Gazing at the Ice Master and the little girl who was the Reincarnation Realm body of the Lord of Life and Death, protected in the middle by a group of Reincarnation Realm and Revolving Wheel Realm experts, the Nine Kings Hall harbored no hostility.
Although erasing these two currently weak Reincarnation Realm bodies of the Ancient Eight Rulers would tip the scales of this great battle in favor of their Otherworldly Demon race.
However, the Nine Kings Hall was even more aware that in his current state, let alone charging into that group of Reincarnation Realm and Revolving Wheel Realm experts to kill the Reincarnation Realm bodies of the two Ancient Eight Rulers, whether he could even save his own life was another matter.
Therefore, in the brief moment when Bo Xuan and the others' attention was focused on Jiang Yinyin, the Nine Kings Hall did not hesitate in the slightest, instantly tearing through space and preparing to flee to the outside world.
Although Lin Xuan was talking to Ying Huanhuan and the others, in reality, his attention had always been on the Nine Kings Hall. Therefore, the moment the aura within the Nine Kings Hall was mobilized, Lin Xuan was already on guard.
Almost at the instant the Nine Kings Hall disappeared, Lin Xuan's figure also disappeared from the spot.
"Sizzle!"
The next moment, a sound of space tearing suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention. Looking up, they saw a mass of pitch-black Demonic Qi falling directly from the void.
After the illusory Demonic Qi surged for a while, it once again transformed into the appearance of the Nine Kings Hall. However, the current Nine Kings Hall looked quite different from before.
However, compared to the not-so-obvious change in aura, the Sword mark that ran through his entire handsome and bewitching face was insignificant.
Reaching out to touch the Sword mark on his face, a look of astonishment flashed across the Nine Kings Hall's face, and his gaze towards Lin Xuan was somewhat dazed.
He, the dignified Nine Kings Hall, had actually been defeated just now? Moreover, just like three years ago, he had been defeated by the same person?
No, how could this be?
Three years ago, a mere Nirvana Realm cultivator, in just three years, had actually been able to reach the Revolving Wheel Realm cultivation, and possessed powerful strength comparable to the Reincarnation Realm?
The Nine Kings Hall simply couldn't believe that Lin Xuan's strength would improve so quickly. Although Lin Xuan had shown some methods before, the Nine Kings Hall's attention was not on Lin Xuan at all. At most, he was just surprised that this young genius who should have died had miraculously survived.
But that was all. After all, who could have imagined that a person whose lifespan was exhausted and whose soul was empty would not only survive well, but also advance by leaps and bounds in cultivation?
Such talent and aptitude, even the most stunning Ice Master among the Ancient Eight Rulers could not achieve.
"Buzz!"
Under the Nine Kings Hall's gaze, a foot stepped out from the void. With just one step, an extremely powerful pressure spread out from above the void, directly sealing off the space around the Nine Kings Hall completely.
The heavy aura pressing on his shoulders made the Nine Kings Hall's eyes narrow. He glanced at the Darkness Ancestor Symbol controller and others who seemed to be wholeheartedly guarding the Ice Master and the Lord of Life and Death, and after sensing that Bo Xuan and the others had no intention of taking action, the Nine Kings Hall once again turned his gaze to Lin Xuan.
His gaze swept up and down, carefully examining him for a while, and then the Nine Kings Hall's eyes narrowed slightly. From Lin Xuan's body, he detected many familiar auras.
Among them, the most intense aura came from the Ancestral Stone, ranked second on the Ancient Divine Object List!
"It seems that the spirit of the Ancestral Stone saved you back then?"
The Nine Kings Hall sighed slightly in his heart. From this aura, he could guess a rough idea. Although Lin Xuan had many Divine Object auras on his body, the aura of the Ancestral Stone was the most intense, and only the Ancestral Stone had the ability to save him.
"I must also thank Your Excellency Nine Kings Hall for your generosity. If not for Your Excellency's gift of the Demon Emperor Armor, Lin Xuan would have died in this wasteland back then!"
Lin Xuan did not hide anything, and even took the initiative to tell him. After hearing Lin Xuan's words, the Nine Kings Hall's expression couldn't help but change, and he looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief.
Back then, the Nine Kings Hall had been robbed of the Demon Emperor Armor by the Ancestral Stone, but at that time, the Ancestral Stone was just a Divine Object with some divine power. The most important spirit of the Ancestral Stone was still in a deep sleep.
But now it seemed that back then, in order to kill Lin Xuan, the Demon Emperor Armor he sacrificed was obtained by the Ancestral Stone, which not only awakened the sleeping spirit of the Ancestral Stone, but also saved Lin Xuan, who was on the verge of death.
It could be said that if he had been directly sealed back then, or if he hadn't been so aggressive at the last moment, then Lin Xuan, whose life was almost exhausted, would have been doomed to die.
In this way, his current situation seemed to be caused by his own hands?
Thinking of this, the Nine Kings Hall couldn't help but feel a bit of regret in his heart, and there was even a hint of regret in his eyes when he looked at Lin Xuan.
Back then, if he hadn't been greedy, if he hadn't been so eager to spread the news, but had taken his time, he would have only had to wait for three years at most, and he could have sent the news back to the Demon Prison without much effort, waiting for the strong ones in the clan to come and rescue him.
It was a pity that he was too anxious back then, eager to leave this space. Being suppressed by the Devouring Ancestor Symbol for too long, he had lost the patience and composure that an Otherworldly Demon King Palace should have.
One wrong step leads to eternal regret!
"It's just a pity, if this Hall hadn't forced it back then, you would have already been a skeleton in the tomb."
The Nine Kings Hall couldn't help but sigh, and then, his hands also drooped slightly, as if he had given up resisting.
"Losing is losing. Being defeated by a peerless monster like you is worthy of this Hall's identity. However, don't be complacent. This Hall will wait for you to come down and accompany this Hall. When my clan's plan is completed and my Emperor is born, you, you, will all be buried with this Hall!"
As he said that, the Nine Kings Hall stretched out his hand and first pointed at Lin Xuan, and then, he pointed at Ying Huanhuan, as well as Jiang Yinyin and Bo Xuan, who had already fainted. As for the others, even the two Reincarnation Realm Grand Elders of the Darkness Hall, the Nine Kings Hall had never taken them seriously.
"Heh, a defeated opponent dares to be brave!"
Ying Huanhuan's Dai Eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she sneered. Just as she was about to retort, she saw Lin Xuan gently raise his hand, but he didn't say anything.
Fortunately, Jiang Yinyin, or rather, the Lord of Life and Death, was only temporarily disturbed by the Ice Master's Reincarnation Realm aura, and had not awakened. Otherwise, she would definitely have teased them.
In ancient times, who didn't know that the Ice Master not only played the power of profound ice with superb skill, but was also a piece of ten-thousand-year profound ice herself. When was she ever so obedient and talkative?
As for why Ying Huanhuan had already awakened the Reincarnation Seal, but the Lord of Life and Death was still asleep, and had not even shown a trace of awakening, this was also related to the state of the two when they entered Reincarnation Realm.
Back then, although the Ice Master was seriously injured and was sent into Reincarnation Realm by the Symbol Ancestor, the Ice Master's condition was much better than that of the Lord of Life and Death.
Although the Lord of Life and Death's injuries were not as serious as the Ice Master's at the time, after that battle, the Lord of Life and Death dragged her seriously injured body to heal several junior brothers and sisters, so that they could avoid entering Reincarnation Realm and fight for that glimmer of hope.
After all, the other Ancient Eight Rulers were different from the Ice Master. The Ice Master had the Symbol Ancestor burning Reincarnation Realm, using his last strength to protect her soul imprint, and entering Reincarnation Realm. It could be said that the success rate was almost 90% or more.
Even, if accidents were not considered, with the power erupted by the Symbol Ancestor burning Reincarnation Realm, plus the Ice Master who could survive the three tribulations together, it was impossible to be trapped by Reincarnation Realm, but only needed a suitable opportunity to awaken.
Therefore, in order to save the junior brothers and sisters, the eldest senior sister, the Lord of Life and Death, forcibly activated her own origin, stabilizing the injuries of the Flame Master, Thunder Master, Primordial Lord and others, only needing to fall into a deep sleep and use a long period of time to repair their injuries.
However, when it came to the Devouring Master, the Lord of Life and Death was already at the end of her rope.
Then, the Devouring Master, who was in a pretty good state, took the initiative to burn Reincarnation Realm, using his own power to send the Lord of Life and Death, who was already near death, into Reincarnation Realm, just like when the Eight Great Ancestor Symbols were born, the Devouring Ancestor Symbol took the initiative to nourish the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol, just like the junior brother who joined the sect later, personally teaching the junior sister and protecting the senior sister.
Perhaps, that was the destiny between the Devouring Ancestor Symbol and the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol.
This was also why the Lord of Life and Death and the Ice Master both entered Reincarnation Realm, but their states were vastly different.
"Is that so?"
Lin Xuan chuckled, and in his eyes, there was a cold light flickering, making the Nine Kings Hall feel inexplicably cold. This feeling was even stronger than when he faced the Ice Master in ancient times.
In the next instant, the Nine Kings Hall's pupils shrank, and almost subconsciously, a Demonic Qi palm directly turned into sharp claws, grabbing fiercely towards a certain place behind him.
"Buzz!"
Lin Xuan, who was originally standing in the void, disappeared with the spatial ripples. When he appeared again, he was already holding a sharp Sword, directly chopping down from behind the Nine Kings Hall.
Although the Nine Kings Hall relied on his experience as a veteran Reincarnation Realm expert and his powerful perception to detect Lin Xuan's movements, it was a pity that his claw still missed.
"Whoosh!"
The Sword light flashed by, unexpectedly avoiding the Nine Kings Hall's claw at an extremely tricky and strange angle, and then, it ruthlessly struck the Nine Kings Hall's back.
Another sword pierced his body, and on the back of the Nine Kings Hall, just like on his face, appeared a clearly visible sword mark. Because of the rampant Sword Qi, even the surging Demonic Qi couldn't erase the sword mark.
This kind of Sword Qi made the Nine Kings Hall's heart grow colder. He seemed to realize Lin Xuan's intention, an intention that made him shudder.
"I didn't expect that a peerless genius like you would also like to use such despicable means to launch sneak attacks from behind."
However, facing the verbal provocation of the Nine Kings Hall, Lin Xuan ignored him completely, his figure constantly flashing in space. Each appearance was accompanied by a sword light, and then, another sword mark would appear on the Nine Kings Hall's body.
As the sword marks continued to increase, the Nine Kings Hall's own aura rapidly decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, slowly falling from an aura comparable to the Revolving Wheel Realm to the Death Profound Realm, the Life Profound Realm...
"Whoosh!"
Another sword fell, and the Nine Kings Hall felt the energy fluctuations in his body had fallen to the Nirvana Realm, as well as the sharp Sword Qi hidden but not released within his body. The fear in his heart grew stronger.
"Heh, I can't tell, your nature is comparable to that of my Otherworldly Demon race. How about you join my Otherworldly Demon race? You only need to devour this Hall's Otherworldly Demonic Qi, and then you will be the new Nine Kings Hall. With your talent, once you completely control this Hall's power, you might be able to sit on the throne of the Heavenly King Hall!"
Enduring the pain that penetrated deep into his demon soul, the Nine Kings Hall grinned and tempted him. However, Lin Xuan ignored his words, his face indifferent as he swung his sword again and again. Under Lin Xuan's precise control, the power of each sword would not completely annihilate the Nine Kings Hall, while at the same time, it could continuously weaken the Nine Kings Hall's energy.
Looking at the constantly flashing sword light, Bo Xuan and the others in the distance couldn't help but feel a bit of worry and trepidation in their eyes.
Lin Xuan's means, which could be described as abuse, were too frightening. Even the means of the Otherworldly Demon race could not compare to his ruthlessness. Each sword penetrated deep into the soul, and no one in the world would want to experience that kind of stinging pain.
And seeing Lin Xuan entering this demonized state, Ying Xuanzi, the Primordial Hall Master, and others were a little worried. If something went wrong with Lin Xuan, it would be a huge crisis for the entire Eastern Xuan Region, or even the entire Tianxuan Continent.
"Huan Huan, should we..."
Ying Xuanzi opened his mouth softly, wanting to ask for his own daughter's opinion, who was also the second most important person in their alliance. However, Ying Huanhuan shook her head gently upon hearing this.
"He is very clear-headed. He is doing this because he wants the descendants of the Great Desolate Sect to personally settle this grievance."
While Ying Huanhuan spoke, she pointed to Jiang Xue, who was sitting cross-legged below the Creation Martial Tablet. At this time, although the energy fluctuations in Jiang Xue's body had not changed much, with Ying Huanhuan's perception, she could clearly detect that this space, or rather, the treasure that contained this space, had a few more special auras.
Obviously, the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet was recognizing its master, which meant that Jiang Xue had completed the inheritance of the power of Reincarnation Realm and was carrying out the final step. As long as the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet recognized its master, she would become the next Sect Master of the Great Desolate Sect after thousands of years!
As if to prove Ying Huanhuan's words, just as everyone looked over, the Creation Martial Tablet suddenly trembled. Immediately afterwards, rays of light bloomed and poured into Jiang Xue's body.
"Buzz!"
In the next moment, Jiang Xue's bright eyes suddenly opened, and an aura that had just reached the Creation Realm Peak descended upon the entire space with an extremely domineering attitude, even affecting Lin Xuan and the Nine Kings Hall.
Lin Xuan stood with his sword and looked at the Nine Kings Hall, whose strength was only at the Nirvana Realm. He did not continue to attack, but said softly.
"The grievances of the Great Desolate Sect should be settled by the descendants of the Great Desolate Sect!"
"You are not qualified to die under my sword!"
