Chapter 2270: True Immortal Descends Girl

After a phoenix cry, a burst of five-colored light suddenly erupted from the shattered jade token, enveloping Bao.

The nearby space vibrated, and Bao's body blurred, on the verge of vanishing into thin air.

But at this moment, a cold, delicate voice suddenly drifted from below:

"Since you've arrived, there's no need to rush."

As soon as the voice fell, the water surface below suddenly parted, and a blurry shadow flashed out.

With a loud "bang," Bao's delicate body trembled as she was sent flying by an irresistible force. The layer of five-colored light enveloping her body shattered and vanished instantly.

She flew blurrily for about forty to fifty zhang before she managed to stabilize herself and stop. Her face was unusually crimson, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh red blood.

This single blow had immediately wounded her vital energy.

This was also because she was exceptionally quick-witted; the moment the immense force reached her, she immediately channeled all her magical power into her protective aura. Otherwise, even if she hadn't died on the spot from that blow, it certainly would not have been as simple as just spitting a mouthful of blood.

The others witnessing this scene were naturally greatly shocked!

Han Li's gaze sharpened, and he saw a small, dark figure where Bao had originally stood.

A child who looked no older than eleven or twelve was slowly withdrawing a small fist, gazing at all the Mahayana cultivators present with a half-smile.

This child had slightly dark skin and wore an extremely plain black tight-fitting garment. Her appearance was ordinary, but her eyes were entirely grayish-white, as if she were born blind. Yet, a dark, gleaming crystal was embedded between her eyebrows. At first glance, it seemed remarkably similar to the crystal left behind after the giant insect in the sky vanished, only it was even darker and deeper, as if it could absorb all light, and its size was several times smaller.

Bao had actually been sent flying by her single punch.

The moment the child's gaze turned towards Han Li, his heart skipped a beat, a strange chill shot up his spine, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

As for the other Mahayana cultivators, when the child's grayish-white eyes swept over them, they all felt a great chill in their hearts.

Although the child did not reveal her identity, her ability to appear in this void and send Bao, a former Saint Ancestor, flying with a single blow left no doubt. It was most likely the true Mother of the Nymph Worms.

As for what the giant insect that had just vanished was, no one cared anymore. They all stared intently at the child, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

After all, no one, including Han Li, had been able to clearly see the punch that sent Bao flying.

This showed how strangely swift the child's movements were.

Among those present, the only one with no expression at all was probably Reverend Crab.

But as he expressionlessly gazed at the child in the air, rumbling sounds emanated from his body, and streaks of silver lightning arcs autonomously activated, transforming into a lightning robe that enveloped him.

"An immortal puppet, how interesting. I never thought that after so many years, I would still see such a thing in the lower realm!" the child remarked, her gaze sweeping over Han Li and the others before finally resting on Reverend Crab with a hint of interest.

"So you are the true Mother of the Nymph Worms!" Bao asked the child slowly, finally dispelling the bloody qi in her mouth. Her expression was surprisingly calm.

"Hmph, what do you mean 'true'?" the child snorted coldly, raising an eyebrow, her voice exceptionally delicate. "What you just destroyed was a shell I shed a hundred thousand years ago. It originally had great use, but now it's ruined by your hands. Now, how do you intend to compensate me?"

"A shell. So your true body was hidden underwater," Bao said with a change in expression, then sighed. "What an excellent cicada shedding its shell technique! However, I never imagined that you could directly break the Great Teleportation Art of the Phoenix Spirit Treasure Plate—that's true Heavenly Phoenix power!"

"'The Phoenix Spirit Treasure Plate! That thing that contains a trace of the Heavenly Phoenix's power of law! A mere inanimate object. Even if it can manipulate some spatial power, attempting to use it in front of me is utterly ridiculous. Although I never fought the true spirit Heavenly Phoenix myself, I have devoured at least seven or eight, if not more than ten, powerful beings from the Phoenix clan,'" the child said with a hint of disdain, curling her lips.

These words sent a chill through the black-robed woman, who had already quietly gripped other Phoenix Spirit Plates in her hands. Even though she knew she shouldn't fully believe the opponent's words, for a moment, no one dared to act rashly.

Han Li's heart also sank slightly.

However, someone simply didn't believe the opponent's words, having decided to stay far away and being very confident in the power of the Phoenix Spirit Plate.

This person was precisely the red-faced burly man. His eyes flashed with strange light, then he suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a Phoenix Spirit Plate flashed into his palm, shattering instantly.

A similar flash of five-colored light instantly enveloped the burly man, and at the same time, a spatial fluctuation appeared on his body.

The red-faced burly man had anticipated this. He let out a loud shout, and his bone blade suddenly slashed out.

With an earth-shattering roar, a colossal blade mountain, like a towering peak, instantly enveloped the black shadow opposite and tore it into countless fragments.

"Hahaha..." The burly man burst into wild laughter. Not caring if the previous blow had truly harmed his opponent, the five-colored light on his body suddenly condensed, and his body blurred, about to teleport directly.

He naturally had the right to laugh loudly!

Everyone else was intimidated by the Mother of the Nymph Worms' threats, not daring to use the Phoenix Spirit Treasure Plate to move out of this space, yet he was the only one who had managed to do so.

Moreover, it was very likely that he was the only one among them who could escape with his life. How could this not make the burly man feel a bit smug?

Suddenly, a scream came from the burly man, and his laughter abruptly ceased.

A slender arm extended, passing through his protective aura and personal battle armor as if they were nothing. It was the child, who had appeared like a ghost directly behind the burly man, at arm's reach.

The child's arm seemed like an indestructible divine weapon; the five-colored light emitted by the Phoenix Spirit Plate was utterly incapable of obstructing her figure in the slightest.

After the child let out a clear giggle, her small palm flipped over, and a half-foot tall crimson miniature figure was easily clutched in her hand by five fingers, struggling desperately to break free, but to no avail.

It was precisely the red-faced burly man's perfected Nascent Soul, cultivated for an unknown number of years.

The child immediately opened her mouth, and a black line flashed out, striking the burly man's body.

With a "poof," the burly man's body instantly flashed with black light, rapidly withered and decayed, finally turning into a puff of dust that vanished into thin air.

"No! It's the Law of Time! Fellow Daoists, save me!"

When the burly man's Nascent Soul saw this scene, his face was filled with extreme terror, and he struggled even more desperately in the child's hand, frantically crying for help.

When Bao heard the words "Law of Time," she was greatly shocked, revealing an expression of disbelief.

The old man and the black-robed woman had initially been eager to step in and help, but upon hearing this, they exchanged glances, revealing expressions of extreme fear.

Han Li, however, was slightly startled upon hearing this, and showed a thoughtful expression.

At this moment, the child stared at the miniature figure in her hand. After a strange light flickered in her eyes, her face suddenly showed a drooling expression. With a movement of her arm, she actually bit off half of the burly man's Nascent Soul in one gulp and swallowed it in a few bites, as if savoring a delicacy.

The burly man's Nascent Soul let out a shriek and immediately fainted. Although its body vaguely returned to its original state, the light on its surface dimmed by more than half, and its aura became almost nonexistent.

Bao's expression slightly changed, and she slightly raised her arm as if to do something, but it was already too late.

After the child giggled again, her arm moved swiftly, and she swallowed the entire Nascent Soul of the burly man in a few gulps. Then she raised her small face and licked her lips a few times, showing an expression of still wanting more.

This expression, which should have been quite cute, in the eyes of the other Mahayana cultivators present, instantly became as terrifying as an evil spirit.

Not only were the ancient-looking old man and the black-robed woman's faces unusually pale, but Bao also closed her mouth, her expression shifting uncertainly.

Han Li appeared relatively calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with horror. He waved at Reverend Crab, causing him to immediately flash and teleport to his side. Only then did his thoughts race as he stared at the child.

The situation seemed dire!

This Mother of the Nymph Worms was actually so powerful, wounding Bao with a single move and easily killing a fellow Mahayana cultivator, directly devouring his Nascent Soul.

This was far more powerful than originally expected.

No, this vicious insect had clearly just awakened. How could it have instantly recovered such powerful divine abilities?

Hadn't the spirit of the seal already used all its power to suppress this insect's strength?

If the Mother of the Nymph Worms, while still suppressed by the seal's power, still possessed the ability to instantly kill a Mahayana cultivator, wouldn't she have long since dominated countless realms in ancient times? How could one or two True Immortals have truly suppressed and sealed her?

Han Li was not an ordinary cultivator after all, and he instantly thought of the suspicious point.

But before he could think of contacting others, his ears suddenly stirred, and Bao's clear voice reached him:

"Brother Han," Bao's voice said clearly, "the person before us is not the true body of the Mother of the Nymph Worms, but merely an incarnation formed by her primordial spirit leaving her body. Therefore, apart from Profound Heaven treasures, other treasures can hardly cause her harm. She has only grasped a superficial understanding of the Law of Time and cannot easily use it. Each time she uses it, her primordial spirit will instantly diminish by a fraction. As long as we protect ourselves with Profound Heaven treasures, we don't need to be intimidated by her."

"How do you know such details, Fellow Daoist?" Han Li asked in surprise, transmitting his voice back.

"The spirit of the seal secretly communicated with me and just informed me," Bao replied with a bitter smile. "Now, let's join forces to tie her down, allowing the other Daoists to go underwater and completely destroy her true body. Once her true body is gone, her remaining primordial spirit will no longer be a threat."
