The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 844
Chapter 844 Great War of the Righteous Demons (5)
It was almost impossible for an expert at the fifth level of the Void Realm to defeat an existence at the peak of the Void Realm. Unless it was the reincarnation of the Extreme Emperor, it would be utterly delusional.
Not to mention, Patriarch Xuanji was not an ordinary peak Void Realm cultivator. He had even comprehended the power of the Grand Dao. He had faintly touched that threshold, and his strength was even greater than that of an ordinary person.
Li Qing had once killed Lord Goshawk, who was at the peak of the Void Realm, but that was only under sneak attack. No one would think that relying on Li Qing’s hard strength could defeat a person at that level.
The fact that he could fight Patriarch Xuanji like this now had already shocked everyone. As for defeating Patriarch Xuanji, it was something they didn’t even dare to imagine.
It was under this careless mentality that Patriarch Xuanji continuously used his own strength to circulate the Jade Pure Treasure Talisman and compete with Li Qing.
However, Li Qing’s defense was beyond imagination. The Black Tortoise Divine Beast was also known as the number one defense in the world. Even with Patriarch Xuanji’s strength, it could not be successfully refined in a hurry.
After more than two hours of competition, Patriarch Xuanji had a faint intention to retreat. If this continued, if he had not refined Li Qing after exhausting all of his strength, he would be in a dangerous situation.
But just now, Li Qing had made a bet with him that the two sides would compete in front of everyone. If Patriarch Xuanji removed the Jade Pure Treasure Talisman, wouldn’t that mean that he couldn’t defeat that brat?
This was an unacceptable thing for Patriarch Xuanji, who had a good face.
After becoming an expert of the Void Realm, face was a very important thing. He would not give up easily, and would only act with dignity when his life was in jeopardy.
Especially the Righteous path experts, who valued face more than their own lives.
“Forget it, I really don’t believe that with my strength, I can’t refine this tortoise shell!”
“I am a peak Void Realm existence. After comprehending a portion of the Great Dao’s power, how can I be afraid of this tiny fifth level Void Realm? Just now, my Dao Heart was shaken. I really shouldn’t have!” Patriarch Xuanji regained his confidence.
Another two hours later, Patriarch Xuanji was still unable to refine Li Qing. He couldn’t help but feel anxious and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“This is simply a tortoise shell! No way! If this goes on, it will be too disadvantageous. He only needs to stay there to defend. However, I have set up such a huge Jade Pure Treasure Talisman Array. The amount of energy consumed is several times that of the other party. No matter how high my cultivation base is, I will not be able to withstand it!”
Li Qing’s head drilled out of the tortoise shell. This tortoise shell had been refined by the other party for more than half. If this continued, he would not be able to hold on any longer.
“It’s time. After consuming so much of his opponent’s strength, it’s my turn to retaliate!” Li Qing’s gaze was dark as he communicated with the power of the Ascension Heavenly Palace, wanting to break through the void and escape from the prison.
However, in the next moment, the expression on his face froze. This Jade Pure Treasure Talisman Array actually contained the function of sealing the void, so he couldn’t escape.
“Holy shit, why do you always ignore this point?” Li Qing almost cursed.
“Fortunately, I have many methods. No matter how dangerous the situation is, I can still find a solution.” He thought quickly in his mind.
“There’s one more thing that I haven’t used since I got it. Let’s try its power today.”
Li Qing changed his human form again, and a small cyan cauldron appeared in his hand.
When Patriarch Xuanji saw this scene, he was immediately overjoyed, “Haha, I’ve finally broken this tortoise shell. Li Qing can’t hold on any longer. I can refine him immediately.”
Thinking about how he was about to kill this famous Demon Ancestor Inheritor, a ripple appeared in his heart.
In the next moment, he saw the small cyan cauldron in Li Qing’s hand tossing upwards. It rose in the wind and turned into a colossus that was several hundred feet tall.
“Kid, stop struggling. So what if you have some treasures in your hands? Even if your strength is limited, it’s impossible for you to go against the heavens!” Patriarch Xuanji laughed.
However, before he could laugh for long, his voice suddenly stopped. Then, he widened his eyes and saw that the sky in front of him was filled with Jade Pure Treasure Talismans. The invisible true fire suddenly dissipated. The Jade Pure Treasure Talismans also melted like snow under the sun. He felt that he had lost control of the world in front of him.
“How is that possible? What kind of treasure is that? I have already comprehended a portion of the power of the Dao of Creation. It shouldn’t have been like this. Why did such a strange thing happen?” Patriarch Xuanji said in disbelief.
The giant cyan cauldron Li Qing took out was of course the Xia Emperor Cauldron that he had obtained in the starry sky. The moment this cauldron appeared, it instantly took control of a region of space. The earth, mountains, and rivers were all used by him, and the power of nature was also closing in on him. It was normal for Patriarch Xuanji to be unable to compete with Li Qing.
Li Qing controlled Xia Emperor Cauldron and gathered the power of heaven and earth to suppress Patriarch Xuanji. He turned into a cage, preventing him from escaping.
“Feng Shui, you trapped me just now and refined me very readily, didn’t you? It’s my turn now!” A cold smile appeared on Li Qing’s face. He held the Heavenly Saber in his hand and walked towards Patriarch Xuanji step by step.
This Patriarch Xuanji had consumed most of his strength just now, and his strength had greatly decreased. Facing Xia Emperor Cauldron’s suppression, he was unable to escape. His expression couldn’t help but change drastically.
“Your cyan cauldron is actually a Dao Artifact!” He couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. “Isn’t your luck too heaven-defying? The Dao artifacts in your hands are simply endless, unbelievable!”
“This cyan cauldron can control a region of the world. Even I, a cultivator of the Dao of Creation, am unable to compete. Furthermore, I am also a Dao Artifact. I am quite similar to the Cosmos Cauldron of the Cosmos Sect.”
“And the Cosmos Cauldron originated from the Nine Cauldrons of the Xia Emperor. From this, one can guess that your cyan cauldron should be one of the legendary Nine Cauldrons of the Xia Emperor!”
In this short period of time, he had already guessed the origin of this cauldron.
Li Qing did not reply. His expression was cold as he held onto the Heavenly Saber and slashed down with a decisive and fierce move.
The two sides were hundreds of feet away, but the blade of the Heavenly Saber directly crossed space and landed on top of Patriarch Xuanji’s head.
It was precisely the fifth move of the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor
This Patriarch Xuanji was suppressed by Xia Emperor Cauldron’s power, and before he could use his trump card to escape, who would have expected Li Qing’s Heavenly Saber to arrive so quickly? A look of shock immediately appeared on his face.
In such a situation, there was no way to dodge it, so he could only forcefully carry it!
However, when he thought of the legends of the Heavenly Saber, his face revealed a terrified expression, causing his movements to slow down by a beat. Only when the Heavenly Saber reached his eyes did he react and immediately took out a jade spirit ruler to block it.
Kacha!
With a crisp sound, this jade spirit ruler was sliced in half by the Heavenly Saber without any suspense. Immediately after, it landed on Patriarch Xuanji’s body without the slightest hindrance.
“Ah–”
A miserable scream rang out. Patriarch Xuanji’s body split into two and fell from the sky. It looked extremely miserable.
An existence at the peak of the Void Realm had fallen into Li Qing’s hands!
A primordial spirit flew out from inside and fled into the distance. As a result, Li Qing’s light saber slashed the ghost spirit and shattered the peak Void Realm primordial spirit.
“Originally, I only intended to defeat this old man and it would be a success, but I didn’t expect that it would far exceed my expectations and kill this person!” Li Qing was also stunned.
An expert at the peak of the Void Realm was not so easy to kill. Even if Patriarch Xuanji’s strength was greatly reduced and he had used up almost all of it, it was still unlikely that he would be trapped if he risked his life.
The moment Li Qing used Xia Emperor Cauldron to suppress Patriarch Xuanji, he immediately used the fifth move of the Demon Emperor’s Nine Slashes to break through the heavens. He could only defeat him before the other party could react.
If there was the slightest hesitation, then Patriarch Xuanji would definitely be able to escape if he put away his contemptuous attitude and used some trump card.
In the end, when Skyblade was about to arrive, Patriarch Xuanji started to panic. It was a little too late.
The surroundings were silent. Originally, the two sides had fought each other in a great battle, and the fight was very fierce. However, at this moment, they all stopped at the same time and looked at Li Qing’s side with a whoosh.
“Impossible, right? Did I look blurry just now? Patriarch Xuanji actually died at Li Qing’s hands?” Their eyes widened.
“Really? An existence at the peak of the Void Realm actually failed in the face-to-face battle with Li Qing? Then Li Qing probably used some sort of sneak attack, right?”
‘”I also noticed that Patriarch Xuanji used the Jade Pure Treasure Talisman to refine Li Qing for several hours. He should have exhausted all of his strength and was hit back by Li Qing. In the end, he accidentally died under the Heavenly Saber!”
It had to be said that Li Qing possessed the Heavenly Saber. That was definitely a terrifying weapon. As long as he was struck, he would undoubtedly die.
If Patriarch Xuanji was hit by another weapon, he should have a high chance of surviving. However, if he was hit by Heavenly Saber, he wouldn’t even have a chance to regret it.
Thinking of this, their scalps couldn’t help but go numb. Peak Void Realm experts were extremely difficult to kill, but in front of Li Qing, they seemed to be able to kill at will. This was a tremendous deterrent.
Originally, Righteous path had a large number of Void Realm experts and held the upper hand, but this was disturbed by Li Qing. Instantly, the morale of the Void Realm experts in Diabolism was somewhat low, allowing them to catch their breath.
“I’ve underestimated this brat. Killing a peak Void Realm cultivator in a head-on battle is a true ability. It’s not like killing Lord Goshawk by sneak attack in the past.” The Great Elder couldn’t help but sigh.
“Li Qingkong’s attack is equivalent to an additional peak Void Realm existence on our side. It can also be considered as pulling back a considerable gap.”
