"Ha ha ha, do you feel your blood boiling, as if flames are burning inside your organs?" Watching the irregular rhythm of the green mist around Li Qingquan, Hun Tuo burst into laughter while continuously rubbing the Taiyin Divine Chain in his hands.

"Damned old man, what magic are you using?" Li Qingquan thought quickly, attempting to escape the current perilous situation while speaking to Hun Tuo.

"This is my Magic Treasure, the Taiyin Divine Chain..." Hun Tuo proudly began to explain to Li Qingming.

Because he was confident enough, no one who had ever been affected by the Divine Chain Demon Sound had managed to escape its influence.

"Uncle Hun Tuo, stop talking nonsense with him! Kill him!" At this moment, Hun Tian grew impatient. Covering his continuously bleeding left arm, he took a few steps forward, glared at the immobile Li Qingquan with a smirk, and said, "You hide your head but reveal your tail. In the end, you are still going to die by my hand! Uncle Hun Tuo, kill him!"

"Okay! Boy, no matter who you are, forcing me to this extent is already an honor for you. Now die!" Hun Tuo shouted loudly, his Divine Chain suddenly flying out, carrying that eerie demon sound, directly targeting and coiling around Li Qingquan's head.

On the distant city wall, Wushuang and a few other City Lords suddenly changed their expressions, saying, "This is bad, that young fellow is in danger!"

Right after their words fell, they were about to activate the Array, breaking through the Void to rescue Li Qingquan.

"Respected City Lords, please hold your anxieties, we haven't reached the limit yet!" Li Qingquan quickly stopped the City Lords, saying.

"Boy, we know your cultivation is higher than ours, but that young fellow isn't an aberration like you, possessing the power of a Primordial Spirit! Even a moment's delay and that young fellow would be finished," Jin Jie City Lord said irritably as he pushed Li Qingming away, intending to break through the Void.

"Roar~~~ Roar~~~"

At that moment, another change occurred on the distant battlefield.

Suddenly, from the mass of Yuqing True Essence surrounding Li Qingquan, there came two furious roars of a wild beast. Then, a black and white dual-colored fierce flame surged from his body, and soon, a huge black and white Fierce Beast floated in midair, roaring towards the sky, continuously shaking its body, with smoke and clouds soaring up.

An immensely sharp and majestic aura directly sent out golden ripples, like ocean waves, rushing towards all directions.

Distant mountains hit by the golden ripples turned into dust in an instant; Hun Tian's subordinates on the battlefield, unable to dodge in time, were swept by the ripples, instantly turned into mincemeat, both body and spirit obliterated.

And the most severely injured, of course, were Hun Tian and Hun Tuo who were in the forefront.

Hun Tian was better off, having a top Innate Spiritual Treasure for protection given by his father. As for the unfortunate Hun Tuo, he was not so lucky. Although he had a Saint Body, firstly, he had no Protective Spirit Treasure, and secondly, his strength was sealed by fifty percent, so in this situation, he was directly severely injured by the golden ripples, bleeding from seven orifices, foaming at the mouth.

"What, what is happening?"

"Why does that fierce beast look so familiar?"

Both sides on the battlefield stopped their actions, casting their eyes here, showing shocked expressions.

"Holy shit, does it have to be so ferocious? Could this be Second Brother Li's true form?" Man Niu, who had just finished dealing with the killings on the western battlefield, leaned on Long Xu and asked.

Long Xu touched the dragon horn on top of his head, saying, "Seems like it! I only heard the eldest brother mention it! Something about Soul Avatar, something about reincarnation… Ah, I don't really understand!"

The people on the city wall also all became dumbstruck, pointing at the black and white Fierce Beast in the sky, each one incomprehensibly excited.

"Qingming, Qingming... This, could this be the Swallowing Sky Bear?" Wushuang, holding Li Qingming's arm, asked nervously.

Li Qingming's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, but he still nodded, saying, "Yes! How so, have you seniors seen it before?"

"Once the Swallowing Heaven appears, witches gather! Obtaining the source to prove the path, Universe in harmony..." Scorpion City Lord muttered to himself, his eyes dull, "The legends are true, the legends are true..."

"Once the Swallowing Heaven appears..." Li Qingming repeated the words of Scorpion City Lord, feeling as if he had touched upon some secret. He grabbed Wushuang and asked, "Wushuang City Lord, Wushuang City Lord... what is going on? What is this 'Once the Swallowing Heaven appears, Universe in harmony'?"

Wushuang, awakened by Li Qingming, looked somewhat distractedly at the Swallowing Sky Bear in the distant sky, saying, "In the Witch Tribe during the First Epoch, there is a saying that goes: 'Once the Swallowing Heaven appears, witches gather! Obtaining the source to prove the path, Universe in harmony.' Our understanding of the first half is, when the Witch Tribe is scattered and wandering through the Universe Chaos Cosmos, the Swallowing Heaven lineage will appear after dozens of Epochs! It will lead the fragmented branches of the Witch Tribe back to Pangu's Great Thousand World. As for the latter part, we ourselves do not understand!"

"So that's it!" Li Qingming stroked his smooth chin, feeling something was amiss, but he just couldn't figure it out.

…

"Boom!"

After roaming across the sky for a short while, the Bear phantom suddenly leaped, diving into Li Qingquan's sturdy body.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the swirling azure brilliance flicked continuously until it finally dispersed into nothingness, revealing the figure within.

At this moment, Li Qingquan had undergone a major transformation; he had grown taller and bulkier, wearing a black Daoist robe, and his sword-like eyebrows were sharply pointing to the sky, his deep eyes shimmering with mesmerizing brilliance.

What most caught the attention of the crowd was the overwhelming aura of a Middle Stage Saint emanating from him, majestic and capable of holding up the heavens!

Beneath the endless stars, countless beings stared dumbfounded at the stern-looking Li Qingquan. Even those like Long Xu Hu, who had never seen his true form, were shockingly agape with disbelief.

"I never intended to break the seal, but did you think I couldn't break free from your prohibitions? That you could manipulate me at will?" Li Qingquan coldly snorted, looking at the bloodied and terrified Hun Tuo in the distance, saying, "Since you wish for death, I shall grant it to you!"

"Boom!"

With a fierce wave of his hand, Li Qingquan cast a cascade of pure radiance. Under this vast power, every inch below crumbled into dust, the endless Chaos stars burst from the cracks, shrouding the trembling Hun Tuo.

"Ah!" Hun Tuo let out a pitiful scream, frantically circulating the True Yuan within his body, trying to break the seal of pure radiance, to traverse the void and escape. However, no matter how hard he tried, the radiance was as unbreakable as a fortress wall.

Silently, the area of ten miles covered by the pure radiance rapidly disintegrated, not to mention Hun Tuo, even the people on the ground along with the dust vanished in a flash.

A colossal abyss appeared out of nowhere, gaping and eerie as if a Primordial fierce beast, exuding a terrifying pressure!

From all directions—east, west, and north—whether human or fierce beasts, all were startled by this seemingly casual strike that not only obliterated a Saint but even eroded the solid earth into such a massive hole.

Such power, such terrifying might, was simply shocking!

"Devil, devil! He is a devil!"

"Run, we cannot defeat him…"

Someone shouted, and afterward, all of Hun Tuo's subordinates began to flee in disarray. Even those Half-step Saints abandoned the allied forces led by the Golden Sun City Lord and transformed into streaks of light, frantically fleeing into the distance.

In midair, Hun Tuo, covering his bleeding arm, incredulous, snapped back to his senses from Li Qingquan's radiance. Watching the colorful lights across the sky, his heart filled with dread and panic, shouted, "Where do you think you are going? Don't forget, as your King, I promised you all will become Saints! Come back here and protect your King at once. If I die, you all must accompany me in death!"

"Accompany in death? Just because you say so! Now going to protect you, wouldn't that mean dying before you?"

"Who the hell cares about you! I'm about to lose my own life, how could I become any sort of Saint!"

No one paid attention to Hun Tuo, their escape even hastened.

Indeed, Li Qingquan's move was too vicious, a random flick of pure radiance could claim the life of a Saint, completely annihilating his body and spirit! Going up now would be akin to serving himself on a platter. Not running now would be too late.

"Protect you? Now, no one can save you! Accept your death!" Li Qingquan sneered at Hun Tuo and gently waved his hand.

"Boom!"

A creature resembling the Divine Phoenix flew out from Li Qingquan's hand, its body bathed in a dual color of Divine Fire, black and white, like a Divine Bird descending to the mortal world.

As it appeared, a horrifying surge burst forth, the temperature of the void instantly skyrocketed by tens of thousands of degrees, the recently mended space began to collapse extensively once again, spreading explosively, Heaven and Earth Cracking!

"Run!" Hun Tuo's pupils shrank, exerting all his strength, his body enveloped in a dense black aura, transformed into a black lightning, tearing through the sky, and hurried towards the distance.

Li Qingquan's lips curled into a cold sneer, commanding, "Thinking of running? Chase after him, kill him!"

The bird, spewing black and white Divine Flames, soared swiftly, its flames like a vast ocean, robustly chasing after the distant Hun Tuo who had turned into a black dot in the sky.

Along the way, the Divine Flames scorched Heaven and Earth, the Firmament trembled, và the vast lands were shaken incessantly.

Everyone's heart was filled with immense shock; Li Qingquan's strength was beyond their imagination! Such might, it seems, was comparable only to the peak of Saintship.

Feeling the intense heat approaching from behind, Hun Tuo knew even without thinking that the damn mutated Fire Phoenix was clinging tightly behind him.

"Quick, quick, quick!" Hun Tuo clenched his teeth, insanely speeding up. However, no matter how much he accelerated, the scorching heat from behind continuously got closer.

"Screech!"

Finally, with a piercing scream, the Divine Phoenix darted forward, its blazing flames instantly enveloping Hun Tuo.
