Chapter 588 - 587: The Sudden Beating

Staring at Li Jing, the Heavenly Emperor had an icy look.

"Freak, are you looking down on me?"

"Tsk."

Li Jing smacked his lips, flashing an innocent smile with Ruhua’s pretty face.

"Why would the Heavenly Emperor say such a thing? I’m just curious why a human saint would sever the pathway to heaven. I want to know the secrets of the past before I die. This is just a small wish, Heavenly Emperor, surely you wouldn’t mind satisfying it?"

"..."

The Heavenly Emperor.

Li Jing...

Isn’t it clear that he’s looking down on him?

He talks nicely, but clearly doesn’t consider him an enemy.

What’s this about ’before I die’?

Does he look like he thinks he’ll die?

And he even smacked his lips...

How could the Heavenly Emperor put up with this?

"Boom."

The Heavenly Emperor’s aura surged, causing the wind and clouds to gather in the high sky, subtly showing signs of stepping into the Return to Origin realm.

No.

To be precise.

He was already at the Return to Origin realm.

But being in the remnant soul state and restricted by the laws of heaven and earth, he couldn’t muster the power equivalent to the Return to Origin realm and could only faintly exceed that limit.

Feeling the Heavenly Emperor’s aura growing more and more powerful, Xiang Yunxian’s pretty face turned pale.

She didn’t understand.

Why can a dead person be so powerful?

He didn’t even seize a body, he just temporarily "borrowed" Nalan Longao’s body.

If he was still alive and at his peak, what a terrifying figure must he be?

The Four Emperors would probably be like little brothers in front of him!

But somehow.

Standing next to Li Jing, although Xiang Yunxian felt awe for the Heavenly Emperor’s power, she had no fear in her heart.

She simply thought...

This remnant soul is very powerful.

The Nine Elders like Fusheng were not so well off.

Firstly, they weren’t standing next to Li Jing, and secondly, they were just digging someone else’s grave.

The aura released by the Heavenly Emperor was enough to make people despair. They couldn’t match him--not even the Four Emperors gathered together could compete with him.

Seeing the Heavenly Emperor about to lose his temper, Li Jing "tsk" again.

"You better think it through. Whether you’re just a remnant soul now or still alive at your peak, it will only take me a minute to take you down. If you cross me, you’ll meet your death."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor’s aura faltered.

Xiang Yunxian and others all looked sideways.

Li Jing...

He really dared to say it...

"Interesting! I’d like to see what you’re really capable of!"

The Heavenly Emperor squinted, as the space behind him collapsed due to his raging aura.

Seeing this, Li Jing frowned slightly, handed the unfinished melon back to Xiang Yunxian, and smiled.

"Hold this for me and back away a bit."

"Oh, okay."

Xiang Yunxian unconsciously responded, holding the melon and stepping back.

Li Jing, facing the Heavenly Emperor’s raging aura, loosened up his arm and flashed a grin.

"Seems like I’ll have to beat you into submission before we can have a proper talk."

With those words, he took off the bracelet on his wrist.

"Boom!"

A surging evil spirit burst into the sky.

The Heavenly Emperor was shocked to see this.

Everyone can have an evil spirit.

Just go on as much of a killing spree as possible.

Animals that slaughter ferocious creatures accumulate evil spirits the fastest.

But usually, no one would do that.

If the accumulation of evil spirit doesn’t reach a certain limit, it’s mostly just frightening to look at and has no true combat value.

It’s only the evil creatures, through cultivation and constant killing to accumulate evil spirits.

They usually have an ability to stimulate their own ferocity with evil spirits.

Monsters, belong to the group of evil creatures.

But the evil spirits they cultivate, won’t be much, so they rarely try to accumulate it.

The violent evil spirits released by Li Jing at the moment, were beyond imagination.

The Heavenly Emperor was a experienced person.

In the past, he had seen that only some terrifying creatures, fearfully known, could have such a level of evil spirit; and all these creatures were famous for being evil beasts.

An only fox demon, with such a ferocious evil spirit...

How did he do that?

With a chill in his heart, the Heavenly Emperor found it uncomfortable to face Li Jing’s surging evil spirits.

Evil creatures, they all fall under the category of evil spirits.

But at the same time.

They’re also the ones most restrained by evil spirits.

In ancient times, there was a saying, evil suppresses evil.

The Heavenly Emperor is now in a remnant soul state, essentially, he is considered an evil creature.

Luckily, evil spirits themselves don’t possess substantial power. As long as one’s will is strong enough, they won’t be greatly affected. At this point, he was only feeling uncomfortable because of Li Jing’s evil spirits.

"Boom!"

Another loud noise, shaking heaven and earth.

Following the surging evil spirits, boundless blood Qi surged into the sky.

This time, the Heavenly Emperor’s complexion really changed.

A monster cultivates the body, unrivalled blood Qi.

That’s normal.

Body refining is about cultivating blood Qi.

But Li Jing’s blood Qi is way too exaggerated!

This TM...

Immortality!

He definitely ate the Immortal Medicine and achieved immortality!

Ni Ma...

This doesn’t look good, does it!

A monster with one foot in the Return to Origin realm, the Heavenly Emperor had confidence to deal with.

But if they’ve consumed the Immortal Medicine and achieved immortality, there’s no chance of defeating them.

The Emperor of Heaven can only exert a little more strength than a normal emperor, just a half step to the Return to Origin’s power.

Strictly speaking...

He’s pretty on par with Li Jing’s level.

But with years of battle experience in the Ancient Fairyland, he was confident that he could take him down.

However, now...

The astonishing evil energy that someone released clearly showed that he had slaughtered countless Fierce Evils. After all, the evil energy that a monster cultivates could never be so outrageous.

Having experienced countless slaughters, there’s no way their battle experience would be bad.

That, he could still accept.

But the fact that the being had consumed the Immortal Medicine, the Emperor of Heaven couldn’t accept at all.

Monsters are already tough and uncommonly strong. It’s unimaginable how difficult it would be to kill a monster that had consumed the Immortal Medicine.

In his current state, he could only suppress it at most.

But it’s not like you can just casually suppress a person!

This...

How to deal with this?

In his current state, he might lose...

Being humiliated was a small issue, but losing his life was a big deal.

The Emperor of Heaven’s expression changed.

At that moment,

Li Jing suddenly turned to look at Xiang Yunxian behind him and put his bracelet back on.

The violent evil energy was instantly retracted.

The Emperor of Heaven paused when he saw this.

Without the pressure and influence of the violent evil energy, he felt like he could handle himself again.

Li Jing only had that body full of Blood Qi, which could withstand a bit more battering at most.

He wouldn’t be killed.

A beating would suffice.

So... why?

Just as he was perplexed, Li Jing said to Xiang Yunxian:

"I’m sorry, I didn’t consider you."

"..."

Xiang Yunxian.

Evil energy affects all living beings.

That includes humans.

It’s just that ordinarily, it’s not as significant as it is with Evil Monsters.

Being so close and feeling Li Jing’s released evil energy, Xiang Yunxian was indeed uncomfortable.

But what she didn’t expect was...

Li Jing just turned his head and looked at her. Seeing her uncomfortable face, he retracted his energy.

In the face of a great enemy,

Isn’t that... inappropriate?

Is he taking me into consideration like this!?

Xiang Yunxian was moved and unconsciously wanted to say that she was fine.

But before she could speak, Li Jing’s soaring Blood Qi also quietly retracted.

?

Xiang Yunxian.

???

People like Fusheng and many others.

???

Emperor of Heaven.

Before the battle, it was fine to consider a dispensable woman, but what does it mean that Li Jing also withdrew his Blood Qi?

Just as he was stunned, Li Jing looked over.

"Heavenly Emperor, I’ve thought carefully, and there’s really no reason for us to fight. The only thing I’ve done is to dig up your grave, and there’s no need for us to fight to the death."

"..."

The Emperor of Heaven.

Just dug up your grave...

Is this human language?

Although a grave isn’t a big deal,

But the Emperor of Heaven also needs face, right?

But Li Jing’s move seems to have a taste of showing weakness.

Showing weakness.

That means he’s afraid.

Thinking of this, the corners of the Emperor of Heaven’s mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards slightly.

At this moment, Li Jing spoke.

"Heavenly Emperor, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not showing weakness to you, because you can’t possibly be my opponent. I simply feel that it’s unnecessary for us to fight. Of course, on the other hand, I’m also interested in what you said about the Human Saint."

"..."

The Emperor of Heaven.

Damn it.

This woman is not only annoying with her words...

What does it matter to her, a female demon, what the Human Saints have done?

Taking a deep breath, the Emperor of Heaven narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"Monster, don’t try to gain the upper hand with words! With the strength you’ve shown, it would indeed be difficult for this Emperor to deal with you in my current state. But you will definitely suffer in this Emperor’s hands!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing furrowed her brows.

"I’m just trying to have a chat with you, so why are you picking a fight with me?"

"..."

The Emperor of Heaven.

Is this considered picking a fight?

Fucking hell, is he supposed to admit that he can’t win?

Just as he was speechless, he suddenly realized he had been led by the nose from the start.

Not only did he not start the fight, but he had just been standing there watching this female demon perform.

This female demon did this for a reason.

Why...

Why did she do this?

The Emperor of Heaven was surprised and quickly glanced around.

Seeing this, Li Jing laughed teasingly.

"You noticed quite quickly, but unfortunately, it’s too late."

As he spoke, the realm behind him quietly opened.

The Primordial Spirit Method, towering over the ground, formed handprints and stood in the realm, its lips moving.

"All heaven’s star lodges, fix the heaven and earth! Da Zhoutian Ban! Now!"

"Boom!"

A robust streak of starlight burst out from the realm, resulting in the sky becoming dark and thousands of stars hanging in the sky.

Out of these, twenty-eight stars shone brightly, forming a light curtain to imprison the nearby space.

Facing such a situation, the Emperor of Heaven couldn’t help but change his expression.

He had seen this imprisonment from the outside.

The style was the same, but the power was utterly different.

At this moment, he could clearly feel it.

Even if he were to revive himself fully, he would not be able to escape from this law of confinement, unless he could kill the caster.

Looking at Li Jing’s realm again, the Emperor of Heaven lost his control on the spot.

The Human Saint...

Just quietly lying there.

On the side, there was also a coffin that revealed a great horror standing there, blocking a spatial passage entrance that gave an ill feeling.

TM...

Why is the Human Saint here?

What’s she doing...

Caught by this female demon!?

Wait!

Female demon!?

How can a female demon possess the Primordial Spirit Method!?

The damn Method is male!

The Emperor of Heaven noticed the key point, and naturally, Xiang Yunxian and the others made their discoveries too.

Monsters, don’t focus on Divinity Cultivation.

As a result, unless they have exceptional talents, they would never be able to possess the Primordial Spirit Method.

The fox demon doesn’t have a similar talent.

Li Jing in front of them hasn’t transformed either...

At this time, he opened his realm to display the Law Heaven and Earth, indicating that he is not the Fox Demon Empress, and not even a female.

Upon understanding the situation here, Xiang Yunxian’s face was incredibly expressive.

For two whole days.

She held onto Li Jing without letting go for a moment, even allowing him to take advantage of her.

Turns out, he...

Is a man!

Barely able to keep his composure, Yuan Hai suddenly knelt to the ground with a "thud".

???

Emperor of Heaven.

???

Fusheng and others.

???

Xiang Yunxian.

What’s wrong with him?

Quietly kneeling down...

Yuan Hai, however, didn’t bother to care about others at this moment, staring at a certain someone wide-eyed, trembling all over.

Seeing this, Li Jing revealed a toothy grin and made a "silence" gesture.

Yuan Hai had been fooled into the Little Universe as a "pig" to be slaughtered, how could he forget the scene inside the Little Universe?

He never expected.

He had come to Zhong Shen Zhou, yet he still met him.

Not only did he meet him, but he also hid deeply, disguised as a Fox Demon Empress...

This, isn’t it unexpected?

The key point was not Li Jing disguising as a Fox Demon Empress, but that he became a true-empress.

Not long ago, he even had to use deception to lure people into the Little Universe and then commit atrocities there due to the independent world.

Now...

Seeing the certain someone transforming into the Fox Demon Empress, showing him the "silence" gesture with a radiant smile, Yuan Hai glanced from left to right, and nodded like a pecking chicken.

On the other side.

Upon receiving the response, Li Jing looked up at the Emperor of Heaven.

"I’m giving you a chance, tell me everything I want to know, or I’ll wipe you out."

At these words, the expression of the Emperor of Heaven slightly darkened.

"Your imprisonment technique is indeed impressive, but if you think that this can ensure victory, you are seriously underestimating me."

"Tsk."

Li Jing smacked his lips, displeased.

"Why won’t this remnant soul of yours cry until it sees the coffin?"

Having said that, his face showed an impatient expression, lifted his hand, and lightly flicked a finger.

"Get him."

Upon the order, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh", five different streaks of light shot out from the deep part of Li Jing’s realm.

One of the dark streaks of light burst out from the realm and approached the Emperor of Heaven in an instant.

Then, a small Lolita with white fur, wielding a brutal wolf fang stick that was much longer than her height, swung it back.

Who knew how powerful her slender wrist was.

The stick swung out, shattering the space.

!!!

Emperor of Heaven.

Half-step Return to Origin!

Top-notch Taoist Artifact!

With just one glance, he could see the state of this white-haired Lolita and the standard of the wolf fang stick in her hand.

Without thinking much, he hastily raised his sword.

"Ting!"

The flying sword broke instantly.

The flying sword in the hand of the Emperor of Heaven is the Taoist tool of Nalan Longao.

Nalan Longao is dead.

The Taoist tool naturally became ownerless and no one was controlling it.

How powerful can a Taoist tool be when it has no owner and no one is controlling it?

When the sword clashed head-on with the wolf fang stick, what was the result?

The flying sword shattered, the Taoist tool in Wuming’s hand landed squarely on the chest of the Emperor of Heaven without any hindrance.

The Emperor of Heaven immediately grunted and quickly retreated.

But even if he retreated promptly, a large chunk of flesh was stripped from his chest.

At that moment.

A streak of green light from behind suddenly sped up, passing the others to instantly catch up with the retreating Emperor of Heaven.

The Spirit Weapon Qingfeng wielding the sword revealed its form, with a solemn face it swung a hacking strike.

"Puff!"

The sword gleamed suddenly.

A head was thrown into the air.

The Emperor of Heaven was severed from his body.

In the same instant.

Three streaks of light in the distant sky came to a halt one after the other.

The Spirit Weapon Snow Sound, holding its Taoist artifact body, revealed its form and played the strings of the zither lightly.

"Dong dong."

An endless blizzard accompanied the music, freezing the Emperor of Heaven who had just been beheaded in midair.

At the same time.

The Spirit Weapon Smoke Eye appeared next to Snow Sound, interlacing her bare hands to form several handprints.

"Boom!"

A loud rumble.

A huge wave fell from the sky, swallowing the frozen Emperor of Heaven and shattering him completely.

At this point.

Nalan Longao was completely gone.

The Emperor of Heaven, having lost his body, was forced to reveal himself in a pathetic form of remnant soul.

However, it wasn’t over yet.

The exquisitely carved Spirit Weapon Linglong, holding its original body, made its final appearance yelling, "Yah~Ha!" It heaved from a distance.

"Boom!"

The half-step Taoist artifact, Linglong Tower, immediately expanded, broke the space, teleported over, and swallowed the remnant soul of the Emperor of Heaven. It then burst forth with endless golden light, releasing an extraordinarily powerful Power of Forbidden.

Spirit Weapon Wuming and Spirit Weapon Qingfeng looked at each other and each took a step forward.

The next second.

Both of them entered the Linglong Tower.

After the two of them, Spirit Weapon Snow Sound also floated forward holding her original body and sat down in front of the Linglong Tower.

The Emperor of Heaven, who had not suffered substantial damage, twitched at the sight and rushed to plead.

"Stop! Spare me, heroine!"

The Unnamed Taoist Tool who was about to beat him with a wolf-tooth club, halted and twisted his head to look at Li Jing behind him.

But Spirit Weapon Qingfeng didn’t care so much, he lifted his hand and "whooshed" a sword.

The sword light tore the space.

Easily split the remnant soul of the Emperor of Heaven into two.

After slashing this sword, Spirit Weapon Qingfeng only then revealed a contented feeling and turned to look at someone with his sword raised.

"He said to spare him, heroine. It has nothing to do with me."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing, dumbfounded, waved his hand.

"Just keep beating him, just don’t kill him."

Getting this response, the eyes of Spirit Weapon Qingfeng brightened, and the big eyes of Unnamed Taoist Tool also shone brightly.

Ever since Li Jing became Emperor.

Even the most favored Unnamed Taoist Tool rarely got to be used. They were all quite stifled recently.

The key was that Li Jing didn’t need them most of the time.

It wasn’t easy for them to have a chance to appear, wasn’t it necessary to make the most of it?

At that moment, the two began to gleefully envelop the remnant soul of the Emperor of Heaven.

The remnant soul.

Of course, wasn’t that easy to die.

Spirit Weapon Qingfeng and Unnamed Taoist Tool were only using pure physical attacks, which the remnant soul could largely resist, and did not use their other abilities.

Snow Sound, being a musical instrument, was relatively weak and did not like to beat people with fists.

Seeing the excitement inside the tower, she blinked her eyes twice, lifted her hand and played the "breaking formation song" which was a secret from Xiang Yunxian’s Immortal Music Palace.

This song had a supplementary role.

It could assist in enhancing physical attacks.

In simple terms, it was "Boost physical attacks".

With the help of Snow Sound’s breaking formation song, Qingfeng and Unnamed Taoist Tool immediately gained strength. A flying sword and a wolf tooth club didn’t leave the Emperor of Heaven any chance to howl. His remnant soul was constantly being shattered and then re-condensed.

Under this situation, Smoke Eye chose not to participate.

She was not a main battle type artifact but a pure support type.

She didn’t have such a strong fighting impulse like Qingfeng and Wuming.

Her, who’s still only a Half-step Taoist Artifact, excelled more in using Qingyuan’s Mysterious Skill to confront the enemy.

But it was not possible for now.

Qingyuan’s Mysterious Skill was a very profound Magic Skill.

If not handled properly, it could completely wipe out the soul of the Emperor of Heaven.

As for Linglong, she wanted to join in but couldn’t. Her original body was being used to further seal the Emperor of Heaven, she couldn’t just rush into it herself, right?

If she became a Taoist artifact, it wouldn’t matter.

The problem was she wasn’t yet, and her little fists weren’t as hard as Qingfeng and Wuming’s.

In just the blink of an eye, the once haughty Emperor of Heaven fell into an incapable situation where he was left with only his remnant soul, and was still being beaten. Xiang Yunxian was dumbfounded at this sight.

This "righteous beating" came too suddenly.

But that’s not the point.

The key point was that these exquisitely crafted and native Spirit Weapons unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere.

Damn it!

Spirit Weapons beating people up!

Furthermore, they beat up the Emperor of Heaven who was stronger than an ordinary Imperial Sovereign!

Xiang Yunxian was dumbfounded.

Down below, Fusheng and others also looked stunned.

At this moment.

Li Jing looked down.

"What are you stunned for? Continue."

?

Fusheng and the other nine simultaneously had question marks over their heads.

Continue?

Continue what?

After being briefly stunned, Yuan Hai, who had a strong desire to survive after realizing someone’s true identity, reacted and reminded everyone.

"Li... oh no, Master Jiu means we should continue digging the graves."

Everyone came to their senses at these words, looked at each other, dispersed, and "got to work" on the spot.

The Emperor of Heaven had no more chances.

Looking at him get beaten was also meaningless.

If Master Jiu told them to continue digging, they would just dig!
