Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

At this moment, the entire bottom of the abyss fell into an eerie silence.

Gu Qinghan looked at her empty right hand, then at Da Bao, who was holding a sword in mid-air and whose body was crackling with lightning, and couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly.

"This kid..."

Gu Qinghan shook his head, a complex expression flashing across his cool face, yet also carrying a hint of barely perceptible pride.

"As expected of someone born with a sword bone, he can actually resonate with my Haotian Sword."

Feng Liuyun slapped his forehead, muttering to himself with a sore throat.

"Tsk tsk, this temper is exactly the same as Ning'er's. Sword Master Gu, it seems that your Haotian Sword will have to change its surname to Jiang from now on."

Jiang Yining stood below, her hands clasped in front of her, her purple-gold robe swaying slightly in the gale.

She looked at Da Bao, who was radiating an aura of power in mid-air, her eyes filled with a mixture of relief and coldness.

"Da Bao, let's finish this quickly."

Jiang Yining's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Da Bao's ears.

"Yes, Mother."

Da Bao nodded slightly, and only when facing Jiang Yining did a trace of warmth appear on his cold little face.

However, when he turned back to look at the Grand Elder, the warmth in his eyes instantly turned into ice.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

The elder stared in horror at the four-year-old child in mid-air who looked like a thunder god descending to earth.

He could clearly sense that although Da Bao's cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, the aura released by the superposition of his innate sword bone and perfect lightning body was rising wildly.

Late Golden Core stage... Nascent Soul stage... Deity Transformation stage...

It even faintly approached the pressure of a True Monarch Realm expert!

"Damn it! I refuse to believe I can't deal with you, you little bastard!"

The elder's face was contorted with rage; his survival instincts drove him to utter madness.

He bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood that landed in front of him.

"Star Abyss Blood Shield, appear!"

With a roar, a massive, jet-black shield, carved with countless demons and star patterns, appeared out of thin air.

The giant shield was several meters tall, and its surface exuded a strong stench of blood and a chilling resentment.

The Grand Elder frantically poured the semi-saint essence within his body into the blood shield. The scattered abyssal resentment was summoned and converged like rivers flowing into the sea, condensing into an indestructible barrier of resentment in front of the blood shield.

"I'd like to see what kind of wretch like you can use to break my natal magic weapon!"

Da Bao remained expressionless, ignoring the elder's clamor.

He slowly raised his left hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together, and gently stroked the blade of the Haotian Sword.

"Crack! Boom!"

As he moved, thousands of purple-gold lightning bolts descended from the sky, all converging on the blade of the Haotian Sword.

The destructive power of thunder and the sharp sword energy of the innate sword bone were perfectly combined at this moment, and even the surrounding void could not withstand this power, so dark spatial cracks appeared.

"cut."

Da Bao parted his thin lips slightly, his childish voice carrying a ruthless judgment.

He gripped his sword with both hands and slashed down at the massive blood shield in front of him.

"boom--!"

A terrifying sword aura, hundreds of feet long and crackling with violent purple-gold lightning, tore through the dark void like a roaring thunder dragon.

The sword energy was extremely fast, and wherever it passed, it carved a deep, bottomless trench into the black stone ground.

"Block him for me!"

The elder roared madly, squeezing out all the spiritual power in his body.

However, in the face of absolute power, all struggles seem so ridiculous.

"Snap!"

The seemingly indestructible barrier of resentment shattered like fragile glass the moment it touched the thunderous sword energy.

Immediately afterwards, the thunderous sword energy slammed into the Star Abyss Blood Shield.

"Boom!"

The destructive power of thunder raged wildly on the shield, while the sharpness of the sword energy sliced ​​through the shield like a hot knife through butter, creating a huge crack in the semi-saint-level natal magic weapon.

"puff--!"

With his natal magic weapon damaged, the Grand Elder was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

"This...this is impossible...you're clearly only at the Golden Core stage..."

The elder fell heavily into the ruins, his bones broken in countless places.

He struggled to lift his head, looking down at Da Bao who was coldly looking down at him from mid-air. The arrogance and conceit in his eyes had long been replaced by endless fear.

Escape! We must escape!

The moment this thought flashed through his mind, the Grand Elder disregarded his injuries and forcibly burned his Nascent Soul essence, transforming into a streak of blood light as he desperately fled towards the top of the abyss.

"Escape? Did you even ask me?"

A chilling, ghostly voice suddenly rang in the Grand Elder's ears.

The Grand Elder was terrified. Before he could react, he felt the space in front of him distort slightly.

Jiang Yining's purplish-gold figure had silently blocked his retreat without him even noticing.

Her stunningly beautiful face was expressionless, except for a pair of purple-gold eyes that were as cold as if she were looking at a dead person.

"you……"

The elder was terrified and tried to change lanes.

However, Jiang Yining didn't give him that chance at all.

She raised her right hand in a seemingly ordinary manner, and lightly placed her slender, fair palm on the Grand Elder's dantian.

This palm strike did not produce any ear-piercing sound, nor even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation.

But the Grand Elder's body stiffened instantly the moment he touched her palm.

"ah--!"

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly burst from the elder's throat.

In his perception, countless invisible yet extremely domineering purple-gold energy roots were now emerging from Jiang Yining's palm.

Those energy roots, like countless sharp needles, instantly pierced his dantian and firmly embedded themselves in his nascent soul.

"What...what is this thing?! No...don't drain my cultivation power!"

The Grand Elder was horrified to discover that the semi-saint level source power he had painstakingly cultivated for thousands of years was now flowing wildly into Jiang Yining's body like a flood bursting its banks, through those energy roots.

At this moment, the Devouring Law of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree revealed its most ferocious and domineering side.

In the blink of an eye, the Grand Elder's once full nascent soul began to wither and dissipate rapidly.

His body withered away at a visible rate, his skin became wrinkled like old tree bark, his black hair turned white instantly, and he finally turned into a lifeless dried corpse.

"Bang."

Jiang Yining slowly withdrew her hand.

The elder's dried corpse fell helplessly into the abyss ruins below, like a tattered rag, and shattered into dust.

"call……"

Jiang Yining took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the enormous primordial energy that she had devoured from the body of the semi-saint expert deep within her dantian.

The Myriad Spirits Divine Tree greedily absorbed this high-level energy, feeding back extremely pure immortal spiritual power, which frantically assaulted Jiang Yining's cultivation barrier.

She could clearly feel that her originally unbreakable barrier at the peak of the late stage of the Profound Light Realm was showing signs of loosening at this moment.

"Clatter".

Da Bao slowly floated down from mid-air and casually tossed the Haotian Sword to Gu Qinghan, who was standing to the side.

Gu Qinghan hurriedly caught his natal flying sword, his expression quite interesting.

Da Bao patted his little hands, which were covered in dust, with disdain, and ran to Jiang Yining's side, reaching out his little hand to grab the hem of her clothes.

"Mother, your hands are dirty."

Da Bao tilted his head back, his purplish-gold pupils filled with dependence.

Jiang Yining chuckled and took out a snow-white silk handkerchief from her sleeve, gently wiping his little hands.

"Lei'er, you did a great job. Mother is very happy."

Gu Qinghan and Feng Liuyun, who were being ignored, exchanged a glance, both touched their noses, and sighed helplessly.

However, this heartwarming moment didn't last long.

"Boom—!"

The entire bottom of the Soul Devouring Abyss suddenly began to tremble violently without any warning.

The earth began to tear apart, and countless huge cracks spread across Blackstone Plaza like a spider web.

"What's going on?!"

Feng Liuyun's expression changed slightly, and the Nirvana True Fire instantly ignited around his body.

Beneath the collapsed skeletal altar, a massive abyss-like crevice, hundreds of feet wide, suddenly appeared.

"call--"

A chilling, extremely dark gray mist, carrying a strong aura of death and decay, erupted wildly from the crack in the ground like a volcanic eruption.

As soon as this aura appeared, dark frost began to condense over a large area of ​​the surrounding void.

"Madam! Alarm!"

Mo Xie's urgent, mechanical synthesized voice suddenly rang in Jiang Yining's mind.

"Our subordinates have detected a violent overlap in the spatial coordinates here!"

"The ancient formation beneath this altar is actually directly connected to the formation of the core forbidden area of ​​the Ghost Realm—the Sea of ​​Reincarnation and Death!"
