The Evil Ghost Dragonfly, despite losing its balance, maintained an incredible speed, almost instantly leaving Lian Yun and Xiao Jun behind. It did not lose its sanity; instead, while spinning in the air, it continued to advance toward the direction of the Evil Ghost Dragonfly.
Seeing this, Xiao Jun raised his hand, readying his sword.
Lian Yun, however, was undeterred and shouted again, "Sword, come!"
With that command, he seized the sword that Xiao Jun had condensed. The Blade shrank tenfold in an instant but still measured hundreds of meters long, appearing almost tangible as it plunged vertically between the Evil Ghost Dragonfly and itself.
As the massive sword descended, it coincided perfectly with the moment the Evil Ghost Dragonfly approached.
The two Half Emperors collided directly with Lian Yun's sword.
The Evil Ghost Dragonfly was sent flying backward, while the other one was also knocked away. However, it released a cloud of dust that spread toward Lian Yun.
In response, Lian Yun hurriedly retreated while unleashing several sword techniques known as Annihilation against the Evil Ghost Dragonfly.
Lian Yun understood Xiao Jun's abilities and temperament well. If even he could be affected by the dust from the Evil Ghost Dragonfly, then its mesmerizing power must be extraordinary. Lian Yun felt that if he found himself enveloped in that smoky dust, he might lose his ability to act.
Initially, Lian Yun thought that with Xiao Jun's attack combined with his own, even if they couldn't kill the Evil Ghost Dragonfly, they could at least sever its remaining three wings. However, after a few attacks, he noticed that Xiao Jun remained behind, his eyes filled with deep contemplation.
From Lian Yun's command for the sword to come forth, Xiao Jun sensed a profound rhythm of Dao and whimsically began to comprehend it amidst battle.
In truth, this had never happened before; now Lian Yun felt a surge of frustration. His internal organs had yet to recover!
Nevertheless, Lian Yun didn't dwell on Xiao Jun's insights. He could only endure and attack several more times. After knocking the Evil Ghost Dragonfly to the ground, he pulled Xiao Jun back.
Watching the dust continue to spread around them, Lian Yun gradually felt his mind becoming hazy. It was as if the dust's mesmerizing effect could transmit through sight.
He found it hard to imagine what would happen if he were infected by it. Yet Lian Yun did not stop; instead, he raised his hand to summon a giant sword and thrust it toward where the Evil Ghost Dragonfly would land.
As soon as the Giant Sword entered the misty area, Lian Yun felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, forcing him to raise the sword higher and disperse the fog.
He then watched warily as the mist gradually dissipated.
In front of him lay an area that he was unsure whether he could enter. Although the dust seemed to have cleared, who knew if it had merged into the air?
His gaze felt somewhat hazy, and his Mental Power was even less capable of probing the space ahead.
At that moment, Xiao Jun suddenly awakened.
"Here comes the sword~~?"
"Here comes the sword?"
"Here comes the sword~~"
The first call was filled with confusion, the second was louder and still somewhat perplexed, but by the third call, it was resoundingly clear and certain.
With Xiao Jun's third call echoing, it was as if the entire Northeast City came alive, exuding a sensation that it was about to coalesce into a Giant Sword.
However, the actual effect was that a normal three-foot light sword flew down from the Sky Above.
It slashed diagonally into the ground, visibly flashing between the compound eyes of the Evil Ghost Dragonfly.
The Evil Ghost Dragonfly trembled a few times before falling still.
Lian Yun was surprised; he felt that while Xiao Jun's sword summon did not match the Overlord's Halberd in power, it was more solid than his own summon and carried a deeper resonance.
Truly, those of the Pre-Sword Body have a unique understanding of the sword path.
Next, the newly empowered Xiao Jun set off alone to find the Evil Ghost Dragonfly, while Lian Yun remained behind to recover. Not long after, Xiao Jun returned with a dazed expression, and the Vigilant Worm on Lian Yun's ear began to stir once more.
Having devoured the Evil Ghost Dragonfly, it also consumed the four wings floating in mid-air, then regurgitated four hemispherical Spirit Cores for Lian Yun.
Holding the four half-spherical Spirit Cores in his hands, Lian Yun's expression was somewhat intriguing. After attempting to absorb them, he revealed a look of helplessness.
Absorbing a whole one would leave him feeling overstuffed. Lian Yun wondered if Xiao Jun had sensed this and thus helped him by cutting the Spirit Cores in half. Initially, his expression was a bit awkward. However, after trying to absorb them, he found that he could only take in some Spiritual Energy and could not fully absorb them.
This meant that these four Spirit Cores could be used for cultivation but would not enhance his recovery of abilities.
Currently, Lian Yun had absorbed seven Spirit Cores but felt that his abilities had only recovered halfway, and even that was not an increase of half a level.
Lian Yun was at the Peak of Sovereignty realm, yet he felt that upon activating his abilities, he would only be slightly stronger than a Half Emperor and would definitely not reach the imperial level. Overall, his ability recovery might still be less than one-third.
Thus, having two Spirit Cores that could not aid in recovering his abilities was indeed a significant loss.
However, Lian Yun did not dwell on it for too long; after all, it was a done deal, and worrying wouldn’t change anything. He accepted the four half-spherical Spirit Cores and then cleared out the remaining Demon Kings before heading to Fengdu with Xiao Jun.
In the eight cities, Lian Yun chose to take a roundabout route to fight; firstly, to show Xiao Jun around his "homeland," and secondly, with hopes of finding Zhang Jiao.
Yet their figures were nowhere to be found.
In Northeast City, there were no traces of the Locust from before. This meant its hiding place could be anywhere in Huaxia or anywhere in the world.
Thus, searching for its whereabouts was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, there was nothing to be done. After all, Lian Yun's strength was still insufficient at that time. If it weren't for the appearance of the Vigilant Worm, Lian Yun might have even been killed by it, making any talk of pursuit irrelevant.
Initially, Lian Yun had planned to clear Fengdu before sending Xiao Jun off. However, as the two reached the outskirts of Fengdu, they were suddenly immobilized.
"Leave a city!"
The voice was unknown, but it was powerful enough to freeze Lian Yun and Xiao Jun in place. It could only belong to a great emperor, and the likelihood of it being the Peerless Demon Master was high.
Lian Yun understood that clearing Fengdu could potentially disrupt the Peerless Demon Master's schemes, yet he did not dare to act recklessly. After all, he had yet to gauge the true power of an emperor.
Once the restraints on them were lifted, Lian Yun sent Xiao Jun to the northern part of the capital, onto the tracks of the Yin Yang City train.
After delivering Xiao Jun to his destination, Lian Yun left without any pleasantries.
Upon returning to the Lin Family, Lian Yun chose to enter seclusion. He only ventured out occasionally at Zhou Tong's request to issue some decrees in Cloud Emperor City.
At the same time, Lian Yun brought the Tomb of the Overlord back to the Lin Clan's residence and sat atop the stone coffin to accelerate his cultivation speed.
With access to Earth Power, Spirit Coins, and the stone coffin, along with the effects of the Half-Emperor Spirit Core, Lian Yun completed the first stage sprint towards Ultimate Emperor in just three months.
