"Rumble rumble...
The rune radiated seven-colored divine light as it struggled wildly. Bai Shishi's jade hand split open, blood splattered, staining her white clothes red, like scattered plum blossoms.
Bai Shishi gripped the rune tightly, giving it her all. She sensed the golden power contained within it—it was boundless. Long Chen hadn't lied to her—this rune was what she had dreamed of, and she could not let it go, even in death.
"Hurry up and use your will to subdue it, or we'll run out of time." More than ten breaths had passed, and Bai Shishi still couldn't suppress it. Long Chen sensed something was wrong and shouted to warn her.
In fact, without Long Chen's reminder, Bai Shishi was already desperately fighting, but this legendary seven-colored rune contained her own Heavenly Dao will, making it hard to yield.
"Whew!"
After such a long period of persistence, the blood from Bai Shishi's palm finally merged into the rune. In an instant, the rune was imprinted on her jade-like hand, leaving a seven-colored mark that merged into her body.
Bai Shishi was overjoyed, when suddenly Long Chen's voice sounded in her ear: "Left side."
Without thinking, Bai Shishi's bloodied jade hand reached out to the left. As the void trembled, she grabbed another rune.
Everyone cried out in surprise. The rune fell into Bai Shishi's hand, radiating purple divine light—it was actually a seventh-grade Heavenly Dao rune.
"Buzz"—
the seventh-grade rune also radiated light, trying to break free from Bai Shishi's grip. However, compared to the supreme rune, its power was noticeably weaker. Bai Shishi trembled violently but was unharmed.
Bai Shishi desperately suppressed the seventh-grade rune, but the rune refused to be subdued and struggled wildly. For a moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Because at this time, the heavenly tribulation had already begun to fade, signaling that it was about to end and there was not enough time.
At the same time, people have also raised a problem: without real ability, even if given a chance, you won't be able to seize it.
Not to mention the hidden supreme runes—even a seventh-grade rune wouldn't take them the time it takes to burn an incense stick of incense. By then, the tribulation would end and everything would be over.
So greed is useless. Without the strength, forcing a capture will only harm oneself. With such terrifying strength as Bai Shishi, even this is difficult, let alone anyone else.
Originally, Long Chen had guided Bai Shishi to catch supreme runes, giving everyone hope. If Long Chen had his guidance, wouldn't everyone have the best Heavenly Dao runes? But now, it seems that was nothing but wishful thinking.
"Buzz"—
finally, the rune was subdued by Bai Shishi. At that moment, the endless heavenly tribulation trembled, and the runes filling the sky instantly dimmed and finally vanished.
But what was comforting was that at the very instant the tribulation dissipated, Bai Shishi grabbed fiercely in the void, grabbing two runes at once. The blue light of the runes flickered briefly before she absorbed them.
At the very moment the tribulation dissipated, Bai Shishi narrowly managed to grab two runes—both fifth-grade runes, which was truly a stroke of luck.
Whether it's seventh-grade or sixth-grade runes, both have strong resistance. Bai Shishi needs to use strength to subdue them, and only runes below fifth grade can be absorbed instantly with her strength.
These two fifth-grade Heavenly Dao runes were the best choice for her. For her final strike, one rune was pre-observed, while the other was a stroke of luck.
After the tribulation faded, Bai Shishi also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a wave of weakness throughout her body, as if she could fall at any moment.
The disciples of the Celestial Maiden Alliance hurried forward to support her. Bai Shishi's face was pale, her mental strength nearly exhausted, but her eyes were filled with excitement.
"Long Chen, thank you so much for this time." Supported by everyone, Bai Shishi came before Long Chen and, for the first time, expressed her gratitude to him.
That supreme rune merged into her body, and in an instant, she felt her bloodline rune undergo a dramatic transformation. Her sensitivity to the golden power of heaven and earth was several times higher than before.
Moreover, her golden power was undergoing some kind of mutation. Although she didn't know what it was, she had a premonition that once she fully fused the runes and officially advanced to the Four Extremes Realm, her power would undergo a dramatic transformation.
A top-grade Gold Power rune and a seventh-grade Soul Power rune were both gifts from Long Chen. This favor was truly immense.
Long Chen smiled slightly: "I'm the type who likes to talk nonsense. If I got it right, you don't need to thank me. I just hope that when I say something wrong, you won't beat me to death." As
soon as Long Chen spoke, many people burst out laughing. Previously, Long Chen had been talking nonsense and deliberately teasing Fairy Shishi. Fairy Shishi had previously scolded Long Chen, saying if he kept talking nonsense, she'd beat him to death.
Hearing Long Chen's words, Bai Shishi's expression immediately darkened. She thought Long Chen was mocking her, so Long Chen quickly waved his hand: "
We're all so familiar with each other, just joking. Don't get so worked up. If you do, I won't dare talk to you anymore."
By the way, the last two runes you grabbed—what runes are they? I didn't see them clearly. Hearing
Long Chen say this, Bai Shishi's expression softened. After spending so much time with Long Chen, this guy really was a carefree guy who liked to joke around, but meant no harm.
Bai Shishi spoke: "One is a bloodline rune, and the other is quite uncomfortable—it's actually an earth-element rune." Bloodline
runes can enhance the power of flesh and blood, making her body stronger and her movements more agile. However, the other earth-element rune made her feel uncomfortable. She was a pure Gold cultivator, and this earth-element rune was useless to her, leaving her feeling a bit frustrated.
"Earth runes are great." Long Chen and Bai Shishi's mother said at the same time.
"What?" Bai Shishi was taken aback.
Bai Shishi's mother shot her a look: "You silly child, besides foolishly cultivating, you never learn anything else?"
Earth can generate metal; when metal is abundant, earth transforms; Strong earth with metal helps control its blockage; the two complement each other. With the power of earth, your metal power becomes more solid and easier to control. Long
Chen interjected, "With the power of earth and the power of metal, it has a place to attach to. When it circulates, there will be a trace of gentleness that perfectly compensates for your shortcomings. In a word, it's down-to-earth." Long
Chen's words made Bai Shishi laugh. Long Chen and his mother clearly preferred the runes of earth power, proving that earth runes were even more precious. Bai Shishi was instantly in a great mood.
"Long Chen, how did you see through the Heavenly Dao runes? Could it be that your eyes ... Sorry. Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen, whose eye was still covered by a blindfold, and hurriedly apologized and stopped talking.
One of Long Chen's eyes was injured due to the power of the Three Flower Eyes, and the injury was extremely severe. Bai Shishi secretly asked Bai Xiaole's mother, who said that Long Chen had forcibly used the Heavenly Eye technique beyond his own limits, suffering a powerful backlash from the Heavenly Dao and posing a risk of blindness.
To avoid hurting Long Chen's heart, everyone kept silent about that eye, but just now, in her excitement, she forgot about it.
Long Chen laughed heartily and said, "What are you all thinking?" My eyes just need to rest for a while, so there's no need to be so concerned.
The reason I can sense the runes within the thunder is because ever since I entered the cultivation world, I've been dealing with them all along—I've long been used to it.
If anyone should be the one apologizing, it should be me. I didn't expect your willpower to be so weak, almost ruining you. Bai
Shishi glared at Long Chen. Long Chen said she had weak willpower and was clearly making her lose face. But since Long Chen didn't mind talking about his eyes, she felt embarrassed to say anything.
After everyone dispersed, Bai Shishi's mother left Long Chen alone and said, "
Have you sensed that evil power?"
