What Qualifications Do I Have Now?

Red lotuses bloomed above Hanshui City, their power so great that Lu Yang's eyes twitched. He was glad that Sect Master was clear about his grudges and did not transfer his dissatisfaction with his master to the next generation.

Five bursts of Red Lotus Karmic Fire struck down, depleting Qiu Jin'an's spiritual power. Governor Lü then used the power of the nation's destiny to quickly restore Qiu Jin'an's spiritual power.

In the blink of an eye, his spiritual energy was restored to its full capacity.

With the power of the nation's destiny, injuries and spiritual energy are no longer a problem.

In the words of the Xia Emperor, with the power of national destiny bestowed upon him, he feared nothing more than waging a protracted war.

Qiu Jinan was not surprised; this was not the first time he had fought alongside a user of the power of national destiny.

"Good, very good indeed!" Wu Youdao was covered in wounds, exuding a murderous aura that could be felt by everyone in the entire Hanshui City, who felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave and involuntarily shivered.

This wasn't a means of attack, but rather a result of Wu Youdao's overwhelming power, to the point that even his emotional fluctuations could affect those around him.

"You think you can defeat mere Red Lotus Karmic Fire?" White mist rose from Wu Youdao's body, and under the cover of the mist, his injuries healed rapidly.

Qiu Jin'an hadn't expected to accomplish the feat of challenging a higher level with just the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, especially crossing the gap between the Body Integration Realm and the Tribulation Transcendence Stage. However, the fact that it had such a small effect was still beyond his expectations.

Lu Yang was puzzled, not understanding why the Red Lotus Karmic Fire had such little effect on Wu Youdao: "The Red Lotus Karmic Fire is the karmic fire used by Buddhism to convert evil people. Even a tiny bit of it can be used as a catalyst to burn fiercely, so does that mean he has never done anything evil?"

Man Gu and Zhao Po were also extremely puzzled.

Regarding this point, Meng Jingzhou could explain, "Did you see Wu Youdao's five-colored dragon and tiger aura? This is a symbol of the emperor. How can the actions of an emperor be divided into good and evil?"

Qiu Jin'an and Governor Lü also realized this and changed their fighting style.

Wu Youdao didn't give the two time to react, and made the first move, with countless chains appearing behind him.

"Floating Pagoda Purgatory Palm!"

The chains were like a prison, pitch black, seemingly made of a substance like black iron, or perhaps condensed with Law Power; their existence was extremely strange.

"Those Tribulation Transcendence can refine substances that do not exist in the world. These chains must have been forged by Wu Youdao!" Qiu Jin'an emitted a five-colored divine light. Under the illumination of the divine light, the "gold" in the purgatory quickly melted away, leaving only the shape of condensed Law Power.

Qiu Jinan's words reminded Lu Yang of the Mother-Child River and the Twin River created by the Immortal Fairy.

Those at the Tribulation Transcendence stage can refine substances that do not exist in the world; immortals will only become stronger.

The chains were no longer a threat, but Wu Youdao's palm strike was still heavy and impossible to dodge.

Qiu Jin'an was not afraid. Five tiny, azure-colored flames appeared at the tips of his five fingers. He changed his fist into a palm, and the five tiny flames merged. Even the slight flame aura that peeked out from between his fingers was enough to distort space.

"Crystal Pure Fire!"

The flames clashed with the Floating Pagoda Purgatory Palm, the two forces vying for supremacy like a dragon and a tiger locked in a stalemate. Gradually, Qiu Jin'an's cultivation ran out, and he lost his momentum, causing the Glazed Pure Flame to fall into a disadvantageous position.

"And me!" Governor Lu pressed his palm against Qiu Jin'an, pouring in a continuous stream of spiritual energy, giving the Glazed Pure Fire new power.

"Triple Great Luo Force!" Wu Youdao suddenly withdrew his strength and struck out with another palm. The triple Great Luo Force was stronger than the previous one, shattering the Glazed Pure Fire and striking Qiu Jin'an's chest.

Qiu Jinan quickly applied pressure points, temporarily sealing off the triple force surging within the body.

"Three thousand weak waters!"

Qiu Jin'an spat out three thousand streams of Weak Water, which flowed endlessly and submerged Wu Youdao. Wu Youdao tried to break free from the Weak Water's restraints, but the Weak Water was as light as a feather and as light as a reed. Even with Wu Youdao's cultivation, he could not escape it.

"The Breath of Earth!"

Qiu Jin'an took out a piece of the Breath Soil, a legendary immortal soil that had been used by immortals themselves. Every bit used was a bit less, but he couldn't care less about that now.

The soil of the Xirang expands when it encounters water, and rapidly increases in number when it encounters Weak Water, burying Wu Youdao.

Puff--

Qiu Jin'an coughed up several mouthfuls of blood at this moment. This was the power of the Great Luo Triple Force. If he had coughed up blood earlier, Wu Youdao would have seized the opportunity to press his advantage, and then he would really have been unable to win.

Governor Lü rushed forward to treat Qiu Jin'an's injuries and share some of the burden of the Great Luo Triple Force.

Click--

The Weak Water and the Breath of Earth did not hold Wu Youdao back for long; he charged toward Qiu Jin'an in a fit of rage.

He realized that Qiu Jin'an was the most difficult person to deal with right now, even Governor Lü had to come after him.

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

Qiu Jin'an went all out, unleashing the Five-Colored Divine Light one after another, throwing out one of the five elements' items after another, and using as many as thirty kinds of true fire alone!

Wu Youdao no longer held back and used his killing techniques.

"A stunning finger strike!"

Named "One Finger," it is in fact the world. It condenses the power of the universe in the palm of one's hand into the index finger. The fingerprint is wide enough to allow four horses to gallop side by side!

"Three flowers gather at the crown, five energies converge at the origin!"

Qiu Jin'an refined essence into qi, qi into Spirit Transformation, and spirit into emptiness, finally gathering it at the top of his head, becoming impervious to all calamities. The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth returned to their origin and transformed, eventually returning to the Yellow Court, achieving perfect harmony and reaching an ineffable state.

"Water of Tanggu! Wood of Fusang! True Fire of the Golden Crow!"

Qiu Jin'an took out three treasures and recreated the scene of the birth of the ten suns. In terms of power, they were even more powerful than Meng True Lord's "Ten Suns Patrol the Sky"!

"The Fusang tree, so it turns out the Fusang tree fell into your hands!"

The two engaged in a fierce battle, neither choosing defense but instead launching the most extreme attacks to kill each other, trading blows for injury.

Governor Lü was so caught up in the changes in their fighting style that he could only focus on healing Qiu Jin'an's injuries.

Puff--

Qiu Jinan was kicked away, his ribs were broken in countless places, and even his soul was damaged and shaken.

"Very good! I've never seen anyone in the Body Integration Realm fight me to a standstill before!" Wu Youdao was slightly stronger than Qiu Jin'an. His body was injured, but fortunately, his origin was not damaged and his soul was unharmed.

"Can you still fight?" Governor Lü asked secretly via telepathy while treating Qiu Jin'an's injuries.

"Damn it, we don't have enough attack methods!" At this point, Qiu Jin'an lost his temper and cursed, "If another cultivator at the same Nascent Body Integration Realm as me, or someone like that old thief Bu Yu, we could win!"

"Where are we supposed to find these?" Governor Lu stared wide-eyed. If it were a matter of quantity, it would be easy to handle, but this was clearly not something that could be solved by just sending a few Body Integration Realm.

Wu Youdao laughed loudly, unconcerned about their discussion. "I've already thoroughly checked everyone in Hanshui City, and there's no one like the one you're describing."

"Really? Did you investigate me?"

An unfamiliar voice came from below, alerting the three people on the battlefield.

"Who is speaking?"

A man wearing a white paper hat slowly flew out of the house where the spirits were kept, and walked step by step into the sky.

Wu Youdao immediately saw through the white-hatted man's cultivation level and scoffed at his overestimation of himself. "With your mere Integrated Body Early Stage Realm cultivation, you think you're qualified to participate in our battle?"

The man in the white paper hat did not respond. At the same time, hundreds of people in the city came out of their houses and onto the street, which was already empty. These hundreds of people were particularly conspicuous.

A vengeful ghost saw them and lunged at them menacingly, intending to kill them, but was easily killed by one of them.

These hundreds of people looked and came from all walks of life; some were thieves, some were swindlers, some were accountants, some were waiters in restaurants, and some were employees of barbecue restaurants.

As the man in the white paper hat ascended into the sky, the hundreds of people followed suit, becoming one with him.

The man in the white paper hat also saw his cultivation level rise repeatedly, like a rushing river flowing upstream, rapidly increasing at a speed that was terrifying.

Integrated Body Early Stage, Integrated Body Middle Stage, Integrated Body Late Stage... Half-step Tribulation Transcendence stage!

He stood opposite Wu Youdao and asked calmly:

Am I eligible now?

The second update will be at 11 PM.
