The Dragon Emperor Origin floated in the spatial rift, and gilded Dragon claws outlined the <Dragon Language Spell> that altered reality.
Chaos Dragon patterns spread along Ling Tian and Su Meier's memory imprints, replacing the recent scene with an illusion of the two fighting valiantly, bathed in blood.
When the last memory Law was etched into their brows, a real memory was added to their Sea of Consciousness.
Sea of Consciousness · Memory
Ling Tian, covered in blood, knelt amidst the crystal pillar ruins, his right hand pressed against the shattered blade of the jade dragon sword: "Flame Dragon Triple Shift — Heaven Incineration!"
Forbidden Art! Weapon Devouring to Aid the Master!
As the Jade Dragon plunged into his Dantian, the Sword Spirit Xiangliu let out a mournful wail, and the entire Immortal Sword melted into crimson-gold Dragon marrow, injecting into his fragmented Meridians.
The price, of course, was the burning of his Lifespan.
Meanwhile, Su Meier's Nine-tailed was stained with blood, and she pressed the cracked qingqiu imperial seal against her chest: "With my Bloodline, summon the Ancestor to descend!"
Illusory figures of successive Fox Ancestors emerged from the emperor seal, but shattered one after another under the pressure of the Heart Demon.
Finally, she spat out a mouthful of vital blood, merging it into the emperor seal, barely managing to summon the afterimage of the First Empress...
As Ling Tian's Dragon-transformed right claw, now a Flame Dragon, pierced through Heart Demon Ling Tian's chest, Su Meier's moon essence chains, condensed from her burning Heavenly Dao Dantian, also crushed Heart Demon Su Jiowei's life core.
The Heart Demon, on the verge of dissipation, reverted to its Immortal Realm cultivation, with two Chaos Dragon Orbs, entwined with Immortal Qi, floating in its palm.
"You ants... barely qualified."
Heart Demon Ling Tian's shattered body dissipated into specks of light, and the Dragon Orbs precisely shot into their Purple Mansions.
"These orbs contain the undying Immortal power of us, consider them a reward for your desperate performance, enjoy them thoroughly, hehehe."
Real World Battlefield
The Dragon Emperor Origin gazed at the unconscious duo, "Time is almost up, little ones, you must grow quickly..."
As a nearby crystal pillar collapsed with a crash, Ling Tian's eyelashes fluttered — what met his eyes was his Dragon-transformed right arm, and the jade dragon sword stuck in the ground.
"We... won?"
Just as he internally examined the Dragon Orb held in his Nascent Soul's mouth, the orb suddenly reflected Su Meier's blood-stained summoning of spirits.
These meticulously designed scenes completely mended his altered memories.
"Meier, how are you?" Ling Tian embraced Su Meier, who had just woken up.
"I'm fine, Brother Ling Tian, we... won!" Su Meier looked at him, a smile of relief after surviving a catastrophe gracing her face.
"It's good that you're fine!" Ling Tian tightened his embrace around Su Meier, and suddenly, his nose stung.
He was very afraid; the Heart Demon they faced this time was far stronger than both of them.
He was afraid he hadn't protected Su Meier and that she would die in front of him.
After experiencing so much together, she had become an indispensable part of his life.
Seeing her still alive, it felt truly good!
As if sensing Ling Tian's unusual state, the Nine-tailed slowly wrapped around Ling Tian's waist.
Su Meier gently rested her face against Ling Tian's chest, quietly listening to his strong heartbeat.
At this moment, silence was more eloquent than words.
After a period of tenderness, Ling Tian and Su Meier leaned their backs against the crystal pillar wreckage.
Two Chaos Dragon Orbs floated three inches in front of their Dantians.
The moment the power of the Dragon Orbs was guided into their Nascent Souls, the Spiritual Qi of the entire Eighth Heaven suddenly surged backward, forming a hundred-zhang diameter Tai Chi refining Formation.
The Flame Dragon Fire and the essence of the moon each transformed into Yin and Yang fish eyes, with Immortal Realm Law fragments swimming within the Formation patterns.
Vast Immortal Qi poured into their Meridians like a breached Heavenly River.
His shattered Dragon-transformed right arm was the first to absorb the Immortal Qi, and Immortal Realm specific Dao patterns emerged beneath the dark gold scales.
The Xiangliu manifestation was Reborn in the Flame Dragon Fire, transforming into a nine-headed snake shadow to help him guide the rampaging Immortal Qi.
When the seventh cycle of the Heavenly Circuit was completed, green lotus illusions bloomed from the wounds pierced by the Heart Demon on his body, and his fragmented Nascent Soul, tainted with the aura of Chaos, began to self-replicate.
As the power of the Dragon Orb merged into her damaged demon core, the Nine-tailed Sky Fox illusion regenerated segment by segment from her tailbone.
The qingqiu imperial seal greedily devoured the Immortal Qi, refining the originally contaminated moon essence into an even purer form.
Nine layers of Immortal patterns appeared on the surface of the demon core, each containing immense energy fluctuations.
When twenty percent of the Immortal Qi was refined, multi-colored auspicious light burst forth from around their bodies.
Ling Tian's three hundred and sixty acupoints vibrated simultaneously, and the purity of his Flame Dragon Fire broke through to Glass Purity Flame.
Su Meier's tail tip condensed eclipse star sand, with each grain of star sand carrying the pressure of a Nascent Soul.
During the eighty-first cycle of the Heavenly Circuit, the Tai Chi refining Formation, which had been operating stably, began to tremble violently without warning.
With a dull thud, the entire Formation instantly collapsed into a giant cocoon of dazzling light!
At the same time, a Flame Dragon pattern suddenly appeared behind Ling Tian.
This Flame Dragon pattern seemed to possess life, constantly flickering with scorching firelight as it breathed.
On the other side, Su Meier's qingqiu imperial seal also emitted a dazzling green light at this moment, echoing the Flame Dragon pattern and producing a strong resonance.
As the resonance grew stronger, a powerful Immortal power surged from the light cocoon.
This power, like a surging torrent, rapidly swept through their entire bodies.
Driven by this power, Ling Tian and Su Meier's cultivation soared at an astonishing speed.
Accompanied by the baptism of Immortal power, the Chaos Nascent Soul within Ling Tian's body actually began to slowly split.
Two identical Dragon Nascent Souls separated from it, the left holding the jade dragon sword, and the right holding the Dragon Emperor Spear.
With the appearance of the twin Dragon Nascent Souls, the Bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage shattered like ice.
At this moment, Ling Tian's entire body was surrounded by Glass Purity Flame.
At Su Meier's side, her soft, sacred last tail tip actually condensed a small and exquisite qingqiu bell.
Whenever Su Meier gently swayed her last tail, this qingqiu bell would emit a pleasing sound, and the charm contained within it was enough to cause Cultivators of the same rank to fall into a temporary state of distraction.
Although their strength had greatly increased, a large amount of unabsorbed Immortal Qi still lingered outside their bodies.
Under their guidance, the unabsorbed Immortal Qi re-condensed into two crystal-clear Dragon Orbs, which were then placed into their respective Purple Mansions for good nourishment.
As the last exhalation was completed, Ling Tian slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, the Glass Purity Flame surrounding him, like an unbridled wild horse, shot straight into the sky, violently impacting the dome of the mirror domain.
Instantly, the Flame Dragon Fire tore a huge rift in the dome, and rolling heat waves rushed towards them.
However, Su Meier gently swayed her Nine-tailed, and strands of cool, pure moon essence continuously surged from her tail end, pouring back into the crimson flame rift.
Upon contact with the mirror domain's aura, these moon essences, as if guided by some mysterious Law, rapidly fused and assimilated the surrounding mirror domain's aura.
The originally violent and rampant mirror domain's aura was actually refined into healing spiritual dew, sprinkling down.
The two slowly stood up, and with their movement, the surrounding crystals shattered!
Two powerful auras instantly swept over them — Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Perfection!
On the crystal pillar ruins, Ling Tian held Su Meier's hand, looking at the glowing teleportation Formation in front of them: "After so many near-death experiences, it's time to enjoy the final spoils of war."
With that, the two stepped into the teleportation Formation together.
