Chapter 776: Another Nine-leaf Cultivator from the Evil Sky Pavilion
Ye Tianxin hovered high in the air. She remained motionless.
Her white hair fluttered in the wind. Her snow-white robes made her look like a budding jade tree covered in snow. She looked ethereal and pure, and her bearing was dignified.
Sheng Yu flapped its wings and charged toward her with glowing claws.
Ye Tianxin was never someone to submit to fate. She used her golden lotus and channeled energy into the Amorous Hoop. Instead of retreating, she advanced.
Boom!
The human and the beast collided.
The Amorous Hoop unleashed a powerful energy at this moment.
Sheng Yu screeched in pain.
Within the area of 10 miles, the trees and ground shook, and there were landslides.
The weaker beasts shuddered in fear and prostrated themselves on the ground.
Ye Tianxin did not escape unscathed from the powerful collision as well. She grunted before blood trickled down the edge of her lips. It was a stark contrast against her white robes.
Her 100-foot Eight-leaf golden lotus avatar moved back.
At this moment, she discovered her golden lotus was spinning at a higher speed now.
“Why is it so fast?” Ye Tianxin was there when her master demonstrated the way to reach the Nine-leaf stage, therefore, she was not completely clueless about the process. Under normal circumstances, the golden lotus should not be spinning so quickly at this time. This is the stage where the golden lotus would absorb her lifespan, which she did not have much of. Ever since she had been hit by the golden dragon script seal, her lifespan had shortened considerably. It was an understatement to say she did not have many years at her disposal.
,200 years.
Even if Sheng Yu did not kill her, the golden lotus would kill her.
She prepared to cast the Blue Waves Technique again when she saw the phalanx of 100 Nascent Divinity cultivators flying toward her.
“Miss Sixth, run!”
Energy sabers, energy swords, palm seals, script seals, and rune seals sailed toward Sheng Yu at this moment as it was reeling back.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Sheng Yu was already injured by Ye Tianxin; it became agitated by these attacks. It began to flap its wings in a frenzy; parrying the attacks, Primal Qi, and energy blasts. The wind it stirred up was like a tornado as it spun out and swept through the Nascent Divinity cultivators.
The cultivators cried out as they were sent flying back. More than half of them spat out blood. Meanwhile, those at or below the Five-leaf stage felt numb in their dantian’s sea of Qi.
Sheng Yu was too powerful; it was comparable to the manmans in Mo City. Even an Eight-leaf cultivator was no match for it, let alone these cultivators below the Seven-leaf stage.
Sheng Yu dove and broke the cultivators’ formation. Its eyes seemed to burn with flames, and it grew excited when it saw Ye Tianxin’s golden lotus avatar. It flapped its wings again, stirring up violent gusts of wind, as it flew toward Ye Tianxin.
At this moment, Ye Tianxin no longer had the strength to fend off Sheng Yu. Under such circumstances, only Yu Shangrong who constantly walked on a knife’s edge would be able to face it calmly. Moreover, things were even more difficult for her since her golden lotus was in the process of sprouting the ninth leaf. Even someone as powerful as Mingshi Yin needed a powerful protector like their master to guard him when he was attempting the Nine-leaf stage, let alone her. She did not know how she was going to survive this. She only watched with widened eyes as Sheng Yu charged toward her.
Ye Tianxin was sent flying again. The impact made her blood essence boil, and her avatar looked as though it was going to shatter at any moment. Meanwhile, the golden lotus had already begun to absorb her lifespan. Wrinkles appeared on her face; her peerless appearance was swiftly aging.
She watched as Sheng Yu prepared to charge again. She was suddenly filled with the certainty that her life was going to end. However, she did not feel regretful. After all, she should have died a long time ago. She was fortunate enough to have lived until now. She would not ask for more.
The strong wind rustled her silver hair as her consciousness gradually faded. At this moment of passing, she understood what life was about. She spread her arms out and sighed deeply, completely calm. She had given up on resisting.
Sheng Yu charged at her with great momentum, intent on devouring the delicacy before its eyes.
When it seemed like hope was lost, a strange cry rang in the air.
A body so huge that it seemed like a floating city appeared in the sky.
“What’s that?”
The cultivators were stunned. They had never seen a beast of this size before. When they looked up, they only saw its massive underbelly and head.
The beast’s fur was white with yellow streaks at the side. The sunlight made it look even more imposing like an overlord.
Sheng Yu came to an abrupt halt. Its feathers seemed to be standing on its hand. Even with its size, it still had to look up at the colossal beast. At this moment, it looked insignificant before the colossal beast. Its excited, hungry, and predatory gaze was replaced with one of terror. After a beat, it flapped its wing frantically, trying to flee.
Whoosh!
At this time, the colossal beast swiped with its claw at Sheng Yu that was only one-third of its size.
Boom!
A loud explosion thundered in the air when the claws struck.
Trees fell as clouds of dust rose.
In just a moment, Sheng Yu was pinned to the ground by the gigantic beast.
The smaller beasts in the area looked like flies in comparison. They were killed from the impact alone.
When the humongous beast swept its tail out it sent the weaker beasts flying, killing them in the process.
This crushing momentum could only be generated by absolute strength.
The cultivators present on the scene watched in awe and stunned silence. Dread crept into their hearts when they regained their senses.
“This is bad! The transition to the Nine-leaf stage has attracted a more powerful beast! We’re done!”
“I don’t think even Mister Fourth can defeat this beast.”
Ye Tianxin’s 100-foot Eight-leaf avatar was right in front of the gigantic beast at this moment.
Meanwhile, Ye Tianxin’s height was only the length of the beast’s nostril.
When Ye Tianxin saw the colossal beast, she could not help but feel slightly excited. At the same time, her hope was rekindled. However, her current situation was too optimistic. She had aged to the point where she struggled to even speak. “Ch... Cheng Huang...”
Cheng Huang cried out. Then, it glanced at the struggling Sheng Yu under its claws.
Sheng Yu continued to trash and struggle, but it was futile. It could not break free of Cheng Huang’s hold at all.
Cheng Huang then looked at Ye Tianxin’s avatar and golden lotus.
At this moment, dozens of cultivators at and above the Five-leaf stage flew toward Ye Tianxin, clearly determined to make a last-ditch effort to save her.
Ye Tianxin turned around and said as loudly as she could, “Stand back!”
The cultivators stopped and looked at Cheng Huang, stunned. Soon after, realization dawned on them; it seemed like Cheng Huang was not hostile.
As soon as Cheng Huang appeared, all the beasts within ten miles had fled. Apart from Sheng Yu’s cries, no other noises could be heard.
Cheng Huang lowered its head and brought its nose closer to Ye Tianxin before it sniffed her. Then, it cried out; its cry was solemn and stirring.
Boom!
All of a sudden, Cheng Huang raised its paws and brought it down on Sheng Yu.
Just like that, Cheng Yu was cleaved into two.
The cultivators felt chills run up their spines. Sheng Yu, a beast that even a peak Eight-leaf cultivator could not deal with, was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of Cheng Huang.
After Sheng Yu died, a glowing red and translucent gemstone hovered in the air. The sun shone on it, making it look even more dazzling.
