Chapter 317: Xiao Ran’s Defeat

Just as Xiao Shou called Fu Young’s name, Xiao Ran looked at the person standing in front of her. She remembered how this person had played with her like a fool and even made her take the blame. Her normally cold and sacred expression twisted with anger. She immediately shouted resentfully. "It was you, you bastard."

"Perfect. Then let us settle our previous debt as well."

"Do not get too pleased with yourself." After saying this, the white light surrounding her body became even brighter.

She no longer used only a small portion of the Fate Devouring Array’s power. Instead, she began releasing most of its strength.

"Young’er, be careful. This white light is extremely strange. It seems capable of absorbing spiritual energy."

Seeing this, Xiao Shou immediately warned Fu Young. The reason he had been so helpless just now was because of this white light.

As cultivators, their cultivation, techniques, spells, secret arts, magical treasures, and spiritual treasures all relied on spiritual energy as their source of power.

A force capable of absorbing spiritual energy meant that a cultivator’s methods were almost completely useless against it.

Their newly trained divine sense attacks were also uncertain.

They did not know whether this strange power could absorb divine sense as well.

After all, divine sense was connected to the soul.

If the soul was damaged or absorbed, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Although Xiao Shou lacked combat experience, he could still understand this much.

That was why he had continued avoiding contact with the white light.

However, now his disciple was standing in front of him, protecting him.

Thinking about the sense of danger he had felt earlier, Xiao Shou realized he could no longer continue avoiding the situation.

As a master, he had to at least protect his disciple.

But with his cultivation attacks and defensive methods being completely countered, what power could he use to overcome his opponent?

After all, Xiao Ran was the protagonist of this world. Thinking about Xiao Ran, Xiao Shou suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Xiao Ran was the protagonist of this world. She had her own cheat ability. But he was the Savior of his own world. He also had his own greatest advantage.

This power that could save an entire world should be able to counter her.

Even if it could not completely suppress her, it should at least allow him to resist.

It was worth taking the gamble.

After making his decision in an instant, Xiao Shou condensed his Absolute Fusion ability and prepared to release it, intending to protect his beloved disciple.

However, he was left completely stunned when he saw Fu Young.

Facing Xiao Ran who was surrounded by brilliant white light and looked like a divine being, Fu Young only smiled with disdain. He did not even raise his hand.

"Using my own thing to attack me... How ridiculous."

As soon as those words were spoken, Xiao Ran watched her attack pierce through the invisible shield and approach Fu Young.

She had no time to feel happy. Instead, she looked on in horror.

Fu Young’s forehead, just like when they were inside the secret realm, began revealing several mysterious and beautiful blue patterns.

At the center of those blue patterns, a crack slowly opened.

A blood red eye appeared.

At the same time, an endless aura of destruction surged outward.

The white light belonging to the Fate Devouring Array around Xiao Ran unexpectedly began flowing out on its own.

It surged into Fu Young’s third blood red eye.

The power of the Fate Devouring Array was being absorbed?

The ability that had always absorbed others was now being absorbed by this person?

The person who had treated her like a clown and manipulated her?

Xiao Ran could not believe it.

She watched helplessly as the Fate Devouring Array, which had been repaired through absorbing countless existences, began dropping in rank one level after another.

"Who exactly are you?"

Xiao Ran desperately tried to sever the connection between herself and Fu Young.

She wanted to break away from this terrifying force of absorption.

But it was useless.

She could only watch as the precious ability she valued most was forcibly and irresistibly stripped away from her body.

At this moment, she remembered all the countless times she had absorbed other beings.

At first, it had only been monsters, flowers, plants, trees, and stones.

Later, because absorbing those things was inefficient and the amount of power gained was far too slow, her desire to become stronger quickly caused her to turn her attention toward cultivators filled with spiritual energy. Then she began absorbing them again and again.

One time after another.

Gradually, she developed the belief that cultivators were nothing more than her spiritual stones.

Her food.

But now, as Fu Young forcibly absorbed the Fate Devouring Array from her without allowing any resistance, she finally felt it.

The fish on the chopping board... Had become herself.

This feeling became even stronger when she saw a white jade object covered in mysterious formation patterns being pulled out from her chest.

A deep and overwhelming despair covered her.

Was her reincarnation really going to end like this?

She had not yet taken revenge.

She had not yet reached the peak.

She had not yet obtained absolute power.

At this moment, a deep male voice entered her mind. "Fool."

Following that voice, the Heavenly Orb that had remained silent suddenly released a powerful surge of immortal energy.

It condensed into an immortal blade and instantly severed the connection between the white jade and Xiao Ran.

After the white jade flew into Fu Young’s Heavenly Eye, it wrapped around Xiao Ran and pulled her away.

"The spirit of the Heavenly Orb ?" Xiao Ran only had time to flash this thought through her mind before her vision blurred, and she lost consciousness.

At the same time, her body completely disappeared without a trace.

"Where do you think you are going?" Seeing this, Monk Tongchan immediately chased after her.
