Chapter 1595: Endless Aurora, Like an Immortal Flood Descending!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Mengtu spoke word by word seriously.
His expression was also solemn, as though these words were very important to him.
This was a struggle for the Dao, where neither grudges nor life and death mattered.
The life of a cultivator, in truth, always followed this path: in the early stages, it was about survival; in the middle stages, it was about becoming stronger; but once reaching the higher realms, the Dao became the core focus.
His Dao couldn’t be tainted.
“I am Li Mengtu, a disciple of the Vast Immortal Lord of the Dao Immortal Sect.”
“I disdain scheming, and I disdain relying on the power of my clan or sect. Today, I will act alone and with my full strength, swearing to kill you to fulfill my Dao!”
Li Mengtu spoke in a deep voice.
At that moment, he was standing in the air. His black clothes swayed in the wind and his long hair fluttered. His eyes were bright as he looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing fell silent.
In his life, he had seen many kinds of people. Although there weren’t many people like Li Mengtu, there were still some.
Flame Mystic was essentially the same as Li Mengtu.
At the same time, he also saw the determination to fight for the Dao in the other party’s eyes. Hence, he slowly spoke.
“Xu Qing.”
Li Mengtu nodded and didn’t say anything else or ask further. The killing intent in his eyes instantly soared. He raised his right hand and pointed at the sky.
“Lightning!”
At the next instant, a deafening sound rang out from the sky. The sea of lightning that had dissipated under the fluctuations of the two people’s spells reappeared with a magnitude hundreds of times greater than before.
The rumbling sounds reverberated in all directions as silver lightning swept across the sky, covering a span of 500,000 kilometers in a heartbeat, then extending to five million kilometers, and continuing to expand.
It seemed infinite.
The lightning within this vast area converged into a massive sphere, enveloping the entire sky.
Thunder rumbled everywhere and the world changed color. It was as if the fury of the heavens had descended, and the roar of the great Dao echoed through the cosmos.
The sea of lightning arrived again.
Moreover, it wasn’t just the sky. At this moment, lightning rose from the ground and tore through the void, appearing on everything.
After they gathered together, a sea of lightning vortex appeared in the area of tens of millions of kilometers. The thunder was even more astonishing, like a heavenly tribulation!
Its aura was peerless.
It was Li Mengtu’s second authority, lightning!
Lightning embodied the essence of destruction and annihilation!
At that moment, amidst the rumbling, Li Mengtu, who was covered in lightning, was like the lightning lord of this world. Lightning also appeared on his body and connected to the sea of lightning. He pointed at Xu Qing.
Immediately, the sea of lightning roared and swept through the world, heading straight for Xu Qing.
Xu Qing’s pupils contracted.
He had seen many Rulers but he had never met someone with such a vast aura like Li Mengtu.
“As expected of a star!”
Xu Qing’s expression was solemn but he didn’t have the slightest intention of retreating. The other party had already said that this was a struggle for the Dao…
“Then, let’s fight!”
Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed. From the moment Peerless City disappeared, the path he had walked was one of relentless struggle!
Fighting for survival, seizing opportunities, and contending for the Dao of heaven and earth.
Hence, the pupil of his right eye turned blurry and was replaced by dao marks!
The erase authority’s dao marks erupted from his right eye. Everything in the range of his vision was wiped out!
The ground became blurry, the sky distorted, and ripples appeared in the void. The sea of lightning that flooded over was directly affected!
However, the lightning authority was an extreme form of destruction. Even with the presence of the erase authority, it still couldn’t be completely erased.
As it churned, it shone with a piercing light and emitted terrifying killing intent.
The dao marks in Xu Qing’s right eye instantly dissipated. His pupils stung and blood flowed out.
Even so, the power of erase authority still caused waves in the surging sea of lightning.
At that moment, its aura was weakened. Although it was still heading straight for Xu Qing, at the critical moment, a wisp of sword intent rapidly emerged in Xu Qing’s body.
It was the Emperor Sword.
The Emperor Sword flew out of the top of Xu Qing’s head and he took a step forward, grabbing it with his right hand.
The moment he held the Emperor Sword, the aura on his body also rose, forming a might that shook the starry sky, causing the lightning that was about to arrive to suddenly pause.
Xu Qing held the Emperor Sword and slashed forward.
The blurry ground emitted a roar. Endless earth energy rose and gathered in Xu Qing’s sword.
It transformed into the Sword of Earth!
Earth Depository Move!
The sword slashed through the sea of lightning.
The power of the earth was also like the sea, rumbling with the sea of lightning.
An intense fluctuation suddenly erupted the instant the two sides came into contact.
Amidst it all, numerous lightning spheres wove through the sword energy, appearing in front of Xu Qing. They rapidly approached and exploded one by one, forming lethal force.
Xu Qing performed a series of hand seals with both hands and continued to neutralize them, retreating amidst a series of rumbling sounds.
On the other side, the sword energy also penetrated the sea of lightning and appeared in front of Li Mengtu. When it rushed over, all the mirrors around Li Mengtu’s body were shining.
As he neutralized them one after another, he also performed a series of hand seals to block the sword might. During the process, he had to keep on retreating.
From afar, this scene seemed to be evenly matched.
In the midst of the battle, the sea of earth and the sea of lightning clashed against each other, forcing both of them to retreat.
However, Li Mengtu, whose cultivation was at the early stage of Ruler, as a star from the Li clan and a disciple of the Poison Lord, possessed methods far surpassing those of most Ruler. Thus, as he retreated, his eyes suddenly gleamed with silver light.
It was as though he had transformed into heavenly might as he spoke.
“Asking your body, do you have any internal injuries?”
“Asking your mind, what are your backup plans?!”
This was his third authority, Truth Decree!
This authority could question the heavens, the earth, the Dao, and all things in the world, posing any inquiry.
This authority exerted a deterrent power like a stern teacher’s ruler.
Under its interrogation, all must reveal the truth.
Refusal would result in a punishment from the Dao.
Whether one responded or not, one would be immobilized in that very moment—this immobilization encompassing the body, the soul, and the will.
When the decree landed, Xu Qing’s entire body trembled.
There seemed to be a terrifying force of intimidation, falling upon him, causing his body to become rigid, his soul to lose its function, and his memories to stir.
Almost in the instant when Xu Qing’s body and soul were affected, a cold glint flashed in Li Mengtu’s eyes. As he retreated, he swiftly formed seals with his hands.
He didn’t really want to ask Xu Qing these questions.
He didn’t care about the answers.
Regardless of where the person in front of him came from, who his master was, whether he had hidden injuries or had any backup plans, he didn’t care. What he wanted was the immobilization effect of his authority.
This would create an opportunity for him to kill!
Now, this opportunity had appeared.
Hence, he didn’t hesitate and directly used the trump card he had inherited from his master!
“Endless Aurora, like an Immortal Flood Descending!”
His master had many names, Virtue Viscount, Vast Immortal Lord, Immortal Flood Elder1, and the Poison Lord.
These names were not conjured out of thin air. To be precise, each name corresponded to a specific Dao art of the Poison Lord.
The title ‘Immortal Flood Elder’ represented the very technique that Li Mengtu now unleashed.
At that moment, as Li Mengtu performed a series of hand seals and spoke, the sky trembled.
The crimson aurora that flowed across the sky, even higher than the sea of lightning and spanning the entire limitless expanse of the Fifth Star Ring, was unexpectedly affected.
It wasnâ€TMt the entire aurora, but for the Fifth Star Ring, where the aurora reigned supreme, even influencing a portion of it required an astounding level of ability.
At that moment, the aurora surged!
The range was fifty kilometers!
Then, it separated.
The range was still the same.
The affected area was fifty kilometers wide. The aurora in this region seemed to be under control, as if it had been severed, and began to descend from the heavens.
It fell with overwhelming weight, carrying a pressure that shook the heart and mind, crashing down directly.
Like a flood, like a waterfall, like an ocean pouring from the sky.
The crimson light plummeted in an instant, and wherever it passed, the sea of lightning collapsed, and the sword intent disintegrated.
With just one strike, Xu Qing’s qi and blood churned. His entire body rumbled and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. His body then fell to the ground with great force.
His injuries weren’t light.
Even so, this injury allowed his body and soul, which had been affected by the decree earlier, to recover from the immobilization.
As his gaze fixed upon the scene, he saw the aurora within the fifty kilometers radius being pulled down, descending towards him with the intent to crush. The surroundings were engulfed in crimson light, resembling a sea of blood.
Li Mengtu was fifty kilometers away and didn’t get close. Clearly, even he was wary of this ability that guided the aurora.
Xu Qing felt an intense sense of life-and-death crisis at this time.
At the critical moment, he didn’t hesitate at all. The five elements authorities in his body erupted with all their might.
A year’s worth of recuperation, exploration, and the insights he had gathered from various places all manifested in an instant.
First, the element of wood surged forth, transforming into countless trees and plants that appeared out of thin air, covering the sky and blocking the aurora.
The wood realm collapsed in an instant, and as the aurora descended once more, Xu Qing formed hand seals. The collapsed wood element ignited, giving birth to towering flames that rose to block the aurora.
When the fire, bolstered by his power, reached its limit, Xu Qing’s thoughts shifted again. The fire transformed into Earth, forming a domain to further resist the falling light.
The eruption of the earth element didn’t last long, so at its peak, it transformed into metal.
Metal power surged up, as though it wanted to break through the sky.
However, the aurora was astonishing, causing the metal power to fail.
After metal reached its limit, it produced water.
The force of water surged to unprecedented levels, surrounding him with a vast ocean that spanned five million kilometers. This immense sea, beyond the comprehension of mortals, roared with turbulent waves.
As the waters spread out, the surface of the sea mirrored the sky above, creating a breathtaking and formidable scene.
As for the crimson aurora falling from the sky, what was reflected on the water surface was none other than the aurora.
This was to block it.
Finally, when the sea weakened, Xu Qing’s wood element emerged once again.
The five elements complemented each other, forming a cycle. In the end, the falling aurora was blocked layer by layer and couldn’t continue falling.
At the same time, the killing intent in Xu Qing’s eyes was intense. With a raise of his hand, he took out the remaining life seizing incense and branded it with Li Mengtu before lighting it. With the enhancement of the power of time, he opened his mouth and blew.
Immediately, the incense burned rapidly and was instantly exhausted.
Li Mengtu’s expression changed and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He couldn’t help but retreat and his heart was gloomy.
Xu Qing seized this opportunity and rushed forward. His spatial ability erupted and his speed was terrifying as he headed straight for Li Mengtu.
At the same time, the immortal art Dao mark in his left pupil circulated.
The power of the Six Thieves Delusions was directly formed.
Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal spell also activated.
After that, the Golden Crow rushed out and augmented Xu Qing, and the shadow also immediately moved to support Xu Qing.
This was still not enough for Xu Qing.
Without any hesitation, he took out the last sword energy from Ninth Grandpa.
He charged toward Li Mengtu!
Li Mengtu’s expression was incomparably solemn as he rapidly retreated.
