Chapter 409 The final trump card
The moment the pale flames appeared, color and sound seemed to be stripped away. Wherever the flames passed, space was visibly frozen and collapsed, leaving behind distorted traces. Even the passage of time seemed to be frozen!
The flames silently surged upwards, instantly freezing the Soul-Devouring Claw into an ice sculpture before disintegrating.
Then, as if possessing a spirit, the flames spread rapidly toward Wu Xuemei along the connection between demonic energy and divine consciousness!
Wu Xuemei's sinister smile froze instantly, replaced by unprecedented horror!
She clearly felt that the pale flames not only froze the demonic energy and her physical body, but also her divine consciousness and even the origin of her demonic soul!
"Trying to drag me down with you? Dream on!"
Without hesitation, Wu Xuemei patted her storage bag, and a thick, mountain-like earthen-yellow light shield instantly unfolded, firmly protecting her behind it.
This was the natal magic weapon of a Golden Core Peak Earth-type genius she killed with Wu Yuanshan's help, the "Mysterious Tortoise Thick Earth Shield," renowned for its defensive capabilities!
However, the Frost of Annihilation is a forbidden power that touches the very source of the laws of ice. The earthen-yellow light shield could only withstand the pale flames for less than two breaths before it quickly melted away, its spiritual light shattered, and even the shield behind it was covered with cracks.
Wu Xuemei's expression changed drastically. She bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of dark red demonic blood containing her life essence.
The blood mist transformed into countless twisted demonic patterns in the air, forming a strange, blood-red shield.
"Ten Thousand Demons Protect the Body, Blood Devouring Mystic Ice!"
The magic runes clashed violently with the pale flames, producing a sizzling, corrosive sound.
The magic runes were constantly frozen and shattered, yet they were constantly replenished from the magic blood.
Finally, after consuming nearly a third of its natal demonic blood, the terrifying flames were completely extinguished.
When the flames completely dissipated, Wu Xuemei was panting heavily, her face was as pale as a ghost, and blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth. She was weak and listless, clearly having paid a huge price.
But when she looked at Shangguan Ling'er, who was slumped on the ground, the madness and greed in her eyes grew even stronger!
"Now, it's my turn to crush your hopes and enjoy my spoils!"
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a cruel smile spreading across her face, and raised her hands again.
This time, there were a full eighteen runes radiating sharp Geng metal energy, all of them fourth-grade superior "Geng metal armor-piercing runes"!
Activating each rune is equivalent to a full-force attack from a Golden Core sword cultivator!
Eighteen golden streaks of light drew treacherous and unpredictable arcs, attacking Shangguan Ling'er from different directions—up, down, left, and right!
Shangguan Ling'er was horrified. At this moment, she was already exhausted and had no choice but to forcefully squeeze out the last bit of spiritual power in her body to barely activate the life-saving item given to her by her master, Ling Xiaozi: the Seven-Colored Cloud Robe.
This is a dazzling protective artifact woven from countless ice phoenix feathers!
Sensing its master's impending death, Xia Yi automatically unleashed a dazzling array of seven-colored light, forming an indestructible barrier.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang...!
Eighteen streams of Geng metal light, like a sudden storm, crashed continuously against the seven-colored light shield, producing a deafening clang of metal against metal.
The light shield fluctuated violently, and the colorful glow dimmed at a visible speed, as if it would shatter at any moment.
But they managed to withstand more than ten terrorist attacks.
"Let's see how many more rounds you can last!"
Wu Xuemei grinned maliciously, completely unconcerned about the consumption of runes, and threw out another thirty-six runes.
These runes were not bought from Shen Rugo, but obtained by her from the demon cave. Each one exuded a corrosive and filthy aura, and they were the vicious Xuan Yin Corrosion Bone Rune and the Filthy Spirit Scattering Soul Rune!
These talismans manifested as a sky full of ghostly fire and foul air, clinging to the seven-colored light shield like a malignant tumor, frantically corroding, eroding, and polluting it.
Under the relentless onslaught, the Seven-Colored Cloud Robe finally succumbed to its strain, its surface radiance completely extinguished, its once magnificent and dazzling feathers turned gray, and its spirituality was utterly annihilated.
Shangguan Ling'er was violently blasted away by the impact of the last wave of runes, crashing into a huge ice rock like a kite with a broken string. Blood gushed out, staining the ice crystal pendant she wore close to her chest blood red. Her breath was extremely weak, and she could not even lift a finger.
Wu Xuemei laughed triumphantly and walked step by step toward Shangguan Ling'er.
Footsteps echoed across the desolate ice field, like the tolling of a death knell.
"My dear junior sister Ling'er, your top-grade spiritual root and innate divine power are truly breathtaking."
She squatted down and roughly lifted Shangguan Ling'er's pale and delicate face. "Unfortunately, your cultivation level is too low. You're not even at the Foundation Establishment stage yet, and you still want to oppose me?"
Faced with absolute power, all your struggles are futile and cannot change your fate of being devoured by me and becoming my cultivation resources. You might as well cooperate with me and let me devour all your blood, your Ice Phoenix Origin, and your top-grade Ice Spirit Root!
Hahaha! Hahahaha!
"Wu Xuemei, you are a demon, and everyone has the right to kill you!"
"Kill me, and our Lingxiao Sect will not let you go. They will find out the truth, avenge me, and slay you, you demon..."
Shangguan Ling'er's eyes dimmed, her pupils began to dilate, but every word she uttered was filled with hatred that ran deep in her bones.
"Lingxiao Sect? They want revenge against me?"
Hahaha..."
Wu Xuemei let out a sinister laugh, "By the time those old fogies of your Lingxiao Sect discover the truth, I will have already mastered the demonic arts!"
Not to mention the Lingxiao Sect, the entire cultivation world of the Tianyuan Continent will tremble beneath my feet!
Transformation into a deity?
That's just the beginning. What I want is the supreme Dao, to achieve the supreme golden body, to become a truly immortal and indestructible immortal, living as long as heaven and earth!
I want to devour more and stronger geniuses, step onto the unparalleled path of the Nascent Soul stage, transcend this realm, and reach the Immortal Realm!
As for your Lingxiao Sect, those so-called geniuses, including those old fogies, each and every one of them will become, like you, the resources for me to embark on the supreme path!
Wu Xuemei laughed heartily as she pressed her right hand against Shangguan Ling'er's cold forehead.
Just as Wu Xuemei's palm was about to press down and activate the Devouring Demon Art, the ice crystal pendant on Shangguan Ling'er's chest, which had been soaked in blood and remained motionless, suddenly burst out with dazzling light!
It was a brilliant blue light that seemed to freeze time and space!
The light did not spread, but instead condensed into a thin, clinging ray that clung tightly to Shangguan Ling'er's body!
"Huh?! There's another trick up your sleeve?!"
As Wu Xuemei pressed her palm against the azure barrier, she felt an indescribable chill instantly rebound, freezing not only her demonic energy but also making her soul tremble!
This is the "Mysterious Ice Soul Guardian," the ultimate life-saving trump card personally crafted by Lingxiaozi, the sect leader of Lingxiao Sect, containing his half-step Nascent Soul strike!
At this moment, Shangguan Ling'er's listless eyes were instantly filled with excitement!
This was her last trump card; she had been waiting for Wu Xuemei to lower her guard!
"The power of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator?!"
Wu Xuemei suddenly let out a scream.
Although she possesses an unparalleled demonic body, she has recently devoured countless spiritual roots and physiques, making her strength and combat power far surpass those of people at the same level. Even when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, she would not be afraid to fight with all her might.
However, she was ultimately far from being a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, and this sudden attack terrified her, causing her soul to scatter.
