Become a fairy alone

"We actually encountered a spatial treasure that can naturally exist within the Nine Nether Weak Water? Interesting!" Lu Xiaotian clicked his tongue slightly, slightly distracted.

"A spatial treasure that exists naturally within the Weak Water? What is that?" The Crimson Dream Demon Lord was taken aback.

"It's hard to verify exactly what it was before. Perhaps it was injured along with its owner and fell into the Netherworld Weak Water."
Over the years, its physical form has long been dissolved by the Nine Nether Weak Water, but the spatial power within it is not so easy to resolve. Countless years later, it can still maintain a mysterious space within the Weak Water.
"There's no way to leave directly, but it hasn't completely disappeared either. Strictly speaking, this old monster is already a formidable presence within the Nine Nether Weak Waters." Lu Xiaotian chuckled.

"The other party has a master controlling them?" The Crimson Dream Demon Lord was immediately startled. Having lived in such a harsh environment for countless years, taking her life was simply a matter of willingness, not difficulty.

"Does the Dragon Lord have any way to deal with him? Once he notices us, I'm afraid even if I fight desperately, I won't be able to handle him." This is what the Crimson Dream Demon Lord is truly worried about.

“I noticed it long ago. I can communicate with you through the Qiong Meng Sheng Li Zhu, but with this much spiritual sense, that’s all I can do. I’m still far from being able to fight someone.”

Lu Xiaotian said, "Our connection with the outside world has been cut off."

"Then, what should we do?" Upon hearing this, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord panicked. No wonder she felt trapped no matter which direction she went. So that's the reason. In that case, she has become a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
"Don't panic. My true form is outside. The fact that they haven't attacked you yet means the situation isn't too bad," Lu Xiaotian said.

Although it is unknown why the other party fell into the Nine Nether Weak Water, and in the end even lost their physical form, their strength was not that great.

The other party was forced to merge with the Nine Nether Weak Water, forming an extremely unique space in this body of water.

If it were just an ordinary space, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't care too much. With his current level of cultivation, there are very few things that catch his eye.

However, this is not only a unique space, but it is also integrated with the Dharma realm.

It looks like it's just a small patch confined to the Weak Water, but it can actually extend very far. I didn't sense it before because the other party deliberately kept it to itself and didn't want to deal with it. However, Lu Xiaotian wanted to take the Source Dragon Relic, which violated the other party's taboo.

The other party was trapped in the Nine Nether Weak Water, forming such a strange space that is almost like the Dharma Realm. It took countless years for this space to take shape and survive in this way.

Previously, these spatial nodes were personally guarded by the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng. Before Qiu Meng was strong enough and had fully developed his power, he dared not clash with him.

After all, Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor was a native of this place, and he personally set up restrictions at the spatial nodes. If it weren't for the circumstances that forced him to do so, and his own strength had declined too much, Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor would never have opened these spatial nodes in such an unstable way as they are now.

The strange entity within the space has long coveted the Origin Dragon Relic, regarding it as its only means of escaping its suffering. Even though it knows that Lu Xiaotian is stronger than Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor, he is still just an outsider and it would be difficult for him to have a sufficient understanding of the spatial nodes in a short period of time.

The opponent's attempt to tamper with the Yuanlong Relic has crossed his bottom line. Although the enemy is strong, he has no choice but to fight.

They had barely exchanged blows when the strange being sensed the gravity of the situation.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord is trapped in the strange space but hasn't been harmed yet, mainly because she can't attend to him right now. She's completely held back by Lu Xiaotian outside.

Lu Xiaotian remained seated cross-legged on the floating bone boat, seemingly resting with his eyes closed. After a while, he slightly opened his eyes, frowned, and glanced at the water below.

The strange underwater space alone is already troublesome. The opponent must have been an Emperor-level being in life, and he was already seriously injured before falling into the Nine Nether Weak Water. The strange space is no match for him.

Lu Xiaotian was caught off guard by the enemy's surprise attack, which used the Weak Water as cover to suddenly envelop the Crimson Dream Demon Lord. He hadn't noticed before the attack, and now he was somewhat hesitant to act rashly.

Using too little force won't be enough to defeat the opponent, while using too much force might accidentally injure the Crimson Dream Demon Lord.

In this specific environment, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord was too constrained and lacked sufficient room to maneuver. Given the opponent's cultivation level, they could not withstand his full-force attack without any preparation.

Even if he was only severely injured, it was unrealistic to expect him to retrieve the Source Dragon Relic again. In such a dangerous environment, Lu Xiaotian really didn't want to risk using his other powerful subordinates at the Sovereign level.

A powerful ruler who is completely loyal to the Dragon Realm cannot be won over by force. No matter how treacherous, cunning, or shrewd the other party is, they will always have their own pride.

Forcibly suppressing someone can solve a problem temporarily, and if one can maintain a strong position, the problem is not too serious. However, once external forces intervene, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash from the other party at some point.

For example, when the Celestial Realm launched a full-scale attack on the Dragon Domain, many of its fortified strongholds were breached from within. Given the same strength, a traitor can cause far more damage than the enemy.

Even when Ni Chang was in the Dragon Domain, Lu Xiaotian never forced her to do anything. He occasionally gave her guidance in cultivation and didn't keep any of the top-tier Buddhist seal techniques from her.

Later, he was even given the blood of a true dragon, which helped him to make continuous breakthroughs in his cultivation.

Although Ni Chang was a disciple of the Dragon Seal Sect Master, she played a significant role in several major battles against foreign enemies and did not waver in her resolve even when the enemy held a greater advantage.

Each powerful figure under his command is a valuable asset, and Lu Xiaotian doesn't want to suffer any unnecessary losses. The Crimson Dream Demon Lord is already quite strong; he should be protected if possible.

Retrieving the Source Dragon Relic this time was indeed extremely dangerous. Lu Xiaotian not only had to deal with the eerie existence that dissolved in the Nine Nether Weak Water, but also the mysterious aura on the other side of the spatial node.

Previously, I only sensed that the aura was somewhat familiar, but I wasn't sure. Perhaps it's because I'm a little closer now that I can roughly sense the other party's movements, which are extremely similar to Rahu, whom I've encountered before.

Luo Hou used to be quite close to the Puppet Emperor, and they even met in the Immortal Realm before. However, Lu Xiaotian never saw Luo Hou again after dealing with the Puppet Emperor.

I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After all, many couples in the cultivation world eventually part ways, let alone friends.

It's normal for partners to collaborate for a period of time when they have needs, and then go their separate ways when there are no needs.

Encountering Luo Hou was nothing special; the key issue was that this guy had quietly reached the Emperor Realm.

As a top-tier ancient bloodline among the demon race, it is not surprising that Luo Hou would produce an emperor-level expert. However, when Lu Xiaotian encountered Luo Hou back then, the feeling he had towards Luo Hou was indeed powerful. At that time, Lu Xiaotian thought that Luo Hou's cultivation level was not too exaggerated. Now it seems that it is beyond ridiculous.

Like the Puppet Emperor, this old monster is shrouded in mystery. In the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, Monster Realm, and Ghost Realm, the emergence of a new Emperor-level expert is a momentous event. Yet, Luo Hou has become an Emperor-level expert without a sound.

The Puppet Emperor and the Four Directions Heavenly Court ruled by dividing the territory into the Xuanyong Battlefield, occupying a more expansive area than the Four Directions Heavenly Court, and refused Lu Xiaotian's invitation to transfer to the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm.

Lu Xiaotian knew that this old monster must have already prepared an escape route for him. Lu Xiaotian didn't know what the escape route for the master was. The Puppet Emperor was mysterious and unfathomable, so Lu Xiaotian didn't ask any further questions.

Now that a Luo Hou at the Emperor Realm has suddenly appeared, Lu Xiaotian finds it all very strange.

While dealing with the individual beings within the strange space alone could be done with time, the addition of a mysterious old monster whose allegiance was unclear made Lu Xiaotian feel somewhat troubled.

It's not that I'm afraid to fight the other party, but if we do fight, not only will I have another powerful enemy, but the Source Dragon Relic will also be destroyed, and it may be torn apart by the chaotic and violent spatial power.

Although the Source Dragon Relic is powerful, after being immersed in the Nine Nether Weak Water for so many years, which protected it from erosion, it will inevitably suffer some damage. It is also possible that it will disappear into some suddenly opened spatial rifts.

After a slight hesitation, Lu Xiaotian made a decision. The Origin Dragon Relic was of utmost importance and could not be abandoned just because there was a powerful enemy.

Even if the opponent is an Emperor-level expert, it's just a battle. We can't be timid and hesitant because of concerns about gains and losses. If we have concerns, the opponent may not be at ease either. Let's deal with the being in this strange space first.

Having made his decision, Lu Xiaotian's attack became much more ruthless than before. He pointed down at the boat, and five flying needles flashing with different colored lightning arcs shot straight into the Weak Water.

The strange underwater entity was extremely cunning, completely avoiding direct confrontation with Lu Xiaotian. Once the flying needles entered the area below, they felt as if they were traveling through a void, encountering little resistance.

Lu Xiaotian's eyes flickered. While he was entangled with the strange space, there was a slight disturbance at the node. That guy Luo Hou actually took advantage of his battle with someone to attack the Source Dragon Relic.

The other party's method was similar to his, also sending a Demon Lord-level expert to retrieve the treasure, clearly showing that they also had the same concerns as him.

Lu Xiaotian was temporarily restricted, while the other party was able to take the treasure with ease, clearly taking advantage of the fact that he had no one else available at the moment.

It seems we'll have to resort to more radical measures. There will be consequences, of course, but most of them will have to be borne by the Crimson Dream Demon Lord.

As Lu Xiaotian launched his attack, the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle shone brightly, reflecting the dark blue-black Nine Nether Weak Water below into several different color zones.

The strange entity within the space also possessed considerable skill, managing to trap the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle. However, after struggling with the flying needle for a while, the strange entity suddenly cried out in alarm.

The lightning power contained within the flying needle was too bizarre, possessing both chaotic lightning power and boundary-breaking divine lightning—two terrifying types of lightning power. Even with his mastery of spatial laws and his fusion with the mysteries of the Dharma Realm, he was unable to suppress the intent within the opponent's lightning power.

While the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle couldn't do anything to him for the time being, the rapid insertion of the flying needles did manage to define a general area within the mysterious space under his control.

Its Dharma realm can extend infinitely, boundless and limitless to lower-level beings, yet seemingly within reach of sufficiently powerful enemies.

Lu Xiaotian didn't need to rely on flying needles to break the opponent's spatial manipulation technique; he only needed to provide enough clues. When he stopped being as cautious as before and dared to take a gamble, some invisible shackles were also broken.

Lu Xiaotian reached out and extended his hand, and then a giant hand scooped into the Nine Nether Weak Water, causing the dark blue water to shake violently and surge with waves.

Trapped within the space, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord immediately witnessed an extremely bizarre scene: it seemed that this giant hand had scooped out a large chunk from the vast, boundless Nine Nether Weak Waters. In the blink of an eye, the entire space she was in was ripped up by that giant hand.

Forcibly capturing a space in the palm of his hand is a technique that Lu Xiaotian has cultivated for many years—the ability to seize the heavens and grasp the earth.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord's heart was in turmoil. The Dragon Lord's previous attacks had been lukewarm, but now they had suddenly become incredibly domineering, with earth-shattering power in every gesture.

His previous ease in trapping these powerful figures in a dream world and his casual capture of the mutilated head of the Dream Demon Ancestor seemed far too nonchalant. Compared to the aura he displayed now, it paled in comparison.

The Nine Nether Weak Water has a tremendous suction force on the eerie space. When the giant hand began to pull the eerie space away from the Weak Water, a violent tug occurred in the middle, causing the eerie space to deform.

It didn't seem to require any sophisticated methods; it was simply a matter of brute force pulling the strange space out of the Weak Water. This suction force was used to deform the strange space, and the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle was constantly weaving through it.

Crimson Dream Demon Lord also immediately felt a terrifying, twisting force. Poof! Immense pressure surged in layers, and Crimson Dream Demon Lord's face instantly turned pale. The pressure, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, made her feel as if she would be crushed to pieces at any moment.

"Does Your Excellency truly intend to exterminate them all?" The being within the strange space ultimately could not match Lu Xiaotian's strength. After a stalemate, a hoarse voice spoke in extreme exasperation.

"Release the Crimson Dream Demon Lord inside," Lu Xiaotian said calmly. Since the opponent was weaker than him, the initiative was naturally in his hands.

"Stop right now, and I'll release them immediately." The situation was beyond their control, and the being in the strange space, unwilling to be torn apart by Lu Xiaotian, had no choice but to bow down.

A flash of dark blue light appeared, and the Crimson Dream Demon Lord, who had just been struggling to hold on and felt that he would be crushed by the power of space at any moment, suddenly felt relaxed and was temporarily freed.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. The struggle between this strange space and the Dragon Lord is terrifying.

“Someone is retrieving the Source Dragon Relic from the other side of the node. You can’t be too slow. Go now,” Lu Xiaotian said.

"Yes, Dragon Lord." The Crimson Dream Demon Lord breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his state slightly, and, relying on the Dream Saint Separation Pearl, dived down again, quickly approaching the direction of the spatial node.

"I've done as you said, now you can let me leave, right?" the being in the eerie space said coldly.

"Alright." Lu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, reduced the force in his hand, and withdrew the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle. After watching the other party quickly disappear from sight, Lu Xiaotian's middle corner twitched slightly.

Below are several nodes, and there is more than one Source Dragon Relic; some are relatively easy to retrieve, while others are more difficult. (End of Chapter)
