Chapter 416 The Power of the First Palm
That pale, bloodless hand seemed like a ghostly claw reaching out from the deepest hell, radiating a torrent of demonic energy.
It simply grasped that ball of energy that should have destroyed the world out of thin air, and with a slight clench of its five fingers, the terrifying explosive force that could have blasted even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator into ashes was silently annihilated without even a ripple spreading outwards.
quiet!
Deadly quiet!
The only sound on the entire battlefield was heavy, suppressed breathing.
Shen Rugo's delicate body trembled violently, her eyes narrowed sharply, and a chill ran straight to the top of her head!
"How could such a terrifyingly large hand, filled with surging demonic energy, exist inside this demoness's body?!"
"Could it be that this demoness harbors a demon within her body, and that demon is a being that transcends the Nascent Soul stage, or even the Divine Transformation stage?"
"It's over, it's over! If that's really the case, then I, Shen Rugo, am truly finished!"
Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.
This was all beyond the original plot and beyond her comprehension.
A tremendous sense of crisis instantly overwhelmed Shen Rugo.
She had thought victory was assured and even envisioned Wu Xuemei's utter destruction, but the sudden appearance of the large hand shattered her illusions!
"Roar……"
The massive bodies of the monsters, such as the Sky-Splitting Crocodile, the Azure-Scaled Python, and the Mystic Rock Turtle, trembled violently. The ferocity they displayed in their previous desperate battle had vanished, leaving only primal fear.
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile even subconsciously moved its heavy body backward, trying to get away from that giant hand.
At this moment, Wu Xuemei, who had just returned to her original form from her monster form, was also in a daze.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her breath was weak. She had used the "Heavenly Secret Technique, Ten Thousand Demons Burning Body" to almost exhaust all her strength.
Shen Rugo's attack had plunged her into utter despair, and she was almost ready to close her eyes and await death.
Unexpectedly, that giant hand appeared again, once more at her life-or-death moment.
Wu Xuemei was so excited that her whole body trembled.
She didn't know the origin of this giant hand. When it suddenly appeared last time, it surprised and delighted her. Afterwards, she repeatedly examined her soul, but she still couldn't find the source of this giant hand.
But without a doubt, this is her biggest trump card right now.
Overjoyed, Wu Xuemei couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Shen Rugo, do you think you can kill me with your petty tricks?"
It was as if fireflies were outshining the bright moon!
Did you see that? That's true power!
Before me, you and your beasts are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs!
Her face was contorted, filled with resentment and smugness.
As if in response to her loud laughter, the pale hand, after crushing the energy ball, did not dissipate like last time. Instead, it slowly rose and casually patted Shen Rugo and the demonic beast behind her!
There was no grand spectacle, no dazzling light, only a suffocating wave of death, spreading out like mercury spilling across the ground.
Space seemed to freeze under this palm strike, and time itself seemed to slow down.
"not good!"
Shen Rugo's hair stood on end.
She had no doubt that if this palm strike landed squarely, she and all the demonic beasts would be completely wiped out, just like that ball of energy from before, leaving not a trace behind!
"Five Elements Nine Revolutions Divine Skill!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Shen Rugo let out a long howl.
Within her body, the Five Elements Nine Revolutions Divine Art began to operate wildly at an unprecedented speed!
"Boom!"
Deep within her dantian, eighteen majestic Dao platforms, resembling ancient divine mountains, simultaneously erupted with dazzling light!
Five colors of divine light—black, white, blue, red, and yellow—intertwined and intertwined.
Each platform was incredibly solid, and now it was fully activated, unleashing a surge of spiritual energy as vast as the sea.
Its sheer quantity and purity have already surpassed that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators, and are comparable to the late Golden Core stage!
This is Shen Rugo's eighteenth level of Qi Refining, the foundation she built within her dantian!
Throughout history, no one has ever accumulated such terrifying foundational power during the Qi Refining stage!
With her strength surging instantly, Shen Rugo moved like lightning, pushing the ethereal and divine movement technique to its limit. She transformed into a faint phantom, retreating rapidly in the nick of time.
At the same time, she waved her hands like the wind, and the runes in her storage bag, regardless of their grade or effect, poured out like a torrential rain!
"Ice Freeze Ten Thousand Miles Talisman!"
"Gengjin Sword Qi Talisman!"
"Thick Earth Barrier Talisman!"
"Green Wood Entangling Talisman!"
"Heaven-Burning Flame Talisman!"
……
Various talismans bloomed in the air, forming dazzling light curtains, barriers, and attacks, attempting to block the pale white hand.
She also used all the supernatural powers and techniques she had learned to push the innate cold energy of her ice spirit root to its limit, creating layers upon layers of ice walls in front of her.
"Buzz!"
A pale, large hand slammed down, and all the runic light vanished silently the moment it touched the invisible palm force, like ice and snow under the sun.
The layers of ice walls shattered like paper, turning into countless ice crystals.
With her terrifying spiritual power and exquisite agility, Shen Rugo narrowly avoided the core area of the palm strike.
But the aftershocks of that palm strike still made her blood surge, a sweet taste rose in her throat, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
She escaped, but the monsters behind her weren't so lucky.
"Puff puff!"
The three demonic beasts that were close at hand and slow to react didn't even have time to scream before they exploded into clouds of blood mist under that invisible palm force!
Their demonic power, cultivated for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and their boundless life essence seemed to be drawn by some force, quickly transforming into three blood-red torrents, which were absorbed into Wu Xuemei's body!
"Ho..."
Wu Xuemei let out a satisfied sigh, her pale face regained its rosy hue at a visible speed, and her listless breathing stabilized.
The feeling of forcibly plundering and devouring the life essence of others intoxicated her and made the demonic power within her even more active.
"One more slap! Smash that little bitch Shen Rugo to death!"
Although Wu Xuemei felt that her consciousness and body were controlled by the will of that pale, large hand, her heart was screaming and urging her on.
She could almost see Shen Rugo being smashed into a pulp and her soul scattered.
With Shen Rugo dead, there will be no one left in the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent who can rival her or stop her progress!
However, the pale hand hovering in mid-air, after striking out with one palm and helping her devour the essence of the three demonic beasts, did not immediately launch a second attack as Wu Xuemei had hoped.
Its solid palm, on the contrary, became somewhat illusory, and even began to blur at the edges, as if it would collapse and dissipate at any moment.
"not good!"
Wu Xuemei's heart sank suddenly.
She immediately realized that the mysterious energy hidden in her body, this terrifying claw, could not be used without limit.
It was obvious that this second attack was much weaker than the first one when he crushed the energy ball!
"I must kill Shen Rugo before it dissipates, or use this giant hand to replenish my strength!"
Wu Xuemei's mind raced, a ruthless and decisive glint flashing in her eyes.
She no longer placed all her hopes on that collapsing giant hand, but chose to take the initiative!
"Devouring Demonic Art!"
Wu Xuemei mustered her remaining demonic energy, transformed into a wisp of black smoke, and pounced on the Azure Scale Python that was closest to her and had been seriously injured in the aftershocks!
