"Heh..." She suddenly let out a cold laugh, the clear, cold laugh echoing in the silent valley, carrying a hint of mockery, "Weren't you all plotting to seize my inheritance?" Bai Ying slowly raised her right hand, and the white lotus between her slender fingers once again bloomed with dazzling light, the pure radiance containing a world-destroying power.
"This is the ancient legacy you've all been dreaming of." She flicked her wrist, and the white lotus shone brightly, illuminating her snow-white face. "Come on, you want it? I'm right here. Come and take it!"
Before she finished speaking, an astonishing surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from her body.
Not only the white lotus in her palm, but all the magical artifacts on her body were lifted into the air by this force.
The enormous Kongtong Seal slowly rotated in the air, emanating a powerful aura that suppressed heaven and earth.
The dragon scales, burning with black, extremely yin fire, emitted a chilling hiss. The jade pendant, which had already undergone metamorphosis, exuded a suffocatingly terrifying aura, causing the surrounding space to slightly distort.
"Aren't these the treasures you've been coveting for so long?" Bai Ying's voice suddenly rose, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "Today I'll let you see them to your heart's content! Come and take them!"
The cultivators opposite were already ashen-faced. They could clearly sense that Bai Ying was resonating with these magical artifacts, and the pressure emanating from each artifact far exceeded their expectations.
"What? You're scared now?" Bai Ying's lips curled into a poignant smile. "Where's that ruthlessness you had when you surrounded me?" She slowly raised her left hand, and all the magical artifacts emitted a blinding light simultaneously. "Today, I'll let you experience firsthand what it truly means to regret your actions!"
As the last word fell, the entire world trembled.
A white lotus in Bai Ying's palm suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, its pure holy light containing the power to destroy all things. The enormous Kongtong Seal crashed down with a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, suppressing everything in its path; the dragon scales burning with extreme yin fire transformed into a rain of ghostly blue flames, freezing even the air in their wake; and the corrosive jade pendant transformed into a streak of pitch-black light, its corrosive power visibly eroding everything around it, causing everything to decay and disintegrate in an instant!
"No!" the leading cultivator cried out in terror, summoning his protective magic treasure. However, before absolute power, all resistance seemed utterly laughable. The Kongtong Seal crushed his protective aura, the extreme yin fire instantly froze him into an ice sculpture, and as the black light that eroded the jade pendant swept over him, his body crumbled inch by inch like weathered sand!
The other cultivators, seeing this, were terrified and scattered in all directions. But Bai Ying would not give them the chance.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she formed a hand seal. The white lotus light suddenly spread out, transforming into a cage that enveloped the heavens and the earth!
"Run?" she sneered. "When you were chasing me, did you ever consider giving me a way out?"
Before she finished speaking, she lightly tapped her fingertip, and the white lotus cage suddenly contracted, with countless lotus petals spinning and strangling like blades! Screams rose and fell, and blood mist exploded in the radiance, only to be frozen into scarlet ice crystals by the extreme yin fire, eerie and tragically beautiful.
In just a few breaths, those cultivators who were chasing her were all reduced to ashes!
Bai Ying gazed at the only remaining late-stage Void Refinement cultivator still putting up a fight, a meaningful smile playing on her lips. This opponent, with his cultivation level, was the testing ground she had long awaited.
"Youngster, how dare you be so arrogant!" The cultivator's beard bristled, his eyes bloodshot. "Even if you possess extraordinary abilities, today I will make you lose your life here!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly blurred, and in an instant he merged with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This technique of concealment, though originating from the same source as Master Tinglan's martial arts, is far more exquisite. This person is renowned for assassination, and is most skilled at hiding his form and waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
However, how could he know that the "Shenzhao Jing" that Bai Ying cultivated was a top-level cultivation technique passed down from ancient times, which emphasized the ability to "illuminate all things"?
Even a concealment technique as powerful as the late-stage Void Refinement Realm technique is as clearly discernible as ink marks on snow under her divine sense.
Bai Ying slowly closed her eyes, her smile deepening. Within her divine sense, every blade of grass, every speck of dust, every inch of ground within a hundred feet was clearly visible. Although the cultivator had concealed himself skillfully, he ultimately could not escape the detection of the Divine Illumination Scripture.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have lost their composure in the face of such an elusive assassination technique.
But for Bai Ying, this was nothing more than a cat-and-mouse game she had long since seen through.
With the operation of the "Shenzhao Scripture of the Great Void", her divine sense spread like ripples, revealing everything within a radius of a hundred feet. The slight trembling of grass leaves in the wind, the trajectory of dust falling to the ground, and even the subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy could not escape her perception.
"I've found you," she whispered.
The cultivator, believing himself to be perfectly concealed, was stealthily approaching, a fine, dark blue needle coated with deadly poison clutched in his hand, ready to strike with deadly force! However, just as he was about to strike, Bai Ying suddenly opened her eyes, and a white lotus in her palm shone brightly!
"boom!"
A pure, blazing white light crashed down like divine punishment, striking with perfect accuracy the hiding place of the Void Refinement cultivator!
"What?" He was horrified and hastily summoned a black shield to defend himself. However, the shield only held for a moment before shattering with a crash. The remaining force of the shield blasted him away from the void!
"Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered to the ground, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. "Impossible! How could you have found me?"
Bai Ying stepped forward slowly, like a celestial being descending to earth, but her eyes were so cold they sent chills down one's spine.
"Your concealment skills are indeed superb, but unfortunately..." She lightly raised her fingertip, and the white lotus bloomed again, "In my eyes, you are like a firefly in the dark, nowhere to hide."
The Void Refinement cultivator's face contorted in rage. He bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and roared, "Insolent brat! Today I'll show you what true power of a Void Refinement cultivator is!"
In an instant, blood mist surged around him, and his aura rose wildly, showing a faint tendency to break through to the Integration Stage!
Bai Ying's eyes narrowed. This was... a forbidden secret technique that burned her life essence!
"Die!" The Void Refinement cultivator laughed wildly, forming hand seals, and a giant blood-red palm pressed down on her like a sky-covering blotting out the sun!
Faced with this terrifying attack, Bai Ying neither dodged nor avoided it, but simply sighed softly.
Why bother?
She raised her hand, and the white lotus and the corrosive jade pendant simultaneously shone brightly. Combined with the eight-fold attack bonus from the berserk jade pendant, these elements intertwined to form a dazzling pillar of light that soared upwards against the heavens!
"Boom!"
The moment the two forces collided, the world lost its color!
When the light faded, the cultivator who had reached the Void Refinement stage was already kneeling on the ground, his meridians shattered, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.
Bai Ying walked up to him, looked down at him, and said calmly, "Now, you can go and keep them company."
As she finished speaking, she lightly tapped her fingertip, and a beam of white light pierced through his brow.
A cultivator at the Void Refinement stage has fallen!
The world returned to silence, with only the mournful howl of the cold wind.
Bai Ying slowly retracted her magical artifact, the killing intent in her eyes vanished, and a hint of tears flashed across her face.
Finally... she did it!
This also means that the time for Patriarch Huayang to die has come!
