Chapter 1585: The Mystery of the Black Qi

But it was only between this finger and thumb that he discovered the difference.

Those wisps of black qi that Luo Tian had shattered seemed, at this moment, to have suffered some massive impact; they were constantly attempting to restore themselves, yet they were just as constantly collapsing.

They simply could not recover smoothly.

Seeing this scene, the old man was thoroughly shocked.

He turned his head, looked at Luo Tian, and said, "You... how did you do that?"

He knew deeply how powerful this black qi was.

In fact, in terms of combat power, this black qi was not necessarily much stronger than a human Immortal King.

The truly terrifying thing about these guys was their immortal body!

An opponent that could not be killed was basically a nightmare.

On the other side, Luo Tian stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the struggling black qi, his brow also furrowed.

"This feeling of an immortal body is somewhat like the Great Dao of Life and Death..." Luo Tian muttered.

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but look at Luo Tian in surprise and said, "You actually know about the Great Dao of Life and Death? Not bad, this is indeed the Great Dao of Life and Death!"

Luo Tian turned his head to look at the old man and said, "What? Then what does this thing have to do with the Great Emperor Tianming?"

The old man trembled all over again, unable to help but re-examine Luo Tian, saying, "You actually know so much!"

After a moment of silence, he continued, "I do indeed suspect that these things have a connection to the Great Emperor Tianming! This matter is very likely related to the death of the Great Emperor Tianming, or... perhaps the Great Emperor Tianming never died at all!"

"What?" Luo Tian was instantly astonished.

As the mortal enemy of the Tianyuan Realm, the ancestor of the Tianming Realm, the Great Emperor Tianming who reigned over the Upper Realm—could he possibly not be dead?

This was too shocking!

The old man said in a deep voice, "It is just a guess of mine; it is also possible that the Great Emperor Tianming is already dead, and the Great Dao he left behind after death gave birth to this black qi clan! However, this thing is definitely related to the Great Emperor Tianming!"

Hearing this, Luo Tian's face sank.

If just a moment ago he had only been moved by the old man and wanted to help solve this ominous qi,

then now, it was completely different!

Regardless of whether the Great Emperor Tianming was dead or alive, as long as there was a connection to him, that was a different matter entirely!

That was a personal grudge!

The next instant, Luo Tian turned his head to look at that mass of black qi.

Sss...

At this very moment, the black qi finally began to gradually recover, faintly taking on a human shape.

"You guy... what power did you just use?" The black qi looked at Luo Tian and said angrily.

However, before the words had even finished...

Bang!

Luo Tian grabbed the black qi directly with one hand.

"Answer my question: what is your relationship with the Great Emperor Tianming?" Luo Tian asked in a cold voice.

"Hmm? You want to threaten me with your ability? Wishful thinking!" the black qi said.

Luo Tian exerted force with his hand.

Bang!

A portion of the black qi shattered instantly.

Yet, the black qi sneered, "Idiot, don't you understand yet? I admit you are very strong, but you cannot kill me! Because I am the Great Dao!"

Luo Tian's mouth twitched, and spiritual energy surged on his body.

Hum!

The next instant, a special rune condensed behind him.

That rune was vast with vitality on one side and roiling with death qi on the other.

"What? The... Great Dao of Life and Death?" Seeing this scene, the black qi was finally shocked.

What Luo Tian was displaying was actually the Great Dao of Life and Death!

One must know that what this black qi cultivated was also the Great Dao of Life and Death.

However, that was only a partial Great Dao.

But the rune behind Luo Tian before his eyes was clearly the complete Great Dao of Life and Death!

That was the limit the black qi had sought its entire life!

Yet Luo Tian had actually mastered it completely?

"Answer my question!" Luo Tian said coldly.

Hearing this, the black qi was slightly silent.

But just at this moment...

Boom!

Luo Tian's Great Dao of Extinction was activated.

Bang!

One of the black qi's arms was directly and completely erased!

It wasn't shattered; it was directly erased!

It was completely unable to recover!

"Ah—" In an instant, the black qi let out a miserable scream for the first time.

The cry was shrill and incredibly distressing to hear.

"Speak! Otherwise, I will erase you completely!" Luo Tian's expression grew colder.

"Fine! I'll speak, don't kill me!" At this moment, the black qi finally gave in.

"The Great Emperor Tianming had a deal with my clan! He buried his corpse with my clan and used the Great Dao of Life and Death to trade with my clan so that he could be reincarnated and reborn!" the black qi said tremblingly.
