Chen Lin felt like he had entered a rapidly spinning spiral channel. No matter how hard he tried to stay awake, he eventually became dizzy and almost passed out.
He could only hold on to the basalt shield tightly to protect his body from harm.
However, this process did not last long. When he was about to pass out, his body suddenly felt lighter and he felt like he was falling from a high altitude.
Then it fell to the ground with a bang.
With the protection of the Black Tortoise Shield and the body-refining technique of the Vajra Realm, Chen Lin was not injured. He just felt dizzy and was unable to stand up for a while.
He immediately took out a high-level defense talisman from his storage bag and activated it, forming a layer of defense shield on his body. He endured the discomfort and checked the surrounding situation.
Then there was a pause.
In front of me is a wide space, which looks like an island sunk to the bottom of the sea. It is very large, and the sky is completely covered by a layer of light curtain.
The light curtain is transparent, and you can see the fish swimming in the surrounding sea through it.
There are clusters of buildings on the island that look very old and have become somewhat dilapidated.
The most eye-catching thing is that at the highest point in the center of the island, there is an extremely huge stone tablet!
This stone tablet is about ten feet wide, and its height is unknown. The top seems to be connected with the light curtain in the sky, exuding a desolate and ancient atmosphere.
Seeing this huge monument, Chen Lin couldn't help but think of something and looked puzzled.
But before he could think about it too much, he saw a black dot appear on the light curtain above him, and then a ball of black mist fell from the sky and landed on the other side of the island.
His face changed.
The thing he was worried about happened. The black shadow monster that was chasing him was also sucked in here.
He was no match for the monster, so he couldn't stay here for long. He had to leave quickly before the other party noticed him.
At this time, the dizziness had already subsided. Chen Lin canceled the effect of the defense talisman and used the concealment talisman instead.
This level of defensive talisman will not have any effect on the black shadow monster, but will instead attract its attention. The concealing talisman cannot actually block the spiritual consciousness of cultivators above the Jindan level, but it can still have some effect if the distance is far enough.
After activating the talisman, Chen Lin carefully walked towards the edge of the island.
In order not to attract the other party's attention, he did not use any spells or magical weapons, but walked on foot.
Originally, he wanted to throw away the box containing the animal bones to prevent the black shadow monster from finding him again based on the sensation of this object.
But on second thought, the animal bone is a powerful treasure. If the other party takes it back, his strength will increase again. If he cannot break through the light curtain and leave, it would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.
After weighing the pros and cons, I decided to keep it.
However, in order to block the other party's perception, Chen Lin put the box into the storage bag containing items from the demon world, trying to use the demonic energy to confuse the breath of the animal bones themselves. As for whether the animal bones would be demonized, he didn't care.
After finishing the work, he walked towards the nearest light curtain.
The landing point was not far from the edge, and it took about half an hour to reach the front of the light curtain.
After watching for a while, Chen Lin discovered that the energy contained in this light curtain was extremely powerful and could not be broken by ordinary means.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out the box containing the huge sword of the man in silver armor.
In this place, there is no need to worry about people from the Hanshan tribe chasing after him. He can just tear off the sealing talisman and open the box.
Revealing the giant sword fragments inside.
His Thunder Sword fell outside, and the golden axe was left to Qin Lingyu and the others. The Soul-Destroying Finger and Five Thunders did not have the ability to break through the light shield, so they could only use this knife.
It’s a pity that the two disposable boundary-breaking talismans have been used up, otherwise I would have given it a try.
Chen Lin secretly decided to get a few more boundary-breaking talismans at all costs in the future, and then turned his gaze into the box.
There are nine fragments in total.
The handle of the knife is quite complete, with two strange characters on it, which I think should be the word "Han Yue".
At that time, the man in silver armor called this sword the Cold Moon Sword.
Every piece of the knife had been refined using secret methods, leaving strange imprints and fluctuations on it. This was probably the reason why the eight old men were able to provide energy for the knife.
This kind of branding is different from blood refining. It is nothing to Chen Lin. He wipes it all off with a little effort and leaves his own spiritual brand on it.
He gripped the hilt of the knife and injected mana into it.
The treasure ban on the hilt suddenly lit up, and then it resonated with the other eight fragments. The fragments instantly connected to the hilt, forming a silver-white broadsword!
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
As he thought, the combination of the fragments relied on the connection between the spiritual treasure itself, rather than any secret method.
This way, he can use the knife normally.
But his expression changed immediately and his brows furrowed deeply.
The knife's demand for magic power was so great that it felt like a bottomless pit, draining all his magic power in an instant.
Then the blade began to glow.
Fortunately, he has reached the perfect state of Golden Elixir, otherwise he would not be able to activate it!
It's so terrifying in its broken state. If it were a complete form, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would probably find it difficult to control it. I don't know how high the level of this spiritual treasure is.
Chen Lin was a little disappointed. What he wanted was a treasure that could be used normally. A treasure of too high a level would be meaningless to him. His magic power would be drained after one use, which meant that this treasure was destined to be unable to be used at will. He did not have eight Jindan monks to provide him with energy.
However, he had no choice.
He first swallowed a bottle of magic power pills, then flew into the air and slashed down at the light curtain!
The sword light was like the moon, intersecting the light curtain with unparalleled power.
The light curtain suddenly began to ripple, and faint cracks appeared.
However, before Chen Lin could be happy, he quickly calmed down, and then several arcs of lightning fell from the nearby light curtain and hit him.
Seeing this, Chen Lin hurriedly practiced his martial arts to dissolve the power of thunder.
His face looked grim. This light curtain was not only extremely tough, but also had the power to counterattack. It was impossible to break it.
Even the Frost Moon Blade couldn't break it, so other means were useless.
Fortunately, he has thunder spiritual roots and practices thunder-attributed skills, otherwise he would probably be injured.
Chen Lin glanced around and quickly left the place.
The energy fluctuation of this attack is very large, the black shadow monster will definitely be able to sense it and cannot stay for long.
Since brute force cracking is ineffective, the only option is to find a normal way to exit.
The rules of heaven and earth here are complete. It is not a secret place, but an ancient ruins similar to the ancient temple in Guyuan City. Since there are so many buildings, it means that there are many people living here, and it is impossible that there is no way to leave.
In addition, Chen Lin suspected that this was the site of the bloodline family, the Lei family.
When he went to the Hunyuan Conference with Jin Xingyun, he participated in a trade fair held by a bloodline family. Because he was in urgent need of finding a thunder-attributed skill, he exchanged a bottle of valuable elixir for a useless information jade slip and was cheated.
And that information was about the ruins of a family with a thunder heritage.
Chen Lin walked for a while, then hid in a secluded dilapidated house, began to rummage in his storage bag, and finally took out a jade slip.
It was the one I had exchanged for at the beginning.
He probed his spiritual sense into it, reviewed the contents again, and nodded.
Just as he thought, this was the site of the Lei family. No other evidence was needed to confirm this, just the huge stone tablet in the middle.
And the huge vortex in the sea outside can also be matched.
In fact, the intensity of the battle between him and the black shadow monster was not enough to cause the space to collapse. The reason why the black hole was created was because the distance to this place was too close, and it might have been caused by accidentally touching the node of the formation.
According to the information recorded, it is said that the stone tablet fell from the sky and flattened an island, leaving only half of it on the seabed. After being discovered by the ancestors of the Lei family, they turned this place into the Lei family's inheritance place.
The stone tablet possesses infinite power of thunder, and ordinary cultivators cannot get close to it at all. However, those with thunder spiritual roots may be able to comprehend mysterious and wonderful magical powers from it.
As for how the Lei family was destroyed, the information did not say.
But there is not a single corpse here, which means that it is very likely that the whole thing was moved. As for why they gave up on moving such a treasure, there is no way to guess.
After withdrawing his spiritual consciousness from the jade slip, Chen Lin began to think of countermeasures.
He didn't care whether there were treasures in the ruins or whether he could comprehend any magical skills from the giant monument. The main thing now was how to deal with the black shadow monster.
After thinking about it, I couldn't come up with any good solution.
No one knew what kind of existence that black shadow was. It could even withstand his mutated Soul-Destroying Finger. The Five Thunders Blast did not have much effect either, and the Frost Moon Sword consumed too much mana and needed to be used with caution.
As for the Basalt Shield, its defensive power is sufficient, but its offensive power is limited.
However, with the Basalt Shield, he was able to protect himself to a certain extent and avoid being killed instantly.
Chen Lin took a breath and felt very depressed. This feeling of powerlessness reminded him of his situation in Kaiyuan City.
In order to break out of the current situation, he must break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but that is unrealistic. He hasn't even found an opportunity to advance, and there is no hope of a breakthrough at all.
Moreover, the black shadow monster was nearby, so even if he found an opportunity to advance, he wouldn't dare to break through here.
In addition, if the soul level can be completely improved, there will be a chance to turn the situation around, but this is even less reliable than advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Not to mention that the Soul Refining Pills have been used up, even if there are any, the qualitative change of the soul will not happen overnight.
Chen Lin walked out of the house and looked at the huge monument.
According to the description in the jade slip, this monument possesses powerful thunder power, and those without thunder spiritual roots cannot get close to it. Perhaps we can try to see if we can use this thing to block the black shadow monster.
If it can be blocked, it means that we have a safe place, and it will be easier to deal with it.
Of course, this was just his wishful thinking. Something so long ago might not be sure if it would still be effective. The best way was to find a way to leave and escape as soon as possible.
Chen Lin thought as he walked along the buildings, gradually approaching the center of the island.
Suddenly, his face changed, and his body suddenly jumped up, with the Black Tortoise Shield spinning rapidly and blocking in front of him.
Then a black spear appeared out of nowhere and pierced the shield!
"Humph, you are alert enough, but unfortunately in this closed environment, you have no choice but to die!"
The voice of the shadow monster sounded, full of murderous intent.
Chen Lin did not respond, but used his flying skills to fly away.
Since the opponent was able to interrupt his escape method, he could only use this primitive way of flying.
Sure enough, he was not able to fall this time, but his flying speed was far slower than his escape method, and he was caught up in a few breaths.
Feeling the biting cold coming from behind, Chen Lin could only turn around and use the Basalt Shield to block it.
There were contradictions again, but no black hole appeared. Chen Lin's blood was boiling due to the shock, but he had no time to regulate his breathing and continued to escape.
"Haha, I want to see how many times your magic power can activate the spiritual treasure!"
Here, the black shadow was not afraid that Chen Lin would run away, and his tone implied that he was playing with a cat and a mouse.
Chen Lin's face was gloomy, but he did not refute verbally. He just accelerated as hard as he could and flew towards the giant monument!
