Chapter 408: Chapter 96: Luo the Demon Decapitated

Below the empty and dazzling Cangqiong, the grand armies of the Heavenly Court and the tributors from the Human Clan’s Tributor Pavilion, all watched from a distance at this mysterious little hill.

On the Yin Yang Realm Battlefield, abounding with unruly Spiritual Energy fluctuations, there were shocking traces of blood seeping out, countless severed limbs piled up like mountains, and the endless stench of bloodshed, inducing chills upon sight and nausea upon smell.

Yet even so, they did not make a sound. All were dumbstruck, some even looking at the solitary figure on the hill with dread.

Li Qingming’s eyes were wide with fury as he suddenly grasped the Five-Colored Divine Stone. The majestic purple Vitality Power swiftly penetrated the Divine Stone, instantly shattering Luo Hou’s flesh and extracting his Primordial Spirit.

This Primordial Spirit of Luo Hou was about a foot tall, pitch-black like ink and emaciated. Naked, wearing nothing at all, his crimson eyes were filled with endless resentment, and atop his head, a pair of devil horns stood towering towards the sky, exuding a razor-sharp Devil Power.

"Luo Hou, you first invaded Huaxia Land, then harmed my kin! Today, I will suppress your Primordial Spirit in the Nine Nether Purgatory and burn it daily with Chaos Divine Flame. After a Calamity, I will let your soul disperse, damned forever to never reincarnate!" Li Qingming’s eyes shot out an extremely icy Divine Light, his voice even colder, piercing through the soul.

"Hahaha, do you think I, the old ancestor, am easily frightened? Come then, do not let me escape this worldly realm. Otherwise, I will degrade all of your Divine Souls in the Nine Nether, doomed forever without the chance to overturn your fates!" Luo Hou – now a captured prisoner – remained arrogantly unafraid, not intimidated by Li Qingming’s words.

Li Qingming remained unmoved, with a stroke of his right hand into the Void, a gateway emerged, dark and unfathomable. Within the gateway, thick Evil Qi burst forth, and the dim fireflies that danced emitted an extremely sinister atmosphere.

He took a step, about to enter. But an elderly voice rang out in his ear.

"Wait a moment, you little rascal! You should ask him, where are the Xuanhuang Qi and the Source of All Realms? Even if you won’t need them later, that doesn’t mean Yanran or Qinglingzi won’t need them! In any case, these two things are safest only when controlled in one’s own hands."

Li Qingming paused his steps, setting up a Sealing Heaven and Earth Void Great Formation around him, and faced the Void to say, "Senior Yang Mei, don’t you want to obtain these two things?"

Hong Jun and others, who were quietly observing from the lofty Void, stepped out from space.

Yang Mei, clothed in a lush green robe, said, "Want? Why wouldn’t I want? But these things in our hands are merely wishes. In your hands, they’re different. At the very least, they can help elevate your Cultivation. Think about the Chasing Daoists who appeared in the past—if they were to attack Huaxia Land, do you think our Cultivation level could withstand them?"

Li Qingming was silent for a long while, then suddenly grabbed Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit. His hand pressed lightly against Luo Hou’s forehead, intending to directly read his memories. This Xuanhuang Qi and Source of All Realms were priceless Taoist treasures, containing secrets of the Great Dao, a shortcut to achieving Supreme Saint status. There was no room for loss!

"Ah! I, the old ancestor, will not let you have your way!" Luo Hou struggled furiously, roaring loudly, as his entire Primordial Spirit began to burn with blazing black Devil Flames.

Li Qingming’s eyes narrowed, a single hand tapped his forehead, and immediately summoned the Qiankun Tripod to suppress him.

Oddly though, at this moment, Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit became slippery, difficult to control. The black Devil Flames that blazed upon him grew more and more intense. Even using Vitality Power to nurture his Primordial Spirit was useless.

"Hahaha! Xuanhuang Qi, Origin of All Realms, none of you can get your hands on it! With my own Essence Energy, I shall incinerate immeasurable Demon Gods. You, Li Qingming, cannot control me, nor can the Heavenly Dao. Hahaha..." Luo Hou’s voice became increasingly coarse and arrogant. The surging demonic flames burned the Void, causing cracks to appear.

Li Qingming’s brows were tightly furrowed as he made every effort to stop Luo Hou’s self-destruction of his Primordial Spirit.

Xuanhuang Qi and the Origin of All Realms are of great significance, the supreme shortcut to becoming a Supreme Saint. Coupled with the previous message left by the Chasing Daoist, Huaxia Heaven and Earth might not be safe.

"Hahaha! Hong Jun, you are merely the spokesperson of the Hua Xia Heavenly Dao, but after all, you are not the Heavenly Dao itself. The demise of Hua Xia could come at any moment! And you, Li Qingming, might as well walk towards the end with me!" Luo Hou’s pitch-black Primordial Spirit transformed into a blazing flame and slowly dissipated.

As Luo Hou was a Heavenly Dao from another realm, his understanding of the Heavenly Dao was likely no less than Xuanhu’s. If he wanted to die, nobody could stop him. Especially with something like the Primordial Spirit, it is beyond control and cannot be confined.

The spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, of course, escapes into the Void, merging with the Heavenly Dao. If it weren’t for Luo Hou’s desire to devour Huaxia Land, he would never have entered Huaxia with his entire Primordial Spirit and would not have walked step by step towards demise.

"Heavenly Dao, in the name of me, Li Qingming, grant me the power of the Confinement Rule!" Li Qingming suddenly raised his head and shouted, a circle of pale blue radiance flickered from the talisman on his brow, and eerie fluctuations spread out into the sky along the Void.

Xuanhu felt a choke in her heart, followed by a scoff: "Has Li Qingming gone mad or become delusional? Does he think he is someone who can demand in his own name?"

Xuanhu knew, even though she didn’t want to admit it, that Li Qingming, in the span of one Calamity, had reached the Late Stage of the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal—a genius favored by heaven. But he wasn’t a spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao like Hong Jun, making it incredibly difficult to wield the Power of Heaven.

Furthermore, based on the tone of Li Qingming’s command, it was clear he had a trace of authority. Does he really think he’s become a Supreme Saint?

However, compared to Xuanhu, Hong Jun and Yang Mei looked as though they thought this was all expected, as if it was natural.

"Weng!"

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, seeming to lower the entire Cangqiong by a notch.

Afterward, a majestic aura came from the distant sky, several golden streaks of light flew in, turning into intricate and mysterious golden runes within the Void that Li Qingming sealed and controlled.

"Hiss!" Xuanhu’s complexion turned deathly white, her back instantly covered in cold sweat, and she muttered to herself incessantly, "This is too terrifying! From now on, unless absolutely necessary, one must never lightly provoke this harbinger of doom!"

"Confinement!" Li Qingming pointed with a single hand at Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit, and those runes descended from the sky, surrounding Luo Hou completely.

"Hahaha, be annihilated!" Suddenly, a loud roar came from Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit. His Primordial Spirit Body began to struggle violently, then, with a bang, it exploded.

At that moment, Li Qingming’s Confinement Technique had not yet fallen, but Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit had already completely blasted apart! (To be continued.
