Chapter 484: Chapter 318: Nameless Technique_2

And in "Cangyuan Chronicles," this skill could also match up to this unnamed grandeur.

If it hit, even the final boss of a world line could have a large portion of its health bar directly slashed away.

Now that it had become reality, Xu Yuan realized the terror of this spellcraft only as he activated it.

The Blood Essence Meteoring Art combined with the Innate Taoist Body provided him with a far larger reserve of Origin Qi than the average person, and the body that underwent Ghostification as well as the iterations conducted by his much older sworn sister had nearly doubled his Life Origin compared to an average Mortal Transcendence.

But even so, Xu Yuan felt that his current state was very bad.

It was too violent.

The Origin Qi required by this spellcraft was so wild that he could hardly control it.

At first, the spellcraft was under his control, but as it continued to operate, the speed of the spellcraft kept increasing, faster and faster, until it ultimately went berserk like a wild horse that had broken free, wildly rampaging through his body.

The first moment he felt powerless, Xu Yuan realized something was wrong and prepared to halt the spellcraft.

This symptom, although not recorded in the Blood Essence Meteoring Art, made it clear to him that continuing could likely result in his body exploding and leading to his death.

He tried to use the Life Origin to put the brakes on the spellcraft,

But ideals are beautiful, and reality is bony.

Once this unnamed spellcraft had officially begun operation, it seemed unable to be stopped.

The increasingly violent Life Origin rapidly traveled through his meridians, and now it could traverse several cycles almost in the blink of an eye. With each cycle, it left profound engravings on the inner walls of Xu Yuan’s meridians and an intense pain that penetrated deep into his bones.

If Xu Yuan’s mind were not incredibly firm, if he were not still in a Ghostified body, he would have perished by now due to his meridians splitting or losing control of the wild Life Origin within him, resulting in an explosion of his body.

However, even with that, Xu Yuan could still hold on.

After all, he was used to the pain, and the key thing was that his body’s reserve of Life Origin was not enough to deploy this unnamed spellcraft.

The crazy speed at which the spellcraft devoured his body’s Life Origin made even his transcending Ghost feel a sliver of horror.

Merely beginning the incantation, the vast Life Origin within his body had already been depleted by a third.

At this rate, by the time the spellcraft was halfway through, his entire being could explode due to a lack of Life Origin, resulting in a spellcraft imbalance and his death.

He thought that with his current power, he could control the power of this unnamed spellcraft just like he controlled the Blood Ink Jade Sword technique, but as it turned out, he had overestimated himself and underestimated the power of this unnamed spellcraft.

This grandiose unnamed spellcraft... it seems to be a spellcraft that saints can use.

In the midst of these thoughts, the blood-ink glow that occupied half the sky had already entered the second stage and began to shrink, converging around Xu Yuan.

This turn of events further sharply increased the speed at which Life Origin was consumed in Xu Yuan’s body.

Feeling this, Xu Yuan was not panicked, and a trace of contemplation appeared in his slender eyes.

Although there were plenty of Elixir Medicines and Source Crystals in his Sumeru Ring, it was obvious they wouldn’t be enough to withstand the consumption by the spellcraft within his body, even if he ignored his physical limits.

He needed to quickly replenish Life Origin, as for the method....

Thinking this, Xu Yuan looked down at the city wall at her.

And at this moment, she was also looking up at him.

Their gazes met in midair.

Then,

he winked at her in a plea for help.

"......" Li Qingyan.

In that moment of eye contact, Li Qingyan’s heroic brows faintly furrowed.

Using the might of the military formation, she had sensed that there was something wrong with him, but due to the dense, virtually impenetrable blood-ink glow, she could not clearly perceive his specific condition.

However, because of his gaze, Li Qingyan roughly understood what he meant and huffed:

"Always acting tough. Senior, Changtian seems to have encountered some complications; he likely needs you to go up and help him."

"I see it now. This brat doesn’t seem to understand the power of his spellcraft."

Luo Xiran’s gentle voice, tinged with a hint of a sigh, sounded: "He still wishes to be my brother, yet with all that power, he’s still Soul Condensation, foolish to death."

With that,

the red armor gradually peeled away from Li Qingyan, revealing the red robe underneath, and the shedding red armor instantly condensed into a lake blue silhouette on the city wall.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Qingyan on the parapet, Luo Xiran gazed at the blood-ink glow above and chuckled while her fingertip flickered with an enchantingly dim light from a dark crystal:

"It seems plans cannot keep up with changes. If this brat’s spellcraft is successfully condensed, Your Highness, you only need to lend your force behind the military formation to deliver the final blow."

After a pause,

Luo Xiran’s voice hesitated slightly, then added: "Of course, Your Highness, you also need to be prepared to face the worst-case scenario."

Li Qingyan sighed internally upon hearing this: "This palace knows."

She truly couldn’t fathom whether this dead man was genuinely or falsely confident.

When you didn’t trust him, his intelligence was indeed accurate.

When you trusted him, it’d be fine if he were just unreliable; sometimes he was wildly off the mark.

Just like now, everyone was prepared to fight to the death against the Barbarian King, and then he suddenly dropped the ball.

With elongated thoughts, Li Qingyan gently bit her white teeth.

After the grand wedding and her return to the barracks, she would have to train this unreliable dead man well.

Luo Xiran’s rosy lips curved slightly, and she smiled softly,

"Your Highness, then I shall take my leave first."

"Wait."

Li Qingyan suddenly called out to Luo Xiran.

Luo Xiran’s figure paused slightly, turning back with a trace of confusion.

Li Qingyan’s rosy lips revealed a helpless smile, and with a backhanded grip on the sword, she performed a military salute with crisp precision,

"Senior, if things turn out to be impossible, please ensure Changtian’s safety and take him away."

"......"

Luo Xiran’s beautiful eyes flickered, glancing at Li Qingyan without a word.

"Changtian is not from the military after all, nor does he have the obligation to protect the Northern Border Soldiers." Li Qingyan’s gaze was calm as she spoke softly, "I will do my best to slay the Barbarian King, but if I fail, I will do my best to hold him off. Then, Senior, I hope you can take Changtian away."

Atop the piercingly cold city wall, Luo Xiran exhaled a white breath, chuckling,

"Alright, I promise you."

As the words fell, Luo Xiran’s beautiful eyes dropped, and the corners of her lips turned up,

"However, Your Highness, you could actually trust that kid a bit. Although he seems unreliable, he truly is a decent person.

"His perceptiveness may not be great, but his mentality is actually more resolute than many of your peers. Such a person is unlikely to be as frivolous as he appears on the surface."

Li Qingyan looked puzzled,

"What?"

Luo Xiran looked deeply at her, and with a flash, sped into the sky, leaving only her graceful voice drifting into Li Qingyan’s ears,

"He knows the whereabouts of the Life Reversal Liquid that reverses Ghost Transformation. Naturally, he also knows about the pain that must be endured to reverse the Ghost Transformation. Even so, he chose to become a ghost himself, taking on this agony for you."

"....."

Li Qingyan’s phoenix eyes narrowed, pondering for a moment. The corners of her lips curled in a slight arc, whispering in a voice too faint to be heard,

"Heh... how does this palace feel like he is...Never mind, let’s just be muddled and treat it as if that were his intention.

"Thinking that way, my heart does feel quite at ease."

...

...

...

In the core of that richly dense blood and ink, Luo Xiran directly utilized the affinity that Bark Armor had with ghostly beings to approach Xu Yuan.

She looked at his slightly convulsing body, the corners of her lips curling into a smile,

"You’re still a kid, can’t you be a bit more reliable?"

"..." Xu Yuan didn’t make a sound.

He heard the old woman’s teasing, but at this moment, even retorting had become an impossibility for him.

The near-depleted Life Origin in his body made him feel the breath of death looming over him.

He had to fully control the flow of Life Origin in his body; a slight lapse of attention could result in his body exploding and death ensuing.

Seeing his pitiful state, Luo Xiran lifted a slender finger to poke his beautifully patterned cheek,

"In the end, I, as a younger sister, still have to rescue you, elder brother. Please, next time, elder brother, do not make such a low-level mistake again."

With that said,

Luo Xiran raised her hand, parted Xu Yuan’s tightly closed lips, and fed the "Activated" Demon Crystal into his body.

Once the Demon Crystal entered his body, the ghostly shell swiftly disintegrated it, merging it into his nearly withered Dantian.

With his Life Origin replenished, within a few breaths, the blood and ink above the firmament had completely dissolved into Xu Yuan’s body.

In silence,

Xu Yuan lifted a finger, aiming it toward the azure escape light in the southwestern sky, a single
