Chapter 610: Awakening of Memories, Taboo Divine Ability
"Hun Dun Demon Blade!" A shocking voice came from within Lin Xuan's soul, "That is the sword Nitian Mozun carried during the Primordial period!"
The Hun Dun Demon Blade, the head of the ten great fierce weapons of the Primordial period, was forged from the origin of chaos. Its sharpness is sufficient to sever time and space; it is a true weapon of slaughter. Legend has it that this demon sword once slew several Primordial gods and was Nitian Mozun's most prized weapon.
During the Primordial War, the Hun Dun Demon Blade and Nitian Mozun were sealed together; it is unexpected that it has reappeared here. It seems the extent of Nitian Mozun's recovery is far more severe than anyone anticipated.
"What should we do?" Xiao Yuan hesitated, "With our current strength, I fear we are no match for this clone, let alone with the Hun Dun Demon Blade in its hands."
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, a resolute light flashing in his eyes: "No matter how dangerous, we must try. If we let this clone continue to direct the battle, the Coalition Army will undoubtedly be defeated. And..."
He paused, then continued: "I noticed this clone seems to be focused on directing the battle, with its attention entirely on the battlefield map. If we can launch a sudden attack, perhaps we have a chance to severely wound it."
Indeed, the Black-robed Man was currently studying the battlefield map carefully, moving pieces from time to time, clearly formulating new tactics. Its entire attention was on the front-line situation; it seemed not to have noticed anyone sneaking in.
"Now is the time!" Lin Xuan made his decision, "Let us strike together and aim for a kill in one blow!"
The two quickly leaped out from the ventilation duct, simultaneously unleashing their strongest attack skills. Lin Xuan formed seals with his hands, and the golden light of the Taiji Lun Hui instantly filled the entire room; Xiao Yuan unleashed the Purifying World Divine Light, the silver light piercing toward the Black-robed Man's back like a sharp sword.
The gold and silver lights intertwined and merged in the air, forming the brand-new combined technique they had created at the Taichu Shengdi—the Taiji Purifying World Array. This strike condensed their full power and was sufficient to severely wound a Quasi-Saint level powerhouse.
However, at the very moment the attack was about to strike the target, the Black-robed Man suddenly turned around.
"Immortal Lord Taichu, Fairy of Purifying World," an eerie voice came from under the hood, "Welcome to the burial ground this Venerable One has prepared for you."
That voice was filled with mockery and triumph; clearly, the Black-robed Man had known of their presence all along, and the previous focused directing was entirely an act, intended to lure them into revealing themselves.
Even more shocking was that when the Black-robed Man slowly removed the hood, it revealed a face that was familiar yet extremely evil. It was a face almost identical to Lin Xuan's, only the eyes were filled with evil and madness, and a cruel smile hung at the corners of its mouth.
"This is... my face?" Lin Xuan was stunned when he saw this face.
"Hehehe, surprised?" the Black-robed Man let out an eerie laugh, "This is the perfect clone created by this Venerable One based on your memories and soul imprint. It not only possesses your appearance but also masters all your memories and skills."
As soon as the words fell, the Black-robed Man grabbed toward the Hun Dun Demon Blade with one hand. The demon sword instantly flew into its hand, the runes on the sword body began to squirm crazily, emitting a terrifying, world-destroying killing intent.
"Now, let this Venerable One verify whether the original is stronger, or the improved version is stronger!"
The Black-robed Man swung the sword toward the Taiji Purifying World Array still in the air; the sword light of the Hun Dun Demon Blade swept across, and the combined technique Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan were so proud of was actually cut in two by a single sword strike!
Seeing their meticulously prepared combined technique shattered by a single sword strike, both Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan felt an unprecedented shock. The strength of this Black-robed Fenshen was indeed far beyond imagination, and even more terrifying was the Hun Dun Demon Blade in its hand; that horrific power capable of severing everything made one feel despair.
"We cannot be overwhelmed by its momentum!" Lin Xuan forced himself to calm down, "We shall unleash the improved version of the Taiji Purifying World Array!"
The two quickly adjusted their positions and began to set up a more complex Array. This Array was fundamentally different from the previous one; it was no longer a purely offensive Array, but a comprehensive one that integrated trapping, attacking, and defending.
The gold and silver divine light began to outline complex patterns in the air, countless rays of light intertwining to form a three-dimensional Array network. These rays were not only beautiful but also contained the profound Primordial Dao, each one representing a certain fundamental law of the universe.
"Taiji Purifying World Array, Ten Thousand Laws Return to One!"
The massive Array took shape instantly, shrouding the entire command center within it. The gold and silver intertwined light surged toward the Black-robed Fenshen like a tide, attempting to trap it completely.
However, facing such a powerful Array, the Black-robed Fenshen merely sneered.
"An interesting improvement, but it still hasn't escaped the framework of the Primordial period," the Fenshen brandished the Hun Dun Demon Blade, "Let this Venerable One show you what true power is!"
The Hun Dun Demon Blade drew a perfect arc in the Fenshen's hand, the pitch-black sword light like lightning tearing through the night sky, instantly slashing toward a node of the Array. This strike appeared ordinary, but the power it contained was terrifying to the extreme; wherever the sword light passed, even space was torn into a pitch-black rift.
"Crack!"
A corner of the Array was instantly severed, and the gold and silver intertwined light net began to show cracks. Yet this was only the beginning; the demon sword in the Fenshen's hand danced like a storm, each strike accurately hitting the weak points of the Array.
"Second strike, break! Third strike, shatter! Fourth strike, annihilate!"
Following the Fenshen's continuous attacks, the Taiji Purifying World Array began to collapse on a large scale. Those rays of light, originally as tough as steel, were as fragile as spider silk before the Hun Dun Demon Blade and were easily severed.
What shocked Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan even more was that in the process of breaking the Array, the Fenshen actually began to imitate their divine abilities.
"Taiji Lun Hui, nothing more than this!" The Fenshen formed a seal with its left hand, and a black Taiji Pattern emerged before it, but this Taiji Diagram was completely different from Lin Xuan's version, emitting an aura of destruction and chaos.
"Purifying World Divine Light, let this Venerable One try it too!" The Fenshen condensed a black ball of light with its right hand; although it was also called "Purifying World Divine Light," wherever this light passed, everything was eroded and corrupted.
Seeing that the Fenshen could actually learn and improve their divine abilities in an instant, Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan both felt deep despair. This learning ability had already exceeded common sense; it was simply as if...
"Do you still remember the great war from ten thousand years ago?" the Fenshen mocked while attacking, its voice carrying deep malice, "Immortal Lord Taichu, Fairy of Purifying World, back then you two together were no match for this Venerable One; now, as mere reincarnated bodies, you are even more vulnerable!"
This sentence exploded in Lin Xuan's mind like thunder, instantly triggering the memories buried deep within his soul.
Suddenly, countless blurred images began to flash through Lin Xuan's mind.
