Hammering the Eastern King to Death
A wary glint flashed in the Eastern King's eyes as he stood atop the mountain, looking up at Chen Lingxi.
News of Chen Lingxi's Battle of Seizing the Cauldron naturally reached his ears.
How could such a person be blinded by hatred?
The Eastern King concealed his aura, his Qi and Blood and qi surging forth, and his gaze fell upon Chen Lingxi.
Chen Lingxi simply stood atop the clouds, looking down at the Eastern King Mystic Entry Realm.
The murderous intent in the Eastern King's eyes gradually subsided.
Without further ado, he took a step forward, and his vital Qi and Blood erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, soaring into the sky and dyeing half of the sky a dazzling white.
He threw a punch.
This punch had no fancy moves, only pure, unadulterated power.
All the Qi and Blood of the Tenth Profound Realm were concentrated in this punch. When the fist energy broke through the air, it was like a real sun falling from the heavens, carrying terrifying power that could destroy the world, and it slammed into Chen Lingxi.
As soon as this fist energy was unleashed, the renowned Eastern King of the Mystic Entry Realm turned around and eagerly stepped forward, intending to leave this place.
Having already heard of Chen Lingxi's formidable reputation, even if Chen Lingxi had killed his son and daughter, he would naturally not risk confronting Chen Lingxi.
But Chen Lingxi then revealed a slight smile.
"Trying to escape?"
Chen Lingxi stood atop that cloud of blue, his expression unchanged as he faced this earth-shattering punch.
He raised his right hand.
make a fist.
The instant he clenched his fist!
Within the simple Inner Divine Palace of his body, the illusory image of the Great Heaven-Inviting Great Sage, who sat cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
An indescribable, terrifying aura erupted from Chen Lingxi's body at that moment.
A gigantic phantom vaguely appeared behind him. The phantom stood tall and imposing, with stars faintly swirling around its head, and it exuded a terrifying, suffocating pressure.
It was the blurry figure in the Heaven-Inviting Great Sage Audience-with-the-Dao Diagram Dao.
As soon as the Great Sage Sage's phantom appeared, an incomparably powerful essence burst forth from his Inner Divine Palace, surging into Chen Lingxi's right fist.
The energy was incredibly heavy, as if someone had forged an entire mountain into this fist.
Chen Lingxi stepped forward and suddenly threw out his right fist.
This punch collided violently with the Eastern King's fist energy in the Void.
Rumble!
A terrifying sound wave exploded from the point where the two fists collided, sweeping wildly in all directions.
As the sound waves passed, the sea of clouds was shaken apart, and the earth was cracked inch by inch.
The Eastern King's Qi and Blood fist energy shattered instantly, but Chen Lingxi's Great Sage punch still had considerable force remaining, heading straight for the Eastern King!
The Eastern King's pupils suddenly contracted as he turned and retreated.
He felt an extremely terrifying force attacking him from behind.
That power was too immense, domineering, and incredibly fast.
"This person... is indeed powerful to an unparalleled degree!"
The Eastern King's brow twitched, and he had no choice but to turn around and throw another punch, attempting to block Chen Lingxi's attack from the Great Sage!
However, Chen Lingxi's current physical strength, under the blessing of the Great Sage's illusory image and the True Edict of Audience with the Dao, is simply too formidable.
The Eastern King's fist energy shattered in less than half a breath before Chen Lingxi's punch, turning into countless shimmering white light fragments.
The essence of the Heaven-Inviting Great Sage, along with Chen Lingxi's Qi and Blood and spiritual energy, poured into his right arm like a golden torrent.
The right sleeve of the Eastern King's arm instantly turned to ashes under the impact of this force!
He grunted, his entire body sent flying backward by the punch, crashing to the ground like a falling comet.
But Chen Lingxi's punches did not stop.
The cloud of green beneath his feet suddenly accelerated, and he moved like a humanoid thunderbolt towards the Eastern King, unleashing another punch with his right fist.
The second punch!
Chen Lingxi raised his right fist high, and the phantom of the Heaven-Inviting Great Sage behind him also raised his right hand at the same moment.
The phantom's right hand and Chen Lingxi's right fist fell simultaneously, like two overlapping meteors, carrying terrifying power to suppress everything, crashing down on the Eastern King.
The Eastern King raised his head, gazing at the golden fist energy descending from the sky...
Then--
Boom!
A deafening roar.
The Eastern King's body shattered into pieces like a broken porcelain doll, with blood and flesh flying everywhere!
Then, a shocking cloud of blood mist exploded in the Void!
Before the blood mist had completely dissipated, Chen Lingxi had already withdrawn his fist and stood still.
The illusory image of the Great Sage behind him slowly dissipated, merging into the Inner Divine Palace within his body, and transforming once again into the Great Heaven-Inviting Great Sage, sitting cross-legged.
He stood atop that rising cloud, his robes fluttering, his aura gradually receding.
He didn't even glance at the Eastern King's scattered corpses. He simply withdrew his gaze, and the cloud beneath his feet once again enveloped the lightning, shooting off into the distance.
From the time he came here to kill people until the fall of the Eastern King, he rode away on a cloud.
The entire process took no more than a dozen breaths.
Chen Lingxi didn't even utter a single word.
The battlefield was deathly silent.
"God... God..."
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers from both sides knelt down.
Blood still clung to the corner of Xiao Zhushan's mouth as he stared blankly at the receding pale blue streak of light.
He had just been nearly killed by the Eastern King's two blows, but now he felt no pain at all. He just stood there blankly, his mind a complete blank.
He had witnessed Chen Lingxi's prowess firsthand; when he intercepted and killed Crown Prince Ying Chi outside Yuan River Prefecture, Chen Lingxi had displayed formidable combat strength.
But while Chen Lingxi was strong back then, he was nowhere near as powerful as he is today... It's unbelievable.
The Mystic Entry Realm Eastern King of the Tenth Profound Realm, the one hailed as "The Eastern King of the Mystic Entry Realm, unparalleled in the world"—a pinnacle of martial arts...
He was killed by punch after punch.
Xiao Taozhuo also stunned and stood there.
"This..." Xiao Taozhuo began in a low voice, seemingly wanting to say something, but unsure where to begin.
They could only watch Chen Lingxi leave from afar.
--
Chen Lingxi killed the Eastern King, settling a score, and gained a better understanding of the terrifying power of the True Edict of Audience with the Dao.
"Such a body-refining Divine Ability is truly astonishing... Moreover, while the Great Sage is breathing within that Inner Divine Palace, I am still growing stronger every moment."
Chen Lingxi exclaimed in amazement as she headed straight for the Mystic Wonder Abbey in Yuan River Prefecture.
This Daoist temple is located deep in a secluded alley in the western part of Yuan River Prefectural City.
With its blue bricks and gray tiles, upturned eaves, and a stone plaque hanging above the door, the plaque bears the three characters "Mystic Wonder Abbey," written in a slender yet powerful style, subtly conveying a sense of otherworldly elegance.
Chen Lingxi arrived on a cloud and landed in front of the Daoist temple.
It was dusk, and the old locust trees on both sides of the alley cast overlapping shadows in the twilight, making the Daoist temple appear even more serene and quiet.
The temple gate was ajar, and a dim, yellowish light shone through the crack, presumably from lamps lit inside.
He pushed open the gate and stepped inside.
The temple was extremely quiet.
The front yard was deserted, with only a few old pine trees standing quietly in the twilight.
The main hall's doors were wide open, and inside was a clay statue of a deity.
Chen Lingxi passed through the main hall and walked along a bluestone path towards the backyard.
He had Sight-Roaming Liu Changle before and knew that Liu Changle lived in the backyard wing room.
Take a few steps.
Chen Lingxi suddenly stopped in her tracks.
He frowned, gazing at the seemingly ordinary backyard before him.
"Something seems a bit strange..."
"Furthermore... where did the person who taught Liu Changle Rebirth Realm, who was also Liu Changle's master, go?"
As Chen Lingxi pondered this, the method of Qi Observation in his eyes silently began to operate. Spiritual Qi emerged from the Qi Sea, traveled upwards along the meridians, and flowed into his eyes.
Then...
His pupils constricted, and he immediately witnessed an astonishing scene!
Under his method of Qi Observation, the gate, main hall, trees in the courtyard, and even many buildings of this Daoist temple, all under Chen Lingxi's method of Qi Observation...
It was actually covered with a thick layer of Spiritual Qi!
These Spiritual Qi reflected various scenes, among which illusory images were everywhere.
Chen Lingxi looked closely and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Now that he had seen through these Spiritual Qi, the Mystic Wonder Abbey had turned into a dilapidated Daoist temple, overgrown with weeds and with rotten beams, resembling a desolate wasteland.
"The entire Mystic Wonder Abbey was actually constructed entirely of illusions."
Chen Lingxi looked around, unable to understand for a moment.
"Who on earth could have set up such a mysterious formation?"
