Immortal Refiner

Li Qing’s voice suddenly turned icy cold, his meaning clear: either take the bone and return to your self-imposed seclusion, or I’ll personally claim your life.

This domineering attitude startled Kun Yuan, a divine transformation cultivator of many years.

”Heh heh heh... How many years has it been? Since my divine transformation, you’re the first to dare speak to me like that.”

”Having only recently achieved the divine transformation realm, you presume to flaunt the authority of the Supreme of the Mortal Realm before me? Isn’t that a bit premature?”

As Kun Yuan spoke, the layers of black mist swirling around him began to tremble, coalescing into a ferocious beast with bared fangs and claws.

Li Qing held his ground effortlessly. Three heavenly spirit fires erupted from his shoulders and crown, converging in the Three Flowers Converging at the Crown formation, causing his aura to surge to its peak.

The two divine transformation great power cultivators unleashed their qi mechanisms without restraint, causing the entire snow mountain to tremble. Their terrifying auras threatened to shatter the entire mountain range.

At that moment, a sigh echoed through the air.

Old Woman Caixia gently tapped her staff against the ground and spoke, ”Alas, fellow daoists, it would be best to refrain from such a fierce battle here. This is our self-sealed sanctuary. If we destroy the snow mountain, finding another ice-sealed refuge like this would mean journeying to the far northern snow plains or the Underground Ice Palace in the Great Wilderness Domain.”

”Remember, several other fellow daoists are still sealed in ice here. If they were to break free as well, this old one lacks the energy to re-seal so many divine transformation realm comrades.”

Kun Yuan remained silent for a moment before striding into the air, heading toward the Cold Wind Secret Realm’s exit. He left behind a single, terse challenge:

”Come out and fight.”

Without hesitation, Li Qing’s figure flickered, and he too ascended beyond the snow mountain, his qi mechanism fully unleashed.

Li Qing’s vast qi and blood surged like a torrential flood, while his profound mana flowed like a mighty river.

Boom!

Facing a fellow cultivator in the divine transformation realm, Li Qing struck first, unleashing all three of his heavenly spirit fires.

As his immense mana surged, flames erupted, and three fire dragons of different colors soared into the sky.

The scorching heat instantly vaporized the surrounding clouds and mist, and the three fire dragons charged forward, tearing through the surrounding black mist.

”Three heavenly spirit fires? Your fortune is indeed remarkable, but this alone won’t suffice to maintain your prestige as the Supreme of the Mortal Realm.”

Kun Yuan snapped his fingers, and the black mist swirling around him expanded, dyeing the entire sky into an inky void.

The yin qi within the black mist was so dense that it briefly suppressed the three fire dragons forged from heavenly spirit fire—an astonishing feat!

Before long, the fire dragons flickered and died, never even reaching Kun Yuan’s side.

Li Qing’s brow furrowed deeply. He couldn’t identify the black mist, and a profound sense of astonishment rose within him.

Though he hadn’t used Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth to ignite the spirit fires, the mana he channeled into them should have been enough to incinerate anything in the world. Yet here, they were being suppressed.

”Surprised?”

”In the Western Wind Sea Domain, there once existed a natural disaster known as the Yinming Ghost Mist. This calamity would appear sporadically, each time claiming the lives of countless mortals and cultivators.”

”After achieving divine transformation, I quelled the Yinming Ghost Mist and seized its source, refining it for my own use.”

”Since then, the Western Wind Sea Domain has been spared this disaster. By manipulating space, I saved countless lives. What do you think of this accomplishment?”

As Kun Yuan spoke, his hands never ceased moving. His mana surged within him, conjuring grotesque mist demons one after another.

These mist demons, anchored to the black mist, were truly impervious to blades and spears, water and fire. Even the most formidable body arts realm could not harm these vaporous monstrosities.

The mist demons charged toward Li Qing in a massive wave, their forms radiating a dense yinming aura.

Seeing this, Li Qing’s thoughts flickered, and a pair of silver-purple bone wings materialized behind him.

With a surge of wind thunder power, a torrent of heavenly thunder erupted, obliterating vast swaths of mist demons.

Having weathered the divine transformation tribulation, the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings had become even more profound and formidable, their power now rivaling that of the most potent yellow-grade spirit treasures.

”An admirable feat, Fellow Daoist,” Li Qing replied sincerely, his words devoid of flattery. ”Your actions benefit both yourself and others, a virtue this Li cannot match.”

”However, that’s not why I’m yielding. Even if you possess unparalleled merit, Fellow Daoist, I will still take my Second Brother with me today.”

As he spoke, Li Qing unleashed a torrent of Kunpeng divine power from within his body, accompanied by a mournful cry resembling the wail of a thousand birds.

Screech!

In the next instant, a golden Peerless Killing Sword materialized in Li Qing’s hand.

Whoosh!

With a flash of spatial distortion, his figure vanished, leaving behind an overwhelming aura of razor-sharpness that permeated heaven and earth.

The moment the auras of two spirit treasures manifested, Kun Yuan shuddered, sensing imminent danger.

”Spirit treasures! No wonder the heavenly tribulation’s aura was so terrifying, nearly piercing through heaven and earth!”

As he spoke, Kun Yuan’s body completely dissolved into mist, merging seamlessly with the Yinming Ghost Mist.

In the blink of an eye, several streams of sword qi erupted forth, cleaving through space itself. This attack far exceeded the maximum limits the human realm could withstand.

Li Qing scanned his surroundings, his divine sense extending outward in search of Kun Yuan’s true form.

Yet even with his formidable divine sense, he couldn’t pinpoint Kun Yuan’s location. Could it be that the entire black mist was his true form?

”Such a cunning hiding technique,” Li Qing mused. ”But if this is all you have, I’ll simply shatter this entire space.”
