The Emperor's Domineering Favor, the Evil Consort's Unparalleled Reign

Yi Bicheng saw Ying Li and Yin Lie being forced into the Fallen Ghost Formation by Chu Jue and Mu Huan from afar, and his expression changed drastically. Ying Li's condition was not right. Apart from the inner demon, Chu Jue must have used other tricks!

"Pfft!" Ying Li knelt on the ground, his right hand gripping the dry grass to support his body. The blood he spat out was black, and as soon as it hit the ground, it corroded the dry grass into ash! It's not hard to imagine the kind of pain Ying Li was enduring!

"The spirit beast's inner pearl that Ying Li ate was poisoned! What poison did you give her?! She's in so much pain!" Yin Lie roared. Looking at Ying Li's condition, he felt both heartache and guilt. If he hadn't provoked her inner fire, she wouldn't have been corrupted by her inner demons. Now that someone had taken advantage of her vulnerability, escaping the trap would be difficult!

Yin Lie snorted coldly, his spiritual power continuously gathering. Mu Huan's smug face suddenly froze. Although Yin Lie was not as strong as Chu Jue, his ability was only half a percent lower than Chu Jue's!

He could hardly imagine how powerful Yin Lie would be if he had a physical body!

Yin Lie was constrained by the pain of losing his memories, and even when he helped Ying Li fight the enemy, he could not use his full strength. Now that his abilities and memories have been awakened, if he has a physical body, he will definitely be stronger!

Today, even if it means being reduced to ashes, he will not let Ying Li get into trouble!

Yi Bicheng disappeared. He had to go and tell Fu Cheng and Nangong Lin immediately, otherwise, if Ling Jue made a move, Ying Li would be in grave danger!

"Blood Moon Sect Master, even if your skill is only half a percent less than mine, that half percent is an insurmountable chasm for you! I advise you to save your energy!" Chu Jue said. If the two of them were to fight, he would have to put in some effort. Although Ling Jue never made a mistake, he still felt something was off.

"Ying Li! Wake up! Ying Li!" Yin Lie called out Ying Li's name. The latter struggled to lift her head and look at Yin Lie. Her vision was blurry. There were raging fires burning in her abdomen. The fires and the black mist outside attacked her body from both sides, making her unable to resist at all!

With his mental energy completely suppressed, Ying Li stood up unsteadily and finally saw Chu Jue and Mu Huan clearly in front of him!

"I should have been wary of you, Mu Huan. I just trusted Yin Huan too much and underestimated your ruthlessness," Ying Li said, then coughed violently.

As the power of the Fallen Demon Formation continued to increase, her spiritual power weakened and her mental strength was suppressed. If she did not go out to form the formation, she would only suffer more.

"Stop talking nonsense, Ying Li! You're just too arrogant. From the first moment I met you, you've been so arrogant, and you still haven't changed this bad habit. Don't blame everyone for targeting you!" Mu Huan's eyes turned cold as she looked at Chu Jue beside her and said coldly, "What, Chu Jue, aren't you going to make a move?!"

Chu Jue's expression changed slightly. Mu Huan was ruthless and vicious, and extremely spoiled, but he was still the second prince of the Mu Dynasty. How could he have such an attitude towards the only Spirit Lord on the Spirit Domain Continent!

However, at crucial moments, these things shouldn't be taken too seriously; dealing with Ying Li is the most important thing to do first!

Sharp blades materialized in his hand, flashing with cold light, and countless blades, like stars scattered across the sky, suddenly attacked Ying Li's direction!

Yin Lie's expression changed drastically. He gathered his spiritual power and flashed to Ying Li's side, blocking the sharp blade for her. However, Chu Jue had used all his strength from the very beginning!

The sharp blade pierced through Yin Lie's body and swiftly attacked Ying Li's direction!

"This is... no, it's Ying Li's ability to control the Bone Ring is rapidly decreasing! Damn it! If this continues, she won't be able to summon us until she dies!" Yin Lie cursed, and when he turned around, he still couldn't think of a way to block those sharp blades for Ying Li!

"Bang bang bang!!!" The sharp blade was blocked by the spiritual energy barrier that Ying Li desperately created. Chu Jue raised an eyebrow. Ying Li stretched out his right hand, and the spiritual energy of the barrier flowed continuously from Ying Li's palm. The power of the barrier became stronger and stronger, while Ying Li's face became worse and worse!

"Ying Li, stop resisting! The more you resist, the weaker you'll become, and the faster you'll die! Look, your Ghost Realm blood is constantly draining away, and you're almost at your breaking point. I've used all my strength, and you only have a few days left to live!" Chu Jue said, and the speed at which he laid down the sharp blades increased!

"Pfft!" Ying Li coughed up blood. She slowly knelt down, her right hand still reaching out, but the mental energy barrier had been transformed into a spiritual energy barrier powered by the Devouring Spirit Stone!

Ying Li stared in horror at the red starlight emanating from her outstretched right hand, feeling an excruciating pain that seemed to peel away her skin and erode her very bones! She realized how terrifying it was for her powers to dissipate within the Fallen Ghost Array, and she sensed the aura of death drawing ever closer to her!

After the red starlight that emanated from his body detached, it seemed to turn into ashes, lingering on Ying Li's outstretched fingertips. The ashes reluctantly stayed on Ying Li's fingertips, but could never return to Ying Li's body!

"Ying Li, you are a genius among geniuses, but unfortunately, you were born with the wrong constitution! If you were an ordinary little girl from the Spirit Realm, your abilities would be recognized by the entire Spirit Realm, and your Ying family would only be more powerful than my Chu family! However, you are an annoying anomaly! Die! After you die, everything will return to normal! Everything was just a dream you had! But your dream will never end!"

Ying Li stared coldly at Chu Jue, but was powerless to resist. The spiritual energy on the Devouring Spirit Stone was constantly being dissipated and absorbed by her body, while the spiritual energy within her body was being continuously destroyed by the Fallen Ghost Array! In just a few hours, the Devouring Spirit Stone would shatter, and she would have to use her flesh and blood to resist the ferocious Chu Jue and the Fallen Ghost Array! She would end up being reduced to ashes!

Is this miserable and short life destined to end so unwillingly?!

"Pfft!" Ying Li felt a tightness in her chest and spat out another mouthful of blood. While she felt relieved, she also felt a huge emptiness! The pain was lessened, and Ying Li only felt tired and sleepy. Her body slumped outwards and collapsed to the ground.

The Spirit Devouring Stone began to shatter. Yin Lie shouted loudly in Ying Li's ear, but Ying Li's body was no longer under his control. Ying Li stared blankly at Yin Lie floating beside him, his lips twitching twice, but he couldn't say a word.

"Hmph! Is that all the skill you've got? Even a Ninth-Level Spirit Saint is nothing special!" Mu Huan stared disdainfully at Ying Li, who was lying on the ground, gradually losing his ability to resist, feeling extremely pleased with himself!

"Ying Li! Ying Li!" When Chu Lianyi and the others arrived, the Spirit Devouring Stone in Ying Li's hand was already mostly broken, and it looked like Ying Li was about to faint.

"Grandpa, Chu Lianyi never intended to attack you! But if you insist, don't blame me for being impolite!!!" Chu Lianyi gathered spiritual energy into a sword and attacked towards Chu Jue! Fu Cheng, Nangong Lin, Yi Bicheng, Li Xiyue, and the Xuan Clan disciples all joined the fray!

Chu Jue's face turned very ugly when he saw Chu Lianyi, but no matter how much these people struggled, they were no match for him!

As Ying Li fell, apart from Chu Jue and Mu Huan, it was as if someone had summoned them from both the Spirit and Ghost Realms, and a large army surged into the Spirit Beast Mountain Range! Those two groups of people had actually come to kill Ying Li!

Ying Li's side was clearly at a disadvantage! Fu Cheng and Nangong Lin joined forces and barely managed to trap those with low spiritual power in the Spirit and Ghost Realms within the illusion. However, there were too many experts in those two groups, and some always managed to slip through the net!

With Chu Jue making his move, Chu Lianyi and the others had absolutely no chance to retaliate!

"puff!"

The Spirit Devouring Stone in Ying Li's hand suddenly shattered, and she was plunged into immense pressure, unable to live or die!

"Sun and moon..."

Ying Li watched as Chu Lianyi was struck down by Chu Jue's palm, her lips trembling slightly. She gritted her teeth, emphasizing that she had to find a way to survive! Otherwise, all her friends would die. They absolutely, positively could not be harmed! Even if it meant risking her life, Ying Li would protect them!

"Together...exist..."

"Lan Qi! Ying Li, are you out of your mind? You dare summon a divine beast at this critical moment! Stop, stop now!" Yin Lie roared, but the Bone Ring had lost its effect, and he couldn't control Ying Li at all!

"Day and night... alternation... spirit... spiritual energy reverses... phantom spirit beast!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The roar of the divine beast answered Lan Qi's call, but the Spirit Beast Mountain Range was deathly silent. Ying Li stared blankly at the empty sky, suddenly sinking into an endless despair. She couldn't even summon the divine beast?!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Yingli cursed and screamed incessantly in her heart! She was unwilling to let it end like this! Unwilling! Unwilling to accept it all!!!

"Ying Li, you...you see..."

Yin Lie's surprised voice came over, and Ying Li raised his head in a daze. He saw a white figure appear on the horizon. The figure was handsome and dashing, like a thin mist that filled the whole world with a faint sense of carefree ease...
