"Pfft!"
Kunpeng spat out a mouthful of origin blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.
His enormous half-man, half-Kunpeng Dharma form rolled wildly through the chaos, hurtling tens of thousands of miles backward!
By the time he barely stabilized himself, the World-Cleansing Divine Light had already melted a massive bloody hole through his chest.
Where was even a trace of his previous arrogance and insolence in his eyes?
All that remained was boundless shock and terror!
"Step, step, step..."
In the void, Li Qingxiao stepped upon the Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus, lotuses blooming beneath each step.
He understood well the principle of beating a dog that had fallen into the water, so he had no intention of giving Kunpeng even a moment to catch his breath.
"Since you came, leave your life behind!"
Li Qingxiao sharply swept his sleeve. The Daluo mysteries he had comprehended during three thousand years of listening to the Dao at Purple Heaven Palace merged together completely at this moment.
In the void, hundreds of millions of gleaming white World-Cleansing Sword Rays condensed out of thin air.
Every sword ray contained supreme sword intent capable of annihilating the primordial spirit.
Like a torrential downpour, they whistled as they slashed down toward Kunpeng!
"Bastard! You dare!"
Feeling the fatal threat contained within the sword rays filling the sky, Kunpeng was terrified out of his wits.
He had just wanted to beat his wings and flee this place of trouble, only to discover that every route of retreat around him had been completely sealed off.
"Kunpeng, since you came, why rush to leave?"
Ancestor Hong Yun behind him had long since been truly enraged. His hands rapidly formed seals.
His natal crimson clouds transformed into a vast red net, tightly sealing the void above, below, left, and right.
That red sand specifically harassed Kunpeng's primordial spirit.
At the same time, Zhen Yuanzi also stopped holding back.
He poured all the Daluo mana within his body into the Earth Book.
"Suppress!"
The Earth Book blazed with light. An irresistible and terrifying gravity descended with a thunderous crash, crushing down hard upon Kunpeng.
Kunpeng, who had once claimed the greatest speed in the Primordial World, was now under this immense pressure.
His body was as though trapped in a swamp, and every flap of his wings came at an enormous cost.
The three worked together flawlessly, instantly forming a perfect killing encirclement!
Watching those tens of millions of World-Cleansing Sword Rays about to strike him, and feeling the Northern Underworld origin within him grow increasingly thin.
Kunpeng finally felt genuine fear of death rise from the depths of his heart.
His thoughts of revenge were instantly shattered before the threat of death.
"You want to kill me? Dream on!"
Kunpeng's eyes were bloodshot as he let out a desperate roar like a trapped beast.
He made the most ruthless choice without hesitation.
"Northern Underworld Kunpeng Origin Blood Escape!"
With a muffled boom, Kunpeng actually sacrificed three thousand years of Daluo cultivation.
He directly burned more than half of the Kunpeng blood and origin within his body!
His enormous half-man, half-Kunpeng true body exploded into a dazzling cloud of blood.
It transformed into a streak of bloody light that even the divine sense of a Daluo Golden Immortal found difficult to catch.
Relying on the terrifying burst of power gained through self-mutilation.
That bloody light forcibly broke through the suppression of gravity and the crimson cloud blockade.
With a ripping sound, it forcibly tore open a crack in the Chaos Membrane.
Like a homeless dog, it fled back into the Primordial World in utter disarray, racing straight for its Northern Underworld lair to enter seclusion and heal.
"He fled decisively enough."
Li Qingxiao withdrew his sword rays and did not choose to pursue him by force.
Kunpeng had burned his natal blood essence to perform the Blood Escape, and his Dao foundation had suffered grievous damage.
Without tens of thousands of years of secluded cultivation, he could forget about recovering. He would be unable to stir up any trouble again in the near future.
Within the chaos, the storm gradually subsided, and peace returned.
The dust had settled.
Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun silently put away their magic treasures, then turned around.
As they looked at Li Qingxiao standing upon the white lotus without a speck of dust upon him, towering waves surged through their hearts.
A peak mighty figure at the mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal realm, Kunpeng, the Northern Underworld giant who claimed the fastest speed in the Primordial World.
Had actually been battered into grave injury and left coughing blood by Li Qingxiao's thunderous methods after only a few exchanges.
He had even been forced to use Blood Escape to flee for his life!
That unfathomable foundation of spiritual treasures, along with Li Qingxiao's ruthless and decisive methods.
Completely won over the two mighty figures.
"Fellow Daoist Qingxiao's divine might is astonishing. I am truly convinced!"
Zhen Yuanzi wore a solemn expression as he stepped forward. Together with Hong Yun, he gave Li Qingxiao a deep bow.
This bow was not merely for Li Qingxiao's strength, but also acknowledged the grace of helping them attain the Dao and saving their lives.
They entrusted all of that karmic debt to Li Qingxiao.
Li Qingxiao smiled faintly and raised the two with an invisible force.
"You two are too polite. Kunpeng is narrow-minded. Keeping him alive would only bring disaster, so I merely acted according to the circumstances."
"Now that the danger has passed, let us return to the Primordial World."
The three exchanged smiles and passed through the Primordial World membrane side by side.
After they departed, within a chaotic undercurrent far from the battlefield.
Several deeply concealed divine senses slowly withdrew.
The Three Pure Ones of Pangu, Di Jun and Taiyi, and even Ancestor Minghe of the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Had all secretly witnessed this brief yet shocking interception.
"That Twelfth-Grade White Lotus... it is actually of the same origin as the Genesis Green Lotus of our Orthodox Lineage of Pangu! This child's foundation is unfathomable!"
Supreme Purity Laozi slowly opened his eyes, a deep trace of apprehension flashing through them.
Di Jun's expression was even darker as water as he transmitted his voice to Taiyi.
"Second Brother, should you encounter that young man in white in the future, do not provoke him lightly unless you are absolutely certain of victory!"
Although Li Qingxiao had failed to kill Kunpeng in this battle, the terrifying strength he displayed.
Had already made the gods hidden in the shadows wary to the extreme.
The name "young man in white" officially shook the highest circles of mighty figures in the Primordial World at this moment!
After passing through the Primordial World membrane and descending once more onto the Primordial World continent filled with pure heaven-and-earth qi, all three felt refreshed.
Hong Yun enthusiastically tugged at Li Qingxiao's sleeve and warmly invited him.
"Fellow Daoist Qingxiao, I have no way to repay such great kindness."
"If you do not mind, you must come stay for a while at my Fire Cloud Cave, or at Brother Zhen Yuanzi's Five Villages Temple!"
"We can sit and discuss the Dao, then taste a few Ginseng Fruits. Would that not be delightful?"
Zhen Yuanzi also stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, extending a warm invitation.
Looking at the enthusiastic kind-hearted man, Li Qingxiao remained perfectly clear-headed.
He knew that most of his future opportunities should lie at Mount Buzhou, Pangu's spine, and with the Wu, who were about to rise.
The Purifying White Lotus needed massive amounts of baleful qi to purify in exchange for merit.
And the Wu were precisely the greatest gathering place of baleful qi in the Primordial World.
"Your kind invitation is something I truly should not refuse."
Li Qingxiao cupped his hands slightly and smiled frankly.
"However, I have sensed that another great opportunity belonging to me is about to emerge deep within Mount Buzhou. I cannot delay and must depart immediately."
When Zhen Yuanzi heard that it concerned a great opportunity on the Dao path, he naturally did not dare obstruct him.
But he knew that the karmic debt he owed Li Qingxiao was as vast as heaven itself. Without hesitation, he flicked his sleeve.
He took out a warm jade box that emitted endless fragrances of vegetation and the Essence of Innate Wu Earth.
"You have important matters to attend to, Fellow Daoist, so I naturally cannot insist that you stay."
"But if we let you leave empty-handed, would Hong Yun and I not become ungrateful people?"
