Hearing Wu Chong's voice, Li Qing finally realized why the ancient demon's speech had sounded so familiar. No wonder I felt like I'd heard that ancient demonic language somewhere before, he thought.
The colossal demonic form of the Chi Tribe Old Ancestor lowered its head, surprised to hear someone calling out to it. "Someone still recognizes me after all these years? I thought the humans were wiped out completely back then."
Wu Chong's eyes burned crimson, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. He yearned to charge into the sky and engage the ancient demon in battle.
But a sliver of rationality reminded him that he stood no chance against this Chi Tribe Old Ancestor, even after reaching the nascent soul realm.
While Wu Chong's cultivation had advanced, the demon ancestor, who had returned to the demon realm for centuries, had undoubtedly grown even stronger.
"Why... is the gap still so vast? Just like before, I can only watch helplessly," Wu Chong growled in frustration.
The colossal ancient demon in the sky slowly raised its hand.
"Such intense hatred. I'd almost forgotten about that incident. Could you truly have witnessed it?"
It sought to seize Wu Chong, delve into his sea of consciousness, and satisfy its curiosity.
But Li Qing wouldn't allow it. He snorted coldly and snapped his fingers without hesitation.
Snap!
A wisp of Profound Yellow True Flame erupted, instantly halting the Chi Demon Tribe Old Ancestor's movements.
"Fellow Daoist of the Chi Demon Tribe, do you truly underestimate me so much?"
As the Profound Yellow True Flame blazed, it completely purged the surrounding demonic qi, leaving not a trace behind.
The Chi Demon Tribe Old Ancestor's pupils constricted as he turned toward Li Qing's position, sensing a palpable threat from the flame.
He had initially dismissed the human cultivator in the divine transformation realm, confident that few humans could match him in a battle between equals.
"This dimensional descent has been full of surprises. Who would have thought there'd be a human like you in this lower realm?"
"After reaching the divine transformation realm, I've fought on the Two Realms Battlefield for over two centuries, slaughtering countless human cultivators from the spirit realm. To me, they're nothing more than chickens and dogs."
The Chi Demon Tribe Old Ancestor's voice carried a hint of surprise as his aura, previously unrestrained, began to retract.
Li Qing's face remained composed, but his heart burned with icy killing intent.
"Heh, what a coincidence. I've also slaughtered my fair share of demons over the years. To me, they're just trash fish and rotten shrimp."
As his words faded, flames erupted around Li Qing, four heavenly spirit fires swirling around his body.
Boom!
The battle erupted instantly as Li Qing and the Chi Tribe Old Ancestor launched simultaneous, ferocious attacks.
Li Qing transformed into a flame giant. Having subdued the fourth heavenly spirit fire, the power of his divine ability had grown even more formidable.
Controlling his Flame Dharma Body, he hurled a punch upward, shattering the sky.
The Chi Tribe Old Ancestor slashed out a blade of demonic qi, as if cleaving space itself.
Bang!
A terrifying shockwave swept outward, instantly obliterating the snow clouds overhead and revealing the sun, a rare sight in the perpetually frozen snow region.
The scorching aura of spirit fire spread, melting the ancient, unyielding snow across the land.
"Impressive technique," the Chi Tribe Old Ancestor remarked, his eyes gleaming with dark amusement. "This fire possesses a natural counter to my demonic qi. It must be heavenly spirit fire." Having witnessed countless battles on the Two Realms Battlefield, the Old Ancestor's vast experience allowed him to instantly recognize Li Qing's heavenly spirit fire.
But Li Qing had no interest in exchanging words. Like Wu Chong, he harbored a deep killing intent toward the Chi Tribe Old Ancestor.
He never imagined the opportunity for revenge would present itself today.
"Myriad Flames Heaven-Burning Formation!"
The flame giant formed a hand seal, and torrents of intense heavenly spirit fire erupted from its body, transforming into towering pillars of flame that sealed off the space.
Within this fiery domain, only the Chi Tribe Old Ancestor and the flame giant remained.
"Trying to protect those ants?" the Chi Tribe Old Ancestor sneered. "You humans are so baffling. Daring to be distracted in a battle between equals."
Li Qing replied coldly, "Distracted? I'll slaughter you like a dog. I simply don't want my sect's disciples to be harmed."
"Now that I've achieved divine transformation, no one will ever dare to bully the Lingyun Sect again!"
These words only made the Chi Tribe Old Ancestor laugh in fury.
"Such arrogance from a human! Let's see if your strength matches your boasts."
As he spoke, a demonic banner materialized in his hand—a demonic treasure refined by a demonic race master of artifact refinement.
"You should feel honored to die by my Heaven Refining Demon Banner today!"
As the words left his lips, the Chi Tribe Old Ancestor abruptly waved his demonic banner. The Myriad Flames Heaven-Burning Formation, reinforced by four spiritual flames, showed signs of imminent collapse.
This demonic treasure was no ordinary artifact, easily rivaling some of the most powerful yellow-grade spirit treasures!
Yet Li Qing remained unfazed. The flame giant he had transformed into rapidly shrank, giving way to a blazing sun.
"Great Sun Transforms into Golden Crow!"
His voice resonated like the sacred tones of the great dao. Instantly, a resplendent golden crow soared into the sky, trailing wisps of fiery tail feathers.
Caw!
The Golden Crow's cry pierced the heavens, purifying every trace of primordial demonic qi.
The Great Sun Golden Flame was an absolute Zhi Yang fire, a natural nemesis to demonic and malevolent entities. Against an ancient demon, this heavenly spirit fire proved extraordinarily effective.
The colossal Golden Crow streaked across the sky. In an instant, deep gashes appeared on the Chi Tribe Old Ancestor's body, wisps of demonic qi continuously evaporating from the wounds.
"Hiss!" The Chi Tribe Old Ancestor gasped, drawing in a sharp breath.
He waved his demonic banner again, roaring, "Heaven Refining Demon Banner, Soul Refinement!"
This was an attack targeting the divine soul, aimed at directly refining Li Qing's very essence.
But Li Qing's divine soul was now immensely powerful. Having cultivated the second layer of the Soul Refinement Scripture, he had no fear of such attacks.
"You dare to refine my divine soul? You're not worthy!"
As his voice echoed through the air, the Golden Crow transformed back into a great sun, appearing behind Li Qing.
Li Qing raised one finger to the heavens and another to the earth, striking a pose of supreme dominance over all realms.
Behind him, the golden great sun blazed even brighter, radiating a blinding, sun-like brilliance.
"Great Sun Demon-Subduing Radiance!"
Boom!
The terrifying solar energy erupted outward, engulfing the entire fiery space in a blinding white light, obliterating all other forms.
Drawing upon his divine transformation realm cultivation, Li Qing spared no vital essence as he channeled the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth to unleash the full power of this heavenly spirit fire.
The Great Sun Golden Flame erupted in a blinding flash, instantly purifying every trace of demonic qi in its path.
This technique cost him nearly a century of lifespan.
Yet the results were astonishing. The Chi Tribe Old Ancestor's body was now completely devoid of demonic qi. His once pitch-black, monstrous form now radiated a holy, ethereal aura!
"How is this possible?"
