Two swaying white lotuses rose up from the wounds of the two Demon Kings. At a closer glance, they were actually two pale-white sparks. They suddenly turned into scorching Samādhi Flames of White Bone and rushed into the sky, gathering in Little Ann's hand. He clenched it gently, and the traces of the two Demon Kings completely vanished.
"What sword is that!?"
Ye Duanhai stared at the shiny bone sword and was completely shocked. Even if he used his full strength, he was not confident he could kill two Demon Kings in a single stroke, let alone in the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous. The Sea-splitting sword was a famed sword in the world, but it definitely did not possess such power.
Everything that he had seen today was too unimaginable.
"Sir, I finally believe that Qiongqi has come for them. Just what are their origins?" The King of Southern Yue asked in surprise. He was unable to imagine whether he would end up like the two Demon Kings if that sword landed on him, dying a baffling death.
"I'm not too sure either." The Banyan Tree King shook his head gently, but he had a vague guess inside. As it seemed, the dream that Li Qingshan had mentioned in the past was not without reason.
"This is definitely not a power that should exist in this world," the King of Southern Yue said confidently. Even the Three Graves and Five Classics passed down through the imperial family of the Xia empire definitely did not possess such power.
Now, all the Demon Kings who had taken part in dealing with Li Qingshan were dead, yet what stood before him was the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous, as well as the mastermind Qiongqi.
"Interesting! This is far too interesting!"
Loud laughter suddenly rang out, echoing through the surroundings and making everyone's expressions change. It was Qiongqi's voice. Sure enough, he had been paying attention to this the entire time.
There was no anger from the failure of his plan at all in the laughter. Instead, it was filled with surprise and joy. There was even a hint of naivety, like a child who had obtained a toy he liked.
Among the twelve towering Demon Gods, the Demon God Qiongqi that had never been injured the entire time began to laugh. His demon qi rapidly condensed, and his body gradually consolidated, gaining life.
A pair of bright moons lit up in the surging demon qi. To no surprise, they were his eyes. He was shaped like a black tiger with wings on his back. An extremely distinct smile appeared on his face, and his huge mouth stretched into a terrifying arc. It was filled with sharp teeth. The laughter originated from his mouth.
Boom!
Qiong Qi leisurely took a step forward, leaving the shackles of the demon's den. Countless interweaving cracks appeared in the void, like black chains, but they couldn't stop Qiong Qi's footsteps.
An invisible presence expanded out. Even the King of Southern Yue and the others who had retreated far away felt their breaths freeze. They were immediately tempted to flee on the Silver Dragon King.
"Qiong Qi has really descended!?"
The Banyan Tree King furrowed his brows. He could not guess how much Du Qiongqi would have to pay for this action, but it was definitely much more difficult than the descent of his will. Even if it was just a doppelganger condensed from demonic energy, controlling it as the mastermind behind the scenes was completely different from jumping onto the stage and directly interfering. Even his king had not expected Qiong Qi to do this!
Rumble!
A string of thunderclaps resounded through the heavens and the earth, and in the blink of an eye, the sky had become a pool of lightning. The astral winds that were originally only circling high in the sky roared and tore the demonic clouds apart. The earth cracked and magma gushed out. There was also a formless magnetic force rising up from the ground to connect with the astral winds.
The world seemed to be infuriated, releasing a terrifying warning. The swamp had already become a scene of the apocalypse.
Qiong Qi ignored the wrath of the world and continued to walk with composure, walking over from the scene of the apocalypse towards Li Qingshan and Little Ann as if it was mocking the uselessness of the world.
Little Ann swung her sword and blocked in front of Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan grabbed her hand and stood beside her, staring at the approaching Qiong Qi. He had never minded accepting her protection, but the enemy they faced this time was unprecedented and beyond his imagination.
"Looks like it's really over this time!"
The King of Southern Yue sighed. Even if the power that Qiong Qi could unleash in this world was limited, the tremendous difference in cultivation had already determined that Li Qingshan and the others had no chance of victory at all, not to mention that Qiong Qi's current strength had already approached the limits that this world could contain. It was equivalent to the peak of the third heavenly tribulation. Probably no one in the nine provinces was his opponent.
Ye Weiyang originally wanted to express her agreement, but then she looked at the Banyan Tree King.
"Yes." The Banyan Tree King closed his eyes. Descending regardless of the price had already demonstrated his determination to succeed. No matter what gods wanted to do, mortals would struggle to oppose them.
Ye Weiyang looked away in some disappointment. Yeah, why did miracles keep happening?
Boom!
Qiong Qi's huge claw stopped before them and was immediately swallowed by the magma. He did not care at all, lowering his head and looking at Li Qingshan. "What a fascinating performance!"
A terrifying aura swallowed up Li Qingshan, but he was unfazed, as he had seen even more majestic figures in the past. He smiled resplendently. "Then are there any prizes?"
"Everything you want in the Demon domain! You will become the ruler of Qingqi mountain second only to me. Countless Demon domains and trillions of demonfolk will listen to your commands, allowing you to do whatever you want. By then, you'll find this world to be far too small. "
Qiong Qi's offer left everyone tongue-tied. Originally, the King of Southern Yue had even been thinking that if Li Qingshan joined the Demon domain, he might become the ruler of this world. Only now did he discover that he was still far too indecisive. Even his most exaggerated imagination seemed insignificant.
"Let's hope we're not one of the countless Demon domains!" The King of Southern Yue sighed.
"Oh my, a mighty figure! If I had known earlier, I would've curried favour with him. Elder Shu sure has a good eye! " Ye Weiyang joked, but her eyes were filled with undisguisable envy. Just who could resist something like that?
The Banyan Tree King smiled wryly. He really had no idea whether he should be happy or sad!
"Hehe, it's a pity that you can't give me what I want!"
"What is it? Don't waste time like a coward. Every second I stay here comes at a tremendous price. "
Qiong Qi's head drooped down a little more. The lightning and atmospheric winds in the surroundings had already begun bombarding his body, but they were blocked by a faint ring of Demon King.
The laws of the world were like invisible shackles. The stronger one was and the higher one's cultivation was, the stronger the repulsion would be. No matter how powerful Qiong Qi was, it was impossible for him to contend against the entire world. However, his undisguised calmness was even more terrifying than a cold threat.
"Your life!" Li Qingshan's smile vanished and he said resolutely.
In that moment, time and space seemed to freeze. Although he also wanted to say "where there's life, there's hope", he could still clearly remember someone saying to him, "Remember, don't lower your head to anyone, because you've once ridden on my back."
