Chapter 1652: Contest of Strength
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
As a newly-accepted inner disciple of the Myriad sect, the Qingyang Master was also standing in the crowd, but he was still rather proud about his current identity, so he stood relatively further away.
When he heard Li Qingshan’s name, his heart lurched as well. He never expected to meet him in person so soon too. When he heard the words “Demon God”, he could already sense that something was amiss, but apart from casting two protective techniques, he did not have the time to do anything else. He did not possess the courage to desert the battle either. When the other inner disciples launched their attacks, he could only follow along too.
At this moment, he widened his eyes fearfully, watching in disbelief as the lofty direct disciple was slain on the spot. He also vaguely made out the criss-crossing white lines in the air.
The white lines passed by like an extremely sharp scythe through a wheat field. The inner disciples in front of him all collapsed.
He rapidly retreated, immediately moving several dozen metres back. However, the criss-crossing white lines had already arrived before his eyes, enveloping everything and completely undodgeable.
I’m done for!
At this moment, the white lines gradually twisted and thickened before suddenly vanishing into the air, replaced by shrill howls.
As it turned out, each white line was a wind blade. Every wind blade turned into a great gust of wind and formed a true storm together.
With a bang, his two protective techniques shattered. The Qingyang Master was clearly shooting backwards, but he felt like he had just struck a wall. Blood spurted from his mouth violently, which was blown back into his face as soon as it left his mouth. He was blown away.
His face was covered in blood and his body wracked with pain, but at that moment, he only felt the joy of surviving.
Rumble! There was a thunderous boom.
The storm was no longer tied down in any shape or form. It completely released its energy, blowing away several dozen buildings like it was unstoppable. Tiles and splinters filled the air. The sky suddenly darkened. Several pillars that could only be embraced by several people holding hands were thrown into the air like hay.
Meanwhile, the Qingyang Master was like a fallen leaf, blown into the sky freely by the wind and taken far away from the Pavilion of Heavenly Tomes. However, when he peered down at Myriad city below, the ruins formed a fan shape around the “monster’s” gaping mouth, which left him absolutely astounded.
Probably only the might of the world can match these abilities! This ‘monster’ is Miaozhenzi’s husband, Li Qingshan!
Everything occurred in a split second, so fast that even Yang Soul cultivators almost could not react.
In the blink of an eye, a direct disciple had perished and almost half of the inner disciples had been massacred. The brutality even stunned the direct disciples.
Only at that moment did they completely understand what the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance was saying. Li Qignshan had already become a Demon God, while the new divine star that had appeared in the air during the recent years was the daemon star of misfortune, Yinghua.
Dai Mengfan recalled the night when the daemon star first emerged, when a true god perished.
The crisis of the world is already imminent. He is the daemon star of misfortune!
However, as the first senior sister of the Myriad sect, she could not leave with the wind like the Qingyang Master. With her lips pursed, she made up her mind and took out a jade seal that glistened with golden light. This was her lifebound arcane treasure. Once it was destroyed, the consequences would be tremendous, but she could not care that much anymore. She tossed the jade seal into the air.
The jade seal swelled in the wind, turning into the size of a hill in the blink of an eye and crushing down over the “monster’s” head.
Strangely enough, after letting out that terrifying roar, the “monster” seemed to be heavily injured as well. He collapsed forwards and caught his body with his hands. The ground immediately cracked and sank.
With a boom, the jade seal smashed down on his head, which was almost pressed into the ground. However, he did not pay any attention to Dai Mengfan, instead looking back at the Pavilion of Heavenly Clouds and letting out powerful killing intent.
The bronze bells under the eaves of the Pavilion of Heavenly Clouds were disturbed by the great winds, so they chimed away jarringly.
By now, the thick mist had dispersed, and the sun emerged in the east. An old man in black stood on the balcony connected to the highest floor of the Pavilion of Heavenly Tomes, gazing down at Li Qingshan below with his tranquil and deep eyes. He met the scarlet eyes, but he remained unfazed as always.
No matter what kind of destruction Myriad city faced or if their disciples were butchered, none of it could perturb him. Perhaps it was better to say that everything was within his expectations.
He spread his arms and his wide sleeves buffeted in the wind. He spread his fingers and cupped both hands. A crystal ball hovered between his curved fingers, which was the formation core of the Myriad formation.
The colour of the crystal ball was as dark as the depths of the ocean. Only Li Qingshan was vaguely present inside, no matter what shape or form he had taken.
The Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas!
Li Qingshan definitely was not unfamiliar with this move, but only when he was the target did he truly experience its might. It was as if he was thousands of metres under the ocean, where every inch of his skin endured several thousand tonnes of pressure.
When regular cultivators pushed formations to their limit, they were only unleashing the power behind the formation itself. Meanwhile, the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance had merged with the Myriad formation, combining all of his cultivation with it.
The original functions of the Myriad formation completely exceeded the Seventy-two Pentads formation of the Hundred Herbs garden as well, but the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance was extremely aware that these functions were all useless before the clone of a true god. It would only increase his openings. As a result, there were no flashy tricks, no elemental attacks, only suppression from absolute power.
Li Qingshan required all of his strength to contend against it. Shen Yushu’s body had not been tempered or forged in any way, so it did not even last for a split second under the contest of strength between these two terrifying powers, immediately exploding as a bloody mist.
Li Qingshan had used the opportunity to kill Wang Junxing and a direct disciple, avenging Dong Dagong and the others somewhat, but he obviously could not contend against the suppression of the Myriad formation when he unleashed his innate ability at full force. Whatever power he put into his attacks was the same amount he would be receiving.
And if he ignored these direct disciples and focused on destroying the formation, he would definitely face obstruction, which would become the final straw. A clash between absolute power had never permitted any distractions at all. However, given the situation, killing these direct disciples would be quite tedious too.
The Myriad formation had cut him off from the outside world, so his depleted spiritual qi could not be replenished. Meanwhile, the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance had an endless supply of spiritual qi given the blessed land that the Myriad sect was founded on. He was basically untouchable.
As a result, the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance’s intentions in gathering these direct disciples became very clear. They were for him to kill.
Succeeding with her attack, Dai Mengfan beamed with joy inside and demonstrated her dignity and might as the first senior sister again. She called out, “Don’t stop! Keep attacking! If anyone flees, that’ll be betrayal!”
The direct disciples had begun considering retreating, but right now, they were all reinvigorated too. They felt like Li Qingshan was not exactly undefeatable anymore! For the first time, they felt some admiration towards this “first senior sister”.
Leng Yuan immediately struck out. The ring of ice revolved around his body, functioning as both defence and offence, producing thousands of streaks of cold light. The giant frost wolf under him also opened its mouth and spat out ice flames that filled Li Qingshan’s face, basically as a reply to his tiger’s roar from earlier.
At this moment, a person sneered among the direct disciples. “If you want to die, go ahead. I’ll be taking my leave first!” He immediately turned into a streak of light and made his way out of the city.
“Pi Yangqiu!!”
Dai Mengfan was both surprised and furious. She rarely ever participated in the military affairs of Black Cloud city, so she was not particularly skilled at giving orders on the battlefield, but she understood the will of the people. In a life-threatening battle like this, if they could not keep deserters in check in time, it would definitely lead to defeat.
Sure enough, apart from Leng Yuan, the other direct disciples were swayed. They hesitated and did not attack. The morale they had just gathered all bled away.
