Only I am Venerable

The Great Witch Master’s Sea of Consciousness was in utter chaos. As his head was splitting with pain, Qin Li’s heaven-shattering sword strike came slashing down!

Only then did the Great Witch Master suddenly realize that he had fallen into a trap again!

The two people in that room were not the invaders at all! They were most likely two damned humans who were originally slaves!

The poor Great Witch Master still hadn’t realized that there was no one in the room at all!

Faced with this fatal sword strike, the Great Witch Master also unleashed all his power. In an instant, three or four enormous, blood-dripping hands blasted toward Qin Li’s Sword Intent!

However, these moves, which were still only at a level of three parts magic and seven parts brute force, were utterly incapable of stopping the tyrannical Sword Intent generated by the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Only I am Venerable combat technique!

Under Qin Li’s sword strike, the terrifying, blood-drenched giant hands were shattered with devastating ease, their countless fragments scattering in all directions!

Seeing this Sword Intent, which looked down on the world with infinite killing intent, slash down before him, the Great Witch Master finally let out a horrified roar and erupted with an irresistible power!

This was the Great Witch Master’s Origin Power. Using it even once would have an indelible negative impact on his strength. However, at this moment, if he didn’t unleash it, he would absolutely be blasted to pieces by the Sword Intent Qin Li had released!

Even though he had reached the Shattering the Core and Forming an Infant realm, he could not avoid this fate!

And just then, holding an Upper Grade Spirit Stone, Shangguan Shiyu let out a cold cry. An even more immense power, like a tidal wave whipped up by a hurricane, instantly ground a large section of the surrounding castle to dust!

At the same time, it forcefully suppressed the Great Witch Master’s surging power, which was strong enough to shake mountains and rivers... for just a single instant!

But that single moment was enough!

Qin Li’s Sword Intent surged unstoppably into the Great Witch Master’s meridians, destroying every last one. In that instant, the Great Witch Master’s body became like a piece of porcelain covered in cracks. As this world-scorning Sword Intent battered it wave after wave, his body finally shattered!

Torn to pieces!

Then, a fist-sized, shimmering golden object shot toward the sky like a bolt of lightning!

Qin Li stood in the sky, wielding the Blood-Drinking Sword. The blade trembled uncontrollably, letting out an excited hum. With his eyes wide, Qin Li roared at the approaching, fist-sized golden object, "Get down!"

BOOM!

The fist-sized object suddenly erupted with a light as blinding as the scorching sun and simultaneously unleashed an astonishing amount of power!

No one could have imagined that this object could possess such might!

When the Blood-Drinking Sword slashed down upon the small, shimmering golden object, it produced a tremendous sound like the clash of gold and iron, like a clap of thunder on a clear day!

Struck by the Blood-Drinking Sword, the small object was slashed out of the air and sent tumbling into the dust. The light covering it dimmed slightly, allowing people to see it clearly. The fist-sized golden thing was actually a miniature Golden Wolf!

’A Golden Wolf? No wonder it got along so well with that creature named Be. Partners in crime, the two of them!’

The thought flashed through Qin Li’s mind, and he shot forward without the slightest hesitation, slashing at the Golden Wolf once more!

The Golden Wolf rolled on the ground a few times, looking utterly wretched. The blinding golden light around its body dimmed considerably, and its eyes shone with immense fury. But it didn’t dare entertain any thought of retaliating and could only flee like a rat, scurrying swiftly around the castle complex.

’Pill Nascent Soul Transformation... He really is a powerhouse at the Pill Nascent Soul Transformation realm!’

Qin Li sighed to himself. ’If not for the sneak attack, coupled with the Great Witch Master underestimating his opponents, Shiyu and I would have been no match for him.’

Qin Li’s figure moved like a wisp of green smoke as he relentlessly pursued the little golden wolf, the distance between them never widening. As for Shiyu, she had experienced a moment of exhaustion after using all her strength to activate the Suppression Technique and was now in the process of recovering.

In the middle of the chase, Qin Li suddenly stopped. Although the Great Witch Master, who was now just a Nascent Soul Pill, didn’t understand why this human had stopped chasing, he didn’t stop at all. Instead, he burst forth with even greater speed, shooting away from the castle complex!

At that moment, Qin Li’s eyes snapped open, and a disdainful sneer played on his lips. The space before him distorted, and in the next instant, he appeared behind the golden wolf that was the Nascent Soul Pill!

Qin Li... in the middle of this life-or-death battle... had broken through!

Although it seemed that Qin Li hadn’t been injured at all, in reality, the entire process—from plotting against the Great Witch Master, to destroying his physical body with Sword Intent, to the frantic chase just now—had completely exhausted all of Qin Li’s power!

If he hadn’t happened to break through his bottleneck at that very instant and enter the Shattered Void realm, Qin Li likely would have had no choice but to let the Great Witch Master escape!

But now...

With a single thought, Qin Li finally executed a move he had been unable to use before!

Suddenly, like a meteor shower, countless streams of purple Sword Qi filled the space between heaven and earth, crisscrossing to form a barrier in front of the Great Witch Master. Because he was moving too fast, he had no time to react and plunged headfirst into the trap woven from Sword Qi!

This instantly triggered all the Sword Qi, unleashing a frenzied barrage of slashes!

The Great Witch Master let out a nearly crazed roar. Qin Li suddenly sensed something was wrong and shot backward in retreat!

However, he was still too slow!

Even if a Martial Artist at the Shattered Void realm were to self-destruct, Qin Li could predict it in advance and avoid it. But this Great Witch Master was a bona fide super-powerhouse at the Pill Nascent Soul Transformation realm!

An incredibly blinding ball of golden light suddenly erupted between heaven and earth, as if the sun itself had fallen to this very spot!

With a SWOOSH, countless piercingly bright rays of light shot into Qin Li’s body!

Immediately after, a massive, deafening rumble echoed out, as if it would split the earth apart. Like a leaf caught in a tornado, Qin Li’s body was violently flung away!

With a BANG, he slammed violently against the tall castle wall behind him, instantly punching a human-shaped hole clean through the twenty-meter-thick solid stone!

As for the Great Witch Master, he was utterly annihilated from this world. The astonishing resentful energy released by his Nascent Soul Pill’s self-destruction lingered in the air, gathering vast, dark clouds.

The consequences of the Great Witch Master’s self-destruction were terrifying. Over a thousand meters in front of the castle complex, the small plaza where the Spirit Beasts had once slaughtered humans was now completely unrecognizable. It had become a massive crater, nearly a mile wide and seventy to eighty meters deep!

Groundwater was already gurgling up. Before long, a sizable lake would likely form outside the castle complex, becoming a future playground for the children of the Qin Family.

However, Qin Li’s current situation was rather dire. He had already exhausted all of his power, and after breaking through mid-battle, he was then blasted by the force of the Great Witch Master’s self-destruction into the incredibly hard castle wall.

Never mind that Qin Li had no strength left at the time; even at his peak with his Protective Gang Qi fully deployed, he still would have been severely injured.

And so, three days passed, but Qin Li remained in a coma. His condition was terrible. Shangguan Shiyu was terrified; she had never seen Qin Li so severely injured. Her normally calm mind was now in a complete panic, and she had no idea what to do.

Sun Sea had already come to her several times, pleading to give Qin Li the Divine Water. But thinking of its side effects, Shangguan Shiyu kept hesitating. She had always believed that Qin Li could recover on his own.

Because in her heart, Qin Li had always been an indomitable man, a pillar of strength.

There was nothing that could defeat Qin Li!

"My Lady, if we don’t give him the Divine Water soon, I’m afraid he won’t make it!" Sun Sea said, standing at the door to Qin Li’s room for the fourth time, his brow furrowed with worry.

The news that the Great Witch Master was dead had made everyone weep with joy, and it had also raised Qin Li’s prestige in their hearts to an unprecedented height!

Qin Li had been gravely injured saving them, which made everyone feel incredibly guilty. They wished they were the ones who were hurt, not their benefactor!

Shangguan Shiyu’s eyes were red-rimmed; she had cried in secret who knows how many times. She gritted her teeth and said, "Wait longer! One more day! If... if he still hasn’t woken up, then... we’ll do as you say. We’ll give him the Divine Water!"

In truth, Shangguan Shiyu wasn’t worried about what would happen to Qin Li’s face. After all, back when she had blue skin, Qin Li had never once looked down on her, so how could she possibly care what he might look like?

Shiyu just hoped that her man could wake up through his own strength. Qin Li had once told her that only on the razor’s edge between life and death could one’s cultivation improve dramatically!

If a Martial Artist never experienced a trial of life and death, then no matter what, they could only ever be called a master, not a true powerhouse!

It was like someone who was tall, built, and very strong, but if they were slapped, they wouldn’t dare fight back—they might even be scared to tears. Could you say such a person had no strength? Of course not. What they lacked was courage!

Therefore, a Martial Artist with no combat experience could only ever be a master of Martial Arts. A Martial Artist who had never seen blood, who had never been tested by life and death, would never become a true powerhouse!

At this moment, Qin Li’s perception of the outside world was completely cut off. He was immersed in the depths of his memory, as if he had returned to his youth on Earth.

It was the darkest period of his life. He was scrawny and small, with little courage. Even street urchins younger than him dared to bully him.

Going hungry and getting hurt were common occurrences. That is, until Qin Li met the person he would be most grateful to for his entire life.

The old Taoist!
