第四千一百七十八章 冰魄

Not only did a golden cloud of bimetallic color gather above her head, but a lightning bolt as thick as an arm shot down from the cloud.

The shape of this lightning was peculiar; it looked like a roaring dragon at first glance. Upon closer inspection, each part of the dragon's body was composed of densely packed, tiny golden runes, each with different meanings and imbued with a mysterious aura.

Nine heavens' thunderbolt!

Tian Xiang’s pupils constricted involuntarily. At this moment, the whistling sound of something piercing through the air reached his ears—those arrows that had been deflected were now close to him.

Tian Xiang showed no expression on his face as he waved his sleeves. A gray light霞flashed out, seemingly unremarkable but containing strange法则power within.

Such a fierce attack turned into nothingness upon contact with it. The arrow rain seemed never to have existed.

A hint of surprise flashed in Tian Xiang’s eyes as he no longer paid attention to Li Yutong and instead focused on Bingpo, flicking his fingers at her.

Pfft…

Five-colored glassy pearls appeared at the tip of his finger, emitting a piercing sound. They rapidly compressed into something roughly the size of a needle, exuding an eerie glow that was uncomfortable to look at. As Tian Xiang moved, it flashed and shot towards Bingpo.

Hit them one by one!

Danger must be eliminated before it grows.

Bingpo’s situation mirrored Li Yutong's, but this was precisely her weakest moment.

Although Tian Xiang’s combat experience might not have been as extensive as theirs, his timing was impeccable.

Li Yutong, due to her position, could not assist even if she wanted to. However, a hundred paces away, the Heavens' Witch Goddess suddenly appeared, blocking Bingpo's path.

It wasn't because of their close relationship that she risked herself; rather, the Heavens' Witch Goddess knew that everyone’s fates were intertwined—rise and fall together.

Bingpo's sudden demise would be a significant blow to their side. Her survival would create a heavy burden for Tian Xiang.

But regardless of her thoughts, the flying needle with its strange glow was already close.

The Nine Heavens' Goddess lightly called out as a shield about the size of a palm appeared, resembling a turtle shell with ancient runes etched upon it.

A先天object!

Indeed, this was also a top-grade灵宝.

In terms of quality, it didn't fall short of Lin Xuan's玄龟龙甲盾. The Heavens' Witch Goddess pointed her jade finger, pouring in thick魔气 without hesitation.

The shield buzzed before a faint image of the Azure Dragon appeared, its form dense and solid.

Then, the sound of impact was like a thunderclap in clear skies.

A faint roar of the Azure Dragon could be heard but was eventually drowned by the burst of multi-colored light.

Cracks spread across the surface of the shield as the flying needle pierced through it, falling to the ground with its momentum undiminished!

Directly aimed at her brow.

There was no time to dodge; at such close range, she couldn't even summon a treasure.

The danger was now at a critical moment.

The Heavens' Witch Goddess’s pupils constricted but she did not panic. At this crucial moment, she extended her right hand, moving as fast as lightning, wrapping the heavy魔气 around her index finger.

The blackness was so deep it seemed almost tangible, like an ancient abyss.

Then, with a solemn gesture, she pointed at the flying needle.

Time seemed to slow down in that instant.

Her jade finger, delicate and graceful, but at its tip was a dark dot as thick as ink.

Boom!

It collided with the flying needle.

Accompanying this was a piercing scream that entered her ears.

The light and black energy intertwined.

Two completely different forces clashed violently.

But ultimately, it was the light that couldn't withstand the blackness. The flying needle shattered into tiny starlight fragments, dissipating in the air.

No wonder she was once the Heavens' Witch Goddess; she still managed to block this near-fatal strike.

This complex process took less than a breath of time. The lightning shaped like a true dragon had just reached Bingpo's head.

The thundercloud above her head dimmed, as if the dragon-shaped lightning had exhausted all its energy.

One could only imagine its power…

However, unlike other cultivators undergoing tribulation, Bingpo did not dodge or summon any treasures to block this bolt of lightning. She even dispelled her protective light.

Standing there bare-handed and barefoot in white robes, with silver hair flowing in the wind, she was already a true魔女.

Then the lightning struck.

She stood bathed in golden electric light, her brows slightly furrowed as if feeling pain. However, the aura around her suddenly surged, more than three times greater than Li Yutong's earlier display.

Metamorphosis!

The energy emitted became different; it was still魔气 but could perfectly blend with仙灵力.

True Demon!

Indeed, Bingpo had advanced to a level comparable to immortals.

It should be noted that although she was once one of the nine true demon始祖, this title was merely a face-saving measure. Just like how any young female cultivator could be called an immortal regardless of her cultivation level, it didn't mean she possessed the consciousness of a true immortal.

The same applied to the true demon始祖.

In fact, even if they were among the nine始祖, or the former demon leader, none had the right to call themselves true demons. Of course, the closest one was but still fell short by a step.

Two people giving him such surprises, and the Heavens' Witch Goddess blocking his certain victory, Tian Xiang's expression darkened.

Although this wasn't yet a crisis for him, the situation deviated from his original plan. If it continued like this, it would be disadvantageous.

As he thought this, he didn’t immediately attack but remained calm and composed, even chuckling lightly: "Not bad, not bad, Li Yutong, Bingpo. I underestimated you both. Despite the destruction of the仙灵通道, unable to undergo经文洗髓, you still managed to reach such a realm. But what good is becoming an immortal? Do you really think just this can match me?"

"You must be unaware of the vast difference between ordinary immortals and Dao Ancestors," Tian Xiang’s cold laughter echoed in their ears. (To be continued...)
