Chapter 84: Joining Forces with Yang Qi to Suppress All Enemies
Both the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow and Yang Qi looked extremely disheveled! Ever since separating from Shi Jian, Yang Qi had been cultivating freely in the sea!
He refined the corpses of fallen powerhouses while hunting various strong individuals. The number of Divine Elephant micro-particles in his body also surged to fifty or sixty. He even completed a second Life Seizing.
However, his strength was still far inferior to Shi Jian's. Even in this sea, he found it difficult to contend against Venerable-level powerhouses. Usually, when he encountered Venerable-level powerhouses, he would avoid them if possible.
But then he ran into the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow. After being scared away by Shi Jian, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow immediately encountered Yang Qi.
The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow had seen Shi Jian use the Wings of the Devil and the Hell Furnace. Now, he saw these two Divine Abilities on Yang Qi, and greed immediately arose within him.
After all, these clearly appeared to be extremely powerful treasured arts. The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow wanted to capture Yang Qi and obtain the cultivation methods for these two Divine Abilities from him.
He was also very insidious and launched a sneak attack. However, Yang Qi reacted quickly and did not let him succeed. Thus, one person and one Yao Beast began to fight above the sea.
Yang Qi was no match for the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow and could only passively take a beating, barely clinging to his life! Therefore, he could only fight while fleeing.
After fleeing for a distance, the fluctuations from the Kunpeng Nest suddenly passed near them. Upon encountering these fluctuations, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow's strength was instantly suppressed.
Yang Qi seized the opportunity to counterattack, directly knocking off more than half of the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow's feathers. The tables turned, and it was Yang Qi's turn to pursue the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow.
However, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow was an old Venerable, after all, and a bird. He was considered the overlord of the sky. Therefore, although his cultivation was suppressed, it was still very difficult for Yang Qi to kill him.
It became another chase and escape. As they chased and fled, the waves passed, and the Kunpeng Nest's suppression on powerhouses above the Spiritual Realm disappeared…
The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow, upon realizing his power had returned, chased after Yang Qi again. One person and one Yao Beast, you chase, I flee, I chase, you flee, they fought all the way to the vicinity of the Kunpeng Nest.
Yang Qi looked somewhat disheveled, but the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow was even worse, with all his feathers plucked clean!!! Both the person and the Yao Beast had fought with true fire.
"Is that the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow? Who is that person, to actually be able to contend with the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow?" Countless people surrounding the Kunpeng Nest were all shocked upon seeing this scene.
This was the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow, after all. A powerhouse of the Venerable Realm, before entering the Kunpeng Nest, the Kunpeng Nest could not fully suppress his strength! It could only occasionally suppress it.
In other words, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow could intermittently display Venerable-level combat power. Yet, Yang Qi could contend with him, and even suppress him in a fight… Isn't this too terrifying?
If this person were to enter the Kunpeng Nest, he would definitely be a hidden danger. Countless people revealed strange lights in their eyes.
Fighting for the Kunpeng treasured art was a perfectly normal thing. Everyone had fought their way here, and so many battles had erupted…
Aside from some being due to revenge killings, the rest were all to reduce competitors. And now, in the eyes of many, Yang Qi was an extremely strong competitor!
He could fight the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow, who occasionally displayed Venerable strength, to a standstill; if he entered the Kunpeng Nest, who would be his opponent?
In this sea region, there were many people who had not yet boarded the Kunpeng Nest. There were pure-blooded creatures from the sea, and also some young faces, said to be descendants of the Sea God, descendants of Venerables who had transformed into human form, extraordinarily transcendent!
These individuals were fierce and heroic, all top figures in the Spiritual Realm! If they were to engage in battle with others, they could definitely sweep aside numerous opponents.
A struggle for dominance was destined to occur here, with strong individuals rising and heroes dancing together. Only the strongest could obtain the treasured art.
The power among the various Alliances was relatively balanced. Each had their own confidence. But when they saw Yang Qi, they all felt powerless to contend with him…
This person was too strong, too terrifying. The matter of Shi Jian slaying a Venerable had also spread throughout this sea region.
However, this matter was too outrageous. Aside from those who witnessed it, others did not believe it.
But Yang Qi's combat power was genuinely displayed before everyone's eyes. He was fighting against the Venerable Realm Sky-Swallowing Sparrow!
Even if the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow's strength fluctuated, the fact that he could not kill Yang Qi even when displaying Venerable methods was undeniable.
The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow gradually fell into a disadvantage. The closer they got to the Kunpeng Nest, the faster his strength was suppressed.
If this continued, his strength would be completely suppressed to the Spiritual Realm, and he would be instantly slain by Yang Qi. He felt the pressure.
He looked towards the distant sea: "This child's strength is terrifying. If he is allowed to enter the Kunpeng Nest, we will have no hope of obtaining the treasured art. Please, everyone, join forces with me to slay him!"
The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow sensed several Venerable auras hidden in the dark. He quickly shouted.
As soon as his words came out, some people were immediately moved, but no one intervened.
Seeing this, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow's expression sank, and he could only continue to shout: "The treasured art this child possesses is extremely terrifying, no less inferior to the Kunpeng treasured art. Obtaining one art is enough to dominate the world. Why are you all not acting?"
The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow had fought Yang Qi and clearly felt the terror of Yang Qi's Divine Abilities. This was also why he continued to entangle with Yang Qi even after realizing the situation was not good.
He wanted to improve too much. He was too greedy. He wanted to capture Yang Qi and then force out Yang Qi's terrifying Divine Abilities.
His greed went too far, which led to his current predicament. Previously, his cultivation was not severely suppressed, and he could have escaped at any time.
But he didn't escape. Now, he didn't even have a chance to escape. Yang Qi clung to him tightly.
As soon as the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow uttered these words, some people were immediately tempted.
"The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow is a Venerable, and this youth's cultivation has not been suppressed, at most he is in the Spiritual Realm… but relying on his treasured arts, he can actually suppress the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow in a fight!"
"Even the Ten Fiend's treasured arts are probably not more than this, right?" Numerous creatures discussed, and the atmosphere was heavy.
The Hell Furnace, Nether God's Spear, Nethergod Guard, and Wings of the Devil that Yang Qi displayed were all extraordinary Divine Abilities. He was able to contend with the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow precisely because of these things.
Although everyone was pursuing the Kunpeng treasured art, pursuing the Ten Fiend's treasured arts… But they had never truly seen the power of the Ten Fiend's treasured arts.
They thought, perhaps, the Ten Fiend's treasured arts were nothing more than this?
"I'm interested in his Divine Abilities. I wonder which Alliance's Genius he is. Quickly, take him down…" Someone sneered at the corner of his mouth, then spoke.
Behind him were many Divine Servants. At his command, these Divine Servants instantly moved out.
There were also Venerable Realm powerhouses hidden in the dark, preparing to seize the opportunity to act, planning to slay the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow and then abduct Yang Qi.
And there were also those waiting for the mantis to stalk the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
In the sea, a large group of powerhouses instantly emerged, preparing to join forces with the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow to besiege Yang Qi! Venerable-level powerhouses were hidden among these people.
Suddenly being besieged by so many people, even Yang Qi, if he was slightly careless, would be slain. However, he was not afraid in the slightest.
Because… that familiar voice sounded once again. "I'll help you!"
Shi Jian slowly walked out from the Void Realm, approaching this sea region step by step. Yang Qi still hadn't forgotten that night when his cultivation was crippled…
That… um, child who descended from the sky! At this moment, it was just like that moment.
Behind Shi Jian, the Ten Heavenly Passage Boundary emerged, connecting together to form an immortal divine ring, possessing a destructive aura!
Countless people trembled upon sensing this aura, as if facing a natural enemy. Those who had personally witnessed Shi Jian punching a Dragon Venerable to death immediately turned and fled without a word!
They still knew their limits. They were confident they could besiege and kill Yang Qi, who could contend with the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow!
But Shi Jian, that was truly beyond human power. The remaining people were utterly bewildered.
He was just a child, no matter how strong his talent, how strong could he be? Why are you all running away?
Facing the numerous small fries, Shi Jian used a treasured art he hadn't used in a long time. Undefeated King Fist!
Although the power of this quasi-king level absolute art from Yang Qi was not high, it was exceptionally domineering and majestic.
A gigantic three-headed, six-armed Dharma Idol formed behind Shi Jian. This colossal Dharma Idol spanned several kilometers of the sea, like a giant of the heavens!
A terrifying aura swept across the entire scene. The Dharma Idol giant reached out and grabbed into the Void Realm, and six Nether God's Spears, like heavenly pillars, condensed in his hands.
Shi Jian's Nethergod Guard spread out, instantly enveloping the Dharma Idol giant's body. A dark golden, ferocious armor instantly protected the Dharma Idol giant's body.
The three-headed, six-armed Dharma Idol giant summoned by the Undefeated King Fist, holding the Nether God's Spear and wearing the Nethergod Guard, was armed to the teeth.
Among the three ferocious heads, each had its own unique characteristics. In the eyes of one head, electric light flickered, mastering the power of lightning runes.
One head spat flames, with red hair and beard, mastering the power of fire runes. One head was entirely blue, and with each breath, clouds and rain formed!
Although the Undefeated King Fist was low-Rank, it couldn't withstand so many enchantments from Shi Jian. It was instantly reborn, transforming into an existence like a Demonic God. (Someone awesome, draw a picture!)
The Nether God's Spears in the Dharma Idol giant's hands swept across, and from the three heads, three different powers poured out…
In the blink of an eye, countless powerhouses fell at the hands of the Dharma Idol giant! Screams of agony were everywhere.
Blood stained the ground, and countless severed limbs fell upon the sea… In an instant, all of these were refined by the Hell Furnace. Not a single drop of essence blood was wasted.
"He's not human, he's a God…"
"…Such terrifying strength, Old Ancestor, save me…" Pleading, shock, and wails of agony were everywhere.
This terrifying scene, these people would probably never forget it in their lives. On the distant ships, the Divine Sons and Divine Daughters who had come with Shi Jian were even more terrified, trembling all over.
Fortunately, they were barely considered to be on Shi Jian's side. Otherwise, they would be scattered everywhere now.
Let alone the people from other Alliances, even Yang Qi's eyes lit up as he looked at this Dharma Idol giant. The Undefeated King Fist could be used this way?
He imitated Shi Jian, forming a Dharma Idol giant behind him. It was just that his giant was a size smaller than Shi Jian's.
However, the configuration was not lacking at all. Nethergod Guard, Nether God's Spear, Hell Furnace… Two Dharma Idol Giants, one large and one small, directly rampaged across the entire scene!
They were taught by the same master. Yang Qi and Shi Jian's Cultivation soared.
The two of them resembled gods and devils, looking exactly like Demonic Path Cultivators. They summoned their Dharma Idol True Bodies to clear out the small fry, while their main bodies hunted down the Venerables hidden among the numerous Cultivators.
Yang Qi grew stronger with each battle, holding the Nether God's Spear in one hand and unleashing the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist with the other!
The Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist excels in power and overwhelming opponents with sheer force, making it most suitable for the two who primarily cultivate the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength.
Therefore, both he and Shi Jian cultivated the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist. With the two ultimate Divine Abilities used in unison, the entire sea churned constantly!
The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow opposite him was instantly beaten back, secretly crying out in misery!
Shi Jian was even more formidable; countless runes spread around him, and whenever someone withstood the Dharma Idol Giant's slaughter, he would immediately flash over to deliver the finishing blow.
A single punch from the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist swept across the entire world. In a section of the sea, waves surged.
Countless powerhouses, even before coming into contact with the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist, could not withstand its terrifying power and exploded!
A powerhouse of the Venerable Realm hidden in the crowd, facing such terrifying power, instantly let out a long roar, no longer concealing his Cultivation, and instantly displayed a terrifying aura…
However, he displayed his power not to contend with Shi Jian. But to escape.
In the blink of an eye, he had run several thousand miles over the sea. But it was useless; the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist swept across the entire sea, and endless surging waves blocked his path!
Overwhelming sea waves pressed down, submerging this Venerable. When the waves receded, there was no trace of the Venerable.
Only faint traces of blood in the waves indicated the Venerable's end!
Over the past half-month, Shi Jian's strength had advanced significantly once again. Now, he slaughters Venerables as if butchering dogs!
Seeing Shi Jian's formidable performance, Yang Qi was also greatly stimulated. Both cultivated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, yet Shi Jian had far surpassed him.
If this continued, how could he stand by Shi Jian's side?
Yang Qi's heart hardened, and the True Qi within him exploded, igniting all his Qigong under immense pressure. A scorching sun slowly rose above his head, illuminating eternity.
With him at the center, countless phenomena appeared around him. "Gods' Pure Land, Slaying Immortals and Slaughtering Devils, Burying All Heavens!"
Yang Qi roared to the sky, his ambition fierce, and an ancient, profound aura spread from his body. The Hell Furnace was pushed to its limit by him.
His Demonic Wings behind him flickered, and Yang Qi grabbed with a large hand, the Nether God's Spear condensing once more.
This Nether God's Spear grew longer and larger, and when it thrust out again, its power was so immense it could almost pierce through the sun and moon.
At the tip of the Nether God's Spear, a miniature black hole even appeared. It seemed to want to absorb all light into it.
This strike, drawing upon the creation of Heaven and Earth, showcased the power of the Giant Elephant to its fullest.
One spear after another, the Nether God's Spear pierced through the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow's claws. Just now, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow had pounced with a claw, and various Yao Beast treasure arts had manifested on its enormous claw.
But its myriad transformations were pierced through by Yang Qi's single spear.
"Ah…" The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow let out a pained cry, then burned its life force, pushing its power to the extreme to transform into streaks of shadows.
Each shadow turned into a terrifying wind blade, then charged towards Yang Qi.
Yang Qi felt immense pressure, but he was fearless, full of ambition, ready to clash head-on with the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow.
"Third Life Seizure, advancing to invincibility…" He roared again. This roar startled Shi Jian, who then looked in Yang Qi's direction.
He saw the vast Heaven and Earth Origin Qi around Yang Qi run wild, and various vital energies in the sky formed vortices, transforming into various shapes, these things changing into different forms.
Some took the form of gods and devils, some of ferocious beasts, some were flames, and some were thunder… Various forces mixed together. The entire area almost became a desolate land!
After Yang Qi completed his second Life Seizure and plundered much life Origin, and now, after his great slaughter here, his strength had reached the level of the third Life Seizure!
Therefore, he directly achieved a breakthrough during the battle. After the third Life Seizure, his strength instantly surged significantly.
The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow had just reached his side when it was immediately repelled by him. The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow's massive body shattered once more.
The rise and fall happened in but a blink of an eye. Shi Jian watched this scene, his jaw instantly dropping.
"Aren't you the protagonist, bro? A breakthrough during battle?" "Hmm, he really is the protagonist… Then it's fine!!!"
The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow had not completely died; its figure reappeared and immediately fled into the distance. But it was too late.
Yang Qi reached out and grabbed it, refining it in an instant. His Cultivation, which had just broken through and was still slightly unstable, immediately stabilized.
"Slaying Yao Beasts and Devils, unparalleled in the world…" Yang Qi laughed heartily.
Shi Jian looked at the incredibly chuunibyou Yang Qi, feeling a bit speechless. The difference in their styles was evident here.
When Yang Qi fought, he would always shout slogans like "Slaughtering Gods and Devils, Pure Land of Gods, Unparalleled in the World," aiming for passionate fervor. His opponents were the same.
When using their peerless Divine Abilities, they would also shout terrifying slogans. However, the Perfect World had a different style…
"This child's strength is terrifyingly formidable; the treasure arts he possesses are probably no weaker than the Ten Fiend's Treasure Arts, and even the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow died by his hand!"
"Where did these two people come from? Their treasure arts seem identical; one can slay Venerables, and the other slays Venerables like butchering dogs!"
"Could it be deities descending to the mortal Realm? With these two here, who can contend with them?" Those who had fortunately escaped from a distance let out a series of exclamations.
Shi Jian's strength was immense, and he clearly heard what they said even from a great distance. He picked his ears, feeling a bit speechless.
This was the old tradition of the Perfect World. No matter the Rank of the war, or the Rank of the Divine Ability… There would always be onlookers discussing and exclaiming!
The entire sea was thoroughly cleansed by the two, but although they were powerful, there were still some stragglers who managed to escape.
However, these stragglers would probably have nightmares at night whenever they recalled this scene!
"A breakthrough during battle, kid, you're playing quite fancy…" As the battle ended, Shi Jian walked up to Yang Qi, clapped him on the shoulder, and then burst into laughter!
Yang Qi also smiled, "Third Life Seizure, now I have even more confidence in suppressing Yun Hailan!"
Having made a trip to the Perfect World, he gained a lot. He directly broke through from the first Life Seizure to the third Life Seizure… The crucial point was that the time in his own world was anchored.
When he returned to the Saint King World, not a single minute or second would have passed in the Saint King World.
"This time, I owe it all to you!" Yang Qi expressed his gratitude to Shi Jian.
"We're brothers, no need to be so polite…" Shi Jian waved his hand.
"Inside the Kunpeng's lair, besides the Kunpeng Method, there are quite a few other things… Since you're here, why not explore it with me!"
"Once we obtain the Kunpeng Method and leave this place, we'll head to your world to slay Yun Hailan!" Shi Jian made arrangements for their next actions.
Yang Qi nodded, having no objections. Finally, the two walked towards the Kunpeng's lair.
Many people were still gathered at the Kunpeng's lair. However, these people did not attack Shi Jian or Yang Qi, so the two naturally wouldn't proactively kill them to refine corpses.
After all, they were righteous characters. Although they killed people, refined corpses, and devoured people's Physical Body essence and Soul power… They were still good people.
The Alliance of forces that had not taken action were now immensely relieved. They looked at the two approaching them with fear, reverence, and even some admiration!
Having witnessed the astonishing battle just now, no one could harbor even a shred of arrogance in front of Shi Jian and Yang Qi.
They even had to worry that Shi Jian and Yang Qi, caught up in the killing, might also slaughter them. Too brutal!
These two young figures, like gods and devils, were deeply etched into their hearts. Everyone clearly knew one thing in their hearts. Things were about to change.
Shi Jian and Yang Qi ignored the people around them and walked towards the Kunpeng's lair. The beings on the vast stone steps quickly made way for them when they saw them approaching.
In the azure sea, a vast expanse, crimson like a tide, the two quickly arrived at the stone cliff. It was barren and desolate here, with only faint rays of light appearing and disappearing, and mysterious fluctuations spreading.
"There's an ancient primordial formation here…" Shi Jian looked into the distance and discovered the ancient formation. Some beings who stepped onto the ancient formation were teleported to other places.
"Let's go… This is the passage to the Kunpeng's lair!" Shi Jian said calmly to Yang Qi, who nodded, and then the two stepped onto the ancient formation and disappeared from that spot.
After they disappeared, others cautiously approached. They also discovered this ancient formation and knew it was the entrance to the Kunpeng's lair.
However, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to enter. If it had been before, they would have rushed in eagerly.
Fearing that they would fall behind and miss the opportunity of the Kunpeng Treasure Art. But now…
"With these two monsters entering the Kunpeng's lair, should they still enter?"
Just thinking about the terrifying strength the two had displayed earlier, everyone felt their bodies tremble with fear.
"Let us contend with these two monsters for the Kunpeng Treasure Art? Is this real or fake?" Everyone fell into self-doubt!!! No one dared to enter.
