Chapter 48

Ning Yue had long checked and found that Bai Luoluo had a special bloodline flowing within her, which had likely been infused by her elders at home, allowing her to condense the Ten Thousand Treasures Spirit Mirror. There would be no problem in condensing the Ten Thousand Treasures Spirit Mirror's virtual image, but Bai Luoluo did not have the Youyue Demon Wolf bloodline. To condense the Youyue Heavenly Wolf Sword, she would need to make some preparations. However, since Bai Luoluo had yet to open the corresponding life souls, the matter of the Youyue Demon Wolf bloodline was not something to rush.

As for Ning Yue himself, he had long ascended to the heavens and become a deity. Although it was only his avatar that escaped, he still possessed divine blood. He had no issues with cultivating multiple virtual images and did not need any bloodline to cultivate any power, as there were no obstacles.

Despite Bai Luoluo having opened all ten life souls required to condense the first stage of the Ten Thousand Treasures Spirit Mirror and possessing a perfect bloodline, condensing the virtual image still required passing the test of sensing the laws of heaven and earth. This test could not be assisted by external forces; it could only be understood through personal insight. Ning Yue was at a loss and could only urge Bai Luoluo to cultivate the Great Buddha Dharma, hoping it would provide some auxiliary benefits.

After guiding Bai Luoluo's cultivation, Ning Yue also began to practice diligently. His Taiqing Heart Method had broken through to the sixteenth level, and after condensing the fifth-stage virtual image of the Void Dragon, he believed there would be little progress in the short term. Therefore, he focused his main efforts on the Ten Directions Annihilation Method.

The Taiqing Heart Method only cultivated soul power and did not open life souls. Cultivating to the twenty-eighth level was sufficient to match a twelfth-stage virtual image. The Ten Directions Annihilation Method did not require condensing a virtual image but needed to open one hundred and eight life souls. Cultivating to its peak could match a fifteenth-stage virtual image.

Although Ning Yue had previously mastered all eighteen killing techniques of the Ten Directions Annihilation Method, due to the insufficient number of opened life souls, many of the techniques' power had not reached perfection and could only exert two or three-tenths of their full strength. He had been working hard to open the life souls required for the Ten Directions Annihilation Method, hoping to perfect this ultimate technique, which would not only enhance his martial power but also provide many benefits for future cultivation.

Ning Yue had already opened eighty-six life souls. His understanding of the ghost and god laws far exceeded that of ordinary deities. In less than two hours, he opened the eighty-seventh life soul. At this moment, the fourth crystal screen of the divine crystal fragment suddenly popped out, listing all one hundred and eight life souls required for the Ten Directions Annihilation Method, and then began to recombine them.

Ning Yue's mind was slightly shaken, and he hurriedly channeled soul power into the divine crystal to accelerate the process. After about two to three hours, the fourth crystal screen of the divine crystal fragment, after removing two life souls and adding two others, rearranged the one hundred and eight life souls, presenting a new appearance.

Ning Yue was greatly shocked and repeatedly ran the simulation over ten times with the divine crystal fragment, confirming one thing. The re-simulated Ten Directions Annihilation Method had reached a peak power that could match a sixteenth-stage virtual image, surpassing the version he had simulated after ascending to the heavens and using the resources of the Yingzhou Divine Domain.

Ning Yue could not help but think to himself, "Could the Ten Directions Annihilation Method I created still have room for further improvement?"

It was well known that the upper limit of a single life soul diagram was the tenth stage, and the upper limit of a combined life soul diagram was the eighteenth stage. Any combined life soul diagram above the tenth stage could be called a super-stage life soul diagram, and any treasure above the tenth stage could be called a super-stage treasure.

A tenth-stage life soul diagram required one hundred life souls to condense, while an eighteenth-stage life soul diagram required at least three hundred and twenty-four life souls. Whether in the dark world or the various divine domains, there was an ironclad rule: the fewer life souls required for a combined life soul diagram of the same stage, the better. The fewer life souls, the faster the strength would increase, and over time, the difference in strength would be significant.

Currently, the best super-stage life soul diagram combination in the divine domain was the legendary Great Heavenly Demon Life Soul Diagram, which required only four sets of ninth-stage life soul diagrams. The next best was the Bright Heavenly Emperor Life Soul Diagram, which required four sets of tenth-stage life soul diagrams. No other super-stage life soul diagram in the divine domain could match these two.

The Ten Directions Annihilation Method that Ning Yue had simulated could combine one hundred and eight life souls to match a fifteenth-stage virtual image because he had created the "transforming soul" method and the technique to open eighteen life souls, allowing each of these eighteen life souls to transform freely and perform the functions of multiple life souls.

He originally thought that the Ten Directions Annihilation Method had reached perfection and had no room for further improvement. However, he did not expect that the divine crystal fragment could still simulate the next step, allowing the Ten Directions Annihilation Method to break through its own level and match a sixteenth-stage virtual image.

Ning Yue could not help but think, "If the Ten Directions Annihilation Method can be further improved and even match an eighteenth-stage virtual image, I could use this method to break through the boundary of the Spirit Realm, and even surpass the Star Annihilator virtual image recorded in the divine crystal fragment!"

Ning Yue was overjoyed. He looked at the sky and saw that it was already late. He was about to call Bai Luoluo to return to Huo Family Village when he suddenly sniffed the air and detected a faint, pungent smell.

When Ning Yue was still Yan Jifeng, he had traveled extensively and immediately knew that a fierce beast was nearby.

He did not want to fight such a fierce beast but intended to train Bai Luoluo. He woke her up and whispered, "There are demonic beasts nearby. You have practiced the Ten Thousand Treasures Spirit Mirror and the Great Buddha Dharma for a long time and should engage in some practical combat to test your skills. Go to the village alone, and I will follow you to see how you handle the crisis."

Bai Luoluo nodded and ran towards Huo Family Village. After running half a mile, she saw dozens of eerie green lights circling around the village.

"Oh no! It turns out these Youyue Demon Wolves are unwilling to let their kin's death go unpunished and have come to Huo Family Village for revenge."

Bai Luoluo had heard many stories of beasts seeking revenge, but she never thought she would encounter it herself. As soon as she appeared, the demonic wolves saw her. While dozens of wolves continued to circle the village, over ten wolves surrounded her.

Bai Luoluo felt a bit regretful, thinking to herself, "If I had my brother's unparalleled lightness skill, these fierce beasts would find it hard to catch even my shadow. Unfortunately, although the Great Buddha Dharma is powerful, it does not specialize in lightness skills. I have only developed physical strength and muscle power, and my legs can't possibly outrun these four-legged Youyue Demon Wolves."

Bai Luoluo knew she couldn't outrun the Youyue Demon Wolves, but she was not willing to sit and wait for death. She looked around, shouted, and kicked a straight, arm-thick sapling, breaking it. She then stripped off the branches and leaves, shook it a few times, and waited for the wolves to approach.

These Youyue Demon Wolves seemed to have high intelligence. Seeing that the little girl did not flee, they did not rush forward. Instead, they scattered, blocking Bai Luoluo's front and back paths, and then slowly tightened their encirclement from all sides.

Bai Luoluo held the sapling behind her back, her eyes gleaming with a cold light. She had always been under Ning Yue's protection and had no chance to fight, but before meeting Ning Yue, she had escaped countless times on her own, showing both wisdom and courage. She was not afraid to fight these demonic beasts.

At this moment, Bai Luoluo had put everything aside and, following Ning Yue's guidance, entered a state of mind where nothing existed outside her. In her eyes, there were no Youyue Demon Wolves, only a mortal enemy that she must kill at all costs. The Youyue Demon Wolves had become the pursuers from the Binhama Temple in her mind.

Bai Luoluo's first battle after learning the Great Buddha Dharma was about to begin!

The dozen or so Youyue Demon Wolves immediately split into two groups. One group roamed around, while the other five wolves crouched low and leaped from five different directions towards the girl.

Ning Yue was well-versed in various martial arts and was a grandmaster in spear and staff techniques. Therefore, when guiding Bai Luoluo's cultivation, he also taught her various weapon techniques. However, in the Nine Heavens, the importance of martial techniques was far less than that of life soul diagrams, so Ning Yue did not delve deeply into the teachings.

Despite this, Bai Luoluo benefited greatly and understood various weapon techniques. In an instant, she judged that she had at least a dozen ways to sweep away the five wolves and even kill one or two of them. However, her movements would inevitably expose vulnerabilities, giving the patrolling Youyue Demon Wolves a chance to attack.

Bai Luoluo did not expect the Youyue Demon Wolves to be so intelligent, seemingly proficient in battle formations. However, she was not afraid. She took a half-step back, swayed slightly to the left and right, and then stepped forward. These movements were simple, and even an ordinary person could do them. But in the eyes of the five leaping wolves, Bai Luoluo suddenly became like a gentle breeze, slipping out of their encirclement.

This mysterious and unpredictable footwork was the basic Qingyu Chengfeng Technique taught by Ning Yue.

Following Ning Yue, the grandmaster of martial arts, Bai Luoluo had learned only the basics but had a broadened perspective and could use various techniques and secrets with ease. This small test turned the tide. She ignored the five wolves that missed their target and, with a step that seemed to shrink the earth, thrust her sapling from her waist, transforming it into a dragon that pointed towards a gray-furred wolf patrolling the perimeter.

This gray-furred wolf was slightly smaller and thinner than its companions but had been barking low and directing the other wolves, showing a different demeanor. It was clearly the leader of the pack, so Bai Luoluo aimed to kill it first.

The gray-furred wolf, locked onto by Bai Luoluo's spirit, had its fur bristle, and a full moon suddenly appeared around it. Its body vanished in an instant.

If Bai Luoluo had not already opened eleven life souls and her spiritual level far exceeded the wolf's, she would have lost track of the target.

"Indeed, this gray-furred wolf is incredibly strong. Even if I activate the Illusory Moon, I cannot reach this level. It would take at least twenty breaths to use the moonlight to hide. However, if I let such a beast escape from my spear, I would be unworthy of being a daughter of the Bai family and would not live up to the guidance of my big brother."

Bai Luoluo's mind raced, and the ten life souls opened by the Ten Thousand Treasures Spirit Mirror activated, forming a spiritual impact that crashed into the gray-furred wolf's mind.

Although this gray-furred wolf was "gifted" among demonic beasts and far exceeded its peers, it could not withstand Bai Luoluo's powerful spiritual impact. With a loud bang, its head exploded.

"Good heavens, it has two life souls... not three, the third one is still forming but has already taken shape."

Ning Yue, following behind Bai Luoluo, could not help but admire her. He then activated the Star Shift Technique, and three life souls separated from his body, which he casually absorbed into the divine crystal fragment. He also used the Ten Directions Annihilation Method to absorb part of the gray-furred wolf's essence, preparing for Bai Luoluo's future condensation of the Youyue Heavenly Wolf Sword.

One of the wolves, likely the mate of the killed wolf, was very close to it. Seeing its mate killed, it let out a mournful howl and leaped to attack, but it was pinned to the ground by a spear that seemed to come from nowhere...
