A crisp cracking sound came from inside the bead, and then a visible silver thread extended out from the bead, instantly piercing through the distant mountain wall and leaving a bottomless hole.
"This power..." Yue Ling gasped, "If it were to directly attack a cultivator's spiritual sense, even a peak Earth Master would find it difficult to withstand!"
Rong Jiaojiao did not stop; with Yue Ling's assistance, her spiritual power remained at its peak.
"The sixth path, spatial distortion." She lightly touched the Serpent Bead with her fingertip, and the runes meandered like snakes.
The space around the bead began to distort eerily, and the light was swallowed up, as if forming a miniature black hole.
"The seventh one, spatial refraction." On the Yuan Chen Pearl, the runes were as smooth as a mirror, reflecting countless images.
"The eighth path, spatial annihilation." The runes were dark and profound, as if they could devour everything.
As runes were inscribed, Rong Jiaojiao's spiritual power was rapidly depleted, and Yue Ling was constantly trying to replenish it for her, but her eyes grew increasingly fervent.
She could sense that the prototype of this Twelve Innate Yuan Chen Array was gradually taking shape, with each bead containing terrifying spatial power. Once activated, it would become her strongest trump card!
"The ninth level, spatial devouring... all objects within its reach are devoured."
"The tenth path is spatial marking, which marks the places your divine sense goes to assist in spatial teleportation."
"The eleventh skill is spatial teleportation. Wherever the mind goes, one can instantly move to the desired location during combat."
Finally, the last rune arrived—
"The twelfth path, the spatial domain."
Her fingertips inscribed the final rune on the Pig Beads. In an instant, the twelve Spirit Essence Beads trembled simultaneously, resonating with each other. Invisible spatial power flowed between the beads, forming a complete array cycle!
"It's done!" Rong Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Her divine soul figure suddenly stood up, formed hand seals, and shouted in a low voice, "Twelve Yuan Chen, return to your positions!"
"Buzz—"
Twelve spirit marrow beads instantly flew up and surrounded her. Each bead shone with a dazzling silver light, and as the runes flowed, the power of space surged and ripped, as if it could tear everything apart at any moment!
As Rong Jiaojiao sensed the terrifying power contained within the formation, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"From this day forward, I will call you the 'Twelve Divine Annihilation Formation,' and you will become my ultimate killing move!"
With a thought, he brought the twelve Yuan Chen Pearls back to his sea of consciousness. In an instant, the twelve Yuan Chen Pearls floated up in the vast sea of consciousness, reflecting each other with the Yuan Shen Pearls and weaving together a mysterious and endless resonance.
Rong Jiaojiao's spiritual avatar sat upright on the primordial spirit pearl, feeling the unprecedented power surging and flowing within her body, as if she were in a boundless ocean of energy, and every fluctuation of power made her heart surge.
“Master, this formation…” Yue Ling’s voice suddenly became solemn, with a hint of undisguised tension, “seems to have triggered the rules of heaven and earth.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a violent fluctuation came from the depths of her mind, like a sudden gust of wind, stirring up a raging storm.
The once calm sea of consciousness instantly twisted and deformed, and the twelve Yuan Chen Pearls also began to tremble violently out of control, emitting crisp and rapid sounds, as if resisting some kind of invisible pressure.
"What's going on?" Rong Jiaojiao was shocked and quickly activated her Yuan Shen Pearl to try to stabilize the chaotic situation.
However, what was even more shocking was that she discovered that her divine sense could not fully control the newly formed natal array, and the feeling of being out of control filled her with panic.
At this critical moment, a light suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness, with twelve dazzling golden lights corresponding one by one to the twelve Yuan Chen Pearls, as if they were the guidance of fate.
Within each ray of golden light, an ancient and mysterious character emerged—the twelve Earthly Branches of antiquity: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao… These characters exuded a vast and ancient aura, as if they had traveled from the distant past, carrying boundless majesty.
They slowly merged into the corresponding Yuan Chen beads, and the originally restless beads miraculously calmed down at this moment, as if soothed by some powerful force.
Moon Spirit exclaimed in surprise, "This is... the approval of Heaven and Earth?"
Rong Jiaojiao was so shocked that she could hardly speak. She could vaguely sense that this formation seemed to have touched some long-dormant laws of the heavens, and an ancient and powerful force was awakening.
When the last "亥" character was incorporated into the 亥 pig bead, the twelve beads suddenly arranged themselves into a perfect circle, resembling an exquisite and unparalleled artifact.
The Yuan Shen Pearl automatically flew into the center of the circle, echoing the other pearls in the ring. The two formed an unprecedented balance, a balance of power that transcended words, immersing the entire sea of consciousness in a peaceful yet powerful atmosphere.
Rong Jiaojiao's spiritual figure floated up involuntarily, drawn by this strange force, and slowly entered the center of the ring.
In an instant, her consciousness seemed to traverse endless time and space, and twelve towering divine beast phantoms appeared before her eyes. They were majestic and solemn, exuding awe-inspiring power.
"The Twelve Guardian Spirits of the Twelve Earthly Branches..." Rong Jiaojiao seemed to hear a weathered and ancient voice resounding in her mind, a voice that seemed to have traversed countless years, carrying boundless wisdom and power, "Those who inherit this legacy shall wield the laws of space and time..."
Countless profound and mysterious pieces of information flooded into her mind like a tide, and her understanding of time and space rapidly improved at this moment.
She witnessed the folding and unfolding of space, the flow and stillness of time, and even glimpsed a mysterious shadow of the long river of fate. That profound knowledge gave her soul an unprecedented baptism.
As the illusion gradually faded, Rong Jiaojiao discovered that she had undergone a complete transformation.
Her spiritual realm had actually risen directly to the peak of the Earth Master realm, and she seemed poised to break through to the Celestial Master realm at any moment. The sheer power of that force astonished even herself.
Even more incredibly, the Twelve Yuan Chen Pearls have completely merged with her Yuan Shen Pearl, becoming an indispensable part of her body, as if they had always belonged to her and had never been separated.
"Master!" Yue Ling's anxious voice pulled her back to reality from her shock. "Something has happened outside!"
Rong Jiaojiao's consciousness immediately returned to its place, only to see her master standing ready for battle, while countless powerful demonic beasts were approaching from outside.
Rong Jiaojiao asked, "Master, what's going on?"
Qing Xuanzi glanced at his disciple speechlessly and explained, "It's all your fault."
He was cultivating when he suddenly sensed that Rong Jiaojiao's spiritual power was fluctuating wildly and seemed about to collapse at any moment. Just as he was getting anxious, a beam of light shone on Rong Jiaojiao's head, and the fluctuations in her spiritual power stabilized.
