110: Slaying the Holy Maiden of Qingqiu

Clang! Two rays of destructive light, one gold and one black, intertwined and struck the heaven punishing evil-breaking sword saint dharma image. The incredibly powerful force instantly obliterated nearly half of the dharma image's body.

However, Li Jiangchen's physical body remained unharmed.

Covered by incense fire, the heaven punishing evil-breaking sword saint dharma image rapidly repaired itself. Li Jiangchen pointed his Sword Light, causing the Void Realm to tremble as a figure of a Buddha appeared.

Wearing yellow kasaya, with a large belly and a laughing mouth, a halo of Buddha light shone behind his head. The moment he opened his mouth, his laughter shook the heavens and the earth.

Looking closely, his teeth resembled inverted mountain peaks, and his tongue was covered in sharp barbs. Countless Buddhist disciples wove between the mountain-like barbs, only to be pierced one after another as the laughter rang out, transforming into streams of Buddha light.

On the other side, a ghostly shadow streaked through the air before vanishing, fleeing toward the horizon to rapidly snatch up the scattered martial meridian fragments.

"That little thief's dharma image body is incredibly tough. I will have to trouble you, Mixiao, to hold him off."

"You damn slutty fox, how dare you set this Buddha up." Bodhisattva Mixiao's face was dark. He untied the Yellow Wind Bag in his hand, and Buddha light gushed out, crazily devouring everything around him, completely ignoring Li Jiangchen.

'The Yao Race and the Myriad Buddhas Sect are not exactly monolithic.' Li Jiangchen cast a glance around; various factions were all scrambling for the martial meridian fragments.

He immediately expanded his Sword Domain and continued to join the scramble.

In the blink of an eye, most of the martial meridian fragments had been snatched up, leaving only one fragment the size of ten zhang still caught in the struggle.

"This object is fated with my Myriad Buddhas Sect." Bodhisattva Gudeng sacrificed a green lantern, which exuded the aura of a supreme grade Spiritual Artifact.

The lamp oil on it burned furiously, emitting bursts of wailing from Buddhist disciples.

Suddenly, the green lantern emitted a beam of light that seemed to freeze the surroundings, causing even the Pseudo-Saint entities present to experience a momentary trance. It was the Divine Ability: A Lifetime in a Moment!

"This object belongs to This Old Monk."

Just as Bodhisattva Gudeng approached, a golden Sword Light slashed out, its boundless sharpness forcing him back.

"How could you recover so quickly..." Bodhisattva Gudeng's face showed astonishment.

A Lifetime in a Moment was a Divine Soul-type Divine Ability. When catalyzed by a supreme grade Spiritual Artifact, it could affect even a Sub-Saint for an instant, unless one possessed a supreme grade Spiritual Artifact specifically for protecting the Divine Soul, they would not be able to remain unaffected.

Little did he know, Li Jiangchen's Divine Soul was already a hundred times stronger than his peers, and his heart and mind were guarded by the emperor pill, which was even more powerful than ordinary supreme grade Spiritual Artifacts for the Divine Soul.

In that instant, Li Jiangchen quietly approached and grabbed with a large hand of True Qi, pulling that ten-zhang-sized martial meridian fragment into his Demon Kingdom.

"Many thanks for your help, Gudeng. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for This Li to obtain this object."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gudeng's face turned as dark as water.

Four Sub-Saint auras swept over.

"Hand over all the martial meridian fragments, or die!" Bodhisattva Mixiao said coldly.

"Hehe, have you all forgotten about This King? Let This King play with you." The Qiantang River Dragon King revealed his true form, transforming into a giant Dragon hundreds of zhang long, and spewed a mouthful of scorching Dragon breath, dragging Mixiao and Gudeng into the battle.

Just a moment ago, while Li Jiangchen was dealing with the four Sub-Saints, he had led the Martial Temple to snatch up quite a few martial meridian fragments.

'Deal with these two as quickly as possible. This King cannot hold on for too long.' The Qiantang River Dragon King sent a secret voice transmission.

"Rest assured. Everything will be over very quickly."

Li Jiangchen spat out the emperor pill, crazily extracting pill Qi and merging it into the Immortal Sword Domain. The terrifying power caused the expressions of the two Qingqiu Saintesses to change drastically.

Inside the emperor-grade Immortal Sword Domain, the two Sub-Saints felt their Yao power being crazily suppressed, and they could only exert half of their strength.

"Madman! Extracting pill Qi like this will greatly damage your potential, and your hopes of advancing to the Saint Realm in the future will be slim."

"I have a supreme grade defensive Spiritual Artifact; I want to see how long you can hold on."

Qing Yunmo suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence blood, staining the cloud canopy Spiritual Artifact red, protecting herself and obstructing the erosion of the Immortal Sword Domain.

The Saintess Qing'an, who was proficient in the Dao of Shadows, sacrificed a fist-sized black stone, which refracted thousands of shadows.

Her figure moved at high speed through the shadows, becoming elusive.

"Pill Qi? This Li has plenty of it."

Li Jiangchen looked at his panel; his Demon cultivation was burning crazily, replenishing the consumption of pill Qi.

Extracting pill Qi was not a one-time killing move. It was just slow to recover, often taking thousands of years.

The Lifespan of a Pseudo-Saint was only a thousand years; consuming the Origin of pill Qi was no different from having one's path of Dao severed.

And the emperor pill far exceeded a first-grade Golden Core; not only was the pill Qi rich, but the time required for recovery was as long as ten thousand years.

However, the thing Li Jiangchen lacked the least was time.

Finally, the pill Qi absorbed by the Immortal Sword Domain reached its limit, and the terrifying oppressive force caused the Void Realm to faintly distort.

Qing Yunmo's expression was ugly as she pushed the defensive power of the cloud canopy Spiritual Artifact to its limit, barely bringing a trace of security.

"Void Gold Town-Slaying Sword!"

A golden Sword Light streaked past, abruptly killing toward Saintess Qing'an, who was weaving through thousands of shadows.

In an instant, Qing Yunmo breathed a sigh of relief, her palms covered in sweat. A Human Race Embracing the Core had actually forced her to this point.

"Qing'an's Shadow Dao is approaching Perfection, only a line away from being a Yao Saint. Coupled with the supreme grade Spiritual Artifact, the Shadow Stone, specially refined by the Old Ancestor, even if a Martial Saint came to capture her, it would take some effort."

However, the next moment, her pupils constricted as she saw the Sword Light pierce into the thousands of shadows. With a squelch, a blood-stained fox figure fell out, and the terrifying Sword Qi crazily shredded every inch of flesh, preventing her from regenerating from a drop of blood.

In the blink of an eye, only a Yao core remained, with a trace of a demon soul appearing on it.

At the same time, black mist swept over, and a suction force emerged, instantly swallowing the Yao core and the demon soul.

【Slayed Pseudo-Saint Fox Demon *1, obtained 67,000 years of Demon cultivation.】

"Not bad. It was worth consuming 50,000 years of Demon Lifespan to refine the pill Qi." Li Jiangchen brandished his sword, pointing directly at the remaining Qing Yunmo.

In an instant, Qing Yunmo's whole body trembled, and a sense of impending disaster welled up in her heart.

"With a supreme grade Spiritual Artifact protecting my body, I don't believe you can kill me!" Qing Yunmo spat out three more mouthfuls of essence blood, merging them into the cloud canopy.

In the blink of an eye, the Sword Light arrived and landed on the cloud canopy, immediately causing a violent tremor, but the cloud canopy still did not shatter.

The moment a trace of joy appeared on Qing Yunmo's face, a ray of silver light penetrated the cloud canopy's protection from within the Sword Light, killing its way into her Soul Sea.

The cloud canopy was not a supreme grade Spiritual Artifact for guarding the Divine Soul, so naturally, it could not block the heaven punishing evil-breaking dharma eye sword hidden within the Sword Light.

This sword specialized in attacking the Divine Soul, and with intent catching her off guard, its effect was immediate.

Qing Yunmo was seen with disheveled hair, bleeding from her seven orifices, looking like a vicious ghost, desperately trying to flee.

However, lacking the cloud canopy to control it, its defensive power plummeted, and the terrifying sharpness struck from behind.

At this moment, the Void Realm trembled, and a vast aura faintly emerged, transforming into the face of an old man.

"Old Ancestor, save me!" Qing Yunmo cried out miserably, as if grabbing onto the last straw.

However, the Sword Light did not pause in the slightest, instantly swallowing Qing Yunmo and shredding all her aura.

【Slayed Pseudo-Saint Fox Demon *1, obtained Peerless Grade Dao technique: Incarnation.】

Li Jiangchen released his Demon Kingdom and was about to seize the Divine Soul and Yao core when he felt the Void Realm tremble. A vast, majestic power transformed into a large hand that descended, inserting itself into the Immortal Sword Domain and grabbing toward Qing Yunmo's Divine Soul and Yao core.

Li Jiangchen was naturally unwilling to give up, so he immediately slashed out a Sword Light, attacking that giant green hand. In the moment of obstruction, the Demon Kingdom absorbed all of the Divine Soul and Yao core.

"Junior, how bold!"

The Qingqiu Old Ancestor let out a sharp shout, the Void Realm trembled, and the aura of a Yao Saint filled the heavens and earth, descending like Mount Tai pressing down.
