Qingfeng Li faced Huozhu Chi's terrifying punch, his face full of contempt. He wasn't worried in the least.
To him, Huozhu Chi wasn't even a threat. Unless Huozhu Chi used his secret Dharma treasures, or some other treasure given to him by the Crimson Fire Monarch, his power and techniques were no match for Qingfeng Li.
Saint Solar Palm!
Qingfeng Li swung his hand forward, creating an eighty thousand foot wide plume of solar essence fire.
The solar essence fire raged at temperatures of eleven thousand degrees, two thousand degrees higher than Huozhu Chi's flames. The moment they appeared, the flames shattered through the dimensional barrier. Even the planet itself quivered around them.
All the bones nearby were shattered. Even some of the baleful energy around them was being dissolved by the heat, unable to withstand the extreme temperatures.
Qingfeng Li's Saint Solar Palm slammed into Huozhu Chi's Crimson Fire Fist. Instantly, the other's vital essence fist was blown apart. Huozhu Chi's body was thrown back, blood spewing from his mouth. He was mortally wounded.
Qingfeng Li stood over Huozhu Chi haughtily."Your fist technique and flames are no match for mine, " he said.
Qingfeng Li gathered the solar essence fire within his body. He threw out wave after wave of Saint Solar Palms, each one with the power to tear apart heaven and earth. He forced Huozhu Chi's body further and further back. Cracks had begun to appear on the surface of Huozhu Chi's body.
Although Huozhu Chi had been wearing a ninth level spirit monarch realm robe, under Qingfeng Li's relentless assault, it was quickly reduced to tatters. At the same time, several of Huozhu Chi's ribs had also been broken. He continued to be pushed back until, finally he stood at the edge of a massive cliff.
"Qingfeng Li, you damned bastard. You actually managed to learn the Sun Monarch's palm technique. Looks like I have no choice but to use my forbidden powers."
Huozhu Chi glared at Qingfeng Li, teeth clenched. There was a hint of madness within the killing intent in his eyes.
"Essence Blood Ignition, Flame Tiger Monarch Bloodline!"
With a roar, Huozhu Chi activated the bloodline power within himself. Slowly, a giant Flame Tiger Monarch appeared over his head.
The Flame Tiger Monarch was positively massive. It measured over eighty thousand feet tall. Floating up out of the Time River, it emerged with immense power.
Its head alone was the size of a small mountain. Its body measured several thousand meters long. Crimson fire burned atop its tail and its eyes were the size of several dozen water tanks. Its figure was awe-inspiring. Immediately after appearing, it glared toward Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with bloodlust.
Qingfeng Li stared ahead at Huozhu Chi mockingly. To be honest, he was disappointed. He had thought Huozhu Chi was about to use some terrible power. However, it was just a bloodline power.
As far as Qingfeng Li was concerned, any bloodline short of the saint level was no threat to him. Unfortunately, none of these self-cultivators knew just what kind of incredibly powerful bloodline Qingfeng Li had.
"Devourer Bloodline!"
Qingfeng Li also activated the bloodline power within his own body. Over his head, an eighty-thousand-foot black vortex formed. It floated there, swirling like a black hole in space.
With incomprehensible power, the vortex dashed forward, and, with a loud snap, it drew Huozhu Chi's Flame Tiger Monarch Bloodline toward Qingfeng Li.
Huozhu Chi's expression changed and a hint of terror appeared in his eyes."Devourer Bloodline, " he gasped."How is this possible? That's one of the top ten most powerful bloodlines in the Universe. There's no way it could appear here!"
Qingfeng Li didn't reply. As his Devourer Bloodline was still in its early stages, it could only appear as a single black vortex.
According to what Qingfeng Li knew, in its final stages of evolution, the Devourer Bloodline would be able to form three thousand black vortices. These represented the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Legends say that, then, it would be able to devour even immortal kings.
Of course, Qingfeng Li could only form one vortex for now. And a small one at that. However, it was more than enough to deal with Huozhu Chi.
Under Huozhu Chi's terrified gaze, Qingfeng Li's Devourer Bloodline formed a massive vortex and drew the Flame Tiger Monarch Bloodline into itself, converting it into its own energy.
Having absorbed the bloodline power, Qingfeng Li's body expanded. His vital essence was changing, as was his spirit nucleus.
The little Sun Spirit Nucleus in Qingfeng's Dantian suddenly let out a burst of golden light. As though it had just eaten the greatest meal in the world, its body grew stronger. It was becoming more powerful than it had ever been.
Qingfeng Li sighed to himself. He was a hair's breadth away from reaching the spirit monarch realm, Ninth Class. If only there had been a little more.
Puh-chh!
Having lost the Flame Tiger Monarch Bloodline, Huozhu Chi opened his mouth and spurted out a large mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with fear.
His greatest source of power had been his bloodline power. It was an extremely powerful ninth level of spirit monarch realm bloodline, famous all across the Crimson Fire Continent. It was definitely one of the top ten most powerful bloodlines on the continent, and now, it had been devoured by Qingfeng Li. Today, he had truly met his match.
Qingfeng Li swung his Saint Solar Palm once more toward his enemy. The blow struck heavily upon Huozhu Chi's chest, right over his heart. It left a large hole where his heart had been. As for his heart, it had been shattered completely.
Huozhu Chi's final glance toward Qingfeng Li was bitter and enraged as he flew backward. His eyes closed, then he fell down the side of the cliff.
Qingfeng Li walked to the edge of the cliff and peered down. The chasm below was bottomless. Even using the golden light of his Clairvoyance ability, Qingfeng Li couldn't see the bottom.
Deep below, the crevasse was filled with a swirling black gas. It looked incredibly eerie.
Huozhu Chi had fallen down there. However, Qingfeng Li knew that his heart had been shattered. There was no way he could live for long.
Not far from him, Linglong Xue's expression changed. Her eyes grew serious as she looked at Qingfeng Li. At the same time, there was a hint of fear in them.
She understood that her own power was about the same level as that of Huozhu Chi. If Qingfeng Li could kill Huozhu Chi in one blow, it meant that he could do the same to Linglong Xue.
She gave a bitter smile as she spoke to Qingfeng Li, "You are unmatched among those of the same Realm. Such genius only appears once in a very long time. I can't believe I would meet one."
Qingfeng Li smiled back at her."Rest at ease. You just helped me. I'm not going to kill you."
Linglong Xue rolled her eyes, giving Qingfeng Li a glare. She didn't speak, but what she thought to herself was this: Even if you want to kill me, there's no guarantee that you can.
Linglong Xue had powerful secret treasures hidden on her person, more powerful than even a death-defying charm. Normal people would never be able to kill him. Even if they managed somehow, she would be resurrected elsewhere. Of course, there was no reason for her to disclose such a secret with Qingfeng Li.
