Chapter 2022
It paused, its voice filled with cruelty: "Human brat, remember this for your next life: never lightly step into the Devouring Demon Star Ruins. This place has undergone evolution through several chaotic centuries and is no longer something your human quasi-emperors can control. Prepare to die!"
Before the words were finished, the arrow nocked on the bow suddenly burst out with a burst of black mist. The arrow instantly transformed into a black shadow, tearing through the void and even absorbing the surrounding light—this archery technique carried a strong evil aura, completely different from the supernatural abilities of the human cultivation system.
Chen Xuan's heart sank suddenly, and the thought of death exploded in his mind like a thunderclap.
Although his divine sense extended to a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and he could clearly perceive the deadly threat rapidly approaching, he was still unable to lock onto the direction from which the arrow was coming, as if the arrow was hidden in a crack in the void.
"Hmm?" Chen Xuan's mind suddenly settled. He placed his right sword finger against his brow and commanded in a deep voice, "Azure Lotus Sword Realm, Water and Fire Dao Lotus!"
call--
As the incantation was cast, countless blue lotus flowers bloomed within a thousand miles of him.
The petals, layer upon layer, radiated the incomparably perfect power of the Taiyin and Taiyang Dao, acting as both a defensive barrier and a sensory tendril.
With the blessing of the double lotus spell, the lotus in the southwest suddenly shattered one after another. In the instant the petals flew, a beam of pitch-black light pierced through the lotus petals, with a sharp sound of tearing the air, and went straight for his face!
"Well done!" Chen Xuan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly spun around. As he flipped his left wrist, the Beiming Sword hummed as it was unsheathed. The cold light flowing on the sword instantly condensed into a sword beam over a thousand feet long, slashing towards the dark beam of light.
Bang!
The sword tip and the arrow collided violently in mid-air, and after a loud bang, a violent ripple of power spread outwards.
Chen Xuan felt a tremendous force travel along the sword, his arm instantly went numb, and his face turned deathly pale.
The power of this arrow was comparable to the full-force strike of a second-class True Immortal!
What caught him even off guard was that the eerie aura attached to the arrow seeped into his body through the sword, like countless tiny insects frantically gnawing at his divine power.
"Such a strange power..." Chen Xuan gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the surging blood and qi within his body, his expression growing increasingly solemn. "Could it be that after the great war between humans and strange creatures in the Immortal Ancient Era, some of their descendants still survived and multiplied in this place?"
He let out a low shout and unleashed all his supernatural powers: "Law of Heaven and Earth! Three Heads and Six Arms!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan's figure suddenly swelled up, and a triple divine body phenomenon appeared around him—one head and two arms transformed into three heads and six arms, each hand holding a top-grade immortal-level Beiming Sword. Spiritual energy swirled around his body, forming a pale golden light shield, and his aura instantly soared to its peak.
Chen Xuan originally intended to use his supernatural powers to engage in close combat, but the lurking, strange creatures were clearly adept at long-range sniping. Upon seeing him unleash his supernatural powers, they instead increased the speed of their arrow shooting.
Waves of arrows rained down like a storm, the black mist from their tips weaving into a net in the air, blocking all his paths of approach.
Fortunately, Chen Xuan had learned the "Ninefold Battle Glazed Body" inherited from a quasi-emperor of the Little Tower's master. After a thousand years of seclusion, he had cultivated this supernatural power to the sixth level.
With the enhancement of multiple supernatural powers, he activated the Glazed Body, and a layer of light golden glazed light shield instantly appeared around him. Fine runes flowed on the light shield. When the strange arrows hit the light shield, they only made a crisp clanging sound before shattering into black powder.
Chen Xuan stood like an immovable king amidst the rain of arrows, his gaze sharp as a knife, sweeping across the trembling void around him. He roared angrily, "You rat hiding in the shadows, what skill do you have in only shooting arrows? Do you dare to show yourself and fight!"
His angry shouts had barely faded when the four strange creatures, descendants of those who had fired hundreds of arrows in the distance, began to grow somewhat agitated.
Hidden in the mist, they stared at the glass-like light shield surrounding Chen Xuan, their eyes filled with disbelief—this human was only at the Void Reversal Realm, yet he had so many trump cards, even able to withstand the attack of an ancient ancestor's replica imperial weapon!
