Unknown Corruption!
Lin Xia was breathing heavily, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. He pointed to the seemingly perfect valley, his voice heavy with an indescribable gravity.
"It's Ivysaur! The Rakshasa Divine Mark on its back... the reaction is extremely violent! Unprecedentedly violent! There's something wrong with this valley! There's a very, very deep, extremely well-hidden darkness! Right beneath that holy light!"
Lin Xia struggled to organize her thoughts, trying to describe that indescribable feeling.
"My Plant Affinity Perception also tells me that the 'light' here... is wrong! It's too 'perfect,' so perfect it's like a false shell! Beneath that shell, there's something... cold, viscous, corrosive, and malevolent! It's corrupting these unicorns! Or rather... it's in disguise!"
Lin Xia pointed at the most powerful leader unicorn, her voice trembling slightly.
"Look closely! Look at its eyes! Deep within the core of the holy light... isn't there... isn't there a very subtle, almost Frisk ... dark purple hue?!"
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue!
They immediately activated their senses to the limit, their eyes burning like torches as they stared intently at the leader unicorn's eyes, which should have been pure gold, like molten gold!
At first, there was only pure holy light and peace.
But just as their spiritual power Infiltrator that dazzling outer holy light, as Lin Xia had said, attempting to delve into its "essence" and core—and indeed it did!
Deep within those dazzling, sacred golden pupils, in a most concealed place, a dark purple hue, seemingly alive yet exuding an aura of ominousness and decadence, lurks like a venomous snake, silently swimming about!
It was extremely faint, almost blending into the sacred golden light. If it weren't for Lin Xia's reminder and their focused investigation, it would have been impossible to detect!
This dark purple hue shares the same origin as the Rakshasa Divine Mark that is currently flashing wildly on Ivysaur!
"Hiss..."
Qian Renxue gasped, her golden eyes filled with disbelief and horror!
Her Angel Spirit instinctively sent forth a strong sense of disgust and repulsion!
The sacred has been blasphemed!
Bibi Dong's purple eyes instantly turned icy cold, and a chilling killing intent rose again. But this time, it was no longer aimed at the Soul Beast, but at the unknown source of evil hidden beneath the holy light! Her voice was like a cold wind from the depths of hell.
"Unknown... pollution? It can actually corrupt a pure light Soul Beast like the Holy Light Unicorn... and it's hidden so well! Who is it?!"
Just as they discovered this clue, their minds were shaken!
A sudden change has occurred!
The Holy Light Unicorn, the 60,000-year-old leader they were staring at, seemed to sense their Infiltrator gazes, filled with horror and murderous intent! Its previously docile, lowered head suddenly rose!
"Hiss--!!!"
A piercing, high-pitched cry, completely unlike the gentle calls of the Holy Light Unicorn, shattered the valley's tranquility like tearing silk! The cry was filled with pain, madness, and... a chilling brutality!
The pure crystal horn on its forehead suddenly became dazzling, but it was no longer a warm and holy light; instead, it was mixed with an unsettling dark purple!
Like pure crystal splattered with filthy blood!
A violent, chaotic, and destructive energy surge erupted from it like a storm!
Then, something even more horrifying happened!
The other six Holy Light Unicorn seemed to have received some kind of command, or were infected and controlled by the evil aura emanating from their leader; their eyes were also instantly tinged with more or less dark purple!
The pure holy light was corrupted, and the gentle aura was replaced by violence! They no longer strolled gracefully, but suddenly turned around, their strong hooves trampling the Illuminate moss, lowering their heads, and pointing their unicorns, which shimmered with an eerie purple light, toward the valley entrance—at Lin Xia, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue!
Seven violent beams of energy, a mixture of twisted holy light and Rakshasa Evil Power, like seven Curse spears of judgment, pierced through space with a shrill shriek that tore through the air, and shot toward the valley entrance where the three of them were!
The once Holy Light Unicorn race, symbolizing light and hope, has now transformed into... Fallen Monster radiating ominousness and destruction!
Upon seeing the attack, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue immediately stepped in front of Lin Xia to block it.
Who are Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue when faced with this attack?
The instant the beam of light pierced through the air, even faster than Lin Xia's exclamation, two figures appeared in front of him as if they had teleported!
"Death Spider Emperor, possess me!"
"Angel Descent!"
Two cold shouts rang out simultaneously, accompanied by a surge of immense Soul Power!
Bibi Dong's body surged with a purplish-black light, and the ferocious and magnificent phantom of the Death Spider Emperor instantly solidified. Eight Spider Spear as Sharpness as divine spears pierced out from behind her, intersecting in front of her to form a giant purplish-black Soul Power shield that exuded an aura of devouring and death!
On the shield, a newly acquired, more restrained and noble golden radiance, infused with the Rakshasa Divine Power, faintly flowed!
Six enormous angel wings suddenly unfurled behind Qian Renxue, and holy golden light shot into the sky, like a small sun rising in a dark forest!
With her hands clasped together, an Angel Holy Sword, purely condensed from divine energy and burning with golden flames, instantly took shape. With a horizontal movement, the sword transformed into a barrier of light and flames inscribed with divine runes, standing side by side with Bibi Dong's Death Spider Shield, forming an indestructible double Barrier!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The seven beams of light, imbued with the power of corruption, slammed into the spider shield and the Light Screen almost simultaneously!
A deafening explosion resounded at the valley entrance, and a violent energy shockwave swept out like Nutao, instantly snapping the surrounding ancient trees, carving deep furrows into the ground, and sending dust and debris soaring into the sky!
However, behind the Barrier interwoven with purple-black and gold-red, Lin Xia only felt a strong current of air brushing against his face and the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, but no energy leaked in to harm him in the slightest.
Bibi Dong's Death Spider Shield trembled violently, its purplish-black light flickering. However, its Soul Power, which had become even more resilient after being fused with the harmonizing power of the Aromatic Silk Beauty, and its terrifying cultivation as a level 97 Peak Douluo, withstood the concentrated attack that was enough to severely injure an ordinary Titled Douluo!
A flash of golden light emanated from the Spider Spear, subtly dissolving some of the corrosive purplish-black evil power.
Qian Renxue's barrier of light emitted a piercing "sizzle" sound as the Sacred Fire and the fallen purple light clashed and annihilated each other. She groaned, her figure swayed slightly, and the ground beneath her feet cracked, but her eyes remained as firm as a rock. Her six wings flapped wildly, and Angel Soul Power flowed continuously into the Holy Sword. She did not retreat even a single step!
The collision of light and darkness created a blinding surge of energy in front of her.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, two unyielding figures were revealed.
Bibi Dong's purple eyes were as cold as an icy pool as she surveyed the fallen beast horde in the distance, which had once again lowered its heads to gather Stockpile, its purple light intensifying. Without turning her head, she said to Qian Renxue:
"Xue'er, you stay here and protect Xiao Xia! I'm going to confront these corrupted things!"
Her voice carried an undeniable ruthlessness and a hint of offended anger.
The contamination of the Holy Light Unicorn nearly injured Xiao Xia and put her daughter in danger, which completely ignited the Pope's rage.
"Yes, Mother!"
