Chapter 190
“But Ruoshui and Wanqiu are only at the Divine Sea realm, far below my level.”
“Moreover, in the previous battle, the kingdom’s fortune was nearly exhausted. Even if we could use it, it would last no more than a single breath…”
Xiao Minghuang expressed her concerns.
“When I speak of joining forces, I do not mean simply fighting together. Instead, the three of you will connect your auras and share your spiritual energies, with you as the leader, merging the forces of Yin and Yang. It is not merely about jointly executing a certain divine ability.”
“As for whether you can defeat the True Demon within a single breath, I believe that with your intelligence and abilities, Princess, it should be more than enough.”
The Medicine King spoke calmly, delivering these words.
Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang couldn’t help but admire the Medicine King. He was truly a king who had climbed to the peak and fallen into the abyss, a master of life and death.
His composure in the face of impending disaster was something ordinary people could not match.
“Thank you for your guidance, Elder…”
Xiao Minghuang cupped her hands in respect, though she still felt uncertain.
The Medicine King’s talk of Yin-Yang connection and balance sounded like some vague, lofty principle.
…Perhaps only by trying would they know.
As she pondered, she looked at Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu standing beside her and extended her hands to them.
The two women nodded and each placed their jade-like hands in Xiao Minghuang’s.
Afterward, the three of them sat cross-legged on the ground, their hands tightly clasped together.
In an instant, a mysterious and elusive aura emanated from their bodies.
A red and blue colorless spiritual light enveloped them. Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu, possessing yin and yang constitutions respectively, found their spiritual powers complementing each other, merging seamlessly before flowing into Xiao Minghuang’s body.
After some experimentation, the two carefully channeled their innate powers into Xiao Minghuang’s body.
Meanwhile, the spiritual power within Xiao Minghuang’s body, guided by her, slowly gathered at her dantian, forming a vortex that rotated gently.
With the coordination of the three, the flow of innate fire power and innate lunar power accelerated, eventually forming a mystical vortex that spun rapidly.
The three strands of innate power, intertwined in red and blue, coiled around Xiao Minghuang like a giant dragon, finally converging at her lower abdomen, resembling a small sun, radiant and blazing.
“It’s done!”
Beside them, the Medicine King’s face lit up with joy!
What he had proposed was not a new path but a proven method of building a Dao foundation, tested by countless individuals.
A king trapped at the threshold of life and death was just one step away from entering the realm of immortality.
What they needed to do was to visualize the myriad things of heaven and earth, imprinting the Dao within their bodies.
However, the Dao is formless, and ordinary people find it difficult to perceive. Thus, they needed a tangible object to focus on.
Therefore, they had to visualize the divine objects of heaven and earth.
And the most supreme of these divine objects were those related to yin, yang, and the five elements.
These were the divine objects that directly pointed to the essence of the Dao!
The reason he had been unable to build his Dao foundation back then was the lack of a suitable divine object to visualize.
But Princess Xiao was born with a pure yang fire constitution, and her two companions, one with an innate fire constitution and the other with an innate lunar constitution, meant that the path to building a Dao foundation was smooth and unobstructed!
Once she crossed the threshold of life and death, she could easily build her Dao foundation and achieve sainthood!
What they were doing now was essentially a rehearsal for building the Dao foundation.
Because it resembled the Dao, the power they could unleash was nearly akin to the Dao itself. Even if the true demon’s strength was formidable, under the influence of the Heavenly Dao of the Eastern Pole, it could not be an enemy to Xiao Minghuang!
Unless the true demon’s power had grown so strong that it was no longer affected by the Dao of this realm and could act independently.
“Did it work?”
Lin Wanqiu opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Minghuang, asking.
Xiao Minghuang’s face showed a look of relief.
“It worked.”
Just now, the innate powers within their three bodies had flowed seamlessly and, under her control, briefly merged.
Although the fusion lasted only a single breath, it was enough.
She could faintly sense that even though the energy was only the size of a fist, the power it could unleash was likely enough to obliterate a mountain range spanning thousands of miles!
Such power was sufficient to annihilate the true demon!
“This is wonderful, truly wonderful.”
“We are saved!”
“Long live Princess Xiao!”
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with joy.
It was around this time.
In the distant sky, heavy crimson-black clouds drifted in, dyeing the entire heavens in an eerie blood-red hue!
“The true demon is coming!”
“Everyone, prepare yourselves!”
At the moment the blood cloud appeared, everyone’s faces turned pale, their expressions grave.
Sure enough, from within that dark cloud came an enraged roar: “Lowly ants, you escaped earlier, but now I shall offer the lives of a million as a blood sacrifice to the Holy Demon!”
Hearing that roar filled with overwhelming malevolence, everyone present trembled, a chill running down their spines.
Even some cultivators at the Divine Sea stage couldn’t help but shiver upon hearing that roar.
“This is bad, we need to flee!”
“This True Demon is too terrifying!”
Some were so frightened they were on the verge of running away.
“With Princess Xiao here, what is there to fear?”
“A True Demon at the Nascent Soul stage is beyond human strength to contend with…”
Some were so terrified their legs shook uncontrollably.
However, Xiao Minghuang remained calm and composed, her gaze steady as she looked up at the sky and declared firmly:
“True Demon, do not be so arrogant. This place is the Great Xia!”
“Today, I shall slay you!”
Her clear voice, carrying an unparalleled domineering aura, echoed across the void.
“Hmph, a mere ant dares to speak such bold words!”
“When the Holy Demon descends, this land shall turn into demonic soil, and all of you shall become demon soldiers!”
As soon as the words fell, the True Demon emerged from the blood cloud. He was a young man with fiery red hair, his face fierce and cruel.
A terrifying pressure radiated from his body, sweeping over the entire city like a tidal wave. The cultivators present felt their hearts constrict, their breathing becoming heavy.
“Activate the Nation-Protecting Array!”
Xiao Hanbing soared into the air and shouted.
Instantly, the cultivators in the city felt a chill in their hearts.
At Xiao Hanbing’s command, the Nation-Protecting Array in the city activated instantly, golden light shining brightly.
Boom…
In an instant, countless extraordinary golden pillars rose abruptly from the previously calm city walls!
Each thick pillar shimmered with a dazzling light.
On the pillars were carved intricate and complex runes, with ancient talismans flowing with an archaic aura.
Countless golden pillars densely interwove, forming a light barrier like an impenetrable fortress, shielding the entire capital of Great Xia.
The True Demon sneered silently, raising his hand. In the sky, rolling waves of blood churned and flowed into his body.
In that instant, his aura rose yet another level.
