The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 266 - 112: Seeking Zhunti to Collect Interest

"Boom!"

Just at this moment, the lush bamboo forest suddenly began to move, transforming into a fierce and terrifying giant dragon. This was a green dragon, and moreover, it was a peerless True Dragon! It crazily swung its tens of thousands of feet long body, as the rolling Buddha Light was infused into the True Dragon’s body by Zhunti.

At this moment, all of the Taiyin Qi, Laws, and Vitality Power on the Taiyin Star boiled up, drawn by Zhunti and resonating with it. Next, one saw the vast Buddha Golden Body behind Zhunti, with a casual swipe, a tapestry of golden patterns was formed, all of which were embedded into the front of the giant dragon’s body, inscribing Laws.

"Roar!" The green True Dragon suddenly howled towards the sky, its sharp Dragon Claws ferociously tearing at the branches of the Moon Laurel Tree, its fierce eyes spewing a bloodthirsty radiance.

Suddenly, Li Jian’s face flushed red within the core of the Earth, as a trickle of silvery-white blood escaped the corner of his mouth.

Li Qingming’s expression changed, saying, "Little guy, retract your branches quickly! Even with your exceptional talent, you are no match for Zhunti!"

Upon hearing this, the Moon Laurel frowned slightly, and then waved its hand. Suddenly, numerous cracks began to repair automatically, countless branches withdrew from the crevices, merging rapidly like lightning into the silvery-white Moon Laurel Tree.

Li Qingming grabbed the Daoist Body of the Moon Laurel Tree and vanished from this mysterious core of the Earth with a leap.

The Si Snake that was secretly observing Zhunti from a dark corner, upon realizing that the abundant Taiyin Qi across the stars had suddenly disappeared, thought Zhunti had achieved victory. Just as it was about to take its turn, Li Qingming, holding the Moon Laurel Tree, appeared beside it out of nowhere.

"Si Snake, have a chat with this little guy. I’m going to collect some interest!" Li Qingming smiled, placing the Moon Laurel on the ground.

"Master Uncle, allow your nephew to see your ’Six Roots Pure Bamboo’!" Li Qingming laughed heartily, his voice filled with boundless mockery. Simultaneously, his hand flashed with light, and the crystalline Qiankun Ruler appeared out of thin air, thrown towards the Buddha Golden Body.

"Li Qingming!" Zhunti, nearly gnashing his teeth, squeezed out these three words, his Seal Technique moving in his hands. The emerald green True Dragon swung its massive tail, creating a swath of bamboo forest once again in the sky to block the path of the Qiankun Ruler.

Li Qingming smiled slightly and thought, "To show their insufficient skills in front of an expert! To dare play with a bamboo forest in front of me!"

"Control! Ten Thousand Bamboo Disappear!" Li Qingming’s innate ability derived from Bitter Bamboo instantly swept across. The bamboo forest, as if meeting its natural predator, disappeared into nothingness, ignoring Zhunti’s control – even the emerald green True Dragon dissipated into the void.

With the protection of the bamboo forest gone, Zhunti was completely exposed to the assault of the Qiankun Ruler. If this blow landed, even with Zhunti’s body of a Saint, he would be left with no choice but to suffer a severe injury.

Zhunti furrowed his brow, feeling the surging Chaos Qi hovering above him. Suddenly, with a single finger point, a tree branch abruptly appeared, positioned in front of the Golden Body. This ordinary-looking branch, devoid of any peculiarities, possessed a strange power that deflected the aggressive Qiankun Ruler.

"Master Uncle, it’s been several Primordial Meetings since we last met, and your Cultivation has indeed advanced!" Li Qingming retrieved the Qiankun Ruler, tapping it lightly in his palm, teasingly said.

Zhunti’s eyes coldly stared at Li Qingming, and said in a chilling tone, "I wondered who dared to spoil my plans - it turns out to be you again, Li Qingming? Last time I didn’t obliterate you completely, this time I’ll see where you can escape to?"

Li Qingming, not caring in the slightest that he had shifted the blame onto the Moon Laurel Tree, laughed heartily, "Zhunti, I respect you as an elder hence I address you as Master Uncle! Just with your current conduct on the Primordial Continent, even calling you Fellow Daoist is elevating you! This time, I want to see how you plan to obliterate me here!"

With that, he stretched out one hand, the black glint of the God Slaying Spear appeared in his hand, exuding a fierce aura.

"The God Slaying Spear?" Zhunti’s gaze fell on the God Slaying Spear in Li Qingming’s hand, and his expression became grave. The Seven Treasures Miao Tree in front of him suddenly shone with gold, silver, and colored glaze among seven colors of precious light, forming a rainbow, attacking Li Qingming first.

Li Qingming’s God Slaying Spear emitted a lump of black Qi, clashing with the rainbow, seemingly at a stalemate. At this moment, Zhunti Daoist suddenly looked up. An arc-shaped golden Buddha Seal Technique appeared out of nowhere, heading straight for the slightly hazy Guanghan Palace not far away.

"Boom!" The already array-laden Guanghan Palace didn’t even shake, effortlessly dissipating the palm print into nothingness.

Seeing Zhunti Daoist suddenly attack Guanghan Palace, Li Qingming cursed under his breath for the cowardice but didn’t concern himself with the palm print’s attack. Instead, he wielded the spear like lightning to scatter the rainbow, aiming a direct strike at Zhunti.

But who would’ve known that the rainbow constantly followed like a shadow, using a bizarre power to continue to draw out and finally dissipate the black Qi.

A look of surprise flashed in Li Qingming’s eyes. The Yuqing True Essence gradually increased, and the Taiyin Qi filled with stars was caused to flee because of this power. The whole of the Taiyin Star seemed to start shaking violently.

"The blossoms reveal me, and I see Bodhi! The Buddha Country in the palm!" Zhunti released the Seven Treasures Miao Tree. Its rainbow brilliance flourished, tinting everything it touched, be it stars or the void, into the colors of the rainbow.

Within this rainbow realm, Li Qingming felt his body lurch, as if it had suddenly become much heavier. To make any movement, he needed several times the usual strength. Zhunti, on the other hand, moved with light and agile body within this world. The meteorites and stars painted in the colors of the rainbow by the Seven Treasures Miao Tree were wielded as weapons by Zhunti, raining down upon Li Qingming.

"Domain?" Li Qingming chuckled darkly. The God Slaying Spear in his hands pierced through heaven and earth. The void trembled, turning those meteorites and stars into dust.

A look of utter shock filled Zhunti’s face. He hadn’t expected that within his own realm, Li Qingming would still possess such tremendous power, able to shatter those meteorites, harder than refined iron, from Outer Heaven.

"This child really is our Western retribution, he must not be left alive!" Hatred filled Zhunti’s eyes, lethal and boundless. Behind him, his vast Buddha Golden Body suddenly revealed twenty-four heads and eighteen arms, armed with Yingluo, umbrella, Flower Chain, Fish Intestine, Golden Bow, Silver Spear, the Blessing Divine Mallet, Treasure file, Golden Vase - a formidable sight.

Zhunti withdrew, his figure gradually merging with the Golden Body. He swung the Seven Treasures Miao Tree repeatedly, the rainbow light, now boosted by the power of the Golden Body, surged ferociously towards the Buddha Country. Without Zhunti’s Buddha Power to sustain it, the Buddha Country was already on the verge of collapse. Struck so suddenly by this force, the Buddha Country expanded to a breaking point and exploded with a roaring collapse!

"Hahaha, Li Qingming! No matter how arrogant you are, you still died by Buddha’s hand! Hahaha..." Zhunti let out a wild laugh, seeming certain that Li Qingming had met his demise.

"Roar!" Just then, an unexpected development arose! A massive roar thundered from the endless void. The roar, like a tsunami overpowering mountains, stirred up endless tidal waves of Chaos Qi in the void, causing constant tremors.

The silhouette of a Swallowing Sky Bear ambled out from the annihilated void. Beneath this phantom, Li Qingming stood, the Qiankun Map above his head, God Slaying Spear in hand, appearing utterly at ease with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"Master Uncle, have you had your fun?" Li Qingming flicked the tip of his spear, retracting the bear’s phantom, and coldly addressed Zhunti, "Since Master Uncle is reluctant to speak, then don’t blame your nephew for being impolite!"

As soon as Li Qingming finished speaking, his God Slaying Spear flashed brilliantly. Dark leaden clouds gathered in the pitch-black void. The sky grew entirely somber, and a jet-black spear tip, fearsome and boundless like the vast sea, pierced straight at Zhunti through the void.

Furious, Zhunti glared. A massive Purple Golden Bowl appeared before him, emanating waves of bizarre and extreme Mana fluctuations.

"Break!" Li Qingming’s eyes burst open, the lightning mark on his brow flashing fleetingly. Wherever the dark spear tip passed, it rent the heavens and shattered the earth, obliterating everything. With a single thrust, mountains and rivers shook, nothing could withstand it, and it pierced through all material substances with its unrivaled edge.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere, and the clear, metallic sound of clash jolted the ears. A vast spatial rift appeared at the site of the Spiritual Treasures’ collision! Gigantic black thunderbolts fell from the sky, furiously striking the void within tens of thousands of miles. The Purple Golden Bowl too was within the primary impact zone.

"Boom!" Heavenly Thunder rumbled, and streaks of lightning flashed, dazzling white light illuminating the entire Outer Heaven void, even making the nearby fiery Sun darken.

Massive bolts of lightning ripped through the void, not only completely shattering the space around the spatial rift, but also covered the Purple Golden Bowl in fine cracks, darkening the space around it. The collision of the two Spiritual Treasures left the space utterly fragmented.

"Puh!" Zhunti violently spewed out a mouthful of dark red blood, his eyes venomous yet filled with shock: "Since when did you break through the sub-saint level to achieve the Saint’s position?"

Li Qingming did not bother explaining, merely saying, "Saint? Master Uncle flatters me, I am no Saint."

"You lie!" Zhunti, looking mad, wiped the blood from his mouth. The Seven Treasures Miao Tree flashed sharply, furiously sweeping towards Li Qingming.

Li Qingming laughed lightly. He neatly put away the Qiankun Map, brandishing the God Slaying Spear, entering battle with Zhunti.

"Clang! Clang!"

The God Slaying Spear, originally a Demon Ancestor’s supreme treasure with yin attributes, found its perfect match in the chilly environment of the Taiyin Star.

Li Qingming swung his spear, using it like a Sky-opening Big Stick to cleave the void, and the dreadful yin energy in the spear mingled with the Taiyin Qi of the Taiyin Star, instantly freezing thirty thousand miles. A vast, white, snowy world appeared suddenly, freezing everything solid. This was the ultimate cold, reducing the surface of the Taiyin Star to shattered rubble.

The Buddhist Sect’s Mana inclined towards vigorous Yang, contradicting the Taiyin Power of the Taiyin Star. But Li Qingming was, after all, fighting on his home ground, plus his Cultivation was far superior to Zhunti’s. He had merely suppressed his Cultivation to equal Zhunti’s just to pass the time.

Thus, before long, Zhunti began to show signs of defeat. His Mana grew erratic, seemingly on the verge of collapse! (To be continued.
