Chapter 180 (continued)

Using secret treasures always comes at a price, but most of those prices can be offset by other means.

The only thing that cannot be compensated for is lifespan.

Even if one's lifespan increases with their cultivation level, so what?

The higher the cultivation level, the more time is required for cultivation.

If you exhaust your lifespan prematurely, you will be stuck at this level.

Lifespan does not refer to a Realm Domain.

If someone were to retreat to a smaller Realm Domain time flows even faster and spend 100 years in seclusion, those 100 years would truly consume their lifespan.

The Bone Peach Mother Tree's secret treasure is indeed powerful, but from the moment she used it, it was destined that she wouldn't go far.

Even if she becomes Wise One, so what?

There's no way to improve it further.

To advance from the Seventh Grade Realm to the Eighth Grade Realm, even with exceptional talent, one must expend a significant portion of their lifespan in long-term seclusion.

However, the Bone Peach Mother Tree had overdrawn her lifespan, making it difficult for her to continue her secluded cultivation.

Then she will remain at the Seventh Grade Realm for life.

Tragically, her life was very short.

This treasure is extremely tempting to low-level Star Wielders.

But the Wise One in the audience, even those at the third rank, were all at the Seventh Grade Realm.

Those who have advanced to the Master Realm are unmatched in their pursuit of the Supreme path.

For a stable Supreme, lifespan is an extremely crucial factor.

Moreover, the Laws of Heaven and Earth are not so rare to them.

Even though both are "Invincibility," it depends on the level of the holder's spiritual attainment.

Zhu Qing was horrified as she stood in the blank square.

She hadn't expected that this person could actually withstand her full-force attack.

At this moment, Li Yang finally seized his opportunity!

Normally, she wouldn't be able to determine Zhu Qing's location, but since she had taken Zhu Qing's full-force attack, Zhu Qing must still be in front of her.

No matter how hard Li Yang tried, he couldn't sense her.

In the weightlessness of this empty room, she had been constantly consuming her Star Soul Power, which was why she hadn't dared to launch an attack rashly before.

Without further hesitation, she unleashed the Sixth Grade Star Weapon —the Fire Whip—that Li Yaowan had crafted for her at a high price, and simultaneously released an explosive Star Skill.

The whip, crackling with astonishing light, struck Zhu Qing precisely in the heart.

Li Yang's Star Soul was also exposed.

However, no one associated this Star Soul, which looked like a peach blossom, with "Light of Dawn".

After all, the "Light of Dawn" released Origin Soul at the Ninth Grade Realm —that dazzling and magnificent light was enough to tear through the night sky, so how could the outline of the flower be seen?

With a loud bang!

Li Yang's Star Skill hit Zhu Qing.

The Power of Space surrounding Zhu Qing was shattered, revealing her true form.

Li Yang finally saw what she looked like.

Bamboo?

No wonder it's called Zhu Qing).

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yang gripped the fire whip and swiftly lashed it at Zhu Qing.

At the same time, she also unleashed another Star Skill — Flame Vines.

A series of crackling sounds erupted.

The Wise One in the audience were quite taken aback.

They undoubtedly added a lot of Shock Points to Li Yang's experience.

Zhu Qing reacted quickly; although her Star Soul had been severely injured by Li Yang, she had also brought life-saving pills with her.

She quickly swallowed the pill and retreated rapidly.

Li Yang wasn't about to give her a chance to escape; she lashed out with her whip again!

Li Yang's whip wrapped around Zhu Qing's slender body.

In this way, even if the Zhu Qing turn into a blank space, Li Yang can still use this whip to accurately locate the target.

Rumble!

Li Yang quickly unleashed several more explosive Star Skill.

Despite the relentless bombing, the empty house remained completely intact.

Li Yang keenly sensed that his Star Skill would be swallowed up by the surrounding walls.

She vaguely understood that this blank house might be made of the Power of Space.

This explains why Zhu Qing was able to conceal her form: she had mastered the Power of Space.

The Power of Space can actually be used like this?

That's an excellent ability to launch a sneak attack!

Li Yang launched a fierce attack on Zhu Qing was forced to retreat steadily.

But Zhu Qing was of a higher realm; even though she was only at the Seventh Grade Initial Stage, she had already stepped into the Master Realm.

Zhu Qing hadn't taken Li Yang seriously at first, but she never expected her to have such formidable combat power!

Faced with Li Yang's relentless pursuit, Zhu Qing also began to gather strength for a counterattack.

She won't fall here!

She wants to become Wise One! She wants to reach the pinnacle!

Zhu Qing gritted her teeth, gathered the Power of Space in her hand, condensed it into an empty sphere powerful enough to tear everything apart, and threw it towards Li Yang.

This ball is made of the Power of Space.

With Li Yang's level of cultivation, he couldn't sense it at all.

The Third-Class Wise One men in the audience were also quite surprised.

Zhu Qing's strength is extraordinary; she can actually control the Power of Space to this extent!

Although this sphere was very rough, it was extremely fast and incredibly powerful.

Many of the Third-Class Wise One present probably won't be able to avoid it.

Lianxin, "Fellow Daoist, be careful!"

Li Yang couldn't see the blank sphere, but she was connected to Lianxin's Spirit Sea and could clearly sense the approaching danger.

From the audience, Xuanyuan said calmly, "If she tries to withstand it with her Invincible Shield, she'll die on the spot."

The Laws of Heaven and Earth on the Invincible Shield can stop this sphere formed by the Power of Space, but the price to pay for it is enough to drain the lifespan of the Bone Peach Mother Tree.

Li Yang did not try to take the hit directly.

This thing is too strange. Although she has enough lifespan, she can't just waste it.

Zhu Qing was quite clever; she swung her knife again to Li Yang's left.

Without a second thought, Li Yang used his control shield to catch Zhu Qing's slash aimed to the left.

The ball of light, created by the Power of Space, grazed past Li Yang's ear and disappeared into the wall.

Zhu Qing gritted her teeth again and unleashed her Star Skill once more, slamming it towards Li Yang while simultaneously condensing two spheres of Power of Space!

Lianxin and said, "Fellow Daoist, there are two this time, it will be difficult for us to dodge!"

Li Yang's heart tightened, and she no longer held back her strength.

She had already maxed out all the new Star Skill she had learned.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion equipped her with wood-type and fire-type Star Skill.

These two Star Skill can enhance each other if used well.

The Bone Peach Mother Tree is Star Plant, inherently of the Wood element, and its effects are exceptional when unleashing Fire-type Star Skill.

Li Yang prematurely consumed a large portion of his lifespan to raise these Star Skills to an extremely high standard.

Of course, to outsiders, all they would see is that the Bone Peach Mother Tree cultivates extremely diligently!

Although her cultivation level was not high, she devoted a great deal of effort and time to practicing her Star Skill.

This is very unprofitable for many implementers.

After all, Star Skill need to be constantly updated as one's cultivation level increases.

No matter how hard you practice Sixth Grade Realm Star Skill, it can't compare to Seventh Grade Star Skill.

Instead of wasting this time, it would be better to advance to the Seventh Grade Realm as soon as possible and cultivate more powerful Star Skill.

But at this very moment, the Bone Peach Mother Tree used this Star Skill, cultivated to its ultimate level, to kill Zhu Qing!

The Wise One in the audience could see it clearly.

Zhu Qing was able to wreak havoc on the battlefield because she sensed the Power of Space; however, the reason she was killed by the Bone Peach Mother Tree, who was at the Sixth Grade Realm Peak, was because she over-manipulated the Power of Space!

After all, she was only at the Seventh Grade Initial Stage, and her condensed Origin Soul was not powerful enough.

In order to finish the battle quickly, she forcibly condensed two spheres of Power of Space...

This overloaded her Origin Soul, causing it to be devoured by the Power of Space. Coupled with the Star Skill enhanced by the wood and fire attributes of the Bone Peach Mother Tree, she was left with no way to defend herself.

Li Yang threw out the last Flame Vines.

Zhu Qing was tightly entangled, feeling an intense sense of despair. She cried out, "No... it's impossible... I won't lose here..."

The Flame Vines tightened rapidly, and Li Yang flung them against the blank wall.

A collective sigh escaped from the audience, "What a pity, it couldn't be devoured."

Li Yang deliberately flung Zhu Qing against the blank wall.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain why she didn't eat Zhu Qing.

The blank wall, which could have swallowed Zhu Qing's body, actually helped her avoid a problem.

The Wise One men in the audience felt sorry for her, assuming that she had lost control after unleashing a full-force attack.

Only the Flower of Evil knew the truth perfectly well, and even silently grumbled, "What's wrong with eating one? Pretending to be clean!"

Then he remembered that Li Yang thought he was dirty...

Very well, he's even more unhappy now!

After defeating Zhu Qing, Li Yang did not let his guard down. Instead, he immediately closed his eyes and meditated, attempting to break through to a higher realm.

This scene was also witnessed by the Wise One in the audience.

They were not surprised by this.

For the Astral Realm beings that rely on devouring to cultivate, breaking through realms through battle is a second-best option.

The best-case scenario for the Bone Peach Mother Tree is, of course, to advance after devouring the Zhu Qing.

This might allow her to successfully comprehend the Power of Space.

After all, Zhu Qing had already sensed it.

But the Bone Peach Mother Tree dared not wait any longer. After fighting Zhu Qing, she felt immense pressure and wanted to advance to the Seventh Grade Realm as soon as possible!

Then everyone thought of the secret treasure that was imbued with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

I understand now more clearly the urgency of the Bone Peach Mother Tree.

It seems she paid a heavy price just now; if she hadn't broken through to the next realm, she probably would have lost her life.

Thinking of this, their gazes toward the Bone Peach Mother Tree became increasingly complicated.

She's quite excellent and has a lot of potential.

It's a pity that his vision and perspective were too narrow, and he overdrawn his resources too early, making things increasingly difficult for him in the future.

Lianxin dared not disturb Li Yang, and only kept trying to extend her lifespan.

He was on high alert, looking around, ready to warn Li Yang if anyone broke in.

Meditation that uses combat to break through barriers is best done without interruption.
