Chapter 395: Chapter 399 Demon’s Gratitude (22)

The White Mountain Goddess spoke as if it was nothing to her, and then extended a fingertip, pointing towards Su Li with a light touch.

Despite the spatial distance, a shadowy figure condensed and, in the blink of an eye, pierced through the spatial barrier and arrived in front of Su Li.

She could feel the mighty power contained within the shadowy figure.

The golden carp soul, barely alive and floating above the White Mountain Lady’s basket, seemed rather excited, flipping and leaping several times.

The two Child Boys glanced coldly and indifferently at Su Li’s location, then turned their heads away disinterestedly.

In their eyes, Su Li’s fate was already sealed.

Those who disrespect the Lady deserve such an end, it’s just a pity for Yu Niang.

The Lady had thought highly of Yu Niang, planning to promote her to a named Disciple after she had attained the Dao, a tremendous stroke of fortune for her.

But now, looking at Yu Niang, whose Demon Soul had turned black, both Child Boys shook their heads.

High above, the White Mountain Goddess’s heart was also somewhat annoyed, her plans disrupted by a foolish mortal.

Yu Niang had potential, which was why she had invested so much in her—hoping that once Yu Niang crossed the Dragon Gate, her own power would rise another level.

Now...

How disappointing.

With a sweep of her sleeve, the White Mountain Goddess collected Yu Niang’s Demon Soul into her basket.

Once more, she looked towards Su Li with a flicker of displeasure in her eyes, and after a moment, another shadowy figure appeared at the tip of her finger.

"Go."

Those standing in midair all had a certain look in their eyes, gazing down with neither sorrow nor joy at the struggling ants beneath them.

At this moment, the situation was perhaps the most perilous that Su Li had ever encountered in countless minor events.

Just waiting for those two shadowy figures to land on her forehead, she feared even her soul would be extinguished.

This was the disparity in strength, a fact Su Li had never been so acutely aware of as she was now.

Faced with the threat of death, her body’s Spiritual Power franticly coursed through her, the Nameless Dao Scripture rapidly sweeping up the energy available in the surroundings.

Su Li’s eyes were bloodshot, and all her body’s meridians were bulging.

The little bug swelled hundreds of times over and instinctively positioned itself in front of Su Li.

Su Li was stunned, completely unexpected that King Cup would have such autonomous behavior.

The first shadowy figure landed on King Cup, and a piercing scream filled the air.

In Su Li’s consciousness, she heard a small, faint cry of pain—it was King Cup’s last awareness.

Bloated to a huge size, King Cup, in front of Su Li, disappeared like the melting snow under the early spring sun right before her eyes, leaving no trace in this world.

A brutal, sorrowful emotion wrenched at Su Li’s heart, drawing faint trails of bloody tears between her eyes.

In her heart, King Cup was really only a tool, a means to an end; she had never considered it a companion, let alone held it dear.

She had always been moving alone through one world after another; she needed no companions, nor did she want any.

Until this moment, King Cup’s actions had given her a tremendous shock.

But now there was no more time for her to grieve; the second shadowy figure swiftly followed.

Su Li deployed all her methods—the numerous yellow talismans layered into a thick barrier enveloping her.

Looking up, Su Li could see the White Mountain Goddess looking down at her with disdain, and the mocking smile at the corners of the mouths of the two Child Boys.

If she died, she wouldn’t return to Chaos again, would she?

No, it absolutely couldn’t happen... she still had a very important task unfinished.

Su Li’s heart was roaring, shouting.

As for what the important matter was, in fact, she didn’t know either, but deep down she just knew she absolutely couldn’t die.

At this moment, the second shadowy figure had arrived.

The yellow talisman might as well have been a mirage, failing to obstruct the shadow for even a second before turning to ash dissolving into the air.

The shadow landed on Su Li, and an energy capable of scorching her soul rampaged through her body.

Her physical body vanished in an instant.

With the shackles of her body gone, Su Li’s cultivation soared higher and higher.

That overbearing energy was also eaten away by the Chaotic Power, winning Su Li a breath of respite.

Su Li’s abnormal state caused the White Mountain Goddess to utter a soft exclamation of surprise.

Before she could get a clear look, a surge of Merit Power, bright as gold, shot up towards the White Mountain Goddess.

For the first time, the peaceful and superior expression on the White Mountain Goddess’s face was replaced by fear.

Caught off guard, the Merit Power enveloped the three figures in the sky like flames.

The two Child Boys and Girls behind the White Mountain Goddess didn’t make a sound before they fell silent.

She hadn’t expected such an accident to occur.

To think that such dense Merit Power would appear on the body of a mere mortal.

Merit Power was something even Immortal Gods desired to fight over.

If she had known this person possessed Merit, she wouldn’t have lightly made her move, but now it was too late for regrets.

It was only after using a Secret Technique that the White Mountain Goddess was able to step out of the circle surrounded by Merit Power, by which time she was already in a sorry state, her beautiful palace costume damaged.

By the time she came back to her senses, the trace of the mortal human soul had already disappeared from this heaven and earth.

"Damn it," the White Mountain Goddess waved her hand, and the Demon Soul of Yu Niang she had collected was crushed to dust in her palm like grains of sand.

Having barely escaped with the Merit Power drained from her soul, Su Li’s plight was unknown, but certainly far worse than that of the White Mountain Goddess.

A sense of emptiness and weakness made her feel cold to the bone.

But now, without a body, she was nothing more than a nearly transparent human shadow, trembling and struggling to support herself to avoid being affected by the dangers within the cracks of space and time.

Having barely escaped from the hands of an Immortal God, she certainly didn’t want to lose her life in an insignificant accident.

The reason she had risked spending the last bit of Merit Power to venture into the space-time crevice was because in this place, she vaguely felt a familiar soul fluctuation.

At the very last moment, when she was about to completely collapse and could hardly hold on any longer, her form touched a piece of white, shimmering fragment.

She grasped it.

The next second, her entire figure dissipated into specks of starlight.

Feeling she had returned to a familiar warmth, Su Li finally let herself lose consciousness without worry.

A tiny piece of white fragment, flickering with a faint glow, floated motionless in the dark space.

Not knowing how long she had slept, when Su Li regained consciousness again, all she felt was wave after wave of exhaustion.

This time she had lost out.

Not only had all the Merit Power accumulated in the small worlds been exhausted, but even her condensed soul had suffered a lot of damage.

In front of the overwhelming power of the White Mountain Goddess, many of her techniques hadn’t even had a chance to be deployed.

But, even if she had, they probably wouldn’t have stood up against a single one of her fingers.

She still needed to become stronger...

However, on seeing that tiny piece of soul fragment, Su Li’s tightly pursed lips finally curved into the slightest of smiles.

That shard of soul was all that remained after King Cup had been annihilated.
