Li Qingshan's body trembled violently, like a golden meteor struck with all its might, sliding backward for thousands of miles! Each step he took back created golden, spiderweb-like spatial ripples in the Void, which were difficult to calm down for a long time, demonstrating the immense force he had endured.
On the terrifyingly large claws of the Crocodile Ancestor, several black scales, harder than divine metal, shattered and rolled over, and dark golden holy blood gushed out like erupting lava, solidifying into beads of blood radiating terrifying energy fluctuations in the cold Void.
However, the physical pain only served to fully unleash the ancient ferocity dormant deep within his bloodline!
"His physical body can actually withstand my complete demon body? This child must not be allowed to live! He must be killed today!" The Crocodile Ancestor's killing intent had solidified into a tangible icy storm.
His massive body was agile to the point of being terrifying. His giant tail, which resembled a chain of stars, transformed without warning into a world-destroying divine whip that could shatter eternity. It swept across the waist with a destructive gale that could tear apart all laws and order, moving at a speed beyond comprehension!
At the same time, the other intact claw was bent, and the tips of the five claws were filled with dark light, which turned into five deep and cold blades that seemed to be able to cut through the membrane of the universe, sealing off all the space for Li Qingshan to dodge in all directions!
"Snort!"
Li Qingshan snorted coldly, and the "Xing" secret technique was operating at its peak at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, his figure seemed to transform into a ray of light that transcended time, like a fish swimming upstream, precisely stepping on the subtle gap in the flow of power when the giant tail swept across. His figure went from solid to ethereal, and from ethereal to nothing, disappearing from the trajectory of this fatal blow!
The next moment, he appeared like a ghost on the side of Crocodile Ancestor's enormous demonic body!
" The Four Symbols, suppressing the heavens!"
Li Qingshan made mysterious trajectories with both hands in front of his chest while chanting incantations.
In an instant, the true Lingxu of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Four Symbols Black Tortoise —the four sacred beasts—simultaneously manifested in the starry sky, condensing the corresponding four fundamental laws of earth, wind, fire, and water! The Azure Dragon roared, its dragon body coiling and binding, solidifying a large area of space; the White Tiger, the master of slaughter, tore through the densest part of demonic energy with its fierce winds and sharp claws; the Vermilion Bird cried out, its blazing fire scorching the soul perception of the Crocodile Ancestor; the Black Tortoise, deep and still, crushed its demonic body with the immense gravity of the boundless starry sky.
The Four Symbols true spirits merged instantly, forming a huge, dazzling jade box of laws that briefly imprisoned one-tenth of the Crocodile Ancestor's enormous, star-like body for a mere instant!
"A mere trick, you think you can trap me?" Crocodile Ancestor's demonic power exploded like a supernova, all the ancient runes on his black-gold scales burned, and the terrifying force caused the Four Symbols Jade Box to shake violently, flickering and threatening to shatter.
But what Li Qingshan needed was precisely this fleeting moment of opportunity!
His true form transformed into an indestructible golden lightning bolt, rushing towards the area on Crocodile Ancestor's waist and abdomen where the power of the Four Symbols had suppressed the area and the luster of his scales had dimmed slightly.
Without using any magical treasures, he used only his fists, which shone with immortal golden light, to unleash the physical power of his Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo and the offensive essence of his Battle Saint Method to the extreme, pouring down like a storm!
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!!!!"
The extremely dull impact sound was like the world-destroying drum used by the ancient Divine Court to announce the change of eras being struck continuously. Each sound was extremely heavy, piercing through the Void and spreading towards the distant stars.
That was the most primal, brutal, and devastating collision between the purest power and the most solid defense in the universe!
With each punch, the scales on Crocodile Ancestor's body caved in deeply, the runes shattered, and dark gold blood shot out from the cracks, blooming into tragic and cruel blood flowers in the starry sky.
Close-quarters combat, or hand-to-hand fighting, is the most dangerous and also the most direct way to measure the essential difference in the two people's level of life.
With his Saint Realm, Li Qingshan, wielding his Great Saint- level Sacred Body Dao Embryo, managed to unleash his own ferocious and unparalleled offensive rhythm against Crocodile Ancestor, the fully manifested ancient demon saint!
Crocodile Ancestor's black-gold scales, forged through countless ages of battles and tempered to be harder than the core of a star, possessed a defense nearly immortal. However, under the ferocious bombardment of Li Qingshan's attack, which incorporated the Yuanshi Great Dao and was fully activated by the Great Saint- level Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, it began to groan in despair, unable to bear the strain.
Fine yet alarming cracks spread across the surface of the scales. Dark golden demon saint blood, like magma suppressed for millennia, continuously shot out from the cracks. Each drop was incredibly heavy, piercing through the cold Void and creating tiny black holes that were difficult to heal for a long time.
"Roar! It hurts so much!" Crocodile Ancestor roared in pain, its roar shaking the stars.
The extreme pain and humiliation caused his ferocity to completely overwhelm his reason.
He forcefully twisted his massive, star-like body, ignoring the secondary damage caused to his demonic body by the suppression of the " Four Symbols Suppress Heaven " law, and brazenly opened his abyssal maw, large enough to swallow a small planet in one gulp!
A foul and filthy torrent, seemingly containing all the negativity and decay in the universe, surged and engulfed Li Qingshan, who was standing nearby!
This is the " Foul Blood of All Spirits " formed by the Crocodile Ancestor after devouring and refining countless living beings, using its resentment, filth, and deathly laws. It is specifically designed to destroy sacred radiance, corrupt the spirituality of magical treasures, and corrode the primordial spirit's foundation, making it one of the most insidious ancient demonic arts.
"A mere trick, yet you dare to show it off? The Five-Colored Divine Light can sweep away anything!"
Faced with this vicious and filthy divine power, which was enough to make even Great Saint of the same level frown and retreat, Li Qingshan remained calm and unleashed another world-shaking technique that he had comprehended since he began cultivating.
The Void behind him suddenly exploded, and five dazzling divine lights—azure, yellow, red, black, and white—that seemed to contain the primordial Dao of the Five Elements, shot into the sky!
This divine light was neither qi nor radiance, but resembled both light and sword, and was like five primordial rivers that traversed the universe and divided Yin-Yang! Facing the overwhelming, filthy torrent of black water, the Five-Colored Divine Light simply swept lightly across its front!
The " Foul Blood of All Spirits," which was enough to pollute the Great Saint's body and erode the origin of stars, was like winter snow meeting the scorching sun, or ink dripping into clean water, making a "hissing" sound as if the laws were being forcibly stripped away and annihilated the moment it came into contact with the Five-Colored Divine Light!
The countless resentments, malevolent stench, and corrosive principles contained within the tainted blood were rapidly restored under the cleansing power of the Five Elements.
Originally the most primordial and peaceful primordial energy of heaven and earth, it was immediately absorbed and assimilated by the Five-Colored Divine Light, which then nourished itself!
The divine light did not diminish in the slightest; in fact, it became even more dazzling after absorbing some of the pure primordial energy. It surged upwards like five swords of order that Heaven-Opening, sweeping back towards the Crocodile Ancestor's gaping maw!
"What?" For the first time Crocodile Ancestor's bloodshot eyes revealed undisguised horror! He never expected that his most treasured, vile divine power would be so easily defeated.
In a flash, he had no time to use any other spells or supernatural powers. He could only rely on his fighting instincts, abruptly shutting his mouth and simultaneously slamming his forehead, covered by the hardest scales, forward, attempting to forcefully confront the strange five-colored radiance.
"Clang!!!!"
Like two Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon colliding at the dawn of the universe! Indescribably dazzling Mars shot out from the point of impact, instantly illuminating the dark starry sky for tens of millions of miles around, as if briefly creating an ocean of light.
Terrifying sonic waves and ripples of law swept in all directions, shattering a distant asteroid belt.
As the light faded, a deep, pale mark, almost severing the Crocodile Ancestor's forehead—the very forehead that had once shattered stars—was clearly visible. Fine lines of the Five Elements were constantly eroding its edges, bringing excruciating pain that pierced the very soul.
"The Great Divine Power of the Primordial Five Elements? It can so easily annihilate my Nine Nether Yellow Springs Baleful Qi?" Crocodile Ancestor's mind was shaken, and a chill rose from his spine.
The opponent's methods were endless, and each one was mysterious and unpredictable, effectively countering his demonic magic.
In that instant when his supernatural powers were broken and his mind was intimidated, Li Qingshan made a move! He activated the "Movement" secret technique to an unprecedented and profound level.
His figure began to blur and overlap, as if it were no longer stable in the current space and time.
Bizarre fragments of time began to appear around him: stars igniting in chaos, ancient stars collapsing in old age, plants withering and flourishing year after year, and silhouettes of civilizations rising and falling. He seemed to have stepped into the shallows of the river of time, his figure becoming elusive in the gap between "past," "present," and "future," transcending the constraints of the single timeline of the present world.
"Old crocodile, take this blow that transcends time!"
Li Qingshan's voice became ethereal and grand, as if it came from ancient times, echoed in the distant future, and whispered in the present moment. The three voices overlapped, creating an eerie and unpredictable effect.
His true form seemed to have completely merged into the dimension of time, disappearing from the Crocodile Ancestor's perception.
In the next instant, he stepped out from the "Shadow of the Past," where the Crocodile Ancestor's defenses were weakest and the connection of their energy was broken!
The image was clearly the brief moment when the Crocodile Ancestor had just spat out black water, his old strength exhausted and new strength yet to be generated, and his mind was violently shaken by the backlash of the Five-Colored Divine Light!
The punch was unleashed, seemingly ordinary, but on the fist's edge, there were clearly translucent chains of divine laws, as if they were solidified from time itself!
This punch not only attacked the spatial location where Crocodile Ancestor was currently situated, but its power and Daoist essence also traveled back along the timeline, refining...
It quasi-connected and bombarded the flaw in the moment of "past"! This is the ultimate evolution based on the secret word "" involving the secret of time, and it can be called a forbidden killing move!
"Puff!!!"
Crocodile Ancestor's enormous demonic body, as large as a mountain or a star, was struck head-on by an ancient meteor shot from the source of time! The rolling demonic energy protecting its body and the solid Dao principles were easily pierced through by the power of time, like mist under the blazing sun.
The fist force, imbued with the Yuanshi Dao and the laws of time, slammed into the vital part of his demonic body's chest without any hindrance!
"Snap!"
Amidst the teeth-grinding sounds of bones cracking and armor shattering, the black-gold scales on the Crocodile Ancestor's chest, harder than divine iron, exploded into a massive blood hole tens of feet in diameter!
