The cultivator at the Void Refinement stage was terrified.
This power was far beyond anything he had ever encountered in his life; its immense energy seemed capable of utterly crushing space itself.
His mind was instantly filled with alarm, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately used all his skills to escape.
The spiritual energy within his body surged wildly like a raging tide, continuously pouring into the flying artifact beneath his feet, causing the artifact to emit a dazzling light and desperately propelling him forward at breakneck speed.
However, to his utter surprise, the attack speed launched by that spiritual herb was absurdly fast. A beam of emerald light, like a deadly meteor, streaked through the void and shot towards him with incredible speed. Wherever the light passed, the air was rapidly compressed, producing a series of crackling explosions, as if space itself was trembling. The speed of this light was even faster than his full-speed escape, surpassing his own speed!
"No!"
The elder of the Xuan Yang Sect felt a blinding light before his eyes, so bright that he could barely open them. Then, an overwhelming pressure, like a colossal mountain about to collapse, pressed down on his body.
His body instinctively wanted to resist, and his spiritual power circulated rapidly, trying to erect a defensive shield. However, in the face of this earth-shattering power, his spiritual power was as fragile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and was instantly shattered by the impact.
That force was like a series of scorching blades, easily piercing through his defenses and mercilessly invading his meridians. Wherever it went, meridians were severed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and bones made a "crackling" sound as they broke. He was like a leaf swept away by a gale, flying backward uncontrollably, leaving a long trail of blood in the air.
How could this be? What exactly is this spiritual herb, and how can it be so terrifying?
His heart was filled with endless fear and regret. He never imagined that this seemingly ordinary spiritual herb would be so terrifying!
But at this moment, the terrifying power emanating from the spiritual herb was like a net, tightly enveloping him. He exerted all his spiritual power in an attempt to erect a defensive shield, but under the impact of that surging power, the shield shattered instantly like fragile glass.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and with a chilling tearing sound, he was mercilessly ripped into countless pieces.
Such a terrifying old monster, so terrifying that no one dared to look directly at him, vanished from this world so easily, as if he had never existed, leaving only a trail of blood and death.
Everyone stood frozen in place, their faces filled with terror and disbelief, their eyes revealing deep shock. They were completely stunned by the bloody and gruesome scene before them.
"How could such a terrible thing happen!" Someone in the crowd murmured softly in a trembling voice. Although the voice was soft, it was exceptionally clear in the deathly silence, instantly causing a slight commotion. The crowd snapped out of their shock and exchanged fearful glances.
When that spiritual herb killed a Nascent Soul stage expert, they already realized that the spiritual herb's power was incredibly terrifying.
But they never imagined that this magical herb was far more terrifying than they had ever thought!
"Is...is this really happening? Am I still half asleep?!"
"What? You're still half asleep? You think you're dreaming? This isn't a dream!"
"Who would have thought that an old monster in the Void Refinement stage would be killed so easily by this spiritual herb? Just what level is it? I really can't imagine it?"
The other Nascent Soul stage experts from the Xuan Yang Sect stared at the spiritual herb in utter shock: "What exactly is your cultivation level?"
They were no longer as arrogant as before, and they all retreated, fearing that if the spirit herb was in a bad mood, it would kill them as well.
The crowd immediately began to discuss the scene.
"Could this spiritual herb be a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
"I think it's the Mahayana stage."
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could there possibly be a Mahayana stage expert in this world? Do you even know what the Mahayana stage means? Reaching the Mahayana stage is enough for ascension, right? I've never heard of the Mahayana stage before, nor have I ever witnessed any ascension. There's absolutely no way there could be a Mahayana stage expert in this world."
"Even if it's not the Mahayana stage, it's still a realm we can't reach. The Xuan Yang Sect has offended it, and it's completely finished."
These people were still discussing when, unexpectedly, a ball of blue flame suddenly shot towards the direction where the spiritual herb was located.
This blue flame was extremely terrifying; anyone who came into contact with it even slightly was instantly turned to ashes.
"This is the Flame of Extreme Yin! Everyone get out of the way! Anyone who touches it will surely die!"
The eyes of those members of the Xuan Yang Sect all revealed a hint of madness.
What they just took out was the sacred treasure of their Xuan Yang Sect, the Extreme Yin Flame.
This flame originates from extremely cold regions and is extremely rare. Anything in this world that comes into contact with this flame will be reduced to ashes.
There's only one flame. Once it's used, it's gone. It's only used when the entire sect is facing a life-or-death crisis.
I didn't expect them to bring it out now.
"Go to hell!"
The group glared at Bai Ying and the spirit herb with hatred.
"Although I can't slowly refine this spiritual herb, letting you die under this extreme yin flame can be considered revenge for my sect leader and elders!"
The eyes of these people were filled with venomous hatred as they used all their spiritual power to control the flames and move them toward the spirit herb.
The crazy actions of these people shocked everyone around them. However, the spirit herb that they thought would be burned to death by the extreme yin flames suddenly opened its flower heart and then swallowed the terrifying flames right in front of everyone!
The scene before them sent a chill down everyone's spine.
They might have thought that this spiritual herb would have a way to counteract the flames, but they never expected that it would actually swallow the flames whole!
The Xuan Yang Sect cultivators were so frightened that their faces turned deathly pale, and one of them even collapsed to the ground in terror!
"No! Impossible!"
He stared at the spiritual herb in terror, feeling utterly powerless from fear.
The spirit herb suddenly jumped off Bai Ying's body. Then, step by step, it walked along its roots to the cultivator.
"It's delicious! Do you have any more of these treasures? If not, I won't be so polite to you."
