Chapter 55: Barrier Realm

The blinding brilliance of the Nascent Soul projection slowly began to fade. High above, the towering giant dissolved into countless motes of starlight, returning the sky to its natural scenery.

With a single step, Lin Yuan descended from the sky. His elegant black-and-white Daoist robes fluttering as he seamlessly reappeared in the courtyard, his feet touching down softly before the lightning sphere.

Inside the spherical cage, Xu Canghai was still on his knees, his face tilted upward, utterly mesmerized by the sight that had just graced the heavens.

The Clan Head of the Xu Clan was trembling, from a profound reverence. In his nearly four centuries of life, through all his violent conquests and bitter cultivation, he had only witnessed the manifestation of a Nascent Soul projection four times. Once, as a child, when a wandering hermit crossed the province; twice during expeditions to ancient ruins; and once from a supreme envoy of the central continent.
