Chapter 958
One Man Against an Entire Clan
Duan Wuyai, the patriarch of the Duan family!
The founder of the Duan family, the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, was a powerful man known to the world as Emperor Duan.
Duan Wuyai looked down at Lin Xuan, who had caused devastating damage to the Duan family, but his eyes showed no anger, only an extremely eerie calm.
"I never imagined that my Duan family would suffer such a calamity today. Fellow Daoist, destroying my Duan family comes at a price."
Duan Wuyai stared coldly at Lin Xuan, his aura surging.
Lin Xuan smiled slightly.
"From beginning to end, I have never done anything excessive to your Duan family. On the contrary, your Duan family has repeatedly targeted me. What, do you really think I have no temper?"
Lin Xuan soared into the sky, reaching a height equal to Duan Wuyai's, and the two faced each other directly.
The scene quieted down. Duan Shenfeng and the others stepped back, leaving the middle area clear. At this point, none of them had the right to participate.
"But have you considered that if you wanted to leave based on your strength, they couldn't stop you, and I wouldn't have come out of seclusion just to stop you? But now you've destroyed the Duan family's millions of years of accumulation, and you have to pay the price with your life. Fellow Daoist, if your physical body is destroyed, your soul still has a chance to be resurrected, but if your soul is annihilated, is there still a chance to be resurrected?"
"And how long can such a weak body sustain your soul?"
The well-informed Duan Wuyai had already realized that Lin Xuan was not the owner of this body, so he did not take Lin Xuan seriously.
A mismatch between body and soul can cause a great deal of rejection, which is often devastating.
"Hehe, I knew it. For a mere Earth Immortal to unleash such power, the soul residing within his body must be extraordinary. State your name."
The second-in-command of the Duan family spoke rashly.
Duan Sandao's three swords had now appeared around him, eager to tear Lin Xuan to pieces.
Duan Xuanyu let out a soft breath.
"I knew it. This kid was so confident and could cure the toxins in your body. Sure enough, he does have someone behind him. I just didn't expect that this person was a soul inside him."
"No wonder he wasn't afraid of me repaying kindness with enmity; it turns out he had such a backup plan."
Duan Yeming lay half-reclined on the ground, his body severely injured.
"Hahaha, so what? Since I dare to do this today, it means I don't take you seriously. The Duan family, right? Let me see what kind of level your Duan family is."
Lin Xuan laughed loudly three times, and the power in his body continued to expand.
Because Duan Wuyai was right when he said that Lin Xiao's body was only at the Earth Immortal level. If it weren't for the fact that part of Lin Xiao's bloodline came from Lin Xuan and that Lin Xiao also possessed the abnormal physique of the Four Symbols Sacred Body, Lin Xiao's body would probably have shattered long ago.
However, based on this intensity, Lin Xiao's body can only support Lin Xuan for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn at most.
The Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword's Heaven-Slaying Divine Power was revealed.
At this moment, Lin Xuan no longer held back, using the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to go berserk and the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to escape.
"Boom boom boom!"
The Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword is a legendary Chaos Treasure, and its terrifying power filled Duan Wuyai's eyes with apprehension.
"You've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve. You ruined my Duan family, and today I'll use you to make a difference!"
Duan Wuyai was not angry about the destruction of the Duan family today; on the contrary, he was extremely excited because he saw the possibility of breaking through to the Immortal Venerable Realm in Lin Xuan.
The fact that a body controlled by a Celestial Realm cultivator can unleash the power of a peak Celestial Emperor likely indicates that this soul was a Celestial Venerable in its previous life. Obtaining a Celestial Venerable soul means that one has grasped an opportunity to step into the Celestial Venerable realm.
"Activate the family's grand formation! We must capture him today!" Duan Wuyai roared.
Duan Lang and Duan Sandao immediately understood Duan Wuyai's meaning, and they both shared the same thought.
The soul of the Immortal Venerable is the key to whether the Duan family can become an Immortal Venerable family.
Although they were all wrong, Lin Xuan was indeed a peak Golden Immortal in his previous life. However, Lin Xuan's soul power was truly abnormal, capable of unleashing power close to that of an Immortal Venerable.
After this, Lin Xuan's soul power will definitely be able to successfully enter the Immortal Venerable realm.
With the addition of a powerful soul resurrection technique and a powerful body, Lin Xuan was resurrected, returning as an Immortal Venerable!
It is said that such a method existed in ancient times, but the failure rate was very high. It was difficult for even one in a million people to succeed. Furthermore, the power of the soul could hardly surpass the power of the body by much, so doing so would at most raise one's cultivation level by one major realm.
Lin Xuan was the biggest surprise.
The Duan family's grand formation was composed of thirteen Immortal Emperors and one hundred and sixty Immortal Kings.
Its terrifying power rivals that of a Celestial Venerable.
Lin Xuan's Heaven-Slaying Divine Power has reached its peak.
The Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword was shaking violently, and the Eight Immortal Towers hanging around Lin Xiao's neck also began to shake.
The Heaven-Slaying Sword, the Heavenly Sword, and the Eight Immortal Towers—three divine weapons—surrounded Lin Xuan.
These three forces, combined with Lin Xuan's powerful spatial divine power and terrifying soul power, actually managed to contend with the Duan family's grand formation.
For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.
"The Heavenly Sword, the sword of the Heavenly Immortal Venerable, and the Eight Immortal Towers of the Eight Immortal Venerables!"
Duan Wuyai recognized the two treasures in Lin Xuan's hands, which was quite unbelievable.
"What!?"
Duan Sandao and Duan Lang were both taken aback.
The other powerful members of the Duan family were also filled with disbelief.
Most of them had never heard of the Celestial Venerable Tianshuo, but the Eight Immortal Venerables were renowned figures throughout the Immortal Realm. Wielding the Eight Immortal Towers, they had slain countless powerful evil beings and were Immortal Venerables standing at the forefront, capable of directly conversing with the Immortal Emperor.
The Eight Immortal Towers were also ranked among the top 100 of the Innate Spiritual Treasures list, gaining recognition from the entire Immortal Realm.
"Could you be from the Eight Celestial Palaces?!"
Duan Wuyai knew very well that the Eight Immortal Palaces still existed, and the Eight Immortal Towers were the most precious treasures guarding the palaces, which had now appeared here.
Lin Xuan did not respond and continued his attack.
"Since you won't talk, we'll have no choice but to capture you. As for the treasures you have, the Duan family will keep them for the time being!"
Duan Wuyai had gone completely mad at this point. With three supreme treasures and a Celestial Venerable's soul, he was 80% confident of reaching the Celestial Venerable realm.
Once he reaches the Immortal Venerable Realm, the Duan family can break away from the Xuanming Immortal Sect, become a true Immortal Venerable family, and go to the Ninety-Nine Immortal Realms!
"Young members of the Duan family, activate the Duan family's life-or-death formation! Don't let this person escape!"
The Duan Family's Life-or-Death Struggle!
Lin Xuan knew he had to leave now, or he wouldn't be able to leave. (End of Chapter)
