Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 304 The Fear of the Lingxu Remnant and Cooperating with the Demon Emperor!
Within the secret realm, a persistent, scorching heat swept over us, and every inch of the ground beneath our feet was incredibly hot, as if it had just survived an apocalyptic catastrophe.

The once lush forest has now turned into scorched earth, with only broken tree trunks standing there like withered bones.

The air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell, mixed with the stench of demonic beast blood, which lingered for a long time in the desolate secret realm.

Lu Xuan slowly raised his eyes and looked at the still raging inferno in the distance.

The raging black-gold flames, like mad fire dragons, rolled wildly in the secret realm.

Wherever it went, the earth was scorched to a boiling point, trees turned to ashes, and rocks were burned red.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan raised his right arm slightly, slowly lifted his right hand, and gradually clenched his five fingers.

In an instant, a rapidly spinning black vortex appeared in the palm of Lu Xuan's right hand.

The vortex was like a deep black hole, emanating a powerful and chilling suction force.

The majestic and terrifying sea of ​​fire in the distance seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and the originally surging flames instantly stopped in place.

Subsequently, under the powerful pull of Lu Xuan's palm, the World-Destroying Fire Sea slowly contracted, and the flames gradually weakened.

In the end, all the black and gold flames that filled the sky were absorbed into Lu Xuan's palm.

However, just as the world-destroying sea of ​​fire disappeared, a thunderbolt suddenly streaked across the sky above the secret realm, its deafening roar echoing between heaven and earth, stirring up layers of air waves.

Immediately afterwards, a line of large, golden characters, exuding an ancient aura, appeared and disappeared in the thick, bottomless sea of ​​clouds.

The Demon Slayer Cave Secret Realm Trial has ended!
Almost simultaneously, five dazzling beams of light pierced the sky, which was filled with billowing black smoke.

It exploded in front of Lu Xuan with a bang, and the intense light made Lu Xuan unconsciously squint his eyes.

As the blinding light gradually faded, a bronze sword with an ancient design floated in mid-air.

The sword is engraved with mysterious and complex patterns, each pattern radiating a profound light.

The sword trembled slightly, emitting a buzzing sound like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, seemingly possessing immense power.

At the same time, four different celestial objects slowly rotated around the bronze sword, forming a strange sight.

A nine-petaled red lotus blooms quietly, its soft halo enveloping the surroundings like a light veil.

The dewdrops on the petals resembled sparkling pearls, radiating a crimson glow.

A frosty white flower radiating a ghostly glow, with wisps of cold air meandering like snakes, instantly freezing the air wherever it passed.

A fist-sized Crimson Flame Fruit, its surface patterns leaping like lively flames, continuously releasing a blazing aura.

There was also a section of thousand-year-old ginseng, its rich medicinal fragrance filling the air, its fibrous roots swaying gently in the air like lively elves.

"Sacrificial artifacts!"

"A treasure of heaven and earth!"

Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp; with just a quick glance, he saw through the extraordinary nature of these treasures.

At this moment, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "As expected of the Spirit Ruins, it lives up to its name!"
This place is filled with all kinds of rare treasures, making it a dream destination for martial arts practitioners—an inexhaustible treasure trove.

Rumble!
The sky suddenly tore open, and from within the billowing black smoke, a distorted, aged face materialized, its turbid eyes blazing with boundless fury.

Lu Xuan's eyes sharpened; without needing to think, he knew who the person was.

Who else could it be but that old nemesis?

The lingering regrets of Luolingxu!

"It's really you!"

The furious roar of the lingering spirit of Luolingxu caused this entire secret realm to begin to collapse.

Countless chains of world rules fell like a torrential downpour on every inch of the earth, turning the entire world into a cage!

however--

Swish!
Faced with this overwhelming momentum, Lu Xuan didn't even lift his eyelids.

In the next instant, a faint light flashed from Lu Xuan's sleeve, and he instantly pocketed all five treasures that were rewards from the secret realm.

After doing all this, Lu Xuan's body rippled outwards like waves on water.

Surprisingly, it vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace, even amidst the encirclement of countless chains of world rules!

The lingering spirit of Luolingxu let out an angry roar, its voice resounding throughout the entire secret realm like a booming bell: "Don't even think about running away!"

However, as soon as Luo Lingxu finished speaking, he was shocked to discover that...

Lu Xuan, who was originally trapped in the cage of the world's rules, has disappeared without a trace.

"what!"

The lingering remnant of Luo Lingxu let out a furious roar of resentment: "This infuriates me!"

He never expected that he would finally be able to sense Lu Xuan's presence.

Then, he decisively sealed off this area, but the cunning young man still managed to escape.

Heaven knows how much effort and time Luo Lingxu's remnant had spent trying to find Lu Xuan again, but the result was a huge disappointment to him.

Even the outsiders who had intruded into the Spirit Ruins and the Demon Emperor were ignored by the remnant spirit of the Fallen Spirit Ruins, who were focused on searching for Lu Xuan's whereabouts.

"Something's not right with this young man!"

After calming down, Luo Lingxu pondered to himself.

"How could he ignore the power of my world's rules and just run away!"

"It is absolutely impossible for a mere ant at the Void Realm to do such a heaven-defying thing."

A hint of doubt and fear flashed in the eyes of Luo Lingxu's lingering spirit: "Such powerful spatial laws!"

"Could it be that this junior possesses a spatial magic ability for protection?"

Thinking of this, the lingering remnant of Luo Lingxu frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy.

"No, it doesn't seem to be just the power of the laws of space. Just now, I also sensed fluctuations in the laws of time."

"The power of the laws of spacetime?"

The voice of Luo Lingxu's lingering spirit trembled slightly, as if he could not believe his own guess.

If Lu Xuan truly possesses the laws of spacetime, then capturing him would be virtually impossible.

Only a true Earthly Venerable Realm Lord, who unleashes his complete inner world, can firmly trap Lu Xuan, who controls the divine powers of spacetime laws.

The awkward part is that the remnant spirit of Luolingxu can only control a small world for a short time and cannot fully exert the true power of a local lord.

It can only be said that the strength of the remnant spirit of Luolingxu is barely comparable to that of a Earthly Venerable Realm Lord.

"No."

"That junior is just too strange!"

"We can't let him grow up like this anymore."

"This child must not be allowed to live!"

The remnant of Luo Lingxu's eyes flashed with cold light, and countless insidious schemes surged in his mind.

"In just six months"

The voice of the lingering spirit of Luo Lingxu carried an unprecedented sense of panic.

He clearly remembered the junior he had chased and fled in a sorry state six months ago.

Now they can move freely within his intricate web of traps. Even more terrifying is that...
"If we give him a little more time..."

With Lu Xuan's terrifying growth rate, by the time they meet again, his opponent will probably have already reached the Earthly Venerable Realm!
At that point, the positions of hunter and prey will be completely reversed.

When that day truly comes, it will be the day I perish!

"Hmph, it has to be before he breaks through."

Can Nian suddenly let out a sinister snort and cast his gaze toward the distant horizon.

That junior seemed to have a great interest in the rewards from the secret realms within the Spirit Ruins.

Can Nian suddenly grinned maliciously, his voice like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, sweeping across the entire secret realm. "Good."

"very good."

"You forced me."

"Then I'll trap you like a turtle in a jar!"

Swah——

A dazzling rainbow suddenly shot out from his eyes, piercing straight into the sky!

The rainbow light, as red as blood, pierced through the void in an instant and disappeared into the depths of the Spirit Ruins.

After half a stick of incense.

boom--! ! !
The entire secret realm trembled violently as a terrifying aura, surpassing all things, descended upon it!
In the distance, a figure stood in mid-air—a bird-headed human with crimson flames enveloping him!

Ancestor Feather Emperor!

Its eyes, as bright as the blazing sun, were fixed on the lingering remnants of the Fallen Spirit Ruins.

Then, the Feather Emperor Ancestor grinned with a sinister smile.

"How interesting that a mere wisp of remnant spirit dares to expose its whereabouts!"

Before the Feather Emperor Ancestor's voice had even finished, the temperature of the entire world suddenly soared, and the clouds for thousands of miles instantly evaporated!

"Hand over the origin of the Spirit Ruins!"

The Feather Emperor Ancestor raised his sharp claws, causing the void to shatter inch by inch. "This ancestor might spare your life!"

boom! ! !
Under the terrifying claw strike of the Feather Emperor Ancestor, the heavens and earth suddenly shattered!
Upon seeing this, the remnant spirit of Luo Lingxu's face twisted, and its aged five fingers suddenly pressed down—

Wow!
Countless chains of world rules condensed from the void, transforming into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky.

Every line flowed with the terrifying power of the world's rules, fiercely meeting the claws of the Feather Emperor Ancestor!
Upon seeing the remnant spirit of Luo Lingxu resist, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Feather Emperor Ancestor.

But then, the Feather Emperor Ancestor's sneer grew even more sinister: "You mere remnant spirit dares to resist?"

With a loud "bang," the claws of the two collided, silencing the entire Spirit Ruins.

Then—boom!

A visible circular shockwave swept across the entire secret realm.

Wherever the shockwave passed, mountains collapsed, and ancient trees within dozens of miles were instantly reduced to dust.

The hidden secret realms and natural barriers shattered one after another, like bursts of death fireworks.

"Crack!"

The space of the secret realm shattered like a mirror, revealing the distorted chaotic void behind it.

Two terrifying beings at the Earth Venerable realm nearly broke through this secret realm of heaven and earth in just one simple exchange!
The Feather Emperor Ancestor swayed slightly, and the purple-gold holy flames wrapped around his claws dimmed a bit.

The lingering spirit of Luolingxu fared even worse—its face, formed from thick black smoke, was mostly shattered and took a long time to painstakingly reform.

"A mere wisp of remnant spirit, relying on the power of this world, barely possesses the power of a Earthly Venerable."

"I don't believe you can keep going like this!"

However, despite making harsh threats, the Feather Emperor Ancestor did not choose to take action.

It suddenly gave a sinister smile and subtly changed the subject: "What exactly are you plotting by deliberately leading me here?"

There's a saying that goes, "Old people become wiser," and monsters are no exception.

Since entering the Spirit Ruins, the Feather Emperor Ancestor has been searching for more than just the whereabouts of Empress Xia Mingyue and Lu Xuan.

It also took the opportunity to search for traces of the lingering spirits of the Fallen Spirit Ruins.

The Feather Emperor Ancestor stated that regardless of the immortal artifact in that woman's hand, the secret on Lu Xuan's body, or the Spirit Void Origin in the hands of the remnant spirit of the Fallen Spirit Void, it was all related to the fact that the woman possessed the immortal artifact, Lu Xuan's secret, or the Spirit Void Origin in the hands of the remnant spirit of the Fallen Spirit Void.

It wants them all!

The face of Luo Lingxu's lingering resentment flickered in the void, a trace of fear flashing deep within his turbid pupils.

One of the Ten Great Demon Ancestors of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Feather Emperor!
A demonic beast that has reached the Great Perfection of the Earthly Venerable Realm!

As a remnant of the Fallen Spirit Ruins, he naturally possessed memories of the Feather Emperor Ancestor.

The Feather Emperor has only just revealed the strength of the early stage of the Earthly Venerable realm, so it seems that this is just an avatar of its.

"The Feather Emperor."

The voice of regret was hoarse, like gravel scraping on the ground, carrying a hint of deliberate compromise.

"I do indeed possess the origin of the Spirit Ruins." Luo Lingxu spoke slowly, a strange look appearing on his face, which was covered in black smoke.

"However, only half."

"My other half—"

Luo Lingxu deliberately dragged out his words, his gaze fixed on the Feather Emperor Ancestor like a venomous snake.

"It's on the woman you're chasing."

The Feather Emperor Ancestor's pupils suddenly contracted, and the purplish-red flames around his body abruptly stopped.

"Moreover," the lingering remnant of the Fallen Spirit Ruins suddenly grinned sinisterly, "she possesses something even more precious than the Spirit Ruins' origin—"

"Heavenly Primordial Artifact: Mysterious Bird Cauldron!"

boom!
These words were like a thunderclap.

The purplish-red flames around the Feather Emperor Ancestor suddenly surged, dyeing the entire sky a bewitching purplish-red!

Its eyes, as bright as the sun, now revealed an unprecedented greed.

Sure enough, the cauldron that the woman used was the legendary Heavenly Origin Immortal Artifact.

That's a legendary immortal artifact that only a Heavenly Origin Immortal could create!

It contains the power of the Dao that surpasses everything!
The Feather Emperor Ancestor abruptly stopped, his fiery demonic eyes narrowing slightly as he stared intently at the remnant spirit of the Fallen Spirit Ruins.

The violent aura gradually subsided, replaced by a chilling calm.

"You deliberately leaked this information," the Feather Emperor Ancestor's beak curled into a dangerous smile, "What do you want?"

The face of Luo Lingxu's lingering resentment was faintly visible in the black smoke, and a glint of triumph flashed in his turbid pupils.

"It's very simple."

"I want a human!"

"He will definitely appear in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm on Lingkong Island three months later."

…………..
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in the sky, Lu Xuan was surrounded by a pulsating white halo.

This is the change that occurred after he pushed the "Close to the World" martial arts movement technique to its extreme.

The concept of "so close yet so far" is no longer simply about crossing spatial boundaries; it also gives rise to a wisp of the power of the laws of time.

The power of time and space!
Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: True Lord of the Void (???)
功法：焚天刀法10/9，咫尺天涯9/9，不死不灭9/9。

Score: 21000
"Twenty thousand system points!"

Lu Xuan checked the system panel and murmured to himself.

He was given 20,000 system points for destroying the monsters in that secret realm.

Immediately afterward, Lu Xuan took out the items that had been stored in the Void Realm.

"And these!"

"The six-patterned star-weapon Demon-Slaying Sword, and four high-grade spiritual treasures."

These precious martial arts resources, which are extremely rare in the outside world, can be easily obtained by simply completing a mission in a secret realm.
