Another one!
Bai Ying gazed at the jade pendant that slowly emerged from the ice coffin, her breathing becoming rapid involuntarily.
She knew that the jade pendant in her hand was mysterious, unpredictable, and incredibly powerful, but what kind of ability did the one in the ice coffin possess?
Although it was impossible to know for sure, Bai Ying was certain that the two jade pendants must have the same origin, most likely from the same piece of material.
Her mind raced, calculating the possibilities of retrieving the jade pendant from the ice coffin. However, just as she was pondering this, the jade pendant suddenly and slowly floated up without warning.
At the same time, the jade pendant in Bai Ying's hand began to slowly float upwards, and even her body was pulled upwards along with it.
At this moment, the group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators on the ground were engaged in a fierce battle, with many dying and crippled, a truly gruesome sight.
Among them, some powerful cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage were still struggling to hold on, making their last stand in this desperate situation. Around them, the ground was littered with blood-red corpses; the exact number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had perished here was impossible to count.
Just then, a warm white light suddenly flashed, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The jade pendant hovered steadily in mid-air. With just one glance, everyone could feel the powerful aura it emitted, which was incomparable to the illusion Bai Ying had previously created. Anyone could tell that this was a powerful magic treasure.
The eyes of those Nascent Soul stage cultivators were drawn to the jade pendant as if by a magnet, their greedy gleam almost bursting forth.
Although they had never come into close contact with the jade pendant, they intuitively believed that as long as they obtained it, they would gain unimaginable power, and with this power, they would be able to escape this dangerous and perilous place.
Despite the countless terrifying giant hands raging in the air, the group seemed to be blinded by desire, rushing frantically toward the jade pendant.
"This is mine!" someone shouted at the top of their lungs.
"What are you dreaming about? This is clearly mine!" the other person retorted, their eyes red with tears.
In an instant, these seemingly virtuous cultivators transformed into crazed beasts, their faces contorted with extreme greed and madness. They harbored only one thought: although their side had suffered heavy losses in today's battle, all sacrifices would be insignificant and worthwhile if they could obtain such a rare treasure!
In this frantic chase, the most advanced of them all was an old Taoist priest. This was the very cultivator who had previously used the Shrinking Earth Technique.
At this moment, he gazed at the jade pendant, a smug smile on his face, as if the jade pendant was already firmly in his grasp. Along the way, he carefully dodged the attacks of those giant hands with his superb magic, secretly calculating in his heart that in this way, the jade pendant would surely be his.
However, just as he was filled with joy, a cold arrow shot straight from the shadows without warning, instantly piercing his body. The old Taoist let out a shrill scream, and before he could react, he was instantly crushed by the giant hands that surged from all around him like a tidal wave, turning into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated on the cruel battlefield.
Faced with such a rare treasure, these cultivators, who usually put on airs and maintained a facade of harmony, finally tore off their last pretense.
"Such a treasure! Anyone who dares to covet it or try to steal it, I will kill without mercy!" A burly cultivator in the crowd roared angrily, his eyes wide open and his face flushed. His voice was filled with undeniable ruthlessness and domineering, as if he had already become the owner of this treasure.
"Hmph, you? You dare to spout nonsense here? Who's afraid of who! This jade pendant is destined to be mine, and no one can take it away!" Another sharp-faced cultivator retorted without backing down, his eyes flashing with greed and madness, wishing he could immediately pocket the jade pendant.
For a moment, everyone was arguing heatedly, their faces flushed, and no one would give way, creating a chaotic scene. In order to be the first to grab the jade pendant, they were like mad beasts, exerting all their strength to activate their spiritual power, flying faster and faster than each other, their figures leaving afterimages in the air.
But to everyone's surprise, just as they were about to get close to the jade pendant, they saw another jade pendant rise up with Bai Ying.
"There's still one left!" A chorus of exclamations erupted from the crowd, and an even more intense fire of greed ignited in everyone's eyes. The already fierce competition became even more frenzied.
"Bai Ying! You're still alive! That jade pendant must be protecting you. We must get our hands on it this time!" someone shouted through gritted teeth, their voice filled with jealousy and resentment.
These people had completely lost their minds and descended into madness. However, due to the constant obstruction of the terrifying giant hands in the air, their progress was far from as smooth as they had imagined. Those giant hands acted like enormous barriers, repeatedly stopping them and greatly reducing their speed of advance.
But this did not stop their frantic advance. Desperate to break through the giant hands, they desperately wielded their magical weapons, launching a furious attack. In an instant, various magical lights intertwined, and deafening roars filled the air. Under their relentless assault, the distance between them and the two jade pendants gradually closed, seemingly within a single step.
But at this crucial moment, Bai Ying suddenly moved. Without hesitation, she reached out and, with incredible speed, grabbed the jade pendant floating in mid-air right in front of everyone. She caught it directly in her hand.
An indescribable power instantly emanated from the jade pendant. Bai Ying felt the surging power and felt as if she had become one with the entire space.
She looked at the group of people with bloodshot eyes, and couldn't help but smile.
Their end is nigh!
