Helping Others is a Joy

Deep underground, Lotus, the spirit born from the Yellow Springs Black Lotus, unleashed her domain. A gigantic black lotus shrouded a thousand-mile radius, trapping the two Spirit Transformation Dao Lords within.

Yuan Tianyi and Dao Lord Wanshou remained composed, showing no haste to break the domain. Both had keen eyes and could see that Lotus's foundation had suffered severe damage. Though her current eruption of mana was formidable, it could not last.

As long as they stalled for a while, this wisp of spirit would be unable to hold on by itself.

Dao Lord Wanshou cultivated the Black Tortoise Heavenly Dipper, her mana vast, dense, and enduring above all else. Yuan Tianyi cultivated the Ten Thousand Chariots Spirit-Controlling Scripture, which excelled most at borrowing and transforming external objects and forces. The three silver-armored puppets he controlled were all at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and he could switch places with any of them at will, his transformations endlessly varied.

The two Spirit Transformation Dao Lords possessed abundant battle experience. As they maneuvered, they would periodically unleash secret arts and Divine Artifacts, giving Lotus no chance to catch her breath.

Though Lotus's domain was powerful, it consumed far more mana than the two Spirit Transformation Dao Lords expended. More importantly, she was far too lacking in the finer, more intricate aspects. Most of her immense mana was wasted to no effect, posing little threat to the two Spirit Transformation Dao Lords.

Though the battle appeared fierce, in truth, it was Lotus alone who was being drained of mana.

Lotus had little experience, but she was not lacking in intelligence. She quickly discovered the problem. As a spirit born from the Yellow Springs Black Lotus, she possessed a fatal weakness: she had to rely on the Yellow Springs Black Lotus to exist.
