"Hey, why did you suddenly attack this queen?"
"You little girl from the Immortal Spirit Realm really are despicable."
"We were having a perfectly civil conversation, and you dare to strike this queen?"
"However, this queen is in a good mood today, so I won't bully you. Go deal with that little girl first, and then this queen will fight you."
Egg Egg had been ambushed, yet she showed no anger.
This actually caught the female Realm Spirit of the Immortal Spirit Realm off guard.
"Little girl, you've got quite the nerve. It's rare to find an upstanding Realm Spirit like you in the Asura Spirit Realm."
"Very well, this immortal will quickly finish off that girl, and then come back for a fair duel with you."
With those words, the Immortal Spirit Realm's Realm Spirit launched another attack on Xue Ji.
At first, she remained wary of Egg Egg, but upon realizing that Egg Egg truly had no intention of attacking her, she went all out against Xue Ji.
She genuinely wanted to finish off Xue Ji as quickly as possible before turning to Egg Egg.
Hummmm—
However, at that moment, Xue Ji stopped dodging and charged straight at the Immortal Spirit Realm's Realm Spirit.
Xue Ji's combat power had surged dramatically, allowing her to fight the Immortal Spirit Realm's Realm Spirit to a standstill.
"What's going on?"
"How did she suddenly become so much stronger?"
The female Realm Spirit of the Immortal Spirit Realm was utterly bewildered by this sudden change.
"Wait—the golden glow on her body has changed."
"Is she burning that bestowed power, squeezing it dry?"
But she quickly figured it out. The power augmented on Xue Ji's body was undergoing a transformation, as if it were burning, accelerating the rate at which it dissipated.
Yet it was precisely this change that granted Xue Ji even greater power.
"This Asura Realm Spirit actually has some tricks—she can burn the power bestowed upon her."
"Sacrificing faster depletion in exchange for greater strength."
"But this technique absolutely cannot be sustained for long. That power will be squeezed dry very quickly, and when that happens, with only your own cultivation, what will you use to fight this immortal?"
Having seen through Xue Ji's transformation, the female Realm Spirit of the Immortal Spirit Realm calmed down.
Though Xue Ji currently had the power to fight her on equal footing, defeating her would still be no easy task.
As long as she dragged the fight out, Xue Ji would inevitably lose.
Ptch—
But suddenly, a scalding liquid burst from her chest.
Looking down, she saw that a small hand had pierced clean through her heart.
The hand itself was delicate and beautiful, but now it was drenched in blood, looking absolutely terrifying.
Turning around, she saw it was Egg Egg.
At some point, Egg Egg had appeared behind her and driven her palm clean through her heart from the back.
The power on Egg Egg's body had undergone the same change as Xue Ji's—it was burning too, and burning even faster.
This made Egg Egg's bestowed power even stronger in this moment.
That was how Egg Egg had been able to land such a strike while she was fighting Xue Ji with everything she had.
"You treacherous witch, you broke your word!"
The female Realm Spirit of the Immortal Spirit Realm gnashed her teeth in fury, for she could feel that this blow was fatal.
And so, disregarding everything, she swung the long whip in her hand, determined to launch one final attack against Her Majesty the Queen.
"Heh..."
But the Queen merely flashed a grin, then swept her arm outward.
Riiip—
The female Realm Spirit of the Immortal Spirit Realm was cleaved in two by the Queen, who used her arm as a blade.
By the time her body hit the ground, all life had left her. Yet she not only maintained an expression of volcanic fury, but her eyes were also wide open—truly dying with her eyes unshut.
