Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

The gloomy wind blew mercilessly.

Yun Yao’s expression was cold as she swiftly fled on the Ice Flood Dragon, filled with frustration at the pursuit from behind.

If it weren’t for her plans and the desire not to reveal her strength or exhaust her resources here, she would surely give those five a lesson.

"Heh heh, our master highly praises the Profound Yin Divine Fire, saying it is the ultimate Yin fire. Fellow Daoist, you’d best not struggle."

"Indeed, we are all from the Demon Dao, there’s no need for inner conflict."

The five figures were on a flying beast, their auras strangely connected, and their speed was constantly increasing, leaving Yun Yao even more astonished.

The ghostly winds and yin spirits along the way were directly torn apart. Just as they passed a mound, nine Sword Auras suddenly emerged from below.

"Not good, it’s an ambush!"

"How daring! To attack us!"

Nine Sword Auras, each twenty zhang in length, carried terrifying divine power directly towards the five. However, the five were not alarmed; instead, they combined forces to conjure a triple-layered shield.

"Brother Lin, be careful. These are the Five Demon Children, let’s go quickly!"

The nine Sword Auras crashed against the combined Mana Shield with a loud boom, producing a screeching cracking sound as the spiritual light dimmed.

Seeing this, the Five Demon Children turned pale with shock, as their shield showed cracks from just a single strike.

Nevertheless, Lin Chang’an, hidden in the shadows, also experienced shock as his pupils contracted.

He had been cultivating for so long, yet it was his first time encountering cultivators who could withstand his Sword Shadow Following Heart divine techniques.

However, in the next moment, as he formed a seal, the nine Sword Auras suddenly exploded, unleashing terrifying power.

Ka-cha!

"Impudent cultivator!"

"How dare you!"

The power of the nine Sword Auras exploding was comparable to the detonation of three Golden Core Level magical treasures, yet the Five Demon Children were filled with anger and not frightened at all.

"Brother Lin!"

In the chaos, Yun Yao raised her hand to release several chilling ice dragon spells towards the rear, as familiar figures appeared behind her.

All this happened in an instant, and as Lin Chang’an gently embraced Yun Yao’s slender waist, he caught a glimpse of the Five Demon Children in rage amid the Sword Aura explosion.

The first two layers of the Mana Shield had completely collapsed, while the final shield was riddled with countless cracks.

"They managed to withstand this!"

Lin Chang’an, shocked, realized that the opponents had relied solely on a Mana Shield, not a top-level magical treasure.

No wonder Yun Yao had anxiously sent a message telling him that these five were extremely difficult to deal with and not to engage in prolonged battle.

"Let’s go!"

However, he was not one to linger in battle. With Yun Yao’s prior warning, and since the opportunities in the Secret Realm were yet to be found, he wisely avoided getting into a death match carelessly.

After holding Yun Yao’s waist, Lin Chang’an instantly unleashed his terrifying mana, once again launching a rain of swords across the sky.

"You can’t escape, rogue cultivator!"

"You will die for offending us, the Five Demons!"

Killing intent surged from behind, but in the next moment, the pre-set array flags emitted flashes of flowing light, instantly forming a circular barrier that trapped the five within.

Then, as the four Black Tortoise virtual shadows roared angrily, the array barrier took shape.

Four Symbols Xuanwu Array

"Brother Lin, this ordinary Tier Three Array won’t hold them for long, let’s leave and don’t get caught in a fight,"

Yun Yao advised solemnly, while Lin Chang’an had already made preparations. With a pat on his Spirit Beast Bag, the majestic cry of the Phoenix Cry Bird echoed across the heavens and earth.

Under Yun Yao’s astonished gaze, the Phoenix Cry Bird soared into the sky, transforming into a fifty-zhang gigantic bird. Its terrifying fiery glow illuminated the whole area.

Unrestrained by the array, the Phoenix Cry Bird’s aura decimated nearby yin spirits in the terrifying heat.

Yet this was an Extremely Yin Land, and although the Phoenix Cry Bird restrained creatures like yin souls, its terrifying aura in such an environment also attracted the greed of countless yin spirits.

In the Extremely Yin Land, the Phoenix Cry Bird was also seen as a valuable supplement by these yin spirits.

Due to the presence of the array, the Five Demon Children had no clue about what was happening outside.

The Phoenix Cry Bird’s aura came swiftly and withdrew just as fast, instantly retracting its presence and transforming into a streak of golden light as it returned to Lin Chang’an’s Spirit Beast Bag.

Having done all this, Lin Chang’an dared not linger for even a moment longer. Alongside Yun Yao, he treaded the Ice Flood Dragon to quickly escape and flee.

Though the aura of the Phoenix Cry Bird had barely emerged, the yin spirits within a hundred miles likely sensed it and were frantically swarming in.

As Lin Chang’an anticipated, yin spirits and yin corpses were gathering greedily from within a hundred miles.

Lin Chang’an, concealing his aura, employed Earth Escape to flee from below when encountering the vast tide of yin spirits.

A stick of incense later.

The Four Symbols Xuanwu Array, with four massive virtual turtle shadows, grew dim, and the array barrier flickered before finally shattering with a loud crash.

"Damn those rogues!"

However, just after the Five Demon Children broke through the formation, they saw the terrifying tide of yin spirits in the distance, showing expressions of shock and anger.

...

Half a month later.

The black sandstorm howled, with fierce wind tearing every inch of the land. As far as the eye could see, it was dark and desolate with not a single hill in sight.

After passing through the Earth Forbidden Land, they arrived at the Golden Forbidden Land.

Earth begets metal, and the golden sand here, when grabbed, consisted of metal-infused grains.

"Brother Lin, in this Golden Forbidden Land, terrifying fierce winds blow year-round. Even Core Formation Cultivators, if caught and unable to escape in time,

would deplete their mana and eventually be wiped out. However, this place has one benefit: it is sparsely populated with living creatures."
