But... fifty thousand years?
Jiang Yuechu's brow furrowed slightly.
Her fingers, which had been ready to squander, hung suspended in mid-air.
Although she had an abundance of Dao Cultivation now,
wasn't every bit of it earned through her own hard work?
Jiang Yuechu, oh Jiang Yuechu... how long has it been since you became wealthy?
How can you be so extravagant now!
With a slight thought,
[Fire Dragon Incinerates Heart] activated!
Boom—
The Qi and blood within her body suddenly boiled.
A scorching heat flared within her internal organs, as if they were about to be ignited.
The young girl's face instantly turned deathly pale, her eyes brimming with pain.
It hurts so much... but the moment Fire Dragon Incinerates Heart activated,
an even more violent emotion surged in her mind.
[Reverse Battle] triggered!
The Red Flood Dragon governs intensity, burning blood for power.
The Black Flood Dragon governs slaughter, growing more frenzied as injuries mount.
Under the enhancement of these two Divine Ability talents, the girl's aura climbed steadily.
Rumble—
The surrounding Void Realm distorted, and the ground beneath her feet cracked and crumbled.
The three dragon pearls circling her body hummed and vibrated.
Their brilliance was so intense that it actually outshone the sky above.
Since the buffs are fully stacked,
then... Jiang Yuechu lifted her eyelids and whispered softly.
"Hmm... let's go with ten thousand years then."
Though she needed to be thrifty, the opponent was in the Lamp Lighting Realm after all, and looked quite imposing at the moment.
Toward enemies,
Jiang Yuechu had always been very respectful.
As the Dao Cultivation dissipated,
Buzz—!!!
Heaven and earth suddenly went silent.
An ink-wash painting scroll abruptly unfurled.
The Kan and Li trigrams surged, as water, fire, and thunder converged in harmony.
"Go."
The girl pressed down with one hand.
Boom—!!!
Fire followed the wind's momentum, and the wind bolstered the thunder's might.
A crimson fire dragon roared forth, followed closely by a pitch-black tidal wave, while purple lightning struck down like a world-ending whip.
Li Qianyuan, who had been filled with greed and the desire for Possession just a moment ago, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His slightly crazed eyes instantly cleared for the most part.
This is bad!
Terrified, he tried to turn into green smoke to dodge.
But the Three Calamities were already before his eyes!!!
"Roar—!!!"
The half-man, half-flood dragon monster let out a sky-shaking roar, and the pervasive gray mist instantly solidified.
The green spear in his hand was swung so fast it created an airtight defense, impenetrable as a wall.
However,
in the face of absolute stats,
such methods were nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a carriage.
Boom—!!!
The crimson fire dragon was the first to collide.
The gray mist instantly dissipated by more than half.
Immediately after, the giant wave struck.
Pfft.
Li Qianyuan felt his body grow heavy, as if facing ten thousand great mountains; the spear in his hand could no longer move an inch.
But it wasn't over.
Purple lightning descended like heavenly punishment.
Rumble—
Lightning light exploded.
The half-flood dragon body was instantly swallowed by thunder and fire.
The ground collapsed, and dust rose in all directions.
In the distance,
the Woman transformed from the Golden-Winged Great Peng had already retreated hundreds of yards away.
She was secretly horrified.
Such terrifying foundations.
Such ruthless methods.
Just what kind of Legacy site could have raised such a girl?!
But... "Fortunately, such a Prodigy comes from the Jade Carving Lineage..."
The Woman took a deep breath, calming her thoughts.
With this kind of talent and brilliance,
even if it only takes a hundred years.
No!
Fifty years!
The Jade Carving Lineage will surely flourish in the future!
As the dust gradually cleared, the eerie green firelight flickered out.
In the next instant,
a ghastly green flame suddenly appeared.
Compared to the Woman's excitement,
fear welled up in Li Qianyuan's heart.
Extinguished... it really was extinguished.
His final chance at Lamp Lighting... had actually been forced out by this girl right now!!!
Once the Lamp Lighting ended,
there would be no path forward.
Forget about eternal life; even his current cultivation would completely dissipate, and he would fall back to the mortal realm, becoming a commoner with only a few decades left to live.
He had possessed this grand land, and he had slept with the world's beauties.
He had enjoyed all the riches of the human world and seen the scenery from the mountain peaks.
How could he endure falling back into the mud to become an ant?
No!
He was unwilling!
He was unwilling!!!
He had plotted for half a lifetime, bearing the infamy of ten thousand generations, and had finally reached this step... how could he fall here?!
How could he lose to a mere slip of a girl?!
"Guyue..."
Li Qianyuan's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly ahead.
"Since you possess such natural talent, you should fulfill me!"
"Once I attain longevity, I will naturally build a temple and mold a statue for you, to be honored by the incense of ten thousand generations!"
Boom—!!!
The ghastly green flames suddenly surged three feet high.
At this moment,
he was like a cornered beast.
As long as he could get one bite in,
as long as he could burrow into that perfect shell!
"Kill!!!"
A roar shattered the lingering dust.
The half-man, half-flood dragon monster's body suddenly elongated.
The green spear in his hand spun frantically, creating a piercing whistle.
At the tip of the spear,
a single point of cold light arrived first, followed by a sky full of spear shadows like dragons.
Buzz—
The Void Realm vibrated.
An illusory world unfurled behind Li Qianyuan.
A foul-smelling swamp where countless withered bones floated.
A green flood dragon covered in poisonous sores raised its head from the mud.
As the Inner Scenery manifested,
Li Qianyuan's aura was forcibly heightened by a notch at this moment.
"Dragon Pursuit—"
His body moved with the spear, man and spear becoming one.
The green poisonous flood dragon also lunged out, coiling around the spear shaft.
This spear strike,
named Dragon Pursuit, was in truth a life-taking blow.
The single thrust split into three paths.
Rumble—
The green spear radiance, carrying overwhelming gray mist, instantly tore through the air.
"Roar—!!!"
The three spear glows were like poisonous snakes flicking their tongues,
stabbing toward her brow, throat, and heart respectively.
"Go... die for me!!!"
Li Qianyuan grinned hideously.
He could already almost see himself seizing this body.
However,
at the moment the spear wind whistled,
he suddenly felt an inexplicable, terrifying force coming from his hand.
He looked up in horror.
His gaze pierced through the gray mist exploding from the spear tip.
He saw that on the girl's smooth, full forehead, two majestic jade horns had sprouted at some point.
Her cold, white skin was further suffused with a layer of frigid silver light.
As the silver light flowed, it seemed to possess a glazed charm, pure and stainless.
Mountain Gazing Perfection facing off against a desperate strike from the Lamp Lighting Realm.
If it were anyone else, no matter how much of a Prodigy they were, they would likely avoid the edge and not dare to take it head-on.
But Jiang Yuechu did not retreat.
On what basis?
On the basis of the Great Desolation God Body forged from the Four Perils' transformation.
On the basis of the Silver Bone Glazed Body, the Dragon Transformation Scripture, and the Unbroken Perfection Technique... if it were just these, it might still be a bit taxing.
But now,
with Fire Dragon Incinerates Heart and the Red Flood Dragon's intensity, she was burning essence blood for an ultimate burst.
With the frenzy of Reverse Battle and the Black Flood Dragon's wrath, her combat power became more deranged as her injuries worsened.
Under this kind of terrifying, layered enhancement,
if she couldn't even take this one spear strike,
then Jiang Yuechu might as well just go find a block of tofu to smash her head against and die.
"..."
Jiang Yuechu gripped the spear tip and suddenly said softly, "How about you let go yourself?"
Li Qianyuan roared angrily, "I'm not fucking letting go!"
"Oh..."
Though the words were plain,
they caused Li Qianyuan's heart to seize with terror, and he instinctively tried to pull the spear back and retreat.
It wouldn't budge!
In the next instant,
the girl's right leg suddenly kicked up.
