The atmosphere in the dimly lit cave was oppressive and suffocating, filled with the stench of decay. The True Dragon cultivator, whose head had been held high, jerked back as if struck by lightning. His once confident eyes were instantly filled with terror. His pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at Bai Ying, who was channeling her spiritual power. His lips trembled, and he muttered to himself, "How is this possible…?"
He knew perfectly well that his ability to manipulate spiritual power was due to a forbidden technique of the Dragon Clan. But what about Bai Ying?
The True Dragon cultivator looked at Bai Ying with a cold gaze, and suddenly thought of a possibility that excited him immensely!
Ice-glass jade pendant.
He had heard his elders tell a story. Legend has it that in the primordial chaos, a powerful spirit stone containing boundless energy was born. Later, a mysterious and powerful being meticulously carved it, dividing it into countless jade pendants. Each of these pendants possesses the power to change the world; whoever obtains even one can create a cataclysmic upheaval in the cultivation world, dominating their domain. If someone could collect all the pendants, they would control the laws of heaven and earth, becoming the undisputed ruler of this world.
However, the whereabouts of these jade pendants remain a mystery after the great man's death, and the family's records about them are incomplete.
Although he had heard of it, he had never seen it with his own eyes, and his understanding of its specific characteristics and effects was only superficial. But at this moment, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Bai Ying's body, as well as her ability to instantly recover even in this kind of space, all these signs made him convinced that Bai Ying was very likely to possess the legendary Ice Glass Jade Pendant, and most likely it was a precious item with the ability to restore spiritual energy.
Thinking of this, the True Dragon cultivator's eyes instantly turned ruthless. The dim light in the cave reflected in his eyes, flashing with greed and determination.
He no longer held back as he had in the past.
His aura suddenly changed, and scales rapidly grew on his arm. In the blink of an eye, his original hand had transformed into a majestic dragon claw, its sharp tips gleaming with a chilling light, as if it could easily tear apart everything in the world.
With a deafening roar, he used his unparalleled physical strength to slam down on Bai Ying, snarling viciously, "Hand over the Ice Jade Pendant!"
This palm strike concentrated all his power and killing intent, aiming straight for Bai Ying's crown. Its force was as fierce as Mount Tai pressing down, and the air sizzled due to this powerful force.
Seeing this, Bai Ying didn't have time to think and quickly pushed the incense burner she had been holding at the oncoming dragon claw again.
Here, although Bai Ying could use her spiritual power, the spatial limitations were like an invisible shackle, tightly binding her.
If she focused all her energy on attacking, she would find it difficult to withstand the corrosive power of this space, and a slight misstep could lead to annihilation. At this moment, she was also in a dilemma.
A deafening roar, like a bolt from the blue, echoed through the enclosed space, making everyone's eardrums ache.
The immense impact sent Bai Ying flying. She felt a sweet taste in her throat, and then uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood.
This True Dragon cultivator's strength was truly overwhelming. If she hadn't eaten many strange red fruits beforehand, which enhanced her physique and spiritual power, she would probably have been reduced to dust by this palm strike by now.
"You bastard, hand over the Ice Jade Pendant! You're just a Nascent Soul stage kid, how dare you possess such a treasure!"
Even though Bai Ying had never heard of the Ice Glass Jade Pendant, she guessed that the jade pendant in her hand was the Ice Glass Jade Pendant that the True Dragon cultivator had mentioned.
However, before Bai Ying could catch her breath, the bloodthirsty True Dragon cultivator once again swung his enormous hand and slammed it down on her.
This time, he no longer cared about the effects of spatial erosion. His body shone brightly, instantly revealing his true form. A gigantic dragon appeared before him, its size making it more susceptible to the effects of spatial erosion than before.
However, all he wants to do now is kill Bai Ying. As long as he kills her, he can get the Ice Jade Pendant and then he can restore himself!
He mercilessly crushed Bai Ying with his true form, causing the ground to crack and dust to fly wherever he passed.
Seeing this, Bai Ying didn't linger any longer. She turned and ran, frantically dodging the attacks of the True Dragon cultivators while desperately sprinting towards the array's core. Only by finding the core and activating the array could she escape.
However, the true dragon cultivator was incredibly fast, like a black lightning bolt, instantly appearing in front of Bai Ying. He opened his blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar: "Die! The Ice Jade Pendant belongs to me!" Immediately afterward, his enormous tail, like a thick iron pillar, lashed out at Bai Ying with immense force.
Upon seeing this, Bai Ying quickly drew the long sword from her back.
At this moment, she could no longer care about anything else, focusing all her spiritual power into her sword and unleashing the Illusionary Flower Void-Piercing Slash. At the same time, the Berserk Jade Pendant within her body was also activated, and a violent power instantly surged into her body, enhancing the sword and increasing its power eightfold.
A dazzling light flashed, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and slashed fiercely at the true dragon cultivator. It tore a huge wound in his dragon scales and deflected his attack.
Taking advantage of the brief moment, Bai Ying hurriedly took out the recovery jade pendant, her eyes fixed on the array's core in the distance, preparing to throw it out. As long as the array's core activated, she could immediately escape this dangerous place.
However, at that moment, as the Restoration Jade Pendant and the Berserk Jade Pendant appeared together, the entire cave suddenly began to shake violently.
Rocks from the cave ceiling crashed down, striking the ground with a dull thud and raising clouds of dust. The moss on the cave walls, which had been shimmering faintly, dimmed instantly under the impact of this powerful force, like a candle flame about to be extinguished.
Deep within the neatly arranged pile of pills in the center of the cave, a jade pendant emitting a soft white light seemed to be gently lifted into the air by an invisible hand.
The jade pendant was surrounded by wisps of light, which, like a shimmering mist, constantly changed shape.
It echoed the two jade pendants in Bai Ying's hand, and the three seemed to be connected by an invisible bond. The light emitted by the jade pendants began to merge, and the originally independent light now intertwined and entwined, like a gorgeous ribbon dancing in the air.
Bai Ying stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, her face filled with disbelief, her heart pounding with shock and confusion. She had never imagined that such a jade pendant would be hidden inside this cave.
So this was the real treasure in this cave!
At this moment, not only Bai Ying was stunned, but even the True Dragon cultivator was dumbfounded.
Ice-glass jade pendant!
There are actually three of these legendary jade pendants here!
