Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 42 Tian'e Lake, Bei Qing

The Hundred-Eyed Pearl's offensive and defensive supernatural abilities are essentially no weaker than the Xuanmen's Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Great Supernatural Abilities.

Moreover, using these two supernatural abilities, one offensive and one defensive, does not require consuming Taiwei's own magical power. The 108 fourth-grade golden pills that make up the Hundred-Eyed Pearl are fully capable of refining the vast spiritual energy between heaven and earth, achieving self-sufficiency, and can even help Taiwei refine and purify the magical essence within his body.

With the Seven Star Dragon Abyss, the Hundred-Eyed Pearl, and the Celestial Dragon-Tiger Elixir, Taiwei now possesses these three spiritual treasures, making him quite wealthy among Golden Immortals.

However, although the Hundred-Eyed Pearl was successfully refined, the threads connecting the 108 Grade 4 Golden Pills were formed by Taiwei using his own Yin and Yang energies. Although the quality was not bad, it was far from being worthy of the Hundred-Eyed Pearl, which was a spiritual treasure.

Therefore, Taiwei immediately focused his gaze on the giant serpent, the King Serpent, which was lying in the bottom of a large lake not far from him. This King Serpent was at the Golden Immortal level and had two heads, each with the power of water, fire, sun, and moon, making it a perfect match for his Hundred Eyes.

If Taiwei can refine this King Serpent into a bracelet to link the 108 Golden Pills together into a whole, then the power of the Hundred-Eyed Pearl will definitely increase significantly, and may even surpass the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss.

He acted on his thoughts without hesitation. Taiwei didn't care about the karma of killing. Moreover, the King Serpent was filled with dark sinful energy. Killing the King Serpent would not increase Taiwei's own karmic burden. On the contrary, it should increase his merits in the Heavenly Dao.

The newly refined Hundred-Eyed Pearl on his wrist flew out instantly, and one hundred and eight golden pills shone brightly one after another on the dark and gloomy lake.

Surrounded by dazzling golden flames and pill energy, the 108 golden pills descended like 108 great suns. Although there was no scorching heat, the pure and vast light still made the countless creatures and aquatic beasts in the lake, who had been eroded by yin and turbid energy for many years, feel uncomfortable and helpless.

Layer upon layer of waves surged on the lake's surface, revealing tens of thousands of water monsters and spirits in this Heavenly Jaw Lake. Leading them was a fierce-looking, extremely burly man with a blue face, clad in golden armor and black cloak.

This man sat imposingly atop a hundred-foot-tall dragon head that lay prostrate on the lake's surface, his sinister eyes fixed on the one hundred and eight golden pills radiating endless light above.

"Which friend is joking with my Tian'e Water Mansion?"

The master of Tian'e Lake, Qi Gao, the blue-faced giant sitting atop the hundred-zhang-long dragon head, looked around, trying to find the hidden presence. However, even after scanning back and forth with his divine sense, Qi Gao still found nothing. His heart sank, and he had a bad premonition. The aura around him began to slowly rise.

"Tian'e Water Palace? The dragon clan is standing behind you?" As the purple and white robes fluttered, Taiwei's divine eagle emerged from a radiant sun and looked at Bei Qing beneath it with a look of curiosity on its face.

As the apparent rulers of the aquatic races in the primordial world, the establishment of almost all water palaces in the primordial world required reporting to the Dragon Clan and obtaining their consent. Furthermore, they were required to pay tribute to the Dragon Clan every hundred years.

Of course, the truly powerful forces would not care about the dragon race at all, and some of the great clans of the prehistoric continent would not care about the dragon race that is far away in the four seas.

Tian'e Lake is located in the Western Regions, far from the Western Sea. It is difficult for the true power of the Dragon Clan to extend here. With Bei Qing's cultivation at the Golden Immortal level, he should not lower himself to become an vassal of the Dragon Clan.

"Who stipulated that the establishment of a water palace must rely on the dragon clan?"

When Bei Qing saw Tai Wei appear, he breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that Tai Wei was also at the Golden Immortal realm. As they were both at the Golden Immortal realm, Bei Qing did not believe that he, with his advantage of terrain and powerful inheritance, would be no match for Tai Wei.

"If not submitting to the Dragon Clan, then who else could it be? Although the Western Regions are vast and boundless, there are few beings comparable to the Dragon Clan. For someone like you, a Golden Immortal, to guard this great lake, is it the White Tiger Royal Family? The Buddhist sect, or the Demonic sect?"

Taiwei calculated with his fingers, and after realizing that the secrets of Beiqing and Tian'e Lake were being concealed, he looked down at Beiqing and smiled: "I didn't expect that a casual act would yield such unexpected results. It's worth a Taiyi Grandmaster personally concealing the secrets of heaven. Tian'e Lake has a secret."

On Tian'e Lake, Bei Qing stood up from the top of the dragon's head. He clenched his right hand, and the hundred-foot-long dragon beneath him transformed into a ten-foot-long red-tasseled spear amidst the raging flames. Bei Qing looked at Taiwei above with a cold expression: "The Western Regions of the Primordial Wilderness are not just determined by the opinions of these few people."

"Oh? It seems the person behind you is quite extraordinary. I'm becoming more and more curious."

Taiwei chuckled softly, "I've taken a liking to your water mansion. I wonder if you'd be willing to part with it."

"Enough with the nonsense!"

A line of fire pierced the sky in an instant, and Bei Qing's figure appeared in front of Tai Wei in a flash. With the piercing of the red-cherry spear, the blazing sun behind Tai Wei was easily pierced through.

With a flick of his wrists, Bei Qing unleashed a barrage of spear strikes, forcing Tai Wei's figure out of the void.

Two great suns before him manifested yin and yang, purity and turbidity, with the blue sky and yellow earth merging together. Under the crushing power of heaven and earth, Bei Qing's red-tasseled spear instantly stopped in front of Taiwei.

In just a moment, accompanied by a sudden burst of fire, the Crimson Cherry Spear, adorned with countless flame patterns, tore apart the closing heaven and earth.

A swift and powerful line of fire swept past Taiwei's side, burning away a trace of blood in the intense flames.

Taiwei's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression hardened, and he struck out with his left hand. At this moment, the Yin and Yang energies evolved into the Xuanhuang Qi of Heaven and Earth, and the mighty power of Heaven and Earth struck the red-tasseled spear that had pierced through him.

A muffled roar resounded, but Taiwei remained motionless, looking at Beiqing, who had been knocked back a hundred feet by his palm strike, without the slightest hint of joy on his face.

Taiwei ran her left hand across her cheek, looking at the bloodstains on her fingertips. She frowned as she stared at Bei Qing opposite her, feeling a sense of disbelief.

Although he wasn't serious at first, the fact that Bei Qing, who was merely a post-natal being, was able to injure Tai Wei at the very beginning of the fight shows that his combat power far exceeds Bei Qing's cultivation level of the early Golden Immortal stage.

"Looks like I need to get serious."

One hundred and eight dazzling sun discs around Taiwei converged together, and the one hundred and eight golden cores slowly fused into a pure white spear that was almost identical in shape and length to the one in Beiqing's hand.

He gripped the pure white spear with both hands, and the bloody gashs on Taiwei's face instantly healed: "It's been a long time since I've used a spear. I hope this satisfies you."
