I'll Be Back
Kundina's gaze turned icy, and a flash of blue light appeared in her hand, sweeping away the crowd opposite her and revealing the figure hidden among them.
Before the cultivators could react, they were stunned by Kundina, falling straight down like excrement and blue ice from a malfunctioning airplane sewage tank.
A small sword, no bigger than the palm of a hand, flew out from Kundina's sleeve. The blade was entirely green, with a faint golden halo around its edges.
It swelled in the air as it faced the wind, and in a very short flight time, it exploded into a ten-meter-high sword light, its sword intent fierce, slashing towards the black-haired man with extreme killing intent.
"Are you sick in the head, woman?"
The black-haired boy had a headache and frowned.
His body was firmly Lock-On by Kundina's Divine Power, and the surrounding space was as if it had been poured with cement, so solid that he couldn't even move his fingers.
He had absolutely no chance to dodge and could only take the blow head-on. The sword light cleaved into his left shoulder and exited through his right hip, instantly splitting his body in two. His upper and lower body separated in mid-air, writhing somewhat uncontrollably.
A seemingly ordinary man next to him opened his mouth, his lips splitting all the way to his ears. A terrifying suction force erupted from deep within his throat, swallowing up all the fragments of sword light that were about to strike him.
Fragments of sword light exploded in his mouth, Spread a mist of blood instantly Spread from his mouth down to his stomach, where his stomach then split open.
"[Food], I'll only ask you once: which side are you on?"
Kundina didn't stop talking; she unleashed another powerful flame, its color a deep red with a pale blue halo around the edge. Inside, there seemed to be complex Spell model shadows swirling, trying to cling to the two of them.
[Food] slowly chewed on the sword light, ignoring Kundina's words, while the black-haired boy was tidying up his broken body.
By this time, the three had fallen from the shattered airship to near-ground height, and most of the cultivators who had managed to survive the battle had perished in the aftershocks.
Kundina unleashed the terrifying flames, which struck the ground and rapidly melted under the intense heat. The soil and rocks transformed into viscous magma, the surface of which, upon cooling, formed a smooth, black, glassy layer. Vast swathes of forest spontaneously combusted under the terrifying heat radiation, the trees turning to charcoal within moments.
[Food] opened its mouth wide, as if a Black Hole was hidden inside, and began to continuously suck in the terrifying flames.
The black-haired boy pieced together his body and conjured a blank book out of thin air. The book's cover was white, without any words or pictures.
He waved it at Kundina, and the book cover instantly transformed into a painting—a night scene with a long-haired woman holding a scepter, her features blurred but her posture dignified, a star shining at the top of the scepter.
The black-haired man quickly opened the package and cautiously began to look through it.
Strangely, this thick book only had a few pages, and the black-haired man would sometimes skip over them as he flipped through it.
After reading for a few seconds, the black-haired man closed the book and stood up.
"Damn it, why didn't you say earlier that you're a passive monster, a reworked early-game specialist?! Why am I even bothering with you? I'm out!"
After speaking, the black-haired man flipped his hand, and a profound power exploded outwards. The surrounding churning clouds were all restrained by the invisible force field, the gale froze, and clouds of all colors surged in from all directions. Crimson twilight clouds, Azure Nether cold clouds, fine wispy clouds, and floating clouds of divine horses... twisted together and compressed into a huge cloud in mid-air. A torrential rain poured down, trying to extinguish the flames.
The flames showed no sign of going out. Raindrops evaporated the moment they touched the flames, turning into puffs of white steam that tumbled in the heat, like a boiler exploding in a bygone era.
Instead, Kundina made her move again, unleashing a soul-state domain that infinitely gathered the surrounding energy and cultivators' souls. A massive figure rose from behind Kundina, looking at the two in front of her.
The black-haired man's eyes narrowed, and with a flick of his wrist, he drew the flames from mid-air. Without a cauldron in sight, he became the furnace himself, with the gale as fuel. The fire enveloped the clouds and repeatedly tempered them, while excess moisture evaporated and turned into fine white mist that drifted away, refining away the chaotic and malevolent aura of the heavens layer by layer.
The originally scattered and formless clouds gradually condensed, slowly kneading the massive mass into a perfectly round elixir. Radiant light flowed around the elixir, inlaid with Daoist principles.
With the final soft shout, the light of the pill exploded, scattering the surrounding clouds. A lustrous cloud pill hung in the palm of the hand, and with a slight shake, the sound of wind howling and clouds surging came from within the pill.
The black-haired man swallowed the Wind Pill in one gulp, and then, carrying the unconscious [Food] who had swallowed the Fire Devourer, he rode away on a cloud.
The colossus behind Kundina stepped forward and unleashed a powerful punch, blasting the two of them apart. Flesh and bone mingled together, dispersing into a crimson mist in the air.
Another strange shower of pink peach blossom petals drifted out, moving from Kundina's direction towards the blood mist, Infestation their souls.
"You wait!" The black-haired man's voice came from the depths of the clouds, sometimes near, sometimes far, as if echoing in the valley. "I'm telling you, you wait! I— Lan Cijiu —will definitely return!"
"Wait..."
The last sentence was completely inaudible; the person had already vanished a hundred miles away.
Kundina frowned as she watched the two figures vanish into the horizon in an instant, turning into streaks of light. Without much regret, she looked at the cultivator in charge of the Qi Awakening Ritual.
This person remained calm and composed; the battle that had just erupted, surpassing even the peak of the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, did not faze him. He remained as composed as a neutral NPC.
"This is troublesome."
Kundina struck again, sweeping up the surrounding area. The limbs, bloodstains, bits of flesh, charred trees, and the melted and cooled glass floor were all rolled up by her, compressed into a ball, and thrown into the distant valley.
She then proceeded directly to the spirit initiation ceremony.
Half an hour later, Kundina slowly opened her eyes. In front of her were Mu Hongyuan, Ansen who had become somewhat effeminate, and a group of cultivators they had dealt with.
"[Food] followed another Survival World who appeared to be Rainbow Badge. That Rainbow Badge seems to come from a relatively rare food-themed Survival World. Their Talent is unknown, but they can instantly comprehend the essence of Alchemy Dao in that world during battle..."
Kundina's voice was somewhat cold; she was getting angry.
"I know, I'm at the scene." Ansen nodded.
"You weren't going to help when you were there?" Kundina's gaze shifted to Ansen.
Ansen was taken aback.
I'm fucking kidding me. I can't even beat a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and you want to come here and participate in a battlefield above the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection?
"I can't help you. You're all too outrageous. One has a passive ability that's stacked to the sky, and the other has a bizarrely Rainbow Badge ability," Mu Hongyuan said.
Kundina is passive in all aspects, and in the early stages of this new era's Large Dungeon that needs to be rebuilt, she is an unsolvable crusher. Survivors who spawn near her will be elbowed away by every single one of them.
Those Survivors who specialize in fighting are all dead as soon as they come, let alone her and Ansen, who are both gifted.
Even for those using Rainbow Badge, it's important to avoid Kundina's sharp edge in the early stages!
"Oh right, I heard what he said at the end." Ansen raised his hand.
"What did you say?"
He said he'd get back to normal and fuck you to death.
Kundina: "..."
