"Almost done!" Bexia breathed a sigh of relief and drank several bottles of restorative potions before continuing to activate the divine skill, Light of Expulsion. At this moment, the process of removing the dark spots had reached the petals of the seven-colored crystal flower, completing about seventy percent of the purification work.
"Christine, go help deal with that slime. The Eight Trigram Soul-Locking Diagram has a significant suppressing effect on it!" While Bexia focused on purification, her perception was still aware of the battle in the sky.
"Yes, Master!" Christine replied, conjuring a warblade in her hand.
"Be careful!" Bexia transmitted a message to Christine mentally and continued her purification work.
As for the present Phantom Butterfly Slime, Christine's strength was not low, and although her soul power was not as strong as the elder Phantom Butterflies, her attack methods were even more effective, inflicting damage on the Phantom Butterfly Slime that was no less than that caused by the elder Phantom Butterflies.
The Phantom Butterfly Slime was being suppressed and attacked, its body being scattered several times but reassembling itself each time. Although it seemed fine on the surface, its aura began to weaken little by little.
"Boom!"
All the dark spots on the seven-colored crystal flower were purified and disappeared. The enormous flower slowly raised its drooping petals. A tremor wave spread from the ground, and a powerful vitality spread from the earth beneath their feet. The withered crystal flowers rapidly recovered before the naked eye, the dead crystal flowers rapidly germinating and growing as long as their root systems or seeds remained, quickly filling the blank space on the ground.
"Roar!" Sensing the changes in the seven-colored crystal flower, the Phantom Butterfly Slime unleashed its loudest roar. Its body suddenly contorted, and the Phantom's figure began to disappear, replaced by a large sphere that rapidly charged towards the elder Phantom Butterflies.
"Go to hell!" Christine's warblade dissipated, and she condensed a longbow in her hand. A massive arrow shot fiercely towards the Phantom Butterfly Slime, accompanied by numerous flying blades from the other elder Phantom Butterflies.
"Bang!" The collision of light arrows, flying blades, and the slime resulted in a tremendous explosion. A terrifying force formed an energy storm, especially since it was a soul storm formed by soul power. A slight negligence could cause permanent injuries or even turn into idiocy.
The slime's body shattered into countless sticky liquids. Seeing this, Christine and the four elder Phantom Butterflies immediately started sealing off the rampaging energy, as allowing it to explode freely would undoubtedly cause significant damage to the surroundings.
"Swish!" While Christine and the elder Phantom Butterflies were containing the energy storm, a black figure suddenly shot out from the center of the explosion, charging towards Bexia with lightning speed.
"Master, be careful!" Christine immediately realized the danger, but support was already unable to catch up and could only watch helplessly.
"The Flame Emperor!"
Bexia was already prepared to withstand the attack, and even the Phantom Butterflies had positioned themselves to form a flesh wall for them when a delicate shout came from behind Bexia. A scorching heat burst forth like a volcanic eruption from behind him, and a gigantic claw extended from behind Bexia, heavily slapping at the oncoming black figure.
"Bang!" Without any fancy moves, Bexia's powerful attack, which was no less than that of a sovereign, was easily cracked by a single swipe. Bexia turned around only to see the dissipating figure.
Bexia's gaze shifted to Luo Caiying. After the figure disappeared, a flaming tiger with fur as long as flame appeared by her side. A burning orange flame seemed to be physically burning above its forehead. Luo Caiying was happily rubbing against the terrifying tiger, as she particularly liked fluffy things, which Bexia knew very well.
The inexplicable crisis was instantly resolved, even to the point of being too surprising. Bexia had some doubts before, but now she was proven wrong by Luo Caiying. She never expected that he would be the weakest member of the team. Neither Luo Nianxian nor Luo Caiying could be described by common sense.
"Hehe! Aren't I amazing?" Sensing the lingering gaze, Luo Caiying proudly exclaimed, with a face that read "Praise me now!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Caiying, you're really amazing!" Bexia replied speechlessly.
"I've been telling you how amazing I am. I can't believe you didn't believe me." Luo Caiying pouted, her hands on her hips.
"Okay, okay, okay! I believe you. How could I not believe in you? Caiying is the most amazing!" Bexia retorted.
"Hmph!" Luo Caiying huffed, but her eyes revealed that she was actually quite happy. She just couldn't admit it verbally. She was definitely a tsundere.
The battle ended in an instant, and the seven-colored crystal flower quickly returned to normal. When it fully bloomed, specks of starlight fell from its petals. These were actually pollen from the seven-colored crystal flower. Bexia reached out to touch it, but as soon as she made contact, it melted into her body, enhancing her soul power slightly.
Rustling sounds echoed as the branches of the seven-colored crystal flower swayed, and a dozen stamens appeared on the blooming flower. Each tip of the stamen carried a nearly transparent flame. As the branches appeared, four of the transparent flames floated down and were caught by pieces of paper, handed one by one to Bexia and the others.
"These are the crystal flower's gratitude to us for saving it!" Luo Ningxian acted as the all-knowing translator. She reached out to take the transparent flame, and the branches of the seven-colored crystal flower rubbed against her cheek, showing affection.
"This is a good thing!" Although it was unclear what it was, the strong soul fluctuations emanating from it indicated that it was a powerful treasure for enhancing soul power.
"I wonder what this thing is used for?" Bexia took the transparent flame, and as soon as she held it, she felt a strong desire in her soul. Swallowing this flame would greatly enhance her soul power.
"This is the flame of the soul! It is a flame formed by pure soul power. If you consume it directly, it can greatly enhance your soul power," Luo Caiying explained.
"But the best method is to place this flame into the depths of your soul and let it continuously burn your soul with its power. This can make your soul purer. Although it does not directly enhance your strength, having a pure soul is much more difficult than increasing its strength."
"I see, thank you, Caiying." Bexia patted Luo Caiying's red hair.
"I'm not a child, you know~ Don't touch my head randomly!" Luo Caiying pushed away Bexia's hand, revealing her cute little fangs and saying playfully.
"Hehe!" Bexia couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Luocai Ling's adorable expression.
"Master, I have discovered something amazing. Come and take a look!" Christine's voice echoed in her mind at that moment.
