Youyou took a deep breath, stood up, turned to look at the celestial maidens who were in pain, and shouted, "Listen up, everyone! Stay where you are! Don't move an inch!"
Everyone was startled and turned to look at her. You You didn't have time to explain; she sensed the skills that had appeared in her mind and accurately located the invincible skill—Suppressing Heaven and Earth!
So he turned the hilt of his sword downwards, his whole body surged with power, gritted his teeth and suppressed his shame, forcefully stabbed the sword into the ground, and shouted out the skill command.
"I hereby declare that this fishpond is now under my ownership!"
"..."
What? The entire room fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, a soft "ding" sounded, like the sound of dripping water, though not loud, it echoed directly in everyone's ears. The space beneath their feet rippled outwards like water, as if transforming the ground into a body of water. The next moment, a sound as ancient as if from time immemorial rang out, accompanied by a splashing sound.
A gigantic, semi-transparent phantom of an ancient Kun burst forth from beneath their feet, opening its massive maw to swallow whole the floating peak where You You was standing on the viewing platform. In an instant, all the celestial maidens were isolated from the formation. The celestial maidens felt a sudden relaxation throughout their bodies, and the oppressive force of the formation vanished instantly.
"Phoenix Appearance!" The skill only lasts for eight seconds, so seize the moment!
Feng Rong below reacted immediately, and almost at the same time as her voice rang out, she transformed into a fire phoenix again and charged towards the formation. The crimson flames instantly dissolved the formation, and both formations shattered simultaneously. But she did not stop, and went straight for Qiu Yue, the culprit in the air.
Qiu Yue was startled, seemingly not expecting such a technique to exist. However, she quickly regained her composure, showing no intention of dodging, and coldly snorted, "Fine, consider yourself lucky. This... is enough..."
Before he could finish speaking, his entire body suddenly began to dissipate, disappearing into the air before Feng Rong's flames could reach him.
"What happened?" The celestial maidens exchanged bewildered glances, never expecting Qiu Yue to vanish so suddenly. "Was that just an illusion?"
Feng Rong frowned, releasing his divine sense but failing to detect the other party's aura. He knew very well that he had just truly sensed the other party's presence, and it was definitely not an illusion or a clone. He just didn't know what method the other party had used to escape his pursuit.
With the formation broken, the disciples from various sects who had escaped danger below quickly took to their swords and flew towards the floating peak viewing platform, anxious to check on the celestial maidens' situation. Then they discovered... they couldn't get in!
Not to mention them, even Feng Rong, a member of the divine race, couldn't get close. The giant Kun-shaped phantom summoned by You You's invincible skill separated the inside and outside into two worlds, cutting off the damage and preventing everyone from getting close.
Even the enormous Kun swung its translucent tail, sweeping away anyone who came near.
"You Tiannu..." The celestial maidens, who had survived the calamity, changed their aloof demeanor and walked towards You You with grateful expressions. They smiled at her, who was still holding her sword, and said, "Thank you for saving us. We are safe now, so you can withdraw your attack."
Youyou's lips twitched, she clenched her fist, and replied with a miserable expression, "I want to too! But I... I can't let go!"
She had tried several times, but for some reason, she just couldn't let go of the sword in her hand, let alone draw it out and take down the invincible giant Kun.
Everyone was stunned and confused. What did it mean that they couldn't let go?
"Is there something wrong with your moves, Celestial Maiden? Or is your spiritual energy not flowing smoothly, preventing you from stopping your attack?" The celestial maidens looked at each other for a moment, then asked anxiously, "Do you need our help to regulate your breathing?"
Although most of them had lost their cultivation, the other party had saved their lives and the lives of so many disciples below. This favor was worth the risk. "Please speak freely, Miss You, and we will do our best to help you."
“That’s right, you saved us, otherwise we would have been drained of our cultivation and died by the formation. If there’s anything we can do to help, just say so!” The other celestial maidens also nodded and stepped forward.
"No...no!" Youyou shook her head and quickly explained, "I'm just not familiar with the skill and can't let go for a moment. I need some time to put away this layer of defense."
"I see." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "How long will it take?"
"Would you believe me if I said it would take eight days?"
Everyone: "..."
Are you kidding me?
Youyou's expression grew even more miserable. She had considered that her skills might be unreliable and prone to minor deviations, like those ordinary sword moves with astonishing power or healing spells with additional attributes. But she hadn't expected that this deviation in her invincible skill would occur in the duration of its effect.
She sensed the remaining time of the skill effect in her mind—7 days, 23 hours, 40 minutes, and 36 seconds.
In other words, the giant Kun that's enveloping them will take another eight days to disappear, and during that time, she can't let go. She clearly remembers the invincibility lasted only eight seconds, so why has it suddenly become eight days?!
One invincible character lasts for eight days? Have the game designers gone mad? Where is the skill balance?!
The celestial maidens were also stunned. They thought she might not be familiar with the technique and would need time to withdraw, but they did not expect it to take eight days.
Even so, because of the life-saving grace, none of the celestial maidens expressed any dissatisfaction or blame. Even the celestial maiden from the Heavenly Martial Sect who had previously provoked her showed a grateful and understanding expression, and even took the lead in trying to find a way out for You You.
"You Tiannu's move is so miraculous that it can actually block such a terrifying formation. It's normal that it will take some time to withdraw the move."
"That's right, I've never seen such powerful magic before? This... is it magic? Or an array?"
"Whatever it is, the fact that it can summon the phantom of a Kun is enough to show how powerful it is."
"You Tiannv's spiritual energy wasn't strong, so I thought she hadn't yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Turns out I was mistaken; her cultivation is actually so profound. I wonder what realm she's reached?"
"His cultivation level must be higher than ours, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use such a technique."
"Even the Heavenly Maiden needed eight days to dispel this defense. If it were us, who knows how long it would take?"
"It's only eight days, we can wait that long. Besides, has everyone noticed that the spiritual energy here has suddenly become much denser?"
"Huh? Really! Could it be that the Celestial Maiden's magic can help us regulate our breathing and recuperate?"
"Great, this is a good time to heal our injuries."
"That's right, that's exactly it!"
The celestial maidens chatted amongst themselves, and in no time they had paved a full set of steps for Youyou. Not only did they not have any objections, but they also seemed afraid of upsetting her, so they all stepped back a few paces and spontaneously began to meditate quietly on the spot, adjusting their breathing as they did so.
Yuu, unsure how to explain: "..."
Yes, girls are just so cute!
