Chapter 153 A Tit for a Tit
The entire mountain was surrounded by the rules of Li Qingshan. In the night, the peak and the ancient palace seemed so dark, contrasting with the brilliant light of Li Qingshan’s rules, like a divine spirit descending, incredibly awe-inspiring.
Xia Wuji stared in awe, feeling an unprecedented sense of security as he looked at Li Qingshan’s majestic figure.
Opposite, the Skeletal Emperor gazed at Li Qingshan, his soul flames seemingly frozen. The flying power of the rules, like countless chains, wrapped around the mountain in thousands.
Li Qingshan had comprehended 500 Rules, each with 6 detailed Rules, totaling 3,000 Rules.
This was a terrifying feat.
“Impossible…” The soul flames of the Skeletal Emperor finally moved. He couldn’t accept the scene before him, unable to believe that Li Qingshan had comprehended three thousand rules in this era where the Great Paths were obscured and Rules were hidden.
The Skeletal Emperor retreated, watching Li Qingshan in shock. He had thought Li Qingshan was just a genius limited by the times, someone he could easily handle. But the situation reversed instantly. He wasn’t foolish; having lived for so long, he knew he had miscalculated. Li Qingshan was not as easy to bully as he had thought, so he retreated to continue observing the situation.
“Why? You’ve only broken through for less than a year. How could you comprehend 3,000 Rules?”
“Previously, when you fought the Ancestral Sacred King of the God Race, you only had two Rule powers.”
“How long has it been?”
The Skeletal Emperor couldn’t fathom this. He stared at Li Qingshan, his primordial spirit fire filled with confusion and disbelief.
Li Qingshan looked at the Rules surging in his palm and said calmly, “To you, it’s been less than a year since I broke through to Emperor, but to me, it has been a lifetime. These 3,000 Rrules are my greatest achievement in this life.”
The Skeletal Emperor looked at Li Qingshan, from seeing a small white rabbit to seeing a great demon king. He retreated into the palace and said, “Emperor Li Qingshan, take him and leave. Let’s call it even. I apologize for my earlier arrogance.”
To the Skeletal Emperor, saving face meant nothing. He wanted practical benefits. Initially, he thought he could devour Li Qingshan and live a second life, but now, he was lucky if Li Qingshan didn’t devour him. Facing Li Qingshan with 3,000 Rules, he knew the fight would be difficult.
So, he backed down.
He didn’t want to clash with Li Qingshan.
But Li Qingshan disagreed.
“When the situation started, you didn’t stop it. Now you want to retreat and beg for mercy? It’s not that easy. I don’t have many friends, but you beat Xia Wuji, hung him up, and stripped him naked. We need to settle this account.” With a flip of his hand, the situation reversed. Li Qingshan, with his hands behind his back and a cold face, walked into the palace. Behind him, three thousand rules swirled like three thousand true dragons, full of power.
Following behind Li Qingshan, Xia Wuji awkwardly said, “No need to be so detailed, a brief summary is enough.”
Li Qingshan ignored Xia Wuji, walked into the dark palace, and coldly looked at the Skeletal Emperor.
The 3,000 Rules behind him lit up the dark hall. Everything in the hall was ancient and dilapidated, the once exquisite decorations were now full of cracks, and the grand statues were broken, leaving only two legs. The Skeletal Emperor stood in the center, his soul flames flickering, staring at Li Qingshan.
“Do you want to fight to the death?” The Skeletal Emperor’s soul flames emitted a gnashing sound.
Li Qingshan coldly looked at him and said, “Fight to the death? You’re not worthy!”
Hearing this, Xia Wuji straightened up, his injuries healed, and he transformed his clothes, returning to his usual unruly self.
The Skeletal Emperor, enraged by Li Qingshan’s words, his soul flames flared up, covering his whole body, burning fiercely. In the next second, under Xia Wuji’s surprised gaze, flesh and blood grew from the skeletal frame, forming veins and organs. In less than three seconds, an elderly man appeared before Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji.
He was a thin old man with sunken cheeks, deep eye sockets, and curly hair, exuding the aura of a wandering ascetic.
“F*ck, you still have this side to you? Then why do you keep showing people your skeleton face?” Xia Wuji said in surprise.
“That’s because a body of flesh and blood depletes one’s life force too quickly. Surviving as a skeleton is lucky enough to last until that path appears,” The elderly man said in a low voice.
He didn’t even look at Xia Wuji, instead staring at Li Qingshan with a gaze full of vigilance, anger, and worry…
He indeed had no confidence in dealing with Li Qingshan.
But now, with Li Qingshan pressing step by step, he had no retreat.
“Emperor Li Qingshan, you are strong, comprehending three thousand rules shortly after breaking through to Emperor. But if you push me too hard, I’ll go all out and return to my peak. Even if you defeat me, you’ll be injured.” The elderly man threatened Li Qingshan.
“What gives you the confidence to say that?” Li Qingshan asked, puzzled.
“You just want to save him. Now I’ll give you the person, and we can mind our own business. I won’t leave the God Forbidden Mountain. Why won’t you let me go?” The elderly man, having retreated again and again, was also angry, staring at Li Qingshan, feeling that he had humbled himself enough, but Li Qingshan kept pushing.
Li Qingshan looked at the angry elderly man and coldly smiled as he said, “When you didn’t know my strength, you were arrogant and triumphant, thinking you had us in the bag. How proud were you then?”
“Now, I’m just treating you the way you treated me. Why are you so angry?” Li Qingshan asked, puzzled.
He didn’t understand this logic.
You wanted to kill me, to devour me for a second life.
Now that I want to kill you, isn’t it only natural?
In a world where the weak are prey to the strong, why are you angry?
The elderly man, enraged and embarrassed by Li Qingshan’s words, said, “I’m an old Emperor with many trump cards. You don’t know that. I just want to live. Because of a mistake, I broke my seal early, saw no hope, and had to extend my life in a skeleton state. I’m already miserable enough. Why don’t you let me go?”
“Let you go?” Li Qingshan calmly shook his head, unmoved, and said, “If we switched places now, would you let me go and not devour me for a second life?”
Hearing this, the elderly man’s heart turned cold. Without hesitation, he went all out.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Emperor’s aura boiled like smoke, overwhelming everything. The Emperor’s laws and rules flew out, surrounding the elderly man.
He wasn’t wrong.
He had many trump cards.
He could indeed sublimate to the extreme.
At this moment, countless divine prohibitions in the God Forbidden Mountain burst forth, emitting endless light, projecting onto the Immortal Plane above. The light surged, the Emperor’s aura vast, far surpassing the current Emperors of the Immortal Plane, making countless people look up in shock.
“Emperor’s aura, and such a strong one, I’ve never seen before.”
“I once experienced it in the Celestial Court’s old Emperors, but I didn’t expect to see it again now.”
“Where does this Emperor’s aura come from?”
“It seems to be from the God Forbidden Mountain!”
“A Forbidden Land…”
The world’s public opinion surged. Knowing the Emperor’s aura came from the Forbidden Land, they dared not speak much.
Even current Emperors dared not step into the forbidden zone.
The Emperors of the Immortal Plane looked at this aura with trepidation, fear, and worry.
“It’s from the God Forbidden Mountain. Is the forbidden zone about to cause trouble?”
“Ancient rumors say the forbidden zone hides great secrets and terrifying Emperors. It seems true.”
“This aura is too terrifying. If it causes trouble, we can’t stop it.”
“No problem, most of the Immortal Plane belongs to the Celestial Court now. If there’s trouble, it’s the Celestial Court’s responsibility.”
The Emperors exchanged words, shifting responsibility, some watching coldly.
In the ancient palace in the God Forbidden Mountain, the thin elder had sublimated to the extreme. His skin had become plump, and his silver hair had also turned black. His thin cheeks and sunken eye sockets had all been restored. Now, he was back to his forties, mature and handsome. He had curly hair and had the aura of a scholar.
His eyes, looking at Li Qingshan, no longer showed worry, fear, or dread, but rather fearlessness and determination.
After reaching the limit of sublimation, his life could only continue to live according to this life. The Emperor’s life, which he originally had, was being depleted even faster. A year was equivalent to a hundred years, or even a thousand years. He basically had no fate with the Supreme Path.
Therefore, he could be said to have given up everything to fight Li Qingshan.
“The young Emperor, no matter how much Rule power you comprehend, you can’t use it properly. You are still no match for my integrated Rules. My life has no hope, so I will drag you down with me.” After sublimating to the extreme, he was no longer burdened, and he coldly looked at Li Qingshan, his eyes bursting with killing intent.
“Let’s go, to the starry sky for a battle!” he said resolutely, his fighting spirit high. Even though Li Qingshan was very powerful, he now had no scruples. Even if he died in battle, he would drag Li Qingshan down with him.
Li Qingshan watched coldly the entire time and said indifferently, “There is no need to go to the starry sky.”
“Fight here?” The elderly man looked at Li Qingshan and suddenly laughed. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you, there are many Emperors still sleeping here. If you wake them up and they miss the Supreme Path, they will go mad. Among them are several with terrifying comprehension of the rules. If you want to die, then fight here.”
“No, I mean, just solve it calmly here,” Li Qingshan shook his head slowly, extended his hand, and then, under the elderly man’s surprised gaze, lightly turned it.
Ka ka!
In the void, the sound of gears turning came.
The elderly man was initially puzzled. What was Li Qingshan doing?
But in the next second, ka ka ka, the sound of gears turning accelerated uncontrollably, making the elderly man’s eyes widen.
He realized that time was moving.
Everything around them was rapidly reversing.
In an instant, he reverted from his state of extreme sublimation as an Emperor back to his aged state.
The next moment, he returned to a skeletal state.
In the next moment, he returned to his youthful days.
At that time, he hadn’t yet broken through to the Emperor and was still at the Immortal King level.
At this moment, Li Qingshan stopped the reversal of time and looked at Xia Wuji, “Both of us are at the Immortal King level. Although I’m one small level higher than you, do you have confidence?”
Xia Wuji sneered, clenched his fists, and said viciously, “Can I strip him naked and hang him up for a beating?”
