Chapter 1075

Several days passed in a flash.

On the sky of the Western Region, Xu Qing turned into a remnant shadow, moving forward.

His current position was still one maximum range of an ancient teleportation array away from the God Blood River, and the nearest ancient teleportation array location...

"At my current speed, it will take at least two days!"

Xu Qing murmured inwardly, restraining all his aura, including hiding the petal mark between his brows, while simultaneously deploying secret techniques and heading straight for the direction of the ancient teleportation array.

Time passed bit by bit.

The sense of crisis grew increasingly intense.

This life-and-death crisis from the netherworld made Xu Qing even more certain of his previous judgment.

Because as a disciple of the Lower Immortal and as a Star, not having the qualification to participate in the enlightenment was an unreasonable matter.

Therefore, Xu Qing judged that the person who went to achieve enlightenment just like him was, in all likelihood, the only Star in this Western Region, Li Mengtu.

"Although the information about the opponent describes him as possessing the combat power of a mid-stage Sovereign, on one hand, map information has the possibility of being outdated, and on the other hand, there is also the possibility of hidden combat power."

Xu Qing analyzed rapidly in his heart, his speed undiminished as he moved across the sky.

A day and a half later.

The aurora in the sky had long since returned to normal, with crimson light spreading endlessly like flowing water. Beneath the aurora, Xu Qing, who was whistling forward, suddenly grew solemn, turned his head abruptly, and gazed into the distance.

Although his quasi-Immortal Capital token was hidden, it only made it so that those with tokens of lesser range could not sense him; for those whose token range already exceeded his, it could not be hidden.

And at this moment, at the edge of his token's sensing range of ten million miles, a brilliant light point appeared abruptly.

The speed of this light point was astonishing; one moment it was ten million miles away from him, and the next instant it had shortened by half.

In the blink of an eye, the horizon Xu Qing was gazing at suddenly revealed endless thunder, and countless lightning bolts, numbering fully a million, erupted there suddenly, tearing through everything and whistling toward him.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder rolled, with silver snakes dancing wildly.

In a flash, it swept across the sky, shrouding all directions under the thunder.

Making this ten-million-mile range feel like the end of the world, with the sky collapsing in an instant and the earth shaking from the thunder, while a terrifying aura filled everything.

Immediately afterward, from that terrifying sea of thunder, a person walked out.

This person wore a black robe, had black hair, and was a young man.

His eyes were like stars, his appearance handsome, but he gave off a sense of evil, especially within his eyes, where lightning flashed and his momentum was magnificent.

Between his brows, there were, shockingly, six and a half petals, currently rotating.

It was indeed Li Mengtu.

The moment he walked out, it was as if he had replaced the sun and moon, appearing to have become the master of this heaven and earth.

Every step he took caused Xu Qing's mind to tremble.

Accompanied by an intense sense of oppression, like a storm sweeping across, it lifted Xu Qing's long hair and caused his clothes to flap wildly.

And without any words, almost the moment he appeared, the instant he saw Xu Qing, a heaven-shaking might erupted directly from Li Mengtu.

This might was a manifestation of Dao marks and the aura of authority.

It surpassed the authority of all Sovereigns Xu Qing had seen before; if the authority of others were compared to starlight, then the Dao might from Li Mengtu at this moment was the radiance of the bright moon.

Now erupting, it formed a huge mark in front of Li Mengtu.

This mark emitted an extremely dense aura of death.

The moment it formed, a cold word was transmitted from Li Mengtu's mouth.

"Perish!"

As soon as this word emerged, the wind rose and clouds surged, the heavens and earth changed color, and the entire world surged with astonishing death energy at this moment, with ghosts and demons manifesting as if forming a ghostly Yellow Springs.

The sound of wailing echoed even more shrilly.

And a terrifying and irresistible sense of death also erupted directly on Xu Qing at this instant.

As if locked on by an invisible force, it was impossible to resist and impossible to dodge.

It was as if this word, and this authority, had become inevitable, had become a rule, had become the Heavenly Dao, and had become everything.

This was precisely one of Li Mengtu's four great authorities.

Death Curse!

The moment he attacked, it was authority, it was a trump card!

One could see Li Mengtu's killing intent and decisiveness; the greater reason for this was that he had previously used another of his own authorities, the Binding Order True-Telling Method, to probe Xu Qing's information.

He knew that the enemy he was about to face could not be underestimated in the slightest.

Therefore, he would either not attack, but once he did, he would strive for a one-hit kill, not giving the opponent a chance to display their means!

Therefore, although he did not see petals between Xu Qing's brows and was not sure if the person in front of him was the one he was looking for, he knew that according to the information about the opponent, there was a high probability that he had the ability to hide the mark.

Thus, along this journey, as long as it was a token holder within his range, he would use his trump card upon meeting them.

If they all died, so be it.

If they were truly annihilated, the inheritance could naturally return.

But if someone encountered along the way could successfully resist his trump card, then that person was in all likelihood... the one he was looking for!

Better to kill the wrong person than to let one go.

At this moment, it was no exception.

Xu Qing's expression changed drastically, his mind roared instantly, and under this authority that could not be dodged or resisted, his body withered in an instant, and his entire life was visibly fading, his aura disappearing.

As if cursed, he became a part of death, causing the collapse of fate.

And this authority of the opponent was extremely bizarre; Xu Qing's numerous means actually all failed.

And the sense of death also surged throughout his body at this moment.

If this scene had happened to anyone else, they would have been unable to escape the death tribulation; after all, the person who came was... Li Mengtu.

But although most of Xu Qing's means failed, the... Time Method could naturally be reversed.

Thus, in an instant, behind him, the Life Dial manifested, and the aura of time fluctuated in all directions, distorting everything.

As the needle on the Life Dial reversed, the time on his body flowed backward.

The intent of death, in the face of time, also had to give way.

In the blink of an eye, the withering of Xu Qing's body, the fading of his soul, and the decline of his aura changed suddenly, returning to several breaths ago!

After resolving the death tribulation with this method, Xu Qing's body retreated abruptly, his cultivation operated, his authority erupted, and his expression was solemn as never before.

This was the first time he had encountered someone who used a trump card the moment they met.

And this behavior of the opponent also exposed a possibility.

"Such a level of trump card cannot be used without damage to oneself!"

"Therefore, either this is his habit, or... this person has some method to probe my information, so he does not want to give me any possibility of counterattack, thus he uses his trump card upon attacking, sparing no cost to achieve a one-hit kill!"

These thoughts emerged in Xu Qing's heart in an instant, without affecting his counterattack at this moment.

Almost the moment the Life Dial reversed time, Xu Qing's counterattack also arose abruptly.

And likewise, there was no probing, no step-by-step layout.

The moment he attacked, it was a trump card!

The heavens and earth roared, the wind whistled, and while even the sea of thunder was shaken, the Five Elements on Xu Qing's body erupted, forming five heaven-shaking auras that permeated the world.

There was even time and space arising accordingly.

In the blink of an eye, Metal became the God Seal, Earth became the Dao Platform, Wood became the Blade Slot, Water became the Blood Mark, Fire refined everything, Time became the Axis, and Space became the Blade!

It was precisely the Seven-Pole God-Slaying Platform that Xu Qing had formed after coming to the Western Region, deducing it from the Five Elements God-Slaying Platform and integrating time and space.

Looking around, the void in all directions, the entire range, was replaced by that huge God-Slaying Platform.

The heavens and earth shone, and the world trembled.

The God-Slaying Blade fell, slashing toward Li Mengtu!

And Li Mengtu at this moment had a face that was slightly paler.

His authorities were each extraordinary; although sharp, astonishing, and bizarre, it was precisely because of this that when displayed, he himself had to bear a certain degree of backlash.

But now, seeing the person in front of him actually reverse it with the Time Method and display astonishing divine abilities, he narrowed his eyes, his pupils shrinking slightly, emitting a cold and icy light.

"It is you!"

While speaking, facing the vast slashing blade that appeared in front of him and permeated the heavens and earth, Li Mengtu felt the pressure of this divine ability and instantly saw through its mystery.

But his eyes flashed, and he actually did not dodge, but instead raised his right hand, formed a seal in front of his chest, and whispered in his mouth.

"Flower in the Mirror!"

As soon as these three words emerged, a bizarre scene descended abruptly.

Huge black mirrors appeared, shockingly, all around him, shrouding his entire body within.

These mirrors looked extremely ancient, and each one emitted a terrifying aura, permeated with astonishing curses, as if refined from small worlds, and also as if they were the convergence of Li Mengtu's techniques.

After surrounding him at this moment, the mirror surfaces instantly reflected Xu Qing's figure within.

And the falling God-Slaying Blade appeared to slash toward Li Mengtu, but... Xu Qing's heart sank.

A life-and-death crisis actually surged intensely in his heart.

At the critical moment, Xu Qing's eyes revealed ruthlessness; he did not choose to put away the power of the God-Slaying Platform, but instead reinforced it, making its power even greater.

At the same time, his left hand formed a seal and pressed downward, and immediately water ripples appeared under his feet, spreading in all directions.

The heavens and earth could be seen as a well.

In the next instant, the God-Slaying Blade fell, slashing onto the mirror outside Li Mengtu's body, but the eruption of damage landed on Xu Qing instead.

Amidst the roar, the method of scooping the moon from the well was formed simultaneously.

What was scooped was both Li Mengtu and Xu Qing himself.

Scooping out the former was to make his soul leave the mirror and suffer blade damage.

Scooping out himself was to avoid the God-Slaying and jump out of the well!

In an instant, the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked, the void collapsed, and the sea of thunder rolled backward.

The mirror outside Li Mengtu's body was still there, but his soul was floating outside, and the God-Slaying blade caused his soul to emit a shrill sound, erupting with self-preservation means.

Although he was not completely slain and his soul rolled backward, he was also injured.

And Xu Qing here also had his body tremble; the God-Slaying blade grazed the surface of the well, and he was also affected.

At this moment, blood sprayed, he retreated, his expression gloomy as he looked toward Li Mengtu.

This battle had just begun, and it was already this intense.

This matter caused Xu Qing's fighting spirit to surge as well; he simply stopped hiding the petals between his brows, wiped his hand, and instantly the five and a half petals between his brows appeared abruptly.

And on Li Mengtu's side, at this moment, his soul returned to his body, and he was also retreating, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth one mouthful after another, while the mirrors outside his body circled, reflecting not Xu Qing, but Li Mengtu's own figure.

Subsequently, all these figures raised their heads, just like the original body, with killing intent in their eyes and cold expressions as they looked at Xu Qing.

Especially staring at the petals between Xu Qing's brows.

"You indeed have the qualification to contend with me for the Dao!"

"And in the contention for the Great Dao, there is no connection to grievances; today I kill you, you should have no resentment, and if you kill me, I will have no hatred."
