Bubu's fingertips danced, quickly forming a hand seal.
In an instant, the twenty-six strands of Yuan Qi froze in mid-air.
"Condense!"
The Yuan Qi converged, forming a seemingly ordinary dark green sphere.
"Such audacity!"
Bubu frowned. "I haven't come to find you yet, and you've made the first move. If you have the ability, do you dare to show yourself!"
Saying that, Bubu stopped in mid-air, as if waiting for something.
But after a few breaths, the surroundings remained silent, only the wind whistling faintly.
"Heh, are you scared?"
Bubu sneered, then lowered her gaze again to the blood-red lake. "Don't worry, we'll meet sooner or later. I hope you can remain silent then too."
With that, she put the dark green sphere back into her embrace.
But in the very next moment...
Buzz!
A buzzing sound echoed in Bubu's ears!
Before she could react, she fell from the sky!
As she was about to hit the ground, another spatial rift opened, and a figure burst out!
Bubu flashed, stepping precisely on his back, using him as a springboard to land.
"Ah!"
Xiu Long let out a wail. Being stepped on by Bubu and then falling to the ground.
Even those in the Foundation Establishment stage felt pain!
"I say, little ancestor, what are you up to now!"
Xiu Long rubbed his lower back, looking at Bubu with a mournful expression. "You let me out, fine. But why did you have to kick me?
And kick me here! If my Xiu family can't continue its lineage in the future, you and I will be great sinners!"
"Enough, stop the nonsense for now!"
Bubu interrupted him with a frown, quickly saying, "Quick, try it. Can you still use spatial power?"
"How could this not..."
Xiu Long had only uttered four words when he froze instantly.
His spatial power... had failed!
"What's going on?"
Xiu Long hurriedly looked at Bubu. "Where's your spatial power? Can you still use it? Are we trapped here!?"
Bubu didn't answer, a faint smile on her lips.
It seemed that the people of the current era were not as foolish as imagined. They could comprehend the Great Dao of Sentient Beings and grasp a part of spatial power from the Xiu family bloodline.
This little fellow named Di Sha was quite talented.
If he had been born in that era, even if he couldn't become a ruler, becoming a overlord would have been easy.
It was a pity... he was born in the wrong era and walked the wrong path!
Using the Dao of Sentient Beings to slaughter, control, and evolve sentient beings was the greatest taboo of all taboos!
He could not be allowed to live any longer!
"Bubu!"
Seeing Bubu not answering him, Xiu Long became anxious. He rushed in front of her. "Say something, hey! Can we still get out!"
"You want to get out, right?"
Bubu withdrew her thoughts, turned to look at this foolish boy, and said, "Then we need to find someone first."
That same sentence again!
Ever since arriving in this Zhutian Secret Realm, this little ancestor had either been looking for people or things.
But hadn't she already found that person? Why was she looking for someone again?
However, after following her for so long, he knew what to ask and what not to ask. He had only asked one question.
"Who?"
"Yun Ze."
"But didn't you find him earlier?"
"I sent him away. Now I need to find him again."
"...Alright, do we have a general direction now?"
Bubu closed her eyes and sensed. She found that the anchor she had left on Yun Ze could no longer be felt, so she could only shake her head.
Di Sha, he must have stripped away the Great Dao of Space from the entire Zhutian Secret Realm!
Now, without his permission, no one in this space could use or cultivate the Dao of Space!
This sounded simple, but it was as difficult as reaching the heavens!
Di Sha's ability to achieve this already made Bubu see him as an opponent.
It was just that this opponent would soon be eliminated.
"Then how do we find him?"
Xiu Long looked speechless, but he quickly thought of a solution. "I've got it! Let's go find my cousin first. Those from the Demon Cave are professionals, they'll definitely have a way!"
"That's fine too."
Bubu didn't refuse, but she quickly asked the second question. "But where do we find your cousin?"
"That's simple! Wherever there's excitement, we go there!"
Xiu Long shrugged helplessly. "My cousin loves to join in the fun."
Bubu looked around. The surroundings were silent. Forget excitement, there wasn't even a living creature. How could there be any excitement?
She could only look at Xiu Long and say, "If there's excitement, can you attract your cousin over?"
Xiu Long's heart trembled, and he felt a chill down his spine!
He quickly hugged himself, looking at Bubu with a terrified expression. "You... what do you want to do?"
He liked watching excitement too, but he absolutely did not want this excitement to involve himself!
Bubu glanced at him impatiently, saying nothing.
As expected, the intelligent people of the current era were few and far between.
She turned and looked at a mountain not far away, and then...
Boom!
With a buzzing explosion, the mountain began to tremble violently. Rolling lava erupted from the mountain, scattering with thick smoke into the sky!
...
............
"Holy shit! What is that!"
Gu Wudao was the first to see the thick smoke rising in the distance. He swung his long saber, knocking back the beast that was pressing down on him, and gazed into the distance.
That looked like... a volcano!
There were volcanoes in this Zhutian Secret Realm? Why hadn't his master mentioned it before?
No!
This must be some kind of fire-element secret technique! There was a powerful expert over there!
Gu Wudao's eyes lit up. He turned and looked behind him. "Second brother, third brother! Look over here!"
"Already saw it."
Xiu Yun had better eyesight than Gu Wudao. The moment the smoke rose, he had already sensed something was wrong.
He turned to Yun Ze and Tan Chenyu on the east and west sides. "There's movement to the north. When the opportunity arises, we'll break through in that direction!"
"Also! Gu, don't call me second brother!"
"Okay!"
"Got it!"
Yun Ze and Tan Chenyu's voices responded in succession, but Gu Wudao did not reply. He had once again fallen into the swarm of spirit beasts.
Each of them had to deal with nine Foundation Establishment stage spirit beasts, and hundreds of Qi Refining stage spirit beasts providing support. They dared not be distracted!
Especially Yun Ze.
He relied entirely on Zhu Ying to cooperate with Xing Wudao to control his flight, dodging the overwhelming attacks as much as possible. If he absolutely couldn't dodge, he would use the defense of Jian Yun Kai to endure.
But even so, after only fifteen minutes, his Blood Nourishing Pills had been consumed by more than half!
Otherwise, he feared he would have died countless times by now!
These monsters were simply unkillable!
Yun Ze had tried to focus on just one Foundation Establishment stage spirit beast, killing it alive more than ten times. After exhausting its spiritual energy, it had passed on its bloodline inheritance to another of the same race at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
In just a few dozen breaths, a brand new, unharmed Foundation Establishment stage spirit beast appeared!
This meant that this was not a matter of thirty-six Foundation Establishment stage spirit beasts and nearly four thousand Qi Refining stage spirit beasts.
It was four thousand Foundation Establishment stage spirit beasts taking turns!
Kill, they couldn't be killed. Fight, they couldn't win. Everyone could only endure!
Endure until the others completed their Foundation Establishment, and then find another way out!
The north was indeed a direction to go.
If Xiu Yun hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't even have known about this.
"How much longer!"
Gu Wudao finally broke out of the spirit beast swarm again, his roar sounding out. "Second brother, I can't hold on anymore, you..."
Clang!
A whistling sound exploded. A crimson arrow instantly pierced through the head of a spirit beast and continued to penetrate several Qi Refining stage spirit beasts behind it!
"Gu Wudao!"
Xiu Yun's voice was tinged with anger. "If you call me second brother again, this arrow will land on your head!"
In his life, he hated it the most when others called him second brother!
The three of them had sworn brotherhood, and he could accept the title of second brother, but this one he could not!
"Alright, alright, I won't call you that anymore, won't call you that anymore!"
Gu Wudao had only been out for a few seconds before being submerged by spirit beasts again. "Second brother! Big brother! Can you shoot another arrow! I really can't hold on anymore!"
He was the only one among the four who fought spirit beasts in close combat. Facing the attacks of nine spirit beasts of the same realm, he could still protect himself with his saber energy, which could be considered the pride of the contemporary generation of saber cultivators!
However, compared to the other three monsters, he was still slightly inferior.
Yun Ze, let's not even mention him. Although his spiritual artifacts were not luxurious, his sword cultivation was solid.
With the aid of sword techniques, the sharpness of his sword energy was enough to heavily wound Foundation Establishment stage spirit beasts.
Xiu Yun's arrows split the earth!
Eleven crimson-gold arrows continuously flew and circled in the air, preventing the demonic beasts to the south from advancing even half a step, remaining in their original positions.
Those beasts were even beginning to converge towards the east and west sides.
As for Tan Chenyu...
Her side was even more outrageous.
From sword arts to later zither arts, talisman arts, Confucian arts, and even pill arts, she had used them all.
Rather than saying that the group of spirit beasts was constantly advancing after healing their injuries, it was more like they were experimental subjects for Tan Chenyu to test the power of her techniques.
Only Gu Wudao was the most tired, the most miserable, and the least efficient.
The three of them would also go to help him when they had a chance. After confirming that he was still alive under the spirit beasts, they would withdraw to deal with the spirit beasts on their own sides.
However...
They simply couldn't outlast the spirit beasts.
Another two quarters of an hour passed.
Xiu Yun had already begun to shoot with his left hand, Tan Chenyu's hands holding the sword and playing the zither began to tremble, Yun Ze was just mechanically swinging his sword, and Gu Wudao's long saber had been replaced with another one...
They were about to collapse!
"Roar!"
With a roar that exploded in the spirit beast swarm.
A Foundation Establishment stage demonic beast suddenly went berserk, pounced on the Qi Refining stage beasts behind it, and began to gnaw at them!
Everyone's eyes lit up!
Then came the second, third, fourth...
Until all the Foundation Establishment stage spirit beasts stopped advancing and instead turned to pounce on their own kind, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They seemed to have returned to normal?
But in the next moment, an even more bizarre scene occurred!
The first black tiger, after devouring some Qi Refining stage demonic beasts, its body suddenly began to swell and grow, and its aura also began to climb!
Crack!
With a crisp sound, everyone felt a pressure surge towards them!
That was...
Core Formation!?
