Chapter 126: Success (2)

At this moment, however, everyone’s attention was captivated by the bewitching allure of the Myriad Wonder Demon Lotus, and no one spared a glance for the Essence of Iron Jade.

"Miss Mo, prepare to harvest the Myriad Wonder Demon Lotus!" Yan Chuan called out to rouse Mo Yuxi.

Snapping back to reality, Mo Yuxi nodded, produced the Eight-Treasure Divine Box, and opened it, ready to shroud the lotus.

"With me here, no one shall take it!"

At the mouth of the dragon, another Grandmaster Damiao suddenly manifested, blocking Yan Chuan and his party.

"Watch out!" The Azure Dragon and White Tiger immediately stepped in front of Yan Chuan and Mo Yuxi.

"Boom!"

The Azure Dragon and White Tiger each struck out with a palm, colliding with the Grandmaster.

"Hmph, two Divine Realm cultivators? That is not enough!" the Grandmaster sneered.

"My Lord, the Grandmaster is disrupting the power of the dragon vein! I can barely hold it together anymore!" Huo Guang shouted in distress.

"If you lose control, we are finished! You must hold it steady!" Yang Zhi-jiu shrieked, his eyes filled with panic. This was a desperate situation; once the dragon aura dissipated, the black mist would corrode them into mere skeletons.

"How dare you!" Mo Yuxi raised her hand, intending to strike at the Grandmaster.

"Miss Mo!" Yan Chuan commanded, stopping her.

"Hmm?" Mo Yuxi turned back, her expression frantic.

"There is no time left. If you trust me, condense an essence avatar and let me control it!" Yan Chuan stared intensely at Mo Yuxi.

"What?" Mo Yuxi exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes!" Yan Chuan nodded firmly.

An essence avatar was a manifestation of one’s own life force; no one would ever willingly make themselves a puppet for another to control. In the past, if anyone had dared to suggest such a thing, Mo Yuxi would have surely annihilated them. Yet now, looking into Yan Chuan’s resolute eyes—eyes that mirrored those from a dream she had months ago—a strange tremor ran through her heart.

"Fine!" Mo Yuxi agreed, as if under a spell.

Yan Chuan pressed a finger to the center of her brow. Mo Yuxi’s face flushed slightly, but she did not struggle. Closing her eyes, she allowed a vast amount of white essence to surge from her pores.

The form remained that of Mo Yuxi, but the eyes of the avatar now reflected the gaze of Yan Chuan: sharp, domineering, and fierce.

The essence avatar looked toward the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, who were battling the Grandmaster. Her eyes narrowed, and with a single step, she appeared before the three of them.

"Universal Cosmos!"

Countless tiny points of light manifested in the palm of the avatar, orbiting along complex trajectories. If one looked closely, it appeared as though she were holding an entire universe, with each point of light representing a star.

"Rumble!"

She thrust her palm toward the Grandmaster.

"What?" The Grandmaster’s expression shifted.

He blasted the Azure Dragon and White Tiger aside and braced himself against Mo Yuxi.

"Bang!"

The cosmos in Mo Yuxi’s palm seemed to expand instantly, enveloping the Grandmaster as countless "stars" whirled madly around him. Powerful as the Grandmaster was, he found himself bound by the force of the "stars," unable to move a muscle.

"How is this possible? What technique is this?" the Grandmaster cried out in alarm.

"Bang!"

The Grandmaster was sent flying, crashing into the space occupied by the Myriad Wonder Demon Lotus.

The moment he left the dragon's head, the surrounding black mist lunged viciously at him.

"You scoundrels!"

The Grandmaster roared in fury, but in the blink of an eye, he was consumed by the black mist and absorbed by the Myriad Wonder Demon Lotus.

A single strike had repelled the Grandmaster?

The Azure Dragon and White Tiger stared in disbelief, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"This... even though the Grandmaster has divided his soul multiple times and his strength has waned, he is still at the peak of the Divine Realm. Yet, the Holy Maiden..." The White Tiger turned his head, unable to comprehend what he had just witnessed.
