39: Aura Transformation 2

Han Yue awoke from her meditation and, seeing Xiao Bing's transformation, a pleasant surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes: "You succeeded?"

"Just one final step," Xiao Yan said solemnly. "After the Nine Lightnings Unite, he needs to endure the 'Spiritual Qi Lightning Tribulation' to truly adapt to the Major Thousand Worlds Law."

As if to confirm his words, dark clouds suddenly gathered above the Immortal Cave, and thunder rumbled.

"Perfect timing!" Xiao Bing stood tall and strode out of the Immortal Cave.

Above the glacier, the pitch-black thunderclouds formed a giant vortex, and the terrifying pressure of heaven and earth caused the Spirit Beasts within a hundred-mile radius to scatter and flee.

"Is this... a Supreme Tribulation?" Mo Ling stammered.

Xiao Yan shook his head: "It's stronger than that. Get ready, it might attract unnecessary attention."

The first bolt of lightning struck with a roar, as thick as a water bucket! Xiao Bing neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the lightning to penetrate his body. His body trembled violently, but his eyes became clearer.

"He's using the heavenly thunder to temper his Spiritual Qi!" Han Yue saw through it.

One, two... When the ninth bolt of lightning struck, Xiao Bing let out a long cry, and the lightning around his body completely turned into pure platinum-gold, his aura rising steadily!

"He succeeded!" Xiao Yan clapped his hands and laughed.

However, just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

A crimson rainbow streaked from afar, its speed astonishing. As the crimson light dissipated, a familiar figure was revealed—Blood Spirit Child! And he was accompanied by two elders who also exuded terrifying auras.

"As expected, you're here!" Blood Spirit Child sneered. "Today, you won't escape, even with wings!"

Xiao Yan's expression was grave: "Two Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereigns... the Blood God Clan really thinks highly of us."

Han Yue immediately stood beside Xiao Bing, the Tai Ling Sacred Lightning condensing in her palm. Although Mo Ling's legs were trembling, he gritted his teeth and took out his Spiritual Artifact.

Blood Spirit Child said with a sinister smile: "Emperor Yan, Xiao Bing, obediently hand over the plane coordinates, and we can leave you with complete corpses."

"Plane coordinates?" Xiao Bing's heart stirred. "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Stop feigning ignorance!" Blood Spirit Child roared. "The Lower Plane that could cultivate two of you must be hiding 'that thing'!"

Xiao Yan and Xiao Bing exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes. Clearly, the Blood God Clan was searching for a certain special item from the Dou Qi Continent.

"Want it? Come and get it yourself!" Xiao Yan suddenly made his move, his platinum flames transforming into a long Dragon that lunged at the three.

The great battle erupted instantly! Xiao Yan fought alone against two Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereigns, while Xiao Bing faced Blood Spirit Child. Although he had just completed his Spiritual Qi transformation, Xiao Bing's strength was no longer what it used to be. Nine platinum-gold divine thunders crisscrossed, actually fighting Blood Spirit Child to a standstill.

"This kid has made great progress!" Blood Spirit Child was both shocked and enraged. "Blood Demon Devours Heaven!"

He conjured a small crimson cauldron, from which an endless sea of blood spewed forth, reeking of a foul stench. Xiao Bing's lightning struck the sea of blood, but it was gradually corroded.

"Tai Ling Sacred Lightning!" Han Yue intervened in time, her silver lightning joining the battle and merging with Xiao Bing's lightning power, causing its might to surge!

"Boom!"

The sea of blood was forcibly split open, and Blood Spirit Child let out a muffled groan, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to counterattack, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he looked up into the distance: "Not good!"

A cold sword light streaked across the sky, instantly severing the head of one of the Blood God Clan's Heavenly Supremes!

"Qing Yanjing!" Blood Spirit Child gritted his teeth, tearing space without hesitation and fleeing. The other Blood God Clan expert also wanted to escape but was trapped by a spatial cage that suddenly appeared.

Qing Yanjing stepped through the air, her plain skirt fluttering, and the green longsword in her hand was unstained by blood.

"Thank you, Saintess, for your assistance," Xiao Yan said, cupping his hands.

Qing Yanjing nodded slightly, but her gaze fell on Xiao Bing: "Spiritual Qi transformation... it seems you have truly inherited the Fire Spirit Clan's legacy."

She then looked at Han Yue, a hint of gentleness flashing in her eyes: "Child, are you alright?"

Han Yue shook her head: "Thank you, Saintess, for your concern."

Qing Yanjing sighed softly: "I already know about Fu Tu Xuan's matter; the clan is currently handling it." She took out a jade talisman and handed it to Han Yue. "This is my token; it can temporarily ensure your safety."

Xiao Bing suddenly asked: "Does the Saintess know what the Blood God Clan is looking for?"

Qing Yanjing's eyes flickered: "You don't know?" She pondered for a moment. "It is said that in certain special Lower Planes, there are fragments of the 'plane of origin' hidden..."

"plane of origin?" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

"A Supreme treasure left over from the creation of the world, it is said that collecting all the fragments can control the entire Major Thousand Worlds," Qing Yanjing explained. "The Blood God Clan clearly believes your world has a fragment."

Xiao Yan and Xiao Bing were deeply shocked. The Dou Qi Continent actually hid such a precious treasure?

Qing Yanjing glanced at the imprisoned Blood God Clan expert: "I will take this person back for interrogation. You should not leave the Northern Cang Continent recently; the Blood God Clan will not give up easily."

After speaking, she waved her sleeve, taking the captive and disappearing into the spatial rift.

...

That night, inside the Immortal Cave.

"plane of origin..." Xiao Yan mused. "No wonder Soul Heaven Emperor was so obsessed with collecting Source Qi back then."

Xiao Bing nodded: "If the Ice Emperor's memory is correct, Source Ice Heart might be one of the fragments."

"More than that," Xiao Yan said in a deep voice. "My exotic flames also sensed a similar existence after coming to the Major Thousand Worlds."

Han Yue suddenly interjected: "Look at this."

She spread her palm, and the Tai Ling Sacred Lightning condensed into a small rune, exactly the same as the pattern on the jade talisman Qing Yanjing had given her.

"I found it in the 'Tai Ling Sacred Lightning Scripture,'" Han Yue explained. "According to the records, this rune is... a plane coordinate."

The three looked at each other, and a startling conjecture surfaced in their minds—the Fu Tu Ancient Clan, perhaps, was also searching for the plane of origin!
