Chapter 1571: Puppet Beast

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Qingfeng stopped his steps and asked Black Puppy, “Puppy, do you hear that sound?”

Black Puppy raised its two dog-ears and flapped them in an attempt to hear clearly.

Shortly after, Black Puppy said, “There is a very delicate creeping sound, right around where we are.”

Sky-Devouring Snake suddenly waved its tail and pointed forward, saying, “Look, there is something coming towards us.”

Qingfeng grew concerned as he looked forward. There was a massive humanoid creature before them with a body nearly two meters tall. However, it wasn’t a human; it was a massive puppet beast.

Puppet beasts were very rare in the self-cultivation realm. They were made of wood, but not any average wood. It was wood gathered from demonic trees that have trained in wood style cultivation techniques, so they were a rare earth treasure.

These cultivated demonic trees were extremely rare, so every tree was very precious.

In the ancient era of earth, the Puppet Sect once was a powerful self-cultivation sect. However, they had been eradicated in the war. The whole sect had been killed, while some of the puppet beast techniques had been lost.

Qingfeng never thought that on the third floor of this Pope’s Pagoda, there would be a long-lost puppet beast.

In the next moment, Qingfeng’s heart filled with anger, because he knew that the puppet beast creation process must have been stolen from the Eastern self-cultivation realm, or else they wouldn’t have been able to create it.

Creech creech creech….

Loud creeping sounds echoed throughout the entirety of the third floor, and suddenly ten puppet beasts stood up from the ground.

There were large piles of wooden materials, and planks, which had formed together into several puppet beasts.

These puppet beasts were very tall, but they didn’t emanate any demonic beast or human energy. However, one could feel the powerful physique and heavy defenses they had as their large feet stomped loudly onto the ground.

Black Puppy was the first to walk in front of Qingfeng, releasing its demonic vital essence, waving its paws, and heavily slapping the puppet beasts.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Black Puppy’s paws bounced back, leaving no mark on the puppet beast’s body.

Sky-Devouring Snake beside it refused to believe that the puppet beasts were this hard to deal with. It also whipped out its tail and charged towards the puppet beast. However, once it made impact with the puppet beast’s chest, it sounded loudly, but its tail was bounced back.

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake looked at each other with concern. It was the first time that they’ve ever met puppet beast with defenses that strong.

Qingfeng frowned; he was just inspecting and noticed that these puppet beast weren’t only built with spiritual wood.

There were defensive talisman script arrays sculpted on the puppet beast’s chest and limbs. That was why Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake couldn’t destroy them.

Qingfeng stopped the two when he saw that Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake wanted to continue attacking.

“Stop attacking you two, you can’t break their talisman script array, so let me do it.” Qingfeng smiled lightly and walked forward.

Qingfeng knew that in order to defeat those puppet beasts in front of them, he had to crack the talisman script formation on their bodies.

Luckily, the talisman script array on these puppet beasts weren’t so strong, only emperor level talisman script arrays, and were within Qingfeng’s range of understanding.

Qingfeng closely inspected these talisman script arrays, and because the distance was a bit far, he couldn’t see very clearly, so he walked forward towards the puppet beast.

The puppet beast heavily smashed its fist towards Qingfeng.

Qingfeng’s face changed as he reached out his right fist and grabbed onto the puppet beast’s fist. Then he used clairvoyance, shooting two rays of golden light shot out of his eyes onto the puppet beast, and saw through all of the flaws on its talisman script array.

In the blink of an eye, Qingfeng noticed the flaws in the puppet beast’s talisman script array.

Qingfeng noticed that all of the puppet beast’s flaws were all underneath its right armpit.

That position was extremely hidden, and most people would not notice it.

Undeniably, whoever sculpted the wooden talisman script array on the puppet beast was very talented and powerful. The sculpted flaws were extremely well hidden.

However not only did Qingfeng understand talisman script knowledge, he had also awakened clairvoyance and could see all within a meter.

Therefore, in a very short time, Qingfeng had very easily found the flaws on the puppet beast’s talisman script.

Qingfeng held the puppet beast’s fist and raised it by ninety degrees to expose its armpit.

Then Qingfeng waved his left hand to form a massive finger that forcefully pointed forward and poked a massive hole into its armpit.

All of a sudden, the black gleam on the puppet beast disappeared just as the wooden talisman script array on it disappeared.

The puppet beast was now an empty wooden case; it no longer had any techniques or defensive power.

Qingfeng waved his right fist, punched forward, and shattered the puppet beast’s body into countless pieces that disappeared in the sky.

The ten several other puppet beasts on the side were all made from rare spiritual trees, without any consciousness or souls, they had no feelings of fear. Even though the two puppet beasts before them had died, they still continued to charge at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng had already found the flaws in these puppet beasts, which helped immensely. His body formed into a shadow that appeared beside these several puppet beasts.

Every time, Qingfeng would use his right hand to hold the fist of the puppet beasts, and then lift it ninety degrees, and poke their armpits with his left finger. It directly cracked the flaws in their armpit talisman scripts.

Then, Qingfeng would conjure a massive fist to shatter their bodies into countless pieces.

Shortly after, these puppet beasts all died, and the third floor space was filled with shattered pieces of wood.

Saladin was on the 18th floor, and through the big white mirror, he could see all that happened on the third floor. He frowned as his eyes filled with shock.

Qingfeng was too powerful, and this completely exceeded Saladin’s expectations.

Chapter 1572: Illusion Array

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

“Your Highness, Qingfeng is too powerful. We must think of something,” said a woman in black as she appeared from behind Saladin.

This woman in black was very beautiful with an attractive face, white skin, a tall nose, and blue eyes like blue gems that glowed with stars.

In addition, this woman in black wasn’t very old, at most twenty some years old, with a beautiful figure.

However, she was completely wrapped within this black robe like a witch, as her body released cold energy that was completely opposite from Saladin’s light energy.

This woman in black was referred to as the Black Sword, the Great Executioner of the Pope’s Pagoda, who controlled the dark side. She was a fierce sword Saladin used to suppress ferocious beasts and didn’t usually appear. If Qingfeng hadn’t reached the third floor, she wouldn’t have showed up.

In the Tiger Continent, the Great Executioner represented death, an existence more horrific than vampires.

Saladin smiled lightly and said, “The previous Pope disappeared because of Qingfeng, which is why I managed to acquire this position. I know of Qingfeng’s power but don’t worry. The fourth floor has an illusion array and is controlled by the three-tailed fox.”

The woman in black nodded when she heard Saladin.

They’ve already noticed Qingfeng’s immense power and that he was well versed in talisman scripts. However, they believed that Qingfeng might not understand array knowledge, and that an illusion array could block him.

After Qingfeng killed the puppet beast on the third floor, he led Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake towards the fourth floor.

Not long after, they reached the fourth floor, but when they pushed open the door, Qingfeng’s face changed.

The floor was filled with fog, reducing visibility by a lot. Qingfeng couldn’t even see Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake before him.

He realized that the fog could also block off sounds, since Qingfeng failed to hear Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake as well.

Qingfeng had encountered things like this before, so he knew that there must be an array creating the white fog.

He channeled the spirit energy inside his brain to keep himself awake. Then, he raised his right foot and began walking forward.

Qingfeng walked very fast, traveling several hundred meters only after a short while. However, Qingfeng noticed that no matter which way he went, he always ended up in the same spot.

This was no ordinary white fog; it contained some Eight Trigrams laws. Unless they found the gate of birth, also known as the gate of life, there was no way of getting out.

As Qingfeng was just preparing to crack this white array, he heard a familiar voice ring out from behind him.

“Qingfeng, I miss you.” A crisp alluring voice sounded from behind Qingfeng.

Qingfeng seemed excited when he heard this voice, as he turned around and saw Ruyan Liu, just as he had imagined.

Ruyan was now wearing a black dress and was very beautiful. Her pretty face blossomed like a rose as her eyelashes fluttered with sentiments. She quietly walked towards Qingfeng with love in her eyes.

“Ruyan, are you okay? Where have you been?” Qingfeng asked Ruyan with excitement in his voice, clearly with unsettled emotions.

Qingfeng came here in search of monarch grade vitality stones to find Ruyan, but who knew that he would see her here. His heart was filled with excitement.

Ruyan’s eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of coldness as she quietly approached Qingfeng with excitement. She quickly arrived before Qingfeng and poured herself into his arms.

However, no one had noticed that the fingernails on Ruyan’s right hand grew out with green light that tore through the air as her hand plunged towards Qingfeng’s heart.

At the time of emergency, the Black-White Millstone in Qingfeng’s mind shook as it released two rays of black-white light that erased the illusion image of Ruyan from Qingfeng’s mind.

At the next moment, Qingfeng’s eyes gained clarity, as it shot out two rays of golden light onto Ruyan’s body and showed her real appearance.

This was not Ruyan at all, but an illusion of her constructed by a three-tailed fox.

“Dammit, it’s an illusion array! I’ve been tricked,” Qingfeng cursed to himself with great anger.

Qingfeng figured that he had fallen for the three-tailed demonic fox’s trick because he missed Ruyan too much. It had taken advantage of his feelings and greatly angered him.

In the next moment, Qingfeng’s hair raised as he felt a strong surge of danger.

The three-tailed fox disguised as Ruyan raised its sharp claws and charged towards his heart.

Qingfeng wanted to dodge it, but it was too late. He hurriedly activated his Mortal Purgatory Body, as his body released golden light. It looked as if he was forged by gold.

Snap!

With a loud sound, the three-tailed fox disguised as Ruyan clawed at Qingfeng’s body, scraped his skin, and even grabbed at his bone inside.

This claw was far too sharp, even Qingfeng’s golden skin couldn’t block it.

However, under the emergency, Qingfeng’s Mortal Purgatory Body still came of use and protected his heart from harm.

“You damn demonic fox, how dare you disguise yourself as Ruyan to trick me! I’ll kill you,” Qingfeng cursed loudly with anger in his eyes.

Qingfeng directly waved his right fist to form a Fire Palm that heavily slapped onto the three-tailed demonic Fox’s body, sending its body flying out.

The three-tailed fox screamed out in pain and returned to its original appearance. This was a white demonic fox with three tails.

Its fur was snow white, and the white fog was being released from its body.

The three-tailed fox’s eyes were both white with no black iris, as it coldly stared at Qingfeng with anger.

The demonic fox opened its mouth and spat out a sonic wind blade toward Qingfeng.

Qingfeng smiled coldly. How dare it use a sonic spirit attack in front of him? His spirit energy had already reached the ninth level of the spirit emperor realm and was very powerful. The demonic fox was practically begging for death.

Qingfeng opened his mouth and shouted, “Third Roar – Lightning Lion.”

Three golden sound wave lions appeared before Qingfeng as it released light that charged forward as fast as lightning. It immediately arrived before the three-tailed fox and directly scattered the sonic wind blade.

Seeing her sonic attack was easily blocked by Qingfeng Li, astonishment appeared in the three-tailed fox’s bright eyes.

“Human, I didn’t expect that you can also use sonic attacks. But you are still not my match,” the three-tailed fox sneered.

Wagging its three tails at the same time, it opened mouth and issued a sharp sound. From its mouth jumped out a sonic fox.

The three-tailed sonic fox was at least 100 meters long. It moved very fast and was before Qingfeng Li instantly.

Without hesitation, Qingfeng Li channeled his spirit energy and spat out another sonic lightning lion.

The sonic lightning lion released black thunder and lightning with loud crackling noises. Its power was so great that it blackened the sonic demon fox before turning it into a puff of smoke.

Seeing Qingfeng Li’s powerful spirit energy, the three-tailed fox’s face changed sharply, knowing its sonic attacks were no match for Qingfeng Li. It immediately turned to run.

Of course, Qingfneg Li wouldn’t let it escape since it was the guardian demonic beast of the fourth floor and only its death could break the illusion array.

Qingfeng Li released the Black-and-White Millstone from his mind. As soon as the millstone came out, it trembled with excitement because it sensed the great power of the three-tailed fox’s spirit.

The Black-and-White Millstone liked spirit energy the most, especially that of a demon fox.

The millstone shot out two beams of light, one black and the other white. They shot into the three-tailed fox with tremendous force, causing it to scream pathetically.

At the next moment, the spirit energy of the three-tailed fox was completely absorbed by the Black-and-White Millstone. It dropped heavily onto the ground and died.

With its death, the white mist and illusion space on the fourth floor disappeared and everything became clear again.

With one glance, Qingfeng Li found that Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were not far from him wandering around in a dazed state. The two godly beasts kept smiling stupidly as if they had seen their dream lovers.

After the white mist scattered, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake woke up from the daze.

They exchanged an embarrassed glance because they had both seen the females they liked in the illusion and had heard each other’s love talk.

Black Puppy gave Sky-Devouring Snake a hard stare and threatened, “Little snake, if you tell anyone what I just said, I won’t forgive you.”

Sky-Devouring Snake sneered, “Puppy, you do the same and don’t tell others about what I said just now.”

The two guys were worried about how to keep their silly secrets.

Although Qingfeng Li had heard the conversation between the two godly beasts, he was not in the mood to mind their business.

He had to rush to the eighteenth floor immediately and acquire the emperor-grade vitality stones to unlock the Crimson Fire Array. Only then could he go to the high-tier planet of Mars and rescue Ruyan Liu and Little Apple.

Qingfeng Li led Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake out of the fourth floor and dashed toward the fifth floor.

They were very fast and came to the fifth floor shortly.

The entrance of the fifth floor was guarded by a powerful fierce beast, but Qingfeng Li killed it easily.

The sixth floor, seventh, eighth, ninth…

Leading Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake, Qingfeng Li barged into the sixth, seventh, eighth, and the higher floors one after another, killing all the guardian demon beasts on each floor.

Nothing stopped Qingfeng Li until he reached the seventeenth floor.

The obstacle was a red-cloaked cardinal named Alad, and he stood there while emitting a powerful presence.

“Qingfeng Li, you dared to barge into the Pope’s Pagoda, the base camp of our western gods. You are asking for your death by intruding here,” Alad looked at Qingfeng Li and said coldly.

Alad was very arrogant because he was the representative of the heavenly gods in the human world. He didn’t think Qingfeng Li was worthy of his attention.

Qingfeng Li was indifferent to Alad’s haughty glance. His words were even more arrogant. “Yeah, I am tired of living, but no one has the power to kill me yet. I’d like to see you try, but I’m afraid the dead one will be you.”

With a sneer, Alad didn’t answer, and he directly took out a scepter from his interspatial ring.

It was a red scepter over three meters tall, one meter taller than Alad himself. It was five centimeters thick and on the surface were engraved complicated patterns.

The patterns were the tadpole-like language on the ancient era and only people like Qingfeng Li who had learnt talisman scripts could decipher them.

Qingfeng Li had seen the godly talisman scripts on the gate of the Pope’s Pagoda when he entered it. Those talisman scripts had been deciphered and broken by Dark Night Emperor.

Qingfeng Li was startled to see that Alad’s scepter also had godly talisman scripts engraved on it.

He knew that with his current strength, he couldn’t break the godly talisman scripts.

Alad waved his scepter which formed a hurricane storm.

The hurricane storm was very powerful. Like a giant tornado, it swept through the seventeenth floor and arrived before Qingfeng Li instantly. It was faster than light.

It was too fast for Qingfeng Li to block. The giant tornado wind edge crashed onto him viciously and sent him flying backward. He flew dozens of meters before crashing into a wall heavily. Dazed, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Was it the power of the godly talisman scripts? It is too powerful for me to block.” Qingfeng Li thought as he struggled to stand up and wipe blood off his mouth.

Qingfeng Li transmitted a message to Dark Night Emperor, “Senior, Alad has a godly scepter in his hand, and there are godly offense talisman scripts engraved on it. I am no match for it. You must help me.”

Dark Night Emperor nodded, saying, “Of course. Qingfeng Li, I will help you find the flaws of the talisman scripts engraved on the godly scepter and then you can break it by attacking those points.”

Exhilaration appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He knew with help from Dark Night Emperor, he would definitely defeat Alad, the red-cloaked cardinal.

Chapter 1574: Breaking the Sky God Scepter

“Qingfeng Li, you are not my match. You’ve killed many western self-cultivators, but today is your death date,” Alad looked at Qingfeng Li and said coldly.

He swung the Sky God Scepter at Qingfeng Li repeatedly and each time he swung it, it issued a white beam of light.

The light beam pierced the space and exploded the air with tremendous force, arriving upon Qingfeng Li instantly and sending him flying.

Saladin and the woman in black stood on the eighteenth floor, looking pleased with themselves when they saw Qingfeng Li had been beaten.

The woman in black said, “Lord Saladin, Qingfeng Li is absolutely no match for the Sky God Scepter. He will be killed by it.”

Saladin nodded his agreement, thinking that Qingfeng Li would soon be killed by the powerful attacks of the Sky God Scepter.

Although Qingfeng Li was sent flying backward and was slightly wounded, he was not afraid or worried. On the contrary, he was a little excited because he could take this opportunity to observe the Sky God Scepter closely.

He sent out the soul of Dark Night Emperor to observe closely the godly talisman scripts on the Sky God Scepter.

As an ancient era saint, Dark Night Emperor was very smart and powerful, even though he was only in his soul form.

A moment later, he found the weakness on the Sky God Scepter.

“Little one, the Sky God was very careful when he made the Sky God Scepter. There is only one weakness on it and it is on the bottom of the scepter. You can shatter the scepter by attacking its bottom.” Dark Night Emperor transmitted a message to Qingfeng Li.

Hearing Dark Night Emperor’s words, Qingfeng Li calmed down.

Knowing the place of the Sky God Scepter’s weakness, Qingfeng Li could now launch his attacks instead of stumbling around like an aimless fly.

Since he couldn’t fly, Qingfeng Li dashed toward Alad.

When he ran, Qingfeng Li experienced a greater suppression from the power of faith. His skin cracked, and his blood splattered out.

Qingfeng Li suppressed the sharp pains in his body and moved close to Alad. He reached out his right hand and grabbed the Sky God Scepter.

The godly talisman scripts on the surface of the Sky God Scepter were like sharp daggers cutting deep into Qingfeng Li’s palm.

Even though Qingfeng Li had cultivated the Mortal Purgatory Body and his skin was hard as gold, he was still no match for the Sky God talisman scripts. The difference in power between them was too great.

“Qingfeng Li, you are so bold that you actually dared to grab the Sky God Scepter. It will destroy your palm.”

Alad was the strongest red-cloaked cardinal under Saladin and one of the most powerful masters in the Pope’s Pagoda. His Sky God Scepter possessed great power and was one of the most powerful spiritual treasures and holy devices here.

An ordinary self-cultivator would never have dared to touch the Sky God Scepter because even the most powerful spiritual treasure, no matter if it was a sword or a saber, would be broken by the Sky God Scepter as soon as they made contact.

If a self-cultivator’s hand or foot touched the Sky God Scepter, they would be destroyed as well. But now, when Qingfeng Li grabbed the Sky God Scepter, his hand only bled but didn’t break.

Grabbing the scepter with his left hand, Qingfeng Li channeled his vital essence and tightened his grip.

His right hand extended suddenly and transformed into a vital essence palm. The palm slammed viciously at the bottom and the weakest point of the Sky God Scepter.

With great alacrity, Qingfeng Li’s vital essence palm slammed onto the bottom of the Sky God Scepter before Alad knew what was happening. With a cracking sound, the bottom of the Sky God Scepter cracked.

“Shoot! How did you know the weakness in the godly talisman scripts?” Alad asked in astonishment.

“Alad, do you really think your Sky God Scepter is invincible? It’s such a joke that I can easily break it with my hand.” Qingfeng Li sneered, his eyes full of contempt.

Qingfeng Li had broken the weakness in the godly talisman scripts on the bottom of the Sky God Scepter with his hand. Now all the talisman scripts on the scepter disappeared and the scepter dimmed.

Then Qingfeng Li added his right hand onto the Sky God Scepter and gripped hard.

Crack!

With a cracking sound, the hard Sky God Scepter was broken into two halves and dropped onto the ground.

Seeing Qingfeng Li break the Sky God Scepter, the expressions of Saladin and the woman in black changed greatly.

They had been certain that Qingfeng Li would be killed by Alad, but the turn of events was a slap on their faces.

They were stunned by Qingfeng Li’s victory.

It must be noted that the talisman scripts engraved by the Sky God on the Sky God Scepter were refined by the Sky God himself and contained unimaginably great power. Even a spirit supreme realm master was no match for the Sky God Scepter.

But Qingfeng Li was only a spirit emperor and he had easily destroyed the Sky God Scepter. His power exceeded everyone’s expectation.

Not only Saladin and the woman in black, but Alad, the red-cloaked cardinal on the seventeenth floor, was stunned. His eyes were full of disbelief.

The Sky God Scepter had been with Alad for a long time and was his most powerful spiritual treasure with which he had killed countless self-cultivators and suppressed countless fierce beasts.

It was an integral part of Alad’s combat capabilities and had formed a connection with his spirit.

After the Sky God Scepter was broken by Qingfeng Li, Alad’s spirit was also wounded. He looked pale and listless and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Qingfeng Li, you jerk. You destroyed my Sky God Scepter and I will kill you for it.” Clenching his fists, Alad’s eyes were full of killing intent and fury.

He channeled the vital essence in his body and swung out his right fist, which transformed into a white bright godly fist and slammed toward Qingfeng Li viciously.

The bright godly fist aimed at Qingfeng Li’s heart, intending to punch a hole in his heart.

Qingfeng Li didn’t move. With a slight smile, he stood there calmly without a bit of fear.

Seeing Alad’s fist was almost upon him, Qingfeng Li whipped out his right palm, and as fast as a flash, grabbed Alad’s fist.

Chapter 1575: The Woman in Black

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Qingfeng Li’s right hand gripped hard, and with a cracking sound, Alad’s fist was broken and blood gushed out, exposing the white bones inside.

Alad screamed and his face twisted with pain.

“Qingfeng Li, release my fist.” Alad looked at Qingfeng Li as his face distorted with fury.

His fist was broken by Qingfeng Li and the white bones were exposed in the air. Sharp pain distorted his face.

“Let you go? Aren’t you naive?” With a cold smile, Qingfeng Li continued his hard grip.

Crack! Crack! Crack…

With loud cracking sounds, Alad’s wrists, arms, and chest bones were all shattered by Qingfeng Li.

Alad screamed pathetically when all his bones were shattered. He dropped onto the ground like a pile of soft noodles.

Black Puppy curled its lips, saying, “The screams are too harsh on my ears. Kill him.”

Sky-Devouring Snake nodded his agreement. Neither of them liked Alad.

“Whoever dares to block me must die.” With a faint smile, Qingfeng Li walked over and splattered Alad’s head with his right foot. Then he walked toward the eighteenth floor.

Without sparing a glance at Alad, Qingfeng Li left his body where it was.

Saladin and the woman in black on the eighteenth floor had seen everything through the dharma mirror. They furrowed their eyebrows tightly, furious at Qingfeng Li’s cruelty and cold-bloodedness.

“Damned Qingfeng Li shouldn’t have killed Alad. I won’t forgive him for it.” Saladin was so enraged that his eyebrows stood vertical.

Beside him, the woman in black released sharp sword aura which formed a black light column shooting up high into the clouds. She stood there like a goddess of murder, ready to kill and destroy everything before her.

Boom!

The gate to the eighteenth floor of the Pope’s Pagoda was pushed open and Qingfeng Li strode in.

WIth his first glance, Qingfeng Li saw Saladin and the woman in black who were standing in the center of the hall.

And they both were wearing the clothes of the representatives of the Sky God, both of them emitting overwhelming aura.

“Exceutioner, go and kill Qingfeng Li,” Saladin told the woman in black.

She nodded and walked toward Qingfeng Li.

Black Puppy frowned and warned, “Qingfeng Li, the woman in black is the Chief Judge of the Pope’s Pagoda and her power is only comparable to that of Saladin himself. She is very powerful, and her cross sword can cut open time and space.”

Qingfeng Li nodded, knowing that any person who could stand beside Saladin was powerful. She must be more powerful that the red-cloaked cardinals.

Besides, he sensed a danger from the woman in black, a rarity for Qingfeng Li.

The woman in black walked to face him, looking at him with indifference, arrogance, and contempt.

She extended her right forefinger and drew a cross in the air.

The cross condensed into two sword auras, one black and the other white. They dashed toward Qingfeng Li with such great speed that even time had stopped.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed sharply. He tried to shift his body to dodge but his body was frozen for a second.

In the battle of self-cultivators, one second could decide life and death and the attack from the woman in black carried unimaginable strength.

Qingfeng Li knew that he couldn’t dodge because his rival had frozen time and space with the cross sword technique and thus restricted his body movement.

The only thing Qingfeng Li could do was defend.

He channeled the vital essence in his body and formed a golden protective light shield which shined like a mini burning sun.

The cross sword technique was so powerful that it cut through the golden protective light shield, causing it to dissipate in the air like sparkling golden light.

Then the cross sword technique continued forward and cut a cross-shaped wound in his chest. Blood gushed out of the wound and his white bones and red flesh were exposed to the air.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed sharply, and he spewed a mouthful of blood. At the same time, his body was freed.

Without hesitation, Qingfeng Li retreated quickly.

Black Puppy had warned him about the great power of the cross techniques.

Qingfeng Li had prepared himself carefully for it but was still wounded by his rival.

Hurriedly, he took out a healing elixir pill from the interspatial ring and put it into his mouth.

The elixir transformed into an intense burst of medicinal energy and travelled down his throat and into his meridians, healing the wound on his chest.

“Your skin and muscles are really hard. Anyone who was attacked by my cross sword technique would have been cut into four pieces. But you were just wounded by it.” Surprise appeared in the eyes of the woman in black.

The cross sword technique enjoyed great reputation in the world of western self-cultivators and its power was just next to that of the Pope. It possessed unimaginable power which could freeze time and space.

Qingfeng Li smiled coldly and chilling lights flashed in his eyes.

Although he was wounded by the cross sword technique, he had understood the attacking method of it, which was freezing time and space before cutting the enemy’s body open with powerful sword aura.

Qingfeng Li had cultivated the third Conqueror’s Finger – Ceasing Time, which could stop time and space for one second. It had the same effect as the cross sword technique of the woman in black.

But in the previous attack, Qingfeng Li didn’t have time to use it. Now he would give the woman in black a surprise with this trump card of his.

As a return of her attack, Qingfeng Li decided to freeze her body this time.

Instead of retreating, Qingfeng Li initiated the attack. As fast as a flash of lightning, he was before the woman in black.

“Third Finger Ceases Time.” With a yell, Qingfeng Li activated the Conquer Chant Technique and formed a beam of blue light on his right forefinger.

ointing out his right forefinger, Qingfeng Li shot the light beam onto the woman in black.

Chapter 1576: The Sword of Execution

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

At first, the woman in black was indifferent to the black light beam released by Qingfeng Li because she had reached a half-step into the spirit supreme realm and possessed powerful defensive abilities. While Qingfeng Li was only in the seventh level of spirit emperor realm, he couldn’t break her defense.

But the next moment, her expression changed sharply with terror because she found her body was frozen and that she couldn’t channel her vital essence to form a protective light shield.

Looking at the woman in black, Qingfeng Li said coldly, “Deplorable woman, do you think only you can freeze time and space? I can do it, too.”

Qingfeng Li used the Conqueror’s Finger and froze the woman in black.

He knew he had one second to defeat the woman in black or he would be in great danger.

Kicking hard on the ground, Qingfeng Li channeled his vital essence and dashed forward. Like a flash of lightning, he was before the woman in black instantly.

At the same time, Qingfeng Li channeled the Mortal Purgatory Body and his body emitted black energy mixed with golden light.

He punched out his right fist, which transformed into a huge fist and slammed viciously into her chest, denting it while breaking several ribs. It was a bloody sight.

When Qingfeng Li raised his fist and tried to punch her again, the time was up.

The woman in black kicked hard on the ground and flew backward, dodging his fist strike.

“Qingfeng Li, I didn’t expect you could also freeze time and space. It’s surprising.” The woman looked at Qingfeng Li with surprise.

At the same time, the woman in black was burning with rage.

She was furious that she, the Chief Executioner of the Pope’s Pagoda and the person only second to Saladin in power, was actually wounded by Qingfeng Li. It was disgraceful.

A trace of regret appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He had planned to do more damage to the woman in black with the second fist strike, but she had dodged it.

Since she was wounded in the second round of attacks, they had broken even.

With her right forefinger, the woman in black again drew a cross in the air and formed the cross sword technique. It slashed toward Qingfeng Li, trying to freeze him.

Of course, Qingfeng Li wouldn’t make the same mistake.

Without hesitation, he channeled the Conqueror Chant technique in his body. Extending his right forefinger, he shot out a beam of blue light.

His Third Finger – Ceasing Time technique collided with the cross sword technique.

Time and space stilled and so did Qingfeng Li and the woman in black. Both of them couldn’t move.

One second later, they both regained freedom of their bodies.

Saladin had a clear view of the fight. He frowned and said, “Chief Executioner, your cross sword technique is useless against him since he too can control time and space. You must kill him with other attacking methods.”

The woman in black nodded, knowing her cross sword technique had no effect on Qingfeng Li’s Conqueror’s Finger.

With a thought, she summoned a black sword from the void.

The black sword was huge. It had a length of two meters and a width of one palm. Longer than the height of the woman in black, it looked disproportionate in her hand.

On the surface of the huge black sword were engraved countless black talisman scripts which seemed to have come from Hell since It carried a deathly presence. On the handle of the sword was one word: “Execution”.

Qingfeng Li frowned at the black sword because he sensed a powerful chilling presence from it.

He couldn’t recognize the talisman scripts on the big sword which seemed to be powerful talisman scripts from the ancient era.

As the godly beasts of the ancient era, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were very familiar with both worlds of eastern and western self-cultivators. In one glance, they recognized the huge black sword and their expressions changed sharply.

“Qingfeng Li, you must be very careful. The black sword is called the Sword of Execution. The talisman scripts on it are Hell talisman scripts which can decide a person’s life and death. It can damage one’s soul and send one directly to Hell after killing the person.”

Hearing Black Puppy’s words, Qingfeng Li’s face turned grim.

Hell talisman scripts were as powerful as the Sky God talisman scripts. They came from Hell and contained the presence of death and destruction.

Since he had witnessed the woman in black’s cross sword technique, Qingfeng Li knew she was very powerful. Besides, as the Chief Executioner in the Pope’s Pagoda, she possessed the right to decide people’s life and death.

From the side, Sky-Devouring Snake also warned, “Qingfeng Li, the Sword of Execution not only destroys a person’s physical body, but also uses spirit attacks against you soul.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. He would have worried if the Sword of Execution only attacked his physical body, but he wasn’t afraid of its attacks against his soul.

It was because the depths of his soul concealed the soul of the Fire Dragon and the Black-and-White Millstone which was a powerful spiritual treasure that could block the spirit attacks from the Sword of Execution.

“Qingfeng Li, today I will send you to Hell.” With a cold smile, the woman in black channeled the vital essence in her body, forming a black vortex hole behind her. The black hole seemed to be connected with Hell.

The woman in black had transformed herself into a hell messenger, emitting a hellish destruction presence. The black Sword of Execution was shaking in her hand as if it was crazy with the thirst for blood.

The woman in black couldn’t handle the Sword of Execution with only one hand. With both hands, she held the Sword of Execution and hacked it forward with great force.

In that moment, the whole world seemed to have been hacked open and a huge crack appeared in space. The black sword aura was before Qingfeng Li instantly.

Qingfeng Li knew he must launch his most powerful attack to block and defeat the sword aura of the Sword of Execution.

He had planned to use the Fire Emperor Sword techniques. But at second thought, he decided against it since he felt the Fire Emperor Sword probably wouldn’t be able to defeat the Sword of Execution. He chose to use Golden Flames instead.

Chapter 1577: Hell Talisman Scripts

“Golden Flames,” Qingfeng Li murmured as he channeled his vital essence and released the Golden Flames from his body.

The Golden Flames travelled through Qingfeng Li’s meridians and appeared between his forefinger and middle finger, dancing between his fingers like a golden butterfly, both beautiful and terrifying.

Qingfeng Li threw the Golden Flames forward with great force.

The Golden Flames carried a terrifyingly high heat which melted the air and crashed onto the sword aura of the Sword of Execution. With loud crackling sounds, it burned the black hellish sword energy into nothing.

The Sword of Execution was also called the Sword of Hell. It was made with a precious black iron from Hell, with its surface covered with Hell talisman scripts. Not surprisingly, the sword aura it released carried the chilling presence of Hell.

But the Golden Flames were one of the top 100 fires in the universe. It had once been used by Golden Saint and had originally been only 5,000 degrees in temperature.

But after swallowing other fires, the Golden Flame’s temperature had increased to 8,000 degrees, which could even destroy the sword aura talisman scripts from Hell.

In a blink of an eye, the Sword of Execution’s aura was burned into sparkling black star lights and vanished into the air.

Seeing the hellish sword aura released from the Sword of Execution had been easily defeated by the Golden Flames, the woman in black was enraged.

Gripping the handle of the Sword of Execution tightly, she channeled her vital essence and slashed out the sword repeatedly.

She slashed it over a dozen times and released over a dozen black sword auras which formed a cell, trying to imprison Qingfeng Li before cutting him into pieces.

With a slight smile, Qingfeng Li remained calm and indifferent. He continued to control the Golden Flames dancing between his forefingers and middle finger.

Then his fingers shot two fiery beams which dashed toward the prison of sword aura in two different directions and burned two huge holes at the top and bottom of the cell. The cell of sword auras collapsed and shattered into pieces.

“Deplorable woman, you are dreaming if you think you can kill me with the Sword of Execution. My Golden Flames can break everything.” Qingfeng Li laughed with contempt.

Under his control, the Golden Flames dashed forward onto the woman in black.

The clothes she was wearing were a powerful supreme-grade soft armor spiritual treasure, but it was easily burned up by the Golden Flames with loud crackling sounds.

“The damned Golden Flames are so powerful that even my supreme-grade spiritual treasure battle armor can’t block it.” With an angry curse, the woman emitted a strong force and shook off her clothes.

Immediately, she took out and put on another piece of clothes from her interspatial ring before leaping up in the air.

In the Pope’s Pagoda, the subordinates of the Pope were not restricted by the Power of Faith and could fly freely. But Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake were still restricted by the suppression.

The woman in black flew up in the air and yelled, “Hell Realm.”

The whole space above the eighteenth floor was turned into a pitch-black hell full of hellish aura. Countless fierce ghosts rushed out and tried to bite into Qingfeng Li.

“Flame Realm.” Without hesitation, Qingfeng Li released the Flame Realm and the whole space was filled with red flames.

The red fire contained raging and releasing a burning heat which, like the light and heat released from the Sun, turned the black hellish presence into a puff of black mist.

The fierce ghosts were turned into a puff of blue smoke by the burning red fire and vanished.

The Flame Realm was the natural enemy of the Hell Realm and it eliminated the demonic presence completely.

“Deplorable woman, you don’t deserve to be the Chief Executioner of the Pope’s Pagoda. You are too weak.” Qingfeng Li shook his head with disdain.

The woman in black was furious at Qingfeng Li’s insult, but she had no words to rebut him.

It was because she was indeed no match for Qingfeng Li. All her attacks were defeated by Qingfeng Li with ease as if she had met her nemesis.

“Gravity Realm and Hurricane Realm.” Qingfeng Li released two fields forces.

A huge sucking force was released from the depths of the Earth and filled the space of the eighteenth floor. It pulled the woman in black onto the ground heavily.

Countless hurricane wind-blades a few dozens of meters in height rushed from all directions toward the woman in black, intending to cut her into pieces.

Frightened at the sight of the black tornados around her, the woman in black slashed the Sword of Execution and formed a giant demonic protective light shield which reflected back all the hurricanes.

One had to admit that the Sword of Execution and its sword energy light shield were very powerful.

Even Qingfeng Li’s Gravity Realm and Hurricane Realm couldn’t defeat the Sword of Execution because of the Hell talisman scripts engraved on the sword.

Hell talisman scripts were one of the most powerful set of talisman scripts of the ancient era and were on the same level as the Sky God Talisman scripts, Saint Talisman scripts, and Immortal Talisman scripts.

Since the Golden Flames and Sword of Execution were on the same level, neither Qingfeng Li or the woman in black could gain the upper hand.

However, all talisman scripts and cultivation techniques had their weaknesses. Although Qingfeng Li couldn’t find the weakness of the Hell talisman scripts, Dark Night Emperor could.

Qingfeng Li summoned Dark Night Emperor and asked him to find the weakness of Hell talisman scripts.

After a short moment, Dark Night Emperor identified an obvious weakness of the Sword of Execution, which was on the tip of the sword.

An ordinary person would never have expected the weakness of the Sword of Execution would lie at the foremost point of the sword.

“Senior, thank you for pointing out the weakness of the Hell talisman scripts on the Sword of Execution. I will destroy the sword by focusing my attacks on it,” Qingfeng Li transmitted a message to Dark Night Emperor.

Dark Night Emperor nodded and said, “The Sword of Execution is made with materials from Hell. It is difficult to destroy even if you have broken the Hell talisman scripts.”

Chapter 1578: Fighting Saladin

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

With the help of Dark Night Emperor, Qingfeng Li had located the weakness of the Hell talisman scripts on the Sword of Execution.

Qingfeng Li activated his Mortal Purgatory Body and emitted shining golden light to block the attack of the hellish sword aura. At the same time, his fist swept across the sky and slammed onto the point of the Sword of Execution.

As predicted, Qingfeng Li felt the sword point tremble slightly under the attack of his fist. Although the tremble was not obvious, Qingfeng Li had sensed it with ease.

“The weakness is indeed here and my attack is having an effect on it.” Qingfeng Li was exhilarated. After battling with the woman in black for so long, he was tired of it and wanted to end it as soon as possible.

Qingfeng Li circulated the vital essence in his body while his fist slammed out repeatedly, which transformed into giant fist shadows.

He launched dozens of fist strikes onto the point of the Sword of Execution.

Crack!

At the 50th fist strike, the Hell talisman scripts on the point of the Sword of Execution shattered with a cracking sound and transformed into beams of black light before vanishing in the air.

The Sword of Execution without the Hell talisman scripts was like a tiger without its claws and teeth. Devoid of the presence of the Hell talisman scripts, it was only an ordinary spiritual treasure sword.

However, the Sword of Execution was made of precious supreme-grade black crystal iron.

Qingfeng Li’s Fire Emperor Sword was only an emperor-grade spiritual treasure and was naturally no match for the supreme-grade spiritual treasure.

But Qingfeng Li wasn’t worried about it because the Sword of Execution without the Hell talisman scripts couldn’t block the Golden Flames.

Qingfeng Li released the Golden Flames, letting it dance between his fingers.

Then he threw it forward with great force. With crackling sounds, the fire burned up the black iron from Hell and turned it into a puddle of molten black iron on the ground. Then the molten black iron evaporated and vanished.

“Qingfeng Li, you are a jerk! You shouldn’t have melted my Sword of Execution! You’re my sworn enemy,” The woman in black screamed at Qingfeng Li with bitter hatred.

As the Chief Executioner of the Pope’s Pagoda, the woman in black’s greatest power lied in the Sword of Execution, which had been a gift to her from the Goddess of Hell.

The Goddess of Hell and the God of Light were a married couple, so when the God of Light created the Pope’s Pagoda, the Goddess of Hell had sent gifts.

“The only fate for my enemies is death.” Qingfeng Li smiled coldly, intense killing intent flashing in his eyes.

His body shifted forward and he arrived before the woman in black in a blink of an eye.

Then he shot a beam of blue light into the heart of the woman in black with vicious force.

Crack!

With a huge sound, the woman in black’s heart was broken into two halves and blood gushed out from the wound. Bleeding from every orifice, she dropped onto the ground and died.

Without sparing a glance at the dead body, Qingfeng Li stepped over it and walked to face Saladin.

“Qingfeng Li, do you know that you have offended the Hell of the Western Self-cultivation World by killing the human representative of the Goddess of Hell?” Saladin asked Qingfeng Li coldly.

With a slight smile, Qingfeng li said indifferently, “Saladin, I am not afraid of the Goddess of Hell since I don’t even give a damn about the God of Light. If she dares to show up, I will kill her.”

Qingfeng Li had killed the avatar of a western god at the Hell underneath the Kunlun Mountains, so he was not at all afraid even if the Goddess of Hell showed up.

Saladin looked at Qingfeng Li coldly, chilling light flashing in his eyes.

It was hard to tell the exact age of the old man. He must be at least several hundred years old, which was suggest by his ancient wrinkles, withered face, and sparse white hair.

Saladin stood there quietly without any weapons in his hands, but his whole being seemed to be merged with the Pope’s Pagoda. He emitted a godlike presence which awed anyone who looked at him

Black Puppy’s expression changed, and he warned in a low voice, “Qingfeng Li, you must be careful. The Pope is trying to suppress you with the Power of Faith here. You must defeat him as soon as possible.”

Qingfeng Li nodded because he sensed the Power of Faith was becoming greater each moment and he had begun to feel more pain from the suppression.

When he walked forward, he felt a force of a few millions of pounds was suppressing his body. Every step was a struggle.

His clothes were shattered, and his skin and muscles cracked with blood oozing out.

But Qingfeng Li continued to walk toward Saladin indifferently. He knew that Saladin was gathering the Power of Faith here and Qingfeng Li would be in great danger if he condensed all of the faith from all eighteen floors. Qingfeng Li must defeat or kill him as soon as possible.

“Qingfeng Li, although you realized that I’m gathering the power of faith, it’s too late for you now. Today I will show you my power.” With a cold smile, Saladin slowly extended his right hand, forming a black ball full of flashing talisman scripts of faith.

The talisman scripts represented the Power of Faith from all the believers in the Western Continents. The Power of Faith began condensing into a powerful spirit attack.

At the sight of the talisman scripts of faith, Qingfeng Li was secretly relieved. He wouldn’t be his rival’s match in terms of physical attacks.

But Qingfeng Li wasn’t afraid of spirit energy attacks.

It was because he had the Black-and-White Millstone, which was an absolute treasure in the entire universe.

With great force, Saladin threw the talisman scripts of faith forward into the depths of Qingfeng Li’s mind.

At first, Qingfeng Li felt a stinging pain in his head, as if thousands of believers were stabbing at his spirit energy with the intention of swallowing the energy of his soul.

But the next moment, the Black-and-White Millstone appeared in his mind with a shiver of excitement. It was trembling with happiness at the delicious scent of food — the energy of thousands of souls.

The Black-and-White Millstone in Qingfeng Li’s mind shot out two balls of spiritual light.

One black and the other white, the two light balls formed the S-shaped Taichi Talisman script which was also called Yin-yang Talisman script. The talisman script represented the force of the universe and Yin-yang.

Rushing into the talisman scripts of faith, the Taichi talisman script devoured them all and turned them into its own energy.
