Chapter 2247: Youdie's Death

As time passed, at the core of the ruins, Youdie was concentrating on refining the colorful core. Unfortunately, due to the gap in cultivation between her and Jiuying, the progress was extremely slow.

After a few days, she suddenly opened her eyes: "Brother Ye, I need Dao bones!"

It has only been a few days, and although refining the Colorful Aura has consumed her energy, it is not a big burden. However, judging by the current progress, if she does not replenish her own energy consumption in advance, there is no way she will be able to refine it successfully.

Once the power of Tao is exhausted during the refining process, all the work done before will be in vain, and you will have to start all over again, wasting time and energy.

Therefore, it must be replenished in time, so that there is a possibility of successful refining.

She was extremely grateful that Lu Ye had the foresight to allow her to allocate a batch of Taoist bones to bring into the ruins, otherwise there would be some trouble now.

Lu Ye quickly took out some Taoist bones and placed them next to her.

Youdie is at the peak of the Dao Fusion Realm, so her efficiency in refining Dao Bones is quite good. Even though she is only a soul body at the moment, the Insect Mother mainly cultivates the power of the soul. It is not difficult for her to separate a part of her spiritual thoughts to refine Dao Bones at this moment.

While replenishing herself, she continued to refine the colorful core.

Lu Ye has been paying attention to the progress of refining, which is easy to detect because of the life chain. He can clearly feel the degree of infection of the ghost butterfly's soul power.

Half a month later, the refining progress was about 30%, and as the refining progress increased, the refining speed of the ghost butterfly was also obviously increasing.

According to the situation, perhaps it would only take another half a month to successfully refine the Ghost Butterfly. By then, with the core in hand, controlling the Colorful would be a piece of cake.

Beneath Youdie's calm appearance, she was suppressing her excitement and anticipation.

Lu Ye was also waiting.

Things here are going according to his plan. He and Jiuying have deduced this many times. If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After a few more days, the refining progress of the ghost butterfly finally reached halfway.

This seems to be a key point because Lu Ye clearly noticed that as this progress was achieved, the efficiency of Youdie refining the colorful core suddenly increased a lot.

This made both him and Youdie look happy.

However, just a moment later, Lu Ye's brows frowned and Youdie's expression became flustered.

Something is... not right!
The efficiency of refining the core has been increasing, and along with it comes the crazy consumption of Youdie's spiritual power.

Before, Youdie could replenish its own consumption by refining Dao bones and barely maintain a balance, but as the refining efficiency continued to improve, this balance was broken.

No matter how she refined her Dao bones, it could not keep up with the rate of consumption, and her Dao power rapidly decreased.

"Brother Ye!" Youdie's expression suddenly became a little flustered, because she found that it was not her who was refining the colorful core at this moment, but the colorful core that was madly devouring her Taoist power!
It was as if the colorful core was refining her in turn.

If she had enough Dao power reserves, Youdie would not worry about anything. As long as she could completely refine this core before the Dao power was completely consumed, she could become the master of Banlan.

But she only needed to make a quick estimate to know that her remaining Dao power could not withstand such consumption, and her Dao power would be exhausted before it could be successfully refined.

She had no idea what would happen then.

Perhaps...even his own soul would be devoured!
In such a crisis, she would of course interrupt the refining process. Although it would waste some time and spiritual power, compared to her own safety, this choice was undoubtedly appropriate.

But I can't stop now.

At this moment, she seemed to have an extremely close connection with the colorful core, a connection that could not be severed.

Is Lu Ye harming himself?

This thought immediately popped up in Youdie's mind, but after she shouted that sentence, she looked at Lu Ye's expression and found that his expression was also extremely surprised.

He didn't mean it! He probably didn't expect this to happen.

Under the life chain, Lu Ye certainly couldn't deal with Youdie in this way. If she really encountered an accident, he would not be able to escape well.

"Jiuying!" Lu Ye immediately called Jiuying.

"here I am."

"What's going on?" Lu Ye asked.

"Don't panic, my friend. This is a normal situation. With my help, I can help this insect mother refine her core easily, saving a lot of trouble. Now all you have to do is wait!"

"Youdie's dao power is not enough to support this refining!"

"Don't worry, my friend. I won't do anything to her. I promise that the refining will go smoothly this time. By then, she will have worked hard to refine the core and made wedding clothes for you. Isn't it wonderful? You just need to wait... You and I have sworn in the name of Xingyuan's will. Don't you still believe me?"

There is something wrong with Jiuying!
This old monster, who has lived for who knows how many years, may appear docile and cooperative on the surface even if it is forced by the situation, but who knows what conspiracy it is planning behind the scenes.

Lu Ye never let his guard down against it, but despite all his precautions, he still failed to defend against it. Of course, it was also because of his greed. He had only just entered the Dao realm when he set his eyes on Banlan's core, which gave Jiuying the opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Of course I believe you!" Lu Ye sealed the Divine Sea as he spoke.

He roughly knew what Jiuying was planning.

It's a pity that its calculation was wrong. At this moment, Lu Ye was extremely grateful that he had asked Youdie to allocate a batch of Taoist bones as backup. If it weren't for this batch of Taoist bones, he would probably have suffered a big setback this time!

The allocation of Taoist bones was motivated by selfish motives, because if Youdie did not need them, these Taoist bones would be his. He never thought that they could be of great help at this time.

"Brother Ye, I have a bad feeling!" Youdie said slowly, "I'm afraid I can't escape this disaster."

Rong Dao Peak's perception of life and death is extremely sharp. Although it is not a life-and-death moment yet, she can sense that she is afraid of dying here today!
Most of her Dao power has been used up, but the progress of the core refining is not optimistic. At this moment, the core is continuously devouring her power. Once the Dao power is exhausted, her soul and body will probably be devoured!
"Remove the life chains!" Youdie looked at Lu Ye seriously.

Lu Ye was stunned.

He really didn't expect that Youdie would say such words at such a moment. He could feel that Youdie was not hypocritical at all and really wanted to break the life chain with him because she didn't want her death to implicate Lu Ye.

What happened...

He was abducted by Li Qi. Youdie's original plan was to use the secret technique of the Divine Source Fantasy Sea to investigate Lu Ye's secret, but Lu Ye took the opportunity to form a life chain with him. Sharing life and death, they were wary of each other and neither could do anything to the other.

He had intended to escape from the insect nest and didn't want to stay with the ghost butterfly, but was forced back in the end.

Even though Youdie has always been very enthusiastic towards him and called him affectionately, Lu Ye believed that she would definitely kill him if given the chance.

So he didn't know what exactly prompted Youdie to make this decision.

Are the words of a dying man good?

"No need!" Lu Ye took out all the remaining Taoist bones while speaking and spread them around himself. His plan had not yet begun, so how could he possibly remove the life chains?

Youdie gritted her teeth: "Lu Ye!"

She rarely called Lu Ye's name directly like this, and her expression was more serious than ever: "I can feel that this is a fatal disaster. Do you want to die with me?"

At this moment, she no longer took the initiative to refine the core, but as the core absorbed her power, the progress of refining was increasing rapidly.

But she couldn't get out of this situation.

"What's the point of you taking out the Dao Bone? My refining efficiency is not that high, and I can't replenish my own consumption. I can only linger on. Whether you do it intentionally or not, I can't avoid this disaster today. Since I was born, I have never been so close to any living being. I admit that I have been trying to remove the life chain, and then torture you and control you, but unfortunately I have no clue. Before I change my mind, quickly remove the life chain."

"Shut up!" Lu Ye was too lazy to pay attention to her. Under the power of the talent tree, invisible roots spread out, penetrated into those pieces of Taoist bones, and devoured them madly.

Visibly to the naked eye, the golden light in the Taoist bone began to dim.

"What's the point of doing this?" Youdie looked at him angrily, "I can share the results of refining Dao bones with you, but you can't share them with me..."

She had witnessed Lu Ye's efficiency in refining Dao Bone in the insect nest before. Although she didn't know how Lu Ye did it, his refining speed was indeed terrifying.

But it doesn't make sense after all.

"Who said we can't share the profits?" Lu Ye glanced at her indifferently.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at her forehead: "Relax!"

The next moment, the power of Tao surged, and dense lines appeared on Youdie's soul body.

Not only her, but Lu Ye as well.

With a whoosh, Youdie felt something behind her stretching out. She tilted her head and saw an illusory wing flash by on her right shoulder blade, then turned into a fluorescent light and disappeared.

At the same time, the same scene appeared behind Lu Ye!

"This is..." Youdie was shocked.

Originally, under the influence of the life chain, the connection between her and Lu Ye was very close, and now it seemed that there was another layer of connection!
It was a very strange feeling, as if Lu Ye and I had really become one.

Lu Ye grabbed her hand.

Youdie's eyes widened immediately, because from Lu Ye, there was a constant flow of Taoist power injected into her soul. The Taoist power gathered like a torrent, so huge that it quickly replenished her consumption.

There is not much Dao force left in the body, like a dried-up river, and it is still being consumed madly. But after getting this supplement, I can't say how much it can be improved, but at least it is no longer consumed.

What the colorful core swallowed was the Taoist power transmitted by Lu Ye!

"This... what is this?" Youdie was shocked. She thought she would die this time, but suddenly there was light at the end of the tunnel. The ups and downs of her mood between life and death were so great that even she, who was at the peak of the Rong Dao, would be moved.
