417: Purple Heaven Divine Thunder

Soon, Mu Qingling collected her thoughts. For her currently, many things were beyond her reach; after all, her strength was limited, and she was not yet qualified to know such secrets.

"Raising my cultivation is the top priority!"

Mu Qingling turned and left the hinterland of the Ten Thousand Beast God Mountain. Because the aura of the Bai Ze had been exposed just moments ago, all the powerful Yao Beasts within the Ten Thousand Beast God Mountain had already fled to other corners. Therefore, there were no powerful Yao Beasts left in the core area of the Ten Thousand Beast God Mountain.

After leaving the hinterland of the Ten Thousand Beast God Mountain, just as Mu Qingling was about to depart, three figures came speeding from the distance.

"Mu Qingling!"

The familiar voice made Mu Qingling's eyes go cold. She paused, looked into the distance, and a sky-piercing Sword Intent immediately spread out. Jiang He! She was all too familiar with this voice.

She had not expected that Jiang He would still be so persistent. She had already spared his life once, yet he had actually come to find trouble with her again. Did he really think that having the Jiang Family behind him made him fearless?

Jiang He did not get close to Mu Qingling. Instead, he stopped at a distance and watched her from afar. Feeling the coldness in Mu Qingling's eyes, Jiang He did not mind. However, seeing that Mu Qingling was unharmed, he instinctively felt a sense of relief.

Jiang He's expression was somewhat strange. Seeing Mu Qingling again, he actually didn't know what to say. According to the normal script, he should have been shouting that he wanted to kill Mu Qingling, but for some reason, he simply couldn't do it.

"Young Master Jiang is truly persistent. I must admire you; your wounds have just healed, and you've already started looking for trouble with me again." As Mu Qingling spoke, she was quietly retreating. Jiang He coming back again meant he surely didn't just have two Immortal Emperors following him; there must be other helpers.

The two Immortal Emperors beside Jiang He, having experienced the previous events, were also looking at Mu Qingling with vigilant eyes. This time, Jiang He absolutely could not have anything go wrong. Otherwise, they would be the ones in trouble.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang He said to Mu Qingling, "I'm sorry."

Huh? Mu Qingling frowned. She looked at Jiang He with some confusion; what kind of trick was this?

Jiang He continued, "I was almost killed by you this time. I've thought about it a lot, and perhaps the one who was wrong was indeed me."

A bitter look appeared on his face. In the past, his playboy behavior was likely just to make his family pay more attention to him. Because his talent was indeed average, and he was considered quite mediocre within the entire Jiang Family. At the very least, he was not worthy of the title of the Jiang Family's eldest young master.

But having experienced this life-and-death crisis, Jiang He had figured out many things.

Jiang He took a deep breath and said with a firm expression, "Mu Qingling, I will surpass you in my own way. I want to make you truly become my woman."

To be honest, he hated that wimp Jiang He from before. So, from now on, he was going to truly change.

Mu Qingling also frowned slightly; the Jiang He before her made her feel incredibly strange.

"Heh." With a cold laugh, Mu Qingling's face was full of mockery. In her opinion, Jiang He's change was likely just a disguise, or perhaps just a temporary change. A dog can't change its habit of eating feces; for that playboy Jiang He to want to change, that was just too difficult.

"Young Master Jiang, do you really think this young lady is so easily fooled?"

Jiang He shook his head calmly and said to the two Immortal Emperors beside him, "You two, step back."

Both of their expressions changed drastically: "Young Master, this..."

"Step back!" Jiang He's expression turned cold, his tone unquestionable, and even a bit overbearing.

Hearing this, the two had no choice but to retreat. However, they did not retreat too far, and the power within their bodies was ready to explode; if anything happened to Jiang He, they would rush to save him at the first opportunity.

Jiang He walked forward, took a deep breath, and his expression was resolute: "I want to have a duel with you again. I want to see how big the gap is between you and me!"

Mu Qingling's eyes were full of sarcasm. Jiang He was merely an Immortal Venerable Cultivator, while she was a quasi-Immortal Emperor with the combat power to fight across realms. So, this was almost a battle without any suspense. Was it another conspiracy? But looking at Jiang He's expression, it didn't seem like he was acting.

"Young Master Jiang, you should know what your own strength is, right? Challenging me to a duel, are you really not afraid of death?" Mu Qingling's expression was vigilant; she didn't want to get tangled up with this foolish playboy Jiang He.

Jiang He shook his head: "It doesn't matter."

Mu Qingling's eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't waste any more words, but drew her sword and slashed over. This strike could not be considered very strong; at most, it barely reached the attack level of a second-grade quasi-Emperor. However, for Jiang He, this was absolutely a terrifying attack.

The Qi within his body erupted, lightning arcs burst forth around him, and then Jiang He used his strongest move to strike at that Sword Intent.

In just one exchange, Jiang He retreated dozens of steps; clearly, resisting Mu Qingling's Sword Intent was extremely difficult for him.

"Young Master!" The two Immortal Emperors not far behind had extremely anxious expressions; they were truly afraid that something would happen to Jiang He.

Jiang He struggled to resist the Sword Intent, but in the end, he was still sent flying. The terrifying Sword Intent almost split his body in two.

Seeing this, the two Immortal Emperors immediately prepared to step forward to help, but Jiang He roared again: "Stay away!"

He struggled to stand up, a hideous wound running from his neck diagonally to his waist, almost cutting into half of his body. Blood flowed directly down his body, his clothes were dyed bright red, and the Sword Intent was still continuously eroding his Physical Body.

A bitter smile appeared on Jiang He's face: "So... the gap between us is this big."

The excruciating pain from his body did not change his expression. Jiang He stood up shakily, his eyes becoming firm again.

"But, this time I cannot be like I was before."

In an instant, an unstoppable force of destruction was released from his body. The originally white lightning arcs began to change and became denser.

Soon, purple lightning arcs covered his entire body. These lightning arcs contained the ultimate power of destruction, as if they could destroy everything.

Even Mu Qingling was shocked. This lightning... something is wrong!

The Qi within Jiang He's body surged violently, instantly reaching the quasi-Immortal Emperor level, and the purple lightning full of destructive power on his body became increasingly violent.

"Boom!" Thunder exploded in the sky, and all the Yao Beasts within the Ten Thousand Beast God Mountain couldn't help but tremble.

Following that, a towering figure appeared in the sky. He almost occupied one-third of the entire Azure Heaven Realm; everyone could see this terrifyingly huge figure. This figure was entirely composed of purple lightning power, containing an indescribable and terrifying power of destruction.

"This is... Purple Heaven Divine Lightning. Could it be that someone in this world has done something outrageous again?"

"No, if the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm wanted to kill those who have committed heinous crimes, it would simply send down Heavenly Lightning. I have never seen this lightning shadow before."

"Then what exactly is this?"
