Chapter 1899: Battle of Saints
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Standing closest to Dark Night Emperor, Qingfeng Li saw clearly that the Monarch’s soul had trembled for an instant just now. It seemed that he was no match for Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar. After all, this was a Saint’s Avatar.
Qingfeng Li stared at Dark Night Emperor before him, his eyes filled with worry. He knew that the only thing he could depend on right now was Dark Night Emperor. Once even the Monarch fell in defeat, his situation would become terribly perilous.
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brow. “Let’s go up,” he suggested to Black Puppy beside him. “We can help Dark Night Emperor fight Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar.”
Black Puppy gave him a humorless smile. “Qingfeng Li,” it said, “the only way we can get between a battle of Saints would be if we could become Saints right now. Otherwise, if we go up, we’d be dead for sure.”
“Qingfeng Li,” Sky-Devouring Snake also explained from beside him. “You don’t know the difference between a Saint and the spirit monarch realm. the difference is night and day. It’s not just the matter of a single Realm’s difference.”
Saints had a profound understanding of the Heavenly Dao Law and the Laws of Heaven and Earth. they were able to control most of the power of Heavenly Dao. An enraged Saint could make rivers run red with the blood of a million people, or even destroy a whole planet on their own.
If this were the full manifestation of Nine-Headed Saint Lion, and not just an Avatar, it could smash the entire Crimson Fire Continent to dust with just one blow.
Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. Having heard Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake’s explanations, he finally understood the immense power of the Saints.
He pondered to himself, which of his Dharma treasures could do harm to Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar?
Qingfeng Li knew that he must help Dark Night Emperor. After all, the Monarch was currently only a soul without a body. there was no way the Monarch could measure up to Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar.
He could clearly see that Dark Night Emperor had been repeatedly forced back by his opponent’s attacks. Even his soul began to appear transparent. He could be defeated at any moment.
Qingfeng Li possessed many Dharma treasures, the Sky-Breaking Halberd, golden flame, the Power of the Dragon God Bloodline, the Chaos Millstone, and the Fire Dragon Soul.
However, the Fire Dragon Soul had fallen into a deep slumber. No matter how much Qingfeng Li called out, it did not reply.
As for the Chaos Millstone, while it was able to attack souls directly, it had also fallen into slumber a short while back. Qingfeng Li tried to call to it a few times but it, too, was unresponsive.
Of course, there was another all-powerful entity deep asleep inside Qingfeng Li’s interspatial ring. This was the Peacock Demon Monarch. If he could wake her, she would definitely be able to kill Nine-Headed Saint Lion before them.
The Peacock Demon Monarch was an entity capable of challenging the Heavenly Dao Mandates. Unfortunately, the last incident on Earth where the Peacock Demon Monarch had faced the power of the Origins of Heavenly Dao, she had sustained heavy injuries and likewise fallen into slumber.
As it was, Qingfeng Li had many Dharma treasures, but there weren’t many he could use.
Qingfeng Li turned to Black Puppy beside him. “If I use the Sky-Breaking Halberd or golden flame,” he asked, “could I kill Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar?”
Black Puppy shook its fuzzy head. “Your Sky-Breaking Halberd might be an ultimate treasure, but right now you’ve only learned two stances; its power is limited. there’s no way you can kill Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar with it, not unless you learn all the Stances. As for golden flame, it’s a saint level flame. It might be able to harm Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar, but there’s no way you can kill it.”
Qingfeng Li sighed. He also knew that it was impossible. Even though golden flame were strong, it was only effective against self-cultivators below the Saint level.
Once self-cultivators reached the Saint level, they would be at the same power level as golden flame. Naturally, it would be difficult to kill them with it.
Not giving up, Qingfeng Li continued to ask, “What about the Dragon Blood and Dragon Bone. they contain the prestige of the Dragon God.”
This time, Black Puppy was silent, and it was Sky-Devouring Snake that spoke. “Qingfeng Li,” it replied, explaining, “you only have one drop of Dragon Blood and a small segment of the Dragon Bone. Although they could suppress other demonic beasts even if they are Demon Monarchs, they are still too weak before a Saint. You’d be killed for sure.”
Qingfeng Li was out of ideas. Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake’s explanations had left him crestfallen. He had thought that, with so many great treasures, he would be able to do something. He hadn’t expected them all to be useless against Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar.
As an entity of the saint level, Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar was far too powerful. Of all the hundreds of millions of self-cultivators on the Crimson Fire Continent, there was not a single Saint.
Qingfeng Li’s expression grew darker and darker, like a raincloud before a storm. He could see clearly that Dark Night Emperor was wounded. A beam of soul energy leaked out from his mouth. He was still no match for Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar.
The body of Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar was immense, towering above the clouds. Before it, Qingfeng Li and the others were like ants before a giant.
Even Dark Night Emperor was no match for it, not unless he could recover his Saint level power and find his body again. Only then, could he pose a real threat to the Avatar.
“Quickly,” Dark Night Emperor said to Qingfeng Li, who was standing behind him, “run away! Don’t worry about me. You’re running out of time!”
Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar roared in laughter. “Trying to run?” it said. “None of you are getting away today. Cage of Heavens and Earth!”
Eighteen beams of golden light flew from Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar in all directions. Within a fifty thousand kilometer radius, all lifeforms were locked in place by the Avatar using dimensional force.
All the demonic beasts, plants, and animals were frozen where they stood, unable to move. Time and space were stopped in their tracks.
Igniting his own soul, Dark Night Emperor radiated a black soul light that flew up into the heavens, colliding with the golden light in order to protect Qingfeng Li.
He’d even went as far as to exhaust massive amounts of Soul Energy in order to break the curse of bondage upon Qingfeng Li, clearing a path for him to escape.
However, Qingfeng Li did not run. Because he knew that, before a master of the Sacred Realm, there was no way he could get away. Besides, the Mystic Sun Realm was only so big. Where could he possibly run to?
Once Dark Night Emperor died at Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar’s hand, Qingfeng Li would be the next to go. And, in any case, Qingfeng Li was not about to abandon Dark Night Emperor.
Suddenly, Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. A crazed look came over his eyes as he recalled the Heavenly Dao Mandate he’d just learned, the Killing God Lance.
After Qingfeng Li learned the Killing God Lance, he had never used it. This was because this was a law created by the Killing God back in the Ancient Universe Era.
In the ten thousand years since then, not one person had successfully mastered this technique. No one except Qingfeng Li.
The Killing God was from the Era of the Abandoned Universe. He’d once stood in opposition to the Heavens, slaying both Saints and Immortals before being terribly wounded himself. After that, he was reborn in the Ancient Universe Era.
Then, the Killing God once again opposed the Heavens. Using his Killing God Lance, he tore a hole in the Heavens themselves, shocking the entire Universe.
After that, the Killing God had entered a Black Hole, disappearing completely. Some said that he’d been wiped from existence by the Heavenly Dao, others said that the Heavens had imprisoned him. Still others said that he left and went to some unknown world. In any case, the Killing God had become a legend.
Chapter 1900: Gathering Killing Intent
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
A cold light flashed through Qingfeng Li’s eyes. “Today, I will use the Killing God Lance,” he said in a low voice. “Even if the Heavens strike me with thunder as punishment, I will kill the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar.”
Qingfeng Li had never used the Killing God Lance after he had learned it. However, he believed that it would definitely be able to cause fatal damage to the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar.
With his blood boiling, Qingfeng raised his right foot and took a step forward, walking out of the saint level defensive energy veil that Dark Night Emperor had created for him.
Behind him, Black Puppy shouted in surprise, “What are you doing? Get back here! If you walk out of this saint level defensive energy veil, you will certainly die!”
Only the saint level defensive energy veil could protect Qingfeng Li and the others from the Saint’s prestige of the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar.
“I must help Dark Night Emperor defeat the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar,” he said without even turning his head. “Otherwise, we’ll all die here.”
“Are you stupid?!” Black Puppy roared, “You’re no match for Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar! That’s the avatar of a saint!”
A maddened look appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes, accompanied by a fierce killing intent. He did not speak again but rather continued to walk forward. The moment he exited Dark Night Emperor’s saint level defensive energy veil, numerous cracks appeared on the surface of his body.
Although Qingfeng Li possessed the Mortal Purgatory Body, he had only advanced it to the monarch level. It had not yet evolved into an immortal level body-strengthening technique. As it was now, his body was completely unable to withstand the prestige of a saint and cracks appeared all over his skin.
Blood poured out from Qingfeng Li’s body, painting his entire body red. However, Qingfeng Li could not feel the immense pain in his skin and flesh; there was only a crazed killing intent in his eyes.
Up in the sky, Dark Night Emperor saw this and, shocked, he cried, “Little one, what are you doing? Hurry and go back!”
“Senior,” Qingfeng Li shouted back at him, “I will help you kill Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar!”
Hearing Qingfeng Li’s declaration, Nine-Headed Saint Lion avatar tilted back all nine of its heads and roared in laughter. The sound shook the heavens, leaving massive cracks in the sky above. It was as if the sky was about to fall.
The sound wave of the laughter made some of the bodies weakest demonic beasts around them explode. Even Qingfeng Li could not withstand the sound. New wounds opened all over his body, blood flying in all directions.
The Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar acted like it had just heard the funniest joke in the Universe. “I’m the Avatar of a Saint!” he said. “You, puny ant! You dare to claim that you will kill me? How tragically ignorant!”
“The Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar,” Qingfeng Li’s expression was cocky as he spoke, “let me show you the power of my law today. Don’t think that, just because you are a saint, I am powerless before you.”
Qingfeng Li stuck his right index finger into the Void. With it, he created vibrations. The Dragon Bone and Dragon Scale on his finger emitted the energy of the Dragon God and, through the Void, it drew forth killing intent from the world.
Rumble… Rumble… Rumble…
The sky shook as though seized by an earthquake, and then, the dimensional barrier shattered. Countless strands of black energy gathered toward Qingfeng Li’s body. These strands were the manifestation of killing energy from all over the Mystic Sun Realm.
The Mystic Sun Realm was home to ten thousand self-cultivators. Most of them had blood on their hands, either that of enemies or demonic beasts. they all carried a trace of killing intent on them.
Now, the killing intent from all these people were drawn in by Qingfeng Li. they gathered around him, becoming his killing intent. This was the power of the Killing God Law; it had the power to collect all the killing intent in an entire world.
At this moment, all over the Mystic Sun Realm, the ten thousand self-cultivators all felt as though something had been drawn out of their bodies. That something congregated toward Qingfeng Li.
More and more killing intent gathered over Qingfeng Li’s head, forming a black light pillar that pieced the heavens. Finally, it condensed into the form of a black lance.
The black lance wasn’t terribly large, only a meter or so long. However, this was the essence of the killing intent collected from self-cultivators all over the Mystic Sun Realm.
Sensing the immense killing intent emitting from Qingfeng Li, the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar and Dark Night Emperor both stared in surprise. Before the powerful killing intent, even they felt a sense of danger.
A hint of terror flashed over Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar’s eyes. “What is this Law?” it said in surprise. “Could it be the legendary Killing God Law?”
It shook its head, muttering, “That’s impossible. the Killing God disappeared from the Universe ten thousand years ago, never to be seen again. No one had been able to master the Killing God Law either. Unless this man is practicing devilish or demonic techniques?
At this moment, the many faces of Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar all showed the same grave expression. Even Dark Night Emperor, the soul of a saint, hadn’t made it so tense.
Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar knew that the black gaseous energy gathered by Qingfeng Li contained a terrifying power. If it wasn’t careful, it would definitely get served something it didn’t like.
Right now, Qingfeng Li’s eyes were black. Within them, there was an ocean of blood red, with mountains of bones. the countless bodies accumulated there were all formed from the Killing God Law. It was as though he was the Killing God reborn.
Qingfeng Li looked ahead at the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar, cold light dancing in his eyes. Controlling the Killing God Lance over his head, he flung it forward with all his might.
The Killing God Lance traveled at extreme speeds, more than ten times the speed of lightning. In an instant, it tore through the air.
Around them, time and space had been frozen by the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar. However, the Killing God Lance tore through it all with ease.
It seemed that nothing in the world could stop the black lance. It pierced through the sky, tearing through the heavens.
The Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar’s expression changed. Turning all nine of its heads, it hurriedly shot out eighteen beams of golden light from all eighteen of its eyes. These were his Saint’s Light, and they all shot toward the Killing God Lance.
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
Eighteen earth-shattering sounds came as the eighteen beams of Saint’s Light collided into the Killing God Lance and were shattered instantly. Like eggs thrown against a stone, they fell to pieces and faded into the air.
A look of shock appeared on the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar’s faces, its eyes filled with terror and awe. It’s Saint’s Light, which had just forced Dark Night Emperor back numerous times, why couldn’t it withstand the Killing God Spear in the slightest?
An impossible idea formed in the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar’s mind. Could it be that this man had truly learned the Killing God Law? That was a technique made by a monster from the Ancient Universe Era. Back then, the Killing God had slain saints and immortals alike.
The Nine-Headed Saint Lion’s Master was killed by the Killing God. It knew full well how terrifying the Killing God was. It was among the most powerful, most vicious figures in the Universe.
Chapter 1901: Slaying Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: I Love Mermaid
Qingfeng Li stared at Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar before him and laughed. “Your Saint’s Light have all been destroyed,” he said. “Now, it’s your turn to die!”
At this moment, Qingfeng Li was like the Killing God himself. Killing intent rolled off of him in waves and, above his head, the Killing God Lance shot through into the clouds with awe-inspiring power. It was as though heaven and earth were about to be torn apart.
That lance was constructed from the killing intent of all the self-cultivators in the Mystic Sun Realm. Gathered together by Qingfeng Li, they formed an indomitable, all-destructive force.
Before the Killing God Lance, the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar and even Dark Night Emperor felt a tremor in their souls.
As a saint from the Ancient Universe Era, Dark Night Emperor knew full well the power of the Killing God. That man had once been a great Demon of the Universe, ten thousand years ago. Even at the peak of his strength and with his body intact, Dark Night Emperor had been no match for the Killing God.
The Killing God had been infamous throughout the Universe then, having killed Saints and Immortals alike. Few dared to cross him. Aside from the Immortal Kings and Immortal Monarchs of the Three Thousand Grand Worlds of the Universe, only the Heavens could suppress the Killing God.
Dark Night Emperor also hadn’t expected Qingfeng Li to have come into possession of the Killing God Lance. This was no doubt news that would shake the heavens and earth. If word of this got out, the entire Universe would be shocked.
Under Qingfeng Li’s control, the Killing God Lance flew forth at an astonishing speed. After it destroyed the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar’s eighteen beams of Saint’s Light, it appeared before the demonic beast in an instant.
The Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar was terrified, its face draining of color. As a saint from the Ancient Universe Era itself, it naturally knew of the monster called the Killing God and the terrible power of the Killing God Lance.
In ten thousand years, many planets had been born and destroyed. Innumerable self-cultivators lived and died. But no one had ever been known to have mastered the Killing God Lance. This Qingfeng Li was indeed a monster. It felt as though it was witnessing the birth of a new conqueror of worlds.
The Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar swung out its fist and, forming a beam of golden light. It created a massive defensive energy veil. This was the energy veil of a saint, created by amassing all of the power of the heavens and earth. It aimed to block the Killing God Lance.
Crackle, crackle…
The Killing God Lance flew into the Saint’s energy veil. In an instant, the Saint’s energy veil began to emit an intense burst of crackling sounds. then, countless cracks appeared on its surface and spread out like a spider’s web.
In the blink of an eye, the defensive energy veil created by the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar had been shattered, the fragments fading into nothingness.
Far away, atop Five-Poison City the, self-cultivators watching this scene all wore expressions of joy, with excitement in their eyes.
Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun both let out a deep breath, their nerves finally at ease. They had been afraid something dangerous would happen to Qingfeng Li this whole time. But now, seeing how powerful Qingfeng Li was and how he was able to even break through Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar’s defenses, they were overcome with awe.
As for the other self-cultivators, they were overjoyed as well. They stared at Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with disbelief and a trace of respect.
Qingfeng Li’s Killing God Lance did not pause for even an instant. It continued forward, instantly colliding with Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar’s first head. With a loud “Bang!” the mountain-sized head exploded into pieces.
The Killing God Lance was incredibly powerful. As one would expect from what was known as the most powerful Killing God Law in the Universe. It was truly unstoppable; even the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar could not deflect it.
The Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar gave a piteous yowl. The pain of losing one of its heads was excruciating.
Its eyes filled with terror. At that moment, it had truly felt the immense power of the Killing God Lance. This wasn’t something the avatar of a saint could defend against.
If it were the Nine-Headed Saint Lion’s true form here, perhaps it could have fled or dodged the Lance. However, what was here now was only a saint’s Avatar, the equivalent of a tenth of a saint’s power. It could not move nearly as quickly as the Killing God Lance.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Killing God Lance shot through the air like a firecracker. Completely unstoppable, it shot forward, and, in an instant, all nine of Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar’s heads had been shattered. The pieces fell away, fading into heaven and earth.
The Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar let out wave after wave of piteous howls. The piercing sound echoed across the entire Mystic Sun Realm.
At this moment, all the self-cultivators and all the demonic beasts, having heard the sound, prostrated themselves upon the ground in terror as their bodies shook uncontrollably. This was the cry of a saint, and few indeed could withstand it.
As for the Golden Lion Demon Monarch, it was frozen in shock. It stood there, dumbfounded, as though it had lost its soul.
It had never once thought that its Great Ancestor Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar would be killed by this man. This was the Avatar of a saint! Even if the Sun Monarch revived right now, there was no guarantee that he would be able to kill the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar!
The Golden Lion Demon Monarch felt that the end of the world was upon it. It knew that once its Great Ancestor died, it would definitely be next. It stared at Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with fright, as though it were looking upon a devil.
Suddenly, a nascent soul flew from the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar’s body. This was the saint’s soul hidden deep within its mind-space, and it was trying to run.
The Killing God Lance continued forward at lightning speed, impaling the Saint’s Soul. In an instant, it tore the soul apart, reducing it to dust that then fading into the land.
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter…
Bloody rain fell over the entire Mystic Sun Realm. This symbolized the fall of a saint. Each time a saint fell betwen the heavens and earth, bloody rain would fall. This was a strange phenomenon of the world.
The path to becoming a saint was extremely difficult. Of ten thousand self-cultivators, often not even one of them would become a saint.
Upon reaching the Saint level, self-cultivators possessed the Laws of Greater Dao and the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Upon one’s death, even the heavens would weep.
Demonic beasts of the Mystic Sun Realm, bathed in the Saint’s bloody rain, trembled in fear. Even more terrified were the beasts around Five-Poison City, which knelt upon the ground with eyes filled with horror. Some had even fainted out of fright.
The Nine-Headed Saint Lion was one of their Great Ancestors, having made a name for itself ten thousand years ago. Who would have thought that Qingfeng Li would be able to slay its Avatar today?
Having killed the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar, Qingfeng Li did not hesitate for an instant. Continuing to control the Killing God Lance, he shot it toward the Golden Lion Demon Monarch.
Its eyes filled with fright, the Golden Lion Demon Monarch tried to run. However, he found that he was unable to move a muscle. Under the power of the Killing God Lance, time and space had been locked in place. Even its Great Ancestor,the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar, had been killed by it. The Golden Lion Demon Monarch was naturally no match for it either.
Boom!
With a deafening boom, the Golden Lion Demon Monarch’s body was run through by the Lance. His body and soul exploded into a million pieces, fading into heaven and earth until. Finally, nothing at all remained.
Chapter 1902: Heavens’ Wrath
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Having witnessed the deaths of their Great Ancestor and Demon Monarch, the demonic beasts that had been laying siege to Five-Poison City scattered and fled. Not a single one remained. as they knew that if they ran too slow, they would be killed.
Upon the walls of Five-Poison City, the self-cultivators watched the demonic beasts flee, not one of them daring to stay. Their eyes filled with joy.
They knew that, once these demonic beasts fled, they wouldn’t attack self-cultivators in the city anymore. This meant that they could all survive.
With the death of the Nine-headed Saint Lion Avatar, the saint level prestige dissipated. Self-cultivators in the Five-Poison City all found that they could now move and speak.
“Qingfeng Li is incredible! He actually killed both the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar and the Golden Lion Demon Monarch!”
“I’ll say it now, Qingfeng Li is definitely the number one devil of the Devil Rankings!”
“Are you insane? How is Qingfeng Li a devil? He’s a great hero!”
All around, self-cultivators chattered among themselves. they looked to Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with admiration.
When some self-cultivators referred to Qingfeng Li as a devil, those around them quickly retaliated.
In the minds of all self-cultivators in Five-Poison City, Qingfeng Li was a world-class hero. He had saved all of their lives. Some of the female self-cultivators looked at Qingfeng Li like he was a knight in shining armor.
Xiaomei and her sister also stood among the crowd. They had witnessed Qingfeng Li’s heroic deed of slaying theNine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar as well and their eyes were filled with emotion.
Xiaomei lifted a slender finger, pointing toward Qingfeng Li. “Big Sister,” she said, “did you see? He actually killed the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar. He killed the Golden Lion Demon Monarch, too! He saved all of our lives!”
The long-haired female self-cultivator beside her replied, “Little Sister, I saw it. He is everyone’s hero.”
Of course, whereas Qingfeng Li was a hero to the self-cultivators of Five-Poison City, he was an absolute monster to the demonic beasts. After all, he had killed their Demon Monarch and their Great Ancestor. They felt like their skies had fallen upon them.
As for the self-cultivators from other cities, they saw Qingfeng Li as a dangerous character. He dared to kill even the Avatar of a saint. This was a terribly dangerous act.
If that Saint descended upon Mars and the Crimson Fire Continent, Qingfeng Li would definitely be skinned alive.
Whether it was the admiration of those around him or the enmity, Qingfeng Li faced it all with a calm expression. None of it fazed him in the slightest.
To him, both friend and foe were only passers-by in his life. Only his own power mattered. Everything else was secondary and couldn’t help him in fundamental matters.
At this moment, Qingfeng Li had indeed encountered a dangerous situation. Over his head, masses of black clouds gathered. These clouds blocked out the sun and the sky for ten thousand kilometers around.
These were not really black clouds, but clouds of black lightning. As more and more of them gathered, both the peak and Five-Poison City were placed under a strange pressure. It was like the end of the world had come.
The excited faces of the Five-Poison City self-cultivators now turned stark white. Their eyes were filled with terror. They didn’t understand what they had done to enrage the Heavens to the extent that it would send down their Thunder of Punishment.
Qingfeng Li stood atop the mountain far from Five-Poison City. He flew straight down, landing on solid ground, and raised his head to regard the black clouds and thunder. He knew this was the Heavenly Punishment, created by the Heavens themselves, and that the target was himself. The cause was that Qingfeng Li had used the Killing God Lance, an act that the Heavens forbade.
A trace of fear appeared in the eyes of Dark Night Emperor. He was currently just a soul. If these thunderbolts landed on him, he would be blasted to nothingness for sure.
Turning into a beam of black light, Dark Night Emperor flew straight into Qingfeng Li’s long sword. He hid there, not daring to show himself.
Beside Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake also wore looks of apprehension.
Both self-cultivators and demonic beasts alike feared the Heavenly Punishment. Even Saints, when faced with the thunderbolts of Heavenly Punishment would be afraid. If they weren’t careful, they would be reduced to nothing by the thunderbolts, soul and all.
Qingfeng Li’s expression was grim. “Hurry,” he said to Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake, “get away from here. Don’t come near me. The thunder in the sky is only aimed at me.”
Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake exchanged a glance. “Take care of yourself,” they said, “we’re of no help to you even if we stay. Be careful of the thunder in the sky. That’s the symbol of the Heavenly Punishment.”
With that, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake both quickly left. They were also terrified of the Heavens’ Wrath. With their current power level, they were completely unable to withstand such a thing.
The three-eyed demonic dog left as well. It had apparently become Black Puppy’s loyal henchman. Besides, it couldn’t help either. It seemed that in all of heaven and earth, all that remained was the lone figure of Qingfeng Li.
Silently, Qingfeng Li looked up at thunder in the sky. More and more of the thunder gathered, growing more and more massive until it formed a massive thunder cluster several hundreds of thousands of feet across.
The thunder cluster contained a terrifying amount of power. It wasn’t just one bolt of lightning, but tens of thousands. Under the pressure of the thunder, cracks began to form in heaven and earth.
BANG!
With a world-shattering sound, the first thunderbolt descended. It fell straight toward Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li’s expression shifted. Without hesitation, he controlled the Killing God Lance over his head, stabbing it toward the thunderbolt. He knew that, right now, his most powerful attack was the Killing God Lance. Aside from that, he had nothing.
The Killing God Lance met the thunderbolt. Like the meeting of age-old rivals, they raged against one another, neither willing to back down.
Ten thousand years ago, in the Ancient Era, the Killing God had once battled with the Heavens. In one fell swoop, he destroyed ten thousand bolts of thunder. His name echoed throughout the entire Universe.
The Killing God Lance was extremely powerful, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth. With one strike, it instantly shattered the thunderbolt. the remaining black light faded away into the air.
At this moment, the self-cultivators around him stared in slack-jawed shock. They had never in a million years have thought that even the thunderbolt of Heavenly Punishment would be pierced by Qingfeng Li’s Killing God Lance. That Killing God Lance, it was far too powerful. It exceeded the expectations and wildest imaginations of everyone present.
Step!
Qingfeng Li took a step back. Although he had pierced the thunderbolt with the Killing God Lance, it had been no ordinary thunder. This was the thunderbolt of Heavenly Punishment, containing a terrifying power. It had forced Qingfeng Li back a step.
When all was said and done, Qingfeng Li’s current power level was only at the fifth level of the spirit monarch realm. He hadn’t reached the level of the Killing God. If he had, then he would have no fear of the thunder in the sky.
Up above, the thunder cluster let out a piercing cry. It was a sound filled with rage.
It had thought that there was but an ant standing below and that it would be killed easily. It hadn’t expected to lose a thunderbolt. As far as the Heavens were concerned, this was an unforgivable sin, an act of disrespect to the Heavens!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another dozen or so thunderbolts fell from the sky, headed straight at Qingfeng Li.
Chapter 1903: Unconscious with Severe Injury
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Looking up at the dozen or so lightning bolts, a trace of madness and killing intent appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. Without hesitation, he manipulated the Killing God Lance and stabbed viciously at them.
Crack! Crack! Crack…
With a dozen or so loud sounds, the lightning bolts were all shattered by the Killing God Lance into pieces and disappeared into the air.
The Killing God Lance was invincible against anything in the world, even the Lightning of Heaven’s Punishment was not its match. But there were thousands of lightning bolts in the sky.
Although Qingfeng Li shattered a dozen or so lightning bolts, they were just a tiny part of the Lightning of Heaven’s Punishment covering the whole sky.
The dark clouds began to accumulate quickly since the Heavens was angry at Qingfeng Li for destroying a dozen or so lightning bolts. It was enraged.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
1,000 lightning bolts crashed down all together.
They surrounded Qingfeng Li from all directions with such density that even a drop of water couldn’t trickle through.
Qingfeng Li’s expression changed, and a trace of horror appeared in his eyes. He could feel the Heaven’s tremendous rage in the 1,000 lightning bolts.
He continued to manipulate the Killing God Lance at the 1,000 lightning bolts. Although the lance was powerful, Qingfeng Li’s vital essence was limited, and the last stabs of the lance had greatly consumed his vital essence and mana energy. He had only a little energy left in his body.
After Qingfeng Li shattered the 500 lightning bolts with the Killing God Lance, the vital essence in his body finally came to an end. He was so weak that he couldn’t even lift the Killing God Lance, but the remaining 500 lightning bolts continued to hack toward him from all directions.
Crack! Crack!
With two crisp sounds, the Killing God Lance without the support of his vital essence, disappeared in the air. Instantly countless lightning bolts crashed toward Qingfeng Li.
Bang! Bang! Bang…
With huge banging sounds, more than 500 lightning bolts struck onto Qingfeng Li’s body, shattering his clothes into ashes and cracking his skin. Blood splashed out of the countless cracks on his body and turned the ground red.
Although Qingfeng Li’s skin was as hard as iron, a result of his cultivation of the Mortal Purgatory Body, it was not tough enough to withstand the power of Heaven’s Punishment.
The countless powerful lightning bolts continued to strike into Qingfeng Li, leaving countless wounds in his body.
With a booming sound, Qingfeng Li fell to the ground, unconscious.
His blackened hair stood up and his whole body looked like a block of coal with undistinguishable features.
Seeing Qingfeng Li was unconscious, the Lightning of Heaven’s Punishment scattered gradually and disappeared into the air.
Seeing this sight from Five-Poison City’s walls, the expressions of Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun changed sharply. Hurriedly, they flew down the wall and dashed toward Qingfeng Li
Their eyes were full of concern at the sight of Qingfeng Li who had become a block of coal. Equipped with her Fairy Chant, Mengyao Xu turned into a silver shooting star and was the first to reach Qingfeng Li.
Her charming face was pale, and her bright eyes were full of worry. Holding his naked and blackened body in her arms, she lifted her palm and began to transfer her vital essence into his body.
Deng!
The moment her vital essence entered Qingfeng Li’s body, it was bounced back, and her own body was forced back more than a dozen steps. Looking down, she found her palm was numb and blackened.
Her charming face changed drastically. She looked at Qingfeng Li in bafflement, not understanding why his body had released the power of thunder and lightning.
Meanwhile, Black Puppy and Sky Swallowing Snake had also rushed over and were surprised when they saw Mengyao Xu was bounced back.
Black Puppy said, “Mengyao Xu, don’t transfer vital essence into him since his body now contains some thunder power after being struck by the Lightning of Heaven’s Punishment. The thunder is destroying his internal organs and he can’t accept any vital essence transferred to him.”
Mengyao Xu’s charming face was full of worry. She asked, “Puppy, what shall we do?”
After a moment’s consideration, Black Puppy said, “Hurry up and take him to Five-Poison City. Put him on a bed and let him heal himself. If he can make it, his power will increase greatly; if not, he will be killed by the thunder and lightning in his body.”
Without hesitation, Mengyao Xu took Qingfeng Li in her arms and flew to Five-Poison City, instantly arriving at the city gate.
The Spider Dynasty Emperor and Spider Princess were there waiting for them. Seeing Qingfeng Li blackened like a block of coal, they were horrified and asked what had happened.
With a frown, Mengyao Xu said, “Spider Dynasty Emperor, please hurry up and find a room for Qingfeng Li to rest in where no one can disturb him.”
The emperor nodded. As the City Lord of Five-Poison City and the emperor of a high tier dynasty, he enjoyed a great reputation and respect among the self-cultivators.
Although his royal palace was destroyed, there were many hotels in the city.
He found one of the best hotels in the city, the Tianyang Hotel, and put Qingfeng Li into the No.1 VIP room.
Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, the Emperor of Lingyun, Black Puppy, and Sky Devouring Snake were all full of worries for him. They tried many methods, but none could wake up Qingfeng Li.
With a wave of its paw, Black Puppy said, “Let’s all get out of the room and leave him alone. Only he can save himself.”
They nodded at Black Puppy’s words and walked out of the room. Mengyao Xu was the last to leave and after she closed the door, Qingfeng Li was left alone in the room.
In the unconscious state, Qingfeng Li’s soul was also deep in sleep and only his physical body was fighting the thunder and lightning in his body.
One thousand lightning bolts had entered his body, not to mention that they were not ordinary ones but the Lightning of Heaven’s Punishment, which were 100 times more powerful.
They were burning his kidney, liver, heart, lungs, stomach, muscles, sinews, and bones as if they were trying to destroy everything in his body.
Chapter 1904: The Hell Talisman
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
At this moment, a black talisman rose in Qingfeng Li’s body. It looked ancient and chilling with terrifying power.
The ancient black talisman was not an ordinary one, but the famous Hell Talisman.
Qingfeng Li had cultivated the Mortal Purgatory Body which could evolve into an immortal body cultivation technique and would eventually have the power to suppress the entire 18 layers of Hell.
Usually, Qingfeng Li had contained only the hell strength in his body but rarely condensed the ancient Hell Talismans which all came from the depths of the 18th layer of hell.
In the ancient era, the primeval era, and even the chaotic era, the Thunder God and Hell God had battled with each other for 50 million years. They had a deep feud with each other and were natural enemies.
So when the Heavenly Thunder Punishment was trying to destroy Qingfeng Li’s body, the ancient Hell Talismans appeared, causing Qingfeng Li’s body to become their battlefield.
Containing the power of 18 layers of Hell, the tadpole-shaped talismans possessed mysterious hellish force in each of their needle-like holes.
The Thunder of Heaven’s Punishment contained the Heavenly Dao power. Both were contained enormous power, resembling a lion and a tiger, and were natural enemies. Neither would give in when they met each other.
Qingfeng Li’s internal organs, muscles, sinew, and bones were torn into pieces by the two forces. Although he was in a coma, the extreme pain made him shake all over and large drops of sweat slid from his forehead. He felt like he was being sliced into pieces.
Although the ancient Hell Talismans were powerful, they couldn’t gain the upper hand since the 1,000 lightning bolts contained Heavenly Dao prestige, which was more powerful above ground. If they had been in the depths of Hell, the Hell Talismans would probably have gained the upper hand.
The ancient Hell Talismans were overwhelmed by the attacks of the 1,000 lightning bolts and their black luster dimmed as if they would shatter any second.
Meanwhile, Qingfeng Li’s bones pained him so much that he screamed. The moment he woke, he passed out from the excruciating pain.
Hearing Qingfeng Li’s scream, Mengyao Xue hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in. Her charming faced changed sharply when she saw blood ooze out from Qingfeng Li’s mouth, nose, and eyes.
Panicking, Mengyao Xu rushed toward him trying to help him.
The two unrivaled forces in Qingfeng Li’s body, one the Hell Talismans’ strength and the other the Thunder of Heaven’s Punishment strength, crashed onto Mengyao Xu viciously, sending her flying. Pale-faced, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Black Puppy walked in and was startled at the sight of Qingfeng Li. It hurried up and held Mengyao Xu back. “Don’t go near him. There are two ancient saint-level forces fighting with each other in his body. If it doesn’t go well, his whole body will be turned into ashes.”
Mengyao Xu’s eyes were full of worry. She asked, “Black Puppy, what shall we do now? Big Brother Li is now in such great pains. Are we just going to watch him die?”
Black Puppy shook its head, saying, “I can’t do anything about it. No one can help him but himself. All that we can do is give him a quiet environment. Let’s get out of here.”
Seeing Mengyao Xu’s reluctance, Black Puppy tugged at her pant leg and drew her out.
As the Ancestor Dog from the ancient universe times, Black Puppy knew well about Thunder of Heaven’s Punishment and Hell Talismans which were two forces even greater than that of a saint or an immortal.
Originating from the chaotic universe times, the two forces were godly objects. As natural enemies, the two forces had taken Qingfeng Li’s body as the battlefield for their earth-shattering fight. Qingfeng Li could only survive it through the strength of his own.
The ancient Hell Talismans in Qingfeng Li’s body was obviously not the match for the Thunder of Heaven’s Punishment. They were now shattered and on the verge of scattering and disappearing. The moment they disappeared, Qingfeng Li’s physical body would collapse.
Seeming to have sensed the mortal danger Qingfeng Li was in, several forces arose in his body, including the gold-elemental energy of the Gold Dao Seed, the wind-elemental energy of the Wind Dao Sseed, the godly dragon force of his dragon blood, the Wolf God Bloodline, and the Devourer Bloodline. His mini sun spirit core began to emit an unrivaled aura and formed ancient talismans.
Shortly, Qingfeng Li’s body was filled with ancient talismans which represented his greatest forces and best cards he rarely used.
Now these ultimate treasures appeared at the same time to help him survive. They united with each other against the Thunder of Heaven’s punishment.
Sensing the powerful original forces, the 1,000thunderboltss of the Heaven’s punishment recoiled.
But the forces in Qingfeng Li’s body wouldn’t stop here once they were out. The Devouring Talisman formed by the Devourer Bloodline was the first to attack.
Closely following it, the Wolf God talisman, Gold Dao Seed talisman, Wind Dao Seed talisman and Mini Sun Spirit Core talisman all rushed up like hungry wolves, gnawing at the thunder and lightning bolts. Yeah, that’s right, gnawing.
During the process, loud crackling sounds came from the inside of Qingfeng Li’s body. They were not the sounds of bone breaking, but the sounds of the thunder and lightning bolts being chewed and swallowed.
Although the Thunder of Heaven’s Punishment was powerful, they could do nothing when faced with these original forces in the nature. They regretted entering Qingfeng Li’s body since they had now become the food of the Swallowing Talisman.
The 1,000 thunder bolts of Heaven’s punishment in Qingfeng Li’s body were shortly devoured and turned into large amounts of energy which entered his blood, talismans, and spirit nucleus.
As one of the original forces of nature, the Thunder of Heaven’s Punishment contained miraculous energy most of which was swallowed by the Devourer Bloodline while the remaining small part turned into pure thunder strength nursing and healing Qingfeng Li’s wounded muscles, sinews, bones, and internal organs.
Hiss…
Musical hissing sounds came from the inside of Qingfeng Li’s body and after a short while, Qingfeng Li’s wounds were all healed.
