Chapter 1076

Li Mengtu spoke word by word, very seriously.

His expression was also solemn, as if these two sentences were very important to him.

This was a struggle for the Dao, not asking about grudges, not discussing life and death.

A cultivator's life is actually exactly like this: when at a low stage, it is for survival; when at a mid-stage, it is to be stronger; and when at the current high-stage level, the Dao is the core.

His Dao cannot be stained with dust.

"Li Mengtu, a disciple of the Dao Immortal Sect, under the Vast Immortal Monarch."

"I disdain schemes, and I disdain even more borrowing the power of my family and master's sect; today, I will attack alone and go all out, swearing to slay you to fulfill my Dao!"

Li Mengtu spoke in a deep voice.

At this moment, he stood in mid-air, his black robe fluttering in the wind, his long hair drifting along with it, his gaze bright as he looked toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was silent.

He had seen many people in his life, of all shapes and sizes; while there weren't many like this Li Mengtu in front of him, there were some.

Like Yan Yan Xuanzi, who was essentially the same as this Li Mengtu.

At the same time, he also saw the inevitable struggle for the Dao in the opponent's eyes, so he slowly transmitted his words.

"Xu Qing."

Li Mengtu nodded, saying no more and asking no further questions, the intent of slaughter in his eyes surging instantly, his right hand raised abruptly to point toward the firmament, and he whispered in a low voice.

"Thunder!"

The next instant, a deafening sound came from the firmament, and the sea of thunder that had dissipated under the fluctuations of the two's techniques now reappeared with a vastness exceeding ten or a hundred times before.

The roaring sound echoed in all eight directions, and silver streaks swept across the firmament, with a range of a million miles in an instant, then ten million miles, and then spreading again.

As if endless.

And the lightning bolts formed within this range gathered into thunderballs, shrouding the entire sky.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder rolled, the heavens and earth changed color, like the wrath of the firmament, like the roar of the Great Dao.

The sea of thunder descended again.

And it was not just the sky; at this moment, thunder also rose from the earth, and thunder tore through the void, with all things in this instant producing lightning.

After gathering together, it made the range of tens of millions of miles appear as a vortex of thunder, with the sound even more astonishing, like a heavenly tribulation in the world!

The momentum was peerless, shocking the world.

This was exactly Li Mengtu's second authority, Thunder!

Thunder governs slaughter!

At this moment, amidst the roaring, Li Mengtu, with the sky-filling thunder as his background, was like the Thunder Master of this heaven and earth, his body also producing lightning, connecting with the sea of thunder, and he pointed toward Xu Qing.

Immediately, the sea of thunder roared, churning and sweeping across the universe, heading straight for Xu Qing.

Facing such might of authority, Xu Qing's pupils shrank.

He had seen quite a few Sovereigns, but he had never encountered anyone like this Li Mengtu in front of him who possessed such vast momentum.

"Worthy of being a Star!"

Xu Qing was grave, but there was not the slightest intent to retreat in his heart; the opponent had already said this was a struggle for the Dao...

"Then, let us continue to struggle!"

Xu Qing's eyes shone with sharp light; his life, from the moment he disappeared from Shi Wushuang City, had been a path of struggle!

Struggling for life, struggling for fate, and even more struggling for the Dao of heaven and earth.

Thus, his right pupil blurred, replaced by Dao marks!

The Dao mark of Erasure erupted from his right eye; wherever he looked, all things were erased!

The earth blurred, the sky twisted, the void rippled, and the whistling sea of thunder was directly affected!

However, the authority of Thunder was ultimately extreme in slaughter, so even the existence of the Erasure Dao mark could not make it vanish completely.

Amidst this churning, it shone with dazzling light, emitting terrifying lethality.

Xu Qing's right-eye Dao mark dissipated instantly, his pupils stinging, and fresh blood flowed from within.

Although this was the case, the power of the Erasure authority ultimately caused the surging sea of thunder to show ripples.

At this moment, its momentum was weakened, and although it still headed straight for Xu Qing, at the critical moment, a heaven-soaring sword intent rose sharply within Xu Qing's body.

That was the Emperor Sword.

The Emperor Sword flew out from his crown, and Xu Qing took a step forward, raising his right hand to grab it directly.

This head was like a snake's, covered in scales, pitch black, dripping with mucus, with eyes like red flames, filled with malice.

And Xu Qing, holding the Emperor Sword, slashed abruptly toward the front.

The blurred earth emitted a sound like a roar, and infinite Earth Qi rose, gathering within this sword strike of Xu Qing's.

Transforming into the Sword of the Earth!

Earth-Hidden Style!

One sword, slashing the sea of thunder.

The power of the earth that was whipped up was also like a sea, roaring with the sea of thunder.

A violent fluctuation erupted the moment the two sides touched.

Among them, a large number of thunderballs pierced through the sword energy, appearing in front of Xu Qing, approaching rapidly, and exploding one by one, forming lethality.

Xu Qing's hands formed seals, constantly resolving them, retreating amidst a series of roars.

On the other side, sword energy also pierced through the sea of thunder, appearing in front of Li Mengtu, and as it whistled over, all the mirrors outside Li Mengtu's body shone.

While resolving them, he was also forming seals to resist the sword might, and in the process, his body also retreated.

Looking from afar, this scene appeared evenly matched.

In the middle, the Earth Sea and the Thunder Sea confronted each other, while the two people behind the two seas were both retreating.

But Li Mengtu, with the cultivation base of an early-stage Sovereign and as a Star born into the Li family and a disciple of the Poison Monarch, had means that surpassed too many Sovereigns, so amidst this retreat, his eyes suddenly shone with silver light.

As if transforming into heavenly might, he transmitted his words.

"Ask your soul, who is your master?"

"Ask your spirit, where do you come from?"

"Ask your body, do you have hidden injuries?"

"Ask your heart, how many trump cards do you have!"

This was exactly his third authority, Binding Order's Truth-Telling!

This authority could ask Heaven, ask Earth, ask the Dao, ask all things in the world, and ask any question.

This authority was like might, possessing the ability to deter, like a gavel!

Under his questioning, all must tell the truth.

If one refused, one would be punished by the Dao.

And whether one replied or not, one would fall into a state of stiffness at this moment; this stiffness... included the body, included the soul, and included the will.

As the Binding Order fell, Xu Qing's body trembled.

It was as if a terrifying deterrent force had landed on his body, making his body stiff, landing on his soul, making his soul lose its spirit, and landing in his memories, causing ripples of the past.

Almost the moment Xu Qing's body and soul were affected, Li Mengtu's eyes flashed with cold light, and while retreating, his hands formed seals at high speed.

He didn't really want to ask Xu Qing these questions.

He didn't care what the answers were.

No matter where the person in front of him came from, who his master was, whether he had hidden injuries, or what trump cards existed, he didn't care; what he wanted was the stiffness force that appeared along with his authority's Binding Order.

Thereby creating a chance for a fatal blow for himself!

Now, this chance appeared.

So he didn't hesitate at all and directly unfolded the trump card he had inherited from his master!

"Sky-Filling Aurora, Like an Immortal Flood!"

His masters were numerous: Daodezi, Vast Immortal Monarch, Immortal Flood Elder, and Poison Monarch.

These names didn't come from thin air; accurately speaking, each name represented a divine ability from the Poison Monarch.

Among them, the title of Immortal Flood Elder represented the divine ability that Li Mengtu was now displaying.

At this moment, following Li Mengtu's seal-forming and his words, the firmament shook.

The crimson aurora flowing on the firmament, higher than the sea of thunder and permeating the infinite range of the Fifth Star Ring... was actually affected.

It couldn't be all of it, but for the Fifth Star Ring, the aurora was supreme, and to be able to affect a certain amount of it required astonishing means.

At this moment, the aurora rippled!

A range of a hundred miles!

Then it separated.

The range was the same.

A hundred miles of aurora, at this moment, seemed to be controlled, as if cut, as if broken... actually falling from the sky.

Carrying infinite weight and the pressure that shocked the heart, it descended directly.

Like a flood, like a waterfall, like a sea falling from the sky.

The crimson light fell instantly, and wherever it passed, the sea of thunder collapsed and the sword intent crumbled.

With just one strike, Xu Qing's blood surged, his entire body roared, and he spurted out a large mouthful of fresh blood, his body falling toward the earth under this great force.

His injuries were not light.

Although this was the case, these injuries also caused the stiffness of his body and soul that had been affected by the Binding Order to recover.

And looking at what was in front of him, the aurora of the firmament within a hundred miles was being drawn down, suppressing toward him, with crimson everywhere, like a sea of blood.

And Li Mengtu was now a hundred miles away, not approaching; clearly, even for him, this divine ability of drawing the aurora was something to be wary of.

Although this was the case, for Xu Qing, the life-and-death crisis had also erupted fully.

At the critical moment, Xu Qing didn't hesitate in the slightest, and the Five Elements authority within his body erupted with full force at this instant.

One year of recuperation and exploration, as well as the gains from his enlightenment in various places during this period, were all displayed in this fleeting moment.

First, the Wood element surged, forming countless plants that appeared out of thin air, blocking the sky and sun, as if turning this place into a Wood World to block the aurora.

The Wood World crumbled instantly, and when the aurora fell again, Xu Qing's hands formed seals; immediately, all the collapsed Wood element was used to generate Fire, making the flames sky-high to block it again.

Then, the Fire was reinforced, and after resisting to a certain degree, Xu Qing's mind moved again, and immediately all the Fire element generated Earth at the limit, forming an Earth World to block the heavenly light again.

The Earth element erupted, but it didn't last long and was difficult to block, so it all transformed into Metal at its peak.

The Metal force surged, as if wanting to break the sky.

However, the aurora was astonishing, causing the sky-breaking to fail.

Thus, after the Metal reached its limit, it generated Water with full force.

Making the Water element force reach an unprecedented level, forming a vast ocean around him, with a range of ten million miles, becoming a great sea that mortals could not imagine.

As the seawater surged and rippled, the water surface reflected the firmament!

And the firmament had the falling crimson aurora, so what the water surface reflected was exactly the aurora.

Using this to block it.

Finally, when the great sea weakened, it generated the Wood element again.

In this way, the Five Elements generated each other, forming a cycle, finally causing the falling aurora to be blocked layer by layer, unable to continue falling.

At the same time, Xu Qing's eyes held intense killing intent; he raised his hand to take out the remaining Life-Taking Burning Incense, branded it onto Li Mengtu, lit it, added the power of Time, and blew on it with his mouth.

Immediately, the burning incense burned rapidly, and in an instant, it was exhausted.

And on Li Mengtu's side, his complexion changed, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, his body couldn't help but retreat, and his heart was gloomy.

Immediately following, Xu Qing seized the opportunity, his body rushed forward abruptly, his space energy erupted, his speed was terrifying, and he headed straight for Li Mengtu.

At the same time, within his left pupil, the Immortal Technique Dao mark operated.

The power of the Six Thieves' Delusion was formed directly.

The method of the Five Dogs Abandoning Immortality also erupted along with it.

Then it was the Golden Crow rushing out to reinforce Xu Qing, while the Shadow also pounced to assist Xu Qing.

And these were not enough.

Xu Qing didn't hesitate in the slightest and took out the last sword energy remaining from the Ninth Grandfather.

Attacking Li Mengtu!

Li Mengtu's expression was incomparably grave, and his body retreated rapidly.
