Chapter 58
Combat Hall.
Being the source of where the explosion originated from, the damages here were much worse than anywhere else. Injured disciples can be seen everywhere supporting one another. Fortunately, there werent any fatal injuries. To a certain extent, Zongying had already expected this, but she didnt warn the disciples because she thought this was in a way also a form of training. As long as no one died, it was fine.
In an area where only the Elders of the Combat Hall stay, one immortal cave stood out from the rest. It sat on a flat land seemingly untouched by the destruction, but all around it, the ground was deeply hollowed in.
Inside this cave, a black-purple light, the size of a fingernail hovered silently in the air. It flickered like a dying flame, as though a simple change in the wind would blow it out of existence.
But this quickly changed, the light begin to shine with fierce intensity, brightening the inside of the cave like the sun.
It emanated a mysterious aura and numerous particles that were impossible to see with the naked eye were pulled into it. As they accumulated, the light took shape into the form of a black-purple crystalline sphere with mystifying patterns.
It slowly spun in rotation. As it picked up speed, the sphere created a powerful suction that drew in all the True Essence of Heaven and Earth within two hundred kilometers.
Outside the cave, a swirling vortex appeared in the sky, attracting the attention of everyone in the Sect.
What is that?
Someones undergoing Life Destruction!
Wait a minute, isnt that coming from Elder Yueyins cave?
What! But the Dragon Saintesss already at the Eight Life Destruction! No way is attempting to complete the Ninefalls?
Zongying, the Hall Masters, and all the Elders of the Sect quietly watched with serious expressions. Even the Great Ancestor recuperating at the Second Peak was paying attention.
Life Destruction is a realm of life and death. It requires you to commit suicide, to destroy your cultivation and body before reforming both while fighting off the mysterious Rejection of the world.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
The explosion from earlier was caused by Xiao Yueyin detonating her crystal Core. As a result, she was technically dead and the Laws of the universe will prevent her from returning to life. This is called the Rejection.
Back in the cave, the crystalline sphere was still absorbing True Essence. It was taking in such an incredible amount that the Essence in the surrounding area thinned.
A fine thread grew from the Core. It extended to great lengths twisting and turning, weaving itself into a circular cocoon that took up a large amount of room in the cave.
With a thought, she pulled out her signature dark purple dress and clothed herself.
Just as she was about to step outside the cave, her body shuddered, and suddenly became increasingly hot, as though her blood was boiling. She heard a voice speaking in her mind that resounded like thunder. It was in a language that she had never heard of before, but Xiao Yueyin was somehow able to understand it!
Arghhh!!
She clenched her head in pain, dropping to her knees as she listened to the ancient and primal voice.
Unable to control herself, Xiao Yueyins nails turned into sharp claws while pitch-black scales grew from her skin. Razor spikes protruded from her arms and legs and a huge pair of bat-like wings burst out from her back. It folded itself in front of her like a shield!
Her body slowly melded into the void. One second she was near the entrance of the cave, the next, she was outside. Then, she appeared somewhere on an island, then a volcano, and then in the ocean. She was flickering everywhere in the Mortal Desolate World, popping up in one location after another!
Argh!!
The pain in her mind heightened. Xiao Yueyin felt like her head was going to burst!
In her moment of suffering and agony, she closed her eyes and for some reason, an image of a certain figure appeared in her mind.
She suddenly felt a shift, and when she opened her eyes again, the shadow of two people towered above, looking at her with curiosity.
Whered she come from?
Im not too sure oh shit, maybe she was secretly stalking us this whole time. I didn't think she was this kind of person... how disappointing.
Tch, idiot. Like you wouldnt have noticed if that was the case?
Xiao Yueyin was on the verge of passing out. When she heard that familiar voice, she inwardly let out a sigh of relief. But when she heard what he said, she almost wanted to cough a mouthful of blood.
You asshole.
With that, her vision turned dark.
