Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 383 One Finger Annihilates the 8th Level of the Heavenly Gang Realm!

At this moment.

Li Qingyuan was surrounded by extraordinary phenomena, and the Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lamp emitted a dazzling light, while his cultivation level rose rapidly like a hot knife through butter...

Such an astonishing act!

In an instant, it swept through the entire Dream Return City like a whirlwind, drawing the attention of all the cultivators in the city, and causing a constant murmur of discussion:

"Look at that young man, who exactly is he? How could he cause such a strange movement in the Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lamp!"

"Breaking through several realms in one go from the Earthly Fiend Realm—such a speed of breakthrough is simply unheard of and unseen!"

"Could he be the successor of some reclusive master? Otherwise, how could he have such a fortuitous opportunity?"

"The Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lamp has recognized its master; this child's future achievements are likely limitless!"

"........"

------

And this moment.

Su Yaoyue stood gracefully on an exquisite covered bridge, her beautiful eyes gazing intently at Li Qingyuan's tall and straight back.

Seeing these changes, she understood that the King of Lamps had chosen his master!

And Li Qingyuan was the one chosen by fate!

In an instant, a stunning smile appeared on her lips, a smile as gentle and bright as the warm spring sun.

This drew involuntary glances from the surrounding cultivators, who secretly admired it.

There is such an exquisite fairy in the world, so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

Seeing this, Granny Lan behind her couldn't help but sigh again, secretly pondering to herself:

"Miss, oh Miss, you've finally fallen for him... This young man may be no ordinary person, but his future is uncertain. Why are you so infatuated with him?"

--------

In the sky, Li Qingyuan's breakthrough was nearing its end.

Having broken through several realms in succession, his foundation inevitably appeared somewhat unstable.

Fortunately, he had reached the pinnacle in the previous realms, laying a foundation as solid as a rock.

Therefore, although there are some fluctuations at the moment, they are still within a controllable range. As long as we consolidate the situation properly in the future, there will be no worries.

Just then, a sudden and discordant voice pierced the sky like a sharp blade:

"Boy, hand over the Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lamp! Such a treasure is not something you can possess!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyuan frowned slightly, then slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp as she looked in the direction of the sound.

A figure stood in mid-air, staring greedily at the Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lantern in his hand.

........

Li Qingyuan's gaze was sharp as lightning; with a single, quick sweep, he discerned the true nature of the provocative cultivator.

However, with his cultivation at the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm, he dared to harbor greed and attempt to seize the treasure just because he was still in the Earthly Fiend Realm.

Isn't this just courting death?

His cultivation has now skyrocketed, and he's looking for an opponent to test his strength and, incidentally, consolidate his rapidly advancing cultivation...

This overconfident fellow is truly a litmus test delivered right to our doorstep. Why not take advantage of it?

Thinking of this, Li Qingyuan smiled faintly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he steadily held the Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lamp in his palm with one hand, and then shouted loudly:

"Want this lamp? Then let's see if you have the ability. Come here!"

After he finished speaking, a murderous aura surged around him, and his fighting spirit burned fiercely.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator's face revealed a sinister sneer.

He moved like lightning, instantly transforming into a streak of light and rushing forward.

At the same time, his body was surrounded by surging, tangible energy.

The massive fist gleamed with dazzling light, carrying an aura of world-destroying power as it unleashed a devastating punch.

He actually planned to punch Li Qingyuan into a pulp, steal the treasure and kill him, killing two birds with one stone!

........

at this time.

Witnessing this scene, Li Qingyuan's lips curled into an even more amused smile. His expression remained calm and composed as he casually uttered:

"That's it?"

Upon seeing this, the cultivator felt enveloped by an invisible mockery, and his anger erupted like a volcano, burning fiercely.

He moved suddenly, his speed several times faster than before, and the power within his body surged like a river, converging on his fists.

The fist wind howled like a beast's roar, and the fist light was dazzling and radiant, so bright that it hurt people's eyes and they could hardly look directly at it. Its power was so great that it inspired awe!

Suddenly, a powerful aura, transcending even the Earthly Fiend Realm, erupted from Li Qingyuan's body.

This aura swept out like a storm, making even the surrounding malevolent energy seem dim and insignificant.

He stood tall and straight, yet seemed to have grown even taller in an instant, his robes fluttering, like an immortal descending to earth!

He slowly raised his hand, his fingertips lightly tapping, the movement elegant and composed.

Although it was just a light touch, it seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth;

The cultivator at the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm opposite him felt as if an invisible immortal mountain was pressing down on him, so heavy that it was hard to breathe, and a suffocating feeling surged over him like a tidal wave.

He had to forcibly stop his rapid advance, now only a few feet away from Li Qingyuan.

Under the oppressive force of this terrifying power, he was forced to retreat repeatedly, one step, two steps...

With each step he took back, it seemed as if he had exhausted all his strength, and he was getting further and further away from Li Qingyuan.

At the same time, he was horrified to find that he was unable to adjust his state!

It was as if the whole person was bound by invisible shackles, immersed in an indescribable oppression, unable to extricate themselves.

A strong premonition surged within him, as if he would be struck by that invisible force at any moment, his soul scattered and his body destroyed.

Once this thought took root, it spread like wildfire, quickly reaching his mind and causing him to feel palpitations, panic, dry mouth, and extreme discomfort.

........

However, Li Qingyuan had no intention of showing mercy.

His strike was the second move of the "Gentle Breeze Sword Technique," with the dual sword intent of killing and wind flowing from his fingertips.

The two elements intertwined and merged, making this strike both swift and ruthless, and incomparably fierce!

At this moment, he was still using the Thousand Faces Disguise Technique, and his figure and appearance had all changed.

Therefore, those methods that have been frequently used on the Canglan Continent should not be easily revealed at this moment.

He rarely used the "Gentle Breeze Sword Technique," so very few people could recognize it.

Even in this extremely tense situation, Li Qingyuan remained highly vigilant.

After all, there were too many people participating in the Mandarin Duck Lantern Festival in the Dream City below;

He seized the title of King of Lamps with the strength of a Di Sha Realm cultivator, so it's inevitable that some cultivators would be tempted by his wealth and want to kill him to steal his treasure.

He had already prepared for this.

Therefore, he had to kill this cultivator at the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm with overwhelming force, showing no mercy, in order to deter other unscrupulous individuals!

........

this moment!

The cultivator at the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm felt an incomparably sharp and powerful sword intent rushing straight to his face like a cold tide!

That sharp aura seemed poised to pierce his skull and annihilate him completely at any moment!

This feeling lasted only a moment, yet it felt as long as eternity.

Then, reality manifested itself in the cruelest way—

With a soft "hiss" sound!

The cultivator felt a chill on his forehead, followed by a surge of stinging pain.

Fresh blood gushed down from the wound between his eyebrows.

In an instant, the stain spread all over his face, turning his once handsome face into a hideous and terrifying sight, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Immediately afterwards, the cultivator's consciousness began to flicker like a candle in the wind, gradually dissipating into nothingness.

In just a moment, he completely lost his life.

His body plummeted straight down like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground below and raising a cloud of dust.

With a single strike, Li Qingyuan killed a cultivator at the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm!

........

At this moment, a group of cultivators below saw this and quickly walked towards the falling cultivator.

Among them, a middle-aged cultivator, his expression filled with grief and indignation, grabbed the corpse of the other cultivator and roared:

"Ming'er! Who is so cruel as to try to kill you!"

The other cultivators behind him also gathered around, some with sorrowful expressions, others gritting their teeth, and they all spoke up:

"Young master, you died a terrible death!"

"This murderer is too ruthless; we must avenge our young master!"

"........"

In an instant, cries of sorrow arose everywhere, and discussions abounded.

Li Qingyuan lowered her eyes and saw this scene, and immediately made a plan in her mind.

He realized that the cultivator from earlier seemed to have a powerful background...

That middle-aged cultivator actually possessed the peak of the ninth level of the King Realm, and his strength was not to be underestimated.
