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

She raised her hand and gently clenched it, causing a crackling sound in the air, as if she had shattered the space itself. She could clearly perceive that everything around her had become so clear and detailed that even the dust floating in the air could not escape her perception.

"Master, are you...are you alright?" Zhuque's voice trembled slightly, filled with a mixture of surprise and worry.

Lu Lingxi turned her head to look at Zhuque and smiled slightly: "I'm fine."

"Roar……"

The Soul-Devouring Vine, also known as the Phantom, let out a low roar, and its enormous vines slowly approached Lu Lingxi Yao. The originally violent aura actually subsided considerably.

When she saw the phantom's enormous body and the scorch marks on the vines from the Nirvana Fire, a strange pang of heartache welled up in her heart.

"Phantom, are you... alright?" Lu Lingxi asked softly.

The Soul-Devouring Vine didn't speak, but gently touched Lu Lingxi's cheek with its vines, as if responding to her concern.

Lu Lingxi could sense that the phantom's consciousness was still there, but it was suppressed by demonic energy and could not fully control its body.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Zhuque asked, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Lu Lingxi and the Soul-Devouring Vine, clearly still somewhat wary of the phantom's identity.

"Let's leave here first," Lu Lingxi said decisively. Now is not the time to dwell on the identity of the phantom; the most urgent task is to leave this place of trouble.

She glanced at the Yellow Spring Root not far away, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. She had thought that harvesting the Yellow Spring Root would require two pieces of ancient jade to be combined into one to break the restriction, but she did not expect that the restriction on the Yellow Spring Root had already been broken by the illusion.

She walked to the Yellow Spring Root, gently reached out and uprooted it. The whole process went smoothly without any obstacles, which surprised her. Then, she transplanted the Yellow Spring Root into the Kunlun Ring and handed it over to Ling Shu to take care of.

"Ling Shu, I'm entrusting this Yellow Spring Root to you," Lu Lingxi said to Ling Shu telepathically.

"Don't worry, Master, I will take good care of it," Ling Shu's voice rang out from within the Kunlun Ring.

After doing all this, Lu Lingxi said to Zhuque and Huanyue, "Let's go!"

Zhuque nodded, while Huanyue transformed into a stream of light and returned to Lu Lingxi Yao's spirit beast space.

"Phantom, can you control yourself?" Lu Lingxi Yao looked at the Soul-Devouring Vine.

The Soul-Devouring Vine nodded, and the huge vine began to slowly shrink, eventually transforming into a handsome man nearly two meters tall, wearing black vine armor. Although the phantom's appearance had changed, Lu Lingxi Yao could still recognize him.

Seeing that Phantom had regained some consciousness, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her immediate priority was to get everyone out of this dangerous place safely.

“Suzaku, Phantom, we must leave here immediately,” she said firmly, her gaze sweeping over her companions.

Zhuque nodded in agreement, transforming into a ball of flame that coiled around Lu Lingxi Yao, ready to deal with any potential dangers.

The phantom remained in human form, but faint black lines appeared on his skin, clearly indicating that he was still struggling against the demonic energy within him.

Just then, a powerful aura approached from afar, and the voice of the Hundred Herbs Master boomed like thunder: "Trying to leave? Not so easy!"

Lu Lingxi's heart sank. With the strength of the Hundred Herbs Venerable, escaping would not be easy, but she did not panic. Instead, she calmly began to analyze the situation.

"Phantom, can you transform back into your Demon Vine form?" she suddenly asked.

Phantom was somewhat surprised, but still nodded: "Yes, but I may not be able to control it completely."

A glint of light flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. "I have a plan."

She quickly explained her thoughts to Suzaku and Phantom. Just as the Lord of Herbs was about to arrive, Phantom transformed into a giant Soul-Devouring Vine, its tendrils as black as ink, blotting out the sky.

"Vermilion Bird, now's the time!" Lu Lingxi shouted.

The Vermilion Bird understood and spewed out a ball of blazing Nirvana Fire, enveloping the entire space in a golden-red sea of ​​fire. The flames intertwined with the demonic vines, creating a bizarre and chaotic scene.

Under the cover of flames and vines, Lu Lingxi Yao circulated the newly generated power within her body, feeling the fusion of the ten spiritual roots. She formed hand seals, and a spatial magic array unfolded beneath her feet.

"Space jump!" she whispered.

Just as the Lord of Herbs rushed into the sea of ​​fire, the figures of Lu Lingxi Yao, Zhuque, and Huanying suddenly became blurry, as if they were about to be torn apart. The Lord of Herbs' expression changed drastically. He did not expect that Lu Lingxi Yao could actually use such a profound spatial spell.

"Don't even think about escaping!" Lord Baicao roared, unleashing a palm strike that sent a torrent of spiritual energy surging forth.

However, just as his attack was about to touch Lu Lingxi Yao, the three figures completely disappeared from their original spot. The attack of the Hundred Herbs Lord missed and only hit a wisp of empty air.

The feeling of spatial jump was not pleasant. Lu Lingxi felt as if her whole body was being torn apart and reassembled. The scene in front of her changed rapidly, and she felt dizzy. When everything calmed down, she found herself in a dense forest outside the Tomb of the Underworld.

"Phew... I succeeded." Lu Lingxi Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but then coughed up a mouthful of blood. Forcibly using the power that she had not yet fully mastered had put a considerable burden on her body.

Zhuque immediately stepped forward to support her: "Master, are you alright?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head, indicating that she was fine: "I'm alright, just a little exhausted. Where's Huanying?"

They looked around and found the phantom leaning against a large tree, his breathing somewhat disordered. His humanoid form flickered constantly, occasionally revealing the characteristics of the demonic vine.

Lu Lingxi walked with difficulty to Huanying's side and gently stroked his cheek: "Huanying, hang in there, we are safe now."
