Chapter 169: Ultimate Transcendence, Coordinated Nuke! The Invincible Path of the Flame Emperor (Part 1)
"Are you going to come or not?"
Xiao Longnv was furious, "Hmph! I'm not going to use the Skyward Mirror this time. Just now, it was only the mirror's automatic protection of its master!"
"If you don't come, I'll use the Skyward Mirror to kill you all!"
Finally, an opportunity to let loose and go crazy, but they were not giving her any face.
How dare they!
If they truly didn't give her face, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
Her words caused the two great powerhouses of the sects to feel dizzy and nauseous, their eyes turning black, and some even started to shake uncontrollably.
Are you even speaking human language?
If we don't fight, you'll kill us.
If we fight and accidentally injure her, the Skyward Mirror will automatically protect its master, and we'll still die.
So, aren't we fighting for nothing?
Whether we fight or not, we'll die. What do you want us to do?
Is there anyone as bullying as you?
Their minds were in chaos.
Even Xiao Ling'er's subsequent attacks were avoided if possible, and they only reluctantly defended when they couldn't dodge.
"What should we do now?"
They communicated through divine sense, each one of them feeling anxious.
Xiao Longnv wasn't joking around.
They all understood this clearly.
This little girl was serious, and if she wasn't satisfied, she would truly take their lives.
If they attacked, they'd die, and if they didn't, they'd still die...
"Don't panic! There's definitely a way, there must be!"
"Heaven never blocks the path of man."
It was at this moment that the Valley Master of Heavenly Poison Valley turned pale, and even in his grief, he communicated, "There's a chance!"
"I suddenly realized that she wants us to attack her, but she didn't say she wanted us to kill her!"
"Just now, the Skyward Mirror protected its master because one of your elders attacked too fiercely, sensing the threat and automatically protecting her. Before Bao Ruyi fought for so long, didn't the Skyward Mirror remain inactive and unresponsive?"
"Therefore, in this Valley Master's opinion, we should fight her!"
"But we can't go all out, and we mustn't be too aggressive. In other words, as long as we ensure we don't have the strength to injure her, the Skyward Mirror won't kill us!"
"So, this person only needs to stall her."
"As for the rest of us, although there are only six great powerhouses, Xiao Ling'er won't be able to defeat us. Even if we're temporarily at a disadvantage, as long as we can stall her for a moment..."
"Once her deadly secret technique's time limit is up, her strength will sharply decrease, and she won't have the strength to fight again for a short while."
"At that time, we'll kill Xiao Ling'er, destroy the Return Origin Sect, and immediately escape."
"This girl's speed won't be able to catch up to us."
"If you're still afraid of her settling scores later, we can relocate our sect after returning..."
"Good!"
The Palace Master of Windfire Palace exclaimed, "That makes sense, but who will go?"
Everyone looked at each other.
They all turned to Bao Ruyi.
Bao Ruyi stomped his feet, "What are you all looking at me for?"
"You've fought her, and both sides were so harmonious. If not you, then who?"
Bao Ruyi: "..."
Who doesn't know this? But I'm scared!
What if I accidentally injure her, and the Skyward Mirror suddenly reacts? Then I won't see the sun tomorrow either.
However, seeing his hesitation, the others urged him.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Are you scared?"
"Don't hesitate, go!"
"Are you worried about injuring her? Don't think too much, and don't hold back. If you could injure her, you wouldn't have waited until now."
"That's right, not only must you not hold back, but you must give it your all. Only then will she not think we're playing her and won't act recklessly. Otherwise, we'll all die!"
"Yes, Old Bao, hurry up! Our lives are in your hands; you're the most important!"
Bao Ruyi: "..."
You're welcome.
His face twitched uncontrollably.
Are you comforting me or demoralizing me?
Bao Ruyi, with a dark expression, charged towards Xiao Longnv, "Witch, don't be so arrogant!"
"Watch me take you down!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
They quickly communicated, scolding, "Why are you barking like a dog?"
"You're barking like a dog!!!"
"What witch? If she gets angry, or if the people behind her get angry, do we still have a way out?"
"Are you an idiot? Just fight if you want to. Why are you barking like a dog?"
Bao Ruyi: "[○｀Д´○]!!! I'm so pissed off!"
How dare they bully him!
It's infuriating!
Too much!
Is there anyone as bullying as you? She bullies me, and you bully me too?
But after a moment's thought, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Indeed, that's how it is!
He calmed down.
His barking turned into silence.
Seeing this, Xiao Longnv was slightly satisfied, but only slightly, and she even pouted, "Why is it you again? You're too weak!"
"Oh well, at least let me have some fun."
"Even those at the Fifth and Sixth Stages, come at me!"
Bao Ruyi: "(⊙o⊙)..."
What did I do to deserve this?
I'm a great powerhouse!
At the Seventh Stage!
At the Harmonious Dao Stage!
Too weak?
Bao Ruyi was speechless.
He couldn't afford to provoke her.
Bao Ruyi silently cried in his heart, and with resentment, he attacked, pushing his abilities to the extreme.
At the same time, he was afraid of using too much force and being killed by the Skyward Mirror.
Fortunately, he was worrying too much.
Even though he attacked with all his strength, he still couldn't break through Xiao Longnv's defense.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he was stunned.
That's not right!
Why am I sighing in relief? Doesn't this mean I'm truly weak?
Damn it!!!
...
"For now, the Flower Sanctuary has been stabilized."
"I've realized that we have no grudges with them. That young lady is a crazy bitch! She doesn't care about hatred or enmity; she just wants to fight and cause trouble!"
"Let's have Bao Ruyi and the others stall her for now. Don't think about winning, and definitely don't think about killing. Just humor her and play along."
"If we can make this little old lady happy, she won't make things too difficult for us."
"But what about our Fifth and Sixth Stage Elders and Deacons from both sects? What should we do about them?"
"..."
"There's nothing we can do. If some of them die, then so be it. This little old lady is from the Sacred Land, and her status there is outrageous. If she wants to play, what can we do?"
"This is hurtful to say, but it's the truth. Not only is she eager to fight, but even if she wanted to take our heads and use them as chamber pots, what could we do?"
"It's not just about us, but also about those backing us. What could they do?"
"Sigh."
The great powerhouses from both sects communicated through divine sense while engaging in a fierce battle with Xiao Ling'er.
They sighed in frustration, each sharing their woes.
"Enough!"
The Hall Master of the Windfire Palace took a deep breath, suppressing his annoyance, and transmitted his thoughts, "Destroying the Return Origin Sect should have been a sure thing, but unexpected changes keep occurring."
"All because of these two women!"
"We can't provoke that little old lady, but what about Xiao Ling'er? Can't we kill her?!"
"Yes!"
For a moment, the crowd's emotions ran high.
"Kill her!"
"Her secret techniques are indeed astonishing, and her various methods are outrageous. If we didn't join forces, we would undoubtedly be no match for her. That powerful lotus technique is something none of us can block, but I don't believe this secret technique can be maintained for long!"
"She must be at her last breath."
"Keep our distance, engage in a long-distance battle, and don't let her escape!"
"Wait until she enters her weak phase, and when she's vulnerable, take her life!"
They quickly put their plan into action. Six of them spread out, surrounding Xiao Ling'er.
They even formed the simplest Six-Harmony Formation, using the power of the formation to further enhance their combat strength and seal Xiao Ling'er within.
They didn't engage in direct combat with her, nor did they clash head-on.
They were merely buying time, ensuring she couldn't escape.
"This is bad!"
Li Tianyang furrowed his brows in anger, "They're so shameless!"
"So many powerhouses, dealing with a junior like her, and they're still this shameless. Using such tactics is truly despicable; they have no shame."
"It's shameless, but it's also the most effective strategy."
"When facing an enemy who's using secret techniques to fight for their life, this is the best approach." A Supreme Elder sighed, "Moreover, in a life-and-death battle like this, one must use all means necessary."
"Sect Master."
"We should still prepare ourselves."
Li Tianyang fell silent.
He knew all too well that this was the most correct and suitable strategy.
But he was furious!!!
"Huff!"
"Get ready!"
After a moment, Li Tianyang shouted, "As soon as Xiao Ling'er's energy starts to decline, we'll immediately take action! Even if we have to self-destruct here, we must protect her and ensure she escapes!"
"She's incredibly talented, and she deserves a brilliant future. She shouldn't die because of us!"
"Moreover, she has already killed a powerhouse, and she gave us a glimmer of hope. We've already repaid the favor, and the Return Origin Sect won't be cowards who fear death."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The elders of the Return Origin Sect responded in unison.
The disciples silently polished their artifacts, talismans, and prepared for a life-or-death battle.
...
"The time for Immortal Fire Nine Transformations is running out."
The Medicine Matriarch's voice turned cold, "Although it's shameless, what they're doing is undoubtedly the right choice."
"What do you plan to do now?"
"Yes, time is running out." Xiao Ling'er sighed helplessly, "If I had six or seven-tenths of Dragon Aojiao's power, I would have already killed them all by now, right?"
Medicine Matriarch: "..."
"Dragon Aojiao is indeed..."
For a moment, the Medicine Matriarch struggled to find the right words.
That girl was truly a freak!
She had lived for countless years, but she had never even heard of Dragon Aojiao's freakish abilities!
"But you shouldn't belittle yourself. In the future, who knows who will be stronger?"
"Yes." Xiao Ling'er smiled slightly, "Who knows who will be stronger in the future?"
"Moreover, this isn't even my limit."
"Teacher..."
"In your opinion, have I reached my peak in the Fifth Stage?"
Her energy gradually weakened.
Although the decline wasn't rapid, the Windfire Palace and Heavenly Poison Valley members saw hope, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. However, they didn't immediately rush into battle.
They were waiting for Xiao Ling'er to completely weaken.
They were also cautious, thinking she might be luring them into a trap.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Tianyang and the others stood up, their injuries still severe, but they had mustered their strength, ready for a life-or-death battle.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on Xiao Ling'er.
Xiao Longnv, while chasing and being chased, transmitted her thoughts, "Should I step in and kill them?"
"At worst, I'll use the Skyward Mirror, and none of them will survive."
Xiao Ling'er's mental state nearly collapsed upon hearing this.
She had been fighting for her life, but Xiao Longnv could easily kill them with a wave of her hand.
The depth of the Sacred Land...
However, Xiao Ling'er didn't want to borrow Xiao Longnv's strength, or rather, she didn't want to owe her a favor.
Favors must be repaid.
Besides, this was her own battle.
"I can still manage."
She responded.
"Alright, but if there's any danger, remember to call me." Xiao Longnv was half-believing, half-doubting.
This was still possible?
In the shadows, Dragon Aojiao also frowned slightly.
"Xiao Ling'er is indeed exceptional. She has the qualifications to be my maid, or even my concubine."
"Alas..."
She quickly dismissed the thought, realizing that in her current female form, she had to let go of such ideas and pretend they never occurred. She then communicated via a sound transmission, "Do you wish to use my favor?"
"If I take action, they will be as easy to kill as chickens and dogs."
"If you don't want to use up this favor, you can also exchange it for something."
Dragon Aojiao's abacus was clicking loudly in her mind.
However, she also wanted to maintain her pride, "I think it's better if you don't use the favor. After all, my favors are extremely precious. These mere ants are not worthy."
Alright then.
Six seventh stage experts, and even among them, one at the fifth level of the seventh stage, were all considered mere ants in Dragon Aojiao's eyes.
But considering his past achievements, it was understandable.
Xiao Ling'er was slightly startled, but she couldn't help but wonder why Dragon Aojiao had come. Suddenly, a realization flashed through her mind, "Is it Master?"
She then replied, "There's no need to take action yet. I can still handle this."
Dragon Aojiao's eyebrows rose slightly, "Are you sure?"
"If you die later, my favor will be nullified."
"Thank you for your concern, Dragon Girl. I still want to give it a try!"
Dragon Aojiao immediately scoffed, "You're ungrateful!"
She felt a little annoyed.
This was the first time she had shown such concern for someone, but they didn't appreciate it?
Unbelievable, she had actually come as well.
The Medicine Matriarch sighed.
Just a moment ago, they were discussing, and now she suddenly appeared, wanting to help.
Such a coincidence?
Putting aside her stray thoughts, she said, "I'm not sure if she has reached the Extreme Realm as described in the books, but among those I've seen, no one has progressed further than you in the fifth stage!"
The Extreme Realm!
After reading "Covering the Sky with One Hand," they finally understood this concept.
At the same time, Xiao Ling'er was secretly competing with herself.
She wasn't trying to surpass anyone, nor was she aiming to defeat anyone. Instead, she was competing with herself, striving to be better than the person she was yesterday, every single day.
With each step, she wanted to be grounded and steadily move forward.
In fact...
She could have already broken through to the sixth stage.
But she had been deliberately suppressing her cultivation realm.
While suppressing her realm, she was also continuously improving herself.
Whether it was her physical body, soul power, or her cultivation, she was enhancing them all.
Currently, she was still at the peak of the fifth stage, but in terms of the capacity of her physical body's profound energy, it was even more 'immense' than many sixth stage cultivators! Her physical body was stronger than most sixth stage cultivators! And her soul power could even rival that of a seventh stage cultivator!
At this point, it was already very difficult to make further progress in her current realm.
Had she... reached the Extreme Realm?
Xiao Ling'er didn't know.
The Medicine Matriarch wasn't sure either.
But they were both certain of one thing: among those they knew, no one had progressed further than Xiao Ling'er in the fifth stage.
Even if it wasn't the Extreme Realm, it was very close!
And at this moment...
"Master has vast knowledge, but has she never seen anyone progress further than me?"
Xiao Ling'er smiled.
Like a blooming flower, radiant as the summer sun.
"Then, let's do it this way."
"Perhaps this is my extreme in the fifth stage."
"Alright."
In her spiritual sea, the Medicine Matriarch nodded, her face filled with a proud smile.
It wasn't pride for herself, but... seeing her own pride, as if watching her surpass her own achievements from back then...
"Your extreme realm ascension is happening right now!"
"Yes, Master."
Boom!!!
Xiao Ling'er's gradually fading aura suddenly stopped, and then, it shot up in a straight line, and surged!!!
Another level up?
No, it was ten levels up!
A shocking aura spread, leaving everyone astonished.
"This is impossible."
"How could this be?!"
"As expected, she's doing this on purpose to lure us into taking action. Could it be that this is her final struggle before her demise?"
"No, no, she's..."
"Breaking through?!"
"This...?"
The Windfire Palace and Heavenly Poison Valley members were all stunned.
"Using a burst-type secret technique, depleting herself to the extreme, and yet she's breaking through right now??"
"Is this possible?!"
At this moment.
Even if they didn't understand modern slang, they couldn't help but think, "Are you fcking kidding me?!"
Amidst their shock, they felt something was terribly wrong.
"Once she breaks through, her essence, energy, and spirit will all recover, and she'll be even stronger than before. She'll be able to use that damn burst technique again."
"Furthermore, even though it seems like just one step to the next realm, her combat power will surge. If we let her succeed, we're all in danger!"
"Quick, stop her!"
"We can't let her break through."
"Otherwise, we'll all die here."
They panicked.
It's one thing to cheat, but to cheat and kill yourself? How could this be tolerated?
"Kill!"
"Don't think about avoiding further casualties. This woman is sinister. If we don't give it our all, we'll all die here!"
"We have no choice!
