhat unwilling. He had thought that Lin Xiuyuan's injuries were too severe and his strength would be greatly reduced, and although that was the case, it wasn't as 'reduced' as he had imagined.

It seems that Lin Xiuyuan was mostly hiding his true abilities last time.

Sure enough, how could someone with such a reputation as a top-tier chief combatant be as weak as he was last time?

Gan Yuan then re-condensed the blood mist, suppressing Huo Yun while resisting the continuous power of Lin Xiuyuan's talismans, and no longer dared to advance rashly.

Lin Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Heh, if it weren't for this, I would kill you like a pig or a dog! The defeat is inevitable? How laughable. Don't beg for mercy later."

Hearing this, Gan Yuan felt uneasy. He narrowed his eyes. Rumors said that Lin Xiuyuan was a brilliant strategist and had some kind of secret plan. Could it be that he really had some trick up his sleeve?

And at this time.

Wu Xingteng, who was leading his troops in a full-scale attack, was expanding his gains and felt a sense of excitement.

Especially when he turned around and saw the stalemate between Lin Xiuyuan and Gan Yuan, he realized that Lin Xiuyuan was injured or for other reasons and no longer possessed the power of a chief fighter. He felt more at ease and thought that victory was in sight.

However, after a moment, Wu Xingteng seemed to sense that more energy was coming from behind.

Turning my head, I saw that reinforcements had arrived from Yunxiao's side...

This caused Wu Xingteng's expression to darken for a moment, but he quickly regained his murderous intent.

Because there weren't many people coming to help, only two or three hundred...

"I estimate that they have hastily transferred reinforcements from other directions in an attempt to delay us so that other routes can achieve results."

Adding another two or three hundred reinforcements shouldn't be a big problem.

But soon, Wu Xingteng sensed that something was wrong.

Because another group arrived soon after, although it was only two or three hundred people, but...
