Great Demon Qijing's Ultimate Attack!
Looking at the Taiyi Early-stage Golden Immortal cultivation displayed on his attribute panel, Lin Yunji felt utterly helpless.
Breakthroughs in cultivation realms were practically coming wholesale. Wasn't he advancing far too quickly?
He had only found one Heavenly Scar Fragment so far, which meant there were still forty-eight he hadn't found. If every one of them gave him a massive amount of cultivation, then he...
Lin Yunji immediately felt a headache coming on!
Of course!
As troubled as Lin Yunji was by how quickly he had broken through realms, he couldn't help marveling at how terrifying the Hongmeng Art truly was.
Even though he was only a Taiyi Early-stage Golden Immortal, his Law Power was clearly comparable to that of a Late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, something stirred in Lin Yunji's heart, and he turned to look at the horizon.
He saw a streak of light flash across the horizon at incredible speed. In just a moment, it arrived before him.
It was a middle-aged man at the Late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
The middle-aged man wore an arrogant expression. Behind him, overlapping images intertwined, resembling seven small worlds, while a vast cloud of Yao Qi shrouded his body.
His gaze was icy, numbing anyone it touched.
This being had come with ill intentions. Lin Yunji looked at him too, and something came to mind.
Great Demon Qijing!
The great demon was famous for hundreds of millions upon millions of miles around and was a powerhouse in the region. Not only was he powerful, but he was also known for his cruel methods. Some held him in awe, while others feared him.
Lin Yunji had once been surrounded by the wolf demons under his command.
He hadn't paid it much mind at the time, never expecting to actually run into Qijing today!
Great Demon Qijing stood in the air and reached out to grab Lin Yunji from a distance.
Lin Yunji's figure flickered, and he dodged.
But Qijing had only pretended to grab him. Instead, he seized the bear demon's corpse behind him in one hand.
"Rumble!"
At the sight of the corpse, which had long since gone cold, Great Demon Qijing flew into a rage. His Qi and Blood surged, and a cold, terrifying pressure radiated from him, frightening countless spirit birds and spirit beasts into flight. Some were even frightened to death on the spot.
Who would have thought Great Demon Qijing would be so terrifying when enraged!
Qijing's face was dark and his gaze vicious as he stared at Lin Yunji and demanded sharply, "Brat, was it you who killed Old Bear?"
"What if I did? What if I didn't?"
Lin Yunji glanced at him, his gaze not even holding a trace of contempt. It was as if Qijing were merely an insignificant being who couldn't draw the slightest bit of his attention, even while standing right before him.
Seeing how little Lin Yunji seemed to care, Great Demon Qijing was truly provoked!
As a great demon renowned throughout the region, when had he ever been ignored like this? Lin Yunji's conduct had already touched his reverse scale!
"Brat! You've got some nerve!"
As soon as he spoke, Great Demon Qijing's Demon Power surged within him. His Law Power swept forth mightily, rushing into the seven images behind him that resembled small worlds. The images swelled, and Yao Qi soared into the sky, roaring straight at Lin Yunji!
Lin Yunji was puzzled. With such a low cultivation, how could Qijing imitate a Sage and create worlds?
How was that possible?
Looking closely, Lin Yunji discovered the deception. The seven small worlds had not been constructed from Principles; they were merely demon creatures in disguise.
"Brat, I'll give you a choice: kneel and kowtow, and when I'm satisfied, I might take you under my command. Otherwise, pay for Old Bear's life with yours!"
Seeing that Lin Yunji was still standing there, Qijing threatened, "You don't look like a fool. You should know what to choose, don-"
"Bang!"
Before he could finish, Lin Yunji's immense Law Power had already swept forward, lifting a mountain peak that towered into the clouds and smashing it toward Great Demon Qijing.
He had answered with action!
"Hmph!"
Great Demon Qijing snorted coldly. With a shift of his gaze, he used his Law Power to brush the mountain aside. The giant peak struck the ground, smashing a massive crater into it.
Without even moving, he had easily neutralized Lin Yunji's attack.
"Brat, if you choose to court death, don't blame me for showing no mercy!" Great Demon Qijing said furiously, his Yao Qi surging to the heavens.
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned his Law Power and charged straight at Lin Yunji.
Lin Yunji didn't back down in the slightest and advanced to meet him.
In an instant, they were locked in battle.
Their fight was truly fierce. Boundless Law Power clashed and surged out in all directions.
Technique after technique collided fiercely in the air, causing the winds and clouds to change abruptly and the mountains and seas to tremble. Black clouds churned overhead, while countless rivers, mountains, and lofty peaks across the land were caught in the fighting and shattered to pieces.
Tens of thousands of weak beings were also caught in the fighting and died miserable deaths.
Lin Yunji was a Taiyi Early-stage Golden Immortal, still a long way from Great Demon Qijing's Late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Yet judging solely by the strength of their Law Power, they seemed evenly matched, or perhaps the former even had a slight edge.
Thus, even when they clashed head-on, Lin Yunji didn't fall at a disadvantage in the slightest.
Time flew, and Lord Qijing found himself shocked by Lin Yunji instead. He discovered that the mere Taiyi Early-stage Golden Immortal brat he had originally dismissed possessed such immense Law Power that it seemed inexhaustible, like fresh water from a spring, pouring forth in a continuous stream without the slightest sign of running dry.
"Y-you, just who are you?!" Great Demon Qijing demanded with a shout, his face dark.
After several exchanges, he began to take Lin Yunji seriously.
The strength Lin Yunji had displayed far exceeded that of a normal Taiyi Early-stage Golden Immortal cultivator, and was more than enough to surpass Qijing himself.
In that case, how could he believe Lin Yunji had no powerful background?
"I'm your granddaddy!" Lin Yunji burst into a hearty laugh, the words tumbling straight out at Great Demon Qijing.
Great Demon Qijing snorted coldly. "Arrogant brat, even if your combat strength is extraordinary, you're still just a greenhorn. Stop boasting!"
With that, he held nothing back and unleashed his ultimate attack!
At a thought, the seven false worlds floating behind Great Demon Qijing expanded. They spun rapidly, linking together one after another and transforming into an evil cloud that descended over Lin Yunji's head.
A tidal wave of evil spread for hundreds of millions of miles, blotting out the sky and the sun and plunging heaven and earth into darkness.
"Rumble!"
The next instant, some of the seven false worlds transformed into expanses of water, some into seas of fire, and others into thunderbolts of immense force... Several kinds of power merged and attacked Lin Yunji together.
Great Demon Qijing had finally brought out his strongest move!
"Excellent!"
Facing such an attack, Lin Yunji's eyes shone, and he grew even more excited. With a thought, he brought out all twenty-four Sea-Calming Spirit Pearls.
The twenty-four spirit pearls floated in the air, linked end to end to form a ring. Each pearl radiated waves of precious light, illuminating a small space within the cloud of utmost evil.
At the same time, Lin Yunji activated his Law Power. The twenty-four spirit pearls spun faster and faster, cold light flashing as they struck straight at the seven false worlds suspended behind Great Demon Qijing.
In just a moment, two of the worlds could no longer withstand the assault and shattered. They turned into black fragments, let out piercing shrieks, and dissipated.
"No!"
As the two false worlds broke apart, Great Demon Qijing cried out and violently spat a mouthful of black, foul blood. His face suddenly took on a somewhat aged appearance.
Clearly!
Lin Yunji's destruction of the two false worlds had inflicted considerable injuries on him.
"Brat! You dared injure me! Don't even think about leaving alive! Your life is mine!" Great Demon Qijing's face twisted. With a sinister laugh, he roared at the top of his voice.
"Bang!"
But the next moment, Lin Yunji watched as the five remaining false worlds behind Great Demon Qijing shattered one after another, turning into clouds of black Qi that dispersed completely into the air.
"That's it?"
Lin Yunji hadn't expected that Great Demon Qijing, who had been so arrogant just moments ago and sworn to take his life, would suddenly dart far away, transforming into a streak of light that vanished in a flash.
Whatever Secret Method he had used, he had escaped hundreds of millions upon millions of miles in an instant.
Even if Lin Yunji wanted to pursue him, he could no longer find any trace of him, so he could only give up with considerable regret.
