Chapter 22: Bai Lian Has Come! (2)
“Ha ha ha…”
The ember laughed wildly.
Thanks to Bai Lian and the green dragon.
Their relentless attacks back and forth had given her hope!
“I must repay you!
Bai Lian, when I become an Immortal Emperor, I will imprison you, so you can experience the agony of being confined for 30,000 years.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“?!”
Bai Lian, who had transformed into the Snow Spirit Lord state, paused behind the ember.
She scratched her head.
What’s going on here?
Had the ember been driven mad by the pain?
Forget it.
Since she couldn’t figure it out, she decided not to dwell on it.
Bai Lian swung her fist, slamming it into the ember’s head with force.
Duang——
The ember’s body stiffened abruptly, then collapsed straight to the ground.
“Damn it. I was overly worried,” Bai Lian muttered.
Not strong at all.
Relief swept through her heart. After all, the task reward was Soft Skill +9. She had assumed she’d have to battle the ember for half a day to exhaust it.
But now, it seemed she had overestimated the threat posed by Soft Skill +9!
“Die!”
Bai Lian swung her fists relentlessly, pounding the ember.
“How dare you think of taking over my body!
Those who try to possess me all meet the same fate—death!”
The ember was momentarily stunned by Bai Lian’s furious strikes.
Wait.
What just happened?
Who is she? Where is she? What’s going on?
Right.
It had mastered the Great Tao of Sword. It was destined to become the Sword Emperor!
“Bai Lian, how dare you insult me!”
The ember leapt to its feet, and the power of Qianhuan Real Eyes erupted in an instant.
A storm tore through the void, shredding the ember’s form into fragments.
Pappa!
After two more punches, the ember realized something terrifying.
When it broke the altar, it had burned its own essence. While it had reached the realm of the Immortal Emperor, its spiritual Qi was too depleted to unleash skills matching that level!
Even worse, Bai Lian was a reincarnated Immortal Emperor.
Even if she had been just an ordinary cultivator at the Soul Changing Stage, she could still crush the ember effortlessly!
“No, this can’t be happening!”
It had just reached the pinnacle of power, barely tasted its glory. How could it end like this?
Desperate, the ember tried to escape once more.
But this time, it failed.
Under the piercing gaze of Bai Lian’s Qianhuan Real Eyes, the ember fled aimlessly, finally seeking refuge in the altar.
Bai Lian wasn’t about to let it go.
She stepped onto the altar with one foot, then reached out, prying open the cracks in the altar with raw strength.
After all, she was “born with immense strength.”
“How dare you try to take over my Martial Sister’s body? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Grabbing the ember by its neck, Bai Lian yanked it out of the altar’s fissures.
The ember struggled desperately, but in its weakened state, it was no match for Bai Lian.
“The Sea Turns to Dust!”
The power of Qianhua Real Eyes was unleashed, and the ember fell into an endless illusion instantly.
Its fragile soul could no longer withstand the overwhelming impact. As it teetered on the verge of being blown away by the wind, its lips trembled, uttering its final words:
“You are my disaster!”
The ember perished, consumed by reluctance.
The Immeasurable Disaster?
The Immeasurable Disaster paled in comparison to Bai Lian. She had torn it apart effortlessly.
Even in death, the ember could not fathom the essence of Bai Lian’s Tao. Perhaps it was the Great Tao of Blank?
Black ashes drifted above the altar.
Bai Lian remained motionless, her expression thoughtful.
She had managed to capture most of the ember’s memories.
Previously, she had wondered how Ling Xuan had escaped the ember’s grasp. Now, she understood.
This ember had been on the brink of death. It was highly likely that it had already died when the Fifth Martial Sister entered the Green Dragon Relic in the game.
Additionally, Bai Lian gleaned insights from the ember’s memories about the chaos caused by the Ancient Starry Sky Road. She also learned that, with the arrival of the Immeasurable Disaster, two blank paths of the Great Tao would emerge in the world.
The entire cultivation realm would descend into turmoil.
But perhaps, amidst this chaos, she could find a way to save Shifu.
Bai Lian sighed quietly. She intended to pass the ember’s cultivation methods on to the Fifth Martial Sister.
At that moment, the skeleton of the green dragon beneath her feet began to tremble.
“What’s happening?”
Bai Lian and Ling Xuan both fixed their eyes on the dragon’s bones.
The green dragon’s skeleton, which had been lifeless moments ago, slowly raised its head.
The altar, originally used to seal the ember, shattered like glass.
Bai Lian and Ling Xuan were enveloped by the white stars scattered across the sky.
This force was gentle, yet carried an irresistible, overpowering will.
Within seconds, they were lifted and carried onto the back of the green dragon skeleton’s neck.
As they landed, a thick fog surrounded the skeleton, making it appear as though the green dragon had come back to life.
“Roarrrrr—”
A deafening roar echoed from the depths of the void.
It tore through space barriers, traversed the boundless starry sky, and pierced the dense mist before resounding over Yao Xia Bay.
“??”
The entire city awoke in a frenzy of panic.
At Yaotai Pavilion, two scholars, reciting poetry, were the first to notice the disturbance.
Under the luminous moonlight, a green glow pierced the darkness. A crack split the sea open, revealing first the dragon’s claw, then its beard, head, and massive body.
“So, so, so… big!”
One of the scholars stammered in disbelief, his right hand trembling as he clenched his scroll.
“Hiss—”
Everyone present gasped collectively.
The green dragon stretched hundreds of miles in length.
“A dragon—it’s a real dragon!”
Meanwhile, Ling Xuan, overcome with excitement, grabbed Bai Lian’s arm and shook it vigorously.
“Stop shaking! Stop shaking!”
Bai Lian’s face turned pale.
She wasn’t afraid of heights, but a foreboding sense of doom gnawed at her.
“Give me a break!”
Bai Lian wanted to scream those very words. If things continued like this, she felt she wouldn’t last much longer.
