The high priest's lips trembled as he reached out to activate the crystal again.

But that thing had been blown to pieces, leaving only half a stone core oozing a purplish-red turbid liquid.

He could only stare blankly, barely breathing.

"You... destroyed me, and Loulan... will also perish..."

Ruyue strode over, leaning on a dagger, her expression chilling.

Whether Loulan is destroyed or not is none of your business.

She raised her blade and threw it at his heart. The high priest coughed up blood on the spot, his face contorted in pain, and then fell silent.

Silence fell; the palace was no longer shrouded in ghostly mist, as if a nightmare had finally come to an end.

The battle was extremely brutal, and the high priest's corpse still exuded a heavy aura of resentment.

Lin Tian withdrew the bone whip, and his body suddenly became intensely hot, with the Blood Spirit Pearl floating on his body.

The Empress and the Goddess of Asura also noticed something amiss. They exchanged a glance and discovered that their carapaces were trembling.

"This bead looks like it's going to swallow us whole..."

The Asura Goddess spoke with difficulty, her back throbbing with pain, yet she inexplicably felt her blood vessels being awakened.

The Empress tried to let go, but the Blood Spirit Orb spun around on its own, locking the three of them in place once again.

Ruyue didn't say much, only sighed softly.

A scorching red light rose straight up, dragging Lin Tian's fire attribute into an invisible furnace.

The bone whip was twisted by the flames, emitting a dazzling white light, as if its outer shell was melting.

The cold energy that the Empress had accumulated over the years also burst forth, squeezing together with the fire element to form a strange fusion.

The Asura Goddess's evil energy was forced out of her tortoise shell, flashing with bluish-black light, and entangled with the red torrent.

The three energies merged into a chaotic vortex, using the Blood Spirit Pearl as a medium.

At that center, it seemed as if countless tiny stars were flowing, rewriting the origins of their bloodline.

Lin Tian couldn't resist; he could only vaguely sense that his original turtle body was breaking down and reforming.

The Empress was shaken, but she did not speak out to stop it.

The Asura Goddess gritted her teeth inwardly, unable to struggle, and vaguely sensed a new life force.

Kisaragi took a few steps back, staring at their silhouettes.

The whirlpool grew stronger and stronger, and tiles continued to fall from the crack in the roof.

Knowing the opportunity was precious, she covered her abdominal wound and forced herself to nod.

"Blood Spirit Pearl... Now that I've acknowledged you, I'll give you the last bit of power Loulan has left..."

In the center of the palace, the three beams of light had become blurred from their turtle-like shape.

The shell fragments fell to the ground like meteors, creating countless craters.

Within the crimson light, a human silhouette could be discerned, accompanied by deep, resonant pulses.

The fiery power in Lin Tian's mind completely merged with the Blood Spirit Pearl, swelling in every cell of his body.

"Wow, is it about to transform into human form?"

He was filled with shock and secret excitement.

The Empress merely gestured with her gaze, yet she could not suppress the immense energy that surged like a tsunami.

As the Asura Goddess's shell shed, a pair of ferocious horns burst forth from her back, constantly expanding and shrinking.

Suddenly, the Blood Spirit Orb erupted with a final beam of light, like a volcanic eruption, engulfing all three of them.

The beam of light pierced the palace roof and met the dark night sky.

Dust and sand poured down, but they couldn't contain the monstrous wave.

Then, heavy breaths appeared and disappeared in the dust and smoke.

Lin Tian first stretched out his arm; it was a strong arm with smooth muscle lines.

The empress knelt on a pile of rubble, her silver-gray hair flowing down to her waist, a chill still lingering around her.

A short thorn remained on the back of the Asura Goddess, while the rest of her tortoise shell had vanished.

They actually managed to become human.

"real or fake?"

Lin Tian stared at his brand-new body, his eyes filled with excitement.

The goddess of asura tried to lift the hands and found that the claws had all fallen away, leaving only the white fingers.

The Empress opened her mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Ruyue's hurried voice.

"Do you... want to put on some clothes?"

Queen Ruyue of Loulan dragged the half-closed palace door, looking at the three naked people with a strange expression.

Her clothes were covered in blood, but her eyes held an indescribable complexity.

"Uh... I think we should get some fabric first?"

Lin Tian scratched the back of his head, coughed twice, and looked at the collapsed main hall.

The Asura Goddess glanced at the Empress, then at herself, her expression shifting rapidly.

The Empress remained silent, but stood up, her thoughts too complex to be expressed in words.

As the moonlight drew back the tattered curtain, she tried to cover their vital parts.

Despite her severe injuries, she handed over three tattered pieces of cloth.

"Let's make do for now, there's not much left in the building..."

Lin Tian smiled wryly, took the package, and quickly wrapped it up.

The Asura Goddess casually grabbed a stone flag and smeared it on herself.

The Empress also used a section of curtain to cover herself, as a way of pausing the awkward situation.

A subtle silence fell over the dilapidated hall.

Lin Tian looked down and tugged at the rough fabric on his body, feeling a sense of emptiness in some places, which he wasn't used to.

The feeling of becoming human was even stranger than he had imagined.

Walking on two legs feels light and airy, as if I might fall at any moment.

My fingertips have become more flexible, and I can feel the texture of the fabric. It's completely different from a tortoise's claw.

The Asura Goddess awkwardly fiddled with the flags on her body, the brightly colored flags covering her in a messy and comical way.

She moved her fingers, then clenched her fist, her expression shifting, before finally managing to utter:

"It's strange... my hands feel much lighter without the calluses, but they're also chilly."

The empress stood still, her long, silver-gray hair falling down, obscuring most of her profile.

She simply looked around calmly, her gaze sweeping over the collapsed roof and the shattered stone pillars.

Finally, the voice landed on Ruyue, and she said softly, "Thank you."

The voice was still clear and cold, but it was softer than usual and more like a human tone.

Ruyue shook her head, forcing a bitter smile onto her pale face: "I'm the one who should be saying thank you... Loulan is finished, but at least... the last bit of strength wasn't wasted."

As she spoke, she coughed violently again, and drops of blood seeped from between her fingers as she clutched her abdomen.

Seeing this, Lin Tian quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, you are badly injured. Are you alright?"

Although he had just turned into a human, the power of fire within his body was still surging, even more so than when he was in turtle form, and he vaguely felt that he had become stronger.

Ruyue waved her hand to indicate that she was fine: "It's an old ailment, cough cough... But what are you guys planning to do next?"

She looked up, her eyes filled with a mixture of inquiry and confusion.

How to do?

This question also caused Lin Tian and the other two to fall silent.

The Asura Goddess broke the silence first, saying in a muffled voice, "What else can we do? Of course, we have to leave here and find something to eat! I'm starving!"

Lin Tian laughed heartily. "That's right. After becoming human, of course I should have a big meal like a human!"

After finally managing to travel through time, I ended up turning into a turtle.

Now, there's still a lot to do to restore the human body.

For example, dual cultivation...

cough cough...
