When Lin Qingfeng was defeated and killed in a single move, the entire world seemed to freeze in that instant.
Not only were countless powerhouses on the Great Heavenlaw Domain side dumbfounded but even the experts of the Hundred Battles Domain were equally stunned.
Perhaps many people had already anticipated Liu Bai's victory since judging by his previous performance he indeed possessed the strength to win.
However the way this victory unfolded had completely exceeded everyone's understanding.
"What just happened?" someone could not help but ask in a low voice.
They had not understood anything at all. Clearly Lin Qingfeng was the one attacking so how did he suddenly end up being devoured by his own spiritual energy?
"Nether Demon Heart Lighting. This brat actually possesses such a thing." Sword Concealing Elder's old face had already darkened. He had clearly seen the method Liu Bai used earlier.
"Heh heh heh. Sword old ghost have you forgotten that the Demonic Lightning Sect was already occupied by their Nine Nether Palace before. Looks like this kid was quite lucky and found something good in the Demonic Lightning Abyss." Corpse Mountain Elder's hoarse and eerie laughter rang out.
Sword Concealing Elder frowned. He naturally knew about the Demonic Lightning Abyss and had also heard the rumors about the existence of Nether Demon Heart Lighting within it. Yet for so many years no one had ever truly seen such a thing.
Putting everything else aside Qin Tiangang's Demonic Lightning Sect had existed for many years and yet he never obtained any Nether Demon Heart Lighting. Meanwhile this kid obtained it not long after taking over. That kind of luck was simply too outrageous.
If Sword Concealing Elder had ever read novels from Liu Bai's previous life he would surely shout that this was nothing other than the so called protagonist halo.
"This battle Great Heavenlaw Domain Liu Bai is victorious!"
No matter how unwilling or hateful he felt toward Liu Bai, Sword Concealing Elder had no choice but to announce Liu Bai's victory.
However Liu Bai did not return to his lineup. Instead he loudly declared "I wish to continue challenging. I wonder which commander of the Hundred Battles Domain is willing to give me guidance?"
As his voice fell the Hundred Battles Domain side instantly fell into brief silence.
The scene looked as if Liu Bai alone had intimidated all commander level powerhouses of the Hundred Battles Domain into silence. This immediately boosted the morale of the Great Heavenlaw Domain while the opposing side grew heavy and suppressed.
There was no helping it. Liu Bai had almost instantly killed Lin Qingfeng. If commanders far weaker than Lin Qingfeng stepped out they would simply be courting death.
At this moment the only hope lay with Mo Mo of the Demon Corpse Sect and Qin Bei of Great Compassion Sky who were on par with Lin Qingfeng.
Watching a mere youth dare to challenge them so arrogantly Sword Concealing Elder also felt a surge of anger.
But the first commander of Myriad Sword Valley had already fallen. The rest now depended on the other two factions.
Sensing Sword Concealing Elder's gaze Corpse Mountain Elder's eyes flashed with a trace of sinister light before he waved his hand behind him.
A figure completely shrouded in black robes stepped forward.
"Go. Do not disgrace my Demon Corpse Sect." Corpse Mountain Elder's hoarse and cold voice echoed.
The black robed figure did not respond and directly moved toward Liu Bai.
Seeing the newcomer Liu Bai could not help but smile as if he were looking at three hundred thousand experience points walking toward him.
The person on the opposite side clearly had no intention of introducing himself. With a wave of his hand black robed figures appeared all around. Just from the eerie death aura emanating from them it was clear that these were not living beings.
Demon corpses!
This was the signature method of the Demon Corpse Sect.
Every expert of the Demon Corpse Sect possessed the ability to nurture corpses. They could control the bodies of powerful cultivators and use them in battle. As such Demon Corpse Sect experts excelled at using demon corpses to fight with numbers.
This was somewhat similar to corpse herders from Liu Bai's previous life except these people preferred to steal the corpses of powerful cultivators which often led to group retaliation.
However in the Great Thousand World such situations were much rarer because there were simply too many experts. Strong corpses were relatively easy to obtain and they would not provoke forces they clearly could not afford to offend.
Mo Mo as the strongest commander of the Demon Corpse Sect was also at the peak of Third-Grade Sovereign. Each of his twelve demon corpses possessed the strength of a Third-Grade Sovereign.
This was precisely what made the Demon Corpse Sect so troublesome. They bullied the few with the many and relied on the fearlessness of demon corpses to besiege enemies. Very few at the same level could truly withstand them.
Moreover these were corpses to begin with so Liu Bai's Nether Demon Heart Lighting was useless against them.
"Go!"
Mo Mo tightly guarded his mind wary of Liu Bai once again using the intangible and formless Nether Demon Heart Lighting to ambush him and directly ordered all his demon corpses to attack.
Seeing this Liu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly. This approach indeed limited the power of his Nether Demon Heart Lighting but his methods had never been limited to just that.
Boom!
Purple flames suddenly erupted around Liu Bai. Space behind him trembled as a surging purple ocean appeared before everyone's eyes.
Waves crashed against the sky. Droplets of purple seawater shot upward and transformed into purple flames midair before falling back into the sea below.
Screech!
A sharp bird cry rang out as a massive bird entirely formed of purple flames soared out from the ocean. Carrying overwhelming waves of fire it charged straight toward the twelve demon corpses.
Undying Fire. Where did this kid get so many terrifying things?! Corpse Mountain Elder's expression finally changed.
First it was Nether Demon Heart Lighting and now Undying Divine Flame. Either one was a priceless treasure to cultivators. Yet this young man possessed two. Could he be a core disciple nurtured by some super power?
"Hmph. Have you forgotten that the Palace Master of Nine Nether Palace is a Nine Nether clansman who has already evolved into a Nine Netherworld Sparrow. That clan carries Undying Bird bloodlines. This Undying Fire is likely from that little girl."
This time Sword Concealing Elder spoke as an observer.
"Nine Nether clan Nine Netherworld Sparrow…" Corpse Mountain Elder's eyes flashed with intense greed.
That was a top tier divine beast bloodline. If he could obtain such a corpse and refine his demon corpses with divine beast blood would the results be even better?
"Put away those petty thoughts. If you do not want to die then do not touch that little girl. Otherwise even without the Nine Nether clan, the one from the Great Heavenlaw Domain would never spare you."
Putting aside other identities just the fact that Jiu You was one of the King of the Great Heavenlaw Domain meant that if Corpse Mountain Elder dared to kill her and refine her corpse it would be no different from directly slapping Mandala in the face. When that time came even Liu Tiandao would not be able to protect him.
"Hmph!" Corpse Mountain Elder naturally understood this so he merely let out a cold snort before shifting his gaze back to Liu Bai.
Jiu You clan members could not be touched but could he not kill this brat instead?
At such a young age he already possessed this level of strength. This youth's talent was truly astonishing. Even if refined into a demon corpse he would have tremendous potential.
What he did not know was that if he truly dared to touch Liu Bai the consequences would be far more severe than touching Jiu You. After all Liu Bai was currently Mandala's life saving medicine to suppress her curse and was the one person in the entire Great Heavenlaw Domain who absolutely could not be provoked.
On the battlefield the raging Undying Fire surged forth like a tidal wave. Although the twelve demon corpses were protected by boundless deathly aura they still could not withstand the scorching flames.
Just as Liu Bai's raging fire began to gain the upper hand Mo Mo's eyes hidden within the black robe suddenly turned icy. He then formed a seal with both hands and roared in fury "Explode!"
In an instant the endless deathly aura around the twelve demon corpses abruptly contracted and was entirely drawn into their bodies. As the deathly aura flooded them each demon corpse let out agonized wails. Their bodies which had been tempered to extreme toughness began to tremble violently.
"This is bad. This madman is going to self detonate the demon corpses!"
Jiu You sensed his intent and her heart shook. A trace of shock appeared on her face.
Unfortunately this was a duel between the two sides. As a spectator she could not interfere nor could she speak to warn him.
At this moment many people also saw through Mo Mo's intention and could not help but sigh at his decisiveness and ruthlessness. To Demon Corpse Sect disciples demon corpses were of utmost importance. To be able to self detonate twelve powerful demon corpses without hesitation showed how resolute his temperament truly was.
Liu Bai naturally sensed this as well. The spiritual energy ocean behind him surged violently and a gigantic figure emerged behind him. Immediately streams of five colored radiance descended and enveloped Liu Bai in protection.
Boom boom boom.
A series of massive explosions rang out and the entire Hundred Battles City seemed on the verge of collapsing under the shock.
A terrifying spiritual energy storm spread in all directions. When it was about to crash into the Great Heavenlaw Domain side the
Sky Vulture Emperor waved his hand and a golden light curtain appeared blocking the storm completely.
On the other side the Hundred Battles Domain was protected as well as Devil Compassion Sovereign stepped in to stop the storm.
Everyone stared intently at the center of the battlefield through the light barriers.
When the storm finally subsided a thousand zhang tall golden giant was the first to appear. In its palm held before its chest was Liu Bai.
"That is great. Big Brother Liu Bai is fine!" Tang Rou cried out in joy and jumped up happily.
Tang Bing and the others also let out long sighs of relief.
Seeing Liu Bai completely unscathed the Hundred Battles Domain side grew tense.
Could it be that they had lost again?
However very soon the black figure walking out of the smoke put everyone at ease. It seemed that Mo Mo still had some skill and was not blown to death by the explosion.
Otherwise that would have been laughable.
But it did not take long for everyone to notice that Mo Mo's condition was somewhat off. The aura emanating from his body was now comparable to that of a Fourth-Grade Sovereign.
"What happened?" Countless people felt this question rise in their hearts.
Liu Bai was also somewhat surprised. He had not expected this man to still have such a move hidden.
Even so he was not afraid. Even a true Fourth-Grade Sovereign would not frighten him let alone one forcefully elevated through a secret art.
At this moment Mo Mo's condition was extremely unstable. Everyone could sense a terrifying power lurking within him. If it erupted it would likely blow him apart on the spot.
"You devoured all the deathly aura left behind by the self detonation of those demon corpses?"
Liu Bai quickly understood what he had done and frowned.
"Are you trying to die together with me using this method?"
Liu Bai suddenly felt that Demon Corpse Sect members were inheritors of Deidara. Was it that art is explosion? In the original plot the Spiritual Corpse King defeated the Asura King by self detonating his natal demon corpse and severely injuring him.
Now this Mo Mo seemed to have perfectly inherited the Demon Corpse Sect's true tradition. Not only did he self detonate his demon corpses, he was now about to self detonate himself as well.
Opposite him Mo Mo who had already begun charging forward without regard for anything raised his head. The face hidden within the black robe finally revealed an expression for the first time. It was a despair filled madness twisted and terrifying.
Unfortunately Liu Bai was not intimidated by this madness. He merely formed a seal and a colorless canopy appeared above his head.
The self detonation of a Fourth-Grade Sovereign was something even a Fifth-Grade Sovereign would not dare to underestimate let alone withstand head on.
Yet Liu Bai chose a method of response that no one could understand.
When an even more terrifying explosion erupted everyone's expressions turned incomparably solemn.
Mo Mo's death was already inevitable. What everyone wanted to see now was what had become of Liu Bai at the center of the explosion. Had he perished together with him or was he gravely injured and unable to continue fighting?
Unfortunately when the golden giant reappeared once more protected by golden light and five colored radiance everyone's understanding of Liu Bai was shattered yet again.
"What the hell. He is still completely unscathed? How is this possible? Is this Liu Bai really only a Third-Grade Sovereign? Could he be a Fifth-Grade Sovereign pretending?"
On the Hundred Battles Domain side some people could not help but doubt Liu Bai's true cultivation.
Only the king level and emperor level powerhouses present could see that the reason Liu Bai remained unharmed after successive self detonations was entirely due to that bizarre Celestial Body of his.
"What kind of Celestial Body is this? That five colored canopy's defensive power is far too terrifying."
Sword Concealing Elder frowned as he heard an elder of Myriad Sword Valley say this behind him.
His own expression was also grave. "The power of this Celestial Body is likely comparable to those ranked within the top thirty of the Ninety Nine Sovereign Celestial Bodies List. What Celestial Body could it be? Why have I never heard of it?"
At this moment Corpse Mountain Elder's heart was filled with killing intent as his hoarse voice sounded.
"The five colored canopy cultivates the power of the five elements. In the Great Thousand World the only one capable of cultivating the five elements to such a level could it be from the Five Elements Divine Sect? But the strongest Celestial Body of the Five Elements Divine Sect the Five Spirit Divine Body is only ranked thirty five. Moreover that Celestial Body does not look like this."
Sword Concealing Elder shook his head and said "Regardless of what Celestial Body it is with the defensive power of that five colored canopy combined with his cultivation of the Great Heavenlaw Domain's once in a century Daluo Golden Body these two layers of defense alone are enough to make it extremely difficult for a Fourth-Grade Sovereign to break through. No wonder this brat was able to push through everything and kill so many of our Hundred Battles Domain's powerhouses. This single ability alone is enough to let him stand invincible."
