Chapter 856: Ye Qingran Turns Into a Butterfly

"Is that all your skill?"

Luo Dongyu let out a fierce shout, and as his words fell a massive purple formation appeared before him, from which a gigantic mysterious turtle emerged, its huge maw gaping, sharp teeth exposed, letting out a long howl, the formation cloaked in a thick layer of armor.

Bang~

The clash of the giant dragon and the mysterious turtle erupted with a deafening roar, golden and violet light burst, energy vanished in an instant, blasting out a piercing sound wave; the dazzling glare made eyes unable to open. Though everyone was prepared, they still were inadvertently injured.

"Too strong!"

Everyone's hearts trembled.

Even Xia Zhimeng and the others wore shocked faces.

Whether Ling Shaoyang or Xuan Yuan Luo, whether Lu Yunfeng or Qin Feixue, they had never seen Ye Qingran fight seriously.

Even back on Beimingzhou, facing numerous Holy Lords, Ye Qingran seemed very calm.

"Is this the true power of Instructor Ye?"

Hong Wu's heart raced, feeling her blood boiling.

Even the pinnacle Emperor was helpless before Instructor Ye!

"Sister Qingran..."

Xia Zhimeng, Ling Shaoyang and the others were also amazed.

As for Yun Tinglan, Yun Qing and other Yun Tribe members, their expressions were increasingly shocked!

Ye Qingran never imagined she could so easily defeat Luo Dongyu; when one move failed, she launched another. She poured Mysterious Force and spiritual power as if they were free, her dazzling attacks fully effective yet unencumbered, with no wasted motion.

Thus, the two sides clashed for over a dozen exchanges!

Luo Dongyu's expression at this moment could only be described as extremely ugly.

He thought he could easily slay Ye Qingran, but she turned out so tenacious!

Of course, he also realized that much of Ye Qingran's strength came from the armor on her body and the sword in her hand.

"Such a fine thing can only reach its greatest value in my hands!" Luo Dongyu thought, greed flashing in his eyes.

"Ye Qingran, this ends here!"

Luo Dongyu bellowed in a deep voice, and as his words fell, a tiny tower appeared in his hand.

He twitched his finger, the small tower rose from his palm, expanding, and soon a massive tower dozens of zhang tall materialized in the space, making the once spacious area feel cramped.

The tower was earth‑yellow, its surface etched with obscure inscriptions that glittered with golden light.

"Ye Qingran, since you can die within the Haotian Tower, consider it an honor!"

When Luo Dongyu said that, everyone below opened their mouths, faces full of disbelief.

Is this the legendary Haotian Tower?

The Haotian Tower is a divine relic, passed down in Wuji Hall, the hall's treasured centerpiece, belonging exclusively to each Holy Lord!

"Enter!"

Luo Dongyu said casually, and a golden ray shot out from the base of the Haotian Tower, enveloping Ye Qingran.

In that instant, Ye Qingran felt an invisible pressure as heavy as Mount Tai bearing down on her shoulders; she tried to flee, but her strength failed her.

Moreover, a massive suction tried to pull her into the Haotian Tower.

Ye Qingran clenched her teeth, holding firm.

"Ye Qingran, I advise you to stop struggling; you cannot break free!"

A contemptuous smile appeared on Luo Dongyu's face.

The Haotian Tower is their Wuji Hall's supreme treasure, ancient since antiquity, how could Ye Qingran possibly oppose it?

If he hadn't wanted a swift victory, why summon the Haotian Tower?

"Is that so?"

Ye Qingran clenched her teeth, looked up at Luo Dongyu.

The resolve hidden in that gaze made Luo Dongyu's expression shift.

He made a swift decision, pressed his two fingers together, channeling Mysterious Force into the Haotian Tower, amplifying its power; Ye Qingran's body lifted off the ground, hovering in the void, seemingly ready to be sucked in at any moment.

Luo Dongyu showed a satisfied smile.

But the next second, he could no longer smile.

Because Ye Qingran still managed to walk beyond the golden light's enclosure.

Though her steps were slow and each stride arduous, she kept moving outward!

"Impossible!"

Luo Dongyu frowned, unable to believe Ye Qingran, even while restrained by the Haotian Tower, could still escape; this had never happened before!

"The Hall Master of Wuji Hall, with such meager skill?"

Ye Qingran turned her face aside, giving a disdainful smile.

"Damn it!" Luo Dongyu gritted his teeth, seeing the Haotian Tower's power surge to its peak, the golden blaze scorching eyes, the massive suction overwhelming everyone, even forcing them to risk their lives and flee to the edge of the Fudao.

"If you think this little skill can kill me, then I can only say, what a damn Haotian Tower!"

"Ye Qingran, go die!"

Luo Dongyu grew even more furious. He had thought the Haotian Tower alone could bury Ye Qingran without a trace, but reality left him greatly disappointed.

It seems he still must act!

A fierce assault surged toward Ye Qingran; she summoned Mysterious Force to block, but under the Haotian Tower's weakening effect, she couldn't mount a perfect defense, even her speed lagged.

Luo Dongyu's strike hammered Ye Qingran's chest, hurling her away; she broke out of the Haotian Tower's golden light zone, left the formation, and plummeted toward the endless starry sky below.

"Mother!"

"Sister!"

"Qingran!"

"Instructor Ye!"

Who still doesn't know that this expanse of starry sky is merely an illusion, and falling into it means eternal doom?

Ye Qingran flew backward, like a butterfly with broken wings.

Bright blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, exquisitely bewitching.

Ye Qingran, having left Fudao, for a while, because of the immense pain, could not move; when she finally came to, she found her body seemed not her own, unable to fly upward, only able to fall endlessly downward, as if an invisible hand were pulling her down.

That Fudao grew farther and farther from her, and those sounds gradually grew faint.

She wanted to speak, but found she could not make any sound.

Her eyelids felt heavy.

Before her consciousness fully sank into darkness, the stars before her eyes, which were originally distinct, began to blur, and she saw a figure,
