Facing five Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators, over twenty Nascent Soul early and mid-stage cultivators, and a clearly extraordinary sealing array, he actually dared to call them \"worthless rabble\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This arrogance left True Person Guigu, Zhao Song, and the other ambushers stunned for a moment, before they erupted into thunderous, mocking laughter and killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The brat is courting death!\" The Nether Sect Elder holding the Soul-Summoning Banner, having the most violent temper, let out a sharp shout. As he shook the soul banner in his hand, icy winds howled instantly, and countless ferocious ghosts and vengeful spirits poured out from the banner like a black tide, emitting ear-piercing shrieks as they swarmed toward Lin Xuan, covering the sky! These ghosts, refined through secret arts, not only devoured flesh and blood but could also defile magic treasures and erode spiritual sense, possessing astonishing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, another Nether Sect Elder, whose body was wreathed in poisonous mist, also struck quietly. He opened his mouth and spat out a formless, yet sweet and fishy-smelling, highly toxic miasma that spread out, silently corroding the air; even the dark blue light curtain of the array emitted a \"hissing\" sound, with its target aimed directly at Lin Xuan and the team behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Guigu, along with Zhao Song and his companions, locked their spiritual energy tightly onto Leng Feng, Ye Chen, and the others to prevent them from offering aid. In their view, the combined strike of two Nascent Soul late-stage Elders was enough to instantly cripple or even kill this ignorant, overconfident brat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Lin, watch out!\" Leng Feng shouted, his Demon-Suppressing Blade glowing with intense blood-red light as he prepared to intervene at all costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen transformed into a bolt of lightning, his thunder sword intent surging as he sought to cleave through the ghost tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Xuan’s movements were faster than theirs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the tide of ferocious ghosts and formless toxic miasma that would have sent an ordinary Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator into a panic, he did not even use any magic treasure. He merely raised his right hand slightly, palm upward, as if cradling something invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within his dantian, the Chaos Dao Seed, which had fused with the star core, gave a slight tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, with Lin Xuan as the center, the scene within a hundred-foot radius of the void changed abruptly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no longer the lush greenery of the vast mountain range, nor the dark blue of the array’s light curtain. Instead, it was as if it had instantly transformed into a corner of the cosmic starry sky! Countless tiny, cold starlight points appeared out of thin air, like the stars of a summer night, yet carrying a stillness and coldness that could freeze the soul. Furthermore, wisps of Nether energy, as if originating from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds, intertwined and coiled with those starlight points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star-Nether Light Domain—first appearance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a simple spell, but a higher-level application of his own power after Lin Xuan fused with the star core and comprehended the fragments of the \"Great Circle Star Scripture\"; it was the initial manifestation of Dao rhyme, the prototype of a domain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surging tide of ferocious ghosts, once it entered this Star-Nether domain, felt as if it had fallen into an invisible quagmire, its speed dropping sharply. The moment the thick ghost energy and resentment on their bodies touched those cold starlight points, it was as if they had encountered their nemesis, emitting \"hissing\" sounds as they rapidly dissolved and were purified! Those ferocious ghost faces revealed expressions of extreme terror, emitting silent wails before their forms collapsed, turning into pure Yin energy that was quietly absorbed and assimilated by the Nether energy within the domain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the formless, highly toxic miasma, once it invaded the domain, it was directly frozen and decomposed by the absolute \"stillness\" and \"sealing\" Dao rhyme, ultimately turning into nothingness, failing to even approach within ten feet of Lin Xuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mere gesture, the angry strikes of two Nascent Soul late-stage Elders vanished into thin air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grimaces and killing intent on the faces of True Person Guigu, Zhao Song, and the others froze instantly, replaced by boundless shock and disbelief! They simply doubted their own eyes! What kind of divine ability was this? A domain?! How could a Nascent Soul cultivator possibly manifest a domain?! Even if it was only a prototype, it was enough to overturn their understanding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Feng, Ye Chen, and the others also halted their rescue attempts, staring dumbfounded at that Star-Nether void that seemed to exist independently of the world, feeling the vastness and deathly stillness contained within, their hearts stirred by turbulent waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His strength... has improved again!\" Ye Chen muttered to himself, his knuckles turning white from the force of gripping his sword, yet the battle intent in his eyes burned to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone was stunned by this Star-Nether domain, Lin Xuan moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed his fingers like a sword, aiming across the air at the Nether Sect Elder holding the Soul-Summoning Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star-Nether... Finger!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A finger-force, condensed to the extreme, gray-colored, and seemingly compressed from countless miniature stars and Nether death energy, shot out silently. It ignored the distance of space, appearing directly before that Elder’s brow as if it had leaped through it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Elder was terrified out of his wits, frantically driving the Soul-Summoning Banner to block in front of him, as countless ghost shadows condensed into a shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was useless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the finger-force touched it, the ghost shield shattered like paper; the Soul-Summoning Banner, an extraordinary magic treasure, let out a mournful cry, its spiritual light instantly dimming as countless cracks appeared upon it! The finger-force continued unabated, instantly piercing into his brow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder’s body stiffened violently, his eyes bulging, the luster in his pupils rapidly dimming and extinguishing. The aura around his body flowed away rapidly like a punctured ball, and he fell straight down from the sky; before he even hit the ground, his life force had been severed, and even his Nascent Soul had failed to escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One finger, a Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator, fallen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence! A deathly silence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was so terrified by this horrific scene that their livers and gallbladders were split!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s your turn.\" Lin Xuan’s gaze turned toward the Elder who had released the toxic miasma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Elder was scared out of his soul, the poisonous mist around him surging violently as he retreated rapidly, wanting to merge back into the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan uttered a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the Star-Nether domain contracted instantly, like an invisible giant hand, forcibly imprisoning the retreating Elder along with the poisonous mist around him in mid-air! No matter how he struggled, or how his Nascent Soul late-stage spiritual power erupted, he could not break free from the shackles containing the power of star suppression and Nether sealing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan raised his hand again, this time not using his finger, but pressing down lightly with his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stillness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the domain, endless starlight points and Nether death energy seemed to have received a summons, frantically gathering and compressing toward the imprisoned Elder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!! Senior Brother Guigu, save me!!\" The Elder let out a desperate roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Guigu’s eyes were splitting with rage; he wanted to rescue him, but as Lin Xuan’s icy gaze swept over him, a chill shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, actually making him afraid to act rashly for a moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, that Nascent Soul late-stage toxic miasma Elder, along with his protective poisonous mist, was completely submerged and annihilated by the gathered Star-Nether power! No trace was left behind, as if he had never existed in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator, fallen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Lin Xuan deployed his domain to the consecutive instant kills of two Nascent Soul late-stage Elders, it had been but a few short breaths of time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This destructive, near-crushing terrifying strength completely shattered the psychological defenses of the ambushers. Those Nascent Soul early and mid-stage cultivators who were maintaining the array were pale-faced, trembling all over, and almost unable to hold the array flags in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Song and his companions were even more terrified out of their wits; their previous spite and smugness had long since been replaced by boundless fear. They finally understood what a terrifying existence they had provoked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monster... he is a monster! Run!\" Zhao Song screamed, no longer caring about anything else, turning around and attempting to tear through the array to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to leave now? It’s too late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s icy voice was like a soul-reaping demon’s call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer paid attention to the demoralized True Person Guigu, his gaze locked onto Zhao Song and his companion. He held his hands in a hollow embrace, and the Star-Nether domain expanded once more, enveloping the two as they attempted to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star-Nether... Thunder Prison!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a low shout, actually integrating a trace of the thunder intent he had comprehended into this Star-Nether domain! Within the domain, between those cold starlight points, countless fine, gray-colored, eerie thunderbolts suddenly burst forth! These thunderbolts not only possessed the violent destructive power of thunder but also contained the suppression of stars and the deathly stillness of the Netherworld!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his initial attempt at fusing a new technique with what he had learned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray thunderbolts, like countless venomous snakes, instantly coiled around Zhao Song and his companion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely shrill screams rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The protective magic treasures of Zhao Song and his companion shattered like toys under the gray thunderbolts, their physical bodies instantly charred by electricity, and even as their Nascent Souls just escaped, they were directly struck apart by the thunder containing the Dao rhyme of stillness, their forms and spirits destroyed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, of the five Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators, four were gone! Only True Person Guigu remained, his heart trembling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan slowly turned around, looking at the ashen-faced True Person Guigu and those Nascent Soul early and mid-stage cultivators who had already collapsed and were scattering in an attempt to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The array, let it be broken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said calmly, not even striking; he merely moved his mind, and the power of the Star-Nether domain vibrated slightly, making contact with the dark blue light curtain of the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack... Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sealing array, having lost the confidence of its main operators and most of its node maintenance, shattered with a roar under the vibration of this domain containing high-level law power, like fragile glass! It turned into dark blue light spots like fireflies in the sky and dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight shone down once more, yet it could not brighten the coldness and despair in the hearts of True Person Guigu and the remaining ambushers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Guigu looked at Lin Xuan, who seemed like a god or demon descended to the world, a \"gurgling\" sound coming from his throat, which finally turned into a roar filled with unwillingness and fear; he violently burned his essence blood, transforming into a nearly transparent shadow, and fled toward the horizon at a speed far exceeding his previous best, as if his life depended on it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not even dare to leave behind a single harsh word!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan did not pursue, merely watching the direction in which he fled coldly. Do not pursue a desperate foe; besides, he needed someone to bring the news of today’s battle back, so that the Nether Sect and the Zhao family would weigh things carefully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over the remaining ambushers who were slumped on the ground or acting like wooden chickens, and he did not kill them all. These ants were no longer worth worrying about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star-Nether domain slowly receded, and Lin Xuan’s aura returned to calm, as if he were not the peerless, murderous figure who had just slain four Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around, looked at Leng Feng, Ye Chen, and the others behind him who were still in a state of shock and speechlessness, and smiled slightly, light and breezy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The trouble is resolved, let’s go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2089,"2026-06-20T01:44:26.720Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b3c22fb9c60ed81f3a2e66fe9e576d4015854ab8848f2db4e8ec4b0b2e73942e","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-87","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-85",182,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-villain-is-too-self-destructive-cover.jpg"]
