Chapter 1124: No Grudges, Only Life and Death

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the sky above the Western Region, Xu Qing transformed into an afterimage as he moved forward.

His current location was the largest range of the ancient teleportation array to reach the Divine Blood River, and the closest ancient teleportation array was …

"Based on my current speed, it'll take at least two days!"

Xu Qing muttered in his heart. He restrained all of his aura, including the petal mark between his eyebrows. At the same time, he used a secret technique and rushed towards the ancient transmission array.

Time slowly passed.

The sense of crisis grew stronger and stronger.

This kind of life and death crisis that came from the unseen made Xu Qing even more certain of his previous judgment.

Because as a disciple of an Lower Immortal, as a star, it was unreasonable for him to not have the qualifications to participate in the comprehension.

Therefore, Xu Qing determined that the person who had gone to comprehend the same thing as him was most likely the only star in the western region, Li Mengtu.

"Although the other party's information states that they possess the strength of a middle stage Sovereign, there's a possibility that the information on the map has expired, and there's also a possibility that they're concealing their strength."

Xu Qing's heart raced as he analyzed the situation. He didn't slow down at all as he teleported through the sky.

A day and a half later.

The aurora in the sky had already returned to normal. The crimson light was like flowing water, spreading endlessly. Under the aurora, Xu Qing, who was whistling forward, suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance with a serious expression.

Although his Quasi-Immortal token was concealed, it was only concealed from those who had a smaller range than him. As for those who had a larger range of tokens than him, it was impossible to conceal them.

At this moment, his badge detected a bright spot of light that had suddenly appeared at the edge of ten million miles away.

The speed of this speck of light was astonishing. It was ten million miles away from him a moment ago, but in the next instant, it had shrunk by half.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing looked up into the sky, and suddenly, boundless lightning appeared. Millions of lightning bolts exploded out, ripping everything apart as they shot toward Xu Qing.

For a moment, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and silver snakes danced wildly.

In an instant, it swept across the sky, enveloping all directions under the lightning.

It was as if the end of the world had arrived. Lightning flashed, the sky collapsed, and the earth shook. A terrifying aura filled everything.

Following that, a person walked out from the terrifying sea of lightning.

This person wore a black robe and had a head of black hair. He was a young man.

His eyes were like stars, and his appearance was handsome. However, he gave people a strange feeling. Especially in his eyes, lightning flashed, and his aura was magnificent.

Between his eyebrows, there were six and a half petals that were rotating.

It was Li Mengtu.

The moment he walked over, it was as if he had replaced the sun and moon, as if he had become the master of this world.

Every step he took caused Xu Qing's heart to tremble.

Accompanied by an intense pressure, it swept out like a storm, causing Xu Qing's long hair and clothes to flutter.

Li Mengtu didn't say a single word. The moment he appeared and saw Xu Qing, a shocking might erupted from his body.

This might was the manifestation of dao marks, and it was the aura of the Authority Power.

This was the power of the Authorities that Xu Qing had seen before. If the powers of the Authorities could be compared to starlight, then the dao might radiating from Li Mengtu's body would be the light of the bright moon.

Now that it had erupted, it formed a huge seal in front of Li Mengtu.

This seal emitted an extremely dense aura of death.

The moment it was formed, Li Mengtu said coldly.

"Death!"

As soon as the word was spoken, wind kicked up and clouds surged. Heaven and Earth changed colors, and the entire world was filled with a shocking aura of death. Demons and monsters appeared, and it was as if the world had become the underworld of ghosts.

The mournful wails reverberated in the air.

At the same time, a terrifying and irresistible feeling of death erupted from Xu Qing's body.

It was as if he had been locked down by an invisible force, and he could not resist or evade it.

It was as if the character, and the power of the Heavenly Dao, had become inevitable, natural law, the Heavenly Dao, everything.

This was one of Li Mengtu's four Authority.

Curse of Death!

When he made a move, he would use his authority and his trump card!

This was a clear indication of Li Mengtu's killing intent and decisiveness. The main reason for this was that he had used another of his Authority powers to obtain information about Xu Qing.

He knew that the enemy he was about to face could not be underestimated.

Therefore, he would either not make a move, or once he made a move, he would aim for a one-hit kill, not giving the other party a chance to show off his skills!

Therefore, although he did not see a petal between Xu Qing's eyebrows, and he was not sure if the person in front of him was the one he was looking for, he knew that according to the information he had, there was a high chance that she had the ability to hide the mark.

Thus, on this journey, as long as the owner of the token was within its range, he would use it as a trump card.

If they were all dead, then so be it.

If he was truly killed, the inheritance would naturally return.

However, if there was someone who could successfully resist his trump card, then there was a high chance that the other party … was the person he was looking for!

He would rather kill the wrong person than let them go.

This moment was no exception.

Xu Qing's expression flickered, and his mind reeled. There was no way to evade, no way to resist the power of the Authority, and his body began to wither.

At a rate visible to the naked eye, life was fading and life force was disappearing.

It was as if he had been cursed and had become a part of death, causing the collapse of fate.

Furthermore, the Authority's authority was extremely bizarre. All of Xu Qing's methods were ineffective against it.

At this moment, the feeling of death filled his entire body.

If it was anyone else, they would have died. After all, the person who came was Li Mengtu.

However, although most of Xu Qing's techniques had failed, … his Time Magic could be reversed.

In an instant, the Sundial appeared behind him. The aura of time rippled in all directions, distorting everything.

As the needle on the Sundial spun in reverse, time flowed back on his body.

Even the will of death had to yield in the face of time.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing's body began to wither, his soul began to fade, and his aura began to weaken. All of this changed, returning to the state he was in several breaths of time ago!

Using this method, Xu Qing finally managed to neutralize his death tribulation. Then, he abruptly retreated as he circulated his cultivation base and unleashed his Authority power. His expression was unprecedentedly grave.

This was the first time he had met someone who used his trump card right from the start.

His actions also exposed a possibility.

"With a trump card of this level, it's impossible for him to remain unharmed after using it!"

"So, either this is his habit, or … this person has some way to find out information about me, so he doesn't want to give me any chance to counterattack. So, he used his trump card to kill me at all costs!"

These thoughts appeared in Xu Qing's mind, but they didn't affect his counterattack.

Almost at the moment when time turned back, Xu Qing's counterattack suddenly began.

Similarly, there was no probing, no gradual layout.

The moment he made a move, he would use his trump card!

Heaven and Earth rumbled, and the wind screamed. The sea of lightning trembled as the Five elements burst out from Xu Qing, transforming into five shocking auras that filled the world.

There was also time and space that rose with it.

In the blink of an eye, gold became the divine seal, earth became the platform, wood became the blade groove, water became the blood mark, fire refined everything, time became the axis, and space became the blade!

It was the Seven Extreme War God Platforms that Xu Qing had derived from the Five Elements God Slaying Platforms after coming to the Western Regions and fusing with time and space.

As far as the eye could see, the void in all directions had been replaced by the enormous God Execution Stage.

Heaven and earth shone, and the world trembled.

The God-Slaying Saber slashed at Li Mengtu!

At this moment, Li Mengtu's face was slightly pale.

Every single one of his authorities was extraordinary. Even though they were astonishingly fierce and bizarre, it was precisely because of this that he had to endure a certain degree of backlash whenever he used them.

But now, as he saw this person in front of him use a time reversal technique and display an astonishing supernatural ability, he narrowed his eyes. His pupils shrank and emitted an icy cold light.

"It's you!"

As he spoke, Li Mengtu sensed the might of the divine ability in the face of the vast slash that filled the world. He instantly saw through its mysteries.

However, his eyes flashed and he didn't dodge. Instead, he raised his right hand and formed an incantation gesture in front of his chest.

"Flowers in the Mirror!"

As soon as these three words were spoken, a strange scene suddenly descended.

Huge black mirrors suddenly appeared around him, enveloping his entire body.

These mirrors looked extremely ancient, and each of them exuded a terrifying aura. They were filled with shocking curses, as if they were refined from small worlds, but also as if they were the convergence of Li Mengtu's spells.

At this moment, Xu Qing's figure was instantly reflected in the mirror.

The descending God Slaying Saber seemed to be slashing at Li Mengtu, but … Xu Qing's heart sank.

The danger of life and death rose in his heart.

At the critical moment, Xu Qing revealed a ruthless gaze. He did not choose to retract the God Execution Stage's power, instead strengthening it, making it even more powerful.

At the same time, his left hand formed a seal and pressed downward. Immediately, ripples appeared under his feet and spread out in all directions.

Heaven and Earth could be seen as a well.

In the next moment, the God-Slaying Blade landed on the mirror outside of Li Mengtu's body. However, the explosion of damage landed on Xu Qing.

Amidst the rumbling, Fishing the Moon in the Well took form.

It was not only Li Mengtu, but also Xu Qing himself.

The reason he fished out the former was to let his soul leave the mirror and injure him.

To fish him out was to avoid the God Slaying Sword and jump out of the well!

In the blink of an eye, the heavens collapsed and the earth split apart. The void collapsed and the sea of lightning rolled in reverse.

The mirror outside Li Mengtu's body was still there, but his soul was floating outside. The God-Slaying Saber caused his soul to let out a mournful cry as he unleashed his self-preservation technique.

Although he wasn't completely killed, and his soul was sent flying backward, he was still injured.

As for Xu Qing, a tremor ran through him as the God-Slaying Saber slashed across the surface of the well.

Blood gushed out as he retreated. His face was gloomy as he looked at Li Mengtu.

The battle had only just begun, but it was already so intense.

Xu Qing's fighting spirit skyrocketed, and he decided to stop hiding the flower petals on his forehead. He waved his hand, causing five and a half petals to appear.

As for Li Mengtu, his soul returned to his body, and he fell back, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. The mirror around him no longer reflected Xu Qing, but rather, Li Mengtu himself.

Then, all of the figures raised their heads, and just like their true selves, their eyes flickered with killing intent as they looked coldly at Xu Qing.

He stared at the flower petal between Xu Qing's eyebrows.

"You are indeed qualified to compete with me for the Dao!"

"As for the battle of the Great Dao, it has nothing to do with gratitude or grudges. If I kill you today, you should have no complaints. If you kill me, I will have no hatred either."
