Bai Ying withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Tinglan Zhenren and the others. The murderous aura around her gradually subsided, and she returned to her aloof and ethereal appearance.
"Let's go," she said softly, "this matter is over."
As her words fell, the oppressive aura that had enveloped the valley finally dissipated. But everyone knew that from this day forward, the landscape of the cultivation world would be drastically altered by this newly ascended Void Refinement Grandmaster...
However, at that moment, a terrifying, suffocating pressure suddenly emanated from outside the valley. That pressure surged forth like a monstrous wave, actually formed by the combined auras of dozens of Void Refinement stage experts simultaneously releasing their power!
"Boom!"
The entire world trembled, rocks crumbled, and trees fell. Those rare Void Refinement stage monsters, seldom seen in ordinary times, swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.
The news of Bai Ying's accident was so big that many cultivators from various sects knew about it, and many Void Refinement stage cultivators who were still eyeing her inheritance and the treasures on her body had already rushed over.
Master Tinglan's face instantly turned deathly pale. He clearly sensed that these oppressive forces included terrifying beings at the late or even peak stages of the Void Refinement realm. He looked at Bai Ying with worry, his voice trembling, "Fairy Bai, these... these people are so powerful..."
Master Tinglan looked at Bai Ying with concern.
With so many cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, even if Bai Xiushi had cultivated to the Void Refinement stage, he would probably find it difficult to resist.
Moreover, he knew best that the white cultivator had killed those Void Refinement stage cultivators using ancient formations, but where did this formation come from?
Master Tinglan was extremely worried, but Bai Ying shook her head at him.
A glint of eager anticipation flashed in his eyes: "No problem, I'd like to test my current strength too."
She strode out of the cave, only to find the entire valley sealed off by layers of arrays. Dozens of figures hovered in the sky, each surrounded by terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations. These old monsters had laid an inescapable net to ensure absolute safety!
They were afraid that Bai Ying could still escape.
Or perhaps they feared that if Bai Ying died, her treasures would fall into the hands of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
Upon seeing Bai Ying, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces.
But it was only a tiny bit.
After all, they had visited the ruins several times in recent days and learned the secret of Bai Ying's use of that ancient formation.
There's no pressure from the upper realm here, so even if the ancient formation is still on Bai Ying's body, she can't use it.
Even if Bai Ying is still alive and hasn't been killed by the Wan Du Men, she's nothing to fear!
"Bai Ying!" an old man in purple robes shouted sternly, "You killed my Xuanming Sect's Void Refinement Elder, today you will pay for this in blood!"
"Hand over the inheritance you obtained from the ancient ruins!" another beautiful woman said coldly, "Perhaps we can spare your corpse."
Bai Ying stood proudly in the void, countless mysterious runes flickering and dancing within the flowing white light around her. She coldly surveyed the Void Refinement stage cultivators around her who were eyeing her covetously, the mocking smile on her lips becoming increasingly pronounced.
"You're all much more cautious than last time," she said softly, the wisp of white light at her fingertips moving as if alive. "However..." she suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Do you really think I'm still the same Bai Ying who needed the power of formations?"
In an instant, a dazzling white light erupted from her body, shooting straight into the sky, causing the entire world to tremble. The profound Daoist principles contained within that light made all the Void Refinement stage cultivators present feel a sense of unease.
"Impossible!" The purple-robed elder's expression changed drastically, and his voice even changed tone. "How could she suddenly break through to the Void Refinement stage? This..." He subconsciously took half a step back, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This...this defies the laws of nature!" The dragon-headed cane in the white-haired old woman's hand snapped in two with a "crack," and the muscles on her wrinkled face twitched uncontrollably. "In my more than three thousand years of cultivation, I have never seen anyone break through two major realms in such a short period of time!"
A plump monk in a golden robe was so shocked that his prayer beads fell to the ground, and the color drained from his round face: "Amitabha... Could this female benefactor be the reincarnation of some great being? Otherwise, how could she have such an astonishing speed of cultivation?" His thick lips trembled incessantly, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The other cultivators were also astonished. They had seen geniuses with fast cultivation speeds before, but a prodigy like Bai Ying, who soared from the Nascent Soul stage to the Void Refinement stage in such a short time, was simply unheard of!
"This woman..." an old woman with white hair murmured, "If it were any other time, I would definitely want to befriend her..." A trace of regret flashed in her cloudy eyes. With Bai Ying's terrifying cultivation speed, she might really be able to break through to the Mahayana stage that they all dreamed of.
But now, the die is cast and the arrow must be released.
Since a blood feud has already been formed, then there is only one option...
"Attack together! We can't let her leave alive!" the purple-robed elder shouted sternly, his voice tinged with hysteria.
"boom!"
Dozens of Void Refinement experts attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of world-destroying spells. There were colossal hands that blotted out the sky, raging flames that could scorch mountains and boil seas, and ice that could freeze the void... Each attack was enough to obliterate a Nascent Soul cultivator!
However, faced with this devastating attack, Bai Ying simply waved her hand lightly.
"Buzz!"
A pure white light barrier appeared out of thin air, seemingly as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it blocked all attacks.
Those terrifying spells crashed into the barrier and vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
"How is that possible?!"
The cultivators exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.
