Chapter 1039: The Skull Bloodline
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Seeing his palm cut off by Qingfeng Li, the Senior Elder opened his mouth to scream but nothing came out, as Qingfeng had quickly stabbed a big hole in his throat.
Gurgle…
Large amounts of blood gushed from the hole in the Senior Elder's throat.
He held onto his neck and dropped onto the ground, twitching several times and dying.
The Senior Elder of the Wicked Sky Sect had died.
The surrounding people gaped at the sight, their eyes full of astonishment.
How could the notorious Senior Elder of the Wicked Sky Sect be killed by Qingfeng so quickly? Qingfeng Li's combat strength was just too powerful!
"Miss Qin, Brother Li's strength has grown again. Even I am not his match now," Flower Fairy said with a charming smile.
Xianzhi Qin nodded and said, "Brother Qingfeng is a genius. I am no match for him either."
It must be noted that both Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin were not ordinary people because they had mysterious powers sealed in them. But even they admitted Qingfeng Li was stronger than them.
"Ming Xie, your Senior Elder is dead and now it's your turn," Qingfeng Li walked toward Ming Xie, strong killing intent radiating off his entire body.
Ming Xie's expression changed. He was terrified by the fact that Qingfeng Li killed Li Xie.
Ming Xie knew he had to play all his cards now because the young man before him was powerful in both his spiritual energy strength and sword techniques.
"Skull Bloodline," Ming Xie chanted a heretical passage which activated the skull bloodline in his body. It was a powerful bloodline that originated from the ancient Skull God.
According to legends, the Skull God was a white skull which absorbed the evil presence in nature and developed into a strong spirit with its own soul and awareness
After activating the skull bloodline, Ming Xie was engulfed in a strong evil presence and his strength grew to the half-step into the Heavenly Spirit Realm, much more powerful than Qingfeng Li.
He raised his right hand and the evil energy in his body turned it into a huge palm 80 meters long. The huge palm slammed toward Qingfeng Li viciously.
Sensing the strong evil energy emitting from the skull bloodline, Qingfeng Li's expression turned grim.
At this moment Ming Xie was so powerful that his presence alone was terrifying.
Qingfeng Li knew he couldn't fight his rival with only his physical strength since Ming Xie, with his activated skull bloodline, had reached a half-step into the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
"Devourer Bloodline," Qingfeng Li murmured and activated his own bloodline.
His eyes and body turned bloody red while a black vortex appeared above him.
The vortex looked like a black hole that was rotating continuously, as if it was trying to absorb everything inside.
Boom!
The black vortex issued a tremendous tearing force and devoured the skull bloodline, turning it into its own energy.
After devouring the skull bloodline, Qingfeng Li's vital essence grew sharply, elevating him directly from the middle stage up to the pinnacle stage of the Earthly Spirit Realm, just one step away from the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
To reach the Heavenly Spirit Realm, it was not enough for one to just swallow energy; one needed to comprehend insights on their cultivation path.
But Qingfeng Li was quite pleased with his elevation into the pinnacle stage of the Earthly Spirit Realm thanks to the skull bloodline he swallowed.
Bloodline strength and life essence were closely connected so the increase of Qingfeng Li's strength meant the decline of Ming Xie's.
Pu-Chi!
Ming Xie spat out a mouthful of blood. Pale-faced, he became so weak that he stumbled.
With the loss of bloodline power, Ming Xie lost his life essence and thus half of his strength.
Puchi!
Executing Dragon Steps, Qingfeng Li moved swiftly to the side of Ming Xie and cut off his head with the Red Fiery Sword.
Ming Xie, the Sect Master of the Wicked Sky Sect, had died.
At this sight, the surrounding people were stunned with disbelief.
They couldn't believe their eyes because Ming Xie was one of the top ten super fighters among the Earthly Spirit Realm self-cultivators and now he had been killed by Qingfeng Li with one sword strike.
"Qingfeng Li is so powerful that he killed Ming Xie with just one sword strike!"
"Yeah. And more importantly Qingfeng Li is only in his twenties. He has a bright future before him."
"Yeah, he is such a demon."
The surrounding people talked among themselves, amazement in their eyes.
Wuya Hei, the leader of the Black Blade Sect, and Shan Pan, the leader of the Stone Sect, were also surprised since they knew the caliber of Ming Xie's strength.
But they were not afraid of Qingfeng Li since they were both in the early stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, a major realm higher than him.
"Shan Pan, since there is only one Heavenly spirit peach, it belongs to whoever can take it," Wuya Hei said before dashing toward the peach.
Though burdened with a big millstone on his back, Shan Pan swiftly followed him and was upon the Heavenly spirit peach instantly. He looked at Wuya Hei coldly.
Wuya Hei drew out his long blade and hacked at Shan Pan, the obstacle he had to remove before getting the Heavenly spirit peach.
The name of the long blade in Wuya Hei's hand was the Sky Ruins Blade. It was a low tier heaven-grade spiritual device containing a powerful destructive force.
The Sky Ruins Blade exploded the air into several black cracks.
Shan Pan crashed forward his huge millstone which exploded a big hole in the air and collided with the Sky Ruins Blade with a huge booming sound.
Giant energy waves spread outward, breaking the trees on the Sky Breaking Cliff. However, the black meteorite rocks on the cliff were intact, demonstrating their hard texture.
Shan Pan's huge millstone was also a low tier heavenly spiritual device made of meteorite. With comparable spiritual devices, neither of them could gain the upper hand.
"Shan Pan, are you sure you want to fight me?" Wuya Hei said with a cold smile.
Shan Pan curled his lips and said lightly, "The Heavenly spirit peach can enhance the power for Heavenly Spirit Realm masters and it's natural I want it."
Without further arguments, Wuya Hei and Shan Pan resumed their fight. The battle was so fierce that the violent energy spread outward, darkening the sky.
"These two are much stronger than Ming Xie," Watching the battle between Wuya Hei and Shan Pan, Qingfeng Li frowned and his face turned grim.
