Immortal Refiner

The entire sky above West Mausoleum Divine Mountain was now shrouded in darkness.

This wasn’t due to the arrival of night, but rather the shadow cast by a colossal, sky-devouring gluttonous beast that blotted out the sun.

This gluttonous beast was far more substantial and ferocious than the one Wu Chong had summoned earlier, its appearance utterly terrifying.

”ROAR!”

The gluttonous beast opened its massive maw, capable of devouring all things, and began to frantically consume the surrounding spiritual energy.

”Devour Heaven and Earth!” Wu Chong’s face paled slightly. Unleashing this divine ability placed a significant burden on him—it was the signature technique of Ancestor Devourer of Heaven himself!

Li Qing, of course, wouldn’t stand idle. A pitch-black flame seal materialized in his palm.

The moment the seal appeared, its searing heat distorted the air around it, causing it to shimmer and warp.

Shattered Origin Black Flame Seal!

Without hesitation, Li Qing hurled the seal—forged from the Spirit Devouring Demon Flame—downward.

Boom!

The seal hurtled through the air at breakneck speed, its passage igniting the surrounding spiritual energy into flames.

Below, the Hall Master of West Mausoleum, his Yin Nether Eye now fully open, showed no fear. The yin energy swirling around him grew increasingly dense, and a chilling wind swept across West Mausoleum Divine Mountain.

Just as the Shattered Origin Black Flame Seal descended, a colossal phantom suddenly materialized from the earth.

This phantom radiated an aura of extreme yin, like a fierce ghost from the depths of Nine Nether Hell!

No, this WAS a fierce ghost from Nine Nether Hell!

The ghost let out a piercing shriek that struck directly into the depths of the soul.

The agonizing shriek made Li Qing and Wu Chong feel as if their divine souls were about to tear apart!

Bang!

The fierce ghost extended its hands and casually slapped away Li Qing’s Shattered Origin Black Flame Seal, as if swatting a mosquito.

With a muffled roar, a torrent of black flames erupted, instantly reducing the ghost’s body to a tattered wreck.

”Fool! The Spirit Devouring Demon Flame is also a heavenly spirit fire, inherently yang and righteous. How dare you use such a yin creature to confront it!”

”Fatty Wu, what are you waiting for? Attack!” Li Qing roared, urging Wu Chong to seize the opportunity.

However, Wu Chong’s combat experience paled in comparison to Li Qing’s. He only reacted belatedly to Li Qing’s shout.

Under Wu Chong’s control, the gluttonous beast in the sky descended with overwhelming momentum.

Gluttonous beast!

This ferocious beast was a True Spirit from the upper realm, possessing unparalleled power!

Wu Chong had manifested this divine ability through his own cultivation manual. Achieving this level of manifestation was already a remarkable feat.

Normally, few core formation realm cultivators could withstand such an attack.

However, the Hall Master of West Mausoleum was no ordinary cultivator. He had reached the late-stage core formation realm even in this great domain with its sparse spiritual energy, a testament to his extraordinary strength.

”Hmph, do you think my Yin Nether Eye can be dealt with so easily?” the Hall Master sneered, his eerie vertical pupil on his forehead twitching slightly.

In an instant, a gale of yin winds erupted, and the fierce ghost, previously crippled by the Shattered Origin Black Flame Seal, instantly regenerated!

Li Qing and Wu Chong’s pupils constricted as they witnessed the scene.

”Roar!”

The gluttonous beast charged forward relentlessly, its momentum unstoppable.

The fierce ghost’s phantom solidified further, launching a ferocious counterattack against the descending gluttonous beast.

Hand seals condensed from yin energy slammed into the gluttonous beast, each impact reverberating with a thunderous boom that shook the surrounding wilderness.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The gluttonous beast and the fierce ghost became entangled in a chaotic clash. Their pitch-black forms blurred together, making it nearly impossible to distinguish one from the other.

Li Qing watched the two colossal entities locked in combat, his expression growing increasingly grave.

Using the shattered origin great fire seal now would inevitably harm Wu Chong’s gluttonous beast.

His gaze quickly shifted to the Hall Master of West Mausoleum, who was activating the Yin Nether Eye.

Strike the leader first!

Sensing Li Qing’s intent, the Hall Master returned his gaze with a cold smile.

”Kill!”

Li Qing clapped his hand, and several sharp blades materialized from his storage pouch.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

These three razor-sharp blades were magic treasures forged simultaneously by the Crimson Hair Immortal.

Now in Li Qing’s possession, they were naturally put to good use.

The blades shot forth instantly, piercing the air with incredible speed. They formed a triangular formation as they hurtled toward the Hall Master of West Mausoleum.

Their angles were cunning, and their attack was relentlessly fierce. Yet the Hall Master merely sneered, showing no trace of panic.

”West Mausoleum Tower! Seize!”

Boom!

The nine-tiered iron tower that Li Qing had sent flying with a hammer blow just now immediately responded, rising into the air and spinning rapidly.

Boundless spiritual light erupted from the gaps between each tier of the ancient tower. As this light swept across the battlefield, it directly absorbed the three Po Jun Blades Li Qing had just launched into the tower’s interior!

”This...”

Li Qing was utterly astonished by this sight.

As an artifact refiner himself, he felt as if he had witnessed something utterly inconceivable.

The tower had actually captured his magic treasures!

How is it possible for this treasure tower to imprison others’ magic treasures?!

Instantly, the thought of escape took root in Li Qing’s mind.

With such an heaven-defying tower, who in the world could possibly defeat the Hall Master of West Mausoleum? From now on, no matter what opponent he faced, he could simply use the tower to suppress them.

Li Qing attempted to activate the three Po Jun Blades using his divine sense.

Alas, his divine sense received no response, sinking into the tower like a mud ox into the sea—utterly silent and lifeless.

A chill ran down Li Qing’s spine, his heart growing cold. He felt utterly lost and helpless.

How am I supposed to fight this? The West Mausoleum Tower can absorb any opponent’s magic treasures! It’s completely invincible!

Especially since he was an artifact refiner, wouldn’t most of his reliable combat methods be rendered useless?

No!

This defies all reason! How could such an absurdly powerful magic treasure exist? It’s not even a so-called heaven-piercing spirit treasure!

And why didn’t the tower absorb my Primordial Chaos Peerless Hammer when I used it just now?

Li Qing instantly regained his composure, his mind racing with possibilities.

That’s right! Fatty Wu’s Heaven Devourer Ring wasn’t absorbed either.

Does this mean the tower can’t absorb natal magic treasures?

With this realization, Li Qing gripped the Primordial Chaos Peerless Hammer once more, a look of grim determination hardening his features.

”Kill!”

Wielding the massive hammer, Li Qing charged forward with unparalleled ferocity, the wind whipping through his hair. He now resembled an enraged vajra, a wrathful guardian deity.
