Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 375 The Soul-Extinguishing Lamp

but!

Li Qingyuan was very close, and with his sharp eyes, he naturally saw that Xue Jing was actually exerting his power in the seemingly calm spiritual field.

The gray currents swept out like a tidal wave, and demonic energy soared into the sky, as if to devour the entire world.

Clearly, Xue Jing was not as calm as he appeared; he was struggling to hold on, using all his strength to resist the attack of the golden beam of light.

Although Li Qingyuan did not know where Xue Jing had obtained this mysterious and unpredictable gray aura.

However, it is undeniable that this current of energy undoubtedly brought about a qualitative leap in Xue Jing's strength, enhancing him to a terrifying and extremely powerful level.

They are even comparable to some old monsters who have been hiding in the world for many years and whose lifespan is about to end.

However, even so.

Facing the only supreme immortal emperor in this realm, the most powerful and awe-inspiring being;

Xue Jing still seemed somewhat inadequate and unable to match him!

......

But as Xue Jing said...

"This time, he would rather fight than surrender!"

Every move he made, every glance he gave, perfectly exemplified this statement.

He resolutely chose to rebel against the Immortal Emperor!

Even if there is an abyss or endless darkness ahead, he will not back down.

But given his current precarious situation, he is indeed no match for the Immortal Emperor; he is like an ant trying to shake a towering mountain!

Li Qingyuan's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts at this moment, and he couldn't help but think:

Xue Jing shouldn't be a fool. Logically speaking, if you can't win, you should leave in time to preserve your strength and make a comeback in the future.

After all, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Xue Jing now possesses this powerful and mysterious demonic power. If he dedicates himself to cultivation for a period of time, his strength should increase significantly.

Then, when he comes to fight the Immortal Emperor again, he might still have a chance to put up a fight, instead of being trapped in this almost hopeless predicament as he is now!

......

Just as Li Qingyuan's thoughts were racing like wild horses!

The spiritual field where Xue Jing was located ultimately could not withstand that terrifying power.

With a muffled bang, it was completely shattered, turning into countless tiny specks of energy that vanished into nothingness.

The two golden beams of light that shot forth like blazing suns seemed to have exhausted their last bit of power, and slowly disappeared like candles flickering in the wind.

However, the oppressive force pouring down from the sky remained ever-present.

Like an invisible mountain, it continued to press heavily on Xue Jing and Long Qinghe, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

At this critical moment!

Xue Jing's immortal sword stood upright in front of him like a pillar that stabilizes the sea.

On the sword, a dense gray aura flowed slowly like a babbling brook, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

In an instant, an extremely violent storm of sword energy swept outwards from the center of the immortal sword.

Wherever it passed, the space was torn apart with tiny cracks, emitting sharp whistling sounds.

......

at the same time.

Strange and magnificent sights also appeared in the sky.

There, Xue Jing's Dharma image seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space, slowly emerging.

It was a crystal-clear lotus lantern, its body crafted from an unknown, mysterious material, radiating a soft and holy light that seemed capable of purifying all evil in the world!

Each petal of the lotus lantern is as delicate as silk, with clearly visible textures.

The petals unfurled slightly, as if welcoming some sacred mission.

Xue Jing sat cross-legged in the center of the lotus lantern, at the heart of the lotus and the wick of the lamp.

His posture was upright and solemn, as if he had merged with the lotus lantern, becoming the most sacred existence in the world.

At this moment, the lotus lantern seemed to be given life, and a blazing fire suddenly ignited in the center.

The flames, like a beating heart, radiated boundless vitality and energy, illuminating the entire sky.

And at the same time.

Xue Jing's physical body seemed to be gradually shrinking, as if an invisible force was draining all the energy from his body;

Like peeling silk from a cocoon, it was slowly poured into the lotus lantern.

His face grew increasingly calm, but his eyes revealed a resolute and determined look, clearly prepared to face any consequences.

------

Upon seeing this, Long Qinghe felt a strong sense of unease and fear welling up inside him.

"don't want......"

She cried out in a panic, her voice trembling, as if she felt that Xue Jing's actions were too risky and could very well lead to utter ruin.

At the same time, her aura circulated rapidly, and a powerful and mysterious force surged within her body.

Before long, a dazzling dragon soul floated out from her body.

The dragon soul, like a golden lightning bolt, ripped through the sky and headed straight for the lotus lantern in the heavens.

Wherever the dragon soul passed, it left behind dazzling trails, like the most dazzling shooting stars in the night sky.

Li Qingyuan stared blankly at the scene, as if frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.

He immediately realized that the lotus lamp was likely not Xue Jing's original form.

It is very likely that he later obtained this mysterious treasure by chance from somewhere.

Because he had lost all his cultivation, in order to be able to embark on the path of cultivation again, he had no choice but to merge his body into this lamp.

He even sacrificed his own soul to survive, thus prolonging his life and clinging to existence until now.

Long Qinghe clearly knew all of this, which is why she acted so hastily yet resolutely just now.

She abandoned her physical body and entered the game as a dragon soul.

All this is to prevent Xue Jing from dying and his soul from dissipating, so that we can fight side by side with him in life and death, and live and die together!

Xue Jing and Long Qinghe were clearly at their wits' end; they were fighting desperately!

This could very well be their last gamble!

Li Qingyuan immediately looked towards where the Immortal Emperor was, her heart filled with doubt and anticipation.

How will the Celestial Emperor, this supreme being, react to Xue Jing and Long Qinghe's desperate gamble?

Will they continue to act ruthlessly and completely annihilate them, or will they have a sliver of pity and let them go this time?

......

Right now.

The Celestial Emperor's majestic and icy voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth, like a resounding bell, making one's eardrums ache:

"The Soul-Extinguishing Lamp?"

"No wonder you rebellious son dared to defy me; it turns out you have such a supreme immortal treasure by your side!"

"However, how much of its power can you actually unleash?"

The Celestial Emperor recognized the origin of the lotus lantern at a glance.

But there was no sign of panic on his face. He remained confident and aloof, his tone full of arrogance and disdain.

It was as if the Soul-Extinguishing Lamp in Xue Jing's hand was nothing more than a toy in a child's hand, and not worth fearing at all!

In response to the Immortal Emperor's contemptuous words, a lotus flower suddenly shot out from the Soul-Extinguishing Lamp in the sky.

This lotus flower is colorful, with petals like colorful clouds, rippling with rosy light, and its colors are brilliant and dazzling.

The moment it blooms, colorful rays of light spread outwards, illuminating the world as brightly as a rainbow.

The dazzling colorful light even faintly overshadowed the magnificent golden light surrounding the Immortal Emperor, making his figure somewhat blurry in the intense light.

......

"Very good, you are very good. I underestimated you. However, from now on, this Soul-Extinguishing Lamp belongs to me."

The Immortal Emperor's calm and collected words rang out once more, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

Immediately afterwards, a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the space where he was.

This vortex seemed to be a collection of energy, its Daoist aura so rich it was almost tangible, and the aura emanating from it was chilling.

Among them, the swordplay is sharp and ruthless, its domineering aura overwhelming, while the way of the emperor is majestic and awe-inspiring...

Various terrifying auras intertwined, forming a world-destroying power.

The vortex spun at the speed of light, forming a terrifying storm that swept towards the Soul-Extinguishing Lamp with overwhelming force in an instant.

Compared to this terrifying vortex, the Soul-Slaying Lamp seemed insignificant and fragile, like a small witch before a mighty one.

It seems so vulnerable, that it could be destroyed and utterly annihilated in an instant!

"Boom boom boom..."

The lotus lantern and the vortex collided in the blink of an eye, instantly unleashing a series of deafening explosions.

The sound was like a thousand thunderclaps, as if it would shatter the entire world!
