Chapter 672 - 107: Grief! Turning Flames into Armor (14th Update)
Rumble——!
With a loud noise, the giant hand imbued with the Power of Laws finally vanished, and the sky above Cold Inch cleared once more.
"Yuanyuan..." Mu Qingge’s body slowly descended from the air as the binding force disappeared. The flames burning mid-air gradually shrank, transforming into the form of Yuanyuan, who flew towards Mu Qingge.
In his beautiful eyes, his expression was dim, and his face looked ghastly.
Under his fair skin, it seemed as if flames were burning, causing tiny cracks to appear in his skin. Never had Mu Qingge sensed such a weak aura from Yuanyuan, not even when he was still in the egg.
"Want to save him? Not that easy!" Mu Tianyin’s cold and ferocious voice rang out again.
A strong energy surged towards Mu Qingge once more.
The spiritual pressure within it trapped her, as if she had sunk into mud.
"You damn it! You wanna die?" Hou roared and charged at Mu Tianyin.
However, before he reached him, the Golden Realm Sixth Layer expert, whom he had beaten into a wreck, rushed over and tightly hugged him, his body swelling like a balloon.
"You want to self-destruct!" Hou’s eyes flashed with fierce intent.
He quickly glanced at Mu Qingge, lifted the one trying to self-destruct to stop him, and swiftly moved away.
If he detonated here, Mu Qingge would be caught in a pincer attack and inevitably die!
"Hahaha——!" Mu Tianyin’s mad laughter echoed in the sky.
His attack once again pursued them, now closing in behind Yuanyuan.
At this moment, Yuanyuan fell into Mu Qingge’s arms, wrapping his arms around her neck.
Mu Qingge’s heart was filled with pain, and she whispered in his ear, "Yuanyuan, don’t be afraid."
Yuanyuan leaned on her shoulder, smiling, "How could I be afraid? I said I’d protect Mom, and I won’t break my promise. Mom, I did it; I will always, always protect you..."
"Yuanyuan, what are you doing? Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan..." Panic surged in Mu Qingge’s heart as her hands were restored but couldn’t break free from the restraint.
Too weak! She was too weak!
Never had Mu Qingge hated herself for her lack of cultivation as much as she did now.
Yuanyuan calmly closed his eyes, a faint smile still on his lips.
Boom——!
Searing flames burst forth on Mu Qingge’s body.
Yuanyuan transformed into flames but wrapped around Mu Qingge’s body, gradually congealing into a stunning armor. Dark gold etched mysterious totems, resembling countless flames.
Just as the armor solidified, Mu Tianyin’s attack struck it viciously.
Yet, the attack that exceeded the power of the Golden Realm Sixth Layer was absorbed by the alluring armor, like a stone dropped into the ocean, vanishing without a trace. Mu Qingge didn’t even feel a shock.
Thud!
Mu Qingge’s body hit the ground heavily, but thanks to the armor, she remained unharmed.
"What is this!" This scene made Mu Tianyin’s eyes widen in shock.
Not only was he shocked, but Jiang Li and the others were astonished as well.
Yuanyuan...
Yuanyuan had actually used his last bit of consciousness to condense the Abnormal Fire into armor to protect Mu Qingge forever!
Suddenly, a wave of sorrow and heartache enveloped everyone on Mu Qingge’s side.
Rumble——!
Another loud explosion rang out in Cold Inch.
However, the explosion was faraway, distant enough for them to only hear the sound and feel the ground shake.
Grief spread in Mu Qingge’s heart.
She stood up from the ground, her clear eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Mu Tianyin.
Never had she hated someone so intensely, wishing to tear him apart piece by piece, to lash his soul in retribution for Yuanyuan.
Those eyes, filled with hatred but appearing dead and lifeless, were seen by Jiang Li, causing intense heartache. "Qingge..."
Mu Tianyin’s face was equally ashen, having used a spell forcibly, now suffering backlash, with half his body swollen and veins bulging beneath his skin, one side of his face appearing as if worms crawled beneath, grotesque.
The remaining Power of Laws he had forcibly used piled up within him, relentlessly assaulting his body.
"Pff!"
Unable to suppress it, he spat blood, and his meridians were severely damaged.
He must return to the Divine Demon Continent quickly; otherwise, he might suffer even more severe backlash.
Mu Qingge’s eyes, steady and serene, looked at him, yet causing a chill in his heart.
No! How could there be a chill? How could he be threatened by such an ant?
Mu Tianyin’s gaze met Mu Qingge’s, cold and fierce, unwilling to believe the impact from her gaze.
’Mengmeng, can you open the space?’ Mu Qingge calmly asked in her mind.
After a short pause, Mengmeng answered softly, sobbing, ’Yes, it can be opened.’
’Good, elevate my cultivation as much as possible, as high as it can go,’ Mu Qingge suddenly said to her.
Mengmeng was taken aback and exclaimed, ’Master, do you know the price of forcibly elevating your cultivation? If you want to hide people in the space, the Golden Realm First Layer is sufficient.’
’There’s no need to talk to me about costs, you just need to do as I say,’ Mu Qingge said to Mengmeng.
’No way! Elevating the Young Master’s cultivation to the highest level requires burning the Young Master’s lifespan! I can’t do that!’ Mengmeng refused.
Yet Mu Qingge replied with a deceptively calm voice, ’Mengmeng, Yuanyuan is dead. Should I avenge him?’ Today, if she lets Mu Tianyin go, when will she be able to go to the Divine Demon Continent to seek revenge?
Mengmeng fell silent, and faint sobs reached Mu Qingge’s ears.
This stifled crying wrenched her heart like a knife, and the pain swirling around her heart desperately needed to be vented.
’Mengmeng, don’t cry. I won’t die! I absolutely won’t die!’ Mu Qingge assured Mengmeng. Her life was exchanged by Yuanyuan, she would not go to her death lightly.
Even if she loses her lifespan, she can compensate later with realm breakthroughs and elixirs. It’s not a concern!
Under her reassurance, Mengmeng finally compromised, burning Mu Qingge’s lifespan to elevate her cultivation.
"What does Qingge want to do!" Jiang Li saw Mu Qingge standing there silently, and exclaimed in shock.
But her battle here was not yet over.
"Miss Jiang, quickly check on the Young Master, we have things covered here," Mu Chen blocked the attack from the Golden Realm Sixth Layer expert and spoke to Jiang Li.
"Hmm? You have things covered? The armor on both of you is already unable to withstand attacks, I’ll send you to die now!" The Golden Realm Sixth Layer man arrogantly said to Mu Chen and the others.
Jiang Li turned her gaze to Mu Chen and Mu Peng, who were fighting valiantly.
Yet, she was more worried about Mu Qingge.
Gnashing her teeth, she withdrew from the battle and ran towards Mu Qingge.
Suddenly, a formidable force erupted from Mu Qingge’s body. Her cultivation suddenly soared—
Silver Realm Third Layer!
Silver Realm Fourth Layer!
Silver Realm Fifth Layer!
Silver Realm Sixth Layer!
...Golden Realm!
Golden Realm First Layer!
Golden Realm Second Layer!
Golden Realm Third Layer!
Golden Realm Fourth Layer!
Mu Qingge’s aura continued to approach Mu Tianyin, the hairband holding her hair together directly smashed by the aura, letting her hair tumble down, covering half of her face, yet making her beauty even more androgynous.
Holding the Exquisite Silver Spear, clad in Flame Armor, her ink-black hair flapping in the snowy field with the wind, Mu Qingge at this moment was like a War God, her aura formidable, her gaze fierce on Mu Tianyin.
"Qingge..." Jiang Li’s approaching steps slowly halted.
She didn’t know why Mu Qingge’s cultivation would suddenly explode to such intensity, but she could guess that obtaining such power must have required an unimaginable price.
’Young Master, it can only be elevated to Golden Realm Fourth Layer now! Your current lifespan has burned to only ten years left,’ Mengmeng sounded in Mu Qingge’s mind.
’Golden Realm Fourth Layer, that’s enough,’ Mu Qingge murmured.
She turned her head, looking towards Jiang Li and the three others.
Suddenly, whether it was Jiang Li who was closer to her, or Mu Chen and Mu Peng who were in combat, all suddenly vanished, unable to sense even the slightest breath.
This scene baffled Mu Tianyin. His cold and vicious eyes remarked, "Space? A space that can accommodate life!" He contemplated with a smirk, "It appears you’ve hid the Divine Strategy within the space."
Mu Qingge didn’t respond at all, just coldly stared at him.
Mu Tianyin sneered, "Using secret techniques to enhance cultivation? I just wonder how long this cultivated power can last!"
Mu Qingge’s gaze sank, and she looked at him coldly: "Prepare to die!"
Saying that, she raised the Linglong Spear, charging towards Mu Tianyin.
This time, surrounding her was no longer silver Spiritual Power, but pure golden Spiritual Power, almost indistinguishable from that swirling around Mu Tianyin.
Mu Tianyin’s gaze sank, forcibly suppressing the backlash within, raising his Heavy Sword to engage in combat with Mu Qingge.
Just as they clashed, Hou returned out of breath.
When he saw Mu Qingge battling with Mu Tianyin, he paused for a moment. Seeing her brand new, brilliantly beautiful Battle Armor, and her golden Spiritual Power, he instantly understood what transpired in his brief absence.
He glanced around, fixing his gaze on the opponent Mu Chen faced earlier.
That person at the moment also wore a baffled expression, as during the fight, his opponent vanished suddenly. Before he could gather his thoughts, he discovered that the Hou, whom his companions wanted to dispose of by self-destructing, not only lived, but now was glaring at him with ruthless eyes.
Instantly, his expression changed, and a feeling of wanting to flee seeped from his heart.
Though the Young Master said Hou now is also Golden Realm Sixth Layer, nothing to fear, yet both companions died by his hand, claiming they’re not afraid would be false!
Thinking this, the person wanted to flee.
However, how could Hou let him have his way?
The anger in Hou’s heart was not yet fully vented; all those who provoked him, must die!
Hou sneered, instantly appearing before him, blocking his escape route. "Where do you think you’re going?"
"I... I..." The person’s eyes widened at the suddenly appearing Hou, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, he suddenly launched a sneak attack.
Hou sneered, directly engaging in combat with him.
He must resolve this person before Mu Qingge’s enhanced cultivation fades, so he can focus on dealing with the remaining bastard!
