Three days later, as dawn broke, a thin mist, like countless wisps of celestial silk, gently covered this vast Holy City that had stood for countless ages in the Northern Region.
Li Qingshan walked slowly out of the Jade Pool Villa, without using any secret techniques to change the world or conceal his presence.
He was dressed only in black, his expression calm, his steps steady, his direction clear, pointing directly at the majestic city gate.
He didn't even ride the Divine Rainbow; he merely stood on the ground with his feet.
However, his steps, though seemingly leisurely, actually Union with the Dao principles; with each step, the mountains and rivers beneath his feet reverse, shrinking the earth to an inch.
In a few flashes, he had already covered a distance that would normally take a cultivator a long time to traverse.
It plunged straight into the depths of the vast, desolate, and deathly desert mountain range outside the Holy City.
Black Emperor followed closely behind, and this usually noisy Big Black Dog was unusually silent at this moment.
Only a pair of dog eyes gleamed, warily scanning the surroundings, its nostrils flaring as it caught the invisible yet increasingly intense chilling killing intent in the air.
Meanwhile, in the Holy City, a storm was brewing beneath the surface.
Countless gazes were cast upon him, closely following his every move.
In the Void, countless divine senses of vastly different strengths were like invisible spider webs.
A frenzied interplay, collision, and probing, relentlessly entangled and locked onto that seemingly unsuspecting figure.
Li Qingshan seemed oblivious to this.
His expression remained calm, his eyes deep, as if he were not heading towards a dead end, but rather to a long-awaited grand event.
Just as he ventured deep into the heart of a desolate mountain range, a place of jagged rocks and utter silence, the surrounding space seemed to freeze due to some kind of interference.
"Boom!"
The world suddenly changed drastically!
The sky darkened instantly, revealing a terrifying giant hand, covered in thick, cold blue scales, large enough to obscure mountains.
Without warning, it tore through tens of thousands of miles of Void, carrying the supreme power to crush stars and obliterate all laws, and crashed down on Li Qingshan!
The magical power contained in this giant hand has transcended the description of "vast"!
The moment it appeared, it stirred up the laws of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles, the space emitted a piercing cracking sound, and hideous black cracks spread along the edge of the giant hand.
The cultivator's cultivation level was no longer concealed in the slightest; Second Heaven of the Immortal Platform!
This is a truly Mighty Figure being!
The Immortal Platform Secret Realm is divided into layers, each with its own level of difficulty. The difference between each layer is far greater than the sum of the previous four secret realms!
This is an absolute chasm between the level of life and the understanding of the Great Dao!
"Ignorant brat!"
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, obediently offer up the Qilin Divine Seed, and I will grant you death!"
A hoarse, desolate Daoist shout, like a death knell from the deepest hell, resounded loudly.
The sound waves materialized, shaking the surrounding mountains and turning boulders into dust.
What's even more unsettling is that, right in the center of that giant hand, a dark, ancient iron seal quietly appeared.
The moment it appeared, a terrifying aura that surpassed the Second Heaven of the Immortal Platform burst forth.
That was the supreme majesty belonging to the King level of the Immortal Three immortal realm!
Despite its incompleteness, it is indeed a King's artifact!
Once this artifact was unleashed, it completely sealed off the Void, channeling all the King laws and destructive power contained within it into the giant hand!
Its power has been doubled, with the aim of completely erasing Li Qingshan from the world!
Having planned this for a long time and made thorough preparations, with an absolute crushing advantage in cultivation level, and further enhanced by King magical weapon for a decisive kill!
This is a doomed situation with no chance of survival!
Faced with this deadly attack, Li Qingshan's expression remained completely unchanged.
He didn't even look up, but calmly turned his gaze to a certain point in the Void, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Hiding your head and tail, finally willing to show yourself?"
I have been waiting for a long time.
Before he finished speaking, he moved.
"Thump!!!"
A deep, resonant sound emanated from his body!
The great dragon of the spine roars! Boundless divine light erupts from the Immortal Platform Secret Realm!
Crimson gold, azure blue, deep black, blazing red, and bright yellow! Five-Colored Divine Light soared into the sky, intertwining and rotating, evolving into earth, water, fire, and wind!
Within Li Qingshan's body, the Five Great Secret Realms roared simultaneously!
The Bitter Sea churns, the Dao Palace chants scriptures, the Four Extremes support the sky, Dragon Transformation Nine Changes!
A vast divine power, mixed with a trace of Innate Immortal Fetus energy, erupted like a chaotic tide!
He raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and punched the center of the descending giant palm!
Chaotic energy swirled around his fingertips, five-colored Dao patterns arose and vanished, evolving the supreme truth of the " Nine Secrets: Dou," manifesting all laws, and pointing directly to the origin!
The supreme intent of fist, manifested through my heart, representing the heart of Heaven.
"Clang!!!"
The fist and the giant palm, and the black iron seal, collided fiercely!
The expected carnage did not occur.
The collision at the core unleashed a world-destroying roar, a clash of Saint Weapon!
The blinding light devoured everything, and the energy shockwave spread in a ring, shattering space wherever it passed, vaporizing and flattening dozens of mountain peaks!
That terrifying giant hand was actually stopped in mid-air by this punch!
No matter how hard it tried to urge it on, it could no longer be suppressed even slightly!
The black iron seal trembled violently, and the dark light it emitted was constantly eroded and worn away by the chaotic energy and the five-colored Dao patterns!
"Impossible! What kind of monster are you?"
From the depths of the Void came a horrified roar.
The Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure couldn't understand how a junior whose cultivation was a whole major realm lower than his could withstand his peak attack, which involved burning his essence, energy, and spirit and activating his magical artifact.
"You can't talk about ice with a summer insect."
Li Qingshan responded coldly.
He chose to confront the challenge head-on in order to test his own limits and hone himself under the pressure of life and death!
However, the absolute gap in skill level is not easily bridged.
Although the giant hand was blocked, it still contained immense magical power and the residual pressure of King's magical artifact.
Like an immense burden, it relentlessly pressed through his fingertips, oppressing his body and soul.
Li Qingshan's bones emitted a faint "creaking" sound beneath his black robes.
Fine, five-colored patterns appeared and faded on the skin's surface, frantically dissolving the terrifying pressure.
A trace of pale golden blood silently seeped from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he was not in a good mood.
"Hmph! A stubborn resistance!"
Let's see how long you can hold out!
In the Void, the old man snorted coldly, the giant Qing Lin scales shone even brighter, and its power increased once more.
The black iron seal also rotated slightly, its dark light like tentacles, wrapping around Li Qingshan's arm, attempting to corrupt it.
It erodes its principles.
Li Qingshan's gaze sharpened.
His footwork shifted, his figure like a swimming fish, moving with difficulty within the absolute power domain of the giant hand. Each movement was exquisite, avoiding the point where the power was most concentrated.
At the same time, sword energy surged from his fingertips, and Five-Colored Divine Light flowed, constantly brushing away and disintegrating the dark light Dao principles that were entangling him.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!" The dark light collided with the Five-Colored Divine Light, producing a strange sound as if they were melting away.
Li Qingshan fought and retreated, and wherever he went, the earth beneath his feet silently turned to dust, leaving deep ravines.
He appeared to be at a disadvantage, suppressed by absolute power, barely able to hold on and dodge, but his eyes remained calm, as if searching for something.
" The Four Symbols revolve, establishing their dominion in the Void!"
He suddenly let out a low shout, and his left hand formed a mudra, no longer a simple Four Symbols shape, but instead drawing upon the four primordial forces of earth, fire, wind, and water!
A hazy, illusory image of a jade box appeared in his left palm, and the jade box opened.
The interior is no longer a specific sacred beast, but rather four violent and primordial innate elements colliding, intertwining, and evolving!
It was as if the chaotic period at the beginning of Heaven-Opening, when Yin-Yang separated, the Four Symbols raged and tore apart matter and living beings, had been recreated!
These Four Symbols Seal illustrate the essential principle of the evolution of heaven and earth from "nothingness" to "existence," and the transformation of Taiji!
The jade box, though small, seemed to contain a primordial world that was being discovered!
The illusory image of the jade box slightly illuminated the giant hand that was crushing down upon it.
"Buzz!"
A head-on collision, a disruption and lock-in at the level of principles!
The raging energy and chaotic Void surrounding the giant hand momentarily froze!
That immense power seemed to have sunk into an invisible swamp, its flow becoming increasingly obscure!
"Hmm? What kind of strange seal is this?"
The old man in the Void was filled with doubt and surprise, feeling that his magical power was being interfered with by a strange Daoist rhythm.
In the split second that the giant hand was slightly restrained by the Four Symbols Seal, Li Qingshan made his move!
His figure moved like lightning, the Dao patterns beneath his feet resonating with the Void, and he vanished from his original spot as if by teleportation, narrowly escaping the core coverage area of the giant palm.
At the same time, he clenched his right fist, which turned pure gold and burst forth with the Sun True Fire, as if he were holding a miniature, violent divine sun!
The Nine Secrets: Dou ) incorporates the true meaning of the Sun Emperor Fist Sun!
"Thump!!!"
He punched a certain energy node in the Void! The Void exploded into a chaotic black hole!
The old man's figure, shrouded in blue light, was jolted out in a disheveled state!
The old man's face showed horror, and he hastily produced a giant bronze shield engraved with the image of Kui Ox.
"Crack! Boom!"
The bronze shield shattered in less than a breath before the fist, which contained the Sun True Fire, the Four Symbols principles, and Li Qingshan's immense blood and energy!
The old man coughed up blood, flew backward, and crashed into several mountain peaks, collapsing them!
"Young man! You've angered me!"
The old man roared, completely abandoning his contempt, and unleashed his terrifying cultivation as Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure immortal!
He no longer relied solely on crushing with his giant hands, but instead employed various exquisite spells.
The azure light transformed into countless sharp swords, chains, and phantom images of ancient ferocious beasts, attacking Li Qingshan from all directions!
At the same time, he kept trying to activate the black iron seal, but he could not exert his full strength because Li Qingshan's figure was unpredictable.
However, the lingering aura of King still felt like a thorn in his back, greatly restricting Li Qingshan's movements.
Li Qingshan suddenly felt immense pressure!
He perfected the art of " Nine Secrets: Dou " (a classic Chinese text on character analysis).
Sometimes it manifests as True Dragon Claw to tear apart the rain of swords, sometimes it moves like Kun Peng to evade the chains, and sometimes it uses Five-Colored Divine Light to sweep away the phantoms of ferocious beasts.
Like a small boat in a storm, he struggled to withstand, dodge, and counterattack the ferocious attacks of the Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure immortal.
"Puff!"
A condensed azure light broke through his defenses, grazed his ribs, and sprayed blood. The wound was entangled with Daoist principles, making it difficult to heal instantly.
"Bang!" He exchanged another palm strike with the old man, his body trembled violently, he coughed up blood again, his tiger's mouth split open, and golden blood dripped down.
He was at a complete disadvantage and could only rely on his exquisite movement techniques, powerful physique, and supernatural abilities such as the Five-Colored Divine Light and the Four Symbols Seal to maneuver.
They occasionally retaliate, but rarely pose a fatal threat to the elderly.
The situation was extremely passive and fraught with danger. Li Qingshan struggled to hold on under the ferocious attacks of the Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure immortal, dodging and counterattacking while constantly inflicting new wounds on his body.
Pale golden blood splattered across the sky, as if the old man might seize an opening at any moment and kill the person with a single blow.
Black Emperor watched anxiously from afar, his eyes wide open, his sharp claws unconsciously scratching the ground, turning the hard rocks into dust.
"Damn it, this old bastard is really troublesome. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he's highly skilled!"
It muttered a curse under its breath, its face full of anxiety.
But it knew that rushing in at this level of combat would not only be unhelpful, but might also distract Li Qingshan.
However, the Black Emperor is still the Black Emperor. Having followed the Great Emperor Wushi, his knowledge and methods far surpass those of ordinary people.
It appeared to be merely observing the battle from the sidelines, but in reality, its pair of dog paws had already silently made countless strokes in the Void.
Each and every one of these subtle, yet profoundly mysterious patterns contains a deep Daoist essence.
Like a spider web, it silently blends into the surrounding mountains, terrain, and Void networks.
It's secretly making its move!
It possesses an astonishing mastery of formations, as well as some of the knowledge it acquired from the Great Emperor Wushi, or perhaps even some of it that it kept privately.
It was carefully outlining and guiding a corner of a broken yet terrifying array pattern.
That aura clearly carried a trace of the nascent supreme imperial might, though it was weak and incomplete, far from being comparable to a complete Great Emperor's array diagram.
But it is indeed a corner of a true Great Emperor's Killing Formation!
This corner killing formation was set up in an extremely concealed manner, drawn but not released, almost blending into the surrounding environment.
Unless one has a profound understanding of the Emperor Formation or possesses extraordinary cultivation, it is impossible to detect.
Black Emperor bared his teeth, his dog eyes gleaming with a cunning and fierce light. "Woof! You'd better hold on, human pet!"
Although this Great Emperor's Killing Formation is severely incomplete and the materials are only so-so, if I were to fully activate it and unleash a devastating attack, it should be no problem!
It pondered in its heart that this corner killing formation was one of its trump cards, which consumed a great deal of energy. Although it was incomplete, once it was used, its power was boundless.
It kept its eyes fixed on the battlefield, its paws seemingly pressing against a node in the Void.
With just a thought, this world-shaking killing formation can be activated, unleashing a devastating attack.
Just then, the old man on the battlefield seemed to feel that victory was assured.
The offensive grew increasingly fierce; the black iron seal transformed into a mountain of immense size, its dark light flowing like a Demon Mountain, pressing down upon them. He let out a triumphant laugh, "Haha! To annihilate you prodigies truly pleases me!"
Sensing the almost suffocating pressure, Black Emperor slightly raised its paws, its fur standing on end.
The hidden Emperor Formation in that corner began to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and faint chaotic light flowed within the array's lines, seemingly about to activate at all costs!
However, at this critical moment, it saw Li Qingshan on the battlefield.
Although blood trickled from the corner of his mouth and he staggered, his eyes remained calm and deep.
Black Emperor paused, instantly realizing that Li Qingshan still had a trump card up his sleeve!
"Woof! Just how many tricks is this kid hiding?"
Black Emperor barked softly, forcibly suppressing the urge to activate the killing formation.
But the dog's paws remained firmly pressed on the key point of the formation, not daring to relax in the slightest, fully alert and ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
It knew that the most crucial moment of reversal might be just around the corner.
This Great Emperor's Killing Formation will be the last guarantee to ensure absolute safety, or a fatal blow to strike a drowning dog!
Just obediently prepare to die!
The old man fought with increasing ferocity, his offensive relentless.
Li Qingshan's eyes were serious, and his breathing was slightly rapid. The continuous high-intensity confrontation and defense had taken a toll on him.
He did not use any sacred artifacts; this trial has not yet reached its final, desperate stage.
Relying on his own divine sense, he continuously deduced and searched for that mysterious turning point.
Just as the Demon Mountain formed by the Shrouding the Heavens black King's seal was locked in a cage like a prison, in that desperate moment...
Li Qingshan was struck by a sudden inspiration!
He no longer tried to force his way through the blockade, but instead completely immersed his mind in the Five Great Secret Realms within his body!
The Sea of Bitterness and the Life Spring of Life resonate with the Ocean of Consciousness in Immortal Platform!
The Five Elements of the Dao Palace are linked with the Four Extremes of the Void! The Dragon Transformation Spine provides boundless power!
A mysterious and profound rhythm began to grow within him!
The dark light from the outside was like billions of chains, coiling upwards, trying to crush and seal Li Qingshan!
"It's over!" the old man grinned maliciously.
However, it was precisely at this critical juncture that life and death hung in the balance.
"Buzz!"
A special state that transcends common sense, like a sleeping dragon awakening, has suddenly descended!
An indescribable light erupted from Li Qingshan's body!
That was not a single divine radiance, but a chaotic Dao light bursting forth from the ultimate resonance of the Five Great Secret Realms, interwoven with five-colored Immortal Radiance clouds of crimson gold, azure blue, dark black, blazing red, and bright yellow.
Like the first ray of light at the beginning of Heaven-Opening, it tore apart the sky, which had been rendered into a ghostly realm by the old man's magic!
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Five consecutive, resounding Daoist sounds, like Primordial Divine Mountain striking heavenly drums, erupted from the Five Great Secret Realms within his body, eventually converging into a dragon's roar that pierced the heavens!
In that instant, his aura completely broke through some kind of invisible shackle, stepping into a realm of profound mystery.
A special level that transcends common sense.
Divine Forbidden Domain!
Time stretched out in his perception, and the structure of space became crystal clear to him.
The old man's originally swift and ferocious attack now appeared full of flaws.
" Divine Forbidden?"
impossible!"
The old man roared in horror, but his fighting instincts made him immediately change tactics.
The giant hand suddenly opened, transforming from a slap into a grab, with five fingers like lapis lazuli pillars wrapped in dark light Dao principles.
It's no longer about suppressing from a distance; it's about using the absolute physical strength of Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure, combined with the laws, to crush Li Qingshan in the palm of your hand!
He noticed the strange increase in Li Qingshan's combat power, but he absolutely did not believe that the other party's physical body could keep up with such a transformation!
The strength of Innate Dao Embryo lies in its proximity to the Dao, not in its physical body!
"Close combat is suicide!"
The old man grinned maliciously, his giant fingers closing together, the wind from his fingers tearing through the Void, grabbing with the immense force capable of crushing mountains and rivers.
However, upon entering the Divine Forbidden, Li Qingshan's lips curled into a cold smile.
"A weak physique Innate Dao Embryo —what does that have to do with me Li Qingshan?"
He neither dodged nor evaded; the chaotic energy around him suddenly receded, and beneath his body, five-colored Dao patterns swirled and flickered like living dragons and snakes.
A powerful aura, no less potent than that of an ancient ferocious beast, suddenly erupted!
His body had already been subtly influenced by the Stone Gate and the profound level of the Sun True Scripture Sun True Body Scripture.
Furthermore, the repeated tempering by the Heavenly Tribulation and the Sun True Fire makes its strength far exceed the imagination of ordinary King Body and Divine Body!
Thump!
Li Qingshan clenched his right fist and unleashed a simple, direct straight punch!
There were no flashy divine lights, only the purest power and speed; wherever the fist passed, the Void groaned under its strain.
It left a clear white trail of airflow!
Fist to finger strike!
"Snap!"
A sickeningly sharp, teeth-grinding sound, like divine metal snapping, exploded!
The old man's index finger, covered in thick Qing Lin, exuded an air of confidence that it could crush stars.
The scales shattered the moment they collided with Li Qingshan's fist, and the finger bones bent unnaturally!
A piercing pain, accompanied by immense force, spread from his finger bones to his entire arm!
Ah! Your physical body!
The old man roared in pain, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He felt as if his fingers had struck a piece of divine iron forged from Chaos Stone!
"It's not over yet!"
Li Qingshan pressed his advantage relentlessly, his figure moving like a ghost as he closed in, his left arm swinging like a dragon's tail, and his elbow slammed into the old man's chest!
At the same time, he raised his right knee, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, and thrust it towards the opponent's dantian ( Bitter Sea )!
The old man was both shocked and furious. In his haste, he used his other hand to block in front of his chest while simultaneously bending his leg to parry.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled, drum-like sounds rang out almost simultaneously!
Energy ripples exploded, and the Void around the two people continuously collapsed and reformed.
The old man felt an overwhelming force, and the palm bone blocking his chest made a faint cracking sound.
The leg bone he parried was in excruciating pain and numbness, causing him to stagger back several steps uncontrollably, his blood churning, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Qingshan followed closely, his attacks like a storm! Fists, palms, fingers, elbows, knees, and legs.
Every part of his body has been transformed into the most terrifying killing weapon!
The movements were concise, sharp, and efficient, each strike containing the power to shatter mountains and split the earth, as well as the foresight to anticipate the enemy's moves under the Divine Forbidden Domain!
"Bang!" A palm strike imbued with the Sun True Fire slammed into the old man's shoulder, shattering his Qing Lin and charring his flesh!
"Boom!" As if struck in the waist and abdomen by a whip kick that seemed to turn the world upside down, the old man was sent flying like a meteor, crashing into a distant mountain peak and collapsing!
The old man roared repeatedly. He possessed immense magical power and a powerful physique at the Immortal Two Realm, yet he was completely suppressed in close combat!
The opponent's physical strength, power, speed, and unbelievable combat intuition far exceeded his comprehension!
His defense, which he was so proud of, was as flimsy as paper under the opponent's seemingly simple yet profoundly principled attack!
"So what if you have a strong physical body!"
The primordial spirit is the root! I'll destroy your sea of consciousness!
The old man went completely mad. Knowing he wouldn't gain an advantage in a physical fight, his brow suddenly glowed.
A tiny primordial spirit, identical in appearance to him, entwined with runes of the Immortal Two law, and wielding a cyan Dao sword condensed from divine consciousness, suddenly took a step forward!
With a wave of his Yuan Shen Dao Sword, a terrifying sword aura, invisible and intangible yet powerful enough to annihilate the soul of Immortal One cultivator at the Immortal level, was unleashed.
Ignoring the physical barrier, it pierced straight at Li Qingshan's Immortal Platform!
This is a spiritual attack, extremely dangerous, specifically designed to destroy divine consciousness!
However, Li Qingshan was not afraid of this vicious attack on his primordial spirit; instead, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
"Trying to teach a fish to swim!"
His Immortal Platform Secret Realm also shone brightly, and a tiny primordial spirit figure, shrouded in chaotic energy and holding a hazy jade box, stepped out!
Unlike the old man's radiant primordial spirit.
Li Qingshan's primordial spirit figure became more solid and restrained, as if it were carved from Chaos Stone, carrying an aura of invulnerability to all laws.
Facing the incoming cyan sword, Li Qingshan's primordial spirit figure did not wield any weapon, but simply threw a punch—an ordinary punch!
"Boom!"
Like a Mars, that azure sword, condensed from the old man's pure divine consciousness and Dao principles, was struck.
The moment it made contact with the fist, it was shattered from the inside! The divine power contained within the sword dissipated instantly, as if it had encountered its nemesis!
"What! Your primordial spirit!"
The old man's primordial spirit let out a terrified scream, as if it had seen a ghost.
His primordial spirit sword was so easily defeated?
Li Qingshan's primordial spirit, having gained the upper hand, became relentless, transforming into a stream of chaotic light and actively attacking the old man's primordial spirit!
With a flick of his fingers, Five-Colored Divine Light swept down, and with each collision, the old man's primordial spirit radiance dimmed a little.
It let out a painful screech, and the illusory jade box it held emitted a wave that stabilized the mind.
This caused the old man's spirit to feel as if it were sinking into quagmire, making his movements increasingly sluggish.
For a moment, in the Void, the two bodies were locked in fierce combat, each punch landing squarely on flesh, the sound of bones cracking echoing incessantly;
Meanwhile, at an even higher level of the primordial spirit, a perilous battle was taking place, with divine light scattering and the laws of the Dao wailing!
The old man was in an unprecedented predicament; his physical body was suppressed and his primordial spirit was severely damaged.
He felt like a giant with immense strength but clumsy movements, being utterly and completely overwhelmed by a highly skilled assassin.
The frustration and deep-seated fear of being completely suppressed in both physical combat and spiritual matters.
It burned the old man's Dao heart like poisonous fire, almost causing him to collapse!
He, Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure, was actually forced into such a predicament by a mere Immortal One junior!
"You brat! You've gone too far! Blow me up!"
The old man's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a hysterical roar! In a flash, he abandoned a treasured artifact without hesitation!
With a sudden flick of his sleeve, a streak of light shot out.
It didn't attack Li Qingshan, but suddenly stopped in the Void between the two.
It was an ancient bronze bell, its surface imprinted with intricate Kui Ox thunder patterns, radiating a powerful Saint Lord-level aura!
Just as Li Qingshan closed in and the force of his punch was about to hit him again, "Boom!!!"
It wasn't the ringing of a bell, but a deafening roar that ripped through eardrums and shattered the soul!
The bronze bell exploded with a deafening roar!
A terrifying shockwave, far exceeding its inherent limits, mixed with destructive energy and shattered laws.
Like the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe, it swept wildly in all directions from the center of the bell!
"Boom!"
Space shattered like fragile glass, revealing the pitch-black chaos and nothingness behind it!
The violent energy turbulence tore everything apart, and the earth below sank instantly as if it had been plowed by an invisible giant hand.
Countless rocks and vegetation were reduced to dust by this impact!
This ruthless act of self-destructing a Great Saint artifact is so devastating it could be described as earth-shattering!
Its purpose is not direct killing, but to create absolute chaos and indiscriminate regional energy storms.
Forcibly interrupting Li Qingshan's relentless and suffocating offensive, the close-quarters battle was once again separated. Li Qingshan was the first to be affected, although he had become alert the moment the bell rang, and his body was protected by Five-Colored Divine Light.
However, he was still violently thrown away by the terrifying force of the explosion that was so close at hand, his protective divine light swayed violently, and his blood and qi surged.
He used the force of the impact to steady himself in mid-air, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked towards the center of the explosion.
As the energy storm subsided slightly, the old man's figure reappeared amidst the chaotic Void turbulence.
His aura was slightly disordered due to the self-destructing magical artifact, but the madness and killing intent in his eyes burned even brighter.
"You've managed to force me to this point; you have every reason to be proud! But it all ends here! Spirit-Eroding Netherworld!"
The old man moved his hands rapidly, no longer relying on a single giant palm for attacks.
The suspended black iron seal shone brightly, and its base seemed to open a gateway to the deepest hell!
In an instant, the chaotic, scorching light that filled the sky was no longer scattered randomly, but transformed into billions of fine, jet-black raindrops that rained down from the heavens and the earth!
These raindrops not only contain the malevolent power to taint divine consciousness and corrode the foundation of one's spiritual path.
It also carried a chilling aura that could lock onto the soul, and together they subtly formed a dark killing array that covered the heavens and the earth!
The rain fell silently, yet it darkened the entire sky and caused the temperature to plummet, as if we had instantly fallen from daylight into Eternal underworld!
Every drop of "rain" was like a deadly venomous snake, coiling around and seeping into Li Qingshan from all sorts of cunning angles.
It's far more troublesome and threatening than the scattered dark light from before!
Facing the overwhelming and inescapable rainstorm, Li Qingshan's gaze remained unchanged, his deep pupils reflecting a murderous intent that filled the sky.
He formed a mudra with his left hand, and the Four Symbols Seal reappeared, but this time it evolved into the form of the Black Tortoise, which is extremely yin and cold, and is mainly responsible for defense and bearing!
A colossal, dark tortoise-shell-like phantom, seemingly formed from millennia-old ice and chaotic energy.
Like the strongest shield, it instantly enveloped the space within a hundred feet around him.
On the tortoise shell, the Great Dao Runes flowed, emanating a powerful Daoist aura that could freeze the Void and pacify all laws!
"Sizzle!"
The Spirit-Eroding Netherworld raindrops fell upon the illusory image of the Black Tortoise Tortoise's shell, but failed to penetrate it immediately.
Instead, it was quickly frozen and slowed down by the extremely yin and mysterious water energy, like rain hitting banana leaves.
It emitted a dense and chilling sound of erosion, while the dark light and the mysterious black path constantly collided and eroded each other.
At the same time, Li Qingshan's footsteps traced mysterious paths, his figure like a ghost or a swimming fish.
It sped through the gaps in the almost frozen, slowed-down rain.
His right hand, fingers joined like a sword, emitted Five-Colored Divine Light that remained concentrated at the fingertips, no longer attacking the old man's body.
Instead, it was like the most skilled craftsman, precisely targeting several key nodes of the dark killing array that shrouded the heavens and earth.
And the point where the black iron seal connects with the primordial energy between the raindrops falling from the sky!
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Where the sword passed, the Dao principles in the Void were briefly severed, and the Netherworld rain in various areas became momentarily disordered and dimmed.
It was as if he wasn't confronting this terrifying killing formation head-on, but rather calmly dismantling a sophisticated and vicious magical artifact.
Every move he made was aimed directly at the core, handled with ease, neutralizing the boundless killing intent without a trace.
The old man grew increasingly disheartened as he watched! His signature killing move, which made him famous, had been so easily restrained and even gradually dismantled by his opponent in this way!
This control over the rhythm of battle and understanding of the essence of the Dao are completely unlike what a cultivator of the Immortal One should possess!
"All Laws, Qing Lin Transform into Swords!"
The old man went completely mad, sparing no expense, and countless thick, blue scales detached from his palm.
In the Void, they transformed into countless flying swords, each shimmering with a chilling, eerie light!
The rain of swords howled, each one imbued with the laws of the Immortal Two and a trace of the King aura of the iron seal.
Tearing through the sky, it launched an indiscriminate saturation attack on Li Qingshan from all possible angles—up, down, left, and right!
This is a decisive, area-of-effect attack; it aims to overwhelm all techniques with sheer numbers and power!
Faced with this unavoidable storm of swords, Li Qingshan finally stopped his wandering movements.
He stood in the Void, facing countless sword beams, his expression remaining calm.
All phenomena are illusory, only the Tao Eternal.
He murmured to himself, Void behind him suddenly trembled!
A hazy, vast starry sky, seemingly containing all the mysteries of the heavens and myriad realms, suddenly unfolded with a thunderous roar, " Myriad Selves as One, illuminating all heavens!"
Amidst the strange phenomena, countless figures of " Li Qingshan " rose and fell, chanting scriptures and performing magic!
Their auras were perfectly aligned with their physical forms, together radiating a terrifying aura that suppressed all heavens!
The moment the strange phenomenon unfolded, countless flying swords of scales swept in.
As if it had crashed into an invisible cosmic barrier, its speed plummeted, and the light and energy on the sword flickered wildly, becoming extremely unstable!
Many flying swords were shattered or extinguished with a wave of the hand of the illusory " Li Qingshan " figure floating in the strange phenomenon!
"Now is the time!"
Li Qingshan's gaze suddenly sharpened like Heavenly Blade!
He detected a very subtle lapse in the old man's defense caused by unleashing this massive killing move.
And the moment when the black iron seal's light flickered slightly as it supported so many flying swords!
He formed a mudra with his hands in front of his chest again, at a speed that surpassed the limits of thought!
With his left hand Heaven-Overturning Seal, it seemed as if he was holding up an ancient blue sky between his fingers, his will to overturn heaven and earth concentrated to the extreme!
The right hand Four Symbols Seal, which rotates through earth, water, fire, and wind, evolving into Taiji and settling the essence of the four directions of Void!
The ultimate evolution of the Nine Secrets: Dou unleashes the full power of the Divine Forbidden Domain!
In the extraordinary phenomenon behind him, " Myriad Selves as One," the power of countless incarnations seemed to resonate with and empower his true self at that moment!
He transformed himself into the Dao, merging into the two seals, his body surging with chaotic energy and five-colored Immortal Radiance clouds!
With one step, a golden path pierced through the rain of swords beneath his feet, ignoring all obstacles.
He appeared directly in front of the old man's true form, whose expression had changed drastically in shock!
The two seals merged into one, transforming into a world-destroying celestial light that opened up chaos and reshaped earth, water, fire, and wind.
It slammed down on the old man and the black iron seal that shimmered with light in front of him!
No! My Way! My Immortal Platform!!!
The old man let out a final, desperate, and distorted roar.
He watched in disbelief as the chaotic light, which combined the essence of the Heaven-Overturning Seal and the Four Symbols Seal, shone like the first ray of dawn Heaven-Opening.
It was incredibly precise, completely ignoring all the defensive techniques he had hastily deployed.
It pierced through the remnants of the giant hand, whose energy had dissipated, and traversed the final spatial distance.
It struck directly at the core of his brow, the very essence of the Immortal Platform Secret Realm!
"BOOM!!!"
This time, it was a truly devastating roar!
The old man's Immortal Platform, the source of his life that bears witness to his lifelong cultivation and profound understanding of the Great Dao.
Under the impact of the chaotic light, it shattered like glass struck by a heavy hammer, emitting a sickeningly loud cracking sound!
Countless Great Dao Runes shattered with mournful cries, and the light of divine consciousness dimmed and vanished in an instant!
His body, burning with primal energy like a dark blue torch, suddenly froze in mid-air.
All movement, all breath, all life force ceased at that moment.
Immediately afterwards.
"Boom!!!"
Like a powder keg that had been ignited, the old man's body suddenly exploded from the inside!
Flesh and blood, bones, lingering magical power, shattered Dao principles—everything.
In the aftershocks of that chaotic light, everything was completely ground down and decomposed, turning into the finest dust and specks of light, which scattered and fell in the instant that Li Qingshan's aura subsided and the mysterious state of the Divine Forbidden Domain was about to fade.
"Buzz!"
The black iron seal that had been falling to the ground with a mournful cry suddenly exploded!
The last trace of the King law and vast energy contained within it was completely detonated, transforming into a dark light that tore through the sky.
It wasn't aimed at Li Qingshan, but rather at a highly secret location somewhere in the Void.
The dim, remnant soul, almost blending into the space, pierced through the Void in an instant.
They fled desperately deeper into the desolate mountains!
