"This is troublesome..."
Vivian's expression turned grim as she saw the Void Spirit Son's smile.
Although she still had many trump cards left, the Void Spirit Son's displayed abilities were likely just the tip of the iceberg!
If they were to confront each other directly, Vivian would undoubtedly lose.
Beside her, Bailan's face was also solemn. She retreated while condensing runes around herself.
Bailan knew her own strength; she was not qualified to participate in the battle between the Void Spirit Son and Vivian. All she could do for now was to secretly accumulate power and assist Vivian with runes at a crucial moment.
Standing beside Vivian, she could only be a burden.
The Void Spirit Son smiled, looking at Vivian and Bailan who was secretly accumulating power, and chuckled, "You two, you don't still intend to resist me, do you?"
"Even if I brought any dog here, it could easily crush you two!"
Hearing the Void Spirit Son's words, Vivian couldn't help but show anger in her eyes, "Void Spirit Son, you are too arrogant. Do you really think you have us cornered?"
"This isn't arrogance, it's experience..." the Void Spirit Son chuckled. "I have lived for too long, encountered countless beings in the void, and few could defeat me."
"And you, the True Illusion Demon Spirit, and the nameless nobody beside you, are clearly not people I can afford to provoke."
"Then today, the list needs to be changed!"
Knowing that a great battle was inevitable, Vivian immediately used her divine abilities to transform the surroundings into illusory phantoms. Bailan also reacted instantly, scattering runes around the battlefield to disrupt the Void Spirit Son's perception.
In the blink of an eye, Vivian and Bailan disappeared from the Void Spirit Son's sight.
The Void Spirit Son stood in the burial ground of the Myriad Forms Void, looking at the surrounding illusory phantoms and numerous runes, and laughed, "The methods of these two little fellows are quite interesting. If I wanted to deal with you, it would indeed take some time."
"However, my target this time is not you, and I'm not in a hurry to find you."
After laughing, the Void Spirit Son made no attempt to search for Vivian and Bailan, and headed directly towards Ye Ling's location.
After Ye Ling and Karma emitted their auras, the Void Spirit Son had made a mark. Even though the entire burial ground had been altered by Vivian's abilities, the Void Spirit Son only needed to head to the place he had marked.
As for Vivian and Bailan, the Void Spirit Son only needed them to reveal themselves.
"Damn it! This guy isn't fighting us!"
Vivian had intended to stall for as much time as possible, but now the Void Spirit Son wasn't playing with her, and her plan was completely ruined.
In desperation, Vivian controlled her puppet to attack proactively. However, before the axe-wielding giant could even attack after appearing beside the Void Spirit Son, it was shattered by the aura surrounding the Void Spirit Son!
Vivian suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face turning extremely pale.
The Void Spirit Son stopped and looked in Vivian's hidden direction, laughing, "True Illusion Demon Spirit... Your abilities can indeed affect my perception, but no matter how you switch between true and false, if you want to attack me, you have to use your real power."
"But with your current strength, even if I stood still and let your puppet attack, it couldn't break my defense."
Vivian, hidden in the shadows, looked extremely displeased. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Before she could even move, the Void Spirit Son, who had captured her presence, struck her abdomen with a punch from afar!
*Bang!*
A bloody hole appeared in Vivian's abdomen, and the illusory world she had constructed instantly dispersed, revealing the true appearance of everything in the burial ground.
The Void Spirit Son, with a single punch, had severely wounded Vivian!
"Vivian!"
Bailan's expression changed drastically upon seeing Vivian's severe injuries. She immediately used runes to protect Vivian's soul and, at the same time, utilized the power of creation taught to her by Ye Ling to mend Vivian's body.
However, the gap in strength between Bailan and Vivian was too great. Even with the power of creation, Bailan could only stabilize Vivian's injuries and could not restore her to her peak condition in a short period!
Seeing Bailan using both runes and the power of creation, the Void Spirit Son couldn't help but laugh, "You little fellow, your strength is not much, but your methods are quite varied."
"However, a weakling like you, rashly participating in a battle between the strong, won't even know how you died!"
As the Void Spirit Son spoke, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes.
"Not good!"
Vivian sensed the change in the Void Spirit Son's aura and immediately activated her abilities, attempting to transform Bailan into an illusory existence to evade the Void Spirit Son's attack.
However, the Void Spirit Son's speed was too fast. Before Vivian could even half-transform Bailan, the Void Spirit Son's attack had already reached Bailan!
"Bailan!!!"
Vivian screamed, her eyes about to split!
With Bailan's physique, even a slight brush of the Void Spirit Son's power would likely scatter her soul!
However, just as the Void Spirit Son was about to kill Bailan, a clear dragon's roar suddenly sounded from within Bailan, and at the same time, a terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the burial ground!
Under the impact of these two distinct forces, the Void Spirit Son's attack instantly dissipated, and even the Void Spirit Son himself was severely wounded!
"Pfft!!!"
The Void Spirit Son spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face filled with shock as he looked towards the depths of the burial ground, then back at Bailan, exclaiming in surprise, "This fellow is actually protected by both the Karma Spirit Beast and the Ancestral Dragon Spirit? What kind of background does she have?"
Realizing that he had likely kicked an iron plate, the Void Spirit Son unhesitatingly abandoned the Karma Spirit Beast and fled into the distance.
In an instant, the Void Spirit Son disappeared into the void, leaving no trace.
Seeing that Ye Ling had completely scared away the Void Spirit Son after waking up, Vivian thought Ye Ling had already completed his breakthrough and quickly shouted to Ye Ling, "Boss! Don't let him escape! Quickly capture him!"
"Vivian, Bailan, come here quickly!"
In the next moment, Ye Ling's weak voice came, causing both Vivian and Bailan's expressions to change drastically, "Boss (Master)?"
Without hesitation, Vivian and Bailan immediately returned to Ye Ling's side. Seeing Ye Ling's extremely weak aura at the moment, they quickly asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Ye Ling waved his hand and said, "I'm fine... I broke through forcefully just now, and my internal power is extremely chaotic. I need some time to stabilize my aura and complete the final breakthrough. You guys take me away from here first. It would be troublesome if that guy comes back."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Vivian couldn't help but say, "So it turns out... Boss, you were faking it just now?"
Ye Ling gave a wry smile, "It's not exactly faking. In my current state, if I were to fight, I should still be able to kill him, but I wouldn't be in a good state myself. It's not worth fighting now, let's escape. We'll return to the Primordial Chaos. I'm in the final stage, so there's no need to worry about the watchers sensing me."
"Alright!"
Seeing this, Vivian and Bailan did not linger in the burial ground any longer. They took Ye Ling and headed towards the Primordial Chaos.
...
On the other side, the Void Spirit Son was fleeing madly in the void. After using several great teleportation divine abilities and erasing all traces of his movement, he finally stopped and realized he was covered in sweat.
"Damn it! What kind of background does that woman have? It's one thing to be protected by the Karma Spirit Beast, but why is she protected by the fourth-ranked Ancestral Dragon Spirit? This is truly unlucky!"
The Void Spirit Son cursed inwardly, feeling incredibly unlucky.
Unlike the nascent and still infantile Karma Spirit Beast, the fourth-ranked Ancestral Dragon Spirit among the Innate Immortal Spirits had been born a long, long time ago and was currently at its peak.
The Void Spirit Son was confident he could devour a growing Karma Spirit Beast, but confronting the peak Ancestral Dragon Spirit would be suicidal!
"Forget it! I've provoked someone I shouldn't have this time. I need to lie low for a while until the situation calms down."
The Void Spirit Son muttered to himself. Just as he was about to return to his lair, a familiar aura suddenly emerged around him, causing his expression to change drastically.
"This is!!!"
"Void Spirit Son, your courage is growing bolder and bolder. You even dare to touch my master's daughter."
At this moment, a voice as pleasant as a silver bell sounded in the Void Spirit Son's ear, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and his body to tremble violently.
The Void Spirit Son stiffly turned his head and saw a young girl sitting on a white dragon's head appearing before him.
"An-Ancestral Dragon Spirit..."
The Void Spirit Son stammered, his eyes filled with boundless fear.
In the next moment, the Void Spirit Son immediately knelt before the girl, "Dragon, Dragon Sister... I'm sorry! I didn't know that was Mr. Bai's daughter. Otherwise, even if you gave me ten thousand times the courage, I wouldn't dare to attack her!"
The girl looked at the kneeling Void Spirit Son with amusement, then said, "Very well, ignorance is not a crime. You didn't cause any serious consequences this time, so I can spare your life."
The Void Spirit Son quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Dragon Sister, for not killing me!"
The girl said, "Don't get too happy too soon. Although I've spared your life, you can't escape punishment. I have something for you to do."
The Void Spirit Son replied, "Dragon Sister, please, just give the order! No matter if it's going through mountains of knives or seas of fire, I will not refuse!"
"You said it yourself."
The girl smiled, then continued, "Recently, Master and the Watchers are going to have a decisive battle. The battlefield will be in the Primordial Origin Realm. You will go there and be our Sky Walker's vanguard."
"A decisive battle with the Watchers?" Hearing the girl's words, the Void Spirit Son's eyes flickered slightly.
The girl narrowed her eyes, "What? You're unwilling?"
The Void Spirit Son trembled all over and quickly said, "Willing, willing! I'll head to the Primordial Origin Realm now!"
