48: Chapter 48 The Legendary Sacred Flower, The Great Battle of the Fighting Sects

In the valley, Hun Tiandi extinguished the Soul-Guiding Incense, gazing at the pile of magical beast corpses like a small mountain, his eyes cold and ruthless.

Trickling fresh blood gathered, flowing into the pool.

Hiss!

Silver light flickered beneath his feet, and his figure vanished from the valley, arriving beside a stream. He stripped off his blood-stained clothes and dove into the stream.

Instantly, the stream water around him turned red, but Hun Tiandi did not care, continuously scrubbing the filth from his body.

He casually washed his blood-stained clothes, taking an hour, and after drying them, put them back on.

Returning to the cave, the Blood Refining Array continued to operate, and the ten thousand soul banner before him grew increasingly fierce and malevolent.

Midnight was silent.

Hun Tiandi glanced at it, pondered slightly, and said no more.

Sitting cross-legged on the bluestone, he dared not relax for a moment. With hands forming seals, streams of energy swirled around him, and as he breathed in and out, they merged into his body.

His physical body felt like a parched sponge, frantically absorbing energy.

Energy roared within his meridians, and after pouring into his Qi vortex, its volume grew continuously.

"Ten Thousand Sword Art, activate!"

His hands intertwined faster than afterimages. The Fighting Qi within his body circulated according to the Ten Thousand Sword Art, transforming into sharp sword Qi that tempered his flesh and blood all over.

"Ah..."

Inside the cave, a shrill, hoarse scream rang out. It was Hun Tiandi in pain, roaring continuously like an injured magical beast.

Like a tidal wave, sword Qi surged through his meridians, emitting wisps of sharp power.

Waves of intense pain assaulted his entire body, which Hun Tiandi forcibly suppressed. His original physical strength was very high; at least for now, he had not encountered an opponent in terms of physical body.

After the sharp sword Qi entered his body, it once again strengthened and tempered him.

First was the skin, which absorbed and fused with the sword Qi, becoming incomparably tough. After his whole body swallowed the sword Qi, his flesh and blood also became crystal clear.

Currently, it seemed to be developing in a good direction.

Boom!

The aura on Hun Tiandi's body was transforming, and he himself became extremely sharp, like a divine sword.

The energy swirling around him was entirely swallowed, filling the air like a waterfall, drilling into his body through his pores.

The energy in his meridians circulated and finally returned to the Qi vortex.

The Fighting Qi that surged out again circulated according to the Ten Thousand Sword Art, and sword Qi was born spontaneously...

Suddenly, Hun Tiandi formed seals again, and his speed of absorbing energy increased once more, beginning to swallow... no, it was plundering.

Plundering the energy in the air, even wisps of moonlight power were wrapped around him.

Above the mountain peak, an energy vortex formed. That mottled energy was refined into Fighting Qi; Hun Tiandi's foundation far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators.

The energy required was too vast.

Sword Qi tempering, sequentially: skin, flesh, bones, meridians...

Wisps of sharp power bloomed, and after containing the sword Qi, his defensive strength greatly improved.

If an outsider were to see Hun Tiandi at first glance, they would see sharp power flowing around him; every move revealed the sharpness of the sword path.

He appeared sharp and imposing, like a rusted sword that had shed its leaden exterior, revealing its true edge.

Whew!

Hun Tiandi exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes, shooting out two five-inch sword Qi that vanished in the blink of an eye.

Once the power of sharpness and the Ten Thousand Sword Art mental cultivation method were truly fused!

Spirit and sword combined, and the sharpness would be restrained.

Unless he wished it, such a scene of exposed sharpness would absolutely not appear.

Swish!

Hun Tiandi flicked his finger, and a drop of bright red blood essence shot out from his fingertip, landing on the surface of the ten thousand soul banner within the Blood Refining Array.

It could be refined on its own.

Leaving the cave and returning to the valley, he lit the Soul-Guiding Incense as usual to slaughter magical beasts.

After experiencing the sword Qi body tempering, he joined his fingers like a sword with his right hand. Sword Qi burst forth, and as the sword art circulated, the sword Qi slaughtered the magical beasts.

Half a day later, he extinguished the Soul-Guiding Incense, just as he was about to rest for a while.

In the distance, a violent energy fluctuation and a wild roar resounded through the sky, rumbling like a heaven-shaking thunderclap.

Hearing the earth-shaking roar, Hun Tiandi's expression changed. He stared intently into the distance, where the violent energy in the sky was originating.

"Who is fighting? What a terrifying battle!"

Hun Tiandi pondered, leaned his body, and with silver light flickering beneath his feet, his figure dashed out and vanished from the spot.

Not long after, Hun Tiandi arrived at a mountain peak. With his calm gaze and soul power, he vaguely saw a slender, graceful female figure...

"This is the roar of the Tier 7 magical beast Golden Snake King. Who would actually target it?"

A trace of exclamation appeared in Hun Tiandi's eyes; it was equivalent to a human Dou Zong-level expert.

Truly a crazy woman...

Above the vast and blue sky, violent energy fluctuations rippled outwards, and the sky rumbled like thunder.

Even though Hun Tiandi was hiding quite far away, he could not help but feel his heart pounding.

With a thought, the vigorous soul power in his sea of consciousness surged out, pouring into his eyes, staring at the gold and silver colors in the distant sky that occupied nearly the entire expanse.

The white clouds floating in the sky were forcefully shattered by the intense clash between the two powerhouses.

Only the gold and silver lights were intertwining.

Another sound like thunder from the nine heavens rang in his ears. Hun Tiandi swallowed repeatedly, finding his mouth dry.

The energy pressure in the sky actually made his legs tremble.

"This is what a true powerhouse is!"

He murmured to himself, Hun Tiandi's fists clenched tightly, his eyes flashing with determination. Eventually, one day, I will reach that height, or even surpass it.

At this moment, he somewhat understood that a powerhouse suppressing a country by themselves was not just a legend.

As a soul from outside the world, through a twist of fate, he had used the heart of samsara to fuse with the sealed soul origin mark of Hun Tiandi, becoming the real Hun Tiandi.

Breaking the seal and living another life, he naturally had to climb to the highest realm once again.

Watching the two great experts fighting in the sky, his heart became even more determined to pursue power.

"A human woman? She must be crazy, running into the mountain range to fight and kill the Golden Snake King, for what?"

Suddenly, the human woman in the sky, if it wasn't for...

His figure leaped through the jungle like a nimble monkey; such a rare battle of Dou Zongs was extremely uncommon.

At least for Hun Tiandi now.

An hour later, he finally approached the place where the two powerhouses were fighting. What came into view was the massive magical beast in the sky.

This magical beast was massive, a full seventy meters long, with its waist reaching over three meters at its thickest point. On both sides of its waist and back, there were two huge lumps of flesh.

A lump of flesh grew on its forehead, and its entire body was covered in golden scales, shining brilliantly in the sunlight, extremely dazzling.

Its head was as thick as its body, and the huge snake head was triangular.

The most unique part was that pair of shattered golden pupils, crystal clear, emitting a pale golden light.

But during the battle, the massive golden snake body, when slithering, was winding and twisting, and its speed was even faster.

The massive magical beast flew through the air, and an invisible Dou Zong pressure poured down from the sky, making Hun Tiandi's spirit tremble.

"The legendary Golden Snake King, it is almost about to transform and advance..."

He gazed at the Golden Snake King with both eyes, saying softly.

"A woman in a silver robe?" His gaze fell upon her full, delicate body, and his heart was greatly shocked.

This silver-robed woman could actually contend with the Golden Snake King; she was likely also a Dou Zong-level expert.

The woman in the sky was wrapped in a silver robe, holding a long, silver-white sword, her body emitting a silver-white light.

Her three thousand strands of dark hair fell down, moving without wind like a waterfall.

A jade hairpin was inserted into her hair, and her stunningly beautiful face carried a cold expression.

She did not show any panic despite facing a magical beast with a fearsome reputation in the Fighting Qi Continent.
