I’ve waited long enough for you to walk into the trap—today, you’ll taste annihilation of body and spirit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fifth-realm cultivator, four fourth-realm cultivators, and this sealed array—facing a situation that would make even a fifth-realm cultivator panic, Lin Chen showed no trace of fear; instead, a cold smirk curled on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense had long sensed something unusual about the mountains: this array was hastily set up, imperfect, leaking traces of array energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing an array had been set up within the mountains, Lin Chen still chose to walk into the trap—this array blocked his retreat, but it also blocked the retreat of these Bahuang Domain cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The scenery here is quite nice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen spoke calmly, and in the confused gazes of Xi Zeliang and the other four, he smiled brightly: “You’ve chosen a fine graveyard for yourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arrogant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Zeliang erupted in rage—a fourth-realm cultivator dared to be so brazen before him! His aura surged, his body expanding like a giant roc spreading its wings, both palms unleashing terrifying power capable of shattering mountains, forming two colossal claws that descended like a sky-covering net to crush Lin Chen’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Xi Zeliang’s cataclysmic strike, Lin Chen’s eyes blazed with sharp light—he felt no fear. The Imperishable Scripture roared to life, his body glowing with endless golden radiance as he punched straight forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claws met the fist—the entire mountain range trembled, rocks shattered and sprayed in all directions, dust swirling thickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Zeliang’s pupils shrank—though dust obscured his vision, his spiritual sense confirmed: this man had blocked his attack without a single wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four fourth-realm cultivators maintaining the array smirked—Senior Xi had personally struck; this man was surely dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s all you’ve got, then it’s my turn now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the dust, Lin Chen’s cold voice rang out—next instant, the four cultivators maintaining the array hadn’t even reacted when a streak of golden light shot toward their own senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his first strike had failed to wound him, Xi Zeliang was stunned—but as a fifth-realm cultivator, how could he retreat before the insolent challenge of a fourth-realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Zeliang swung his palms, ancient energy surging as he unleashed the Bahuang Sect’s core technique: the Bahuang Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen met him with a palm strike—the Great Expansion Ten Thousand Forms Annihilation Palm—each palm strike radiating terrifying power that erased all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four fourth-realm cultivators of the Bahuang Domain watched the two battling figures; their earlier ease vanished. They couldn’t believe what they saw—Senior Xi and this man were evenly matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed, space cracked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though most of the blood came from the opponent, to the four, this man seemed utterly immune to pain—fighting fiercer with every clash, while Senior Xi’s aura had noticeably weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was this possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Xi was fifth-realm; this man was only fourth-realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps Senior Xi is holding back—don’t forget, Foundation Establishment cultivators fight with spiritual soul combat too. Senior Xi is just playing with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu spoke, and the other three nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, with his spiritual soul advantage from his higher realm, Senior Xi could simply unleash a spiritual soul attack and end this instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These men didn’t know that Xi Zeliang was growing more and more alarmed with every clash—he had already used spiritual soul attacks, yet they had zero effect on this man, meaning not only was his spiritual soul equal to Xi Zeliang’s, but he also possessed an extremely powerful spiritual soul defense technique.\u003C\u002Fp>",885,"2026-06-19T20:25:58.850Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fdcb37a77858b495900fd500709028fea817e2e426876fd8ef1a721eb071ea4a","rising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-chapter-552","rising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-chapter-550",591,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-cover.jpg"]
