Chapter 2021 - 86: Breaking Through to Upper Transcendent

The black fog, like a living thing, finds its way into every nook and cranny, exuding a fearsome aura of death. Even from afar, its corrupt and withering negative energy can be felt.

At this critical moment, Zhang Xiaoman and Huan Cai are in the midst of the Star Pattern Imprint process. If interrupted, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Seeing this, Ni Yang couldn’t sit still any longer. With a flick of its dragon tail, countless streams of water were sent towards the black fog, attempting to disperse them.

To its shock, the water streams were instantly consumed upon encountering the black fog. The streams evaporated like boiling water, continuously corroded and eventually dissipated completely, leaving no trace behind.

Ni Yang’s expression turned grim. It had just cultivated the mental method given by Zizi, greatly increasing its strength. It was eager to make a move to see the effects, but unexpectedly, its first attempt resulted in utter defeat. The water it used came from the Returning Sea Divine Ability, condensed from the Netherworld Jade Spring Water, further imbued with All Things Replacement ability, which was supposed to be its trump card. Yet, it was effortlessly dissolved by the black fog, not just dissolved, but completely devoured without a trace, showcasing the terrifying power of the black fog.

Nearby, the expression of the Demon Princess also grew serious. It was Ni Yang’s first time seeing such a serious demeanor from her, even when facing those monsters before.

"This is the Forbidden Power condensed by Cosmic Will, a power generated only under special circumstances, used to limit the strength of beings in this universe. It’s not something you can handle, you should retreat."

The Demon Princess transmitted to Ni Yang swiftly.

Meanwhile, she raised her right arm slightly, waved her hand through the air towards the black fog, and a large "Destroy" character appeared in the void.

Upper Transcendent, Destruction Series, Speak and Follow.

As the "Destroy" character appeared, all the black fog trembled at that instant, and then vanished into thin air.

"Did it work!?"

Ni Yang felt thrilled. Indeed, they had to rely on their Zizi. The black fog, which it couldn’t shake in the slightest with all its strength, was resolved effortlessly by her, so much for the universe’s Forbidden Power, it seemed not so formidable.

But just as it had this thought, the black fog that had initially vanished reappeared, charging towards Zhang Xiaoman even faster than before.

"Not good! Be careful!"

Ni Yang exclaimed urgently.

The Demon Princess snorted coldly, purple light flaring in her eyes, and the space in front of her suddenly twisted and stretched, lengthening the distance between the black fog and Zhang Xiaoman to an overwhelming figure.

This was a method of altering space, an extremely profound power. From the outside, the black fog seemed less than a hundred meters away from Zhang Xiaoman, but in reality, they might be countless star distances apart.

Unfortunately, such power proved ineffective before the black fog.

The black fog’s aura grew even denser. It suddenly accelerated, maintaining a constant posture as it approached Zhang Xiaoman. The Demon Princess’s practical space stretching ability was directly ignored, as it continued its unshakable advance towards its target.

Time hindrance ineffective, space hindrance also ineffective, Ni Yang was utterly stunned. This Cosmic Forbidden Power was truly terrifying!

At this moment, a question arose in its mind. What exactly was Zhang Xiaoman doing inside? Why would it draw such a power to attack him? Could this be related to the Sixth Star Pattern Imprint? Is this Sixth Star Pattern really so exaggerated?

By now, Ni Yang could no longer intervene in the battle. All its hopes rested entirely on Zizi, as only she might be able to stop the black fog.

"Zizi, find a way!"

Ni Yang said anxiously.

The Demon Princess had no time for distractions. Her expression grew particularly solemn as she took a deep breath. Then, her right arm vibrated with Spiritual Power, shattering the chain binding her hand.

"Receive!"

The Demon Princess uttered a low command, opening the palm of her right hand, releasing an invisible vortex that quickly sucked in the black fog about to reach Zhang Xiaoman.

"Whizz, whizz, whizz!"

The black fog swiftly swept past, arriving in front of her, and under Ni Yang’s horrified gaze, was absorbed into her body.

"Forbidden Seal!"

The Demon Princess rapidly tapped on her body, causing a Mysterious Rune to spread across her right arm, sealing the black aura in her hand, turning her entire arm ashen black.

"Zizi, you..."

Ni Yang was stunned by the scene, never expecting that the Demon Princess would sacrifice her own arm to save Zhang Xiaoman, just to seal that black aura.

"It’s fine, I’ve encountered this Forbidden Power before. I can temporarily seal it, and once Ji Xing emerges, I will release the seal."

The Demon Princess explained, yet despite this, Ni Yang’s brows remained furrowed.

It knew things couldn’t be that simple. To absorb such a fearsome power into one’s body, how could it be easy to just release it?
