Chapter 30 The Battle for the Spiritual Source Ends, the Female Lead Shows Her Prowess

The jade slip's light grew stronger and stronger, merging with the light of the nodes to form a strange and dazzling energy vortex.

Dai Yao's lips curled into a confident smile. "I'll give it my all!" She gritted her teeth and resolutely inserted the jade slip into the node.

"What exactly is she trying to do?!" Chi Yan's eyes widened, her pupils suddenly contracted, and an indescribable sense of crisis surged into her heart.

He roared and launched the first attack. A massive wave of fire, like a raging beast, swept towards Dai Yao with bared fangs and claws.

Shui Ling Ji and the Shadow Wolf were not to be outdone. Water dragons roared out, and wolf shadows overlapped, attacking Dai Yao from different directions.

Even the shadowy wind, hidden in the dark, couldn't hold back. A sinister black energy beam silently shot towards Dai Yao's back.

"What the hell! Playing this so ruthlessly?!" Upon seeing this, Xingmang's eyes were bloodshot and his gaze was about to burst. He was anxious and wanted to break through the many obstacles to help Dai Yao, but he was held back by several Golden Core cultivators and could not get away.

He could only watch helplessly as Dai Yao was surrounded, his heart filled with anxiety.

"Outnumbering the weak? Have you no shame?" Xingmang roared angrily, but could only helplessly swing his longsword and fight fiercely with the cultivators who were blocking his way.

Surrounded by attacks from all directions, Dai Yao was like a lone boat in a storm, seemingly about to be mercilessly swallowed up at any moment.

However, she took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes, and instead of dodging, she let the attacks surge towards her.

"Has this girl gone mad?" Chi Yan was startled and couldn't help but wonder if she had some hidden trick up her sleeve.

Just as the attack was about to hit Dai Yao, the light from the jade slip and the node suddenly merged together, transforming into a huge sphere of light that completely enveloped Dai Yao.

The sphere of light emitted an incredibly powerful repulsive force, reflecting all attacks back.

"What?!" Chi Yan and the others were shocked and hurriedly dodged the rebounding attack in a panic.

The sphere of light gradually shrank and eventually disappeared without a trace.

Dai Yao reappeared before everyone's eyes, but the aura emanating from her had undergone a complete transformation.

She slowly opened her eyes, which sparkled with a light as bright as stars, just like the most dazzling stars in the night sky.

"Is that all you've got?" Dai Yao's lips curled up slightly as she glanced disdainfully at the crowd around her. She said casually, "Warm-up is over. Now..." She paused slightly, and a longsword emitting a ghostly blue light appeared out of thin air in her hand, "...It's my turn to make my move."

"Wait!" A hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

Youyingfeng's figure slowly emerged from the shadows. His gaze was fixed on Dai Yao with a sinister intensity, and he said in a low voice, "You... you actually..." He paused, his face filled with disbelief, "...absorbed the spiritual source?!"

Dai Yao smiled dismissively, raised her eyebrows slightly, and the dark blue longsword in her hand hummed, as if it was fully expressing her excitement at the moment.

"What, are you surprised? Do you feel like your wishful thinking has completely failed and you've lost everything?" Her tone was full of mockery, as if she were ruthlessly ridiculing a ridiculous clown.

Crimson Flame, Water Spirit Princess, and Shadow Wolf were all stunned by this sudden and earth-shattering change.

They were certain that Dai Yao was doomed and would die, but they never expected that she would not only be safe and sound, but also successfully absorb the spiritual source and her strength would increase dramatically.

This is simply beyond imagination!

Chi Yan gritted his teeth, his heart filled with endless resentment and anger.

"Impossible! How could you have absorbed the power of the spiritual source so easily? You must have used some underhanded and despicable means!"

"Despicable?" Dai Yao burst into laughter as if she had heard an absurd joke. "You're allowed to gang up on me, but I'm not allowed to use a cheat code? You're a hypocrite, no doubt about it!" She rolled her eyes and adopted an arrogant "what can you do to me?" attitude.

Starlight watched Dai Yao's domineering demeanor and felt secretly pleased. He couldn't help but shout, "Dai Yao, you did a great job! Let's teach them a lesson!"

Dai Yao winked playfully at Xingmang and smiled, "Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits."

You Yingfeng's face was as gloomy as a dark cloud, and a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes.

He had meticulously planned to use the power of the spiritual source to enhance his own strength, but unexpectedly, Dai Yao beat him to it.

This made him feel incredibly angry and deeply frustrated.

"Don't think that absorbing the spiritual source will make you invincible!" Youyingfeng's tone was icy cold, filled with murderous intent. "You are far too naive!"

Dai Yao's smile vanished, and her eyes instantly turned sharp as knives.

She slowly raised the longsword in her hand, the tip pointing directly at You Yingfeng, her tone firm and domineering: "Now, it's time to settle this score between us!"

Youyingfeng sneered, and a black longsword appeared in his hand, its blade gleaming with a chilling light.

"Let's see who comes out on top!"

Just as tensions were running high and a major battle seemed imminent... Dai Yao suddenly sheathed her sword, clapped her hands with a look of disgust, and exclaimed, "Oh dear, I completely forgot! I haven't eaten yet, I'm starving! Let's eat first, then fight!" With that, she pulled a chicken leg from her storage bag and began to devour it without a care in the world...

Dai Yao was gnawing on a chicken leg, her mouth dripping with oil, muttering indistinctly, "You guys keep fighting, I'll deal with you after I finish eating." She looked nothing like a martial arts master; she was practically a mukbang streamer.

Youying was furious, his anger reaching a boiling point. In all his years of wandering the martial world, this was the first time he had ever encountered such a bizarre fellow.

This is the greatest insult and contempt he could ever receive!

Just as the Shadow Wind was about to erupt completely, Dai Yao finally finished eating the chicken leg in her hand.

She clapped her hands, licked her fingers with lingering satisfaction, and then slowly stood up.

As the spiritual energy was continuously absorbed by Dai Yao, the light around her grew stronger and stronger, and she even showed a faint tendency to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Chi Yan, Shui Ling Ji, and An Ying Lang were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. This... this is too incredible!

"Burp~" Dai Yao let out a burp, rubbed her round belly, and then turned her gaze to everyone.

A slight upturn of her lips revealed an extremely wicked smile: "Alright, now... who wants to die first?" As soon as she finished speaking, an incomparably powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire area.

Everyone then realized that Dai Yao was not pretending to be weak at all; she was clearly a super Tyrannosaurus Rex in sheep's clothing!

Her previous show of weakness was nothing more than a little trick she used to tease them!

Chi Yan and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear.

They originally thought they could easily deal with Dai Yao, but they didn't expect her to be so cunning.

Only then did they realize what a terrifying opponent they had provoked.

You Yingfeng's face turned ashen. He had thought he had the victory in his grasp, but he never expected that Dai Yao would outsmart him.

He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Dai Yao, don't get too cocky! Even if you've absorbed the spiritual source, you might not be my match!"

Dai Yao shrugged, looking indifferent: "Oh? Is that so? Then why don't you give it a try?" As she spoke, a long sword emitting a ghostly blue light suddenly appeared in her hand.

The sword is long and slender, with an extremely sharp blade, exuding a chilling aura that sends shivers down your spine.

Seeing this, Youyingfeng's face grew even more grim. He knew perfectly well that he had probably kicked a rock harder than he had imagined.

After absorbing the spiritual energy, Dai Yao did not keep all of it for herself as others had expected.

With a wave of her hand, she sealed the remaining spiritual energy, saying calmly, "The spiritual energy is for everyone who finds it; the rest you can distribute as you see fit." Before everyone could fully recover from their shock, Dai Yao dropped another bombshell: "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I hate it when people take my things, so... you'll have to return double what you took." She then winked at Xingmang, "Brother Xingmang, let's go!"

Xingmang paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly followed Dai Yao's steps.

Youyingfeng and the others watched Dai Yao's departing figure, their expressions shifting between anger and uncertainty.

They knew all too well that an even more violent storm was about to sweep in...

Dai Yao turned around and smiled sweetly at the crowd who were still standing there. Her smile was like a spring flower in full bloom, bright and beautiful, yet with a hint of slyness.

"I almost forgot the most important thing. I have a bad memory, so I'm setting a small goal—next time we meet, remember to call me Dad!" With that, she turned around gracefully, flew away on her sword, leaving behind a group of people bewildered in the wind and the words "Dad" echoing in the valley for a long time.

Xingmang's lips twitched, and he silently quickened his pace, trying his best to keep up with Dai Yao's steps.

This girl, she really knows how to say something shocking!

He suddenly felt a little sorry for Youyingfeng and his gang; he guessed they'd be so angry they'd vomit blood.

Hahahaha!

However, a surge of passionate energy welled up deep within Xingmang's heart.

With a boss like that, life is sure to be anything but dull!

When Dai Yao returned to the Demon Palace, she immediately sensed an unusual and oppressive atmosphere as soon as she stepped through the palace gates.

A tense atmosphere hung in the air, like the calm before a storm...
