Li Guanqi stared sharply at the elder across from him.
By now, Lu Tiancheng was already regretting being careless enough to show himself here.
Had he taken the Realm-Breaking Immortal Butterfly and left immediately, nothing would have happened.
Yet Li Guanqi had arrived too fast.
The moment Lu Tiancheng broke through the Great Xia Sword Sect's concealed barrier, the spatial ripples of Li Guanqi's arrival had already surfaced.
It seemed the boy had prepared contingencies long in advance.
After sensing Li Guanqi's current aura, Lu Tiancheng had felt an itch to test him.
Never had he imagined Li Guanqi's mind would be so sharp, or that he would seize an opening with such relentless ferocity!
Having finally cornered Lu Tiancheng after so much hardship, how could Li Guanqi possibly let him escape so easily?
Even if a gap in cultivation realms remained between them, he was willing to stake everything on this attempt!
Cowards who practiced the art of lying low were nearly impossible to track once they slipped away.
After that incident with Gu Xici, Li Guanqi had mobilized the entirety of Guanyun Pavilion's intelligence network, yet still failed to find any trace of the man.
Yet Lu Tiancheng had tracked Gu Xici down and even killed him!
Such capability...
Li Guanqi could never let him walk away.
The elder's face turned grim. The domain space around them was growing sturdier by the second.
The power of several heavenly flames converged into an uncanny fiery seal.
A pack of wolves watched covetously from outside as well, with that talisman master sparing no effort to seal the domain with ten million inscribed talismans!
In that fleeting moment just now, Lu Tiancheng had also realized the entire domain was on the move.
Even with half a brain, one could guess these bastards were hauling the whole domain toward the Seventh Domain!
Time was running out...
If they truly reached the Seventh Domain, he wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance!
Li Guanqi licked his lips. His eyebrows and hair were badly singed, and the scales over his body had curled back under the searing heat.
Yet he paid it no heed. Circulating his immortal primal energy and surging his vital blood, he healed at a visible pace.
Tilting his head toward the elder, Li Guanqi sneered.
"Old bastard... you never expected me to be this strong now, did you?"
"Weren't you fond of using primal energy to build up momentum?"
"Come, let me show you what true momentum looks like!"
The moment the words left his lips, the surging immortal primal energy within Li Guanqi churned like reversed rivers.
Boom!!
Divine Punishment realm, threefold amplification!
Enormous, budding thunder lotuses emerged around Li Guanqi's body.
Each thunder lotus spanned tens of zhang across.
In the blink of an eye, the entire hundred-li domain space was carpeted in thunder lotuses!!!
Condensed from immortal primal energy, the thunder lotuses looked solid and lifelike, their petals trembling slightly as if poised to bloom at any second.
Violently surging laws of thunder permeated the void.
At the sight, the elder's pupils shrank to pinpricks, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
His cultivation realm was clearly higher than Li Guanqi's.
Yet his own power of laws seemed insignificant in the young man's eyes...
Lu Tiancheng desperately unleashed his pressure, spreading his power of laws in a frantic bid to wrest control over a corner of the world.
Li Guanqi regarded him with disdain.
To him, everything the elder did was in vain.
If anyone was to blame, it was Lu Tiancheng's own carelessness.
Had he stayed hidden in the shadows, Li Guanqi would have had no way to deal with him.
He would even have had to be cautious to the extreme about the grand wedding following his proposal.
That was precisely why he had chosen without hesitation to fight him to the bitter end!!!
There was only one chance.
If he failed to capture him now, finding the elder later would be like searching for a needle in the vast sea.
Li Guanqi's pure-white eyes shone with awe-inspiring resolve.
Lowering the sword in his left hand, he formed a sword-finger with his right and pointed toward the sky.
His voice rang soft yet profound, like the decree of the Heavenly Dao itself.
"I say... let the fire cease."
Buzz!!!!
A terrifying power of laws rolled outward, and in an instant, every trace of fire-attribute spiritual energy in the domain vanished!!
"I say... let there be destruction!!"
As the words fell, tens of thousands of thunder lotuses slowly bloomed.
In that instant, heaven and earth trembled, and spiritual energy ran wild.
Myriads of lightning bolts cascaded from the heavens like raindrops.
Thick bolts carrying the aura of total annihilation crashed down with a roar.
Rumble! Boom!
Boom! Rumble!
The roaring of heaven and earth made it sound as though the entire world was howling in agony.
Lu Tiancheng's face drained of color!!
"No... impossible!! I cannot die here!!!"
With that cry, a boundless power of fire erupted from the elder's body.
Scorching waves of flame rolled outward in all directions, as if seeking to incinerate the heavens and earth's thunder.
Cracks began to spread across the sword in the elder's hand, but he paid them no mind.
Fearsome sword intent fused with all his strength, converging into the blade.
Li Guanqi smiled faintly and pushed his aura to its absolute limit.
Meridians inside Li Guanqi's body began to fracture, yet he paid no heed to such injuries.
His internal organs bore an indescribable pressure.
Li Guanqi nearly drained every drop of primal energy and immortal primal energy within him.
His eyes half-closed, he spread his arms and whispered softly:
"Bloom... lotuses of destruction..."
Buzz!!!
The nine lotuses beside Li Guanqi slowly opened.
As the petals unfurled, the thunder lotuses condensed from immortal primal energy unleashed a terrifying might that could annihilate all living things!!
Tens of thousands of thunder lotuses bloomed simultaneously.
That power ripped the domain apart in almost an instant.
The domain collapsed with shocking speed, obliterating several layers of seals on the outside in a fraction of an instant!
Gu Li's eyes filled with terror and panic.
"Run!! Hurry!! The farther, the better!!!"
"Run for your lives!!!!"
Before everyone's eyes, the spiritual light of the domain suddenly swelled, dazzling purple thunder flickering within.
The heavenly flame seal formed by the four heavenly flames shattered in an instant, followed immediately by Gu Li's sea of ten million talismans.
Inside the domain, Lu Tiancheng poured everything he had into emptying his dantian and slashing out with all his might!!
This strike was a desperate gamble for his life!!
Flames coiled around the blade, erupting into a terrifying sword light spanning three thousand zhang that pierced clean through the domain!!
Li Guanqi stepped forward with a calm gaze.
The hum of the Red Lotus sword resounded through heaven and earth.
"Red Lotus: Dao Fall."
Sword light burst forth, a solid sword beam of equal magnitude tearing through the air!
Wherever the sword beam passed, it absorbed the power of the thunder lotuses, growing stronger and stronger!
He was not finished. Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Li Guanqi strode forward, enduring the scorching wave of flames.
Reversing his longsword, he turned slightly sideways, unleashing yet another world-silencing strike in the Sword-Drawing Stance!!
"Hidden Dragon: Soaring from the Abyss!!!"
Boom!!!
The entire domain was sheared cleanly in two by the sharp sword qi in that instant!!!
Having fled a hundred li away, the group was suddenly blasted back ten thousand zhang by a colossal force.
An utterly terrifying sword light erupted in the nothingness.
The domain collapsed, and endless thunder raged across the void.
Then, the blood-stained back of a white-robed figure suddenly appeared before everyone.
The laws of thunder and fire tore through the void.
Above the sea of the Daochan Domain, a pitch-black rift ten thousand zhang long abruptly tore open.
Immediately after, boundless power of thunder and fire erupted in an instant!!
The explosive force instantly vaporized over a hundred zhang of the sea across a hundred li!
As the lightning spread, every sea demon within three hundred li was wiped out.
The carcasses of countless great sea demons floated to the surface, and scorching air currents blanketed the sea for hundreds of li around.
Incessant roaring rumbles echoed across the vast white expanse of water.
Even the Daochan Domain continent a thousand li away trembled faintly.
The waves kicked up by the shockwave rose a hundred zhang high, the ripples spreading swiftly across the surface.
Within the void, shattered flaming sword beams raged in all directions, and a mutilated "corpse" was hurled from the explosion!!
Endless lightning followed close behind as a condensed remnant soul darted out.
Yet the thunder had already arrived, forming a thunder-flame cage on the verge of snapping shut!
Before Li Guanqi could catch his breath, a stray flame wandering through the void suddenly darted forward!!
The flame shot into a crystal-clear immortal crystal!!
Li Guanqi's heart jolted, his expression changing drastically!
"Not good!! The Realm-Breaking Immortal Butterfly!!"
