Chapter 447: The Innate Spirit Gourd

Upon hearing Qu Ling's words, Xu Yangzi and the others were furious, almost spitting blood, but at the same time, they were terrified and involuntarily released their divine sense to examine themselves.

A trace of mockery flashed in Qu Ling's eyes. She raised a single hand and softly uttered the word, "Go."

In the void on either side before her, light flashed, and a hundred-foot-long cyan giant silkworm and a similarly sized snow-white giant python materialized out of thin air, charging without a word toward Xu Yangzi and the others.

The cyan giant silkworm's body seemed bulky, but it radiated a deep cyan light, and its speed was actually several times faster than the snow-white python. It flashed before the members of the True Flame Sect.

Opening its mouth, with a wild flicker of cyan light, dense strands of cyan silk burst forth, weaving into a cyan net that descended toward Xu Yangzi and the others.

These cyan silk strands were glossy and translucent, and they even emitted faint ripples of law power.

Seeing this, Xu Yangzi and the others were greatly alarmed.

"Golden Crow Transformation!" Xu Yangzi shouted, his hands swiftly forming hand seals. He spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which vanished into the large banner above his head.

The spiritual patterns on the banner's surface suddenly brightened, emitting a vast flame light that instantly turned golden, and a pillar of golden fire shot out.

The others also held blood in their mouths, formed hand seals, and cast spells. The flames from the fire banners above their heads all turned golden, shooting out pillars of golden fire.

The eight pillars of fire merged in the void above their heads, transforming into a hundred-zhang-sized golden fire bird with a phoenix crown on its head, long fiery tail feathers behind it, and three claws on its feet, looking exceptionally majestic.

The golden fire bird raised its head and chirped softly, spread its broad wings, and pounced toward the oncoming cyan net.

As soon as the cyan net touched the golden fire bird, it immediately burned as if meeting its nemesis, turning into wisps of green smoke that dissipated.

Seeing this, Qu Ling raised an eyebrow slightly.

Meanwhile, the other snow-white giant python also flew near the True Flame Sect members. Suddenly, it opened its huge mouth and spat out a thick, crystalline white light.

Once the white light flew out, it silently shattered, turning into a white mist mixed with chunks of white ice, sweeping toward the True Flame Sect members with overwhelming force.

The white mist emitted immense cold, freezing the nearby void as if instantly.

The cyan giant silkworm, having failed in its attack, let out a squeak as if somewhat annoyed, and once again spat out countless cyan silk strands, like countless cyan arrows, shooting downward.

The golden beetle beneath Qu Ling did not just watch either. It let out a sharp cry, and its two front claws shone with golden light, shooting out two hundred-zhang-sized crystalline beams.

With a flash in the void, the two crystalline beams appeared before the True Flame Sect members, slashing down crosswise.

The combined attack of the three great beasts was naturally magnificent!

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Yangzi's eyes. His hands immediately formed seals like spinning wheels, and the others also looked solemn.

As the spiritual light of the banners above their heads became dazzling, the golden fire bird suddenly burst into flames all over, spun around, and turned into a pile of ashes.

...

In the Endless Sand Sea, the cyan kite flying boat shot forward swiftly.

The two had been flying for nearly half a day. Given the speed of the cyan kite flying boat, they had already penetrated quite far into the Endless Sand Sea.

Both of their faces were now slightly flushed. Han Li was better off, but Lu Yuqing's cheeks were bright red, and her body exuded an unusual scorching aura.

Han Li stood at the bow, using his spiritual eyes to probe the surroundings.

"Eh!" He suddenly let out a soft exclamation, his gaze turning to the left front.

At the edge of his vision, a faint green dot appeared, seemingly an oasis.

"This should be the legendary Mirage Illusion Realm," Lu Yuqing said.

"Finally appears..." A gleam of light flashed in Han Li's eyes, with a hint of eagerness.

"This Mirage Illusion Realm is extremely formidable, but to confirm our location here, we have no choice but to venture in. However, I am not skilled at breaking illusions, so I must rely on Brother Han," Lu Yuqing hesitated for a moment, then said to Han Li.

Han Li nodded noncommittally. The cyan kite flying boat beneath him glowed brighter, speeding up again as it rushed toward the oasis ahead.

...

Above the red wasteland, the battle continued.

Rumbling, earth-shaking sounds echoed continuously, causing the nearby void and the ground below to tremble violently.

The eight cultivators of the True Flame Sect, led by Xu Yangzi, all looked solemn, continuously forming hand seals. Apart from Xu Yangzi and the other two Golden Immortals, the faces of the others were already deathly pale.

The fire banners above their heads had long turned into a reddish-gold color, with runes flowing on their surfaces. The golden fire bird was long gone, replaced by a several-hundred-zhang expanse of golden fire sea blocking them.

The golden fire sea rolled with flames, blocking the attacks of Qu Ling's three great beasts, and the two sides were temporarily locked in a stalemate.

"It seems I underestimated you. But since you could enter the Minghan Immortal Mansion, you must have some skill. Perfect, let me test the power of this thing," Qu Ling chuckled lightly. With a wave of her hand, she tossed the emerald green gourd in her hand.

At the same time, a mass of pure silver light shot out from her mouth and vanished into the gourd in a flash.

Hum!

The originally ordinary-looking gourd suddenly trembled, emitting a dazzling green light, and its size grew, transforming into a giant green gourd about ten zhang in size. Its surface was covered with rings of patterns, entirely emerald green like a jade carving. The gourd body vibrated slightly, emitting a humming tremor.

Amid the trembling sound, the surface of the green gourd flashed, revealing a line of tadpole-like silver spiritual patterns that emitted an unbearable silver light.

An immense wave of law power radiated from the gourd, spreading outward, causing the void to tremble violently.

"An innate immortal artifact!" Xu Yangzi and the others changed expression upon seeing this.

They wanted to do something, but the combined attacks of the three great beasts came wave after wave. They were already exhausted just defending and could not spare any strength.

Qu Ling also put away her teasing expression. Her hands swiftly formed hand seals, and she spat out several more masses of silver light from her mouth, all of which vanished into the giant green gourd in a flash.

The green light emitted by the giant gourd immediately intensified, becoming almost solid. The silver spiritual patterns on it twisted and fluctuated, writhing as if alive.

With a soft "puff" sound!

Spiritual light flashed at the gourd's mouth, and a green rainbow shot out, rolling toward Xu Yangzi and the others.

Within the green rainbow, an emerald green ring appeared, emitting an indescribable law fluctuation.

A boom echoed in the void!

The nearby void suddenly collapsed, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within tens of thousands of li wildly fluctuated. Countless colorful light clusters emerged, rolling toward the emerald green ring and merging into it.

The emerald green ring grew slightly larger, and the law power it emitted became even more immense.

The green rainbow flashed and struck the golden fire sea, piercing through it as if through a piece of paper, appearing above Xu Yangzi and the others.

The rainbow suddenly rolled, enveloping the eight fire banners above Xu Yangzi and the others in a flash.

The emerald green ring inside the green rainbow suddenly enlarged, encircling the eight fire banners.

The golden flames on the banners instantly dissipated, revealing the eight large banners themselves.

The emerald green ring flickered, emitting a mesmerizing cyan halo. The eight large banners rapidly shrank, turning into eight small banners that spun within the green rainbow.

Xu Yangzi and the others' expressions changed drastically. At that moment, they felt their mental connection with the eight fire banners vanish instantly.

Seeing this, Qu Ling showed a hint of satisfaction and waved her hand to cast a spell.

The green rainbow flashed, shot backward, and vanished into the giant green gourd.

The eight small banners, also enveloped in green light, flew into the giant gourd.

Xu Yangzi and the others were dumbfounded. With the loss of the eight fire banners, the golden fire sea before them fluctuated, collapsed with a roar, and disappeared into the sky.

With the golden fire sea gone, the attacks of the three great beasts had no obstruction and shot down instantly.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Countless cyan silk strands swept down, instantly entangling the still-stunned True Flame Sect members.

The True Flame Sect members suddenly reacted and tried to struggle.

The nearby void flashed, and two thick crystalline beams appeared out of nowhere, slashing crosswise like lightning.

Blood light burst forth. The immobilized True Flame Sect members, including Xu Yangzi and the other two, were all cut in two, and large patches of blood appeared.

At that moment, a blast of extreme cold white mist mixed with countless ice chunks arrived.

A terrifying cold suddenly erupted, and a white iceberg several li in size materialized, freezing all the True Flame Sect members.

Inside the massive iceberg, the True Immortal cultivators had all perished. Only Xu Yangzi and the other two still had some breath, but they could not move at all.

"Not bad, not bad," Qu Ling said with satisfaction, muttering to herself.

At that moment, her brow suddenly furrowed slightly, and a hint of paleness flashed across her face.

Although the emerald green gourd was powerful, even without being refined, activating it consumed a tremendous amount of immortal spiritual power.

She took a light breath, and her complexion quickly recovered. She waved her hand to beckon the giant green gourd above her head.

The giant gourd rapidly shrank, returning to its original size in a few breaths, and fell into her hand.

Qu Ling cast a cold gaze at the True Flame Sect members in the iceberg, about to do something.

At that moment, a layer of blood-colored flames suddenly appeared on the bodies of Xu Yangzi and the other two, and they spontaneously ignited, turning into three balls of blood-colored flames.

The three balls of blood-colored flames quickly connected with each other, and a terrifying power erupted from within.

Crack, crack!

The massive iceberg trembled violently, and a crack appeared on its surface.

Seeing this, the snow-white giant python roared, its body emitting a bright white light, about to do something, but it was too late.

Three red lights shot out from the crack, flying into the distance. Within the red light, three infant-sized primordial spirits could be faintly seen.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

A large mass of cyan silk strands shot out, rolling toward the three primordial spirits at an astonishing speed, but compared to the teleportation-like speed of the primordial spirits, they were clearly too slow.
