With the dual boost of extreme speed, Li Qing fled in the opposite direction without daring to look back.
If he were caught in that storm, even his peak-stage fifth-tier body refinement cultivation would be instantly obliterated!
After a long and perilous escape, Li Qing finally managed to narrowly avoid the spatial storm's reach.
Throughout his journey, he continued flying, following the direction indicated by the Spirit Realm Beacon.
After what seemed like an eternity, Li Qing appeared to have traversed a desolate stretch of space. He began to sense faint wisps of spiritual energy in his surroundings.
"Am I close?"
A surge of joy coursed through Li Qing's heart as he leaped forward with renewed vigor!
In an instant, the boundless darkness that had enveloped him vanished, replaced by a sky ablaze with countless stars!
Each dazzling star pierced the void, its radiant light dispelling the oppressive gloom and filling the void with a sense of hope.
"What a breathtaking sight! Could the spiritual energy I sensed earlier be emanating from these stars?"
Just as Li Qing was pondering the nature of these celestial bodies, a voice answered his question!
"Your perception is correct. The spiritual energy in the void originates from those pearl-like stars."
"Curious about their true nature? Each shimmering star represents a minor world."
The sudden voice echoed through the void, freezing Li Qing's expression in place.
A gray-robed figure stood in the void, its hands clasped behind its back, its face featureless.
!!!
Li Qing's mind exploded with realization: he had encountered the Formless Saint Ancestor's dao body here!
Run!
Without a second thought, Li Qing unleashed his full speed, fleeing the area as fast as possible. He didn't even consider trying to communicate.
Glancing back, he was surprised to see the Formless Saint Ancestor wasn't pursuing him.
But moments later, another dao body of the Formless Saint Ancestor appeared ahead!
"The minor world you came from was lost from the Spirit Realm, causing its Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth to become extremely scarce, making ascension increasingly difficult," the second dao body explained, continuing to lecture Li Qing about the realms.
Li Qing had no interest in listening. He immediately changed direction, fleeing in another direction.
As expected, a third dao body of the Formless Saint Ancestor materialized!
"For you, I deployed one hundred and eight daoist art incarnations to guard the periphery of the Spirit Realm."
"Many of these were Void Refinement Realm incarnations, but the void holds too many unknowns. Ninety-six incarnations perished while awaiting your arrival."
"Fortunately, the curse mark has locked onto your position. The remaining twelve clones should be enough to deal with you, right?"
Hearing these words, Li Qing's heart sank like a stone. He never imagined the Formless Saint Ancestor would go to such lengths for him.
Instead of engaging, he shifted his position again.
When the fourth dao body of the Formless Saint Ancestor materialized, Li Qing drew his sword in a backhand motion, unleashing a razor-sharp golden sword qi that swept forward, slashing at the approaching dao body.
"Kill!"
The great war erupted as Li Qing clashed directly with the Formless Saint Ancestor's dao bodies in the void.
However, the latter had no intention of fighting fair. Dao bodies continued to join the fray one after another, revealing this to be a premeditated encirclement.
"Great Sun Annihilation Jade!"
Li Qing raised his hands, conjuring a massive, blindingly white sphere of light. The sphere radiated boundless luminescence, its form almost tangible.
Boom!
He struggled to annihilate two dao bodies, but three more immediately surged into the encirclement.
Already wounded, Li Qing felt a wave of despair wash over him.
He was now facing seven opponents alone, with more dao bodies poised to join the assault. How could he possibly win?
Even as a reincarnated celestial immortal, he couldn't possibly withstand so many dao bodies of the Formless Saint Ancestor single-handedly. This was an impossible battle!
Li Qing condensed his seven-colored life essence and infused it into the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings, simultaneously channeling all the Kunpeng divine power within his body.
His speed surged dramatically once more, this time fueled by the sacrifice of his vital essence.
Drawing upon the Kunpeng divine power, his figure briefly merged with the void, evading several attacks from the Formless Saint Ancestor.
"Oh? Kunpeng Art? You actually obtained such an inheritance in the lower realm? Your fortune is truly extraordinary," one of the Formless Saint Ancestor's dao bodies remarked casually, seemingly unconcerned by Li Qing's escape, as if everything were within his grasp.
Moments later, the void ahead violently trembled, and two more dao bodies materialized.
"All things return to nothingness!"
The two dao bodies jointly unleashed a divine ability, directly sealing Li Qing's path and forcing him out of the void.
Pfft!
Li Qing spat out a mouthful of crimson blood, but his unwavering will propelled him forward without hesitation.
"Heh, I'll let you glimpse the spirit realm before you die, so you can taste the despair of victory snatched away at the last moment," the Formless Saint Ancestor chuckled softly.
Ignoring the taunt, Li Qing charged relentlessly toward the Spirit Realm Beacon.
He was closeβso close. He could feel the overwhelming spiritual energy surging from the void.
A golden killing sword materialized in Li Qing's hand as he prepared to cross the final stretch.
But in the next instant, the final dao body of the Formless Saint Ancestor appeared, blocking his path.
This was a dao body from the void refinement realm!
"Chaotic Void Destiny... Now, everything you possess belongs to me!"
The void refinement realm dao body slashed down at Li Qing with its hand transformed into a blade.
Boom!
The void trembled violently as Li Qing's fleshly body shattered like a bubble, dissolving into nothingness.
The Formless Saint Ancestor had never intended to capture Li Qing alive. He had aimed for a fatal strike from the start. By killing Li Qing, he would claim everything Li Qing possessed.
Just as he believed victory was at hand, the void refinement realm dao body froze in surprise.
"Something's wrong... Why is the yin qi so dense?"
"Is this a death substitution technique?"
Sure enough, Li Qing's destroyed fleshly body wasn't flesh and blood at all, but a corpse radiating chilling yin qi!
"You little brat! How dare you deceive me!" The Formless Saint Ancestor's demonic qi surged violently, condensing into a massive demonic hand that slammed down with overwhelming force.
Boom!
The strike was lightning-fast, carrying the power to annihilate everything in its path. The surrounding space shattered layer by layer.
Just as the blow was about to crush Li Qing, a colossal immortal mansion materialized beside him, blocking the attack.
The mansion crashed down onto Li Qing, sending both man and mansion plummeting toward the Spirit Realm Beacon.
Wooong!
Li Qing's consciousness faded completely.
