72: Shadow Explosion? His heart was shattered.
“A replica?!”
Everyone else’s attention was elsewhere, but Li Yan alone caught a crucial piece of information.
The blood glass treasure lotus lantern in his hand was actually a replica?
The treasure lotus lamp he was holding now was the blood glass treasure lotus lantern that had been placed in the Sect’s armory in Broken Sword Valley.
And thinking about it, how could a treasure like a Sacred Artifact of a Sect be placed so casually in the Sect’s armory?
Upon closer thought, he had indeed taken out a replica from Broken Sword Valley.
The real blood glass treasure lotus lantern in reality was probably hidden in some deeper corner.
If even the replica was so powerful, what about the effect of the genuine item? Li Yan couldn’t imagine.
How could he get the real blood glass treasure lotus lantern?
For Li Yan to find Broken Sword Valley now, it was obviously impossible.
Broken Sword Valley in the real world only appeared once a year, and the mist gate connecting to Broken Sword Valley appeared randomly in a certain mountain.
To find the Broken Sword Valley Secret Realm, one not only had to wait a year, but also depend on luck for where the mist gate would appear.
But what a coincidence!
The illusion Li Yan was currently in was the Demon Shadow Sect from tens of thousands of years ago!
Although it was an illusion, with the side effect System turning true, what was fake could become real.
Furthermore, in this illusion, Li Yan was immortal and indestructible, fearless of any attack.
If he took the true Sacred Artifact, the treasure lotus lamp, from the illusion, and its effect turned true, it would be like a true Buddha appearing in the Western Paradise, and a Six-Eared Macaque could also become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
After clarifying his thoughts, Li Yan turned his gaze to the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect.
The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect had not yet brought out his Magical Artifact, so the Sacred Artifact, the treasure lotus lamp, must be in his hand.
If he could force the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect to use his true abilities and summon the real blood glass treasure lotus lantern, then he would have a chance to obtain that real blood glass treasure lotus lantern.
Thinking of this, Li Yan, ignoring everyone’s surprise, assumed the Moon Essence Stance.
Including him, there were thirty-seven black shadows, all facing off against the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect.
The disheveled Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect narrowed his eyes, appearing calm on the surface.
But a storm had already brewed in the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect’s heart; he fell into deep thought.
“Why does this kid use my Shadow Spell?”
“And the Magical Artifact in his hand is also a replica of my Sect’s Sacred Artifact.”
“Who exactly is this person?”
The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect felt a mixture of emotions in his heart; he put away his smile, his face stern as he stared intently at Li Yan.
This multi-shadow Clone technique was only mastered by the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect and a few Personal Disciples; the rest of the disciples could only control one shadow.
It could be said that the multi-shadow Clone technique was the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect’s signature skill, which only Personal Disciples could learn.
“This child is very strange…”
The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect put away his playful attitude, his tone carrying an unspoken authority.
“Kid, where did you learn that Spell?”
Li Yan’s mouth curved up: “If I say I’m self-taught, would you believe it?”
Anyway, even if he told them that he had Transmigrated from the Age of Dharma Decline tens of thousands of years later through an illusion and the side effect turning true.
Would they believe it?
Whether the illusion was real or fake was uncertain.
Li Yan didn’t care about their thoughts; his eyes only held a longing for the Sacred Artifact.
Feigning profoundness, he deliberately wanted to pique the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect’s curiosity, forcing him to summon the real blood glass treasure lotus lantern.
But the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect obviously wouldn’t easily reveal his signature skill.
As a Sect Master, facing a Golden Core Stage Li Yan, he still needed to save face.
A fierce glint flashed in the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect’s eyes: “Kid, I will destroy you in minutes, and then use your Soul to create a shadow puppet!”
If others heard the threat of a Great Ascension Stage Cultivator, they would have long been scared out of their wits.
But Li Yan became even more excited when he heard this: “Oh? I heard another novel Spell, could you teach it to me?”
Li Yan’s arrogance even puzzled the Moonlit Sword Immortal.
“Young man, if you anger that Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect, I won’t be able to protect you!”
Even in a duel between powerful Cultivators, one still had to avoid the opponent’s sharp edge.
No matter how strong the Sword Immortal was, she couldn’t possibly withstand the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect’s Shadow Spell for a Loose Cultivator.
But Li Yan smiled and said very politely.
“Fairy, I don’t need protection.”
“To be honest, I’m looking forward to seeing what new Spells the Sect Master of Demon Shadow Sect will use against me.”
Li Yan wouldn’t miss any opportunity to secretly learn Spells; the Spells of a Great Ascension Stage Immortal in the Immortal Law era must not be missed.
The Sword Immortal’s expression stiffened; she said angrily: “I cherish talent, and seeing that you are a Righteous Path Cultivator, I wanted to save you. You should take care of yourself!”
Li Yan’s words not only angered Onyx Moon Fairy.
Even the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect opposite him was amused by Li Yan.
Indeed, when people are extremely enraged, they can’t help but laugh.
With a loud laugh, the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect immediately formed hand seals, and his black and red long robe billowed without wind!
His sleeves rustled, and the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect, without chanting, conjured tens of thousands of demon shadows out of thin air.
Countless black shadows rose from the ground, like dark explosive bombs, blasting towards Li Yan!
Onyx Moon Fairy’s heart tightened: “Shadow Explosion Technique? Not good!”
The Sword Immortal’s feathered robes fluttered, and her figure vanished from the spot, leaving only Li Yan.
And opposite Li Yan, tens of thousands of shadows were attacking.
Tens of thousands of demon shadows leaped high, striking Li Yan with a palm technique from the sky.
And when countless black shadows crashed down, they brought terrifying vibrations.
The black smoke produced by the vibrations directly engulfed Li Yan’s figure, and the mountain he was on was directly blasted into a deep pit ten thousand feet deep.
The entire tall mountain was instantly obliterated, and the impact from the vibrations scattered the surrounding Cultivators.
Many Cultivators who were watching the excitement couldn’t dodge in time and were struck by the vibrations, spitting out fresh blood, their internal organs churning with blood Qi.
If the onlookers were still shaken with internal injuries, wouldn’t Li Yan, at the center of the explosion, not even have ashes left?
A series of tremors caused the entire area to shake, and it wasn’t until the explosion ended that countless injured onlookers, still with lingering fears, crawled up.
And in the arena, besides the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect and the Sword Immortal, Ember Immortal was the strongest.
She was the only Great Ascension Stage Cultivator among the audience, and she could directly feel the impact of the explosion up close.
“Shadow Old Demon’s Shadow Explosion Technique is truly terrifying; today I’ve finally had my eyes opened.”
“To be able to see a Great Ascension Stage Devil Head use thirty percent of his power is also worth this trip.”
Ember Immortal was commenting from the side, gaining new insights into Cultivation in her heart.
The fastest way for a Cultivator to grow was nothing more than actual combat and observation.
Watching duels between powerful Cultivators was ten thousand times better than cultivating in solitude.
Ember Immortal, holding a purple-gold saber, looked at the ten-thousand-foot deep pit that had been blasted out.
“That arrogant kid, is he dead?”
The entire mountain was covered by black smoke, obscuring vision, and the magnificent mountain that had just been there had turned into a ten-thousand-foot deep pit.
Just when everyone thought that Li Yan, this Golden Core Stage Cultivator, had been blown to dust.
Li Yan’s voice came from the bottom of the deep pit.
“Not bad, not bad, I’ve learned another new Spell.”
“Thank you, Sect Master, for the Spell! Thanks.”
When Li Yan floated back to the ground with a calm expression, the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect’s Dao Heart was shattered!
