Numerous sharp bamboos flew out in a row. Huge bamboo shoots that were as hard as rocks crashed down heavily. Those flying bamboo leaves were even sharper than divine weapons. The space in the sky was completely filled by the Bamboo Sage's Dao Will Law, and its power was unleashed to the extreme.
Bao 'er was in an impenetrable attack, and the waves of attacks pressed down on her. The demonic flames on her body were suppressed, and the flames grew weaker and weaker, as if they were about to be annihilated.
"Senior sister, you were too stressed last night and did not sleep well. Or did you not eat enough this morning? We've only been fighting for a while, and I haven't even used my full strength yet, and you can't take it anymore?"
Zhu Sheng smiled proudly. The will of life flowed from her hands, and the will in her body surged. It was as if she could see the end of victory.
"Then you can use your full strength. If your attacks are only at this level, your ending will be very embarrassing."
Bao 'er resisted the attacks and replied.
"Shameless boasting."
Zhu Sheng's expression turned colder as she shouted. The Staff of Longevity burst with dazzling light, and the will of the emperor spread forward, turning into endless bamboo shoots that smashed down. The void buzzed loudly, as if thousands of celestial stones were falling, covering everything.
At this moment, Bao 'er's eyes became demonic. Traces of flame patterns appeared above her eyes as she stared at the attacks that filled the sky. Zhu Sheng's will of the Way seemed to have trapped her tightly, but in reality, it was not without gaps.
At this moment, an incomparably sacred light burst out, and a gorgeous crown appeared on Bao 'er's head. Her demonic eyes looked through the layers of attacks and fell on Zhu Sheng. They stared at each other, and in an instant, a raging spiritual will of the emperor descended. Zhu Sheng's body trembled, and a divine court appeared in front of her.
Above the divine court stood a figure filled with the light of the great path. She was like a majestic and inviolable goddess looking down at Zhu Sheng, making her feel inferior. A strong desire to worship arose in her heart, and her spirit was suppressed.
In the outside world, Zhu Sheng took advantage of the short moment of spiritual suppression and could not control her will. Bao 'er's Ten Thousand Spirit Fire Eyes easily saw through the flaws in her attacks. Her body shuttled forward, passing through the dense obstacles. The demonic flames on her palm rolled, and she used the Flower Plucking Hand again. A flaming claw shot out, bringing with it the sound of the air breaking. It was extremely fierce.
"Han 'er's will of the emperor."
Witnessing this scene, Yun Rou's soul in the Hundred Spirits Palace trembled slightly. A wave of sadness swept over her, and two streams of tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Danger."
Many disciples outside the arena were shocked. Yun Bao 'er was able to counter Zhu Sheng, who was wielding the Staff of Longevity, in the face of such concentrated attacks. She had seized the opportunity to land a heavy blow. Her talent was simply terrifying. Was she preparing to win in one move?
At this moment, Zhu Sheng's mind was being suppressed by Bao 'er, and the will on her body began to weaken. It was as if she had lost her soul, and she stood there in a daze, leaving her wide open. Even the will of the emperor that she had released earlier had lost control and become extremely chaotic. She was no longer able to stop Bao' er.
The crowd saw Bao`er and Zhu Sheng closing in on each other. Her flaming claw was about to land on Zhu Sheng's chest.
Weng!
At this moment, something unexpected happened. A beam of light of the Great Path suddenly exploded from where Zhu Sheng was. A terrifying spiritual wave was born from the light, breaking through Bao 'er's suppression and breaking free from the illusion of the Divine Court.
As her consciousness recovered, the majestic will of the Way of Life was waved from the Staff of Longevity, and the chaotic rules were restored to order. She did not give Bao`er a chance. With a thought, bamboo shoots fell from the sky. The spinning bamboo leaves turned into a terrifying storm that swallowed up her opponent. Immediately, the rock-like bamboo shoots and the sharp bamboo were all sucked into the storm. The light and fire of the Red Lotus Hundred Flower Hands were also annihilated.
At this moment, the arena was silent. The disciples heard the roar and saw Bao`er's entire body trapped in Zhu Sheng's will of the Way. Everyone's hearts sank.
Was this … the end?
However, the outcome was different from what they had imagined. Although many elders and disciples thought that it would be difficult for Bao`er to win, they had never thought that she would lose.
If Zhu Sheng had not broken free from the spiritual suppression, the outcome would have been completely different.
What was that ball of light that had broken through Bao`er's spiritual suppression?
Why did the might of the Way that permeated the light give everyone a sense of familiarity?
Boom boom boom!
The deafening sound gradually stopped. Bao`er, who had completely endured Zhu Sheng's will of the Way of Life, appeared in front of everyone in the next moment. The flames on her body had dissipated, and she was in a sorry state. Her clothes were torn in many places, and there were many bruises on her body. There were also small wounds caused by the bamboo leaves.
However, her aura did not weaken. She crossed her arms over her face and stood steadily in front of Zhu Sheng.
"She's fine?"
Zhu Sheng's beautiful eyes widened. Her expression was extremely shocked, and her facial features slowly squeezed together.
Senior Sister's physical strength was too ridiculous, wasn't it?
"Soul Suppressing Orb."
Bao`er slowly lowered her arms that were covering her face. She stared at the orb floating in front of Zhu Sheng. Zhu Sheng was shocked, and so was she.
This orb was as clear as water and contained an extremely majestic will of the Way of Life. It was the Natal Orb formed by the Crimson Pearl disciples of the fifth island.
Among the Nine Veins of the Phoenix Flower, the fifth island specialized in spiritual suppression. Every disciple who entered the fifth island was proficient in this Way. Moreover, the Island Master and the elders taught them all the emperor techniques related to spiritual suppression.
Bao`er never expected Zhu Sheng to have a Soul Suppressing Orb.
Of course, Zhu Sheng could not have learned the emperor techniques of the fifth island, and the Soul Suppressing Orb was not hers. Otherwise, she could have activated the orb just now and caused even more severe injuries to Bao`er.
All of this must be her mother's doing behind the scenes.
Bao`er glanced at the main hall. In order to let Zhu Sheng win, not only did she give her the Longevity Staff, she even went to the fifth island to borrow a Soul Suppressing Orb. Was she doing this to prevent Zhu Sheng from suffering from her spiritual suppression?
Mother had gone through a lot of trouble.
"It's the Crimson Pearl Island's Soul Suppressing Orb."
"This …" The elders and disciples outside the arena were also shocked. They all had an incredulous expression.
No wonder Zhu Sheng had exploded with powerful spiritual fluctuations. It was the Soul Suppressing Orb that destroyed Bao`er's emperor intent. It was not Zhu Sheng herself.
At this moment, Li Lefeng looked at the First Elder with a hint of anger. Previously, his master had said that the Island Master had set a rule that did not allow Bao`er to use the other eight veins of emperor techniques. However, in the blink of an eye, he had lent Zhu Sheng the Soul Suppressing Orb of the fifth island. He went back on his words and revealed it at the most critical moment. Not only did she injure Bao`er, but Bao`er would have been defeated by Zhu Sheng if not for her powerful emperor body.
It was unfair. It was simply infuriating.
"Where did Senior Sister learn the body refinement technique? Junior Sister is so envious. However, this is not a big problem. You have been hit by several of my laws. Do you still have the ability to fight?"
Zhu Sheng looked at Bao`er and smiled. "Admit defeat. It's more dignified."
Bao`er was already injured, and Zhu Sheng's laws and dao intent remained in her body. Zhu Sheng held the Longevity Staff in her hand and had the Soul Suppressing Orb to protect her emperor soul. She was in an invincible position.
Yun Bao`er had exhausted all her techniques. It was meaningless to continue fighting.
"I have never cultivated any body refinement technique. You can be envious because I was born like this. As for admitting defeat?"
Bao`er's voice changed. Her pure and bright eyes suddenly became deep like an endless abyss. It gave people a sense of suffocation.
Boom!
A layer of flames burst out from her body and soared up. The blood-red flames broke through the nine heavens and illuminated the Hundred Spirit Dao Peak. Bao`er's brows were filled with anger. The bloodline power in her body roared. An even stronger power burst out. The flames that enveloped her body gradually turned from red to black. What followed was an even more terrifying emperor aura and suffocating pressure. The flames were as red as ink.
"This is …" Yun Rou's eyes widened. Bao`er's Dao flame had transformed for the second time. It seemed to have mutated. The power that burst out made her heart palpitate.
Could it be … her innate bloodline had awakened!
The reason why a powerful family's descendants were stronger than ordinary martial artists was because their ancestors had an unparalleled almighty.
Those almighty's methods were extraordinary. They could imprint their own dao intent and the laws they were good at into their bloodline or even their bones. From then on, it would be passed down from generation to generation, allowing the family to continue their power. When the next generation was born, they would have an innate advantage.
Bao`er was in such a situation. Dendi and Xiao Han's bloodline flowed in her body. She might not have inherited every ability, but most of the talents were imprinted in her bloodline. Under special circumstances, it was very likely that they would be awakened.
Yun Rou felt that the intensity of Bao`er's Dao flame had far surpassed before. This was not in her plan. She had temporarily broken the restraints she had set for Bao`er.
In fact, Yun Rou's guess was right. The flames on Bao`er's body gradually turned from red to black. It was indeed a kind of talent. Qin Hao's Burning Law.
Through the Burning Law, it allowed the red lotus to sublimate a second time. Its power and dao intent were greatly enhanced. Even Bao`er's temperament became more demonic, giving people a deep sense of oppression.
"What … what's going on?"
Zhu Sheng held the Longevity Staff in her hand. A powerful life dao intent gathered in her body. Even so, she panicked when she saw Yun Bao`er's current state.
Her senior sister's aura was rising. As the black flames lingered, her aura continued to increase. It was getting more and more terrifying. Zhu Sheng suddenly had the illusion that she was facing a Dao Emperor.
"Junior sister, mother is too good to you. I'm very jealous."
Bao`er's pitch-black eyes were as deep as the abyss. Her voice was so cold that it made Zhu Sheng have an impulse to run away.
Unfortunately, there was no chance to escape.
Bao 'er slowly stretched out her hand. Endless light fell from the sky and bathed her body. Black flames bathed the holy petals. She looked like a demon, but also like a celestial being. The extreme scene was shocking to the eyes.
Buzz!
There was a terrifying vibration in the air.
The Flower Fairy Art was activated. The Hundred Spirit Flower Picking Hand broke through the air. There was nothing fancy about it. With the support of the Burning Law, the Red Lotus Overlord Fire merged with the Hundred Spirit Sect's strongest martial technique. The dao intent that Bao`er burst forth was beyond everyone's imagination.
"Master, save me."
Zhu Sheng's face was as pale as paper. She let out a cry in a different tone. Her body trembled violently and she could not move at all. She was imprisoned by Bao`er's emperor intent. The pressure on her body was no different from a Dao Emperor.
She was a sixth-stage Dao Emperor. Even with the help of the Longevity Staff, it was impossible for her to win against a Dao Emperor. There were four Dao Emperor Rings between them. She even lost the ability to escape in front of a Dao Emperor.
As for the Soul Suppressing Pearl, it was a borrowed broken pearl. It was useless.
Now that Bao`er wanted to defeat Zhu Sheng, she did not want to use spiritual attacks.
