Chapter 405: Impeccable

Li Tianxing's clothes fluttered as she moved. As the former Cult Master of the Heavenly Devil Cult, despite her unhinged temperament, her power was undeniably top-tier. The moment she attacked, she unleashed incredibly formidable combat prowess.

Her movements were elusive, yet each step landed with immense weight, perfectly blending heaviness and lightness.

As Li Tianxing extended her hand, space seemed to collapse and funnel into her palm. Around her hand, which served as the epicenter, dense, thread-like patterns materialized within the air.

Each node of these thread-like patterns represented a star. Clusters of several or dozens of stars formed constellations, and these 360 constellations, large and small, collectively formed a spatial Grand Luo Heaven Network.

Grand Luo Heaven Star Palm Force!

If one were to meticulously examine the stars and constellations within her Grand Luo Heaven Star Palm Force, they would discover that they formed various phenomena. For instance, the internal structure of the Ziwei Star appeared as a Celestial Palace, symbolizing imperial power.

The Seven Mansions of the White Tiger, comprising over seven hundred stars and fifty-four constellations, manifested various phenomena internally, such as the Kui Wood Wolf, Lou Gold Dog, and Wei Earth Pheasant. Each star represented a distinct power.

Li Tianxing was, after all, a former Cult Master of the Heavenly Devil Cult, having received teachings from the Woodcutter and comprehended her own Grand Unification cultivation method.

If not for her twisted mind, her talent and intellect would be considered among the very best in the world. The Grand Luo Heaven Star Palm Force was a peerless art she comprehended after thoroughly mastering the Grand Breeding Demonic Scripture, making it incredibly formidable.

She charged into the heart of the explosion and joined forces with Yanfeng Emperor. Instantly, violent fluctuations erupted from the epicenter, radiating outwards and causing countless monsters in the manor to spit blood. They hastily sought refuge in the grand halls to escape the shockwaves.

Halfway up the mountain, numerous jiaolong stood before Qin Mu, Ling Yuxiu, and the others, shielding them from the aftershocks of the divine power attacks.

Qin Mu pressed his palm onto the Carefree Sword, layers of heavenly vision opening in his eyes as he intently watched the battle unfolding in the manor.

His fingers continuously tapped the sword hilt, while various runes and symbols of Wuji, Taiji, the Four Symbols, and the Eight Trigrams materialized around him as he frantically performed calculations.

In the heart of the explosion, the collapsing world within the painting faded away, revealing Yanfeng Emperor and Li Tianxing circling and attacking a painting. Meanwhile, the black spear in the blind man's hand steadily lengthened, shaking as he continuously repositioned himself to stab at the painting.

From within the painting, arms and legs struck out, clashing head-on with the three grand masters, not yielding an inch.

Yanfeng Emperor's magic power was incomparably formidable. Although his cultivation had not yet returned to its peak, his current power was already enough to dominate the world, even surpassing Li Tianxing and the blind man. His movements were grand and sweeping, heavy and powerful, fiercely tyrannical.

Li Tianxing's divine abilities were even more impressive. Although her Grand Unification cultivation method wasn't considered an orthodox transmission, it unified the Grand Breeding Demonic Scripture, allowing her to freely employ various techniques and divine powers. Moreover, Qin Mu observed something in her that he himself lacked.

This was a deeper layer of divine abilities concealed within the Grand Breeding Demonic Scripture.

However, this type of divine ability required combining various powers from within the Grand Breeding Demonic Scripture. For instance, Li Tianxing's Grand Luo Heaven Star Palm Force integrated over three hundred divine abilities into a single palm strike, possessing terrifying power!

"Cult Master Li is truly a heaven-sent genius of our cult, what a pity her mind went astray," Qin Mu remarked with admiration.

The blind man's strength was undeniable, having already been showcased in his battle against Huanlong Jun. However, his current performance surpassed that previous duel; his divine spear continuously lengthened, its power intensifying with each extension. Every strike felt exquisitely precise.

His most outstanding quality was his ability to precisely compensate for the weaknesses of Li Tianxing and Yanfeng Emperor, always attacking where the enemy was forced to defend.

He complemented Li Tianxing and Yanfeng Emperor, enabling them to unleash their full power without having to worry about their own vulnerabilities.

Even so, the three of them were gradually unable to suppress Xing An, who was still inside the painting.

The painting floated around, and the fist and leg techniques within it not only blocked their attacks but also counter-attacked!

Xing An's divine abilities were immensely powerful, his magic power exceedingly formidable, and his physical body was outrageously strong. He rattled the trio until blood seeped from their mouths, and the painting itself continuously cracked under the strain.

He was about to break free!

Qin Mu frowned slightly, recognizing the trio's disadvantage. He suddenly called out, "Patriarch Yu!"

Yu Zhaoqing darted forward, her feet moving like lightning. With two fingers held together, she thrust them towards the painting.

Swish—

Her speed was incredible, moving like a fleeting shadow. The tips of her joined fingers glowed, piercing into the painting like a swift sword and a bolt of lightning!

The moment Yu Zhaoqing's strike connected, she immediately felt an overwhelmingly powerful force retaliate from within the painting, sending her delicate body trembling as she reeled backward.

Suddenly, the wings on Yu Zhaoqing's back unfurled with a whoosh. She flapped them, hovering in mid-air, dozens of scaled feathers vibrating rapidly. Countless runic patterns instantly appeared on her clothes, and light flowed swiftly as streams of radiance burst from her scaled feathers and shot into the painting.

A trace of blood appeared on the painting. Yanfeng Emperor and Li Tianxing were greatly invigorated, intensifying their assault.

Qin Mu's expression was tense. He whispered to the girls behind him, "Take this chance to enter the hall and take cover."

Ling Yuxiu quickly led Yan Jingjing and the others swiftly down the mountain, seeking refuge inside a grand hall.

Qin Mu frowned slightly. The frantic calculations around him were still ongoing, but he gradually realized his intellect wasn't enough; he could no longer calculate the blind man's or their chances of victory.

He shifted his feet, calculating the optimal angle for his strike and the probability of success. As he activated the Dragon Taming Art, jiaolong began to coil around him one by one, lending him their magic power.

Qin Mu's aura surged. As each jiaolong lent him power, his body grew taller, his magic power became increasingly formidable, and dragon scales furiously erupted from his skin, covering his entire body.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Several more Nine Heavens Formation Runes appeared in his pupils.

He activated the Nine Heavens Eye Opening Method to its absolute limit!

He not only used his profound mastery of numerology for calculations but also employed his divine eye to observe and analyze the battlefield.

"Xing An has a weakness! His body isn't quite adapting; its parts are rejecting each other!"

Suddenly, his eyes gleamed, and his spiritual power erupted. He mentally contacted Yu Zhaoqing, who immediately sent out mental waves to inform the blind man, Li Tianxing, and Yanfeng Emperor.

Halfway up the mountain, Qin Mu stopped, bending his knees and crouching low. The magic power from the dozens of jiaolong coiled around him turned violent, causing his aura to surge with sudden ferocity.

Qin Mu's hand, gripping the hilt of the Carefree Sword, moved, and instantly, sword light filled the heavens!

Qin Mu's leg strength exploded. With a single step, the peak speed of Cripple was almost perfectly replicated by him!

Boom!

Wherever Qin Mu passed, hundreds, even thousands, of overlapping afterimages appeared in the air, continuously extending forward as he hurtled straight towards the painting!

By the time he reached the painting, the Carefree Sword's light had erupted with its most intense brilliance!

His speed was extreme; the Carefree Sword's light, like a giant drill, flashed through and pierced directly through the painting!

The next moment, Xing An was impaled through the chest and ripped out of the painting. Behind Qin Mu and Xing An, the painting shattered into countless pieces!

At the same time, the blind man's attack followed swiftly. His Dragon Tapper Black Dragon Spear pierced Xing An from behind, bypassing his box and going straight through his chest.

Yanfeng Emperor and Li Tianxing attacked from left and right, their Nine Dragon Mountain-Shattering Palm and Grand Luo Heaven Star Palm Force almost simultaneously striking Xing An's left and right temples. A vast destructive power surged into Xing An's brain like a crushing torrent!

At the exact same instant, the light flowing from Yu Zhaoqing swiftly pierced into Xing An's feet, pinning them to the ground!

"Is it over?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Zhaoqing had been crucial in this battle; by acting as the central coordinator, communicating with Li Tianxing, Yanfeng Emperor, and the blind man to ensure synchronized movements, they were able to launch a sudden, decisive strike and kill Xing An in one fell swoop.

"Hahahaha, you're all quite good."

Xing An, impaled by both sword and spear, suddenly raised his head, revealing an expression of approval. Blood flowed from his mouth and wounds, but it then seemed to come alive, flowing back into his injuries and re-entering his body.

"You are all very impressive."

Xing An burst into laughter. Qin Mu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly drew his sword. But at that instant, Xing An extended his palm, flicking his fingers repeatedly. Qin Mu's body trembled violently, and the jiaolong coiled around him cried out in distress, one by one detaching themselves.

Qin Mu's power rapidly dwindled. The blind man, with a flick of his spear, lifted Xing An into mid-air, saving Qin Mu. Xing An then slammed his hand heavily onto the Dragon Tapper Divine Spear, causing sparks to fly from the blind man's hands. His hands were rubbed raw and bloody by the swiftly approaching spear. Just as the Dragon Tapper Divine Spear was about to pierce his chest, it suddenly transformed into a black bone dragon, rapidly rattling around his body and dissipating Xing An's power.

The Dragon Tapper Divine Spear rattled and roared, its very bones seemingly dislocating, letting out bursts of dragon roars as it finally dispersed the force. The black bone dragon then raised its head and coiled around the blind man repeatedly.

Xing An landed with a thud, two large holes ripped open on his chest, caused by Qin Mu's sword and the blind man's spear piercing his body.

His head was almost flattened, a result of Li Tianxing's and Yanfeng Emperor's palm force divine abilities, and the tops of his feet bore over a dozen holes, injuries inflicted by Yu Zhaoqing.

"You are truly remarkable!"

Xing An's face was squeezed into an elongated, distorted shape, yet he wore a sincere smile. "You're worth me going all out for."

Crack.

The box on his back cracked open, and three heads flew out. Xing An raised his hand, plucking off his flattened head, and the three new heads settled onto his neck, each shaking slightly.

The eyeballs from the flattened head then flew out, replacing the eyes of one of the new heads.

Four more arms flew out from the box, attaching themselves under his armpits and merging with his body.

Xing An stretched his arms, then reached in to pull out his pierced divine heart, replacing it with a new one. He then began extracting his severed ribs, shaking his head as he remarked, "Even if I kill you all, it would only be a break-even for me. You are all quite good, worth collecting."

The blind man's expression changed drastically. He reached out, and with a clang, the Dragon Tapper landed in his hand, transforming into a black spear. "We cannot wait for him to finish changing his body!" he said sternly.

He thrust his large spear, and Yanfeng Emperor and Li Tianxing immediately attacked from left and right. Yu Zhaoqing also attacked with all her might. However, Xing An remained calm and composed, his two hands continuing to replace his damaged body parts.

Bang—

Yanfeng Emperor was struck by several consecutive punches and sent flying backward. The blind man's Dragon Tapper Divine Spear had its tip grabbed by one of Xing An's new hands. With a forceful shake, Xing An flung the blind man high into the air.

Xing An's other two heads roared, their voices like thunder, bombarding Yu Zhaoqing in mid-air. Blood seeped from Yu Zhaoqing's mouth, her spirit lost control, and she plunged from the sky!

Li Tianxing's palm power erupted, and immediately she saw Xing An, now with a new body, three heads and six arms, confront her!

"How are we supposed to fight this?" Her mind went blank.

"Is this the Demonic Seed in the Dao Heart technique, Cult Master Li?"

Xing An's three faces, each distinct—male, female, old, and young—revealed sinister smiles. "It's easy to break!" he sneered. "After you die, I will make sure to preserve this body well!"
