"Boom!"
The two collided, and the Great Moon burst forth with dazzling brilliance. The majestic Qi Force, carrying an extrely violent spiritual energy tornado, swept across the entire ancient battlefield.
Sand, skeletons, Yin Spirits, dense fog... all were scattered by this force!
A mont later, Long Xuhu’s colossal body was sent flying, thrown dozens of feet away. Its long tail, incredibly, split from the middle and shattered into pieces.
"You, your strength is not enough! Not up to par!" Bai Qi coldly watched the flying Long Xuhu, his words chilling.
"Roar!"
Long Xuhu, in rage, let out a resounding dragon roar, casually rubbing its severed tail.
A miraculous thing happened.
On Long Xuhu’s disconnected tail, a hazy green light began to emanate, growing brighter with ti. Eventually, the green light illuminated the entire Cangqiong, revealing all Yin Spirits and behemoths under its glow.
"What is Xu Hu up to?" Li Qingquan frowned, watching the vaguely visible Long Xuhu within the light sphere, and muttered to himself.
Li Qingming cast a glance at Li Qingquan and said, "Do you know which Power of Laws our Master Uncle Nuwa excelled in?"
"Of course, the Creation Power!" Li Qingquan blurted out without hesitation.
"That’s right!" Li Qingming smiled and said, "The reason the Saints are called Saints is that they have fully comprehended a Power of Laws and their blood contains that Law. When Master Uncle created Long Xuhu, I was by her side. This fellow, freshly created, was so clueless that it actually bit Master Uncle’s finger. Master Uncle, in pain, threw it aside. So..."
"Master, you an to say, Long Xuhu possesses the Creation Power?" Yang Jian tily interjected.
"Indeed!" Li Qingming nodded slightly.
"I see!" Only then did Li Qingquan understand.
...
"Bang!"
At this mont, the sky full of green light suddenly converged, and the Long Xuhu within the light sphere finally revealed its form.
It was as Li Qingming had said; Long Xuhu truly triggered the Creation Law Power hidden within its body.
At this mont, not a single sign of injury could be seen on him; not only did he beco more vigorous and fierce, but even his severed tail had regrown. Furthermore, it looked even tougher and more powerful than the previous one.
"What impressive life and creation!" Bai Qi’s eyes flashed, murmuring to himself.
"Boom!"
Long Xuhu roared loudly, and the Wind and Thunder Hamrs in his hands suddenly changed color and fused together, forming a golden hamr the size of a human head.
The dazzling big hamr surged with Evil Qi, the sound of wind and thunder rolling, shining brightly.
"Don’t think just because you have the Creation Power you can battle with . If I directly flatten you into a patty, can your Creation Power still heal you?" Bai Qi made the first move before Long Xuhu could.
He exerted force under his feet, simply taking one step but instantly moving forward, invoking the Star Light Power to form a silver hand that fiercely slapped towards Long Xuhu.
The bright silver palm, covering the sky and blotting out the sun, darkened the entire Void.
This was the ability of the Ancestor Witch, a re hand gesture could cover Cangqiong, striking so hard that space itself violently shook. Bai Qi, his body suffused with fierce Qi, truly wanted to crush Long Xuhu to pieces.
"Damn it, pretty boy, I refuse to believe I can’t beat you!" Long Xuhu raged, fearless, confronting with the huge Wind and Thunder Hamrs in his hands.
His single foot soared into the air, the brilliant Upper Qing True Essence roiling violently, transforming into a Qing-colored battle axe, directly causing the Void to collapse. Then, with a forceful swing of his hands toward the sky, a cracking sound pierced the air.
The huge Star Light hand was actually shattered by Long Xuhu’s battle axe and giant hamr, nature’s spiritual energy surging wildly, moving in all directions, lifting nearby rocks up to Heavenly Vault.
Bai Qi was taken aback; his Star Light hand was caught by this dragon-tiger creature, which truly surprised him! This fellow’s strength compared to before seed to have increased by more than just a little! Could it be that this Creation Power also has the ability to strengthen one’s power?
In fact, not only Bai Qi was shocked, but the other four were also greatly surprised. How was it possible for Long Xuhu? Clearly at an Early Quasi-Saint Cultivation, he was able to withstand an all-out strike from Bai Qi, comparable to the Late Quasi-Saint stage.
"It seems, there’s been a slight change within his Creation Power!" Shakyamuni, who had always been unpopular, suddenly spoke up while touching his smooth head.
"Oh?" Li Qingming was startled upon hearing this, and said with a playful smile, "Fellow Daoist, have you discerned sothing?"
Although he despised the actions of Shakyamuni’s forr life, Zhunti, after all, he had acted for the sake of the Buddhist Sect. If left to himself, it’s doubtful he could have gone to the extent Zhunti did.
Shakyamuni twirled his fingers with a light laugh and said, "Master Li, with your discerning eyes, why need this little monk spell it out?"
Li Qingquan disapproved of the reticent nature of the Buddhist Sect and spoke out frankly, "Zhunti, no! Shakyamuni, if we are to join forces to traverse the Path to Heaven, let’s be clear about so things. Why hide and keep secrets?"
Shakyamuni bowed his head in deep thought for a while before saying, "In that case, this humble monk won’t be coy! Although Master Long possesses the Power of Creation, it was taken by force, and it’s unlikely to heal all his wounds so quickly. In my opinion, he must have grasped so kind of Power of Laws, which combined with the Power of Creation inherent in his bloodline, has led to this transformation!"
Saying so, Shakyamuni looked up at Li Qingming and asked, "Master Li, am I right?"
Li Qingming laughed heartily, "Indeed! Xu Hu has indeed comprehended a Power of Laws—the Life Law!"
"Life Law!!!" Li Qingquan sucked in a gasp of cold air in shock, pressing down the astonishnt in his heart, "Big brother, truly the Life Law?"
"Hehe, Xu Hu is in luck!" Li Qingming stroked his smooth chin, "Now we’re in for a treat. This fellow is basically a mobile healing treasury. When we run out of Elixirs, just a sip of his blood will do—not only for missing limbs but also if you’re but a breath away from the Ghost Gate, he can pull you right back!"
The Long Xuhu who had shattered Bai Qi’s Star Light Giant Palm seed to shiver involuntarily as he thought, "Who’s coveting ?"
Bai Qi stared intently at Long Xuhu, then turned to look at the other four who were talking and laughing breezily, and proclaid, "Boy, if you can withstand my final strike, I will let you pass through the gate!"
As he spoke, Bai Qi swung his large hand, summoning a golden Big Bell. Carved upon the bell were colossal depictions of War with Heaven and Earth from the Witch Tribe.
Bai Qi’s hand shook continuously, the Big Bell stirred Heaven and Earth, and the whole Ancient Battlefield shook, its dazzling light shooting straight into the stars.
The sound of the golden bell echoed through the mountains and rivers, the thick fog that had lingered over the Ancient Battlefield for countless years finally dissipated. Countless skeletal behemoths burst ’crack crack’ into dust.
In an instant, streaks of golden ripples turned into terrifying blades, slashing towards Long Xuhu.
"Witch Artifact!" Long Xuhu’s expression changed, and the large hamr in his hand trembled incessantly under trendous pressure. The bell’s waves surged like overwhelming ocean waves, coming in layers upon layers.
"Damn it, I’m going all out!" Long Xuhu was determined, as he soared into the sky, facing the assault head-on.
"Boy, the final strike!" Bai Qi’s expression was serious as he pressed gently with his hand. The golden Big Bell suddenly dropped with a crash, intent on crushing the oncoming Long Xuhu.
"Break!" Long Xuhu shouted loudly, as his Wind and Thunder Hamr issued a thunderous hum, swirling out, its montum heavy as a mountain, causing the Heavenly Vault to collapse.
"Clang!"
The Wind and Thunder Hamr struck the Big Bell, sending out a deafening boom. Li Qingming and the others not far away felt their ears buzzing, almost unable to hear anything.
"Go!" A verdant green light erupted from Long Xuhu’s body, infusing into the Wind and Thunder Hamr, magnificently overwhelming.
"Boom!"
The Big Bell could no longer withstand the pounding of the Wind and Thunder Hamr. It first resounded loudly, then flew backwards.
"Thud thud thud!"
Facing the flying back golden Big Bell, Bai Qi in his white robes retreated three steps before retrieving the bell.
Looking at the opposite side’s Long Xuhu—though his aura was unstable, yet unscathed—Bai Qi shook his head bitterly, "I lost!"
Li Qingming, who was watching from afar, smiled and stepped forward, his aura bursting with an imnsely terrifying pressure.
This Witch God, a remnant from the last Yanji era, shuddered, feeling the overwhelming force, and after a mont of silence, said, "Once you enter this gate, there’s no turning back. Have you thought this through?"
"Thank you for your advice, Fellow Daoist," Li Qingming said with a bow.
"Rumble rumble..."
The massive city gate, nearly a hundred feet high, swung open, an ancient breath greeting them.
Li Qingming and his companions entered the gate, and suddenly, he asked, "May I ask for your na, Fellow Daoist?"
Bai Qi turned to close the grand doors behind them, replied simply, "Bai Qi!"
"Hisss, Bai Qi!" Li Qingming’s eyes widened in shock, his mind in disarray and unable to sort out any clues, "Isn’t Bai Qi from the Pre-Qin era? How co he appears in the era of the Ancient Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and moreover, with a cultivation reaching the realm of the Ancestor Witch!"
"Big brother, do you know this Bai Qi?" Li Qingquan seeing Li Qingming’s shocked expression, stepped forward to ask.
"Oh? No, I don’t know him!" Li Qingming said, while continually comforting himself inwardly, "It’s just a coincidence of na!"
Regaining his senses from his daze, Li Qingming began to observe the city closely.
The ancient city was desolate and eerily silent. On the streets, it seed as if no one had set foot for tens of thousands of years, the cobblestones mottled, full of the traces of ti.
Having entered the city, Li Qingming and his group had finally arrived at Wanling Pass, unknown how many years it had been standing. It was the last barrier of the Huaxia Great World, leading to the boundless Star Road.
Through these ancient buildings, Li Qingming and his party could tell that this place was once prosperous, ho to many beings cultivating, yet for so unknown reasons, this ancient pass had fallen into desolation, or perhaps, it was sealed deliberately.
