Volume 6 Chapter 74: The Final Battle Begins (3)

Although he knew how scary the monster was, Xu Qingfan did not use his most skilled and powerful techniques, "Cycle of Life and Death" and "Life and Death Finger." Instead, he controlled Xu Zhiyuan and Xu Ying to help Liu Ziqing and Zhang Yi attack the monster.

Even though Xu Qingfan watched the monster charge towards him, he remained still, waving his hands. The "Spirit Sealing Talisman" he had just used against Liu Ziqing transformed into countless yellow lights, shooting towards the monster. Meanwhile, Xu Qingfan secretly hid the "Sky Escaping Talisman" in his palm, slowly channeling Spirit Qi into it.

As Xu Qingfan expected, even though the monster rushed at him fiercely, it could not reach him at all.

The first attack that hit the monster came from Zhang Yi’s "Great Method of Extinguishing Gods." The monster, which had been charging at Xu Qingfan without any signs of trouble, suddenly stopped, feeling an intense headache, followed by a roar of extreme pain.

Earlier, under Xu Qingfan’s plans, Zhang Yi’s "Great Method of Extinguishing Gods" was powerful but could not be used. Now, finally targeting the monster, she unleashed her fury. Even though it was just a mental attack, as Zhang Yi executed it, the space around her trembled. The monster felt as if its Original Soul was tearing apart in an instant, causing extreme pain. The agony spread through its nerves and body, and when it reached its limit, Xu Qingfan clearly saw several strange eyeballs on the monster burst apart instantly.

Then, Liu Ziqing’s psychic power attacked. Under the tremendous force that weighed over ten thousand pounds, the monster was instantly pushed back nearly a thousand feet, knocking down countless giant trees and stones along the way.

Next, Xu Qingfan used the "Spirit Sealing Talisman." Hundreds of "Spirit Sealing Talismans" turned into beams of yellow light, instantly sticking to the monster’s body, then transforming into hidden yellow energy that seeped into the monster. The monster only felt that the energy inside it suddenly became difficult to control, making it harder to move energy between the neighboring points than it was to circulate for three or four cycles before.

Not only that, but the monster also felt as if thousands of pounds of weight had been attached to its hands and feet, making its movements incredibly slow.

Finally, Xu Zhiyuan and Xu Ying arrived. Xu Zhiyuan used the Five Elements Taoist Method, and Xu Ying unleashed immense strength, attacking the monster.

In an instant, the monster was completely at a disadvantage, unable to fight back at all.

Liu Ziqing, who had previously worried about being deceived by Xu Qingfan, felt relieved upon seeing this scene, thinking that the monster was indeed not as powerful as Xu Qingfan had said, at least the abilities it showed now were just able to withstand everyone’s attacks without any worries.

However, Xu Qingfan knew that the monster was at a disadvantage just because it was caught off guard by Zhang Yi and Liu Ziqing’s attacks. So, compared to Liu Ziqing and Zhang Yi’s aggressive chase, Xu Qingfan acted much more cautiously. He secretly infused Spirit Qi into the "Sky Escaping Talisman" while forming hand seals to begin casting "Reincarnation of Life and Death."

Although it is best to be focused and still when using the "Sky Escaping Talisman" for the best effect and fastest speed, Xu Qingfan decided to cast "Reincarnation of Life and Death" to avoid Liu Ziqing’s suspicion and for extra precaution.

At the same time, Little Black flew in front of Xu Qingfan, with dark energy spreading around it, beginning to summon a "Death Clone," not to attack the monster but to protect Xu Qingfan.

And so, beside the monster, Xu Ying’s arms had grown several times larger, swinging his huge fists, as big as a sea bowl, to repeatedly strike at the monster’s head. Far away, Xu Zhiyuan moved swiftly, using various Five Elements Taoist methods to attack the monster like a rain of drops.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yi and Liu Ziqing stood side by side a hundred yards away. One looked indifferent, while the other appeared calm. One had eyes that had completely turned silver, making the space around him tremble violently, severely damaging the monster’s consciousness. The other had eyes shining brightly, using powerful psychic power to force the monster down to the ground again and again.

Until this moment, everything was going smoothly, and Zhang Yi and Liu Ziqing still had not realized the terrifying nature of the monster.

But as time went on, even though Liu Ziqing and Zhang Yi did not understand this monster, surprise and even fear showed on their faces.

Even a normal Mahayana Stage master would likely be reduced to nothing under such powerful continuous attacks, yet this monster continued to roar in pain and hatred. Its body was cracking under the immense strength of Xu Ying and Liu Ziqing, but its self-recovery speed was surprisingly faster than the damage it received. Each time it was knocked down, it stood up again as if nothing had happened, and its previous wounds had almost healed.

Compared to Liu Ziqing, Zhang Yi felt even more fear in her heart. All her attacks targeted the monster’s consciousness. By now, her "Great Method of Extinguishing Gods" had hit the monster nearly a hundred times. After so many attacks, even a master would have become foolish, yet the monster’s consciousness seemed to be a tangle of countless remnants. Although Zhang Yi could destroy one strand of consciousness with each attack, it was still far from enough to destroy the monster’s tangled consciousness completely.

This one-sided situation continued for who knows how long until the monster could no longer bear it and completely erupted.

Liu Ziqing’s psychic power and Xu Ying’s immense strength were mighty, yet the monster paid no attention to them. It had long grown accustomed to the pain in its body after Zhang Xusheng had dissected it for the fourth time. Moreover, its self-healing ability surpassed the damage inflicted by Liu Ziqing and Xu Ying. Xu Zhiyuan’s Five Elements Taoist methods also seemed chaotic like a storm, but to the monster, they were nothing more than a fly buzzing around.

What truly made it furious was Zhang Yi’s "Great Method of Extinguishing Gods." With each attack, it felt as if its pain was about to explode, a torment that reached deep into its soul, greater than even Zhang Xusheng’s live dissections.

When the pain became unbearable, the monster finally exploded.

"Awo…"

Suddenly, the monster let out a loud roar, its power surged dramatically, and within the roar, there were faint sounds of countless demon beasts’ cries echoing before their deaths. At the same time, the many eyes on the monster began to flicker with strange and mysterious lights, making it seem as if it was surrounded by a circle of colorful glow. Though the lights were dazzling, they brought a strong sense of eerie danger.

Meanwhile, everyone clearly felt the Spirit Qi of the five elements around them becoming chaotic.

Xu Qingfan naturally knew what this meant. Under his command, Xu Ying and Xu Zhiyuan stopped attacking, using all their speed to dash quickly into the distance.

Although Liu Ziqing didn’t understand the monster as well as Xu Qingfan, he reacted very quickly. As soon as he sensed the dangerous aura, he immediately grabbed Zhang Yi beside him and quickly retreated backward without hesitation.

"Boom…"

Finally, the fierce and dangerous aura reached its peak and erupted. Under the monster’s control, the Spirit Qi of the five elements around it began to violently clash with one another. In an instant, there were thunder and lightning, flying sand and stones, raging fire and icy chill, and beams of gold and poisonous wood that suddenly appeared within three hundred feet around it. They either merged together or collided, creating a terrifying force.

After a long time, when the dust settled, everyone’s vision finally cleared, and they saw the scene around the monster, gasping in shock.

As the cultivator’s skills grew and their level increased, they originally relied on the Five Elements Taoist Method as their main approach. However, they discovered that their training in the Five Elements had reached its peak and gradually began to move away from it, seeking to cultivate at a higher level. For example, Xu Qingfan started practicing the "Formula of Life and Death," while Jin Qinghan began training in the righteous energy of Heaven and Earth through Buddhist powers. Even Feng Qingtian was practicing the "Guardian Deity Technique" to seek a breakthrough, not to mention Liu Ziqing, who directly transformed his body into the Original Soul form.

At that moment, the scene before everyone showed just how terrifying the power would be after the Five Elements Spirit Qi was cultivated to the extreme and began to blend and mix together.

It was seen that within a three hundred zhang radius around the demon, except for the small area under its feet, everything was struck down by the furious energy, creating a dark pit with a radius of three hundred zhang that seemed bottomless. Everyone trembled; if their response had been even a moment slower, even someone as powerful as Liu Ziqing would have suffered serious injury that could never be healed, and the others would have turned to ashes.

In the sky, pieces of torn yellow talismans floated like yellow butterflies, slowly descending into the bottomless pit; they were the "Spirit Sealing Talismans" that the demon had expelled from its body.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qingfan silently felt relieved. Thankfully, under Liu Ziqing’s psychic power, the demon had been struck back several hundred zhang away in an instant. Otherwise, he would be unable to move as he cast his spells and would have been completely destroyed.

While everyone stared in awe at the demon’s terrifying power, it showed no hesitation. With another roar, it pounced towards Xu Qingfan once more.

Liu Ziqing, pulling Zhang Yi beside him, looked hesitant as if he was considering whether to continue helping Xu Qingfan.

The demon had quickly closed in on Xu Qingfan again, its mouth wide open, with black fog swirling inside. Despite gaining a strong ability to control the Five Elements Spirit Qi through the absorption of countless demon beasts, the demon’s true skill still lay in the mutated death energy within it.

Seeing that Liu Ziqing finally chose not to help, Xu Qingfan sighed softly. Thankfully, his "Cycle of Life and Death" was ready.

Suddenly, Xu Qingfan raised his hands, and a black-and-white yin-yang symbol appeared above the demon’s head. As Xu Qingfan gently pressed his hands, the symbol slowly began to spin and quickly pressed down toward the demon.
