Yuan Ming's heart sank as he realized his secret had been exposed, but he did not panic.

After years of experience, his strength was no longer weak, and with the World Giant Tree soon in his hands, as long as he didn't face a Mahayana cultivator, he was confident he could keep the Stealing Heaven Tripod.

With this thought, Yuan Ming steadied his mind and continued to manipulate the transfer of the World Giant Tree.

At this moment, Su Wu seemed completely immersed in the joy of obtaining the Stealing Heaven Tripod, ignoring Yuan Ming's actions.

He flipped his right palm, and a round elixir appeared, which he swallowed without hesitation.

The elixir entered his stomach, and his body once again became full, his aura increasing, even stronger than before.

The shadow on his face disappeared, replaced by excitement and anticipation.

At this moment, his eyes were only on the Stealing Heaven Tripod, ignoring everything else.

"This move was supposed to be my trump card for someone else. But for the Stealing Heaven Tripod, it's worth showing it now. You should feel honored!" Su Wu laughed loudly, his sleeves fluttering without wind, and a formidable aura surged forth.

As his laughter subsided, a large mass of Heavenly Cicada Black Qi gushed from him, forming into a thick darkness.

Within this darkness, a black celestial cicada with three pairs of wings slowly emerged.

This creature had a hideous face, filled with slender sharp spikes in its mouth, and its dark eyes seemed like bottomless voids, brimming with endless greed, as though it wanted to devour everything in the world.

"Senior Kong, is this Su Wu's Dharma Form? Can the Stealing Heaven Tripod hold it back?" Yuan Ming felt the powerful pressure emanating from the black celestial cicada's shadow, and his heart tensed. He quickly transmitted his inquiry.

Before Senior Kong could reply, Xi Ying already stood up saying: "Just focus on collecting the World Giant Tree. I will block this strike for you. Open a passage in the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space!"

Her voice was calm and firm, an invisible aura emanating from her, forming a sharp contrast with Su Wu's Heavenly Cicada Dharma Form.

Yuan Ming was surprised by Xi Ying's proactive challenge, but there was no time to ponder. Instinctively, he transmitted his inquiry to Senior Kong. It wasn't that he didn't trust Xi Ying, but Su Wu's strength was almost on par with a Mahayana existence, truly not something Xi Ying could handle.

"This aura... trust Miss Xi." Senior Kong's tone carried a hint of surprise.

Yuan Ming's eyes shifted, and he secretly activated the Stealing Heaven Tripod. Before Xi Ying, the space distorted and suddenly revealed a passage leading to the outside world.

Xi Ying's figure moved, gliding into the passage like a swift swallow, reaching the cave's exterior in an instant.

The spiritual energy from outside surged in like a tide, and the endless Desire Power within the Stealing Heaven Tripod erupted, swirling around Xi Ying, like a brilliant star river flowing incessantly.

The Desire Power contained the purest faith and hope between heaven and earth, gathering into a powerful force.

Seeing Xi Ying's display, a trace of astonishment and confusion flashed in Su Wu's eyes.

His spell did not stop, and the giant celestial cicada's shadow gradually solidified, its wings poised to fly, carrying a bizarre and powerful aura directly towards Yuan Ming and Xi Ying.

A mountain-crushing pressure descended from above, mixed with the Power of Dao, even the World Giant Tree could not withstand it, easily penetrating within.

In an instant, Yuan Ming felt numb all over, his mana, Qi-blood, and even soul power pulled by this strange aura, as if wanting to burst out of his body.

In this critical moment, Xi Ying slowly spoke, her voice soft, as though murmuring to herself: "Greedy and filthy bloodthirsty worm, this is not a place for you to run wild, leave quickly!"

As her words fell, the once noisy sound in the cave instantly vanished, leaving only Xi Ying's gentle and firm voice echoing.

That voice grew louder, like a giant bell tolling, shaking the entire underground cave.

At the same time, the Desire Power around Xi Ying ignited, transforming into a fiery sea.

An irresistible force descended in the cave, stopping the colossal celestial cicada's shadow in its tracks.

"Is this... speak and follow?"

Yuan Ming stared in shock at the scene, a surge of indescribable astonishment welling up inside him.

He had heard of the Life Witch's power, but never witnessed such an astonishing sight.

Su Wu seemed to realize something, a look of fear appearing in his eyes.

In mid-air, Xi Ying's expression remained calm, her hands rising slowly as she softly uttered: "May the magic of the Human Clan here not harm them, may no disasters hurt them!"

As her voice fell, Yuan Ming felt his body lighten, his mana and soul power, once suppressed by Su Wu's Spiritual Domain, instantly restored.

Overjoyed, he quickened his pace to transfer the World Giant Tree into the Shura Palace.

Meanwhile, Xi Ying's voice continued to reverberate in the cave: "May all evil spirits here face endless tribulations!"

As soon as her words ended, Su Wu let out a muffled groan, spitting a mouthful of black blood, his aura rapidly declining.

His Sky Cicada Spirit Domain emitted a loud bang, shattering into pieces instantly, and the gigantic celestial cicada Dharma Form collapsed, dissipating into countless black qi in the air.

"Great Wish of All Beings!"

Su Wu cried out in horror. At this moment, he couldn't care less about his injuries and turned to flee into the distance.

Yuan Ming was also shaken when he heard Su Wu's terrified scream.

Ever since he knew that the Divine Skills on the Creation Heaven List could help him comprehend the True Meaning of Dao, he had studied the skills on the list in detail.

Among them, the Great Wish of All Beings was included and ranked second, even above the Five Elements Dao Fruit. It was unexpected that Xi Ying would be able to—

While Yuan Ming was in shock, Xi Ying spoke again, "May the bloodthirsty and murderous perish, body and soul!"

As her words fell, Su Wu's body, fleeing in the distance, suddenly exploded, turning into a rain of blood, and his presence completely vanished.

Staring blankly at the spot where Su Wu disappeared, Yuan Ming was dumbfounded.

He never imagined that such a powerful existence as Su Wu would fall after enduring only three attacks from the Great Wish of All Beings.

At this moment, Xi Ying's body suddenly trembled, and blood flowed from her seven apertures.

Her aura plummeted rapidly, and she fell directly from mid-air.

Yuan Ming was shocked, disregarding the state of the Sea of Consciousness insect eggs, and hurriedly flew forward to catch Xi Ying in his arms.

At this moment, Xi Ying's aura was extremely weak, her Divine Soul was declining, and she couldn't even maintain her consciousness, completely slipping into a coma.

Yuan Ming quickly took out two healing pills and made Xi Ying swallow them.

After the Undying Tree transformed into the World Tree, the originally healing Undying Demon Qi had disappeared, so he could only circulate his mana to assist in refining the elixirs and activate several healing talismans.

After a period of busy effort, Xi Ying's condition barely stabilized, but she did not wake up.

Yuan Ming was still full of worries in his heart, pondering whether there were other methods to heal her when suddenly the ancient and calm voice of Senior Kong came to his ears:

"Boy, you don't need to worry too much. Her condition has stabilized a lot; it's only due to excessive exhaustion of soul power that her Divine Soul fell silent. You've already healed her physical injuries, just let her rest peacefully for a time, and she will naturally awaken."

Only then did Yuan Ming feel a bit relieved, and he urgently asked, "Senior Kong, was what Xi Ying used just now the legendary Great Wish of All Beings?"

"Indeed, it is this Divine Skill. It ranks second on the Creation Heaven List, and I don't know where Miss Xi learned it from. What's even more commendable is that she could comprehend such a skill just after entering the Realm of Life Witch. She truly is a prodigy." Senior Kong praised.

"Will this Divine Skill cause her any irreversible damage?" Yuan Ming didn't care about the source of the skill; his mind was solely concerned with Xi Ying's safety.

Senior Kong pondered for a moment and slowly said, "In general, using the Great Wish of All Beings with Miss Xi's cultivation at the initial stage of a Life Witch does place a heavy burden. But before she acted, I used the Desire Power from the Stealing Heaven Tripod to assist her, so her injuries are not too severe and haven't reached the roots. Rest assured, she will be fine."

Hearing this, Yuan Ming finally felt a great weight lifted from his heart, exhaling a long breath.

He remained silent for a moment, filled with self-recrimination.

The events of today were all due to his lack of strength; otherwise, Xi Ying wouldn't have had to take such a great risk.

"Boy, treasure Miss Xi well. In this world, willing to do this much for you, now, there's only her left." Senior Kong's voice carried a touch of emotion.

Yuan Ming slowly nodded, his gaze towards Xi Ying full of tenderness.

"Alright, now that Su Wu's form has been completely scattered by the Great Wish of All Beings, quickly move the World Tree. Don't let down her intentions." Senior Kong reminded.

"Scattered form? Does that mean Su Wu hasn't truly fallen?" Yuan Ming asked in astonishment.

"Su Wu's true form is the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada, which has a survival ability even greater than your Undying Body. Although Xi Ying's Great Wish of All Beings is powerful, she's just started learning it, and her skills are not yet mature, so she couldn't completely annihilate Su Wu." Senior Kong shook his head, explaining.

"Since Su Wu's form has been shattered, can't we take this opportunity to eradicate him completely?" A flash of cold light appeared in Yuan Ming's eyes as he pursued the question.

"Impossible. After Su Wu's form collapsed, he utilized the parasitic ability of the Six-winged Heavenly Cicada to merge into the Three Realms Immortal Boat. Unless you can completely destroy the Three Realms Immortal Boat, it's not possible to completely kill Su Wu." Senior Kong sighed.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming's gaze shifted to where Su Wu's body had collapsed, seeing only emptiness without a trace of blood, knowing Senior Kong spoke the truth.

He scanned his surroundings again, searching for the Black Sword, but unfortunately, the sword was nowhere to be seen.

"Not only that. After being parasitized by Su Wu, the Three Realms Immortal Boat is now completely under his control. Do not attempt to seize it; leaving this place promptly is wise." Senior Kong's voice sounded again.

Yuan Ming nodded and carefully placed Xi Ying into the Shura Palace, dedicating an area for her to recuperate.

Then he continued his efforts to relocate the World Giant Tree.

Without the suppression of Su Wu's Spiritual Domain, Yuan Ming's speed in relocating the World Giant Tree increased severalfold.

Soon, he transferred more than ninety percent of the World Giant Tree into the Shura Palace.
