Chapter 741 - 327:
The woman’s purple-red eyebrows lifted slightly, "Fifty percent? It seems Thirteen didn’t see wrongly, indeed a greater chance than mine."After contemplating, she spoke.
"I will fully assist you in contacting the transmission core, but if you obtain the inheritance, you must share it with me."
Upon hearing this, Xu Guang’s expression froze, seemingly completely unprepared for such a request from the other party.
To help him fight for the inheritance?
This sounds like a pie falling from the sky, he instinctively felt there was something fishy about it.
After thinking for a bit, he opened his mouth and said.
"Alright."
"Both of us will make a Heart Demon vow."
Upon receiving Xu Guang’s consent, the woman immediately spoke up.
Only then did Xu Guang confirm her sincerity.
Nevertheless, he increasingly thought she might be from Tian Yun Court, which believes in following the natural order and seizing whatever one can within it.
The woman finally revealed an expression belonging to a human at this moment.
"My name is Ling Xiao."
Ling Xiao?
Xu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, this name indeed carries grandeur.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt gusts of ominous wind in the valley.
Then, among thousands of green trees, several figures emerged.
The leader was a pale young man, resembling a vampire, with two figures standing behind him - surprisingly, Xu Guang recognized them!
Xu Guang’s pupils contracted abruptly.
The slender figure on the left, with soft and feminine features like a woman’s, and the burly, mountain-like figure on the right, handsome yet with a playful gaze.
The Twin Ghosts of Li Shan!
At this moment, these notorious villains stood respectfully half a step behind the pale young man. Though they didn’t bow their heads, the faint air of submission in their posture set off alarm bells in Xu Guang’s mind.
For such unruly fiends, who dared to assassinate Zhao Blood Armor, to willingly follow - who on earth is this young man?
"It seems we’re in trouble."
The woman claiming to be Ling Xiao spoke softly, her tone composed, without any fear towards facing formidable opponents.
Clearly, in her eyes, the strength of the few before her wasn’t enough to cause apprehension.
Xu Guang: ...
He might not know who the young man opposite was, but seeing the Twin Ghosts of Li Shan standing behind him, he knew the opponent must be of noble descent with formidable strength.
Among a group of extraordinary Second Nirvana and Fifth Realm experts, he, a mere First Nirvana Martial Artist, seemed out of place.
"Ling Xiao, it seems your luck is poor, being found by me. Hand over the key."
The young man, with an air of certainty, spoke to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao only looked at him, as if watching a performing clown.
The pale man’s silver-gray pupils flashed with cold light, his moon-white robe fluttered, and the star-moon pattern at his cuffs suddenly shone brightly!
"Ignorant of life and death!"
Before he finished speaking, the man had already taken a step forward.
The step seemed understated, yet appeared to shatter the barrier of space.
A faint afterimage remained in his original place, while his true body appeared ten yards in front of Ling Xiao!
Without sealing, chanting, or any apparent hand signs.
The man simply raised his right hand, fingers like a sword, and gently pointed in Ling Xiao’s direction.
Boom—!!!
In an instant, Xu Guang felt the temperature throughout Fallen Star Valley plummet rapidly!
From the man’s fingertip, frost-white ripples visibly spread like waves.
Where it passed, the silver-blue mist froze into ice crystals falling swiftly, frost covered the glazed rock walls, even the thin aura in the air seemed frozen and solidified.
Yet this was not purely the power of ice.
Xu Guang’s enhanced perception from the Five Immortal Secret Technique allowed him to "see" something more terrifying - within the frost-white ripples was an extremely pure source Qi wave and a Martial Dao intent condensed to the point of being tangible!
Daoist and Martial Dual Cultivation!
Both had reached a chilling high!
The domain formed by the frost-white ripples instantly enveloped Ling Xiao. Within the domain, the rules seemed rewritten, time slowed, space solidified, with all fiery, yang energies forcefully suppressed and stripped away.
This was power resembling a nascent Holy Domain, more complete and tyrannical than the "Five Emperor’s Return" nascent form displayed in Xu Guang’s previous confrontation with Yu Sheng!
"Dream Palace’s ultimate skill, Frost Heaven Extinction Finger."
Ling Xiao’s voice remained calm, even carrying a reviewing tone, "Luo Cong, your insight on the ’Great Dream Heart Sutra’ still lingers at the fifth layer, in the ’Frozen Soul’ realm."
She revealed the man’s name and cultivation technique.
With the word "Dream Palace" reaching his ears, Xu Guang’s heart shook violently!
One of the six grand Emperor Courts of the Central Domain, alongside Tian Yun Court and Moon God Manor - Great Dream Emperor Palace!
This Luo Cong turned out to be an Emperor Palace disciple!
No wonder the Twin Ghosts of Li Shan willingly follow, no wonder he dared to be so bullish, no wonder his move carried near Holy Domain powers!
In the blink of an eye, Ling Xiao moved.
Facing the Frost Heaven Extinction Finger domain freezing space-time, she did not evade, nor did she adopt any defensive posture.
She merely lifted her left hand gently, spread her fingers, and clasped toward the sweeping frost-white ripples.
"Scatter."
A single word softly uttered, like a spring breeze across frozen ground.
No earth-shattering collisions, no radiant explosions.
The originally unrivaled frost-white ripple, seeming to freeze all things, appeared to melt and dissolve silently when approaching Ling Xiao’s three feet.
No, it didn’t melt.
Through the "eye for color" enhanced by Five Immortal Secret Technique, Xu Guang saw clearly, the frost-white energy containing extinction intent was dissolved at a fundamental rule level by a more profound and mysterious power.
Like a painting’s ink covered and modified by a more skillful artist’s strokes, becoming part of another painting.
Luo Cong’s silver-gray pupils contracted for the first time.
Though he didn’t fully exert himself with this finger, the "Frost Heaven Extinction" intent combined with the fifth layer "Frozen Soul" realm from Great Dream Heart Sutra required even peak Fifth Realm cultivators to be cautious.
Yet Ling Xiao effortlessly dissolved it?
Ling Xiao couldn’t possibly... be a Semi-Saint?
Xu Guang’s heart trembled.
"Tian Yun Court has been reclusive for years, yet has produced such an extraordinary figure."
Luo Cong said with a calm tone, "However, if you think these mere tricks can contend with me, then you’re too naive."
He clapped his hands together abruptly, with the star-moon pattern on his moon-white robe separating from the fabric, transforming into tangible starlight and moonlight, intertwining in front of him.
"Great Dream Heart Sutra, Sixth Layer: Illusion Realm!"
Buzz—!!!
The silver-blue mist throughout Fallen Star Valley churned madly, as if stirred by an invisible giant hand.
Xu Guang only felt a blur before his eyes, with the surrounding scenery beginning to distort and transform.
The glazed rock walls turned into flowing seven-colored glazed rivers, the ancient trees grew human faces and emitted shrill howls, the ground beneath became a rolling sea of pale bones, with chains draped in starlight descending from the sky...
Illusions?
No.
Xu Guang could clearly feel that these scenes contained genuine rule power!
The glazed rivers truly possessed terrifying heat capable of melting gold and iron, the wailing waves from the human-faced trees struck directly at one’s divine soul, the bone hands extending from the bone sea carried decay laws, and the starlight chains further confined space!
The boundary between reality and illusion was blurred and shattered at this moment.
This was the terror of the Great Dream Emperor Palace - entering the realm through dreams, transforming falsities into reality!
"Petty tricks."
Ling Xiao’s voice remained calm, even carrying a trace of boredom.
She didn’t even look at the bizarre and lethal illusion scenes around her, merely raising her right hand, lightly pinching her thumb and forefinger.
As if snuffing out a lamp wick.
Crack—!
A sound like shattering glass spread throughout the illusion realm.
All distorted scenes, all real killing intent, all blurred boundaries, under this pinch, crumbled and dissipated like a shattered mirror.
Fallen Star Valley returned to its original state, with silver-blue mist still flowing, and the glazed rock walls remained silent.
Luo Cong grunted, his face even paler, blood trickling from the corner of his lips.
For the first time, his silver-gray pupils revealed an incredulous shock.
