Chapter 1598: Opening a Sliver (2)
Editor: Atlas Studios
In the instant when Li ngtu’s expression drastically changed, Xu Qing imdiately charged forward.
When his punch landed, the space collapsed.
Li ngtu was currently in a weakened state after enduring the price of the regeneration authority. Facing Xu Qing’s punch, he was sent flying and coughed large mouthfuls of blood.
Xu Qing rushed over furiously and punched out again.
Xu Qing continued to chase and attack, while Li ngtu was forced to retreat again and again. He spat out mouthfuls of blood and the ripples in his mind were even greater.
Seeing that he was in danger, Li ngtu raised his right hand and pointed at the sky.
Imdiately, the sky churned and illusory towers suddenly appeared. There were a total of 9,000 of them!
The appearance of these 9,000 illusory towers was majestic. As Li ngtu’s right hand landed, the 9,000 illusory towers descended like rain.
They headed straight for Xu Qing and blocked him.
Xu Qing’s cultivation surged. His right hand grabbed at the air and the Emperor Sword appeared. One person and one sword headed straight for the towers.
The sword energy along the way was shocking and destructive.
From a distance, one could see the towers in front of him collapsing into ruins.
The rumbling sound was deafening.
This battle, up to this point, had been extrely challenging for Xu Qing
Li ngtu’s techniques were the most nurous among any Rulers he had ever encountered, and his authorities were particularly uncanny. Even with all of Xu Qing’s trump cards unleashed, the fight remained a deadlock.
A similar feeling surfaced in Li ngtu’s heart, especially since he was currently in a weak state. Determination appeared in his eyes.
Taking advantage of the mont when the 9,000 illusory towers blocked Xu Qing, he swiftly ford hand seals and repeatedly tapped various points on his own body.
With every tap, a rune would appear on his body.
Every rune was extrely complicated, as though it was ford by tens of thousands of tiny runes.
After 108 tis, 108 rune marks appeared on his body. When they flowed through his entire body, they arranged themselves to form an array formation.
“Seal, open!”
Li ngtu roared.
Imdiately, the array formation ford by runes on his body erupted and appeared in front of his body. The runes inside rapidly rotated and expanded.
It directly expanded by ten tis.
After it rotated again, it instantly spread out and was magnified by a hundred tis.
After that, it was a thousand tis, ten thousand tis.
Finally, what appeared between heaven and earth was an earth-shattering array formation that emitted a resplendent golden light. At the sa ti, the power of a god actually seeped out from inside and outside the array formation.
This power surpassed the Flawless Realm and had reached the Divine Platform!
This array formation was actually an array formation that sealed gods.
With the formation now unraveled, the divine aura suddenly descended. Along with it, a colossal hand erged within the vast array!
To be precise, this was a Divine Platform realm god. Its severed right hand was sealed in Li ngtu’s body and beca his trump card!
The hand that appeared was rough and purplish-red, covered in tiny tentacles and eyes, looking exceedingly grotesque and terrifying.
As It erged, the sky and earth seed to change color, and a strange aura began to rise, with faint whispers spreading in all directions.
Outsiders couldn’t understand these murmurs but Xu Qing had the body of a god. When these murmurs landed in his ears, they gradually beca clearer.
What It said was two words.
“Human pill!”
Li ngtu also said the sa words.
The instant the words echoed through the world, the huge god’s severed hand grabbed at Xu Qing!
Xu Qing’s body trembled. The might of the Divine Platform erupted from the god’s hand and landed on Xu Qing’s body, causing the cracking sounds of bones to ring out from his entire body.
His body distorted, his soul distorted, and everything was distorted.
It was as if he was being grasped tightly in a giant palm, with the intent to crush him into a sphere, transforming him into a… Blood-Flesh Human Pill!
During this process, Li ngtu suffered as well, but killing Xu Qing was incredibly difficult. Therefore, unsealing the god’s hand was the option he chose after careful consideration, as it was the thod that required the least sacrifice on his part.
However, at this mont, a change suddenly occurred on Xu Qing’s body!
The one who acted wasn’t the Star Fla, but rather… a lazy voice, seemingly sealed within Xu Qing’s body, which echoed out at this critical mont.
“There was a little poser nad Xu Qing who went out to train. A few years later, this little poser returned safely.”
That was Jade Flowing Dust’s story.
It was also Jade Flowing Dust’s blessing.
The severed hand ca from a Divine Platform, and Jade Flowing Dust… was also a Divine Platform.
At this mont, the voice echoed, creating a confrontation between gods. In the next instant, the severed hand released by Li ngtu’s sealing formation suddenly trembled, loosened Its grip, and slowly retracted.
Jade Flowing Dust’s voice also dissipated.
The distortion that happened to Xu Qing no longer continued. As blood gushed out, Xu Qing raised his head with difficulty and stared fixedly at Li ngtu, whose expression was extrely gloomy.
He charged over.
Li ngtu’s breathing beca rapid as an intense sense of life-and-death crisis exploded within him. Yet, instead of diminishing, his killing intent only grew stronger at this critical juncture.
“This is what a life-and-death battle truly is—excellent, excellent!”
As he spoke, Li ngtu raised his hand, and an ancient scroll exuding a primordial aura appeared in his grasp.
“Xu Qing, you’re worthy of sacrificing 30% of my lifespan permanently to unfurl this ancestral painting!”
The ancestral painting was sothing that only Li ngtu could open within the entire Li clan, but it was also the item he was most reluctant to use.
If he didn’t use it, it would have been fine, but once unfurled, the cost was too imnse, exceeding all other prices he could pay.
Even to open just a sliver of it required sacrificing 30% of his lifespan.
Years ago, he had used it once, and now… he had no choice but to use it a second ti!
At that mont, as Li ngtu retrieved the scroll, in the instant when Xu Qing’s mind was violently stirred, Li ngtu hesitated no longer. He raised his hand and fiercely pulled, partially unrolling the scroll…
Just a sliver!
There was no way to resist it.
There was no way to dodge.
From that narrow opening in the scroll, a black light burst forth.
This light… instantly enveloped the heavens and the earth, covering everything, encompassing all.
In the blink of an eye, Li ngtu snapped the scroll shut. His heavy breathing could no longer be suppressed, echoing all around, as mouthfuls of blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth.
As for his surroundings…
Other than him, there was no other figure.
Xu Qing had disappeared without a trace and was sealed in the scroll!
“It’s over…”
“This battle has been the most difficult one since I embarked on the path of the Dao!”
Li ngtu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and endured the weakness of his body and soul. He lowered his head and looked at the scroll in his hand.
“The fact that the inheritance didn’t return to my body ans that he’s not dead yet…”
Although he couldn’t see the inside, according to the last words of the clan’s ancestor back then, this scroll ca from the origin land of their bloodline.
“That place is called Profound Earth.”
Li ngtu mumbled and fell silent.
“His death is inevitable and it shouldn’t be long before he dies. However, in order to prevent any accidents, I will suppress him in the clan’s restricted area and use the enhancent of the bloodline to make him die as soon as possible!”
Li ngtu took a deep breath and turned to fly toward the horizon.
