84: Get Thunder Marrow

Xuan Gu watched as he was about to get his hands on the Chaos Thunder Marrow, but Lin Xuan split it with a bolt of lightning, making him so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood! His old face twisted, and his finger, pointing at Lin Xuan, trembled: "Lin Xuan! You little beast! You're courting death!"

On the other side, the Asura Commander, who had been entangled by the divine race remnant souls, also took the opportunity to escape. Although he had several new wounds, his malevolent aura grew even stronger. His scarlet eyes fixed on Lin Xuan, and he let out a low growl: "Blood food! How dare you snatch what the Underworld Skeleton Venerable desires! Kill!"

The dozens of divine race remnant souls on the altar didn't care who was who. Their only directive was to guard the altar and the Thunder Marrow; anyone who approached was an enemy! They immediately turned their attention, their hollow eyes locking onto the newly arrived Star Palace members. The ancient, broken weapons in their hands hummed.

Good heavens, in an instant, Lin Xuan and his two hundred disciples became the target of a three-way focused attack!

"Master, what should we do?" Mo Sha licked his lips, not only unafraid but even more excited, as ancient demonic power surged within his body.

"What should we do?" Lin Xuan spun the bronze battle axe on his shoulder, revealing two rows of white teeth in a grin, "We'll make a cold salad out of them!"

He gave the opponents no chance to encircle him, stomping his foot heavily!

"Chaos Thunder Domain! Open!"

Rumble!

Centered on him, a violent sea of Chaos Thunder instantly expanded, covering half of the canyon! Countless bolts of lightning, varying in color and containing two extreme forces of destruction and vitality, struck everything within the range indiscriminately, like mad pythons! The ground was blasted into countless scorched pits, and the air was filled with the smell of ozone and char!

This instantly enveloped Xuan Gu's confidantes, the Asura Clan warriors, and those divine race remnant souls who had charged over!

"Form a formation! Defend!" Xuan Gu's face changed drastically, and he shouted in a hurry. His evil cultivators frantically put up various sinister shields, but they crackled and swayed precariously under the bombardment of the Chaos Thunder.

The Asura Clan, with their tough hides, charged through the lightning, but their speed slowed, and they smoked from the electricity.

Those divine race remnant souls were even stranger; their soul bodies seemed to have some resistance to lightning, but the peculiar power contained within the Chaos Thunder still made their figures appear somewhat illusory, and their movements significantly delayed.

"Now's the time! Grab the goods!" Lin Xuan roared, his figure vanishing like a ghost. He directly used spatial divine abilities, ignoring the chaotic sea of lightning, and lunged towards the Chaos Thunder Marrow on the altar!

"Stop him!" Xuan Gu and the Asura Commander roared almost simultaneously!

A speed-adept early-stage Immortal Monarch evil cultivator beside Xuan Gu transformed into a wisp of black smoke, arriving after Lin Xuan but reaching him first, a ghostly claw aiming straight for Lin Xuan's back!

Beside the altar, the strongest divine race remnant general also thrust a spear, its ancient spear light tearing through the sea of lightning, directly piercing towards Lin Xuan's face!

"Get lost!" Lin Xuan didn't even look, swinging his axe backward!

Clang! A piercing scream rang out! The Immortal Monarch evil cultivator's ghostly claw, along with half of his arm, was directly shattered by the bronze battle axe! He spat blood and flew backward!

At the same time, Lin Xuan's vertical eye between his brows snapped open! Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes · Annihilation!

A distorted black beam of light shot out, accurately colliding with the divine race remnant general's spear light!

There was no loud bang; the seemingly terrifying spear light vanished without a sound, as if erased by an eraser! Even the divine race remnant general's figure fluctuated violently, becoming somewhat transparent!

Seizing this opportunity, Lin Xuan grabbed with his large hand, and a chaotic suction force surged out, forcibly seizing the Chaos Thunder Marrow, which was struggling violently and emitting terrifying energy!

As the Thunder Marrow entered his hand, a series of violent impacts immediately struck, trying to break free. Lin Xuan snorted coldly, and the Chaos Thunder Pool in his dantian erupted with suction. Like a monarch descending, the Chaos Thunder Marrow instantly quieted, docilely allowing itself to be absorbed into his body and temporarily suppressed within the Thunder Pool.

The treasure was in hand!

"Bastard!" Xuan Gu watched Lin Xuan succeed, his eyes turning red. He no longer cared about conserving his strength and roared: "Myriad Soul Banner! Rise!"

A giant banner, black as ink and wreathed with countless suffering human soul faces, rose from behind him. It grew with the wind, instantly blotting out the sky and sun, emitting the wails of billions of wronged souls. It actually temporarily resisted the erosion of the Chaos Thunder Domain! The banner surface trembled, and countless black soul spears shot towards Lin Xuan like a torrential rain!

The Asura Commander also completely went berserk, roaring at the sky. His body swelled a circle, dark golden bone armor covering his entire body. Wielding a jagged bone saber the size of a door panel, he brought a storm of malevolent energy that seemed to tear everything apart, fiercely slashing at Lin Xuan! Where the blade passed, faint black traces were left in space!

Two Immortal Monarch-level powerhouses, both fighting with their lives!

"Good timing!" Lin Xuan advanced instead of retreating, battle intent burning in his eyes! Although most of the Chaos Thunder Marrow's power was used to suppress it, the trace of pure thunder essence that fed back to him greatly invigorated his spirit!

He clenched his left fist, chaotic demonic energy swirling around it, and punched at the rain of soul spears shot from the Myriad Soul Banner! His right hand swung the bronze battle axe in a full circle, carrying the momentum of creation, directly clashing with the Asura Commander's jagged bone saber!

Boom! Boom!

Two deafening explosions occurred almost simultaneously!

The rain of soul spears was shattered by a single punch, turning into a sky full of black smoke and dissipating. The Myriad Soul Banner shook violently, and Xuan Gu groaned, his face turning a few shades paler.

On the other side, the battle axe and bone saber collided fiercely! The ear-splitting clang of metal tore at people's eardrums! The Asura Commander roared repeatedly; the immense force made Lin Xuan's arm numb, his tiger's mouth split, and blood stained the axe handle, but he didn't retreat a single step! The Chaos Undying Body operated frantically, and his injuries instantly recovered! Instead, a huge gap was chipped into the Asura Commander's jagged bone saber!

"Kill!" Seizing the moment Lin Xuan was entangled by the two masters, Xuan Gu's evil cultivators and the Asura Clan warriors surged towards the Star Palace disciples like a tide! They wanted to deal with these small fry first, then encircle Lin Xuan!

"Form the Star Sword Formation!" Leng Yuechan's clear, cold voice rang out!

The two hundred elite Star Palace disciples moved instantly, treading mysterious steps, their sword lights forming a continuous sheet, like the revolving stars of the cosmos, creating a massive, sword-qi-filled defensive and counter-attacking sword formation! Countless sharp sword qis poured out like a meteor shower, slaughtering the charging enemies in swathes!

Mo Sha charged into the enemy crowd with a wild laugh, like a humanoid beast, leaving behind severed limbs and broken arms wherever he went! Ye Chen's figure flickered, specifically targeting and killing the opponents' experts. Under the Nirvana Sword Intent, few survived! You Ye released large areas of ghostly illusions, causing enemies to fight among themselves! Linglong's demonic music was pervasive, disturbing their minds! A Zi summoned a large thundercloud; although it couldn't kill experts, it harassed them into distraction! Jin Bao transformed into his dragon-human form, his dragon claws incredibly sharp, his dragon flames incinerating everything! Even the blue-robed youth, transformed from the Immortal Kun, gently raised his hand, and waves of seemingly gentle but terrifyingly powerful light-blue water ripples spread out, easily crushing several charging Asura Clan warriors into dust!

The Star Palace disciples worked in perfect coordination, and their individual strength was formidable. Although outnumbered, they managed to withstand the siege of several times their enemies, even subtly gaining the upper hand!

The entire canyon was completely transformed into a bloody meat grinder! Explosions of energy, battle cries, and screams resounded in unison! People fell every moment, and blood stained the charred ground.

Lin Xuan fought Xuan Gu and the Asura Commander alone, becoming fiercer with each blow! The Chaos Thunder Domain constantly compressed and expanded, and each swing of the bronze battle axe was powerful and heavy, forcing the two masters into a desperate state. He even managed to sneak in another Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes Annihilation to eliminate an Immortal Monarch confidante of Xuan Gu who tried to ambush Leng Yuechan!

The more Xuan Gu fought, the more alarmed he became. He found that even with the Asura Commander, he couldn't defeat Lin Xuan! This guy's Golden Immortal cultivation was terrifyingly solid; his physical strength, recovery speed, that strange axe, and his Chaos Thunder techniques, which specifically countered evil demons, made him simply a monster!

The Asura Commander was even more frustrated. His strength was clearly greater than Lin Xuan's, but that axe was too sharp; he suffered a loss every time they clashed, and his bone saber was almost ruined! Moreover, the opponent's lightning paralyzed him, making him extremely uncomfortable.

If this continued, let alone reclaiming the Chaos Thunder Marrow, he would lose all his assets!

A flicker of pain and determination flashed in Xuan Gu's eyes, and he suddenly spat a mouthful of his vital essence blood onto the Myriad Soul Banner!

"Myriad Souls Devour the Heavens!"

The Myriad Soul Banner suddenly erupted with monstrous black light. The countless suffering human faces on the banner surface actually merged together, forming a gigantic, hideous ghostly face that opened its huge mouth, emitting a silent but soul-attacking shriek, and fiercely bit towards Lin Xuan!

This attack contained Xuan Gu's primordial power, accumulated from refining the Myriad Soul Banner for many years, and was incredibly malicious!

Almost simultaneously, the Asura Commander also roared, burning his essence blood. The malevolent aura on his bone saber boiled, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long dark red blade light that tore through the heavens and earth, slashing fiercely right behind!

The desperate, essence-blood-burning attacks of two great Immortal Monarchs!

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted; he felt a fatal threat!

He took a deep breath, and a trace of the Chaos Thunder Marrow, which he had just suppressed within his body, was forcibly activated!

"Chaos Tribulation Lightning! Expel Evil!"

He gripped his axe with both hands, integrating that trace of activated Chaos Thunder Marrow power into the axe light, and fiercely swung at the gigantic ghostly face and the dark red blade light!

A hazy, seemingly unremarkable axe light, yet containing a terrifying aura of tribulation and destruction, surged against the wind!

Crack!

It was like the first thunderclap at the dawn of creation!

Where the axe light passed, the hideous ghostly face seemed to encounter its nemesis, letting out an incomparably shrill scream, and was instantly shattered. The Myriad Soul Banner whimpered, its light dimming as it flew backward, and Xuan Gu spat blood again!

The dark red blade light that followed was also split in half by the axe light, exploding with a bang! The Asura Commander's huge body was sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion, crashing heavily into the mountain wall, his fate unknown!

The power of a single strike was terrifying!

But Lin Xuan also groaned, his face turning slightly pale. Forcibly activating the unrefined Chaos Thunder Marrow was no small burden for him.

He leaned on his battle axe, took a breath, and his cold gaze swept across the entire scene.

Xuan Gu was severely injured, the Asura Commander's fate was unknown, and his subordinates were either dead or wounded, having long lost their will to fight. Most of those divine race remnant souls were also scattered by the terrifying aftershocks of the collision.

Victory and defeat were decided.

"Who else wants to snatch it?" Lin Xuan's voice carried a hint of fatigue, yet it was even colder.

The surviving enemies looked at his figure, like a demon god, scared out of their wits. How could they dare to step forward?

"Let's go!" Xuan Gu clutched his chest, glaring at Lin Xuan with intense resentment, and fled in disarray with his remaining forces, tearing space to escape. Those Asura Clan warriors also carried their commander, whose fate was unknown, and retreated in a panic.

Inside the canyon, only the Star Palace members and the mess remained.

"Clean up the battlefield, take everything usable! Hurry and recover!" Lin Xuan ordered. He then sat down cross-legged, quickly adjusting his breath and suppressing the somewhat restless Chaos Thunder Marrow within him.

Although this battle was won, it also exposed his strength. The Divine Wilderness Realm would likely become even more turbulent from now on.

He glanced in the direction Xuan Gu had fled, his eyes deep.

Old dog, you ran fast. Next time, I will take your life!
