Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Chapter 488: Chapter 84 Enchantress Turns Into a Plaintiff
 

Although Yan Yu was speaking to Chen Lingyun, he also used his divine sense to lock onto the others, so everyone could hear the conversation between the two.

Is this esteemed Mysterious High Lamp master really so terrifying?

The only completely unstoppable foe we’ve encountered so far was the Sword Control master Mei Yingxue in The Secret Realm of Li Palace.

In the current state of Spiritual Energy Resurgence Level, it’s impossible to encounter anything as absurd as an Infant Soul master condescending to cut down Foundation Establishment cultivators. Mei Yingxue was characterized by her extreme speed—so fast that you simply couldn’t react in time, which made her an “absolutely unstoppable enemy.”

According to Yan Yu, this “Mysterious High Lamp master” is probably an enemy of that caliber as well.

Moreover, this mysterious realm is not a test-type one, so the level of danger is even more exaggerated than the time with Mei Yingxue, which is why Yan Yu asked everyone to leave first… However, this demon monk BOSS wouldn’t let them go, so there was nothing to be done.

Lin Ning quickly stood in front of everyone, the Green Bamboo Sword flying high, aiming directly at the Mysterious High Lamp master, her face filled with a high-spirited will to fight and unyielding determination.

Zhao Yuanzhen was slightly behind her, also controlling the Yin Wind Sword in the air, and took out the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer, although inwardly she had some doubts.

She instinctively sensed that this Mysterious High Lamp master was not an easy adversary.

I shouldn’t rush to attack, let the little thief test the waters first, and I’ll just follow Ling Yun’s command.

Su Yunjin stood behind Zhao Yuanzhen, also ready for battle, carefully assessing the surroundings.

The Great Hero Treasure Hall is spacious, deploying the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Art won’t have the exaggerated effect like it did in the passage before.

But as long as the captain is here, I’m not afraid.

Chen Lingyun stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Yunjin, holding the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Prison Banner in the left hand and prayer beads in the right, with Black and White Impermanence standing guard on either side as she silently mulled things over.

Xie Ruoxi hid behind the two, trembling from the tense and lethal ambiance, yet not so scared that she was utterly immobilized. She kept popping Qi-boosting Elixir Medicine into her mouth, tears nearly falling.

It’s over, it’s over, I’m going to die, I shouldn’t have used so much Thunder Method before… she cried out in her heart.

The situation on the field was so tense it could explode at any second, and the live broadcast outside boiled over once again.

The audience was initially looking forward to the confrontation between Zhenhai and Huofeng teams, cheerfully waiting to see the cultivators from both teams use all their methods, display their divine skills, and stage an earth-shattering showdown. What they didn’t expect was that this great play would start with the duel between the two captains, and also end with a duel between the two captains.

Where is the promised excitement? We only saw Zhou Hongyu being blown up by Yan Yu again, not exciting enough!

Especially the fans of the Huofeng Team, after Zhou Hongyu was defeated with a bloody nose, most of them left a cursing comment and indignantly left the live broadcast.

Nobody expected the real show was still to come. First, they fought the demon so perilously, and after defeating the demon, out came a demon monk… Okay, quickly take away the utterly defeated Huofeng Team, we want to see Zhenhai Team fight the mysterious realm BOSS!

At that, the Mysterious High Lamp master smiled slightly, shaking the Glazed Lamp in his hand, gently shaking off thousands of candle flames.

Suddenly there was a vast expanse of lamp blossoms in the air, swaying candle flames, dazzling lights, forming a bright ocean of light, raining down from heaven!

Just as everyone was about to dodge promptly, they heard Chen Lingyun command:

“Deploy the Tidal Division with full force.”

Su Yunjin immediately formed the Taoist Incantation while taking a deep breath, and her True Yuan surged wildly throughout her body.

Her aptitude for cultivation was excellent. Although not as remarkable as Xie Ruoxi, she could still boast of “abundant True Yuan,” otherwise, Yan Yu wouldn’t have directed her on the path of a Magic Cultivator. Usually, her practice was like using a “scalpel,” aiming to use the least True Yuan to fight the biggest battle, so the visual effects were not very noticeable.

Now, hearing the command to “cast with full force” for the first time, she didn’t dare to hold back and immediately urged the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Art with full power. In an instant, the entire hall was overwhelmed with a torrential flood, raging waves, and violent tides, savagely striking towards the descending sea of lamp flames!

Amidst the clash of water and fire, a huge amount of white smoke burst out, carrying water vapor rising, clouds curling around, and still counteracting the forthcoming sea of lamp flames, the lights in the clouds twinkling like a brilliant galaxy, a magnificent spectacle of dueling magical powers!

The audience outside the live broadcast room was amazed, quickly calling their friends to gather and watch, and the recently dropped online viewing numbers climbed once again.

Inside, Su Yunjin’s felt a sinking feeling in her heart, as the power of the vast lamp flames was just too great. Even her full-force Tidal Division was unable to extinguish these lamp flames completely but merely resisted them.

This showed that if those lamp flames were to fall, the scene would be terribly dreadful!

She continued to maintain the output of True Yuan, controlling the tumultuous flood to resist the lamp flames, and secretly took out a pill to restore True Yuan, joining Xie Ruoxi’s team of medicine popping.

Chen Lingyun observed in silence, and seeing that Su Yunjin’s Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Art could hold up the vast lamp flames, she immediately instructed everyone to launch an attack.

Four Flying Swords rose in the air, attacking the demon monk from different directions, aiming to make him overwhelmed from all sides. Yet, the Mysterious High Lamp master was unruffled, continuing to hold the Colored Glaze Lamp in his right hand, gently shaking off candle flames while the left hand tapped against the lamp.

With each tap, a ball of flame would transform from the lamp, taking the shape of dragons, tigers, leopards, elephants, rhinos, crocodiles, and many other fierce beasts in the air. Then, growing larger in the wind, swelling to three or four meters in length, they ignored the various Flying Swords that came attacking and instead, with fierce gestures, rapidly pounced towards Lin Ning and the others.

Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen, seeing this scene, instantly realized that even if they risked letting the Flying Sword approach, they might not be able to kill the wondrous high lamp venerable with one strike (the other party might have other tricks up their sleeve). Instead, if they were bitten by these flame beasts, the outcome would undoubtedly be unpleasant, so they quickly urged the Flying Sword to return to defend.

Only Yan Yu continued to pinch sword techniques with both hands, persisting in driving the Huang Ting and Liang Yi Twin Swords towards the opponent, heedless of the flame beasts charging at him.

The wondrous high lamp venerable suddenly spun the colored glaze lamp, releasing a large swath of condensed Buddha’s Light, which, like silk ribbons, whirled and danced in the air, clashing with the attacking Huang Ting and Liang Yi Twin Swords, causing a clear, metallic jingle.

This colored glaze lamp was versatile in both attack and defense, full of profound mysteries. Faced with the combined efforts of the Zhenhai Team, it revealed not the slightest flaw!

At the training base of the Dragon Soar Team, everyone watching the live broadcast saw the wondrous high lamp venerable standing unmoving, bearing many attacks from the Zhenhai Team without showing any sign of weakness. For a moment, they were all dumbstruck and speechless.

“Wait a second,” Yang Linhui suddenly asked, “Doesn’t the oil lamp that the goalkeeper is holding look a bit like the one Ye Jun got from The Secret Realm of Li Palace?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Jun quickly took out the magic treasure for the whole team to closely observe and compare it with the one in the broadcast.

It wasn’t just similar, it was almost identical.

The only difference was that the lamp in Ye Jun’s hand was extremely old, not only was the glass cover smeared with soot, but the flame within was as thin as flying fireflies, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment.

However, the flame in the lamp held by the monk in the television was exceptionally bright, regardless of how he shook, spun, or struck it, there were no signs of it weakening or going out.

“When activated, my oil lamp treasure can indeed emit a flame, but it can’t transform into the shape of ferocious beasts,” Ye Jun explained to everyone. “Nor can it turn into a sky full of fiery rain falling down; so far, it’s just a regular attack similar to the Flame Curse.”

“It probably just needs to be upgraded,” Ai Lu speculated.

“Upgrade what?” Guo Feiyun asked in stunned disbelief.

“Stop!” Liu Longtao quickly called a halt. “What are you all talking about? Just watch how old Yan deals with it.”

Despite the extreme supernatural powers shown by the wondrous high lamp venerable’s magic treasure on the field, the members of the Dragon Soar Team still firmly believed that Yan Yu could win.

There was no basis, just belief, the kind that relied purely on instinct.

The next second, both Yan Yu and Chen Lingyun made their move simultaneously!

By Chen Lingyun’s side, the Black and White Impermanence moved together, the Soul-hooking Dark Light and Soul Arresting Chain shot out from both sides, aiming at the demon monk.

The wondrous high lamp venerable wore a smile, lightly tapped the lamp shell, and split off two flames to confront them. One shattered the Soul-hooking Dark Light, and the other collided directly with the Soul Arresting Chain, burning quickly along the chain, forcing Black Impermanence to let go and flee into the Prison Banner to narrowly escape disaster.

But Chen Lingyun had already achieved her tactical objective. The enemy had to redirect the flames to deal with her attack, leaving no time to summon more flame beasts.

Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen had already received Chen Lingyun’s instructions and, taking advantage of the momentary ease in battlefield pressure, rapidly fired the Green Bamboo and Yin Wind Twin Swords.

Yet, the wondrous high lamp venerable spun the lamp again, astonishingly drawing out a second ray of thick, dazzling Buddha’s Light, blocking the Twin Swords completely.

“Now’s the time!” Following Chen Lingyun’s command, Zhao Yuanzhen had already brought out the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer.

This magic treasure, while slower than a Flying Sword, possessed a unique attribute: armor breaking.

Whether it was the armor magic treasure of the Chongying samurai, Ye Jun’s Xuan Guang Ruler’s Lamp Blossom Shield, or the demon monk’s Buddha Light silk ribbons, any defensive effect was naturally countered by its special property!

The White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer smashed into the Buddha’s Light, easily piercing through it without hindrance, with unyielding momentum charging towards the wondrous high lamp venerable’s crown, seemingly about to shatter it the next second!

Yet, the opponent still wore an unchanged smile, calmly stretching out a hand as white as jade, catching the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer in his grasp, with Demonic Flame flaring up between his fingers.

Zhao Yuanzhen quickly spurred the magic treasure to break free from the monk’s grasp, but his face suddenly changed, crying out in alarm:

“He’s trying to steal my treasure!”

As the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer belonged to the evil path’s magic treasures, although it was extremely ferocious in battle, it also inherited the evil path’s trait of being easily tempted.

The wondrous high lamp venerable’s True Yuan was substantial and far surpassed Zhao Yuanzhen’s. At that moment, using the “Giant Spirit Palm Divine Skill,” he captured the magic treasure and forcefully poured in True Yuan, attempting to refine it on the spot. If it had been the upright Flying Swords like Huang Ting and Liang Yi, they would rather die than submit, but the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer happily accepted it, not only devouring the energy enthusiastically but even subtly conveying rebellious emotions to Zhao Yuanzhen.

It feels great! It’s too powerful, sorry Master Yuanzhen… I, I can’t go back anymore…

Zhao Yuanzhen’s face turned as red as a liver, feeling as if a bright green hat emblazoned with the word “Cuckold” had descended from above. Suddenly infuriated, he disregarded even the Yin Wind Sword and gritted his teeth, stubbornly sending True Yuan over, determined to snatch back the harlot magic treasure that was the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer.

The wondrous high lamp venerable’s smile grew wider. Relying on the two Buddha Light silk ribbons to fend off the surrounding Flying Sword attacks, his hands with the Demonic Flame had already eroded much of the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer.

Just as he was about to forcefully snatch the treasure, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly glimpsed a golden line swiftly sweeping towards his back.
