Hungover, I crossed over to the psychic realm

 The powerful aura of the man in ancient - style clothing rushed towards them like a surging tide, sending chills down the spines of everyone present. Lin Yu forcefully suppressed the nervousness in his heart and stared intently at the man with sharp eyes, attempting to judge his origin and the extent of his strength from his words and deeds.

 The man slowly raised his hand and gave a gentle wave. An invisible force swept out like a fierce gale, sending the surrounding cultivators flying once again. They crashed into the walls, emitting pained groans. Many of them were injured and fell to the ground, losing their ability to fight further.

 "Hmph, with your ant - like cultivation levels, you actually dare to covet the funerary items of this king. You're simply seeking your own doom!" The man's cold voice echoed in the secret chamber, filled with contempt and anger.

 Lin Yu took a deep breath and activated the "Lingxi Sacred Canon". The power of the spiritual roots within his body surged rapidly, flowing and converging in his meridians. He tried to find the man's weakness, hoping to find a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation. "Who on earth are you? And why are you here?" Lin Yu shouted loudly, hoping to obtain some useful information from the man's response.

 The man looked coldly at Lin Yu, as if regarding him as an insignificant little insect. "This king was a great cultivator a thousand years ago, Prince Xuan Shang of the Xuanfeng Kingdom. Back then, this king was in secluded cultivation in this ancient tomb, but was framed and killed by treacherous people. The resentment of this king has lingered here without dissipating. After a thousand years, I have finally accumulated enough power, waiting for the opportunity to be reborn. And you greedy lot just had to barge in at this moment, ruining this king's rebirth ceremony!"

 Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. Hearing the words "Xuanfeng", he thought of the great cultivator Xuan Feng, the creator of the Lingxi Jade Pendant. He wondered if there was some connection between the two. But the situation was critical at the moment, and he had no time to dwell on it because Prince Xuan Shang had launched another attack.

 Prince Xuan Shang quickly formed hand - seals with both hands and muttered incantations. The spiritual power around him rapidly gathered, forming black spiritual - power vortices. Faint wails of resentful spirits could be heard coming from the vortices, making one's hair stand on end. These vortices swept towards Lin Yu and the other cultivators. Wherever they passed, the ground was eroded by the spiritual power, leaving deep gullies.

 Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately executed the Lingxi Phantom Step. His figure flashed rapidly, evading the attacks of the black spiritual - power vortices. At the same time, he combined the power of the fire spiritual root and the thunder spiritual root, unleashing the "Lingxi Fire - Thunder Strike". A beam of spiritual power intertwined with flames and lightning shot towards Prince Xuan Shang.

 Prince Xuan Shang snorted coldly. Without haste, he raised his hand and waved. A black light - screen appeared in front of him, easily blocking Lin Yu's attack. "Petty tricks!" he said disdainfully.

 Lin Yu was not discouraged. He knew that when facing such a powerful opponent, he had to go all out. He continuously changed his spiritual skills, trying to find Prince Xuan Shang's weakness. During the battle, he noticed that every time Prince Xuan Shang cast a powerful spell, a faint light would flicker on his chest, as if that was the core of his power.

 Lin Yu secretly rejoiced. He decided to concentrate his attacks on Prince Xuan Shang's chest. He once again integrated the power of the five spiritual roots within his body and unleashed the "Lingxi Chaos Annihilation Wave", attacking Prince Xuan Shang's chest with all his might.

 Prince Xuan Shang sensed Lin Yu's intention. His face changed slightly. He quickly strengthened the black light - screen in front of him for defense and simultaneously gathered more spiritual power to prepare for a counter - attack.

 Just as the "Lingxi Chaos Annihilation Wave" was about to hit Prince Xuan Shang, suddenly, a mysterious force surged out from the stone coffin and collided with Lin Yu's attack. The powerful impact sent Lin Yu flying. He fell heavily to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and suffered quite serious injuries.

 "Ha ha ha ha, this is this king's ancient tomb. This king is the master here! None of you will leave alive!" Prince Xuan Shang let out a burst of manic laughter, and a more intense killing intent shone in his eyes.

 When the other cultivators saw Lin Yu get injured, they felt even more desperate. But they also knew that at this moment, only by fighting to the death could there be a glimmer of hope. So, they all endured the pain and once again unleashed their respective spiritual skills, attacking Prince Xuan Shang.

 However, Prince Xuan Shang's strength was simply too great. Their attacks were like a mayfly trying to shake a tree against Prince Xuan Shang and could not cause any substantial damage to him.

 Lin Yu struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed a determined resolve. He knew that he couldn't give up like this. He had to fight not only for his own life but also for these innocent cultivators and the peace of the entire cultivation world. He tightly grasped the long sword in his hand again, mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, prepared to face Prince Xuan Shang's more violent attacks, and was also thinking of countermeasures.
