However, even though the tongues could sweep away the armored puppets, they couldn't stop the puppets from rushing over again. The armored puppets would occasionally send out beams of divine light to attack, causing damage to the tongues.
If this continued, Xiao Lingyu was certain that the toad-like monsters wouldn't be able to last until the end. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to attack. Instead, he focused all his attention on controlling the thousands of armored puppets to attack wildly.
The toad-like monsters seemed to know that if this continued, it would be very disadvantageous for them. Therefore, after they persevered for a while, they felt a constant stabbing pain coming from their tongues. Together, they cried out loudly and quickly joined their front claws to form a circle. Then, they began to make the circle spin continuously.
The auras of several toads instantly condensed into one, causing the pool water to spin continuously. Hurricanes formed and swept up all the armored puppets, making it difficult for them to stabilize their bodies.
Xiao Lingyu was the same. As the pool water spun, he couldn't stabilize his body at all. Therefore, he hid in his Divine Abode.
That toad, a late-stage Emperor-level expert, still stood guard in front of the stone wall, blocking the King Bodhi behind him.
"I don't believe that you can keep spinning!"
Xiao Lingyu was in his Divine Abode. He wasn't anxious at all. He just stared outside with a solemn expression.
The whirlpool outside was too strong. Even the Divine Abode was being swept up continuously. However, whether it was the Divine Abode or the armored puppets, they only found it difficult to stabilize. They didn't suffer the slightest damage.
These toad-like monsters were able to live in the Cave of a Thousand Bats and didn't fear the countless bat monsters. They were indeed quite capable.
Even Mao Zhen must have been here before. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so sure that the King Bodhi was here. However, he must have fought with these toads before. It was just that he couldn't win.
These toads naturally couldn't keep spinning forever. Not long after, they stopped. Then, they all looked panting.
The armored puppets swayed for a while before they slowly stabilized. Xiao Lingyu left his Divine Abode again and used his mind to control the armored puppets to fight.
Countless bat monsters once again gathered above the pool, probably sensing the fierce battle here.
Among them, the Emperor level bat monsters observed the situation in the pool. Then, they ordered countless bat monsters below the Emperor level to pounce down again.
Kill you while you're down! The bat demons seemed to know this as well.
Seeing that the Bat Demons had arrived, Xiao Lingyu covered her body with the Chaotic Primordial Flame so that the Bat Demons would not dare to attack her.
In the beginning, the bat demons also attacked the armored puppets. However, their sharp fangs and claws could not harm the armored puppets. When they discovered that the armored puppets were attacking the toad-like demon beasts that they hated the most, they gave up on attacking the armored puppets and focused all their attention on the toad-like demon beasts.
Even the Emperor-level bat demons that hadn't moved before pounced down and joined the battle.
Xiao Lingyu and the thousands of armored puppets had already given the toad-like monsters a headache. Now, with the addition of countless bat monsters, it was even harder for them to hold on.
The ordinary Emperor-Class toads began to show serious injuries. The late-stage Emperor-Class toad knew that the situation was bad. It let out a loud roar and unleashed its aura to wipe out countless bat demons. It also knocked aside the armored golems. Then, it used its tongue to suck King Bodhi into its mouth.
Xiao Lingyu was anxious. She controlled the thousands of puppets to surround the late-stage Emperor-Class toad. She held the Silver Moon Broken Blade and bathed in the purplish-black Chaotic Primordial Flame as she charged over.
As for the ordinary Emperor-Class toads, they were too tired to resist the bat demons' attacks to help their boss.
Croak!
The late-stage Emperor-Class toad was having a hard time resisting the attacks of the thousands of puppets. After all, these puppets were used by Xiao Lingyu to deal with Immortal Supremes. How could a late-stage Emperor-Class demon beast be able to resist them so easily? It cried out anxiously. Then, the ordinary Emperor-Class toads all self-destructed without hesitation.
Several Emperor-Class existences self-destructed at the same time. The power was naturally incomparably violent. Xiao Lingyu hid in her Divine Abode without a second thought.
The thousand-odd puppets had solid armor for defense. Although they had been blown far away and looked dispirited, the damage wasn't great.
The bat demons didn't have it any better. In just an instant, none of the bat demons below the Emperor-Class level were left. Even the Emperor-Class bat demons were injured by the explosion and were all sent flying out of the mountain.
What Xiao Lingyu didn't expect was that after the toad-like demon beasts self-destructed, the energy that gushed out from their bodies was all absorbed by the late-stage Emperor-Class toad after creating terrifying shockwaves. Then, the remaining toad-like demon beast's aura soared all the way to the peak of the late-stage Emperor-Class in the blink of an eye. Moreover, it was only a hair's breadth away from the Immortal Supreme-Class.
"So what if you used such a vicious spell to increase your strength? As long as you're not at the Immortal Supreme-Class, I can torture you to death!"
Xiao Lingyu was still not in a hurry. When the explosion subsided, he once again left the Divine Abode.
Under Xiao Lingyu's thoughts, the armored puppets began to move again. They once again surrounded the toad demon beast and began to attack.
After the huge increase in strength, the toad became even more ferocious. However, even a tiger couldn't fight against many wolves. Gradually, it couldn't hold on any longer.
The self-destruction of the few Emperor-Class toads had already razed the mountain to the ground. Even the Cave of a Thousand Bats no longer existed. The armored puppets and the late-stage Emperor-Class toad were already exposed beside the surging river.
Even the cultivators of the Wondrous Pill Sect, who were five million miles away, looked over in shock.
The toad held on for a while longer. Seeing that it couldn't defeat its opponent, it began to flee.
The armored puppets could besiege the toad, but they couldn't stop it. Xiao Lingyu put away all the armored puppets and then entered the Divine Abode to give chase.
This toad wasn't known for its speed, and the speed of the Divine Abode was faster than that of an ordinary Immortal Supreme-Class cultivator. It couldn't escape no matter how hard it tried.
After the Divine Abode caught up with the toad, it ruthlessly slammed into it.
After being hit, the toad's aura weakened a little. Moreover, its body was injured.
After being hit several times, the toad's speed was greatly reduced. Xiao Lingyu released the armored puppets and surrounded it.
In the end, the toad despaired. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for it to escape. Therefore, its body began to swell. It seemed that it was going to self-destruct.
Xiao Lingyu could've hidden in the Divine Abode. No matter how the toad self-destructed, it wouldn't hurt him. However, the Bodhi King was still in its stomach. If it self-destructed, the Bodhi King would probably disappear with it. Therefore, he took a huge risk and rushed toward the toad.
When the toad saw the enemy rushing toward it, it reflexively stretched out its tongue, wrapped it around the attacker, and swallowed him into its stomach.
Once the self-destruction started, it couldn't be stopped unless a Supreme-Class cultivator came over and suppressed it with a great divine ability.
Xiao Lingyu entered the toad's stomach and quickly found the Bodhi King. He put it into a high-grade jade box.
Just as King Bodhi was put away by Xiao Lingyu, before he could do anything else, the toad's body exploded with a loud bang.
Xiao Lingyu was at the center of the explosion. Naturally, he suffered the greatest impact. This was also the reason why the toad swallowed him into its stomach.
Although he couldn't hide in the Divine Abode in time, the Invisibility Divine Robe on Xiao Lingyu's body was a Divine Artifact. It also had the defensive power of an ordinary Divine Artifact. Therefore, the toad's self-destruction couldn't kill Xiao Lingyu. This was also the biggest reason why Xiao Lingyu dared to charge over.
It was impossible for him to die. However, after the toad's self-destruction, Xiao Lingyu didn't have it easy either. The Invisibility Divine Robe helped him absorb most of the impact. However, that small amount of impact still broke countless bones in his body. His Qi and blood were in turmoil. Even the Chaos Demon Nascent Soul spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.
The self-destruction of a late-stage Emperor-level demon beast was even more powerful. Not only did it create a huge crater with a diameter of no less than ten thousand miles, but it also created a huge black hole in space. However, this black hole closed up in an instant.
Xiao Lingyu put away the armored puppets that had been blasted far away. He endured the turmoil in his body and hid in the Divine Abode.
Xiao Lingyu didn't return to the Wonderful Pill Sect directly. First, he let the Divine Abode fly into space. He found an ordinary-looking planet and sank deep into the ground. Only then did he let the Divine Abode stop. He took out the jade bathtub from the Divine Abode. Then, he poured the medicinal soup he had prepared in advance into the bathtub. He began to use the Body Transformation Technique to heal his injuries.
Xiao Lingyu's injuries were too severe. This ordinary medicinal soup could only stabilize his injuries. It couldn't completely heal him.
A few months later, Xiao Lingyu returned to the Wonderful Pill Sect's encampment. Although his complexion wasn't good, he didn't seem to be in too much trouble.
With such a huge commotion in the Myriad Bat Cave, the Wonderful Pill Sect, as the masters of the Piao Xiang Continent, naturally sent people to investigate. The situation there had already reached Mao Zhen's ears.
Although he didn't want to believe it, Mao Zhen knew that it was Xiao Lingyu who had created it. Originally, he thought that Xiao Lingyu hadn't returned for a long time. Most likely, he had fallen. However, Elder Peng said that the soul imprint he had left on Xiao Lingyu hadn't disappeared.
Now that Xiao Lingyu was standing in front of Mao Zhen, Mao Zhen naturally didn't have any doubts. He only asked, "Has the Bodhi King been retrieved?"
Xiao Lingyu didn't answer. He just handed the jade box to Mao Zhen. Then, he went to check on Qing Xuan, who was lying on a wooden bed.
At this time, Qing Xuan's body was wrapped in a layer of ice crystals. She was still unconscious. However, Xiao Lingyu didn't feel any life essence flowing out of her body.
"We have already fused the Frost Essence into her body. Now, her body is fine. Her life essence is gradually recovering. Moreover, because of the divine grade in her body, it will be easier for her to absorb and refine divine power in the future. It will be easier for her to advance to the Immortal Venerable realm compared to ordinary late-stage Emperors," explained Elder Peng.
"When can you refine the divine pill?"
