The spirit turtle lurked at the bottom of the quicksand river, blending in with the water. It was like a heavy rock that had been buried for a thousand years. It had no aura, no fate, no sorrow or joy. It was separated from everything, avoiding all the troubles of the mortal world.
Li Qingshan seemed to forget about his main body as well, devoting all of his attention to his clone.
The fierce winds whistled past his ears as he rapidly approached the horizon, crossing thousands of kilometers of pure land in a single breath. Whether it was the city, the wilderness, the forest, or the lake, they all blurred into brilliant colors: the yellow city, the green wilderness, the black forest, and the blue lake.
The colors blended and wove together, constantly changing. It was enough to make him dizzy. However, he dared not relax at all. All he did was constantly push harder and harder. If the phoenix wings faltered for even the slightest moment, they would be ripped to shreds by the incoming wind. Even with that being the case, the clone gradually broke apart and collapsed from the inside.
With the major accomplishment of the spirit turtle, he could pour all of his power into his mirror clone. However, the clone could not possess the reaction speed and toughness of his main body. Even if it did possess power, it could not unleash it completely.
However, this was already enough. He could pass off the fake as the real one. He did not need to react fast, nor did he need to last for too long. He only needed to flee for an hour.
The riverbed shook. If he had not sensed it carefully, he would not have sensed it at all.
The Wolf Fang Mountain collapsed. The Samara God finally broke free from the gaze of the orange-yellow eyes. Its armor was damaged, and its back was bruised, oozing with blood. It seemed rather miserable.
It raised its head and gazed in the direction Li Qingshan had fled in. It did not roar or bellow. Instead, it was unusually calm. It was no longer an attitude of looking down on him and cleaning up after him. Instead, it treated him as an equal, or even like it was facing a great enemy.
Since the Mountain Moving Medallion had appeared, the great tribulation of the world would descend once more.
It was not for these statues, nor was it for the Great Lightning Monastery, but for the entire buddhist sect.
"Li Qingshan, you must die here."
His eyes were like lightning, crossing the horizon in a single instant and locking onto Li Qingshan who was thousands of kilometers away. He held his truncheons upside down and took a step forward. He had already arrived on the banks of quicksand. Afterwards, he spent some time crossing the river and took another step, arriving another fifteen hundred kilometers away.
With a speed of three thousand miles per step, he crossed mountains, rivers, and lakes, chasing after Li Qingshan.
Suddenly, a large city that stretched for hundreds of miles appeared on the horizon. It was the place where he was going to land next.
He only needed to slow down a little or take a detour to avoid this city. However, he didn't hesitate in the slightest. With a step into the city, he disappeared beyond the horizon. Only a deep footprint was left behind, and it immediately triggered a huge earthquake. Countless houses and buildings collapsed, and wails could be heard everywhere.
The Blue God took its eighth step. It was already standing in front of Li Qingshan. It crossed its maces in front of him and unleashed a shocking attack.
Boom! Without any room for maneuver, the mirror avatar burst like a bubble.
Under the water, Li Qingshan opened his eyes and was also shocked. "Even if it's my original body, I can't withstand this attack. Even the Nirvana of the Phoenix is useless!"
This was the difference between a god and a human. Once he was found, he would die.
Less than a quarter of an hour had passed, and he had to hold on for at least another 45 minutes.
The Blue God frowned and closed its eyes. Its thoughts were like lightning. It immediately opened and caught a thread of fate. "Hiding in the water, yes, the water!"
He returned to the quicksand bank in a few steps. Looking at the murky and surging water, the clue was broken.
If it was an ordinary river, he could clear it with a wave of his hand. However, this water was not ordinary water. Even immortals would find it difficult to cross. All spells and abilities were restricted. It was indeed the best place to hide.
"Are you the only one with an avatar?"
The Blue God snorted coldly. Its mountain-like body suddenly collapsed and turned into millions of small Blue Gods. They rushed into the water, and the water level immediately rose.
Since abilities were useless, then he would use the most primitive method to search for him. He would search inch by inch in the water.
Li Qingshan's heart was like the deep sea. He was silent and motionless. He was not shocked, angry, or afraid.
The river surged and passed. Time passed bit by bit.
Quarter after quarter, it was getting closer and closer to midnight. Yin flourished and Yang waned.
The darkness deepened, as if they had returned to the Ruins of End.
The Blue God searched more than half of the river and quickly approached Li Qingshan's position.
At this time, every second was slow and sluggish.
There was still a quarter of an hour left!
The Blue God's army followed the riverbed and was already ten miles away.
Ten thousand feet! Three thousand feet! One hundred feet!
"Found it!"
Millions of Blue Gods shouted in unison, shaking the water and causing huge waves to surge.
Li Qingshan drew his sword and stood up, cleaving through the raging waves.
The sword qi was cold, and with a single slash, nearly a thousand small Blue Gods were wiped out. However, this was only a drop in the ocean.
In an instant, all the avatars merged into one and looked down from the clouds.
"Wait, I have something to say!" Li Qingshan shouted, hoping to buy a little more time. Yes, just a little more was enough.
However, what answered him was a cross of the two maces.
This shocking strike had not yet landed, but the sound of the two maces clashing had already caused his primordial spirit to tremble. He was almost unable to hold the ancient bronze sword.
The invisible interweaving laws of heaven and earth sealed off all possibilities of evasion.
There was no time to transform into a Qilin, no time to take out the Mountain-Moving Token.
At this critical juncture, every second was precious and difficult to obtain.
He did not even have time to think. Only two words appeared in his mind: "It's over!"
Boom!
Eight hundred miles of quicksand and three thousand miles of water were cut in half.
Li Qingshan blinked his eyes and produced a thump. His heartbeat sounded like thunder. "I'm not done."
Time was still passing. The river water that had flown into the sky poured down like a torrential rain, pouring into the empty riverbed.
His black eyes reflected a golden-red figure that caught the descending maces.
The Blue God's expression changed, but no matter how much his muscles bulged and his hair stood up in anger, the maces could not fall another inch.
Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. "You are … you are …"
Under the phoenix-feather purple-gold crown, his golden hair fluttered like the sun. He looked back and smiled, as innocent as a newborn child. His golden eyes seemed to see through his past and present lives.
"Traitor!" The Blue God's angry roar shook the heavens and earth, but there was a hint of helplessness in his anger.
The golden eyes turned to look at the Blue God. He pursed his lips and waved the maces away. He picked his ear with his little finger and took out a golden needle. With a wave of his hand, he turned it into a pillar and stabbed it upwards, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the sky.
The Blue God's mountain-like body was sent flying, and no one knew where it went.
Li Qingshan was about to go forward, but it was already midnight. Yin and Yang changed, and the extreme Yin gave birth to Yang.
In that instant, the laws of heaven and earth in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss seemed to slow down.
Vaguely, he could feel demonic energy surging and hear the roars of demonic beasts.
Between heaven and earth, countless devil lairs suddenly opened and then quickly closed.
"Kid, you are the one chosen by Old Bull. You are more interesting than I thought!"
Li Qingshan grew slightly accustomed to the gaze from the pair of scarlet-golden eyes. Only now did he notice that it was the most beautiful face he had ever seen in his life. It was not the so-called handsomeness of the secular world, but a kind of flawless, flawless beauty.
A demonic cave suddenly opened below him. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should go in. A hand pressed on his chest and pushed gently.
"We will meet again."
"Wait!"
Li Qingshan fell into the demonic cave. The darkness closed in front of him, and the scarlet figure disappeared. He felt lost.
Above the Ruo Shui, the golden eyes suddenly looked up, through the layers of clouds, the heavens, and beyond the starry sky. He laughed angrily. "Old man Rulai, the tribulation is here. Let's see how long you can trap me!"
Under the Bodhi tree, the Buddha lay peacefully. He supported his head with his right arm and opened his left hand.
As if he had heard something, he looked down at his palm and met the pair of scarlet-gold eyes.
The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was in his palm.
Their eyes met for a moment, and he smiled. He propped himself up and looked around. There were golden bricks everywhere, and golden leaves danced in the wind.
A gust of wind blew, and there was a strange rhythm. It was accompanied by the strange chirping of birds, which calmed one's mind.
