Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

44: Chapter 44: Starlight Refinement and the First Bloom of Mystic IceThe Land of Silver Sand had turned into a tragic battlefield.

The sudden eruption of Starlight Spikes was like divine punishment from the heavens, instantly dealing heavy blows to the vanguard of the Earth Fiends pack. In particular, those few most threatening dark purple variants were turned to ash along with the destruction energy spheres they were halfway through condensing. The shockwave of the explosion sent the surrounding Earth Fiendss tumbling, throwing their formation into complete Chaos.

This precious breathing room was accurately seized by Nangong Xuan!

”Kill!”

He let out a furious roar, and his long-suppressed Sword Intent and Battle Intent erupted completely! No longer playing defense, he held ”unyielding” and transformed into a streak of black-green lightning, actively charging into the scattered Earth Fiends pack!

The ”Vast Righteous Sword Heart Art” operated to its limit. Sensing its master’s resolve, the broken sword ”unyielding” let out an excited hum. The dark green luster on the blade flowed, becoming incomparably sharp. Every sword strike carried a dignified and upright, evil-dispelling and demon-breaking awe-inspiring Sword Intent!

Squelch!

With one sweep of his sword, a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Earth Fiends, along with its thick carapace, was easily sliced in two. Before the foul blood could even spray out, it was evaporated by the Vast Righteous Sword Qi!

Turning back with a diagonal slash, he split another small Earth Fiends pouncing from the side from head to tail!

Nangong Xuan’s figure shuttled through the monster pack, his sword light like a Dragon, invincible! He no longer pursued flashy sword moves but instead condensed his power to the extreme. Every strike was concise, efficient, and lethal! The broken sword ”unyielding” seemed to come alive in his hands, highly attuned to his Sword Intent, compensating for his lack of cultivation and erupting with astonishing lethality.

Even more wondrously, this Secret Realm seemed to be aiding him. Within the silver sand beneath his feet, Starlight Spikes would occasionally erupt without warning, accurately neutralizing sneak attacks from his blind spots or finishing off and completely purifying the heavily wounded Earth Fiendss under his sword. He was like one receiving the blessing of this world, fighting with increasing courage. His originally pale face flushed with the heat of the intense battle, and his consumed Sword Essence was actually being replenished and tempered bit by bit during the combat!

Lin Mo wasn’t idle either. His chaos dao seed, like the most precise auxiliary core, operated at full power.

On one hand, he continuously amplified and simulated Nangong Xuan’s Vast Righteous Sword Intent and the tranquil aura of the Star Lake, forming a mental interference field. This kept those Earth Fiendss in a state of irritability, confusion, and difficulty in concentrating their power, making their coordination full of holes.

On the other hand, he focused on ”taking care” of those fish that slipped through the net—the Earth Fiendss attempting to bypass Nangong Xuan and pounce on the light cocoon from the flanks or the air (some could glide briefly). Chaos Qi transformed into invisible tripwires, sudden sinkholes in the sand, or precise energy impacts that interrupted their lunges, forcing them back into Nangong Xuan’s sword range.

He was like an omnipresent battlefield controller; though he didn’t directly participate in the bloody combat, he greatly enhanced Nangong Xuan’s combat efficiency and survival capability.

One man and one ”infant,” one in the light and one in the dark, their cooperation grew increasingly seamless.

Though the Earth Fiendss were numerous, having lost their leader and with their formation in Chaos, and being struck by the Secret Realm itself and the duo’s seamless cooperation, they began to show signs of collapse. Earth Fiendss were constantly being slain or purified by Starlight, and the survivors began to harbor thoughts of retreat, their shrieks tinged with fear.

However, just as the scales of victory began to tilt—

BOOM!!!

That massive deep blue light cocoon, which had swallowed a vast amount of Starlight, suddenly contracted inward! Like a singularity before the birth of the Universe, it compressed all energy to the extreme!

The light of the entire Star Lake Mystic Realm dimmed for a moment, and all sound seemed to be sucked away.

The next moment—
