248: The horror of Yuanshen Zhenren! Mu Yun was extremely shocked!

Outside Haoran Prefecture, at the city gate, Lu Xuan and Mu Yun stood steadily in the Void Realm.

At this moment, Haoran Prefecture was completely enveloped by a layer of thick, ink-like white mist.

At the same time, the white mist continuously emanated a bone-chilling cold, as if it could condense into a chilling frost at any moment.

Under the shroud of this biting cold white mist, even a Martial Artist with excellent eyesight would find it difficult to penetrate this dense white mist to clearly see the scene within the Fu City.

Mu Yun, dressed in a striking red Xuan Bird Guard uniform that seemed to be burning with flames, floated gracefully beside Lu Xuan, his hands casually clasped behind his back.

However, Mu Yun's face was filled with solemnity, and his eyes revealed a rare worry.

It had been a long time since he had encountered such powerful Yin Qi; the last time he faced a Heaven-disaster-level anomaly was over a hundred years ago.

One must know that at that time, the late emperor was still alive, and he was just an Earth-Grade Xuan Bird Guard!

“What dense Yin Qi!”

Mu Yun murmured, his voice betraying a hint of unconcealed alarm.

Beside him, Lu Xuan’s body slowly glowed with a faint purple radiance, a soft halo like rippling water.

These rippling waves spread out from Lu Xuan’s body into the surrounding space.

Immediately after, the Primordial Spirit power within Lu Xuan’s Divine Palace Realm surged like a awakened torrent, rushing and circulating within his body.

On the surface of Lu Xuan’s Physical Body, every inch of flesh and blood glowed like a river of light, emitting profound golden rays.

Finally, a wisp of condensed and pure Primordial Spirit power burst forth from the Divine Palace Realm, rapidly pouring into the Xufu Realm that Lu Xuan held before his chest.

In an instant, the Void Realm before Lu Xuan’s eyes seemed to be forcibly torn open by an invisible large hand, creating a rift.

Immediately, a massive, dark saber suddenly appeared, quietly suspended in front of Lu Xuan.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan slowly raised his right hand, his movements unhurried yet filled with the confidence of controlling everything.

Immediately after, Lu Xuan gripped tightly in the Void Realm with his five fingers, and the Nether Flame Dark Saber rapidly flew over with a sharp Aura, settling steadily into his palm.

After the Nether Flame Dark Saber landed in Lu Xuan’s hand, the mysterious patterns on the saber body suddenly radiated a dazzling dark glow.

Upon sensing the Heavenly Spiritual Objects Origin power within the Nether Flame Dark Saber, Lu Xuan did not rush to act.

Then, Lu Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful glint flashing in them, before slowly turning his head to look at Mu Yun beside him.

“Let’s go, Director Mu!”

Lu Xuan’s primary mission on this trip to Haoran Prefecture was not to directly confront and resolve this Heaven-disaster-level anomaly.

Instead, it was to have Mu Yun accompany him into Haoran Prefecture to verify the true nature of this anomalous object.

Moreover, Lu Xuan had not yet discerned whether the common people in the Fu City within Haoran Prefecture were alive or dead.

If not for these two reasons, given Lu Xuan’s temperament, he would have long since unleashed the Burning Heaven Blade Technique with full force outside the Fu City, leveling the entire Fu City!

Why would he, at this critical juncture, waste precious time and put himself in danger by entering the Hell within the city to search for the hidden Heaven-disaster-level anomaly?

Now, Lu Xuan, with the Seven-Pattern Moon Artifact, Nether Flame Dark Saber, and the fifth layer of the Burning Heaven Blade Technique, could effortlessly exert the power of Divine Palace Realm Perfection.

As for the Heaven-disaster-level anomaly in the city, as long as its strength did not exceed Divine Palace Realm Perfection, it would be a matter of a few saber strikes for Lu Xuan.

In a flash, Lu Xuan and Mu Yun’s bodies were tightly enveloped by an invisible force, like an indestructible shield, protecting them securely.

Subsequently, Lu Xuan took the lead, flying to the very front and crashing directly into the overwhelming, pale Yin Qi.

Seeing this, Mu Yun did not hesitate in the slightest, following closely behind Lu Xuan and also charging into the chilling white mist.

“Boom!”

With a dull thud, the Yin Qi shrouding the entire Haoran Prefecture was forcefully torn open.

Lu Xuan and Mu Yun, moving like lightning, swiftly flew through the torn opening in the Yin Qi and landed steadily within the Fu City.

As soon as he landed, Lu Xuan felt a decaying, eerie, and cold Aura rush towards him.

As far as the eye could see, the streets within the Fu City were deserted and eerily silent.

The surrounding houses were dilapidated from the erosion of the Yin Qi, with tiles and plaster peeling off.

It was as if this city had been forgotten by time, leaving behind only endless desolation and eeriness.

After witnessing the desolate scene before him, Lu Xuan’s eyes instantly burst forth with dazzling light.

The dense purple radiance emanating from his eyes seemed like a surging torrent from a broken dam.

Within this extremely brilliant purple light, there was even a scorching hot Aura intertwined.

This terrifying scorching Aura rapidly spread from Lu Xuan’s body like a raging wildfire.

In an instant, boundless purple light swept towards Haoran Prefecture.

The purple light was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at, like a massive, slowly burning sun rising.

What terrifying power!

“Is this the power of Lord Lu?” Mu Yun secretly exclaimed in his heart, his eyes wide.

Power comparable to a Nascent Soul True Person!

He stared intently at the surging purple light around Lu Xuan, his face filled with disbelief.

“What terrifying power!”

Lu Xuan did not move an inch, the terrifying power he released.

Just feeling it was enough to make Mu Yun’s breath catch.

Even his body began to tremble slightly under this powerful pressure.

Mu Yun subconsciously tightened his grip on the Qingming Sword, trying to find a trace of composure.

However, his hand also began to tremble slightly, completely unable to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

While Mu Yun was shocked, the purple light unleashed by Lu Xuan illuminated everything in its path that was originally lifeless and desolate.

In fact, what Mu Yun didn't know was that within the vast, surging purple radiance, Lu Xuan’s terrifying Primordial Spirit power was also intertwined.

The next instant, Lu Xuan’s scorching and extremely oppressive Primordial Spirit power, like an invisible yet tough large net, rapidly spread out with astonishing speed, completely covering the entire Fu City.

Just at this critical moment, from every corner of the Fu City, as if an invisible large hand had simultaneously gripped their lifelines, screams of agony suddenly erupted from all directions.

The sound was sharp and piercing, like the wails of vengeful spirits from the nine Hells, drilling directly into one’s eardrums and making one’s scalp tingle.

And under Lu Xuan’s gaze, the previously silent, empty, and lifeless houses suddenly spewed forth countless mysterious Black Shadows, as if by some eerie means.

These ink-black Black Shadows appeared extremely fast, filling the surroundings in the blink of an eye.

Upon closer inspection, each Black Shadow’s face displayed an extremely eerie appearance.

These were the myriad expressions of all living beings: joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, all appearing alternately without any pattern.

Compared to Lu Xuan's composure, Mu Yun's reaction was a world apart.

His eyes instantly froze, his gaze seemingly fixed by the sudden eerie scene, appearing dazed and lifeless.

The Gale Force that had been circulating within Mu Yun’s body now seemed to encounter an invisible dam, gradually slowing down until it completely stopped.

Mu Yun’s body trembled slightly, as if held firmly by an invisible force.

He could neither move an inch nor recover from this chilling sight.

“Oh?”

Lu Xuan suddenly turned, his eyes on Mu Yun, whose abnormal state was instantly captured by Lu Xuan.

Almost in an instant, Lu Xuan did not hesitate, and a wisp of condensed Primordial Spirit power shot out from his fingertip.

This wisp of Primordial Spirit power, like an unstoppable arrow of light, shot directly towards Mu Yun, then entered his body through his chest.

“Is this the Yin Underworld Power of Hell?”

The wisp of Lu Xuan’s Primordial Spirit power that entered Mu Yun’s body felt like stepping into a world of icy cold.

Mu Yun’s body was tightly blocked by a layer of mysterious, chilling black Qi, completely airtight.

At first glance, it looked like black airflow, but under Lu Xuan’s careful perception,

The extremely cold black airflow, its form actually resembled flowing black liquid, with a thick texture.

The black liquid was slowly wriggling within Mu Yun’s body in an extremely eerie manner.

Sometimes it snaked down Mu Yun’s arm, and other times it gathered and surged in his chest.

As if alive, it constantly changed shape, each movement emanating a chilling Aura that froze every inch of Mu Yun’s flesh and blood.

What shocked Lu Xuan even more was that the Gale Force within Mu Yun’s body, which was originally as scorching as a blazing fire, seemed to be on the verge of crystallizing into ice under the erosion of this Yin Underworld Power.

One must know that Mu Yun was no ordinary Outer Strength Grandmaster; his Gale Force contained a trace of Divine Thought power.

That was a half-step Divine Palace Realm existence.

In this bizarre Hell, Mu Yun, a Martial Artist at the half-step Divine Palace Realm, was infiltrated by the Yin Underworld Power upon a single encounter.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan’s incredibly powerful Primordial Spirit power, like an unstoppable ocean of flames, surged through Mu Yun’s body.

Wherever Lu Xuan’s Primordial Spirit power reached, the eerie and mysterious Yin Underworld Power dissipated rapidly, like melting snow under the scorching sun.

In just a moment, the Yin Underworld Power filling Mu Yun’s body was completely annihilated by Lu Xuan’s Primordial Spirit power with lightning speed, leaving no trace behind.

After Lu Xuan eliminated the Yin Underworld Power within Mu Yun’s body, his peripheral vision caught sight of the Black Shadows surging from all directions.

These bizarre shadows clawed and danced, carrying a chilling Aura, as if to devour Lu Xuan and Mu Yun.

For an ordinary Martial Artist, facing these overwhelming, seemingly endless Black Shadows, one would only feel as small as an ant.

In this powerless scenario, most people would have their thoughts of resistance instantly extinguished, leaving only despair and fear in their hearts.

But Lu Xuan was completely different; his eyes were fixed on the surging Black Shadows, and a difficult-to-suppress excitement and thrill gradually appeared on his calm face.

In Lu Xuan’s eyes, these countless eerie Black Shadows were not a fatal threat at all, but rather gleaming System points.

As long as he eliminated them one by one, Lu Xuan would gain a massive amount of System points.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan’s Aura surged, the muscles in his right hand, holding the Nether Flame Dark Saber, tensed, and veins bulged.

Then, Lu Xuan swung violently around him, shouting, “Burning Heaven!”

Instantly, the blade of the Nether Flame Dark Saber erupted with profound, dark black flames.

These black flames were thick like ink, carrying an endless scorching Aura, surging forth with overwhelming force.

Immediately after, a trace of purple flame, radiating extreme high temperature, quietly appeared on the blade.

The purple flame moved agilely, rapidly intertwining with the dark black flames.

The two different flames intertwined and fused, transforming into a magnificent black-purple flame Dragon.

The black-purple flame Dragon first circled and danced around Lu Xuan and Mu Yun, firmly protecting them within.

Then, the black-purple flame Dragon let out a long roar towards the sky, and with an unstoppable Aura, it swiftly swept towards the overwhelming Black Shadows.

Upon nearing the shadows, the black-purple flame Dragon instantly dispersed, transforming into a monstrous black-purple wave of flames.

Wherever the black-purple flame wave passed, the air was instantly ignited, emitting crackling sounds, and with overwhelming force, it incinerated all Black Shadows blocking its path into nothingness.

The endless Black Shadows screamed in agony within this terrifying black-purple sea of fire.

In a moment, the Black Shadows dissipated one after another, turning into wisps of green smoke and vanishing into the world, which was now dyed red by the black-purple firelight.

In just a dozen breaths, the overwhelming, countless waves of Black Shadows seemed to gain intelligence.

They seemed to sense impending doom and frantically fled in the direction away from the terrifying black-purple sea of fire.

Immediately after, the Black Shadows that had fortunately survived the black-purple sea of fire seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, flying towards the sky.

Their speed was extremely fast; they quickly gathered in the air, merging and condensing together.

In the blink of an eye, an enormous face suddenly appeared in the sky, its size nearly occupying half of the city.

This face was flawless, exquisitely beautiful, yet its skin was as white as ice and snow, completely bloodless.

Indeed, it was a woman’s face, with well-defined features but an indescribable eeriness.

Her cold eyes were hollow and lifeless, looking down below, as if to draw all things into endless desolation.

Lu Xuan ignored her and quickly checked the System panel deep in his mind.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Divine Abode True Person (Major Achievement)

Cultivation Technique: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 5/9, Close Distance to the Horizon 2/9, Undying and Unextinguished 4/9 (Can be deduced)

Points: 77660

Please confirm whether to consume 50000 System points to deduce Undying and Unextinguished!

Lu Xuan rejoiced inwardly; he hadn't expected that a casual strike just now would earn him thirty thousand System points.

Good heavens!

This was equivalent to the System points Lu Xuan would gain from refining a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects.

Just as Lu Xuan was checking his System points, Mu Yun cried out in alarm at that moment!

“Lord Lu!”

Immediately after, Mu Yun urgently shouted, “That woman up there, she’s not Princess Xingyue!”

“She’s the personal maidservant that the late emperor bestowed upon Princess Xingyue!”

Mu Yun was no simple character; he naturally understood the terrifying implications behind this.

Princess Xingyue’s personal maidservant was dead, which meant that something had happened to Princess Xingyue!
