“Yingdan, be careful, that abandoned slave is not simple!”
Zhang Wudao hadn't expected Yun Youyue to not only survive the "giant dragon" but also to be wielding a bell-like magical artifact. The artifact guided the light blue long dragon to injure his leg again, and now it was charging towards Yingdan.
The Golden Core cultivator named Yingdan was currently summoning his three-legged cauldron to capture the silver-white long dragon. However, in a split second, the sky exploded! Thunder roared!
Yingdan was sent flying backward, shaken by the three-legged cauldron in his hand!
"So the legendary Dream-Chasing Bell, which Senior Sister mentioned was used to capture the Starfall Emperor Realm, is in Yun Youyue's hands. That three-legged cauldron in Yingdan's hand should be the Vajra Witch Cauldron, and with the Primordial Chaos Paper Senior Sister lent me, tsk, the three magical treasures related to capturing the Starfall Emperor Realm are all here…"
Bai Shengyi mused, using her mental power to shield her aura as she walked towards Yun Youyue's direction. Wait! Something's wrong!
Bai Shengyi stopped. Where was Qing Bu Li?
She glanced at the people in the sandpit again. Yingdan, Zhang Wudao, and Li Shiqing were lying on the ground, severely injured. Jiang Ruomei and Jin Lingfeng's fates were unknown, and Qing Bu Li was nowhere to be seen.
She was certain that Qing Bu Li had not been touched by the two beams of light, which meant he was definitely not dead.
So, where did he go?
Just then, Bai Shengyi saw a long spear suddenly appear in front of her, carrying an earthy yellow spiritual light, whistling towards Yun Youyue!
“Qing Bu Li! How dare you!”
Yun Youyue never expected that while she was the mantis, Qing Bu Li would be the cicada hunter, the oriole behind, wanting to snatch her Starfall Emperor Realm!
Her beautiful eyes widened in fury, and she threw out two sixth-tier explosive talismans, attempting to block the spear.
However, Qing Bu Li was clearly prepared.
In a flash of lightning, the spear in front drew Yun Youyue's attention, while he himself had already appeared in front of her, snatching the Dream-Chasing Bell and disappearing into the swirling sand and stones.
Yun Youyue wanted to pursue, but was blocked by the spear and the downed Yingdan and Zhang Wudao. By the time she managed to break free, Qing Bu Li was nowhere to be found.
“Qing! Bu! Li!” Yun Youyue gritted her teeth in hatred, her eyes bloodshot, “I will kill you!”
Qing Bu Li, holding the Dream-Chasing Bell, urged the bell to subdue the silver-white and light blue giant dragons. However, he was shaken and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
“Pah.”
Qing Bu Li spat out the blood, his deep eyes fixed on the spiritual aura flowing in and out of the bell's apertures, and said coldly, “Now that you’re in my hands, don’t you dare…”
Before the word "obedient" could be spoken, his expression instantly changed, and he retreated rapidly!
But it was still too late!
A massive net fell upon him, blocking him for a moment. Then, the surrounding sand and stones, as if controlled by an invisible wind, began to smash towards him.
“Destroy them!”
Qing Bu Li shook the bell, commanding the two "giant dragons" within. The dragons let out a long cry and suddenly broke free from the Dream-Chasing Bell!
“Come back!”
Qing Bu Li rushed forward to chase them, but his path was blocked by dense green vines.
He instantly understood and roared, “Bai Shengyi!”
Bai Shengyi, hidden within the clouds, remained silent, instead pouring her spiritual power into the Primordial Chaos Paper.
The Primordial Chaos Paper in her hand was incomplete, only half of it.
Before entering the secret realm, she had been worried that the Primordial Chaos Paper wouldn't be able to exert its full effect. She hadn't expected the Vajra Witch Cauldron and the Dream-Chasing Bell to weaken the Starfall Emperor Realm one after another, which now benefited her.
“Dingling… Dingling…”
Qing Bu Li, not believing it, urged the Dream-Chasing Bell, but the two streams of light still didn’t return.
“Pfft!”
Qing Bu Li spat out blood again. His calm expression was finally broken.
“Damn it!”
He grimly bit his finger, drawing strange and eerie symbols in the air, muttering, “Sect Master, it’s time to borrow your power.”
At the same time, Bai Shengyi sensed a familiar spatial fluctuation and looked up in shock.
“What is this…”
“Power from beyond the Divine启 Continent, Master, you should run quickly. You are no match for this person.” It was the Reincarnation Brush, which had suddenly awakened, its tone more solemn than ever.
As soon as it finished speaking, thunder roared within the clouds, followed by a torrential downpour.
Not far away, Qing Bu Li’s cultivation level surged, Foundation Establishment layer six, seven… ten, Golden Core! It didn’t stop, only halting at Golden Core layer three.
“Master, hurry and leave! Don’t confront him head-on!” The Reincarnation Brush was rarely so timid.
Bai Shengyi said helplessly, “I can’t leave.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the long spear cleave through the clouds and stab directly towards her.
Bai Shengyi raised her brush to block, but Qing Bu Li’s Golden Core stage strength was for real. How could she block it? She was instantly knocked off her flying sword.
“So you were hiding here.” Qing Bu Li's voice was grim as he strode closer, coldly saying, “Since you like the Starfall Emperor Realm so much, then be its sacrifice!”
“Dingling!” The Dream-Chasing Bell let out a piercing sound.
“Ah!”
A sharp pain suddenly erupted from the depths of her sea of consciousness. Bai Shengyi, caught off guard, felt as if countless needles were piercing her brain, and the spiritual energy within her also became chaotic.
Seeing this, Qing Bu Li sneered and shook the bell again, intending to catalyze the Starfall Emperor Realm to riot once more, using Bai Shengyi to consecrate the spiritual essence of the transformed dragon.
However, he shook it again, and the Starfall Emperor Realm still obediently attached itself to the Primordial Chaos Paper, like two blue and white flowers.
He shook it again, and the Starfall Emperor Realm remained motionless, but the Dream-Chasing Bell went silent!
Qing Bu Li suddenly realized, amidst the sound of rain, the whistling of wind and the cries of cranes, that at some point, the wind had begun to blow.
Raindrops hit Qing Bu Li’s forehead, and a faint blue glow suddenly filled his entire pupils.
“Divine Fire? How can you have Divine Fire!”
Qing Bu Li’s expression changed, and he hastily took out a trump card magical artifact to switch.
He himself was a cultivator with earth and fire dual spirit roots, extremely familiar with fire. He immediately recognized this as Divine Fire, which had long since disappeared from the Divine启 Continent!
Relying on his magical artifact for defense, even though his eyes ached from the scorching firelight, Qing Bu Li felt a surge of greed.
He said, “I’ve changed my mind. It would be a waste for you to die like this. Give me your fire spirit root.”
He formed a hand seal and approached Bai Shengyi step by step, a smile involuntarily curling at his lips.
Just then, Bai Shengyi suddenly looked up, her face covered in blood. Clearly, the disturbance in her sea of consciousness had affected her significantly.
The Reincarnation Brush waved, and her red lips parted slightly.
“Wind.”
Gales surged.
“Fire.”
Blazing flames seared.
The wind fanned the fire, making her expression appear even more cold and wild.
“What the hell are you, trying to covet Grandma’s fire spirit root!”
A clear voice rang out, and Qing Bu Li’s face showed fear.
“You… you’re fine?” Was the appearance of her qi and blood surging backward from the attack of the Dream-Chasing Bell a pretense?
This was impossible!
The Dream-Chasing Bell was given by him to Yun Kai through the Qing family, and then from Yun Kai to Yun Youyue. Not to mention, he himself was very familiar with the Dream-Chasing Bell. Even with his current Golden Core cultivation, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator would have their cultivation completely废, leaving them mad.
Qing Bu Li wanted to ask more, but saw the wind and fire approaching him like a flood!
“Grandma is tough, you should worry about yourself instead!” Bai Shengyi stood up, her gaze coldly fixed on Qing Bu Li.
If he wanted to snatch her fire spirit root, he would have to see if he had the ability!
Did he think she only had one type of fire?
“Aaaah—”
Intense pain penetrated to the bone, as if her very soul was being roasted. Qing Bu Li’s bloodshot eyes looked at himself, his body fully protected by magical artifacts, yet seemingly undamaged. Then why did he feel as if he were in a raging sea of fire?
Why!
“Ah… Hooo… Hah…”
Qing Bu Li gasped in pain, his killing intent surging. He had a premonition that if he didn’t kill Bai Shengyi today, she would become his greatest obstacle in the future.
“Bai Shengyi, die!”
Qing Bu Li let out a great roar, concentrating all his Golden Core power, and charged forward with his long spear!
“Rumble…”
Raindrops pattered down. Amidst flashes of lightning, the Reincarnation Brush in Bai Shengyi’s hand suddenly drained all her spiritual energy, transforming into a verdant long sword, carrying a sharp spiritual light, and meeting the long spear.
The sword tip and spearhead clashed, emitting a huge roar. Half of the cloud layer in the sky suddenly collapsed!
