Chapter 487: Chapter 481: Dark Day 16

Zhao Yunfeng’s eyes revealed a look of horror as the Yang Poison Talisman unleashed from his Golden Jade Ruler proved to be utterly ineffective!

Even he himself would be thrown into disarray when facing the Yang Poison Talisman, which contained a deadly poison in each beam of golden light emitted by the divine weapon!

The Yang Poison Talisman, which should have melted and permeated into the skin upon contact, was now being deflected as effortlessly as if blocking metallic arrows.

Such a high resistance to poison....

Before Zhao Yunfeng could recover from his shock, Lin Xin vibrated his sword, dispelling Zhao Yunfeng’s defense, and then delivered a slash directly at his head.

"You scoundrel, seeking death!"

Another formation in the shape of a disc, glowing with golden light, flew towards him and struck Lin Xin’s descending blade.

But to Zhao Yunfeng’s horror, the golden light only managed to slightly slow down Lin Xin’s strike; the sword light continued to fall unchanged.

With such speed and strength, Zhao Yunfeng was caught off guard, and his whole body was sent flying backward, maintaining his defensive posture, as he crashed through numerous tents for over a hundred meters.

Lin Xin’s Soul Domain transformed into pitch-black armor that swiftly adhered to his body.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into a towering monstrosity clad in heavy armor and wearing a bull-horned helmet.

Streams of black Demonic Qi crazily emanated from the gaps in his armor and spread out in all directions.

He had just lifted his foot intending to chase after Zhao Yunfeng.

Ding!

A sudden pain struck his back; a shadow had, at some unknown time, closed in behind Lin Xin, holding a high-temperature, golden-red seal in its hand, striking fiercely at Lin Xin’s back.

Spurt!

A golden-red pillar of light pierced through Lin Xin’s chest, protruding out from his chest and across the camp, disappearing into the far-off sky.

"Hmm?"

Lin Xin did not even glance at the hole in his chest, merely tilting his head slightly.

Boom!

He brought his sword crashing down on the person behind him.

The terrifying strength, coupled with inescapable speed, struck the opponent in an instant.

Vermilion Bird Master’s Soul Domain, a dark red color that clung to his body like a robe, used his domain’s unique rule ability to reduce the impact and force of the blade on him by ninety percent, but even the remaining ten percent was more than he could bear.

A series of crisp crackling sounds echoed as Vermilion Bird Master suffered multiple fractures, but with the successful sneak attack, he felt somewhat relieved. He pulled out a Spirit Talisman to heal his wounds.

Looking up towards Lin Xin, his momentarily eased heart suddenly tightened again.

The wound on the chest of the man in pitch-black armor, which should have been, had already closed up to a tiny slit, seemingly moments away from healing completely.

"I’ll take over!"

Flying Locust Needle Xiao Yiran transformed into a white gleam, charging towards Lin Xin.

Three other radiating lights also rose from the camp, with the Golden Jade Ruler and Flying Locust Needle unleashed, as their Sixth Grade divine weapon Soul Domains suddenly expanded.

However, it was regrettable that Soul Domains could not stack on top of each other.

When combined with the various Soul Domains unleashed by the five Yuan Jing Cultivators, the total power exerted on Lin Xin was only equivalent to twice the strength of a normal Soul Domain.

Under such formidable suppression of the rules, Lin Xin could only move more slowly but was incredibly still capable of movement!

"Golden Jade Unparalleled!"

With a shake of the Golden Jade Ruler in Zhao Yunfeng’s hand, instantly, five beams of golden light were bestowed, landing on the five individuals.

This golden light enhanced everyone’s bodily resistance and recovery by five times the normal state.

Vermilion Bird Master also steeled his heart, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence, causing the Vermilion Bird Divine Seal in his hand to light up with a gold-red glow.

Suddenly, a pair of crimson flame wings appeared on the backs of the five, and their speed also increased significantly.

Plum Blossom Sect’s Xiao Yiran was also provoked, understanding merely after a brief exchange that the opponent was tough and formidable. Even with divine weapons in their hands, and cultivation realms beyond the opponent, a complete victory was still uncertain.

"Drawing the Plum Fairy Trail."

The divine weapon activated as the mantra was recited.

The Flying Locust Needle hidden in her sleeve suddenly lit up with white light, emitting a vast coldness that fell silently over Lin Xin’s entire body, slowing his speed to a certain extent.

Only then did the five Yuan Jing Cultivators breathe a sigh of relief, but Lin Xin’s swift regeneration from a pierced chest, within just a few breaths, was so terrifying it sent shivers down their spines.

Not daring to delay, all five ascended at the same time, charging towards Lin Xin.

Five golden lights, imbued with great speed and strength, closed in on Lin Xin, with all Soul Domains contracted to hug their bodies tightly, amplifying their might to the extreme.

Wielding his longsword, Lin Xin parried and slashed, engaging with the five with unparalleled precision.

At the center of the large camp, one could only see five golden lights swirling around him, continuously striking down, each time repelled by Lin Xin’s terrifyingly heavy strength.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The dull sounds of metal clashing reverberated without end.

With each impact, five different Soul Domains burst forth, bombarding Lin Xin and the surrounding ground and space.

Plum Blossom Sect’s Flying Locust Needle’s cold air would condense four snow-white birds with each confrontation, striking Lin Xin from all directions, unstoppable, but what they contained was the Earth Fiend Mysterious Ice, which even Yuan Jing Cultivators feared tremendously. This kind of cold-poison infused Mysterious Ice, if approached too closely by an average cultivator who had solidified their form, would require sitting in meditation to expel, else the meridians would freeze, and the body would turn to an ice sculpture, vulnerable to being slaughtered at will.

At this moment, Earth Fiend Mysterious Ice was being smashed ceaselessly on Lin Xin’s body as if it cost nothing.

His formidable resistance treated the Mysterious Ice as if nothing, his movements not impaired in the slightest.

The Vermilion Bird Divine Seal’s Vermilion Bird Divine Flame didn’t damage him at all. Lin Xin, already a manipulator of fire, permitted the flames to fall on his Soul Domain armor without leaving a mark, instantly absorbed into the armor.

Having conjured Sun True Fire himself, he naturally wouldn’t fear the mere Earth Fire caliber of the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame.

The Yang Poison Talisman of the Golden Jade Ruler was likewise ineffective; facing Lin Xingao’s excessively high resistance, it was completely useless and had no effect.

The special effects of the three Divine Weapons were completely ineffective against him, less potent than the terrifying force produced by a simple use of mana vibrations.

Soon, the five of them tacitly cooperated, taking turns in succession to relentlessly hammer down at Lin Xin on the ground.

With each dull impact, the space around where they clashed shattered once more, as the overlay of Soul Domains tore at it, causing spatial rules to fragment and bringing back the spatial fissures that had appeared before.

Time slowly passed.

Through consecutive battles, Lin Xin’s body gradually displayed wounds deep enough to expose bone. Although he was rapidly healing, he was slowly unable to keep up with the speed of the five’s attacks.

"This physical body ... it’s simply too strong!"

The five were also exhausted at this point.

Continuously invoking Soul Domains and Divine Weapons was no trivial matter. While they could inflict True Monarch Level damage and injure the opponent in the short term, the consumption for themselves was a frightening astronomical number.

Spiritual energy and demonic qi were being depleted every second. But the group had to persist, occasionally some would try to throw out an array plate, high-level spirit talisman, or use a one-off treasure with divine skills.

But all were easily torn apart and destroyed by Lin Xin.

Any attack weaker than Yuan Jing’s was unable to even approach him.

And without attacks at the Solidification level, they couldn’t even breach his skin’s defense.

This forced all five to maintain their maximum level of explosive power in their attacks. Other methods were a waste of spiritual energy, so they all retracted their efforts.

Five golden streamers danced around, carrying an inexplicable mysterious rhythm, plunging downwards at Lin Xin with each coordinated assault.

Around the site of the six warriors’ clash, the large formation had already shattered beyond recognition, and the ground was full of horrifying holes of unfathomable depth, small ones with diameters of a few meters, and large ones over ten meters wide—all remnants of the Divine Weapon effects resulting from the clashes of the five.

Vermilion Bird Divine Flame, Golden Jade Ruler Yang Poison Talisman, Flying Locust Needle’s icy air fauna—all could cause immense damage to the surroundings should they miss even once.

Lin Xin was now in a passive position, just taking hits.

His Soul Domain was being penetrated, wounds and bloody holes on his body multiplying, and his healing speed was slowing down.

Suppressed by multiple Soul Domains, his movements became exceedingly slow and arduous.

"Pine Forest Sword Demon, you truly live up to your vast reputation! You can be proud of today’s battle, being the target of our combined efforts to eliminate," Zhao Yunfeng said with a cold laugh.

"Why waste words on such a demonic outsider? Kill!"

Flying Locust Needle Xiao Yiran once again brought forth a golden radiance, fiercely striking Lin Xin on the top of his head.

Lin Xin could no longer dodge; his regenerative capabilities were reaching their limits, and his Soul Domain armor was shattered beyond belief, riddled with holes and breaks everywhere.

The other three quickly followed suit, Divine Weapons and palm blades striking almost simultaneously against Lin Xin’s body amidst flashing golden lights.

"Everyone together!" shouted the Vermilion Bird Master at that moment.

"Borrowing power from heaven!" the five of them roared in unison.

The vitality of Lin Xin was simply too terrifying. Unless they completely destroyed him in one go, none of the people present would rest easy.

The spiritual energy of the five Yuan Jing Cultivators surged mightily, merging into one to form a rotating wheel of multicolored lights that swiftly enveloped Lin Xin.

A thunderous cry resembling a bird or a lion rang from the heavens above.

The clouds turned red as a massive volume of them was blown apart.

A gigantic vermilion Phoenix screaming furiously descended from the sky, transforming into a ray of blood light, falling towards the Formation area where Lin Xin was.

In an instant, a red light exploded, countless flames as potent as the Sun True Fire seemed alive as they frenziedly orbited Lin Xin and the five, swirling in madness.

Hissss!

The five were blown away by the massive force of the explosion, staggering back some distance before stabilizing their stances. They watched from afar the terrifying explosion at the center of the campsite.

A golden Phoenix Void Shadow hovered above the great flames, all of which flickered with elusive gold and red runes.

Whispers of an ancient and overpowering aura spread out, their mere presence causing trepidation in the hearts of the five.

"When flames reach the level of Heavenly Fire, they are branded with an Origin Mark. Utilizing the Five-Colored Wheel to summon the Phoenix Divine Flame, even the Sun True Fire would pale in comparison! Let him try not to die!" Vermilion Bird Master said breathlessly with a laugh.

"Indeed worthy of the Vermilion Bird Holy Court, to even summon the phantom of the divine bird, the Phoenix," praised Xiao Yiran.

"But... it’s finally over."

Silver Sword Saint Song Miao, who hadn’t spoken up until now, let out a huge sigh of relief.

"Yes... If we hadn’t coordinated in advance before arriving, enabling us to summon the Phoenix Void Shadow through the Five-Colored Wheel Formation, this situation would’ve been terribly troublesome..."

Zhao Yunfeng took out a small bottle of pills from his sleeve, about to open it and take a few to recover his consumed energy.

Clap, clap, clap, clap...

Suddenly, a burst of crisp applause came from behind them.

"What a great performance," came a voice from behind, causing their hearts to panic.

The five swiftly turned around to see a silhouette casually stepping through the air, and as they clearly saw the face of the newcomer, their expressions shifted to shock and disbelief.

How is this possible!!??
