Immense power surged through Li Guanqi's body as his frantically circulating cultivation technique began refining Pengluo's power into immortal essence and origin energy.
Like a dying man suddenly gasping for air, Li Guanqi drew a deep, ragged breath, his flickering eyes regaining a faint glimmer of life.
Pengluo's power had somehow transformed, rapidly replenishing his depleted vitality and blood.
With the Demon King Physique circulating, his blood roared, and his wounds knit together with astonishing speed.
Li Guanqi did not know why Pengluo had broken through so abruptly.
Yet now was not the time to ponder such things.
At this moment, the way Tu Yuan looked at Li Guanqi was no different from gazing upon an ant.
Tu Yuan's overwhelming cultivation realm gave Li Guanqi an uncanny sensation of facing the Heavenly Dao itself.
Tu Yuan's long hair fluttered wildly as his wounds closed at a blistering pace.
His robes snapped in the wind, and visible azure astral winds whirled through the air, shearing the void to pieces.
Li Guanqi's sword hand trembled faintly. Looking up at Tu Yuan, his feet instinctively wanted to step back.
Yet Li Guanqi's sheer, iron willpower forced him to take a resolute step forward!
The trembling vanished, and the pressure of a peak mid-Ascension realm cultivator flooded the void.
Yet against Tu Yuan's aura, Li Guanqi felt as if several colossal mountains were pressing down upon him.
His limbs felt heavy as lead, and every breath was an ordeal.
Tu Yuan let out a long sigh, looking up at the firmament as he murmured softly,
"Doing this... is no different from severing my own path back.
"You truly are formidable. Even at the peak of the Ascension realm, I was helpless against you.
"I don't know why your willpower is so terrifying that you could fight to the death and endure until now."
Tu Yuan looked down at Li Guanqi, his eyes filled with profound admiration.
"Yet... today, you must die!"
Boom!
With merely a surge of origin energy, the Thunder-Fire Domain was instantly torn into countless fragments.
A crushing pressure blanketed all directions, filling the hearts of the Human Spirit Realm's cultivators with despair the moment they felt it.
Li Guanqi clenched his teeth, veins bulging across his forehead as his face turned a dark, suffocated purple.
Veins throbbed in his neck, yet his gaze burned with unyielding defiance.
"Whether you can kill me... let the sword speak!"
An ominous, chilling aura of slaughter spread outward.
Battered and drenched in blood, Li Guanqi stood with his back to the crowd, facing Tu Yuan entirely alone.
Wen Guyan swung his sword, lopping off an enemy's head, and hurled it into the sky with a roar to the heavens.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Boom!
Azure radiance flooded the horizon as a terrifying wave of the power of laws unfurled.
The Azure Dragon on Wen Guyan's shoulder roared in unison with him.
His eyes bloodshot and his body grievously wounded, Wen Guyan nevertheless rampaged across the battlefield like a god of slaughter.
Under the blanket of terrifying azure light, the surrounding void began to wither and decay.
Thunder rumbled between heaven and earth as ominous storm clouds instantly coalesced.
A profound heavenly Dao resonance enveloped him.
Wen Guyan's aura climbed frantically, his half-step Ascension realm presence surging upward once more.
Perhaps...
even this heaven and earth felt an unprecedented crisis,
knowing that if things continued like this, the entire Youhuang Realm would be reduced to ashes.
Wen Guyan's breakthrough into the Ascension realm was as natural as water flowing into an established channel!
Spurred by intense emotion and burning hatred, his comprehension of his own laws deepened continuously.
This sight deeply provoked the others; many cultivators on the verge of breaking through threw caution to the wind and staked everything on a final gamble!
Thunder roared and lightning danced across the sky, turning the churning dark clouds and the entire firmament a deep, menacing purple.
Gripping his sword, Li Guanqi actually took the initiative to strike. Wings of lightning unfurled behind his back; with a single beat, he teleported right in front of Tu Yuan!
Boom!
"Bloodlust: Ten Thousand Swords God Burial!"
Boom! Rrrrumble!
Heavenly thunder rolled, and the wind wailed with bleak fury.
Thousands upon thousands of sword lights bloomed outward from Li Guanqi like petals bursting into full flower!
Tens of thousands of sword lights engulfed Tu Yuan, shattering the void and crushing the domain.
Terrifying power vented with wild abandon!
Clouds of blood mist erupted from the arm Li Guanqi swung his sword with as he roared with all his might, slashing with everything he had!
Returning his sword to its thunder scabbard, he crouched low to gather momentum.
His eyes flashed like lightning, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air that shot out like two white dragons.
The muscles of his arm swelled and tautened, unleashing a flash strike with lightning speed!
Moving at extreme velocity, the thunder wings behind his back beat furiously before detonating with a deafening crash.
Li Guanqi's body transformed into a streak of brilliant lightning, flashing across the sky and vanishing in an instant!
Immediately after, three sword lights formed a triangle, blanketing the sky.
"World Annihilation!"
"Dao Fall!"
"Hidden Dragon!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the three sword strikes cleaved forth, the entire Immortal Burial Realm shattered with a cataclysmic roar.
Explosions echoed incessantly, and plummeting spatial fragments hurtled across the Six Domains.
The terrifying force sent the lands across the Human Spirit Realm's Six Domains shaking convulsively.
Mountains trembled, and rivers reversed their course.
Volcanoes erupted, dark clouds roiled across the sky, and torrential rain poured down.
It was a scene straight out of the apocalypse.
Rifts tens of thousands of zhang long tore across the skies of the Six Domains.
Numerous cultivators took action, joining hands to reconstruct the boundaries of the domain.
Beneath his heavenly tribulation, Wen Guyan stared unblinkingly at the center of the battlefield, where immortal essence rampaged wildly through the sky.
A moment later, the lightning and flames gradually dissipated.
A blurry silhouette slowly resolved into clarity.
Covered in hideous sword wounds, Tu Yuan held Li Guanqi by the head, his expression twisted and savage.
"Cough, cough... Urgh! Cough, cough, cough!"
Tu Yuan lowered his head and covered his mouth with one hand.
Blood seeped through his fingers...
The wound across his chest was deep enough to bare bone, cleaving through his organs; its charred edges were still burning with lingering flames.
Across Li Guanqi's face ran a wound that cut straight through his cheek.
That strike had nearly sheared off half of his face.
One eye was reduced to an empty socket, and the divine patterns on his face flickered erratically, showing signs of dissipating.
Li Guanqi's body hung limp, his hands and feet severed, his breath as faint as gossamer...
Tu Yuan drew ragged, greedy breaths amidst scorching flames and stray arcs of crackling lightning.
Li Guanqi's consciousness was slipping, yet he still held fast to his sword.
Seeing this, every cultivator of the Human Spirit Realm felt their heart lurch...
Li Guanqi... had lost...
The Human Spirit Realm's strongest warrior had lost.
Her face twisted in anguish, Meng Wanshu looked up at the sky with tear-filled eyes.
Before everyone's shocked gazes, she transformed into an azure-blue sword light and shot straight into the clouds!
"Let him go!"
Her furious cry echoed through the clouds, and the icy chill of that sword strike caused temperatures to plummet for a hundred li around.
At the same time, several battered figures scrambled out of the void.
Xiao Chen was drenched in blood, kneeling on the ground in a mangled heap as if his skin had been flayed off alive.
His body was mutilated, and blazing inscribed talismans still burned upon him.
Looking closely, one would see that those inscribed talismans had actually been drawn directly onto his robes.
And clamped between his teeth was half a piece of dried radish.
A terrifying aura washed through Xiao Chen, radiating a pressure comparable to the late Tribulation Transcendence realm.
Ye Feng and the others who had awakened looked grim, their eyes brimming with heartache.
Before they could even process what had happened, they looked up—and saw Li Guanqi dangling in Tu Yuan's grasp.
