"Hahaha, Daughter of Darkness, these ten billion humans all died because of you. Since you dare to come to my Blood Nether Star, don't even think about escaping today." The Blood Nether True Immortal was decisive. After one exchange, he knew he was no match for the Daughter of Darkness. Without any hesitation, he activated the formation and merged the blood energy of these over ten billion humans into it to enhance the formation's power.
"Today you will surely die!" Luo Xiaoxiao, holding a supreme treasure, plunged into the darkness, evading the detection of the primordial spirit power and closing in on the Blood Nether True Immortal.
"I have already released the news, and a large number of powerful cultivators will be here soon. Today, it is likely you who will die." The Blood Nether True Immortal attempted to disrupt Luo Xiaoxiao's state of mind with words, while simultaneously releasing his domain, constantly guarding against Luo Xiaoxiao's sneak attacks.
Cultivators who practiced the Path of Darkness were natural assassins. The Blood Nether True Immortal's physical body was not yet complete, and it could not withstand the assault of the supreme treasure.
A sword light suddenly appeared three feet away from the Blood Nether True Immortal and slashed towards him. At such a close distance, even with constant vigilance, the Blood Nether True Immortal could not block it. His entire body was directly cut into two halves.
After his body reassembled, the Blood Nether True Immortal's face turned paler, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes. A single sword strike had chopped off nearly twenty percent of his vitality. If this continued, he would be killed in just five more strikes.
After achieving her strike, Luo Xiaoxiao once again vanished into the darkness. An urgent voice echoed in her mind, the voice of the Grand Unity Artifact Spirit, "I sense cultivators in the Void Returning stage are approaching. You must leave immediately."
Luo Xiaoxiao was shocked. Seeing the withered corpses of the ten billion humans in the distance, she gritted her teeth and attacked the Blood Nether True Immortal again.
"Boundless Sword Light!" Luo Xiaoxiao unleashed her strongest sword strike. The Blood Nether True Immortal was hit again. As his body rapidly retreated, Luo Xiaoxiao threw a pagoda, suppressing towards the Blood Nether True Immortal.
"Grand Unity Palace!"
The Blood Nether True Immortal's eyes revealed terror, and he suddenly understood everything. It turned out this Daughter of Darkness was a successor of the fallen Lord of the Grand Unity Star Domain, no wonder she targeted the Juehai Star Domain so fiercely.
"You killed me, but you won't escape either!" In the instant before being suppressed into the Grand Unity Palace, the Blood Nether True Immortal sensed powerful auras appearing in the space outside Blood Nether Star. His eyes fixed on Luo Xiaoxiao, and he gritted his teeth.
"Hurry!"
Luo Xiaoxiao waved her hands, retracted the Grand Unity Palace, and prepared to flee into the darkness, but she felt the space of the universe being sealed and the laws of the Great Dao being restrained. Only countless soul rules permeated, rendering her unable to move.
"It's a cultivator in the Great Dao realm." The Grand Unity Artifact Spirit's anxious voice sounded in Luo Xiaoxiao's mind.
Figures descended from space, led by the Soul Nether Golden Immortal, followed by a group of cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. They all stared curiously at the restrained Luo Xiaoxiao. It was their first time seeing the legendary Daughter of Darkness, and they never expected her to be such a young and beautiful woman. Her cold, orchid-like temperament made some Nascent Soul cultivators harbor intentions.
"So the Daughter of Darkness is the successor of the Grand Unity Lord. No wonder she targeted my Juehai Star Domain so fiercely. That old fellow Grand Unity, even in death, he doesn't let people rest." The Soul Nether Golden Immortal guessed Luo Xiaoxiao's identity the moment he saw the Grand Unity Palace, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The Grand Unity Palace was a peak Great Dao supreme treasure, something even he had never possessed. To think it would be unexpectedly obtained from a mere Nascent Soul cultivator.
Luo Xiaoxiao looked at the newcomers, her heart pondering if using that Immortal King Dao Talisman could instantly kill a peak Great Dao realm expert. If she couldn't completely obliterate them, she would truly be doomed today.
Luo Xiaoxiao dared to assassinate within the Juehai Star Domain because she had her backing. She had once broken into an Immortal King's cave dwelling and obtained an Immortal King Dao Talisman. Using the Immortal King Dao Talisman, she could unleash a full-powered strike comparable to an Eternal realm expert.
However, she had no concept of this and was not confident it could completely annihilate a peak Great Dao realm expert. Even if the opponent was left with only a breath, she, a Nascent Soul cultivator, would not be able to withstand it.
Just as Luo Xiaoxiao was contemplating, the Soul Nether Golden Immortal extended his hand and grabbed towards her.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar sounded. The familiar sound made Luo Xiaoxiao's heart rejoice. She looked up and saw familiar figures standing on a blood dragon in the starry sky. The blood dragon coiled in the void, its powerful dragon pressure deterring the blood energy of the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.
At the same time, Luo Xiaoxiao felt the spatial power that had been confining her disappear. She transformed into a stream of light and quickly flew into the void above.
"Xiaoxiao pays respects to Master!" Luo Xiaoxiao knelt before Zhang Fan, her heart filled with emotion.
"Not bad. Without your master's guidance, you were still able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage in just a hundred years. The gift your master prepared for you is also just in time." Zhang Fan waved his hand and produced a dark primal crystal, over ten feet long and wide. Zhang Fan had obtained it in the Dark Forest before, and it was a treasure for cultivators practicing the Path of Darkness to refine their physical bodies.
"Such a large Dark Primal Crystal?" Luo Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with shock. Having cultivated the Path of Darkness, she naturally knew the preciousness of Dark Primal Crystals. She had spent a huge amount of spirit crystals on a star domain to buy a Dark Primal Crystal, but it was only fist-sized, and compared to the one her master produced, it was simply incomparable.
"And this too." Zhang Fan produced a black spiritual flower, immediately causing Luo Xiaoxiao to exclaim, "Dark Dao Infant Flower!"
For cultivators practicing the Path of Darkness, this was a treasure for condensing the Dao Source.
"Alright, quickly accept them."
Luo Xiaoxiao's eyes turned slightly red. The only one who could treat her so well without any expectation of return was likely her master.
"Let me introduce you, this is my Dao companion, Qin Luoshui." Luo Xiaoxiao looked curiously at the woman who had an ethereal, fairy-like aura and bowed again.
"These are my parents." Zhang Fan introduced them one by one to Luo Xiaoxiao.
The Soul Nether True Immortal and the group of Nascent Soul cultivators looked at the group of cultivators in the void, their eyes filled with surprise. Their mount alone was a pure-blooded blood dragon, not weaker than him. And the cultivators on that mount were even more terrifying, filling the Soul Nether True Immortal's heart with fear. Did this Daughter of Darkness have such a background?
Just as he was preparing to lead his men to retreat, Zhang Fan's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Take me to see the Juehai Golden Immortal!"
Upon hearing this voice, the Soul Nether True Immortal's body turned ice-cold, and he had no thought of resistance.
After the Soul Nether True Immortal indicated the direction, Zhang Fan enveloped everyone with his magic power and, with a single thought, descended to the main star of the Juehai Star Domain, appearing in the great hall of the Domain Lord's mansion. This method amazed the Soul Nether True Immortal, and at the same time, filled him with despair.
