The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 167 The Golden Crow King's Death Battle Against Duanmu Taiyin

Duanmu Taiyin had white hair and looked like a lamp burning out. Yet, this withered Taoist priest became the center of heaven and earth. His majestic holy power was as deep as the ocean and almost broke the great formation.

“Senior Duanmu, please restrain yourself,” King Jinwu said immediately.

Setting up this formidable formation burns the bloodline power of the Golden Crow every moment. If it weren't for the need to restrain Ning Qingyi's "Group" secret technique and conceal Duanmu Taiyin's whereabouts, the Golden Crow clan would never have agreed to it.

Duanmu Taiyin let out a cold laugh, but still voluntarily restrained his imposing manner, coldly staring at Ning Qingyi.

"One severed the bloodline of the Human Emperor, and the other plotted to inherit the Holy Emperor's legacy. They are truly in cahoots." Ning Qing glanced at the two, her eyes showing no resentment, only indifference.

King Jinwu sneered, "It's all your fault for being too arrogant and domineering. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. You destroyed the Taiyin Sect and now you want to slaughter my Jinwu Clan... Do you really think no one can deal with you?!"

"You? You think a mere half-saint can take me down? Even if two more came, they would only be killed by me." Ning Qingyi said with a contemptuous tone.

King Jinwu's face turned ashen. Not only him, but all the Jinwu who had set up the formation felt their faces burning. Even though they knew that the person in front of them was a figure of the ancient emperor level, they were still somewhat discouraged.

"Besides, how could you not know that I didn't deliberately take the risk?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Qingyi raised his fist and attacked the Golden Crow King. His invincible golden body was pushed to its limit, revealing a sense of perfect harmony.

King Jinwu was furious. He had dominated Ziwei for thousands of years and had never been underestimated like this before. He raised his Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd and brought it down. The terrifying pressure of the ancient holy weapon surged out like a vast ocean crashing against the shore, shaking the heavens and the earth, and even tearing the sea apart.

"boom!"

The Divine Fist collided with the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd, and a terrifying scene unfolded. The sea shattered as if the end of the world had arrived, and boundless flames exploded without end!
"It's blocked!"

The Golden Crow King's pupils contracted in disbelief. He saw the Phoenix-Winged Golden Halberd cleave through the jade radiance and strike at the golden body, but it only left a long, bloody gash.

Duanmu Taiyin, who had been watching from the sidelines, also showed a look of shock in her eyes.

Sacred weapons are another continuation of the ancient sages. Once activated, they can cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split. Cultivators below the sage realm will find it difficult to resist them if they do not wield a sacred weapon.

However, now, a cultivator at the second level of the Sendai realm has managed to withstand a great holy weapon with his physical body.

Even if the Golden Crow King's cultivation level is insufficient to unleash the full power of the sacred weapon, the news alone is enough to shake the world.

"At the second level of the Sendai realm, one can withstand a sacred weapon with one's physical body. Even the ancient emperors were no more than this!" Among the golden crows that had formed the formation, the tenth prince's expression changed.

"Father certainly didn't use his full strength, and even if he did, he'll die here today!" Lu Ya's eyes were filled with hesitation, but his voice was fierce!
The Golden Crow King was even more horrified. Even though he knew about Ning Qingyi's achievements, seeing this scene still made his Dao heart waver.

Could this person truly be a figure of the caliber of ancient emperors?
A chill ran through him, followed by a frenzy, because from that moment on, Ning Qingyi had become his inner demon. If he could not kill her, all his 3,700 years of cultivation would have been in vain.

"I don't believe it! Even with a sacred weapon, I can't kill you!"

The Golden Crow King said no more. His golden eyes were stained with blood, and he swooped down with endless, frenzied killing intent, wishing he could kill Ning Qing with a single blow.

The Black-Winged Golden Halberd severed eternity, leaving behind a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Countless bodies, resembling gods and demons, descended, a terrifying sight that shocked the world.

"boom!"

Ning Qingyi was not afraid at all and raised his fist to attack.

Now, he is invincible and has reached the Heavenly Gate of Severing the Dao in the four major secret realms of Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, and Dragon Transformation on the single path of cultivation. Only the secret realm of Immortal Platform is still beyond his comprehension.

It can be said that it is only half a step away from being the strongest in history.

Let alone a Dao-Slaying King, even if a Saint came to kill him with a Saint Weapon, we would have to fight him first and then see the result!
The fist and the sacred weapon exploded, shaking the Ten-Sun Burning Heaven Formation. Cracks appeared one after another, standing side by side like a black mountain, terrifying beyond measure.

"The holy weapon has been interfered with!"

In another clash, the Golden Crow King's face darkened as he discovered Ning Qingyi's secret. Every time a sacred weapon came into contact with him, it would be affected by a "strange" influence, its divine power temporarily extinguished, and most of its power neutralized.

This surprised him, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his physical body wasn't truly comparable to a holy weapon, there was still hope!
"So what? No one can save you today. Even if God comes, I'll kill you!"

Ning Qingyi possessed an invincible spirit. His loud shout shook heaven and earth. The immortal monk's extraordinary phenomenon radiated boundless light, merging with him as he raised his fist and attacked!

At this moment, he was radiant and dazzling, like a heavenly emperor descending to earth, forging ahead and looking down upon all living beings!
"boom!"

This punch caused the heavens and earth to shatter, and the world was filled with light, obscuring everything else. Waves of destructive power erupted and dissipated, making the Golden Crows feel as insignificant as ants, destined to become nothing more than ashes.

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang..."

Within the light, two silhouettes were rapidly colliding, producing a series of clanging sounds.

The two figures fought fiercely in the light. Finally, after more than a dozen rounds, one figure flew out horizontally. It was the Golden Crow King, spitting blood from his mouth and covered with many horrific wounds.

"Ahhh! Ancestral Crow Dharma Body, Boundless Expansion of the Sea!" King Golden Crow roared, his golden hair flying wildly. At this moment, he was covered in blood, cracked inch by inch, his physical body as if it had suffered a tremendous heavenly tribulation.

"Wow!"

Behind him, a primordial crow emanated, its body merging with the great formation, emitting divine light, like a vast, boundless ocean surging forth.

The boundless solar essence fire within the Ten Suns Burning Heaven Formation was activated and merged into the Ancestral Crow's Dharma Body, which, like a demon god, flapped its wings and charged forward.

Boundless solar essence and the essence of the four directions descended like a curtain from the sky, intending to refine Ning Qingyi into nothingness.

"Distinguish between the pure and the impure!"

Ning Qingyi was fearless. Behind him, the chaotic divine phenomenon cleaved the Dao-Merging Divine Flower, and a dazzling light split the clear and turbid, accompanied by chaotic thunder. Instantly, even the void could not maintain its balance and cracked inch by inch.

The sea of ​​fire was completely cleaved open. Not only that, but a portion of the Ten Suns Burning Heaven Incurable Disease was also blasted apart. The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow screamed and perished along with many other Golden Crows.

"Little Ten!" Lu Ya cried out in anguish.

"Oh no, the formation is about to break!" The Golden Crow Platform Master was terrified. Ignoring the death of his younger brother, he forcibly manifested an avatar to stabilize the formation.

The surviving Golden Crows felt a chill run through them from head to toe upon seeing this scene. All of them turned pale. Even the invincible Golden Crow King could not withstand it, so how could they possibly fight back!
Lingbao Daozi is truly going to be invincible!

"kill!"

Ning Qingyi did not stop, and continued to charge forward, disregarding the fact that Duanmu Taiyin was still in the formation, determined to kill the Golden Crow King with his fists.

"boom!"

He used the secret technique of the Script, and divine patterns appeared under his feet, surging directly towards the Golden Crow King.

The opponent sensed something was wrong, but a moment later, Ning Qingyi appeared in front of him, and her invincible fist struck again.

"Golden Crow King, prepare to die!"

The Golden Crow King suddenly raised his head, his eyes becoming incredibly terrifying and filled with demonic power, like two black holes from which stars were falling!
At this moment, he completely merged with the divine halberd, unleashing an extremely terrifying aura, as if it could cause mountains to crumble and seas to dry up!

"Ignite my divine blood, revive the ancestor of war!"

This is a bloodline secret technique, used to completely awaken the weapon's spirit through bloodline and divine soul. Of course, the price is extremely high; just the awakening itself inflicts Dao injuries. Continued use, even if it kills the enemy, will lead to one's own demise, only an elixir of immortality can reverse the damage. "Boom!"

The weapon spirit within the Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd has been fully revived. As a great sacred weapon, once it is fully activated, its power is extremely terrifying.

"Wow!"

The divine halberd transformed into a golden crow, letting out a long cry. At that moment, time stood still, and heaven and earth froze!

Only a golden streak of light flashed by, shattering eternity, and rushed straight towards Ning Qingyi's brow, aiming to shatter his immortal platform and kill him instantly.

"The power of destiny..."

A great power flowed between heaven and earth, and divine sounds resounded, the song of destiny, transcending everything.

At the critical moment, Ning Qingyi activated the Lesser Destiny Technique, evolving the "Xing" character secret to an incredible level.

He too transformed into a streak of light, defying the laws of the universe, unparalleled in the world, and affecting the stability of space and time.

"boom!"

The divine halberd's attack missed, but the terrifying power was absorbed by the great formation. Almost instantly, three more of the Ten Suns Burning Heaven Formation fell, and the Second Prince also perished under this attack.

"Crack!"

The collapse of the formation triggered spatial rifts, instantly revealing everything. The people vying for Tanggu Fusang looked over and gasped in shock.

Ning Qingyi attacked again, surpassing the speed of light, disrupting space and time, and unleashing unparalleled speed.

He activated the "Soldier" secret technique and struck the Phoenix Wing Gold Halberd with a single punch. A figure was blasted out from it and then turned into bloody mud under Ning Qingyi's punches.

The mighty Golden Crow King, who roamed the world for 3,700 years, has met his demise today.

"Father!" the sixth prince, Lu Ya, roared. He hadn't expected his father to be defeated so decisively.

"You deserve to die!" The eldest prince's eyes were bloodshot, but he tried his best to summon the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd to retrieve this divine weapon.

Ning Qingyi naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, so he activated the "Soldier" secret technique to suppress the Holy Weapon God with all his might, intending to seal him completely.

But just as he was about to reach out, a chill ran through him, and he vanished in a flash of light, reappearing in the distance.

"boom!"

A beam of divine light from the moon rushed in, instantly freezing the void and encasing the phoenix-winged gilded halberd within it.

"Duanmu Taiyin, he actually colluded with the Golden Crow Clan!"

"The Golden Crow King isn't dead, is he?!"

The situation unfolded so quickly that those vying for destiny were caught off guard.

Ning Qingyi faced Duanmu Taiyin from a distance and sneered, "I thought you weren't going to make a move."

Duanmu Taiyin stared at him without saying a word. After a long while, she finally revealed a chilling smile.

“You are indeed very strong. If you can continue to grow, you will probably become another Ruthless Man, Wushi, or Qingdi.” Duanmu Taiyin said, “Unfortunately, someone like you will die by my hand today.”

"To control everything and stifle geniuses, how exhilarating! Hahaha!"

Duanmu Taiyin made his move. He showed no sign of underestimating his opponent. With a devastating strike, Taiyin divine light surged like a celestial river, shattering the heavens and aiming to kill Ning Qingyi.

However, he is too fast now. With the blessing of the Lesser Destiny Technique, the "Xing" Secret is about to step into the realm of time. Even a saint's killing move cannot catch up with him.

"I am the only one!"

Ning Qingyi ignited his own essence, energy, and spirit, unleashing the supreme freehand technique of the Nanwu Fist. In an instant, a celestial monk appeared, ready to suppress all dissent in the world!
Duanmu Taiyin casually thrust out a palm, yet the power of Taiyin gathered within it, as if the world was being created and destroyed between his fingers, shattering the illusory image of the immortal monk.

At the same time, its momentum did not diminish, and it emitted a terrifying force that threatened to suppress Ning Qingyi.

"brush!"

Ning Qingyi transformed into a streak of light once more, dodging the attack and standing still at a distance.

“You really have fallen from the Saint King realm,” Ning Qingyi said.

Two beams of divine light shot from Duanmu Taiyin's eyes, their gleam cold. He was already very old, and his Dao injuries had been constantly worsening while he was sealed in the Divine Source. Now that he had emerged into this world, he had fought a series of battles and almost perished.

Even if it managed to survive for a while, it was only enough to keep it alive; it couldn't stop the decline of its power level.

"At the Saint Realm, killing you is enough." Duanmu Taiyin charged over. If he weren't short of lifespan and afraid that Ning Qingyi might really leave, he wouldn't have come out at this time.

Ning Qingyi sneered, transformed into a stream of light, and rushed into Tang Valley.

"Trying to run?!"

Duanmu Taiyin gave chase.

The two chased and fled, and soon arrived at the vicinity of the Fusang Divine Tree. There were many people fighting over it, but when they saw the two, they were terrified and scattered like birds and beasts.

"Let me, beneath this Fusang tree, borrow a sliver of the imperial power of yesteryear to kill you!"

Ning Qing shouted and activated the "Lin" secret technique. In an instant, he merged with the myriad paths of heaven and earth, as if he had become the earth spirit of Tang Valley, and took control of heaven and earth.

"boom!"

Boundless solar holy power condensed in his hand, which Ning Qingyi transformed into divine lightning, crashing down with a deafening roar.

Duanmu Taiyin's expression was icy. With one hand, she pushed horizontally, and Taiyin's ultimate power penetrated heaven and earth. Even the power of the sun was at a disadvantage and was completely neutralized.

Ning Qing had anticipated this, and kept wandering around the Fusang Divine Tree. Endless divine patterns spread out around him, causing Duanmu Taiyin's expression to change repeatedly.

He knew that the other party was setting up an unparalleled formation to draw upon the divine power of the Fusang Divine Tree to attack and kill him.

"The Taiyin Seal, the cycle of heaven and earth!" Duanmu Taiyin roared, his hands forming a seal, suddenly unleashing a secret technique from the Taiyin Immortal Scripture.

This is an extremely gentle divine seal, yet it possesses terrifying power. It emanates from his fingertips, seemingly capable of dissolving the entire world. Black mist permeates the air, appearing light and airy, yet nothing can stop it.

In an instant, the array patterns that Ning Qingyi had set up were completely cleared away.

At the same time, the Fusang Divine Tree erupted, this special immortal herb radiating holy light, and almost every cultivator scattered around it died upon touching it. Even Duanmu Taiyin had to retreat.

Ning Qingyi also appeared on the other side of the sky, gazing at Duanmu Taiyin.
