This startled Dongfang Jinyao, who dared not delay any longer and hurriedly guided the primordial spiritual liquid into her dantian.
As the spiritual liquid was absorbed, a surge of powerful spiritual energy spread out in her dantian, rapidly filling her previously tired dantian. The spiritual energy flowed like a surging tide to her limbs and bones.
"Jin Yao, how long can the spiritual energy contained in this primordial spirit liquid sustain your use of spiritual energy? Is it enough to support you in using all those talismans?"
While sensing the surging spiritual energy within her body, Dongfang Jinyao quickly estimated, "If I go all out, it should be enough to activate all the talismans on my body at once, but it will take some time. Qin Luo, do you mean... you want me to directly attack this Spirit-Extinguishing Demon Orchid?"
"No, that Spirit-Extinguishing Orchid seems strange, but from my observation, it is only good at plundering spiritual energy. Although this ability is extremely powerful, it also makes it lack effective means of active attack. Otherwise, if we were to take out the Origin Spirit Liquid now that we are so close to it, it should have already launched an attack."
Qin Luo analyzed the situation with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing that the target wasn't the Spirit-Slaying Demon Orchid, Dongfang Jinyao blinked her large, questioning eyes. "Then what do you mean?"
"That black-robed figure gave me a sense of unease. Moreover, the cultivation system of these extraterrestrial gods is probably not that simple. Those two were probably just low-level patrolmen on routine patrols."
"This man in black robes, who can monopolize the spiritual energy that has devoured the entire ruins, is clearly not someone to be trifled with. So, I will buy you time to lure him out, and then it will be up to you."
After saying that, Qin Luo looked up into the distance and saw the silver-robed man with the missing arm flying at an extremely fast speed toward the flower in the center of the Spirit-Extinguishing Orchid, looking extremely disheveled.
Seeing this, Qin Luo explained the situation and, without waiting for Dongfang Jinyao to respond, he flashed away and chased after the silver-robed man like an arrow.
The figure left a blurry afterimage in the air and disappeared from Dongfang Jinyao's sight in an instant.
"You, you! How could you just leave like that? Are you afraid I'll follow you and hold you back?"
Dongfang Jinyao was both surprised and annoyed. She stamped her foot and scolded, her cheeks puffing up with anger, her eyes full of resentment, "It's always like this. You never ask what I think, you just force me to make a decision."
Despite her complaints, she didn't hesitate at all. Five different talismans flew out from her sleeves, and then spiritual energy flowed in, causing the talismans to instantly emit different lights that surrounded her.
Amidst the flashes of light, a powerful aura flickered, and each talisman emanated a unique and majestic fluctuation of spiritual energy.
......
On the other side, the silver-robed man did not dare to step into the golden pond. Instead, he knelt on the dark flowers at a distance, his voice trembling, and said, "Young Master."
"What is it? Didn't I tell you not to bother me so easily?"
A chilling voice echoed from the center of the pond. With that voice, the previously calm golden spiritual liquid suddenly surged, and a tall, slender figure slowly emerged from it.
At this moment, he had shed his black robe, revealing an extremely magnificent silver robe. The subtle patterns on the fabric were faintly visible in the dim light, highlighting his extraordinary status.
His face was as cold and stern as an ice sculpture, with hard lines and an innate indifference in his eyes.
"Young Master," the silver-robed man said, bowing his head and barely daring to breathe, his voice full of respect, "I don't know where the people of the myriad worlds learned of this place, that someone has come to survey it now."
Ling Hao frowned upon hearing this, his already stern face darkening further. A hint of undisguised displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he coldly snorted:
"Hmph! The Universe Heavenly Pavilion is truly a bunch of leeches, impossible to shake off. Just how strong are the people who have come this time?"
The man in the silver robe trembled and hurriedly replied in a flustered manner:
"It was a man and a woman. The man's strength was truly formidable; after a brief exchange... I... I was unfortunately injured. But strangely, they didn't possess the insignia of the Universal Heavenly Pavilion..."
As he spoke, he instinctively covered the severed arm, his face contorted in pain, as if the wound was throbbing with agony once more.
"Oh? Not from the Heavenly Pavilion of the Universe?" Ling Hao narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful look flashing in them. "That makes sense. If it were them, you wouldn't have had the chance to come back and report to me. You've been cultivating in seclusion for long enough these past few years; it's time for my Lingyue Manor to shine again."
Upon hearing this, the silver-robed man exclaimed excitedly, "Is the young master about to enter the Enlightenment Realm?"
Ling Hao raised his chin, a hint of barely perceptible smugness flashing in his eyes. "Not bad. After enduring for so long, with the help of the rich spiritual energy here, I have finally nurtured the Dao Seeds of those different elements to their fullest potential."
"If I take another step forward, with my potential, the name of Lingyue Prefecture will shine even more brightly in my hands after I return to my homeland."
"Who goes there?!"
Seemingly sensing something, Ling Hao's eyes turned cold, and he swung his right arm sharply, sending a golden beam of light shooting out in a certain direction with the force of a thunderbolt.
The sharp glint was so fast it vanished in the blink of an eye, but unfortunately it was still a little too slow.
A sharp gust of wind suddenly rang out from behind the silver-robed man. Before the silver-robed man could react, before even a look of terror could fully appear on his face, a long and powerful hand pressed down on the top of his head.
Qin Luo tightened his grip with his five fingers, seemingly giving a light squeeze, yet it contained unparalleled strength. With a cracking sound, the silver-robed man's life force vanished, and he was then thrown towards the golden beam of light.
puff puff puff
The golden light struck the silver-robed man mercilessly in an instant, like a blade piercing through thin paper.
Under this terrifying power, the silver-robed man fell like raindrops onto the huge dark flower.
The petals, splattered with blood, made the already mysterious dark color appear even more eerie and sinister.
"This strength is probably comparable to that of a Saint Realm expert."
Qin Luo secretly assessed Ling Hao's strength and couldn't help but become wary. Although he couldn't be completely certain of the Spirit Pool's approximate strength, the power displayed in that move had already made him feel a great threat.
If it were to fall on him, given his current physical condition, he would have a very tough time with it.
