"Supreme Spirit Treasure, I didn't expect such a gain!" Lord Heimu licked his lips, his eyes burning with intensity as he looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's expression was blank. Facing a peak mighty being at the sixth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, he felt no confidence.
He could only hope for an opportunity to escape.
"Come on, use whatever other methods you have, otherwise, you won't get the chance!" Lord Heimu, seeing Jiang Li show no fear, continued to provoke.
"Blade of Grass Intent!!!"
"Kill of Ages!!!"
Jiang Li said nothing and took out his Panwu Divine Sword, unleashing his Kill of Ages and Blade of Grass Intent.
As Jiang Li performed his sword technique, a sword light that tore through everything appeared from his long sword.
The sword light, carrying an unparalleled aura of killing and terrifying pressure, slashed forward.
Lord Heimu didn't even raise an eyelid. He extended a single finger and lightly tapped Jiang Li's boundless sword light.
The sword light emitted by Jiang Li was instantly shattered by Lord Heimu's finger.
A majestic aura shattered in all directions, kicking up a violent gust of wind.
So strong?
Jiang Li's face turned extremely grim. The Kill of Ages and Blade of Grass Intent were already among Jiang Li's more powerful techniques.
Yet, they couldn't even scratch Lord Heimu.
The strength of the sixth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm was truly terrifying.
"Hahaha, bring out whatever other methods you have! Let me see what skills these current peerless prodigies possess!" Lord Heimu burst into laughter, his eyes filled with mockery.
Lord Heimu had stayed in the Northern Plains Glacier for countless years. Now that he had finally left, his spirits were high.
"Senior Sister Xia, prepare to flee. I have one more move!!!" Jiang Li took a deep breath and transmitted his voice to Xia Qingying.
One more move? Xia Qingying was surprised. Junior Brother Jiang Li still had a trick up his sleeve.
Xia Qingying gave a barely perceptible nod.
Immediately after, Jiang Li mobilized all the power within his body.
The Yellow Springs Saint Slaying Diagram above his head erupted with unparalleled fierce energy, and the surrounding space began to tremble violently.
The dark tides around them began to dissipate, as if sensing immense danger.
Xia Qingying looked at the Yellow Springs Saint Slaying Diagram above Jiang Li's head, which continuously emitted terrifying energy, and felt a world-destroying aura herself.
"Since you want to see so badly, I'll show you then!" Jiang Li said indifferently, a trace of madness flashing in his eyes.
Lord Heimu watched the scene before him with a cold expression, unmoved.
All the power within Jiang Li surged into the Yellow Springs Saint Slaying Diagram, which seemed on the verge of exploding.
Junior Brother Jiang Li intends to self-detonate a Supreme Spirit Treasure!!!
Xia Qingying was shocked, clearly seeing Jiang Li's intention.
If the Supreme Spirit Treasure detonated, there might actually be a slim chance of escape.
Xia Qingying also felt a sense of admiration for Jiang Li's decisiveness.
"Alright, I'm done playing with you. It wouldn't be good if something were to happen," Lord Heimu said, a flicker of apprehension in his eyes.
With that, Lord Heimu waved his right hand, and a dazzling stream of light appeared, soaring towards the Yellow Springs Saint Slaying Diagram above Jiang Li's head.
"Boom!!!"
With a violent burst of light, the Yellow Springs Saint Slaying Diagram above Jiang Li seemed to be frozen, unable to exert any further power.
Both Jiang Li and Xia Qingying's hearts sank.
This guy was too strong. With a mere wave of his hand, he had nullified Jiang Li's self-detonation attack.
"Your courage is commendable, but it ends here. Now, let's go!" Lord Heimu smiled slightly and then launched several incredibly powerful streams of spiritual light.
These spiritual lights, like small snakes, shot rapidly towards the two of them.
"Bang!!!"
Before the spiritual light snakes could reach them, they were shattered by a sudden burst of spiritual light.
"Who dares to ruin my good deed!!!" Lord Heimu roared, his voice filled with anger.
He was so close to finishing them off.
Jiang Li let out a sigh of relief. Although he had Phoenix Nirvana, it was still better to not die if possible.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
As the space fluctuated, an old man dressed in a green Daoist robe appeared before Jiang Li and Xia Qingying.
Name: Lin Yuan
Realm: Quasi-Emperor Realm Seventh Level
Bloodline: Blood Spirit King Body
Destiny: Quasi-Emperor Potential (Purple), Overlord (Purple), Astonishing Fortune (Purple).
Life Script: Supporting character in "Chaos Emperor," Grand Elder of the Shimo Sect.
Affection: 40
Recent Turning Point: None.
"Elder Lin, you've arrived!" Xia Qingying looked at the suddenly appearing old man with joy.
"Girl Xia, Saint Son Jiang, I hope my arrival is timely!" Lin Yuan stroked his white beard and smiled.
Jiang Li took a deep breath. It was indeed very timely.
However, Jiang Li suspected that this old man might have been watching from not far away, waiting for this very moment...
'This is truly timely, Elder Lin. If you had been any later, you would have been collecting our corpses!' Xia Qingying said softly.
"Heh, it seems your Shimo Sect truly values these two precious gems. Sending a Grand Elder at this time..." Lord Heimu said coldly from not far away.
From the entrance to the Sky Abyss in the distance, a continuous stream of blood-red energy poured out.
Occasionally, some dark race warriors would emerge, but they were quickly crushed by Lin Yuan's terrifying aura.
"Heimu, though I am an old man, if you wish to spar a few rounds, I am still willing to accompany you!" Lin Yuan said smilingly to Lord Heimu.
As Lin Yuan spoke, his eyes fixed intently on Lord Heimu.
Jiang Li and Xia Qingying stood behind Lin Yuan, making no moves.
Clearly, this was not a situation they could intervene in.
"No need. I have no interest in playing with you old fogey. Besides, now that the Sky Abyss channel has opened, fighting or not is all the same!" Lord Heimu shrugged.
Although their Sect Leader had issued orders for him to deal with the escaping humans, Lord Heimu would not casually fight with a Grand Elder of the Shimo Sect.
Their grand undertaking was finally about to commence; any problems here would be a colossal loss.
With that, Lord Heimu transformed into a black mist and left the area.
Lin Yuan did not stop him, merely watching him leave quietly, as if he had anticipated this outcome.
With Lord Heimu's departure, only Jiang Li and a few others remained in the area.
"Elder Lin, now that the Sky Abyss channel has opened and the dark races are fully invading the Desolate Ancient Continent, what should we do?" Xia Qingying asked.
