261: Chapter 261 The Undying Dao Body?

Lin Waner quickly calmed down and sneered:

"To gamble your future path on a match you cannot possibly win, I truly admire you a little. However..."

"How many times can you use such overdraws?"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Waner's eyes turned sharp, no longer giving Leng Ningshuang any chance to catch her breath.

Her hands moved rapidly, and the Dao Rhyme of water and fire surged around her, as her attacks poured down like a violent storm.

"Ice and Fire Dual Heavens!"

Powerful immortal arts and Divine Abilities blasted toward Leng Ningshuang without mercy.

She deliberately controlled the power, not because she couldn't achieve a one-hit kill, but because she wanted to toy with her prey like a hunter, wounding her opponent over and over again to enjoy watching her struggle in pain and despair.

Boom!

Leng Ningshuang was hit by a violent water tornado; her chest caved in, and she was sent flying back while coughing up a large amount of blood.

But in the next moment, she stood up, her injuries completely healed.

Chii!

The Heaven-Burning Flames brushed past her, burning her left arm until it was charred and carbonized.

A second later, the charring vanished, and her new skin was as smooth as before.

Bang!

The intertwined energy of ice and fire exploded in front of her, tearing her flesh apart until she looked like a person made of blood.

The wounds healed instantly, and the bloodstains disappeared.

Once, twice, thrice... ten times... every time Leng Ningshuang fell, she would stand up expressionlessly in the next moment.

From beginning to end, her gaze remained terrifyingly calm—no pain, no fatigue, not even a hint of the weakness that should have come from overdrawing her potential.

The sarcasm and playfulness on Lin Waner's face gradually began to falter.

"How is this possible... Even with the highest-grade Life-Burning Secret Technique, after using it so many times, her Foundation should have been destroyed and her immortal fetus shattered long ago!"

The unease in her heart began to grow, and she unconsciously increased the power of her attacks, trying to force out her opponent's limit more quickly.

On the high platform, the Beautiful woman in palace attire watched her beloved disciple being severely wounded and recovering over and over again, her heart aching so much it felt like it was bleeding.

She could no longer bear it and suddenly stood up, about to speak and concede on Leng Ningshuang's behalf:

"Stop! We con..."

"Junior Sister, wait!"

A stern-faced Elder beside her reached out to stop her and said in a deep voice:

"The match is not yet over, and Leng Ningshuang has not conceded. Since she chose to use such a secret technique, she must have her own considerations. Intervening now would not only be against the rules but would also make all her previous efforts go to waste."

Hearing this, the Beautiful woman in palace attire froze. Looking at her daughter's stubborn and unfamiliar figure below the stage, she finally closed her eyes in pain and sat back down powerlessly.

On the arena stage, the anxiety and doubt in Lin Waner's heart spread like wildfire.

Twenty times... thirty times... Leng Ningshuang remained just as she was at the start; aside from her clothes being more tattered, there was no sign of her aura weakening at all.

There wasn't even a shadow of the so-called secret technique's backlash.

"No... this is absolutely not right!"

Lin Waner finally realized the gravity of the situation, and a chill spread through her entire body.

What kind of secret technique could allow someone to endure dozens of fatal injuries without any cost?

This completely defies common sense!

Even burning one's life away completely wouldn't achieve this!

"You... what on earth are you?!"

Lin Waner's voice carried a hint of trembling that she herself hadn't noticed.

The Eighteenth Prince's words echoed in her mind, making her stop holding back and abandon her playful attitude.

"Die! Water-Fire Extinguishing Divine Light!"

She shrieked and used her ultimate trump card: a grayish divine light that fused the Origin of water and fire and emitted an aura of annihilation. It shot toward the space between Leng Ningshuang's eyebrows like a teleportation.

This strike was enough to completely destroy a True Immortal.

The divine light hit its mark precisely; Leng Ningshuang's forehead was instantly pierced through. Her body stiffened, and the light in her eyes seemed about to dissipate.

Lin Waner stared intently, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.

One breath, two breaths... the hole in her forehead healed visibly to the naked eye, her unfocused eyes regained their clarity, and she looked coldly at Lin Waner.

"Impossible... This is impossible!!!"

Lin Waner broke down, her psychological defenses completely shattered by this scene that transcended her understanding.

Like a madwoman, she recklessly channeled the immortal essence in her body and launched a series of disorganized attacks:

"What on earth are you?!"

In the spectator stands, everyone stood up in shock, gazing at the scene on the arena stage that defied comprehension.

Lin Waner's Water-Fire Extinguishing Divine Light, which was powerful enough to annihilate a True Immortal, actually had no effect?

This had completely exceeded their knowledge of common sense in cultivation!

"This... this is definitely not something a common Life-Burning Secret Technique can explain!"

An Elder with white hair and beard spoke with a dry voice, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"To endure so many fatal attacks, and even to recover instantly after a vital point of the Divine Sense was pierced... Could it be..."

Another well-informed female Elder's pupils constricted. She seemed to recall a legend that only existed in ancient texts and muttered hesitantly:

"Could it be the legendary, long-extinct... Indestructible Dao Body?!"

This speculation was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up stormy waves in the hearts of the Elders.

Dao Bodies, each possessing incredible abilities, are the creations of the world's spiritual essence.

If Leng Ningshuang had truly awakened the Indestructible Dao Body, then everything before them seemed to have a plausible explanation... On the arena stage, Lin Waner watched as Leng Ningshuang, whose forehead wound had healed and whose gaze was as cold as ever, approached step by step. The fear in her heart reached its peak.

The Eighteenth Prince's cold words kept echoing in her ears; she could not afford the consequences of losing.

"No! I cannot lose!"

Lin Waner's face twisted, and a flash of crazed blood-red light appeared in her eyes.

She violently slapped her own chest, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood containing her life's Origin, and rapidly formed hand seals, actually beginning to burn her own potential and Lifespan as well.

"With my essence blood, burn my immortal soul! Water and Fire Disorder, Qiankun Strike!"

She roared as the aura around her surged frantically at an abnormal speed, temporarily breaking through to the Mid-stage True Immortal level.

An energy even more terrifying than the previous "Water-Fire Extinguishing Divine Light," chaotic in color and seemingly able to disrupt Yin and Yang, condensed between her hands. With a determination to perish together, she blasted it toward Leng Ningshuang!

This strike drained the last of her immortal essence.

Boom—!

Terrifying energy swept across the arena stage.

However, as the dust cleared, the result was still despair-inducing.

Leng Ningshuang was still standing there, without even a single new scar to be found on her body.

"Wh... why..."

Lin Waner was completely overdrawn and slumped to the ground.

Looking at Leng Ningshuang, who approached step by step like Eternal Black Ice, her eyes were filled with bloodshot veins and ultimate terror.

Her previous arrogance and ruthlessness had long since vanished, replaced by a bone-deep despair brought about by the Eighteenth Prince's cold words.

"No... Leng Ningshuang... Senior Sister Leng!"

Her voice was hoarse as she struggled with her last bit of strength to shout, her voice carrying a sob:

"You can't win! You absolutely cannot win! If I lose, the Eighteenth Prince won't let me go, he won't let the Lin Family go! Please... I'm begging you! Let me have this victory! As long as you concede, my Lin Family will surely repay you a hundredfold in the future! I'll get you whatever resources you want!"
