Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 574 - 182: A Seed of Thought in the Yin Yang Soil, An Unexpected Conclusion

Clang!

The clash of divine soldiers echoed with the sharp cry of a dragon and phoenix struggling.

Qing Hancheng used some secret skill, not only moving here quickly but also concealing his form.

Unfortunately, Li Yuan’s perception had reached the level of "as long as you’re alive, I can sense where you are."

This attack was an "ordinary attack."

Qing Hancheng was directly struck and flew, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, then moved again, vanishing somewhere unknown.

Li Yuan stood firm, slightly perceiving, his form floated once more.

Boom!

Qing Hancheng was struck out again.

This time, Li Yuan didn’t let him escape.

The sword moved like lightning, transforming into afterimages in mid-air.

Each strike contained profound Sea Calm Blade power.

Born from the Frenzied Ancestral Talisman and drawn into the blade with domain power, this force could be described as boundlessly terrifying.

Every time Qing Hancheng engaged, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

This is because the Withered and Flourishing Sword is a legacy of the Divine Wood Hall; otherwise, it would have shattered several times.

Finally, Qing Hancheng seized an opportunity, suddenly retreating, spreading open his hands, the Blood Domain unfolded, and the Blood Sword shot forth.

Fire...

Poison...

Garden...

All unfolded in an instant.

This time, however, the expansion was much smaller, condensed only within the Blood Sword formed by his Shadow Blood.

Clearly, in the duel with Li Yuan, he was also growing rapidly.

Even a second felt like days and nights to others.

At this moment, Qing Hancheng successfully delivered this unprecedented strike,

The joy from within, overflowing with happiness.

Seeing him strike, Li Yuan no longer directly confronted this peculiar Blood Sword; instead, his form drifted in mid-air, and sword qi, in eighty-one instants, merged into one blade, striking back.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The Blood Sword transmitted a shock.

Inside, layers shattered.

But this "four-in-one including mental attack" sword only shattered the "poison," "garden," and "Shadow Blood," while the "fire" grazed Li Yuan’s blade, directly striking him.

An uncontrollable emotion surged from Li Yuan’s heart, accompanied by rolling fear and a sense of chaos, making him feel as if he was being bound.

Though this feeling was rapidly annihilated by his fire, he still "stilled" for a moment.

In that instant, Qing Hancheng swooped down beside Li Yuan, not attacking directly like typical social world warriors but using this move to attack while close to Li Yuan.

Garden, reborn!

Unlike before, this time...Li Yuan stood at the very center of the garden.

The garden initially came head-on, now it was from all directions.

Qing Hancheng knew that ordinary attacks would never defeat the enemy before him.

And Li Yuan understood that while Qing Hancheng couldn’t withstand his strikes, spitting a few mouths of blood wasn’t a fatal issue for Qing Hancheng.

Both sides knew the other was growing rapidly.

Qing Hancheng held his sword, standing before Li Yuan.

Yet he did not strike because doing so would disrupt his attack and create openings.

He only drove the garden, poison, fire, blood with all his might...

Making the fourfold domain envelope Li Yuan tightly like petals, closing layer by layer.

Occasionally, a blinding scarlet burst forth, burning everything around it.

But it could only destroy a part.

But as soon as a part was burned, Qing Hancheng would fully compensate.

In intervals, another surging Fire Domain erupted from the garden’s depths, wrapped by the fourfold domains, perhaps destroying a part, but only a part.

Qing Hancheng continued to repair.

His face turned red, clearly, such instant compensation was a huge drain on him.

He couldn’t sustain it for long.

But in pouring all efforts into this process, he was rapidly pondering, rapidly advancing.

Every instant, every second, he was improving.

An unprecedented sensation of pleasure arose from his heart.

This pleasure, one he hadn’t experienced in his hundreds of years of life.

...

This pleasure likewise existed for Li Yuan.

In this deadly battle, he had already felt his shortcomings and understood the power of the opponent.

The "garden" was not something Qing Hancheng used alone, but rather a joint effort with the intent from the Withered and Flourishing Sword, based on Qing Hancheng’s robust Shadow Blood.

Yin and Yang giving birth, creating matter.

The "Blood Domain" is the innate power of the Fourth Grade.

And "fire" was the mental attack power formed jointly by the Withering and Flourishing Skill and the Withered and Flourishing Sword, an enhancement of "Shocking Eyes."

His "Nine-Nine Returning to One Blade," "Sea Calm Blade" both stemmed from the power of the Ancestral Talisman and Shadow Blood.

Dragon Breath, a power born from both the talisman and fire.

Similarly, the talisman is a thought; this thought is strong enough to produce such ultimate skills with fire, just like the garden.

But...

His shortcoming was precisely that his Ancestral Talisman couldn’t merge with fire at the "Fourth Grade level" to create new power to annihilate the garden.

However, if he wanted to break through, he could.

He just had to let the flame devour him, grow larger, then leap out of the garden and use a massive-scale "Dragon Breath."

This usage was the manifestation of his power "69496."

Under such power, Qing Hancheng would be defeated.

Even if not defeated, he would at least be unable to trouble him any longer.

But such violent resolution was meaningless to him.

Thus, Li Yuan began to ponder.

He no longer used Dragon Breath, but instead utilized the Fire Domain, spreading it out circle by circle.

Each expansion was like waves crashing, extinguishing quickly upon hitting the dike.
