The black-robed cultivator was once a peak Xuanxian Realm demon king. After killing a Heavenly Court cultivator and absorbing their essence, he immediately fled and used his innate concealment talent to hide himself, completely unafraid of any Heavenly Court powerhouses pursuing him.
In the time since, he had just broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm, becoming a Golden Immortal demon king. This was the moment he was ready to rise to glory!
While he didn't understand how this powerful Heavenly General had found him, it didn't matter. After all, he had ascended to Golden Immortal. Why would he fear a Xuanxian Heavenly General?
Even the strongest Xuanxian wouldn't stand a chance against a Golden Immortal!
“Hmph, you vile demon, your crimes are unforgivable. You will be put to death today.”
Lin Xuan didn't bother arguing with the demon. He could sense the demon's breath was still slightly unstable, clearly just having broken through to Golden Immortal. This kind of opponent was no match for him now, and he was completely confident in crushing him!
He then stepped forward, his body radiating golden light as he punched out. His blood surged, interwoven with Gengjin energy, his strength powerful and incredibly sharp!
“How dare you look down upon this King! You deserve to die!”
A flash of fury appeared in the eyes of the Golden Immortal demon king. He had endured countless hardships to finally ascend to Golden Immortal, and seeing this Xuanxian Heavenly General dare to look down on him, he was instantly enraged. He too erupted with blood light, then lunged towards Lin Xuan.
In his hand, thick blood light condensed into a blood spear, piercing forward. The tip of the spear dripped blood, capable of easily penetrating anything!
Even though he had just broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm, its power far surpassed that of a Xuanxian, enough to instantly kill most Xuanxian. Even many innate spiritual treasures couldn't withstand the might of this spear.
However, the next scene left him wide-eyed.
Lin Xuan didn't dodge or evade. He met the blood spear with a punch, and then, with astonishing ease, shattered the spear he had condensed. The force of the blow didn't abate, and it slammed into his body, powerful energy flooding into him, making his blood churn, his nose and mouth bleeding. He was sent flying backwards!
“Ah!”
The Golden Immortal demon cried out in pain, his face contorted in agony. It was only after the direct clash that he realized just how terrifying Lin Xuan's strength was. It was even stronger than his own! Moreover, his attack was infused with sharp Gengjin energy that directly pierced through his flesh, causing him unbearable pain, as if swords were slashing through his body!
“How could a Xuanxian have such strength? And what about this Gengjin energy? Is he a special divine body?”
“I can't engage in close combat with him!”
The demon's face was twisted with a mix of rage and fear. As he flew backwards, a thick blood light erupted from his body, transforming him from a humanoid form into a giant bat!
Clearly, he was going all out. By assuming his true form, he could unleash all his abilities.
“Heh, so you're a bat demon. No wonder you excel at concealing your presence.”
“Unfortunately, your strength is too weak!”
Lin Xuan's expression was indifferent as he continued to pursue, preparing to unleash another punch.
However, his brows furrowed as he saw the bat demon fly away, leaving behind a trail of blood that formed a vast, surging blood river that enveloped him in an instant.
As the blood river churned, it rapidly solidified into countless blood spears, blood blades, blood swords, and more, raining down on Lin Xuan like a dense storm!
Lin Xuan snorted coldly, his golden light intensifying. He directly used his flesh to withstand the attacks. These attacks couldn't even scratch his skin, leaving the bat demon dumbfounded!
This bat demon wasn't skilled in offense, and with its newly acquired Golden Immortal cultivation, breaking through his Unbreakable Golden Body was practically impossible. At best, it could only restrict his movements.
“Blazing Sun!”
The next moment, Lin Xuan unleashed the red attribute 'Blazing Sun'. Blazing flames erupted around him, and within the flames, wisps of Solar True Fire blazed with intense heat, instantly melting away the countless blood weapons!
Then, he punched forward, his overwhelming strength carrying the Solar True Fire, directly blasting a path through the blood river. The power was too domineering, and he continued to advance towards the bat demon.
“Damn it, I'm a Golden Immortal! This is infuriating!”
“Blood Manipulation, Blood River Suppression!”
The bat demon saw how ferocious Lin Xuan was, how his attacks had no effect, and instead, he was forced to retreat, afraid of Lin Xuan getting too close. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of anger and frustration, as though his Golden Immortal authority had been challenged.
However, he had cultivated to this level for a reason. His most powerful talent was manipulating blood, a truly bizarre ability!
Ordinary Xuanxian would instantly explode upon a casual flick of his finger. Even a Golden Immortal in the early stage would be greatly restricted, suffering immensely.
He wasn't naturally skilled in direct combat. Controlling blood to manipulate living beings and using blood to cast spells and corrupt his enemies were his most potent strategies.
“Blood Control? Hmph, you're still far from being able to harm me!”
Lin Xuan frowned as he felt his blood becoming uncontrollable, wanting to surge out of control. He snorted coldly, activating the Unbreakable Golden Body. Under the power of the technique, his chaotic blood was immediately suppressed, but the ability did have some effect on him, causing his blood to churn.
Seeing the blood river about to completely engulf and suppress him, his eyes narrowed, and he prepared to unleash all his power. He didn't want to waste any more time.
While he was confident in his unarmed combat ability, actually killing this bat demon would be difficult. The reward for this mission was too great to allow for any mistakes!
He needed to crush this demon with absolute strength!
Buzz!!
In an instant, to the bat demon's horror, a large cauldron appeared above his head. It spun around, shedding layers of Xuanhuang Qi that isolated all external forces, becoming impervious to all techniques!
The mid-grade innate defensive spiritual treasure—Xuanhuang Cauldron—instantly displayed its overwhelming aura, causing the bat demon to freeze in place, dumbfounded.
At once, the bat demon's Blood Control ability was completely useless against Lin Xuan, and the surrounding blood river, surging forward to attack, was firmly held back by the Xuanhuang Qi, unable to touch him at all. To break through the Xuanhuang Cauldron's defenses, the bat demon was still far from capable!
Lin Xuan could now unleash his full power without restriction.
Whoosh!
Lin Xuan summoned the innate spiritual treasure, the Chixiao Sword. His peak Xuanxian Realm power surged into it, activating its restrictions. He then added the attributes 'Swordsmanship' and 'Blazing Sun,' boosting the sword's power to its peak!
In the next moment, a celestial, crimson sword light appeared, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. The light was dazzling and incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through anything, imbued with an intensely scorching aura. Its destructive power was phenomenal!
“Ah!!!”
The bat demon watched in terror as the crimson sword light descended upon him. He couldn't dodge in time. The blood light techniques he had set up were instantly shattered, and with a scream, his body was bisected by the sword light. Clearly, he had no power to resist and was utterly crushed!
