Chapter 403: Chapter 91: Racing Against Time

"This has gotten interesting!" Li Qingming’s eyes narrowed as he waved his hand gently.

Thick Yuqing True Essence suddenly soared into the air, crazily infusing into the Pangu Banner.

"Swish!"

A mist of grey Chaos Qi mingled within the cyan light curtain, cascading from the top of the Pangu Banner.

"Boom!"

The fireball collided with the light curtain, the explosive might forming a cataclysmic airwave that swept out, shredding the cosmic void tens of thousands of miles away with ghastly tears, reducing countless stars to dust in its wake.

The dramatic expansion and compression of the air pressure made the thousand-mile space within highly unstable, emitting a continuous crackling and popping noise.

Li Qingming and Luo Hou were pushed back by the airwave several hundred feet, their blood churning, and their True Yuan became chaotic.

Laozi’s Tai Chi Diagram contains the Way of the Two Forms of Yin and Yang, while Primordial Venerable’s Pangu Banner harbors an extremely formidable path of assault. Indeed, among all Heavenly Creation Treasures, the Pangu Banner’s attack is the highest, surpassing even Tongtian’s Four Immortal Slaying Swords. Provided one has sufficient mana, it can unleash the full potential of the banner and grind the entire Primordial into Chaos.

"Hahaha, exhilarating!" Li Qingming laughed loudly, took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and plucked the Pangu Banner that was floating in the air.

Refined by Li Qingming’s True Yuan, the Pangu Banner seemed to have been stimulated into another form of energy.

The Pangu Banner swelled with a profound radiance, its azure-banner surface revealing countless runes and various seals, the dispersing aura of Chaos also surged, transforming into palm-sized Five-clawed Golden Dragons weaving through the surrounding space.

"Roar!"

A colossal dragon made entirely of Chaos Sword Qi burst from the Pangu Banner. Its body spanned ten thousand feet, with a girth of several tens of feet, its dragon eyes shimmering with a grey luster. Lightning flickered upon its horns, with the terrifying Chaos Divine Thunder crackling upon them.

Faced with the frenzied chaos sword qi dragon approaching, Luo Hou did not dodge, instead, his hands rolled with Demonic Qi, constantly changing Seal Techniques. Shortly after, Luo Hou bared a sinister smile at Li Qingming and said, "Fiery Demon Flame, go!"

With a push of his hands forward, a fiercely hot fireball was unleashed, ripping through the air, and slamming directly into that colossal Chaos Sword Qi!

The fireball’s momentum was like a rainbow, tearing the vast and unpredictable Chaos Sword Qi apart, directly splitting it in two and burning it to ash.

The seemingly tiny fireball, merely the size of a fist, radiated an intense heat that was palpable even hundreds of feet away.

Its unstoppable force, after shattering the Chaos Sword Qi, tore through the Cangqiong, igniting all the endless Spiritual Energy around it, and then hurtled toward the Pangu Banner spinning in the void.

"Once more!" Luo Hou’s expression was ferocious and terrifying, the black Demon Flames rising into the sky again, as round as the Great Sun, as bright as the stars.

Luo Hou controlled the immense fireball, ruthlessly smashing it towards the long dragon, with several blood-red Sword Radiances mixed in.

"Roar!"

The long dragon was majestic, its claws razor-sharp. The constantly surging Sword Qi prevented the space around it from reassembling, keeping it perpetually shattered.

"Boom!"

As the fireball approached, the giant dragon fiercely swiped down with its colossal claw. However, the fireball, seemingly sentient, dodged with a swift flash, evading the dragon’s smash and striking the top of the dragon’s head.

"Boom!" A soft sound was heard as the top of the dragon’s head was scorched to a large black char.

Enraged, the dragon roared, its grey horns glittering with light, and a grey thunderball burst forth, chasing after the previous black Demon Fireball.

One dragon and two orbs, suspended high above ten thousand feet in the air, performed a spectacle of a dragon playing with twin pearls.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Every colliding force of Qi exploded into a burst of incredibly powerful energy fluctuations. The scattered waves of energy shattered Cosmos’s myriad stars into smithereens.

At this moment, in the southwest direction of the Yin Yang Realm Battlefield.

This was the resting place for Li Qianqiu and a host of Demon Slaves. Two Yin Yang Saint Dragons, along with Xiao Tian and Xiao Di, vigilantly watched over the battlefield, behind them a dense crowd of five to six hundred thousand Demon Slaves above the Taiyi Realm.

Any force that arrived here, blinded by bloodlust, was brutally slaughtered by them, leaving not the slightest chance of mercy.

Red Silk and Li Qianqiu stood on a nearby hillside, silent against one another.

After an unknown amount of time, Red Silk suddenly sighed and said, "Qianqiu, the Demon Race has invaded the Huaxia Land. Living beings suffer, with corpses everywhere, can you really bear this?"

Li Qianqiu fell silent for a long while before saying, "There’s no question of bearing or not. I only remember the pain and hatred from my childhood, everything else is as fleeting as clouds!"

Red Silk trembled slightly and asked, "Do you not care about me either?"

"Differing stands make no matter for care or not!" Li Qianqiu’s voice was low but could hardly conceal the surging tumult within.

""

"So be it, I understand now!" Red Silk lightly bit her red lips, struggling to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes, not letting them brim over and fall. She then leapt into the air, flying straight towards Luo He and the others on the battlefield.

Li Qianqiu stretched out his hand as if he wanted to grab hold of Red Silk, but ultimately, he let it fall.

"Master, Miss Red Silk truly is admirable!" Xiao Tian, who had previously been prostrate on the ground, noticed Li Qianqiu staring blankly at the departing figure of Red Silk and understood the pain in his heart. He couldn’t help stepping forward and saying, "Although we desire the destruction of Heaven and Earth, the Demon Race is far too cruel. Once they exterminate the Human Clan and the Heavenly Court, the next target of their slaughter will likely be us. Master, you must think this over!"

This time, Li Qianqiu did not reprimand Xiao Tian but instead lowered his head, lost in thought.

...

In the sky, Luo Hou, panting heavily, glanced at the Outer Heaven Demon completely suppressed below, and stared at the grey giant dragon amidst the air, thinking, "If this continues, my Demon Race army won’t even be able to emerge from the Yin Yang Realm before being slaughtered to the last. I must think of a plan!"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly let out a long howl to the sky: "Ao!"

A howl that sounded like both a tiger’s roar and a dragon’s chant erupted from Luo Hou’s mouth, instantly spreading across the entire battlefield.

Although Li Qingming didn’t know what Luo Hou’s roar signified, a wave of unease nonetheless rose in his heart.

As expected, just as the howl sounded, an abrupt change erupted on the battlefield below. All of the Demon Race, their eyes shining with an immensely fervent look, began to have their Demonic Qi fluctuate irregularly around them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There were series of thunderous explosions on the battlefield, as huge mushroom clouds rose from various places, accompanied by the shrill and wretched screams, and an overwhelmingly pungent scent of blood.

"Self-destruction!" Li Qingming’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to accept that Luo Hou could be so ruthless.

At that moment, his mind wavered slightly.

"Die, Heavenly Demon Disintegration!"

Luo Hou’s eyes bled with Blood Radiance, and with a low roar, his True Yuan and Primordial Spirit fervently combusted. A dual-colored dark-red Sword Radiance, charged with endless vicious aura, arrived in front of Li Qingming in the blink of an eye.

Without the previous annihilation, that chill-inducing dark-red Sword Radiance directly broke through Li Qingming’s Protective True Essence and then unrelentingly slashed towards Li Qingming’s chest.

His Primordial Spirit pulsed, and Li Qingming immediately sensed the chill of the Sword Radiance, which surprisingly contained the power of Destruction Rules. Even though his flesh was comparable to the top Innate Spiritual Treasures, he could not avoid injury when attacked by the power of rules.

"Damn it, the Demon Race really is despicable!" Li Qingming cursed under his breath, lightly patted his forehead. The plain, unadorned Qiankun Tripod leaped down from the expansive Qingyun clouds above and landed directly on top of Li Qingming’s head.

"Swoosh!"

Rings of greenish light cascaded down from the tripod, securely protecting Li Qingming.

"Hum! Hum! Hum!"

A deep, bell-like sound emanated, causing all powers on the ground to be shaken into the air, with those of lower cultivation levels even bursting into blood foam on the spot!

"Pff—"

What followed was a faint grunt from the void!

The dark-red Sword Radiance, harboring a sliver of the power of Destruction Rules, did not hit Li Qingming’s body. Yet, the intense shockwave that erupted, penetrated through the light curtain cast by the Qiankun Tripod and entered Li Qingming’s internal organs.

Li Qingming spat out a mouthful of sweet-tasting blood, and his complexion flushed with a hint of red.

Luo Hou had chosen his timing too well, seizing the moment when Li Qingming was off guard, he decisively burned his True Yuan and the power of his Primordial Spirit. Although this would result in a decline in his cultivation, a full-powered slash of this nature, while it did not severely injure Li Qingming, still managed to wound him.

"Hahahaha, Li Qingming, die!" The sight of Li Qingming’s crimson blood seemed to lift Luo Hou’s spirits considerably. He laughed maniacally, with no pause in his movements.

This time he rushed forward, with his Blood Drinking Soul Devouring Saber slashing out one after another with Sword Radiance imbued with the endless power of Destruction Rules, continuously cutting through space to strike at Li Qingming!

Strike while the enemy is sick! Now that the fight had reached this point, there was no longer any right or wrong, it was simply a life-and-death struggle between two peak powers on Huaxia Land. If he did not go all out now, he would be the one whose soul perished in the next moment.

So, slay!

"Hum!"

Just as Luo Hou’s Sword Radiance kept slicing at the light curtain cast by the Qiankun Tripod, and his long knife was about to strike Li Qingming’s body, a powerful Heavenly Dao Pressure suddenly descended, its majestic force causing Luo Hou’s figure to momentarily pause. His long knife trembled, deviating from its intended path.

Li Qingming suddenly looked up, his lips curved with a sly triumphant smile, and at the center of his eyebrows, the Eye of Divine Punishment transformed from the lightning mark, from which relentless and chilling grey Divine Thunder flickered.

"Boom!"

The grey Divine Thunder surged into the sky. The myriad of black Demon Thunders in the heavens suddenly roiled and competed to strike at Luo Hou. In an instant, Luo Hou, his face filled with astonishment, was hit squarely.

To be attacked by the Demon Thunder he had summoned himself, this was an irony indeed! (To be continued.
