Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

"What's happening here?"

Lu Lingxi looked at the scene before her, her heart filled with doubt. She had never seen such a sight before. The collision of the flames of the Vermilion Bird and the Nine-Tailed Fox could actually dispel the fog. This was simply unbelievable.

"Master, this karmic fire is powerful, but not invincible." The Vermilion Bird's voice echoed in Lu Lingxi Yao's mind. "My Phoenix Fire can restrain it, but it will take time."

"How long will it take?" Lu Lingxi asked.

“At least fifteen minutes,” Suzaku replied. “During this time, I need to concentrate on fighting the karmic fire and cannot be distracted by anything else.”

“A quarter of an hour…” Lu Lingxi frowned. A quarter of an hour is neither a long nor a short time, but in this treacherous Misty Canyon, every second is full of variables.

"Master, you and Huan Yue hold off the Nine-Tailed Fox for now, I'll deal with this karmic fire!" Huan Ying's voice suddenly rang out, filled with determination.

"Phantom, you..."

Lu Lingxi looked at the phantom. Fine scales had grown on its body, and a pair of fluffy fox ears had grown on its head. It was clear that it had been affected by the power of the demon fox.

"Master, I'm alright!" Phantom's eyes were resolute. "I can sense a powerful force within the blood of this fox demon. This force can help me fight against the karmic fire!"

“But…” Lu Lingxi Yao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the phantom.

“Master, trust me!” Phantom said, “I won’t let you down!”

After saying that, Phantom charged at the Nine-Tailed Fox again. Countless vines sprouted from his body, covered with sharp barbs, which pierced the Nine-Tailed Fox's body.

The nine-tailed fox let out a painful roar, struggling frantically to shake off the phantom. However, the phantom's vines tightly bound the nine-tailed fox, frantically devouring its blood.

"Phantom, how are you?" Lu Lingxi asked worriedly.

“Master…I’m alright…” Phantom’s voice was weak. “I’m…absorbing the power of this fox demon…”

"Phantom, you must hold on!" Lu Lingxi said. "Phantom Moon and I will help you hold off the Nine-Tailed Fox!"

“Okay…” Phantom’s voice grew weaker and weaker, and his body began to tremble violently.

Lu Lingxi Yao knew that Huan Ying was enduring immense pain, and she had to find a way to help him as soon as possible. "Huan Yue, let's go!" Lu Lingxi Yao said to Huan Yue.

"Ouch!"

Huan Yue responded and transformed into a silver lightning bolt, rushing towards the Nine-Tailed Fox. Lu Lingxi Yao followed closely behind, wielding her Flying Snow Sword and slashing at the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The nine-tailed fox was covered in wounds, and its movements had become sluggish, but its eyes remained fierce. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed a ball of blue flames at Lu Lingxi and Huan Yue.

"Watch out!" Lu Lingxi shouted, and she quickly dodged away. Huan Yue also dodged the attack of the flames with her agility.

However, at that moment, Phantom suddenly let out a painful howl, and his body began to swell violently, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

"Phantom!" Lu Lingxi exclaimed in surprise. She wanted to rush over to save the phantom, but found that she could not move her body.

"Master... run..." the phantom's voice came intermittently, "I... I can't control myself anymore..."

"Phantom, what's wrong with you?" Lu Lingxi asked anxiously.

"I...I think...I saw..." The phantom's voice grew weaker and weaker, "I saw...the underworld..."

"The Underworld?" Lu Lingxi was taken aback. She didn't understand why the phantom would suddenly mention the Demon Realm.

“Blood Moon…the Temple of the Underworld…” The phantom’s voice grew increasingly faint, “The Soul-Devouring Vines…entwined…the dome…”

“The Temple of the Underworld?” Lu Lingxi’s pupils suddenly contracted. She remembered the white-clad phantom she had seen when the teleportation array malfunctioned, and Huan Yue’s words, “It’s you…”.

"The man in black robes... replaced... the core of the temple..." The phantom's voice grew weaker and weaker, "Immortal Healer's Dock... a counterfeit... the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth..."

"Immortal Healer's Dock?!" Lu Lingxi's expression changed drastically. She finally understood why there was the secret inscription of Immortal Healer's Dock on the tail of the nine-tailed fox.

“Memory…the last…” The phantom’s voice was almost inaudible, “Nalan…Rong Zhi…the back of his hand…holding…the broken…Netherworld Sword…”

"What?!" Lu Lingxi's heart skipped a beat; she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"The Temple...traitors...must die!"

Suddenly, the phantom roared in the demon language, and countless vines shot out in all directions, piercing through the body of the nine-tailed fox.
