Fight for Survival

Bai Hua Fairy flew quickly, appearing far away in the blink of an eye. Gu Qing Shan tried to follow her, but couldn't catch up no matter what. He could only stop in midair, silently staring at the green figure moving downwards. Massive Martial Thaumaturgy concentrated on Bai Hua Fairy's body, quickly manifesting as a snake with a human face.

Martial Divine Skill, [Unbreakable Mountain]

While flying, she suddenly disappeared.

Boom!

A tremendous impact resounded across the world, as the golden light being suppressed by the flames once again surged upward.

"Amitabha, benefactor Xie, you're finally here" the Great Monk of Sorrow breathed out in relief.

"Ahahaha, a mere Projection realm early stage would think to hit me?" the Zishan young master laughed in a frenzy.

Their voices echoed all over the world. Very quickly, the sound of battle continued again.

Suddenly, the Zishan young master's tone changed, saying: "Who would've thought that such a world could give birth to a peerless beauty such as you"

His voice contained a bit of lust and desire.

"Die!" Bai Hua Fairy's shout was heard.

A second later, an immeasurable light surged out, merging with the golden light and attacked the fire.

"Ahaha, just come with me…"

The Zishan young master's voice was heard again. Gu Qing Shan's eyes twitched, watching the battle below. Suddenly, he took out a bracelet. There were 5 bells attached to the bracelet. Gu Qing Shan didn't hesitate and started to shake the rattle. A faint female singing could be heard coming from the void. The light of twilight came and went, the black-clothed girl casually appeared.

"What are your master's thoughts?" Gu Qing Shan calmly asked.

{ Master is still considering it }

As the black-clothed girl said so, she glanced at the battle below, her expression instantly changed.

{ A Virtualized realm cultivator! He can kill all of you by himself }

She only needed a glance to recognize the current situation. This world is already about to fall.

Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice: "Everything is already about to become nothing and your master is still considering it? If this continues, I'm afraid she's not going to be getting anything"

Hearing that, the black-clothed girl suddenly stood straight up, the relaxed expression on her face is also no more. She was instead letting off a regal and solemn air.

{ It seems we won't have time to negotiate }the black-clothed girl's tone becomes slow but decisive, {The requirements for me to act are: the Virtualized realm cultivator's soul is mine, the other world is mine, and you will return the Tianma's Pond of Vitality in your possession to me }

Gu Qing Shan spoke without being surprised: "No problem, but I will only keep up my end of the deal after everything is over, this is my only condition"

{ I can accept that, but the Tianma's Pond of Vitality can only be used by a Tianma, if you won't give it to me, how would I help you? } the black-clothed girl smirked sarcastically.

"You can't fight without the Tianma's Pond of Vitality? I don't believe that for a single second"

{ My Divine presence is too powerful to descend on this world myself, only the Tianma's Pond of Vitality can help me outside the Tianma world }

"Is that so?"

Gu Qing Shan clasped his hands together to form a strange seal. After learning [Demon World Transportation], he can already activate the Tianma vase. This way, he can prevent the vase from being taken away by the Tianma before everything is over.

"I can at least activate it, with how strong you are, you can probably use it from afar"

{ You're that wary of me? }

"A necessary precaution, otherwise if you just take it and run, I don't even know where to cry to" Gu Qing Shan answered.

The black-clothed girl looked at the seal, then at Gu Qing Shan

'This brat really is cunning, seems like I'll have to keep up my end of the deal. Otherwise, I really would've considered just taking the vase and running. That would be massive profit for absolutely nothing.'

Thinking that, the black-clothed girl smiled. Seeing Gu Qing Shan so cautious, she was actually a bit happy. If a character that easy to cheat would actually dare think of cooperating with the Tianma, that would actually be an insult to her instead. Such a person isn't worthy of fighting alongside her. Such a fool would only be worth as food.

She then replied: { That's fine too, but you need to keep your end of the bargain and give me both the Tianma's Pond of Vitality and the two-world warp formation plate at the same time }

Gu Qing Shan answered: "That's the deal we agreed on"

The black-clothed girl answered: { You're still a human cultivator after all, I'm just worried that you might be thinking of the greater good of humanity and destroy that formation plate instead }

"What greater good? Don't worry, I'm not going to offend both you and the Tianma world for such a thing" Gu Qing Shan replied.

The black-clothed girl nodded: { That's good to know. I'm not afraid of smart people, but idiots who believe themselves to be right are scary }

{ After all, it's a simple matter for me to find you again } her tone became a bit threatening.

The sound of battle below was becoming louder and louder. Gu Qing Shan quickly glanced at the situation. It was getting more and more dangerous.

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said: "Let's go!!!"

{ What are you planning? } the black-clothed girl asked.

"I'm going to prepare; you can act now!" Gu Qing Shan replied.

His hands turned into blurry shadows, constantly making hand seals to activate the Tianma's Pond of Vitality.

The black-clothed girl shook her head, saying: { I really didn't think there would be a day where I cooperate with a human }

She then also formed a hand seal and began to chant. Her chanting was strange, but carried a mysterious feeling of harmony, each and every word seemed to be calling something.

{ Zhuo zhi zha luo zhuo zhi, lu he li, mo he lu he li, a luo, zhe luo, duo luo, suo sa }

Streaks of light began to come out of her body and into the Tianma vase. As the Tianma vase was activated by Gu Qing Shan, it felt the streaks of light and began to harmonize with it. Following that, when the black-clothed girl chants, voices started to appear from the void and harmonized with her.

As she finished her chant, millions and billions of voices came from the void, chanting after her. Gu Qing Shan had made a total of 37 hand seals, but was still activating the vase. The vase began to let out an invisible wavelength as the void of space also began to shake with it.

[Summon Demon Horde] has been activated!

Seeing that, the black-clothed girl changed her hand seal and began to chant differently.

{ Po luo wi mo po she bati, bo bi yuan bo, bo bing bei xun bo bi, bo bi mo bo xun! }

Following her chant, a flower appeared from the void next to the black-clothed girl. The flower was transparent, but it was also a faint hue of red and pink, floating in the wind alone. The flower quickly bloomed as a miniature beautiful woman appeared from inside, showing her allure. The beautiful enchantress stood up and quickly grew to human size. With a jump, she left the flower petals and started to dance in midair.

Whenever the black-clothed girl chanted, she was also chanting. The two Tianma let out light at the same time, projecting onto the vase. Very quickly, countless pink hue flowers the same as before appeared from the void of space. Each of them bloomed as hundreds and hundreds of Tianma enchantresses revealed themselves from inside. They floated in the air, chanting, dancing as they showed off their perfect figures. In a few moments, the Tianma became more and more numerous, quickly filling the sky.

Above.

"Big sis Qing Rou, what do we do now?" Wan Er lowered her eyes as she asked.

"Each world we go to, there are always some who asks for help, but have we ever managed to save even one of them?" Qing Rou wiped the blood from her mouth and sighed deeply.

"That's right, we definitely cannot go down there to help. Otherwise, once the young master finds out about our preparations, our last hope will also be no more" Wan Er said.

"If that happens, I can't do anything other than finish myself off" Qing Rou sighed.

"Me as well" Wan Er lowered her head and spoke sorrowfully.

"Let's wait and see, after all, he only asked us to act as we see fit"

"——hm?" Wan Er's tone suddenly raised, a bit surprised.

"Big sis, what is that?" she asked.

Wan Er looked down at the sky below, extremely surprised: "So beautiful, where did all these female cultivators come from? Are they all people of this world?"

Qing Rou squinted her eyes glancing at the direction Wan Er was pointing, then opened her eyes wide. After that, her expression changed as she appeared very seriously concerned. Even when the purple shirt young master came to this world, she didn't have such an expression.

She silently stared below and muttered: "Tianma. But, such a dignified presence, I've only seen from the ancient recordings of my world"

"This must be a Tianma Empress!"

"After we left for the other world, no Tianma has ever managed to find us again…"

"…So that's it"

Seemingly understood something, Qing Rou couldn't help but clench her fists tight, biting her lips.

She then looked at Gu Qing Shan, and appeared truly surprised for the very first time, muttering: "From what I remember, such a thing has never happened before…"

"Big sis, what are you talking about?" Wan Er asked, concerned.

Qing Rou suddenly took Wan Er's hand, speaking very seriously: "Wan Er, our only chance at revenge might have finally come"

"A chance?" Wan Er was also stunned.

Elsewhere

Boom!

A golden light was knocked backwards, crashing into the ground. The ground was sunken deeply. As the flame pursued, wanting to finish him off, countless streaks of light flew up.

"These insects!"

The flame exploded as the streaks of light fell down like flies. Countless spirits have already died. A green figured appeared to stop him. After a few seconds of combat, the green figure managed to knock the flame away with a punch. After the flame flew backways a few dozen feet, it stopped to reveal the Zishan young master.

The Zishan young master rubbed his arm: "Not a bad punch, but sadly too weak, seems like you really aren't willing to hit me too hard"

Looking at the green figure, he was boiling with excitement. Such a beauty is rare in any world, if he can take her for himself, it couldn't be any better. Behind the green figure, a golden light flew up, it was the Great Monk of Sorrow.

"So this is Virtualized realm?" the Great Monk of Sorrow sighed.

"That's right, very hard to deal with" Bai Hua Fairy rubbed her slightly trembling hands.

Her veil had already been burned away by the flame a while ago, revealing her unparalleled beauty that makes even the stars dim in comparison. The Great Monk of Sorrow turned his hand, the bowl floating in midair had landed there.

"Amitabha, what a tough battle, this humble monk has readied himself for Nirvana" the Great Monk of Sorrow commented.

Bai Hua Fairy didn't say anything, but her spirit energy waves were increasing bit by bit.

The Zishan young master smirked mockingly and spoke: "Still hopeful I see. Very well, today I'll make sure you experience what death really is, so that maybe you'll remember it in the next life"

An overwhelming searing fire rose from his body, manifesting as a flame Kirin.

"After this, you will die if you don't surrender" the Zishan young master threatened.

Then he headed for the two Saints. However before he could reach them, a sword strike came towards him slicing his arm off.

"AAAAAHHHHH"

Another sword slash came towards the Zishan Young Master but he dodged it. He looked towards the direction of the sword slash only to see a black haired man with a black coat and blue eyes. This was the incarnation of Wang Li who has been hiding and waiting for the best moment to strike.

…

On another side.

Gu Qing Shan's hands were casting seal after seal nonstop onto the vase.

Glancing down, he managed to catch the sight of Wang Li cutting off the Zishan Young Master's hand and keeping him occupied.

Gu Qing Shan was getting impatient.

"How much longer?" he asked loudly.

{ I'm currently doing my best! } the black-clothed girl answered.

"Can't you be a bit faster?"

{ Don't rush me! Unless the amount of Tianma is enough, they won't be able to affect the battle at all! } the black-clothed girl snapped back.

Her hands were also casting seal after seal, moving like a blurred shadow. In the void of space, more and more flowers were blooming. Beautiful Tianma appeared one after another.

{ Not enough, not nearly enough… } the black-clothed girl muttered as her casting speed became quicker and quicker.

Suddenly, she changed the seal, both hands clasping together to form a new one. Demon World's Chilling Water Light, Mandela! The invisible water stream swept across the sky, both the black-clothed girl and the sky full of Tianma all disappeared inside.

{ You come in as well } the black-clothed girl spoke.

Gu Qing Shan then also disappeared. No more Tianma could be seen in the sky.

The black-clothed girl then ordered behind: { You. Go and check out that Virtualized realm cultivator }

{ Yes } a beautiful Tianma enchantress replied. She giggled, then started descending.

The sky below.

The bowl let out a golden light to trap the flame Kirin inside. But the Great Monk of Sorrow had not managed to retrieve the bowl before he was already coiled around by another flame. The golden light around him started to melt. Bai Hua Fairy's expression was serious, quickly casting a seal.

5-Elemental Metal, [Dragon Stealing Pearl]!

9 gold-colored Great Dragons appeared from thin air, circling around the Great Monk of Sorrow. The group of golden dragons opened their mouths wide, sucking the flame from his body. The 9 dragons then began to fly outwards, quickly burning away into nothingness. Bai Hua Fairy let go of her hand seal, breathing a bit heavily. How risky, just now, Sorrow was so close to death.

"Beauty, what are you saving the monk for? He will definitely die today, there's no need for you to pay any attention to him" the Zishan young master laughed.

A few dozen meters above him, the Tianma enchantress appeared with her ephemeral body, wanting to strike. Suddenly, a 7-colored light appeared from his body. As soon as the Tianma touched the 7-colored light, she couldn't even manage to scream in pain and just reduced to nothing.

A lock suddenly flew out from the Zishan young master's cloak, emitting the 7-colored light around him. An overwhelming power could be felt from the 7-colored light. The Zishan young master's expression suddenly changed as he cautiously looked around himself.

"What just happened? Something seemed to have appeared just now" he put his hand on his gem ornament and quickly donned an armor.

Something strange happened so he was a bit more cautious.

"Big sis!" Wan Er yelled.

"Yes, that's my life-bound lock, it was taken and refined by him to become his own" Qing Rou muttered.

She gritted her teeth, extremely regretful. Who could've known, something she owned would help protect him against what could've been the only fatal strike. The lock was the most precious artifact in her world, a tool to counter all outer-world demons. Her world even once used that artifact to fight against the Tianma head-on. Although the Zishan young master didn't know what it was for, he instinctively felt that it was a valuable treasure so he took it.

"Damn it! Damn it! If it weren't for the life-bound lock, he would definitely not have known how to deal with the Tianma!"

During the war of the two worlds, both her parents were killed, her world literally stolen away, she herself also became a prisoner. This personal treasure of hers that carried so many memories had become another person's belonging. Qing Rou slowly closed her eyes as streams of tears slowly dripped down.

…

In the sky, another side.

{ That lock was made to counter the Tianma, containing the power of an entire world. Unfortunately, my true self cannot come here, I have no way to deal with it } the black-clothed girl spoke.

That's very hard to deal with. Rather than that, trying to kill this boy and steal the vase seems easier.

While she was thinking, Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: "With my own power, how long will it take to use [Demon's World Transportation]?"

He tested just now, although he already learned how to use [Demon's World Transportation], it's not something he can just randomly use. His spirit energy is nowhere near enough. With his current cultivation, it's impossible to activate and trigger this artifact by himself. Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized just how wrong his thinking was. Before, Venerable Xin was already a Beast Saint, yet he still had to borrow the power from another 6 Beast Saints to activate the vase.

And that was just to activate the vase itself. Afterwards, he still had to use the power of countless Tianma enchantresses hidden below Demon Clouds River to be able to open the portal connecting to the Tianma world. At the time, two Tianma went through the portal into the world and brought Bai Hua Fairy's clones into the Tianma world. Venerable Xin could never do that by himself. And he was already a Sainted realm beast.

Gu Qing Shan right now is a mere Rejuvenation realm.

The black-clothed girl smirked mockingly: { With your power alone, if you keep activating the Tianma's Pond of Vitality day-in day-out nonstop, you might be able to open the portal in a year }

The truth really is full of despair.

Gu Qing Shan's hands stopped for a split second, then he shouted: "Help me open the Demon World portal!"

{ Hm? What, you aren't giving up? } the black-clothed girl turned around to look at him.

"A Virtualized realm cultivator's soul is right under your nose; do you want it or not?" Gu Qing Shan also looked straight at her.

The black-clothed girl looked down. The man wearing the purple shirt had only just broken through Virtualized realm, it wasn't even stabilized yet. The Zishan cultivator had been staring at the Projection realm girl with eyes full of lust and desires. Such a person really is the rarest, most savory delicacy. If I can eat him, I might be able to advance to the next step. Even her eyes were boiling a bit from desires.

{ I want it, of course I do, but he's still a Virtualized realm cultivator, [Demon's World Transportation] might not be able to catch him } the black-clothed girl commented.

"That's why I need you to instantly open up the portal to the Tianma world, not even a second late! Otherwise he will escape" Gu Qing Shan said.

The black-clothed girl thought for a bit, then: { If that's the case, there is only one chance. We need even more Tianma to cast the spell together to achieve the effect you want }

The black-clothed girl began to cast seals with her hands again, borrowing the power of the Tianma's Pond of Vitality to summon more Tianma.

'Fine, I'll? try one more time, after all, this is a very rare soul, practically a one-in-a-million chance.'

Below the sky

A transparent flame struck the Great Monk of Sorrow's chest, knocking him into the ground. The bowl let out a whimper, quickly following him. The transparent flame returned into the Zishan young master's hand.

Wang Li used the laws of lightning to stun him but it was blocked by another treasure.

'I really need to get more treasures. I finally found out how precious they can be.' Wang Li thought.

"I'll give you one last chance, become my maid, if you reject, your end will be much, much worse" he stared straight at Bai Hua Fairy.

Suddenly, his expression changed: "No, that's not right, you're not the real body"

Scanning around, he flung a jet of flame at a certain direction. A green figure moved out from the void of space to dodge that flame. It was the real Bai Hua Fairy. Her hands were clasped together, quickly casting a spell. Streaks of immense spirit energy were gathered at her fingertips. The light it let out was similar to that of the sun, shining down on everything. A mysterious presence began to emit from her hands.
