ROAR!!!
A bloodthirsty roar that promise endless slaughter and chaos echoed out. It was so loud that it cause the entire world and void to tremble uncontrollably. The already collapse mountain that the cave was in further collapsed into rumbles.
Several torrential streams of the blood fog serge to Mo Rong.
His face and hand had blackish-red veins that snake about under his skin. As he threw his head back and let out his roar the projection of a beast formed from the blood fog to mimic his actions. Dark miasma energy flowed out of Mo Rong to mix together with blood fog.
This beast was the amalgamation of a tiger and a bird with bull-like horns. It was utterly ugly, but the aura it was releasing was horrifying beyond belief.
As a portion of its upper body slowly formed, it was already three hundred meters large. No one can imagine just how large it would become when it completely forms.
Mo Rong was inside the head of this beast, his blood-red eyes that showed he lost all his mental faculties stared at Li Shen like a predator staring at its prey.
Li Shen’s face was pale as he stared back at Mo Rong with a solemn expression. His Qi Sea that was trapping him had been pushed back.
There was no way his hundred-meter Qi Sea could handle the size of that beast. He retracted it before it could suffer any significant damage that could affect his Constant Qi Circulation.
‘Is that what a Qiong Qi Divine Beast look like?’
Li Shen couldn’t help but ask himself as he saw the beast’s incomplete appearance.
‘Whatever it is, I can’t let it fully form. We would be all wiped out when it does. This Mo Rong, he absorbed the blood-red fog and went crazy from the pure killing intent inside of it. I-I can’t sense Fang Chen anymore.’
Li Shen was extremely nervous as he was no longer able to sense Fang Chen’s consciousness through so much killing intent.
Li Shen’s teeth clenched, he just had to believe in Fang Chen. Believe that he was waiting for them to save him, Fang Chen won’t stop resisting.
Before this Qiong Qi beast projection could fully form, Li Shen quickly flew and came to a stop above it.
Li Shen then left his hand above him. Immediately, pure Fire Qi from the surroundings heeded his call and a fire Sword Qi formed in the air. However, that wasn’t all, a water Sword Qi, a metal Sword Qi, a earth Sword Qi, and a wind Sword Qi also formed next to it.
They then enlarge to a size of sixty meters and began revolving at a high speed. The terrifying ripples from them could cause cultivators at the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm to shit their pants, and make those in the Late, as well as Quasi stage Core Formation realm, feel apprehension.
Li Shen’s face was even paler and his hands began to tremble. This was the first time he had pushed his Myriad Qi Creation Art to this extent. It was starting to take a toll on his Law and Qi manipulation.
He even had to use his Divine Will to help form and stabilize the five Sword Qi, which was something he didn’t need to do in normal circumstances.
After managing to form these Sword Qi, Li Shen let out a breath he was holding and he wavered in the air as if he was going to fall from the sky.
Li Shen was a monster-level genius, being able to battle Core Formation realm cultivators despite having a Foundation realm cultivation himself, was inconceivable to people in the cultivation world. If you tried to tell someone in passing they would outright laugh in your face.
He wasn’t the only one, Mu Fan, Jun, and Yang Su. Despite the fact that Fei Yin and Lihua haven’t shown their power till now, they were no weaker than Mu Fan and Jun.
One outstanding genius that could break the norm of the cultivation world to fight across a major realm was hard to believe, but six of them? In the same generation and not thousands of generations apart at that? Are you talking about some made up fairy tale?
But despite all of that, in this situation, that power seemed insignificant to stand up to Mo Rong.
It was extremely unfortunate, like their improvements up until now was for nothing. In front of overwhelming strength, even with their future potential, it was only that, future potential. They were still extremely weak.
However, does that mean Li Shen should give up?
Li Shen’s tittering body which looked like it was about to fall from the sky quickly recovered. He looked down at Mo Rong with a cold expression. The Five elemental Sword Qi behind him began to rotate even faster, causing the sky to be filled with five tornadoes.
In front of overwhelming strength, giving up never once cross Li Shen’s mind. He would scheme, plot, and do anything in order to bridge that gap. It just meant he had more room to grow.
But not alone.
“MASTER!”
Yang Su’s voice rang out, Li Shen looked to see him and the others approaching.
Before Li Shen could protest, a mental message from Yang Su sounded in his mind.
'Master, junior disciple brother has a way to separate Mo Rong’s consciousness from junior brother Chen’s body.'
Li Shen hearing this was surprised and he quickly turned his head to look at Jun.
Jun nodded and he said mentally.
‘I can sense brother Chen’s Karma String again. If I can make physical contact with him, then I can distinguish his and Mo Rong's Karma String and sever the Karma String between Mo Rong’s consciousness and brother Chen’s physical body.’
‘Are you sure?’
Li Shen asked.
Jun nodded with more confidence then said again.
‘Master, I did the same with Mu Fan’s attack. I severed the Karma String between his attack and him. It’s difficult to explain it, but I can really do it, I can save brother Chen. But with the dark miasma around him, I can’t get close. And little brother Tai said the space is destabilizing and his ability won’t work.’
Li Shen didn’t ask any more questions and only turn his focus back on Mo Rong. Not once had he moved, Mo Rong was just silently staring at them. A sort of calm insanity was about him.
Whether he was waiting for them to gather to finish them all at once, or simply that he was sure their attacks couldn't stop him from fully forming that projection. Either way, Li Shen won't hesitate to attack.
With Li Shen in the middle, the others came to his side. Everyone’s aura burst forth with momentum as they prepare for battle.
Li Shen suddenly lifted his hand and the ripples of one of the tornadoes above them increased.
Li Shen with hesitation dropped his hand.
BANG!
The Sword Qi shot towards Mo Rong, a torrential amount of Water Qi covering the entire world.
Lihua’s eyes flickered and her body began to glow with a resplendent blue radiance. Her hair floated and her blue robes fluttered, as she quickly raised her hand and pointed at Li Shen’s water Sword Qi.
The Water Qi ripples the Sword Qi was releasing increased by several folds, making its power more terrifying.
Yang Su didn’t hesitate and he added his own power as well, further boosting the Sword Qi's strength. Even a Quasi Nascent Soul realm cultivator would feel the scythe of the grim reaper hovering around their neck when faced with this attack.
ROAR!!!
The Qiong Qi suddenly raised its head and let out an enraged roar. Its front leg then left afterimages in the air despite its size, as it clawed towards the incoming Sword Qi.
BANG!!!
The impact of the clash caused the void to tremble, and Water Qi to flood the entire battlefield.
ROAR!
With another roar and a claw, the Water Qi in the surrounding was swept away.
Mo Rong was in the Qiong Qi beast's head, still staring silently at them.
Seeing that only a portion of the Qiong Qi projection had been destroyed and was even quickly recovering, everyone wore solemn expressions.
Li Shen, however, didn’t hesitate to act. He raise both hands in the air, and two of the remaining four Sword Qi resembling tornadoes began to tremble.
The Earth Sword Qi and the Metal Sword Qi began to fuse.
He said to everyone via mental message to calm them down.
‘We aren’t fighting to win, we’re fighting to give Jun an opening. As long as that projection is still forming, it won’t be able to move, it’s simply a sitting target.’
Li Shen brought his hands together as he struggled to combine the two Sword Qi.
Everyone dashed aside all the distractions they had in their hearts upon hearing Li Shen’s words.
Mu Fan didn’t hesitate and his Metal Qi left his body to float towards these combined swords, empowering the Metal Qi inside. Yang Su acted as well, and both his Earth Qi Divine Platform and Metal Qi Divine Platform shook, before Metal Qi and Earth Qi poured from him to the Sword Qi.
This time, Li Shen took a moment to consolidate the combined power of him and the others before attacking.
The power of this sword was even more terrifying than the previous one.
Mo Rong finally showed a reaction, and he suddenly raised his hand the moment Li Shen released the terrifying Sword Qi.
Qiang’s corrupt roots shot from the ground to form a shield in front of the Qiong Qi beast.
BANG!!
Another loud bang resounded out, but the result of the clash was that the roots blocked most of the attacks. Only a portion of the Qiong Qi beast's head was destroyed. That wasn’t enough.
“AGAIN!
Li Shen roared as he manipulated the last two elemental Sword Qi. The Wind and Fire Sword Qi.
Like before, Li Shen forcefully combined the two. As soon as the wind met the fire in the two Sword Qi, the fire around the sword grew stronger and it seemed as if a second sun had appeared in the sky.
It carried with it a heat that seemed as if it could melt the world.
Yang Su didn’t hesitate and his Wind Qi Divine Platform and Fire Qi Divine Platform shook.
His Wind Qi was like adding fuel to the already blazing fire. But as soon as his Fire Qi entered the sword, Li Shen felt his control of the sword slip for a moment.
“Ugh.”
Li Shen groaned, and at the same time the Sword Qi gained a deep crimson color.
Lihua, Fei Yin, Mu Fan, and Jun all shivered at the same time and they couldn’t help but raise their heads to look at this Sword Qi in shock and horror.
“W-What’s with this sword suddenly releasing such terrifying power?”
