A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

suddenly.

A voice seemed to flash through Lin Yang's mind.

"Use spirit communication to suppress the enemy!"

Lin Yang was taken aback.

Using spirit communication to suppress enemies?

What do you mean?
But then, he seemed to understand something.

The voice meant that he should use a spirit summoning array to deal with this guy.

"Set up a spirit communication array?"

Lin Yang hesitated for a moment.

The power of the ancient ruins can't even stop this figure in front of us now.

If that mysterious ghost is attracted again...

However, Lin Yang acted in the blink of an eye.

Now doesn't seem like the time to think about these things.

If we can't deal with this even more terrifying figure...

He must die now.

As for the ghosts and such, perhaps the ancient ruins have their own ways of dealing with them.

Otherwise, such a prompt wouldn't be given.

While the terrifying figure was still dealing with the power of the ancient ruins.

Lin Yang quickly set up a spirit communication array.

During this time, the terrifying figure noticed his actions, but only glanced at him and didn't pay any attention.

This is the most important factor that enabled Lin Yang to complete the setup of the spirit communication array.

Buzz.

A chilling power surged forth.

Lin Yang saw that same blurry, indistinct ghost appear again at the end of the endless darkness.

call…

A gust of cold wind blew.

The figure of the ghost traversed the endless darkness and appeared before Lin Yang.

A chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine swept over them.

In an instant, the area around Lin Yang became like a ghost realm.

The ghosts remained unchanged, attempting to manipulate Lin Yang's body and invade his consciousness as soon as they appeared.

However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened to Lin Yang.

The figure that was fighting against the ancient ruins suddenly turned its head and looked over.

To be precise, it was about watching that ghost.

"This is getting more and more interesting. The summoning array can actually attract such a being."

With that, the blurry figure shouted at the ghost, "The dead should stay in the world of the dead. Until I find out this brat's origins, he belongs to me! No one is allowed to lay a finger on him!"

This stern shout seemed to contain some kind of power, striking directly at the departed spirit.

Lin Yang could clearly feel the power of the Yin spirit invading his body rapidly receding.

"Is this okay?"

Lin Yang was actually a little amused.

The ghost wanted to control him, but the blurry figure wanted to find out his origins.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the figure wouldn't allow the ghost to harm him first.

The two unexpectedly came together.

"Is this what they mean by 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'?"

Lin Yang chuckled inwardly.

That ghost was clearly not someone to be trifled with, or rather, it had a rather bad temper.

Seeing that he could no longer attack Lin Yang, he also turned to look at that figure.

Hu Hu Hu.

A cold wind rose up and rushed straight towards the figure.

"Overestimating yourself, how dare this mere Yin creature be so presumptuous?"

The figure didn't even have to use its hands to deal with the ghosts; it simply used its voice to unleash a torrent of thunder that struck the ghosts directly.

The howling wind suddenly lost much of its power.

A glint of fire flashed in the eyes of the ghost.

Then, Lin Yang heard the first words spoken by the ghost since he encountered it:

"If it weren't for the difference in time and space, I would kill you as easily as slaughtering a dog!"

Click.

As the ghost spoke, thunder suddenly roared in the sky.

Then, the entire sky instantly darkened.

A howling, eerie wind rose again, sweeping across the entire world.

The figures of the ghosts became even more blurred, as if they no longer existed in this world or even in time.

Lin Yang could even see the space around the ghost begin to distort with his naked eye, and an invisible force was rushing straight towards the figure.

Upon seeing this, even though Lin Yang couldn't see the figure's face clearly, he felt that the figure's expression seemed to change at that moment.

He looked up at the sky, which had suddenly darkened, then at the ghosts, his voice becoming low:

"Interesting. You are someone who shouldn't exist in this era."

"But since you're here, don't leave!"

The words fell.

The world changes again.

A colossal, equally indistinct-faced Dharma image suddenly appeared behind the figure's owner.

The Dharma form is so vast that it can break through heaven and earth.

The originally dark sky was partially pierced by the Dharma image, allowing light to shine in.

boom!
The Dharma Image raised its hand and grasped at the wandering spirit from afar!
The ghost became increasingly blurry, and slightly raised a somewhat illusory arm, pointing it towards the Dharma image.

laugh.

The giant hand of the Dharma image was pierced through in an instant.

The spirit remained standing in the same spot, unharmed.

The owner of the blurry figure's expression clearly changed again, and he shouted sharply once more: "Who exactly are you?"

The ghost did not answer his question; only a faint voice echoed:
"I await you on the path to rebirth! Today, we each take what we need. If you dare obstruct me again, I will surely sever your Dao body and soul! And destroy your true life!"

The blurry figure seemed silent for a moment, then laughed:
"Ha, ha ha ha, interesting, really interesting. A dead man who has reversed time dares to threaten me?"

"I don't care who you are. Since you've come to my era, bury yourself here!"

hum.

The Dharma image vibrated.

It manifests the power of the endless laws of the Great Dao.

The sound of the Dao rose up in a mighty torrent.

Golden rays of light descended from the sky.

In an instant, all the darkness was pierced.

The world was bathed in a dazzling golden light.

Faxiang raised his hand again and pressed it down on the wandering spirit from afar.

A surge of spiritual energy flowed downwards, heading straight for the vengeful spirit, intending to annihilate its soul.

The ghost remained indifferent.

He made no move, letting all the force fall.

After the world twisted, all the power vanished as if it had never existed.

The blurry figure seemed startled by the power of the ghost, and for a moment it froze.

Even the ghosts remained motionless.

But Lin Yang could vaguely sense that the two sides seemed to be engaged in another, more terrifying confrontation.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The clash between the two seems to have reached some kind of conclusion.

The blurry figure spoke again: "You are very strong, one of the strongest I have ever seen, but as I said before, this is my era. A dead man has no right to compete with me for prey!"

The ghostly figure swayed slightly, its voice eerie: "If time were not an obstacle, you would already be a corpse!"

"Something that can't even break the rules of the Yin and Yang realms dares to spout such nonsense? If it weren't for this kid's summoning, you wouldn't even have a chance to appear here!" The blurry figure sneered.

The spirit was silent for a moment, then said, "The time is not yet up."

"What do you mean it's not time yet? Heh, I'd like to see just what you are!" The blurry figure sneered.

Then, they made their move again.

Ripples appeared on the horizon.

The ghost seemed no longer interested in entanglement with him, and instead turned and slowly walked towards Lin Yang.

The blurry figure immediately shouted, "You are not to be harmed until I have thoroughly investigated his background!"

The ghost's actions were thwarted once again.

Strange to say.

Lin Yang felt that neither of them could do anything to the other.

Lin Yang even felt that the ghost was actually more powerful than the blurry figure.

But for some reason, the ghost couldn't control his body in front of the blurry figure.

It seems that the behavior of the spirits is affected by even the slightest disturbance.

This is somewhat contradictory.

Because when we were in the secret chamber, the power of the ancient ruins could suppress the vengeful spirits.

This indicates that the power of the Yin spirit is weaker than that of the Ancient Ruins. Yet, this blurry figure can now suppress the Ancient Ruins, forcing them to send Lin Yang a prompt to summon the Yin spirit.

This indicates that the blurry figure possesses a greater power than the ancient ruins.

However, the ghost actually seemed to be stronger than the owner of this blurry figure.

This left Lin Yang somewhat confused and bewildered.

Because according to normal logic.

The vengeful spirit was weaker than the ancient ruins, so it was naturally weaker than the owner of the blurry figure.

But the truth seems to be the opposite.

Although the ghostly spirit did not completely suppress the blurry figure, its control over Lin Yang was also interfered with and interrupted by the blurry figure.

But even the blurry figure could not suppress the ghost.

This is so strange.

Lin Yang frowned, puzzled.

However, he quickly realized a problem he had overlooked earlier.

That is, the blurry figure is still fighting against the power of the ancient ruins.

They fought against the ancient ruins on one hand, and against the evil spirits on the other.

"So, the blurry figure is actually stronger?"

Lin Yang muttered to himself, but his intuition told him that the Yin spirit was stronger.

This feeling is contradictory.

The ghost was also watching the blurry figure, seemingly deep in thought.

After a moment, the ghostly spirit said in a low voice:

"You will regret your decision today. I will be waiting for you on the road to the afterlife. Then, there will be another battle."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang frowned.

He couldn't understand what the ghost was saying about the path to rebirth, but it sounded like the ghost was about to leave.
He clearly felt that the ghost was no weaker than the blurry figure.

The reason we can't capture the blurry figure right now seems to be due to some inexplicable rule restrictions.

But they actually decided to withdraw on their own initiative?
This is not a good thing for him.

If the ghost leaves, it will no longer be able to restrain the owner of the blurry figure.

Lin Yang began frantically thinking of ways to leave behind a lingering spirit.

For the first time, he hoped that this eerie ghost would not leave!

However, the power of the vengeful spirit has begun to dissipate little by little.

"Holy crap, this damned ghost, wasn't it always trying to control me? Now it's backing down?"

Lin Yang cursed inwardly.

From the moment he first set up a spirit communication array in reality, he attracted the covetousness of this mysterious ghost.

Now that he could no longer control the blurry figure despite the interference from its owner, he actually wanted to retreat.

This is really...

What do you take him for?

Come when you want and leave when you want?
Lin Yang took a deep breath and suddenly spoke to the ghost:

"Didn't you always want to take over my body? Why are you backing down now that you've encountered a little resistance? You were so arrogant just now, always talking about killing this person and that person, but you're actually a coward!"

"..."

Words spoken.

Whether it's a ghost or a blurry figure.

Lin Yang sensed that both of them were momentarily stunned, as if neither of them had expected him to say such a thing.

But he really had no other choice.

We can't let this damned ghost leave like this.

This is the only way we can use reverse psychology.

The owner of the blurry figure was the first to regain his senses and burst into laughter: "Heh, interesting, kid, you've got some nerve, daring to try and take on a tiger by using a wolf as a pawn?"

Lin Yang ignored him.

Isn't this obvious?

The power of the departed spirits has been reassembled.

Lin Yang felt a cold gaze fall upon him.

The ghostly spirit said in a low voice:
"A clumsy scheme, but I must say, your words have successfully piqued my interest. In that case, I will grant your wish and make you the vessel for my descent!"

Having said that, the ghost seemed to have made up its mind to completely take over Lin Yang's body this time.

A powerful, chilling force swept up from the sky, part of it pressing down on the blurry figure.

A portion of them pressed towards Lin Yang.

In an instant, Lin Yang felt a suffocating sensation.

The ghost was clearly enraged.

Upon seeing this, the blurry figure's Dharma form behind it suddenly shrank, but its power increased even more, and it also pressed down on the Yin spirit.

At the same moment, the power of the ancient ruins fluctuated even more violently.

The three forces intertwined, as if they were about to shatter this world.

Lin Yang felt like a lone boat adrift on a vast ocean, in danger of capsizing at any moment.

The ghost wanted to possess his body, but a blurry figure blocked it.

The ancient ruins are trying to suppress the blurry figure again.

The three powers are locked in a stalemate.

Lin Yang was also feeling somewhat powerless.

The current situation is beyond his comprehension.

He didn't know how long this would last.

It's unclear which side will ultimately win.

Time seems to have frozen.

It gets dark and then light again, light and then dark again.

It felt like a fleeting moment, yet also like billions of years had passed.

If Lin Yang hadn't still been able to sense the terrifying power fluctuations, everyone would have thought it was all over.

"I wonder when this will finally end..." Lin Yang thought to himself.

The three parties are currently in a state of balance, mutually restraining each other. If this balance cannot be broken, this battle is expected to last a very long time.

However, just as Lin Yang was thinking this...

A sigh suddenly rang out.

"Ugh……"

Hearing this sigh, Lin Yang's heart tightened suddenly.

Because that sigh sounded somewhat familiar...

I seem to have heard it somewhere.

The next moment, before Lin Yang could even remember...

Suddenly, another figure appeared in the arena, whose face was also obscured.

The sigh came from the figure's mouth.

Lin Yang felt a chill run down his spine.

This figure, along with this sigh, if he remembered correctly, was the same figure he had seen when he left the ancient ruins last time.

That figure, which appears to be the junior brother himself...

He actually showed up here too?

At the same moment, the ghost and the blurry figure also looked at the extra person.

The spirit remained silent.

The blurry figure seemed to frown slightly and asked, "Another one who doesn't belong here? Who are you?"

The figure, seemingly the junior disciple himself, didn't speak, but simply waved his hand, and Lin Yang was rescued.

Then, the figure, who seemed to be the junior disciple himself, glanced at the ghost and said, "You shouldn't have barged in here now; you should go back."

The chilling power surrounding the ghost intensified, but it showed no sign of leaving, seemingly intending to continue its attack.

The figure, seemingly the junior disciple himself, said again: "Perhaps you can fight me when the boundary rules are broken in the future, but you are no match for me now. Your original power is not in this era, so it is meaningless to force a fight. You should be able to sense that the boundary rules here are more perfect, and you have no chance."

The ghostly voice was icy: "If it weren't for the time being, I could have killed both of you, even though you were born at different times!"

The figure, seemingly the junior brother's true form, ignored him and simply raised his hand again, shattering the spirit communication array inch by inch.

The spirits began to be pulled by some force, forced to return to the spirit communication array.

In the final moments, the ghost looked at Lin Yang without speaking, but it seemed as if a strange power entered Lin Yang's body.

It was not discovered by the junior brother himself.

Then, the figure that seemed to be the junior brother himself looked at the blurry figure and said:
"Theoretically, you are invincible in this era, but unfortunately, you are not at your peak yet. As I said before, we will inevitably have a battle in the future. You can leave now. If you make a move now, even if you win, you will definitely lose in the future."

The blurry figure looked at him, then at Lin Yang, and suddenly smiled:
"Interesting, very interesting indeed. I have seen some interesting things today. Perhaps you are right, even if I win now, I have already lost. However, since I have seen you today, you will surely lose in the future!"

"Perhaps." The figure, seemingly the junior brother himself, did not refute anything, but simply said, "We are not in the present moment, and perhaps the future has already become the past."

The blurry figure sneered: "Now that I have seen the future, the future surely belongs to me! You are doomed!"

Having said that, before the suspected junior brother could reply, the blurry figure gave Lin Yang a deep look and then disappeared on the spot.

The figure, seemingly the junior disciple himself, paused for a moment, then glanced at Lin Yang and sighed again:
"Ugh……"

He didn't say anything more, and his figure began to fade away.

However, even as he was fading away, his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yichen, but for some reason he didn't speak to him.

Then, before the figure completely disappeared, a faint voice rang in Lin Yang's ear:

“You don’t belong here, and you shouldn’t have overstepped your bounds to control the summoning array. Unfortunately, I don’t have the resources to see what’s going on. Don’t use the summoning array lightly anymore. You’re being watched, and there’s probably no hope of escaping.”

"Past, Present, Future".

"There's no hope in sight..."

"Sigh..." (End of Chapter)
