Head-on Confrontation
Chapter 1270 Head-on Confrontation
The hills, now scorched earth, became a battlefield. Some immortals fled while others joined the fight. Under the relentless suppression of the five members of the Star Control Pool, the luster of the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade grew increasingly dim, and the previously damaged areas were completely exposed to everyone. Just as everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a series of wails and screams came from afar.
A figure in blue appeared on the outskirts of the hills and shouted loudly:
"Something's wrong! Something's devouring the life force of all living beings in the secret realm!"
The newcomer was none other than Dugu Ye. He had originally intended to take advantage of the situation, but after seeing Ranxi's true appearance, he backed down and quickly withdrew from the battle. Just as he was getting away from the hills, he saw the already restless immortal beasts in the secret realm running around in a frenzy. Then he discovered that the slower immortal beasts turned into skeletons in a few breaths, which terrified him. He immediately turned back to report the news.
Yunxi's divine sense was rapidly expanding, powerfully enveloping the entire secret realm. She also saw the immortal beasts whose life force was being rapidly drained. Her heart skipped a beat. She had clearly interrupted that evil immortal, but she didn't expect their backup plan to still come into play.
At the same time, the Buddha Wushen spoke:
"Fairy Ranxi, the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade is recovering its strength."
Yunxi, gripping the Seven Star Deadly Staff, flashed into the defensive circle. Looking at the slightly trembling Sacred Relic Star-Slaying Blade, it seemed to be trying to break free from the shackles of the relic. Moreover, the cracks on the blade were slowly disappearing, as if it had gained enough power and was repairing itself. A streak of light flashed across the blade, as if mocking Yunxi and the others for overestimating their abilities.
Di Fei cursed under her breath, and swung the bone whip in her hand even more intensively, determined to pull the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade back to its original form.
As Yu Xingchi drew his sword, he also said:
"The Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade has been hiding here for who knows how long. The entire secret realm is providing it with power. In order to avoid attracting attention, it has been taking its time to make its move."
But now that it has been exposed, choosing such a ruthless method to escape its predicament, we must break this deadlock as soon as possible, otherwise we will all become nourishment for its recovery.
Cuiying transformed into human form and said through gritted teeth:
"I heard the wails of the celestial beasts in the secret realm. They are being forcibly stripped of their power, and this situation is spreading throughout the entire secret realm. We don't have much time left."
Hua Wu frowned, sending the glass lamp in her hand into the air and forming a hand seal to absorb the soul power of the fallen immortal. But after three breaths, she said coldly:
"The soul of the fallen immortal has also been absorbed!"
Yunxi glanced at the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade, which had already drawn an inch of its blade, and coldly snorted:
"You will protect me and prepare for the collapse of the secret realm."
After saying that, she gripped the Seven Star Deadly Staff and flew above the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade. In the next instant, all her clones returned to her main body. She poured all her immortal energy into the Seven Star Deadly Staff without reservation, and the seven stars on the staff were lit up one by one, radiating an unstoppable aura.
Yunxi gripped the staff with both hands, and a huge golden staff shadow formed behind her. She unleashed a powerful "Thunderous Might" strike, and the staff, imbued with immense lightning power, fell with seemingly slow but actually rapid speed, striking the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade precisely.
Seemingly sensing the threat of the Seven Star Deadly Staff, the Sacred Relic Star-Slaying Blade accelerated its absorption of power and, in its last breath, broke free from the relic's encirclement, meeting the attack of the Seven Star Deadly Staff head-on.
The two divine artifacts, one gold and one black, one righteous and one evil, collided. The impact of the two forces swept across the entire secret realm, forcing everyone to fly backward. The secret realm also seemed to be overwhelmed, and space tore open, sucking in some of the flying immortals.
Yunxi even heard the sound of the secret realm collapsing, but she was restrained by the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade and could only grit her teeth and persevere. The immortal energy in her dantian flowed into the Seven Star Death Staff like a flood.
However, the Seven Star Deadly Staff conveyed to her that it wasn't enough; it needed more power. Yunxi could only swallow the Immortal Explosion Pill she had previously held in her mouth, forcibly raising her strength to the Immortal King realm, and communicating with the Immortal Spirit Grass in her dantian, allowing it to continue supplying wood-type immortal energy. The two streams of immortal energy simultaneously entered her meridians, forcibly stretching them open once more. Some meridians cracked, and her internal organs began to bleed, but within five breaths, her strength was forcibly elevated to the Immortal King realm.
Blood flowed from Yunxi's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, but she poured more immortal energy into the Seven Star Death Staff in her hand to suppress the Sacred Corpse Star-Slaying Blade.
The Langhuan Secret Realm began to collapse and strongly repelled Yunxi. With a cold face, she restrained the Sacred Corpse Star-Slaying Blade, not giving it a chance to escape. Even if she was kicked out, she would still hold onto the Sacred Corpse Star-Slaying Blade.
Just as everyone's faces showed fear, their entry tokens hanging at their waists flashed, and the next moment, the people who had been caught in the center of the vortex disappeared.
One by one, the immortals in the secret realm disappeared, leaving only Yunxi and her seven companions. Just as Yuxingchi, Cuiying, Huawu, and Wushen disappeared one after another, Dugu Ye, who had been silent all along, suddenly appeared behind Yunxi with a strange smile on his face, and then self-destructed.
Because of the existence of the "Soul-Binding Silk," Di Fei stayed behind until the very end. When she noticed Dugu Ye's abnormality, she swung her bone whip. Her target was Yun Xi, and she wanted to take her away from the center of the self-destruction.
However, the Holy Remains Star-Slaying Blade suddenly exerted its power, restraining Yun Xi and preventing Di Fei's bone whip from binding Yun Xi. Instead, it became entangled with the Holy Remains Star-Slaying Blade.
The next second, Di Fei, her face filled with shock and anger, was teleported out of the secret realm. The last thing she heard was a loud rumbling sound, and the last thing she saw was Yun Xi falling into a spatial rift.
"Ranxi!"
When Di Fei appeared in the Deer Cry Mountains, she only had time to call out Yun Xi's name, which attracted everyone's attention. Then everyone saw the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade wrapped in bone whip, and the atmosphere on the scene became tense again.
When the immortals were kicked out of the Langhuan Secret Realm, Baili Yanque appeared outside the secret realm. He asked the first immortal to come out and learned what had happened in the secret realm. Then he waited calmly for Yunxi and the others to appear.
But after Di Fei was kicked out, the exit of the Langhuan Secret Realm began to close. Di Fei twisted her wrist and threw the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade at Baili Yanque's feet. Then, she gritted her teeth and swung the bone whip in her hand at the closing exit, trying to tear open a gap. But her efforts were in vain, and the exit eventually disappeared completely.
Di Fei tightened her grip on the bone whip, her eyes filled with resentment. She turned to look at Baili Yanque, wanting to know if he had a solution.
Just as Baili Guiwang was about to put away the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade on the ground, a dark green vine suddenly stretched out, its target the evil weapon on the ground.
The onlookers instinctively moved, but in the next instant, they were all frozen in place. A cold snort made those with ill intentions turn pale, and the weaker ones fell to the ground, instantly losing their fighting ability.
A graceful figure slowly emerged, and the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade was drawn into her hand. The entire blade stopped trembling and also concealed all its aura.
Baili Yanque knelt on one knee and said:
"Greetings, Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm!"
