Demon Emperor Holy Fetus
Chang Yuqing knew very well that Wenren Tinghai, being a junior, couldn't possibly make such a big decision; there must be a "master" guiding him behind the scenes.
From the moment Taisui Earth Lord made his move, he carried a strong killing intent, intending to kill Li Weiyi.
It can be said that if Li Weiyi had reacted even a moment slower, his head would have been shattered by Taisui Earth Lord's claw. In a battle at the level of Great Longevity, even if the older generation of powerful figures hiding in the shadows wanted to come to his rescue, it wouldn't always be in time.
And if Li Weiyi dies here...
How will Yu Yaozi react?
The Various Life Realms habitats gathered near Mount Qiao were completely taken aback by how the situation had unfolded, causing a great uproar and sparking heated discussions.
"I've personally witnessed the defensive power of the Blood Butcher Demonic Armor; it's comparable to the 'Myriad-character Artifact' treasure armor. Many transcendent beings don't even possess such defensive treasures; each one is priceless. And they're actually betting on five of them?"
"How many Blood Butcher Demonic Armor are there? The Demon Country Royal Family has too deep a foundation; their kingdom has accumulated countless divine treasures over twenty thousand years."
"If it weren't for the special circumstances of this Longevity Competition, such a treasure would never have appeared in the possession of martial artists at the third or Fourth Realm of the Longevity Realm."
Wenren Tinghai and Taisui Earth Lord secretly discussed the matter via telepathy.
The latter's sharp eyes turned to Li Weiyi, a murderous intent surging within them, chillingly intense.
Mo Duanfeng was unaware of the grudges behind this battle, but he could see that Taisui Earth Lord was different from the other demonic cultivators. Facing Li Weiyi, he did not bind his own hands because of the "Life Spring Contest".
He quickly flew into the air and arrived beside Li Weiyi, transmitting his voice. "Something's not right. Don't be impulsive. That Taisui Earth Lord seems to really want to kill you. This matter is probably related to internal strife within the Demon Realm. Someone wants to use this battle to kill you here and prevent the Great Palace Master from taking out the Life Spring to participate in the Longevity Competition."
"Don't worry, if things really get dangerous, the Demon Kingdom will definitely have a transcendent being who will come to my rescue." Li Weiyi couldn't openly express his thoughts, so he explained it this way.
Mo Duanfeng said, "Involving five Blood Butcher Demonic Armor, it will inevitably be a life-or-death battle. Many times, there simply won't be enough time; life and death will be decided in an instant. I've learned my lesson from impulsiveness. Take my advice: that Taisui Earth Lord is no simple character. I've heard the Prime Minister and my godfather mention him. They once planned to secretly eliminate him, but the operation ended in failure. Do you know what that means?"
Li Weiyi was deeply moved. Just how powerful must a young Demon Race cultivator be to warrant the personal planning and elimination of the human race's transcendent being and the Stored Son of Heaven?
It is likely that some high-ranking members of the human race believe that Taisui Earth Lord will pose a threat to the entire human race in the future.
This is incredibly valuable!
Unbeknownst to Li Weiyi, the reason the Heavenly Demon Empress Taisui Earth Lord to kill him was because she had heard about his deeds and felt threatened. She never expected that decades later, a powerful and rapidly rising transcendent figure would emerge from the Jiu Li Tribe. Even Yao Yin did not receive this treatment.
Mo Duanfeng said, "I reckon that this Taisui Earth Lord is very likely the Demon Emperor Holy Fetus, having condensed the bloodline of the Ancient Immortal Giant Beast to 90% purity."
Among the Demon Race, the awakening of the bloodline of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast can give birth to innate Innate Divine Ability, greatly enhancing their combat power and potential. This is equivalent to the level of top inheritors of Myriad Gate Families.
However, it was only an awakening; the bloodline of the Ancient Immortal Giant Beast within him was less than one-tenth pure.
To condense the bloodline of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast to ninety percent is not something that can be achieved simply by consuming its blood; it requires extremely high physical constitution, talent, and comprehension. In the boundless Ancient Immortal Giant Beast Primordial Demon Plains, only one such person might emerge every countless years.
"So what if Demon Emperor Holy Fetus? He's still only at the Fourth Realm the Longevity Realm."
Li Weiyi flew downwards, took out two Blood Butcher Demonic Armor, and handed them to Lu Jingchen.
Nangong rushed over, worriedly asking, "That Taisui Earth Lord seems to be quite extraordinary. Is battle unavoidable?"
"Once a word is spoken, there's no going back," Li Weiyi said with a forced nonchalance.
"Well said, worthy of being Yu Yaozi's Dao Law Successor. Earth Lord will not kill you today, but will break your limbs and inflict extreme trauma on your soul. What Saints Learning Sea could not do, we will do."
Wenren Tinghai approached carrying five Blood Butcher Demonic Armor, intending to provoke Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi raised his voice and said, "If the Taisui Earth Lord does not have the will and determination to kill me, he will surely die by my hand. Moreover, Brother Tinghai, what makes you think he will listen to you?"
Wenren Tinghai frowned.
"Brother Tinghai, you are a pawn without realizing it. In today's battle, whoever falls unexpectedly, you will bear the consequences."
After saying this, Li Weiyi glanced at the distant Taisui Earth Lord, and then looked around at the surrounding mountains, searching for the figures of the elders of the Chang family.
Ironically, the people who can most guarantee Li Weiyi's safety right now are Devil Lord Yu Baxian and the royalists.
"Swish! Swish..."
Several senior experts were summoned by Lu Jingchen from Carefree Capital to guard the Blood Butcher Demonic Armor and Ye Tianchen and Uncle Chu Fang.
The "Longevity Earth Ranking" was commissioned by the high-ranking human race to Thousand Mile Mountain for compilation, and it will be subject to strict supervision.
After the competition for immortality begins, each realm will assign some experts to oversee the fairness of the competition and severely punish those who break the rules.
The several senior experts who arrived at this moment included martial arts practitioners from Thousand Mile Mountain as well as observers who were fighting for immortality.
What is not publicly disclosed is that many of the inspectors are former members of the Sentinel Spirit Army, in order to ensure fairness and impartiality.
The Taisui Earth Lord stood atop Stone Tomb Madam's head, his pupils flashing crimson and gold light respectively. "Do you know why I've come to participate in the Longevity Competition?"
"What you're doing here is none of my business. But your joining the Demon Kingdom's camp is my business. If we can eliminate an opponent beforehand, we'll have a better chance of winning the battle for immortality." Li Weiyi stood proudly, sword in hand.
"You have more courage than I imagined."
Taisui Earth Lord's figure transformed into a series of phantoms, instantly traversing a distance of a hundred feet, and unleashing a powerful burst of magical energy. The magical energy contained Immortal Qi immortal energy, like crimson divine chains, slashing towards Li Weiyi.
No one expected that these two were so hostile, and that they attacked without warning.
It truly has Immortal Qi.
However, it was obtained from the remains of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast, and its power is vastly different from the Immortal Qi cultivated when the immortal was alive. A large amount of its power has been lost, making it incomparable to the original.
Such power is often used to refine, absorb, dilute, and transform.
In the Longevity Realm, directly mobilizing and utilizing Immortal Qi is an astonishing feat. Every move can transform the rotten into the miraculous, and the power of Daoist arts and magical artifacts will increase dramatically.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi swung his sword, cleaving through the crimson Immortal Qi aura and leaving a long sword path on the ground.
A fierce wind howled in, and Taisui Earth Lord closed to within three steps of him, his arm like an iron chain and mountain range, with immense force, sweeping towards Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi met the attack with his left arm, their bodies colliding head-on.
"Bang!"
The radiant light and Immortal Qi trembled and exploded, sending Li Weiyi flying to the right. His left arm briefly went numb with pain. The opponent's physical strength was even greater than he had anticipated.
Is it truly the Demon Emperor Holy Fetus?
Within the Shenque acupoint, liquid magical energy rapidly circulated throughout the body, and the pain in the left arm disappeared.
It was restored to its original state in an instant.
"Don't engage him physically! The strongest part of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast whose bloodline has awakened is its physical body. Don't be fooled by his current human form; his body is as large as a mountain, all condensed into a nine-foot-tall human form!" Mo Duanfeng roared.
"Aww!"
Li Weiyi stepped on the Yellow Dragon Projection, soaring into the sky, passing through the clouds and appearing hundreds of feet in mid-air.
Where are you going?
Taisui Earth Lord caught up at a speed no slower than "Yellow Dragon Ascends to Heaven," but always remained below Li Weiyi.
Suddenly, Li Weiyi above turned around and unleashed a sword strike that Heaven and Earth Split Open.
Taisui Earth Lord was by no means an arrogant person. He had already studied his opponent. Facing the Fundamental Martial Art sword techniques of Yellow Dragon Sword and Kaihai Li Pi, he was on high alert. He struck out a large number of demonic runes with his palm, which condensed into crimson clouds together with immortal Immortal Qi.
"Boom!"
The long river-like Sword Qi unleashed by Li Weiyi parted the clouds.
However, it was blocked by the Taisui Earth Lord below the clouds with his palm.
His palms were covered with a layer of mysterious light, not skin, but a Daoist technique, with astonishing defensive power.
"The Demon Race Clan's Imperial Technique, the Primates Black Robe. This technique is activated using Immortal Qi, and its defensive power is so strong that even if one stands still, it is difficult for martial artists of the same realm to break through its defense." Lu Jingchen was very knowledgeable and explained the origin of this technique.
Nangong said, "Ordinary martial artists of the same realm cannot do this, but how could Li Weiyi be an ordinary person? The Yellow Dragon Sword is specifically designed to destroy demons and evil spirits."
"Bang! Bang..."
The two figures in mid-air moved at incredible speed, traversing the mountains with sword strikes and palm strikes, the energy ripples from their clashing magical energies constantly impacting the ground.
Suddenly, Taisui Earth Lord roared "Mountain Moving Art," and actually moved the top of a stone peak away, smashing it towards Li Weiyi, who was fleeing in front of him.
Even a small section of the stone peak weighed immeasurably heavy, its imposing presence overwhelming. Li Weiyi turned to look, and his entire field of vision was filled with it, as if a star were falling, about to crush him into a bloody pulp.
Li Weiyi unleashed a palm strike that Overturning Sky Palm Seal.
Unable to withstand it.
The body plummeted rapidly.
After landing on the ground, Li Weiyi uttered the word "forward," and his entire body flashed with spiritual light as he teleported away.
"Boom!"
The stone peak crashed to the ground, the river was blocked, ancient trees broke one by one, the mountains shook, and it was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in.
Seeing this scene, countless Longevity Realm Martial Cultivators were stunned.
"Severing mountain peaks, moving and smashing them down—is this still the power of the Fourth Realm martial artist?"
"I am certain that the Taisui Earth Lord is the Demon Emperor Holy Fetus."
"Only someone of Li Weiyi's caliber can exchange blows with him. If it were any other Fourth Realm expert, even Son of Heaven's Disciple, they would probably have been killed already."
A Senior Disciple Brother of the Fourth Realm shook his head slightly. "This is nothing. I think the two of them are still warming up. The real life-or-death battle hasn't even started yet. Li Weiyi is very strong. The magical energy he has cultivated is not simple. It can block Immortal Qi. If it were us, we would have been defeated long ago... It's a pity that he hasn't reached the peak of the Fourth Realm. The gap is obvious."
"Dao Palace has arrived!"
When the news reached Carefree Capital, even more martial arts practitioners came to investigate.
The strongest members of the five major palaces appeared one after another, arriving fastest at the Dao Palace.
Among them, Dao Palace Shinden is the most eye-catching. She is legendary and very mysterious. She is said to be the new body of the Inami Mother, who once caused the deaths of tens of millions of people in the Lingxiao Shengjing. Behind her is the support of the Jiang Clan.
Even with a veil, her ethereal beauty remained undiminished, and the fragrance emanating from her filled the vast snowfield, inspiring even more fantasies.
Wu Hongling and the Purple-clothed Woman accompanied her, their eyes fixed on the distant battlefield, deeply shaken.
No one understood better than them how terrifyingly fast Li Weiyi was growing.
"If you weren't determined to fight to the death, why have you been running away? Your master is ranked lower than my master among the Stored Son of Heaven, so you are destined to be no match for me."
Taisui Earth Lord discovered that Li Weiyi's movements were unpredictable; he stepped on green smoke, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas, altering the Aura of heaven and earth.
"Sizzle!"
His eyes, one gold and one red, intertwined with bright rays of light, shooting out two beams of light.
The beam of light was incredibly powerful. When it struck the ground, it destroyed everything in its path. Grass and trees turned to ashes, rocks melted into liquid, and the earth was cleaved in two.
The sky filled with the chirping of cicadas and the hazy blue mist were shattered by two beams of light.
This was the first time Li Weiyi's Clear Void Cicada Evasion Step technique had been broken by external force.
