444: Three Heroes vs. Xiantian (V)

Twenty breaths!

Myriad Gods was repelled, spitting blood!

Ten breaths!

Myriad Gods's body was almost cut in half at the waist; he was forced to use Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan again.

But the effect of this Heaven and Earth Qian Yuan was clearly not as good as the previous times.

Nine breaths!

Eight breaths!

When only two breaths remained, Chen De's aura was still rampant and wild.

Meanwhile, the East Sea Sword Saint's aura had completely vanished; he was invisible in the field, as if his presence had diminished to the extreme.

Chen De knew this was the result of the East Sea Sword Saint condensing his power to the absolute limit.

No more aura emanating, no more fluctuations emanating, no more light emanating.

The reason others could perceive and observe a person was because that person emitted relevant signals.

Without these signals for propagation, even if someone stood there ramrod straight, no one would be able to find him.

"Heaven and Earth Shattering...

"One Sword..."

Just as the last three breaths arrived, the entire Four Profound Heavens seemed to fall silent.

The violent sounds of combat between Myriad Gods and Qing Li also became utterly quiet at this moment.

The deadly sense of threat made Qing Li want to retreat frantically; even though he originally had no body hair, it stood on end.

He couldn't withstand this move!

He hadn't felt this way even when he faced a single finger from an Immortal back then.

The reason was simple: the trump card he had against that finger had already been used at that time.

Dodge?

He could already feel that he had been locked on to.

Ultimately, Qing Li decided to choose a head-on confrontation.

He refused to believe that as a congenital divine being, even a Mortal Realm congenital divine being unprecedented throughout history, he could be killed by a few Mortal Realm post-celestial beings.

This was impossible!

From beginning to end, Qing Li had never looked directly at Chen De and the others, much less respected them.

Every noble congenital being possessed an innate dao body, every one of their talents rivaled the most top-tier post-celestial talents, and every congenital being was born with countless talents that post-celestial beings could only dream of.

Today, to make him surrender, to make him die at the hands of a few post-celestial monkeys, this was impossible!

Innate Divine Ability — Azure Extreme Profound Light Shield!

A thick, azure-gold shield, like a turtle shell, enveloped Qing Li.

"Heaven and Earth Shattering... Demon Blade Descending!"

"One Sword... Cleaving Heaven!"

The blade and sword, long brewing and accumulating power, revealed their sharpness at this moment.

Their majestic momentum was the strongest in the Lower Plane, and also the strongest in the Mortal Realm.

The superposition of blade and sword was almost comparable to the Immortal's single finger strike in the Earth Immortal Realm back then.

The combined power of their two strikes had already far exceeded the limits of the Mortal Realm, and also far exceeded Qing Li's endurance.

As the holy blade intent and the colorless sword intent approached, they effortlessly shattered Qing Li's proud divine ability shield.

In the face of this strike, the shield was as fragile as paper.

After piercing through with irresistible force, its might undiminished, it accurately struck its target, Qing Li.

With Chen De and the East Sea Sword Saint's level of control over power, they could undoubtedly concentrate the entire attack on Qing Li's body.

And indeed, that's what happened; once the blade intent and sword intent struck Qing Li's body, they unleashed their full power without reservation.

Unlike when it was first unleashed, when its power erupted, it was so calm, so unremarkable.

Any of Qing Li's previous clashes with Myriad Gods had created more commotion than this current one.

After the blade intent and sword intent struck, Chen De and the East Sea Sword Saint both simultaneously fell into a state of lethargy and weakened aura.

In his dying moments, Qing Li seemed to still be in disbelief, muttering blankly, "I never thought I would be defeated by post-celestial ants, and a group of ants who haven't even achieved immortality."

After he finished speaking, three streams of light emerged from his body: one was a black-red light stream, another was a transparent, colorless light stream.

And the last one was his own azure-gold light stream.

As the light streams continuously diffused, Qing Li's body gradually dissipated with them.

To his death, Qing Li still disdained Chen De and these post-celestial beings.

To his death, he still looked down on them.

After Qing Li's form completely dissipated, an azure-gold light mass appeared before the three of them.

This was Qing Li's complete innate origin.

Congenital beings are born immortal.

Therefore, the complete origin of a congenital being is also an immortal existence.

Although Qing Li himself was not immortal, his origin already was, otherwise he would not have been able to be born.

His non-immortality was also caused by Wang Teng's methods and the invisible suppression of the Lower Plane.

As an immortal-grade object, let alone Chen De and the East Sea Sword Saint's strike far exceeding the Mortal Realm's limits.

Even if its power truly reached the Immortal Realm, it would be impossible to harm this innate origin in the slightest.

Because only the immortal can shake the immortal.

Chen De and their attacks did not contain immortal power, so it was impossible to shake the immortal.

Therefore, under the powerful attack just now, only Qing Li's Mortal Realm shell was destroyed, but his true origin remained completely unharmed.

Simply put, they didn't have the ability.

Thus, what appeared before Chen De and the others was a perfect and complete innate origin.

The atmosphere immediately became lively.

Simply because... the moment Qing Li's innate origin first appeared.

Everyone simultaneously received two different styles of attack.

Chen De received a black-and-white energy mass and a transparent sword intent.

Myriad Gods received a blade intent mixed with blood-red and pitch-black, and a transparent sword intent.

The East Sea Sword Saint received a black-and-white energy mass and a blade intent mixed with blood-red and pitch-black.

The three of them simultaneously struck, neutralizing all the attacks before them.

Judging by their stances, neither Myriad Gods, the East Sea Sword Saint, nor Chen De showed any signs of weakness.

Chen De, subjected to the attacks of the two, had eyes full of disbelief, "Benefactor, Sword Brother, you... you all..."

His expression was full of pain, as if he had suffered some unspeakable betrayal.

"I'm telling you, what just happened was actually a misunderstanding."

Seeing the situation before him, Myriad Gods fell silent, then spoke with a forced smile.

"Haha, you know, we fought for so long, and against such a strong opponent, we got a bit carried away and didn't hold back. That's reasonable, right?"

"I have a plausible excuse, having fought alone for so long, but what about you two...?"

"Mhm mhm." Chen De nodded, "Benefactor, I believe you. As for me..."

He looked at the two, "Just as Benefactor said, all of this was a misunderstanding.

After I unleashed that strike, I felt the urge, and I was worried that fellow wasn't thoroughly dead, so I subconsciously added another strike.

That's reasonable, right?"

After Chen De finished speaking, he and Myriad Gods looked intently at the East Sea Sword Saint, as if asking, 'What about you?'

The East Sea Sword Saint: ...He cast a long, lingering glance at the two of them. You've said all the good and bad things, what's left for me to say?

He was already bad with words; wasn't this just bullying an honest person?

After a long pause, he said, "Me too!"
