However, despite the unwillingness.
Life rapidly faded, causing the soul fire of the Dark Blood Bat King to extinguish quickly.
"Squeak, squeak..."
It wanted to issue an unending command, but there was no longer any opportunity.
Zi Linling stepped forward, kicked away the Dark Blood Bat King's head, and ended its life.
Without the Dark Blood Bat King's command, the Dark Blood Bat swarm's attack finally came to an end.
In a moment, the vast swarm of Dark Blood Bats that had blotted out the sky had all fled, leaving only the corpses of their companions scattered on the ground.
Xuan Yuanxun, Shangguan Yulin, Rong Guang, and Shen Liuxing collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air, completely disregarding the nauseating river of minced flesh and blood.
Zi Linling also swayed precariously, but she still managed to support herself, leaning against a tree.
She took a deep breath, then leaped up and sat cross-legged on a thick tree branch.
Then, she took "Chong'er" off her back, laid it horizontally on another branch, closed her eyes, and began to heal.
Xuan Yuanxun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing were relatively fine, having only exhausted their spiritual and law energies and being utterly depleted.
But Zi Linling's injuries were much more severe.
Earlier, she had used her soul power to unexpectedly wound the Dark Blood Bat King, but at the same time, her soul had suffered a strong shock, resulting in internal injuries.
Therefore, she not only needed to recover her spiritual and law energies but also to heal her soul. Su Dan Novel Network
Zi Linling swallowed a few Soul Nourishing Pills and quietly communicated with the "Human Emperor's Medical Codex."
Soon, the Human Emperor's Medical Codex flew out from above her head, rapidly absorbing the surrounding spiritual and law energies.
Of course, because the surroundings were almost entirely filled with dark energy, Xuan Yuanxun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing found recovery extremely difficult.
This was because they could only extract the extremely scarce energies of other attributes from the dark energy.
But Zi Linling had no such concerns.
Firstly, she possessed the Seven Spiritual Roots, allowing her to absorb spiritual and law energies of any attribute.
Secondly, the extraordinary ability of the Human Emperor's Medical Codex allowed for the arbitrary conversion of spiritual and law energy attributes.
Therefore, while the other four had not recovered even ten percent of their strength, Zi Linling had already recovered fifty percent.
Such a recovery speed made the four of Xuan Yuanxun so envious that they could cry.
Finally, the four exchanged glances and silently approached the large tree where Zi Linling was cultivating, beginning to absorb her aura.
Zi Linling naturally sensed their approach, but she did not object.
She was never stingy with her own people.
Thus, under the effect of the Human Emperor's Medical Codex, the five of them recovered rapidly.
Three hours later, Xuan Yuanxun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing had all recovered to their peak.
However, they discovered that cultivating near Zi Linling's presence actually caused their cultivation to steadily improve.
Therefore, they did not get up and continued to benefit from Zi Linling's aura.
Meanwhile, Zi Linling's spiritual and law energies had already recovered to their peak due to the Human Emperor's Medical Codex's ravenous absorption.
The shock from her soul injury was also completely healed by the Soul Nourishing Pills and the exotic fragrance of the Human Emperor's Medical Codex.
The reason she had not ended her cultivation was that she was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Indeed!
After the great battle, she had sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough.
A moment later, a "pop" sounded from within her body, and her cultivation broke through to the late stage of the Great God realm.
But this was not the end.
This was because the speed at which the Human Emperor's Medical Codex absorbed spiritual and law energies had not only not slowed down but had intensified.
Zi Linling knew that after the tempering in the Other Shore space, the baptism of the Lei Tribe's totem, and the recent great battle, she was qualified to break through to the peak of the Great God realm.
As expected, an hour later, another "pop" sounded from within her body.
Then, the Human Emperor's Medical Codex abruptly returned to her sea of consciousness, and a powerful aura, which terrified the four of Xuan Yuanxun, emanated from her body.
The four of Xuan Yuanxun were startled awake and quickly retreated a hundred paces.
At this moment, a hurricane, centered on Zi Linling, spread outwards.
The minced flesh and corpses of the Dark Blood Bats on the ground were swept up by the hurricane.
Immediately after, the ground cracked open, forming a deep pit.
The filth carried by the hurricane instantly fell into the pit.
Then, the hurricane disappeared, the ground shook violently, and the pit was buried.
Zi Linling opened her eyes, clapped her hands, and said, "Done!"
Then, she placed "Chong'er," which held Ye Lingyuan, back on her shoulders, jumped off the tree, and shouted, "It's time to move on!"
"Coming!"
The four of Xuan Yuanxun responded simultaneously and quickly returned to her side.
Zi Linling wrinkled her nose and said, "Never mind, you guys should clean yourselves up first!"
The four then realized that they were covered in filth and emitting a pungent odor.
They smiled sheepishly and once again disappeared into the darkness.
Zi Linling took this opportunity to retrieve some lake water from the Lake of True Emotion in her nascent world and cleaned herself up.
Only a great benefactor like Zi Linling could use the water of true emotion to clean away filth.
Seeing several buckets of water of true emotion being "wasted" by Zi Linling, the Flower of True Emotion's face twisted in pain.
But she was utterly helpless, for who was Zi Linling if not the master of the nascent world?
After more than ten buckets of water of true emotion were poured on her, Zi Linling felt much refreshed.
She activated the fire spiritual energy within her body, and in just a moment, the moisture on her body was evaporated.
A quarter of an hour later, Xuan Yuanxun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing also returned.
They had also thoroughly cleaned the filth from their bodies and even changed their clothes.
"Alright, let's continue our journey!"
Zi Linling took the lead and flew forward again.
An hour later, they finally emerged from the God-Demon Forest.
Without the dense, sun-blocking ancient black trees, they finally saw the long-lost sunlight.
The glaring sunlight made it difficult for them, who had been traveling in darkness for so long, to adapt immediately.
Shangguan Yulin rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "My goodness! I finally see the sun!"
Rong Guang also squinted and said, "Yes, after these six days and six nights, I almost forgot what sunlight felt like."
Xuan Yuanxun also laughed, "Now I finally understand the pain of the blind!"
Shen Liuxing rubbed his eyes and looked at Zi Linling.
He could finally, finally see the appearance of the one he loved with his own eyes again.
Zi Linling, with her hands behind her back, caressed "Chong'er" and said, "Ye Lingyuan, we have reached the spatial rift, and we will soon enter the Divine Relic Continent!"
