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

“Okay!” Lu Lingxi and Di Lin responded in unison.

"Strangle the Vine!"

The swamp spirit seemed to sense the danger and let out an angry roar. Countless vines and tentacles, like raging pythons, came from all directions and frantically attacked the three of them. At the same time, a destructive black beam shot out from its huge single eye, heading straight for Nalan Rongzhi.

"Cage of Ice!"

Lu Lingxi and Yao moved their hands in unison, fusing water and ice elemental spiritual power to instantly condense a huge ice crystal cage in front of Nalan Rongzhi, attempting to trap the vines.

"Elemental Protection - Ninefold Shield!"

Di Lin pushed the nine elemental powers to their limits, creating layers of elemental shields around the three of them to block the aftershocks of the destructive beam.

"boom--"

The black beam of light slammed into the elemental shield and the ice prison. The ice prison shattered instantly, and the elemental shield crumbled layer by layer. Di Lin groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he still held on desperately.

In this brief moment of obstruction, Nalan Rongzhi's attack was finally ready: "Shadow Descent - Annihilation Finger!"

He slowly raised his right index finger, and a wisp of black mist condensed on the tip of his finger. The black mist contained a terrifying power that could make the space itself tremble.

He gently touched the giant single eye of the Swamp Spirit, and a black ray of light, like a shooting star piercing the eternal night, shot precisely into the scarlet eye.

"Ow—"

The swamp spirit let out a shrill howl, its voice filled with pain and fear. Its massive body trembled violently, and its huge single eye dimmed rapidly at a visible speed, with spiderweb-like cracks appearing on the surface of the eyeball.

Immediately afterwards, with a muffled "bang!", the one-eyed man exploded, scattering countless black energy fragments in all directions.

The swamp spirit's massive body, as if losing its support, began to rapidly collapse and disintegrate. The twisted vines withered and broke, and the pained faces embedded within them vanished. In the end, only a patch of foul-smelling black sludge remained. At the same time, the black miasma also dissipated rapidly, as if it had lost its source.

"Huff... huff..." Lu Lingxi and Di Lin both breathed a sigh of relief, slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

Nalan Rongzhi withdrew his finger, his face slightly pale. Clearly, the attack had taken a toll on him. He walked to Lu Lingxi Yao's side, helped her up, and carefully checked her over. Only after confirming that she was unharmed did he feel relieved.

With the death of the swamp spirit, the broken stone tablet stopped shaking, and the red light on it gradually faded, returning to its previous appearance.

The three dared not linger there. After briefly restoring their spiritual and physical strength, they immediately left the strange open space and continued their journey toward Tongtian Peak.

As you pass through the Bewitching Swamp, the suffocating miasma gradually thins out, replaced by a gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees.

Lu Lingxi, Yao, and the other two stopped in unison, panting slightly with exhaustion. After traversing the Crimson Flame Valley and the Bewitching Swamp, even with their high cultivation levels, they couldn't stop their physical strength from being depleted.

Di Lin, in particular, not only had to constantly resist the erosion of his mind by the miasma of the swamp, but also had to be distracted by sensing the location of the Nine Luminaries Celestial Plate, resulting in a particularly huge loss of mental energy.

Nalan Rongzhi was in slightly better condition, but in order to protect Lu Lingxi and Di Lin, he maintained the demonic energy barrier, which also consumed a lot of energy.

Only Lu Lingxi Yao, thanks to her powerful mental strength and the purifying power of the divine fragments, was in relatively better condition, but she could not hide the trace of weariness between her brows.

"call……"

Di Lin let out a long sigh of relief. The guidance from the mark between his eyebrows became clearer and stronger. A hint of excitement appeared on his pale face. "It's there. I can feel it. The Nine Luminaries Celestial Star Compass is on Tongtian Peak!"

After a short rest, the three continued their journey towards Tongtian Peak. Ahead lay a mountainous and hilly area, sparsely vegetated and somewhat desolate.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Suddenly, sharp whooshing sounds rang out from all directions as dozens of energy arrows shot out from behind the bushes.

At the same time, a piercing whistling sound came from the sky. Several energy stones, with tremendous impact, crashed down from the heights on both sides. Several dark green energy beams, carrying a corrosive aura, silently shot towards the three people's vital points from tricky angles.

The three of them defended and dodged almost instinctively. Nalan Rongzhi instantly pulled Lu Lingxi into his arms, and his demonic energy suddenly erupted, forming a rotating black barrier that crushed most of the energy arrows and energy beams.

Di Lin reacted quickly, his nine-colored demonic power flowing instantly, and a thick earthen wall rose from the ground to block the way, while simultaneously drawing on wind elements to try to deflect the falling stones.

However, the incident happened so suddenly, and the area was uneven, which inevitably affected their movements.

Although they managed to block the first wave of attacks, the three of them still looked somewhat disheveled, their blood and qi churning from the impact. Di Lin, in particular, had expended a considerable amount of demonic power in order to instantly condense the earthen wall, and his face had turned even paler.

"Archers on the high ground to the left!" With his keen eyesight, Di Lin caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past behind a rock in the distance.

"There's an energy fluctuation to the right front!" Lu Lingxi Yao's mental energy quickly spread out, locking onto several hidden spellcasters.

“There are more from behind!” Nalan Rongzhi’s cold gaze swept behind him, where several dark figures were quietly flanking them from the direction they had come from.

The three quickly realized that they had fallen into a carefully laid ambush. The surrounding terrain had been cleverly utilized by the enemy. On both sides were relatively high hills and piles of strange rocks, providing excellent shooting positions and cover for ranged attackers. The platform area where they were located seemed to be open, but in fact the ground was full of gravel and shallow pits, which restricted their space for high-speed movement and dodging. Further away, there seemed to be a narrow passage, which was the only way to Tongtian Peak, but at this moment, the entrance to that passage was also blocked by several powerful auras.

"It's an array!" While defending against the attack, Lu Lingxi Yao keenly sensed an anomaly in the energy flow of the surrounding space. A subtle yet powerful energy fluctuation, like a giant dome, enveloped the area. "This array has the effects of concealment, energy gathering, and restricting spatial movement!"

No wonder the enemy could hide their figures so perfectly. Their attack power seemed to be amplified. Lu Lingxi tried to use spatial power to teleport a short distance, but found that space was frozen and was greatly obstructed.

"Hmph, it's the Black Abyss again!" Nalan Rongzhi's killing intent intensified; he sensed a familiar aura from the attack.

"It's not just the people from Black Abyss." Di Lin's expression grew even more grim as he parried the energy arrows. "The demonic power attached to those arrows... it's the aura of the Black Wind Wolf Clan and the Blood Bat Clan. They've actually sided with Black Abyss!"
