Wen Qingye’s gaze turned sharp in an instant. Powerful Primordial Qi swept out from his body like a storm. He stomped his foot, his figure darting forward like a phantom. The Heaven-Burying Sect members could only see a blurry silhouette.
SWISH!
Wen Qingye drew the Bladeless Heavy Sword from his back. It carried a majestic aura as he swung it down, crashing with the force of an ancient mountain.
The Rock Law contributed thirty thousand jin of force which, combined with the over thirty thousand jin from the Bladeless Heavy Sword, amounted to a total force of nearly seventy thousand jin.
Its tyrannical might was utterly without equal.
Infused with Primordial Qi, it seemed to make the very air tremble and hum.
"Let’s attack together!" one of them shouted. The six Heaven-Burying Sect members clearly knew Wen Qingye’s sword strike was not to be trifled with. They immediately began to frantically channel their Primordial Qi, which then started to rapidly converge.
Immense amounts of Primordial Qi converged, pulsating with waves of white light and seemingly forming a Cyan Light Giant Halberd. A frenzied, ferocious aura surged forth.
Then, as if their auras had merged, the six men waved their hands in unison.
The Cyan Light Giant Halberd shot forth, bringing with it a howling gale. Ancient runes seemed to flicker at its tip, an incredibly profound sight.
DING!
The sword’s edge and the halberd’s tip met at a single, impossibly precise point. As sparks flew, a visible shockwave of Primordial Qi swept outward, causing the surrounding air to detonate completely.
The six men felt as if they’d been slammed by a mountain, and they were all thrown rapidly backward.
Meanwhile, the Ice Python and Shan Tong had finally engaged in battle.
The Ice Python twisted its massive head and opened its great maw. The surrounding Primordial Qi surged madly into its throat, rapidly condensing into a giant ball of ice.
The surrounding air instantly turned frigid. This was especially true for Shan Tong; it wasn’t just his body that felt the cold. As the Ice Python’s enormous serpentine eyes fixed on him, a chill pierced his very heart.
CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
With a spray from its cavernous maw, the Ice Python launched the massive ice ball directly at Shan Tong. The air itself seemed to crackle as it froze.
Seeing the attack, Shan Tong channeled all of his Primordial Qi into his right arm. As the energy accumulated, the surrounding air seemed to buckle under the pressure, forming miniature hurricanes.
CRACKLE! SNAP!
"Heavenly Burial Fist Technique, Third Form!"
He clenched his hand into a tight fist. Blazing with brilliant light and containing all the Primordial Qi in his body, his fist shot toward the ice ball launched by the Ice Python.
BOOM!
The moment the ice ball and Shan Tong’s Fist Force collided, the surrounding trees and crushed rock seemed to turn to ice shavings, and a wave of frost began to spread outward.
Then, the immense amount of Primordial Qi from his fist seemed to be frozen solid by the ice ball, grinding to a halt. A wave of intense, silent cold rushed toward Shan Tong’s body.
’This Demon Beast is so strong!’
Shan Tong was stunned, his heart pounding in shock as he staggered backward.
Seeing Shan Tong retreat, the Ice Python opened its maw. With a flick of its body, it charged. Its massive tail swung around, carrying a Thunderous Force and kicking up a violent whirlwind.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Shan Tong saw a black shadow flash before his eyes. Hurriedly suppressing his shock, his pupils contracted as he hastily drew a purple blade to face the Ice Python.
The purple blade flared with a brilliant light. Then, with the speed of lightning, he brought it down in a vicious chop toward the Ice Python’s tail.
CLANG!
At that moment, a cold, murderous intent gleamed in the Ice Python’s eyes. It opened its mouth, inhaled, and then exhaled a stream of icy blue air toward the Sword Aura. The Sword Aura wavered, its light rippled, and then it dissipated completely.
This was none other than Dragon Breath!
The Ice Python had possessed the Azure Dragon’s Dragon Pearl for quite some time now, and it had managed to grasp some of the more superficial abilities of the Dragon Race.
Seeing the massive tail rushing toward him, Shan Tong was horrified. ’I’m really in a bind now.’ He had never imagined that the Demon Beast serving Wen Qingye would be this powerful. It had completely exceeded his expectations.
Majestic Primordial Qi surged out, enveloping the purple blade in his hand. Bracing himself, Shan Tong brought it down hard to meet the python’s tail.
BANG!
Shan Tong’s blade slammed heavily onto the Ice Python’s tail. Rings of Primordial Qi radiated outward like ripples in a pond.
In the next moment, a colossal force traveled up from the blade’s hilt and surged through his entire body. Within just a few breaths, his arm had gone completely numb.
The Ice Python was a Demon Beast, after all; its physical body was ferocious, and its power was unparalleled among those in the same realm. Furthermore, it was constantly being influenced by the aura of the Azure Dragon Pearl within it, making it even more extraordinary.
Back then, Lim Tian had been at the peak of the Third Heaven of the Life and Death Realm. Moreover, while only at the Third Heaven, Lim Tian had a record of defeating experts of the Fourth Heaven of the Life and Death Realm. This had given everyone the wrong impression, causing them all to underestimate the Ice Python’s true strength.
Shan Tong was blasted backward, kicking up a huge cloud of dust. A chill ran down his spine, and the thought of retreat began to sprout in his mind.
The very next instant, Shan Tong spun around and fled.
’Trying to run? A perfect chance to test the secret of the Dragon Pearl I just discovered.’
Seeing Shan Tong attempt to flee, the Ice Python opened its great maw. The intense cold that filled the air vanished in an instant, only to be replaced a moment later by a blinding golden light that pulsed in all directions.
An ancient and majestic aura poured from the Ice Python’s throat. The aura was so ferocious it seemed to have condensed into tangible substance.
"ROAR!"
A deep, powerful roar echoed out, shaking the very hearts of all who heard it.
Wen Qingye and the six members of the Heaven-Burying Sect ceased their battle at the same time, turning to look.
A golden dragon’s shadow slowly materialized in the air. Though the phantom image was not large, the aura it radiated seemed to actually distort the space around it.
For a moment, time itself seemed to stand still.
The golden Azure Dragon Pearl slowly materialized in the Ice Python’s mouth. A cold glint flashed in the python’s eyes as it twisted its head and spat the pearl toward Shan Tong.
The Azure Dragon Pearl shot rapidly in Shan Tong’s direction, erupting with a brilliant golden light that seemed to envelop everything in its radiance.
Not far away, Wen Qingye froze for a moment before hastily circulating his Primordial Qi to shield himself from the blinding golden light. The six members of the Heaven-Burying Sect also retreated further, their hearts filled with horror.
The golden radiance blazed, and an unknown amount of time passed.
After a long while, the golden light finally dissipated.
"ROAR!"
The Ice Python’s blue body became a streak of lightning as it shot forward and swallowed the floating golden Azure Dragon Pearl in one gulp.
"HISSS—!"
Suddenly, the Ice Python’s body crashed heavily to the ground. It began to twist and writhe violently, its massive form thrashing and sending trees and clouds of dust flying.
As for Shan Tong, he had vanished without a trace.
’The Azure Dragon’s Devouring Dao...’
Wen Qingye’s eyes shot open, a flicker of surprise rising in his heart.
