Xiang Beifei originally intended to cut in from the left side, but he was blocked by the powerful black Ghost Whiskers. The black Ghost Whiskers, more formidable than their original form, seemed even more impenetrable. Suddenly releasing a burst of power, they sent Xiang Beifei flying backward.
Xiang Beifei retracted the Candle Dragon Eye, as he too needed to rely on perception to adjust his direction.
However, as soon as dawn broke, the Flaming Six Wings discovered that Xiang Beifei had retreated to the banks of the black river. He immediately seized the opportunity, directing the rolling waters of the Yellow Springs towards Xiang Beifei with a thunderous roar!
"Die for me!" Flaming Six Wings roared!
The bone of malevolence within the Yellow Springs water flashed out once more, instantly striking Xiang Beifei. Unable to withstand the blow, Xiang Beifei was sent flying out, over the riverbank, and already retreating above the black river!
Flaming Six Wings and Xuwang felt immensely relieved watching Xiang Beifei. Fighting him had become utterly frustrating; they now only wanted to kill Xiang Beifei, caring little about the Dao embryo.
And now Xiang Beifei, being knocked towards the black river, faced only one consequence! That was being pulled and dragged into the black river by its mysterious devouring force!
One meter, two meters, three meters... ten meters... fifteen meters... twenty meters...
Xiang Beifei was sent flying a full thirty meters before coming to a stop.
Yet quickly, both Flaming Six Wings and Xuwang's pupils shrank!
Because the imagined scene of Xiang Beifei falling into the water did not occur; he was actually floating in the air, standing on the water surface!
The black river, which could engulf Heavenly Connection experts, had no effect on Xiang Beifei!
"How is this possible?"
Xuwang and Flaming Six Wings were utterly shocked!
They had already witnessed the power of the black river; it was the very obstacle preventing them from reaching Bone Mountain's Desert Stone Cave. They had tried various methods, using spiritual powers or people, even a small stone; anything leaving the riverbank for over three meters would be dragged into the water without even a splash.
Yet, the terrifying tearing force was ineffective against Xiang Beifei!
"You actually have a way to stand on the river?" Xuwang was shocked beyond belief.
"How could this be done?" Flaming Six Wings was equally astonished.
"Spiritual sincerity!" Xiang Beifei said seriously, "Only with a heart of light and honest intention can one stand on the black river."
"Sincerity?" Xuwang and Flaming Six Wings exchanged bewildered looks.
"That's right, one must have reverence for the divine, accept its test sincerely, be tolerant, loving, generous, and hold the world in one's heart to gain divine approval."
Xiang Beifei spoke with earnestness.
Why does this sound so familiar?
Xuwang felt as though he'd heard these words in a place devoted to divinity.
Meanwhile, Flaming Six Wings flushed with anger and shame, shouted: "Bewitching nonsense! I'm not buying your deceit!"
"Oh? You think I'm deceiving?" Xiang Beifei asked curiously.
Flaming Six Wings was so furious that he almost scorched his flesh wings with anger!
Xuwang glanced at Flaming Six Wings and quickly caught on, his expression turning peculiar. The words Xiang Beifei spoke—were once slogans Flaming Six Wings used to attract followers!
The notions of light, love, tolerance, and generosity... these were the noble virtues Flaming Six Wings, as the Divine Envoy of Light, promoted!
Who would have thought Xiang Beifei would repeat Flaming Six Wings' words!
"You dare play us for fools!" Flaming Six Wings shouted angrily.
"Strange, the one promoting a big-hearted, loving character thinks I'm lying? I thought the Moon God Race was pure!" Xiang Beifei shrugged.
Flaming Six Wings clenched his fists, feeling openly insulted.
Xuwang suddenly remembered something and whispered: "Don't let him mislead us; maybe the black river's power has failed!"
Flaming Six Wings realized this too, but they remained extremely cautious, not daring to rush over directly. Flaming Six Wings looked down, found a stone, and kicked it!
The stone made a sharp sound as it flew through the air towards Xiang Beifei!
The stone flew tens of meters away, Xiang Beifei tilted his body, dodging the stone.
"The stone can reach his location!"
Xuwang and Flaming Six Wings were invigorated!
For safety, Xuwang extended an untouched tentacle from his back, reaching swiftly towards Xiang Beifei!
This tentacle was merely a probe; if dragged into the black river, he would immediately sever it for safety.
The tentacle quickly extended tens of meters, coiling towards Xiang Beifei, once again dodged by Xiang Beifei.
But whether it could hit Xiang Beifei was not crucial; the crucial point was that his tentacle could reach Xiang Beifei's location!
"The black river's power really has failed!" Xuwang said excitedly.
If the black river failed, it meant access to Bone Mountain's Desert Stone Cave was possible!
Flaming Six Wings' face twisted into a sinister smile: "Wretched human, did you really think we were fools? So magnanimous! Turns out it's the black river's failure; your deception won't be so easy now!"
Flaming Six Wings and Xuwang both immediately leaped into the sky, jumping from the black river's banks towards Xiang Beifei at the center of the river, cautiously swinging a few spiritual powers at Xiang Beifei.
Even the spiritual powers weren't absorbed by the black river, providing complete peace of mind this time!
