Chapter 624: Death Battle (Part 2)
Qi Huang used almost all of her spiritual sense, but she could still only see a tiny afterimage. However, this was already enough. With a thought, the wooden box in front of her suddenly shattered, revealing a piece of dry bark. This was a spoils of war she had captured from the Continental Evergreen Convention, the bark of a heavenly punishment realm tree demon. Its owner was none other than Xiao Dian, the Saint Son of the Jingtian Sect.
When Qi Huang went to the Donglai Sect to rescue Yaoyao, she had an epiphany after learning about the entire process. It turned out that humans could also utilize Heavenly Tribulation. Therefore, during the Evergreen Convention, she unceremoniously confiscated this piece of bark.
Qi Huang knew she would need this item sooner or later, so she carefully preserved it in a wooden box. The price was that she had to frequently sprinkle it with Heaven-Concealing Water to hide its aura.
As it turned out, Qi Huang had been prescient, and today was the day she would need it.
As soon as the bark was revealed, terrifying pressure descended from the heavens, even distorting space, as if the Milky Way were pouring down.
At this moment, the source of the Yin Energy was rushing towards Qi Huang. Under this terrifying pressure, she suddenly staggered and fell like a bird with broken wings.
Qi Huang seized this opportunity. The “Boundless Demonic Hair” behind her surged, sweeping towards the source of Yin Energy like a black waterfall, quickly binding it layer by layer.
Qi Huang then grabbed the bark and clung to it, directly sticking it onto the source of Yin Energy. She then tightened it layer by layer with her long hair, binding the two tightly together. Because she had used Heaven-Concealing Water beforehand, she was completely unaffected.
“This is…”
The source of Yin Energy let out a startled voice. Although bound tightly all over, she could still speak, which was exceptionally eerie.
Suppression—her strength was suppressed by seventy to eighty percent. Coupled with the immense binding power of the “Boundless Demonic Hair,” she was unable to break free for the moment.
Qi Huang ignored the pain in her scalp and tightly bound the source of Yin Energy with her long hair, waiting for the Heavenly Tribulation to descend. She knew that her success or failure depended on this.
At the same time, the sky above everyone’s heads began to darken with clouds. They collided and squeezed against each other. With the sound of deafening thunder, bright lightning bolts moved between them.
“Not good, it’s Heavenly Tribulation! It’s Heavenly Tribulation!”
Wang Jun, from a distance, suddenly rushed over in a frenzy. However, his strength was weaker, so he was unable to move after only a few steps and was pinned to the ground. He could only speak with difficulty, reminding, “Miss, that’s Heavenly Tribulation, run quickly!”
Bai Yun, nearby, was also startled by these words. Unfortunately, he was also suppressed by the heavenly might and unable to move, let alone offer any help.
“You want to use Heavenly Tribulation against me? Dream on!”
The source of Yin Energy said in a muffled voice, her body surging with Yin Energy, seeping out from every inch of her skin, attempting to corrode the Boundless Demonic Hair on her body. However, it was completely ineffective.
“How is this possible? Yin Energy can corrode everything!”
“Yes, moreover, Miss’s Yin Energy is so concentrated that even pig iron would melt instantly. Why is it completely ineffective against her hair?”
“That hair looks extremely eerie. It might also be an evil object. We must help Miss!”
“How can we help? Even Brother Wang can’t get close, let alone us.”
The remaining evil spirits were secretly anxious, but due to the suppression of the heavenly might, they could not get close at all.
“Evil hair, you are truly born to be an evil spirit. Die for me!”
The source of Yin Energy remained calm under the suppression of the heavenly might. Her body exuded corpse poison, transforming into green mist and beginning to corrode the Boundless Demonic Hair, but it still had no effect.
Meanwhile, the natural thunder grew louder and the lightning brighter, and it would soon pour down.
“Miss!”
Several evil spirits frantically moved their feet, but before they could take two steps, they were crushed to the ground by the heavenly might and could no longer advance.
“What the hell is this?”
The source of Yin Energy was furious. The bones in her body suddenly spread out, and massive bone spurs broke through her skin, directly piercing through the gaps in the Boundless Demonic Hair, instantly turning her into a terrifying hedgehog.
Then, those sharp bones began to move up and down, like saws cutting the Boundless Demonic Hair!
Although the Boundless Demonic Hair was very tough, the bones of the source of Yin Energy were incomparably sharp. Every cut caused spatial fluctuations, making them invincible and cutting the hair strands one by one.
Seeing that the bark was about to fall, Qi Huang realized something was wrong and condensed all her spiritual sense to suppress the source of Yin Energy.
The source of Yin Energy was already enduring the heavenly might, and now, under the suppression of a heavenly punishment realm spiritual sense, she plummeted towards the ground like a meteor.
“Boom!”
With a terrifying loud noise, the ground was instantly smashed into a large pit with a diameter of several hundred zhang. The entire Pingshan Mass Grave trembled, and several nearby evil spirits were blown away.
“Oh God! Hurry up and strike her dead at this excellent opportunity!”
Qi Huang stared at the large pit and prayed.
A terrifying bolt of lightning tore through the dark heavens and struck towards the source of Yin Energy. From a distance, it looked as if it were splitting the entire world in two.
Qi Huang was greatly alarmed. At such a close distance, she knew she would definitely be affected. So, she used her spiritual sense to create a large shield to protect herself. As for her hair, she dared not withdraw it, because once she did, the source of Yin Energy would shake off the bark.
“What can Heavenly Tribulation do to me?”
The source of Yin Energy roared. The bone spurs on her body shot up into the sky, merging into a giant spear and heading towards the lightning tribulation. The tip of the spear was extremely sharp, even leaving a faint trace on space.
The two collided head-on without any fancy moves!
“Boom!”
With an ear-splitting roar, the space between them was torn open by a large gap, and a terrifying shockwave swept in all directions like a tsunami.
Qi Huang desperately used her spiritual sense to resist the shockwave. Due to excessive consumption, she felt piercing pains deep into her bones in her brain, coupled with the pain of her hair pulling on her scalp, making her life worse than death.
A moment later, the heavenly lightning finally shattered the spear. Although its power was greatly reduced, it still unhesitatingly struck the source of Yin Energy below.
“You like Heavenly Tribulation? Let you taste it too!”
The voice of the evil spirit’s origin came from the large pit. Then, she suddenly began to spin rapidly like a top.
Qi Huang was completely unprepared and was immediately pulled over. She quickly withdrew her long hair, but she was still thrown out by inertia. At this moment, she was completely exhausted and had no ability to control her body.
“I’m dead for sure!” Qi Huang’s heart went cold. Unexpectedly, what happened next was something that had never happened in the night, and it caught everyone off guard. Because she was thrown in the direction of the spatial rift, she fell right into it.
The source of Yin Energy couldn’t bother with Qi Huang. All the Yin Energy in her body surged out, forming a dark shield above her head!
The heavenly lightning then arrived and struck the shield.
“Boom!”
Another earth-shattering roar, and the ground trembled violently. Countless dust particles were thrown hundreds of feet into the sky, like the end of the world. It took a long time for everything to calm down.
At this time, the source of Yin Energy stood at the bottom of the large pit. Her long hair was messy, her clothes were tattered, and her body was covered in dust, with burns of various sizes scattered across it.
The source of Yin Energy had a grim expression. Her body swayed unsteadily as she flew out of the large pit and landed on the edge of the pit. Her eyes scanned her surroundings, trying to find her pets and servants.
On the other side, after falling into the spatial rift, Qi Huang quickly used her spiritual sense to control her body. Then, enduring her dizziness, she looked around. She soon discovered that a hundred zhang below was a land covered in swirling Yin Energy.
Qi Huang dared not look back, nor did she hesitate. So, she gritted her teeth and plunged into the dark, dense forest below.
Qi Huang staggered and steadied herself. As far as she could see, there was a purple ocean, with endless fields of glistening Ghost Tomatoes.
“Am I hallucinating from using too much spiritual sense?”
Qi Huang rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
