The red-robed lich, now merged, looked at his hands. When he spoke, his voice was still clearly a blend of the red-robed lich's and the old lich's:
"Indeed, sometimes it's very useful to learn some skills from young people... At least the dual cultivation between Little Ellie and Xinyu proves that magic and spiritual power can be fused, and the power that complements each other's understanding is purer and stronger."
"Fusion... As expected of that old devil, you actually used such evil magic!"
The elders of the immortal sect all looked very grim, and the beautiful fairy woman shouted loudly, but she secretly hid behind the other elders.
"You want to settle old scores? Perfect, we'd like to settle old scores too~~"
The red-robed lich let out another eerie laugh, then clasped his hands together, forming a strange hand seal, while his deathly aura erupted:
"Banner, come! (Open the Netherworld!)"
A purplish-black crack instantly appeared behind the red-robed lich; it was the old lich's undead space.
However, this time, instead of the old lich's army of hundreds of thousands of undead, a large banner shrouded in purplish-black energy appeared in the rift; it was none other than the Red-Clad Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Then the red-robed lich's hand seals changed again, and the two distinct voices from her mouth—the red-robed lich's and the old lich's—perfectly overlapped once more:
"Domain, deploy!" x2
An extremely cold power suddenly erupted from the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, sweeping in all directions. This was the power of the wronged souls that the red-clothed woman had accumulated over hundreds of years.
Even though the elders of the immortal sect had been on guard in secret, they were still briefly stunned after being swept by this power... They all felt very cold, but not because of the low temperature, but because of a conceptual freeze at the soul level, which made them all dazed for 2 to 3 seconds.
When the elders of the immortal sect came to their senses, they saw that the black hole-like crack was right in front of them, and it sucked them all in.
After all the elders of the immortal sect were sucked into the purplish-black rift, the red-robed lich followed without hesitation. Then the purplish-black rift closed, and the Myriad Soul Banner and the death aura disappeared.
Within the Dead Soul Domain, comprised of the Necromancer's Space and the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, the red-robed lich stood suspended in mid-air, watching the dozen or so tense elders of the immortal sects, with hundreds of thousands of wraiths and an army of the undead behind him:
"Come on, old friends... it's time to settle all scores, old and new."
. . . . .
Meanwhile, the battles throughout the main peak of Yunshan Mountain quickly came to an end as Yulia joined the fray.
After breaking free from the constraints of the immortal elders, Yulia first drank a bottle of panacea without hesitation to recover her strength. Then, just like Theresa Scarlet Moon, she quickly moved between battlefields, helping the Federation's strongmen win one victory after another.
Like the other powerful cultivators from the immortal sects who were ambushed by spies, most of the cultivators who were defeated by Yulia were not in mortal danger. However, their spiritual power was scattered and their bones were shattered, temporarily rendering them unable to fight. They were then captured by the allied forces.
Of course, Yulia wasn't some saint either. There were a few hot-tempered, foul-mouthed immortal sect experts who, despite being knocked down, didn't pretend to be unconscious but instead spewed profanities. Yulia casually delivered two more punches and killed them instantly.
After their top-tier combatants were either defeated or held back, none of the Immortal Sect's powerful warriors could withstand the combined attacks of Yulia and Theresa Scarlet Moon. They suffered successive defeats, and soon after, they were all knocked to the ground and had their spiritual power sealed by the High Priestesses, becoming prisoners of war.
Of course, the allied forces also suffered casualties in the previous fierce battle. Although the wounds of many powerful warriors have been healed by the Crimson Moon Maids, they are no longer able to fight due to excessive consumption of magic power.
So the main force of the allied forces began to reorganize according to Ameliete's previous plan. The powerful warriors who were already in poor condition all retreated to the vicinity of Lake Yubo, where they, together with the 50 high priestesses of the Tengu Shrine, guarded the captured and sealed immortal warriors.
The remaining 30-odd strongest Federation warriors, led by Yulia and Theresa Scarlet Moon, gathered in front of the cabin where the Dao Ancestor was in seclusion to prepare for the final battle.
. . . . .
From a distance not far from the main peak of Yunshan, Amelie had a clear view of everything that was happening on the battlefield at the main peak of Yunshan.
"Thankfully, everything is going smoothly..."
Seeing that Yulia and the others had successfully defeated the Dao Ancestor's followers, Amelie breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she showed no intention of rushing over to join the others. Instead, she turned her gaze to the underground of the main peak of Yunshan Mountain.
Then her body turned into a flash of golden light, and Amelie disappeared from her original spot. When she reappeared, she was at the bottom of Lake Jade Wave.
A mermaid with blue hair and a blue dress, whose only feature is a fish tail, was waiting there; it was Xia Sha.
"How is it? Have you found anything?"
Emerald first reached out and touched the little fish tail on Shasha's foot before asking.
“Young Miss, you are indeed incredibly insightful. There is indeed another world beneath the main peak of Yunshan Mountain, and it is connected to the bottom of Yubo Lake... Please come with me.”
Xia Sha swam around Emerald for a bit before leading her into a hidden cave at the bottom of Lake Jade Wave.
The cave is very narrow, basically only wide enough for one person to swim through. And it must be a woman with a relatively slender figure. If you are even slightly muscular, you can't pass through. For example, Amelie almost got stuck by her breasts and buttocks several times when she was walking through the cave.
After traveling for about 10 minutes, the view suddenly opened up, and Xia Sha brought Amelie to the surface. This was an underground cave with a hidden river.
However, this cave is not entirely natural; you can see many traces of human intervention, including simple furniture made from stalactites and talismans inscribed on the stone walls.
Emery looked around the cave, then walked to the stone bed, touched the surface, smelled her finger, and even licked it.
"...It's her scent, there's no mistake."
After comparing the taste with that of someone she remembered, Emerald made her judgment.
In her original plan, after breaking through the protective formation of the main peak of Yunshan Mountain, Amelie was to join forces with the allied forces to fight the Dao Ancestor together.
It was her conversation with the Elf Queen in the Elf capital that led Ameliete to change her plans.
The Elf Queen had a suggestion that Amelie thought made a lot of sense: the being that most wanted to prevent the Dao Ancestor from merging with the Dao was actually the World Consciousness itself.
After all, if the Dao Ancestor successfully merges with the Dao, others will only lose their freedom and be forced to abide by the order set by the Dao Ancestor, while the world consciousness will be devoured by the Dao Ancestor and will be completely absorbed.
Therefore, finding a way to enter the root of the world and support the world consciousness that is being bullied by the Dao Ancestor, and launching a two-pronged attack on the Dao Ancestor from the present world level and the root of the world, would definitely be more efficient and increase the chances of victory.
Yulia has now developed resistance to the rules, and with the seemingly indestructible Theresa Scarlet Moon, the two of them leading the allied forces to besiege the Dao Ancestor's body in the mortal realm should be enough.
As for the person who wants to enter the world's root to support the world's consciousness, that would be Emerald.
Only Emerald could quickly learn the magic taught by the Elf Queen, allowing her own consciousness to enter the world's source to support the world's consciousness.
However, Amelie's time to learn this magic was too rushed. She can't currently do what the Dao Ancestor did, where she can simply find a small house and enter the world's origin in seclusion.
But Dao Ancestor must have come from the level that Ameliete is at now. Back then, she certainly couldn't have entered the world's origin just by sitting in meditation; she had to be in some special place.
That's why Amelie has come here now. Based on her speculation and calculations about the distribution of the ley lines in the Tianyun Empire, she believes that the location of the main peak of Yunshan Mountain is very special. It is very much like the kind of passage in myths and legends that can lead to the core of the world, just like a certain snow mountain on Blue Star in her previous life.
So when the allied forces attacked the main peak of Yunshan, Xia Sha was ordered to enter the underground river system of the Yunshan Mountains through the bottom of Yubo Lake to look for signs of human habitation, and eventually found this place.
Amelie has already determined from the scent left on the stone bed that Daozu definitely lived or cultivated in seclusion here.
By following the path once trodden by Dao Ancestor, even Amelie, whose cultivation level is slightly lower, can use her consciousness to enter the origin of the world.
Of course, although Emerald spent a wonderful night with Rei, Dao Ancestor would most likely not acknowledge it, and it wouldn't be so easy for Emerald to directly use Dao Ancestor's path.
So Emerald pulled out another anime girl card and released Tenon, whom she had just captured.
"...Greetings, Master."
After being sealed into a card, Tianyin's horrific burns were healed, and her skin returned to its fair and jade-like state from its charred state.
Although Tianyin had been forcibly controlled by divine magic, her memories were still intact. So when she bowed to Amelite, she bit her lip, appearing very unwilling but helpless.
This is completely different from Theresa Scarlet Moon. After all, Theresa Scarlet Moon is an elf. When she was defeated, she immediately knelt down and recognized her status as a slave, which was standard practice. Tianyin, on the other hand, still maintained the arrogance of the senior disciple of the immortal sect to a certain extent.
Tianyin will definitely obey Amelie's orders, since she can't defy divine magic, but she will speak in a sarcastic tone and put on a sour face.
Emerald didn't care. These were minor matters that could be adjusted and modified gradually in the future. Besides, the aloof and proud female swordswoman, with her sour face, had no choice but to obey all your orders. It could actually be a kind of fun to play with.
Lost in her thoughts, Amelie beckoned to Tianyin and pointed to the stone bed:
"Go lie down there."
"...Yes, Master."
Tianyin clearly didn't want to go, but she couldn't disobey orders, so she could only walk over like a model on a catwalk, lie down on the stone bed, completely naked.
It wasn't that Tianyin didn't want to wear clothes on purpose, but rather that her previous fairy clothes, bellyband, and white socks had all been burned away by the sun's fire, and Amelie didn't give her any new clothes to wear.
Furthermore, being ordered to lie directly on the stone bed now made it hard for Tianyin not to think of the fate that some defeated female cultivators might suffer, so she couldn't help but speak again in a sarcastic tone:
"Master truly lives up to her reputation as a witch. You've only just defeated me, and you're already making me lie on the bed like this? Your companions are still fighting a fierce battle. Is this really appropriate?"
"Whether it's suitable or not isn't up to you to decide. Don't forget that I'm the master now, and I can do whatever I want!"
Snapped!Snapped!
Emerald casually slapped Tianyin twice, then sat down beside her, assumed a meditative posture, and pressed her palms against Tianyin's body, commanding:
"Clear your mind, do not move, and do not resist my power!"
"...Yes, Master."
Tenon could only obey orders, and then remained motionless like a puppet, becoming Emerald's tool.
Of course, Amelie didn't really intend to do anything to Tianyin. Although this senior sister of the immortal sect, who was once the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect, was very attractive, she wasn't in a hurry.
Amelie wants to use the Heavenly Sound to follow the path left by the Dao Ancestor and enter the root of the world with her consciousness.
Just like the access to the internet via VPN in Amelie's previous life on Earth, some websites cannot be accessed directly and require a VPN.
Now, Tianyin is acting like an accelerator. As the only disciple of the Dao Ancestor, she will definitely not be rejected if she walks the path that the Dao Ancestor once walked.
Indeed, as the Heavenly Sound accelerator took effect, Amelie successfully connected to the route opened up by the Dao Ancestor, and her consciousness entered the Root.
It's time to launch a two-pronged attack on the Dao Ancestor!
Chapter 372 The Dao Ancestor's Offensive
"Is that the Dao Ancestor in that room?"
Led by Yulia, more than 30 powerful allied warriors cautiously approached the small wooden hut where the Dao Ancestor was in seclusion to merge with the Dao. They were all nervously swallowing their saliva. Even the most reckless Yulia and the most fearless Theresa Feiyue dared not make any rash moves.
After an eerie silence of about two minutes, Yulia finally let out a soft groan, a flame seemingly burning in her emerald eyes, and was the first to overcome her fear of the legend:
"Everyone's ready, I'll go first!"
Despite saying "I'll go first," Yulia didn't rush in and throw a punch as she usually does in battles. Instead, she looked around with her eyes.
Soon, Yulia found what she wanted: a broken large cauldron. It was originally a magical artifact, owned by an elder of a certain immortal sect. In a previous battle, Yulia kicked it and shattered a small part of it, turning it into scrap metal.
Yulia remembered this large square cauldron; it was quite sturdy and heavy, just the right size.
So Yulia walked to the Great Cauldron, lifted one of its legs with one hand and flew up, hovering about 30 meters above the mountaintop. She took a deep breath and then swung the Great Cauldron at the small wooden hut where the Dao Ancestor was in seclusion.
The moment the large cauldron left his hand, a sonic boom occurred. After flying less than a third of the distance, it was ignited by air friction and transformed into a super-fast iron fireball engulfed in flames, which crashed heavily onto the small wooden house.
boom!
The cabin was instantly shattered into pieces in the explosion, and even the mountain behind it was blown apart, with wood chips and rocks flying everywhere.
The allied warriors were all on high alert, their hands poised to unleash powerful spells, their eyes fixed on the smoke and dust kicked up by the explosion.
A moment later, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the cabin was gone, leaving only a perfectly intact futon floating in mid-air.
A woman sat on a futon with her eyes closed. She had a hot figure and a beautiful face. Her long, smooth black hair fell to her waist. She wore a black cheongsam with blood patterns and black stockings. Her hands were pressed together in front of her abdomen, but her palms were spread apart. A ball of purple-blue spiritual energy was swirling in her palms.
"...Is it really Miss Lian?"
Yulia stared at the woman, rubbed her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.
Although she had heard about Lian and Daozu from Emerald long ago, seeing in person that this legendary strongest person was a friend with whom she had drunk wine, eaten meat, listened to music, and watched dances still made her feel somewhat complicated.
Despite the violent destruction of his secluded retreat place, the Dao Ancestor remained completely oblivious, sitting on his meditation cushion with his eyes closed, ignoring the more than 30 powerful members of the allied forces.
There was no powerful energy fluctuation from the Dao Ancestor. If it weren't for the futon beneath her floating in the air, one could easily mistake her for an ordinary, beautiful woman resting with her eyes closed.
But the more this was the case, the more uneasy the powerful figures in the allied forces became.
Even though the Dao Ancestor hadn't done anything, they grew increasingly nervous, as if they were walking alone at night and being targeted by a predator lurking somewhere. Many powerful individuals hadn't experienced that inexplicable tingling and dry mouth feeling for over a hundred years.
"...Don't look down on me! So what if you're a Dao Ancestor? Take this first!"
Finally, a burly-looking Federation man couldn't hold back any longer. He roared and opened his mouth, forcefully spitting at the Dao Ancestor.
This is a fusion-stage mage whose strongest fusion organ is his mouth. He can fire highly effective pure magic cannons through his mouth, making him a true master of verbal attacks.
The highly concentrated, compressed pure magic energy beam blasted towards Dao Zu's head, but Dao Zu neither dodged nor avoided it, and didn't even open his eyes.
The spiritual energy in the Dao Ancestor's palm fluctuated slightly, completely absorbing the verbal attack of the powerful expert, leaving not a single drop.
“What…”
The powerful allied forces who witnessed this scene were secretly astonished, especially the Federation members.
While that verbal sparring expert's strength couldn't compare to that of the chosen ones, he was still a well-known figure within the Lohid Club. His verbal attacks, though less effective in terms of range than super-level magic, were absolutely no less lethal to a single target.
Such a powerful attack was neutralized just like that?
Not only did everyone fail to understand the Dao Ancestor's methods, but they also couldn't sense any fluctuations in the power emanating from him... It was terrifying.
"Take this too!"
The increasing pressure made the allied forces increasingly impatient. Another great swordsman from Shangying Kingdom drew his sword and unleashed a powerful crescent-shaped sword aura.
"Me too!"
This time, it was an elven archmage who compressed the magic of the seven elements—fire, ice, wind, lightning, earth, darkness, and light—into balls that surrounded herself. Then, she forcibly fused the seven elemental magics together, transforming them into a chaotic and explosive stream of elements that blasted towards the Dao Ancestor.
