Chapter 879: Temporarily Avoiding Brilliance
“Boom!!!”
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a blue light circle spanning ten miles took shape, with terrifying power fluctuations continuously surging, and extreme heat rippling within.
Amidst the blinding blue spiritual light, the spiritual pressure belonging to “heavenly lotus true monarch” plummeted like a cliff, becoming increasingly faint and weak.
Until eventually, it completely vanished.
Facing a direct hit from “Nebula Flicker,” the heavenly lotus was left with only the defense of a fourth-tier high-quality spiritual talisman, but that defense had already lost a significant portion of its power from previous attacks.
Against the full force of “Nebula Flicker,” it could only hold on for a short while before breaking apart.
In an instant, the heavenly lotus, along with its yuan ying, was reduced to ashes within the nuclear explosion-like blue light circle.
Of course, its storage bracelet, under Liu Yu's careful control, remained intact and was not destroyed.
With powerful spiritual consciousness, he could precisely control the power of each strike, ensuring that not a single bit was wasted.
This was exceedingly difficult for low-level cultivators, but for a yuan ying true monarch, it was trivial.
Many times in duels between high-level cultivators, the aftermath could turn the environment upside down, not because they couldn't do fine control, but because they were unwilling to expend the effort to do so.
Compared to conserving a bit of power, it was better to use a little less mental energy and focus on deploying new techniques or on offense and defense.
Why care about the lives and deaths of ants?
“Almost done.”
Watching the brilliant "fireworks" in the night sky, Liu Yu nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied.
Then, with a thought, the blue light circle formed by “Nebula Flicker” quickly dimmed, its power swiftly dissipating under his active control.
“Whoosh~”
After half a breath, Liu Yu shot out a stream of magical power, transforming it into a blue streak of light heading toward the place where the heavenly lotus fell.
Before long, this blue streak of light returned with a storage bracelet decorated with a pink flower.
“Not bad.”
“With this, although I didn’t get the pure yang true treasure, this trip can still be considered complete.”
After glancing at the storage bracelet adorned with a pink flower, Liu Yu smiled and pocketed it.
The bracelet still contained the spiritual consciousness imprint and magical power aura of the heavenly lotus, which couldn’t be refined immediately, so he naturally couldn't check the spoils on the spot.
“For this, I might offend a great cultivator.”
“But with so many rare spiritual herbs, it’s worth it.”
“The evil eye is still ostracized in the righteous path; could it run rampant in the Seven Nations Alliance? Just need to be a bit careful on usual days.”
Seeing this scene, Ink Plum also revealed a smile.
Although she was only assisting, she played a role in restraining the enemy; to harvest such a bountiful reward so easily made her mood quite pleasant.
“Killing and snatching treasures, the speed of accumulation is so fast, far exceeding normal operations.”
“No wonder in the cultivating immortality world, so many cultivators, both openly and secretly, don’t mind doing a big job.”
“Once they experience how quickly spiritual stones come this way, returning to slow management will feel unbearable as they watch resources increase at a snail's pace!”
“Killing and snatching treasures can indeed become addictive, even forming a path dependency.”
“With the first time, the second and third times are very likely to follow.”
Not far away, watching Liu Yu obtain the heavenly lotus’s storage bracelet, Ink Plum couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
However, she was ultimately a yuan ying cultivator and quickly gathered her thoughts, expertly dealing with the aftermath of the duel and eliminating their presence.
The yuan ying cultivator moved swiftly; in just two or three breaths, Ink Plum had handled the scene.
