The High Person Tianzhen's expression changed drastically, causing those present to feel apprehensive. What in this realm could possibly frighten an ancient immortal like the High Person Tianzhen?
The High Person Tianzhen's face turned pale and then flushed. After a while, he suddenly laughed, "Good! This kid is even more capable than me. Back then, I was just... um, I never expected him to dare destroy Mist Star Cold Woman's home. I... I..."
Qian Shanyong and the others were all stunned. Chiming asked incredulously, "Destroy... home?" He looked at the Extremely Profound Ice Eye, a planet made of profound ice, and couldn't understand it at all.
He knew that with Li Qiang's strength, it was impossible for him to destroy this planet. Even if everyone joined forces, including High Person Tianzhen, they might not be able to do it.
With a bitter expression, High Person Tianzhen released his Divine Sense to examine the situation carefully. He wanted to confirm that what he had just experienced was purely an intuitive feeling.
Upon closer inspection, he immediately realized something was terribly wrong.
The High Person Tianzhen was also a person of great Divine Ability. His Divine Sense quickly probed into the Xuanbing layer. In less than a minute, he withdrew his Divine Sense, waved his tattered robe sleeves, wrapped everyone present up, and quickly rose into the sky.
The High Person Tianzhen's face grew even uglier. "This kid, I don't know what method he used, actually managed to blow up the Yinlong Mystic Qi... I... he... this kid is the most audacious fellow I've ever seen."
Qian Shanyong stammered, "He... that... how could he possibly have destroyed the Yinlong Mystic Qi? That's extremely cold Mystic Qi... impossible..."
The High Person Tianzhen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Ignorant fool! As long as he unleashes the Extreme Yang Divine Spirit Instruction, even a tiny bit of it is enough to cause a massive explosion of Yinlong Mystic Qi! The core Mystic Qi is uncontrollable and unrestrained... Hmph, Mist Star has suffered a great loss this time."
The earth of the Extremely Profound Ice Eye began to tremble, and thick white mist rose from the icy ground. High in the sky, it could be clearly seen that the towering ice peaks began to collapse one after another, and the white mist spewing from the ice caves shot straight up, with a roar that resounded through the sky.
A strange smile appeared on the face of the High Person Tianzhen, and his eyes seemed to reveal a hint of appreciation.
Qian Shanyong said worriedly, "I wonder if they can escape?"
Tianzhen chuckled, "Hehe, they just can't escape... To destroy such a huge planet, wow, and it's even the lair of the Mist Star, they must feel really good about it..."
Chiming said, "What's there to be afraid of if we can't escape? My elder brother is immortal. At most, he'll get a little injured, but he has plenty of elixirs and miraculous medicines."
Xuan Long shook his head and said, "Immortality? That's just talk. In this realm, true immortality is impossible."
The High Person Tianzhen said, "Hmm, immortality is indeed just talk, but with his cultivation level, dying would be incredibly difficult... We'll prepare to provide backup. Haha, I've already sensed the little guy using his Divine Spirit Instruction to crack the ice layer! Wow, that's awesome! The Extremely Profound Ice Eye is doomed now! We'll escape as soon as we get backup; getting hit by this ' Yinlong Mystic Qi' is really unpleasant."
Qian Shanyong asked, "How do we provide support?"
After pondering for a moment, the High Person Tianzhen said, "You few go first and set up some barriers ahead... Don't worry, those barriers won't stop me. I'll wait here. Hmph, I'm so pitiful, these old bones of mine still have to do such heavy work..."
Without saying a word, Qian Shanyong turned around and left with Xuan Long, Dainan Fengyu, and Chiming.
Once the High Person Tianzhen starts complaining, it can drive people crazy.
Li Qiang used a powerful restriction to crack open the ice layer and flew rapidly outwards, with the collapse behind him following closely behind.
Mo Huaiyuan began to have doubts. He channeled his inner energy and shouted, "Brother Qi, what's going on behind us? I think something's wrong!"
Qi Zhongjunsha, channeling his inner energy, "I don't know what happened either, it seems the entire core exploded!"
The continuous roar forced them to shout as they spoke.
Li Qiang heard it too, and he was slightly surprised: he hadn't done anything, so how could the core have exploded? But this also reminded him to hurry up and get out. Whether it exploded or not, being trapped in the ice layer was no fun.
While pondering more powerful methods of creating restrictions, he continued to use the great restriction to crack the mysterious ice.
The speed at which Li Qiang and his two companions escaped was already extremely fast, but the collapsing Xuanbing layer behind them was not slow either. If they were delayed even slightly, they would be caught up. Moreover, it was obvious that the collapse was accelerating. If they were caught by the Yinlong Mystic Qi behind them, they would be severely injured, if not killed.
Fortunately, Li Qiang had just entered the Seven Star Heaven Realm thanks to the Adversity-Crossing Divine Pill, and had enough power to use powerful restrictions; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to escape faster than the explosion.
Li Qiang disregarded the risk of accidental explosion; his intuition told him that falling into the Yinlong Mystic Qi would have consequences far worse than a self-destruction.
He frantically manipulated the Divine Spirit Instruction. In his current state, he was confident that he could tear apart any obstacle in his path. He was truly invincible, capable of slaying gods and Buddhas alike. The Xuanbing layer was no match for him at all.
Li Qiang shouted, "Brother! Master, help me!"
Qi Junsha roared, "My good disciple, tell me quickly! How can you help!"
Li Qiang shouted, "Set up a barrier behind us to block the incoming pressure! I need time!"
Qi Junsha and Mo Huaiyuan simultaneously used their immortal swords to connect the three of them.
Mo Huaiyuan shouted, "Brother, you set up one layer, then I'll set up another. Use your best restrictions, don't let your brothers laugh at us two old fogies!"
Qi Junsha burst into laughter. "Haha, he'll definitely take this opportunity to laugh at this old man! Oh dear, I won't give my good disciple that chance! Watch me!"
Countless Jingjing, pale blue, flat, round objects flew out from his body and attached themselves to the ice wall behind him. Qi Junsha activated his Immortal Spirit Instruction, and those flat, round objects immediately expanded, blocking the passage behind him. Almost simultaneously, the Mystic Qi that was rushing over also arrived.
Mo Huaiyuan then set up a second layer of restrictions.
Qi Junsha suddenly cried out, "This is outrageous! My restrictions have had absolutely no effect! I..."
As he cried out, Mo Huaiyuan set up a second barrier, but it was also unable to block him.
He realized that the collapse wasn't just in that small section of the ice cave, but in the entire ice layer. No matter what kind of restrictions they used, it would be a waste of time, because the restrictions they issued couldn't possibly stop the collapse of the entire ice layer.
Qi Junsha suddenly understood. Embarrassed to shout any longer, he quietly transmitted his voice to Li Qiang, saying, "My good disciple, the restriction is completely ineffective. It looks like we'll have to escape at all costs."
Li Qiang knew things were in deep trouble. The fact that Qi Junsha and Mo Huaiyuan, with their combined strength, said the restriction was completely useless meant that the core of the Yinlong Mystic Qi had truly exploded; otherwise, it would have been impossible for the two Loose Immortal to be helpless.
Li Qiang felt a chill run down his spine, but at the same time, the state of Heart of Extreme Movement also gave him an unparalleled thrill.
He also had a Divine Spirit Instruction he hadn't dared to use. It was a Divine Spirit Instruction recorded in the Beiye Heavenly Scripture, and Li Qiang had a deep impression of this technique called the Mortal-Breaking Ultimate Technique.
According to the Beiye Heavenly Scripture, this hand seal is used to unlock one's own potential and is a great Divine Ability to remove all constraints. Moreover, this Divine Spirit Instruction that Mortal-Breaking Ultimate realm is extremely complex, with a total of 360 moves. If even one move is missed, the seal will lose its effectiveness.
Li Qiang had no idea how much Divine Ability Law Power this hand seal might possess.
Gradually, the speed at which the Xuanbing layer behind them collapsed was about to catch up with Li Qiang and his companions. Mo Huaiyuan transmitted his voice to Qi Junsha, saying, "Hehe, Brother Qi, it seems we are doomed. If the Yinlong Mystic Qi catches up later, you follow him, and I will slow down the collapse. From now on, I'll rely on you to take care of my little brother..." Seeing the approaching Mystic Qi, Mo Huaiyuan was determined to fight to the death.
Qi Junsha glared and transmitted her voice, "If anyone's going to fight, it'll be me! Hmph, I'm still his master..."
Li Qiang had just finished performing a dozen hand seals. He released a wisp of his Divine Sense to probe behind him and knew that he wouldn't be able to outrun the Mystic Qi behind him before flying out of the Xuan Ice layer. He decided to try using the Mortal-Breaking Ultimate. No matter how it worked, it was better than watching the Mystic Qi catch up with him.
He roared, "Big brother, master, are you ready? Watch me unleash my ultimate move!"
He appeared spirited and confident, seemingly unconcerned about the Mystic Qi behind him.
Mo Huaiyuan and Qi Junsha were already used to Li Qiang's endless stream of clever tricks. They exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.
Qi Junsha transmitted his voice, "Forget it, brother. If one of us doesn't get out, the other two will be dragged down with us."
Mo Huaiyuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He knew Qi Junsha was right. No matter who fell into the Mystic Qi, the other two would turn back and desperately try to save them. Given Li Qiang and Qi Junsha's temperaments, they would absolutely not watch themselves fall in.
Mo Huaiyuan really didn't want all three of them to get involved, so he transmitted his voice, "Fine, since I know you two brothers, let's live and die together."
Just now, the dozen or so restrictions had cracked a huge ice fissure in front of him. Li Qiang didn't have time to think much. He quickly formed the Divine Spirit Instruction Hand Seal and activated the Great Divine Ability of Mortal-Breaking Ultimate. This required him to form 360 hand seals in succession, without missing a single one.
Li Qiang was completely absorbed in the complex and ever-changing hand seals, his movements as fast as lightning. Time was running out; the layer of Xuanbing, which had been cracked by the restriction, was about to reach its end.
Starting with the first hand mudra, there are three sections, up to the one hundred and twenty hand mudras.
The first stage of the hand seal was completed very smoothly, and Li Qiang felt his divine Divine Yi Power surging out like a raging tide.
Qi Junsha noticed clear divine incantations appearing on Li Qiang's Evolving Incantation Divine Armor, transforming into countless colorful stripes that swirled around him. He exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, what is that?"
Mo Huaiyuan couldn't understand it either. He transmitted his voice, "Don't let him get distracted. This seems to be some kind of ancient restriction. I don't understand it. Be careful, hold on tight to him, and make sure he doesn't fall out!"
The second stage of the hand seals began, and Li Qiang was still able to handle it with ease.
Another 120 hand seals were unleashed, and the already unstable ice layer emitted a sharp, piercing cracking sound, as if the entire ice layer was about to shatter. Mo Huaiyuan and Qi Junsha were dumbfounded; they had never seen such a terrifying technique before.
Immediately afterwards, Li Qiang began the third stage of the hand seal.
This time it was much harder; each hand seal consumed a large amount of his Divine Yi Power, and his speed gradually slowed down.
With each hand seal Li Qiang completed, a bright golden star flew out, accompanied by a series of thunderous sounds. Gradually, the golden stars disappeared into the Xuanbing wall along with the thunderous sounds.
As they approached the end of the Xuanbing layer, Li Qiang still had more than a dozen hand seals to complete.
Seeing that things were going badly, Mo Huaiyuan and Qi Junsha simultaneously fired their immortal swords. They knew that doing so would destroy their swords, but they still cleared a path for Li Qiang without hesitation.
Mo Huaiyuan shouted, "I'll go first! You go second!"
His immortal sword had already pierced through the ice wall, and before he could even shatter it, he released the Immortal Spirit Instruction from his hand.
A series of explosions blasted a deep hole in the ice that was blocking his way, and his immortal sword was completely destroyed as a result.
Immortal swords are usually bound to their masters by life and death. When the immortal sword exploded, Mo Huaiyuan was also severely injured. He immediately became weak and almost fell off the cliff. Fortunately, Qi Junsha was quick to catch him.
Before Qi Junsha could even unleash the devastating power of his immortal sword, Li Qiang had already completed the third stage of his incantation.
Because Mo Huaiyuan desperately broke through the passage, gaining a moment, Li Qiang was able to complete the last ten or so Divine Spirit Instruction.
A blinding light emanated from Li Qiang's body as he roared, "Hold on tight! Don't let go!"
The surrounding ice shattered as if it were soft tofu being struck by an iron hammer.
Li Qiang sped forward like a rocket, turning everything he touched into smoke. Dozens of seven-colored rays of light surrounded him. Qi Junsha gripped Li Qiang's shoulders tightly, her eyes wide, shouting incoherently.
The High Person Tianzhen's Divine Sense swept across the surface of the Xuanbing layer again and again, as he waited for Li Qiang to appear.
Qian Shanyong and the others had already flown to a very far place and began to set up layers of restrictions.
Suddenly, the High Person Tianzhen sensed something was amiss. In a flash of light, he flew above a half-collapsed ice peak, muttering to himself, "Strange, how does this little fellow possess such Divine Ability? It seems to be a technique that Mortal-Breaking Ultimate... Wow, who taught him this Divine Spirit Instruction...?"
The High Person Tianzhen could no longer remain still and flew rapidly into the sky.
He was well aware of the power of the Mortal-Breaking Ultimate. Although he didn't know the hand seal, he had witnessed its power before. Even he couldn't withstand being hit by the Mortal-Breaking Ultimate, and he couldn't afford to lose face like that.
Before he could fly very far, the ice peaks below burst open.
A large amount of white mist burst forth, and the entire Xuanbing layer collapsed amidst violent tremors. A frantic howl came from the white mist, and a golden light leaped out from the mist, accompanied by a deafening roar. Countless seven-colored rays of light surrounded the golden light and rapidly rose into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, this Xuanbing Star, whose core was composed of Yinlong Mystic Qi, exploded.
In an instant, everyone who could see this planet was stunned. It was a cataclysmic explosion that made people feel their own insignificance and fragility.
A pale white radiance instantly spread out, and the Yinlong Mystic Qi flying out from the core flew out like bullets, drawing countless pale blue streaks in the air.
With the protection of the Mortal-Breaking Ultimate, all the Li Qiang Qi from the Yinlong Mystic Qi that shot towards them were deflected.
The instant he flew out of the ice layer, Li Qiang was so excited he almost went mad. He had finally escaped on his own, and he released his extreme joy in a long howl.
Mo Huaiyuan and Qi Junsha suddenly felt the pressure on their bodies ease, and the deafening explosion suddenly disappeared, leaving only Li Qiang's long howl.
The two looked at each other with satisfaction and smiled. Qi Junsha suddenly said, "Haha, this is good for reincarnation. My disciple is even more powerful than his master. After the reincarnation, I, this old man, will feel more at ease. Haha."
Mo Huaiyuan smiled slightly. He was severely injured and would not recover for several decades. He had no confidence at all that he could be reincarnated.
The High Person Tianzhen followed Li Qiang and ascended into the sky, shouting, "Little fellow! Follow me!"
Upon seeing High Person Tianzhen, Li Qiang exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Tianzhen?"
High Person Tianzhen called out, "Quickly follow me, the Mystic Qi will soon contract..."
Knowing that High Person Tianzhen was very powerful, Li Qiang followed him and fled into the distance without hesitation.
Countless fragments of mysterious ice shot out, continuously impacting Li Qiang and High Person Tianzhen. Suddenly, a piece of mysterious ice crashed in from behind, and Qi Junsha couldn't help but scream. It was a piece of mysterious ice as big as a mountain peak.
The High Person Tianzhen shouted, "Don't move!" With a flick of his tattered robe, he transformed the three people and the books into streaks of light and vanished.
High Person Tianzhen appeared behind Qian Shanyong and the others, accompanied by Li Qiang and the other two. He excitedly shouted, "What are you all waiting here for? Run!"
Teleportation is not suitable here. Only ancient immortals like High Person Tianzhen and High Person Mist Star would dare to teleport casually. Even if others have the cultivation of Luo Heaven High Immortal, they would not dare to act recklessly.
There are strange restrictions everywhere here, and many uncertain dangers. That's why High Person Tianzhen told everyone to run away quickly. Although he could teleport everyone together, it would greatly increase the danger, and he was unwilling to take that risk.
This time there were many more people. High Person Tianzhen was in front, followed by Li Qiang with Mo Huaiyuan and Qi Junsha, and then Qian Shanyong, Xuan Long, Dainan Fengyu and Chiming. There were eight people in total, truly a large and powerful group.
Immortals rarely gather together, and their appearance in such a large group is extremely rare in this realm.
After flying for about ten minutes, the High Person Tianzhen said, "Alright, everyone stop and watch the show! Wahaha, I really can't imagine Cold Woman's expression when she sees her lair blown up... Ah... Haha, it must be so much fun! Waaah, I'm having so much fun..."
He darted about incessantly in the air, his excitement leaving everyone in disbelief. Was this really the behavior of an ancient immortal?
The exploding planet seemed to stop expanding. With the appearance of a thick black vortex, all sound disappeared, and space became quiet and peaceful.
High Person Tianzhen pointed and said, "Look, it's shrunk!"
As the black vortex spun rapidly, the flying ice suddenly stopped its outward impact, and the illustration book and the ice all came to a stop in mid-air.
Li Qiang exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? It got sucked back in!"
The High Person Tianzhen said smugly, "That's right, because the Yinlong Mystic Qi was activated, the expanding power blew the planet apart, haha. However, the characteristic of Yinlong Mystic Qi is that it contracts, so after reaching its limit, the Yinlong Mystic Qi will begin to gather and contract again, haha, it will soon form a new Xuanbing planet. It's just that Cold Woman's original home was destroyed. How about that? Isn't that amazing?" He seemed extremely excited.
Everyone clearly felt a tremendous suction force pulling them toward the planet. Fortunately, this suction force was not a problem for these experts, and they were able to break free by balancing the forces slightly.
Li Qiang then realized that something was wrong with Mo Huaiyuan and hurriedly asked, " Big Brother Mo, what's wrong... Oh, I understand." He immediately took out a Withered Green Divine Pill, crushed it with his Divine Yi Power, and at the same time made a hand seal to send the Withered Green Divine Pill into Mo Huaiyuan's body.
Mo Huaiyuan was Loose Immortal without a physical body, so Li Qiang's treatment was extremely effective. Moreover, the Withered Green Divine Pill he used was a rare spirit medicine, and Mo Huaiyuan immediately tasted its benefits. He immediately closed his eyes to cultivate.
Li Qiang laughed and said, "Master, you have high hopes for Big Brother Mo."
High Person Tianzhen exclaimed in surprise, "This little fellow is your master? Wow, your strength is enough to make you his ancestor, haha!"
Qi Junsha blushed deeply after being rebuked by the High Person Tianzhen. He rolled his eyes and said irritably, "What business is it of yours whether I become his master! If you're so capable... find someone more powerful than you to be your disciple!"
When it comes to being sharp-tongued, Qi Junsha and Li Qiang are quite a match; the master and apprentice are a pair of bickering rivals.
The High Person Tianzhen was speechless after Qi Junsha's words. He thought about it and realized that it made sense. It was easy to find someone worse than himself to be a disciple, but it was practically impossible to find someone better than himself.
Thinking about it this way, he had nothing more to say, only letting out unpleasant laughter, his eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.
Qian Shanyong admired Qi Junsha quite a bit; it was indeed courageous for a Loose Immortal to speak to an ancient immortal like High Person Tianzhen in such a manner.
He said to Li Qiang, "Brother, now that we've rescued your master and elder brother, we're heading to the Ancient God Repository. It'll probably be even more lively there."
The High Person Tianzhen leaped onto the heads of the crowd and exclaimed, "Yes! Yes! We're going to the Ancient God Repository! Ah, this should be the last chance to open it. According to my information, all the experts who could go have gone, and what I've been dreaming of is inside. I'm sure I can seize this opportunity!"
Li Qiang found it a bit puzzling. He wasn't particularly interested in the Ancient God Repository, but rather in the Gu Xing trapped inside.
He said, " Tianzhen, thank you for coming to save me. We're even now. Whether I go to the Ancient God Repository or not is none of my business. However, I'm going to find Lord Gu Xing. I'd like to have the chance to meet those extraordinary figures." There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
Xuan Long knew best that what Li Qiang truly wanted was the Heaven-Defying Treasure Mirror controlled by the Gu Xing; everything else was secondary. However, he had a lingering doubt: would Li Qiang remain unmoved upon seeing the true Ancient God Repository?
Even the Azure Emperor has been mobilized this time, and many old guys who have never been seen before have also appeared. The opening of the Ancient God Repository is probably going to be quite a spectacle.
Chiming flew over to Qi Junsha with a grin, peeking out and saying, "Hehe, we meet again. How about I, the Devil Venerable Chiming, call you 'brother'? I've been cultivating for much longer than you."
Qi Junsha exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, you're the Devil Venerable Chiming? Strange, I don't recognize you." Then, she shrugged indifferently and said, "You're Old Devil, call me whatever you want."
Chiming laughed triumphantly, but before he could say anything more, Li Qiang slapped him on the back of the head.
Li Qiang looked at him with a half-smile and said, "What kind of Demon Venerable is this! You and I are both cultivators of gods. Does that mean that just because you call me Master, I should call you Senior Uncle?"
Chiming was startled. He hadn't expected Li Qiang to notice him. He immediately scratched his head, looking aggrieved, and said, "Aren't we each handing out our own things? But if Big Brother calls me 'Uncle-Master'... Wahaha, I'll be so happy!" He darted to the side, laughing smugly.
Qi Junsha chuckled and said, "My dear disciple, having a brother like this must be quite a headache. Hmm, from now on you'll call me Uncle-Master. I'll acknowledge you as my nephew!"
Li Qiang suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone, " Xiao Ming, come and greet your senior uncle!" The tacit understanding between him and Qi Junsha was unparalleled.
Chiming was immediately devastated. He said with a bitter face, "Uncle-Master it is then. Sigh, I should have known better than to say it. Uh... Greetings, Uncle-Master."
Qi Junsha was just joking; he felt uncomfortable if Chiming actually called him "Master Uncle." He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's just keep our own friends." Only then did Chiming grin; he cared most about his ranking.
Qi Junsha thanked Xuan Long again, and the two chatted for a few minutes, both expressing their relief at surviving such a calamity.
High Person Tianzhen suddenly turned around and said, "Little fellow, you're in trouble."
Countless blue starlight appeared all around, and a figure gradually emerged.
Li Qiang smiled bitterly to himself; the High Person Mist Star had returned.
