Chapter 211 Returning to Old Haunts [7] With Hidden Ambitions
As Shui Qingli floated quietly in the center of this enormous whirlpool, a strange sense of peace inexplicably arose in her heart.
After all, the last time he used such a powerful spell was when he was forced to go mad and wanted to destroy everything. Now, with the same flooding of Mutian Pavilion, he felt so calm.
Sure enough, he has made progress over the years and is now able to perfectly control the power of water without being affected by it.
However, such a powerful spell consumes a tremendous amount of immortal energy. As time went by, Shui Qingli's body gradually became illusory, and her originally powerful aura weakened.
"Water Prince, please stop!" Qianqian noticed Shui Qingli's current condition and urged her with great concern.
Shui Qingli was not using his original fairy body, so he could recklessly rely on the power of his primordial spirit to ignite his current body, unleashing unprecedented fairy power, and even daring to use such a large-scale spell that infinitely consumes fairy power.
However, this approach is not without its side effects. The more recklessly he uses his immortal power, the faster his current body will collapse. Forcibly controlling such an extraordinary level of immortal power will also cause his primordial spirit to suffer a backlash.
In Qianqian's eyes, Shui Qingli's behavior was a typical case of "hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Despite the danger this posed to him, Shui Qingli ignored Qianqian's advice and persisted in channeling her immortal power to maintain the spell.
But how long can his immortal power last?
Shui Qingli was uncertain, but he had other plans, and his ultimate goal was not necessarily to win this battle.
"enough!"
Just then, Yue Yuanming, who had remained firmly on his throne even as the Mutian Pavilion was flooded, suddenly shouted, his deep and majestic voice echoing throughout the hall.
He stood up, and a deep light flashed in his eyes, which the mask could not conceal. The terrifying pressure made everyone present subconsciously tense up, and they had to devote more of their immortal power to resist it.
"The last rays of light!"
With a wave of his hand, Yue Yuanming's immense immortal power instantly severed the flowing water, quickly forcing it to both sides of the steps, and incidentally rescuing the Dharma images that were about to be swallowed by the water.
The irresistible impact caused Shui Qingli to lose her balance and fall from the air onto the broken steps, kneeling somewhat disheveled.
Excessive exertion left his body swaying precariously, and he was unable to stand up for a moment. The spell that had been concealing his wound dissipated, revealing the shocking wound beneath his tattered sleeve that had remained unerased for thousands of years.
That was when he left Mutian Pavilion, and he was injured by his power!
As the towering waves receded, Mutian Pavilion fell into an eerie silence once more. Several Dharma Images landed somewhat disheveled on the platform below the steps, not even having time to tidy their appearance, and looked at the two people facing each other on the steps with lingering fear.
Well... it can no longer be considered a standoff, since Shui Qingli is currently exhausted of her immortal power, seriously injured, and has almost lost her ability to fight.
Yue Yuanming looked down at the person he hadn't seen in a long time, his gaze inadvertently falling on the arm, where a wound that showed no signs of healing deeply stung his eyes.
Even after thousands of years, the wound is still so unsightly, as deep as the crack in their relationship that has never been "healed" since it appeared.
Moreover, Yue Yuanming felt that he couldn't understand Shui Qingli anymore. When he used the water vortex to control all the Dharma forms, he should have followed up with a powerful offensive spell. Why did he insist on using such a large-scale spell that didn't cause any real damage?
Did he have ulterior motives from the very beginning?
Shui Qingli didn't say anything, but instead struggled to stand up, her eyes fixed on Yue Yuanming with a hint of stubbornness.
Although he didn't remember what happened, the fear he felt whenever he thought of Yue Yuanming in his past life wasn't necessarily because he was being schemed against, but because of himself.
His own heart wouldn't lie; he had feelings for the person in front of him and had those kinds of emotions towards him... They must have gone through something so painful that he was willing to forget everything.
