"This...this..." An elder's whisk fell to the ground with a "thud," but he was completely unaware.

Every wrinkle on his aged face trembled.

The younger disciples were utterly dumbfounded. Some rubbed their eyes hard, some pinched their thighs, and others stood there dumbfounded, motionless.

Only one thought was in their minds: This is impossible!

Wei Ji's pupils contracted violently, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, but he couldn't utter a sound.

His Dao heart trembled violently at that moment; that was a full-force attack from a half-step Void Refinement cultivator!

Even their Xuantian Sect's most prized treasure, the "Xuantian Seal," would surely be reduced to ashes under such an attack. How could this seemingly frail woman possibly...?

"Master...Master..." A disciple tugged at the sleeve of the elder beside him, his voice trembling, "Is this really happening?"

The elder did not answer. He himself was also doubting whether what he had seen was real.

What does being at the half-step Void Refinement stage mean? It means having already touched upon the laws of heaven and earth!

Throughout the long history of the cultivation world, there has never been a case of someone with Nascent Soul cultivation being able to withstand a half-step Void Refinement without suffering any damage!

In the center of the battlefield, Bai Ying's figure remained spotless.

Her pure white robes hung down silently, without a single wrinkle. It was as if the devastating attack just moments before was nothing more than a gentle breeze in spring.

"Who exactly is she?" Wei Ji finally found his voice, but it was hoarse beyond recognition.

This question, like a persistent boil, grew wildly in the minds of all cultivators.

The fact that Bai Ying could so easily neutralize a killing move from a half-step Void Refinement cultivator suggests that her origins are probably a thousand times more terrifying than their wildest fantasies!

For the first time, fear appeared in the golden toad's eyes. It suddenly opened its ferocious mouth and spewed out a cloud of emerald green venom.

"Ten-thousand-year-old toad poison!"

This is no ordinary venom; every drop contains the essence of its life force cultivated over thousands of years.

Wherever the venom passed, even the space itself was corroded, leaving spiderweb-like black cracks, and emitting a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.

Several Xuantian Sect disciples who were too close turned pale and their flesh turned purple the moment they smelled the odor.

Bai Ying's eyes turned cold, and her slender fingers formed a sword gesture:

"Spiritual Connection Pierces Through the Void!"

A silver-white sword light slashed through the sky, seemingly slow but actually so fast that it transcended the concept of time.

Wherever the sword passed, space was neatly sliced ​​open like a thin sheet of paper, forming a perfect circular void rift.

Previously, Bai Ying had never understood why the sword manual said that the upgraded version of the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Breaking Slash could cure poison, but she didn't know how to do it.

Now she finally understands!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

A chilling scene unfolded.

Just as the toxins were about to touch Bai Ying, they seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, changing their trajectory and shooting precisely into the void rift.

In the blink of an eye, the Ten Thousand Year Toad Poison, which was enough to kill even a Nascent Soul cultivator, vanished without a trace.

"The laws of space...!" An elder knelt down, his voice trembling with sobs, "How is this possible..."

The golden toad stood frozen in place. It had guarded this place for thousands of years and had seen countless so-called geniuses, but it had never encountered such a terrifying existence.

Just as it was horrified, a terrifying aura that made its soul tremble suddenly erupted from Bai Ying's hand.

"laugh!"

A dragon scale shimmering with seven-colored light streaked through the air. The scale was no bigger than a palm, yet it exuded the terrifying aura of a Nascent Soul stage expert, causing space to collapse inch by inch wherever it passed.

"Ten Thousand Toads in Golden Armor!" The golden toad screamed and spat out its life-bound mucus, which condensed in the air into twelve dazzling golden barriers.

Each barrier contains the power of a thousand years of cultivation, enough to withstand a full-force attack from a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.

"Smack!"

The moment the dragon scales struck the slime barrier, the entire space seemed to freeze.

Just as a hint of smugness flashed in the golden toad's compound eyes, the dragon scale suddenly trembled eerily, and spiderweb-like gray patterns appeared on its surface. Those patterns wriggled like living creatures, emanating a chilling, decaying aura.

"This...this is..." The golden toad's voice suddenly turned shrill and piercing, "Ancient corrosive power?!"

It watched in horror as its carefully crafted life-bound slime visibly decayed and deteriorated, the once gleaming golden barrier instantly transforming into a foul-smelling black pus. Even more terrifying, the eerie corrosive force, like a persistent, insidious infection, frantically burrowed into its body through its connection to the slime!

"No."

The golden toad let out a mournful cry and decisively severed its connection with the slime.

Its form transformed into a golden streak of light as it attempted to flee. However, freed from the obstruction of the slime, the dragon scale instantly regained its freedom and pursued at an even greater speed!

"Mysterious Golden Armor!"

In desperation, the golden toad summoned an ancient golden shield. This was its natal defensive magic weapon, forged over three hundred years, with ninety-nine defensive array patterns carved on its surface, which had helped it withstand countless fatal attacks.

"boom!"

The moment the dragon scales collided with the golden shield, the entire space trembled violently.

The Xuan Tian Sect members stared wide-eyed at the scene they would never forget.

The golden shield, which was said to be able to withstand a strike from the Void Refinement stage, cracked inch by inch in front of that seemingly ordinary dragon scale!

"Click."

With a crisp cracking sound, the golden shield shattered completely. The dragon scales continued their trajectory, piercing straight through the golden toad's abdomen, bringing with them a cloud of golden blood mist.

"puff!"

The golden toad suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden blood, its eyes filled with disbelief. It looked down at the bowl-sized hole in its abdomen, feeling its spiritual energy rapidly draining away.

The entire battlefield was completely silent.

The Xuan Tian Sect members stared at this scene in disbelief. They never expected that in this seemingly unequal battle, the first to be injured would be the half-step Void Refinement Golden Toad!

What's even more terrifying is that Bai Ying, who caused all of this, still looks calm and collected, as if she had only done something insignificant.

"You...you..." The golden toad's voice was distorted with pain. It stared intently at the blood-stained dragon scale in Bai Ying's hand and suddenly realized a terrible truth.

This woman, who appeared to be only at the late Nascent Soul stage, was far more powerful than she had imagined!

It seems to have targeted the wrong enemy!
