That little flame appeared to be extremely pure as it took on a deep and dark red color. It looked as though it was a beautiful red lotus which was blossoming in mid-air as the every petal had radiance which was glistening though its translucent texture. This gave off a very dreamy and indulgent atmosphere as though one's soul would be drawn within the sight of this lotus.
That was one of the seven primordial fires, the Red Lotus Fire. It was the flame which was controlled by the Samsara Sect.
The strangely alluring red flame looked as though it would drag the masses into samsara and into the cycle of reincarnation.
Shen Qifeng tapped his finger as the Red Lotus Fire blossomed fully in the void and blocked the white light which was rolling towards him,
He took in a deep breath as he raised a golden pearl. The golden pearl glistened in the sky and revealed a light projection which was even greater than the Sakra-Devanam-Indra one.
It was a magic treasure that was at the peak of its Metaplasia stage. Its was called the Brahmā Magic Pearl. It was the prized treasure of the Samsara Sect's Path of the Heavenly Man other than the Wheel of the Six Paths.
During the Anti-Celestial Sect War, Shi Tianfang died and the Wheel of the Six Paths was taken away by Xu Anda to create the Life and Death Book. And hence, the Path of the Heavenly Man was left with the Brahmā Magic Pearl as its prized treasure.
When Lin Feng went to tear down the Samsara Sect, this treasure had long been sent to a place farway for its refinement and hence could avoid a disastrous fate. Thus, when Shen Qifeng assumed the position of the leader of the Sect, the Brahmā Magic Pearl became his magic treasure.
Shen Qifeng raised the Brahmā Magic Pearl and stared it with great reverence. The humongous light projection of the Brahmā lifted his hand slowly and tapped his finger in the direction of Yang Qing.
With the movement of his finger, it was as though life could be created and vitality could be breathed into inanimate objects. But as with the creation of life, destruction ensues as everything would be set to ground zero.
A powerful golden flash was emitted from the fingertip of the Brahmā light projection as it shot forwards towards Yang Qing.
Yang Qing remained calm as he raised a painting with reverence that matched Shen Qifeng's. As the painting unravelled, the repulsive Unholy Blood River streamed out, tainting the golden brilliance as it rippled into the space around it.
He might only possess the abilities of an Advanced Nascent Soul stage cultivator, but Yang Qing's unravelling of the Scroll of the Blood River was able to enhance the prowess of the Gestation Stage Magic Treasure tremendously using the essence of the Blood River Primordial Water.
Despite having attained the Immortal Soul stage, he was unable to unleash the full potential of his Metaplasia stage magic treasure, the Brahmā Magic Pearl.
Nonetheless, the Brahmā Magic Pearl truly was the crème de la crème amongst the Metaplasia stage magic treasures as it possessed unimaginable amounts of power. The streak of golden light might have been tainted by the Blood River Primordial Water but its penetration through the Unholy Blood River was not slowed and its trajectory did not deviate from Yang Qing.
Yang Qing remained unfazed but one of his pupils had transformed into a pure golden color while the other turned into jade green. He extended his arms and spreaded them to his sides as the jade green Grand Moon Primordial Water appeared in his left palm while the brilliant Grand Sun Primordial Flame burst into flames on his right palm.
The two powerful sources of energy continued to grow increasingly concentrated beforethe Grand Sun Primordial Flame suddenly inject itself into the very ceter of the Gand Moon Primordial Water. These two ostensibly contrasting powerful elements started to fuse in an unorthodox manner as a mystical transformation began.
After penetrating into the center of the Grand Moon Primodial Water, both the fire and water had disappeared, leaving nothing but a void behind. The emptiness of the void behaved in an extremely unscientific manner as a powerful force launched itself upon the streak of golden light that was coming for Yang Qing. The collision between this force and the golden light resulted in the instantaneous shattering of the golden light.
Four Appearances Yin-Yang Transformation, Change of Yang in Vacuum!
Yang in Yin, Realm of Vacuum Yang!
Yang Qing looked up at Shen Qifeng before he released a loud bellow.
A clear light was emitted from the top of his head and within the light, one could see the formation of Yang Qing's gigantic cosmic form.
The giant landed on the void and its figure appeared to support the Heavens. The giant had eight limps which supported the Eight Trigrams while its four different faces projected different expressions. In a very strange way, it was supposedly calm, gentle, sorrowful and angry at the same time.
But the most attention-grabbing feature was how its figure was half-black and half-white.
After revealing his cosmic form, Yang Qing mustered voluminous amounts of the Grand Moon Primordial Water and the Grand Sun Primordial Flame before dashing towards Shen Qifeng.
Shen Qifeng attempted to stop Yang Qing with his Red Lotus Fire but it was exploded by Yang Qing's Gand Sun Primordial Flame. The needle-like rays of the Grand Sun Primordial Flame pierced through Shen Qifeng's Red Lotus Fire and ravaged it into its very own explosion.
The Red Lotus Fire was nonetheless a mysterious entity. It was extremely hard to remove once it got onto one's body. But with the Grand Moon Primordial Water protecting and safeguarding him, Yang Qing was safe from the explosion of the Red Lotus Fire.
Facing Yang Qing's counter attack, Shen Qifeng let out a small sigh before a visible transformation began to happen on his body as his immortal soul started to reveal itself.
The energy radiated from the immortal soul generated waves which rippled across the void. The Sakra-Devanam-Indra figure was a lot more concentrated and more powerful than the previous figure formed from mana alone.
After calling upon the Sakra-Devanam-Indra figure, Shen Qifeng bellowed, "One with the Universe!"
The Brahmā Magic Pearl above his head compounded the power of the Sakra-Devanam-Indra figure, resulting in a surge in the pressure emanated from the figure. Its power was now much more greater than when there was only the Brahmā Magic Pearl alone.
However, it seemed as though Yang QIng was not in the least intimidated by Shen Qifeng. Yang Qing continued in his execution of the Realm of Vacuum Yang as he utilized the destructive powers of the void to launch an attack on Shen Qifeng's Grand Brahma Finger.
Shen Qifeng stared at Yang Qing as a serious expression replaced his previous look. He began to mutter a string of syllables which sent chills down people's spine.
These strange syllables appeared to form a mystical ballad that echoed within the void as its meaning remained undecipherable.
After hearing the ballad, Mo Xiuluo lifted his head and looked at Shen Qifeng.
As the current leader of the Samsara Sect and a cultivator at the Immortal Soul stage Third Level, Mo Xiuluo could recognize this strange spell. It was a skill that was not passed down widely within the Samsara Sect - the Samsara Song.
This spell was lost ever since the fall of the Giant Samsara Priest. Even Shi Tianfang who had just fallen did not manage to learn it.
This spell was only recreated and passed onto Mo Xiuluo and Shen Qifeng after the rebirth of the Emperor of the Dead.
But Shen Qifeng was able to complete the technique at the Immortal Soul First Level. That was something that was out of Mo Xiuluo's expectations. Mo Xiuluo thought, "This lad's talent is definitely above Shi Tianfang's. He would definitely become someone greater than his master in the future."
"With the Samsara Song and the Brahmā Magic Pearl, Shen Qifeng will be able to challenge many cultivators from the Immortal Soul Second Level."
After hearing the Samsara Song, even Yang Qing could not help but snap out of focus. The cosmic fomrm above Yang Qing's head also revealed a moment of weakness.
The power of the Samsara Song was undeniable as it had the ability to send shaken souls into samsara.
Yang Qing frowned a little as his usually gentle look turned into an extremely cold look.
The golden and jade-green pupils in his eyes transformed as the golden pupil turned into a pure white color while the green one turned black. His pair of eyes appeared to have changed into the polar opposite colors of Yin and Yang.
He brought his palms together in front of his chest as the jade-green Grand Moon Primordial Water enveloped his body before fusing into his body.
Yang Qing's body instantly turned jade-green as though he had become a man made from water.
And in the next instant, his jade-green body turned matte black!
At the same time, the cosmic form above Yang QIng's head turned from half-white and half-black into matte black as well.
As both Yang Qing himself and his cosmic form turned mate black, a fine icy blue mist layered itself on the matte black exterior. If one were to look closely at the mist, one would notice a terrifying white flash within the mist.
A worried look flashed upon Shen Qifeng's face as he could detect a powerful destructive aura from Yang Qing. The spiritual energy in the air was forcedfully split into Yin and Yang energy before being extinguished into nothingness.
Four Appearances Yin-Yang Changing Spell, Change of Terminating Grand Yin, Yin in Yin, Realm of Terminated Yin!
Yang Qing's facial features remained clear and visible despite transforming into a black water figure. However, no expression was visible on his face as his eyes appeared to be drained of emotions.
He was nothing but the harbinger of destruction and emptiness.
Even though he had already executed the Realm of Terminated Yin, Yang Qing's body and cosmic form continued to be affected by the Samsara Song which was boosted by the Brahmā Magic Pearl. However, Yang Qing's emotions would not be shaken by anything at all.
He did not care about any defensive preparation as he brought his hand together and a white flash formed in his palm.
The white flash was hurled towards Shen Qifeng as it looked towards enveloping Shen Qifeng.
Shen Qifeng swore inside as he prepared to dodge the white flash. However, just when he was about to move aside, Shen Qifeng found the world about him in a different state. It was supposed to be in the day but it had suddenly turned dark. There was a painfully white moon that hung alone up in the sky as though it was staring at him.
At that moment, Shen Qifeng found himself enshrouded in darkness. Even though there was the bright moon above his head, he could could not see anything else. Not even his own limbs. Only endless darkness.
Shen Qifeng found himself slowly losing his sense of hearing, sight and smell. It was as though he had fallen into a bottomless trench and could not stop his fall.
His consciousness, memories, emotions, awareness seemed to be losing themselves in the eternal darkness It was as though he was falling into the deepest slumber and the pale moon would watch him fall into this eternal sleep.
After getting hit by Yang Qing's Solitary Rest of the Grand Moon, Shen Qifeng, in the eyes of the rest, had become nothing more than a mud puppet without awareness or any semblance of life. His immortal soul avatar's gleaming exterior continued to be stripped of its glamour as though his immortal soul was about to shatter into smithereens!
The Brahmā Magic Pearl's brilliant glow started to become dimmer but it never stop its revolution. And it finally woke Shen Qifeng up from his deep slumber.
Shen Qifeng might have been awakened, but he could still feel that part of his consciousness was still basking under the insidious glow of the pale moon as the flow of mana within his body remained sluggish.
It was just at this moment when a few blurry black figures flew in from the side. They appeared to be oblivious towards the terrifying aura about Yang Qing as they followed the streams of Yang Qing's mana flow and consciousness to relay feedback to him.
In the battleground away from Yang Qing and Shen Qifeng, Gu Peng and the Immortal Cane were both bogged down by two Beast God Puppets. King Wuguan and Sikong You made their way silently to the nearabouts of Yang Qing and Shen Qifeng on the Ferocious Ghost Temple.
