Chapter 7: Bai Lian Recovers Her Strength!
The immense wings spread out, completely obscuring the last bit of white light in the Void Domain.
Looking at the colossal creature towering over her, Bai Lian’s heart began to sink uncontrollably.
Unkillable, it was unbelievable that it couldn’t even be killed by the way of the Great Tao!
Moreover, the Demon Emperor not only didn’t die, but seemed even stronger after "reviving."
Could it be a Super Saiyan?!
Bai Lian no longer had the mood to comment on these things.
She exerted all her effort and finally found an excellent opportunity through the sudden tremor of the Void Domain. Without the support of the Void Domain, what could she use to fight against the Demon Emperor?
Despair?
Such emotions surged through Bai Lian’s heart in an instant.
She gazed into the darkness before her, feeling as though the scene perfectly mirrored her current situation.
She couldn’t move forward or backward, as if death was the only thing awaiting her in this place.
No, absolutely not!
She could die, but only after killing the Demon Emperor.
Otherwise, once the bastard escaped from the Void Domain, her badly injured master and the not yet fully grown Martial Sisters would become its primary targets.
The outcome was already clear – death, and a lot of it.
What a joke!
Bai Lian tightly grasped the Heavenly Lord’s Lance in her hand.
Would all the effort she had put in be for nothing if she went out this way?
If death was inevitable, why bother trying so hard to curry favor with her master, help her Martial Sisters overcome their mental obstacles, and aid the Duxian Sect in its crisis? Isn’t it more worthwhile to imitate "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian" in the game world?
"Damn, damn, damn, damn…."
Bai Lian wasn’t sure if she was cursing her own foolishness, the Demon Emperor, or the wretched world around her. She gripped her hand so tightly that the veins stood out on the back of her hand.
"The ignorant are fearless!"
The Demon Emperor looked at Bai Lian with a mocking expression.
The Demons of the Outer Realm were not without aesthetics. They held no interest in procreation but held a sadistic love for tormenting other races.
Bai Lian’s body trembled uncontrollably, infuriating the Demon Emperor who had just shot her.
It looked down at Bai Lian, smiling triumphantly, "I was mistaken. The way of the Great Tao you have mastered is completely different from Qin Piaomiao’s. You are more likely the descendant of the Feather Emperor, but it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s the Feather Emperor, Qin Piaomiao, or an unnamed passerby, they will all meet their end at my hands today!"
The Demon Emperor’s voice suddenly rose, piercing into Bai Lian’s sea of her divine sense like a razor.
Bai Lian’s body shook violently, her mind went blank.
After accumulating a certain level of spirit Qi, one must endure a period of weakness in order to usher in the second wave of impact.
Even with the assistance of Qianhuan Real Eyes, Bai Lian cannot escape this iron law.
She lightly pressed on the faintly glowing corner of her eye and looked into the Demon Emperor’s eyes, where there was an undisguised killing intent.
She had nowhere else to go.
There was no use begging for mercy, as the Demon Emperor would never allow someone with murderous intentions to stay by its side. Believing in its words would be foolish, as the Demons of the Outer Realm have always been untrustworthy and fond of surprise attacks.
Now, there is only one path left before Bai Lian –
Self-detonation!
The Demon Emperor is bound by invisible chains and cannot avoid the intense impact produced by her self-detonation, no matter what.
How powerful is the self-detonation of a single immortal?
In other lower realms, it is definitely capable of obliterating all people or things into nothingness. Even in this Land of Immortals, the explosion can turn Mingzhou, which was once a bustling land, into the deserted Sand Region.
The only concern for Bai Lian is the immortality of the Demon Emperor, but she can only gamble!
She doesn’t believe it is a true immortality, otherwise the Demon Emperor would not need to worry at all. As long as the chains automatically dissipate, it can safely escape from trouble.
You see, she exploded with two ways of the Great Tao. The storm that was set off in that moment might even completely kill the Demon Emperor, who knows?
Even if it cannot be killed, as long as its realm can be lowered, the Master and Martial Sisters would also be regarded as safe.
Therefore…
"Even if it’s only one percent possible, I have to try it!"
The Heavenly Lord’s Lance held in Bai Lian’s hand became even more dazzling, and countless ice pillars danced around her like giant dragons.
"Ants also dare to attempt to kill gods, let me teach you what is the Heaven Demon Law!"
The Demon Emperor shouted.
The black spirit Qi spurted, carrying the sharp qi and instantly grazed Bai Lian’s wrist.
Click.
Bai Lian’s right hand was instantly chopped in half.
Nevertheless, the pretty hand that was holding the Heavenly Lord’s Lance tightly reconnected with her wrist in the next moment.
Bai Lian’s face remained unchanged, as she had accumulated enough injuries already. If Qianhuan Real Eyes failed now, she could possibly be crushed and die on the spot.
Therefore, she was no longer concerned about this trivial matter. To achieve her goal, she needed to fight for some time for herself.
"Do you really think that you can obtain the Future Mirror by killing me? Before coming here, I deliberately concealed the Future Mirror. If you kill me, you will never get it…"
"You are indeed not someone from my generation!"
Demon Emperor interrupted Bai Lian, and his eyes, illuminated by the flames, slanted upward in darkness, especially frightening.
"…"
Bai Lian remained silent.
Regardless of the process, at least the Demon Emperor has stopped the attack now.
That’s enough. After consuming a large amount of Immortal Spirit Stones, her Qi Hai dantian was already in chaos. She has at most about thirty or forty breaths of time before she can trigger a self-explosion.
Bang!
With so many Special Effects on her body, and the two opposing ways of the Great Tao, it must be very spectacular when she explodes.
Hmm.
It’s definitely not worse than the fireworks seen on New Year’s Eve with the master!
This is the last ripple she left in this world.
Blooming silently, disappearing silently.
The Demon Emperor laughed and said, "The greatest strength of the Demons of the Outer Realm lies not in the control of spirit Qi and physical body, but in the in-depth study of the soul. As long as you are here, you have no secrets unless you can destroy your soul when I am not paying attention. But do you really think you can avoid my gaze?"
The flames illuminated Bai Lian’s face.
A mournful crow echoed through the empty darkness of the night.
As the voice of the Demon Emperor fell, Bai Lian’s complexion changed abruptly.
Discovered!
It was so close, all her spirit Qi had gathered in the sea of qi dantian, and with just a small spark, she could ignite everything.
How could she accept failure here!
Bai Lian gritted her teeth and the Heavenly Lord’s Lance in her palm suddenly turned into countless rays of light rain, swirling in front of her like a great shield, while her Divine Sense pierced into her sea of qi dantian like a thunderbolt.
Stabbed-
Her sea of qi dantian boiled as if a depth charge had suddenly exploded.
It collapsed, collapsed, and continued to collapse!
After collapsing to a certain extreme, the oppressed spirit Qi finally met with a counterattack.
That was the most irritable surge of spirit Qi Bai Lian had ever seen, and as soon as they showed their fangs, they crushed her Qi Sea Dantian.
"Did it, did it happen?"
Bai Lian’s eyes brightened.
She sensed the power of Qianhuan Real Eyes rapidly declining, and when Qianhuan Real Eyes completely fell silent, the explosion triggered around her body center would sweep over the entire Void Domain!
Can’t be wrong.
Bai Lian had a premonition that she could kill the Demon Emperor with the explosion.
Death was imminent, but at this moment, a bright smile appeared on her face.
In this no retreat situation, this was the best option she could find.
Just…
Bai Lian’s gaze slightly sank.
It’s over.
Today will put an end to everything she has.
From now on, the Qiongming Peak will no longer have a rebellious disciple who thinks about pressing her master down.
From now on, the Qiongming Peak will no longer have an evil Elder Martial Sister who wants to gather all Martial Sisters together to study "mirror making".
Without her in the middle, it’s unknown if Yan Yue will continue to argue with the master.
Well, upon careful consideration, she probably won’t.
The master has shown her true strength, and Yan Yue, fundamentally, is a timid person who would not dare to ride on the master’s head even if she dares to act impulsively.
It seems unnecessary to worry about Qing Luan, without her, Qing Luan would have no reason to continue scheming against the Martial Sisters.
The same goes for Martial Sister Tong Yao and the jade rabbit.
The eldest princessss is even easier to deal with. Now, as the ruler of the Heluo Country, with the blessing of the Gate of All Living Beings, it may not take long for the Heluo Country to become a top force comparable to the four major sects.
Bai Lian’s only worry is Si Yunshang.
Would that wicked witch with evil intentions really be able to protect herself after losing her cultivation base once again?
Although it seems that the people of the Lingxu sect have reformed themselves, who knows if they will revert to their old ways if the situation changes?
With the Fourth Martial Sister and Martial Sister Qing Luan present, there shouldn’t be any problem for the time being.
It is a pity that the threat from Red Dust Heavenly Lord has yet to be eliminated, and this peaceful life can only last for a hundred years at most.
However, this is still much better than everyone dying at the hands of the Demon Emperor.
Bai Lian stared blankly at the ever-changing mist beneath her feet.
Life is like a white horse passing a crevice in the sky, suddenly vanishing without a trace.
A few years ago, she spent more than a month researching all 108 endings of "The Battle of the Gods," trying to find the legendary hidden ending, but she naturally gained nothing.
Nowadays, even with the assistance of the system, she personally enters the game but still couldn’t make it to the end.
Perhaps this is fate, for something that never had a hidden ending to begin with, how can one possibly find something that doesn’t exist?
Exhausted, let it be destroyed!
The churning white mist engulfed Bai Lian.
The Demon Emperor raised his hand, and a beam of light appeared in the pitch-black world.
At the same time.
Yu Ying and Qing Luan, who had been floating quietly on the dried-up sea, both looked up at the same time.
"Elder Martial Sister’s Divine Sense is rapidly weakening!"
"Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s physical body is starting to deteriorate!"
The two of them exchanged a glance.
At this moment, they had no mood to consider whether their actions would cause any trouble for Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
"Let’s go inside."
The two of them exclaimed in unison.
After their bodies were connected, their hearts seemed to be connected at this moment.
Without any hesitation, the two of them quickly crossed the gate that had yet to disappear in the sky.
Fog, all they could see was fog.
Yu Ying and Qing Luan could hardly see the way forward, and worst of all, their Divine Sense could only be detached by ten feet, while the surrounding space was still shaking disorderly.
"Where is Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian?"
"If we had known that Elder Martial Sister would come in, we would have followed."
However, complaining was meaningless. They could only continue to dash forward.
Perhaps the prayer in her heart was answered, as Yu Ying saw the person she had been yearning for at the edge of the black light cluster after passing through a thin layer of mist.
"Elder Martial Sister!" she exclaimed.
"Where?"
Qing Luan, who was walking behind, immediately emerged.
But at that moment, the smile on Qing Luan’s face froze.
A white pillar of light fell like a world-destroying demon lance and easily pierced through Bai Lian’s body.
Boom!
The violent explosion threw Yu Ying and Qing Luan off balance.
When they finally stabilized their bodies, they found Bai Lian kneeling on one knee, tightly holding the big hole that had appeared in her chest.
"How could this be?!"
Bai Lian was stunned.
No, there was not even a remote possibility of self-destruction.
Not only was there no self-destruction, but her Qi Sea Dantian was also unscathed.
The Demon Emperor’s voice echoed in her ears, "I believe you have forgotten what I said. The Demons of the Outer Realm are adept at manipulating souls, and creating illusions is one of their specialties."
Swish, swish.
Two beams of light pierced through Bai Lian’s body, causing her to uncontrollably spit out a mouthful of blood.
"*cough* *cough*"
Pain surged from deep within her right eye. Is her Qianhuan Real Eyes also reaching its limit?
Bai Lian had never felt so helpless.
What was it all about? Had she been overthinking everything?
She tightly bit her teeth, almost crushing them. As she continued to bite, blood dripped from the corner of her right eye, hot enough to make her whole body ache.
It hurt so much that she had to exert all her strength to suppress the urge to scream out loud.
At least she couldn’t scream in pain right now, and she couldn’t show her weakness in front of the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor looked down on everything from above, "It seems that you too have reached your limit, in that case, then I’ll…"
Suddenly, it stopped and looked to the left. Two dazzling lights suddenly appeared in the distance.
Acquaintances?
The Demon Emperor laughed, "People are always trapped by these useless emotions, so you have never been able to defeat me!"
With a wave of its hand, a beam of light shot out.
As the beam of light was about to pierce Yu Ying’s body, a blue flame suddenly appeared, which lightly and gracefully lifted Yu Ying away like a fluttering butterfly, just avoiding the beam.
"Hm?"
Demon Emperor was slightly startled.
Did its attack actually miss?
Yu Ying and Qing Luan stood in front of Bai Lian, glaring at Demon Emperor, "don’t harm my Elder Martial Sister!"
"Hahaha."
Demon Emperor laughed recklessly. Bai Lian was not even its opponent. How dare two trash powers make noise in front of it?
"Today, I will let you understand what Heavenly Lord is! Three lives, three worlds, reincarnation never ends!"
The claws of the demon descended suddenly, and the terrifying momentum almost made Yu Ying and Qing Luan kneel to the ground.
Such a big commotion still disturbed Bai Lian, who was in pain.
She tried her best to open her eyes, and through a thin layer of blood mist, she saw the two Martial Sisters who were about to be crushed by the claws of the demon.
You jerk!
Bai Lian stood up in anger and crawled, "What are you two doing? Are you crazy? Get out of here!"
Every time she spoke, she would cough up blood, her body swaying as if she could fall at any moment.
Qing Luan shouted without looking back, "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, you need to leave now. We’ll hold it off for you. If you die, no one will be able to stop it."
"You guys…"
A peculiar flush of red surged to Bai Lian’s face and she became lightheaded with anxiety and anger.
She never expected the situation to escalate into this.
They are going to die, they are definitely going to die!
Qing Luan continued to shout, "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, even if you don’t care about yourself, you have to think about Master An Lan. Please leave quickly."
What the hell was she thinking!
Bai Lian coughed up another mouthful of blood; her injuries were too severe, and she knew she couldn’t hold on any longer.
She could die, but she couldn’t let the Fourth Martial Sister and Martial Sister Qing Luan die here!
Where is the lance?
Bai Lian dimly saw the Heavenly Lord’s Lance floating in front of her and she reached out her hand with great difficulty.
Three feet.
Two feet.
When she was only a foot away from the Heavenly Lord’s Lance, no matter how hard she tried, she could not reach it.
Bai Lian was so anxious that she was sweating all over.
It’s over.
In the end, she was one step too slow.
The demon claw had already descended, and Yu Ying and Qing Luan were completely enveloped.
But before Bai Lian could feel any pain, a miraculous scene had happened.
"Roar!"
A dragon’s cry seemed to come from ancient times. The heavy and solemn aura quickly spread.
All that the Demon Emperor relied on was shattered in this angry roar.
Bang!
"What’s going on?"
The Demon Emperor looked at Qing Luan and Yu Ying in shock as the dust cleared.
Qing Luan crouched on the ground, protecting her head with both hands, while Yu Ying stood in front of her, with a giant dragon appearing behind her that was far larger than Bai Lian’s knowledge about dragons.
"Dragon God?" The Demon Emperor’s pupils shrank, but it soon relaxed. "It turned out to be just a trace of the Dragon God’s breath. Another woman also has Qing Luan’s bloodline, but it’s not the bloodline of the ancestor. Haha, haha, hahaha!"
While laughing, it once again slammed down a demon’s claw.
Yu Ying was panting heavily, she had used this move in a hurry just now, but the burden on her body was too great, and she was about to collapse.
"Let me do it, you send Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian away."
Qing Luan approached Yu Ying, having obtained Qing Luan’s full inheritance, she was at least no worse than Yu Ying.
"Don’t be silly," Yu Ying stopped Qing Luan, "I’ll block here. Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is seriously injured, only you can heal her."
"I…"
While they were arguing, the demon’s claw fell again. The dragon god’s phantom behind Yu Ying seemed to be on the verge of shattering after the collision.
"There’s no time to hesitate!" Yu Ying shouted at Qing Luan.
Qing Luan bowed her head and remained silent.
Yes.
There’s no time. One more mistake and both the Fourth Martial Sister and Martial Sister Qing Luan will die.
Bai Lian was staring at the Heavenly Lord’s Lance in front of her tightly.
Her physical body is now in pieces, but her soul still has its uses!
Long ago, her soul was cold as ice and could not be ignited, but after going through many experiences, her soul gradually loosened, became able to be cut by her master, became warm, became able to perceive external changes and took on a tangible form. There was no reason for it not to be ignited like an ordinary person.
Bai Lian tried to summon her own soul and, as expected, her soul was really ignited.
The flames intertwined.
The divine court suddenly appeared.
"Done!"
Overwhelmed with surprise, Bai Lian closed her eyes. She felt a tremendous force welling up from deep within her body. The force was so strong that it frightened her, but she still gently grasped it.
This is the reunion after millions of years!
This is a new life born in decay!
This is the potential unleashed at the end!
At that moment, the quivering Void Domain ceased its tremors.
Simultaneously, the mist shrouding the Void Domain dispersed in all directions.
In an instant, all of Bai Lian’s pain and injuries vanished without a trace.
The boundless Void Domain was sundered in twain; above it gleamed a dazzling starry sky, below it stretched an endless ocean reflecting the stars in its depths.
Within the interstice of stars and moons, the rustic lance held in Bai Lian’s palm erupted in a shimmering radiance that caught every eye.
As the patchy rust fell away, enigmatic runes were revealed, whose similarity with the Tao Halo floating around Bai Lian’s body was uncanny upon closer inspection.
"It is time to bring this to an end!"
At the sound of the frigid voice, Demon Emperor, Yu Ying, and Qing Luan stopped in their tracks, their gazes drawn to Bai Lian.
Like a flying snowflake, the woman emerged from the winter’s chill, holding a divine lance in her hand, and with unremarkable ease, she aimed a single thrust at ––
The morning sun shattered like glass, as past and present calamities were obliterated together!
