Inside the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet space, at an exit.
Lin Dong sat on Little Flame's back, looking back at the apocalyptic scene, his face somewhat pale, a wave of lingering fear surging from his heart.
"Little Marten, do you know what that thing is? It feels like a natural enemy, with an aversion from the bottom of my heart."
"I don't know, but it's definitely not something you can come into contact with right now."
Standing on Lin Dong's shoulder, Little Marten stared at the dark Demonic Qi that was constantly swallowing other spaces like a giant abyss, a chill rising in his heart for no reason.
Feeling the constantly surging terrifying Demonic Qi, and the occasional burst of Sword Qi, Little Marten couldn't help but sigh softly.
"It's really a pity, this evil aura, in its heyday, far surpasses Marten Lord me, even the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace, I'm afraid, is far inferior, that evildoer although his strength is amazing, but I estimate..."
Lin Dong was silent for a while upon hearing this. In fact, with Lin Xuan's strength, if he really wanted to escape, he could have run out in the first place, but he chose to stay.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded in the sky, Lin Dong suddenly raised his head, his brows tightly furrowed, staring at the pitch-black world, but found nothing.
"Lin Dong, something's wrong, look at the middle!"
Little Marten raised his small paw, pointing to a certain pitch-black space in the middle, which, although also pitch-black, was different from the viscous, evil black of the surrounding Demonic Qi, it was more like a gloomy, dark color, vaguely, it seemed to be constantly surging.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
One thunderous sound after another echoed in the Ancient Tablet space, and then, Lin Dong and Little Marten saw a sudden flash of lightning instantly illuminate the entire pitch-black world.
"Boom!"
The huge and ferocious silver dragon brandished its claws and teeth, carrying billowing black clouds, as if trying to break free from the endless abyss around it.
As the electric light flickered, the wind howled between heaven and earth, and waves of vast heavenly might continuously swept out from the depths of the Ancient Tablet space, towards the surroundings.
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Temple, Transform into Divine Thunder!"
A voice as indifferent as a celestial being echoed between heaven and earth, but inexplicably made people feel a warmth in their hearts, dispelling the icy chill brought by the endless abyss.
Listening to that vast and magnificent voice, a look of joy instantly appeared on Lin Dong's face, and he exclaimed.
"It's Young Clan Leader, he's okay!"
However, compared to Lin Dong, Little Marten's face was extremely solemn, and even had a very strong regret in it.
"No, he's about to die!"
"What?"
After hearing Little Marten's words, a look of astonishment appeared on Lin Dong's face, and he turned to look at Little Marten in disbelief, Little Marten sighed and shook his head.
"Even from this far away, I can feel his extremely strong vitality, obviously, he is already burning his life force, unless, he can defeat his opponent with one Sword, otherwise, when his life force is exhausted, his life will also come to an end!"
Little Marten wasn't particularly clear on how strong the Ancient Eight Rulers were, but Little Marten knew that even the Six-Fingered Holy Dragon Emperor, a top powerhouse of the demon beast clan, didn't have such perverted combat power back then.
It's a pity, heaven is jealous of talent...
"Boy, do you really want to risk your life to stop this Palace for that group of lowly creatures?"
Deep inside, a roar rang out at this moment, and the dark Demonic Qi that was still constantly expanding outwards suddenly stopped at this moment, and then, under Lin Dong's shrinking pupils, it rapidly contracted.
Responding to that roar was Lin Xuan's voice of a celestial deity, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
"Magnificent Heavenly Might, Guided by the Sword!"
"Boom!"
As the soft shout fell, a massive heavenly thunder suddenly lit up, completely illuminating the entire dark Demon Prison. Within the endless demonic Qi, beneath layers of dark clouds, a blood-stained white-robed figure rose gracefully.
The long sword in his hand was raised above his head, and from the tip of the sword, a silver-purple heavenly thunder, like a chain of heaven and earth, connected heaven and earth, and its vast heavenly might swept out in all directions.
"Divine Sword Controls Thunder, suppress demons!"
In Lin Dong and Little Marten's widened eyes, that white-robed figure, carrying the vast divine might of heavenly thunder, crashed down towards the earth with a resolute air.
In the next instant, Lin Dong and Little Marten saw that on the dark ground, an incomparably huge dark demonic hand suddenly reached out towards the sky.
"Demonic Hand!"
The originally dark pupils were now completely illuminated by the brilliant Heavenly Thunder Sword Light that erupted. It could be seen that after the silver-purple heavenly thunder struck the dark demonic hand, it only held on for less than two breaths before forcefully breaking through the dark demonic hand and crashing towards the depths of the earth.
"Roar!!!"
A beast-like roar echoed between the entire heaven and earth. Fortunately, at this moment, only Lin Dong was bold and skilled enough to dare to stay at the border of the exit.
"Buzz!"
Just as Lin Dong was still shocked by the world-shaking power of that sword, a special fluctuation came from his body without warning.
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his hand to take a look, only to see that the Mysterious Stone Talisman, which had been silent all along, was actually actively releasing streams of milky white pure energy.
"Mysterious Stone Talisman? Could it be that the Mysterious Stone Talisman has an old grudge with the demon below?"
Just as Little Marten and Lin Dong were feeling strange, the Mysterious Stone Talisman, which had always been well-behaved, flew out of Lin Dong's palm, and then, it turned into a stream of light and flew rapidly towards the depths of the Ancient Tablet space.
"This!"
Looking at the Mysterious Stone Talisman that ran away as it pleased, Lin Dong was directly stunned. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth, patted Little Flame under him, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Little Flame, chase after it!"
To Lin Dong, although he didn't know the origin of the Mysterious Stone Talisman, there was no doubt that it was an extremely important treasure. It could be said that if it weren't for the Mysterious Stone Talisman, Lin Dong would never have been where he was today.
Therefore, no matter what, the Mysterious Stone Talisman must not be lost!
"Roar!"
Little Flame roared in a low voice, without the slightest hesitation, directly shaking a pair of huge beast wings, and chased towards the depths of the Ancient Tablet space. Little Marten saw this and quickly said.
"Lin Dong, calm down, you're just going to die if you go in now!"
"I must get that Mysterious Stone Talisman back!"
Lin Dong said, gritting his teeth. How could he not know the danger? However, he knew even more clearly that he must not lose the Mysterious Stone Talisman. Even if there was danger, he had to take the risk.
Deep within the Ancient Tablet, Lin Xuan didn't know where he was at the moment, but he knew that he must not fall!
At this time, Lin Xuan was completely different from before. Not only had his black hair turned white, but even his body was exuding an aura of death.
Before him, the incredibly illusory Nine Kings Hall, clad in that hideous Demon Emperor Armor, stared with a hint of fear in his eyes at the seemingly tottering youth before him.
Nine Kings Hall had never imagined that Lin Xuan would be so ruthless. First, he underwent Extreme Realm Ascension to fight him, and then, even after the Extreme Realm Ascension, he chose to burn his life force to kill this clone of his.
Although Nine Kings Hall was not dead yet, it was as good as dead. For Lin Xuan, extinguishing this empty shell of a clone was just a matter of mental power.
"To destroy this clone of mine, you're willing to sacrifice your own life? Is it worth it?"
Nine Kings Hall really couldn't understand this madman Lin Xuan. If it were just a simple Extreme Realm Ascension, with Lin Xuan's talent and physique, he could recover in a few months. But burning his life force had serious consequences. Lin Xuan's white hair was just a small manifestation of the situation.
"Lin Xuan said, today, please leave your presence here!"
Even though the hand holding the sword was still trembling slightly, Lin Xuan's voice was still so steady, just like his eyes. Such steadiness left no doubt that once he swung the long sword, the trembling hand would not waver in the slightest.
However, although his voice was still steady, it revealed a hint of decay. Even wrinkles had begun to appear on Lin Xuan's body, one of the aftereffects of the depletion of his life force.
"Is that so? Then I wonder, how many more times can you burn your life?"
Nine Kings Hall gritted his teeth and said coldly. If the situation weren't against him, he would have cursed this madman thoroughly. He was simply insane, even more so than the Symbol Ancestor and the Devouring Ruler back then.
After all, who starts a fight by immediately undergoing Extreme Realm Ascension and then choosing to burn their life force?
As he spoke, Nine Kings Hall circulated the last bit of Demonic Qi in his body, driving the mysterious skeleton beside him to stand up unsteadily.
However, the mysterious skeleton, which initially possessed the strength of the Nirvana Realm Peak, had many bones broken and its strength had directly declined to the early Nirvana Realm.
"You are welcome to try!"
Lin Xuan's hand holding the sword instantly steadied, and the long sword slowly rose. Just as he was about to kill this hastily condensed clone of Nine Kings Hall, a stream of light flew over at this moment.
"Buzz buzz!!"
As the stream of light flew in, pure milky white rays of light were released, reflecting on the thick, dark Demonic Qi around, like the scorching sun melting ice and snow, causing the Demonic Qi to be continuously dissolved.
Nine Kings Hall looked at the white stone floating above Lin Xuan's head, and the next moment, his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed with a ghostly expression.
"Ancestral Stone? How is that possible? Wasn't this thing beaten into oblivion by Our Emperor back then?"
Lin Xuan looked up at the Ancestral Stone above his head, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
At this moment, another sound of rushing wind came. Lin Xuan turned his head to look and nodded slightly after seeing Lin Dong and Little Marten. Lin Dong and Little Marten were also greatly startled when they saw the dying Lin Xuan.
"Young Clan Leader, are you alright?"
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly. The next moment, his eyes instantly focused, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out resolutely. It was when Nine Kings Hall's attention was drawn to Lin Dong and Little Marten that he seized Nine Kings Hall's flaw and took the opportunity to strike.
"Pfft!"
Although the sword's edge was blocked by the Demon Emperor Armor, some Sword Qi penetrated the Demon Emperor Armor and landed on Nine Kings Hall's clone, causing Nine Kings Hall's clone to be directly annihilated.
"Clang!"
"Ding!"
Two sounds came at the same time. The former was the sound of the ferocious Demon Emperor Armor falling to the ground, and the latter was the crisp sound of Lin Xuan's long sword hitting the rock.
Seeing Lin Xuan barely standing with the support of his sword, Lin Dong was about to step forward to help him when he saw that the Ancestral Stone beside him actually flew over on its own initiative.
"Buzz!"
A ball of milky white light shone on Lin Xuan's body, adding a bit of thin power to Lin Xuan's originally empty body. Even the wrinkles on his originally dry face had a slight hint of blood.
However, due to the excessive burning of vitality, the power of the Ancestral Stone was completely a drop in the bucket, and it could not play a big role at all.
In the next moment, the Ancestral Stone seemed to have discovered something. To Lin Dong and Little Marten's shocked gazes, it directly sucked the hideous Demon Emperor Armor into its body. Then, it flew back to the top of Lin Xuan's head, and wisps of power flew out of the Ancestral Stone again, constantly transferring into Lin Xuan's body.
"This is?"
Lin Dong and Little Marten looked surprised. It was the first time they had seen the Mysterious Stone Talisman have such an effect. Before they could ask, an angry roar came from the ground.
"Damn it! Damn it! How dare you take this Hall's Demon Emperor Armor! This Hall remembers you, especially you, the Ancestral Stone inheritor. Prepare to meet the pursuit of my Demon Prison!"
"If you have any objections, you can come up and try with Lin Xuan. Although Lin Xuan's strength is weak, he is willing to ask you for advice!"
Having received a supplement of vitality, Lin Xuan's voice sounded full of energy, unlike the emptiness he had before, revealing a sense of death.
After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Nine Kings Hall, who was speechless, roared angrily at the sky in exasperation.
"Roar!! Boy, you wait, when this Hall breaks the seal, I will definitely slaughter a region to vent the hatred in this Hall's heart!"
"Humph! You can try. Lin Xuan is not good at words. All he has learned in his life is the sword in his hand. At that time, he can also ask you for advice here!"
Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold when he heard the sound, and he snorted softly. When he spoke, the Sword Qi surged around him, making the surrounding Demonic Qi dissipate even faster.
As the Sword Qi surged, a spirit array quickly formed in the air, and soon, it fell on the earth, directly sealing Nine Kings Hall's voice.
Standing aside, Lin Dong and Little Marten, like lackeys, couldn't help but shrink their heads when they heard the earth-shattering demonic roar. However, Little Marten couldn't help but stretch out his paw and give Lin Xuan a thumbs up.
Today, Little Marten finally realized that this person who is not good at words is even more ruthless when he speaks. Those words directly stabbed into the heart. As expected, he is worthy of practicing the sword. Even the words he speaks are sharp swords.
Lin Dong felt a chill in his heart. The words of Nine Kings Hall just now echoed in his ears for a long time. He didn't think that Nine Kings Hall's words were just a ruthless threat.
