Li Palace was, after all, just a small sect. How could they have seen a genius with such a level of talent?
For a monstrous talent like this, even if you had him, you wouldn't be able to keep him; he would definitely be taken away by those super sects with Immortal Emperor level overlords.
And for two such individuals to appear at once was something they had never witnessed in their lives!
But he quickly realized that no matter how good this kid's talent was, he was just a junior who had just broken through to the Golden Core stage, a whole major realm below him!
Cultivators were not demonic beasts; it wasn't that easy to kill an enemy who was a whole major realm higher.
"Heh heh! The ones I hate the most in my life are you damned geniuses! Killing you here will surely make your elders heartbroken, hahahaha!"
Liu Chen, who had been lying down the entire time, pushed himself up with his hands, and a blood-colored bell appeared in his grasp!
The appearance of this bell caused the restless evil energy in the air to become even more concentrated!
He glared at Li Qingyun with a distorted face, shaking the bell in his hand: "Geniuses' common flaw is their arrogance, always thinking they are invincible. Die for me!"
"Ding~~~"
As the bell chimed, the air vibrated, and an impact force directly struck Li Qingyun.
The Azure Lotus that Li Qingyun summoned was directly dispersed, and his mind became chaotic.
This bell was also refined by Liu Chen using corpse energy and blood energy.
The sound waves it emitted could confuse the mind and disperse the opponent's spiritual power.
Furthermore, those blood slaves and ghosts would fall into a frenzied state!
Seeing Li Qingyun suspended in mid-air, appearing stunned, Liu Chen revealed a sinister smile. A monstrous talent with heaven-defying potential was nothing more than this!
He had once been a dignified Void Returning stage expert!
Although he had fallen due to some reasons, he didn't want to be a stepping stone for these monstrous talents!
However, just as he was controlling some ghosts to tear at Li Qingyun, five-colored divine light erupted from Li Qingyun's body.
The Chaos Divine Lotus within Li Qingyun automatically triggered, instantly dispelling all abnormal states and allowing his eyes to regain clarity.
Liu Chen was stunned for the umpteenth time; his eyes bulged out!
"Damn it! Chaos Divine Lotus!!"
His eyes turned red with jealousy, and he was grinding his molars!
This was an Immortal Artifact! In the cultivation world, it was something that could stir up a bloody storm; even Immortal Kings would fight for such a treasure!
The magical artifacts used by Immortal Emperors were called Emperor Artifacts.
The Chaos Divine Lotus, on the other hand, was a natural Immortal Artifact that could continuously grow and, upon reaching a certain level, could evolve into the [Creation Azure Lotus]. Therefore, this item was worth more than ordinary Immortal Artifacts!
Li Qingyun then performed an action that stunned everyone: he directly picked up the giant Enlightenment Tree and hurled it towards Liu Chen!
Luo Xiaowei and Qin Xiaoxiao also widened their eyes. Such a violent use of it would only be fitting for Big Teng!
"Holy crap! Is this how the Enlightenment Tree is supposed to be used?"
"He must have been corrupted by Big Teng!"
What Li Qingyun was thinking was that when he broke through to the Golden Core stage, the soul of the Enlightenment Tree could emerge on its own to help him withstand the heavenly tribulations. Wouldn't that mean this thing was actually incredibly powerful?
He had previously only used the power of the Enlightenment Tree to forcibly extract power from the surrounding plants, or to help himself enter a state of enlightenment. His development of this item was still in its early stages.
With his current strength, he couldn't use the Chaos Divine Lotus; it could only function as a passive skill, activating whenever it pleased.
The soul of the Enlightenment Tree, however, was different. He felt this could be used as a weapon!
"Damn beast! Die for me!"
"Boom!"
As the Enlightenment Tree smashed down, the scene was indeed spectacular. Although it was just a phantom, it unleashed a burst of green light pollution.
Liu Chen, like a toad, grabbed the ground with his limbs and leaped away.
Although he was hit and sustained minor injuries, Li Qingyun's output was insufficient.
Due to prolonged deification, his body had undergone severe mutations, and he was now a reptile.
In a horror movie, he would definitely be a character with excellent effect.
"Damn it! Such a divine artifact as the Chaos Divine Lotus, placed in your hands is a terrible waste! After today, it will be mine!"
Liu Chen twitched slightly, sharp spikes growing from his back, and his fingers elongated into black claws. In an instant, he transformed into a black streak of light, tearing through the air and appearing before Li Qingyun.
The vast demonic energy startled Li Qingyun, but he still did not retreat.
Holding the Enlightenment Tree, he forcefully collided with Liu Chen, and then the entire person, along with the phantom of the ancient tree, was sent flying backward.
By enduring the blow from the Enlightenment Tree, Liu Chen's dark aura weakened slightly, but it was inconsequential. He could easily kill this damned fellow.
Just as he was about to pursue, Bai Nianchen in the distance saw black and white energies surge in his eyes.
A few drops of blood fell from his finger onto the formation disk, and the killing intent intensified.
"Azure Dragon Power!"
The Azure Dragon, which had been entangled with the blood slaves, seemed to have been summoned. It let out a roar and directly entered Li Qingyun's body.
Instantly, a boundless, inexhaustible power radiated from within him.
Li Qingyun couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy hell! This formation can be used like this?"
Bai Nianchen's face grew even paler, and he shouted, "Junior Li Qingyun! This humble Taoist can't hold on for much longer, please defeat him!"
Feeling the power surging within him, Li Qingyun's eyes also brimmed with killing intent!
"Please rest assured, Daoist!"
Carrying the Azure Dragon Power, Li Qingyun's cultivation surged towards the late Golden Core stage, his strength greatly increased!
"Let's see how long you can last! One Son of the Great Dao, one Innate Dao Body, today you will both become my sustenance!"
Then, one blue and one black, two figures repeatedly collided in the air, each collision accompanied by the blooming of numerous azure lotuses.
However, the price for empowering Li Qingyun was that Luo Xiaowei and the others faced greatly increased pressure!
Three Golden Core stage blood slaves, with bared teeth and claws, pursued Luo Xiaowei.
Luo Xiaowei roared, "Daoist! Give me a Dao buff too! Daoist! I'm under a lot of pressure, more than Li Qingyun!"
Bai Nianchen's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his lips trembled as he said, "Junior Luo, you must rely on yourself! This humble Taoist cannot control two Four Symbols of the Spirit entering the body simultaneously!"
Qin Xiaoxiao, seeing Luo Xiaowei being chased by those disgusting blood slaves, was also extremely anxious. She directly threw the formation disk in her hand towards Bai Nianchen!
"Daoist Bai! Control it yourself! I'm going to help!"
Looking at the formation disk that had suddenly flown to him, Bai Nianchen was bewildered.
"???"
Damn it, can't you understand human language? This humble Taoist can't control so many...
Ah well, this old man will go all out!
