Chapter 423 The Great Battle of Foundation Establishment in the Heavenly Dao (5)
Chapter 423 The Great Battle of Foundation Establishment in the Heavenly Dao (5)
The vast and boundless spiritual energy surged and circulated among these eighteen Dao foundations, forming a perfect and harmonious cycle system!
The power of the Heavenly Dao was finally sufficient to support Shen Rugo in completing the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building, which was based on the eighteen Supreme Dao Foundations!
Shen Rugo was overjoyed. She suddenly looked up, her gaze piercing through the void, shooting towards the highest peak of the sacred mountain!
There, the steps were no longer there, but were filled with endless fragments of the laws of the Great Dao and an intense Daoist charm!
As long as she successfully introduces the fragments of the Great Dao Laws and the Dao Rhyme into her body and merges them with these eighteen Dao Foundations, Shen Rugo will be able to truly achieve the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!
At this moment, the third, fifth, sixth, and eighth steps of the nine steps surrounding the sacred mountain had completely disappeared, while the first, second, and seventh steps had dimmed and their energy was reduced to less than one-tenth.
Only the final ninth and fourth steps still fully contain the immense power of the Heavenly Dao!
Seeing Wu Xuemei recklessly damage her own essence, unleashing terrifying demonic power to break through all the formations, like a demon returned from hell, carrying raging demonic flames, she rushed straight towards the ninth level.
The power of the Heavenly Dao at the ninth level is significantly stronger than that at the fourth level.
A fierce glint flashed in Shen Rugo's eyes!
"Wow!"
A clear, high-pitched phoenix cry, seemingly capable of freezing time and space, resounded throughout the heavens!
With the full support of Shen Rugo's transformed spiritual power, the Ice Phoenix was re-formed!
This time, the Ice Phoenix's form was almost materialized, its feathers as clear and translucent as ice crystals, each feather flowing with runes formed from innate cold energy, its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky!
The pressure and chill emanating from it were many times stronger than before!
The moment the Ice Phoenix appeared, the entire Heavenly Dao Divine Mountain trembled violently, and its surface was instantly covered with several feet of thick mysterious ice!
Not only the sacred mountain, but also the entire secret realm within a hundred miles centered on the sacred mountain, where the sky and earth changed color and everything froze!
Rivers froze, vegetation turned into ice sculptures, and even the air seemed to be frozen solid!
Those monsters that were watching from a distance, except for a few stronger ones like the Sky-Splitting Crocodile and the Mystic Rock Turtle, were able to barely hold on. The rest of the weaker ones were instantly turned into ice sculptures of various shapes, their life force almost completely cut off!
Wu Xuemei was the first to be affected, feeling an indescribable chill penetrate her bones and freeze her soul!
The dark red demonic energy surging around her suddenly slowed down!
If she hadn't previously devoured Shangguan Ling'er's top-grade ice spirit root, which gave her some resistance to the cold, she would probably have been frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant, and even her demonic soul would have been annihilated!
Even so, when the ice phoenix's long beak, carrying a chilling light that seemed to pierce through eternity, came fiercely pecking at her, Wu Xuemei was terrified. She no longer cared about absorbing the power of the ninth-level Heavenly Dao. She screamed and fled in panic!
Thus, a highly dramatic scene unfolded on Tiandao Mountain: a massive, sacred ice phoenix, spreading its icy wings, chased after a fleeing, disheveled demonic figure.
Wherever it passed, ice covered the land for thousands of miles, and the demonic energy melted away.
Shen Rugo stood in mid-air, watching Wu Xuemei's panicked and lost appearance, and burst into hearty laughter.
Just as the chase reached a stalemate, and Shen Rugo was finding it difficult to win over Wu Xuemei,
"Crack!!"
A crisp sound came from the sky!
The gray sky above the secret realm was suddenly torn open by an incomparably tyrannical force, creating a crack!
From the crack, a fierce and domineering figure, brimming with boundless fighting spirit, burst forth like a meteorite!
Before the figure could fully regain its footing, that signature booming voice resounded like thunder throughout the heavens and earth:
"As expected! This damn secret realm is actually something else entirely! This is the true core area! The spiritual energy here is so rich!"
"Junior Sister! Junior Sister! Are you here?! Answer me quickly, Junior Sister!"
The person who came was none other than Shen Rugo's fifth senior brother, Xiao Qiushui!
It turns out that Xiao Qiushui almost slaughtered all the disciples of Qingyuan Sect in his search for Shen Rugo in the northern secret realm, but still could not find any trace of his junior sister.
In his anxiety and rage, he went berserk, bombarding the secret realm space in a frenzy to vent his anger.
Unexpectedly, his full-force punch when his bloodline was fully unleashed accidentally shook the spatial structure of the secret realm, creating this crack connecting to the core area!
Sensing the pure energy fluctuations emanating from the crack, he rushed in without hesitation.
"Fifth Senior Brother!! I'm here!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Shen Rugo was first taken aback, and then a surge of immense joy and emotion welled up in her heart!
She immediately withdrew the Ice Phoenix and responded loudly.
She was constantly worried about the safety of Xiao Qiushui and the others, fearing that they would be hunted down by the Qingyuan Sect, especially since Xiao Qiushui possessed a special bloodline, which was exactly what Wu Xuemei liked to devour.
She was truly afraid that Xiao Qiushui had already been won over by Wu Xuemei, so hearing his voice now naturally brought her immense joy.
Xiao Qiushui looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw the petite figure that he had been longing for. Although the face was not the one he was familiar with, he knew that it must be Shen Rugo. Shen Rugo was skilled in disguise, so this was obviously a different face.
Overjoyed, he flashed and appeared beside Shen Rugo as if by teleportation, grabbing her tightly in his arms. The immense force made it difficult for Shen Rugo to breathe.
"Junior Sister! Thank goodness! You're alright! That's wonderful!"
Xiao Qiushui's voice was loud and clear, filled with barely suppressed excitement, and tears even glistened in his tiger-like eyes. "Do you know how frantic I was when I couldn't find you! In a fit of rage, I slaughtered all the Qingyuan Sect scum in my area and stole all their storage bags. I've saved all the good stuff for you so you can break through to the Foundation Establishment realm!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly took out several bulging storage bags and stuffed them into Shen Ruge's pocket.
This gesture warmed Shen Rugo's heart and brought tears to her eyes.
"Fifth Senior Brother, thank you!" Shen Rugo quickly pressed his hand down, speaking rapidly, "Keep these things safe for now, I don't need them right now!"
"Not needed?"
Xiao Qiushui was taken aback, only then noticing that Shen Rugo's aura was smooth and full, with inner spiritual light, clearly indicating that she had reached the peak of the Qi Refining realm and was just waiting to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
Shen Rugo immediately used the most concise language to quickly tell Xiao Qiushui about the special situation here and her struggle with Wu Xuemei. She also emphasized that there were still two complete steps on the mountain and the Daoist charm at the top of the mountain, which were excellent opportunities to help him condense his Golden Core!
Xiao Qiushui suddenly realized, her large, bell-like eyes widening as she stared at Wu Xuemei, who was looking at them with suspicion and uncertainty not far away.
Xiao Qiushui frowned, her face revealing undisguised disgust and contempt.
He was straightforward and ruthless when he got sarcastic, directly cursing: "Who do we have here? It's you, you shameless ugly monster, you venomous woman!"
What's this? You were trying to seduce us fellow disciples in the sect before, and now you're here bullying my junior sister?
Why don't you take a piss and look at your own face?
He's ugly inside and out, his whole body is emitting black smoke, like a toad that just crawled out of a cesspool, it's disgusting to look at!
"With your character, you're not even fit to carry my junior sister's shoes! You dare steal my opportunity? Bah!"
He cursed quickly and harshly, each word like a knife, specifically targeting Wu Xuemei's sore spots.
