Xu Lingjun silently calculated in his heart, the time was almost up.

Ten minutes.

His fighting style suddenly changed, from grand and powerful to nimble and swift. He especially flipped his wrist as if holding something invisible, slashing straight at the opponent’s neck!

Although Aemon couldn’t see the Invisible Sword, with such a flamboyant momentum, he clearly knew that in this Secret Realm, there were many technologies completely different from the outside world. Who knows, this kid might be...

Though he didn’t know the length of the weapon.

He turned to avoid the edge, striking back at Xu Lingjun’s chest with his palm. After sparring for so long, he understood that the strength of the King of the Secret Realm was comparable to his own. Even with all his strength, he couldn’t kill him with one punch.

No need to worry about the Cultivation Technique being in vain.

Yet, even knowing that this punch absolutely couldn’t kill the King of the Secret Realm, he was still astonished. He only felt that this blow seemed to hit an indestructible iron wall, causing his palm to splatter blood and crack bones instantly.

A scream of agony...

Accompanied by a rising white veil of light.

A pure white and dazzling glow, like moonlight, but not shining down from the sky, rather extending forth from Xu Lingjun’s hand, blocking Aemon’s full-force strike and instead severely injuring him...

Then, trapping him in place.

Xu Lingjun finally heaved a sigh of relief, holding in his hand an object that seemed like a mirror yet not a mirror.

The light emerged from this mirror... firmly imprisoning Aemon.

Leaving Aemon completely immobile.

Xu Lingjun said, "Do you know why it took so long to kill Caludia?"

Aemon no longer had the ability to respond, only looking with terror at the mirror in Xu Lingjun’s hand...

On its surface, inscribed with incomprehensibly intricate magical inscriptions, as the light shone, the inscriptions flowed constantly like swimming fish, giving one a sense of the infinite cosmos.

Just a mere mirror, yet it brought to mind the cosmos, the sun, and all those lofty and untouchable sacred things.

Just looking at these inscriptions conjured countless chaotic thoughts in Aemon’s mind, feeling as if he had grasped some profound mystery.

Yet he couldn’t afford to feel delighted...

Because he was already controlled.

Bound tightly, unable to move.

Even his body started to feel a burning sensation... He felt as if he were exposed under the scorching sun, with all sins and errors laid bare, judged by the intense sunlight.

And he, unable to move...

Xu Lingjun seemed uninterested in Aemon’s answer and said, "It was mainly to experiment with the effect of this Vast Heaven Mirror, so it took quite a bit of time..."

Choosing the first Magical Treasure was a dilemma for Xu Lingjun.

The first thought was a flying sword.

But Xu Lingjun already had the Sword of Oath and Victory, the power of Excalibur was formidable. Although its straightforwardness had many limitations, he could use this weapon even if transformed into Ultraman Tiga.

And since Magical Treasures hadn’t yet appeared in this world, to catch the opponent off guard, the shape had to be unique enough; a flying sword wouldn’t do.

Thus...

Xu Lingjun spent over twenty thousand Source Value to endow the Heavenly Mirror with its power.

It could attack, defend, trap, and kill.

Simply an all-around weapon...

The only drawback might be that it consumed an enormous amount of Spiritual Power.

But even Bai Mei couldn’t use the Heavenly Mirror while taking spare time to kill the enemy. Xu Lingjun being able to wield this Magical Treasure already satisfied him greatly.

Especially from the prior experiment and verification with Caludia...

He could wield the Heavenly Mirror, and as long as it shone upon the opponent, they would surely die.

However, it consumed so much that Xu Lingjun didn’t even have time to pop an Immortal Bean into his mouth.

Thus, it had to hit... so it’s best to release the mirror when the enemy attacks with full force, giving them no time to dodge.

If it missed, it might... give the enemy a chance to land some fierce punches?

In some sense, this mirror and the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique were indeed a perfect match.

Xu Lingjun had no intention of explaining to Aemon, just watching as his body slowly bled, then dissolved under the mirror’s light, gradually vanishing in that pure white beam.

Aemon just disappeared like that...

From the moment he launched a full attack on Xu Lingjun, he had utterly lost all chances of survival, even abandoning the opportunity to flee.

Putting away the Vast Heaven Mirror.

Xu Lingjun took a deep breath, popping an Immortal Bean into his mouth.

The consumed Spiritual Power quickly restored to its original state, and he could even feel substantial progress in his cultivation within... Hmm, this extreme consumption and then replenishment felt somewhat like a Super Saiyan’s trait.

In the future during cultivation, it wasn’t a bad idea to use the Heavenly Mirror along with Immortal Beans.

Moreover, he could refine his control over the Heavenly Mirror in the process...

It was practically killing two birds with one stone.

After successfully slaying Aemon and regaining his energy, Xu Lingjun did not linger, but directly dashed towards Renault’s direction.

The strength of a Creation Realm Grandmaster is incredibly strong. If they came two years later, by then, whether it’s Han Yun City or Li Jingjun, they would likely have the strength to contend with them. Even if they couldn’t win, they could surely protect themselves with ease.

But as for now...

He had to take on the responsibility alone.

Actually, the Ancient Tree wasn’t adept in combat and should be the first to receive care...

But alas, people have biases after all.

Xu Lingjun naturally worried more about his people...

He had deliberately chosen a battlefield earlier, and the distance avoided by the three of them wasn’t too far. Even with his speed, it took him more than a minute to reach Renault’s location.
