An Lin suddenly recalled that there was a pocket by his waist.

Within which was a silver ball, which in turn housed a small fairy.

He did not get a response when he called out Tina's name, but the cracking sound did not stop. Something amazing was clearly about to happen.

The clothes by An Lin's waist suddenly exploded with a dull thump.

And something amazing really did happen.

Everyone looked down at An Lin's waist with dumbstruck expressions.

A silver ball was floating there while emanating a scintillating light.

"What's that?" Merlin's eyes widened in shock.

"Master laid an egg! Is this a method of reproduction in the face of impending doom?!" Cassidy's eyes were wide open in shock.

"Humans are mammals, not oviparous creatures, thank you." An Lin provided this piece of general knowledge to Cassidy in an earnest voice.

A final crack sounded, and the silver ball finally cracked open as its shards fell to the ground below.

An extremely beautiful figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

She wore a white dress, and her skin was soft and translucent. Her semi-transparent wings left specks of golden light in the air, and her eyes were like sparkling emeralds. Her nose and ears were both quite pointy. Along with her pink, supple lips as well as her exquisite figure, her body could be called the epitome of perfection.

Cassidy and Merlin were both dumbstruck. Even An Lin himself was completely dumbfounded.

An Lin was dumbfounded not because he had never seen Tina before, but because he had never seen such a large version of Tina!

After growing almost ten times her original size, Tina was now close to twenty centimeters tall, which meant he would no longer be able to hold her in one palm!

"Is this Master's daughter? So pretty!" Merlin exclaimed.

"This must be Master's daughter with a fairy goddess. Master's genetics aren't enough to give birth to such a perfect fairy. Her mother must be quite beautiful," Cassidy added while analyzing Tina with a serious expression.

An Lin wanted to hit someone after hearing this.

Tina blinked her emerald eyes blankly as she stared at An Lin. "Huh? Did you shrink, Giant An Lin?"

An Lin: "I haven't shrunk, stupid child. You've grown bigger!"

Tina needed a reference point to verify An Lin's claim.

She turned to look around her before her eyes fell upon Xue Zhantian. Xue Zhantian had seemed like a massive snowball in the past, but she suddenly found that they were about the same size now!

Tina exclaimed in disbelief. "I… I grew bigger!"

"You didn't lie to me, Giant An Lin, we really can grow bigger over time!" A joyful smile appeared on Tina's face as she flew toward An Lin before giving him a big hug.

This time, it was no longer a mosquito splat hug.

Tina encircled her slender arms around An Lin's neck, and her little head bumped into something a little hard with a light thump.

An Lin coughed while his Adam's apple was throbbing with pain!

"Cough… I'm a very honest person so of course I wouldn't lie to Little Na… By the way, how come your dress grew as well?" he inquired in a gentle voice.

"I don't know. Oh right, Giant An Lin, you told me you'd give me all my stuff when I grow bigger. Can I have them now?" Tina released An Lin as she rubbed her forehead while grinning widely.

"No, it's still too early now. You have to be as big as me to be considered fully grown-up," An Lin replied sincerely.

Tina nodded her head with a hint of disappointment. "Oh…"

Just as the two of them were conversing with one another, the sharp tube protruding from the black branches suddenly stabbed down toward An Lin's heart.

A white light imbued with boundless holy might flashed past, instantly reducing the branch to dust.

The white light flashed through the air, leaving a series of spatial cracks in its wake, all of which were emanating a chaotic power.

Tina retracted her palm with a cold expression. "Don't even think about hurting Giant An Lin with me here!"

An Lin and the others drew a collective sharp intake of breath upon seeing this.

Shock, joy, hope… Countless emotions bunched together before manifesting itself into two words—so cool!

"Tina, have you successfully broken through to Return to Void Stage?" An Lin asked with an ecstatic expression.

"Er… I do feel like my cultivation base is indeed higher than before, but what rank is above holy rank?" Tina pondered to herself.

"Call it the great holy rank! You'll be Sky-Crushing Great Holy Fairy!" Xue Zhantian's eyes lit up as he yelled out a suggestion.

An Lin: "What the hell do you have against the sky anyway?"

He paused momentarily before answering Tina's question, "Just use our ranking system from now on. After all, cultivation bases are just arbitrary terms anyway. Take myself as an example, everyone else has a domain at the Soul Formation Stage, and I have nothing, but I'm still referred to as a Soul Formation Stage cultivator! So you'll be a Return to Void Stage mighty figure from now on, understood?"

Tina blinked her emerald eyes. "Is that the case?"

Cassidy and Merlin also chimed in with shocked expressions, "Is that the case?"

Whoosh!

A sharp tube suddenly stabbed down toward Xue Zhantian's mouth!

Tina didn't even look in his direction as she extended a palm toward the black tube. A flash of white light streaked through the air in a destructive trajectory, instantly pulverizing the tree branch!

An Lin came to his senses and changed the topic. "Let's talk about this another time. Free us from these branches first."

"Ok." Tina nodded with a smile.

Outside the black tower, all the crimson-veined patterns were in place. The stars in the sky began to dim as a separate space slowly took shape.

The blue dresses of the two snow maidens standing before the stocky old man had already been completely stained by blood, and a series of grievous wounds could be seen on their bodies.

"The alternate realm has been constructed. It is now time to initiate the life transference ritual, so I'm afraid I no longer have time to waste with the likes of you two." The stocky old man placed his hands on the strings of his guqin as an aura as vast as the sea began to emanate from his body.

Su Jingxiang and Yan Hua were both completely filled with despair. There was simply too much of a power gap. If they hadn't used up all their trump cards, they would've died a long time ago.

However… even after using all their trump cards, they were still unable to escape. All they managed to achieve was to delay their inevitable deaths…

Another sharp screech erupted in the air as a pink energy arrow flew through the air in a dazzling trajectory before crashing into the invisible barrier of the black tower at extreme speed.

Boom!

The arrow struck the barrier before exploding in a dazzling explosion of light.

Liu Chuchu gritted her teeth as she steeled herself to slit open her wrists and offer her blood as a sacrifice to unleash a mystic technique. However, her sharp eyes suddenly faltered as an astonished expression appeared on her face.

Tina destroyed all the black branches that were binding An Lin and the others before turning toward the white fragment with a curious expression on her face. "Huh? What's this, Giant An Lin? It's so pretty!"

She extended her hand toward the fragment to try and hold it.

"Little Na! Don't touch that! There's a certain ritual going on at the moment, so it's very dangerous!" An Lin immediately yelled.

Tina's hand faltered from fright when she was only an inch away from the fragment of the realm core.

An Lin heaved a sigh of relief. Touching things like that could result in a backlash from the spell formation, which could, in turn, result in injuries, or even becoming the sacrificial subject of the ritual.

However, right at this moment, the fragment of the realm core suddenly began to tremble.

Whoosh!

The white fragment suddenly flashed before directly merging into Tina's body.

Everything happened in a split second, so no one had any time to react.

The fragment of the realm core fused into Tina's body, and she collapsed to the ground after uttering an agonized moan.

The mighty projection of the Holy Fairy Leader suddenly appeared in Tina's emerald eyes, and it seemed to be reciting something. At the same time, a brilliant white light burst forth from Tina's body.

"Little Na!" An Lin let loose a cry of surprise before charging toward Tina and cradling her in his arms.
