Chapter 128: I Finally Found You
“What!”
Those familiar words and names deeply stimulated Gongsun Li’s heart.
“Daoist Xuantian’s disciple?”
Gongsun Li stared coldly at the young man in front of him. He never would have thought that Ye Qiu was Daoist Xuantian’s disciple.
Gongsun Li was at a loss as he felt the astonishing pressure from Ye Qiu. This pressure was even more terrifying than the feeling Daoist Xuantian gave him back then. He could not figure it out. It was fine if he was suppressed by Daoist Xuantian back then. After his death, he thought that he was invincible in the world. Who would have thought that he would have a disciple? Judging from his aura, his disciple was not much weaker than him.
!!
Gongsun Li gradually lost control of his suppressed emotions. He struggled and slowly rose into the air. In the unseen world, it seemed that heaven’s will had already existed. Daoist Xuantian was his destined nemesis. Even if he died, his disciple would be able to suppress him.
He refused to accept this and slowly pushed all the strength in his body. In an instant, a shocking bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.
“This is a heaven-grade secret technique?”
Everyone was shocked. They looked up at the sky. Amidst the lightning and thunder, Gongsun Li seemed to have become a different person.
“What a shocking aura. Is this the true strength of a peerless Paragon?”
Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at the Heavenly Abyss. Gongsun Li pushed out his hands amidst the ten thousand feet of lightning. In an instant, 10,000 lightning flickered down and formed a formation in the sky.
“I don’t care whose disciple you are today. If you dare to take a step into my Immortal Mountain, I will kill you without mercy…”
Under the lightning, Gongsun Li gradually entered a good state. A terrifying aura instantly erupted, and for a moment, everyone was forced back.
Ye Qiu stood alone in the Heavenly Abyss and gently stepped on the Immortal Slayer Sword. He jumped up and rushed straight into the endless domain like a cannonball.
“I want to see what you have!”
In the blink of an eye, Ye Qiu had already charged into the lightning formation. He pushed out with one hand and instantly used the Infinite Universe Palm, sending out a palm strike. In an instant, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky and headed straight for Ye Qiu.
Facing such shocking lightning, Ye Qiu didn’t retreat at all.
Boom…
Two figures floated in the void under the rolling dark clouds with a shocking bang.
Standing in the Heavenly Abyss, Ye Qiu slowly raised his right hand and muttered to himself as he looked at the lightning flowing between his fingers. “Lightning domain? Hmm… This invasive power is indeed powerful.”
What Gongsun Li used was the Immortal Mountain’s ancient secret technique, Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Attraction. Once this technique was activated, it could form a lightning domain around the surroundings.
Once one entered the domain, they would be attacked by thousands of lightning bolts, and the power of the lightning was extremely shocking.
In the domain, Gongsun Li’s speed and strength would be greatly increased.
Ye Qiu could feel that his aura and movements had become erratic. It was very mysterious.
“Kid! You have guts to even dare to enter my lightning domain…” In the void, Gongsun Li sneered, as if he could already see Ye Qiu’s death.
This kid had some strength. Unfortunately, he was too conceited and complacent. There was only one outcome for such a person, and that was death.
“In here, I’m invincible. Today… even a Zenith Heaven immortal can’t save you.” With a cold snort, Gongsun Li instantly struck out with his palm. He was very fast.
In his domain, he arrived in front of Ye Qiu almost instantly.
However, in comparison to speed, Ye Qiu didn’t seem to fear anyone.
“Hehe, old man, you seem to be very confident in your speed.” Ye Qiu smiled playfully. Just as Gongsun Li was about to hit him, he suddenly disappeared.
A faint light seemed to appear, as if the Kun Peng had spread its wings. In an instant, Ye Qiu was already outside the domain.
“How… how is this possible?” Gongsun Li was shocked and looked at Ye Qiu in disbelief. He could actually come and go freely in his own domain? Furthermore, he wasn’t suppressed at all. His movements were so fast that even he couldn’t catch up?
Gongsun Li was stunned and questioned, “How did you come and go freely in my domain?”
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “What’s so difficult about that?”
“What do you mean?”
Everyone was a little stunned. They suddenly realized that Ye Qiu had entered the lightning domain again.
“Yes, see, I came in again…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Li instantly attacked with a palm. Suddenly, Ye Qiu disappeared again. When he saw him again, he appeared outside the domain.
“Haha, I’m out again. You will never hit me…” Ye Qiu smiled provocatively.
Gongsun Li’s face darkened. d.a.m.n, are you walking your dog?
It wasn’t over yet. Ye Qiu flashed again, and a Kun Peng spread its wings behind him. “I came in again…” Before Gongsun Lie could react, he had disappeared again. “I’m out again…”
“What can you do to me?” After toying with Gongsun Li, Ye Qiu said playfully. I don’t have any special thoughts. I’m just playing…
Every time he entered, Gongsun Li would react. Just as he was about to capture Ye Qiu, he would disappear again. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop Ye Qiu. He could only let him come and go freely in his domain.
“d.a.m.n it!” For a moment, Gongsun Li was furious. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life of cultivation. Furthermore, it was a humiliation from a junior. What he could not accept the most was that this person was the disciple of his sworn enemy.
Gongsun Li was furious. He couldn’t do anything to Ye Qiu and didn’t know how to restrain him. After pondering for a moment, Gongsun Li suddenly laughed loudly. “Haha… Ridiculous, ridiculous.”
“What are you laughing at?” Ye Qiu frowned. Did this old man go crazy from being provoked? Why did he suddenly laugh?
“I’m laughing at the people of Violet Cloud Peak. You’re as timid as a mouse. You only know how to cover your head and scurry away like a rat. You run whenever you meet an enemy. Your master was like this back then, and you are still like this now…”
Gongsun Li provoked. He wanted to anger Ye Qiu and let him enter his domain to fight him. However, what made him speechless was that Ye Qiu didn’t react at all.
Instead, he thought about it seriously and said thoughtfully, “What did you say? Weren’t you slapped to the ground by my master back then? When did you beat him away?”
“You…” Gongsun Li was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Which idiot had spread this f*cking rumor? This was a lie he had deliberately made up to anger Ye Qiu. Unexpectedly, he was seen through at a glance and revealed his embarra.s.sing deeds back then.
“d.a.m.n it.” Gongsun Li cursed angrily. He stretched out his right hand and a spirit sword appeared in it.
A bolt of divine lightning slashed down from the sky.
“Quick, dodge!”
Below, everyone’s expressions changed when they saw this scene. This was the strike of a Paragon. If they were struck, they would definitely die.
At this critical moment, Ye Qiu attacked again. He slowly pushed out his palm and a Taiji Painting instantly appeared.
Boom…
With a shocking bang, the dust settled. Ye Qiu successfully resolved the heavenly lightning. He entered Gongsun Li’s domain again. This time… he did not go out. Instead, he stood firmly in the lightning and stared at Gongsun Li. He smiled playfully and said, “Old man, I’ll satisfy your last wish.
“Come on! Do it any way you like. As long as you can defeat me, all the disciples of the Immortal Mountain can live today.”
Gongsun Li’s eyes lit up. “Are you serious?”
Wasn’t he most afraid of the lives of those children? Otherwise, why would he fight to the death with the Heaven Mending Sect? In order to continue the inheritance of the Immortal Mountain, he was willing to give up everything, even his life.
The destruction of the Immortal Mountain was already destined with the current situation. Even if he risked his life, he would not be able to salvage the situation. Now that Ye Qiu gave him a chance, how could Gongsun Li let it go?
Ye Qiu smiled faintly and said, “I’ve always kept my word. The survival of the Immortal Mountain depends on whether you have the ability. If you defeat me, you can keep your inheritance. If you lose… then you can only perish.”
“Hmph, arrogant…” Gongsun Li sneered and instantly struck out with his palm. He didn’t know who gave Ye Qiu the confidence to be so arrogant.
Gongsun Li admitted that he was very strong, but not to the extent that even he could not do anything to him.
One had to know that he was a mid-stage Paragon realm expert. Ye Qiu was only an early-stage Paragon realm expert. Even if he had to fight to the death, he had to defeat Ye Qiu and protect this ancient inheritance.
With a palm strike, the power of a mid-stage Paragon instantly erupted.
Gongsun Li didn’t intend to hide anything. Facing an opponent like Ye Qiu, he could only win if he used his full strength.
The two of them exchanged a palm strike in the air. They each took a step back and caught their breath. Without any hesitation, they faced each other again.
In the lightning domain, Gongsun Li’s combat strength was indeed very strong. Not only was he fast and powerful, but he could also use the power of the heavenly lightning to continuously hara.s.s Ye Qiu.
That earth-shattering battle shocked everyone below. They held their breath and did not dare to blink, afraid that they would miss any exciting details of the battle.
“Phew… Too strong! This is a battle between peerless Paragons. It’s dazzling.”
“I didn’t expect that Martial Uncle Ye’s strength had unknowingly surpa.s.sed the Sect Master.”
“If this continues, Martial Uncle Ye will become the number one person in our Heaven Mending Sect.”
Everyone discussed. Even Meng Tianzheng praised, “I didn’t expect Junior Brother Ye to grow to such a level in just ten years. As expected of the Natural Dao Body, as expected of the number one immortal body in history.
“Such astonishing talent. Perhaps it won’t be long before he can really break the legend that there have been no Martial Monarch experts in the Eastern Wasteland for ten thousand years.
“My Heaven Mending Sect… will prosper.”
Meng Tianzheng was happy from the bottom of his heart. He was already old and had lost the motivation to pursue the so-called Immortal Dao. The only thing that could make him worry was the Heaven Mending Sect’s inheritance.
A long time ago, he had been worried that one day, he would really be at the end of his rope. Was there anyone in the Heaven Mending Sect who could continue to carry this ancient inheritance and walk forward?
No one knew how much pressure he had been under all these years. For the harmony of his sect and the development of the Holy Land, he had sacrificed and done a lot.
At this moment, Qi Wuhui was also looking at the battle in the sky with a shocked expression. He had mixed feelings. Unexpectedly, the opponent that he once looked down on had now grown to an existence that he could only look up to. Feeling the exuberant vitality in his body and the thick power, perhaps… after this matter was over, he would be able to break through to the Legendary realm.
However, even if he broke through, he knew in his heart that he was no longer Ye Qiu’s match.
In the sky, the intense battle became increasingly uncontrollable.
After the two of them exchanged thousands of blows, Gongsun Li’s expression completely darkened. He finally realized a problem. In these thousands of rounds, Ye Qiu had always appeared very calm, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll. Not only was he not at a disadvantage in the face of his ferocious attacks, he even parried very easily.
He finally understood why Ye Qiu gave him that opportunity. Because based on the current battle situation, he had no chance of winning.
“No… I don’t believe that he’s really invincible.” For the sake of the orthodoxy and the inheritance, Gongsun Li had always comforted himself in his heart, refusing to believe that he would lose.
Boom…
With a shocking flash, the two of them separated again. In the lightning domain, Ye Qiu didn’t panic at all as he felt the judgment of the heavenly lightning.
The battle just now was just a warm-up. The show had yet to begin.
“Old man, is that all you’ve got? If that’s all, then… let’s stop here. The Immortal Mountain has been pa.s.sed down for so many years. It’s time for it to end.” Ye Qiu said calmly.
Ye Qiu pointed his right hand at the sky. Suddenly, a violent wind blew and a shocking sword intent instantly erupted.
At that moment, Gongsun Li’s face instantly turned pale. “No, that’s impossible… He didn’t use his full strength after fighting for so long?”
Looking at the wind dancing above his head, suddenly, a huge sword was slowly condensed.
Gongsun Li completely panicked. He felt like he was looking straight at death. He could feel that the sword intent condensed by the huge sword was extremely terrifying. It was impossible for him to block it.
“No! How can my Immortal Mountain be destroyed like this…” Gongsun Li shook his head fiercely, unwilling to accept this outcome. He calmed down, and his eyes suddenly became vicious.
Suddenly, a black aura filled the sky.
Ye Qiu frowned in disbelief. He looked at him and said, “Strange Origin?” He was stunned for a moment. Below the Immortal Mountain, a large amount of black aura surged out from an underground spring.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked.
“There are actually so much of the Strange Origin hidden in the Immortal Mountain’s orthodoxy?”
Lin Qingzhu slowly walked out from the crowd and coldly looked at the black aura that was constantly emitting. Her eyes were filled with killing intent. No one reacted more intensely than her when she saw this strange aura.
“So he was the culprit behind the beast riot?”
Lin Qingzhu’s eyes were cold. The enemy she had been searching for so long had always been by her side.
That was Immortal Mountain, this so-called ancient orthodoxy. Back then, Tianji Zi and the current Gongsun Li both possessed this power. Unlike Tianji Zi, Gongsun Li seemed to have already refined this power and did not suffer any backlash.
Zhao Wan’er also understood something when she saw Lin Qingzhu’s intense reaction.
“Senior Sister, don’t worry. Master will definitely kill him.” Zhao Wan’er didn’t know what to say other than comforting her.
Lin Qingzhu lost control of her emotions and thought of her parents’ tragic state before they died. Her eyes were filled with tears and hatred as she stared at Gongsun Li in the sky. Knowing that her strength was insufficient, Lin Qingzhu could only place her hopes on Ye Qiu. Her master had promised her that he would avenge her.
At this moment, Gongsun Li was completely enveloped by this black aura. His eyes were glowing red as he revealed a terrifying smile. “Haha, Ye Qiu! Have you ever thought that I still have a trick up my sleeve…”
The moment the black aura was sucked in, Gongsun Li’s strength instantly soared, and he reached the peak of the Paragon realm. It vaguely reached the threshold of the King-Ranked realm.
It had to be said that this strange aura was indeed terrifying. It was unknown where it came from.
Ye Qiu had once discovered its existence in the barrier crack in the uninhabited region, but he didn’t know its source. This power was very powerful. If one absorbed it, they could greatly increase their cultivation. The constant stimulation of one body’s strength made them manic.
It was a little similar. The Heaven Mending Sect’s forbidden techniques and Blood Drinking Technique could also increase one’s strength, but the price was burning one’s blood essence.
Ye Qiu stared coldly at Gongsun Li and recalled the beast riot a few months ago.
“Where did you obtain the Strange Origin? Were you also the one who caused the riot a few months ago?” Ye Qiu questioned.
“Haha, you’re right. I was the one who caused the riot a few months ago. I sacrificed my body to the darkness and drank millions of blood energy to refine my Strange Body in order to break through. If I don’t cause a great chaos, how can I sacrifice to the darkness and successfully master this strange power?”
Gongsun Li did not want to hide anything after his strength increased greatly. There was nothing he did not dare to admit. In any case, either Ye Qiu or he would die today.
Only the two of them knew about this, so there was nothing to worry about.
At this point, Gongsun Li’s face darkened and he said resentfully, “Back then, during the compet.i.tion on the path to immortality, I was originally a peerless genius that everyone paid attention to.
“Ever since I was born, I have been the center of attention. Among my peers, I have never tasted defeat. At the Grand Primordium Mine, I, who was the center of attention, had a chance of winning.
“However, I didn’t expect your master, Daoist Xuantian, to soar into the sky and defeat me with the might of a celestial. From then on, he suppressed me for hundreds of years, making me unable to raise my head.
“From then on, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t surpa.s.s him. I was depressed my entire life. People often talk about how stunning your master, Daoist Xuantian, is, but they never mention us failures.”
At this point, Gongsun Li’s eyes were a little lonely, and his heart ached. In that era, only Daoist Xuantian was shining alone, and they could only serve as foil.
