Free Web NovelMingxi’s beautiful eyes gleamed.
Previously, after much tinkering and with the combined efforts of Golden Yuanbao Seven and Guangguang, she had barely managed to figure out how to use the Tianlong Claw.
The usage was actually not complicated; it only required inputting nine or more different elemental energies into the hollow part where the dragon claw closed.
She could accomplish this by herself, without needing help from others.
Golden Yuanbao’s Demon, Lightning, Flight; Little Silver Flower’s Angel, Dragon; Lan Yue’s Ice, Fire; and Emerald Green’s Asura, Grass, already provided the nine elements.
When the nine energies fused within the dragon claw, they would form a nine-colored energy bead.
When the energy bead fell and shattered, a... how should she put it, Mingxi tentatively called it a Starry Road, would appear on the ground.
Embracing the mindset of 'nothing to lose by trying,' they stepped onto the Starry Road and walked forward.
After the starlight disappeared, they would use the Tianlong Claw to fuse another energy bead, repeating this process for about four or five hours.
They actually entered the Lingjue Death Ground.
She just... didn’t understand the principle.
She had originally thought the Tianlong Claw could retire after its success, but she didn’t expect it to have a subsequent role.
And it seemed to be a very important role!
“What’s going on?”
No one could answer this question. freewebnøvel.com
Mingxi stopped the three rebellious cubs, whose curiosity was flaring up simultaneously, “Don’t go near them, they clearly spell big trouble.”
She had just signaled Golden Yuanbao to attack the heart and the Tianlong Claw with Ghost Slayer Slash, but not only did they show no signs of damage, the light surrounding them grew even brighter.
Damage absorption!
Not only that, they also had the ability to ignore Barriers.
So even though Golden Yuanbao and the others all said that heart emitted strong light energy, she still felt this thing was ominous.
In this world, there was no saying that light energy represented justice or goodness.
Energy had no good or evil!
She said to Yue Lingren, “Blade Old, I suggest you quickly get Miss Suì Wǎn and the others out; I feel there’s a ninety-nine percent chance this altar won’t be saved.”
You have your stratagem, and I have my countermeasure.
Clearly, besides Yue Ling Bona, their self-destruct card, Yue An's and their partner, the Descent Organization, had also made backup preparations.
She just didn’t know if Hermeqi knew he was part of these destined-to-be-cannon-fodder backup preparations. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Yue Lingren and the others reacted quickly, immediately ordering their pet beasts to destroy the defensive shields of Yue Ling Suiwan and Yue Ling Qianchen.
Neither of them doubted Mingxi's judgment, and they rushed off the altar with their pet beasts like the wind, as if a second’s delay would mean decapitation.
The second after they left the altar, the Tianlong Claw and the heart met at the main sacrificial position in the center of the altar.
“Pop.”
Like a lotus platform opening, the charred, closed dragon claw actually opened on its own.
The white-glowing heart dropped into the claw with a ‘thud.’
The dragon claw closed again.
It looked very much like an enlarged version of a dragon claw holding a pearl.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The thumping noise of the heart became clearer, drawing their heartbeats along with it.
Black and white light intertwined.
“Guangguang, any thoughts?”
Mingxi’s mindset at this moment was very calm; she had tried, but since she couldn’t stop it or kill it, what else could she do but calm down?
Just wait for the situation to unfold.
Anyway, she had a one-time spatial teleportation token.
At worst, she could flee in disarray.
Her relaxed demeanor might not affect others, but it had no problem affecting her own pet beasts; Golden Yuanbao Seven also entered a state of 'no-self' under the influence of her emotions.
To put it simply, it was a state of emptiness of the five aggregates.
None of them noticed that the power of bonds, which had been nearly depleted due to their six-in-one state, had actually recovered a little in this relaxed state.
The power of bonds, unlike energy, could not be restored through potions, items, or skills; the power of bonds itself was not easy to accumulate.
Bonds, in essence, were a special manifestation of emotional power.
And emotions were the most mysterious things, formless and intangible, which was why the power of bonds was the hardest to recover.
“It’s full of new technology and powerful stuff, so Master, you don’t need to test me; I really don’t have any related records in my database.
However, that heart is definitely from Laricavron, but it has also been modified into a living tool.
Seeing that these two things can even combine, you’re right, this thing is indeed very evil, and that so-called Descent Organization really can’t produce anything proper.”
Mingxi didn't make things difficult for Guangguang.
It was best if it could give her ideas, but if not, she wouldn't force it.
At this moment, the ‘technology and powerful stuff’ Guangguang mentioned fell.
Bang—
“Absolute Barrier.”
“Safe Haven.”
“Repelling Ice Ring.”
“...”
Several people gave orders almost simultaneously, each displaying their unique abilities, directing their pet beasts to release defensive skills.
The next second.
A muffled yet intense explosion sounded.
One Mach ring after another appeared, and the airwaves swept across the sky.
“Crack, crack, crack...”
The altar, which had stood for an unknown number of years, emitted dense, urgent cracking sounds, instantly turning into nothing.
Yue Ling Bona, who had been thrown back onto the altar by Hermeqi, had long since returned to dust, dying without even a speck remaining.
“Barrier.”
“Guardian Shield.”
“Ice Wall.”
“...”
The defensive skills in front of Mingxi and the others also faced a new round of challenges.
Fortunately, Mingxi and the five others, plus Yue Ling Suiwan and the two who had just escaped, each had a defensive pet beast, and the skills of these pet beasts were enough for them to jointly establish a solid defensive wall.
“Boom!”
The ground suddenly collapsed but quickly stabilized.
A giant pit appeared before Mingxi and the others.
It greatly resembled the Devil’s Sinkhole in Texas from her previous life.
It was like the earth suddenly opened a giant mouth, as if to swallow them whole.
Mingxi leaned out to look down.
It was pitch black below, bottomless, feeling like one glance could give a healthy person claustrophobia.
The pit walls seemed to have been torn by a mysterious force, appearing irregularly shattered, with exposed rocks jagged and menacing, uneven.
Like the sharp fangs of a monster, casting eerie shadows in the sunlight.
“Whoosh—”
A cold wind drifted up from below.
It’s no exaggeration to describe it as that kind of ethereal feeling, also carrying a damp, decaying, chilling aura.
“The gloomy aura has materialized.”
Yue Ling Qianchen, pulling his cousin’s arm, was also craning his neck to peer into the pit, exclaiming in wonder.
“Grandpa, how about I ride my Convertible down to take a look?” Convertible was the name of his pet beast, the Winged Fang Tiger.
Yue Lingren did not express an opinion, but Qian Bingning couldn't stand it anymore.
“Brother, can you be more steady? We haven’t even figured out what’s going on with this giant pit, and you dare to take Convertible down? What if it’s an anti-Flight zone? What if it’s poisonous? What if there are monsters?”
“Little Qian is right. Qianchen, everything about you is good, except for this personality of yours, it’s unbearable.”
Yue Ling Qianchen: “...”
What was wrong with his personality? Brave, tenacious, unafraid of difficulties, he was doing great!
“I’ll go instead.”
