Chapter 193 : Absolutely Will Not Accept
Chapter 193: Absolutely Will Not Accept
“I must break their joint attack!”
“Otherwise…”
Li Yunqing’s thoughts raced rapidly. The three stood in separate directions, blocking every possible path of evasion.
She could not escape, nor could she dodge.
Moreover, compared to Eighth Realm experts who could pierce through the void and move with overwhelming speed and power, ordinary techniques were useless against them.
Only a counterattack—and it had to be the strongest possible one, a single strike capable of severely injuring them—would offer even a sliver of hope.
“Buzz!”
Within Li Yunqing’s body, the Nirvana Flame burned. Her Pure Yin Dao Body, Five Elements Dao Body, Greater Yin Sword Embryo, and Immaculate Immortal Body were all activated.
They rapidly repaired her injuries.
At the same time, her entire being connected with the Heavenly Momentum and Earthly Ley Lines, as vast spiritual energy surged toward her like a tidal wave.
Her Dao Self, True Self, and Past Self joined forces, supporting her body.
In the next moment, resisting the suppression of the three, she suddenly raised her hand and struck toward one of the Kings.
“Rumble!”
Heaven and earth roared as immense might surged.
A gigantic palm appeared out of thin air, wrapped in chaotic energy, directly enveloping the massive cauldron.
“Buzz!”
The cauldron vanished instantly, as if swallowed by that giant hand.
Without stopping, the hand slammed toward the old man controlling the cauldron.
Before it even reached him, a terrifying suction force erupted from the palm.
Sword World in the Palm.
A Sword World in the Palm connected to the might of heaven and earth.
Though it might not be enough to kill a King, it could at least trap him for an instant.
“Boom!”
Heaven and earth trembled as the giant hand covered the old man controlling the cauldron, making him vanish from the world.
Li Yunqing did not hesitate. With a thought, a massive eye appeared above her head.
Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
At this moment, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment seemed rooted within the heaven and earth of the Fallen Immortal Land, merging with the entire world.
Endless spiritual energy gathered, churning like dark clouds above it, before pouring entirely into the eye.
“Heavenly Thunder! Punish Evil!”
Li Yunqing shouted softly, as the laws and Dao Power within her inner world also surged into the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
“Rumble!”
Vast lightning poured down like a waterfall.
It illuminated the entire plaza.
As if the heavens were enraged, endless thunder erupted from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
“What is this thing?”
“It can actually connect with the power of heaven and earth across the Absolute Domain!”
“Not good!”
The King wielding the shield cried out in alarm, instinctively retreating.
But he discovered that the Eye of Heavenly Punishment had locked onto him completely.
There was nowhere to retreat, nowhere to dodge—he could only resist!
“Rumble!”
Endless lightning surged down like an inverted galaxy.
Without hesitation, he controlled his shield to hover above his head, his heart pounding in terror.
Li Yunqing had too many methods.
Every move defied expectations.
She had even already killed three Kings.
At this moment, he dared not show the slightest carelessness.
“Boom…”
Endless heavenly lightning poured down, inexhaustible, instantly tearing apart the heavy shield.
The next moment, the vast lightning struck the King directly.
“Ah!”
Locked by the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, he had no escape and could only endure it.
But the moment it touched him, the lightning made him scream in agony.
Even as he continuously used divine abilities and weapons to resist, it was useless against the lightning infused with the might of heaven and earth.
Especially with the support of Li Yunqing’s inner world laws, this lightning also severed life itself.
It even seemed to carry a silent power of time within it.
Seeing this, Li Yunqing did not hesitate in the slightest.
Her expression remained calm to the extreme, terrifyingly composed, as she decisively turned and charged toward the last King—the one controlling the pagoda.
At that very moment, a massive seal appeared above her head.
The seal was filled with laws, and within it, endless mountains and rivers seemed to awaken like true dragons.
It connected with the mountains, rivers, and land of the Fallen Immortal Land, drawing upon the might of heaven and earth.
With overwhelming force, it seemed to freeze space itself as it smashed toward the King controlling the pagoda.
Human King Seal!
“Not good!”
Seeing the King engulfed in lightning screaming in terror, the one controlling the pagoda immediately recalled it.
But the moment he raised it above his head, he felt an immeasurable force descend from above.
“Crack crack crack…”
The pagoda exploded, fragments scattering in all directions.
“What kind of monstrous power is this?”
Watching the pagoda shatter, terror appeared on his face.
He felt as if an entire world had condensed within that seal, carrying unmatched force to suppress everything.
Even space was frozen by its weight.
Everything before it would be crushed to pieces.
That power made his heart tremble.
“Block it for me!”
He roared, releasing another stream of divine light from above his head, forming a rotating treasure umbrella.
Endless laws spread from it.
“Bang!”
But in the next instant, the umbrella shattered.
The massive seal, like an entire world, only dimmed slightly before continuing its descent with unstoppable force.
“Boom!”
The seal landed, and the earth trembled.
The sounds of bones shattering and flesh collapsing followed immediately.
Blood splattered in all directions.
“Buzz!”
At that moment, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment in the sky dissipated into smoke.
The Human King Seal pressing upon the earth also faded away.
Her accompanying Dao artifacts had only just been formed—though they gathered all the laws of her inner world, the time had been too short.
Even with the connection to the might of the Fallen Immortal Land, they could only unleash a single strike.
Even so, the two Kings who had been attacked were both severely injured.
One was engulfed in lightning, his body charred like burnt coal, his aura faint and flickering.
The other was crushed by the Human King Seal, his bones shattered and flesh torn—though still alive, he was gravely wounded.
“Strike while they’re weak and finish them!”
Just as Li Yunqing was about to act, she suddenly saw the Five Elements Sword World in the distance explode.
An old man stepped out unharmed.
“Useless trash!”
Seeing the two Kings severely wounded, the old man snorted coldly and waved his hand.
A terrifying fist imprint flashed.
The two heavily injured Kings exploded instantly, their auras extinguished.
Body and soul annihilated!
“What a scheme!”
Seeing this, Li Yunqing was startled.
It was not that her Sword World in the Palm had trapped the old man—he had done it deliberately.
Thinking about it, it made sense. An Eighth Realm King capable of easily piercing space could not possibly be trapped so easily.
Clearly, he had used those two Kings to further exhaust her strength, unwilling to take risks himself.
Most likely, he intended to monopolize the Immortal King Technique on her—
and even her as well!
“How much power do you have left?”
“How many methods remain?”
The old man’s aura surged, the pressure of an Eighth Realm King pouring fully onto Li Yunqing.
The terrifying force pressed down like a mountain upon her head.
A massive cauldron hovered above, wrapped in laws, exuding an aura that suppressed all things.
“Rumble!”
The ground beneath Li Yunqing roared and cracked apart, forming a deep pit in an instant.
“Pfft!”
She spat out blood, her aura rapidly weakening.
Her methods were exhausted, her accompanying Dao artifacts nearly dissipated—she had little strength left.
Within her inner world, endless laws churned chaotically.
Without sufficient Dao Power and without the regulation of her Dao Self, True Self, and Past Self, everything had fallen into disorder.
“Hand over the Immortal King Technique, and I can spare your life!”
Seeing her state, sensing the chaos within her, the old man finally let out a breath of relief.
A Sixth Realm cultivator had fought to the death against three Kings and severely injured two more.
Such methods filled even him with fear.
If not for using those two to exhaust her further, he would not have dared approach.
Especially that unavoidable Immortal King Technique.
He still feared she might unleash another unexpected move.
“It’s over…”
Around the plaza, everyone’s hearts sank to the bottom.
Looking at Li Yunqing suppressed beneath the cauldron, silence fell.
No one spoke.
Many did not even dare look at her blood-covered figure.
Under the suppression of the Nine Lands Absolute Domain, resistance was nearly impossible.
Of course, that was also because they were too weak.
If they had Seventh or Eighth Realm strength, they could at least resist.
But now, in the entire world, only Li Yunqing had reached the Sixth Realm—and even Fifth Realm cultivators were few.
How could they fight back?
“You want the Immortal King Technique?”
“Come take it!”
Li Yunqing spoke softly, bracing herself with one hand and forcing herself to stand.
She looked calmly at the old man.
Blood dripped from her body.
Her purple garments were completely dyed red.
Even the skin on her neck and hands was covered in blood droplets.
Suppressed by an Eighth Realm King, even one restrained by this world, the power was overwhelming.
Far beyond what a Sixth Realm cultivator could endure.
Without her inner world’s Dao artifacts and Immortal Techniques, injuring them would have been impossible—let alone killing them.
“Heh, putting on a show!”
The old man chuckled, but did not approach. His eyes remained wary.
“What tricks do you have left?”
“A Sixth Realm cultivator killing three Kings and severely injuring two—such achievements would mark you as a peerless prodigy even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.”
“I don’t believe you still have the strength to use an Immortal Technique!”
Immortal Techniques consumed enormous power.
Especially an Immortal King Technique.
No matter how strong she was, after such prolonged battle and one use of it, her strength should be exhausted.
Especially fighting above her level—the consumption would multiply.
“Buzz!”
Li Yunqing said nothing.
Her body merged with heaven and earth, connecting to the Heavenly Momentum and Earthly Ley Lines.
Vast spiritual energy surged into a storm, forming a massive vortex that poured into her.
Behind her, the great full moon had dimmed.
Its interior was in chaos.
It too was slowly absorbing spiritual energy.
Clearly, this battle had drained her immensely.
The remaining strength was insufficient even to sustain her inner world.
All methods had been exhausted.
“Hmph!”
Seeing her attempt to recover, the old man snorted coldly.
In the next moment, the massive cauldron trembled and pressed down further.
“Boom!”
The ground beneath her sank several zhang.
Her entire body was forced down.
She spat out another mouthful of blood.
The earth beneath her feet was dyed red.
“Trying to recover?”
The old man sneered.
“My patience is limited!”
“If you dare play tricks again, I don’t mind stripping your clothes—or right here, in front of everyone, letting you truly become a woman.”
Hearing this, Li Yunqing’s expression changed slightly.
She feared nothing—
except this.
At that moment, rage surged within her, yet she was powerless.
Her strength was nearly depleted.
Without the support of her Dao Self, True Self, and Past Self, she would not even be able to stand.
Eighth Realm Kings were simply too powerful.
If she were in the Seventh Realm, things would not have come to this.
“So tired…”
A deep sorrow filled her heart.
Her entire body ached.
This was the first time she had experienced such a terrifying battle.
Facing nine Kings alone, fighting until nearly exhausted.
The consumption was beyond imagination.
She once believed that as long as she was strong enough, she could ignore everything.
But now she realized—
unless she was strong enough to be invincible, strong enough to suppress everything with a single hand,
there would always come a moment when she fell short.
And this was only the Fallen Immortal Land.
Beyond it lay the Nine Heavens and Nine Lands, filled with countless powerful beings.
“I’m still not strong enough…”
“My methods are still insufficient…”
Li Yunqing slowly lifted her head, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings.
She saw Xiaolan, tears streaming down her face, covering her mouth tightly, afraid to make a sound.
Beside her were Ying Qianqian and Jiang Xiuning, their eyes red.
She saw her father, her brother, the Sword Saint, the Sword God—
and Jiang Yu, Jiang Jing, Qin Yu.
She also saw Di Qing, Gu Yuan, and those Heaven’s Chosen prodigies burning with fury, their blood boiling—
gritting their teeth, struggling desperately against suppression, only to end up covered in blood.
“No one can help me…”
“In the end, I must rely on myself!”
Li Yunqing slowly closed her eyes, as if accepting everything before her.
From the moment she stepped onto this path, she was destined not to rely on others.
And destined never to stop moving forward.
Others might choose to endure and hide—
but she possessed the Longevity Panel. She was destined to shine and could not escape it.
“Do I regret it?”
She asked herself.
But all she heard was her own heart, still beating firmly and resolutely.
This was the path she chose—
no regrets!
At that moment, her memories flashed like a fast-forwarded film.
From the beginning of her martial path to everything up to today, all passed before her eyes.
“There must be a way!”
“I, Li Yunqing, will absolutely not accept such an ending!”
“And no one can make me willingly accept it!”
