Chapter 1314: Battling Against Zhengtian Mo

In the face of imminent danger, the Dragon Bloodline within Qingfeng Li's body exerted its power, forcing his blood to remain in his body.

At the same time, from deeper within him, Qingfeng Li's Devourer Bloodline awoke. All this time, the Devourer Bloodline had been hiding in the deepest areas within him, unwilling to show itself easily. But now, having caught the scent of blood, it emerged and expressed its ravenous desire for other bloodlines.

Once again, the Devourer Bloodline acted of its own accord. Upon the surface of Qinfgeng Li's body, there formed a black vortex. Exuding a force even greater than the Godly Vampire Technique, it set its sights on the first elder's blood-red whirlpool, consuming it and turning its power into its own.

"Bastard! You broke my Godly Vampire Technique!" The first elder's face was visibly pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked like a man who'd just lost his family.

Now, it should be said that the Godly Vampire Technique was the most powerful technique in the Devil-Imperial Sect. And having mastered the technique fully, the first elder's Godly Vampire Technique was as powerful as it was vile.

Before now, the first elder had only to use this technique and blood would burst from other self-cultivators's bodies and be drawn into his own, turning into the first elder's power instead.

This time, however, it was the first elder's Godly Vampire Technique that was struck down by Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li's Devourer Bloodline, having devoured the first elder's blood-red whirlpool, increased massively in power. The vital essence within Qingfeng Li grew as well, almost to the point of another breakthrough.

Qingfeng Li felt that his body was filled with power, just like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

"first elder," Qingfeng Li sneered, there was murder in his eyes. "Your Godly Vampire Technique isn't effective, what will you fight me with now?"

Qingfeng Li's Fire Emperor Sword abruptly shot forward, stabbing through the air, it left a massive slash in the air itself.

Calling forth his own vital essence, the first elder created a defensive energy veil in an attempt to ward off Qingfeng Li's attack.

But it was no use. With his power massively increased, Qingfeng Li was like a tiger charging downhill. His Fire Emperor Sword stabbed forward like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing through the first elder's defensive energy veil and straight into his heart, running it through in one swift motion.

Kaboom!

The first elder's body fell to the ground, his lifeless eyes still open in denial, unwilling to admit defeat.

"Dang, isn't Qingfeng Li a little too strong? The first elder is of the Half-Step Spirit Emperor Realm, how is it possible that he was killed by Qingfeng Li in an instant?! This guy is an absolute monster!"

The self-cultivators gathered about were all shocked by the scene they'd just witnessed, their eyes filled with awe.

"So weak." Looking down at the corpse of the first elder, Qingfeng Li shook his head in distaste.

Hearing this, the surrounding crowd was dumbfounded.

Seriously? This was a Half-Step Spirit Emperor Ream master, not some random guy off the streets, and Qingfeng Li just writes him off as being "too weak"?!

Standing to the side, the Devil-Imperial Sect's Second Elder froze in fear. He never would have thought that the first elder, stronger than even him, was killed by Qingfeng Li in an instant.

Turning to the Second Elder, Qingfeng Li wasn't about to let him off the hook. He abruptly swung his Fire Emperor Sword forward, releasing a wave of fiery sword energy.

Swish!

Qingfeng Li's long sword cut the Second Elder's head straight off. The force sent the head flying quite a distance, spewing blood everywhere.

Seeing this unfold, the whole crowd took a step back. They stared at Qingfeng Li warily, as if they were staring at a god of death.

Qingfeng Li is too strong. In just a few minutes, he had slain three of the Devil-Imperial Sect's Elders like he was slicing melons, not even giving them a chance to fight back.

"Look, Zhentian Mo," Qingfeng Li said haughtily. "This is your Devil-Imperial Sect's precious Elders. What pieces of garbage. You're up next. I'm about to send you to hell with them."

"Qingfeng Li," Zhentian Mo spoke coldly, his face a dark mask and cold fury in his eyes. "You think that, just because you killed the first elder, no one can stop you? I'll be the one to destroy you today!"

Zhentian Mo walked forward. The ground beneath him quivered with each step as a blaze of sky-rending force erupted from his body. The sky darkened as the force obscured the sun, turning day into night, making Zhentian Mo look like a demonic god.

Feeling the overpowering force flowing from Zhentian Mo, Qingfeng Li's face fell. Surprised, he spoke. "You are not just Half-Step Spirit Emperor Realm, you are a Spirit Emperor Realm master."

"That's right. In Hell, I acquired an Emperor Class Elixir. By absorbing it, I've now achieved the Spirit Emperor Realm!" Zhentian Mo roared with arrogant laughter. "I bet you didn't even think of that, did you? Today is the day you die!"

The gathered crowd stood watching the scene, aghast.

"Damn, Qingfeng Li is done for. Who'd have thought that Zhentian Mo would have become Spirit Emperor Realm in the first level of Hell? He's unbeatable."

"No wonder so many people want to enter Hell. There are countless treasures here that can help them break through. Why can't I have that kind of luck?"

"You? You want an Emperor Class Elixir? Can you defeat Zhentian Mo? Even if you do run into that kind of treasure, you'd only get killed."

The self-cultivators gathered around chattered among themselves, pointing here and there.

Some were envious of Zhentian Mo for acquiring an Emperor Class Elixir and achieving Spirit Emperor Realm. Others mumbled in frustration at the fact that they'd got nothing after coming to the first level of Hell.

"Boss, run!" The Daoist shouted toward Qingfeng Li. "Don't worry about us!"

Having thought that Zhentian Mo was only at Half-Step Spirit Emperor Realm, the Daoist had believed that Qingfeng Li could defeat him. He'd never have thought that Zhentian Mo had actually reached Spirit Emperor Realm. Currently, Spirit Emperor Realm was the highest level achieved by any self-cultivator in the world. This meant that Zhentian Mo was practically invincible, no one was a match for him.

The Daoist wasn't alone. Other members of the Wolf Fang Sect, including the Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin, also cried out to Qingfeng Li to run. They knew that there was no way Qingfeng Li would win against Zhentian Mo. If he stayed, he faced certain death.

Hearing the concerned voices, Qingfeng Li waved a hand. "Don't worry about me," he said, "I'm not leaving, and I'm definitely going to save you guys."

"Qingfeng Li, I'm in the Spirit Emperor Ream now, you know?" Zhentian Mo glared at Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with murderous rage. "You really think you can save these people? You must be dreaming! I'm going to drink you blood and eat your flesh. You will wish you were dead!"

In the face of such a powerful foe as Zhentian Mo, Qingfeng Li remained calm and collected.

"Want to kill me? Then come," Qingfeng Li smiled. "Show me just how strong a Spirit Emperor Realm master is."

Qingfeng Li has the Mortal Purgatory Body. He could take on foes who were of higher tiers than himself. Right now, at the Ninth Class of the Spirit Emperor Realm, he was able to kill Half-Step Spirit Emperor Realm masters with ease. But he had yet to face someone of the Spirit Emperor Realm.

Qingfeng Li really wanted to know just how strong the Spirit Emperor Realm really was.

"Devil Emperor Palm!" Zhentian Mo shouted. Swinging his right palm, a massive bloody hand materialized.

The bloody hand spanned five hundred meters, blocking out a large chunk of the sky. The entire valley was enveloped in an aura of malice as the hand hid the sun from view. With a vicious force, the hand struck toward Qingfeng Li.
