Chapter 518 - Seven-leaf Ye Tianxin

Chapter 518: Seven-leaf Ye Tianxin

Ye Tianxin conjured up her Primal Qi and leaped out of the lake into the sky. She hovered in the air as she looked down at the lake.

The glow from the Formation had faded. Most of the Primal Qi had been absorbed by her. She raised her hand and studied her palm.

Whizz!

A dainty and delicate Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar floated above her palm. Six leaves spun around the Golden Lotus under its feet.

Ye Tianxin circulated her Primal Qi. Rings of energy appeared on the avatar and traveled downward.

Winged beasts flew between the valleys. However, none of them dared to linger.

The bright moon seemed like something from a painting. It remained in the night sky, never setting.

The top of the abyss seemed too far away to be seen.

The energy rings whizzed as they traveled down the avatar’s body like hula hoops.

Ye Tianxin focused her mind. Although she had absorbed a huge amount of power, she could still feel the difficulty of sprouting a leaf. She steadied her breathing and willed herself to focus. ‘Again!’

The radiant rings’ brightness intensified.

Her unwavering determination increased the avatar’s brightness.

Whizz!

A soft sound rang in the air.

Ye Tianxin was surprised to discover one of the corners of the Golden Lotus was parting. It did not take long before a shining golden leaf sprouted.

The appearance of this leaf immediately made her Extraordinary Eight Meridians flow extremely smoothly and her dantian’s sea of Qi grew. The rich Primal Qi in her body was instantly channeled into her sea of Qi.

A breakthrough!

Seven-leaf Hundred Tribulations Insight.

Ye Tianxin was overjoyed. She summoned her avatar.

It enlarged rapidly. Her original Six-leaf avatar was only about 80 feet tall. After reaching the Seven-leaf stage, it was now 90 feet tall.

She flew forward with her avatar. Alas, she had barely flown for 100 meters when the winged beasts above the abyss seemed to have noticed their prey, and they began to lunge at her, numbering in the thousands.

Their deafening cries resounded throughout the abyss.

“Danger!” Ye Tianxin immediately turned around.

Countless winged beasts dove toward her in the skies. Their eyes and claws were glowing with a faint light.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Ye Tianxin’s avatar shielded her from all the attacks.

She frowned slightly. She blamed herself for losing her sense of measure and attracting the beasts around the abyss to herself. Although she could kill low-rank beasts, who knew how long it would take to clear all the low-rank beasts here?

“Grand technique!” With a flurry of movements, Ye Tianxin escaped with her avatar.

The abyss was too huge. Its borders could not be seen at all. If she ran into a more powerful beast while running away, she would be as good as dead.

The winged beasts in the air gathered and continued to fly toward her.

“Can’t a Seven-leaf cultivator deal with this?” She looked at the vines on the cliff wall. ‘Let’s give it a try!’

With her unyielding temperament, she directed her avatar toward the skies without a second thought!

Countless winged beasts pursued her as they attacked.

Ye Tianxin was focused on flying up. In just a blink of an eye, she was several hundred meters up in the air. She surveyed her surroundings and found various beasts holding on to the cliff wall as well. Her hairs stood on end. She did not want to remain in this dangerous place for another second. She did not even have the urge to kill them. She continued flying up.

Suddenly…

Boom!

A wing that seemed like a heavenly screen passed by and struck her avatar!

Bam!

Energy rippled out horizontally.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Rocks fell from the cliff face; vines were severed.

The blow on her avatar caused her to drop.

The wind roared in her ears as it scratched at her energy shield like knives. She looked behind her. Countless flying beasts were still coming at her. Sharp beaks, cold, gleaming claws, and green eyes were all she could see. Her heart sank. Was she going to die from being killed by beasts right after she attained the Seven-leaf stage?

“No!”

Her avatar suddenly appeared and grew in size!

Boom!

The wild beasts were sent flying. Many of them were killed on the spot and fell due to gravity. However, compared to the beasts that survived, their numbers were negligible.

More and more beasts were eyeing this falling prey.

They lunged again!

This was food from the outside. It was fresh! A never-before-seen delicacy!

Ye Tianxin summoned her avatar again and merged with it.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

The beasts attacked the avatar, growing more and more ferocious by the minute.

Ou!

A huge being sailed through the skies. Its broad back with golden feathers caught Ye Tianxin as it swiped its paw at the other beasts!

Boom!

Hundreds of winged beasts were scattered and fell.

Severed limbs rained down the depths of the abyss. The cliff face that once seemed like paradise was now hell.

The Ten Thousand Years Cheng Huang was here!

When Cheng Huang struck, there was a rain of blood. It lowered its body and bared its fangs. Its sharp cry that shook the lands scattered the incoming beasts.

Cheng Huang leaped into the air. It easily covered 100 meters in just a move.

Ye Tianxin was stunned.

Cheng Huang… was terrifying. Was an Eight-leaf cultivator a match for it?

She immediately felt a great sense of security. At the same time, she started blaming herself. How could she have been so foolish? She had been searching for Cheng Huang for such a long time. Why did she not think about leaving with it? Instead, she thought she could return to the top of the abyss with her Seven-leaf cultivation base. How was that different from rushing toward her own death?

Cheng Huang landed and swung its paw again.

Boom!

Rocks from the cliff wall shot into the air.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Each of the rocks was bigger than Ye Tianxin.

Ye Tianxin was stunned by this display.

With this attack, the winged beasts scurried away. They vanished from sight in no time.

Cheng Huang growled and leaped back to the shore of the lake, before the rock statue.

“Uh…”

The distance she traversed after flying for such a long time was nothing to Cheng Huang that covered the same distance in a few simple leaps.

Cheng Huang laid itself on the ground and lowered its head.

The surroundings were extremely quiet.

Ye Tianxin understood at once… This was its domain. A beast that was powerful enough would have its own domain. The other beasts would surely steer clear of it.

Ye Tianxin kept her eyes trained in the distance. She hovered before Cheng Huang’s eyes. She said, “Thank you.”

Cheng Huang remained on the ground without giving a reply. Its eyes merely shifted.

“What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

Ye Tianxin immediately felt worried. She flew around Cheng Huang. After examining it, she found no injuries.

At this moment, Cheng Huang raised its paw and parted a pile of leaves before the statue.

Ye Tianxin looked at it. There were signs of carvings on the rock. It was a Golden Lotus. There were eight leaves on the Golden Lotus. The words carved beside the Golden Lotus were practically worn away by time.

Ye Tianxin was stunned. She flew forward and touched the veins. Only humans could be capable of this. Humans were the only ones who would leave symbols like these behind.

After pondering on it for a long time, Ye Tianxin turned around and faced Cheng Huang. “You want me to reach the Eight-leaf stage?”

Ou!

Cheng Huang lowered its paw.

Ye Tianxin nodded and said, “Alright.”

A hundred years human and Ten Thousand Years Cheng Huang.
