Chapter 718: Chapter 497: Heavenly Court Imperial Pond, Land of Resurrection!_2
Under such circumstances, even if I were to ultimately triumph, I’d still suffer some losses—unlike the stability I enjoy now.
Not to mention the Qi Mechanism currently manifesting ’above the heavens,’ now engaging in confrontation with the Tao Realm atop the Nine Heavens!
If it weren’t for that Great Power’s timely intervention, the Heavenly Court wouldn’t have allowed me to slay their Immortal Gods and Heavenly Soldiers so freely—they would undoubtedly have unleashed thunderous retaliation by now!
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate smiled faintly, his gaze upon Qin Zheng full of gratification, and nodded as he spoke: "I had thought that, despite your formidable talent, you would need centuries before you returned."
On the day of their parting, he had warned Qin Zheng: Either cultivate yourself to Primordial Chaos Without Limit, or collect the Haotian Mirror in its entirety—otherwise, do not return to the Thirty-Three Heavens.
And now, although Qin Zheng has made remarkable progress, he has yet to reach Primordial Chaos Without Limit; rather, he has achieved Upper Realm Chaos. This means Qin Zheng must have already fully gathered the Haotian Mirror!
And in just barely over a decade! frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
What he had failed to accomplish in millions of years, Qin Zheng achieved in such a short span of time.
Truly a man destined by fate!
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate sighed inwardly with emotion but continued smilingly: "You’ve done exceptionally well."
Qin Zheng responded with a faint smile.
Meanwhile, the Qi Mechanisms of the two Tao Realm Great Powers ’above the heavens’ remained locked in confrontation, their collision ongoing, and not yet a moment for pleasantries.
Their gazes simultaneously turned toward Li Jing, scrutinizing the battered and weakened Nezha before him—his head blasted apart by the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, his heart pierced repeatedly by the Zhu Xian Sword, his limbs severed.
Yet, even suffering such grievous wounds, the vitality within Nezha burned fiercely like raging flames, far from extinguished—but an elusive force within him steadily eroded his lifeforce.
Qin Zheng’s gaze narrowed slightly as he spoke again: "His will is strong—I cannot end him with a single strike; only suppression and gradual erosion will suffice."
With his current level of cultivation and power, bolstered by the Sealing Technique and Other Shore Divine Weapon, Nezha was certainly no match for him.
Yet Qin Zheng could not swiftly vanquish him and could only resort to wearing him down methodically like water drip by drip.
Unless... he utilized the Haotian Mirror!
But with the Heavenly Court’s Tao Realm presence observing, he dared not yet reveal this Divine Artifact.
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate nodded in silent acknowledgment, showing no intent to intervene, but turned his gaze to Li Jing and asked aloud: "Mr. Qin, how do you intend to handle this one?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jing’s expression shifted slightly, his tone growing cold as he retorted: "This disgrace relies solely on a few Divine Artifacts to achieve such an appearance despite mere Upper Realm Chaos."
"I am gravely wounded—dare you abandon your trinkets and fight me one-on-one? Let me see the measure of your true strength!"
"Life or death, it rests on skill alone!"
Inwardly, he remained uneasy; though Qin Zheng was ostensibly at the Upper Realm Chaos level, the Three Pure Ones Divine Artifacts wielded Other Shore-level power—they might indeed fully annihilate him!
Qin Zheng raised his gaze toward Li Jing, his eyes turning icy cold.
This treacherous cur had schemed from the start, using the lives of those within the Primordial Cave Heaven as leverage, truly intent on carrying out such threats to the bitter end.
If the opportunity allowed, Qin Zheng truly wanted to slay him outright.
But Li Jing’s faction remained comparable to Nezha’s in strength—far beyond his ability to dispatch as effortlessly as the Four Heavenly Kings or the Thunder Mother and Lightning Father.
Thus, Qin Zheng hesitated not for a moment and declared directly: "Seal and bind him first—once this is over, then we kill him!"
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate nodded lightly.
He understood Qin Zheng’s reasoning—the Haotian Mirror could obliterate the Pollution Qi within these Immortal Gods’ bodies, making their fall final and irreversible.
But with the Heavenly Court’s eyes fixed upon this place, Qin Zheng was understandably reluctant to expose the Divine Artifact now.
This aligned with his own sentiments.
With that, Daoxing Heavenly Venerate waved his horsetail whisk, its myriad silver threads sweeping across Li Jing and Nezha—instantly sealing these two formidable Primordial Chaos Without Limit Immortal Gods.
Li Jing was overcome with inexplicable dread, as if dark clouds were crowding his thoughts, and he abandoned decorum to shout defiantly: "Disgrace! Coward! Too timid to face me directly!"
When Daoxing Heavenly Venerate’s sleeve swept forth once more, however, his audacious tirade turned into cries of panic, as he pleaded desperately: "Heavenly Emperor, save me!!!!"
Before the words even finished, the sleeve swallowed both Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court, and in an instant, they vanished without a trace.
At last, the contingent of Immortal Gods dispatched by the Heavenly Court to hunt down Qin Zheng was completely subdued. Any existence at the Mixed Element Level, whether Heavenly Soldiers or several Immortal Gods, had been either slain or sealed.
As for those Heavenly Soldiers below Mixed Element Level, they had been swept away by the shockwaves in the battle’s initial moments, scattering to who knows where.
Qin Zheng raised his gaze toward ’above the heavens,’ where two great suns revealed themselves, their true forms indiscernible amidst their vast, ocean-like Qi Mechanisms colliding endlessly.
Yet, in this very moment, leveraging the power of the Haotian Mirror, Qin Zheng discerned the truth: Those Qi Mechanisms, as they clashed, were fiercely eroding one another!
His gaze froze—so, the two Tao Realm Great Powers were not merely locked in confrontation from afar but had been engaging one another through subtle methods from the start!
No wonder even now, after he had dealt with the Heavenly Court’s Immortal Gods, the Tao Realm forces hadn’t made any moves.
Qin Zheng’s mind stirred, intending to use the Haotian Mirror’s abilities within his Inner Heaven and Earth for a clearer observation of the two Great Powers’ clashes.
But at the next moment.
Crack!
BOOM!!
The Chaotic Void erupted with fractures, as the boundless Qi Mechanisms of the Tao Realm hurled themselves into these crevices with a deafening roar, cascading violently into an unknown realm.
The tumult did not persist for long; the fractures in the Chaotic Void healed, and the immense Qi Mechanisms radiating from the two great suns gradually subsided into calm.
"You, gravely injured and spared days ago, feigning strength at only four-tenths your former might—do you dare interfere so recklessly?"
A grand heavenly voice descended from infinite heights.
Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed, followed immediately by a disdainful chuckle that echoed in rebuttal, tauntingly: "Don’t act so superior—the one who fears death is certainly not me!"
A pause, followed by a voice dripping with rebellious killing intent: "I’ll ask you only this—yield Yuantong Primordial Cave Heaven to me now or prepare to join me in a chaotic war!"
Silence lingered from the Nine Heavens above, until finally, a reply emerged: "Take Yuantong Primordial Cave Heaven, but that traitor who slew the Heavenly Court’s Immortals cannot be allowed to live."
Qin Zheng’s expression darkened slightly—though he had concealed the Haotian Mirror, the fully nurtured Three Pure Ones Divine Artifacts had still caught the attention of the Heavenly Court’s Tao Realm.
At once, he activated the Haotian Mirror’s traversal capabilities along with the Merit Scroll’s [Walking All Heavens].
If ’his side’s’ Tao Realm Great Power faltered under pressure and agreed to the Heavenly Court’s conditions, he would have to rely on his own power to escape unscathed.
Fortunately, his fears proved needless—Daoxing Heavenly Venerate approached, patting his shoulder lightly. As Qin Zheng turned to look, he saw the Heavenly Venerate shaking his head, calming him with a silent assurance.
Sure enough, in the next instant.
"Begone! This man has aided me; if you wish to take him, you’d better declare war against me directly!"
A resounding roar echoed across the heavens.
Immediately, one of the great suns ’above the heavens’ grew visibly more brilliant, its Qi Mechanism surging rapidly, stirring upheaval throughout the Thirty-Three Heavens.
"If words fail, then fight!"
"Whoever wins, he belongs to them!"
A voice brimming with killing intent echoed, as the chaotic void began twisting rapidly into a massive vortex, seeming to encompass even the chaos outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.
"One last question—fight or flee!"
The provocation left no room for negotiation!
Still, the great sun above the Nine Heavens remained silent.
But in this moment, Qin Zheng felt a mysterious, high-order power descending suddenly from infinite heights, landing directly atop his crown.
Are they striking out without warning?!
Thunder erupted within Qin Zheng’s heart as he instinctively activated both the Haotian Mirror and [Walking All Heavens]!
