"You bastard!"
A cold killing intent flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. He raised his hand, and an astonishing blade of energy erupted, slashing fiercely towards the black hole vortex.
Clang!
The sound of the blade rang out like thunder, striking the vortex fiercely. With a loud bang, the entire black hole vortex trembled violently, causing the entire palace to shake as well. However, the astonishing devouring power did not weaken; instead, it increased several times over.
It swallowed Lin Xuan whole.
The seasons change, and the void reverses.
The next moment, Lin Xuan found himself in an unfamiliar space, a vast void, icy cold.
All that could be seen was darkness, except for a blazing flame on the horizon, resembling a fiery red moon. It was described as a moon, not the sun, because the burning flames possessed an icy chill, much like the moonlight itself, which appeared somewhat cold and aloof.
"So many years have passed, and finally someone has come, and a young fellow with such profound knowledge at that. My wait has not been in vain..."
A deep voice emanated from the crimson moon, causing the void to tremble.
An invisible pressure enveloped Lin Xuan.
"Are you the Crimson Moon Immortal Lord?"
Lin Xuan's expression hardened as he looked at the fiery red moon and said coldly, "So, the so-called inheritance is just a pretense. Your real purpose is to choose a suitable body to house your weakened primordial spirit and true soul..."
Lin Xuan wasn't stupid; he understood everything in just a moment's thought.
The so-called inheritance is just a conspiracy.
The Crimson Moon Immortal Lord did not die, but was seriously injured. He has been barely surviving for years. The reason he created the Heavenly Ladder was to use the Crimson Moon Burning Heaven Great Divine Power to select a body that best suits him.
A cold killing intent gradually surfaced in Lin Xuan's eyes, and the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.
Damn it, he got tricked by an old geezer. He won't be satisfied until he gets his revenge.
"Boy, you are indeed very clever. No wonder you were able to comprehend my Crimson Moon Burning Heaven Great Divine Power to perfection. But now that you know, I will no longer hide anything. You are right, all of this was designed by me, and you are the most suitable vessel I have chosen..."
Amidst the fiery red moon, the Crimson Moon Immortal Lord's voice grew increasingly cold: "Don't even think about resisting, it's useless. With your strength, you simply can't escape. Obediently become my vessel, and perhaps I will preserve a wisp of your divine soul for reincarnation."
"I'll spin your sister!"
Lin Xuan was furious. This old bastard wanted to take over his body and dared to be so arrogant. Did he really think his sword wasn't fast enough?
The words had barely left his lips when Lin Xuan attacked, unleashing a devastating slash. A hundred-foot-long blade of energy, like a rainbow, swept directly towards the fiery red moon. As the saying goes, the first to strike gains the upper hand, the last to strike suffers. Lin Xuan understood this simple principle. He didn't know how much strength the Crimson Moon Immortal Lord still possessed, but such an old monster, having schemed for years, must have a wealth of calculations and countless conspiracies.
The only way to break this deadlock is to play unconventionally.
Only by breaking with convention can we find a glimmer of hope.
Clang clang...
A sharp, ringing sound rang out, instantly tearing through the sky and reaching the fiery red moon in a flash. The blade's sharpness and power were enough to dismember a peak Earth Immortal. Even an ordinary Celestial Immortal would be utterly unable to withstand it.
Boom... Bang...
A flash of light, and it slashed down, the sound deafening, but that was all.
Aside from the tremors, the fiery red moon remained completely unaffected, as steady as a mountain, without the slightest disturbance.
"Kid, you're asking for death. You actually dare to lay a hand on me."
Within the fiery red moon, the Crimson Moon Immortal Lord's voice was filled with killing intent, chilling to the bone. A cold, imposing aura emanated from him, directly suppressing Lin Xuan, almost causing the void to collapse. The pressure was as heavy as a mountain, and Lin Xuan felt as if his bones were about to shatter.
"Damn it, this strength is probably beyond that of a Celestial Immortal."
Lin Xuan's expression changed drastically. He gritted his teeth and growled. The Crimson Moon Immortal Lord was too powerful. Although he had clearly weakened over countless years, he was still beyond Lin Xuan's ability to withstand. Just a single wave of pressure from him surpassed the limits of a Celestial Immortal, leaving Lin Xuan with no power to resist.
With his current strength, he is at most comparable to a celestial being; he is no match for anyone stronger.
Lin Xuan's mind raced with thoughts, his mind solely focused on how to break through the gap, because the difference was simply too great.
After much deliberation, no conclusion was reached.
The oppressive aura grew increasingly terrifying.
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, and with a thought, a radiant light suddenly shone from within his body, and a large cauldron appeared out of thin air.
boom……
A powerful force exploded out in an instant, forcefully blocking the terrifying pressure.
It is the Mountain and River Cauldron.
The massive Mountain and River Cauldron was covered with cracks, but it exuded an astonishing power, colliding violently with the pressure emanating from the Crimson Moon Immortal Lord. The void was rippled with astonishing waves, surging out like a tidal wave.
"This cauldron..."
There was a clear hint of shock in the voice of the Crimson Moon Immortal Lord, followed by an even more terrifying pressure descending.
Boom... Rumble...
The void trembled, and even the Mountain and River Cauldron shook. Then, Lin Xuan's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The Mountain and River Cauldron transformed into a stream of light and flew directly back into Lin Xuan's body.
"Boy, if that cauldron were intact, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to you. Unfortunately... it's damaged..."
Crimson Moon Immortal Lord chuckled coldly: "Accept your fate! You are destined to become my furnace. This is your honor, you should be proud."
Damn it, this old man.
Lin Xuan cursed inwardly. "They want to possess me, and they still want me to be proud? I'll be proud of you, my ass! I'll honor all the women of your ancestors for eighteen generations!"
Lin Xuan's face was gloomy and unsightly, and a chilling aura made him increasingly uneasy.
Whoosh!
Just then, the fiery red moon finally moved, shooting straight towards Lin Xuan like a streak of light, its terrifying pressure surging instantly. Seeing this, Lin Xuan almost instinctively swung his sword, trying to block the fiery red moon.
However, the moment he drew his sword, the terrifying pressure swept over him, and the surrounding void was instantly imprisoned. Lin Xuan's sword stopped in mid-air, and the sword energy that had just been unleashed less than a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) froze instantly.
Everything in the world seemed to stand still, except for the fiery red moon that shot straight toward Lin Xuan.
"Hahaha...Boy, you think you can withstand me? That's utterly ridiculous." The Crimson Moon Immortal Lord laughed wildly, and the fiery red moon directly entered Lin Xuan's brow and burrowed into his sea of consciousness.
