Chapter 859: Reckoning?

"You may be a genius!"

"But I'm no slouch either—I am the third Body Integration on the Lei Huang Continent!"

"Stop wasting your strength!"

"No trick of yours can harm me!"

The Qingqi Crown Prince stood in the void, gazing coolly at He Pingsheng: "Given your extraordinary talent, I'll give you one more chance!"

"I'll give you ten breaths to hand over your Heavenly Dao Slave Seal!"

"After ten breaths!"

The Qingqi Crown Prince's face turned grim, his eyes brimming with killing intent: "Kill… without mercy!"

He Pingsheng, standing in the opposite void, shook his head: "I won't hand over the Heavenly Dao Slave Seal—and you won't kill me today!"

"So what if you're the Qingqi Crown Prince?"

"What if you're Body Integration?"

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and yanked back the massive hundred-zhang divine rod.

"Is that so?" The Qingqi Crown Prince smirked confidently: "In our fight just now, I used less than half my strength!"

"Since you want to die, let me show you true lightning power!"

"Open!"

Boom… boom… boom…

The Qingqi Crown Prince roared, his body suddenly expanding to a thousand zhang tall.

His Dharma Body manifested.

He thrust both hands outward and clenched the void.

From each hand, a massive silver lightning bolt writhed forth.

Without using any magic treasure, the Qingqi Crown Prince swung his arms, and the silver lightning transformed into a sea of thunder, pouring down upon He Pingsheng's head.

The Qilin clan cultivates the Lightning Dao, just as the Phoenix clan cultivates Divine Fire.

Flashing, crackling lightning filled the void, streaks and bolts blinding the sky.

Each silver bolt resembled cracks in the void.

Or like silver dragons and serpents born from nothing.

They writhed toward He Pingsheng, enclosing him.

A burst of light erupted beneath He Pingsheng's feet—he moved at unimaginable speed, instantly escaping the lightning's grasp.

"Such speed… but it's useless," the Qingqi Crown Prince roared: "Thunder Dance… Nine Heavens!"

Vast torrents of lightning erupted from his body.

Lightning bolts spiraled from him, engulfing the entire void within a ten-thousand-zhang radius.

It was a vast ocean of thunder.

As the lightning fell, it instantly sealed the void and locked time.

The Qingqi Crown Prince shouted: "How will you escape now?"

He Pingsheng knew he was no match for the Qingqi Crown Prince—he was a full major realm below.

But was running that hard?

Whoosh…

His figure vanished instantly!

When he reappeared, he was already a ten-thousand-zhang away, in another stretch of void.

Technique: Void Swift Movement!

"Good boy… what technique is this? How did you break my spatial lockdown?"

"Wang Dun… today, you've truly angered me!"

"You…"

"Will die!"

Boom…

The thousand-zhang Dharma Body loosened its left hand, and a three-pronged steel fork flew out, stabbing toward He Pingsheng.

Likewise, lightning crackled across the fork.

At the same time, a divine sword hovered in the void.

"Qing Tian Thunder Sword Slash…"

Boom… boom… boom…

Two attacks struck from opposite directions toward He Pingsheng.

Each attack could lock the void and freeze time.

The Qingqi Crown Prince's logic was simple: if one strike can't lock the void, then two will.

He trusted quantity to ensure the void was sealed.

He was disappointed again.

He Pingsheng moved—and instantly reappeared ten thousand zhang away.

Boom… boom… boom…

Vast lightning energy exploded in the void, shaking the very fabric of space.

"Open…"

He Pingsheng roared.

He had been taking blows passively long enough.

It was time to strike back.

His small form swelled instantly—his Dharma Body, Manifesting Heaven and Earth, rose up.

Though only five hundred zhang tall, dwarfed by the opponent's thousand-zhang frame, it remained immensely powerful.

"Good boy!" the Qingqi Crown Prince said: "Like me, you've cultivated Dharma Body, Manifesting Heaven and Earth even at Void Refinement!"

"Wang Dun… I've never heard your name before!"

"Where do you come from?"

He Pingsheng replied: "It doesn't matter…"

"Soul and Spear as One!"

"Ten Thousand Annihilations Return to Origin!"

In the next instant, the Hong Meng Purple Gold Rod transformed into a colossal divine spear, merging with He Pingsheng's body as he charged toward the Qingqi Crown Prince.

Technique: Ten Thousand Annihilations Return to Origin!

Technique: Five Elements Unified Force!

Technique: Heavenly Gang Three Transformations!

Technique: Ten Thousand Corrosions Enchanting Method!

Four techniques merged into one.

"Come!" The Qingqi Crown Prince, though massive, moved with startling agility—he retreated swiftly, creating space, then raised his right hand to block the incoming divine spear.

His palm opened, revealing a blue shield that snapped open into a massive, thousand-zhang giant shield, perfectly blocking He Pingsheng's attack.

Boom…

The divine spear struck the shield with full force.

Yet no matter how fierce He Pingsheng's attack, the giant shield showed not a single crack.

Streams of silver energy rippled outward from the colossal shield.

Both sides locked in stalemate in the void.

The Qingqi Crown Prince's eyes still held contempt.

"You really think I can't kill you?"

"It's just a waste of a talisman!" As he spoke, the Qingqi Crown Prince retracted the steel fork and pulled out a golden talisman.

He instantly activated it.

He Pingsheng's heart jolted.

For he recognized it—a seventh-grade supreme talisman.

Though he'd never seen it before, he knew such a thing could instantly slay a peak Body Integration cultivator.

As the talisman ignited, its cosmic laws and celestial spiritual energy coalesced into a golden arrowhead, one zhang long.

The arrowhead hovered in the void, slowly locking onto He Pingsheng.

A primal terror, a trembling dread of death, shivered through his soul.

"Go…" the Qingqi Crown Prince hissed.

Whoosh…

The golden arrow pierced the void, streaking straight for He Pingsheng.

One strike—locked space and time.

He Pingsheng didn't hesitate—he channeled his magic power, activated Void Swift Movement, and instantly teleported ten thousand zhang away.

But what terrified him was this: the moment he appeared in the new location, the golden arrowhead followed—striking precisely where he had landed.

No!

He Pingsheng activated Void Swift Movement again.

He hoped to increase the distance between himself and the arrowhead.

He managed to activate Void Speed, but the arrowhead turned again and chased after him.

After activating Void Speed several times in a row, He Pingsheng was ready to curse.

He realized the arrowhead didn't just keep chasing—it was getting closer each time.

If this continued, he'd be obliterated by the arrowhead in no more than three or four more attempts.

In the past, it was always me using talismans to deal with others—what's going on today?

Karma?
