The old monk's final words, along with his golden body that had completely merged with the ancient ship, transformed into a resolute golden stream of light, surging fiercely towards the bottomless, now empty of seawater, filled only with endless darkness and resentment— the Demon Sea Eye! The ancient ship, carrying the golden bodies of five hundred Arhats, like the last colossal stone mending the sky, with a martyr-like tragic grandeur, crashed into the entrance to the all-devouring abyss!
"Foolish!" Crocodile Ancestor coldly watched this scene. "They're about to be completely annihilated, yet instead of finding a propitious place to preserve their remains, they insist on filling this broken hole."
He slowly turned around. His black and gold armor gleamed with a cold and hard luster in the rising morning light, making him appear as if he had been forged by a demon god, his majestic figure exuding a terrifying and suffocating aura.
Her long black hair danced wildly in the dusty morning wind, and her blood-red eyes, like the sharpest knives, were coldly fixed on Li Qingshan.
"Even ants didn't take the opportunity to escape." His voice was calm, yet colder than the dead of winter. "Just now, you dared to show murderous intent towards me? So what if you have a special physique? So what if you have an extraordinary destiny? Insects like you who don't know their own limitations, I can crush a whole bunch of them with one foot!" His words were full of absolute contempt. Having dealt with that troublesome ancient Buddha, he had no more scruples in this star field that he considered to be long gone.
"Now," Li Qingshan raised his eyes, calmly meeting those blood-moon-like eyes, his voice clear and steady, "It's our turn."
"Haha!" Crocodile Ancestor seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing, and his laughter shook the surrounding area. "A slightly grown insect dares to bark at a god who soars through the nine heavens? Even if you try your best to raise your head, you can't see the height of my toes!"
You are not worthy to be my enemy!
After speaking, he displayed his boundless Dharma body and supernatural powers. His body expanded and enlarged rapidly in an instant, reaching the sky and standing tall, with demonic energy sweeping across the heavens.
Then, he raised a giant foot that resembled a black mountain, with a terrifying aura that could crush stars and trample all things, and casually and indifferently stomped down on Li Qingshan, who was like a speck of dust below!
The movements were incredibly natural, as if one were casually stepping over a clump of wild grass by the roadside while walking.
In his eyes, Li Qingshan, who Saint Realm, was no different from a real ant and did not need to be treated with any respect. The difference between their realms was like the difference between clouds and mud, which was a cruel reality and the root of his arrogance.
Facing the terrifying stomp of the Crocodile Ancestor, which was like an ancient demonic mountain collapsing and carrying the force of crushing stars, Li Qingshan's eyes suddenly blazed with cold light, like a heavenly sword being drawn from its sheath! He no longer held back in the slightest. Although his body did not move much, his aura underwent a Heaven-Overturning transformation in an instant.
"Buzz!!!"
Infinite holy light spurted out from every pore, containing a golden brilliance as sharp as the creation of the world! The mysterious and unpredictable secret runes of "" under his feet flashed away like a river of stars. He did not retreat, but left several afterimages intertwined with solidity and illusion. Each afterimage exuded an energy that was almost consistent with his body, disrupting the perception of time and space.
Its true form seemed to merge with the Great Dao of the Void, its existence becoming ethereal and uncertain. This caused the Crocodile Ancestor's stomp, which had been like a shadow and Calming the Mind, to suddenly lose its clear target. With immense power, it stomped into the air, turning the land for hundreds of miles below into dust and stirring up a dust storm!
At the same time, the Wuji Apricot-Yellow Flag that always hung above its head fluttered in the wind, hanging down with countless thick strands as heavy as the Milky Way and myriad laws.
The impenetrable Xuanhuang Mother Qi, in strands and wisps, enveloped his entire surroundings, forming a Saint Realm of absolute defense.
To defeat this ferocious ancient demon saint, Li Qingshan not only wanted to win, but also wanted to personally and thoroughly crush its arrogance of regarding all living beings as ants under his feet!
"Old Crocodile!" Li Qingshan's voice boomed like thunder from the heavens, clearly piercing through the roaring energy, "Eleven years ago, you regarded us as mere ants, relentlessly hunting us down. Today, I'll let you, you Old Gu, open your eyes and see clearly what the shifting of offense and defense truly means, and what the cycle of Cause and Effect is!"
Before he finished speaking, he stopped suppressing himself. The vast and unparalleled blood and energy unique to his Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo finally erupted without reservation!
That was the terrifying power contained within a real, undeniably forged physical body that had already entered the realm of the Great Saint!
"Boom!!!"
Golden blood energy erupted within him like a thousand dormant Solar Divine Furnace! A divine pillar, as thick as a mountain and purely formed from blazing golden blood energy, shot up from Li Qingshan's crown chakra, piercing the heavens, dazzling and radiant, supremely yang and powerful!
Its brilliance instantly ripped open a huge, uncloseable hole in the thick black mist that had enveloped the heavens and earth, formed from the Crocodile Ancestor's demonic energy. A sacred and scorching aura spread out, scorching the surrounding Void, causing it to crackle and twist violently, as if it could not withstand the pressure of this life-level power.
"What?" For the first time, a clear look of astonishment and shock appeared in the blood-red eyes of Crocodile Ancestor, which were always cold and cruel like ice.
He clearly sensed that the scale and quality of that blood and energy were far beyond what an ordinary human Saint could possess! That blood and energy was as vast as a starry sea, as pure as the beginning of the Dao, and carried a supreme Dao charm that made even the depths of his soul feel uneasy. It was impervious to all laws and indestructible through countless eons, as if it represented the ultimate in physical cultivation! This aura actually made his proud demon saint body, which had been tempered by blood and fire for thousands of years, feel a long-lost stinging pain and sense of oppression!
" Great Saint -level physical body? This, how is this possible! A mere eleven years!" Crocodile Ancestor's mind was shaken, as if he had been struck by an invisible hammer.
However, he was, after all, an ancient demon saint who had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and his fighting instincts were already ingrained in his very bones.
The shock lasted only a moment, and the killing move immediately changed! The giant foot that had stumbled and fallen abruptly retracted, its five fingers spread wide, and with a surge of demonic power, it transformed into a gigantic black claw that tore through the sky and enveloped the surrounding wilderness! The claw imprint was as large as a mountain, covering the heavens and the earth, its five fingers like hooks, and at its sharpest point, the Void automatically cracked with fine black marks, accompanied by an extremely shrill and mournful sound of ghosts and gods wailing. It was the manifestation of the killing laws and the resentment of the unjustly killed contained within the claw imprint, as if it wanted to grab and crush Li Qingshan along with the monstrous blood energy that made him uneasy!
"Well done! Let this frog in the well see what the Yuanshi Great Dao is all about!" Li Qingshan roared, his voice washing away the demonic aura.
Faced with the terrifying demonic claws that Shrouding the Heavens and were entangled by vengeful spirits, he not only did not dodge or avoid them, but instead took a step into the Void and took the initiative to meet them head-on!
He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers forming an ancient and unadorned mudra that seemed to embody the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.
Limitless Seal!
The moment the seal was formed, all was silent! It wasn't that sound disappeared, but rather that the laws themselves entered a deeper state of stillness.
In front of the fist imprint, the spatial structure, the flow of time, the overflowing energy, and even the violent demonic power and ferocious killing laws contained in the Crocodile Ancestor's claw imprint all became "slow" and "blurred" in an instant. Then, as if forcibly pulled and retraced by an irresistible force, they collapsed towards the " Limitless " origin point where heaven and earth were not yet separated, Yin-Yang were not yet distinguished, and chaos and ignorance were not yet established!
The terrifying, dark claw, powerful enough to shatter stars, seemed to have crashed into an invisible, all-consuming "swamp of the Dao," rapidly descending, its sharpness diminished, and even the wailing of the vengeful spirits swirling around its claw tip became weak and feeble.
Crocodile Ancestor's blood-red eyes contracted violently, and a sense of alarm erupted in his heart like a volcano!
"Roar!" He roared, his voice shaking the galaxy. He dared not hold back any longer, unleashing a torrent of boundless demonic power from his body. The ancient runes on his black-gold armor lit up, attempting to forcefully overwhelm it with an absolute torrent of power.
Break free from the shackles of this strange and unpredictable " Limitless " Dao Domain.
However, Li Qingshan's offensive was like the Yangtze River, relentless and unstoppable!
Just as the Crocodile Ancestor was struggling desperately, Li Qingshan drew a perfectly formed, mysterious arc in the Void in front of him.
Yin-Yang Seal!
As the arc was formed, Yin-Yang separated, and the Great Dao manifested! On the left side of the arc, a blazing white and dazzling light, like the core of the sun, suddenly emanated, extremely Yang and strong, Burn Heaven and Boil the Sea, specifically suppressing all Yin and evil influences; on the right side of the arc, a dark and deep cold tide, like the origin of the Nine Netherworlds, extremely Yin and cold, freezing the soul and extinguishing life force.
These two energies, Yin-Yang, are not simply parallel, but instantly form a perfectly flowing, mutually dependent Taiji vortex!
At the center of the swirling vortex, a terrifying crushing pressure, powerful enough to obliterate everything, was generated! As if it possessed a life of its own, it actively coiled around and absorbed the giant claw of the Crocodile Ancestor, which was struggling to break free from the Limitless restraints!
"Sizzle!!!!"
A tooth-grinding sound, as if metal and stone were being forcibly ground and annihilated by extreme force, erupted! The Crocodile Ancestor Saint's claws, covered in black and gold scales that were powerful enough to withstand Inherited Saint Weapon, were visibly worn away and dimmed the moment they came into contact with the Yin-Yang Taiji vortex!
The divine luster of the black-gold color rapidly faded, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable burden.
An even more bizarre force eroded upwards along the claws and arms, half of it being the scorching Yang fire that burned the soul, and the other half being the freezing Yin cold current that froze the bloodline. The alternation of Yin-Yang directly invaded the source of the demon saint, causing his powerful body to tremble violently, his blood and qi to boil, and him to feel indescribably uncomfortable.
"Roar! How dare you, junior, bully me?" Crocodile Ancestor was both shocked and furious. The last trace of contempt in his heart vanished completely, replaced by solemnity and savagery in the face of a formidable enemy of the same level.
He suddenly unleashed his demonic energy, as if detonating an ocean of demonic power. A massive black wave exploded outwards from his body, forcefully dispersing the swirling Yin-Yang vortex.
At the same time, a burst of dark light flashed beneath his feet, and he instantly retreated hundreds of miles, choosing to temporarily avoid the opponent's sharp edge for the first time in a head-on confrontation.
In this first direct confrontation in his human form, he actually suffered a significant setback in his most confident physical strength and close-quarters combat!
"So you've already retreated? An ancient demon saint, nothing more than that?" Li Qingshan's voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling sarcasm.
