Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 116 Annihilating the Nightmare Demon Akari

Xingbai moved the people out of the small stone cave. Before they even got close, they heard Xingbai's anxious voice: "Hanhan, there are cultivators from your Wuhua Sect in here! They have lost too much blood and their foundations have been damaged. I'm afraid their future cultivation path will become extremely difficult!"

Gu Shihan's heart tightened upon hearing this. What she saw was that several disciples of the Five Flowers Sect were as pale as paper and had weak breaths, clearly indicating that they were seriously injured.

Gu Shihan sighed and silently took out blood-replenishing pills to feed each of the injured.

Shi Qinghan, who was standing nearby, helped him by gently lifting the injured man up so that he could swallow the medicine smoothly.

Time passed second by second, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all the survivors were fed the pills and then waved to be sent to another Qiankun House for proper care.

On the other side, Yu Tong and Long Teng had also brought the situation under control.

Everyone looked solemnly at the bodies of the cultivators who had lost their lives on the ground, a trace of grief flashing in their eyes.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Yu Tong conjured a blazing flame that enveloped the remains of these cultivators.

Flames rose up and quickly turned everything to ashes.

Gu Shihan walked to the edge of the dried-up blood pool, her gaze falling on the bottom of the pool.

A faint light shimmered at the bottom of the pool, revealing a pattern resembling a teleportation array.

Overjoyed, she quickly called out to Shi Qinghan, who was not far away, "Big brother, come and take a look! Is this a one-time teleportation array?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qinghan quickly walked over and carefully examined the mysterious spot at the bottom of the pool. He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Hmm... it does look somewhat like it, but I'm not sure. After all, this kind of thing is not common."

After a moment's thought, Gu Shihan decisively replied, "Regardless, let's go take a look. There are no other clues to investigate here anyway, and if we miss this opportunity, we might regret it later!"

Shi Qinghan nodded in agreement: "Alright, then we'll do as you say, sister. But we don't know if this teleportation array is safe, so we have to be careful."

The two quickly put Yu Tong and Long Teng into their spatial storage. Gu Shihan picked up Xing Bai, took a deep breath, and stepped into the teleportation array with Shi Qinghan.

As soon as they entered the teleportation array, they felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over them, and the scene before them instantly became blurry.

It felt like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a short moment. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in another unfamiliar place.

This is a huge stone cave, dimly lit inside, with a somewhat eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

The surrounding stone walls were uneven and looked very rough.

The entire cave felt very empty; apart from a stone platform in the center, there were almost no other objects in sight.

On that stone platform, there was a huge black coffin, with black light constantly flowing around it, seemingly providing nourishment to the coffin.

The coffin was enormous and exuded a chilling aura. Even more strangely, it was shrouded in a powerful sealing formation, preventing it from moving an inch from the stone platform.

Just then, a soft knocking sound suddenly came from the giant black coffin. "Thump, thump, thump..."

Although the sound was not loud, it was exceptionally clear in the silent cave.

Shi Qinghan's expression changed, and he stared intently at the black stone coffin. At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Gu Shihan, "Little sister, did you hear that sound?"

"Hmm, I heard that. This stone coffin is sealed. Could it be the sealed Nightmare Demon Akari? Could we be so lucky as to have found it already?!"

Gu Shihan was about to go over to check when Xingbai stopped her, saying, "Hanhan, hide well, someone's coming!"

The two quickly retreated from the stone coffin, and Xingbai used her binding power to protect them.

Not long after, two figures slowly emerged from the only passage in the stone cave.

The two people were a man and a woman. The man was tall and imposing, exuding a chilling aura; the woman was graceful and beautiful, with a touch of allure.

"Hanhan, these are none other than the Lord of the Soul Palace and the mysterious woman called Mei'er," Xingbai introduced.

The two walked lightly to the stone platform, one on the left and one on the right, and then began to make complex and strange hand gestures.

As their gestures changed, the sealing formation that had been covering the stone platform suddenly flashed with a strange light. Then, the light disappeared in a flash, revealing two gaps of the same size.

Without hesitation, they stepped through the gap and headed straight for the huge stone coffin placed in the center.

After the man arrived at the stone coffin, he first carefully walked around it, as if he was observing something.

A hint of relief appeared on his face. He stretched out a hand and gently tapped the surface of the stone coffin a few times, producing a crisp sound.

The man continued muttering to himself, "My lord! I am full of confidence for this operation. I believe it won't be long before you successfully break free from this place and regain your freedom! Rest and recuperate here. The stronger you are when you awaken, the greater our overall strength will be!"

Mei'er, standing on the other side of the stone coffin, did something unexpected.

She suddenly pounced on the stone coffin, her right index finger plunging directly into the hard stone, as if she were trying to extract something extremely important.

Mei'er's exquisite face was filled with a look of satisfaction and smugness. She narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered to herself, "Hmph, what so-called master! From now on, everything you have will be taken over by me! Akari, you'd better never wake up, because it would be perfect if I could use your power!"
Actually, whether you wake up or not is no longer important to me. After all, from this moment on, I am you, and you are me. From now on, there will be no more Akari in this world, only me, Mei'er!
"Oh dear, please don't be angry! The angrier you are, the more benefits I can gain! Just three more chances like this, and you'll disappear completely. Then, all your immense power will belong to me, Mei'er!"

At this moment, Mei'er's face blossomed with an incomparably enchanting smile, but the words she uttered were so unacceptable.

Hanhan, watching this scene unfold, was filled with doubt and shock. She turned to Xingbai beside her and asked, "Hanhan, could it be that this Meier is the soul that escaped from Akali and cultivated to become the spirit she is today? And judging from her appearance, it seems that she wants to completely replace that powerful Nightmare Demon Akali!"
