Jiang Tianlin reflexively moved horizontally. However, he suddenly remembered that he had a Dao Artifact protecting his body and comprehended the Laws of Water. Why was he so afraid of his opponent’s seven-colored bow and arrow?

Right now, he was the one who was even more powerful! To be able to unleash a tenth of the power of a dao weapon, what else did he need to be afraid of?

“I don’t believe it. Could it be that I can’t block this move of yours?” Jiang Tianlin gritted his teeth and immediately raised the Heavenly Waterfall in his hand. It turned into a torrent that surrounded him and was firmly defended.

Below, Li Qing held the Eternal Immortal Bow in his hand. It was like a full moon, releasing a strong killing intent. There was a resplendent golden light everywhere, aiming at Jiang Tianlin.

“Li Qing, I won’t fail again this time! I don’t believe you can break through my defense!” Jiang Tianlin roared angrily.

“The Heavenly Waterfall Taoist Artifact attacked heavily but not defended heavily. It doesn’t have much defensive power at all. I can still heavily injure you as many times as I want!” Li Qing stretched out his body and shot a bow into the sky. Power of heaven and earth condensed into a divine arrow. The arrow’s light was more than ten zhang long and pierced through the air!

“Kacha!”

The Seven-Colored Divine Arrow let out a thunderous sound. The light was blazing, causing everyone to close their eyes, unable to face it head-on. It was like millions of stars gathered together, illuminating the universe, the sun, and the moon.

“Pu!”

A streak of blood splashed out, and Jiang Tianlin screamed miserably. His chest was pierced through, and fresh blood dyed the sky red.

A huge hole suddenly appeared in the Dao Artifact Heavenly Waterfall. It was actually pierced through by an arrow, and it took a long time for it to recover.

“Ah, impossible!” Jiang Tianlin’s hair was disheveled and he roared towards the sky. He crazily controlled the Dao Artifact Heavenly Waterfall in his hand and continuously sprayed endless torrents downwards.

“I can’t lose. Die!”

Li Qing turned into a True Dragon and dodged this attack. Then, he returned to his original form. Holding the Eternal Immortal Bow in his hand, he continued to shoot an arrow. It hit Jiang Tianlin’s shoulder and instantly shattered his shoulders and arms.

Jiang Tianlin let out a miserable scream and fell from the sky.

Li Qing took a step forward and stepped on Jiang Tianlin’s chest. He smiled coldly and said, “You failed again!”

“Impossible! How is this possible! I have already comprehended the Laws of the Water Element and have a Dao Artifact protecting my body. How could I lose to you?” Jiang Tianlin’s expression was ferocious.

“With your strength, you might be able to win the championship in the past Martial Arts Conferences. Unfortunately, you met me this time. You can only blame your bad luck.” Li Qing said indifferently.

“Don’t be too complacent. There’s still a long way to go. I can defeat you sooner or later!”

“Then I would like to see if you can continue to make a breakthrough after such a blow. Especially since your arm was pierced by me, I don’t know if you can recover!”

“Wait and see!” Jiang Tianlin glared fiercely at Li Qing. His body was wrapped in a clear light and he disappeared from the arena.

Since then, Li Qing has advanced to the finals.

The next battle was between Dongfang Xueqing and Bamba. In the eyes of most people, Dongfang Xueqing should definitely win this match.

However, things weren’t that simple. The process was beyond everyone’s expectations. It was extremely intense, and the fight was inextricably linked.

This Bamba was so powerful that everyone was shocked. He was practically no weaker than Dongfang Xueqing.

The battle between the two lasted for more than half a day, and there was no way to determine the outcome. Dongfang Xueqing was helpless. She could only activate the War God Transformation and finally defeat this person.

However, since Dongfang Xueqing had activated the War God Transformation and had cooled down for as long as a year, she would no longer be able to use it in the finals of the Martial Arts Convention.

This also meant that Dongfang Xueqing was basically unable to defeat Li Qing this time.

The battle between Li Qing and Dongfang Xueqing had been long awaited by the world. Originally, they thought that there would be a battle between dragons and tigers, but in the end, it ended so hastily, causing everyone to be extremely disappointed.

Although Dongfang Xueqing’s strength was not small even without the War God Transformation, compared to Li Qing, she was not enough.

Under Dongfang Xueqing’s normal state, she should be comparable to a third level Void Realm cultivator. This was a bit weaker than Li Qing.

On the day of the finals, Dongfang Xueqing and Li Qing stood on the arena and looked at each other.

“You know what? After I used the War God Transformation, most people in the world will probably feel that I will definitely lose this Martial Arts Convention.” Dongfang Xueqing said indifferently.

“Could it be that you still have some trump cards?” Li Qing asked.

“Li Qing, you’re very smart. You guessed it all at once. Everyone thinks that the War God Transformation is my strongest trump card, but they don’t know that I actually have other methods.”

“Oh? I don’t know what method it is, but it is even more powerful than the War God Transformation!” Li Qing’s pupils shrank.

In the eyes of the world, War God Transformation could be considered the most powerful battle technique in the War God Palace. How could there be any other method that could be stronger than War God Transformation?

As soon as she finished speaking, a drop of golden blood actually condensed from between Dongfang Xueqing’s eyebrows, emitting an incomparably terrifying might that caused one’s heart to faintly palpitate.

“This is” Li Qing’s expression was grave.

“War God’s Blood Essence!” Dongfang Xueqing closed her eyes, the light between her eyebrows shining brightly, as if a Nine Heavens Profound Maiden had descended into the world, filled with a divine sense.

Golden gaseous flames began to burn on his body, emitting a terrifying might.

At the same time, her strength was also rising steadily. It turned out that she was only comparable to the third level of the Void Realm. In just a few breaths of time, she had already reached the sixth level of the Void Realm.

“Are you crazy? With your current body, how can you withstand the power of the War God’s blood essence?” Li Qing was shocked.

“That’s right, I am indeed crazy. No matter what price I pay, I will defeat you honestly on this arena!” Dongfang Xueqing stood with her spear crossed.

“After activating the Blood Essence of the War God, I’m afraid your body will almost collapse. Is it worth it?”

“It’s worth it! Only by defeating you will I be able to fulfill my long-cherished wish!”

“I’m afraid your strength won’t last long, right?” Li Qing asked.

“In an hour, my strength can only last for an hour. If I can’t defeat you in this period of time, then I will be the one to fail!”

“The borrowed power doesn’t belong to me. Even if you defeat me like this, what’s the point? Besides, I’m afraid you won’t be able to defeat me within an hour.”

“Impossible! No matter how strong you are, you can only survive to the fourth level of the Void Realm. I don’t believe it! An hour is more than enough!”

Dongfang Xueqing’s eyes shone with golden light. She held the Coiling Dragon Spear in her hand and stabbed out with a spear. Its power shook the heavens and earth, and a faint dragon roar could be heard.

Boom!

Li Qing was sent flying without any suspense. His strength at the sixth level of the Void Realm had indeed far surpassed his.

However, he was not easy to provoke. Strong defense was the foundation of his body. Even if he was at the sixth level of the Void Realm, he might not be able to defeat him in a short period of time!

He immediately opened Ancient divine transformation and Primordial Emperor Occult, wearing a layer of Eternal Immortal Clothes. At the same time, a Yin Yang Grinding Wheel appeared in his hand.

Triple defense!

Originally, Li Qing didn’t want to take out the Dao Artifact, but he couldn’t do so now. The Yin Yang Grinding Wheel was also a very special Dao Artifact, but at least everyone knew that it was in Li Qing’s hands, so it wasn’t a big deal to take it out.

When outsiders saw this Yin Yang Grindstone, their eyes lit up. “This is the supreme Dao artifact that the Yin Yang Demon Emperor relied on to dominate the world back then? It is indeed unparalleled in might. Unfortunately, it has been severely damaged now.”

“I’ve finally forced Li Qing’s dao artifact out. I wonder if I can resist Dongfang Xueqing’s attack.”

“This Dongfang Xueqing is really crazy. She didn’t hesitate to pay such a huge price for the title of Number One Under Heaven.”

“The War God Palace Clan has a great cause. There must be a treasure that can completely recover Dongfang Xueqing. What do you have to worry about?”

Dongfang Xueqing held the Coiling Dragon Spear in her hand. Each spear thrust out like a true dragon, hitting the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel, causing Li Qing to retreat repeatedly and vomit blood.

“It’s useless. You’re not my opponent. Why don’t you admit defeat earlier?” Dongfang Xueqing’s aura was like a rainbow, aggressive.

‘”Even though your strength has reached the sixth level of the Void Realm, you can’t really use this power freely. If the real sixth level of the Void Realm was here, I’m afraid I would have already lost. Unfortunately, you still can’t do this!” Li Qing’s gaze was calm.

“As long as I can defeat you!” Dongfang Xueqing continued to launch fierce attacks.

“I’ve been fighting for so long. Now it’s my turn to fight back, right?” Li Qing shouted loudly. The golden light on his body was dazzling and dazzling. He suddenly threw out the Yin Yang Grinding Plate, turning it into a size of several hundred feet.

It was as if a gigantic wheel could crush the heavens and the earth, rumbling through the horizon, completely shattering everything that was blocking it.

The Yin and Yang energies intertwined and rotated, transforming into an extreme crushing force.

Li Qing communicated with Yin-yang Chaos Bottle, continuously absorbing the Yin Yang energy from it and injecting it into the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel, making its power even more powerful.

Unknowingly, he had already unleashed nearly a tenth of the power of this Dao Artifact!

The terrifying gigantic heavenly wheel crushed towards Dongfang Xueqing, causing her to be unable to breathe.

However, she did not show any weakness. She condensed all of the War God’s power into the Coiling Dragon Spear. This top-grade spirit artifact-level spear slowly revived like a living being. It turned into a true dragon that was several hundred feet tall, entangling the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel.

Like stars colliding, the two weapons were violently rubbing against each other, causing sparks to splatter everywhere, inextricably linked.

The Yin Yang Grinding Wheel was of a higher level, but unfortunately, it was damaged, unable to display its full power.

As for the Coiling Dragon Spear, it was an extremely powerful spirit artifact. Although it wasn’t of sufficient grade, it was still able to display its utmost power in Dongfang Xueqing’s hands.

In a flash, the situation became even.

“Heavens, Li Qing is actually able to face Dongfang Xueqing head-on! How strong is this fellow?”

“Dongfang Xueqing is stimulating the strength of the War God’s Blood Essence. I’m afraid she can even compare to the sixth level of the Void Realm. In the end, she is still unable to defeat Li Qing! Why is this year’s contestant so heaven-defying?”

“If the previous Jiang Shuiliu was in front of Li Qing and Dongfang Xueqing, it would be inevitable for them to fail.”

The Coiling Dragon Spear and the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel were entangled in the void, violently colliding, while she herself rushed towards Li Qing’s main body.

The two of them lost their weapons and began a hand-to-hand battle. Dongfang Xueqing’s head was dancing with black hair. With a clear roar, her blood energy soared into the sky. The boundless blood energy seemed to turn into a divine furnace that burned everything.

Li Qing transformed into a golden body of an ancient god. He was majestic, and his divine might surpassed the rest of the world. His movements were extremely powerful. A single strike could shatter mountains and rivers, and turn the earth into powder.

The two of them were like two resplendent suns, colliding with each other, endless rays of light shining in all directions, just like the sun’s true flame falling on the earth.

Fresh blood flew three thousand feet across the sky like a divine rainbow, seductive and beautiful. Li Qing and Dongfang Xueqing fought to the point of going mad, killing all over their bodies with bruises and brutal injuries.

The two of them moved swiftly like lightning, as if two suns were colliding one after another, accompanied by lightning and thunder, blazing brilliance exploding, causing the heavens to tremble and the void to dim.

Blood appeared on his fists, and his bones shattered. It was unbearable to see. A battle of this level was shocking and intimidating to everyone.

Everyone’s hair stood on end in horror, and a layer of tiny lumps formed from fear and hairs. Was a battle of this level really something that Xiantian experts could accomplish?

After fighting for half an hour, the battle finally came to an end.

“You lost!” Dongfang Xueqing’s body was riddled with wounds. She had broken countless bones, but at least she could barely stand up.

She lowered her head and looked at Li Qing who was lying on the ground, her eyes revealing a trace of pride. In this battle, she had obtained the final victory!

“After so many years, I’ve finally defeated you! Yet, this wish!”

“Is that so?” Li Qing smiled faintly. His appearance was much more miserable. After all, Dongfang Xueqing’s strength was comparable to the sixth level of the Void Realm. Winning against him was nothing strange.

“Unfortunately, you seem to have missed something.” Li Qing slowly stood up, his body glittering with purple light. Not long after, his injuries had actually recovered by seventy-seven to eighty-eight percent.

“Haven’t you seen my recovery? You were there when I was pierced through by the Towering Mirror.”

Dongfang Xueqing was dumbfounded, her entire body trembling, “Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could there be a freak like you in this world! I don’t believe it!”

“The obsession in your heart is too strong. In the end, it will only hurt you. I advise you to give up.” Li Qing sighed.

“No, I won’t give up! Even if you can recover, I can still blow you up again!” Dongfang Xueqing’s gaze was cold as she continued to charge towards Li Qing.

…

Fifteen minutes later, Dongfang Xueqing finally fell to the ground unwillingly. She was not Li Qing’s opponent at her peak, and the outcome was already doomed.

“I lost! I still can’t do it!” Her eyes flickered with confusion.

“You have made great progress. As long as you continue to work hard, sooner or later, you will be able to defeat me one day.” Li Qing said.

Dongfang Xueqing looked at Li Qing with a complicated expression. Without saying anything, she was wrapped in a clear light and disappeared from the arena.

Li Qing looked at her disappearing figure and couldn’t help but feel a trace of disappointment in his heart.

“The Martial Arts Convention is over. Li Qing has won the first place!” Everyone looked at the figure on the arena and began to cheer.

“This fellow is simply a freak. He can even defeat Dongfang Xueqing, who activated the blood essence of a wargod. A Xiantian expert who has reached such a formidable level is probably not far behind the Polarity Emperor from back then, right?”

“Speaking of which, what kind of physique is Li Qing? Why did he recover so quickly after being injured?”

“I’ve never heard of such a physique. I think it might be some kind of peerless technique or a special treasure!”

There were also some unique techniques or treasures in the world that could quickly recover from injuries. For example, the branches of the Divine Tree of Life had this effect. However, the effect was far from being so fast, and it was often useless in battles, so it would only be useful afterwards.

After Li Qing came out, someone immediately greeted him and said, “You guys have suffered a lot in this battle. Let’s go back for the time being. After recovering a few days, follow me into the Great Zhou Imperial Palace to receive the reward.”

Li Qing nodded, “Thank you!”

“Haha, Li Qing, congratulations! You’ve won the world’s number one position and become famous all over the world from now on!” Everyone rushed forward and congratulated Li Qing.

Li Qing greeted them one by one and talked politely with them.

After a period of social interaction, he returned to his residence. Liu Ke’er, Wen Xiao Xian, and the rest of their friends were already waiting there.

“Back then, I thought you were extraordinary, Li Qing, but I didn’t expect you to win the first place in the world today!” Lei Zun laughed heartily.

“Truth be told, after Dongfang Xueqing activated the Blood Essence of the War God, I thought you were going to lose, but I didn’t expect you to be so strong and last until the end.” The Wind Lightning Swordsman said.

“Looks like I lost to you. I didn’t lose unfairly.” Fang Zhi Rou said.

“Dongfang Xueqing’s strength is comparable to that of a sixth level Void Realm expert. Doesn’t that mean that Li Qing, you can fight against a sixth level Void Realm expert?”

“That’s not necessarily the case. Dongfang Xueqing’s strength is quite different from that of the sixth level of the Void Realm. Dongfang Xueqing’s strength is only comparable to that of the sixth level of the Void Realm in terms of pure strength, but not in other aspects. Moreover, she has suddenly obtained such a powerful strength, so it is inevitable that she is not proficient enough in using it.”

‘”That’s right. A true sixth level Void Realm doesn’t just represent one’s cultivation. There are many other aspects. For example, comprehending the power of Laws, and being able to control the enormous Power of heaven and earth, one’s strength is definitely stronger than Dongfang Xueqing’s.”

‘”Strength doesn’t mean everything. Only by skillfully utilizing this power can one be a true expert. It’s normal for Dongfang Xueqing to suddenly obtain this power and not be able to comprehend it.”

A few days later, Li Qing received a message and was about to go to the Great Zhou Imperial Palace at the top of Ying Tian Mountain to receive the reward.

A total of thirty-two experts would receive corresponding rewards. Dongfang Xueqing’s expression looked much better. She didn’t know what treasure she had used to recover her original strength, so her strength shouldn’t decrease much.

The foundation of the War God Palace was still very strong.

She turned around and looked at Li Qing with a calm expression. Then, she turned her gaze elsewhere, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.

At this moment, a figure flew down from the sky. Without saying anything else, he waved his sleeve and rolled everyone up and flew towards the top of the mountain.

Not long after, everyone felt the solid ground once again. They looked forward and saw that they had already reached the top of Ying Tian Mountain. A magnificent hall stood in front of them, emitting a divine light of elemental energy, causing people to involuntarily submit from the bottom of their hearts.

This was the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, where the Great Zhou Emperor lived all year round.
