”Such audacity! I can’t tell if you’re ignorant or merely arrogant,” the great power cultivator of the divine transformation stage sneered, waving his hand. Primordial energy from heaven and earth surged toward his body.

Li Qing’s expression remained calm, his eyes as still as an ancient well.

”If you want me to address you as ’senior,’ you’ll have to prove you deserve the title.”

As his words faded, a pair of silver-purple bone wings suddenly materialized behind Li Qing.

Whoosh!

In that instant, he channeled the Wind-Thunder Power of heaven and earth, drawing strength from the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings on his back.

In the blink of an eye, Wind-Thunder energy surged through the heavens and earth, empowering the bone wings and adding a sharp edge to Li Qing’s aura.

”A mere yellow-grade spirit treasure? Is that all you rely on?” Cultivator Qin scoffed, dismissing the display entirely.

He pointed a finger at Li Qing.

Boom!

A colossal finger formed from the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth slammed toward Li Qing, distorting the space before it.

Normally, such a strike would be beyond the capabilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator to withstand, far exceeding the limits of that realm.

Li Qing was no ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. With his array of techniques, he was confident he could hold his own against a great power at the Divine Transformation stage.

Behind him, a pair of Wind-Thunder Silver Wings vibrated to life.

In less than the blink of an eye, multiple Li Qing figures materialized across the surrounding heaven and earth.

Each figure bore a pair of Wind-Thunder Silver Wings, which flapped in unison, resonating with the surging Wind-Thunder Power of the cosmos.

Boom!

Wind-Thunder Phantom Break Strike!

Hundreds of Li Qing figures surged forward simultaneously, converging on Cultivator Qin’s position.

Initially, Cultivator Qin dismissed this as a mere illusion technique. He unleashed his divine sense power to locate Li Qing’s true body.

But the instant his divine sense spread outward, crimson streaks appeared across his body—wounds inflicted by the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings!

”All true bodies?” Cultivator Qin’s pupils contracted sharply, utterly unprepared for this outcome.

Before his words could even fade, his body was once again slashed by the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings, leaving him covered in wounds within moments.

There were no illusions here—this was no mere illusion technique!

This was Li Qing’s ultimate display of speed. He not only fully activated the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings but also channeled the Kunpeng Divine Power within his body. The combined force of these two extreme velocities surpassed the limits of the Human Realm!

Each afterimage was Li Qing’s true body, their overlapping forms merely a consequence of his overwhelming speed.

Faced with this relentless, lightning-fast assault, the Surname Qin cultivator’s expression finally turned grave. He once again mobilized the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth, this time focusing earth-attribute primordial energy to reinforce his body.

Bang!

Finally, one of Li Qing’s strikes was blocked. The Wind-Thunder Silver Wings slammed into a thick earthen wall that had materialized abruptly.

”Extreme joy breeds sorrow!” the Surname Qin cultivator declared, suddenly sitting cross-legged and uttering these cryptic words.

In the next instant, as if his words had become law, a smile inexplicably bloomed on Li Qing’s face.

The smile grew increasingly exaggerated until he was clutching his stomach and roaring with laughter.

”Hahahaha!”

By the end, tears streamed from the corners of his eyes, as if he had plunged into the depths of sorrow.

Snap!

The Surname Qin cultivator snapped his fingers and calmly declared, ”From sorrow comes joy, from joy comes sorrow!”

Overwhelmed by grief, Li Qing’s tears gave way to a faint smile.

In that moment, he realized his emotions were being manipulated, yet he couldn’t fathom how his opponent had so easily seized control.

Still, Li Qing’s will remained intact. Amidst his bizarre display of weeping and laughter, he extended his hands, and three distinct strands of heavenly spirit fire erupted from his palms, converging into a massive fiery seal.

”Heavenly spirit fire?” Cultivator Qin raised an eyebrow, then sneered. ”A frightened bird!”

With another snap of his fingers—

Snap!

A sudden, overwhelming terror gripped Li Qing’s heart, as if the specter of death were about to descend upon him.

The heavenly spirit fire in his hands instantly dissipated.

His legs moved of their own accord, beyond his control, his heartbeat accelerating wildly.

Seeing this, Cultivator Qin finally rose to his feet, a confident smile spreading across his face.

He slowly pointed at Li Qing and declared, ”There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart.”

Li Qing’s eyes dimmed abruptly, his emotions on the verge of falling completely under the other man’s control.

But at that very moment, a melody as ethereal as immortal music began to resonate softly within his mind.

Exquisite Immortal Sound!

The moment Li Qing resolved to fight to the death, the instant his emotions and mind fell completely under his opponent’s control, the immortal melody that could only passively protect him resonated once more within his consciousness!

In an instant, all negative emotions vanished from Li Qing’s heart, and his wavering mind snapped back into his control.

Drawing a sharp breath, Li Qing didn’t hesitate. His hand clenched in the void, summoning a Peerless Killing Sword of pure gold into his grasp.

He dared not channel too much power into the strike, fearing his emotions and mind might be subtly manipulated again.

Swish!

Without a word, Li Qing slashed out with a backhanded strike.

A brilliant arc of sword qi tore through the air, cleaving through Surname Qin’s body before the man could even react.

Only when the pain seared into his divine soul did he realize Li Qing had broken free of his control.

”Impossible! Even with your powerful divine soul, you couldn’t have escaped my grasp! That melody just now... was that the Exquisite Immortal Sound?!” Qin Siya exclaimed in shock.

But he would soon learn that this was only the beginning of his astonishment!

Li Qing’s mana poured forth like a surging river, fully infusing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings behind him with true essence and mana.

He was simultaneously activating two spirit treasures—an astonishing feat!

For any Nascent Soul cultivator, activating two spirit treasures at once would rapidly deplete their mana, making it difficult to sustain the effort. This was especially true for the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, a Profound-Grade Spirit Treasure that demanded an exorbitant amount of mana.

Yet Li Qing had achieved this. Not only did he possess abundant mana, but he had also recklessly sacrificed his lifespan to condense seven-colored life essence and infuse it into the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.

Executing the White Emperor Golden Sovereign Slash, his ultimate killing move, required considerable time. Li Qing feared that during this process, his mind might be influenced by his opponent.

Being interrupted would be manageable, but he dreaded the possibility of his mind being manipulated, causing the sword to turn against him—a tragic repetition of the Formless Saint Ancestor’s dao body’s fate.

Therefore, he needed to unleash the killing sword with lightning speed, combining it with the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings behind him.

This was a new killing move—a powerful trump card requiring simultaneous activation of two spirit treasures!

”Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!” Li Qing murmured, his figure once again splitting into countless phantoms.

This time, however, each phantom wielded a Peerless Killing Sword.
