Chapter 145 Invincible Magical Weapon, Overcoming Powerful Enemies
As the distant shadows gradually came into focus, a powerful demonic cultivator, cloaked in black and face obscured, descended like a ghost. Looking at him from afar, Dai Yao felt as if the shadowy figure was an ever-expanding darkness, creating a powerful sense of oppression. She heard creaking and groaning sounds emanating from the space around the demonic cultivator, as if the space itself were groaning in pain. The sound sent chills down her spine. Dai Yao could also feel the aura emanating from the demonic cultivator, pressing down on her like a tangible weight. She felt her breath catch in her throat, and her body trembled uncontrollably. The icy aura touching her skin made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Hiding behind her, Miao Wan turned pale with fright, clutching Dai Yao's clothes tightly and sobbing softly, "Sister Yao Yao, I'm so scared..." Even the usually arrogant spirit of the magical artifact trembled, its voice shaking slightly, "Girl, this...this guy is not to be trifled with!" The trembling voice was like the "whooshing" sound of the cold wind blowing through a broken window in winter, making Dai Yao's heart sink even further.
The mysterious demonic cultivator appeared and went straight to the point, his voice low and hoarse, like a call from hell: "Hand over the demonic artifact, and I'll spare your lives!" His voice was like sandpaper scraping against a rough wall, painfully piercing the ears. His greedy gaze was fixed on the demonic artifact in Dai Yao's hand, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey. Dai Yao felt that gaze was like a tangible hook, ensnaring her.
This sudden turn of events stunned both Elder Mogu and Lei Yan, who were already on the verge of conflict. They hadn't expected anyone to dare steal from them right under their noses, especially someone with such terrifying strength!
"Hmph, where did this ignorant fool come from, daring to steal from me!" Elder Mogu roared, his demonic energy surging. Dai Yao saw the demonic energy on his body burning like black flames, and her ears were ringing from the roar. "That's right, don't they know where they are? Don't they know who we are?" Lei Yan also shouted, and the two instantly reached a consensus to unite against the enemy.
However, faced with their taunts, the mysterious demonic cultivator merely sneered and glanced at them disdainfully: "A bunch of ants, daring to be insolent before me!" He raised his hand and waved, a powerful surge of demonic energy instantly sending the Demon Valley Elder and Lei Yan flying. The two crashed heavily to the ground, spitting blood. Dai Yao heard the heavy thud, as if two sacks full of heavy loads had been thrown to the ground. Seeing them unable to get up for a long time, her heart sank.
Upon seeing this, Dai Yao's heart sank. The strength of this mysterious demonic cultivator far exceeded her expectations. Should she fight or flee? This thought flashed through her mind rapidly.
Just then, the voice of the spirit of the demonic artifact rang in her mind: "Girl, don't be afraid. This guy is powerful, but he's not invincible. You...you..." The spirit of the demonic artifact's voice suddenly became intermittent, like an old radio with a bad signal, crackling and buzzing. Dai Yao felt that the voice was like an electric current in her mind, coming and going, making her somewhat irritated.
Dai Yao's heart tightened: "What's wrong with you?"
"Girl, don't be afraid. This guy is powerful, but he's not invincible. You...you...you must activate the ultimate form of the demonic artifact—Chaos Devouring!" The spirit of the demonic artifact spoke intermittently, and Dai Yao tried hard to decipher its words in her mind.
"However, this stuff has some... side effects."
Dai Yao raised an eyebrow: "Side effects? How serious? It won't turn me into a bald girl, or give me a face full of acne, will it?" Even at a life-or-death moment, she still had the mind to joke around.
“It’s much more serious than that,” the spirit of the artifact’s voice became serious. “You will… temporarily lose a portion of your memories.”
Dai Yao's heart tightened. Losing her memory? This was no joke!
But when she looked around, Elder Mogu and Lei Yan were already sprawled on the ground like two puddles of mud, their fates unknown. The pressure from the mysterious demonic cultivator grew stronger and stronger, as if a mountain was pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. She could clearly feel the heavy pressure on her chest.
"I'll risk it all!" Dai Yao gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes. "Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well go all out! It's better than sitting and waiting to die!"
Seeing Dai Yao hesitate, the mysterious demonic cultivator sneered, "What? Scared? It's too late to beg for mercy now!" With a wave of his hand, a jet-black demonic aura shot towards Dai Yao like a sharp sword. Dai Yao heard the howling sound of the demonic aura approaching, like the wind whipped up by the Grim Reaper wielding his scythe. She swung her demonic weapon, and a faint golden light appeared on its surface, forming a barrier that blocked the attack. She could feel the impact of the attack striking the barrier, like a strong gust of wind crashing against her.
"Hmph, who's afraid of who is still up in the air!" Dai Yao sneered, silently praying in her mind: God help me, please don't let this piece of junk cause any problems!
Seeing this, Elder Mogu and Lei Yan struggled to their feet and joined the battle. Various spells and magical powers intertwined, like dazzling fireworks, yet carrying deadly danger. Dai Yao watched the flashing light as the spells collided, her eyes stinging, while her ears were filled with the crackling sounds of the colliding spells.
Yingyue remained hidden in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike, like a venomous snake, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Dai Yao at any time.
Guided by the spirit of the demonic artifact, Dai Yao dodged left and right, barely avoiding wave after wave of attacks. She could feel the wind whipping up as she moved at high speed; the wind stung her face, and her heart pounded faster with each dodge, as if it would leap out of her throat. But she knew this couldn't go on. Her physical and spiritual energy were rapidly depleting, while her opponent showed no signs of fatigue.
Just then, Dai Yao felt a strong fluctuation emanating from the demonic artifact. It felt as if an invisible hand was violently shaking the artifact in her hand, making her palm numb. The spirit of the demonic artifact's voice echoed in her mind again: "Girl, now! Activate Chaos Devouring!"
Dai Yao took a deep breath and frantically poured her spiritual power into the demonic artifact. The artifact emitted a dazzling light, like the blazing sun, so bright it almost blinded her. She could feel the heat generated by the burst of light, as if she were near a raging furnace. A powerful force surged forth from the artifact…
“Wait,” Dai Yao suddenly said, “what’s the incantation to activate this thing?” “Incantation? What incantation? You need an incantation to activate this thing?” The spirit of the magical artifact’s voice was full of doubt. “I never said I needed an incantation! You…you’re not playing me, are you?”
Dai Yao almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Big brother, at a time like this, you're telling me this? This is a matter of life and death! Are you sure you don't want some kind of 'Pineapple Pineapple Honey' or 'Balala Energy'?" She grumbled furiously while increasing her spiritual energy output, trying to bluff her way out of the situation. The demonic artifact flickered, seemingly protesting Dai Yao's perfunctory attitude. The flickering light grew faster and faster, like rapid drumbeats. The buzzing vibrations grew more and more intense, as if it were about to explode at any moment. The vibrations spread from her hands throughout her body, making her unsteady on her feet.
Dai Yao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. As the mysterious demonic cultivator's attack drew closer, a sudden idea struck her. She recalled the ultimate moves of heroes from battle scenes she had seen before, and shouted, "Hey! Take this Super Invincible Rasengan!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the demonic artifact suddenly fell silent, and its light softened considerably, as if a raging storm had abruptly turned into a gentle breeze. Immediately afterward, an even more terrifying power surged forth from the artifact, like a black dragon roaring as it charged toward the mysterious demonic cultivator.
The giant dragon appeared, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Every scale shimmered with a destructive light. Its roar shook the earth. Dai Yao felt the ground beneath her feet undulate like waves. Wherever it passed, space was torn open with black rifts. She could faintly smell the dark aura emanating from those rifts, like the stench of a putrid swamp.
"What?!" The mysterious demonic cultivator's expression changed drastically. He felt an unprecedented threat and tried to dodge, but found that he couldn't move at all.
The black dragon instantly devoured the mysterious demonic cultivator, as well as the Demon Valley Elder and Lei Yan, who were under its control. Even Yingyue, who was hiding in the shadows, could not escape this calamity.
The magical artifact's light gradually faded, and everything around returned to calm. Dai Yao stood there, looking at the empty surroundings, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Phew... finally done." She patted the magical artifact and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to actually work! The Super Invincible Rasengan, it really is the strongest move in the universe!"
The spirit of the magical artifact: "..."
Just as Dai Yao was basking in the joy of victory, she suddenly felt dizzy...
"Huh? I feel like..."
Dai Yao shook her head, trying to stay awake.
"What's wrong? I'm dizzy and weak all over..." She leaned on the magic artifact, feeling as if she had drunk several jars of fine wine, floating around unsteadily.
"Hey! Little girl! Are you alright?" The voice of the magical artifact spirit rang in her mind, carrying a hint of barely perceptible worry.
Dai Yao forced herself to stay alert and waved her hand, "It's nothing, just a small matter, nothing to worry about~" However, before she could finish speaking, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down.
"Sprinkling water? I think you're turning into a water truck!" The spirit of the magical artifact couldn't help but complain. "I told you long ago that using hidden power comes at a price, why didn't you listen? Sigh, you really don't listen to your elders, and now you're paying the price!"
Dai Yao had no mood to argue with it right now. She felt her spiritual energy was draining away at an alarming rate, like a bucket with a hole that could never be filled. She could feel the power in her body disappearing little by little, like sand slipping through her fingers.
"This...this price is too high!?" she said with a pained expression. "Am I going to become a cripple?"
"It won't cripple me, but... there might be some aftereffects." The spirit of the magical artifact stammered, "I'm not entirely sure what those aftereffects will be. After all, this is the first time I've seen you use this hidden power!"
Dai Yao: "..." So she's become a guinea pig?
Just then, Dai Yao suddenly felt an inexplicable attraction coming from the distant east. That force seemed to be calling to her, making her involuntarily want to fly in that direction.
"Huh? What's this feeling?" Dai Yao wondered. She looked up to the east and vaguely saw a shimmering scene, like a vast ocean. The light reflected from the waves made her eyes dazzled.
"That's... the Spirit Sea!" the spirit of the demonic artifact exclaimed. "You've been summoned by the Spirit Sea!"
Before Dai Yao could ask any further questions, the attraction became even stronger. She felt her body was out of control, flying rapidly towards the Spirit Sea.
"Wait! I'm not ready yet!" Dai Yao shouted, but her voice was quickly drowned out by the howling wind.
The spirit of the magical artifact spoke in her mind: "Little girl, good luck! High-energy warning ahead! Be very careful!"
Dai Yao only felt a blur before her eyes, and then she lost consciousness...
"Look! Someone's coming!" A deep voice broke the tranquility at the entrance to the Spirit Sea.
