The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 147 Massacre!

Outside the ancient city, Buddha descended to earth, slamming his palm down and turning the surrounding mountains to dust.

Duanmu Ce looked horrified. He could feel the immense power contained in the other's palm and fingers. He had no doubt that if he received this palm strike, he would be blown to pieces again.

"Extreme Yin Hand!"

Duanmu Ce roared, his hands turned pitch black, and terrifying Taiyin power erupted, pushing out like an ocean!
In the void, bursts of dark thunder were born, rising in chaos and encountering the Buddha's light.

boom!
A terrifying explosion occurred, the void collapsed and annihilated, causing onlookers to retreat again and again, their faces filled with horror.

"Is he really only at the second level of the Sendai realm?" Everyone was stunned, trembling at Ning Qingyi's unparalleled divine power.

Duanmu Ce, the opponent, was even more alarmed. The two exchanged blows, and Duanmu Ce's injuries worsened while his opponent remained unharmed, appearing as a streak of light as he once again attacked him.

boom!
It was another earth-shattering blow. Strange phenomena flashed during the collision, and the Great Dao resonated in unison. A desolate star field appeared during the duel, boundless darkness, endless cold, as if life had come to an end.

"kill!"

Ning Qingyi shouted and swung his Nanwu Fist. His boundless energy surged against the sky, and his entire body radiated divine light, dazzling and magnificent, like a god of war!
boom!
This was the seventh move since the start of the duel, clean and decisive, once again completely overwhelming Duanmu Ce!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Duanmu Ce reassembled his true form, his eyes somewhat lifeless.

After these few moves, he felt that all his beliefs since his debut had been shattered. He had cultivated ancient scriptures, possessed the Lesser Yin Body, and had been an undefeated Dao-Slaying King who had roamed the world for two hundred years... All of this seemed like a sandcastle in front of Ning Qingyi, which was scattered by the wind.

Ning Qingyi sneered: "What, you don't think you're a seed for the Emperor's Path, do you? A piece of trash like you can't even master the Taiyin True Scripture. So what if you've severed your Dao? You're just a stepping stone for me!"

"Extreme Yin Hand!"

This time, it was Ning Qingyi who used this sacred technique.

In an instant, the power of Taiyin flowed throughout his body, as if he had been immersed in the Taiyin Dao for decades, so that the holy technique evolved from the Battle Saint Technique was in no way inferior to Duanmu Ce.

"Crack!"

In the void, thunder rumbled, and the Taiyin Hand was unleashed, not only causing countless divine thunderbolts to explode between its fingers, but also freezing all the myriad paths with its immense Taiyin power!

Duanmu Ce looked like he had seen a ghost. He also used the Extreme Yin Hand to fight back, but when the two faced each other, the opponent's Taiyin power was actually more advanced than his own, and it froze his body instead!

"puff!"

Ning Qing swept his palm across, cleaving Duanmu Ce in two. Under the erosion of the Taiyin energy, Duanmu Ce's body became tattered and broken.

"I do not believe!"

Duanmu Ce roared and tried his best to reassemble his body, using another forbidden killing move recorded in the Taiyin Ancient Scripture. However, it was still useless, and he was defeated again!
In the end, Duanmu Ce was killed. He couldn't even last fifteen minutes against Ning Qingyi before being beaten to a pulp and reunited with his father.

This scene sent chills down everyone's spines, making them realize that the opponent was definitely a peerless killer, a true contender for the Emperor's Path.

Only a young talent like this could defy the King of Slaying Dao!
Ning Qingyi glanced at Duanmu Ce, who had finished his business in a hushed manner, snorted coldly, and with a thought, the dragon veins below resonated, unleashing unparalleled sword energy that cleaved through many figures in the arena.

"How dare you show murderous intent towards me!" Ning Qingyi said coldly.

Clearly, many of the onlookers sided with the Taiyin Divine Sect, while others were simply wary of Ning Qingyi's overwhelming power.

This made the passersby's hearts skip a beat, knowing that this was definitely a peerless killer!
Ning Qing took a step forward and instantly disappeared into the city. With a sweep of his divine sense, he found the Taiyin Divine Sect's headquarters in the city.

The outcome was quite obvious: the traces of the Taiyin Divine Cult in this ancient city were completely erased!
This left everyone with mixed feelings.

“Brother Daoist…” Suddenly, a voice came from a divine chariot.

A woman emerged who could outshine the sun and moon and dim the mountains and rivers. She was tall and slender, with jet-black hair as lustrous as silk, and a radiant red mole between her brows that added to her boundless charm; she was flawless.

"Fairy Yi!" Among the crowd, many young men showed expressions of admiration.

Ning Qingyi glanced over and a guess formed in her mind.

"My name is Yi Qingwu. I would like to ask you to stay a moment, fellow Daoist." She smiled, her beauty like that of a goddess reincarnated, with a long, graceful neck, fair skin, bright eyes, and stunningly beautiful appearance.

"What? Are you trying to speak up for these scoundrels?" Ning Qingyi asked calmly.

"Brother Dao is joking. Qingwu had no such intention." Yi Qingwu smiled gently, her beauty radiant and stunning, making everything else in the world seem to lose its luster.

"So, Xin Mu Zhengdao wants to join forces with me to punish these scoundrels?" Ning Qing asked repeatedly.

Yi Qingwu was not embarrassed. Her charming smile remained unchanged. She smoothed her long hair with her crystal-like fingers and said sweetly, "Qingwu is but a nobody, and the Guanghan Palace is weak and powerless..."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the voices of many young people came from the crowd, shouting that they were willing to sacrifice their lives for her.

"You're neither here to oppose me nor to fight alongside me. What, could it be that you wish to spar with me?" Ning Qingyi's calm eyes reflected Yi Qingwu's unparalleled figure. Yi Qingwu shook her head slightly and said, "Brother Dao's divine might is beyond my comprehension. I'm only bothering you this time to invite you to a gathering. There are many figures in Ziwei who wish to meet with you."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qingyi smiled, a rare occurrence for her. Her elegant demeanor captivated many female cultivators. However, in the blink of an eye, a chill suddenly descended upon the world.

"Boring." He uttered these two words coldly, and a chilling atmosphere emanated from him, causing everyone to shiver: "On the ancient Ziwei Star, only the Taiyin and Taiyang lineages are worthy of my respect. What are you? How dare you delay my important matters!"

"If you dare to bother me again, I will consider you all accomplices of those thieves and deal with you all as well!"

After Ning Qing finished speaking in a cold voice, she transformed into a rainbow and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Yi Qingwu was stunned, not expecting Ning Qingyi to give such a reply, showing no regard for everyone.

……

Soon, news of Ning Qingyi's killing of the Lesser Yin King Duanmu Ce and the subsequent pacification of the Taiyin Divine Sect's territory spread like wildfire throughout Luzhou. Of course, the news of the neglect of the most beautiful woman, Yi Qingwu, was quietly drowned out.

However, the Taiyin Divine Sect did not react this time, which was completely different from their previous actions. But soon, everyone knew why.

Ten days later, Ning Qingyi reappeared in an ancient city and fought a great battle against three kings from the Taiyin Divine Sect, one of whom had even reached the Great Perfection stage!
The four fought a bloody battle for thousands of miles, shattering vast mountain ranges. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, they were all killed by Ning Qingyi, and the Taiyin Divine Sect's forces in the ancient city were also wiped out in a bloodbath.

Five days later, Ningqing Yiping lost its fourth ancient city.

In this battle, ten Dao-Slaying Kings mobilized simultaneously, setting up a Taiyin Killing Array. One of the Taiyin Sect Kings even wielded a sacred weapon. However, Ning Qingyi ultimately dismantled the killing array, killing all ten Kings and completely suppressing the sacred weapon.

Moreover, five of the ten kings were not experts from the Taiyin Sect, but rather the backbone of other forces in Luzhou. They were invited out by the Taiyin Sect at a great cost, and ultimately perished at the hands of Ning Qingyi.

Ning Qingyi responded ruthlessly, spending five days launching a surprise attack on the mountain gates of these five major powers, unleashing the quasi-Emperor weapon, the Primordial Azure Gold Pagoda, and completely annihilating the five Daoist lineages.

Such ruthless methods silenced the entire Luzhou. Some remarked that this man possessed the same magnanimity as the former Lingbao Tianzun when he leveled the corpse disaster.

Just as everyone was wondering when Ning Qingyi would reappear, he arrived at Mingling.

Mingling is located in the northern part of Luzhou.

This is an eerie mountain range, shrouded in mist, with various towering peaks standing side by side, making this place special and giving it a restrained yet terrifying aura.

Here stands an ancient Taoist temple called Changsheng, its lineage so ancient that its origins are lost to time. Throughout history, only a handful of people have lived there, yet it is incredibly powerful, and no one dares to provoke it.

Ning Qingyi gazed into the distance and saw an ancient Taoist temple appearing and disappearing in the mist. It was magnificent and solemn, like an immortal temple of the gods. Every tile and stone seemed to be engraved with ancient marks, and an ancient aura rushed towards him, just like a Taoist gate in the underworld.

"A weapon of Saint King level, thankfully not a Great Saint Artifact."

Ning Qingyi possessed the secret technique of the character "兵" (bing, meaning soldier), making it very easy for him to determine that this Taoist temple contained a sacred weapon. At the same time, he also sensed a quasi-emperor aura circulating nearby.

"And there are Quasi-Emperor array patterns... Sure enough, although Ziwei doesn't have a truly supreme power now, it has quite a few Quasi-Emperor inheritances."

Ning Qing silently calculated in his heart, and then appeared in front of the Changsheng Temple in a grand manner.

boom!
The quasi-emperor's aura circulated, and the Primordial Azure Gold Pagoda floated above his head, radiating immense divine power and dispelling the surrounding mist.

"Squeak!"

The magnificent Taoist temple's vermilion gate opened a crack, and a Taoist priest stepped out.

He was not old, but he had the air of a hermit. He had a bamboo hairpin in his black hair, wore a Taoist robe with Bagua symbols, and he wore hemp shoes. His eyes were clear and bright as he walked out step by step.

He was a very young Taoist priest, but he had the air of a highly accomplished Taoist master. He looked otherworldly and extraordinary.

"My name is Zhengde, greetings to fellow Daoist." The Daoist bowed.

Ning Qing said directly, "I'm looking for the Taoist Sanque."

The Taoist priest Zhengde asked, "May I ask what business you have with my son, my friend?"

"You didn't know? He became sworn brothers with the deceased Duanmu Ming, and the living Yin Tiande and Lu Ya," Ning Qingyi said coldly.

“Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking it. Sanque only has a sworn brotherhood with Yin Tiande.” A solemn look flashed in Zhengde Daoist’s eyes.

Ning Qingyi scoffed: "You don't get to decide that, I do."

Daoist Zhengde sighed softly: "In that case, what is your intention, fellow Daoist?"

“It’s simple. Either he dies, or the Changsheng Temple and I join forces to eradicate the Taiyin Divine Sect.” Ning Qingyi gave his answer.
