The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

Fight, fight, fight!

One man, one fiend. The scorching flames of battle instantly set the entire void ablaze.

The distant crowd watched this astonishing battle, every one of them stunned speechless, their minds reeling as if the world were spinning around them, unable to speak for a long time.

"This Qin Ya's combat power is truly terrifying to the extreme!"

"A King fighting a Giant Fiend... Terrifying, just too terrifying."

"This man will one day be a Venerable Level figure. He must not be provoked."

Meanwhile, the faces of Dongmen Ming and the others turned deathly pale. Their minds trembled as they grit their teeth, their eyes revealing an incredibly dense killing intent.

'He cannot be left alive. The enmity is already sown. This man cannot be allowed to live.'

'Even if it takes the full power of my clan, he must be killed!'

At that moment, the battle high in the sky changed once more.

Qin Ya had not forgotten his original goal in the heat of his burning War Intent. He suddenly thrust his spear, laughed aloud, and with a flash of his figure, he shot off into the distance.

Seeing this, the Giant Fiend let out a long howl. The Flame in its pupils flickered incessantly as the ferocious Evil Qi around its body surged to an apex, and it gave chase after Qin Ya.

"Success."

"Excellent! Brothers, charge!"

Seeing that Qin Ya had successfully lured the Giant Fiend away, Sima Yu, Yun Feng, and the others were overjoyed. They immediately led their men to charge the tribe once again.

Terrifying bursts of energy erupted throughout the basin as the battle began.

Meanwhile, Qin Ya had already led the Giant Fiend hundreds of miles away. They arrived in a massive mountain range, landed on the ground, and once again erupted into battle.

BOOM...

Spear met claw. The Natural Energy formed by the Four Symbols True Intent clashed with the Giant Fiend's own Yin Yang Evil Qi. The terrifying might unleashed by the collision instantly kicked up fierce gales within a ten-thousand-zhang radius, sending sand and dust surging in all directions.

"Four Seasons Spear Technique... Perfection!"

The Four Seasons Spear Technique was a Seventh-Grade Profound Technique to begin with. The power of this Perfection-level spear thrust was incomparably formidable. When Qin Ya was a Half-Step King, he could use it to contend with an Era-Defining King. Now that he had advanced to King, its might was on a completely different level.

Wind, fire, lightning, and ice—the Four Seasons flowed, shaking the very mountains.

The Giant Fiend, in turn, gathered Yin Yang Evil Qi in its mouth and spewed it forth, forming a massive pillar of light. As the pillar collided with the spear's image, the fiend's figure soared high into the air, its claws descending from the sky like a sun-blotting dark cloud, pressing down on Qin Ya.

"Your speed... it's too slow!"

To Qin Ya, while the Giant Fiend's power was immense, its speed was lacking. With a burst of his Mysterious Speed, he executed Shrinking Inches. His figure flickered, and in an instant, he had dodged the attack without it even touching the corner of his robes.

BOOM...

With a thunderous crash, the Giant Fiend's claw only managed to blast a huge, claw-shaped crater in the ground. Immediately after, Qin Ya thrust his spear toward its lower jaw.

CLANG...

The Breaking Army Spear, a Spiritual Artifact, only managed to scrape a shower of sparks off the surface, leaving nothing but a white mark on the Giant Fiend's scales.

"Hmph, break for me!"

Qin Ya snorted. Boundless Power of Nature flowed to the tip of his spear. His True Essence erupted, and the incomparably hard scales were instantly torn apart like thin paper!

RRRIP...

A spray of blood mist erupted. Qin Ya, holding his spear, surged with True Essence, unleashing the full might of the Breaking Army Spear. Empowered by the Power of Nature, it instantly pierced through the Giant Fiend's lower jaw. The intense pain instantly triggered the Giant Fiend's ferocity. With a wretched howl, it unleashed a terrifyingly extreme burst of Evil Qi that sent Qin Ya flying.

"ROAR!"

The Giant Fiend howled ceaselessly, spewing out streams of Yin Yang Evil Qi. The surrounding mountains underwent a massive transformation; some were burned to ash, while others were condensed into black Frost. The air itself became saturated with a terrifying Evil Qi.

"What are you roaring for?!"

Qin Ya roared in anger. His Four Symbols True Intent began to circulate as the spear's light, carrying a four-colored halo, descended abruptly from the sky and brutally smashed down on the Giant Fiend's head.

The Giant Fiend let out a mournful cry and swung its massive claws. An unprecedented amount of Yin Yang Evil Qi filled the void, causing the surrounding Space to grow heavy.

Qin Ya circulated his True Intent, trying to break through this restraint, but found it much less effective than before. He snorted coldly, Condensing the Qi of Destruction in his palm, and blasted it forward with a single strike!

The Palm Seal collided with the claw. Qin Ya was sent flying, smashing violently into the ground. The Giant Fiend pressed its advantage, raising one foot high. The sole of its foot was wreathed in Yin Yang Evil, and it stomped down viciously.

"Mysterious Technique... Perfection of the Four Seasons Spear Technique!"

"Mysterious Technique... Extreme Stab!"

At this moment of crisis, Qin Ya circulated his Four Symbols True Intent to the tip of his spear. Then, his Mysterious Speed erupted, causing the long spear to vibrate continuously, revealing layers of halo-like light.

He thrust the spear. A terrifying piercing power, combined with the Power of Nature, exploded forth, becoming a burst of ultimate energy. It instantly penetrated the layers of Yin Yang Evil Qi on the Giant Fiend's foot, tore through its flesh and blood, and ran it completely through.

"ROAR..."

The Giant Fiend howled in pain. Its enormous, blood-red maw opened to its absolute limit, revealing rows of bone-white teeth that looked as if they could bite through a mountain in a single crunch.

"Now... die!!"

Qin Ya instantly shot into the air above the Giant Fiend. His True Essence erupted at full power. His Four Symbols True Intent circulated, his Mysterious Speed was executed, and his Mysteries of Destruction manifested. These three powers were channeled into his spear, forming a great, Taotian force. A terrifyingly extreme energy fluctuation stirred the void, kicking up shockwaves that spread out in all directions.

The Giant Fiend also seemed to sense an unprecedented crisis enveloping it. It roared at the sky, condensing a terrifying ball of Yin Yang Evil Qi in its mouth that it then blasted out like a pillar of light. It collided with the formidable spear light in an instant!

In that instant, ripples spread out through the void!

The immense impact blasted the Giant Fiend's body straight into the ground. The earth quaked, kicking up a sandstorm. The ground split and mountains crumbled—half of the mountain range collapsed outright, a massive fissure opened up, and countless boulders came tumbling down...

"I said... DIE!!"

Qin Ya roared again, took out a glob of Holy Liquid, and consumed it. A pure energy swept through his body, and his nearly depleted True Essence Qi Sea was instantly replenished.

BOOM...

The light of the ultimate spear thrust flared up once more, slowly breaking through the Yin Yang Evil Qi. The Flame in the Giant Fiend's eyes flickered erratically as if expressing its terror, but it was useless. The spear light instantly blasted into its head.

With a final, thunderous explosion, its head—along with a ten-thousand-zhang area around it—was blasted to ashes. The Giant Fiend, a beast comparable to a Half-Venerable... was dead!

Qin Ya slowly landed, panting heavily. The Holy Liquid Energy circulated within him, restoring his power in an instant. He couldn't help but feel emotional. 'As expected of a treasure condensed by a Saint. This kind of effect is an incredible boon in battle.'

And he still had a whole pile of this Holy Liquid in the Void Tower!

'This effect is somewhat similar to some Elixirs. Perhaps in the future, I can try Refining an Elixir that uses Holy Liquid as the main ingredient.'

Qin Ya thought to himself, feeling that this idea was very much possible.

A sliver of anticipation was born within him.
