"At this point, I don't have a choice but to rely on this..."Oasis thought silently under his breath, his expression darkening with a mixture of pragmatic resolve and quiet reluctance as he unstoppered the small crystal vial in his palm and swallowed the divine elixir within a single, swift motion."With this vial consumed, and no longer possessing the Celestial Sphere, it means I no longer have immediate access to the Pond of Eternal Youth. At this juncture, I am only left with about four vials remaining. I severely need to be strategic and meticulous about using them in the future..." Oasis analyzed, realizing inwardly that while this was not necessarily the absolute wisest decision, his impatience had gotten the better of his usual restraint.The moment the liquid slid down his throat, the legendary elixir hit his physical system like a wave of pure life force. In real-time, the heavy physical fatigue, depleted spiritual reserves, and drained mana that had been weighing down his v

As they were moving toward each other, as utterly pissed as Tuyu was, his left hand suddenly transformed even further.The dragon-like scales wrapped around his forearm expanded to envelope his entire arm, morphing into jagged, razor-sharp spires of dark bone and scale. His fingers lengthened into bloodthirsty claws, and heavy, overlapping scales surged across his broad chest and torso. His physical presence swelled with terrifying draconic power, and in the next breath, his speed erupted exponentially!SHOOOSH—!Tuyu launched a ferocious, clawed strike! The abrupt jump in velocity was so sudden that Oasis was forced to dodge at the absolute last instant! One moment, Tuyu was barreling straight toward him; in a single blink, he had blazed directly past Oasis, his lethal claws sweeping through the air to cleave his torso in two!Oasis twisted his frame backward at the last possible inch. Through his Eyes of the Heaven’s Horizon, he saw the atmospheric space where Tuyu’s claws missed

“YOU DARE!!!!!”Tuyu roared, his monstrous voice splitting the sky as he violently swung his jagged crimson spear, Takaipa. The weapon surged with dark void energy, warping and fracturing the atmospheric fabric around its path like shattered glass!Oasis’s sword trajectory was aimed directly for Tuyu’s neck. As the pristine edge of Elyon came within inches of making contact, the swirling, high-speed vortex of translucent emerald petals suddenly compressed and merged together! They transformed into a single, colossal, ethereal lotus petal that crackled violently with arcs of azure lightning. The explosive Sword Intent and atmospheric pressure surged to a terrifying new peak, unleashing an invisible force wave that caused the distant trees below to bend to their breaking point. The roaring wind pressure whistled furiously as it slammed into the erased, bottomless hollow in the earth below.High above, Elaris watched the spectacle in absolute, speechless awe. Her noble mind reeled, ge

Then suddenly, from the thousands of floating emerald lotus petals, a loud chime started echoing everywhere across the vicinity!The surrounding wind intent and atmospheric pressure hummed at a completely unprecedented, terrifying level. Everything was masterfully controlled and ruthlessly targeted straight toward Tuyu, who was hovering in mid-air, shouting and swearing in a blind panic. The Demi-Sacred Beast had finally realized where Oasis was, snapping his head upward to see the young master’s form fully materializing in the sky right beside Elaris!“THERE YOU ARE, YOU FILTHY BRAT! HOW DARE YOU—!!!!!!” Tuyu roared at the top of his lungs, raising his jagged crimson spear, Takaipa.Yet, as he attempted to launch another attack, every movement of his massive frame suddenly became agonizingly sluggish! The ethereal, melodic soundwaves echoing from the chiming lotus petals swirled through the air, diving directly into his ears and rattling his brain. Simultaneously, a heavy, suffoca

“Here we go, it is certainly not as saint-grade as the pristine set provided to you directly by Master Qin Xian, given his craftsmanship, but this will do nicely. It is vastly better than what you were currently wearing. A core Jade Pulse Sect disciple should always present themselves with dignity and decency, not clad like a wild man from the deep forests,” Qin Zhen said as he gazed at Oasis.“I still possess the original set from Master Qin Xian, though it sustained some minor damage,” Oasis replied smoothly, adjusting the collar of the vibrant Jade Pulse robes as the fabric settled comfortably against his skin. “Regardless, thank you, Senior Brother."“Think nothing of it. You can simply have your primary set fully repaired by the sect artisans once we successfully return to the sect,” Qin Zhen dismissed with a warm, reassuring wave of his hand.“So, those two hovering high above us... Why are they traveling together? Are they close companions or allies?” Oasis asked, his sharp azu
