What kind of terrifying entity had targeted him? For this being, creating divine transformation realm dao bodies seemed as effortless as drinking water.
The three dao bodies simultaneously twisted their heads, though they lacked eyes, they clearly turned their gazes toward Li Qing.
"I thought I'd have to scour this realm," one dao body sneered, "but you've conveniently waited for me here. Did you realize you couldn't escape?"
Another dao body nodded. "Wise choice. Why not surrender now and save me the trouble of taking action?"
Li Qing's response was direct. A pair of silver-purple bone wings unfurled behind him, and he gripped a radiant golden killing sword tightly in his hand.
"Today, I shall slay three more dao bodies of the Demon Realm Saint Ancestor to celebrate acquiring this new, well-suited spirit treasure."
Boom!
He channeled a vast torrent of Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth, focusing it into the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. A terrifying sharpness erupted, as if to tear the very fabric of the sky.
Li Qing raised the killing sword high and slashed it toward the three Holy Ancestor's Dao Bodies hovering in the sky.
A heaven-shattering wave of sword qi erupted, piercing through space and ignoring distance, striking directly at the Formless Saint Ancestor.
Yet these were, after all, Holy Ancestor's Dao Bodies—how could they be so easily slain?
One of the dao bodies stepped forward, blocking the attack.
"Formless True Demonic Body!"
This dao body represented the Formless Saint Ancestor's mastery of the fleshly body. Within the divine transformation realm, his physical form was absolutely unparalleled.
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword's strike was blocked—a first since the blade's creation.
Another dao body emitted an ethereal voice: "Formless Soul-Annihilating Sound!"
This dao body represented the Formless Saint Ancestor's mastery over the divine soul. Its divine sense was unparalleled, capable of instantly annihilating the souls of those at the same cultivation level.
Fortunately, Li Qing's divine sense was equally formidable. He had cultivated the Soul Refinement Scripture and was protected by the Exquisite Immortal Sound.
As a melodious rhythm resonated through the air, the soul-annihilating sound waves targeting Li Qing's divine sense were effortlessly deflected.
But this was far from over. The three dao bodies grew increasingly formidable.
The final dao body, wielding the Formless Saint Ancestor's divine abilities and cultivation techniques, was the most terrifying of all.
"Formless Demonic Domain!"
Boom!
In an instant, the entire world transformed into a desolate expanse of demonic soil.
Li Qing felt immense pressure. Within this demonic soil, the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth he could draw upon had become critically thin, suppressed by some higher-rank force.
He had never encountered such a technique before!
Then, twisted, grotesque faces materialized in the sky, their eyes all fixed on Li Qing.
An absurd and inexplicable sensation surged through Li Qing's heart. The gazes of these faces seemed to carry a murderous intent.
I can't let this continue!
Li Qing roared, simultaneously activating the four heavenly spirit fires within his body.
Boom!
Four-colored flames erupted from his body, with the Great Sun Golden Flame shining most brilliantly. It transformed into a massive sun that materialized behind Li Qing, amplifying his imposing presence.
In the next instant, the four heavenly spirit fires erupted, unleashing boundless flames that swept across the demonic soil, which resembled a vast field, obliterating everything in their path.
The three dao bodies of the Formless Saint Ancestor floated high above, calmly observing the carnage.
"Heh, is the dharma domain too advanced for you?"
Li Qing was indeed under immense pressure, finding it nearly impossible to mobilize the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth. This crippling limitation stripped him of the divine transformation realm's greatest advantage.
Just then, a concentrated beam of starlight descended, piercing the demonic domain's blockade and reinforcing Li Qing.
It was True Monarch Tianbao. Sensing the dire situation, he had immediately halted his mending of the heavens and activated a formation to bolster Li Qing, just as he had done before.
"Perfect timing!" Li Qing channeled the starlight's power into his killing sword, simultaneously infusing it with his mana.
But he wasn't finished yet. With ruthless resolve, he sacrificed a thousand years of his own lifespan, causing a vast surge of seven-colored life essence to erupt within him.
Without hesitation, Li Qing poured the seven-colored life essence into the killing sword, further amplifying its power.
In that instant, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword's aura surged to an absurd level, far surpassing the limits of the human realm and approaching the realm of an earth-grade spiritual treasure.
"White Emperor Golden Sovereign Slash!"
Li Qing unleashed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword in a devastating strike. The blade seemed to cleave the heavens and earth, splitting the entire demonic domain in two.
Moreover, the Saint Ancestor's Dao Body maintaining the demonic domain suffered severe damage.
Boom!
The demonic domain binding Li Qing shattered completely, and he seized the opportunity to activate his Wind-Thunder Silver Wings and burst free.
"As expected of a cultivator with such a peculiar fate. Truly difficult to deal with."
"If we had sent one fewer dao body today, things might have taken a disastrous turn."
The three Holy Ancestor's Dao Bodies began to attract each other, converging and ultimately merging into a single entity.
The process was swift; within moments, the three dao bodies had fused into one.
Fleshly body, primordial spirit, and mana—the three were now one, each having reached the absolute peak of the divine transformation realm!
A terrifying aura permeated the air, causing space itself to tremble as if the void could be shattered with a mere gesture.
Incredibly powerful! Utterly overwhelming!
This was Li Qing's sole impression. He dared not relax his guard; this was the most formidable opponent he had ever faced in his life.
"The Great Dao is Formless, the Great Dao is Invisible."
"All things return to nothingness!"
Buzz!
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth vanished completely, and the entire snow-field was overturned.
Li Qing, caught in the midst of this cataclysm, felt an unbearable pressure, as if his divine soul were being forcibly torn from his fleshly body.
He could only desperately guard his mind, using his mana to resist the onslaught. Yet cracks began to spiderweb across his fleshly body, threatening to shatter him entirely.
In this critical moment, a string of text appeared before Li Qing's eyes:
[Refining of Profound-Grade Spirit Treasure: Annihilation Furnace successful! Reward: 3,000 years of lifespan!]
Yes, the Annihilation Furnace had finally weathered the heavenly tribulation and achieved complete perfection!
Without hesitation, Li Qing willed it into action!
Boom!
A massive golden forge materialized before Li Qing, shielding him from the formless, intangible impact.
The moment the Annihilation Furnace landed in his hands, before he could even fully grasp its essence, he heard ethereal chanting resonating from within—a truly divine phenomenon.
But he had no time to dwell on it. He poured mana into the forge, causing its golden body to expand section by section, as if it were meant to bear the weight of heaven and earth itself.
"Annihilation Furnace, let life be reborn!"
Li Qing stepped onto the furnace's rim, and a surge of vibrant life force swept through him, instantly healing every wound on his body.
The Annihilation Furnace could not only extinguish life force but also nurture it. Destruction and creation—the dual nature of this spirit treasure!
With this treasure in hand, Li Qing's confidence soared. He now dared to challenge the Saint Ancestor's Dao Body, a three-in-one entity!
