"Woo woo woo—!"
The giant creature emitted a sound resembling a low sob, then suddenly exerted force once more. The ground trembled beneath it, followed by its massive body fully appearing in midair. Its appearance was somewhat similar to a soul-eating worm, but with many limbs, featuring two rows of centipede-like appendages.
"This is the Evil Soul Worm, a fierce creature in the ancient divine battlefield. It preys on anything with a soul, particularly fond of devouring soul-eating worms!"
"However, the core of the Evil Soul Worm is quite valuable. After processing, it becomes a container suitable for storing soul power, making it a very practical item!" Luo Cailing gazed at the Evil Soul Worm as she spoke.
"I didn't expect that! Ah Ling, you sure do know a lot!"
"Of course, do you think I'm you?" Luo Cailing said proudly.
"I'm actually curious, are you truly only twelve years old? Last time, when I secretly chatted with Tianya, it seemed like you've looked the same for over a dozen years, right?" Bexia stared into Luo Cailing's eyes as she inquired.
"Are you doing this on purpose? Last time, when I saw your transformed appearance, wasn't that your true form?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Luo Cailing shot her a glance. Wasn't it impolite to ask a girl about her age?
"Big doggie is talking nonsense again, I'll make him regret messing around!" she whispered angrily.
"Luo Uncle has lived for over a hundred thousand years, Mo Auntie has been around for tens of thousands of years, and you claim to be twelve. Do you think I'll believe that?" Bexia, seeing Luo Cailing pretending ignorance, firmly chose to expose her.
"And you and Xian were born before Mo Auntie became immortal, and the establishment of the two cities in the Land of Dawn happened a long time ago. Don't tell me both of you were named after the two cities!"
"Get out of my face, you're so annoying!" Annoyed by Bexia's remarks, Luo Cailing pushed her hands away from her approaching face.
"Xian, don't you agree?!"
"Big brother is really naughty, actually mentioning Ah Ling and Xian's ages!" Luo Ningxian shot him a look.
"Haha!" Bexia chuckled, knowing well in advance the reason behind this, merely teasing the two of them.
As Mo Qingqin mentioned, Luo Cailing and Luo Ningxian were both extremely lucky individuals, born with extraordinary encounters and both inherited powers from ancient divine beings. However, due to the overwhelming nature of these powers, their physical bodies and souls experienced slow growth and integration during this phase of blending.
This stage is essentially a period where the inherited powers and their own selves harmonize. As they slowly grow, the inherited powers will gradually merge with them. When all powers have completely harmonized to the optimal state, they will naturally reach their peak life status.
As for the last time when the loli Luo Cailing transformed into the young girl Luo Cailing, it was due to a sudden burst of power. This is something Luo Ningxian can also accomplish.
"Bang—!" While Bexia casually joked around, the Evil Soul Worm mistook them for prey. Its massive form swooped down, its huge mouth brimming with densely packed sharp teeth, the interior of which was pitch black, resembling a bottomless abyss.
"Waaah—! The Big Monster is coming!" Higanbana stared at the approaching evil spirit insect and screamed out loud, then acted like a commander, saying, "Bebe, you take the front, we'll support you right away!"
"Meow ⊙ω⊙~!" Bebe was still a little confused, but relying on the instincts honed with Higanbana and the others in the virtual network world, a slight ripple appeared behind her, followed by a beam of light shooting towards the evil spirit insect.
Originally, this was Starmaster's Origin Sword Formation, but after several modifications requested by Bebe, it had now turned into the sparkling "Golden Sword Formation"!
"Little Umbrella, provide support for Bebe, I'll go retrieve the Tall One!" Higanbana said again.
Without needing her to say, Little Umbrella had already taken control of seven or eight puppets larger than herself to harass the evil spirit insect. And regarding the Tall One mentioned by Higanbana, naturally, it was the statue of Asura in her Samsara Mirror!
Higanbana leisurely took out her Samsara Mirror, then summoned the Asura statue from within. The colossal figure appeared and instantly caused a terrifying crack in the surrounding space, but it quickly disappeared.
"Go! Let's beat it up!" Higanbana summoned the Asura statue and pointed at the evil spirit insect.
"Roar—!" The Asura statue roared, and all the weapons on its six arms began to move.
"Hold!" Higanbana didn't idle but instead used the Samsara Mirror to briefly immobilize the evil spirit insect in mid-air.
The Asura statue acted swiftly as well. The first to move was the hook in its hand, which hooked onto the body of the evil spirit insect in mid-air, pulling it down, while the steel fork in its other hand immediately stabbed down, firmly pinning the evil spirit insect to the ground.
"Wuwuwu—!" The evil spirit insect had no sense of pain, but being attacked made it furious, especially being inherently aggressive, it retaliated immediately.
Its centipede-like body entwined around the Asura statue, with numerous limbs slashing across the Asura statue's surface like sharp steel knives, leaving behind a series of sparks, but it did not break through its defense!
"Roar—!" The Asura statue roared and swung the sword in its hand wildly. The evil spirit insect was strong in its own right, but the weapons in the Asura statue's hand were enough to pierce through its defenses.
