Chapter 1665: Monster
Chao Tianjiao merged with the blade and turned into a streak of silver light, circling over Li Qingshan’s head and making sharp turns in an extremely small range.
At that instant, Li Qingshan’s head became covered in snowy-white slashes. When it shattered apart and dispersed, it still had a face full of admiration.
Only when Li Qingshan’s head was completely destroyed did Chao Tianjiao let out a sigh of relief. Using the power of zhenwu to such an intensity placed her under quite a lot of pressure, but she understood exactly how troublesome Li Qingshan was, so she refused to leave him with any chances.
Now, we’ll have won this battle as long as Li Liehuo incinerates Li Qingshan’s body.
That was what she had in mind, but she noticed that there was something wrong with the situation.
Li Qingshan continued to stand in the pit, unscathed. His hands fumbled around his empty neck as if he was trying to stop the surging black blood, but also as if he just found it to be very intriguing.
Instead, Li Liehuo behind him had a face of shock as if he had encountered something unbelievable.
The power that erupted from the spear was enough to blow up a mountain and dry a lake, yet it had completely vanished now, like it had melted away.
“Hehehehe…”
ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ꜰʀᴇᴇwᴇʙɴoᴠᴇʟ. ᴄᴏᴍ
By now, Li Qingshan had already grasped the new ability of being able to let out a strange laugh without a tongue, just through the neck.
Suddenly, he ripped through his flesh and tore open his chest. There was a demon cavern in there.
All of the power from the spear had been directed into the demon cavern. No matter how mighty that attack was, how could Li Liehuo shake the entirety of the Demon domain?
A furious howl that could not be described in words rang out from the depths of the demon cavern as if it was an answer to the attack.
Boom!
An extremely tremendous and chaotic demon qi erupted from the demon cavern in Li Qingshan’s chest. It was even more forceful and violent than the aura from this clone of Li Qingshan, which made it seem like it was hiding a terrifying monster.
“What is that thing!?”
The howling slammed against Li Liehuo’s Origin Soul, giving him a sense of disgust. All of his powers became rowdy and restless, actually showing signs of losing control.
He immediately drew out his spear and retreated, except a b.l.o.o.d.y, sticky tendril had curled around the spear. The spear was instead dragged into the demon cavern.
How could he abandon his lifebound arcane treasure? The flames around him surged several dozen metres out, immediately incincerating the demon qi of the monster. All of his muscles bulged like they were about to explode as he did everything he could to pull his weapon back.
However, he sensed that the power behind pulling the spear had been completely twisted, being directed in all sorts of directions, conflicting and wearing down itself. However, at least the spear had stopped falling into the demon cavern.
Li Liehuo bellowed out and unleashed the flames in the spear, wanting to burn off the tendril.
With a hiss, the tendril was rapidly charred, giving off a foul, burned smell. However, before it was completely charred, a crack suddenly opened up at the tip of the tendril, revealing a yellow eyeball that stared straight at Li Liehuo.
At that moment, thousands of tendrils swarmed out from the narrow demon cavern, swallowing Li Liehuo.
The headless Li Qingshan continued to laugh away.
The other end of the demon cavern in his chest was connected to a certain region of Hundun’s dominion. The black water of the depths of the Tang valley flowed freely there, forming a boundless swamp.
After unifying the Demon domain, Hundun’s dominion was still the most dangerous and chaotic part of the Demon domain. Even regular Heretic G.o.ds refused to enter there without good reason.
Li Qingshan had casually drawn a lucky creature from there to deal with Li Liehuo and Chao Tianjiao.
He sighed slightly inside. He was very tempted to do what he did before, to face the three of them alone fairly and go for a satisfying battle against Li Liehuo and Chao Tianjiao, but unfortunately, he was no longer the Li Qingshan of the past.
When he launched a sneak attack on the Myriad sect, he had not summoned any Heretic G.o.ds to take part because he needed to hide his tracks and prevent the Desireless Heavenly Palace from noticing. Afterwards, he was suppressed by the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance with his connection to the outside world severed, so he could not open up a Demon domain. However, he no longer had those worries anymore. He could summon a group of Heretic G.o.ds to dish out a beating to Chao Tianjiao and Li Liehuo.
Of course, if a True Immortal suddenly showed up, the group of Heretic G.o.ds probably would not be leaving this place either.
Heretic G.o.ds were extremely precious resources. He did not want to waste them like this. Coincidentally, some of these Heretic G.o.ds in Hundun’s dominion were a little insane. Keeping them around in the Demon domain was not exactly a good idea either, so they were perfect to serve as cannon fodder.
“No more of this acting. I’m coming clean. I am the lord of the Demon domain. Though, this thing seems a little too powerful!’
Li Liehuo could already be regarded as powerful among Human Immortals. After being swallowed by the countless tendrils, he merged with his spear and rampaged about, but all of his attacks and techniques were twisted by the powers of chaos, completely unable to break free. He did not stand a chance. The ball of fire gradually faded. It was only a matter of time before he was completely digested.
All while the majority of the tentacle monster’s body was still inside the Demon cavern!
Chao Tianjiao did not rush down immediately to save Li Liehuo, instead choosing to observe the monster that Li Qingshan had summoned carefully first—it brought her so much disgust that even the powers of zhenwu could not suppress it.
After becoming a divine general of the Desireless Heavenly Palace, she had gained an even deeper understanding of the Demon domain, so she recognised the origins of the monster very soon.
“A Heretic G.o.d of Hundun!?”
She had confirmed one thing. Li Qingshan has indeed become the lord of the Demon domain!
The Demon domain had twelve Demon G.o.ds. The strongest and most special one was Demon G.o.d Hundun. Once contaminated with the powers of chaos, even Heretic G.o.ds would go insane or even directly perish. However, any that managed to survive would become extremely powerful and frightening.
In the expansive battle records of the Desireless Heavenly Palace, the appearance of a Heretic G.o.d of Hundun would definitely lead to tremendous casualties. The heavenly palace would even lose several divine generals, while Human Immortals were not their opponent at all. Any cultivators below Human Immortal would suffer from cultivation deviation from the sight of one alone.
The only good news was even Demon G.o.ds could not enlist Heretic G.o.ds of Hundun freely. These monsters had no sense of rationality whatsoever. They would only wander Hundun’s dominion aimlessly and attack everything that was alive indiscriminately. Apart from Demon G.o.d Hundun, they possessed no faith towards the other Demon G.o.ds either. The powers of chaos would twist all teleporting techniques too, so even Demon G.o.ds were unable to use them as exhaustibles.
However, the Heretic G.o.ds of Hundun recovered by the Desireless Heavenly Palace were not all truly Heretic G.o.ds of Hundun. The Demon domain had some Heretic G.o.ds that proactively meddled with the powers of chaos in hopes of conforming to the demonic heavens for greater power, leaving them half-mad. Some of them would lose control of their powers during battle and go completely insane.
However, Li Qingshan could easily summon a Heretic G.o.d of Hundun. This required cooperation from the entire Demon domain.
A monster like that probably isn’t something we can deal with! And just how many more of these monsters can Li Qingshan summon? Chao Tianjiao made a judgment calmly. She no longer held any hopes in defeating Li Qingshan, preparing to retreat. She could only mutter inside, Sorry about this, first senior brother!
At this moment, Li Qingshan let out a sigh of relief. Under the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance’s increased efforts, he had already obtained the entirety of the Myriad Heavenly Tome. He had achieved his objective. After summoning the Heretic G.o.d of Hundun, even the old turtle became particularly obedient, sitting still without budging at all like he was actually an island.
Li Qingshan was just about to talk to Li Liehuo about the matter of submitting again when he suddenly sensed something and raised his head—if he had a head.
A streak of azure light descended from above, severing the thousands of tendrils.
“Little bro, please spare this disciple of mine.”
