Chapter 344 Subduing the Book of the Goddess of the Luo River, a Small Tower Becomes a Great Tower
And what about rosewood? What did you mean by that?
Before they could think it through, the two inside the barrier moved simultaneously once again.
The cards shimmered brightly in a fierce clash!
The other cultivators exclaimed in disbelief at the sight of the "special talisman."
When did the Talisman Sect produce two heretical cultivators?
They recognized Huali, but who was that female cultivator opposite them?
Just as everyone was immersed in the massive spiritual energy conflict, Qi Ran finally experienced a noticeable delay after unleashing her ultimate move.
In the blink of an eye—
Hua Li's figure suddenly lunged forward like a ghost!
Before Qi Ran's wide eyes, it precisely broke through her defenses and gripped her neck like an iron clamp!
"Well!"
Qi Ran was slammed downwards by this immense force!
Boom—!!
"Huali, no!" Zhanli's voice rang out at the same time!
He tried to rush forward, but was severely suppressed by an invisible barrier.
The expressions on Fu Yan and the others' faces were equally shockingly grim.
Although it wasn't love, the time they spent with Qi Ran was genuine, so they couldn't just stand by and watch.
But the other party happens to be a rose, which puts them in a dilemma.
However, shouting it out is pointless.
Only a fool would actually stop.
The rosewood, now engrossed in its attack, completely ignored everyone.
No wonder Wen Jin always likes to choke people; it does feel pretty good.
Inside the barrier, Huali knelt on one knee in front of Qiran, breathing slightly heavily.
She didn't care about whether it was true or false, nor did she have the saintly heart to care about other similar little worlds.
Right now, in this world, it's impossible to draw upon any fortune!
Her hair fell with Huali's movements, and there was a hint of madness in her eyes. She whispered in Qiran's ear, "Tell me, if I tell you all this, will you ever be able to collect all the stars?"
Qi Ran's eyes widened instantly.
She stared intently at Karin, trying to discern any threat within her, but all she saw was a bottomless calm and...seriousness.
She really wanted to tell the whole story!
Fear of mission failure or other thoughts welled up in her mind. Despite being in a completely disadvantaged position, Qi Ran still held onto Hua Li's arm tightly and scolded, "Are you crazy?"
"Before each mission begins, every participant is given the highest level of silencing by the system. Forcibly revealing information will only result in punishment!"
“That’s for you, not for me,” Huali interrupted her.
The two people, one above the other, their clothes overlapping and their hair tangled, glared at each other angrily.
They are people from the same world, but they have come to this point because of their completely different positions.
"Qi Ran, don't you understand yet? The system can't command me at all."
Huali looked at her suddenly frozen expression, and every word was crystal clear: "You've traveled through so many small worlds, and you've never encountered, not even once, a task where you didn't want to follow the system's orders?"
"While it's true that you should listen to your boss when you're working, can you accept it calmly when the task involves hurting the most important person in your life?"
Hua Li thought of Luo Chuan during his tribulation, and her eyes became complicated. "Does your heart really not feel any reluctance?"
Qi Ran's hand, which was holding Hua Li's arm, stiffened slightly.
"Host! Don't listen to her!" Xiao Tong shouted frantically while contacting headquarters, "This was destined from the start..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden uproar from the crowd!
What is that?
"The Book of the Goddess of the Luo River!"
It turns out that Luo Shenshu, who initially framed Qi Ran and Hua Li, quietly appeared while everyone's attention was drawn to them. He transformed into an inconspicuous stream of light, attempting to escape silently.
But it ultimately underestimated humanity.
Those who can enter are not fools; naturally, there are also cultivators who have been searching for hidden artifacts from beginning to end.
"Stop it!"
"Don't leave the artifact!"
Dozens of cultivators, regardless of their faction, began to bombard the Luo Shen Book together, attempting to stop it.
This relentless attack thoroughly enraged the artifact.
Originally intending to escape, Luo Shenshu simply stopped hiding and unleashed a divine light even more powerful than the one that had appeared briefly before!
boom--
An unparalleled, vast divine power erupted from its center like a tsunami!
"Ugh!"
"puff!"
The cultivator who had just charged to the front was incredibly unlucky, and he was sent flying backward with a scream!
Even Lian Zhuo and the others, whose cultivation was at the level of undergoing tribulation in fusion, were pushed back by this force, and their expressions changed.
Having succeeded in its attack, the Book of Luoshen hung high in the air, its pages flipping wildly, its oppressive aura like a mountain pressing down on everyone.
The greatest force of all came crashing down on Huali and Qiran!
In the face of life and death, Huali retreated rapidly, and the hand that was gripping Qiran's was now being held by her arm.
Qi Ran used the momentum to flip the card, and the two earth-type cards simultaneously transformed into powerful defenses, together meeting the divine might!
The forces collided, producing another deafening roar!
Immediately afterwards, a cold, ancient voice, devoid of any emotion, rang out:
"Throughout the millennia, countless individuals have attempted to seize control of me. Yet, even if ants possess the ambition to devour the heavens, how could they possibly have the power to shake the stars?"
"Want to tame me? Fine, then let me see who among you is qualified."
The declaration sounded like a war drum, and all those vying for the artifact gleamed with a fierce light in their eyes.
Xiao Tong spoke up: "Host, I have just applied for the highest level of authority from headquarters again. My points are full. Let's take this opportunity to seize the book!"
On the other hand, Huali felt unusually uncomfortable.
Why hasn't Steward Ao returned yet, given how crucial this situation is? Could it be that something truly dangerous has happened?
While the two were examining the Book of Luoshen, the spirit within the book was also observing Huali and Qiran.
The aura of these two people was completely different from that of this small world.
Therefore, it detected them immediately upon their entry into the Starfall Ruins.
Its body contains too many grand and complex truths, and it has the ability to deduce the past and the future.
But the future is ever-changing and cannot be determined by mere speculation.
So it began to secretly guide the other two who had entered at the same time to make contact with them.
But it was surprised to find that these lucky individuals and card holders were actually fighting against each other.
On one hand, the card holders are taking the initiative, while the luckiest players are trying to avoid it.
On one hand, the player with the best luck takes the initiative, while the card holder runs away as fast as they can.
Having lived for tens of thousands of years, but only a few years after developing sentience, how could Luo Shenshu have imagined that there were so-called "factions"?
The immense disappointment and the frustration of being mocked by fate caused its already heavy burden of world-weariness and irritability to finally erupt.
He intended to use someone else to do his dirty work, so he wouldn't have to see it.
Unexpectedly, these self-righteous people still managed to discover their tracks.
*
The Luoshen Book hangs high, its indifferent declaration making a cruel rule clear to everyone:
To gain the artifact's recognition as its master, one must attempt to tame it using their own strength. Seeking assistance from other cultivators will only invite a more ferocious attack.
Compared to sword cultivators and talisman cultivators, the people of the Beast Taming Sect were overjoyed.
Spirit beasts and artifact spirits are not included in this category, so their chances of winning are obviously greater.
Just as they were about to step forward, Luo Chuan, Yan Xi, Wen Jin, Lian Zhuo, and Shen Yu suddenly exchanged a glance.
The five people, who loathe each other, always manage to reach an utterly disgusting consensus when it comes to matters concerning Karin.
"Amitabha." The Buddhist disciple stepped forward, raising one hand. Beneath the snow-white sleeve of his robe, a section of his pale wrist adorned with beads was revealed.
With a calm expression, he spoke in a composed manner:
"Clear the area."
Five terrifying auras erupted suddenly, instantly stopping the restless Beast Taming Sect members.
The combined deterrent is even more terrifying than a one-on-one battle against Luo Shen Shu!
The cultivators' expressions changed drastically!
What's going on? Have these people gone mad?
Why can't others take what you don't want?
Why should I?!
Despite their many complaints, no one dared to voice them.
Some cultivators who were not convinced could only secretly look at Wen Tingyun and Mu Feng on the other side.
Weren't Wen Tingyun and Wen Jin sworn enemies? Why aren't they fighting now?
And then there's Young Master Linfeng. The Ruins of Starfall is right next to your territory. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. How can you tolerate this?
As it turns out, they not only endured it, but also survived alongside the top five.
This directly puts the other half of the population under duress.
Everyone: "???"
Okay, okay, if they had known you guys were such lunatics, why would they have come to this Starfall Ruins?
Enraged but unable to speak out, everyone could only glare fiercely at Huali and Qiran.
What a wonderful secret realm! These two little girls stole the show.
Do you really think the power of an ancient artifact is nothing to be trifled with?
Ha, you're in for a rough time.
*
The moment Luo Shenshu's "gaze" was fixed on the two of them, Qi Ran moved!
The points the system gave her again allowed her to instantly throw all five cards into the air at the same time, and a silver-white beam of light flashing with runes shot towards Luo Shenshu!
This strike contained all the highest-level power she could mobilize from the Global Headquarters.
As expected, Luo Shenshu sensed the difference in this attack, and the speed at which she turned the pages slowed slightly.
A glint flashed in Qi Ran's eyes. Ignoring the blood spilling from the corner of her lips, she continued to press down and collide with her power!
Sizzle sizzle—
The beam of light actually held for a moment, and even showed a faint tendency to break through the artifact's defense!
Hua Li frowned. This Qi Ran really is something!
She stopped standing by and took immediate action.
But even faster than her was Luo Shenshu, who was completely enraged by the heretical power.
This power clearly does not originate from this world.
"Trespass!"
boom--
The repulsive force originating from the artifact's essence suddenly erupted, and the silver-white pillar of light shattered instantly. Qi Ran was struck as if by a heavy hammer, spitting out a mouthful of blood as she crashed heavily against the mountain wall. Li Yuan caught her and held her in his arms.
"slowly?"
Qi Ran felt as if her internal organs had shifted.
Having traversed so far, relying on her points to move smoothly along the way, this was the first time she had come so close to death.
As Zhan Li placed the pill into her mouth, and Mu Feng Fu Yan and Wen Ting Yun's gentle spiritual energy surged towards her, Qi Ran shook her head and smiled gently, "It's...no problem."
Zhan Li sighed, "Ranran, if... you don't want to laugh, you don't have to."
"No one requires you to do it. It would be better if you could, but if you can't... that's okay too."
Qi Ran paused, then slowly looked at the boy in front of her, "I..."
Before she could finish speaking, a huge tremor behind her quickly drew the attention of Zhan Li and the others.
boom--
The Rock Dragon collided with the Book of Luo for the second time. As a result, the huge dragon body was pierced through like a clay chicken or a tile dog. As a result, Huali's body trembled and she also spat out a mouthful of blood.
But she dared not stop for a moment, for Luo Shenshu's counterattack had arrived!
This thing is probably the only one among the Four Divine Weapons that is entirely devoid of treachery.
It truly lives up to its name as a "book," mastering both overt and covert schemes.
The divine light descended with a feint, and Huali gritted her teeth and fiercely met it with her fire-type card!
"Red Lotus Blaze, explode!"
A crimson lotus blooms and clashes head-on with the divine weapon!
As the pages of the book were scattered, Karin's body crashed heavily to the ground from the air.
He spat out another mouthful of blood.
The girl knelt on one knee, propping herself up with her hand. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were torn. She looked much worse off than Qi Ran had been.
Good, good, good. I haven't vomited blood for too long, so this will replenish it all.
Below—
Lian Zhuo's fingertips turned white as she twirled the prayer beads, and the beads cracked open with fissures in an instant.
Wen Jin and Shen Yu subconsciously took a step forward.
As if sensing something, Huali immediately turned her head and glanced at them, her meaning self-evident.
Luo Chuan looked at the little girl's disheveled yet still upright back, and together with Yan Xi, he suppressed all movement, his fingers trembling as he exhaled.
As Huali fought, she grew stronger and stronger. This exhilarating fighting style made her even more aware of the use of spiritual power.
She struggled to her feet, adhering to the principle of keeping the good stuff in the family, swallowed the metallic taste churning in her throat, and activated her cards again and again to launch attacks!
The little pagoda that Qinglin fell into was so anxious that it jumped up and down, tears streaming down its face!
The determination to become stronger reached an unprecedented peak at this moment!
It is a divine artifact that was born at the very beginning of the primordial chaos.
It clearly possesses the same power as the Book of the Goddess of the Luo River, yet it is beyond the control of the newly born tower spirit. But... why is that?
“Yes, little tower, why?” Zhao Heng reached out and gently touched its brow. “Even though you are newly born, you are still unique, the Burning Sky Tower.”
"A blessing from a divine beast is given to you. Little Tower, do not be afraid."
*
Don't be afraid!
Cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. She reached the Tribulation Transcending stage without undergoing a tribulation of lightning, which makes her an incredibly lucky person in the universe.
As long as you're alive, there's hope!
As Huali's injuries worsened, her eyes grew brighter.
Finally, after she exhausted all her strength once again, she blasted the Book of Luoshen into a closed state.
A brilliant light shone in Karin's eyes: Now!
"Trace your spiritual roots to the root, reverse!!!"
Countless gnarled green tree roots burst forth from the ground, quickly wrapping around the Luoshen Book, absorbing and suppressing its light inch by inch!
The Book of Luoshen emitted a resentful buzz, vibrating violently, and was on the verge of being completely suppressed and subdued!
However, just as Karin's mind relaxed slightly—
The core of the Luoshen Book suddenly unleashed its last primal power, breaking the tree roots and piercing through Huali's shoulder!
Yan Xi and the others were furious. As they unleashed their spiritual power, a tall and slender figure with long, fiery hair suddenly appeared in front of Hua Li!
The aura emanating from the Burning Heaven Tower collided violently with the Book of Luo Shen!
"You dare bully Karin? You're asking for death!"
