Chapter 974: It's over, the Holy Monk has taken out the Absolute Immortal Sword
Seeing the blood rain transform into spirit rain, the words Jiang Liu intended to utter got stuck in his mouth.
Well, the blood rain still bears a look full of resentment towards me. What can I do about it? Jiang Liu shook his head helplessly.
"What's wrong, Father? Don't you want to see me?" Seeing Jiang Liu's helpless expression, Lingyu asked.
"Of course not. This time, Father has brought you a good treasure!" Jiang Liu said in response to Lingyu's words.
"Ah? A treasure? What kind of treasure!?" Hearing that not only did Jiang Liu come to see her but also brought a treasure, Lingyu asked with a face full of joy.
"You sit on Qiongqi's back first!" Jiang Liu instructed Lingyu.
As Jiang Liu's words fell, Qiongqi voluntarily stepped forward to Lingyu.
For Qiongqi, he is only Lingyu's mount, not the blood rain's. Therefore, when Lingyu appears, she is qualified to sit on Qiongqi's back.
If it were the blood rain who appeared, Qiongqi wouldn't want to let her sit on his back.
Even though they share the same body, they are still two different people!
After Lingyu sat on Qiongqi's back, Jiang Liu opened his bag space and took out the Purple Stream Divine Rein, then strapped it onto Qiongqi.
The other end, naturally, was held in Lingyu's hand.
"Oh? Holy Monk, this rein looks quite extraordinary!"
Beside them, Desire Heaven had not interrupted the conversation between Jiang Liu and Lingyu, but seeing the Purple Stream Divine Rein that Jiang Liu took out, couldn't help but praise it.
As a Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak level existence, Desire Heaven not only had high cultivation level but also, naturally, had keen eyesight.
"Indeed, this rein is a good treasure, capable of perfectly fusing Lingyu and Qiongqi's powers..." Jiang Liu nodded and described the ability of the Purple Stream Divine Rein.
"Ah!? Let Lingyu and Qiongqi's powers become completely integrated?" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, Desire Heaven was astonished again.
If so, wouldn't Lingyu be able to freely manipulate Qiongqi's Great Luo Peak power?
"Father, this is amazing!" Sitting on Qiongqi's back with the Purple Stream Divine Rein in her hand, Lingyu could fully feel the perfect fusion of Qiongqi's power with her own, and she said with a face full of joy.
"Lingyu, try hitting me with a palm strike, using all your strength!" Hearing about it is never as convincing as experiencing it firsthand, so Desire Heaven suggested to Lingyu.
"Ah? Third Senior Brother, this..." Hearing Desire Heaven's request to hit him with full strength, Lingyu hesitated.
Lingyu clearly understood how powerful the strength she now controlled was.
"It's okay, Lingyu. With your Father here, nothing will happen to Desire Heaven!" Noting his daughter's fear of harming Desire Heaven, Jiang Liu reassured her.
Indeed, with the means of healing and even the Soul-Returning Spell at hand, even if Desire Heaven were to die in front of him, he could revive him.
"Well, alright then, Third Senior Brother, be careful!" Encouraged by Jiang Liu, Lingyu thought for a moment and nodded.
As she spoke, Lingyu gathered all the power within her, then struck towards Desire Heaven with a palm.
This palm strike summoned storms and changed the color of the world. With Qiongqi's level 90 power plus Lingyu's own cultivation level, although it might not reach the Quasi-Saint level, it had a faint feeling of surpassing the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak level.
Seeing Lingyu's palm coming directly towards him, Desire Heaven's expression changed slightly.
From the aura sensed, it was indeed immensely powerful.
Without daring to underestimate it in the slightest, Desire Heaven also raised his palm to meet Lingyu's.
However, whether because he exerted force hastily or because the opponent's cultivation level slightly surpassed his own, when the large and small hands met, Desire Heaven only felt a tremendous force coming through.
His body swayed and he involuntarily took half a step back.
"Indeed, this cultivation level is not weaker than my own. She can truly utilize Qiongqi's cultivation level completely!" Through this palm strike, Desire Heaven felt Lingyu's commanded cultivation level firsthand and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration internally.
Although it doesn't directly enhance Lingyu's cultivation level, being able to command the ancient demon god Qiongqi's cultivation level means that Lingyu, with a bit of combat experience coaching, has already caught up to him in terms of strength, hasn't she?
"Holy Monk, this is truly an excellent treasure!"
Having personally felt the power of the Purple Stream Divine Rein and realized the treasure's significance for Lingyu and even the Netherworld Blood Sea, Desire Heaven couldn't help but exclaim to Jiang Liu.
"Of course, treasures meant for my daughter can't be subpar!" Jiang Liu replied righteously.
"Father, but I... I cannot accept this..." As Jiang Liu said this, Lingyu, sitting on Qiongqi's back, suddenly revealed a difficult expression and said to Jiang Liu.
"Why!?" Lingyu's words made Jiang Liu slightly startled.
Before Jiang Liu could reply, Desire Heaven couldn't help asking.
Yes, with such a beneficial function of the Purple Stream Divine Rein and being a divine artifact for Lingyu, why would she refuse it?
"Lingyu, do you dislike it?" Waving his hand to Desire Heaven to signal him not to speak, letting himself as the father speak well, Jiang Liu asked Lingyu.
"Of course I like it! As long as it's something given by Father, I like it!" hearing Jiang Liu's words, Lingyu answered.
"Since you like it, why don't you want it?" Jiang Liu was not surprised by Lingyu's answer, he continued to ask.
"Father, I'm certainly happy you gave me something, but if Sister gets nothing, she will be unhappy, so Lingyu can't accept it!" Lingyu answered with a troubled expression.
"Such a treasure, it's rare to find something suitable, Master Xuanzang will naturally give something suitable for Xueyu later on, keep this one first!" Upon hearing such reasoning, Desire Heaven couldn't help but urge.
However, Lingyu didn't reply to Desire Heaven's words, only shook her head seriously.
Meanwhile, her gaze fell on Jiang Liu.
Under Lingyu's gaze, the corners of Jiang Liu's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a smile.
"Alright, just accept this first, this is Father's gift to you!"
Seeing that Lingyu wanted to say something, Jiang Liu stopped her, then said, "Also don't feel uneasy that you have a treasure while Sister doesn't. In fact, Father has prepared a gift for Sister as well, just afraid Sister's gift may be better than yours, then you'll feel jealous!"
"I won't, Father!" Lingyu replied obediently after hearing Jiang Liu's words.
"Better than this Purple Stream Divine Rein? What is it?" Beside them, Desire Heaven was secretly startled.
Originally hearing Jiang Liu's words about preparing something for Xueyu, Desire Heaven thought Jiang Liu was pressured into giving something random to Xueyu.
But now it seems he misunderstood?
"Alright, let your sister come out, I have a gift for her too!" Hearing Lingyu's reply, Jiang Liu patted Lingyu's head and said.
"Oh, okay!" Lingyu obediently nodded at Jiang Liu's words.
Then she released the Purple Stream Divine Rein and got off Qiongqi.
Then, Lingyu slowly closed her eyes, and the sky-blue rune on her forehead slowly turned blood-red.
Opened her eyes, Xueyu's gaze was still filled with resentment as she stared at Jiang Liu.
That look seemingly wished to tear Jiang Liu's flesh apart and drink his blood.
"Originally, I don't care for the things you give me, but I do want to see what you'll give me!" Viciously glaring at Jiang Liu, her resentful gaze as if Jiang Liu were her sworn enemy, Xueyu spoke.
Pause for a moment, Xueyu continued, "If what you give is impressive enough, hehe, maybe I'll use it to kill you!"
Speaking these words, Xueyu's voice filled with malicious laughter, carrying a wicked aura.
"Xueyu, what are you saying? This is your father!" Hearing Xueyu's words, beside her, Desire Heaven's face turned very unpleasant, unable to help but rebuke.
The entire Netherworld Blood Sea wouldn't dare offend Master Xuanzang, yet now Xueyu speaks such venomous words? If it angers Master Xuanzang greatly and leads him to take his wrath out on the Netherworld Blood Sea?
If he acted upon the resentment, would the Netherworld Blood Sea face calamity?
Then, the whole Netherworld Blood Sea could be destroyed by Master Xuanzang's hands?
No way!
It's absolutely not allowed!
It seems Xuanzang doesn't possess such power, but, just days ago, in the great battle of the Ming Sect, Xuanzang didn't just heavily damage the mysterious figure, did he even snatch away the Absolute Immortal Sword?
That is someone who could even make Randeng flee, a ruthless character, but suffered at Xuanzang's hands.
Who is Randeng? One of the strongest among the Quasi-Saints, even the Sect Hierarch has said he wasn't confident about defeating him! It's telling enough!
Comparing strength differences.
Randeng is very strong, Sect Hierarch himself said he rivals Randeng, but the mysterious figure could make Randeng run for his life, doesn't that mean? That the mysterious figure might even be stronger than the Sect Hierarch?
Yet, the mysterious figure had their hand severed and even lost the Absolute Immortal Sword...
So, ultimately concluding, Xuanzang is stronger than the Sect Hierarch?
Any problems?
No problems at all!
After a mental comparison of the strength differential, Desire Heaven's urgency intensified, opening his mouth intending to speak, but suddenly saw Jiang Liu taking out a sword, a sword filled with the aura of annihilating the world.
"The Absolute Immortal Sword!? It's over! Holy Monk Xuanzang is truly furious..."
