Chapter 1574: The Great Battle and the Qin Li Tianwang Line

Crash!

The rain poured down in torrents, black rain forming a curtain that obscured everything between heaven and earth, while a thick, extreme chill of yin energy spread outward, constantly stirring the negative emotions deep within one's heart.

Fortunately, however, on the horizon behind them, a dazzling, eye-catching great sun of divine crystal hung suspended, releasing endless sacred crystalline light, constantly dissolving the black rain and slowing its erosion.

The battle line stretched for tens of thousands of miles, filled with the ceaseless sounds of brutal slaughter; some True Demon aberrations were slain, and some Marquis Platforms suddenly shattered, becoming a skyful of energy fragments.

While the countless experts on Li Li Tianwang's side maintained the battle line, their gazes held a trace of worry as they looked toward the central region of the battlefield. There, the Finger-Wing False King that Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge had previously blasted down together seemed to have been enraged, and its form had undergone some changes.

It stood in the void, the pair of ghastly-white finger wings on its back already transformed into a black that radiated an ominous aura, and the two wings had become four...

Viscous, ominous liquid of malice constantly dripped from the finger wings, and wherever it fell, the ground below instantly became like white paper with ink dropped onto it, dyed into a cold, evil land.

At this moment, the four-winged False King's pupils had turned pitch-black, filled with venomous resentment and the intent to kill, locked onto Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge.

And sensing the waves of malice radiating from within the four-winged False King, a solemn look also rose in the eyes of Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge. So this is the true power of a False King? It truly far surpasses an Upper Nine-Peak Marquis by too much.

However, precisely because this four-winged False King was so terrifying, they could not allow it to rampage and slaughter freely across the battlefield, for it would cause devastating destruction to Li Li Tianwang's battle line.

"Sister Jiang Qinge, let's move!"

The ten-thousand-zhang Heavenly Dragon that Li Luo had transformed into let out a deafening dragon roar. The next instant, he suddenly tore through the air, swinging a massive dragon claw, upon which resplendent divine light splashed.

He used the Three-Dragon Town Demon Divine Light to empower his Heavenly Dragon's physical body; every strike contained extremely terrifying power, and even an ordinary Upper Nine-Peak Marquis expert, if struck by his dragon claw, would have their phase force suppressed by the divine light.

The mountain-like dragon claw, wrapped in an overwhelmingly domineering force, directly shattered the void and launched an attack against the four-winged False King.

And facing Li Luo's attack, the four-winged False King extended a ghastly-white palm. One could see segments of black fingers detach from its four wings, then transform into a black long whip in its hand.

The long whip was roughly several hundred zhang long, and the fingernails of the black fingers began to grow exceptionally long and sharp, like countless black venomous needles embedded backward into the whip's body.

Sizzle!

The black finger-whip lashed viciously, wrapped in terrifying force, tearing open this stretch of firmament, then slammed brutally down onto that mountain-like dragon claw.

At the moment of contact, the resplendent divine light wrapped around Li Luo's dragon claw was directly torn apart, and even the purple-gold dragon scales upon it were ripped open with crack after crack, dragon blood splashing out.

Dense malice energy surged in through the wounds, attempting to corrode the dragon claw.

But in the blink of an eye, a wondrous flame welled up from deep within the wounds, completely refining away that malice energy.

That was the refining effect of the Grand Formless Fire.

Although the corrosion of the malice energy had been neutralized, Li Luo still felt a piercing pain transmit from his dragon claw. This four-winged False King was truly terrifying—it had even failed to hold back the defense of his Heavenly Dragon body.

A fierce glint surfaced in Li Luo's dragon pupils.

He had no intention of retreating in the slightest. He launched another offensive, his dragon tail, dragon claws, and dragon breath all imbued with resplendent divine light, transforming into a tide-like terrifying assault that rained down upon the four-winged False King to blot out the sky.

A mocking expression seemed to surface on the four-winged False King's delicate face. It swung the black finger-whip in its hand, the void being torn apart into streak after streak of black shadows. Those black shadows, like venomous pythons, contained extremely sinister fluctuations as they surged forward to meet the attack.

However, just as the two sides' attacks were about to collide, suddenly sacred to the extreme Light Sacred Flame descended from the heavens, covering Li Luo's dragon claws, dragon breath, and dragon tail.

Boom!

The two sides collided viciously once again.

But this time, the malice-eroding effect on those whip shadows suddenly weakened greatly. Under the suppression and purification of the resplendent divine light and the Sacred Flame, numerous whip shadows were continuously torn apart by Li Luo's Heavenly Dragon assault.

And Jiang Jiang Qinge pressed her palms together. At her smooth brow, a Saint Aspect crystal core like a divine vertical eye flowed with an extremely sacred luster. Within that crystal core, it was as if a world of light existed, with divine temples faintly visible within.

While empowering Li Luo with the Sacred Flame, she also split her focus to condense an offensive. One could see a wisp of spiritual light rise above her head, then transform into a sacred halo of light, suspended behind her.

Light Sacred Flame Heavenly Halo!

Whoosh whoosh!

The next instant, from within the sacred halo, ten Seven Treasures Glazed Light Swords shot forth explosively, like sacred dragons, wrapped in overwhelming light, coordinating with Li Luo's assault as they slashed toward the four-winged False King.

And facing the fierce joint offensive of the two, the four-winged False King threw back its head and shrieked, swinging the black finger-whip in its hand, whipping up a skyful of black rain as it fought fiercely against the two.

The battle between the two sides instantly entered a white-hot stage.

Terrifying aftershocks of energy formed a storm, swirling across this stretch of firmament, causing the heavens to crack and the earth to crumble.

This scene made everyone involuntarily gasp in a cold breath of air; even Li Li Qingpeng, Li Li Jiluo, and these other Nine-Peak Marquis experts had their eyelids twitching rapidly.

A battle of this magnitude was one that even they, these Nine-Peak Marquis experts, would find very difficult to intervene in.

"Is this still a battle between Nine-Peaks?" they laughed bitterly. Fortunately, their side had two equally freakish Unparalleled Six-Peaks like Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge holding the line; otherwise, if they had to rely on these Peak Marquis experts to deal with this four-winged False King, they would surely have paid an especially bitter price.

The Qin Li Tianwang line was a cautionary precedent.

The power of a False King surpassed Upper Nine-Peaks by far too much.

Only Unparalleled Six-Peaks like Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, who bore the Ten Thousand Aspects Seed and the Primordial Seed, could match it.

After a brief sigh, Li Li Qingpeng and the others also gathered their wandering thoughts. Nine towering Marquis Platforms shot up into the sky, suppressing toward the Nine-Peak True Demons that had appeared within the Aberration Tide.

Fierce battles erupted in every corner of this long battle line.

Unknowingly, the intense fighting continued for most of half a day.

On the mountain peak behind, before the three sect leaders Dantai Lan, Li Li Tianji, and Li Li Qingying, spatial mirrors condensed one after another under Dantai Lan's control, reflecting the battlefield stretching tens of thousands of miles.

"This battle is more intense than any before it," Li Li Tianji sighed and said.

Dantai Lan's gaze, however, was fixed on the depths of the battlefield—the place where Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, and the four-winged False King were fighting. Over this half day, the battle between the two sides had been extraordinarily fierce, with one technique after another being deployed in turns, making many people's hearts pound with fright.

The four-winged False King, under the black rain, had received an obvious amplification, its strength extremely astonishing. If it had been an ordinary Unparalleled Six-Peak, at this moment they would likely only have the power to protect themselves before it. But unfortunately for it, it had run into two monsters like Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Therefore, during this period of fighting, the four-winged False King repeatedly deployed killing moves, but between Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, an extremely tacit coordination was displayed. The former, relying on the formidable defense of the Heavenly Dragon body, actively took on many heavy blows head-on, while Jiang Jiang Qinge seized the opportunity to deploy sacred, pure to the extreme light phase force, severing quite a few of the human fingers on the four-winged False King's finger wings.

"A confrontation of this level can be called the topmost tier below the King realm," Li Li Qingying couldn't help but sigh. The clash before their eyes had already reached the point where it could catch the eye of King realm experts like them.

"The finger wings behind this four-winged False King, while fighting Li Luo and them, are secretly and continuously drawing in the black rain. It is deliberately stalling for time; it is likely brewing some kind of killing move," Li Li Tianji suddenly said. Mystical light flowed in his eyes, faintly perceiving that dangerous fluctuations were gathering within the four-winged False King's body.

Hearing this, Dantai Lan did not show a worried expression, and said lightly: "Xiao Luo and Jiang Qinge aren't idle either."

She stared at the purple-gold Heavenly Dragon erupting with terrifying dragon might in the distant firmament. Within the Heavenly Dragon's body, similarly, a faint yet powerful fluctuation was emerging. This included Jiang Jiang Qinge's side; while maintaining an unceasing offensive, she was also secretly preparing something.

The fierce fighting between the two sides during this period was all about repeatedly probing the other's bottom line, searching for an opening to strike a fatal blow.

At this level of confrontation, the slightest opening revealed would trigger an earth-shattering counterattack.

However, in the end, which side could turn the situation around would depend on the strength of their respective hidden cards.

"Oh?"

Thinking this, Dantai Lan suddenly let out a startled exclamation, and at the same time her gaze turned to a spatial mirror, because on the western side of the battlefield there, countless pillars of phase force light had suddenly appeared, and one after another, marquis-bestowing platforms had shot up into the sky.

"Is that the army of Qin Li Tianwang's lineage?! What are they trying to do? Could it be that they want to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on us?!" Li Li Qingying's face changed drastically, and fury rose in her eyes.

"Branch Leader Li Qingying, don't be hasty—it doesn't seem to be the case."

Li Li Tianji was startled at first as well, but then he immediately discovered that the army from Qin Li Tianwang's lineage had actually attacked the flank of the Alien Tide. Instantly, fierce combat erupted, and the Alien Tide, which stretched for tens of thousands of miles, became abruptly sluggish because of it.

And affected by this, the pressure on the front line of Li Li Tianwang's lineage visibly eased.

"This..."

Li Li Qingying's face was full of astonishment. She could never have imagined that Qin Li Tianwang's lineage would choose to attack the Alien Tide at this critical moment, thereby easing the pressure on their side.

Given the temperament of those old things in Qin Li Tianwang's lineage, shouldn't they be sitting back and watching Li Li Tianwang's lineage be worn down by the Alien Tide at this point?

Dantai Lan beside her wore a face full of suspicion and said: "Qin Li Tianwang's lineage actually did something decent for once? Did Qin Zhongyuan, Qin Qu and those old things drop dead?"

Li Li Tianji's face twitched. He and people like Qin Zhongyuan were of the same generation, so he always felt that Dantai Lan's phrase "those old things" seemed to include him as well.

Moreover, Dantai Lan's cursing was truly a bit harsh. One could tell that her feelings toward Qin Li Tianwang's lineage had long since passed simple dislike.

However, no matter what, this situation was an extremely good piece of news for Li Li Tianwang's lineage. The easing of the Alien Tide's pressure would greatly reduce their casualties.

This point could be seen from how Li Li Tianwang's lineage's front line had suddenly begun to advance fiercely—the Alien Tide was gradually retreating.

And this sudden turn of events also alerted the Four-Winged False King, or rather, any movement within the range of that black rain would register in its perception.

In its dark, eerie pupils, a dense killing intent surged forth.

It stared at the purple-gold giant dragon and the woman radiating sacred, luminous phase force ahead, and suddenly extended its sharp claws, tearing at its own chest. Flesh was ripped open at once, and dark blood flowed out. And as the flesh was torn, a faint black light rose.

That wisp of faint black light was a black blood wheel covered in countless sharp fangs. Upon the blood wheel were inscribed evil, ominous, and ancient patterns.

When this black blood wheel appeared, the fierce attacks from Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge were all swallowed up entirely by the black light it splashed forth.

The skyful of black rain also seemed to be summoned by something, surging over in overwhelming waves, and was entirely swallowed up by this black blood wheel.

As it continuously devoured the black rain, this black blood wheel, in just a few breaths, grew to a thousand zhang in size, like a full moon brimming with the aura of death.

On this battlefield, countless gazes of horror lifted, staring at that unsettling black blood wheel.

And amid those countless horrified gazes, the shriek of dense killing intent from the Four-Winged False King had already echoed across the battlefield.

"Source of Evil Rain, Cursed Rain Blood Wheel!"
