Chapter 2153: Blue Waterfall Lake

The giant flower vanished into the void with a single, sudden sway.

The next moment, a ripple appeared at the spatial crack where the old woman had vanished, and the phantom of the giant flower flashed and disappeared into it.

A thunderous roar erupted!

The spatial crack trembled, and then, as if a volcano had erupted, it spewed forth a large expanse of pink light.

Amidst the light, a staggering red figure was carried along—it was none other than the old woman, He Yan.

Her body spun several times in the light, appearing completely out of control.

Not only that, but after the torrent of pink light erupted, the spatial crack also flashed violently several times before collapsing.

That single pink giant flower seemed inconspicuous, but its immense power could directly shatter the void!

The old woman let out a startled roar, and her staff suddenly struck out like lightning in four directions. After four enormous staff shadows flashed past, four yellow hurricanes surged skyward, sweeping away the surrounding pink light, and her body finally stabilized once more.

But at this moment, He Yan's face was filled with extreme shock and fury. Her gaze towards Baohua even faintly revealed a trace of fear, and she couldn't help but ponder in her heart:

"This is the Profound Sky Spirit Domain. Under its shroud, one cannot utilize any external spiritual energy from heaven and earth. One can only use their own magical power to resist the previous attack head-on. As a result, for beings at the Grand Ascension stage like them, seventy to eighty percent of their divine abilities are effectively nullified! No wonder even Tian Qi, whose magical powers and divine abilities far surpassed hers, immediately fled without a second thought upon recognizing the divine ability Baohua used."

As she thought of her senior brother, the old woman cast aside her inner fear and hurriedly turned her head to look in the other direction.

She saw that at the distant edge of the pink world, Tian Qi had, at some unknown point, been intercepted by countless phantom giant flowers. The blood light he had transformed into thrashed about like a startled dragon in the center, shattering the flower phantoms wherever it passed.

But in the nearby void, even more pink phantoms immediately appeared, swarming in layer after layer.

With the overwhelming momentum of the blood light, in just a few flashes, it consecutively broke through more than a dozen layers of obstruction, seemingly about to break out of the Flower Realm in one go.

But at this moment, Baohua, who remained unmoving at the center of the Profound Sky Flower Realm, smiled faintly and lightly formed a hand seal with one hand.

The pink flower tree held in her other palm suddenly emitted a brilliant glow from its entire body. Countless pink runes surged out from it, swirling madly around Baohua.

The red-clothed old woman only felt the surrounding void blur, and the scenery suddenly changed, inexplicably finding herself in another part of the Flower Realm.

"The Grand Teleportation Art!"

The old woman exclaimed, and hastily scanned her surroundings again.

She saw that the blood light, which should have been at the edge, now suddenly appeared thirty feet away, once again surrounded by layers of phantom giant flowers.

The old woman hesitated for a moment. Before she could decide whether to lend a hand, the void near her rippled, and countless pink flower phantoms also emerged, swarming towards her in dense numbers.

The old woman's face turned pale, but she immediately gritted her teeth, threw her staff forward, and it instantly transformed into a white goose about ten feet tall, its eyes glowing golden, its wings flapping.

*Swoosh-swoosh* sounds of tearing through the air erupted loudly!

Dense wind blades suddenly appeared around the white crane, abruptly shooting out in all directions.

Meanwhile, the old woman formed a hand seal with both hands, then slapped her head. Her crown opened up, and a stream of yellow mist surged out from it.

The yellow mist churned, and a sharp shriek emerged from it, surprisingly transforming into a ghost face the size of a pavilion.

Half of the ghost face was a breathtakingly beautiful woman's visage, while the other half was a terrifying, fanged, green-faced monstrosity. As soon as the shriek stopped, it opened its mouth and spewed out a blast of demonic wind.

The moment this demonic wind erupted, the nearby void immediately became filled with flying sand and stones, turning into a hazy, gray expanse. It violently surged outwards in all directions, seemingly intending to create its own domain within this Flower Realm.

On the other side, Tian Qi, realizing that a swift escape was unlikely, retracted his blood light. With a shake of his body, he transformed into a blood-red phantom demonic lion, over a hundred feet tall. A torrent of blood energy surged out from his body, instantly forming a vast sea of blood mist, sweeping towards the surrounding flower phantoms.

For a moment, these two demons seemed poised to usurp control within the Flower Realm!

Seeing this scene, Baohua's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She couldn't help but let out a soft sigh and finally gently shook the flower tree in her hand.

In an instant, a strange sight appeared.

The hundreds of pink giant flowers that had originally adorned the branches simultaneously flickered and gently floated down from the tree.

"Go!"

Baohua swept her fragrant sleeve towards these pink flowers while uttering a soft cry.

The next moment, *pfft-pfft* sounds were heard.

After the pink flowers flew into the sky, they surprisingly transformed into clusters of demonic flames, and instantly merged into one, becoming a sea of pink fire.

The sea of fire was initially only about an acre in size, but upon contact with the flower phantoms emerging in the nearby void, they surprisingly also turned into pink demonic flames, spreading wildly in all directions.

In just a few breaths, the entire sky above the Flower Realm had astonishingly transformed into a sea of demonic flames. Then, after Baohua muttered a few incantations below, the entire sea of fire let out a roar and pressed down menacingly onto the two demons below.

Seeing this situation, Tian Qi and He Yan both had their expressions change drastically. After exchanging a knowing glance, they surprisingly each took out a blood-red pill from their robes and consumed it.

The aura around both of them instantly surged dramatically, and they desperately activated their demonic arts.

These two unfortunate demons were considered top-tier Grand Ascension stage beings in the demon realm. However, within the Flower Realm, they were completely unable to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They could only brace themselves and consume pills that stimulated their potential to forcefully resist the pink demonic flames.

In a short while, the demonic flames swirling down from high in the sky completely engulfed the two demons within them. The entire Profound Sky Flower Realm became a world of fire!

At this point, the pink flower tree became bare, and its size was noticeably reduced by more than a fifth compared to before.

As for Baohua, the moment her incantation abruptly ceased, her jade-like face instantly turned red and then pale several times in succession.

Afterward, the goddess's expression turned a bit grim. After a bitter smile, she also took out a white pill from her sleeve and swallowed it.

This Demon Ancestor immediately sat down cross-legged, hugged the flower tree in her arms, and caused layers of crystalline light, like glazed glass, to appear on her body. With her eyes closed, she began to focus on activating the treasure. She knew well that with the terrifying cultivation of veteran Saint Ancestors like Tian Qi and He Yan, even without the aid of heaven and earth spiritual energy, trying to forcefully refine them with demonic flames would still be an extremely difficult task. She had no choice but to prepare for a long-term siege. Thus, time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, several days had gone by.

And when the seventh day arrived, the Flower Realm, originally filled with pink demonic flames, suddenly trembled, surprisingly showing signs of instability.

From within the rolling pink demonic flames, two long roars immediately echoed. A black-red fireball and a mass of blood light surprisingly shot out from within, seizing a fleeting crack that appeared in the Flower Realm. With incredible escape speed, they instantly pierced through the realm's boundary with a flash, and fled towards the horizon without hesitation.

"Wretched wench! So you haven't fully recovered your Grand Ascension cultivation after all! The next time we meet, it will surely be your death!" Inside the rapidly departing fireball, there was vaguely a several-inch-tall baby girl, who shrieked with extreme shrillness.

After a few flashes, the fireball and blood light completely vanished at the edge of the horizon.

A long sigh escaped her lips!

Baohua opened her beautiful eyes, her face filled with regret.

Without seeing any specific action from her, the rolling demonic flames that were being dissolved suddenly began to retract and shrink on their own. In the blink of an eye, they re-condensed into more than a dozen pink giant flowers, drifting back onto the flower tree, and firmly re-grew upon it.

Almost simultaneously, the entire Profound Sky Spirit Domain, after a "bang" sound, completely disintegrated and collapsed, vanishing into thin air as specks of spiritual light.

The flower tree in Baohua's hand also instantly shrank, and finally transformed into a pink orb of light, which she inhaled into her abdomen.

"It was a failure after all! Although their physical bodies were refined into ashes, with their divine abilities, they can recover their original strength in just a few hundred years. It seems I will have to deal with them several more times in the future." Baohua murmured to herself, and with a movement of her delicate body, she was about to stand upright. But immediately, a flush of deep red flashed across the white-clothed woman's face, and her delicate body swayed, almost failing to stand up.

Baohua hurriedly swept her divine sense inwards, and as a result, her beautiful face instantly became extremely grim.

"This is big trouble. This time, it's truly a case of 'harming a thousand enemies, but suffering eight hundred wounds yourself.' My already somewhat severe injuries have now worsened to such an extent. Even with the spirit medicine at hand, it will be impossible to recover my original divine abilities without two to three hundred years. It's a pity my Profound Sky Spirit Domain has only just achieved a superficial level of mastery; otherwise, if I could truly have killed these two opponents, this loss would not have been significant.

"I should return to the Spirit Realm and recuperate properly first." Baohua sighed softly again, then with a flick of her sleeve, a swirling pink light flared, and she instantly vanished from her spot.

On top of a not-so-tall gray-white hill, Han Li stood, his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance.

In the direction he was looking, several miles away, there was a massive lake whose boundaries could not be seen at a glance.

The lake's surface was exceptionally azure, and faint white small fish could vaguely be seen swimming about on its surface, giving it a vibrant appearance.

"It truly lives up to its name, Blue Waterfall Lake. This lake is indeed very different from other rivers and lakes in the Demon Realm." Han Li finally withdrew his gaze and softly murmured to himself.

Not far behind him, a clean-faced young man stood calmly. Beside him was a beautiful young girl with wide eyes—it was Zhu Guo'er.

At this moment, this young girl from the Small Spirit Heaven, after personally witnessing Han Li's several battles with high-ranking demons, naturally no longer had any doubts about Han Li's identity.

And the way her eyes darted about at this moment clearly showed she was much more lively than before, and she couldn't help but speak:

"Senior Han," she began, "didn't we inquire before coming here that a Demon Saint Ancestor personally resides at Blue Waterfall Lake? Is it really appropriate for us to come here?"

"Hmm, you're referring to the Blue Waterfall Saint Ancestor," Han Li replied with a slight smile. "That demon has dominated Blue Waterfall Lake for so many years, showing his divine abilities are indeed considerable. However, I am determined to obtain the Bloodfang Rice, and I must make this trip, even if it means taking some risks. Moreover, to my knowledge, the Blue Waterfall Saint Ancestor has been in seclusion for many years and may not necessarily be in the lake right now. Currently, only one of his avatars and two disciples are openly guarding Blue Waterfall Lake."
