Boom!
Against the backdrop of the low clouds and interweaving lightning, Li Qingshan and the demonic infant faced off against each other in the air. It was as if they were looking at a distorted mirror. Because it was the body of a fiendgod, the demonic infant seemed more like Li Qingshan. Its words seemed more like it was talking to itself.
Before it could refute, lightning flashed behind it and the lightning sword pierced through the clouds from the sea.
Amidst the violent boom, Li Qingshan flapped his wings and dodged in a sorry state. Feathers fell from the sky and another terrible wound appeared on his body.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Blazing Thunder Sword kept piercing back and forth, leaving behind crisscrossing arcs of lightning that cut the void into pieces.
Li Qingshan was locked down and couldn't resist at all. The circulation of the small world was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. The demonic qi was chaotic and uncontrollable, falling into chaos under the influence of the demonic infant.
He felt as if his body had been extended and a wandering limb had grown out. The sensation of this limb was transmitted even faster, so fast that his consciousness couldn't react. A slight change in one part would affect the entire body, and he couldn't control it at all.
It was like a voodoo doll that was tailor-made for him and could move freely. It was constantly cursing him.
In an instant, sword wounds crisscrossed on his body and white bones could be seen. His right arm was severed at the elbow and his spine was exposed in the wound at his waist. He knelt in the sea with the surging seawater up to his chest. What was worse was that the wings behind him were completely torn apart by the lightning, making it difficult for him to dodge the following attacks. The situation took a turn for the worse as the will of death closed in.
The demonic infant sneered coldly, "Look at your pathetic appearance, saying that a mere four heavenly tribulations can destroy you above the Nine Heavens! Why aren't you kneeling down and accepting your fate? "
"Shut up!" Li Qingshan roared angrily.
"Ha, you can't even protect yourself now, so how can you control me?"
The lightning sword gathered lightning and attacked Li Qingshan continuously. The demonic infant didn't even need to dodge the lightning now. She simply placed her hands on her waist and raised her nose to the sky, looking extremely arrogant.
Ruan Yaozhu couldn't understand. Even the five yin demons could only use the five great worries of "emotion, perception, thought, action, and knowledge" to disturb the minds of cultivators. It didn't have any substance, nor did it have any consciousness. It was even more impossible for it to quarrel with a cultivator like this. Furthermore, to a certain extent, this Demonic Infant was a Demonic Infant. He was just like Li Qingshan.
Boom! Another strike landed on Li Qingshan's back. If he had not used the spirit turtle's ability in time, he would have almost been cleaved in half. The tremendous force still slammed him into the ocean viciously.
"How could such a thing happen? It must be that bastard Spirit Sovereign Guihai who schemed against me. There's something wrong with the Unfettered Heavenly Book he gave me! "
"Alright!" Through the deep, rippling seawater, the demonic infant's cheers could be heard clearly. "Li Qingshan, you don't want me to say it, but I'm going to say it anyway. He's just a mere mortal. He was lucky enough to obtain a lousy cultivation technique. Do you really think that you can defeat Demon God Qiongqi and ascend to the Nine Heavens? "
Ruan Yaozhu frowned slightly. It wasn't strange for cultivators of the Dao of the Mortal Realm to aim above the Nine Heavens, but what was up with Demon God Qiongqi? Why would a mere Nascent Soul cultivator be involved with such a monster?
"Tsk tsk, abandoning your wife and slaughtering the innocent. You even dare to talk about the Nine Heavens time and time again. Even I feel ashamed for you. Fortunately, you can't reach there. Even if you really reach the Nine Heavens, you'll still be a disgrace! You might as well just die here and save yourself a lot of trouble. "
The demonic infant's mocking laughter reverberated amidst the rolling thunder. It was completely unaffected by the thunder.
Li Qingshan was extremely furious. He finally experienced the feelings of his opponents whom he mocked. He wanted nothing more than to tear that thing into pieces. However, the angrier he got, the more vicious the demonic infant's words became. The rolling evil words were like thousands of arrows piercing his heart. It was even more unbearable than tribulation lightning.
He decided to seal his eyes and ears, wanting to see and hear nothing. However, the evil words became clearer and clearer. It was as if … as if it came from the bottom of his heart.
A thought flashed through his mind. He immediately understood that he was wrong. That thing was neither evil nor sentient because it was his own voice.
He struggled to get up, but the lightning sword hung high in the sky. Lightning flickered and instantly pierced through the sea and sky, pinning him to the bottom of the sea.
The seawater exploded, and huge waves rose to the sky.
The demonic infant stretched out two fingers. It was a gesture that symbolized 'victory' from Li Qingshan's previous life. It smiled and said, "The second time … and … the last time!"
When Li Qingshan underwent nirvanic rebirth again, he slowly crawled out of the sea. "I was wondering what it was. So it's just some distracting thoughts! Is the greatest enemy me? Pfft, how old-fashioned! "
"You finally realized it, idiot. But it's too late!"
The demonic infant pointed to the sky. Just Now, the lightning sword had lost its target and was hanging above his head. It slowly rotated, gathering lightning and restoring its radiance. Not far away, above Li Qingshan's head, rolling tribulation clouds gathered. Lightning interweaved within them, faintly forming the shape of a blade.
"The second tribulation lightning weapon!"
Ruan Yaozhu was dumbfounded. Was this really the fourth heavenly tribulation? Li Qingshan had committed a crime against the heavens. He had inner demons haunting him and tribulation lightning weapon on the outside. Even a Yin Divinity cultivator would not be able to escape death.
"You're the idiot. If I didn't realize it, how would you have? Forget it, it's too stupid to quarrel with yourself. "
Li Qingshan shook his head. On this Path of the Nine Heavens, his number one opponent was himself.
Fear, doubt, guilt, helplessness, anger … Day and night, they burned incessantly like fire. It was just that these distracting thoughts were usually suppressed by his incomparably strong willpower.
But at this critical juncture of transcending the fourth heavenly tribulation, not only was he advancing from Demon King to Demon Emperor, his nascent soul was also transforming into a Divinity.
The nascent soul cultivated by the Unfettered Heavenly Book was different from others. The Yin Divinity formed was closer to a Yin Demon. It was more adept at bewitching people and hiding invisibly. It possessed all kinds of strange and unfathomable methods. It could easily crush cultivators of the same realm like Shen Yushu who were not adept at fighting and had weak willpower.
However, the price was that it was very easy to go berserk. Just like at this moment.
And this was not a coincidence. It was inevitable.
If cultivating the Unfettered Heavenly Book of Nature was compatible with the way of nature, it could reduce the difficulty of transcending the tribulation. But the effect of the Unfettered Heavenly Book was the complete opposite. It allowed cultivators to experience what it meant to be overflowing with five yin and the attack of inner demons during the process of transcending the tribulation.
The demonic infant said, "You're finished."
"You're finished too." Li Qingshan looked up at the lightning blade that was gradually taking shape and muttered to himself, "If you didn't say it, I really wouldn't have noticed it … Do you want to destroy yourself?"
The demonic infant was the embryonic form of a Yin Demon. Everything he said was his thoughts, just like the uncontrollable negative emotions in a mortal's heart.
When the layers of distracting thoughts materialized, all kinds of emotions would have nowhere to hide. Among them, the deepest intent and the most terrifying emotion was the urge to destroy oneself. Therefore, the Demonic Infant wanted to make an enemy out of him and kill him.
Only by completely denying his own existence and turning everything into nothingness could he completely let go of his burdens and not have to walk on with such difficulty.
How laughable. Was the so-called Path of the Nine Heavens just to seek death?
The demonic infant said numbly, "This is your fate, and also my fate …"
With a boom, the lightning blade took shape and the lightning sword whistled. The killing intent of heaven and earth condensed into this blade and sword. Who could withstand it?
