Fist Light Pierced the Night

Some exclaimed in surprise, "He actually said that True Immortal would be the best? Jing Zhi is neither Feathered Immortal nor one of those ' Savage Immortal ' on the surface who only know how to throw punches and win purely through physical strength. Jade Capital Demon is truly brave!"

In the eyes of outsiders, the True Immortal among the Natives lack magical techniques and other means of combat, and their fighting methods are too simple and crude. Therefore, when faced with challenges from those of lower status, they are unlikely to achieve a crushing victory and may be defeated.

The situation is completely different now. Jing Zhi is a true Great Sage, and she comes from Supreme Dao Field. Without changing her life form, she has stepped into the Seventh Realm, and her combat power is destined to be extremely terrifying.

The Jade Capital Demon actually wants to attack his superiors from below; isn't he just handing himself a dangerous situation?

"What is Jing Zhi's exact cultivation level?" Duan Yin, the former youngest Great Sage Duan Yin, asked. What if that Woman in Yellow was several levels higher than Zheng Guang? That would be truly wonderful!

He hoped to see a crushing defeat, with the True Immortal crushing the Ancestor, so that he could also vent his anger through someone else's actions.

Her sworn brother Yan Chuan, responded, "Someone previously used their Heavenly Eye to spy on Jing Zhi; she should not have yet reached the mid-stage of True Immortal."

Duan Yin frowned and said, "Could it be that he just broke through to the Seventh Realm? If so, it's very risky."

In the past, he had fought against the Great Sage Zheng Guang several times and had been defeated, leaving him with indelible psychological trauma.

Beside him, his sworn brother Xu Yuan spoke up, "If they are within the same Major Realm and differ by only one or two levels, it's indeed difficult to predict who will win. But the situation is different now; there's Major Realm barrier between them, making it very difficult to challenge someone of a higher realm."

A Great Sage from the deeper parts of the Night Mist World spoke up, "The wondrous methods of the Seventh Realm are far superior to those of the Sixth Realm. Even though the Jade Capital Demon is only one step away from achieving it, he still cannot fully transform until he steps into the Seventh Realm. This challenge is a bit too reckless."

Duan Yin naturally hoped that Zheng Guang would not suffer hardship but would deliberately suffer a big setback.

"He's different." However, at the very end Duan Yin uttered these four words.

Yan Chuan was stunned. What kind of "attribute" was his fourth brother? Was this a sequela of being abused? Why did he seem to be fawning over his old rival?

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan took several steps back, goosebumps rising all over his body. He felt that his fourth brother's tone was really off.

He lowered his voice and said, "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? If you were saying this to a female Great Sage, I could understand—"

Duan Yin's neck veins bulged, his face flushed, his emotions were turbulent, and his anger surged fiercely. No one wanted Zheng Guang to suffer a crushing defeat more than him.

In the void, Jing Zhi walked step by step.

She was tall and slender, dressed in yellow, with flowing black hair and a fair complexion that was indeed very beautiful, but her eyes and brows carried Sha Qi.

In a flash, she entered the Blood Moon Battle Platform.

Being challenged on her home turf, Jing Zhi was naturally very dissatisfied.

She admitted that the young man before her was no ordinary person, but for someone at the Sixth Realm to dare to challenge a True Immortal like her was simply too disrespectful.

Jing Zhi's face was icy cold as she said, "I treat you as an honored guest, yet you dare to challenge me to my face. Where does that leave my dignity?"

Many people showed surprise upon hearing this.

Overall, they had a good impression of their local hosts, who were friendly and courteous, serving them Enlightenment Tea.

Qin Ming, high in the night sky, his wide sleeves gathering a gentle breeze, calmly spoke, "Fairy Jing, I merely practiced a fragment of the ' Myriad Aperture Illumination Art,' yet you summoned the people of Perching-Star Cliff to deal with me. Is this how you treat your honored guest?"

Jing Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly. Who exactly leaked the secret to this person?

She thought of Xie Linzhou, who had been forced to kneel in mid-air with his head held down, and also of several companions who knew the inside story, such as Xiao Zongbai and Yun Qingrao. She was certain that she had been betrayed by someone she knew.

Immediately, many people looked at her strangely. This Fairy Jing had an elegant demeanor and outstanding appearance, but her behavior was truly unkind.

As the Great Sage, there was no need for him to say much; he could simply go down to the battlefield and fight.

But Jing Zhi insisted on "being both right and wrong," and Qin Ming naturally didn't mind revealing it directly.

Zhou Tian spoke up, "Fairy Jing, what do you mean by this? You say one thing to my face and another behind my back, needlessly making enemies for my sixth brother."

Si Yeli also spoke up, "Fairy Jing, you said you consider Qin Ming a distinguished guest, is this how you're treating him? We are also distinguished guests as you mentioned, I wonder if there will be any special arrangements?"

Mu Shinian swiftly unfurled his folding fan and said, "No way, there's going to be someone else targeting us soon? Everyone, quickly adjust your breathing and prepare to face the Great Sage level challenge."

Being exposed in public like this is already undignified, and for them to continue this charade without giving him any face at all is unacceptable.

Jing Zhi's fair face instantly turned icy, and she felt extremely embarrassed.

She spoke coldly, "It's just a duel; Say More are pointless."

Qin Ming smiled and said, "I'm usually a man of few words, and if it weren't for Fairy Jing on finding fault, I wouldn't Say More. The atmosphere of our discussion was quite good not long ago, so let's continue it now. There's no need for a bloody battle; let's just have a simple exchange and learn from each other's strengths."

Niu Wuwei secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Holy moo! Dao Ancestor above, why do I suddenly feel that Old Six has also inexplicably taken on a hint of tea flavor?"

Si Yeli said, "That's because she was overwhelmed by Jing Zhi's tea scent and was forced to bring things up."

Jing Zhi's cold expression vanished, and she said in a deep voice, "Let me see just how amazing and brilliant Sixth Realm prodigy is, to be so..."

Overflowing with confidence, they're determined to defy us True Immortal.

Qin Ming's expression was solemn as he said, "Fairy Jing, this is just a simple sparring match between us. Don't make a big deal out of it, and don't involve the All Immortals. You are just yourself."

Jing Zhi gritted her teeth inwardly, not wanting to say anything more, and pressed forward directly.

She exuded the aura of True Immortal, striding through the void, leaving behind footprints that were all surrounded by firelight and interwoven with mysterious Dao Patterns.

Qin Ming's eyes were deep as he stared ahead. Was this woman going to use these footprints later, or was she deliberately creating a diversion to distract him?

He raised his right fist and, with simple, brutal force, slammed it forward.

Regardless of whether his opponent was planning a meticulous strategy or deliberately trying to mislead him, Qin Ming directly overcame all obstacles with sheer force. His fist light tore through the Sky Curtain, vast and mighty, like a surging Jiang Hai.

The entire world was exploding with noise; the night fog burst open, and blinding light filled the air.

The light from the fist was dazzling, like endless Thunderfire connecting the sky and the earth, omnipresent!

Jing Zhi wore a faint smile on her face, and her reaction was somewhat unexpected by Qin Ming. She did not use any magic, but instead threw a punch forward.

That pristine white fist was wreathed in densely packed immortal symbols, radiating a terrifying power that violently pressed down on the void.

Collapse.

Clearly, the Fist Print was no small matter.

Some exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of a veteran Great Sage, this punch embodies a century's worth of cultivation!"

With a deafening roar, it was as if a river of lightning had collided in the night sky. The light from their fists tore through the deep night, producing a deafening sound.

Jing Zhi was surprised. This was an invincible punch she unleashed after achieving mastery of body refinement and activating all her Blood Qi, yet it had been blocked.

She was True Immortal; her right hand was somewhat red and swollen, and throbbed with pain.

The other party is merely a Ancestor; there's a vast barrier between them. How could he possibly stand against her?

As Great Sage deep within the Night Mist World, Jing Zhi held herself in high esteem and originally thought that facing anyone in the Sixth Realm would be a foregone conclusion, resulting in a crushing defeat.

Her expression turned serious, and she muttered to herself, "As expected—he is an outstanding individual even among the Anomalies."

Qin Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. Although Jing Zhi spoke eloquently, her cultivation was truly astonishing. Her seemingly frail body was as if it were cast from Divine Metal.

No wonder she was able to represent the Sacred Fire Palace at the event; she's not someone to be trifled with.

Jing Zhi raised her right hand, and Immortal Fire rose, Golden Haze shimmered, and the redness and swelling instantly subsided, returning her to her flawless white state.

She said, "Those Body Cultivator are indeed remarkable."

For a cultivator at the Ancestor Realm to block her True Immortal- level Fist Print, the only possibility is to temper their physical body to the perfect level; otherwise, the Jade Capital Demon's right hand would have already shattered.

Her expression was extremely serious. She no longer dared to underestimate this so-called rising star of the Ancestor Realm, but treated him as a True Immortal.

With a loud boom, Jing Zhi's fist light became much more intense than before, directly using the Sacred Fire Palace's ultimate technique, the Three Absolute Fist Print.

Her seemingly graceful figure was covered with dense Immortal Dao Patterns, especially her right fist, which resembled Scorching Sun rising from the Eternal Night, extremely dazzling.

In an instant, she seemed to be riding on Thunderfire and fire, moving so fast that even the Immortal Capital could not see her clearly.

Jing Zhi seemed to be traversing the void, leaving behind afterimages everywhere. These afterimages were connected by Immortal Fire, creating a somewhat terrifying scene.

The entire area seemed to be filled with Extramundane Heavenly Fire.

Qin Ming was also moving at high speed, exchanging blows with her continuously.

Throughout the long night, from the sky to the ground, the terrifying light of their fists lingered, one after another, terrifying beams of light crisscrossing and turning the night into day.

Jing Zhi was certain that her opponent's Body Refining Cultivation Method was of an extremely high level. After tempering his physical body to the pinnacle of the Ancestor Realm, he had taken it a step further, reaching the legendary level. This was why he was able to perform exceptionally well and fight against True Immortal.

She wanted to put this young Great Sage under pressure, and in his area of expertise, she unleashed her Three Ultimate Fists, hoping to crush him or at least leave him covered in cracks.

Qin Ming was currently circulating the "Body Refining and Dao Integration Scripture," which had been one of his key strengths in enabling him to defy True Immortal on the surface of the earth where magic was not readily apparent.

Right now, he is gathering Chaos Force, Heavenly Light rises from his fist, like boiling immortal Immortal Fire burning, causing the entire sky to rumble and explode.

Jing Zhi's previous punches were merely preludes; now, with three consecutive punches, the punches transitioned from human fists to earth fists, and then evolved into heaven fists.

Amidst a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, beneath the Eternal Night, three Abyss appeared as if connected to purgatory. Suddenly, the seal was broken, spewing out towering waves of heat. Glowing mushroom clouds surged forth one after another, before exploding violently.

When Jing Zhi unleashed her Three Absolutes Fist Print with all her might, her flesh and blood radiated outwards a massive amount of Immortal Dao Substance, seemingly about to tear apart all obstacles and sweep across the entire battlefield.

Qin Ming's Chaos Force, infused with Primordial One Qi, burst forth from his body, distorting the void and combining with his own Spiritual Field to block the endless fist light.

The Three Absolute Fist is very powerful, but it will be extinguished once it enters Qin Ming's Ten Directions range.

His Blood Qi were as abundant as the sea, merging with the Primordial One Qi and the Chaos Force. When he naturally exuded this energy, he was impervious to all evil and burned away all abnormal forces that approached him.

At the same time, he unleashed his Body Refining and Dao Integration Fist, a perfect combination of a flawless physical body and magical techniques. The fist light surged, overwhelming everything in its path.

"My fists are just as hard!" Qin Ming shouted.

How could he not understand the other party's intentions? They wanted to break through his strongest domain.

Unfortunately, the other party is likely to be disappointed.

The New Life System places the greatest emphasis on the physical body, undergoing transformation after transformation. Even without Body Refining and Dao Integration Scripture, it becomes terrifyingly resilient, allowing him to fight beyond his level.

The deafening collisions and the ubiquitous flashes of light from the fists sent shivers down the spines of all the Immortal Capital.

The sky shook violently, as if a corner of it was about to collapse.

In the night sky, Jing Zhi retreated step by step, her fist stained with blood, and her five fingers twisted and deformed, clearly suffering from severe fractures.

The area was a bloody mess, with some white bone fragments already exposed.

She stood tall in the realm of True Immortal, intending to crush those who came after her with her Major Realm and give them a taste of their power. However, she ended up learning a lesson herself.

The crowd was in an uproar; the one who had the upper hand was actually the Emperor Qin.

His Dragon Robe robe fluttered in the wind, yet remained intact amidst the terrifying Immortal Light. The Crown Bead Curtain tassels hanging from his crown swayed incessantly, but once he regained his footing, he was unharmed.

The Primordial One Qi in his fist receded, and when his five fingers were spread out, they were long and slender, with not even a scratch on the skin.

Jing Zhi spoke frankly, "The Night Mist World Vast and Boundless. I underestimated the Great Sage of the outer regions. Today, Emperor Qin, you have given me a bloody lesson."

Why was she so fixated on competing with him in the field of body refinement? In the end, she was overestimating herself.

Immortal Fire swirled around her, enveloping her entire body and causing her to rise from the Nirvana like Phoenix. Her right hand bones crackled, but were instantly healed, her five fingers as white as ivory carvings.

She comes from the Supreme Dao Field — the Sacred Fire Palace —and is most skilled in all techniques related to fire. How could she possibly imitate a "Savage Immortal" in battle?

She and Qin Ming faced each other across the vast sky.

Outside her body, the sacred flame transformed into a halo, layer upon layer, protecting her at the center.

She made her move without a sound.

Jing Zhi unleashed the ultimate technique of the Supreme Dao Field, causing her spiritual fire to blaze brightly. In an instant, the light shone forth, ignoring spatial distance and spreading into her opponent's Spirit Domain.

This is a mysterious and terrifying inner fire, transcending time and space to directly invade the opponent's mind.

The so-called night sky and vast distances seem to have completely lost their meaning.

Qin Ming frowned slightly, secretly marveling that the rise of the various Supreme Dao Field was indeed no accident; no wonder they could shine for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.

If his reaction had been even a fraction of a second slower, his Pure Yang Consciousness would have been swallowed by the flames.

In an instant, several dazzling rays of light rose from his body.

The first is the Chaos Force, which automatically protects the body and can block mental attacks.

Then comes the body's instinctive reaction, the results of Body Refining and Dao Integration Scripture are tested, and mysterious characters intertwine in the flesh and blood, becoming a second line of defense.

Then, within its Mental Field, lotus leaves unfurled, and green mist rose, stabilizing the Light of the Mind —a manifestation of the wondrous Dharma of the Turbid World Azure Lotus.

At the same time, the special properties of the "Nine Heavens Scripture" he practiced were also revealed, with a rain of Heavenly Light, ready to guide his consciousness to "ascend" at any time.

Of course, its consciousness may also Hell.

After all, the Nine Heavens Scripture is also known as the Abyss Strategy and the Hell Scripture.

His soul was able to escape the pursuit of Wu Yao, Eighth Realm expert, back then thanks to this scripture.

In the night sky, terrifying waves of fire rose up, then transformed into a vast sea of fire, a magnificent sight that completely engulfed the void where Qin Ming was located.

Xiao Zongbai's expression turned serious. He said, "Jing Zhi went very far. She immediately used the Sacred Fire Palace's ultimate technique, ' Heartfire Scorches the World,' a method that can easily extinguish the Light of the Mind."

He came from the Profound Origin Hall and had known Jing Zhi for many years, and was very familiar with her unique skills.

"Won't something bad happen?" Lu Qingxiao asked.

If True Immortal like Jing Zhi were to unleash her top-tier techniques and go all out against a Ancestor, the slightest carelessness could destroy the opponent's Mental Will.

The saints' expressions turned serious, and they stared intently at the battlefield.

Boom!

A towering sea of fire exploded, engulfing everything in its path.

Especially in the very center, the raging fire in his heart was extinguished, and there stood a tall figure, unharmed despite the Heartfire Scorches the World.

Jing Zhi was astonished; the other party was completely unharmed. Was he really that powerful even in the realm of magic?

Clearly, this opponent had no weaknesses and seemed to have reached the pinnacle in every field, which made her somewhat uneasy. Could it be that she had encountered a young Dao Venerable?

This guess made her gasp.

However, before she could think further, the opponent's devastating attack had already struck.

Qin Ming was very satisfied; with multiple layers of defense, the opponent's inner fire couldn't invade his consciousness at all.

At this moment, he is using the forbidden technique Ancestor Worm's Cry.

A sense of despair swept across the heavens and the earth, like a dam bursting in the Xinghai, surging endlessly with countless layers of turbulent waves. Boundless Daoist charm and runes completely covered what lay ahead.

In the past, he was intercepted and killed by Wu Yao, and truly experienced the State of Mind of the Ancestor Worm in the face of "Heavenly Frost". He has now completely mastered this unique skill.

Everything has a lifespan. Even the mighty Ancestor Worm must abide by the order of heaven and earth, and its life ends in a single lifetime. In the chilly autumn, as the great era comes to a close, it withers away and is buried under the "withered leaves of time".

"Ah----"

Jing Zhi was violently impacted and witnessed all sorts of desperate and bizarre scenes. She struggled desperately to Strive to Cross the river, but could not escape the cruel hand of fate. Like a falling yellow leaf, her vitality was constantly Pass By, and she was destined to return to the mortal world.

She roared to the sky, her black hair flying backward, her whole body ablaze with flames, and wisps of chaotic light rising from her body, a truly astonishing sight.

"She has condensed a seed of Chaos Flame? That's truly remarkable!"

Many people's pupils constricted, and they felt alarmed.

Earlier, they even wanted to mock that a dignified True Immortal had actually been defeated in a great battle against the Ancestor.

Upon seeing this scene, their smiles vanished.

If they were to compete against each other, would they perform even better?

If Jing Zhi cultivates the true Chaos Flame, her future abilities will be boundless and profound.

Even a sliver of light helped her stabilize her body and reverse her decline.

She blocked the final wave of the Ancestor Worm's Cry, hovering in the night sky.

Her hair was disheveled, her body was covered in cracks and bloodstains, and she was seriously injured.

Qin Ming's expression turned solemn. He had mastered the Ancestor Worm's Cry, making it one of his strongest trump cards, yet it hadn't brought this woman down.

"You're remarkable; you blocked my ultimate technique," he commented earnestly.

However, to the All Immortals and Great Sage, these words were interpreted in a completely different way—as if they were mocking them, with a very strong undertone.

At this moment, Xie Linzhou, the prodigy of Perching-Star Cliff, had already woken up and witnessed this scene. His baby face immediately wrinkled up.

In his view, this Jade Capital Demon was arrogant and domineering, simply outrageous.

However, after seeing Jing Zhi's miserable state, Xie Linzhou's brows inexplicably relaxed, and his mindset became much more peaceful.

In comparison, he exhaled a breath of stale air, his restless emotions calmed down, and his suppressed spirit was no longer so tense.

He had to admit that, in a sense, this was an "era of competition to see who could be worse."

(Update is late, I'll write another chapter at noon.)
