From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 278 Immortal Venerable Ruins: Fierce Battle Deep Within Xiao Yao's Realm

Golden energy pulsed in my hand, as vibrant as a heart, ready to burst forth at any moment.

The laughter that came from the darkness was chilling and piercing, like the hiss of a venomous snake, sending shivers down one's spine.

I held my breath, trying to catch the slightest movement.

The air around seemed to freeze, making it suffocating.

In the darkness, I felt countless eyes staring at me, greedy and fierce, like wild beasts ready to devour their prey.

This feeling made the hairs on the back of my head stand on end, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.

"Hehehe... Little girl, do you think you can obtain the inheritance of the Immortal Venerable?" A sharp and piercing voice came from the darkness, as abrasive as the friction of metal.

Immediately afterwards, two figures slowly emerged from the darkness; they were none other than the Blood Fiend Elder and the Netherworld Ghost King!

The Blood Demon Elder was dressed in a blood-red robe, his face as pale as paper, his eyes sunken and gleaming with a sinister light.

He held a blood-red longsword in his hand, with faint blood light flowing across its blade and a nauseating stench of blood.

The Netherworld Ghost King was a cloud of black mist, its face obscured, with only two eerie green ghost flames flickering within it, creating a sinister and terrifying scene.

They've actually joined forces! I was secretly shocked and dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Little girl, obediently hand over the inheritance, and perhaps I can spare your life!" The Netherworld Ghost King's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a call from hell.

"Wishful thinking!" I sneered, and golden light shone brightly in my hand, transforming into a golden blade that slashed fiercely at the Netherworld Ghost King!

At the same time, the Blood Fiend Elder also made a move!

The blood-red sword in his hand sliced ​​through the air with a piercing whistling sound as it thrust towards me!

The speed is astonishing!

I dodged the attack of the blood sword with a flash, and at the same time, the golden blade in my hand slashed at the Netherworld Ghost King.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the golden light collided with the black mist, bursting out with dazzling light!

A powerful shockwave swept through the entire hall, and the surrounding walls began to shake violently!

The Netherworld Ghost King let out a shrill scream, and the black mist churned, indicating that it had suffered considerable damage.

However, he did not back down; instead, he lunged at me even more frantically!

The Blood Fiend Elder launched another attack, his blood sword transforming into streaks of crimson afterimages that surrounded me!

I dared not be negligent and channeled my spiritual power to the fullest extent. The golden light in my hand kept changing, sometimes turning into a sharp blade and sometimes into a shield, as I engaged in a fierce battle with the two of them!

Golden light and blood light intertwined, black mist and spiritual power collided, and the entire hall was transformed into a huge battlefield!

Space continued to distort, the ground continued to crack, and the aftershocks of the battle even reached the dome of the hall, causing countless pieces of rubble to fall!

"Young lady, your strength is not bad, but you're still too green!" the Blood Fiend Elder chuckled sinisterly. "Today, you'll obediently accept your death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Netherworld Ghost King suddenly let out a sharp howl, and the black mist instantly expanded, transforming into a giant ghost claw that fiercely grabbed at me!

I was startled and quickly dodged, but I was still hit by the aftershock of the ghost claw. My body flew backward and crashed heavily into the wall!

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood gushed out, and I felt like all the bones in my body were about to fall apart...

I struggled to my feet, wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, and a fierce glint flashed in my eyes!

"Want to kill me? It's not that easy!"

I took a deep breath, and golden light gathered again in my hand... "It's not over yet..."

I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, and tasted a slightly metallic sweetness on my tongue.

The spiritual energy within my body surged like boiling water, impacting my internal organs.

The Blood Demon Elder and the Netherworld Ghost King stood on the left and right, like two vicious wolves ready to devour their prey, their perfect coordination was breathtaking.

The stench of the Blood Sword and the chilling cold of the Ghost Claw are like a persistent, insidious infection, leaving me exhausted from dealing with them.

"boom!"

Another dull thud, and I felt a heavy blow to my back, as if my internal organs had shifted.

He could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

My vision blurred, and I felt as if I were inside a giant meat grinder, my body being mercilessly crushed.

Their attacks grew increasingly fierce. The Blood Demon Elder's blood sword, accompanied by a piercing shriek, was like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, aimed directly at my throat; while the Netherworld Ghost King's ghost claws were like chains from hell, trying to tear me apart completely.

I tried my best to dodge, my body leaving afterimages in the air, but I still couldn't completely avoid their attacks.

Every collision caused me excruciating pain, and every dodge cost me more spiritual energy.

My wounds multiplied, blood stained my clothes, and my consciousness began to fade.

Is it...

Is this really the end for us?

The feeling of resentment grew wildly in my heart like weeds.

Just when I felt I was about to give up, the meaningful smile of the Azure Lotus Fairy and the ancient magic she had mentioned suddenly flashed through my mind.

“Using Qi to control the spirit, reversing Yin and Yang…” Her words were like a wake-up call, instantly bringing me back to my senses.

I took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the surging spiritual energy within my body, guided it to my dantian, and then circulated it in reverse.

The surrounding spiritual energy, as if drawn by some mysterious force, began to surge wildly into my body.

"Hmm?" The Blood Fiend Elder uttered a puzzled whisper, seemingly noticing my unusual behavior.

I ignored him and continued to circulate the spiritual energy within my body.

A powerful force awakened within me, like a sleeping dragon slowly opening its eyes.

"break!"

I suddenly opened my eyes and let out a low shout.

An invisible wave of energy erupted from my body, sweeping through the entire hall like a tsunami.

The Blood Fiend Elder's blood sword was deflected from its course by the impact of the shockwave.

The Ghost King's claws, as if touched by raging fire, let out a miserable scream and quickly withdrew.

I felt the spiritual energy within my body flowing like a surging river through my meridians, full of explosive power.

Their attack was neutralized, and I took the opportunity to adjust my breathing and try to calm the surging spiritual energy within me.

"What...what's going on?" The Netherworld Ghost King's voice was tinged with fear.

The Blood Fiend Elder's face also turned grim. I could sense their...

"It's not over yet..." I licked my lips, my gaze sharp as I stared intently at them.

I felt the spiritual energy within my body flowing like a surging river through my meridians, full of explosive power.

Their attack was neutralized, and I took the opportunity to adjust my breathing and try to calm the surging spiritual energy within me.

The Blood Fiend Elder's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with anger, as if he was unwilling to be so easily controlled.

Within the Netherworld Ghost King's black mist, the two eerie green ghost flames shone even brighter, exuding a hint of murderous intent (SM has multiple meanings; here, based on the context, it is inferred to be murder).

I know in my heart that they will not give up easily, but I will not give them any chance.

I took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy within my body converged like a river, transforming into a powerful vortex.

I crossed my hands and chanted an ancient incantation: "Use Qi to control the spirit, reverse Yin and Yang!" As the incantation ended, an invisible wave of energy burst forth from my body, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the voice of the United States (USA) echoed in the hall, shaking the walls.

I leaped forward, and the golden light in my hand transformed into a massive pillar of light that pierced straight into the Blood Demon Elder's chest.

The golden and blood-red light of the Blood Fiend Elder converged in the air, unleashing a deafening roar that tore apart the surrounding space.

Seeing this, the Netherworld Ghost King was not to be outdone. Black mist churned and transformed into countless ghost claws, attacking me from all directions.

I felt a chill run down my spine, but I wasn't afraid. The golden light in my hand instantly transformed into a shield of light, blocking the attack of the ghost claw.

The light shield collided with the ghost claw, producing a piercing friction sound, and a scorching smell filled the air.

When the Blood Fiend Elder and the Netherworld Ghost King saw how powerful I was, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.

Although they were unwilling, they knew they couldn't keep dragging it out.

The Blood Demon Elder held the Blood Sword and chanted an incantation. The blood light surging on the Blood Sword grew more and more intense, eventually condensing into a huge blood dragon that coiled above his head.

The black mist surrounding the Netherworld Ghost King grew increasingly dense, transforming into a gigantic ghostly figure. The ghostly figure's eyes gleamed with an eerie green light, making it both strange and terrifying.

"Blood Dragon Devours Soul!" the Blood Fiend Elder roared, and the Blood Dragon roared as it pounced towards me.

"Ghostly Devouring!" The Netherworld Ghost King followed closely behind, the ghostly shadow transforming into a giant net, attempting to completely envelop me.

I took a deep breath, my resolve unwavering.

At that moment, I felt as if I had merged with the spiritual energy around me, and the spiritual power in my body erupted once again, transforming into a huge golden pillar of light that completely enveloped me.

Golden light clashed violently with blood-red and black light in the air, causing the entire space to tremble.

"Break!" I shouted, and golden light burst forth, shattering the blood dragon and the ghostly shadow into pieces.

The attacks of the Blood Fiend Elder and the Netherworld Ghost King were neutralized, and they were sent flying backward in a sorry state, spitting out blood.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I leaped forward again, and the golden light in my hand transformed into a huge golden longsword, piercing straight for the Blood Demon Elder's throat.

@；

The Blood Fiend Elder and the Netherworld Ghost King also let out a miserable scream, and the black mist transformed into a black barrier, attempting to block my attack.

But it was all too late.

My golden longsword pierced through the air, carrying unparalleled power, knocking away the Blood Fiend Elder's blood sword and heading straight for his heart.

The Netherworld Ghost King's black mist was also dispersed, exposing his body to my attack range.

Just as I was about to kill my enemy with one blow, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Blood Fiend Elder and the Netherworld Ghost King.

They whispered simultaneously, their voices deep yet powerful: "Ghostly Blood Sacrifice, become one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bodies of the Blood Fiend Elder and the Netherworld Ghost King suddenly merged, transforming into a ball of black and white light that lunged at me.

I felt a chill run down my spine, but I did not back down.

The golden longsword in his hand instantly transformed into countless points of light, completely enveloping the ball of light.

"Today, you will all die here!" I shouted, and the light points in my hand instantly converged, forming a huge golden sphere that completely enveloped the black and white light.

Golden light and black and white light collided violently in the air, making the entire hall seem to shake and the ground tremble.

At that very moment, a familiar voice came from afar: "Xiao Yao, be careful!"

A chill ran through me, but it was too late.

The black and white light suddenly erupted with a powerful force, completely blasting me away.

I felt like a falling leaf, tumbling uncontrollably through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Cough..." I coughed up a mouthful of blood, struggling to sit up, but my heart was filled with endless fighting spirit.

"It's not over yet..." I licked the blood from the corner of my mouth, my gaze sharp as I stared intently at the black and white light.

From within that ball of black and white light came the maniacal laughter of the Blood Fiend Elder and the Netherworld Ghost King: "Little girl, do you think you can defeat us?"

Before they finished speaking, the golden orb in my hand condensed again, and an indomitable flame ignited in my heart.

Golden light burst forth, and black and white light scattered across the ground like shattered mirrors.

The figures of the Blood Fiend Elder and the Netherworld Ghost King separated again, both with pale faces and bloodstains at the corners of their mouths.

The Blood Demon Elder clutched his chest, coughing violently. The black mist surrounding the Netherworld Ghost King had also thinned considerably, and the ghost fire flickered erratically, as if it might go out at any moment.

I slowly stood up. The pain in my body was still intense, but my fighting spirit was even stronger.

I felt a powerful force surging within me, the power inherited from the Immortal Venerable!

I clenched my fist, feeling the surge of power, and I knew I had won!

"Impossible... How could you..." The Blood Fiend Elder stared at me in disbelief.

The Netherworld Ghost King let out a mournful roar, and the black mist churned, trying to coalesce again, but it was powerless to reverse the situation.

I stared at them coldly, saying nothing, but slowly raised my hand. Golden light condensed in my palm, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

"It's over," I said softly.

The golden light exploded, completely engulfing the Blood Fiend Elder and the Netherworld Ghost King.

Their figures gradually disappeared in the golden light, eventually turning into nothingness.

I stood there, panting, a sense of triumphant joy welling up inside me.

A faint smell of blood permeated the air, but there was an atmosphere of glory even more so.

I won! I defeated the powerful enemy and obtained the Immortal Venerable's inheritance!

I continued walking forward, and the depths of the ruins were silent, with only the sound of my footsteps echoing.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a huge stone gate appeared ahead, covered with ancient runes and radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

I reached out and gently touched the runes on the stone gate. A powerful force rebounded instantly, knocking me back several steps.

I was shocked; this restriction was even more powerful than I had imagined!

I took a deep breath, stared intently at the stone gate before me, and felt a strong desire to challenge it rise within me.

"Let me see just how strong you really are!" I said in a low voice, and golden light gathered in my hand once more...
