<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5441</h2>


    David gritted his teeth and unleashed over a dozen consecutive attacks, his clothes soaked with sweat.


    He knew the disparity in strength between them was as vast as an insurmountable chasm; Lingxi was clearly toying with him.


    In a moment of desperation, he suddenly recalled the essence of space and time hidden within him—his most secret trump card.


    “Space fold!”


    David shouted softly, the space around him warping slightly, and Lingxi’s figure momentarily blurred in his vision.


    Seizing this fleeting opportunity, he shed a golden arc with his Dragon ying Sword, piercing Lingxi’s heart.


    But Lingxi simply flicked the tree branch with her fingertips, and a shimmer of azure light shot out, instantly shattering the distorted space. “The essence of space is impressive, but my control is so shallow.”


    Immediately, David activated the essence of time, attempting to slow Lingxi’s movements.


    The air around them stagnated noticeably, but Lingxi’s figure remained lithe. The branch, as if alive, precisely blocked the Dragon ying Sword. “The power of time depends on thews of nature. Forcing it will only backfire.”<fn8cb9> This text is hosted at Find?Novel</fn8cb9>


    Consuming his Origin Power continuously sent David’s blood surging. He knew conventional means would be impossible to defeat Lingxi.


    Seeing Lingxi’sposure, a mad thought arose within him—he’d take a gamble.


    David abruptly retreated, pouring his dragon bloodline, spiritual energy, and thest shred of Origin Power he could control into the Dragon ying Sword. The de emitted a sharp humming sound, and golden sword energy coalesced into a condensed dragon form, hurling itself towards Lingxi with devastating force.


    This strike nearly exhausted all his strength. Had it failed, he would have copsed from exhaustion, perhaps even damaging his Origin.


    A flicker of surprise shed in Lingxi’s eyes, and then she shook her head slightly. She swung the branch, and a cascade of azure spiritual light poured down, instantly shattering the dragon-shaped sword energy.


    The moment the sword energy dissipated, David, using the recoil, leaped towards Lingxi like a kite with its string cut. The remaining wisp of sword energy from the Dragon ying Sword shed towards her skirt. This


    move waspletely unpredictable, a sheer, desperate gamble. Lingxi was clearly unprepared for such a desperate move and was momentarily startled.


    By the time she realized what was happening, the golden sword energy had already grazed her sleeve. With a soft “swish,” a tiny scratch was left on her pale blue pce dress, and the thread fluttered in the wind.


    Lingxi looked down at the mark on her sleeve, then up at David, whoy exhausted and gasping for air. The amusement in her eyes faded, reced by a hint of recognition. “You’re quite courageous, after all.”


    Davidy on the ground, looking at the mark on Lingxi’s sleeve with a weak, yet satisfied smile. His gamble had paid off. “Yunxiu, gather three hundred golden-armored guards and prepare the flying warship,”


    Lingxi instructed Yunxiu behind her. Then, she walked over to David and, with a cyan spiritual light from her fingertips, infused him. “Recover your strength first. We’ll head to the Sixth Heaven now.”


    Half an hourter, in the square of the Divine King Pce, three hundred golden-armored guards, d in armor and holding spears, stood in neat formation before a massive golden warship. Lingxi, dressed in a cyan robe, stood at the bow. David stood beside her, watching the scene unfold with a surge of excitement.


    Lingxi raised her hand and waved it into the air. A surge of cyan spiritual energy surged out, tearing the space before them as easily as thin paper. A wide, bright passage appeared before them, and beyond it, a faint glimpse of the Sixth Heaven could be seen.


    There was no purple lightning sh ofws, no terrifying bacsh; everything seemed effortless and carefree. “Let’s go,” Lingxi said calmly, stepping into the passage first. David followed closely behind. The moment he stepped into the passage, he nced back in the direction of the Eighth Heaven, a mixture of emotions welling up in his heart.


    He’d fought tooth and nail to get through the barrier, enduring a near-death struggle and enduring the heartbreaking bacsh of the Heavenly Dao. Now, with a simple wave of his hand, Ling Xi could carve out a safe passage.
