Chapter 612: [Wan Luo]

*Pfft. *

Excruciating pain came from the chest.

The Grand Priest was shocked. She was concentrating on guarding against Ji Tianrui's attack—even though her vision had been destroyed by Gu poison, she could be sure that Ji Tianrui had made no move at all!

It wasn't true energy!

Even less was it a hidden weapon!

Then what on earth had hurt her!

Was this the Xuanlan of this Heavenly Demon demoness?

But in the previous struggle, she had clearly beaten her into serious injury several times, and once she had almost killed her... Why had Ji Tianrui never used this means!

What exactly was her Xuanlan connected to? Sumeru, Jiezi, or Vajra!

The Grand Priest raised her hand to cover the wound. The wound was not deep, but she could clearly feel a cold, damp sensation spreading from the wound.

This feeling she was all too familiar with—Gu poison!

"【Wan Luo】."

In a trance, she heard Ji Tianrui laugh lightly.

"This is my Xuanlan."

"As for the Life Cultivation Realm I am connected to."

"It is Sumeru."

Sumeru?

The Grand Priest was stunned.

Her first reaction was that Ji was lying.

Although the Xuanlan realm is all-encompassing and varies from person to person, the Xuanlan connected to the same Life Cultivation Realm naturally has similarities.

The Sumeru Realm is a state of wielding vast true energy with strategic mastery and unrestrained power.

How could the Xuanlan connected to Sumeru be so strange, and how could it inject Gu poison... Gu arts and martial arts should be fundamentally incompatible!

With anxiety attacking her heart, she took a step forward.

"You—"

Just as the words left her mouth, she heard Ji Tianrui laugh lightly again.

*Pfft! *

Her perspective tilted to one side.

The excruciating pain surged into her mind the next instant. Below her right knee, there was no sensation at all. The cross-section sent a burning, sharp pain, and her left leg had been inexplicably severed.

The severed leg was just a small matter. What was truly fatal was that a massive amount of Gu poison drilled into her body along her severed leg, triggering the existing Gu poison to run wild in her body.

The injury that was already forcibly suppressed began to stir again.

She could only strike one more sword.

But Ji Tianrui's means of attacking her were untraceable, and she didn't approach at all. Across such a long distance, even if she used her last sword, Ji Tianrui could calmly avoid it.

At the end of her rope.

She had truly lost.

If it were an ordinary Heaven-Man, perhaps she would admit defeat and die, but out of faith in Amaterasu Omikami, this near-desperate situation awakened her sanity like a flash of light before death.

"【Wan Luo】... in Central Plains language means all-encompassing."

"Since it is connected to Sumeru, it means her Xuanlan is related to some property of true energy... concealment, formlessness, is this the property of her true energy?"

"But if there is only this point, why not use it when the struggle first began... and how could she inject Gu poison into my body?"

The Grand Priest's thoughts turned like lightning.

Holding the inheritance of Amaterasu Omikami, her understanding of the Nature Cultivation Realm far exceeded everyone in the world, even exceeding Li Miao and Ji Tianrui. But the more this was the case, the more chaotic her guesses became, and she could never reach a conclusion that could integrate all the clues.

She searched through all the allusions mentioning "Wan Luo" in Central Plains classics in her memory, but found nothing.

The Gu poison became more and more turbulent.

Even the strength to strike the last sword began to be forcibly eroded and worn away, and her sanity gradually became more and more dim.

"What exactly is it..."

Figuring out the secret of Ji Tianrui's Xuanlan realm had become her final obsession.

"Sigh..."

A sigh sounded in front of her, only a foot away. It was Ji Tianrui's voice.

*Swish—clang! *

The Grand Priest drew her sword instinctively, but was suddenly held down by a warm, soft hand, forcibly pressing the blade back into the scabbard.

"You can no longer strike that last sword." ===== CHAPTER 613 =====
