Entering the mysterious pages of the ancient book, Ming Qi had no time to observe the unusual nature of this space. He immediately activated the power of the stars within Nirvana Heaven, simultaneously concentrating all his divine power into a single point, and then completely detonated it.
At this moment, Ming Qi chose to self-destruct.
Thanks to Nirvana Heaven's immortal rebirth technique, he felt confident. He wanted to see the true power of these ancient book pages and whether they could maintain their form if they exploded from within.
As Ming Qi activated his power, powerful divine power surged back like a floodgate, instantly forming a point of light as dazzling as the sun within the pages' strange space. This peak of power was the precursor to a catastrophic explosion.
With a resounding, earth-shattering roar, the entire underground space shook, and large swathes of mountain rock tumbled down, instantly forming a blanket on the ground.
"What's going on!"
The Tianwu Cult leader was the first to react, exclaiming in bewilderment as he watched Tianyi suddenly vanish after a sudden jolt ahead.
Indeed, at the moment of the loud explosion, the pages of the mysterious ancient book vanished along with Tianyi, vanishing without warning.
"General!"
Another commander exclaimed in surprise, unable to understand why Tianyi vanished along with the pages of the ancient book.
The scene that followed left them both speechless and stunned.
The loud explosion hadn't subsided when Tianyi gradually emerged from another direction. This time, however, his appearance was completely different. His original figure had become extremely faint, almost transparent. At the same time, Mingqi's figure also appeared opposite Tianyi.
The two were not far apart, less than a hundred meters.
Tianyi's hands were empty, and between them, a mottled, worn ancient book emerged in the air, with a few scattered pages slowly falling from it.
The ancient book materialized, and even the reborn Ming Qi was somewhat surprised. The once radiant book had become so shabby. It seemed the previous blow had severely damaged it, and it could no longer maintain its basic form.
The two stared at each other in silence for a long moment.
"I truly underestimated you."
After a long pause, Tianyi spoke first, his voice so faint and soft that it sounded as if he were terminally ill.
Ming Qi sighed and said, "I truly could not have imagined that the supreme commander of the Tianzui Camp was actually a weapon spirit!"
A weapon spirit is a divine weapon that emanates a divine soul and condenses into a weapon spirit. This is a manifestation of the divine weapon's spiritual power reaching its peak. Ming Qi was now certain that the ancient book was a divine weapon, and Tianyi was its weapon spirit.
"Weapon spirit, no, I am human!"
Tianyi's tone suddenly became more stern. Although he was a weapon spirit, he had always existed as a human, and his actions spoke for themselves.
"It's a shame you weren't!"
Ming Qi sneered in response. Having guessed Tian Yi's intentions, he would naturally exploit them. Tian Yi was already at the end of his rope. Without the ancient book's power, his fighting ability was practically zero.
"You!"
As expected, Tian Yi showed signs of anger upon hearing Ming Qi's words, but ultimately remained silent.
"Well, the victor is king and the loser is a bandit. Since I've been defeated, today is the day I die. It's just as you wish!"
Tian Yi was very decisive, and as he spoke, the worn ancient book began to shake violently.
"At this point, do you think you can still get what you want?"
Ming Qi had naturally anticipated Tian Yi's move. As he spoke, he suddenly unleashed his Heavenly Phase Teleportation, instantly seizing the ancient book from the void. A drop of divine blood then flew from his finger, dripping rapidly onto the ancient book.
"The Ancient Book of Life and Death!"
The dripping of divine blood immediately resonated with the ancient book, and Ming Qi finally learned the name of this divine weapon.
Although the Ancient Book of Life and Death was severely damaged, its power was reduced to only one-tenth of its original strength, it was fortunately not completely destroyed. Given time, it could naturally be repaired.
As Ming Qi's divine blood dripped in, Tianyi in front of him suddenly began to struggle painfully, a sign of forced submission.
As a spirit emanating from the Ancient Book of Life and Death, Tianyi was inseparable from the ancient book itself. Ming Qi had acknowledged Tianyi's master with a drop of blood. Even if Tianyi wanted to choose the path of destruction, it was now completely impossible.
"Submit to me!"
Ming Qi roared, raising the Ancient Book of Life and Death in his hand. In the distance, Tianyi roared in frustration, transforming into a stream of light and darting into the ancient book.
After capturing Tianyi, Ming Qi turned and stared at the last two people who were trying to escape.
"Want to escape? Not so easy!"
With the Ancient Book of Life and Death in one hand and the Fire Emperor Sword in the other, Ming Qi charged forward fearlessly.
Nirvana's strength lies in the fact that his power is inevitably at its peak after rebirth. Therefore, Ming Qi was at his peak strength as he fought the remaining Tianwu Sect Leader and another commander.
Even the unrivaled Tianyi had been defeated. At this point, the Tianwu Sect Leader and Commander Tianzui were already considering retreating. How could they still have the will to fight?
With a wave of his hand, four black and white pages of the ancient book flew out from the Ancient Book of Life and Death, completely trapping Commander Tianzui and the Tianwu Sect Leader in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the situation was dire, the two men immediately used their most powerful abilities to fiercely attack the trapped pages.
It was a subconscious action, but at this moment, the two were clearly panicking. Tianyi was a spirit, and as long as he remained intact, the Ancient Book of Life and Death could unleash its endless power. But now, Mingqi had mastered the Ancient Book of Life and Death. With his immense divine power, he could transform any page into a rock!
Completely ignoring the two's attacks, Mingqi swiftly channeled divine power into the Ancient Book of Life and Death. At the same time, Mingqi, holding the Fire Phoenix Sword, quickly approached.
The pages converged with incredible speed, tightly binding the two in the blink of an eye. Mingqi stepped forward and slashed with his sword.
The Fire Emperor Sword was still coated in divine fire, and upon contact, the two were instantly engulfed by it. The pain and terror of having their souls devoured drove the Heavenly Witch Cult Leader and the Heavenly Sin Lord completely insane. However, they were powerless.
Seeing the two men struggling terribly, Mingqi simply swung his sword and decapitated them one by one.
After dealing with the two men, Ming Qi waved his hand, sheathing the Ancient Book of Life and Death, and then, sword in hand, headed for the magic circle at the center of the clearing.
Arriving in front of the magic circle, he swung his sword without a word. It was this massive magic circle that was causing the Tianhuang Essence to be continuously drained, nearly destroying it.
Ming Qi's moves were incredibly swift, completely destroying the entire magic circle in the blink of an eye.
Having destroyed the magic circle, Ming Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Without the magic circle stealing the Essence, it was possible that the Tianhuang Essence could be slowly restored, eventually returning the Tianhuang World to its previous state.
After dealing with these matters, Ming Qi turned and set his sights on the corpses on the ground.
These four corpses were his greatest support in his breakthrough!
