Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 199 Starry Sky Traces, Resurrecting the Cold Hunter King
The vines, strangled by the high-pressure water flow, trembled violently, and the dark, corroded marks on their surfaces peeled off in pieces, like molting skin.

The exposed new tissue has a translucent jade-like texture, with energy veins flowing inside like liquid gold.

Most astonishingly, transparent membranes resembling fish fins are now growing at the joints of the vines.

"Senra Emerald Evolution."

Mu Nujiao's soft whispers seemed to carry the rhythm of ancient tree language.

The vines with golden patterns suddenly began to vibrate at a high frequency, creating a strange resonance with the water element in the barrier.

When the high-pressure water jets cleave the surface of the newly grown vines, they not only fail to cause damage, but are also guided by the fin-like membranes and their flow direction is altered!
“Crack—”

With a crisp cracking sound, the Water Splendor Canopy was simultaneously pierced by the seven main vines! The shattered water elements transformed into countless specks of light.
Mochizuki Chika lightly touched the ground with her toes, her figure drifting backward like falling cherry blossoms.

She waved her hands rapidly, and water jets rose up from her feet as a foothold.

But those evolved emerald vines displayed a terrifying adaptability—their movement in the misty air was just like that of a giant algae dragon in the deep sea!

"Water Control: Thousand Whirlpools!"

She hastily set up eighteen rotating water shields in front of her.

But the first vine that attacked only touched it lightly, and the rapidly spinning water vortex was stained emerald green, which instead became an aid for the vine to spread.

The second vine took the opportunity to wrap around her ankle, and the cool, slippery touch made her shiver.

"Well!"

Mochizuki Chika tried to break free, but was horrified to find that her right foot, which was entangled, had lost all feeling. Then, a third and a fourth vine followed, wrapping around her wrists and waist with precision as if they were alive.

Finally, when the seventh main vine irresistibly wrapped around her neck, Mochizuki Chika froze completely in place.

"I lost."

Seeing that Mochizuki Chika had been defeated once again, the clan elder could not say anything more and could only obediently admit defeat.

They dared not send anyone more.

I thought I'd have a chance to win after getting past Lan Xi, but I lost again.

The members of the National Government from China are really quite strong in this college competition.

After successfully completing their challenge, Jiang Shaoxu and Lan Xi immediately prepared to go shopping and have some delicious food after leaving the international pavilion.

Mu Nujiao was also in a good mood and took Mu Ningxue with her.

"Ning Xue, shall we come together?"

Mu Ningxue's icy blue eyes flickered slightly, but before she could speak, Mu Nujiao took her arm.

The boy at the back watched as the girls disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Guan Yu said, "Shall we go shopping too?"

They all chuckled and went their separate ways.

Qin Xiaonan had just walked out of the heavily guarded Hecheng Prison, where the Blood Demon Man experiment by Hongmo Yiqiu was indeed taking place.

Some people in West Crane City have already been replaced by those disguised Blood Demons.

However, Qin Xiaonan did not find Hongmo Yiqiu, so he decided to go to Jishan to take a look.

A white stone staircase leads straight to the mountain gate where the mountain is worshipped, and at the foot of the mountain stands a temple.

Qin Xiaonan stood before the stone steps, gazing down at the starlight swirling around her wrist.

The moment he stepped out, a dazzling galaxy-like illusion bloomed from his toes—countless stars paved a path of light on the bluestone road, and nebulae seemed to flow among the swaying bamboo shadows.

This seemingly casual step caused his figure to fold and flicker across the spatial dimensions before solidifying again beneath the mountain gate archway.

"It really is here." His golden pupils narrowed slightly, and the scarlet mist that permeated the mountains revealed its true nature in his eyes—it was a strange network woven from the evil power of the Crimson Demon and ancient seals.

But what is even more striking is the clear light that appears and disappears in the mist, like the Big Dipper in the night, supporting a pure land with its righteous spirit.

He guessed correctly; Yi Qiu had placed all the soul fragments he had acquired so far here. This aura represented the Cold Hunter King, the true soul.

Suddenly, the golden starlight in Qin Xiaonan's eyes surged, and a swirling galaxy appeared deep within her pupils.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in the Jiangnan water towns, Soraka, who was showing Qin Yu'er around, also became serious.

"It's about to begin," she whispered.

Then another scene appeared in her field of vision—Qin Xiaonan on the summit of the sacrificial mountain was looking up at the night sky that was beginning to distort and deform.

The night sky was like a piece of silk torn open by an invisible hand, and the originally sparse stars suddenly increased exponentially.

Stargazers at Tokyo Tower were astonished to see the Summer Triangle, which shouldn't be there at this time of year, appear in the sky, with Vega and Lyra shining with a dazzling blue-white light.

"Is that... a shift in star orbits?"

The stars in the night sky are like a dazzling waterfall of stars cascading down.

Intricate star patterns appeared on the bluestone floor where Soraka sat cross-legged.

She gathered power in her hands, and the immense power of the stars transformed into a solid pillar of light that shot into the sky.

After piercing through the clouds, the beam of light suddenly turned and shot towards the direction of the sacrificial mountain, as if drawn by an invisible force.

“It’s ready, main body.” She murmured softly, but her voice was clearly transmitted to Qin Xiaonan’s ears through the starlight resonance.

At the summit of the sacrificial mountain, Qin Xiaonan opened her arms to receive the starlight that spanned thousands of miles.

"Life Reconstruction, Star Soul Returns to Its Place!"

He suddenly clasped his hands together, and a vibrant green light of life burst forth from his palms.

The moment the green light met the streaks of starlight, the red mist over the entire sacrificial mountain surged wildly, as if resisting something.

Amidst the emerald green light, the Cold Hunter King's soul began to materialize.

Qin Xiaonan intends to use the powerful abilities of her clone to revive the Cold Hunter King, who only possesses a soul.

Amidst the dazzling starlight, the Cold Hunter King's body is undergoing a miraculous rebirth.

Ancient star patterns emerged on the crystal-clear, jade-like surface of the bones, each line flowing with a galaxy-like luster.

Immediately afterwards, pale blue starlight converged between the bones, weaving into a translucent network of blood vessels.

The resurrection ritual suddenly froze as bronze muscle fibers began to cover the body.

The muscles seemed frozen in mid-air, and the area around the heart was completely empty—the most crucial spark of life had yet to be ignited.

"In the name of the Protoss!"

The main body and the clone, separated by thousands of miles, shouted in unison.

A dazzling golden light burst forth from the star mark on Qin Xiaonan's forehead, while Soraka crossed her arms and actively transferred power to her main body.

“Boom—”

The first heartbeat gently sounded, and what burst forth from the heart cavity was not blood, but liquid sparks. These blazing white flames surged along the blood vessels, and muscle fibers awakened wherever they passed.

"Boom!"

The second heartbeat was stronger.

The body suspended in mid-air suddenly trembled violently, and a starry sea imprint appeared on its chest.

As the sparks flowed through his body, the Cold Hunter's eyelashes suddenly trembled, and then his ten fingers clenched tightly, tiny sparks flying from under his fingernails.

Then those eyes slowly opened.

The Cold Hunter King has finally crossed the boundary between life and death and returned to the human world.
