Chapter 653 - 652 World Watcher, Battle Cang Tian

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye.

Ye Mengyao, now replenished with ample life wishes, exudes a dazzling golden light as she slowly opens her eyes.

At this moment, she is immaculate.

She embodies the countless lives’ desire for existence and the hope for the future. This enormous convergence of life wishes propels her to an indescribable level.

A power akin to a saintly position has manifested within her.

Any living being who sees her now would involuntarily feel the urge to bow in worship.

Sadly, though,

Ye Mengyao’s cultivation is still slightly lacking.

She does not have enough time to grow.

With all the life wishes that she could bear thus far, Mengyao looked up and then paused in surprise.

She had gathered so many life wishes.

Originally, she planned to flaunt them to Li Jing.

Look at your disciple!

Only after two and a half years of painstaking cultivation, she has reached this level. Don’t you think you should reward her well?

But, to Ye Mengyao’s surprise,

What she saw when she looked up,

was a vast expanse of void space.

The space above was utterly fragmented, no piece of it wholly intact.

At this moment, the law of space seemed to play no role whatsoever, and the shattered space appeared void, showing no sign of recovery.

Moreover,

Two streaks of light, one green and one red, were colliding in the void at a speed almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Every collision caused the void to tremble as if it could burst apart at any moment...

How to understand the term ’the clash of gods’?

This is it.

Ye Mengyao, who just a second ago intended to boast before Li Jing, suddenly felt profoundly insignificant.

If we put the extraordinary properties of life wishes aside, then the power that she spent two whole hours gathering was far less potent than the aftershocks of one collision between the two.

What’s even more astonishing to Ye Mengyao was,

Even though she couldn’t catch the figures of Li Jing and Nangong Qingshan, by just observing the straightforward collisions of two beams of light she could grasp their essence.

Both.

They were launching the most primitive and philosophical collisions with their bodies, without using any magic skills.

This... is this even conceivable?

Oh, right.

Nangong Qingshan was never a human.

And her master,

Has he ever really acted as a human?

Just as she was marveling at the spectacle, the two streaks of light, one green, one red, came to a halt.

Li Jing, whose blood qi was surging around him, and Nangong Qingshan, who was shining with a green light from head to toe, both revealed themselves.

The two were both bare-chested.

At this moment, it was as if they were both flaunting their physique.

Clear muscle lines could be seen all over their bodies.

Not to mention the eight-pack abs on each of them, their taut muscles shrank violently with each breath they took, thereby emitting waves of heat that twisted the void.

Who can resist this?

Forget about Ye Mengyao who is just over twenty,

Even if it’s someone two million years old.

As long as it’s a woman, she will be stunned.

We are all adults,

No need to pretend.

Who says women are not lustful?

With attractive faces,

Plus a solid six-pack.

You tell me you don’t want to look!

As Li Jing and Nangong Qingshan, who was a decrepit old man before but has now completely transformed into an older handsome man, turned their gazes towards her, Ye Mengyao unconsciously straightens up.

"Mengyao, it’s time," Li Jing said.

Hearing his voice, Ye Mengyao nodded, stood up, and turned to look at the Coffin of the Cang Tian.

She’s not a fool.

Let’s put Nangong Qingshan aside for now.

At this time, Li Jing seems to be in a highly excited state.

The surging blood qi is not as gentle as she usually feels from him. It has risen to an unimaginably extreme level.

The Fairy Realm, which hasn’t fully recovered from the loss of order, seems unable to restrict or accommodate him.

It did not require much thinking.

He fought with Nangong Qingshan to achieve this state.

With her hands folded over her chest, Ye Mengyao swiftly changes several hand seals and a spark flashes in her eyes.

"Heaven and Earth by Heart!"

With a soft shout,

A colossal and supremely beautiful female phantom emerged behind Ye Mengyao and slowly opened her eyes.

The next moment,

The wind and clouds changed.

Heaven and earth trembled.

A considerable amount of life wishes emanated from Ye Mengyao, rising upwards.

Simultaneously,

An unparalleled force of heaven and earth converged.

The space previously fragmented into nothingness from the battle between Li Jing and Nangong Qingshan was suddenly restored.

"Thump, Thump!"

Avbomimous throbbing sound echoed from the Cang Tian Coffin, invoking a terrifying, almost entirely tangible, sense of dread and heavenly power.

The Old World’s ruler, not yet fully awaken, responded to the threat.

However, this could not affect Ye Mengyao at this moment.

The power of all living beings is within her.

This gives her total immunity to the terrifying heavenly power that would ordinarily cause any creature to shudder in its presence.

At this moment,

She represents all the beings in the Immortal Realm!

"Shangqing Longevity."

Ye Mengyao whispered softly, her hands quickly forming seals, before she called out again.

"True Thunder! Descend!"

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion resounded through the sky.

A Shangqing True Thunder, completely composed of pure Qi, ripped apart heaven and earth with a vigorous vitality.

The inheritance of Yaochi, the Shangqing Longevity Method.

It cultivates longevity.

And masters the Thunder Skill.

The Thunder Skills mastered by the disciples of Yaochi differ from the rest. They cultivate the path of longevity in their own cultivation, rather than other characteristics.

Under the blessing of all living beings’ wishes.

At this moment, Ye Mengyao has fully invoked the Path of Longevity.

The thunder falls.

What appears to be a thunderbolt, in actuality, symbolizes the descent of the Path of Longevity!

The formidable Shangqing Longevity Method, viewed as the supreme inheritance of Yaochi, is, in fact, formidable precisely here.

Yet, even Li Jing, who has mastered the Shangqing Longevity Method, cannot do what is happening before him.

At this point.

All cultivators who major in the Path of Longevity in the entire world have a sense of resonance.

Someone has reached the peak of the Path of Longevity!

Even though it is only a transient peak.

Yet, this alone is enough to look down upon the entire world!

"Boom!"

The Shangqing True Thunder descends, instantly engulfing the Cang Tian coffin.

The Path of Longevity contained within vaporizes the floating island in a fraction of a second, forcibly knocking the terrifying Cang Tian coffin into the depths of the Ghostly Returning Ruins.

"Crack."

A faint cracking sound suddenly echoed.

A corner of the Cang Tian coffin shattered, and then the rest started to follow.

Even though it’s a treasure from the primordial times.

It could not withstand the bombardment of a complete path that has evolved over endless ages.

Not to mention this path is the Path of Longevity, a pathway that all cultivators, past and present, dabble in and yearn for.

Indeed.

The Path of Longevity is a specialty of the Yaochi disciples.

But who doesn’t cultivate for the sake of longevity?

Ultimately,

Cultivation seeks to attain longevity and immortality.

"Smash!"

The Cang Tian coffin exploded mid-air, revealing a handsome young man that had a human-like figure, but had six black tentacles on his back, and a golden sun mark on his forehead.

Without the protection of the Cang Tian coffin, the young man faced the direct bombardment of the Path of Longevity.

In just an instant.

Cracks started to appear on his flesh body uncontrollably.

Next second.

The one, who seemed to be half-asleep with closed eyes, suddenly opened his eyes. The six black tentacles intertwined in front of him forming a shield, forcefully resisting the Path of Longevity that was hanging in the air.

Upon seeing this, Ye Mengyao’s beautiful eyes widened.

No way!?

The complete Path of Longevity...

has been resisted.

At this point.

The young man cast a blank look in her direction.

Locking eyes with him, Ye Mengyao, who was already out of strength and barely hanging on, felt as if she was plunged into an ice cellar.

A primal fear, like a tidal wave, washed over her.

"Ant."

The young man stretched out a finger, pointed in her direction and a sliver of golden radiance pierced through space and void and shot towards her.

!!!

Ye Mengyao.

In the blink of an eye, a grand figure appeared and scooped her up, then gently slapped out with one hand.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the golden radiance, which had neared Ye Mengyao’s forehead, was smacked away, falling into the boundless Ghostly Returning Ruins.

Having survived a calamity, Ye Mengyao could feel her heart pounding wildly.

Seeing Li Jing, her savior whose blood qi was booming and who remained expressionless, her heart thumped even harder.

"Good job."

A gentle voice sounded.

Upon seeing that warm smile, Ye Mengyao unconsciously blushed.

Just as she was about to speak, he pushed her aside.

Nangong Qingshan arrived, took Ye Mengyao, nodded at Li Jing, and stepped in with her into the field opened by Li Jing.

Brought into the Little Universe, Ye Mengyao quickly stretched her neck to peer at the outside world.

But just then,

Li Jing closed the field.

Unable to see the outside situation, she was instantly a little anxious.

"Do not worry, you have done what you needed to do, leave the rest to the Master Li,"

Nangong Qingshan spoke, helping her settle down on the island in the middle of the lake.

Upon hearing his words, Ye Mengyao turned to look at him instinctively.

"Elder Nangong, can my master... win?"

"I don’t know."

Nangong Qingshan shook his head and said,

"But if he can’t win, no one in the entire Immortal Realm can."

...

Ghostly Returning Ruins.

Li Jing stood in the air, staring at the young man.

Ye Mengyao has entered the Little Universe.

The Immortality Avenue, affected by this pull and lack of strength, has no more power to form an impact and is fading away.

Li Jing is examining the youth, and the youth is examining him.

They stare at each other.

Li Jing speaks.

"Master of the old world, Cang Tian?"

The youth hears this and smiles wickedly.

"Cang Tian? That brings back nostalgic memories."

As he speaks, he raises his palm and shatters most of the disappearing Immortality Avenue, taking control of the sky and rising to a position where he and Li Jing are on the same level, just inches apart, and looks at him twice.

"Interesting, for a member of the Human Race, a tiny ant, you’ve reached the realm of the Big World watcher. Has the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist simply run out of suitable candidates now?"

Before his words have fallen.

There is a loud rumble above the sky, as the Heavenly Punishment rips apart the universe.

Cang Tian frowns and looks up.

Just one glance.

The Heavenly Punishment disappears mid-air.

At the same time.

Li Jing was surprised to find that the formerly displayed??? title had changed, revealing three golden characters.

Watcher.

At the same time this title appeared, all of his senses suddenly changed, as if everything in the Big World was leaping for him.

The full-level technique of controlling the universe with his mind, at this moment, seemed to have lost its meaning entirely.

If he wants to.

All of the Big World, everything, can be used by him.

Just like the rule of Heavenly Punishment, he controls.

All the power of the Big World that has a tangible form, upon seeing him, urges him to use them.

Li Jing undergoes this change, and Cang Tian sensed it immediately.

He immediately showed a somewhat astonished expression.

"You... have not realized what level you have achieved?"

Li Jing, who was just feeling his new state, blinked twice and gave a grin.

"Thank you."

"..."

Cang Tian fell silent, then scoffed coldly.

"So what if I have solved the Heavenly Mystery? You, you’re too weak! This future Big World is incomplete! Within these limitations, how much can you... "

Before he finished speaking, a big foot affectionately greeted his stomach.

"Boom!"

Blood Qi soars to the sky.

Cang Tian doesn’t even have time to grunt before he is torn through a mass of space and plunges into the depths of the Ghostly Returning Ruins with a sonic boom.

Just in an instant.

He had plunged to the bottom of the Ruins.

The ground at the bottom of the Ruins, its construction was unknown.

Taking the impact of Cang Tian’s fall, it is intact, not even a dent.

Upon this.

Cang Tian, who had inadvertently taken a kick, stopped himself from falling, stood up slowly with a gloomy face.

At the same time.

Li Jing appeared not far away in an almost teleportation-like manner, casually pulling out the Unnamed Taoist Tool.

"The Big World has limitations, I can’t exert all my power, are you any different? All said and done, you as the master of the old world are nothing more than an existence with a peculiar form."

Cang Tian scoffed coldly at his words.

"You don’t seem to understand the difference between the sky and ants?"

While speaking, he gestures in the air to condense a black long spear.

"Even if you are a Watcher of the Big World, an ant is still an ant! And I, am the Sky!"

"Stop kidding around, you’re only slightly stronger than those ghostly things living in the void."

Li Jing sneered, holding the Unnamed Tool straight and pointing at him.

"Sky, I’ve never seen such a weak one."

Cang Tian fell silent, his expression growing colder.

Indeed, he was no longer considered the Sky.

He hasn’t been since he fell from grace in the past.

But when Li Jing told him he was weak, even comparing him to those lowly beings in the void, he successfully infuriated him.

"Boom!"

Without saying a word, Cang Tian moved, instantaneously shifting with his long spear in hand, his face cold, he struck like a bolt of lightning.

Li Jing was not afraid, not dodging or avoiding, he swung the Unnamed tool straight out.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Li Jing’s chest was pierced by Cang Tian’s long spear, the tough physical protection that could easily take a Taoist item was broken.

Cang Tian doesn’t get off lightly either.

The tough, savage Unnamed Taoist Tool greeted his head, with both destructive and ruinous rules working together, it destroyed half of his entire head.

Watching as Li Jing’s chest was pierced without even lifting an eyelid, Cang Tian immediately withdrew.

Li Jing did not pursue, he lowered his head to look at his chest which was slowly healing.

He couldn’t recall how long it had been since he’d been seriously injured.

It is not to mention after he had become saintly in the flesh.

Even before consuming the Immortal Medicine, he hardly ever bled in combat with others.

Today.

One could say, his run was finally "broken".

But that’s ok.

It doesn’t hurt.

From Ling Ling, came abundant vital energy, it ignored the powerful power of Cang Tian’s long spear and healed his injuries at a visible speed.

Looking up, Li Jing glanced at the health bar above Cang Tian’s head.

His health bar.

It still said ???.

But after Ye Mengyao’s all-out strike, it had lost about one-fifth.

He can lose health.

Therefore, he can be killed.

His stick just now also took off a little bit of it.

He can lose health.

"Isn’t that easy to say?"

A gleam flashed in Li Jing’s eyes.

"Rumble!"

Thunder exploded.

Thousands of pitch-black heavenly punishment tore the sky and earth, falling onto Li Jing, merging into his body, and being used by him.

Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds, ninth stage.

Seeing that Li Jing could manipulate heavenly punishment, Cang Tian, who had recovered from his head injury, was slightly stunned, then laughed scornfully.

"Indeed, it’s unexpected that you can control heavenly punishment. However, if I am not affected by heavenly punishment from the great path, what can ordinary heavenly punishment do..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Jing transformed into the heavenly punishment and abruptly moved closer with a speed that was more absurd than teleportation, causing Cang Tian to pause and change his expression.

The next second.

A big foot mercilessly attacked his lower body.

A man’s pain.

Cang Tian didn’t have that.

Because he wasn’t human at all.

However, Li Jing’s physical body was peerless, and the tremendous force brought by a kick was not something that could be endured casually.

With a muffled grunt, Cang Tian, surrounded by lingering images, was blown away, smashing large pieces of space in his path.

A street fight.

Taking advantage of your sickness to kill you is a constant principle.

Li Jing didn’t give Cang Tian any chance to catch his breath. He swung his hand and threw the Unnamed Taoist Tool with tremendous might.

"Boom!"

The Unnamed Taoist Tool transformed into a tribulation thunder, instantly hitting Cang Tian and shattering his chest, giving him a chilling feeling.

Encountering heavy attacks one after another, Cang Tian was furious and angry.

"You insignificant ant! You should..."

Before the word ’die’ could be uttered, a blue swordlight bloomed at the bottom of the Ghostly Returning Ruins, then soared into the sky, instantly transforming into a terrifying sword shadow millions of meters high and falling with earth-shattering force.

Seeing this, Cang Tian frowned and resolutely sent out the halberd in his hand.

However, as the sword shadow was about to collide with the halberd, a void appeared under the sword shadow.

This unexpected change happened so suddenly that Cang Tian had no time to react.

His halberd was swallowed by the endless void before he could react, yet Li Jing’s sword shadow ignored the void and fell.

"Boom!"

The unparalleled sword shadow instantly crushed Cang Tian from head to toe into dust.

However, the next second.

He appeared intact in the distance, even the wound pierced by the Unnamed Taoist Tool on his chest had recovered.

The sword shadow fell into the ruins without causing any disturbance to the ground, and Li Jing appeared wielding his sword.

"I admit that you have some abilities, but this... it’s not enough."

Cang Tian spoke indifferently.

Li Jing didn’t speak, but merely gave a casual glance at the health bar above his head.

It had decreased a bit more.

He was sure.

The sword strike just now did hit the target, but it didn’t cause any actual damage.

The one that caused damage was the strike from the Unnamed Taoist Tool.

Lowering his head to look at the Flying Sword Blue Edge in his hand, which was buzzing as if wanting to fly out and slash Cang Tian, Li Jing casually put it back into the Small Universe.

He had a tentative conclusion.

When facing beings like the master of the old world, ordinary Taoist items can’t harm them.

The root cause.

Should lie in the rules manipulated by the Taoist items.

Compared with the Unnamed Taoist Tool which simultaneously manipulates the rules of shattering and destruction, although the rules controlled by the Flying Sword Blue Edge were not bad, they fell short in terms of nature apart from the void rule, which could not cause direct damage.

The Unnamed Taoist Tool was, after all, the weapon of one of the ancient gods of the descendants of the Ancient God in the past.

And this god.

Fought against heaven.

Although he failed and fell, he must have made a lot of preparations beforehand, and the Unnamed Taoist Tool was undoubtedly one of them.

It’s tricky.

With so many Taoist items, it seems that only the Unnamed Taoist Tool can be used at the moment.

But that’s not a big problem.

As of today.

Li Jing no longer relies on Taoist items.

Heaving a sigh, he summoned the Unnamed Taoist Tool, and released the blood qi that he had always suppressed.

Yes.

Although his blood qi was surging to the extreme, he was actually suppressing himself all the time.

For the full two hours when he had a "philosophical" clash with Nangong Qingshan, he never aimed for a mere warm-up, but to integrate the Blood Rage effect that could rise endlessly into the soaring.

Constraints removed.

With a loud "boom," the fierce blood qi rushed into the sky, shattering a large piece of space.

Where Li Jing stood, the space twisted for a moment.

This.

Was a sign that his power exceeded the limit that the immortal domain could accommodate under the restriction of missing rules, and the heavenly path defaulted to sending him away.

Missing rules.

The Immortal Realm has no possibility of ascending.

But this does not mean that after truly reaching the limit, one is not sent to a higher level.

The Blood Rage, which had little presence for Li Jing for a long time, had really excellent effects.

Due to the limitations of the missing rules, even though he broke free of the realm’s shackles, he retained a strength far exceeding the Immortal King Realm, yet no matter what, he couldn’t exert a strength that exceeded the limit of the Immortal Realm.

It’s not that he didn’t want to exert this power.

Rather, after reaching a certain level, he couldn’t use it.

But the Blood Rage’s BUFF mechanism that allows for infinite augmentation by using blood qi as combat forcefully broke all limitations.

At this moment, Li Jing.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he exploited a BUG in the Immortal Realm.

Although he, who was already a Saint in body, was little affected by the rule limitations, there was still an actual effect.

The most evident was.

Even though he had become a Saint physically, he couldn’t exert even one percent of the combat strength that a physical Saint should have, he could only barely use some of the special attributes of his body after becoming a physical Saint.

But now the situation hadn’t changed.

However, having exceeded the limit of the Immortal Realm’s endurance, he truly posed a threat to Cang Tian.

Just then.

Seeing that Li Jing had released his blood qi constraints, Cang Tian’s expression changed when the heavenly path almost forcibly sent him away.

"What kind of monster... are you?!"
