“Hiss, hiss—”

Those shattered bug generals were already like startled birds, launching attacks at the slightest disturbance, seeing enemies in every bush and tree.

While their king protected them, they, in turn, were desperately protecting their king!

Although these bug generals were also Transcendent creatures, they were not truly complete; at most, they could only be considered a part of the Nanluo Mother Nest, and thus lacked the normal Nanluo language system.

Mingxi swung the Qianshan Path in her hand, creating afterimages, just barely blocking the bug generals' attacks.

“Nanluo! I am Mingxi, the Beast Tamer of Thunder Demon Bird JoJo, whom you once protected!”

Yes.

Although Golden Yuanbao had never been given a formal name after its birth, its mother and Nanluo usually called it Little JoJo, because as a Cubs, it liked to add a ‘Jo’ sound to the end of its words.

Hearing Mingxi's words, the dying Nanluo's body trembled slightly, and it # Nоvеlight # struggled to open its eyes, seeing the girl's swift figure appear in its vision.

Thunder Demon Bird JoJo?

Ah.

It was that little fellow, that little fellow who once tried to protect it with its tiny body.

Had it been contracted by a human Beast Tamer?

That's great.

It's good that it's alright, it's really good that it's alright.

“...Nanluo.”

Nanluo used an extremely weak voice to comfort its nervous subjects; it didn't know if the girl appearing before it was telling the truth.

But it seemed to no longer have the strength to discern.

Little JoJo, should have grown up by now, right?

“Master, its vitality is about to drop out of the threshold, it should have already lost its five senses, unable to see or hear!” Guangguang had been monitoring Nanluo's life data all along.

Alright, alright, alright, time is life.

She no longer considered whether her current situation allowed her to contract a Saint-level collective Transcendent creature!

Just do it!

Mingxi decisively formed a seal, and the deep gray, significantly larger spherical Pet Space completed its spiritual virtualization.

“It really is a twelve-position Pet Space!”

The black-clad figures exclaimed.

The matter of Mingxi's transcendent awakening, and the unprecedented twelve-position spherical Pet Space she awakened, had already spread like wildfire across all planets and nations of the Alliance in a very short time.

Perhaps only the natives of remote barren planets were still unaware of this matter.

“There actually exists a Pet Space that exceeds the limits of cognition in this world!”

A twelve-sided contract position that broke through human imagination.

It was simply outrageous.

“What is she trying to do?” The black-clad leader frowned, his expression solemn.

Soon he knew what Mingxi wanted to do.

The girl reached into the spiritualized Pet Space, and a Soul Key, jade-like in texture but shaped like a long sword, was grasped in her hand.

“Spirit Contract! Rise!” Mingxi's voice, amidst the deafening explosions and the lamentations of the insect swarm, was like a sharp blade cutting through tangled ropes.

Ignoring the scorching heat of energy beams tearing through space as they brushed past her ears, ignoring the bone-chilling killing intent of the Dark Abyss Weaver, which clung like a maggot to a corpse.

The Sword Key plunged into the ground.

Buzz—

A sword cry, as if from ancient times, instantly overwhelmed all the clamor of the battlefield.

The Sword Key was no ordinary iron; it erupted with a blazing golden light like the core of the sun.

Countless profound and incomprehensible runes, like living golden tadpoles, spewed forth from the Sword Key's patterns, weaving and rotating around Mingxi.

Mingxi slid her right hand down, the sharp blade cutting her palm, and blood containing spiritual power flowed down the hilt, dotting the golden runes!

Boom!

The entire earth seemed to have a star dropped into it.

Centered on the Sword Key and Mingxi, an unimaginably vast magic circle, composed of pure golden energy, unfolded beneath her feet, extending towards the nearly lifeless Nanluo.

The magic circle's patterns were complex and profound, layered upon layer, as if engraving the trajectories of billions of stars and the genetic code of life's origin into the void!

It was also like an invisible thread, connecting the girl to Nanluo.

And at the moment this thread formed—

Golden light shot into the sky, seemingly tearing apart the gloomy air that perpetually hung over the Shadow Abyss!

Against the backdrop of the golden magic circle, a massive golden hole was forcibly punched through the dim sky.

Beyond the hole, the real, boundless cosmic star sea seemed clearly visible.

“What the hell is this?!”

The cold cloaked man suddenly cursed, his composure breaking unexpectedly.

In fact, at this moment, even Mingxi was dumbfounded.

This situation, how was it different from when she contracted Bright Crystal?

Moreover, she felt her spiritual power rapidly depleting, as if her entire spiritual sea was being emptied.

She made a mistake; she had encountered an insatiable little demon.

“Buzz—”

Ever since the Origin of Life and Destruction entered her spiritual sea, it had basically shown no further movement.

Just like many of those pillars in a household who are still alive but act as if they are dead.

But this time, the Origin of Life and Destruction actually moved.

An endless stream of energy poured out, replenishing her spiritual power that was gushing out like a floodgate.

“Boom—”

The radiance of the cosmic stars was stirred by the magic circle, transforming into massive silver starlight beams.

Like the Milky Way pouring down, they actually flowed into the magic circle.

The power of the magic circle locked onto Mingxi and the dying Nanluo, and the pure golden light of the contract formed a giant pillar of light.

Ignoring the spatial distance, ignoring the surrounding chaotic magnetic field interference, like a spear of salvation cast by a deity, it pierced down with extreme precision, using the Sword Key as a fulcrum, firmly connecting Mingxi and Nanluo!

Seeing everything go smoothly, the energy bridge was rapidly being constructed.

Just then—

A dark slash descended upon the center of the magic circle, cracking the earth and causing rocks to rise like sword-shaped bamboo shoots.

It was the Dark Abyss Weaver that attacked!

And Golden Yuanbao, who was supposed to be restraining the Dark Abyss Weaver, was dragged into the Void Desire Butterfly's exclusive domain, the Void of Desire, by a sneak attack!

The towering pillar of light seemed to have its lifeline severed, and its radiance rapidly dimmed.

“Not good!” Mingxi's body tensed, and her heart skipped several beats.

“Nanluo!”

The vitality of Nanluo, forcibly awakened by the power of the contract, dimmed once more.

The contract magic circle shattered, causing the energy bridge that was being constructed to totter.

Its already fragile body suffered another heavy blow, and the pain from its life origin let out a cry and a roar.

The few remaining shell fragments on its body trembled violently, and the adhering cracks burst open into larger gaps.

The violent backlash energy, like an uncontrolled torrent, surged up the golden contract light pillar and slammed into Mingxi's spiritual sea!

“Pfft!”

She was struck as if by lightning, her face instantly turning as pale as gold paper, and dazzling blood seeped from all seven orifices simultaneously.

She felt as if her brain was being simultaneously pierced by countless red-hot steel needles, and as if it had been thrown to the event horizon of a black hole, being violently torn apart by chaotic energy.

The golden magic circle beneath her feet swayed violently, and even the light pillar it invoked showed signs of instability.

“Zhen Gua!”

Mingxi's tragic appearance was reflected in the deep single eye, and Bright Crystal suddenly let out a heaven-shaking roar, a light suddenly illuminating its small body...
