Master, Save Me

This repeated dance on the edge of life and death sent Lei Xiao's adrenaline soaring wildly.

"Big guy, the effects of your 'tonic' really are potent. It's just that your delivery method is a little too rough!"

As Lei Xiao darted and weaved through the void, narrowly evading the Flood Dragon's claws capable of tearing space apart, he did not forget to turn back and taunt it loudly.

He knew full well that doing so would enrage the Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon and make it attack him madly. Yet under the perception of Lei Xiao's powerful divine soul, such irrational attacks were actually safer.

Boom—!

Another devastating blow grazed past him. The violent astral wind, mixed with destructive power, scraped across every part of Lei Xiao's body like countless sharp steel blades, nearly tearing him apart.

"That was a bit too exciting."

Lei Xiao bared his teeth and sucked in a sharp breath. The sensation of his body about to be torn to pieces was far from pleasant.

He lowered his head and glanced at his arm. His sleeve had long since been reduced to dust by the earlier attacks, and the exposed skin was covered in fine cracks like a parched riverbed. Blackish-red beads of blood seeped from every fissure.

The Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon seemed to have gotten smarter. Knowing that innate baleful qi was useless against Lei Xiao, it switched to attacks carrying the power of laws.

Those powers of law clung to him like gangrene, preventing his wounds from healing.

Feeling the power of heaven and earth frantically gathering toward the Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon, Lei Xiao's expression changed drastically. It was clearly preparing a major move, and most likely an area-of-effect attack.

I can only gamble on this and see if I can interrupt the Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon's attack.

Lei Xiao gritted his teeth inwardly. His gaze fell on the swastika rune between the Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon's brows, and a ruthless glint flashed through his eyes.

The Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon's physical body was incomparably powerful. Even if he attacked with the Innate Fire Spirit Pearl, he could only inflict minor wounds, little different from scratching an itch.

The dim golden swastika rune between the Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon's brows was the enslavement restriction Zhunti had branded with the Buddhist origin. It tightly sealed its origin and was also the most fatal weakness on this Daluo ferocious beast's entire body.

He did not seek to kill the Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon. Interrupting its spellcasting would be enough.

Lei Xiao hesitated no longer and poured all his focus into activating the Innate Fire Spirit Pearl.

The blazing sun suspended high in the sky suddenly contracted. The fiery light filling the heavens completely converged, condensing from a million-zhang scorching sun into a Pure Yang fire pearl only a few inches across. The Supreme Yang divine fire had been compressed to the extreme, with the innate fire laws that burned away all yin and evil churning within.

"Go!"

With a low shout, the fire pearl tore through the sky, becoming a fleeting crimson streak. Ignoring the baleful qi scattered along its path, it shot straight toward the swastika restriction between the Flood Dragon's brows.

At that moment, the Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon was opening its mouth to draw upon the world's fierce baleful energies. Within several million li, black-red baleful qi swirled and converged, forming a terrifying vortex that connected heaven and earth.

Its massive body coiled at the vortex's center, radiating a suffocating aura of destruction. Completely immersed in the thrill of amassing power, it had never expected this "ant" to dare launch a counterattack at such a moment!

Sizzle—!

An exceedingly faint sound rippled through the void.

The Pure Yang fire pearl, compressed to the utmost and containing the Supreme Yang laws, sliced through layer upon layer of black-red baleful qi like a hot knife through butter. Without the slightest obstruction, it struck the dim golden swastika rune between the Flood Dragon's brows with perfect precision.

The swastika rune restriction and the innate Supreme Yang fire collided violently!

Buzzz—!!!

A strange, ear-piercing ripple erupted instantly.

The originally dull and lusterless swastika rune, upon touching the Pure Yang fire pearl, seemed as though it had been seared by a red-hot branding iron. It abruptly flashed with blinding golden light, then let out a mournful cry under unbearable strain.

"Roarrrgh—!!!"

The Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon, which had been preparing to unleash its major move, suddenly released an incomparably miserable scream. It carried not only excruciating physical pain, but also endless humiliation and resentment from its soul being forcibly torn apart.

In an instant, the fierce baleful qi between heaven and earth boiled violently, then collapsed like an uncontrolled flood. The black-red vortex connecting heaven and earth crumbled at once, turning into a rain of black droplets that poured from the skies.

The Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon's previously aggressive attack rhythm was completely interrupted. Its enormous body stiffened abruptly in midair, and the destructive light that had just gathered in its eyes instantly scattered, replaced by undisguised pain and confusion.

"Good chance!"

Seeing this from afar, Lei Xiao's eyes blazed. He knew that he had won his gamble!

But he had no intention of lingering. The instant his strike succeeded, he transformed into a streak of lightning and used the explosion's recoil to frantically widen the distance.

After their exchange just now, Lei Xiao understood clearly that a Daluo Golden Immortal's trump cards ran unfathomably deep. An opportunity for such hard control vanished in an instant. Once the other side recovered, he would be the one in trouble.

He became a streak of purple lightning, burning his blood essence as he shot madly into the distance.

However, just as Lei Xiao thought he could finally catch his breath, an aura even more terrifying and colder than before locked onto him from behind like gangrene.

"Ant... you have completely enraged me!!!"

A roar filled with endless resentment and fury rang through heaven and earth, shaking the void so violently that it trembled.

The baleful qi around the Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon ignited like flames. In an instant, the Flood Dragon's aura surged to a despairing level.

It transformed into a burning black-red meteor and, in an almost self-destructive manner, tore through space as it crazily crushed toward Lei Xiao.

"Not good! This big guy has really gone mad!"

Feeling the overwhelming might behind him, as though it would devour everything, Lei Xiao's scalp went numb. The explosive power of a Daluo Golden Immortal after burning its origin was simply not something a mere Golden Immortal like him could contend with.

At that instant, Lei Xiao felt himself being locked down, as though nailed within an invisible swamp. Even the surrounding void had become as viscous as glue.

The lock-on created by the Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon burning its origin had already touched upon the level of spatial laws. It could not be escaped through speed alone.

What it had locked onto was no longer him, but the entire space he occupied. So long as he remained in this world, no matter where he fled, he would be instantly crushed by that destructive power.

Damn it, this Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon really can't take a joke. I only taunted it a few times, yet a Daluo Golden Immortal is actually burning its origin to attack a tiny Golden Immortal like me.

Thoughts raced through Lei Xiao's mind. If he relied on his own strength to take this blow from the Innate Yin-Yang Baleful Qi Flood Dragon, he would certainly die.

There was only one way left.

Lei Xiao looked to the heavens and roared, "Master, save me—!"
