Junior Brother Wang Ye was indeed impressive.
Witnessing Wang Ye consecutively kill two High Dimension Lords once again, Master Qingning couldn’t help but admire.
Although the process was somewhat tricky…
Seeing Wang Ye tenderly feeding her the Immortal Herb Spiritual Plant that restored her willpower, anyone unaware would have thought Wang Ye was kind-hearted.
In reality, he had completely treated the White-Horned Master as a mere tool.
Master Qingning smiled lightly.
To be able to manipulate a high-dimensional demon lord like a puppet, Junior Brother Wang Ye was truly talented.
Unfortunately…
“Let’s go,” Master Qingning sighed inwardly.
She feared that if they didn’t leave soon, they would soon be chased by four fierce beasts.
“Alright,” Wang Ye patted Little White, signaling her to pull herself together.
Otherwise, he would simply kill her.
The White-Horned Master, having regained some of her vitality, forcefully rallied her spirits while using her tail to fiercely lash out at the still-unconscious Vast Hound Lord.
“Get up!”
“Hurry and stand up!”
“If you don’t wake up soon, I’m going to be driven mad by this human!”
“Little White.”
“Hey, I’m here!”
…
Whoosh!
The White-Horned Master streaked through the air.
Wang Ye and Master Qingning sat atop her, conversing about some secrets through mental transmission.
“So… you want to escape?” Master Qingning looked at Wang Ye.
“Yes,” Wang Ye replied. “If we can determine our location and establish contact with the Second Senior Sister through the Soul Ensnaring Dreams that Teacher gave us, we might have a chance to break free.”
“This was one of the Origin Star, Chieftain Star, and Ancestral Star,” Master Qingning said.
Wang Ye was taken aback. “Why couldn’t it be Nirvana Star? Furthermore, the Ancestral Star of the Sky race also harbors cosmic beasts and divine trees?”
“Right,” Master Qingning nodded. “Cosmic beasts and divine trees had immense life force, which was the favorite food of the ancestral star spirits, so some were kept in captivity.”
As for Nirvana Star, it was primarily centered around the high-dimensional Heavenly Dao of willpower, with the coexistence of the high-dimensional Heavenly Paths of life and death, nurturing high-dimensional life that often had naturally strong willpower, meaning there might have been some ‘anomalies.’
“But here, whether it was cosmic beasts or divine trees, they tended to be normal. Although the life force was extremely abundant, it might have been the energy of the secret realm itself, convenient for nurturing innate high-dimensional life.”
Wang Ye nodded in approval.
Master Qingning truly lived up to her reputation as a renowned university scholar.
In such a short time, she had already deduced so much information.
“Do you have a way to crack the phylactery?” Wang Ye asked.
“If we can’t leave this place, breaking it might lead to a dead end,” Master Qingning replied.
Wang Ye understood her meaning.
If the phylactery vanished, they might face persecution from the Sky race or be permanently stuck here.
“But at least we could regain our freedom,” Wang Ye stated earnestly.
“Only temporarily,” Master Qingning cautioned. “Becoming an Outer Sky race doesn’t guarantee certain death. The Sky’s enslavement method stems from the Heavenly Dao of the Ancestral Star, utilizing the power of the gods. There might still be opportunities to break free.”
“Senior Sister, you’re very knowledgeable,” Wang Ye remarked, sensing the disparity between a 4-star and a 6-star knowledge repository.
“Just some trivial knowledge,” Master Qingning replied with a light smile. “Junior Brother, your strength is what truly impresses me.”
Wang Ye chuckled. “Together, we’re invincible.”
The two exchanged smiles.
“Junior Brother, it seems you have an idea.” Master Qingning observed.
“Yes,” Wang Ye affirmed. “I plan to utilize your talent, Life Decay, to attempt breaking the phylactery again.”
Deep in thought, Master Qingning considered. “Through Life Decay, vitality diminishes to zero. However, due to the talent’s delayed effect, at the moment vitality vanishes, one is technically in a ‘false death’ state.”
“Exactly,” Wang Ye agreed. “With your mastery, you should be able to wield precise control.”
“Very well.” Master Qingning nodded. “But how can you be certain the phylactery will shatter at that exact moment?”
“Because it’s so commonplace,” Wang Ye explained. “Every expert of the Myriad races in the ten thousand-year prisons possesses it, meaning its control likely lacks precision. It likely operates on a threshold mechanism, triggering upon reaching a certain point.”
“An intriguing idea, but also highly perilous. Are you certain you wish to attempt it?” Master Qingning inquired.
“Senior Sister, what are you saying?” Wang Ye responded earnestly. “With such a risky plan, how could I possibly go first?”
“Of course, I’ll have Little White go first.”
…
White-Horned Master’s eyes widened in disbelief.
What on earth?
Was she to be a test subject again?
And this time, to fake her death?
Absolutely ludicrous!
What if things go wrong? It would be a real mess!
“I refuse!” White-Horned Master declared firmly.
“Refuse what?” Wang Ye glanced at her. “Am I asking for your opinion?”
“I hate humans!” White-Horned Master gritted her teeth angrily. “The noble blood of the White Dragon flows through my veins! How dare you treat me like this! I’ll fight you to the end!”
…
“Be gentle, Senior.”
“Alright, just relax and don’t resist.”
“Is it going to be fast?”
“Just a moment.”
Wang Ye nodded at Master Qingning.
Then, he released the Dimensional Sky Cage to cover the entire area, preventing any disturbances.
Yes, it would also prevent Little White from escaping.
Master Qingning immediately began to use her talent.
A layer of light appeared around her body, causing Little White’s face to turn pale.
Her vitality was rapidly decreasing!
“Life is a branch of the Heavenly Dao of willpower. The two are closely related,” Wang Ye explained as he watched from the side.
He had a deeper understanding of the talent’s ability to sense the Decaying of life at close range.
After using the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Python Ancestral Temple continuously, Little White’s willpower was already dispirited.
The effect of Life Decay was much stronger than normal.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Little White’s vitality was rapidly decreasing.
It was like a green leaf, turning yellow and withering bit by bit.
Life Decay was not a divine skill.
On the contrary, as an ultimate talent, it was somewhat underwhelming.
Firstly, the attack power was insufficient. If the opponent resisted, the effect would not be obvious.
Secondly, as a willpower talent, Life Decay was more of a support ability. Compared to the extremely explosive Hao Cangying…
To be honest, there was a huge gap.
But it also had many advantages.
It was a passive skill that didn’t require control and didn’t consume one’s willpower.
As long as there was enough time, Life Decay could gradually consume vitality, becoming more difficult to deal with over time!
It slowly devoured Little White’s vitality.
Master Qingning was like a grim reaper, slowly harvesting lives.
Wang Ye looked at the health bar on Little White’s chest.
He was waiting for the final moment.
Weakening, teetering on the brink, her life force disappearing bit by bit, until…
Death!
Wang Ye could no longer sense Little White’s aura.
Pa!
Little White, who had long been unconscious, had a golden light flash the moment its health points dropped to zero. The health points bar on her chest disappeared!
The phylactery shattered.
In its place, the Master Qingning’s health bar increased by 2755.
It was exactly half of Little White’s.
According to the judgment of the phylactery, it was Master Qingning who killed Little White.
Whoosh…
In an instant, the life force returned.
The halo of the Master Qingning disappeared.
Little White, whose life had Decayed, was like a Decayed leaf that slowly regained her vitality.
Although her vitality was still weak, it was as if the remaining spark of life in her body had been reignited and pulled back from the brink of death.
Wang Ye clenched his fists.
He had succeeded!
Senior Sister was indeed reliable!
The unsolvable phylactery finally had a solution!
“Sob, sob, sob…” The White-Horned Master groaned as she woke up.
She looked at the smiling Wang Ye before her and then at her chest.
The golden number had disappeared, and so had the phylactery.
White-Horned Master was at a loss.
Gone?
So… Was she free?
And then?
Where should she go now?
“Help you remove it?” The Master Qingning looked at Wang Ye.
“No rush.” Wang Ye shook his head. “I’m not sure if there will be any trouble after the phylactery disappears. Will the Sky’s four-winged expert appear? Will the Sky’s master give me a new phylactery?”
“Let’s wait and see for a while.”
White-Horned Master was on the verge of collapse.
This human was too ruthless!
Losing her phylactery would not benefit her at all. Instead…
It could be the beginning of a nightmare.
“Why am I so unlucky…” The White-Horned Master wanted to cry but had no tears.
She could be said to have lost everything now and had been beaten back to her original state.
Even the demon core that he had painstakingly cultivated was still with that d*mned human.
Gone, completely gone.
…
The crucial step was completed!
Wang Ye was very satisfied.
He had a different thought from Master Qingning.
He didn’t want to be enslaved by the Sky race and become a member of the Sky race. He wanted to find a way to escape.
Because that way, the initiative would not be in his hands.
It was true that freedom was the first!
Even if he couldn’t get out, he could stay here and think of a way after the hundred-year advanced hunt ended.
The next step was to find Meng Yangqing and Yao Wan as soon as possible.
And…
Obtained evolution points!
He wanted to break through to the origin of willpower!
Rather than pursuing the uncertain Star Core Great path, Life Great path, and great path of heaven’s will, it was better to be more straightforward.
He had obtained the basic great path of willpower!
Not only did his basic willpower grow the most, but it was also greatly beneficial to his indestructible body!
At the same time, the top internal world controlled by willpower could increase his cultivation speed.
Furthermore, with the improvement of his origin of willpower, whether it was his control over high-dimensional spiritual tools or his compatibility with Great Path gem treasures, he would be able to reach a higher level!
Wasn’t it just 2 million evolution points?
With his senior sister around, his luck was bursting!
In a short period, he had bumped into all kinds of cosmic beasts and fierce beasts!
Unfortunately, Little White was too weak.
She no longer had the strength to use willpower annihilation.
The High Dimension Lord couldn’t take down the fierce beasts at the layer level, but the number of cosmic beasts was extremely large!
Who would dare to believe that it had increased by several times?
Wang Ye was pleasantly surprised.
Originally, there were only a few comic beasts, but as they fought, they became a group!
One round of killing was equivalent to killing a low-grade beast. The evolution points gained were huge!
Currently, it has exceeded 1.5 million!
…
It floated in the air.
Wang Ye looked into the distance.
An incomparably huge amount of life force covered the sky and covered the earth, covering the surroundings.
It was a medium-grade high-dimensional divine tree of life.
The high-dimensional saint body could be said to be extremely huge and unshakable.
The energy it contained was even more astonishing!
“Senior Sister, let’s do something big together.” Wang Ye’s eyes sparkled.
He had been waiting for a long time.
Senior Sister’s life was already on the verge of dying, so it was a little difficult to deal with the fierce beasts.
However, it was a natural nemesis against the huge and immobile divine tree of life!
As long as he took down this middle-grade high-dimensional divine tree of life, not only would he obtain a lot of evolution points, but…
It was just enough to replace the core of his top internal world!
