I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 260: Sixth-Level Acting Law Enforcer

Li Qingyun stood quietly among the broken walls, watching the green light go away until it completely disappeared into the sky.

His figure was like a sculpture, lonely and quiet, hidden in this broken world.

However, there was no trace of relief in his deep gaze, only deeper helplessness and pain.

The sky was still covered by thick dark clouds, and red light was surging in the clouds, like some prying eyes, with unfathomable malice, slowly looking at the earth from the sky.

But the land of China has long been as dead as a grave.

There were no birds singing, no sound of wind, only the smell of corruption and blood in the air, devouring all life.

The dry ground is covered with cracks, as if the last veins in this world are gradually drying up.

Li Qingyun's eyes drooped slightly, staring at the devastated land beneath his feet.

He murmured in a low voice, his tone revealing deep helplessness:
"The world is in such chaos that even the strongest men can only do their best to protect a small corner."

He slowly raised his head, his eyes penetrating the thick red light and rolling clouds, as if through an invisible barrier, and saw the most powerful people in the human world.

Wang Xuanfu, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi... These predecessors on the Tiangang List, who are revered by the world as land immortals, are now scattered in various corners of the human world, using their own strength to the best of their ability to protect the last pure land.

Those names and images emerged in his mind. Although their power was strong, they were unable to reverse this almost hopeless situation.

Every strong man is like a lone pillar supporting the sky, alone and supporting the crumbling sky.

They can protect a city or a place, but they cannot reverse the entire situation.

"How long can we last?"

Li Qingyun closed his eyes slightly, frowned, and muttered to himself.

The evil spirits from the spiritual world are pouring in unstoppably, like a flood bursting a dam.

Their strength and numbers are growing every day. Those indescribable followers of mankind are born from the darkness, bringing with them crazy whispers and strange divine powers, setting off bloody storms one after another.

Each follower that appears is more powerful than the previous one.

The spirit slaves of the sixth realm are wreaking havoc in villages and towns, the demigods of the seventh realm are looming, and the rumored "sub-gods" of the eighth realm have begun to tear apart the barriers of the human world that were already broken long ago.

Li Qingyun could already foresee the terrible scene when the end of the world came.

He seemed to see the shocking scene when those horrific god-like beings came to the world and tore the vast mountains and rivers apart.

In the rolling dark clouds, huge tentacles and wings covered the sky and the sun. The black storm swept through. Wherever it passed, the grass and trees withered and the mountains and rivers turned to ashes.

What's worse, he seemed to see the arrival of the eighth level "demigod".

The gigantic figure of the god crushed the earth, the sky collapsed due to His existence, the entire human world was engulfed in blood and darkness, and all living beings were turned into meaningless flesh and blood.

"Only gods can fight against gods."

Li Qingyun murmured in a low and cold voice.

He knew very well that even those revered as "earth immortals" by the world were still mortals in essence.

However, the power of mortals is like that of ants in front of true gods, so fragile that it can withstand no attack.

"It's been a month..."

Li Qingyun raised his head, his eyes penetrating the rolling red clouds, wanting to look into the deeper sky.

A whole month has passed since the strange celestial phenomena, but the legendary gods of kindness and compassion have never descended upon the human world.

He had waited with hope, and even thought at one point that the gods representing the "Yuxu Palace" would descend to the human world and bring life to this land on the verge of despair.

However, all hopes turned into disappointment.

Even the projection of Nezha from Yuxu Palace was turned into ashes because it stayed there for too long.

Since then, there has been no news from Yuxu Palace.

The upper world forces such as the "Kunlun Divine Court" and "Western Paradise" that once dominated the heavens seemed to be completely isolated from the human world, with no news of them at all.

Those gods who were said to be responsible for saving the common people remained chillingly silent about this catastrophe, as if they had never existed.

However, the evil gods in the spiritual world have never stopped expanding and have infiltrated the human world in various ways.

Not only is their power growing, their will is also becoming clearer, and they are constantly planning some more terrifying actions.

"This is not a simple invasion, this is a complete plunder and extermination."

Li Qingyun sighed in his heart, "The purpose of the spirit world is to completely transform the human world into nutrients and become their breeding ground."

……

The blood moon hung in the sky, its red light like a tide, shining coldly on the devastated earth.

The dark clouds rolled in, as if hiding some ominous intent.

The whole world seemed to be enveloped in the shadow of doomsday. Despair and silence were intertwined, and even the sound of the wind had ceased.

Li Qingyun stood in a ruin, surrounded by a silent wasteland. Broken bricks and tiles and dead bones told the story of how this place was once prosperous but now dilapidated.

His figure was lonely and murderous, with a purple-gold sword stuck in the ground, the blade still carrying the cold glow left over from killing the evil god's followers.

His face was pale, obviously caused by fighting for several days in a row, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and that smile revealed a sense of ruthlessness and coldness.

He looked down at the blood and energy numbers that appeared in front of him and said to himself calmly, "That's enough."

After a month of fighting alone, he killed countless followers of the spirit world and the spirit slaves of the evil god, from low-level spirit slaves to strong men in the sixth realm, almost without stopping.

Every battle is a struggle on the brink of life and death, and every fight is accompanied by blood and fire.

However, it was also these baptisms of blood and fire that allowed him to gain a large amount of energy and blood - all of this was for the sacrifice at this moment.

Li Qingyun closed his eyes and held his breath.

His spiritual consciousness entered the unfathomable mysterious palace in his body. There was endless gray fog in front of him. He could vaguely see the palace towering into the clouds, ancient and solemn, as if it had existed from time immemorial to the present day.

The gate of the palace slowly opened, and countless flowing runes appeared in the surging gray fog. Each rune exuded a cold and deep light, as if it was the embodiment of some ancient rules.

"Sacrifice your blood and energy to improve your rank."

Li Qingyun silently expressed his wish in his heart.

Before he finished speaking, the millions of soul energy and blood he had accumulated turned into countless blood-red points of light like a raging torrent, rushing towards the palace deep in the gray fog.

As if summoned by something, the blood light rushed into the void of the palace, and every drop of blood turned into an ancient rune, engraved in the gray mist. After a moment, the runes began to flicker slightly, emitting a faint light, as if the rhythm between heaven and earth was readjusting.

Then, a vast and majestic voice sounded in Li Qingyun's ears, as if it descended from the sky, with irresistible power.

[The agent sacrificed millions of souls, qi and blood to improve his rank! ]

[Current rank: Sixth-rank 'Law Enforcer'. ]

[Sacrifice the blood and energy of tens of millions of souls to be promoted to the seventh level 'Guardian'. ]

[Remaining Qi and Blood: 36,400 Souls]

As the voice echoed, Li Qingyun's whole body suddenly shook, and the blade light on the purple-gold sword flashed like a meteor. An indescribable force surged out of his body and instantly penetrated his limbs and bones.

He felt that his body was being completely reshaped; his bones, flesh, blood, and meridians were all being cleansed by a vast force of rules, becoming purer.

Immediately afterwards, a series of information flooded into his mind, and those newly acquired magical powers and abilities were completely mastered by him as if they were innate instincts.

[The law enforcer gains supernatural power - 'Law of Nirvana']

[The agent sacrifices the power of the law and can use the power of annihilation to deprive the godhood. ]

A gleam of light flashed across Li Qingyun's eyes. The description of this magical power was simple but terrifying. Depriving the authority of the godhead was almost an ultimate deterrent against the gods.

What follows is a series of enhanced capabilities.

[The Law Enforcer's "Soul Devouring" magical power has been strengthened, and can obtain more energy and blood from the dead spirits. ]

[The "Burning Blood" magical power of the Law Enforcer has been strengthened, and the ability gained after burning the power of blood has been increased. 】

[The Law Enforcer's "Performing the Law" ability has been strengthened, and the upper limit of the deduced skills has been raised to the seventh level. ]

[The Law Enforcer's "Heavenly Secret Change" magical power has been strengthened, and the power of destiny gained every day has increased significantly. 】

[The Law Enforcer's "Bashe Swallowing Elephant" magical power has been strengthened, and can even take away the life of a cultivator in the sixth realm. ]

[The Law Enforcer's "Order of Judgment" magical power has been strengthened, and the required power of the law has been halved. 】

【…】

Every tip is a transformation.

Li Qingyun slowly opened his eyes. At that moment, countless galaxies seemed to flash across the depths of his pupils, vast and unfathomable.

His gaze passed over the ruins and wilderness and reached the depths of the sky. The majesty and calmness no longer belonged to mortals, but rather a kind of coldness and indifference that transcended life and death.

He looked down at his hands, feeling the mighty power in his body, like the mountains and seas.

Every vein was reshaped, and every strand of blood was as hot as pure gold.

He stood up slowly, with the purple-gold sword quietly inserted into the ground beneath his feet. The blade emitted circles of faint light, shrouding him in a solemn halo.

Li Qingyun was silent for a moment, then sat cross-legged.

He knew that this sublimation was far from over.

He could feel that after entering the level of "Law Enforcer", the mysterious palace was like a giant monster that had begun to awaken. It was a realm that even the Heavenly Dao could not fully understand, and it was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Li Qingyun sat cross-legged quietly, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became extremely solemn. Even the desolate land in the distance seemed to have fallen into silence under the influence of his aura.

As he closed his eyes and meditated, an ancient aura of majesty slowly rose from his body, as if to shake the sky!

Inside the mysterious palace, the gray fog surged and swirled like a whirlpool. The runes in that space suddenly burst into dazzling light. Countless ancient and mysterious symbols intertwined in the gray fog to form a huge sky curtain.

Li Qingyun's Hongmeng true energy turned into a surging river, pouring into the depths of the palace without reservation, transforming into a higher-dimensional power and engraved on the walls of the palace and the void.

He could feel that every rune formed by every drop of blood and energy was writing new rules for his life.

The feeling is indescribable, like being reborn from a shackles, every cell in the body is being broken down and reshaped.

His meridians and qi sea were gradually connected by a tremendous force, which surged into his soul like a tide, elevating his life level to a height unattainable for mortals.

"Boom——"

At this moment, in the rolling gray fog, the godhead that was suppressed by the mysterious palace rose up, like a crystal star, but emitting a cold light and carrying irresistible pressure.

The divine nature slowly sank into Li Qingyun's brows, and his consciousness completely merged with the divine nature.

Suddenly, countless rules of heaven flooded into his mind, as if revealing all the mysteries of the world before him.

This divine power obtained from the "Fallen Immortal Dreamland" has only now been truly refined and integrated.

Li Qingyun's soul was instantly filled with this power, and the laws and knowledge that were once obscure and difficult to understand now turned into an innate instinct in his blood.

He understood the operation of every law and the flow of every vital energy of heaven and earth.

What’s even more amazing is that he is not only sensing the rules of heaven and earth, but he seems to have become a part of the rules.

As the divine nature was completely integrated into his life essence, Li Qingyun's aura suddenly underwent a drastic change.

Suddenly, a low and solemn humming sound came from Li Qingyun's body, like the hum of heaven echoing between heaven and earth.

The voice was invisible and formless, but it carried with it endless majesty and sacredness, making the heaven and earth pale in comparison and all things hold their breath.

Immediately afterwards, a strong wind erupted from around Li Qingyun, blowing up a cloud of dust. The dead grass and rubble in the wilderness were thrown high into the sky by this force and turned into dust and dispersed.

As the storm swept across, Li Qingyun's aura suddenly changed, as if a fire had ignited out of the blue, burning all the shackles of mortals and pushing the essence of his life to a whole new height.

"Boom——!"

A thunderous roar came from the depths of the void. Along with the roar, the thick dark clouds covering the sky and the earth seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand. The moonlight penetrated the broken clouds and shone on Li Qingyun's figure.

Around him, the vital energy of heaven and earth surged wildly, the fluctuations were so violent that they were almost earth-shattering. Even the air was trembling slightly under this pressure.

Li Qingyun slowly opened his eyes, and at that moment, his pupils turned into the deep starry sky, vast and unfathomable.

His gaze penetrated the sky, passed through the void, and saw the essence of heaven and earth. That kind of omniscient and omnipotent perception made him feel as if he was standing on top of the entire world.

He raised his right hand and clenched it gently. In an instant, a purple lightning appeared faintly in the void.

The lightning twisted and turned in his palm like a spirit snake, containing the power to destroy the world, but it was quiet and docile under his control.

He was only one step away from entering a new realm and becoming a demigod of the seventh realm...
