Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The cracks were endless and at least several thousand meters deep. Almost like a great earthquake, all the rocks, ghosts, zombies, and everything around fell into the cracks, becoming lost in the deepest lava as they screamed miserably.
“Qingfeng Li, you wretched bastard. How dare you damage my Underworld Necropolis. Today, I will kill you!”
The Underworld Monarch’s voice rose from the deepest parts of the Underworld Necropolis, full of rage.
He burst out with a titanic roar. Billowy corpse energy traveled and occupied the sky above the entire Underworld Necropolis.
The corpse energy enveloped an area, hundreds of kilometers wide, covering everything in a thick layer of black fog. No sunlight could penetrate it and the entire place was bathed in darkness. At that moment, the Underworld Monarch was full of wrath.
The Underworld Monarch depended on the Underworld Necropolis to survive. Large numbers of zombies, corpse soldiers, corpse generals, and corpse kings were under his command. However, now, they were all killed by Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li’s Yin-Yang Sky Halberd cut many zombies in half.
Qingfeng Li became serious and concerned when he saw the corpse energy hiding far from him in the sky. He said to Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, and the others next to him, “Stand behind me and don’t come out. This Underworld Monarch is really strong.”
Although the Underworld Monarch was Qingfeng Li’s enemy and Qingfeng Li could not wait to kill him, he knew that the Emperor was not weaker than him and had even reached the half-step saint realm.
The half-step saint realm was extremely powerful and Qingfeng Li had not yet reached that level. For this reason, he had taken a more serious demeanor.
Qingfeng Li quickly activated the vital essence in his body and shouted out loud, “Inferno Realm.”
Giant flames appeared around Qingfeng Li, covering an area hundreds of miles wide. They raged continually, burning up all of the corpse energy. Then, sunshine broke through.
Qingfeng Li only cleared up a few hundred miles. anything further was still as dark as ink, and covered with corpse energy.
Black Puppy walked to Qingfeng Li and said to him, with a serious and heavy face, “Be careful of this Underworld Monarch. Even if he has not yet reached the half-step saint realm, he probably comprehended some of the laws of the half-step saint realm.”
Having heard what Black Puppy said, Qingfeng Li nodded. He knew that the Underworld Monarch was a top tier enemy even without Black Puppy’s warning. He would not be careless.
Qingfeng Li had clearly felt, from the rolling corpse energy, that the Underworld Monarch was almost at the half-step saint realm, and had comprehended some of the half-step saint law.
As soon as someone comprehended the half-step saint realm law, he could draw support from the saint level power of the heavenly dao and then form a type of suppression towards self-cultivators.
Fortunately, Qingfeng Li practiced saint and the immortal level cultivation techniques. He could resist suppression from the corpse energy in the sky.
Had he been facing any other self-cultivator, they would already be in grave danger. Qingfeng Li looked at the dark air in front of him and shouted, “Inferno Realm.”
This time Qingfeng Li’s inferno realm was even bigger, and the flames fanned around him in an area several thousand meters. It was red everywhere. The flames burned the dark corpse energy in the sky and on the ground.
After the corpse energy was burned out, it turned into a strand of dark smog and disappeared in the air. Afterwards, sunshine poured out onto the ground and purified the filthy ghost creatures.
Deep in the Underworld Necropolis, the Underworld Monarch burst out with a raging howl. He didn’t expect Qingfeng Li to burn his Underworld Necropolis before his very eyes, it was a slap on the face.
Even the terrifying zombies and ghosts under the Necropolis shrieked with fear. They quickly flew out from the underworld and ran toward the darkened lands in the distance. They didn’t dare get close to Qingfeng Li for fear they would be burned by the flames surrounding him.
This moment, all the ghosts and zombies whispered, “This young man is truly powerful and he dares to burn the corpse energy on our land.”
“Exactly, and in front of the Underworld Monarch’s face. He doesn’t care at all.”
“Why doesn’t the Underworld Monarch make a move. If he waits any longer, our Underworld Necropolis will suffer a severe loss.”
Many ghosts and zombies were not happy with the Emperor’s attitude. Even now, he still hid in the deepest parts of the Underworld Necropolis. He had only released some corpse energy but had not appeared himself.
To be honest, the Underworld Monarch had just comprehended the half-step saint law that very moment and wanted more time to strengthen it. However, Qingfeng Li was already at his doorstep, he didn’t have any choice but to face the enemy head-on.
If the emperor waited to strengthen his ability, the entire Underworld Necropolis might be burned by Qingfeng Li’s flames.
“HongLongLong… HongLongLong… HongLongLong…”
A series of loud rumbling noises came out from the Underworld Necropolis. They were extremely loud and pierced the whole sky. In the distance, dark energy was rolling and corpse energy was everywhere. The entire place was surrounded.
A giant palm of corpse energy flew from far away. It slapped down on top of the flaming area above Qingfeng Li.
“Katcha!”
The palm hid the sky and covered the earth. In an instant, it put out all of the flames.
Qingfeng Li’s face sunk and he stepped back. “No wonder he is one of the four supreme monarchs on the Crimson Fire Continent. His abilities are indeed powerful, and he broke my Inferno Realm with just one attack. Let me use a different realm. I will try the Gravity Realm, the Five Thousand Times Gravity Technique.”
Qingfeng Li used the Gravity Realm with a loud shout. His Gravity Realm had already advanced by leaps and bounds. After it had been through the twists and turns of the gravity in the Mystic Sun Realm, it even broke through to becoming five thousand times stronger.
A massive pulling power was formed, stemming from the ground. That pulling power became several threads of dark fog, the dark fog was gravity, and sucked the giant palm towards the ground.
However, the palm was the Underworld Monarch’s and contained terror power. It had reached the half-step saint realm, blocked Qingfeng Li’s five thousand times gravitation, and returned to the air.
Qingfeng Li’s face changed again. He truly noticed the disparity between him and the half-step saint level. They were not at the same level at all. Even if he reached the ninth level spirit monarch realm and mastered strong cultivation techniques, it would be extremely difficult for him to defeat the Emperor.
Qingfeng Li’s face became a little heavy. He said to Xue Lin, “Stay behind me and do not come out. I will deal with this Underworld Monarch. I can’t let him control the fight.”
“Whirlpool Sky Halberd!”
“Qingfeng Li shouted and waved the Yin-Yang Sky Halberd forth. He then stirred with all his strength and formed a giant whirlpool.”
The whirlpool had two colors, black and white.
The black and white colors formed a pointy cone shape and took half of the space. They formed a strong whirlpool storm, rushing towards the Underworld Monarch’s palm in the sky with invincible strength.
