Chapter 645 426: Pure Yang Qi
Hulah!
The purple trident, like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, brandished itself ferociously.
It seemed poised to pierce through Chen Ku's chest.
[There is someone, Liu Li, who intends harm to the master. Slay her to obtain the Ninth Realm's Evil Qi...]
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, a wave of yellow sand spread across the ground.
Chen Ku's body suddenly vanished from its original spot, causing the trident, which seemed to contain Liu Li's utmost effort, to strike air, bringing the land crashing down.
"What?"
Liu Li saw Chen Ku's figure disappear from the spot, and her face turned pale with shock.
Like the Zhu Jianfu she held, this trident, transformed by three green snakes, was a life-saving artifact painstakingly crafted by the elders of Demon Spirit Island before her journey to Ji Country.
Yet, Chen Ku dodged it, wasting her once-in-a-lifetime usage beyond compare.
"Junior Sister Liu, be careful!" In this moment, Liu Li suddenly heard Zhu Jianfu's urgent warning.
"Hmm?" Liu Li's expression changed dramatically.
She suddenly saw Chen Ku appear directly one foot in front of her, striking a punch towards her chest.
Boom!
Gold-lit fist marks pierced through the air and through the chest of this female Qi Cultivator from Yuan Country.
Chen Ku's fist marks pierced through her chest,
"Huh..."
Liu Li disbelievingly stared at the man close in front of her, feeling a cold emptiness in her chest, and then noticed a flash of calm in the man's eyes.
Bam!
Chen Ku slightly twisted the fist that had pierced through Liu Li's body, the fist intent and wind within it tore the air, violently resonating within the female Qi Cultivator's body.
Boom!
At this moment, Liu Li's body exploded into a large cloud of blood mist.
[Diagram Master successfully slain Liu Li, obtained one strand of Ninth Realm's Evil Qi]
Accompanied by the Transformation Diagram in his mind absorbing this female Qi Cultivator's Evil Qi.
After her death, a bunch of objects erupted from her body, including magical artifacts, bottles, and a pale pink pouch.
"Junior Sister Liu!!"
Zhu Jianfu widened his pupils in shock, unable to believe that the Junior Sister who accompanied him deep into the Daji Kingdom's heartland had died before his eyes.
The key was, he hadn't figured out how Chen Ku vanished from Liu Li's strike.
It was like real teleportation void!
Yet,
Before he could figure it out, he saw, amidst the scattered debris from Liu Li's death, a jade scroll, and his expression changed dramatically:
"What, this stupid pig Liu Li actually carried that jade scroll with her!"
In an instant.
Zhu Jianfu no longer cared about whether he could escape from Chen Ku's hands, all that mattered was solely to destroy that jade scroll.
That scroll indeed involved traces of their Sect Alliance Army's next plan and specific steps.
It was also related to a Super Spirit Vein within the Daji Dynasty.
Information they confirmed with much effort, it absolutely must not be lost, it must be destroyed, even at the cost of his own life.
Because once exposed, it means countless deaths for his Fang Xian Sect brothers and sisters, his family, and friends from his sect in the planned operation.
"Kill!"
With this fierce shout, Zhu Jianfu, who originally intended to flee, was suddenly enshrouded by a rolling pitch-black Qi, donning a piece of black demon armor, grabbing a small mountain from the void that appeared in his palm like a bonsai.
Below his feet, a silver bird appeared, resembling a Divine Eagle or perhaps a Great Roc.
Screech!
Accompanied by a sharp cry from the silver bird, the man and bird together charged down towards Chen Ku from miles away.
Zhu Jianfu threw the small mountain in his hand, transforming it mid-air into a massive hundred-foot mountain peak, enveloping Chen Ku's view in shadow, intent on crushing him.
This was a powerful mountain-shaped treasure, not only possessing the weight equivalent to a hundred-foot structure, exerting thousands of tons of force, but also a heavy mental realm pressing onto the soul.
Meanwhile, the silver bird spat out a pale white flame, engulfing the entire sky once it appeared.
Yet beneath the mountain, Chen Ku showed no change in demeanor, for his combat strength had prolonged the battle to this point partly because his external body was reaching its limit, and partly due to the need to fight two opponents at once, requiring divided attention.
Now, having slain one.
The remaining one was well within his grasp.
Boom!
The great mountain suppressed downward; the hills on the ground shook as if an earthquake of magnitude seven or eight erupted.
However, Zhu Jianfu's expression changed, for he hadn't witnessed Chen Ku's figure being crushed by the mountain. By the time he noticed, he found himself and the surrounding sky entirely enveloped by a gust of yellow sand.
Within the sandstorm, Chen Ku had already expanded two-thirds of the Drought God Air Domain, effortlessly utilizing the ability to phase through space to evade the mountain while throwing out the Fire Beak Pot.
Ooo-la-la~~
The silver bird continued to spout flames, but upon encountering the Fire Beak Pot, it let out a terrified screech before the entire bird transformed into a mass of silver flames.
It was swallowed by the Fire Beak Pot in one gulp.
"My 'Silver Roc Spirit Fire'… what is that pot?"
Zhu Jianfu's soul was in turmoil, but before he could dwell on this emotion.
Oo-laa!
Before Chen Ku himself arrived, the wind of a staff was already howling towards him.
The "Immortal Treasure Kun Bone Stick" in his hand had already appeared in front of Zhu Jianfu, its ghostly spatial teleportation causing it to strike before Zhu Jianfu could react.
Bam!
The black demon armor draped over Zhu Jianfu's shoulders caved inward from the back, sending Zhu Jianfu himself hurtling like a meteor into the distance.
"Hmm? Something's off?"
Chen Ku keenly noticed Zhu Jianfu deliberately heading towards the position where Liu Li had already been slain by him.
Immediately, he saw the spoils scattered on the ground.
Because it was during battle, he hadn't had the time to pick them up. Now seeing the opponent's actions said it all: among those spoils must be something of great value to him.
Without hesitation, Chen Ku stepped onto the void, teleporting over there instantly.
Within this Drought God Air Domain, Chen Ku could almost infinitely perform space-shifting technique, allowing him to outpace any cultivator below the Thirteenth Realm.
Yet…
In the instant Chen Ku teleported over there.
He was startled to see Zhu Jianfu turning his head abruptly toward him, revealing a sinister smile:
"Long live Da Yuan! Long live Fang Xian Tao! Pure Yang Ship, refine my entire body, explode!"
Immediately, a small boat appeared on his body, fusing with him, emitting an extremely dazzling light, like the sun, shooting countless rays, a terrifying power and energy chasing at the Tenth Realm level rapidly spread toward Chen Ku!
Self-destruction!
Chen Ku never expected this young Qi Refiner from Yuan Country to choose self-destruction without hesitation.
At the critical moment.
As he watched his body on the verge of destruction, knowing if struck by this Ninth Realm Qi Refiner's self-destruction he'd even risk his own will and divine soul getting injured.
A soft sigh floated through his heart.
Since that's the case, there's no choice but to completely give up this incarnation of Tang Xuan Transformation.
Just as the ever-expanding swallowing light, like the sun, was about to engulf Chen Ku, an image of a swiftly spinning windmill sickle appeared in Chen Ku's left eye!
Before Taiyuan!
Whoosh~~
Wherever his gaze passed, the vast ocean-like self-destructive energy dissolved into snowflakes under the scorching sun, transforming into countless particles of spiritual energy.
[Diagram Master has already slain Zhu Jianfu, acquiring one path of Ninth Realm Evil Qi]
With the reminder from the Transformation Diagram.
Zhu Jianfu's Evil Qi entered the Transformation Diagram.
Immediately, all the energy from his final self-destruction was reverted by Before Taiyuan back into the form of spiritual energy.
Beginning to be absorbed into Chen Ku's left eye.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
At the same time, Chen Ku felt his body reaching its limit.
But then, he sensed a rush of Pure Yang Qi, pouring into his 'Sun Technique' cultivation from his left eye, which amazed him:
"Hmm, why does it feel like I've gained some Pure Yang power?"
As with all previous cultivation needs, the Sun Technique's practice relied on Pure Yang Spiritual Objects, and Chen Ku had been searching for relevant items in this regard.
After all, once the Sun Technique reaches great achievement, he could unify Yin and Yang, not just charge toward the Tenth Realm Huntian Skill, but also completely master the 'Life Destruction Restriction' of Destruction Tower. The next step was to grasp the 'Forbidden Technique.'
At this moment, as Chen Ku's left eye absorbed, he sensed the shadow of a 'small boat.'
"Is it the small boat Zhu Jianfu activated earlier, containing Pure Yang Qi?"
Then, upon seeing Zhu Jianfu's Evil Qi in the Transformation Diagram.
His mind stirred:
"A Qi Refiner fundamentally practices a system of spiritual energy. My Before Taiyuan left eye can precisely revert all energies back into spiritual form. Why not make Zhu Jianfu my new transformation and let me see if I can, without suppression, restore this Divine Eye to the speed of cultivation 'Heavenly Person' once had?"
Immediately, he hung Zhu Jianfu's Evil Qi on the Transformation Diagram, counting the dozen or so Ninth Realm Evil Qi. He could first refine Zhu Jianfu's transformation to the Shape-Shifted level, and by the way, investigate the origin of this Pure Yang Qi harboring small boat, and whether there are other channels to obtain it. If so, the Sun Technique's cultivation issue could be resolved.
