Chapter 198: Mu Lingxi vs Lin Yichen

Two figures stood on the left and right, positioned on either side of Mu Lingxi.

The two looked almost identical to Mu Lingxi.

It was just that one was older and one was younger, one mature, one youthful.

It was as if they were two different age stages of Mu Lingxi.

Seeing this scene.

Lin Yichen raised an eyebrow, then gave a faint smile.

"I didn't expect you to have practiced an avatar technique. Good, good, I am increasingly satisfied with you as a Dao Companion."

"Come, let me witness your true strength."

Saying this, he confidently beckoned to Mu Lingxi with his palm.

"Then you had better open your eyes wide and watch."

Mu Lingxi's main body stood in the center of the three figures, her expression cold as she spoke.

No sooner had her voice fallen than an invisible force suddenly surged from the future-self standing on the left—the beautiful young woman version of Mu Lingxi—and merged into the Ice and Snow Domain.

In an instant, a wind began to blow within the Ice and Snow Domain.

This wind was very light, yet it was everywhere, filling every corner of the Ice and Snow Domain.

With the appearance of this wind, the power of the Ice and Snow Domain increased sharply.

The area of the domain that had originally been suppressed by Lin Yichen immediately began to expand, eventually reaching a level nearly equal to Lin Yichen's domain.

"This is..."

Seeing this scene, the expression on Lin Yichen's face, which had always been incomparably confident, finally changed.

He looked at Mu Lingxi, his expression one of astonishment.

"Your avatars can actually unleash a Dao Domain!!"

As the person battling Mu Lingxi, her feelings were the most obvious.

Just a moment ago, a wind-attribute Dao Domain had clearly merged into the Ice and Snow Domain.

It had greatly increased the power of the Ice and Snow Domain, allowing it to shake off his domain's suppression and form a stalemate with his own!

That an avatar could unleash a Dao Domain was simply unheard of.

What kind of avatar technique had she practiced?

It was actually this miraculous!

Thinking of this, he could not help but look toward the "young girl version avatar" on Mu Lingxi's right.

His heart gave a violent leap.

Since the other avatar could unleash a Dao Domain, what about this one?

The very instant this thought appeared.

A sound of "crackle" suddenly reached his ears.

He subconsciously looked up, then discovered that within Mu Lingxi's domain, a large amount of lightning as thin as hair had appeared at some unknown time.

These lightning bolts wandered through the domain like spirit snakes.

Before he could react, a massive oppressive force suddenly surged toward him.

Mu Lingxi's domain expanded rapidly, while Lin Yichen's domain shrank rapidly under the pressure of her domain, eventually leaving only an area less than three zhang in diameter.

"Sure enough, both of her avatars can unleash a Dao Domain and merge them with her own!"

"This is troublesome..."

Lin Yichen looked at the domain around him where wind, thunder, and snow were intertwined, and a sense of unprecedented pressure suddenly welled up in his heart.

Three Dao Domains would be one thing.

But one of the domains was actually the rare thunder attribute!

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the situation seemed to be spiraling out of control.

The strength of the woman before him completely exceeded his expectations.

Today's battle might be the most dangerous one he had faced since entering the Assessment Secret Realm.

If he were the least bit careless, he feared he would be in mortal danger!

Thinking of this, the frivolous look on his face had already vanished, replaced by an unprecedented gravity.

He took a deep breath and slammed his palms together.

"Spirit Devouring Great Art!"

Following his low shout.

The ten spirit servants around him simultaneously let out shrill, inhuman cries, then with a 'bang', exploded into ten clusters of black mist.

Immediately after, the mist was drawn in and surged rapidly into his body.

His aura climbed instantly, far surpassing the boundary of the Golden Core Stage Perfection, to the point where it was not inferior even to some Cultivators who had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage.

He looked at Mu Lingxi.

Surrounded by black lacquer, a cold light flickered in his eyes.

"I must admit, your strength exceeded Lin's expectations, actually being able to force Lin to use a Forbidden Technique and sacrifice spirit servants."

"I won't hide it from you: before entering the Assessment Secret Realm, Lin once used this technique to defeat a Cultivator who had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage."

"Now, years later, Lin's cultivation has advanced further; after using this technique, even facing some veteran Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators, I am capable of a fight."

"Are you..."

"Sure you still want to put up a desperate struggle?"

Hearing Lin Yichen's words, Mu Lingxi gave a disdainful smile, "It is merely Nascent Soul-level combat power gained briefly by relying on a secret technique."

"Not to mention that this combat power of yours cannot last, even if you could use it without limit, so what?"

As she spoke, the future self standing to her left pointed forward.

Without any warning, a gale whipped up around Lin Yichen.

This gale spun at extreme speed, forming a massive tornado in an instant; by the time Lin Yichen reacted, he was already trapped within it.

Immediately following, countless tiny wind blades swept out, instantly filling every inch of space inside the tornado.

Lin Yichen's expression changed, and his body shuddered.

A dense black current of Qi swirled out, transforming into a rapidly rotating black-Qi defense outside his body.

It blocked all of the wind blades.

"Disperse!"

He let out a cold snort, shaking the Dao Domain with his powerful cultivation.

The Domain Power spread outward, instantly shattering the tornado that had been shrouding him.

Before he could even catch his breath, a crackling sound suddenly came from above his head.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket suddenly struck down from the sky.

Boom~

The next moment, his entire person was submerged within the lightning.

A dazzling light flared up instantly.

The onlookers were forced to avert their gazes.

When the light faded, the crowd looked over once more.

They discovered that Lin Yichen, who had been like a god or a demon just a moment ago, was now disheveled, his clothes in tatters, looking extremely wretched.

Seeing this scene, the crowd was left dumbfounded.

Lin Yichen, the invincible super powerhouse of Shenmu City.

After revealing his Dao Domain and erupting with strength far exceeding his usual level, he had actually still been beaten into such a wretched state.

This woman is actually this powerful!!!

Feeling the gazes cast from all around, Lin Yichen's expression turned gloomy.

Those gazes, filled with astonishment and surprise, felt like slaps landing hard on his face, making him feel unprecedented humiliation.

He looked at Mu Lingxi, a ferocious look appearing on his face.

"Bitch!"

"I had intended to spare your life, but since you are seeking your own death, then go to hell!"

Before his voice had even faded, rolling black Qi suddenly surged from his body.

The continuously surging black Qi gathered above his head, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into the shape of a ferocious skull.

The moment the black-Qi skull formed, he pointed at it.

The Dao Domain outside his body instantly turned into a beam of black light, surging into the black-Qi skull.

The might of the black-Qi skull surged instantly, and the rolling black Qi permeated the air like wolf-smoke, dyeing half the sky black.

It opened its massive maw and lunged toward Mu Lingxi to devour her.

Those ferocious fangs were vivid and lifelike.
