Shedding Fiend Qi for Origin Qi, Elephant King God Body

That giant deity, Yang Xiangong, heard his words and was enraged. He let out a cold laugh, "Born free? You are born to be ruled by the emperors of the human world, and die to be ruled by the underworld. Where is this freedom you speak of? Such treasonous words are deserving of death! I had intended to leave you with your body intact, but it seems that's no longer necessary!"

He strode forward, his massive body moving with incredible agility. The sword formed from Incense Qi in his hand was also remarkably nimble, displaying the grace of a sword master as he charged at Xu Ying!

Xu Ying roared, raising his right hand to meet the thrusting sword.

The elephant-headed divine being behind him simultaneously extended its palm. The dense fiend qi clashed with the incoming sword, producing a piercing screech, like the sound of metal grinding against sand and stone!

Sparks flew between his right hand and the sword. The blade penetrated the heavy fiend qi but was blocked, unable to advance further. It only left a shallow cut on his palm, allowing Xu Ying to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

The giant deity's arm trembled a few times from the force transmitted by the sword. He secretly praised, "This rebel has great strength!"

However, while Xu Ying's palm could block the sword, other parts of his body could not.

The giant deity wielded the sword, thrusting, parrying, slashing, and cleaving. The myriad of sword techniques were unpredictably agile, forcing Xu Ying to constantly dodge to avoid the blade!

"Clang!"

Xu Ying seized an opportunity as the giant deity retracted his sword. He slapped the back of the blade with his palm, unleashing his elephant strength. The sword shattered under his blow!

Xu Ying surged forward and threw a punch. The Elephant God Fiend Body behind him let out a fierce roar and simultaneously threw a punch, its fist imprint overlapping with Xu Ying's!

As this punch was thrown, a fierce wind erupted, even creating a vacuum behind the fist imprint. Surrounding grass, trees, sand, and stones were swept up, filling the void.

This scene made it appear as though the surrounding flora and debris were following Xu Ying's punch, striking the giant deity along with it, adding to its might!

The giant deity grinned and, surprisingly, met the punch with his own.

His fist, enveloped in a green aura, transformed from flesh and blood into solid rock in an instant. It collided heavily with Xu Ying's fist!

"Bang!"

The air between their fists exploded with a deafening roar. A gust of wind swept towards the surrounding forests, making the trees sway and rustle.

Xu Ying retreated a step, his heart sinking.

The giant deity also lost his footing, staggering back three steps before dissipating the force of Xu Ying's punch. He praised, "This rebel is not without skill!"

Xu Ying clenched his fist and thought, My greatest strength is my power, but I don't have an overwhelming advantage here. And besides strength, he has also cultivated Incense Qi as his magic power, allowing him to cast spells. The situation is not in my favor!

More critically, for some unknown reason, Xu Ying's Blood Essence was inexplicably decreasing!

Although Xu Ying had received guidance from a "mysterious voice," cultivated his divine sense, opened the Realm of Serenity, and achieved Five Qi Towards Origin, refining the five qi into primal qi, his Blood Essence was still constantly draining!

From Jian Mountain to this place, Xu Ying realized he had inexplicably lost about fifty percent of his Blood Essence!

If he were at full strength, Xu Ying would have confidence in defeating the giant deity, but now, he truly lacked assurance.

The giant deity exclaimed in admiration and said with a smile, "Not bad. You indeed have the strength to contend with the Stone Mountain God and the Warden. Your strength alone is comparable to a deity, worthy of me going all out."

The Incense Qi around him suddenly condensed, forming another sword, over ten feet long, which he grasped in his hand.

Immediately, a second sword formed. This one was a short sword, only seven feet long, held in his other hand.

Then came a third and fourth sword. These were even shorter, only four feet long, floating in the air and moving slowly.

These two swords were part of the deity's magic.

"It's the Flying Sword Technique!"

Yuan Qi, though pinned to the ground, was concerned about the battle and shouted, "The books in my home say that deities can refine Incense Qi into flying swords, capable of beheading people from miles away. They are elusive and impossible to guard against!"

Xu Ying stared at these two swords, cold sweat beading on his forehead. Although these swords were short, they posed a greater threat to him!

Yuan Qi yelled, "His two swords don't seem to have a long flying range, but with the swords flying in the air without hand control, the variations in their moves will increase dozens or even hundreds of times! If you treat them as ordinary sword techniques, you'll fall into a trap and die!"

The giant deity roared with anger and waved his hand again. Incense Qi transformed into three arrows, which pierced Yuan Qi's body with a chu chu chu sound.

Yuan Qi coughed up blood and said, "I can still hold on. He hasn't forged a golden body yet. You defeat him for me!"

Xu Ying's eyes flickered as he stared at the two flying swords, thinking silently, I must engage in close combat, break through his body directly, shatter him, and not give him a chance to use his flying swords!

Suddenly, he stomped his foot violently, causing the ground to sink, creating a large pit!

The surrounding broken stones were then shaken loose by his stomp, rising into the air. Over a hundred pebbles and stones, large and small, some as small as a finger, others weighing hundreds of pounds, were all levitated by his ferocious Blood Essence!

As Xu Ying's foot landed, he unleashed a punch. The stones, carried by the fierce wind of his punch, whistled through the air, striking the giant deity along with the wind!

The third level of the Elephant Strength Bull Demon Fist, "Force extends ten feet." He had already cultivated it to the sixth level. His Blood Essence could extend far beyond ten feet!

This punch, carrying the scattered stones, formed a fist imprint four feet in radius, possessing astonishing power that reached several yards away with undiminished force!

Xu Ying took a step, his foot landing, and he stomped again. The ground sank once more, and more stones floated up!

He threw another punch, the wind carrying the stones to form a second fist imprint, striking the giant deity!

"Dong!"

His third step landed, and a third fist imprint was unleashed!

The giant deity grinned, wielding his swords with both hands, directly confronting the three fist imprints. The stones collided with the sword light, shattering with a pa pa sound!

The two flying swords around him danced, shattering the scattered stones that couldn't be blocked in time. In an instant, they broke through all three fist imprints, with energy to spare.

The shattered stones turned into powder, filling the air and obscuring the giant deity's vision. Beyond the swirling dust, Xu Ying charged forward, unleashing his fourth punch!

This punch, he was determined to land!

Just as his fist pierced through the dusty haze, he heard the whistling sound of flying swords cutting through the air.

Xu Ying roared, unleashing his punch with all his might. At the same time, two flying swords shot out from the mist, one heading straight for his face, the other grazing his side!

Xu Ying raised his left hand to block, and the elephant-headed divine being behind him also raised its hand. A palm formed from dense fiend qi met the flying swords first!

With a chi sound, the elephant-headed divine being's palm was pierced. Then, the Blood Essence in Xu Ying's left palm was pierced, and his palm was subsequently impaled!

The immense power contained within the flying sword pressed against his palm, piercing into his left chest, entering through his chest, impaling his shoulder blade, and exiting through his back!

Simultaneously, Xu Ying swung his right fist, striking the giant Deity. Blood Essence erupted into surging power!

"Boom!"

He and the giant Deity flew backward almost at the same time!

Xu Ying was carried by the flying sword and impaled on a large tree about twenty to twenty-five feet from the village entrance. The flying sword dissolved into smoke, and he slid down.

He tried to raise his left hand, but his arm was limp and powerless, unable to muster any strength.

His shoulder blade was pierced, his left hand was crippled, and his left chest cavity was impaled. He had little fighting strength left.

"He should be dead, right?"

Xu Ying looked up into the distance. The area ahead was filled with dust and smoke, which had not yet dispersed. He didn't know if the giant Deity was alive or dead.

Just then, a flying sword chimed and slowly emerged from the dust and mist.

Xu Ying's pupils contracted as a tall shadow gradually appeared within the dust.

Most of the flowing ribbons on the tall shadow were broken, and one-third of the wheel behind its head was shattered.

There was a fist-sized hole in its ribs, directly pierced through its body by Xu Ying's punch!

But it was still not dead!

"If I were made of flesh and blood, I would have been killed by you already,"

The tall figure in the dust walked out, chuckling, "But who told you I'm a Deity? Xu Ying, your martial arts are useless against me."

The tall figure raised its palm and waved it forcefully. With a whoosh, the dust was blown away by its palm, revealing its tall and majestic body!

Xu Ying stood beneath the tree, pressing a hand to the wound on his left chest, his heart filled with despair.

He had little Blood Essence left within him. Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't.

"I'll fight to the death!"

Xu Ying gritted his teeth, mustering his remaining Blood Essence, preparing for one final struggle.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Young man, do you know how to Shedding Fiend Qi for Origin Qi?"

Xu Ying hurriedly asked, "Senior, what is Shedding Fiend Qi for Origin Qi?"

The giant Deity, who was walking towards him, stopped abruptly upon hearing this, cautiously observing its surroundings, and sneered, "You have a helper?"

The Snake Demon Yuan Qi was also stunned, thinking, "Someone's speaking? Why can't I hear anything? Could that bell have messed with Ah Ying's brain?"

In Xu Ying's mind, the voice instructed, "You contain the Five Qi. When the Five Qi Towards Origin, they transform into Origin Qi. You don't understand Shedding Fiend Qi for Origin Qi, which is why you're being bullied by this simpleton. Fiend Qi is the malevolent qi within you, the impure Blood Essence. You cultivate martial arts, first forming a fiend body. You need to Shed Fiend Qi for Origin Qi to advance further."

Xu Ying understood instantly, feeling both surprised and delighted. He chuckled, "So that's how it is! Thank you for your guidance, Senior!"

The giant Deity looked around, finding no one, and sneered, "Kid, stop bluffing. I can see you don't have any help!"

Xu Ying circulated his Blood Essence, enduring the pain, and activated the Elephant Strength Bull Demon Fist again and again!

"Roar—"

An elephant's cry emanated from his chest, shaking the mountains and wilderness. Along with the elephant's cry, the Blood Essence in his internal organs surged. On the surface of his body, impure Blood Essence, like waste gas, was expelled from countless opened pores with a chi chi sound!

His tattered clothes were quickly stained by the blood and filth in the waste gas, turning crimson, and blood dripped from the hem of his robes.

As Xu Ying circulated his Blood Essence, the qi within him became purer and purer, with less and less chaotic Blood Essence.

His entire body shone brilliantly. The Elephant God Fiend Body gradually shed its impure appearance of blood and fiend qi. It was refining the fiend qi, Shedding Fiend Qi for Origin Qi, as if a true Elephant God stood behind him!

The final stage of the Elephant Strength Bull Demon Fist, the Elephant God King Body, was forged by him!

His aura soared, exuding an unparalleled domineering presence. Any great demon could only bow in submission before him!

He had refined the Elephant Strength Bull Demon Fist to a level only a Demon King could achieve!

The Snake Demon Yuan Qi stared blankly, murmuring, "Xu Ying has broken through again. He's truly become a great Demon King..."

He suddenly remembered that even if Xu Ying was a demon, he had only practiced the Elephant Strength Bull Demon Fist for two days. In just two days, Xu Ying had cultivated the Elephant Strength Bull Demon Fist to the Demon King level.

Was this speed of cultivation reasonable?

"But if he broke through, it means I'm not far from breaking through either," Yuan Qi thought.

After all, he would cultivate the way smart people cultivate, and he wouldn't be wrong.

Even if he was wrong, it would be the smart person's mistake.

The great snake, pinned to the ground, thought, "Sometimes, just lying here isn't so bad."

In Xu Ying's mind, the great bell secretly lamented, "I stole too much of his Blood Essence, preventing him from fully utilizing his strength, and almost got him killed. But fortunately, this kid is smart enough to comprehend Shedding Fiend Qi for Origin Qi in such a short time. Otherwise, if it were someone stupider, like this Snake Demon next to him, they would be dead for sure."

Seeing Xu Ying Shedding Fiend Qi for Origin Qi, the giant Deity was also startled and charged forward without hesitation.

It possessed immense confidence.

"As a Deity of Yangzitang Town, I've enjoyed incense offerings for two hundred and thirty-four years. My magic is profound. How can I possibly be inferior to some brash kid? Even if you've broken through, so what!"

His flying sword reached Xu Ying's face before he did, stabbing straight for it!

With his left arm crippled, Xu Ying could only use his right arm to block the attack!

In a flash of lightning and sparks, Xu Ying raised his right hand and punched towards the flying sword.

Behind him, the elephant-headed divine figure grew even taller, following suit with a punch.

The giant Deity sneered. This sword would surely pierce Xu Ying's right arm and pin him to the tree behind him!

However, as Xu Ying threw his punch, a vast vacuum formed behind him. Even the large tree at the village entrance was nearly uprooted, its canopy leaning forward, leaves rustling and swirling, converging into the fierce wind generated by this punch!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The flying sword collided with Xu Ying's fist and shattered, reverting to its original form and scattering into a wisp of Incense Qi!

Xu Ying's punch, its power undiminished, met the giant Deity's descending twin swords. The elephant god and the young man's fists overlapped.

The moment the swords and fist collided, a gale erupted. Countless leaves swirled and danced in the wind, scattering to both sides!

The Snake Demon, Yuan Qi, stared blankly at the scene, his heart in a panic. "Who won? Who lost?"

Leaves fluttered down, revealing the figures of the giant Deity and Xu Ying.

The giant Deity's long and short swords, held in both hands, were completely shattered. The protective Incense Qi wrapped around him was blasted through, leaving a large hole in his chest.

On either side of the hole, fragments of stone cracked and exploded outwards.

"Your strength... is far more refined than mine..."

The giant Deity's eyes finally showed terror. He looked at the much shorter young man and trembled, "You dare to slay a god! You've violated the heavenly laws. There is no place for you in this world..."

Xu Ying looked up at him, slowly retracting his fist, and pursed his lips. "If a Deity doesn't leave a commoner like me a way to live, why should I still revere you as a god?"

He walked past the giant Deity and towards the Snake Demon, Yuan Qi. "After the first time I slew a god, in my eyes, Deities are no different from the dogs offered on the altar. The next time I slay a god, I'll be even more proficient."

"The Underworld Court will not let you go..."

The giant Deity collapsed, crumbling to the ground in pieces.
