LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 17
“Good show has just begun.” Hong Qianye formed a hand seal, and ice-blue flames flickered into existence, leaping away like fairies.
The ice-blue flames froze the void, and the frosty aura spread wildly.
Shi Tianjue furrowed his brow, raising his hand to condense a blood-colored spear, striking out with a swirling vortex of blood.
Splash! The entire blood-colored spear was frozen solid by the cold air, even the bloodthirsty aura began to dissipate.
A bone-piercing chill surged up his arm, rapidly spreading to one half of Shi Tianjue’s body.
“What kind of fire is this? So sinister?!”
“Die!” Shi Tianjue bellowed, directly dispelling the cold air, his right hand gripping the blood-colored spear as he extinguished the ice-blue flames.
Bloodshot strands of hair flew in disarray, his eyes shining with bloodthirsty light, his expression radiating killing intent.
Swish.
The spear tore through the void, instantly arriving in front of Hong Qianye.
A burst of earthy-yellow flames rose, embodying an indestructible aura, like a shield forged from divine gold, blocking the terrible spear.
Clang!
“Hmm?” Shi Tianjue’s face revealed surprise.
Zing!
Thunder roared as several thunder dragons howled in, and upon closer inspection, he discovered they were flames shaped like lightning!
Boom!
In the rolling thick smoke, Shi Tianjue barely emerged, with burn marks from the thunderfire covering his body.
Staring at the stunning figure in red, his gaze filled with deep shock.
“Where did you learn this spell?!”
Feeling pressured by Hong Qianye’s relentless offense, Shi Tianjue found it hard to accept. With his cultivation advantage, how could he not get the upper hand?
“You guess.” Hong Qianye smirked proudly.
Sure enough, he was incredibly strong now!
With the boost from the Three Thousand Flame Sutra, combined with his ever-changing fire-based divine abilities, even the blood demon, who once dominated the Central Region, was now being trounced by him!
I, Hong Qianye, shall now embark on an invincible path!
Shi Tianjue fell silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into a chilling laugh.
“If I’m not mistaken, during your time away from the Central Region, you’ve gained a tremendous fortune.”
“If you continue like this to reclaim your path to immortality, I’m afraid that old group of geezers won’t stand a chance against you.”
“What a pity… what a pity…”
Hong Qianye furrowed her brow, “What’s the pity?”
“What a pity that you will soon die at my hands!” Shi Tianjue laughed heartily.
As soon as he finished speaking, an eerie force erupted from his body.
“I, what is happening…”
The one-eyed elder displayed pain as his body visibly began to dissolve, turning into strands of blood energy that flowed into Shi Tianjue.
At the same time, cries of agony could be heard across the country, transforming into groups of energy-filled blood that soared into the sky.
Not only in Wei Kingdom, but dozens of surrounding nations were experiencing this terrifying phenomenon.
“Help! Someone save me!”
“Waaah, I don’t want to die!”
“This is the wrath of heaven! Our retribution has come!”
…
A torrent of blood was drawn toward Shi Tianjue by the mysterious force, gushing toward him, swirling with ominous blood energy that rose like smoke, creating a visually shocking display.
Shi Tianjue’s cultivation level surged from the peak of Transformation Stage to completion, then began to break through to Unity Stage.
Crack!
The bottleneck shattered.
An aura a hundred times more powerful than that of Transformation Stage instantly spread in all directions.
Shi Tianjue’s cultivation reached the early stage of Unity!
In the vast sky above,
A blood-red giant with blood-soaked hair stood tall, his gaze exuding terrifying coldness, with a blood-colored halo suspended behind him, resembling a blood-red sun, bringing endless despair to all living beings.
“Heavens, what kind of monster is this…” The Wei Emperor and others fell to their knees, gazing fearfully at the giant.
Feeling the massive body containing destructive energy, Hong Qianye’s expression changed, and she solemnly said, “Your Undying Blood Body, has it been successfully reforged?”
Shi Tianjue stared at the tiny figure below, his voice booming, “The Undying Blood Body is one of the top-tier precious bodies; how could it be so easy to reforge?”
“But after my efforts, it has now recovered seventy percent, and once I devour all the beings in Arid Province, I believe the Undying Blood Body will achieve its complete form!”
The Undying Blood Body was Shi Tianjue’s greatest reliance.
Back in the day, relying on this precious body, he battled against strongmen of both the righteous and demonic paths, unleashing destructive power with just a gesture, as well as exhibiting an extremely exaggerated self-healing ability!
That battle lasted three days and nights, ultimately ending when those old monsters from the sacred ground used magical artifacts together to completely extinguish the Undying Blood Body.
“Hong Qianye, I have given you a chance; to reach this day is entirely your own doing!”
“Kill!!!”
When that syllable escaped Shi Tianjue’s lips, it felt as though the entire world was about to collapse.
A gigantic blood-colored hand pressed down, like a mountain of fingers overshadowing Hong Qianye.
Boom…
The overwhelming sense of pressure surged uncontrollably, instilling a sense of submission.
“Not good!”
Hong Qianye had no way to evade; the magical power within her boiled and surged, releasing a towering purple flame all around.
The roaring purple fire was extraordinarily strange, possessing immense power capable of evaporating an entire ocean in an instant.
Suddenly.
The two sides erupted in a destructive collision, with terrifying energy waves rampaging wildly.
The sky above Wei Kingdom shattered, resembling the apocalypse.
Countless people looked on, shocked, with their hearts pounding in fear.
Grinding her teeth, Hong Qianye unleashed all her might, summoning fire spells in succession.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
The blood-colored giant was engulfed in flames, with scorch marks covering its body.
“Useless, don’t resist in vain.”
An indifferent, icy voice rang out.
An unusual phenomenon occurred; countless wounds rapidly healed, revitalizing the blood-colored giant, leaving it unharmed.
“Die!!!”
The blood-colored giant roared, charging up its fist.
The massive fist was enveloped in runes, resembling a meteor from the sky falling with a trail of blood-red light.
In that instant.
Killing intent surrounded Hong Qianye, making her skin crawl.
Without thinking, her hair flowing, she intertwined her hands, summoning a golden flame barrier around her.
From afar, it looked like a great sun standing across the sky, radiating a brilliance that was immune to all evil.
Boom!
A powerful force instantly crashed down.
The fist struck the golden flame barrier, causing the surrounding void to twist, creating an incomprehensible vortex.
Crack crack crack…
Cracks began to appear on the surface of the golden flame barrier.
“Heh, break for me!” Shi Tianjue sneered, the blood-colored fist bursting forth with even greater power.
Bang!!
The barrier shattered.
Hong Qianye was sent crashing to the ground from the sky, a thunderous crash followed, sending dust and smoke flying.
“This…”
To the Wei Emperor and the others, the scene was shocking, as if the sun hanging in the sky had been punched down.
So terrifying!
Is this what it’s like when immortals fight?
“Cough cough,” Hong Qianye coughed up blood at the corner of her mouth, her disheveled hair making her look battered as she struggled to stand from the crater, looking up at the giant figure in the sky, a deep sense of helplessness arising in her heart.
“In the end, you cannot match me.”
Shi Tianjue looked down with contempt, gazing at the small figure of Hong Qianye as if seeing an ant about to be crushed.
At the Unity Stage, his power had multiplied a hundredfold, and with the Undying Blood Body activated, Shi Tianjue was confident that he was virtually invincible at the same level!
Let alone dealing with a Transformation Stage cultivator!
“Blood Demon, you mad dog that bites recklessly!” Hong Qianye spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, angrily retorting.
Years ago, she had barely escaped pursuit and fled from the Central Region all the way to this savage land, yet she never expected to end up falling into the hands of an old acquaintance.
“As cultivators, we pursue longevity. Since you do not wish to accompany me in life, you shall merge into my body upon death, and I will carry your will to complete this long journey to immortality.”
The grand and majestic voice echoed like a bell, resonating above.
The blood-colored giant raised its hand once more, with its palm flashing a brilliant red light, burning with terrifying flames.
Then, the palm shattered the void and came crashing down!
Boom…
Feeling the storm-like pressure enveloping her whole body, Hong Qianye’s hair stood on end, driven by either the instinct to survive or grabbing onto a straw for hope, she shouted without thinking:
“Master, save me!!!”
