Transmigrated into the villain? Watch my epic comeback in the ethereal fairy realm!

"Wait!" A clear voice came from behind.

Dai Yao turned around abruptly and saw a little elf dressed in green with two pointed ears on its head, curiously looking at her.

"You are... Little Elf?" Dai Yao recognized the little elf as the key person she had previously inquired about who knew about the special materials.

The little sprite blinked her big eyes and nodded: "It's me! Big sister, what you're holding is... the Seven-Colored Exquisite Bead?!"

"That's right." Dai Yao didn't hide anything and admitted it directly.

The little sprite jumped up excitedly: "Great! I've finally found you! Can you lend me this bead? I need it..."

"Lend it to you?" Dai Yao raised an eyebrow. "Sure, but you have to tell me what you know?"

The little spirit hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity and told Dai Yao the secret about the venue for the artifact advancement ceremony.

After thanking the little spirit, Dai Yao followed the clues she provided and arrived at a secluded valley.

In the center of the valley, there is an ancient altar, surrounded by mysterious runes.

"This is it!" Dai Yao took a deep breath, took out the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pearl, and prepared to begin the artifact advancement ceremony.

However, at that moment, Lei Po, Xue Ying, Ling Mu, Xing Yan, and You Ying Ling also caught up.

When they saw Dai Yao preparing to upgrade her divine artifact, their eyes immediately turned red with envy.

"Stop her!" Lei Po gave the order, and everyone unleashed their magical weapons to attack Dai Yao.

Dai Yao was prepared. She quickly activated the runes around the altar, forming a protective shield that blocked their attack.

"Hmph, a mere trick!" Lei Po sneered, his hand flashing with lightning as a powerful bolt of lightning struck the protective shield.

The protective shield trembled violently and was on the verge of shattering.

Dai Yao's expression changed, and she quickly increased her spiritual power output to stabilize the protective shield.

"Is that all you've got?" Lei Po sneered. "Watch me crack your turtle shell!"

He gathered his strength again, preparing to launch an even more powerful attack.

At this critical moment, Dai Yao placed the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pearl in the center of the altar.

In an instant, the altar burst forth with dazzling light, illuminating the entire valley.

Amidst the light, the artifact began to absorb the power of the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pearl, emitting a series of buzzing sounds.

The light blinded Lei Po and the others, and their attacks were also disrupted, greatly reducing their power.

"Damn it!" Lei Po roared, forcefully breaking through the interference of the light...

Lei Po refused to be outdone. He roared, his eyes bloodshot, and defied the dazzling light as he charged toward Dai Yao as if his life depended on it.

"Little brat, dream on! I'm taking this treasure today!" Lightning flashed in his hand, and a bolt of lightning several times stronger than before, like a raging dragon, roared and tore through the air, heading straight for Dai Yao.

While controlling the advancement ritual, Dai Yao skillfully dodged Lei Po's reckless attacks.

Her figure was elusive, like a nimble butterfly, dancing gracefully through the gaps in the lightning.

Although she looked somewhat disheveled, with her hair in a mess, she always managed to avoid Lei Po's fatal blows at the last second.

"Oh dear, if I get struck by lightning, my face will be ruined! This won't do!" She dodged while complaining, as if she wasn't engaged in a life-or-death struggle, but rather playing a thrilling game.

Seeing Lei Po fighting so desperately, the other forces around him also became envious.

"Let's risk it all! Fortune favors the bold!" Xueying shouted, her ice blades flying like snowflakes, blocking Dai Yao's retreat.

Spiritwood, Starfire, and even the Shadow Spirit that had been hiding in the shadows all joined the attack.

Dai Yao suddenly felt immense pressure, like a little lamb surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves.

Just when Dai Yao felt she was about to give up, the artifact suddenly hummed and unleashed a powerful force. Golden light spread outwards like a shockwave, blasting Lei Po and the others away.

Lei Po and the others were thrown back like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting blood, unable to get up for a long time. The surrounding vegetation was smashed and bent over, leaving a mess.

It turns out that the artifact reached a crucial stage during the process of absorbing the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pearl, and its power was greatly enhanced.

Dai Yao was overjoyed and seized the opportunity to accelerate the advancement of the divine artifact.

The artifact's light shone even brighter, and the runes around the altar were repaired by the artifact's power, beginning to shimmer with an even more ancient and mysterious light, forming an indestructible barrier.

Seeing that the artifact's advancement was nearing completion, a glint of greed flashed in Lei Po's and the others' eyes... "Attack! Success or failure hinges on this!"

The greed in Lei Po's eyes was almost tangible, like a pack of hungry wolves pouncing on a ripe fruit.

"Charge! We'll fight to the death to get it!" Lei Po roared, unleashing lightning once more, which, like wildly dancing electric snakes, slashed fiercely at Dai Yao.

Xueying's ice blades became even denser, sweeping in like a blizzard, trying to completely freeze Dai Yao.

The vines of the spirit tree coiled around like giant pythons, while the fireballs of starlight rained down like a meteor shower.

The Shadow Spirit was even more insidious, targeting Dai Yao's weak points in defense with deadly attacks.

Dai Yao felt like she was playing a game of extreme evasion, where a slight mistake could result in being knocked out.

"Wow! This is even more exciting than the college entrance exam!" she complained as she nimbly dodged various attacks, like a sprite dancing on a knife's edge.

Fortunately, the light from the artifact's advancement formed a sturdy barrier, blocking most of the attacks; otherwise, Dai Yao would have been riddled with holes long ago.

Just as the divine artifact was about to complete its advancement, a strange vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, as if it were an entrance to another dimension. The vortex shimmered with seven-colored light, echoing the divine artifact and the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pearl on the altar. The light, like a materialized energy stream, flowed rapidly along the runes on the altar, then converged on the divine artifact. Immediately afterward, a deafening roar resounded, a sound like the howl of an ancient god, cracking even the boulders in the valley. Centered on the divine artifact, the light expanded outward like a nuclear explosion, forming a massive energy sphere that instantly engulfed Lei Po and the others, blasting them away.

A dazzling light burst forth, blasting Lei Po and the others away, leaving them dazed and seeing stars.

"Holy crap! The recoil is too strong!" Lei Po rubbed his butt, looking completely bewildered.

As the light faded, Dai Yao, holding her upgraded divine weapon, appeared like a goddess descending to earth, majestic and awe-inspiring. At that moment, a sudden gust of wind rose in the valley, fluttering Dai Yao's robes. The divine weapon in her hand shone even brighter, its light seemingly dispelling the gloom in the valley. All the mysterious runes seemed to be paying homage to her; she was like the queen of this valley.

Dai Yao looked at the artifact in her hand and nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, not bad, not bad. It didn't disappoint my hard work."

Lei Po, as the chief disciple of the Lei Xiao Sect, has always been arrogant and greedy. Within the sect, he enhances his prestige by seizing various rare treasures. This time, seeing the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pearl and the soon-to-be-advanced divine artifact in Dai Yao's hands, he felt this was an excellent opportunity. If he succeeded in seizing it, he would become the most influential person in the sect, so he launched an attack without regard for anything else.

The little spirit's clan was once corrupted by a dark force, and the power of the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pearl might be able to save its clan, which is why it was so excited when it saw the pearl in Dai Yao's hand.

Lei Po and the others looked at the divine artifact in Dai Yao's hand, their eyes filled with resentment and jealousy, but they also knew that it was no longer something they could get their hands on.

They could only slink away, silently praying that next time they would be blessed with good fortune and turn their luck around.

As Dai Yao watched their departing figures, a sly smile crept onto her lips.

She gently stroked the artifact in her hand, feeling its powerful strength, her heart filled with joy and confidence.

“Next…” Dai Yao suddenly paused, looking into the distance, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes, “It’s time to take care of some important business.”
