Chapter 255

At this moment, Shen Qingli, clad in the white-bottom gold-embroidered Dao Court battle uniform, was full of heroic vigor!

The Regent Prince, however, had a momentary daze…

Shen Qingli's intuition was spot on; although Zhao Yue was not entirely her, to control Qin Su Nv she naturally had to divert a thread of her divine essence into Qin Su Nv's reincarnated form.

So, she actually possessed Zhao Yue's memories.

Moreover—she had them in both lives!

"No."

The Regent Prince spoke slowly, his smile utterly strange.

"If you lose, I will purify you."

"With the Holy See's Purification Light incantation."

"No reincarnation, soul and spirit scattered."

"Even the divine form shall be shattered."

Each sentence was the ending of Shen Qingli's past life!

It was also her heart demon! Yes, exactly the heart demon!

The profundity of the first layer of the God-Demon Metamorphosis is the demon.

Shen Qingli never quite understood how this differed from the third layer "Stabilization" of the Immortal-Demon Metamorphosis.

But at the moment she saw the Regent Prince's face bearing Zhao Yue's features, she vaguely understood.

Upon obtaining the complete power of the last three of the Four Spirits, she still had not advanced.

She realized, "The demon" is the heart demon.

And the Regent Prince (Zhao Yue) is her heart demon.

As for the Regent Prince, he clearly understood Shen Qingli's weak point as well.

Heroic vigor?

Merely a bone she could casually tear apart in her hand.

Also a poor little thing driven by her and her followers into a state where there was no escape on earth nor way in heaven.

"All right."

Shen Qingli looked at her and agreed.

"As an exchange, your death will be settled by me."

"I will devour you, transform you, and make you my stepping stone."

Wanting to trample her back into the sewers again, to become a rat despised by all, unseen by daylight?

Impossible.

Shen Qingli held her high ponytail aloft, back to the sunlight, her gaze falling upon the Regent Prince's face.

"Then let's begin." The Regent Prince clapped, his eyes full of compassion.

This duel, no matter the outcome, was inherently her certain victory.

Now she could still ensure Shen Qingli's destruction, and it remained her favorite method; she was quite satisfied.

On the Shen Ting side, no one else spoke either.

Shen Qingli's words were undoubtedly a different kind of military order.

If she loses, she will die as a sacrifice!

"Really willful."

"Her death could offset the losses of the Dao Court?"

Xiyan still felt dissatisfied, muttering under her breath.

Qiu Jun glanced at her, feeling a bit headachy.

"No matter what, she has the God Sovereign and the Empress backing her."

Qiu Jun hinted to Xiyan not to speak such dangerous remarks again.

Although Xiyan still felt resentful, she also did not say anything more.

Qiu Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing full well that whatever Xiyan said could be heard by all the divinities present.

However, Xiyan was merely a minor immortal; the divinities would not bother with her.

But if she kept provoking, one could not guarantee that no mishap would occur.

At this moment, Di Er spoke up, inquiring, "Does the Dao Court have any objections to their private agreement?"

Of course there were! But all objections dissipated in Shen Qingli's backward glance.

So resolute! So steadfast.

Tai Jin said, "No objections."

"Not allowed." Cangpei frowned, "In a duel, one must not act on impulse."

Many divinities nodded, including the Grand Elder, all nodding.

As the Healing God of this duel, he must take charge of post-battle treatment for all the participating children.

"This is my private agreement with the Regent Prince; whether my realm consents is irrelevant—let's begin the battle."

Having said that, Shen Qingli looked at Liu Meng, who nodded and leapt forward, and the others followed suit.

Tai Jin had already turned to Cangpei, saying, "God Sovereign, if your Penglai does not align with my Shen Ting, you may simply return."

That was a real slap in the face for Cangpei! The gods and immortals of Penglai all darkened their faces.

But the Dragon King said, "Exactly so; facing the Western teaching, we must unify our opinions. Since the Goddess has made a private pact, showing her resolve is set, we support her."

"But she is still young!" Cangpei still felt he could not let Shen Qingli run wild.

"Yet she is very opinionated." The Qingqiu clan leader Qingyan said with a smile, "Cangpei God Sovereign, you weren't the one who wanted to marry the Goddess? How come you now find her too young, not of your generation?"

Cang Pei Qingjun's face froze for a moment.

Ha! Cang Shen Zun has taught too much, seeing anyone just wants to lecture people on principles.

Ruoshui, the lord of the Xihuang Abyss, spoke slowly, his tone playful and mocking, as it fell upon Cang Pei's eyes! He actually bore the semblance of an old friend.

"Sheng Long Tian is like this, Shen Ting still like this, rather single-minded." Ruoshui bowed, acknowledging his identity in the void: "Great Zhou, Zhou Chuanqi, fortunate to meet again."

Cang Pei's face turned cold as he glanced toward Qingyan—could this be Zhou Chuanfeng?

Really not, Qingyan returned his gaze with doubt: "How so, is what Qingyan said wrong?"

"We, after great difficulty gathering again, the Shenjun shows mercy, unwilling to see living beings suffer, thus we must wholeheartedly support and not cause discord," said the Old Dragon King of the Eastern Sea gratefully.

If it weren't for the Kunlun Shenjun bestowing the elixir, he wouldn't be able to come out now.

Now, since the Shenjun hasn't obstructed, whatever his daughter wishes to do, he will naturally support wholeheartedly.

"The Old Dragon King's words are correct," the gods of the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands all agreed; in the bet placed on the Kunlun Shenjun, even without them, they are especially grateful.

Otherwise, given the layout of the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands scattered outward, by rights the first to be sent out as a sacrifice should be them—not some Dao Palace or Four God Palaces.

The Kunlun Shenjun didn't treat them as cannon fodder; in the first battle he even let his own biological daughter go up, and she directly issued a military order—what's there to criticize?

On the battle platform—

"Please."

"Please."

Crown Prince Zongjin and Liu Meng exchanged greetings.

The two sides' battle arrays spread out, but not in a single line.

After Liu Meng finished his salute, he retreated to the left, forming a double wing with Li Yidao.

Shen Qingli still stood at the front; behind her, past Liu Meng and Li Yidao, stood Zhan Yuefeng.

Shen Qing Tong retreated to the rear, his pair of green pupils glowing brightly.

And Shen Qing Mo had already clenched his fist, ready to strike at any moment!

"A coordinated formation?" Qingyan sensed the clue, "Have you trained in team cooperation?"

No one answered, but those with keen eyes could basically tell! This small team had definitely prepared in coordination.

"Somewhat interesting." The regent smiled and said, "Could it be that you lack earth immortals here, requiring roughly equal ranks to unleash your strongest combat power in this battle method?"

No.

Everyone guessed wrong.

At the moment of stepping onto the platform.

Only then did Shen Qingli reveal this formation.

"Both sides are ready."

Tianyi and Tai Jin spoke in unison.

"Begin battle!"

As soon as that sound fell,

The first to exert force, however, was Zhan Yuefeng.

"Heaven's blessing, Shen Qingli!"

He directly transferred his own qi fortune entirely to Shen Qingli's Zhan Yuefeng; after adding, he withdrew! He withdrew to behind Shen Qing Mo.

At the same moment! Shen Qing Mo was no longer in his original place; the instant the Ming Phoenix fire ignited, he had already locked onto his prey!

"Die!"

The ruthless, few-worded San Ge!

His style remains unchanged!

His target is the Asura, the one with the strongest aura on the opposing side!

Shen Qing Tong quickly transmitted a thought to Liu Meng and Li Yidao: "Dodge!"

As for Shen Qingli, naturally he went straight into battle as soon as it began!

Everyone thought her true form's combat ability was lacking?

That was a huge mistake!

All nine meridians ignited!

Vermilion Bird Divine Fire!

"Cry!"

Purple-red phoenix flames shot up into the sky!

People were all astonished, this divine fire's color is wrong!

But the next moment——

"Bang!"

Nobody expected it!

Shen Qingli head-butted the Crown Prince Zongjin!

Not meaning "deadlock" or "hard clash."

Literally, using his head to butt the Crown Prince's head!

This fighting style, I've never seen……

However!
