Heavenly Number Change, all karma vanished!
After using the Heavenly Secret Gu to erase the karmic debts he owed, Li Qing finally stood on the same starting line as the Demon Venerable. He no longer had to endure the restraints of the Karma Threads, unable to resist.
But even in fair competition, Li Qing remained at a considerable disadvantage. What he faced was the will of a half-step Dao Ancestor. Even if the current Demon Venerable was not at his peak, he was still far from easy to deal with.
At this moment, the Demon Venerable still held firm control over the body, enduring strike after strike from Li Qing's soul. Yet no matter how Li Qing tried, he could not shake the Demon Venerable's will.
Li Qing soon gave up. Seizing back control in one fell swoop was unrealistic; he had to proceed step by step.
Within the sea of consciousness, Li Qing's soul began by trying to seize control of a portion of his body.
"Have you exhausted the tricks of a donkey at the end of its tether? If this is all you can do, then you should go back and stay put." The Demon Venerable's cold, harsh voice resounded through the sea of consciousness.
In the blink of an eye, the portion of control Li Qing had just reclaimed was seized back.
The Demon Venerable's will was utterly unshakable. His dominance was absolute, as if an Immortal King were seated in command within the sea of consciousness, effortlessly suppressing every one of Li Qing's attacks.
Yet Li Qing continued trying without relent. Again and again, his soul extended beyond the sea of consciousness and attempted to control part of his body, even though he was suppressed every single time.
Seeing this scene, the Demon Venerable sighed.
