However, Qin Yi's flattery seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.
The Cloud Swallowing Beast was startled and took a few steps back suddenly, then with a bang, it exploded.
"..."...
Qin Yi and the others exchanged puzzled glances.
"Are my words really that powerful?" Qin Yi was a bit confused.
However, in the next second, after the huge body of the Cloud Swallowing Beast exploded, it turned into thousands of small orbs, each about the size of a fist, looking like snowballs.
"Is it preparing for a snowball fight?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
These small orbs suddenly started shaking, emitting a sharp, harsh vibrating sound that was indescribable, somewhat like nails on a chalkboard or the sound of metal scraping, piercing through the eardrums, striking directly at the soul, causing a splitting headache and darkness in front of one's eyes.
"Ah..."
The first to endure were the three women of Zi Yuan, who clutched their ears tightly and screamed in agony.
Qin Yi, Mo Wuji, and Bai Jingqing all had their expressions change drastically.
These small orbs were just condensed fog, how could they make a sound?
But there was no time to think about that now, because Bai Jingqing couldn't hold on any longer either, clutching her ears in pain, her delicate body trembling.
"Brother Qin, this sound is unbearable," Mo Wuji let out a pained groan from his throat.
Qin Yi could also feel it, these sounds were like demonic whispers piercing his ears, attacking the soul, like needles stabbing his brain.
Qin Yi instinctively tried to block out the sound, but it was useless. He tried to use his energy to dispel the sound, but it was of no use either, and he too groaned in pain.
"Get out!" Qin Yi roared angrily, raising his hand to unleash a surge of purple light.
However, the purple light howled and disappeared into the dense fog, but those thousands of small orbs remained.
The attack was useless against them?
"Ah..."
The three women of Zi Yuan howled in pain, and Qin Yi glanced at them, his face turning pale as he saw blood oozing from their seven orifices.
Qin Yi let out a cold snort, unleashing a punch, his fist light sweeping out.
However, it was still useless.
Qin Yi reached out his hand and grabbed the Flood Dragon Spear, thrusting it out like lightning, piercing through dozens of small orbs in succession, like stringing candied hawthorns.
But the orbs showed no reaction, continuing to vibrate and emit deafening sharp sounds, making Qin Yi's head throb.
What on earth was going on?
Cultivation immunity.
Powerless immunity.
How was he supposed to deal with the Cloud Swallowing Beast?
"Ah!" Qin Yi painfully knocked on his head, if this continued, he would be driven insane by the noise.
"Whoosh!"
Flames erupted from Qin Yi's back as Fire Wings unfurled, the wings flapping and flames sweeping out.
But it failed again, these small orbs seemed like shadows, impervious to water and fire.
Qin Yi tried various methods, still unable to deal with these seemingly cute small orbs.
The three women of Zi Yuan had already collapsed on the ground in agony, bleeding from their mouths and noses.
Bai Jingqing and Mo Wuji were also in a wretched state, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
Qin Yi waved his hand, and waves of purple light enveloped the others, carrying them as a streak of light rushing forward.
They had to leave here quickly, or they would die in this place.
This damned Cloud Swallowing Beast was practically immune to all attacks, impossible to break.
However, no matter how fast he was, those small orbs always kept pace, continuously making piercing sounds around them.
Qin Yi's eyes flickered as he realized. As long as they remained in this fog, they couldn't escape the Cloud Swallowing Beast's attack.
What to do?
The three women of Zi Yuan were still spitting blood, their eyes losing focus.
If this continued, they would surely die.
Qin Yi soared into the sky with them, trying to escape from above.
But above was sealed by the eaves of a large mountain that resembled a hat.
There truly was no way out above or below.
"Awoo~"
Suddenly, the creature in Qin Yi's arms seemed to be angered by the sound from the small orbs, letting out a fierce little howl.
Then it jumped out from Qin Yi's arms, directly pouncing toward those small orbs, leaving Qin Yi stunned.
These small orbs were impervious to all attacks, but the creature bit and burst one of the orbs in a single bite. No, to be precise, it swallowed it, as if eating cotton candy.
The creature took one orb after another in a single bite, seemingly addicted.
Goodness, it was indeed a young Bai Ze, capable of handling what even he couldn't; the creature devoured orb after orb.
However, Qin Yi didn't relax, because there were too many small orbs, thousands upon thousands, and by the time the creature finished eating them all, Mo Wuji and the others might only find rest in this place.
Qin Yi spread his Divine Thought, trying to see if there was a hidden path nearby to escape.
Suddenly, Qin Yi's eyes focused as a thought struck him. When cultivating Divine Thought, Qin Mu had mentioned that it was a form of spiritual power, but more advanced than general spiritual power, and it could also launch attacks.
He had tried cultivation techniques, physical attacks, and even arrays, but none worked on the Cloud Swallowing Beast.
Could it be...these small orbs were forms of spiritual power? Or perhaps the Cloud Swallowing Beast itself was condensed spiritual power?
Regardless, it was worth a try.
Qin Yi began to attempt launching an attack using his Divine Thought.
However, his time cultivating Divine Thought was too short, making it genuinely difficult to launch a Divine Thought attack.
He tried forming the Divine Thought into a sword...and failed.
Into a knife...failed again.
He attempted spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, trying all kinds of weapons. Much of his Divine Thought was consumed in the process, but none were successful.
Divine Thought was a form of spiritual power, a consumable resource. It wasn't endless.
If large forms didn't work, he would try smaller ones. Qin Yi attempted to condense his Divine Thought into a needle.
Before long, a gleam appeared in Qin Yi's eyes...he succeeded.
Condensing Divine Thought into a needle, it shot out.
Qin Yi involuntarily clenched his fist. If even the Divine Thought couldn't deal with the Cloud Swallowing Beast, they were doomed.
"Bang bang...!"
A series of intense explosions reverberated in the air, as hundreds of needles formed from Divine Thought annihilated hundreds of small orbs.
Success!
Qin Yi was overjoyed, Divine Thought indeed worked.
"Bang bang...!"
The series of explosions continued without pause.
Qin Yi continuously condensed and cast out needles of Divine Thought to attack. Soon, the thousands of small orbs were all destroyed, and the piercing demonic noise ceased.
As for Mo Wuji and the others.
Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing, with their high cultivation, had only blood seeping from their noses and mouths. But the three women of Zi Yuan had already fallen unconscious.
"Old Mo, Little Bai Fairy, how are you feeling?"
Bai Jingqing spoke in pain, "Qin Yi, save the senior sisters first."
Qin Yi raised his hand to begin treating the three women of Zi Yuan while Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing attended to their own recovery.
After a long time, Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing recovered, and the three women of Zi Yuan were also healed by Qin Yi.
"Brother Qin, thank you!" Mo Wuji said with a bitter smile, "These things are too strange; I felt like my brains were boiling, almost vibrating apart."
"Thank you, Young Master Qin."
The three women of Zi Yuan expressed their gratitude, their faces still reflecting lingering fear.
"I owe you my life," Bai Jingqing said coolly.
"Don't thank me yet, let's get out of here quickly, this place is way too eerie," Qin Yi said, picking up the creature and leading the group forward.
