In an instant, the light flared brilliantly!
The transparent medicinal tripod suddenly began to tremble!
Then, it abruptly soared into the air! It shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In the blink of an eye, the tripod had shrunk to the size of a single palm!
Chu Liuyue looked at the tiny medicinal tripod in her palm with wonder.
It was clear and clean, exquisite and small; rather than a medicinal tripod, it looked more like an incense tripod used for offerings!
High in the air, the black eagle, who had been staring at Chu Liuyue with a dark, gloomy expression, felt a deep shock flash through its eyes upon seeing this scene!
Chu Liuyue was actually able to get close to that tripod!
And furthermore, that tripod actually—
Boom!
It flapped its wings forcefully and dove toward Chu Liuyue!
Chu Liuyue looked up!
Right at that moment!
That tiny, transparent incense tripod suddenly began to spin!
Its sharp claw swiftly carved a wound into the palm of Chu Liuyue's hand!
*Sizzle—*
Crimson blood seeped out! It was then rapidly absorbed by the medicinal tripod, vanishing without a trace!
In the next moment, the incense tripod transformed into a streak of flowing light, entering directly into Chu Liuyue's body through the wound in her palm!
Chu Liuyue quickly sensed that something seemed to have been added to her dantian.
She froze and took a careful look—it was indeed that transparent medicinal tripod!
It had actually entered her dantian silently!
Chu Liuyue frowned.
She had not yet figured out what this thing actually was, and this situation was far too dangerous—
However, just as she intended to extract the tiny tripod, the water droplet, which had remained motionless the entire time, suddenly hovered above it!
A streak of black flame surged out from the incense tripod!
Yet, when the flame attempted to swallow the water droplet, it suddenly emitted a "sizzling" sound!
The black flame instantly lost its momentum!
At the same time, a shrill, miserable scream echoed in Chu Liuyue's ears!
The ferocious beast that was about to charge in front of her abruptly stopped, letting out a painful cry toward the heavens!
Chu Liuyue was stunned for a moment.
Then, a bold guess flashed through her mind!
She attempted to manipulate the water droplet to approach the incense tripod.
With every step it drew closer, the black karmic fire burning within the incense tripod retreated a step!
And the aura of the originally ferocious phantom in front of Chu Liuyue gradually weakened!
With a thought from Chu Liuyue, the water droplet rapidly spun once inside the incense tripod!
The black phantom finally collapsed, dissipating completely!
Chu Liuyue looked toward her dantian.
Most of the black karmic fire within the incense tripod had receded, leaving only one last small cluster.
One could vaguely see a pair of crimson eyes.
Clearly, the beast's soul was hiding within this final cluster of flames.
As long as the water droplet moved a little closer, it could easily be purged.
Chu Liuyue's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"It seems you are nothing special after all."
A trace of unwillingness flashed within those eyes filled with bloody killing intent.
It could never have imagined that the incense tripod would not only fail to kill Chu Liuyue, but instead—
Seeing its resentment, Chu Liuyue said
"I know you are unwilling, but that doesn't matter. This incense tripod looks quite good; as for you, there is truly no need to continue staying here."
As she spoke, with a thought, the water droplet flew rapidly toward the last cluster of flames!
A piercing scream of begging for mercy suddenly rang out!
Chu Liuyue paused.
"Are you willing to admit defeat now?"
A flash of fear crossed those eyes, followed by silence; it was clearly a tacit admission.
"A pity, I don't need it."
Although she didn't know why the incense tripod had entered her dantian, it was clear that dealing with this beast was now as easy as turning over her hand!
Hong Yao flew excitedly around Chu Liuyue, its eyes bright.
It had heard that beast's miserable scream loud and clear just now!
Chu Liuyue glanced at Hong Yao and smiled knowingly
"You want to take revenge yourself?"
Hong Yao nodded, then shook its head.
As long as it could deal with that beast, it didn't care about anything else, even if it couldn't personally strike the final blow to end its life.
Besides, the one striking was her!
Hong Yao looked utterly satisfied.
Fortunately, it hadn't asked Mu Qing and Lai to help earlier!
Without them, it could still settle its grudge!
Chu Liuyue had long anticipated Hong Yao's answer and patted its head.
As expected, it still loved to be lazy, just like before.
Tuanzi gave a disdainful snort and flicked its tail.
Hong Yao glared at it indignantly.
Tuanzi raised a paw and spun around boastfully.
It was completely unharmed; compared to the injured Hong Yao, it looked much more presentable.
Hong Yao was speechless with rage.
Chu Liuyue simply chose to ignore the bickering between the two little ones. Concentrating her mind, she decided to resolve the beast once and for all!
Just as the last cluster of black flames was about to be annihilated, a hoarse, low voice suddenly drifted out.
"You cannot kill me!"
Chu Liuyue's pupils constricted!
That voice belonged to the beast!
It could actually speak!
"Are you... a Divine Beast?!"
Chu Liuyue asked in disbelief.
On the Xuanwu Continent, the hierarchy of magical beasts was strictly enforced.
Legend had it that when a magical beast's level exceeded the ninth rank, it could break through its shackles to speak human language and manifest a human form!
Such existences that surpassed ordinary magical beasts were also called Divine Beasts!
Even in her past life, as the noble Heavenly Mandate Imperial Princess, she had never personally seen an existence of this level!
She had once thought it was merely a legend, but she never expected that beneath this Nine Nether Tower, a Divine Beast was actually being suppressed!
Within that cluster of flames, a translucent figure suddenly appeared!
Just like the relief on the great doors, it was an eagle.
It stared at Chu Liuyue; although its form appeared very illusory, the pressure it exerted was still impossible to ignore.
Chu Liuyue observed it carefully, many thoughts flashing through her mind, but in the end, she could not recall which legendary Divine Beast this was.
"...I have coexisted with this Tianfang Sacred Tripod for a thousand years, depending on one another. If you are willing to let me leave, I shall be eternally grateful!"
Chu Liuyue's heart stirred slightly.
The Tianfang Sacred Tripod?
The name seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
After thinking for a moment, she simply set it aside for now and refocused her attention on the Divine Beast.
"You want me to let you go?"
"Indeed."
"If I truly let you go, how do you plan to repay me?"
"As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost."
Chu Liuyue paused, saying nothing.
"This Tianfang Sacred Tripod is a supreme holy object. If you let me leave, this thing will automatically belong to you."
Chu Liuyue gave a half-smile
"It seems to have already taken me as its master, hasn't it? If I let you go and you turn around to kill me, what should I do? If I remember correctly, you've had that intention since the first time I entered this Nine Nether Tower, haven't you?"
What responded to Chu Liuyue was a bout of silence.
"I have always been one to pull weeds out by the roots, so—"
As Chu Liuyue spoke, she prepared to strike it down completely!
"I swear by the reputation of the Three-Eyed Divine Eagle clan: as long as you let me return, I shall never harm you in the slightest!"
