Chapter 242: Chapter 211: The Immortal Descends to the World 1
You, a heart demon born from negative energy, dare to belittle my master! the cat puppet retorted coldly.
Just a tiny puppet, it’s not your place to speak. I’ll tear you apart right now.
The woman in white armor, holding her halberd, rose slowly and began to walk towards the cat puppet.
The puppet’s facial expression strained as she speeded up her spell crafting, conjuring symbols that filled the sky, constantly blending into the bronze halberd.
Simultaneously, Xu Mu’s spiritual power was draining as if a gate was opened, running dry at an alarming rate.
Damn it!
Xu Mu wanted to curse. Their battle was affecting everyone else unnecessarily.
The puppet didn’t care, speeding up her spell even faster, quickly reducing Xu Mu’s internal spiritual power to the bottom.
The symbols attached to his body began to draw his life force to convert it into energy, continuously channeling it to provide unfaltering power for the puppet cat woman.
Unexpectedly, the source of this energy happens to be the Crystal Mountains they had conquered.
He summoned the system to examine it, discovering that his life force was reducing drastically like a countdown.
[Lifespan: 118/892]!
[Lifespan: 118/890]!
[Lifespan: 118/888]!
[Lifespan: 118/511]!
[Lifespan: 118/400]!
Watching his lifespan decrease, Xu Mu felt like his heart was bleeding.
Originally, he could have leisurely advanced to Nascent Soul, but now everything had turned into a vain illusion.
What’s more, to squeeze out the most from their bodies, the symbols didn’t hesitate to have them absorb the spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth.
You must know that the spiritual energy contained evil yin spirit.
Xu Mu was not aware of the others’ condition, but his own situation was critical.
The golden pill which had become perfectly round and golden through three advancements had begun to manifest slivers of black smoke, quickly spreading. It was fully corroded by the evil spirit, turning from a golden pill into a black pill.
Unless Xu Mu was to turn to the Demonic Dao, there was no hope for advancing to Nascent Soul.
The idea of switching to the Demonic Dao had just appeared, only to become a thing of the past instantly.
Because Xu Mu’s Golden Pill had started to crack!!
Excessive consumption of energy caused this inevitable situation.
Even the Benyuan Golden Pill was going to turn into fuel.
Crack!
Boom!
The Golden Pill completely shattered, transforming into an endless supply of energy.
Now he no longer needed to worry about whether to practice the Demonic Dao.
As the Gold Pill shattered, his life force took another huge plunge.
[Lifespan: 118/300]!
If it hadn’t been for his vast lifespan, it would have already run out by now.
While Xu Mu narrowly survived, the others weren’t so fortunate.
Although their cultivation base was higher than Xu Mu’s, their remaining lifespan was not as long. After their energy was drained and their Golden Pills shattered, their lifespans soon ran out.
The one who reacted the most was the purple-faced fat man. His originally pitch-black hair turned snow white and withered in the blink of an eye.
The others also quickly showed signs of aging.
Fear was evident in each of their eyes, with not a trace of the domineering aura of the Golden Core Stage.
Meanwhile, as their Golden Pills shattered, the pillars of light in the sky suddenly doubled in size. The aura of the puppet cat woman surged even further, finally halting the woman in white armor’s advance.
Stop struggling, with your strength, there’s no way you can pry the spirit treasure’s control from my hands!” the woman in white armor said indifferently.
Despite the bronze halberd in her hands violently struggling, she didn’t seem to be worried at all.
The white woman continued, “The Crystal Source Array has been damaged due to the spatial shift and the power you are mobilizing isn’t even one percent of its prime. It’s laughable that you’ve enlisted the help of these insignificant Golden Core Stage cultivators to activate the Array!
Once their lifespan is exhausted, it’ll be your end!
But I could give you a chance to live!
The ban on the soul of her avatar prevents anything with her aura from appearing in this small space. Since you can appear here, there mustn’t be the spiritual imprint of her incarnation inside you!
If you let me leave a mark in your heart core, I’ll not only spare your life, but upon returning to the Immortal World, I can bestow upon you a real soul.”
The woman in white armor spoke in a captivating tone.
Already nearly drained, the others were startled by the white-armored woman’s words.
What’s going on?
The Immortal World?
Could the woman before them be the legendary immortal?
In a world where even reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage is legendary, they, being in the Golden Core Stage, were actually up against a descended Immortal.
How extraordinarily fantastic!
In response to the persuasion from the white-armored woman, the puppet cat remained silent, completely draining the energy from the six in a blink of an eye.
Six seals flew out from the bodies of the six and melted into the body of the puppet cat. All six fell to the ground, with only a weak breath left, as delicate as a candle flame, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
With the support of these seals, the bronze halberd began to gradually escape the woman in white armor’s grasp.
The ever calm and composed white-armored woman finally changed her expression.
Whoosh!
The last dark ancient tree inherently stirred madly.
Evil Qi in the entire space, like a draining whirlpool, concentrated at an extreme speed here. The woman in white armor’s face contorted, revealing a crazed expression devoid of rationality.
You heart demon, you’re unable to suppress your true nature after all!
The puppet cat had a look of mockery and ridicule on her face.
I’ll rip you apart now!”
The white-armored woman roared angrily, appearing like a completely different person. Her body radiated a heavy Yin Sha Qi as she leaped into the air, swinging her halberd at the Puppeteer Catwoman in the sky.
Crack!
Just like broken glass, the sky filled with dense fractures under the impact of the halberd.
This halberd blow shattered space itself!
Its power had reached the legendary Refining Void level!
Although the Puppeteer Catwoman, enhanced by layers of power, had reached a considerably high level, it was evident that she couldn’t withstand this strike.
Just as she was about to be torn apart, the white-armored woman abruptly halted in her tracks.
Her pitch-black hollow eyes suddenly glowed with a blue light that rapidly spread and finally transformed into bright blue pupils.
Master! You have finally awakened!
Joy spread across the Puppeteer Catwoman’s face.
A brief confusion crossed the white-armored woman’s face, but she quickly regained her composure.
So much time has already passed, huh!
She muttered to herself.
The next moment, she suddenly reversed her halberd, brutally stabbing herself in the chest.
Her body, which had appeared indestructible to people like Xu Mu, was easily pierced by the bronze halberd.
No blood was shed, but the body of the white-armored woman, pierced by the halberd, was covered with countless fractures like a porcelain vessel.
Master! Why are you doing this?
A look of shock and incredulity crossed the Puppeteer Catwoman’s face.
She had worked tirelessly to wake her master, never expecting this outcome.
This body has been completely corroded by the ancient demonic Qj. There’s not the slightest hope of salvation. If I don’t destroy it while I’m still conscious, the Demonic thoughts would soon reawaken!”
The white-armored woman spoke softly, almost as if she was talking to herself.
I knew already when you lifted the ban on my soul.
A woman identical to the white-armored woman appeared behind the Puppeteer Catwoman.
It was the same woman who had gathered people to enter the secret realm, also the other self of the white-armored woman.
Master!
The Puppeteer Catwoman called out respectfully once again.
You’ve done well.” The other self nodded at her. A smile spread across the Puppeteer Catwoman’s face, and she transformed into a beam of white light that flew into a small pouch on her waist.
IlTl
“I’ve severed the connection between us. From now on, you’re an independent individual,” the white-armored woman told her other self.
I understand!
The other self nodded. This was something she had anticipated.
When they fled from the Immortal World, the main body had been corroded by Demonic Qi. They came to the mortal world and constructed this space, hoping to cleanse the body of the Qi in seclusion, but instead, the Qi gained dominance, causing the main body to fall into a slumber.
The other self was split off during the spatial construction and tasked with guarding the entrance.
Worried that the other self would also be influenced by the Demonic Qi, the main body placed a restriction on her, preventing her from entering the smaller space.
Thus, the current situation arose.
Now that the main body was beyond salvation, the original other self had become the new main body.
There are some materials inside that will be enough to enhance your power by another level!”
The main body tossed a ring to the other self and continued, “I will use my remaining power to open the passage to the Spiritual Realm. Wait for my signal, then I’ll give you the Sky-splitting Halberd!”
I understand!” Nodding, the other self stored the ring carefully.
Even though she could no longer perceive the main body’s thoughts, their former unity as a single body gave them enough trust in each other.
Remember, you must find His Highness!
Having said that, the main body pulled out the bronze halberd from her chest, gathered all her remaining power, and swung it at the void.
Boom!
The earth and sky seemed to shatter, and a huge pitch-black crack appeared in the void. The other self transformed into a streak of light and plunged into it without hesitation.
The main body retrieved the Sky-splitting Halberd, waving her arm to throw it into the crack.
At that moment, a stream of black mist suddenly flew out from the black- masked man and entered the main body’s broken corpse instantaneously.
As the black mist entered, the white-armored woman’s movement to throw the halberd came to a sudden stop, her bright blue pupils once again filled with the black Qi.
I thought it was just a little secret realm filled with negative energy. I didn’t expect to find an Immortal Puppeteer here! Hahahaha! Ancestor I am truly blessed!”
Old Ancestor Tianhe! Wait till I leave seclusion, I will uproot your Tianhe Sect entirely, turn all the disciples into ghosts, and enslave all of them forever! Haha!”
Old Ancestor Tongyou, controlling the body of the white-armored woman, burst into excited, frenzied laughter.
He couldn’t help it. The opportunity this time was too great, even he, who had lived for thousands of years, was unable to contain his excitement and had to vent it.
Back in the day, when he escaped from Old Ancestor Tianhe’s trap, he was left with merely a wisp of residual soul. Not only was he unable to cultivate anymore, seeking revenge was also impossible. He only wished to leave a legacy behind.
He chose a cultivator to possess and nurtured him to the Golden Core Stage in the guise of a grandfather. Finding concentrated Demonic Qi near the Cloud Peak Mountain Range, he came to investigate and met a woman who forced him into the secret realm.
Although he was sure he would die, luck was on his side and he obtained a tremendous opportunity.
As for the fate of his disciple, compared to his opportunity, it was less than insignificant.
As long as he could fuse with this Immortal Puppeteer, he would instantly become invincible; he would achieve eternal life.
While this Qi-filled body was lethal to others, it was an invaluable treasure to him.
Damn it! How could this happen!
The other self, who had already entered the spatial passage and heard the laughter from behind, coupled with the late arrival of the Sky-splitting Halberd, immediately realized that something unexpected had occurred.
However, now she couldn’t go back. She could only gather most of her power, sending a Spiritual Force imprint behind her, hoping it could kill her adversary.
As for the Sky-splitting Halberd, she would have to find a way to retrieve it in the future.
Old Ancestor Tongyou, who had just obtained the body, was unable to dodge the sudden attack and was hit directly.
Crack!
The white-armored woman, whose body was already full of fractures, was instantly shattered, and a torrent of Demonic Qi flowed out.
The Sky-splitting Halberd of unknown rank was also knocked out of hand.
No!
Old Ancestor Tongyou let out a furious roar.
Just then, a white figure leaped up from the ground, bit onto the bronze halberd, and transformed into a white beam of light that flew towards the distance.
