"Pfft......"

  The golden spear was withdrawn from Qin Lingyun's chest, and Qin Xiaoyun floated in the bloody light. She held the golden spear in her hand, without a single stain of blood on it. The golden flames wrapped around the spear, jumping and dancing ceaselessly. A pale red gauze dress perfectly showcased Qin Xiaoyun's slender and elegant figure, while an absolutely beautiful face wore a hint of viciousness and madness in its smile.

  "What does it feel like to be pierced by the Golden Flame Spear? Your body is completely penetrated, Qin Lingyun, isn't it enjoyable to have your blood drained?"

  Qin Lingyun wanted to speak, but she couldn't say a word. The power of her foundation period had completely left her body, and her right chest was fully penetrated. Such pain was unimaginable.

  Pale purple blood gushed out, Qin Lingyun's ears and eyes were filled with buzzing sounds, the entire world was twisting and deforming, and her body's strength was being drained away thread by thread.

  Her mouth was full of fresh blood, slowly dripping from the corner of her mouth, falling on her pale face like ice jade, and dripping onto the hem of her embroidered shirt.

  Qin Xiaoyun's vicious smile was becoming increasingly muffled in Qin Lingyun's ears, not because Qin Xiaoyun had intentionally lowered her voice, but because Qin Lingyun's senses were gradually fading away.

  This is an omen of death

  In this world, whether it's an ordinary person or a cultivator, except for the legendary true immortals, everyone will have that day of death. Death itself is not the most painful thing, because people come from nothingness and return to nothingness, which can also be considered a kind of homecoming.

  The most painful thing is when you are about to leave this world, yet there are so many things that you cannot bear to part with.

  Originally thought to be a heartless and selfish cultivator, Qin Lingyun's mind involuntarily replayed scenes from the past on the eve of her impending death.

  Picking blue mushrooms with my sister under the setting sun at Luoxia Mountain...

  Sitting around the table with my father, mother, brother and sister eating dinner, my mother's warm and loving smile, my father's rough but caring face, my brother's pampering, my sister's happy laughter...

  The first setback she encountered, the comfort and care of her family, as well as the unexpected encounter with the blue mushroom, led her to embark on a path of spiritual cultivation.

  The first encounter with the blood-sucking lion beast, the unexpected meeting with Young Master Zhao Xiang, and the first meeting with Star Emperor...

  One by one, the scenes that left a deep impression on Qin Lingyun's mind quickly flashed through her brain.

  What is the purpose of cultivating immortality? In the vast and obscure universe, Qin Lingyun asked her own heart, her Dao heart was trembling, wandering.

  Is cultivating immortality with all one's might and main, just to abandon all emotions, like a stubborn rock overlooking the earth, unmoving as a mountain?

  If it is so, then even if she has seen through longevity in the end of her cultivation, she will no longer be herself and there will be no difference between her and the mountains, forests and trees.

  Retain all your emotions to cultivate immortality, control everything in your hands, I will set all the laws, heaven and earth will perish but I won't, laws will disappear but I won't.

  Qin Lingyun's Dao heart gradually became clear through repeated contemplation, and the black lotus under her sitting figure suddenly emitted a burst of black light, swirling inside her body. Qin Lingyun's severely damaged body surprisingly stopped collapsing further, although blood was still flowing, it was getting slower and slower. The illusions in her mind were disappearing one by one, and her heart was becoming clearer and clearer.

  Qin Lingyun was half-kneeling on the ground, her palms supporting the blood-red mud, and under her body, there was already a patch of pale purple blood. Qin Lingyun didn't even notice that this blood had slowly seeped into the mud.

  As the Dao heart solidifies, Qin Lingyun has gradually embarked on the path of forming her own Dao. This Dao is profound and far-reaching, extending to the back to communicate with the heavenly laws, forming a unique Xian domain.

  Under the intervention of Dao Xin, Qin Lingyun's body began to no longer collapse. At this time, the strong physique of her physical body was revealed. The ice crystal demon corpse that Qin Lingyun cultivated had an extremely strong recovery ability. Such injuries would have killed ordinary cultivators long ago, but the existence of the ice crystal demon corpse allowed Qin Lingyun to preserve a precious thread of life. As long as she was given a period of careful nursing, such severe injuries could still be recovered from.

  But Qin Lingyun's temporary escape from death did not mean she had escaped danger. Qin Xiaoyun was watching her from a distance, with a mocking and crazy smile on his face. In the bloody sky, it was unknown how many dangers were still hidden. With Qin Lingyun's current state, it would be difficult for her to get past this.

  "What to do now?" Qin Lingyun's body was still completely devoid of energy, she didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone mobilize her spiritual power. The previous blow not only caused unprecedented injuries to her body but also scorched her soul with the golden flames burning on the surface of the Golden Spear.

  Those golden flames and hellfire have similar properties, both are flames that directly attack the soul. That golden spear is at least a low-grade treasure, but I don't know why Qin Xiaoyun, a cultivator of the 12th layer of Qi Refining, can use it. However, Qin Lingyun doesn't have time to think about that now, as she still faces the crisis of death.

  Qin Xiaoyun stepped forward in the void, her hand lifted, and a cluster of auspicious clouds flew out of the spiritual beast bag, instantly transforming into a massive three-headed flying lion. Six sharp lion eyes stared tightly at Qin Lingyun.

  At this time, a purple light and a golden light flashed in the storage bag at Qin Lingyun's waist. The blood-sucking lion beast and the golden little beast actually came out of the spiritual beast bag together. This was something that had never happened before. Although there was not much animosity between the Golden Little Beast and the Blood-Sucking Lion Beast, they had always avoided cooperating with each other. They both had their own pride.

  But this time Qin Lingyun encountered a huge crisis, at the critical moment, the blood-sucking lion beast and the golden little beast also decided to join forces against the enemy, determined to defeat them.

  Three-headed flying lion flew over quickly, the loud sound echoed in the air, double wings spread out, one dive, the middle lion head's huge mouth slightly opened, and a gray light ball sprayed out from inside.

  In an instant, a burst of air exploded beside the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast and the Golden Little Beast, sending them both flying backward.

  It's just a probe, and it can be seen that this three-headed flying lion is already close to being a second-order demon beast, only one step away from smoothly crossing the boundary of the second order.

  To deal with the three-headed flying lion, it is necessary for the blood-sucking lion beast and the golden little beast to join forces. In fact, in front of the powerful demon eagle, the blood-sucking lion beast and the golden little beast transformed into a golden alligator can only compete with the three-headed flying lion. It can be imagined how strong this three-headed flying lion is.

  "Your spiritual beast has been intercepted by my three-headed flying lion, Qin Lingyun. With your last breath, do you have any more magical treasures or divine powers that haven't been used yet? If not, I don't mind sending you to hell!"

  Qin Xiaoyun gazed fearlessly at Qin Lingyun, whose entire body was stained with pale purple blood. Although she was somewhat perplexed as to why Qin Lingyun's blood was pale purple, she didn't think much of it. Many cultivators who practiced special techniques would undergo physical changes, and a mere change in blood color wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

  Qin Xiaoyun stepped step by step towards Qin Lingyun, her hand grasping the Golden Flame Spear, like a god of death about to pronounce Qin Lingyun's death sentence.

  This time if Qin Xiao Yun strikes again, even with the help of Dao Xin and the strong recovery power of Bing Jing Mo Jue itself, Qin Ling Yun would not know what to do.

  Qin Xiaoyun raised the Golden Flame Spear and instantly thrust it towards Qin Lingyun like a flash of lightning.

  At this critical moment, the Ice Crystal Blood Lotus that had been dormant on Qin Lingyun's arm suddenly awakened from its slumber. If Qin Lingyun were to die, it would lose its host for the second time, and an Ice Crystal Blood Lotus that has lost its host twice would no longer have any hope of survival.

  Bing Jing's Blood Ink Lotus burst out with a powerful icy aura, and in an instant it detonated nearly half of the icy aura within her body. In front of Qin Lingyun, a thick and massive ice shield spontaneously formed, just in time to block the Golden Flame Spear's attack.

  A lot of the remaining icy energy of Bing Jing Xue naturally flowed into Qin Lingyun's body, connecting the Ice Spirit Root and Dark Spirit Root with a delicate, crystal-like bridge that seemed to exist and yet not exist at the same time.

  At the moment when Ice Spirit Root and Dark Spirit Root communicated with each other, Qin Lingyun's mind buzzed, and a strange wave rose from behind her.

  In Qin Xiaoyun's eyes, Qin Lingyun suddenly unfolded an ice shield. The golden flame spear collided with the ice shield, but the powerful golden flame spear was unable to penetrate the thick layer of ice in an instant.

  Then, a strange power surged out of Qin Lingyun's body, space twisted, and Qin Xiaoyun's eyes blurred. The crimson soil that was originally in front of her turned into an endless blue ocean, the waves howling, and a large patch of giant black lotus flowers rapidly grew on the surface of the sea.

  And yet, this eerie scene had attached a huge power to Qin Xiaoyun's body, as if it was going to tear her apart. The golden flame spear in her hand felt like it weighed ten thousand catties and she couldn't lift it up no matter what. Qin Xiaoyun urged on her spiritual energy and barely managed to grab onto the golden flame spear, but her body looked disheveled from withstanding that eerie and enormous pressure.

  "What the hell is this? Is it an illusion? The words didn't jump. Qin Xiaoyun was extremely shocked in her heart, she found that the strange disappearance of Qin Lingyun in front of her eyes had slowly reappeared, and she was shocked with her mouth agape."

  Qin Lingyun's face was devoid of a single smile, yet she looked exceptionally enchanting and demonic. Her entire being radiated an aura that seemed to pierce the sky, as if she had cultivated a powerful magical technique. She sat cross-legged in the center of a massive black lotus, her fingers forming a hand seal that resembled plucking flowers. Most eerily, behind her head was a ring of dark light.

  A halo behind her head, this is the symbol of a top-tier Great Demon God in legend. How could Qin Lingyun, who was only at the Refining Qi stage, possibly have an aura?

  Qin Xiaoyun couldn't understand, but the pressure on her body was getting heavier and heavier. The black lotus flowers surrounded her, the blue ocean roared, as if it wanted to drag Qin Xiaoyun into the depths of the sea.
