The power of tremors spread through the Myriad Poison Ancestor's entire body. Cracks covered him like a spider's web, and he collapsed silently.
Suddenly, a streak of green light shot towards Li Qingshan's forehead. It moved several times faster than the Myriad Poison Ancestor when he was in peak condition, and under the pull of the gravity of the earth right now, it was even faster than before. Even Li Qingshan could not respond in time. He caught a glimpse of it and saw that the green light was a fist-sized infant. It was half-transparent and resembled the Myriad Poison Ancestor slightly. Its face was filled with resentment.
A soul nascence!
After undergoing the third heavenly tribulation, human cultivators would convert their golden core into a soul nascence, condensing their cultivation within their soul. Even if their body was destroyed, it would not be life-threatening. All they had to do was find a new body, and they could possess it and be reborn.
Existences at the third heavenly tribulation were very difficult to kill. Daemon Kings were because of their tough bodies and startling life force. As for human cultivators, they relied on the mysteries of soul nascence. If they chose to flee, they would be extremely difficult to capture, and at certain times, they even possessed the power to reverse life and death.
The Myriad Poison Ancestor had launched a counterattack at a critical moment!
This was the first time Li Qingshan had seen a soul nascence either. Let alone being unprepared, even if he had been prepared, he would not have been able to respond in time. With a flash of green light, the Myriad Poison Ancestor's soul nascence vanished.
Li Qingshan froze, maintaining his posture of swinging his fist. Even the delight on his face had not been completely erased.
Li Qingshan, oh Li Qingshan. If I didn't have any way of fighting back, wouldn't I have blown up my soul nascence immediately and taken you down with me? I didn't want to use this move originally, but you've gone too far. Now, I'll make you understand the difference between us!
Green light illuminated Li Qingshan's sea of consciousness. The Myriad Poison Ancestor's soul nascence descended with the might of a sovereign. It was both delighted from turning the tables, but it was also filled with resentment and reluctance.
Although a destroyed body could be reborn through possession, the price they had to pay would be extremely great too. As a result, no great cultivator would choose this path unless they had no other choice. The Myriad Poison Ancestor had also been forced into dire straits, putting up a desperate struggle.
He was confident that he had the situation under control. No matter how many magical abilities Li Qingshan had, it would be difficult for him to use them in his Knowledge Sea. No matter how strong his body was, there was still a qualitative difference between a mere spirit and his Nascent Soul.
Although this was Li Qingshan's home ground, in this confrontation of the sea of consciousness, he undoubtedly had the absolute advantage. What was left to do was to completely crush Li Qingshan's thoughts and then completely occupy this body.
"Although I've condensed a Nascent Soul, I've been stuck at the early stage, unable to make a breakthrough. Originally, I had no hope of breaking through to the fourth Heavenly Tribulation. This body is as strong as a Demon King's. It will definitely increase my strength greatly. Even if there are some conflicts and discomfort, it won't be too much of a loss. Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan, all your hard work has gone to me!"
But before that, he wanted to listen to Li Qingshan's cries for mercy and enjoy the pleasure of revenge.
"If you beg me and listen to my instructions, this old man can consider sparing your life."
The Myriad Poison Ancestor sent out a thought, but the green light from the Nascent Soul became even more dazzling, contaminating Li Qingshan's Knowledge Sea like poison.
"Demon suppression!" Li Qingshan bellowed out inside, and it exploded in his Knowledge Sea like thunder.
The Demon Suppression Statuary's primary purpose was to suppress the demonic nature within oneself, and only then did it suppress the demonic path in the outside world. In that moment, the inside and the outside had become one. The strength of Li Qingshan's demonic nature went without saying. The Myriad Poison Ancestor was a powerful figure of the demonic path too.
The Demon Suppression Tower appeared in the sea of consciousness, as large as a mountain. It crushed down viciously towards the Myriad Poison Ancestor's Nascent Soul.
With a boom, the green light vanished. The Myriad Poison Ancestor's Nascent Soul was suppressed beneath the tower. Chains of Demon Suppression as thick as dragons criss-crossed, locking the Demon Suppression Tower firmly.
"If you beg me, I might even spare your life!" Li Qingshan's voice rang out in his Knowledge Sea. Even he had never expected the Demon Suppression Statuary to be so powerful. It truly was a special cultivation method of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga after all.
"Child's play!"
In the Demon Suppression Tower, the Myriad Poison Ancestor bellowed out. Immediately, the pitch-black Demon Suppression Tower was dyed green, shining with green light.
"Oh no!"
Li Qingshan visualised the Demon Suppression statues and used the Demon Suppression Statuary as hard as he could, pouring all the remaining demonic energy in his demon heart into the Demon Suppression Tower to contend against the Myriad Poison Ancestor's Nascent Soul.
However, the Demon Suppression Tower shook violently, and the green light grew brighter and brighter. Li Qingshan realised he had still underestimated the power of a Nascent Soul. He watched helplessly as the Chains of Demon Suppression snapped one by one. With a great rumble, the Myriad Poison Ancestor's Nascent Soul burst out of the tower, shining with blinding light.
His Knowledge Sea surged violently, as if a green sun had risen up from the ocean.
With a kacha sound, a tiny crack appeared on the demon heart, and it became dim and lightless. Li Qingshan knew he could not even use the Demon Suppression Statuary in a short amount of time, let alone summoning the Demon Suppression Tower.
"Hmph, you're just putting up a desperate struggle. You overestimate yourself. I'd like to see what else you've got!" The Myriad Poison Ancestor said. He felt like he had everything under control. He was prepared to viciously torture Li Qingshan's soul, releasing all of the resentment from the sneak attack and pursuit.
Before he had even finished speaking, Li Qingshan said calmly, "The Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas!"
The spirit turtle manifested and descended from above.
Compared to the Demon Suppression Tower, the spirit turtle did not possess much might. Not only was it much smaller than the Demon Suppression Tower, but it descended very slowly too. It shone with a faint glow as it descended slowly at a steady pace.
However, wherever the light shone, the churning sea of consciousness calmed down. The green light seemed to freeze too, losing its original might.
"What!"
The Myriad Poison Ancestor paled in fright. There were not a lot of cultivators who specially practised techniques for battles in the sea of consciousness. Normally, at a time like this, it would be a clash of the strength of their souls and consciousnesses, let alone daemons. The strength of the Demon Suppression Tower that Li Qingshan had summoned had already left the Myriad Poison Ancestor extremely surprised. He never thought he would have an even stronger move.
"Heh, you want to fight me? Let's see who's the one putting up a desperate struggle and overestimating themselves! "
Li Qingshan sniggered. As someone who practised the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, he did not have any shortcomings. He was flawless both inside and out. Whether it was a clash of techniques, melee combat, or a clash of consciousnesses, he had a set of methods to deal with them all.
When the Myriad Poison Ancestor smashed through the Demon Suppression Tower, he seemed unstoppable, but he had actually exhausted quite a lot of his strength. His soul nascence was no longer as bright as it was in the beginning, shrouded in a layer of dullness. Although he resisted as hard as he could, the Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas was far more powerful than the Demon Suppression Statuary.
The spirit turtle pressed down on the green light inch by inch. It seemed slow, but it was unquestionable, all the way until it reached the top of the soul nascence's head. As it turned out, only three inches of green light remained, but it was extremely condensed as well. They entered a stalemate for a moment.
However, Li Qingshan had the Water God Seal to replenish him, while the Myriad Poison Ancestor was alone and helpless. Before long, only two inches of green light remained. The outcome had already been determined.
