"Chirp... chirp..."
As Little Black Crystal charged towards the massive undead, Ye Fan showed no reaction. Instead, Little Blue Crystal and Little Red Crystal jumped out in front of Ye Fan, as if to remind him that Little Black Crystal was going to its "death."
Among the little crystals, Little Blue Crystal and Little Red Crystal were the first ones Ye Fan obtained, and they had the best relationship. Little Purple Crystal and Little Black Crystal joined later, with Little Purple Crystal being the first to take a human form. However, there was a common characteristic among the crystals; even if Little Red Crystal and Little Blue Crystal didn't have much "connection" with Little Black Crystal, they still felt confused about this fellow crystal's suicidal behavior.
"Master, they want you to help Little Black, to stop it from going to its death," Little Purple Crystal's voice echoed. At this moment, Little Purple Crystal was smart enough to hide in Ye Fan's arms without coming out, but she could still understand the meaning of her fellow crystals, speaking through the Tongling Mirror to inform Ye Fan.
Ye Fan responded through the Tongling Mirror, "I don't know why Black Crystal is behaving this way, but with my current cultivation, I can't save it."
As they spoke, Little Black Crystal and the massive undead had already engaged in battle.
Though Little Black Crystal had transformed into black mist, its form was still too small, while the massive undead could easily devour it.
Just as the massive undead was about to devour Little Black Crystal in one go, ending this lopsided battle, Little Black Crystal suddenly seemed like a giant magnetic field, still absorbing the wandering undead at sea into its body. The "wailing" sound seemed endless, the last lament of the undead.
Sang Yuan, Li Zhaojun, and the others could only watch the anomaly before them. Even Ye Fan couldn't help; they were at a loss against this massive spiritual body, only able to watch as Little Black Crystal and the massive spiritual body drew closer together.
"Roar..." A huge sound roared over the sea as the undead wrapped Little Black Crystal's black mist within its body, causing Little Black Crystal to seemingly vanish without a trace.
Li Zhaojun lamented, "It failed. Ye Fan, should we leave this dangerous place?"
"No." Ye Fan continued to sense the battle on the opposite side through the Tongling Mirror, the fight not ending because of the massive undead "devouring" Little Black Crystal. At this time, Little Black Crystal still had its power, rampaging inside the massive undead, slowly devouring its body.
"Hahaha..." The massive undead hadn't realized yet that the small spiritual body it swallowed was still alive, assuming it had been turned into a part of its strength. It laughed loudly with the friction of bones and rot, sounding arrogant and grim.
But it couldn't laugh for much longer.
"How is this possible?" Little Black Crystal hadn't perished within its body. At this moment, Little Black Crystal was like a fish in water. From a distance, it couldn't absorb the power from within the massive undead, but now being swallowed helped it instead.
The massive undead started to be frozen and dismantled from the inside. The bones and rot driven by the spiritual body, along with the red seawater, began to fall into the sea. Its power was gradually being absorbed by Little Black Crystal.
"Little thing, I will perish with you!" The massive undead realized the gap in power between its darkness and Little Black Crystal. In this moment of life and death, it planned to use self-destruction to kill Little Black Crystal, also affecting the mortals watching from the perimeter, namely Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun.
Ye Fan could sense that the massive undead's defenses were weakest at this point. If it truly self-destructed, Little Black Crystal would undoubtedly perish, and although he and Li Zhaojun had strong spiritual energy protection, they wouldn't escape unharmed.
There were two choices: one, to retreat and minimize casualties, and the other, to take the initiative.
Ye Fan said, "Sang Yuan, protect here. I'll go alone!"
With that, Ye Fan's body lunged towards the massive undead several kilometers away.
Little Purple Crystal, Little Blue Crystal, and Little Red Crystal exited Ye Fan's body to avoid danger, with Little Red Crystal and Little Purple Crystal jumping into Li Zhaojun's arms and Little Blue Crystal into Lan Jing's arms.
At this moment, the women's attention wasn't on the three little crystals but on Ye Fan, charging like a suicide attack.
In front of the massive undead, Ye Fan was just a mere human, but the spiritual energy gathered in his body was not much weaker than the massive undead. Ye Fan wasn't using a spell sword this time; his attack method was the Tongling Mirror hidden within his body.
The Tongling Mirror projected powerful yellow light towards the massive undead's head, with Ye Fan's spiritual energy striking concurrently. This was a stronger force than when Ye Fan broke the undead's array previously. With Tongling Mirror aiding him in finding the massive undead's weak points, he was confident this strike could obliterate the massive undead's soul.
At this moment, inside the massive undead's body, Little Black Crystal continued to absorb energy, akin to a relentless, greedy person. Yet it hadn't realized that the massive undead whose power it was absorbing was preparing to self-destruct and bring it down with it.
The undead required about two to three seconds to accumulate energy for self-destruction, and within those two to three seconds, Ye Fan was already leaping towards the massive undead, striking at its head.
Little Black Crystal realized the danger too late to dodge, but simultaneously, Ye Fan's attack arrived.
Right before the massive undead's self-detonation, within less than 0.1 seconds, the spiritual energy Ye Fan released and the Tongling Mirror's yellow light pierced through the undead's weakest head position.
"Ah..."
The injured undead let out a miserable cry in the air, instantly having its power dissipate, with the bones and rot driven by undead forces collapsing like a mountain into the sea.
Little Black Crystal, still in a state of shock, moved towards Ye Fan, like a little girl who did something wrong, standing not far from Ye Fan, then obediently returned to Ye Fan's side, circling him a few times before entering his storage bracelet.
This circling around Ye Fan was how the little crystals expressed their gratitude and affection, which Little Blue Crystal and Little Red Crystal enjoyed doing regularly.
"Wow!"
Many scattered objects fell in the air, settling on the sea surface, as the massive undead had utterly vanished into the atmosphere, leaving Ye Fan with a feeling of exhaustion and depletion.
"Ye Fan, are you okay?"
"Young master..."
"Fan..."
The few women from afar chased after, sensing Ye Fan's mental and physical fatigue.
"I'm fine." Ye Fan replied, "But now my original spiritual energy is somewhat exhausted, and I need to find a place to cultivate. Sang Yuan, escort us back to Huahai City on Earth first, and once I recover, we'll explore the Dead Sea again!"
Ye Fan did not dare to boast thereafter, so he planned to reestablish his strength before returning to the Dead Sea in Annam Domain. If he encountered those great sect cultivators from the Middle Ages, he feared he would be overwhelmed.
