Forcing Me to Break Through Mid-Battle?

Evil souls and Fierce Ghosts rampaged through Panshan, while the Book Spirit controlling the formation outside was utterly shaken.

It had imagined many things—how, once the battle began, it would fall beneath its new master's heroic bearing and pass on the legacy of the Five Intent Condensing Heaven Art.

After all, for a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator like Li Tianwei to stir up such a colossal affair was no different from courting death.

Yet no matter how it imagined it, it had never expected the outcome to differ so greatly from its predictions!

The scene of Li Tianwei being suppressed never came to pass. Instead, Li Tianwei erupted with power beyond even its expectations and directly suppressed two Nascent Soul cultivators.

At that moment, the Book Spirit began to suspect that something must have happened to Li Tianwei during the time it had been asleep.

Could it be that he had truly altered the Three Thousand Condensing Heaven Intent into something even more formidable than the Five Intent Condensing Heaven Art? Could such a thing even be cultivated?

"Then can I still be considered an immortal art?"

The Book Spirit could not help thinking.

At this moment, the Book Spirit even began to doubt itself. "Scholar, this master seems rather extraordinary."

As Panshan City was thoroughly ravaged, Qin Yueying had already begun plotting something in the shadows.

After all, she possessed the strength of a peak Nascent Soul, a full two major realms above Li Tianwei.

Previously, she had not known whether Li Tianwei had some scheme behind him. Now, having used Elder Xie Ku and Yan Shan to probe many of Li Tianwei's methods, Qin Yueying had already thought of a way to deal with him.

Qin Yueying wanted to use this chance to seize Li Tianwei's body. That way, she would obtain a body possessing such terrifying strength.

That bizarre Golden Core, Divine Abilities, and all manner of Explosive Secret Methods.

With so many methods, Qin Yueying thought of one phrase: the bearing of an immortal.

"I had planned to run, but things are different now. You are digging your own grave."

Qin Yueying watched as Li Tianwei continued ravaging Panshan City, slaughtering the demonic cultivators within.

As an Evil Demon, this was precisely the sort of scene she most wished to see, because it presented an opportunity.

Very soon, Qin Yueying began setting things in motion in secret, gathering the faint traces of intent released after the massacre throughout Panshan City.

No matter how many demonic cultivators and living beings had died in Panshan City, she had used this to infiltrate Qin Yueying's body and seize the disciple of the Blood Nightmare Sect's master.

And now, without question, was an opportunity—an unprecedented opportunity.

Even if Li Tianwei used the Evil Soul Banner to summon away the Divine Souls of all the demonic cultivators, the emotions and thoughts they had already released would still remain between heaven and earth.

She planned to use those remnants to set up an Evil Demon formation that would exchange bodies with Li Tianwei.

Everything Li Tianwei had done now would become the grave he had dug for himself.

"Hahahaha..."

Qin Yueying laughed loudly. At the same time, she used the Evil Demon method of Tong Gensheng to secretly contact the Evil Demons still barely clinging to life in Panshan City and have them aid her.

Before long, Qin Yueying and those Evil Demons struggling at death's door had indeed constructed an invasive formation belonging to the Evil Demons. At this moment, it was the perfect convergence of timing, terrain, and people for them.

After all, the reason they could invade this world was because it was suited to their existence.

Just as Qin Yueying greedily prepared to make her move against Li Tianwei, a voice rang out in midair.

"Found you."

Three simple words, yet they were exceptionally cold.

Qin Yueying was startled and looked up into the air.

There stood Li Tianwei, holding a banner as black smoke rose from his entire body. Countless Evil Souls and Fierce Ghosts circled around him, while his gaze remained fixed tightly upon Qin Yueying.

"You found me faster than I expected. You really are a freak. You clearly only have Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation, yet neither your Divine Abilities nor that bizarre Golden Core are things someone at your level should possess."

Qin Yueying quickly calmed down.

"Quit yapping. Get into the banner!"

Li Tianwei could not be bothered to reason with Evil Demons and Outer Dao filth like this. Sending them on their way was what he ought to do.

With that, Li Tianwei directly swung the soul banner in his hand. The five Dao intents told him that after anger had slain Evil Resentment, the targets of the five Dao intents had become clear.

Qin Yueying had not expected Li Tianwei to act so decisively.

He opened with the five intents, then followed with Heavenly Absolute Yin Fiend and a Divine Ability. He was treating ultimate moves like ordinary attacks.

Seeing this, Qin Yueying could not help wondering whether his body was simply too monstrous.

"What exactly are you? You are using Divine Abilities at the Foundation Establishment Realm without being drained dry. Even we Evil Demons cannot do that."

This body of Qin Yueying's was ultimately at the peak Nascent Soul level. Facing such an assault, she hastily responded. Only upon clashing with it did she discover that the terrifying energy within was utterly beyond what Li Tianwei, at the Foundation Establishment Realm, should have been capable of wielding.

"What do you know? Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't. Besides, I already raised my realm with a secret method. I'm at Golden Core now. It's perfectly normal for a Golden Core to fight a Nascent Soul!"

Li Tianwei had not expected Qin Yueying to withstand his attack. He immediately revealed that black Golden Core, from which a faint aura of destruction emerged.

"Damn it."

Qin Yueying had not used her full strength either. She still needed to preserve energy and wait for an opportunity—an opportunity to corrode Li Tianwei before her.

As she watched the Golden Core crash toward her, Qin Yueying finally understood why Yan Shan and Elder Xie Ku had been defeated so quickly.

The energy contained within it was simply too strange, too terrifying.

Its energy was unceasing, its corrosive power bizarre. The destruction within ignited at the slightest touch; once it landed on the body, it nearly ignored the flesh and burrowed straight into the depths.

"No, I have to speed this up."

Qin Yueying unleashed her Nascent Soul Dharma Form and immediately collided with that Golden Core.

In an instant, ripples spread through the air, and the entire Panshan City shook several times.

Purple qi rose from Qin Yueying's body. Clearly, the impact had scattered her spiritual power somewhat, and she stared at Li Tianwei with eyes as venomous as poison.

Li Tianwei, on the other hand, felt nothing about it. After all, someone as powerful and intelligent as him often suffered the venomous stares of others. Jealousy and all that—he could only blame himself for being too strong.

"Go."

Li Tianwei directly threw out the soul banner in his hand. Black mist and dark qi surged across the sky.

The Evil Souls and Fierce Ghosts around Li Tianwei rushed toward Qin Yueying like a tidal wave, together with the Prison Heaven Divine Ability and that terrifying Golden Core of his.

Under the effects of the Fission Qi Gathering Method, and with the compatibility of the Demonic Sect Land, Li Tianwei's spiritual power was virtually inexhaustible.

An expenditure that could have drained who knew how many Foundation Establishment cultivators was quickly replenished by Li Tianwei, and he continued his assault.

Trapped within Prison Heaven, assailed by an endless stream of Evil Souls and Fierce Ghosts, and occasionally ambushed by the Golden Core, Qin Yueying felt utterly stifled.

"Bastard, just wait. You will die soon enough. Once I seize your body, I will whip you viciously."

Qin Yueying thought viciously as she continued calculating.

In Li Tianwei's eyes, he had finally encountered a troublesome opponent. After expending so many methods, he was merely keeping her suppressed.

"Looks like this is the only way. I'll have to break through in the middle of battle."

Li Tianwei thought this honestly.

Judging from Li Tianwei's confident words, it did not seem as though he was merely speaking casually. It seemed like he truly could do it.

For some reason, Qin Yueying instinctively felt that something was wrong, as though she was about to be finished.

"No, I can only act directly."

Qin Yueying looked at Li Tianwei. The vague fear in her heart and the premonition of death told her that Li Tianwei seemed to have another trump card waiting to be deployed. If she delayed any longer, she would certainly die.

"You forced me. Since that is the case, I will directly corrode your body."
