Ding! Emotion detected: Bo Xuan feels terrified. Emotion score: +500.
As a powerful figure who had dominated the continent for centuries, Bo Xuan had never seen such a secret art to enhance power.
And what's more, this technique was truly beyond comprehension.
It forcefully elevated someone from the Nirvana Realm straight into the Samsara Realm—crossing several stages in one leap.
Even she couldn't suppress the gleam of greed in her eyes.
Bo Xuan, with horror in her gaze, looked at Chen Xuan. "W-what kind of technique is this?"
"The kind that can defeat you!"
"Defeat me? Heh, your technique must be temporary. How about this—hand it over, and I'll let you live."
Although Bo Xuan was only in the Revolving Core Realm, she wielded the Darkness Ancestral Symbol and the ancient Dark Scythe, giving her the ability to contend with most Samsara Realm powerhouses.
That's why she could still talk this confidently in front of a now-Samsara-level Chen Xuan.
She had expected that her offer would make him surrender or, at the very least, intimidate him.
But to her surprise, Chen Xuan simply smirked. "Fine, I'll send it to you after you're dead!"
Now that was arrogance.
"In that case, die!"
Bo Xuan didn't hold back.
Raising her hand, a massive, menacing black scythe appeared. Strange runes flickered on it, emitting an aura of chilling coldness.
She swung the scythe down, and a wave of deadly energy tore through the air, racing toward Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan met her attack with his Soul Banner in one hand and the rust-covered Breakwind Blade in the other, effortlessly shattering her strike.
Bo Xuan's expression turned serious. "I must admit, you've got some skill."
Ding! Emotion detected: Bo Xuan feels surprised. Emotion score: +100.
"You'll soon see just how skilled I am!"
Chen Xuan waved his Soul Banner, releasing a terrifying aura that made even the bravest shudder.
Bo Xuan's eyes narrowed. "Looks like you have quite a few treasures on hand."
"Come on, use the Darkness Ancestral Symbol! If you don't now, you'll miss your chance!"
"You arrogant fool!"
Bo Xuan sneered, striking again with the Dark Scythe. Another blast of bone-chilling black light surged toward Chen Xuan. He raised his blade, channeling his energy, and clashed with the black light.
Boom!
A tremendous shockwave rippled across the sky above Qingyang Town, leveling buildings below. Townspeople scattered, fleeing in terror.
"He… is he really this powerful?" Lin Qingtan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Ding! Emotion detected: Lin Qingtan feels surprised. Emotion score: +100.
Chen Kui gulped, realizing that Chen Xuan had been holding back earlier. Otherwise, he would've been dead long ago.
"Great Dark Sky Demon Claw!" Bo Xuan chanted. A massive dark claw formed, emanating icy malice.
This attack, in the hands of someone of her strength, was leagues beyond anything Chen Kui had summoned before.
As the claw descended, Chen Xuan waved his Soul Banner, unleashing a terrifying suction that devoured the claw entirely.
Then, in a flash, he thrust his blade toward Bo Xuan, slicing through her sleeve and drawing blood.
"Master!" Lin Qingtan and Chen Kui cried out in unison.
Ding! Emotion detected: Lin Qingtan feels regretful and frustrated. Emotion score: +100. Ding! Emotion detected: Bo Xuan feels shocked. Emotion score: +200.
To Bo Xuan's horror, she sensed a strange force invading her body, devouring her life energy at a rate her Samsara Realm power couldn't repel.
Glaring at Chen Xuan, she decisively swung her scythe, severing her injured arm to halt the spread.
Ding! Emotion detected: Bo Xuan feels resentful. Emotion score: +500.
"Master!" Lin Qingtan and Chen Kui cried in concern. They never expected Chen Xuan to force their master to such extremes, even leading her to sever her own arm.
Chen Xuan raised the Soul Banner. "Just perfect—my banner still lacks a powerful main spirit, and you'll do nicely."
"You insolent brat! I'll tear you to pieces!" Bo Xuan snarled, wiping the blood from her mouth. She quickly formed hand seals, conjuring a dark, ancient symbol filled with malevolent energy.
"The Darkness Ancestral Symbol!" Chen Kui's face lit up with excitement. The symbol's mere appearance would send even Samsara powerhouses running!
As Bo Xuan prepared to obliterate Chen Xuan with the talisman, it suddenly… vanished into thin air. Her entire body froze in disbelief.
Where was it? Where was her ancestral symbol?
It had just been here!
In shock, she realized her connection to it was severed. Never in her life had she heard of anything on the Tianxuan Continent capable of forcibly disconnecting a wielder from their talisman.
Lin Qingtan whispered with trembling voice, "Chen Kui, isn't the Darkness Ancestral Symbol supposed to be… powerful? Why does it seem so… useless?"
Chen Kui couldn't answer, too stunned to respond.
Bo Xuan's gaze turned icy as she glared at Chen Xuan. "You… did you take my symbol?"
"Congratulations, you guessed right! Your reward is the privilege of becoming the main spirit of my Soul Banner!"
"It was you!"
Bo Xuan's eyes bulged in disbelief.
The Darkness Ancestral Symbol was a priceless heirloom of the Palace of Darkness, passed down through countless generations.
If it were lost, she'd never be able to face her ancestors.
Just as she was lost in thought, the Soul Banner surged with power, engulfing her entirely.
