Chapter 319: The Godseal Spark (29)
He suddenly forced strength to course through his body, and the Ten Cardinals Red Lotus rumbled inside Nalan Liusuâs body and exploded! He only had one thought now: save Zhao Ziqi!
He was the one who had taken the boy in, otherwise, Zhao Ziqi wouldâve never encountered this monster. He had the duty to bring Zhao Ziqi back out without neither hide nor hair missing.
Boom!
Streaks of platinum fire rushed out of Nalan Liusuâs abdomen. This move had exhausted all of his power. The white fire-dragon even shaped a scorching-hot pillar of light inside the holy maiden!
âARGH!!!â Nalan Liusu unleashed an inhuman scream, her seven apertures flooding out with raging flames! However⊠her hand finally waved.
SwishâŠ
Zhao Ziqiâs figure had completely scattered in the air. There was no longer any trace of his spiritual sense left in the world.
âAhâŠâ A series of noiseless shouts resonated at Xu Yangyiâs ear side. The Taijis in his eyes started to gradually darken. He could see that the surrounding shadows⊠were all wailing in fright. One after another, they transformed into qi and flew away in the air.
Zhao Ziqi, had fallen.
âIs that it?â As Nalan Liusu parted her red lips and spoke, black smoke fumed out from her mouth. She easily took her hand out and exercised it, violently grabbing onto Xu Yangyiâs throat and picking him up.
âI forgot to tell you. I already died hundreds of years ago, and thereâs only one way to kill me, and thatâs spiritual sense. Perhaps⊠you have a few peculiar ancient spirit organisms. Something like that is the Spirit Parasiteâs natural predator. But, you cannot possibly possess one.â Her cherry lips gently opened, moved closer to Xu Yangyiâs ear side and uttered, âTo see your fiend die before you, do you have special regrets? Do you loathe your powerlessness? Your feebleness? It doesnât matter⊠youâll be accompanying him very soon.â
âI changed my mind. Since you have a way to shift your qi sea⊠I will send you on a journey again.â Her gaze fell on Xu Yangyiâs storage ring. âThis item, I shall receive it.â
With a gentle wave of her hand, the storage ring flew over to float behind Nalan Liusu.
Xu Yangyi tightly locked his eyes onto hers, and said with difficulty, âTell me⊠what is it⊠that can kill you things?â
âI wonât find out in this life time⊠but I definitely will in the nextâŠâ
The holy maiden smiled. âKeep dreaming, alright?â
Quick to act, she forced strength through her grip as she seized Xu Yangyiâs throat!
CrunchâŠ
The sound of a neck bone being twisted suddenly rang out. Nalan Liusu shot an apathetic glance at Xu Yangyiâs corpse and turned around and left.
In the Bluedawn Winding Corridor, an impermanant glanced at a jade medal and took a long sigh of relief. âThe Holy Maiden has won.â
âWithout the slightest exception.â Another impermanant at his side murmured, âThe Holy Maiden known as the strongest genius since the beginning of the Nalan Clanâs history. Had she not encountered a great catastrophe⊠how could the Nalan Clan be suppressed by those other clans right now?â
âYeah⊠when the Holy Maiden sets out, she is triumphant in all battles. Simply the price was a little too much.â
âHehe, to say that the Holy Maiden is unequaled in the Qi Condensation realm is not an exaggeration.â
âPuppet No.7 has never been broken, only mended at most. The Holy Maidenâs contributions do not go unnoticed.â
Inside the Reincarnation Puppet, Nalan Liusu casually beckoned and glanced somewhat fondly at the male corpse laying on the ground.
âAny time I emerge is precious to me. Unfortunately, there is only endless battle, war, and struggleâŠâ she sighed, âIâve killed too, too many opponents, but not once has someone accompanied me for a cup of tea.â
She quietly heaved out a sigh and waited three seconds. However, she turned her head in shock to look behind her!
Where was the storage ring?
She had no habit of wearing them on her hand, so she had made it float in the air, butâŠ
At this moment, the ring had not flown over to her palm!
Her gaze quickly cut over. As far as her eye ventured forward⊠the room was a deserted expanse!
How was that possible?
Swoosh!!!
Three pairs of butterfly wings promptly grew out from her body, and she vigilantly stared all around her surroundings. The area was very peaceful, but in this spell of tranquility a faint noise echoed!
CrackâŠ
Soft, very soft, yet this noise caused her to look over incredulously!
It⊠was the nameless man she had just killed!
Xu Yangyi was left wholly unaware, only knowing that he had sunk into darkness. He shouldâve died, and yet⊠at this moment, he could âseeâ something!
In the infinite darkness, to his surprise, a cocoon⊠that cocoon in his qi sea was tenaciously hanging at his waist by a thread of silk! It was suspended at the middle of his waist!
That thread of silk⊠was stretching out from a small split-open gap!
Below him was endless darkness, endless void. Even if he now felt he had already died, his unconscious mind told him that if he continued to fall, then he would be genuinely dead. Truly dead!
âBloodline Elysial Bestowment⊠Life Hangs By A ThreadâŠâ a majestic voice radiated from the cocoon. He actually hadnât died by some kind of miracle!
So it⊠had saved him?
He studied the cocoon, uncertainly. Promptly, he felt a boundless strength pour into his body!
Crack crack crackâŠ
At this moment in the outer world, Nalan Liusu looked all around in amazement!
Breaking apart⊠Breaking apart!
There was something⊠Something inside that manâs body! It had saved his life! Yet that was not the only thing!
If that man hadnât been supplemented with follow-up qi, he wouldâve died without a doubt in at most six hours! In a comparison of willpower now, however, the thing suspending the manâs life was practically akin to a grand magus towering above a paltry magician!
âWh-What in the world is this thing?!â Even as valiant as she was, she could not conceal the alarm in her eyes. She could sense a powerful⊠incomparably dreadful⊠consciousness that could even be said to be like a demon-god! It was recovering inside that manâs body!
HuuummmâŠ
The walls around collectively shook! Her heart was beating like a drum. She knew that space was ripping apart!
The will of an absolute powerhouse was tearing the room apart in a hurry!
BOOM!
At this time, the willpower inside Xu Yangyiâs body completely exploded, and a voice that was enough to shake the world echoed in Nalan Liusuâs ear!
âAzure Lotus Demonic Art⊠Lotus Reincarnation!â
This⊠was Xiaoqingâs will!
Presently below Danxia Temple, a woman wearing a palace dress was idly watching a soap opera. Without warning, her brows furrowed.
âThe Azure Lotus Demonic Art activated again?â
âThat boy⊠met a strong foe, huhâŠâ Her beautiful eyes roamed about, and she said indifferently, âHeâs up above⊠how could he reach this state again?â
âOnce this art is fully exhibited, one will be revived so long as a breath remains. That boyâs gifts are surprisingly high. Except for an ancient cultivator, no one should be able to kill him⊠Could it be that he did not take This Palaceâs Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens?â
All in all, this shaped a perfect coincidence here.
So long as one didnât instantly die, the Azure Lotus Demonic Art would immediately restore the user in several seconds. It just so happened now that while the cocoon hadnât awakened, it was soon to. It had instinctually sensed danger. As soon as Xu Yangyi died, it was doomed to no longer exist in the world. Through the activation of its bloodline Elysial Bestowment, it had saved Xu Yangyiâs life. It was this that allowed the demon slayer to survive from the hand of Nalan Liusu, an ancient cultivator from centuries ago!
In astonishment, Nalan Liusu watched the boundless azure light wafting off from Xu Yangyiâs body. The light formed a strange lotus flower and tightly embraced him. Even outside, she could hear the crackling of his bones healing!
âWhere is this supremacy?!â Cold sweat drenched her, and she looked before her in disbelief. âThe dead given life, white bone granted flesh⊠What kind of realm is this?â
âI fear⊠that even if the Old Ancestor of the Nalan Clan was resurrected, he wouldnât be his opponent⊠no⊠certainly wouldnât be an opponent!â
âHow terribleâŠâ She pursed her lips and turned around to leave, no longer without a single trace of longing.
She clearly understood her purpose to the Nalan Clan. They absolutely wouldnât allow her to die here!
But just as she turned her head, she was dazed again!
SwishâŠ
A noiseless sound quietly echoed in front of her. An entirely green stem, roughly only half a forearm long and covered in bloody lines, gently swayed over a bamboo leaf. Like a dire beast on the prowl, it floated in front of her, seemingly akin to a hunting pterosaur!
In a flash, a sensation that almost caused her legs to grow softâimmense terrorâsuddenly pervaded her entire body like an ocean!
âThisâŠâ Nalan Liusuâs mouth dropped wide open. She wanted to cry out in surprise, but she subconsciously held her tongue. Merely her voice was shaking because of extreme dread. âSpirit⊠Spirit Ascending Bamboo?! Spirit Ascending Bamboo?! How could there be such a thing?!?!â
As powerful and fierce as she was, fright now colored her eyes as she cowered away and shivered, her back against a wall.
Food chain!
This oppressive might originated from the bloodline!
In the world, including the cultivation world, this was a law of existence that would never be broken for all eternity!
Before, filled with regret, Xu Yangyi had asked if there was something able to kill her. She hadnât spoken.
That was fear.
A natural fear to such a thing. To mention it would make her feel lingering trepidation!
If said that the Spirit Parasite had a weak point, its greatest weakness was this item that existed in legend! She did not what function Spirit Ascending Bamboo had. She only knew⊠that thing was her and the other Reincarnation Puppetsâ natural enemy! And its name was three words long.
She understood without a doubt, memorized it all too well, its name not even once wiped away in the last hundred years! Shockingly, that three-character name was⊠Spirit Ascending Bamboo!
âNo! That canât be! NO!â Hands slick with cold sweat, she dug into a wall with her fingers. Between the great terror of life and death, she suddenly realized something.
Why would the Spirit Ascending Bamboo appear?
Why had the storage ring disappeared?
It was simple⊠because the Spirit Ascending Bamboo had always been in the storage ring! Yet there was only one kind of way to gain the items inside a storage ring, and that was to dispel the previous masterâs imprint! Or request a grand talismancer⊠or directly kill the original owner!
Moments ago⊠Xu Yangyi had indeed died. It was in this fleeting moment that the items inside the storage ring immediately lost their imprints! This Spirit Ascending Bamboo, though⊠had sensed an inherently delicious aroma, and rushed out impatiently!
In the instant Xu Yangyi had died⊠the bamboo stalk had actually dug him out from his grave!
âHe⊠How could he have a spirit object of this level?!â From shock, she regained her wits and burst into an uproar, âRetreat!!!â
Hum!
Her silhouette swiftly transformed into a stream of flowing light. As if time was imminent, several bamboo leaves of the meager existence that was the Spirit Ascending Bamboo quickly unfolded as she dashed upwards. Unexpectedly, a feather-soft slap echoed, and she, who was in the form of light, was forcibly swatted away from returning to her original place!
Crack⊠CrackâŠ
A fine crack appeared in the middle of the bamboo. In the next second, it loudly split into two halves, as if it had become a book! Yet inside were rings and rings of teeth-like talismans!
âNo⊠NO!!!â Nalan Liusu found herself in the grip of fear. She had absolutely not expected that killing Xu Yangyi would actually bring such a result! Especially since he still hadnât died! Innate fear within her bloodline left her heart virtually unable to resist! Furthermore⊠she understood even more clearly that the Spirit Ascending Bamboo was classified as an ancient spirit-object. Once a creature like her was discovered she would find no freedom! Neither was she an opponent by any stretch of the imagination!
Yes⊠what the Spirit Ascending Bamboo wanted to eat was not her⊠but rather the Spirit Parasite!
But, she had possessed the Spirit Parasiteâs body⊠she was the same as the Spirit Parasite!
âNOOO!!!â
A wretched scream that tore at her throat was akin to a bell, suddenly calling upon Xu Yangyiâs eyes to open from the darkness.
He opened his eyes. The surrounding area was an azure domain, but as he woke up the azure light all transformed into motes of qi and disappeared.
Before his eyes, though, another scene emerged before him that shook his mind!
At this moment, Nalan Liusu surprisingly resembled a newborn infant. Talismans surfaced into view on her body, and she sluggishly opened her eyes. Floating in the air, she couldnât take a single action. The talismans seemed to pass through from her body, glittering little by little. With each glint, her expression became a fraction grayer.
To Xu Yangyiâs amazement, she didnât possess the slightest hair of spiritual force!
