The Battle in the Soul World
"Li Changqing, you're doomed this time. Once I capture you, I'll make you experience the soul techniques of my Hun Clan, subjecting you to endless torment to vent my fury!"
The Hun Tiandi laughed wildly, as if he had already figured out Li Changqing.
A dark, ancient Token appeared in the Hun Tiandi's hand, covered with densely packed runes.
Following that, several aged Dou Sheng of the Hun Clan each produced a similar Token, though theirs was not as large as that of the Hun Tiandi.
These several Dou Sheng Elders channeled their Dou Qi into the Token to emit a strange aura.
A peculiar and powerful fluctuation emanated from the Tokens, and at the same time, the same fluctuation also emanated from the Soul World, as if the entire Soul World was resonating with those Tokens.
All the members of the Hun Clan felt an involuntary surge of fervor and worship, sensing the aura of their ancestral bloodline.
The several Dou Sheng Elders gritted their teeth, then shouted loudly and, without the slightest hesitation, threw the Tokens in their hands onto the ground below.
The Token, as if returning to its mother's embrace, merged directly into the land of the Soul World.
The next moment, something seemed to be stirred in the land of the Soul World, and the entire Soul World trembled.
Li Changqing's gaze sharpened, and he dared not be careless. He sensed a slight sense of crisis, but that was all.
It wasn't that he was being arrogant; with the Kunpeng Ultimate Speed, if he wanted to leave, he was confident he could escape even from a true Dou Di.
It was just a Formation left behind by Dou Di, and it posed no threat to Li Changqing's life. He wanted to see just how powerful this Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Severing Formation was.
The Hun Tiandi wore a confident smile, convinced that he had Li Changqing completely under his control.
"Li Changqing, so what if you are powerful? Outside, I might not be able to do anything to you. But now that you are in the Soul World, with the Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Severing Formation, anyone who isn't Dou Di must be executed!"
"The Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Severing Formation, activate!"
The Hun Tiandi roared and channeled his Dou Qi into the Token in his hand.
The Hun Tiandi looked at Li Changqing with indifference, as if he were looking at an ant.
Now, he could clearly feel that the entire Soul World was under his control.
With a thought from the Hun Tiandi, the Soul World trembled even more violently.
The scene in the Soul World was like the end of the world. The originally dark sky turned into an eerie black, and the earth cracked open, revealing countless bottomless fissures that spread throughout the entire Soul World.
These cracks are numerous and bottomless, from which large amounts of black mist surge and converge towards the Hun Tiandi.
The Hun Tiandi's aura grew stronger and stronger; if it weren't for the limitations imposed by his Source Qi, he would likely have directly reached the Dou Di.
Feeling the powerful force within his body, Hun Tiandi even felt a surge of confidence. At this moment, he was confident that he could contend with even a true Dou Di.
Li Changqing's expression turned slightly serious. As things stand, even if Hun Tiandi's strength didn't surpass his, it was definitely on par with his.
At the same time, Li Changqing also discovered the operating logic of the Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Devouring Formation.
As the Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Devouring Formation was activated, Li Changqing clearly felt that the barrier of the Soul World seemed to have weakened somewhat.
In other words, the Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Devouring Formation comes at the cost of overdrawing the entire Minor World of the Soul World.
This also means that once the Soul World is completely destroyed, the Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Devouring Formation will no longer be able to activate.
No wonder those Elders of the Hun Clan said that activating the Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Devouring Formation could lead to the destruction of the Soul World.
If the essence of the Soul World is completely exhausted, then destruction will be the only outcome for the Soul World.
Thinking of this, Li Changqing felt slightly relieved. If that's the case, then the Hun Tiandi's current state certainly wouldn't last long.
Li Changqing smiled, Yin-Yang Sword appeared in his hand, its tip pointing directly at the Hun Tiandi: "Alright, then let me see just how strong you become with the Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Severing Formation."
The Hun Tiandi coldly snorted, "Today is your death day!"
As he spoke, a blood-red longsword appeared in the Hun Tiandi's hand, and he charged towards Li Changqing.
Li Changqing drew his sword to meet the attack.
The swords clashed, producing a loud clang that echoed throughout the entire Soul World.
The Void was torn apart, and a large amount of Void turbulence surged out, making the already cracked earth of the Soul World even more terrifying.
After exchanging blows, the Hun Tiandi had a thought, and a large number of pitch-black ghost hands flew out from the crack in the earth, grabbing towards Li Changqing.
Each of these ghostly hands possesses extremely high attack power, comparable to that of Eight-Star Dou Sheng.
Although it wasn't much to Nine-Star Dou Sheng, the sheer number of them was a significant factor. Moreover, their greater purpose was to distract Li Changqing, preventing him from focusing on dealing with the Hun Tiandi.
Li Changqing his sword, severing several ghostly hands that were charging towards him.
"Hun Tiandi, is this your method? Trying to distract me with such tricks? If you have the guts, fight me head-on."
The Hun Tiandi sneered, completely unfazed by Li Changqing's provocation. "Likewise, didn't you also despicably snatch the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill from my hands?"
Li Changqing smiled, "That's true."
As he spoke, the Yin-Yang Flame surged along Li Changqing's arm toward the Yin-Yang Sword.
Black and white flames swirled around the Yin-Yang Sword, Kun Peng pattern on the sword seemed to come alive, swimming and soaring.
Li Changqing swung his sword horizontally, unleashing Sword Qi imbued with Yin-Yang Flames.
The moment those pitch-black ghostly hands touched the Sword Qi, they were instantly obliterated by the Yin-Yang Power.
Faced with the incoming Sword Qi, the Hun Tiandi dared not be careless and held his blood-red longsword horizontally in front of him.
After the Sword Qi struck, it did not completely dissipate, but instead transformed into a ball of flame that spread along the blade toward the Hun Tiandi's body.
The Hun Tiandi was shocked. He sensed the danger and quickly threw away the blood-red longsword. At the same time, he activated his Dou Qi to disperse the remaining Yin-Yang Power around him.
The long sword, once it lost the control of the Hun Tiandi, was instantly burned to ashes by the Yin-Yang Flame.
He asked in a deep voice, "This is clearly the Yin-Yang Flame, which is ranked at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Rankings. Why is your Heavenly Flames so strong? Even the Void Devouring Flame is probably not this strong."
Li Changqing smiled and said calmly, "Want to know? It's simple. If you kill yourself, I'll tell you why."
"You smooth talker! Once I suppress you, I will naturally learn your secret!"
The Hun Tiandi once again conjured a blood-red longsword and engaged in fierce combat with Li Changqing.
The Void Devouring Flame, watching the battle, clenched his fists. As a being of Heavenly Flames, he understood even better just how valuable Li Changqing's secret truly was.
Even the Yin-Yang Flame, ranked last on the Heavenly Flame Rankings, could be cultivated to a level no weaker than his. So, if he, ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Rankings, were to obtain that secret...
Even without Source Qi and unable to break through to the Dou Di, his strength would still rise to an unimaginable level.
But it was just a matter of looking. Li Changqing and the Hun Tiandi were far too powerful. Even though Void Devouring Flame was Nine-Star Dou Sheng, he didn't have the qualifications to get close.
