Giving Everything!!

A grim, murderous chill hung between heaven and earth. Both Li Guanqi and the scarred-face man clearly regarded each other as deadly adversaries. Not only Li Guanqi; even the scarred man felt a surge of shock upon sensing Li Guanqi forcefully breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. "What a terrifying boost... Just what kind of method did he use?" "Those markings... Could it be the Divine-Patterned Sky Radish?!" "How can that be?! Impossible!!" Li Guanqi drew a deep breath. Giving the man no time to think, he shot forward in an instant. Pengluo could not sustain this state for long, and the radish's power was only on par with that of the enemy's Gu insect. Yet Pengluo's ability was peculiar—it inflicted no harm upon Li Guanqi. Boom! The void beneath their feet shattered with a thunderous roar, horrifying power venting wildly into nothingness. Li Guanqi's voice reached the ears of the three elders who had come to back him up: "Seniors, go assist the others! Leave this place... to me!" The three elders exchanged glances, the grey-robed elder's eyes betraying relief at surviving a calamity. Without hesitation, the three spun around and charged to slay another enemy cultivator. As for Li Guanqi and the scarred man... Boom! Boom! Boom! Clang! Clang! Clang, clang, shing! Terrifying blasts erupted incessantly as metal clashed like a torrential downpour. Two afterimages flickered frantically in midair. With his sword gripped in his left hand, Li Guanqi traced streaks of afterimages through the sky. Their speed reached the absolute extreme—so fast that even some Mahayana realm cultivators could not follow their movements at all. Fast! Blindingly fast! The spider legs at the scarred man's flanks thrust like sharp spears as both hands wielded his sword. Li Guanqi felt immense pressure. Facing this scarred man, it felt as though he were contending against six top-tier swordsmen at once! Screeech! Sparks flew the instant Red Lotus scraped across the spiritual sword! Li Guanqi murmured inwardly: "Lethality, Spirit Absolution, Illusory Form, Blade Break!" Boom! In an instant, Li Guanqi's aura underwent a complete transformation, his pinnacle Sword Soul realm sword intent suddenly erupting! The terrifying sword intent surged straight into the clouds like a pillar of purple light. A blood-red phantom of a sword soul materialized behind Li Guanqi. The spiritual sword in the scarred man's grip instantly shattered! The moment it burst apart, Li Guanqi swept his blade upward with ferocious power! Slash! A cloud of blood mist burst from the man's shoulder, and his right ear was sent flying high into the air. Lightning erupted at the wound, leaving it charred, mangled, and bloody. Thud! Clang! Golden sword light surged incessantly from the sword in the man's hand as his spider legs thrust forward violently, the blade slashing down brutally toward Li Guanqi's head! Li Guanqi's expression remained unchanged. Slipping back half a step, he precisely evaded the reach of the spider legs. Raising his sword to parry, a monstrous force surged from the blade. As his body was forced into a violent retreat, the dragon scales across the webbing of his left hand cracked and shattered! Both hurtled back over a hundred zhang, yet before the man could even arrest his momentum, Li Guanqi had already reappeared right before his eyes! The man's expression darkened as the spider limbs beneath his ribs struck at Li Guanqi once more in a frenzy. Dropping low, Li Guanqi tightened his left hand's grip on the hilt and slashed out at blinding speed! Swish, swish, swish! Crimson light flickered along Red Lotus's edge, its horrifying sharpness slicing right through the man's spider limbs! "Argh!" A shriek of agony tore from his throat. The instant the man swung his sword downward, Li Guanqi had already seized the severed spider leg and hurled it violently forward! The moment he threw it, Li Guanqi kicked hard against the fractured end. Instantly, the golden spider leg transformed into a streak of golden light, shooting forward like a bolt. Its terrifying velocity brought with it piercing, shrieking howls. Whoosh! Squelch! The scarred-face man had no time to dodge at all; the wrist-thick spider leg punched straight through his abdomen! At the same time, boundless lightning power emerged from the void directly along the man's retreat path. The terrifying lightning surged like a sea of thunder, engulfing the man from all sides! Li Guanqi's eyes flickered with resolve, and his right hand pressed down abruptly into empty air toward the man! In an instant, the thunder sea shifted, the crackle and hiss of lightning resembling the cries of ten thousand birds. The lightning coalesced into a colossal palm, which, fused with the power of space, pinned the man firmly where he stood! Li Guanqi glared with bloodshot eyes, roaring: "Spirit Incantation One Hundred Forty-Six: Hundred Realms Four-Direction Barrier!" Boom! Layer upon layer of purple lightning formed square barriers, stacking outward. Yet the opponent's power was formidable as well, and somehow, the severed spider legs regenerated once more. The four barrier layers that had just formed were instantly pierced from within by the golden spider legs! Crack, crack! Boom! Boom! Boom! Barrier after barrier was torn apart as rampant Geng Metal power rampaged in every direction. Li Guanqi's divine sense surged violently, and the primal energy within him roared as layer upon layer of barriers materialized without pause. No matter how many barriers the man tore through, new ones formed in rapid succession. Clenching his teeth as blood dripped from his nose, Li Guanqi let out a roar, and the hundred layers of barriers snapped shut in unison! Li Guanqi cast out his sword, manipulating Red Lotus to execute a barrage of rapid slashes! Over a dozen hundred-zhang sword rays erupted in an instant! "Spirit Incantation Seventy-Eight: Four-Direction Heaven-Reaching Pillars!!" Across the vault of heaven, dark clouds surged to blot out the sky and sun. Amid the churning purple lightning, dozens of sealing thunder pillars took form, impaling straight through the barrier! The surrounding cultivators locked in combat were shaken to the core by this spectacle, their strikes involuntarily slowing. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! As the sword light struck home, terrifying explosions detonated one after another. Li Guanqi hovered in midair, his chest heaving violently. The relentless barrage of attacks had drastically depleted the primal energy within his body. Though he held quite a few immortal crystals in his hands, to him, they were practically useless ornaments for now. After all, he had not yet broken through to the Mystic Immortal realm, making it impossible for him to absorb the immortal spiritual energy sealed within immortal crystals. Crushing several purple gold crystals, he inhaled the dense spiritual energy enveloping him like a whale swallowing the sea. Upon descending to the lower realm, these immortals suffered suppression from the laws of two realms, which forcefully converted their cultivation realms and immortal essence into primal energy. Were it not for this, Li Guanqi and the others would never have been qualified to stand against descended cultivators wielding immortal essence. The violent lightning energy had blanketed several thousand zhang of the void. As the horrifying thunder gradually dissipated, it revealed a shattered golden spiderweb! At some point, the scarred-face man had exploited the traits of the Abyssal Red-Gold Spider to weave a spherical web! Now covered in cracks, the fractured web slowly fell away into the void. Dripping with blood from head to toe, the man panted like a bull, looking up at Li Guanqi with eyes filled with wariness and dread. He could not fathom how Li Guanqi, a mere fellow who had not even formally broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, could unleash such monstrous power! When Li Guanqi saw him, he could not help but draw a sharp breath as well. Though he already knew his foe was exceedingly difficult to deal with, he had not anticipated the man could survive an onslaught like that.
