Lu Lingxi and her group left the town and continued north.

“There’s an unusual aura around us.” Lu Lingxi stopped and looked around warily.

White Tiger, Nine-Tailed Fox, and Netherworld all wore solemn expressions, their muscles tense, ready for battle.

Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, and a low roar came from afar, as if some giant beast was approaching.

“If I’m not mistaken, it should be an Earth Dragon!” Nine-Tailed Fox’s expression changed. “It’s a kind of monster that lives underground. It’s incredibly strong, has thick skin and flesh, and is very difficult to deal with.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a huge earth dragon emerged from the ground. It was tens of feet long, covered with thick scales, had a sharp horn on its head, emitted two foul odors from its nostrils, and stared intently at the crowd with its blood-red eyes.

"Roar…"

With a deafening roar, the earth dragon's massive body charged toward Lu Lingxi and the others, cracking the ground beneath its feet.

"Scatter!" Lu Lingxi gave the order, and the four of them quickly dodged in all directions to avoid the earth dragon's charge.

White Tiger charged forward first, swinging his fist and slamming it hard into the Earth Dragon's body.

With a muffled thud, a shallow dent appeared on the earth dragon's scales, but it didn't seem to cause any real damage.

However, just as the white tiger was stunned, the earth dragon suddenly swung its tail and lashed out at the white tiger. The enormous force sent the shocked white tiger flying, crashing heavily into several tree trunks not far away.

"White Tiger!" Lu Lingxi exclaimed, wanting to rush forward to help, but was blocked by the earth dragon.

"Master, don't worry, I'm fine!" The white tiger got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth, and charged at the earth dragon again.

With a flash, Youming appeared to the side of the Earth Dragon. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, sending fireballs, wooden spikes, and shadow arrows hurtling towards the Earth Dragon.

Nine-Tailed Fox quickly set up a barrier to prevent the Earth Dragon from escaping, while carefully observing the Earth Dragon's every move, trying to find its weakness.

Holding the Azure Dragon Sword, Lu Lingxi Yao saw a blur of movement rapidly around the Earth Dragon, trying to find an opportunity to strike. She noticed that the Earth Dragon's abdominal scales were relatively thin, so perhaps she could start there.

"Nine-Tailed Fox, cover me!" Lu Lingxi Yao said to Nine-Tailed Fox.

Upon hearing the command, Nine-Tailed Fox quickly formed hand seals, and a beam of azure light emanated from his body, forming a massive barrier that enveloped the Earth Dragon. The barrier not only trapped the Earth Dragon but also weakened its attack power.

At the same time, the White Tiger transformed into a golden light and rushed towards the Earth Dragon, its fists, imbued with the element of gold, slamming into the Earth Dragon's abdomen.

Meanwhile, Youming manipulated vines wrapped in black flames to launch sneak attacks from all directions, trying to distract the terrain dragon.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Earth Dragon's attention was diverted by the White Tiger and the Netherworld, Lu Lingxi Yao flashed to the lower abdomen of the Earth Dragon and poured all her spiritual power into the Azure Dragon Sword, which emitted a clear sword sound.

Lu Lingxi shouted, "Break!"

The Azure Dragon Sword pierced fiercely into the belly of the earth dragon. With a soft "plop!" sound, the Azure Dragon Sword pierced through the earth dragon's scales and penetrated deeply into its body.

Lu Lingxi gripped the Azure Dragon Sword tightly while rapidly channeling her spiritual power. The azure light on the Azure Dragon Sword grew stronger and stronger, raging within the Earth Dragon's body and destroying its internal organs.

"Roar…"

The earth dragon let out a shrill scream, twisting its body wildly and violently flinging Lu Lingxiyao away. At the same time, it swung its huge tail at Lu Lingxiyao. Already out of balance, she had no time to adjust her posture, let alone dodge the attack.

At this critical moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox teleported behind Lu Lingxi Yao and erected a small defensive barrier, thus blocking the fatal blow.

Youming seized the opportunity and hurled the fiery vines in his hand at the wound of the earth dragon. The vines were like tentacles, tearing the wound apart. The flames then spread from the wound until the earth dragon collapsed with a thud, finally turning into a giant charred corpse.

The four of them looked at the corpse of the terrain dragon and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the following days, they encountered several more attacks, some by monsters, some by demons, and some by mysterious forces lurking in the shadows.

But they resolved each of these crises one by one.

However, during a battle with a group of men in black, Lu Lingxi Yao discovered that their moves were very strange, seemingly some kind of evil technique.

"The techniques these people use seem to originate from the Demon Clan," Nine-Tailed Fox said.

Lu Lingxi nodded: "I sensed it too. These people have the aura of demonic energy, but they are different from ordinary demons. They seem to be more evil."

"Could it be a branch of the demon race?" the white tiger guessed.

Youming shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it. I've seen many demonic techniques, but none of them are similar to these people's techniques."

Lu Lingxi Yao pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what these people are, since they have their eyes on us, their purpose is definitely not simple. We must deal with them carefully."

However, after only a few days of peace, trouble came knocking.

Lu Lingxi's expression changed drastically. "Not good, a master is coming!" As soon as she finished speaking, a dark figure descended from the sky.

The newcomer was a man dressed in a black robe with a silver mask on his face. Although his appearance was not visible, the aura emanating from him indicated that his strength far surpassed that of the Earth Dragon.

"Who are you? If you've come for the Chaos Essence, then go back to where you came from, or you'll lose your lives," the black-robed man asked coldly.

Lu Lingxi didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "And who are you? Why did you attack us?"

The man in black robes sneered, "You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is that if you continue forward, you'll have to hand over your lives."

Before Lu Lingxi could reply, he suddenly attacked, a black light emanating from his hand and hurtling towards Lu Lingxi and the others.

Lu Lingxi and the others hurriedly dodged, but the black light was extremely fast and powerful, and they couldn't completely avoid it.

"Bang bang bang!" Several muffled sounds rang out as Lu Lingxi, Jiuwei, Youming, and Baihu were all struck by the black light, flying backward and spitting out blood.

"He's so strong!" Lu Lingxi struggled to her feet, her face instantly turning ashen, with blood still lingering at the corner of her mouth.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, the Netherworld, and the White Tiger were in similar situations, all suffering severe injuries.

"Your strength is not bad!" the black-robed man said coldly, "but now, you are all going to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked again, and a black light even stronger than before rushed towards Lu Lingxi and the others.

At this moment, Lu Lingxi was powerless to resist. Was she really going to die here?

Just then, a white light descended from the sky, blocking Lu Lingxi and the others.

With a deafening roar, the black and white lights collided, and the powerful energy surge instantly destroyed everything around them.

The man in black robes was forced back a few steps by the energy fluctuation. He looked up at the sky and saw a woman in white slowly descending.

The woman in white had eyes as cold as frost, and her expressionless face remained blank. She glanced at the man in black and said coldly, "Get lost..."

The man in black robes looked at the woman in white, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. He snorted coldly, "Hmph, consider yourself lucky." Then he turned and left.

The woman in white turned around and looked at Lu Lingxi and the others.

"Are you alright?" the woman in white asked, her voice cool yet tinged with concern.

Lu Lingxi shook her head: "We're fine, thank you for saving us."

The woman in white nodded: "You came here to search for the Chaos Essence?"

Lu Lingxi was taken aback: "How did you know?"

The woman in white smiled and said, "I not only know that you are searching for the Chaos Essence, but I also know that you encountered a curse in the Time Corridor."

Lu Lingxi's expression changed: "Who exactly are you?"

The woman in white did not answer her question, but continued, "Your fate is inextricably linked to the Chaos Essence. Only by finding the Chaos Essence can you break the curse."

“But we have no idea where the Chaos Spirit Marrow is located,” Lu Lingxi Yao said.

The woman in white pointed north: "Keep heading north, and you will find the answer."

After saying that, she vanished from the spot in a flash.

Lu Lingxi looked in the direction where the woman in white had disappeared, her heart filled with doubt and shock. Who exactly was this mysterious woman? Why did she help them? What did her words mean?

"Master, is that woman's word believable?" Youming's voice broke the silence.

Lu Lingxi Yao came to her senses and took a deep breath. "No matter who she is, she has at least shown us the way."

Nine-Tailed Fox stepped forward, a hint of worry on her face: "Is the Chaos Essence... really in the north?"

Lu Lingxi gently shook her head: "I don't know, but we have no other choice. Nalan Rongzhi's poison is still not cured, and the curse of the Time Corridor is ever-present. The Chaos Spirit Essence is our only hope."

The white tiger's honest voice rang out: "Stop talking nonsense, just listen to your master. No matter what lies ahead, we'll brave it together!"

Lu Lingxi looked at the white tiger, a hint of warmth flashing in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Alright! Let's continue on our way!"
