Chapter 123: A Mere Peak of the Divine Power Realm
"Another Life and Death Realm expert has appeared!"
"Five now. We have five Life and Death Realm experts on our side. The outcome is decided!"
"Although the outcome is decided, the eldest young master of the Li family is being overly reckless. He actually sent away the puppet. Isn't this courting death?"
"Maybe... he thinks he can hold off that peak Divine Power Realm expert?"
"Wishful thinking. Even though Li Xun lightly injured his opponent just now, it didn't damage the opponent's foundation. The man's strength remains intact. Once they clash head-on, Li Xun is likely to lose instantly."
"Sigh, I don't know what the eldest young master of the Li family is thinking. Why not work with the Life and Death Realm puppet to kill this peak Divine Power Realm expert first? Now that the puppet is gone, he's left with no help. In a one-on-one situation, he's bound to be defeated eventually. By then, the Li Family Head, the Profound Sun Sect elder, and others will be forced into a difficult position."
Above, the Life and Death Realm experts were fighting in the skies tens of thousands of meters high.
Few people in Tianyuan City could see the specifics of the battle, but Li Xun and the young man remained relatively close to the city, hovering above.
At this moment, the million citizens of Tianyuan City held little hope for Li Xun. It wasn't for any other reason—it was simply the overwhelming gap in strength.
One was at the peak of the Divine Power Realm, while the other was in its early stages.
Although the gap seemed like just a few small steps, the disparity was so vast that it might as well be an entire major realm.
In a courtyard, a young boy named Xiao Fan stood beside Li Ming. The boy's face was a mix of emotions as he gazed at the sky, sadness evident on his small face as though recalling something unpleasant.
At nearly four years old, unlike the Heavenly Emperor, Xiao Fan had not lost his memories. He vividly remembered everything from before.
Looking at the figures battling in the sky, Xiao Fan felt an inexplicable familiarity with the young man leading the charge.
"Second Brother, are they here to kill me?" Xiao Fan asked softly.
"Probably. But don't worry. With my father and elder brother here, no one can take you away," Li Ming confidently replied.
"How long will it take for me to become as powerful as Big Brother?" Xiao Fan asked.
"Hmm." Li Ming thought for a moment. Initially, he wanted to say thirty years, but given how much his elder brother valued this child, he halved the time. "Fifteen years, maybe."
To him, becoming a Divine Power Realm expert by the age of nineteen would already make Xiao Fan a remarkable figure.
Above the heavens, the young man wielded a black shield in one hand and a blood-red divine spear in the other. The spear vibrated as it pointed toward the heavens, exuding an aura of boundless slaughter that filled the void.
He coldly declared, "I will make you realize that the gravest mistake of your life was sending away that Life and Death Realm puppet!"
With a hum, he transformed into a divine rainbow, charging forward. The blood-red divine spear glowed brilliantly, as if it had come alive. A true phoenix seemed to coil around it, vivid and lifelike.
This spear strike condensed the entirety of his true essence. The peak Divine Power Realm expert channeled all his power into the spear, unleashing a blinding divine light that tore through thousands of meters of space, targeting Li Xun.
"A high-grade spiritual treasure?" Li Xun's eyes gleamed.
This young man's background was extraordinary, far wealthier than even a Prince of Great Chu. He wielded a high-grade spiritual treasure right from the start, and his ancient shield seemed to be a middle-grade spiritual treasure as well.
These two items alone placed him above countless peers.
Li Xun stowed away his Azure Dragon Halberd, opting to catch the spear with his bare hands. Golden palms clashed with the spear, creating a shower of sparks, each spark like a meteor shattering the void. The aftermath rippled against Tianyuan City's protective formation.
The young man sneered, his spear trembling and emitting a terrifying wave sharper than a heavenly blade.
Bang!
Li Xun's expression remained unchanged. His golden palm crushed the heavenly blade into nothingness and gripped the spear's shaft.
From where his hand grasped the spear, a crimson flame began spreading rapidly.
The flame was strange, intangible yet unbearably hot.
"Argh!"
The young man screamed in pain. The blood-red divine spear, having recognized him as its master, caused his very soul to be scorched as the fire engulfed it.
It felt as though he were being thrown into the sun, enduring relentless torment.
He tried to withdraw the spear, but Li Xun's grip was unyielding.
"Hand it over!"
Li Xun bellowed, unleashing his full strength. Before the young man could react, Li Xun wrenched the spear from his grasp.
The crimson flames in Li Xun's palm quickly extinguished the young man's soul imprint on the spear.
Then, with a flick of his finger, a drop of blood merged into the spear. Instantly, the weapon radiated even more dazzling light, as if a miniature sun had taken shape in his hand.
"A treasure like this is wasted in your hands. Let me show you how to use it!"
Boom!
Li Xun's aura erupted. His blood surged like dragons. In his body, every drop of blood seemed to transform into an ancient star, revolving with the sun and moon, exuding an aura of eternity.
With a metallic clang, he spun the spear in his hand, unleashing its full power. Starry rivers unfurled, and the high-grade spiritual treasure erupted with terrifying might, shattering the surrounding void.
"I'll kill you!"
The young man was furious, his eyes bloodshot. His opponent was merely an early Divine Power Realm cultivator, yet he had failed to subdue him quickly.
Now, the man had stolen his weapon—a humiliation he couldn't bear!
He charged forward, ancient shield in hand, his other palm clutching a flashing rune. He aimed to mimic Li Xun and reclaim the spear.
But as soon as his palm touched the weapon, an immense force surged forth. With a loud bang, his arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
"How is this possible?"
Agonizing pain coursed through him as he watched in disbelief. The spear grew larger in his vision until—
Boom!
The blood-red divine spear slammed into his black shield, unleashing unimaginable force. The shield shattered into fragments, scattering in all directions.
The young man, like a meteor, plummeted toward Tianyuan City.
As he fell, he saw Li Xun closing in. Terrified, he screamed, "I am a member of the Spirit Race! If you dare kill—!"
Before he could finish, the divine spear pierced through his chest, pinning him to Tianyuan City's protective formation.
"You are just a mere peak Divine Power Realm expert—nothing more," Li Xun's cold voice echoed through the void, silencing the city in awe.
