Chapter 990: Chapter 990: The Power of the Grand Witch

Just as Qiang Liang was about to be injured by the silver whip, lightning suddenly howled out from his body, and his form swelled up, growing hundreds of meters tall in the blink of an eye. The silver whip pierced through his body but only went through his abdomen, avoiding any vital points.

"Scram—"

Qiang Liang’s face twisted into a ferocious snarl, like a beast from Primordial Chaos roaring in anger. The sound echoed throughout the entire Liuhe great world, striking fear into the hearts of countless creatures.

The roar of the ancestral witch possessed a powerful soul-quieting and spirit-attracting force that chilled the blood of anyone who heard it.

Even Xu Zixian couldn’t help but shudder inwardly as he stared. Qiang Liang had grown to a towering height, resembling Holy Mount Buzhou, his shoulders and above merging into the thunderclouds, his stature touching the sky.

Lightning wrapped around his body, intertwining with the heavenly lightning to form an electrical net spreading into the void.

Most peculiar were the two yellow snakes that had inexplicably sprouted from Qiang Liang’s arms, equally massive, with their forked tongues flickering out, producing a chilling rustling sound.

The true form of an ancestral witch!

At that moment, Qiang Liang was a half step into entering the realm of the sage, his presence so formidable that it caused countless creatures to widen their eyes, including those flying towards this location.

Seeing such a domineering presence from Qiang Liang, many creatures turned tail and fled in fright.

"What race is this..."

Fairy Nansu’s eyes widened. The muscles on Qiang Liang’s body had a visually stunning impact, especially with the interweaving heavenly lightning, his momentum becoming even more violent, instilling a sense of insurmountable fear.

Qiang Liang raised his right fist and smashed it down toward Xu Zixian, bending forward as his tiger-headed form descended from the clouds, with blood-red eyes full of murderous intent.

Facing the oncoming aggressive punch, Xu Zixian didn’t dare to take it lightly and quickly dodged.

The giant fist crashed into the ground, and immediately, all the creatures within a million miles of the impact were jolted into the air; many close creatures were instantly killed by the shock.

The ground within ten thousand meters collapsed instantly, with canyons and cracks radiating from the center of his punch, spreading like a spider web in every direction, expanding rapidly to one hundred thousand meters in one breath and over two hundred thousand meters in the next second.

Boom—

The earth crumbled apart, huge boulders overturned like mountains, and dust rose like flames, covering Qiang Liang’s demonic form.

The land across tens of domains began to fracture as though a major earthquake of unprecedented magnitude had struck, moving mountains, overturning seas, altering the heavens and the earth.

Beneath Patriarch Bodhi’s protection, Qin Jun was shielded from Qiang Liang’s oppressive aura, but witnessing the landscape changing wildly before his eyes, with countless fragments filling his vision, his heart surged with excitement.

This was the power of an ancestral witch!

If Qiang Liang were to return to his peak, how strong would he be?

Xu Zixian retreated tens of thousands of meters, his face filled with shock as he looked at Qiang Liang’s figure.

Was the full power of a fully-realized Daluo so terrifying?

He could feel that if he had been hit just now, he would definitely have been seriously injured.

Xu Qing and numerous disciples of the Tao Court Sect were dumbstruck. Who exactly was this person?

How could he withstand a battle against such a prodigy!

Qiang Liang casually threw the Fighting Dao Secret Characters towards Qin Jun.

Fairy Nansu’s pupils shrank, and she immediately stepped forward, ready to snatch the Fighting Dao Secret Characters.

But at that moment, Patriarch Bodhi swung his Dust Brush with a speed that even Fairy Nansu couldn’t react to, sweeping the Fighting Dao Secret Characters away.

"How is this possible..."

A storm of shock and disbelief rose in Fairy Nansu’s heart. She instinctively backed away, keeping her distance from Patriarch Bodhi.

That one move was enough to show that Patriarch Bodhi was far beyond her.

As someone who had traveled through three thousand worlds, Fairy Nansu had encountered too many powerful beings, even those surpassing the sage realm, so her ability to judge was still sharp.

Meanwhile, wrapped in billions of thunderbolts, Qiang Liang roared and swung his fist at Xu Zixian once again.

Taking a step with his right foot, stones flew as his body took on a bow shape, amassing power and bursting out, the air tearing apart, streams turning into dozens of huge twisting dragons.

"Arrogant!"

Xu Zixian bellowed angrily, whipping his silver lash that swelled to a hundred feet in thickness, and struck it against Qiang Liang’s massive fist.

Boom——

Countless beings became deaf in an instant, and the surrounding space shattered outright, as intense light swept in all directions. Implacable waves of wind tore at the earth, and even the magma canopy above was obscured.

Dozens of domains shook violently, with rumbling noises echoing throughout the entire Liuhe Great World.

Beings afar screamed in horror, while those nearby met with gruesome deaths in succession.

Between those at the threshold of entering the realm of the sage and those half a step into it, it was akin to deities clashing, with mortals suffering the fallout.

"Your Majesty, take this."

Patriarch Bodhi handed the Fighting Dao Secret Characters to Qin Jun, which, upon touching them, their radiant light vanished, replaced by a golden character that hovered in the air, with a font so peculiar that Qin Jun couldn’t identify it, but it closely resembled the ’Jie’ character in the seal script of Huaxia.

The Great Dao Secret Characters!

Qin Jun’s eyes widened in disbelief, no wonder the colors of dawn had caused anomalies in his Array Dao Secret Characters and Fighting Dao Secret Characters before.

The Array Dao Secret Characters could peep into the opponent’s mind!

The Fighting Dao Secret Characters could double Qin Jun’s combat effectiveness!

What extraordinary abilities did this Great Dao Secret Character possess?

Qin Jun was filled with anticipation, just as he was pondering how to integrate the Jie Dao Secret Characters, Qiang Liang was knocked back several steps by Xu Zixian’s strike.

A body tens of thousands of feet high retreating was nothing short of a nightmare.

Fortunately, Qin Jun was in the air.

He looked up to see Xu Zixian holding the silver whip, his face burning with rage, and his right hand visibly trembling.

"Damn it... I must kill this guy!"

Xu Zixian murmured coldly, his pride deeply wounded as his hand grew numb from the shock of facing an enemy who had reached the pinnacle of the Luoshi Immortal Realm within the Daluo.

Then, he lashed out with his whip again. This time, he unleashed his full speed, making the whip snap like lightning, its silver flash darting across the heavens and earth.

Qiang Liang was repeatedly struck, forced to use his arms to protect his head. Blood marks visible to the naked eye appeared on his body at a fast pace, all extending dozens, even hundreds of feet, resembling blood-red centipedes crawling on his skin, a ghastly sight to behold.

With the bloodline of an ancestral witch, Qiang Liang possessed fearsome strength, but he ultimately wasn’t at the level of entering the realm of the sage.

As one’s cultivation progresses, the disparity between each stage widens.

Take, for instance, those entering the realm of the sage – in their eyes, there’s no difference between a Daluo at the beginning stage and a Celestial Immortal; both are beings that could be easily crushed.

This was the reason for Xu Zixian’s fury.

Being forced back repeatedly by an ant, he felt as though he’d lost face all the way beyond the ancient celestial realms.

Fairy Nansu, however, paid no attention to them, her eyes fixated on Patriarch Bodhi and Qin Jun.

Seeing Patriarch Bodhi hand over the Jie Dao Secret Characters to Qin Jun, made her so angry that her chest heaved uncontrollably.

She struggled to calm her emotions.

No matter how crucial the Great Dao Secret Characters were, they couldn’t outweigh the importance of life itself.

"What is the background of that person, to have such a powerful being aiding him..."

Fairy Nansu pondered with suspicion as she looked at Qin Jun, noting his youth. He might very well be a peerless genius; otherwise, why would there be a being stronger than those in the mid-stage of entering the realm of the sage assisting him?

Unfortunately, no matter how much she racked her brain, she couldn’t identify Qin Jun’s identity.

Because Qin Jun’s fame was confined to the Xuandang Great World, as for the name Ji Yongsheng, that was an existence from 130,000 years ago.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to take action?"

Patriarch Bodhi asked Qin Jun softly, watching Xu Zixian descend into a state of fury.
