Chapter Fifteen: Qinglian's One World, Re-creating the Golden Immortal

  After making up his mind to hone his swordsmanship through the dawn, Li Yi chose a small hill and stopped there, quietly waiting for the arrival of the dawn.

  Di Ang saw Li Yi stop and was slightly surprised, but he didn't think much of it. A Xuan Immortal was nothing to a Jin Immortal, even if he had some special means, it wouldn't be a big deal. He accelerated and arrived above Li Yi in an instant.

  "Little brat, why aren't you running away? Do you still think that with your Xuanxian realm, you can resist a Jinxian?" Jinjiao sneered.

  "Whether it succeeds or not, you'll know once you try." Li Yi didn't refute, his right hand stretched out to the side, a green light flashed, and the Qinglian ancient sword flew out from his dantian, landing in his hand.

  Li Yi poured the power of slaughter into the Qinglian ancient sword, and the ancient sword transformed into a dazzling green light. Wave after wave of pressure emanated from it, causing the surrounding space to become chaotic. The clouds in the sky were torn apart by the Qinglian ancient sword's omnipotent power, splitting them in two. The rocks beneath Li Yi's feet cracked open with fissures, as if countless invisible knives were ceaselessly slashing at them.

  This was the first time Li Yi fully unleashed the power of Qinglian Ancient Sword. In the past, even when facing enemies in dire situations, Li Yi only utilized the sword's hardness, and the divine object hid itself, so no one discovered that this seemingly ancient longsword was actually a top-grade innate spiritual treasure; otherwise, even Da Luo Golden Immortal would have come to seize it with humility.

  "Top-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure, it's actually a top-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure!" Di Jiao felt his heart almost jumping out: "Youngster, I didn't expect you to possess a top-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure. That's great for me," Di Jiao's face was filled with greed. No choice, thinking that he was already in the late Golden Immortal stage, not to mention top-grade Primordial Spirit Treasures, even ordinary Primordial Spirit Treasures were hard to come by.

  "Hmm", Li Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, the sword light pushed forward, "Peng", behind him appeared a pair of silver wings, on which the sword light flowed, the entire wing seemed to be composed of countless small swords.

  Fighting against Jin Xian across a vast boundary, Li Yi didn't dare to hold back, laying out all his trump cards.

  "Lotus born of heaven and earth", Li Yi let out a loud shout, the spiritual energy within a hundred miles around him surged forth like a rolling dragon, crazily rushing towards him. Under the push of his sword light, a giant lotus flower with a height of a hundred meters rapidly took shape, emitting a bright green glow.

  "Go", Li Yi's sword light flashed, the green light of the giant lotus rapidly revolved, the stem swayed back and forth, swallowing towards the corner of the ground.

  Di Jiao, due to being careless from the start, had just reacted when he was swallowed by the Qing Guang Giant Lotus. In an instant, the Qing Guang Giant Lotus transformed into countless lotus petals, each petal taking the shape of a small light sword, forming a sword-shaped dragon vortex that seemed to want to strangle Di Jiao to death.

  Li Yi gazed at the corner of the land being swallowed by the sword-shaped tornado, he didn't think that a mighty Golden Immortal would be annihilated just like that.

  "Infinite Sword Light", Li Yi's body was surrounded by a rising light sword, countless light swords in a fan shape, Li Yi pointed, "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", a long river of sword energy, went straight to the corner that was being entwined and killed by the sword-shaped dragon vortex.

  "Ah, you young whelp, I'll tear you apart!", a thunderous roar pierced through the sword energy.

  Di Jiao never thought he would be played by a mysterious immortal like this, and accidentally got caught up in the sword-shaped storm. In this storm where sword energy was everywhere, even he didn't dare to be careless. Although there was no danger to his life, if he wasn't careful, he might get seriously injured. If other Golden Immortals found out, they would probably laugh at him until their teeth fell out.

  "Bang", a green light burst out from the sword energy strangulation.

  "Hmph, kid, I admit I underestimated you at first," the corner of his mouth twitched with anger as he gritted his teeth and said: "However, I want you to understand that even if a Mystic Immortal is strong, they will absolutely never be a match for a Golden Immortal."

  With both hands pressed against the ground, he smiled gloomily and said: "Today I'll let you taste the flavor of being pierced by ten thousand arrows."

  Li Yi was shocked, "Not good", he turned around and left the position just now, and a yellowish-brown arrowhead had just pierced through.

  Li Yi's face turned gloomy. As expected, Jin Xian was not someone to be trifled with. Just now, if he hadn't been careful, he would have probably ended up dead or seriously injured.

  "Dodge, dodge, see how many times you can dodge", the corner of the ground sneered: "Today I will let you know that the power of a Golden Immortal is not something that a small and insignificant Xuan Immortal like you can comprehend, nor is it something you can provoke."

  "Earth surge, ten thousand arrows", with a loud shout from Di Jiao, the ground was like a calm lake surface rippling with waves, countless earth-yellow stone arrows stood up straight, "whoosh, whoosh", all the stone arrows covered the sky and shot towards Li Yi.

  In the distance, the stone arrows formed a yellow torrent that rose against the sky and surged towards Li Yi with great momentum.

  Looking at the dense arrow rain, Li Yi relied on the "Sword Light Flying Wing" divine ability, while simultaneously casting "Infinite Sword Light" to shuttle back and forth among the arrow rain.

  "What kind of divine power is this?" Di Jiao was greatly shocked, wanting to know that he relied on this move to kill dozens of Golden Immortals. With an endless rain of arrows, even Golden Immortals found it difficult to dodge, unless they had a defensive innate spiritual treasure. However, defensive innate spiritual treasures were not easy to obtain, so most Golden Immortals ultimately failed to defend themselves and were shot dead.

  Never thought that his proud divine power would be broken by a mysterious immortal, a cold light flashed in the corner of Li Yi's eyes. He was still so powerful as a mysterious immortal, if he broke through to the Golden Immortal, he wouldn't be able to resist him at all. No way, since they had become sworn enemies, he absolutely couldn't let him live on. Today, no matter what, he would have to get rid of him.

  One cannot let his archenemy grow slowly by itself. The greater the potential, the earlier it should be eliminated; otherwise, one will end up being the unfortunate one.

  A pinch of the law, the earth's corner single-handedly holds up the sky, yellow light points float in from all directions, the air's earthy energy continuously gathers and condenses, slowly forming a ten-thousand-zhang-tall yellow giant mountain. Wave after wave of spiritual pressure emanates from the giant mountain, causing plants within a hundred-mile radius to bend downwards, while animals flee in panic, fearing being affected by the battle's residual waves.

  Li Yi narrowed his eyes, gazing solemnly at the yellow Yuanqi giant mountain, and set up dozens of defensive seals in front of him. The light wings behind him flashed quickly, coordinating with "Human Sword Unity" to transform into a flowing light, rapidly escaping.

  "It's too late to escape", with a ferocious expression, in order to eliminate Li Yi, he even used several ruthless tactics, how could he let him escape again.

  "Boom", the sky and earth were left with only a yellow hue, the surrounding mountains were instantly flattened, just like tens of thousands of tons of high explosives detonating at the same time, a mushroom cloud slowly rose.

  Li Yi's defensive barrier was like fragile paper, shattered by the impact wave with a single poke. "Cough", he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and Li Yi fell far away like a kite with a broken string.

  "Hah, hah, the top-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure is finally mine!" The corner of the earth was wildly laughing, "With the top-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure, my strength will increase several times."

  Elated by his victory, he didn't notice Li Yi's eyes flashing with a cold light as he fell.

  Arriving at Li Yi's fallen deep pit, the corner of the earth couldn't wait to get its hands on the Qinglian ancient sword in Li Yi's hand. The calm and tranquil state of mind that had been accumulated for over a million years was fragmented under the temptation of the top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, forgetting his usual caution, and didn't even bother to investigate whether Li Yi still had any breath left.

  At the moment when Di Jiao was deeply immersed in his fantasy, "Qing Lian Yi Shi Jie", a loud and abrupt shout suddenly woke him up.

  "Not good, there's deceit", Di Jiao had just thought of retreating, but Li Yi's carefully planned trap wouldn't let him easily escape. Sword lights rose up from the surroundings of the deep pit.

  That's right, Li Yi knew from the beginning that ordinary attacks would not cause much harm to Jin Xian. From the start of the battle, Li Yi had planned to set up a trap, allowing Di Jiao to enter the range with no defense, where the "Qing Lian One World" sword technique was most powerful.

  First, he took advantage of Di Jiao's arrogant state and used the "Lotus Born Heaven and Earth" and "Infinite Sword Light" sword techniques to make Di Jiao angry and lose his calm mind. Then, relying on the "Sword Light Flying Wing" and "Infinite Sword Light", he broke through Di Jiao's proud divine ability, making Di Jiao feel threatened and produce a murderous intention, again destroying his mental state. After that, when Di Jiao attacked and spat blood, falling to the ground, Li Yi let down his guard. Finally, under the temptation of the top-grade Xiantian Lingbao, Di Jiao completely ignored Li Yi, this "dead man", and stepped into the largest attack range of the "Qinglian One World" without any defense.

  In this way, step by step, the corner of the earth was drawn into a trap, and the risks were self-evident. Even with the evasive maneuver "Sword Light Flying Wing", Li Yi was severely injured under the attack of the Yellow Origin Giant Mountain.

  Having paid such a great price to make him surrender, how can he be allowed to escape easily.

  Endless sword lights rose from the giant pit, and these sword lights gradually formed blooming lotus flowers. The corners of the earth suddenly lost their sense of the outside world, as if they had entered a world of lotus flowers, where everything above and below was nothing but lotus flowers.

  These lotus flowers seem beautiful, but the corners of the earth know the terror within. One lotus flower is a cluster of dense and numerous sword energies. The corners of the earth feel their scalp numb, and all the law forces surge upwards, wanting to break open this world.

  It was unexpected that with this move, the entire Qinglian world seemed to have received some kind of instruction, countless Qinglian swirling around and floating towards Di Jiao, exploding beside him, transforming into countless small light swords cutting through Di Jiao's body. Moreover, countless Qinglian grew roots, piercing into Di Jiao's body, dense sword energy entering his body, constantly destroying it.

  "Ah, ah, ah", a mournful and piercing cry echoed from the corner of his mouth, as if he was an evil spirit suffering eighteen kinds of torture in hell, wailing incessantly.

  The flesh on his body was being destroyed inch by inch, blood flowers dancing in the air, and he felt as if countless ants were biting inside him, while outside, countless small knives were cutting him, the pain making him almost faint, no longer able to hide, revealing his true form, a hundred-zhang-sized single-horned monster appeared in the Qinglian world.

  "With a loud crash, a gigantic unicorn-like beast leaped out of the deep pit, its body covered in fresh blood. Almost every inch of its skin was marred by dense, crisscrossing scars from knife wounds. It glared hatefully at the giant pit for a moment, and for an instant, a flicker of fear flashed through its eyes before it transformed into a streak of light and flew away."

  After Di Jiao left, Li Yi appeared exhausted at the bottom of the pit. He didn't expect Jin Xian to be so difficult to deal with. He had used all his tricks and risked serious injury, but only managed to severely injure Jin Jiao, without having the strength to kill him off.

  It seems that fighting against a late-stage Golden Immortal like Di Jiao is still a bit of a stretch, so in the future when looking for an opponent, I'll try to find one from the early stages of Golden Immortality. If others were to know about Li Yi's thoughts, it would be enough to make them vomit blood - a Mystic Immortal using a Golden Immortal as an opponent, isn't that just seeking death?!

  Li Yi took a look at the devastated battlefield and quickly left, lest he be found by those two helpers.
