Chapter 124: Breaking Through to the True Qi Realm
There were over thirty Weirds present, and among them, a portion possessed the strength of the True Qi Realm. However, even at the True Qi Realm, they could not escape the net of Li Heng's Boundless Earth Dharma Aspect.
"How do you feel now?" Li Heng said indifferently.
Seeing that Li Heng had finally made a move, the Weirds were startled. The sick old man stepped forward, gritted his teeth, and spoke with some difficulty, "Lord You, what exactly are you trying to do?"
They addressed him with respect, calling him 'you' and 'Lord'.
This sick old man had completely yielded. So many Weirds had gathered together, erupting with Terror, yet they were still imprisoned here by the Weird, unable to leave. And Li Heng, the perpetrator, was clearly a presence far beyond their reach.
Li Heng did not answer.
In his perception, the respective Qi of these Weirds had already faintly merged together, operating in a mysterious trajectory, seemingly slowly constructing an Array.
Clearly, the organizer on the other side had also noticed that these Weirds had gathered and was obviously unable to wait any longer.
Although he had killed that old woman at the wonton stall earlier, causing a Node of this Descent Array to be missing, it was clear that the organizer had also made some fault tolerance; even with a missing Node, it could still be evolved again by relying on these Qi.
It was just a bit slower.
Now that the organizer could not wait, neither could he!
With a wave of his hand, the massive Earth Dharma Aspect Power that had already spread throughout Baishou Ridge surged, causing the Earth Veins within to churn, directly pinning the Weirds in place, frozen and unable to move.
His thoughts flickered, causing the positions of these Weirds to change. If someone were looking down from the sky, they would surely discover that the positions where these Weirds stood connected to form an Array.
You, the organizer, don't you want to descend and settle scores with him?
Fine! Then I will let you descend sooner!
Li Heng sneered in his heart. While allowing this Descent Array to form rapidly, he also relaxed some of the Earth Dharma Aspect's shielding of the Void, welcoming the arrival of this Sunset Organization organizer!
Beijun, in a hidden place.
The organizer floated with eyes closed amidst the vast Yin Qi. With every breath, he stirred up gusts of Yin Qi whirlwinds. His massive figure was like a demon god, exuding an extremely oppressive aura.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a demonic light flashed.
He waved his large hand, and the massive Yin Qi around him was instantly utilized by him, unexpectedly creating a huge, constantly churning Yin Qi vortex. And as the vortex expanded, some spatial fluctuations even appeared within it!
Heh, I want to see who exactly you are!
The organizer sneered in his heart.
Within the vast and ancient Sunset Organization, he was merely a peripheral figure. But placed here in Beijun, whether it was the Demon Suppression Division or the noble families, who did not respect him in the slightest or fear him to some degree?
Yet, in this tiny Beian County, he was humiliated by a tiny Living Dead Ghost? Did he really think he was easy to bully? Did he really think that just because you have a background, my Sunset Organization cannot afford to offend you?
His thoughts flashed in the blink of an eye.
His massive figure moved, wanting to walk directly into this Yin Qi vortex, following the guidance of the Descent Array to descend directly into Beian County and catch Li Heng off guard.
But the next moment.
His body had just touched the Yin Qi vortex when it was bounced back out. The organizer frowned; what was going on? He sensed it slightly and was immediately stunned, somewhat surprised. Was the Void over there shielded?
Could it be that that Living Dead had already sensed his descent?
Was the shielding of the Void his own handiwork?
Thinking of this, he still sneered in his heart.
So what if the Void was shielded? The shielding intensity was still not great enough! Just because his true form could not descend did not mean his avatar could not. It seemed that the Living Dead did not know his power at all!
With a wave of his large hand, the surrounding Yin Qi churned and condensed into a human shape. A wisp of his consciousness flew out and struck into it; this Yin Qi figure instantly transformed into his likeness, becoming one of his avatars!
Although the avatar's strength was not high, it only had thirty percent of his strength.
But it could pass through this Yin Qi vortex and descend.
He was not a fool; he had considered the possibility of it being a trap. Although he thought it unlikely, because the true strength of that Living Dead Ghost was clearly too weak—he reasoned that if his true form couldn't even beat his avatar, how would he dare to set a trap?
He probably found out about his intention to descend by accident.
And was just hurriedly using his trump card to shield the Void.
Of course, one is not afraid of ten thousand, but one is afraid of the 'what if'; accidents still had to be guarded against. Thinking of this, he condensed his power into a Power Seed, absorbed the surrounding massive Yin Qi, struck it into this avatar, and then sent it into the Yin Qi vortex.
On Baishou Ridge.
These Weirds were suppressed by the Earth Dharma Aspect Power, unable to move or even speak, and were filled with terror. Slowly, as their Qi merged, the Descent Array was formed.
They then saw.
A huge Yin Qi vortex slowly emerged in the sky above their heads, within which various spatial fluctuations flickered, and a Terror aura emanated from it, as if some Terror presence was about to descend.
This is... that Lord is about to descend?
The Weirds were bewildered, not knowing what had happened. They hadn't finished building the Descent Array, so why could that Lord still descend?
However, there were also clever Weirds among them.
They immediately realized that that Lord simply did not trust them; while ordering them to build the Descent Array, he must have also used means on them to allow himself to descend!
These clever Weirds could not help but cast their gazes toward Li Heng.
It was very clear now.
This existence named "You" was clearly the ruthless person from the gathering. But why, when that Lord was about to descend, did this "You" not stop him?
Or could it be that he was also looking forward to this Lord's descent?
But the Lord was descending specifically to settle scores with him! They fell silent in their hearts, thinking, and suddenly hit upon a possibility. Could it be... that this "You" also wanted to deal with the Lord!
They all shivered in their hearts, stunned.
Boom!
The Yin Qi vortex suddenly exploded, emitting a Terror explosion sound that tore through the sky. Invisible sound waves swept across the top of Baishou Ridge, even snapping those thick, strangely shaped trees in half!
A figure stepped out from the very chaotic Yin Qi mist after the explosion, treading on the Void, appearing before the Weirds—it was the organizer's avatar that had officially descended!
Li Heng was not surprised, only his eyebrows twitched.
As he expected, what descended was only an avatar, not the true form. It was just that the strength of this avatar was clearly a bit stronger, even reaching the Innate Level; it was almost Innate!
It seemed that the organizer's true form was clearly very strong.
"You finally came."
With every step Li Heng took, his momentum surged, and just like the host, he walked upon the Void, rising higher and higher until he finally arrived before the host.
At the same time, his body reached its peak, sublimating to the extreme, and underwent a mysterious transformation; wisps of True Qi appeared within his body as if out of thin air, wandering through his limbs and bones.
Breaking through to the True Qi Realm!
The wonder of True Qi lies in it being the power of one's own origin, which, when combined with the embryonic form of the Jing Flower from the Three Flowers Record, caused his strength to skyrocket! It directly propelled him to the second stage of the True Qi Realm: Burst Qi!
At this moment, even without using the Sun True Fire, his physical body, Qi and Blood, and True Qi alone made him invincible within the True Qi Realm!
The True Qi further combined with the bloodline and Original Qi of the Great Sun Spirit Body, causing the pure True Qi to transform and sublimate into Great Sun True Qi—scorching and radiant—causing Li Heng's strength to surge a second time.
He had not yet entered the Gang Qi Realm, yet he was stronger than the Gang Qi Realm!
His combat power at this moment was enough to crush those so-called Half-step Innate. By utilizing the power of the Taiyuan Scripture to manipulate the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, he could even crush a weak Innate of the level of the host's avatar.
This is the result of accumulating strength and waiting for the right moment, rising with the wind in a single day!
"Your... aura is different from before!"
The host looked at Li Heng with a solemn expression, filled with extreme wariness. When they met on Shangguan Yan's Flower Boat, he saw Li Heng as incredibly weak, someone he could crush with a casual flick of his hand.
But now... his aura was actually comparable to his own avatar?
How could this be! He felt a sense of shock in his heart.
"To kill you, I only need one punch!"
Li Heng spoke calmly and threw a punch, accompanied by the power of the Boundless Earth Dharma Aspect, as if the Boundless Earth were striking across, heavy and ancient, intending to kill this avatar with a single blow.
Not good, the host felt a jolt of alarm in his heart.
Seeing Li Heng break through, he realized he was no longer the ant he had perceived, and coupled with the possibility of some Unknown origin, he immediately felt the urge to settle the matter peacefully and wanted to have a proper talk.
But he did not expect that this Living Dead would not give him a chance at all!
Boundless Yin Qi surged from his body, manifesting behind him as a baring-fangs-and-brandishing-claws demon, like a spirit behind him, meeting Li Heng's massive punch.
You still want to kill me with one punch? Who do you think you are!?
The host sneered continuously in his heart, reinforcing his power. Since this Living Dead did not want to settle things peacefully, then let them fight. He wanted to see what could give this Living Dead such confidence!
The Yin Qi demon met the attack, and for every bit of distance it slid, the Yin Qi and the level of Terror within it increased by a point; that terrifying momentum was constantly accumulating, even causing everything around it to tremble.
In the end, even the trees exploded.
Even below, some of the Weird watching the battle exploded directly because they could not withstand this momentum; and this was merely the aftermath of the strike.
Li Heng's expression was calm; the Jing Flower within his body shook, and the massive essence and Qi and Blood were added and erupted. The Taiyuan Scripture within his body circulated, and the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi added its strength to it, meeting the Yin Qi demon.
Without any suspense, in an instant, the Yin Qi demon was blasted apart, turning into bursts of Yin Qi mist that dissipated. The fist passed through the Yin Qi mist, its speed suddenly surging.
It sounded like the air tearing, it sounded like space shattering!
Before the host could react, the fist had already struck his body, and a terrifying, immense force arrived, as if he were being suppressed by the Boundless Earth.
Under that one punch, his body exploded!
Like an ice block being smashed, it shattered into pieces.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye; those Weird only saw, in the blink of an eye, that this lord who had descended had been blasted apart by a single punch.
They were stunned; the lord was dead? So vulnerable?
