Chapter 985: Chapter 627: Today, I’ll Be an Evil Demon!
The Sword Array of Mystic Sword Elder had just taken shape when Lu Qing’s punch hit it squarely.
In an instant, countless Sword Lights flew in all directions.
A large number of Sword Lights were shattered by his fierce punch, creating a breach in the entire Sword Array.
But in a brief moment, more Sword Lights filled the gap, continuously dissipating his punch’s force.
In the end, under the relentless obstruction of the Sword Light, the power of Lu Qing’s punch was gradually worn down and ultimately failed to penetrate the Sword Array’s defense.
Having gained nothing from the punch, Lu Qing became alert, his body flickering as he retreated.
Just as he retreated, a Sword Light slashed the position he had just vacated.
The Sword Light was incomparably sharp, causing even the Space Law to tremble and fluctuate wherever it passed.
If he had not dodged in time and was struck, even with his current Physical Body, he would have suffered severe injuries.
Retreating continuously to a safe distance, Lu Qing watched the treasure sword that suddenly appeared in Mystic Sword Elder’s hand.
The warning in his heart just now had come from this sword, and judging by the dangerous aura emanating from it, it was clearly a Spiritual Artifact.
A Spiritual Treasure Sword in the hands of a Primordial Spirit Realm Sword Cultivator was undoubtedly terrifying in its power.
Like Mystic Sword Elder, who merely stood holding the sword yet could instill fear in all the Primordial Spirits, making them wary.
"Indeed, once a Primordial Spirit Great Power is on guard, relying on a sneak attack with the Power of the Physical Body is difficult to succeed," Lu Qing sighed inwardly.
He had been able to slay the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect earlier chiefly because the other party had underestimated him.
He disguised his aura using the transformation method of a Perfect Golden Core, revealing it only at the last moment.
Thus, the Supreme Elder of Lanhai Sect, caught off guard and overconfident, opted to fight him with the Physical Body despite being a Magic Cultivator.
Though the Primordial Spirit Realm’s Physical Body is powerful, how can it compare to Lu Qing’s Heavenly Witch Body?
Cunningly catching him off guard, the Supreme Elder of Lanhai Sect was unable to react and was punched in the head.
A Primordial Spirit Realm cultivation was almost unused before he regretfully perished.
But this method can only be used once.
With precautions in place, easily slaying Mystic Sword Elder like that again was already impossible for Lu Qing.
A Primordial Spirit Realm expert remains a Primordial Spirit Realm; if it were that easy to slay, they wouldn’t hold such esteemed positions in the Cultivation World.
On the other side, seeing his hastily arranged Sword Array block Lu Qing, Mystic Sword Elder felt relief inside.
Smiling slightly, he said: "So that’s it, you’re just relying on your robust Physical Body to catch Mr. Qiu off guard. It’s a pity that Mr. Qiu was momentarily careless, allowing you to successfully ambush him, leading to his death and the end of his illustrious reputation.
Youngster, the reason your Physical Body is so strong should be due to a fortuitous encounter in the secret realm, right?"
The Primordial Spirit Great Powers around had a slight change in complexion, all staring at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing’s Physical Body was astonishingly strong, beyond logic, and couldn’t be achieved solely through cultivation.
The only explanation was that Lu Qing obtained unimaginable fortune in the secret realm.
Otherwise, they couldn’t understand why Lu Qing possessed a terrifying Physical Body far exceeding a typical Primordial Spirit Realm.
As such, the Primordial Spirit Great Powers’ eyes on Lu Qing turned somewhat heated.
What kind of fortune would allow a Golden Core Realm cultivator to possess a Physical Body stronger than a Primordial Spirit Realm?
If they could control this fortune, wouldn’t it allow them to take a leap forward, further breaking through in their Cultivation Realm?
"So what if it is."
Lu Qing naturally sensed the covetous intent in the eyes of the surrounding Primordial Spirits.
But he didn’t care, instead looking at Mystic Sword Elder with a half-smile: "Could it be that you old folks want to spout nonsense about having me hand over the fortune?"
"Ignorant brat, oblivious to the heights of the heavens, arrogant and venomous with a bit of fortune.
Forget it, I was considering your difficult cultivation, thinking if you’d return to the righteous path, you might one day become a mainstay of the Human Race.
Now it seems, you’ve fallen into the Demon Path, deeply rooted evil, beyond redemption.
This secret realm fortune in your hands will only bring great disaster to the Human Race in the future.
In that case, let me eradicate the demon and prevent you from further harming the world."
As Mystic Sword Elder’s righteous words rang out, his aura grew overwhelmingly terrifying.
Countless Sword Lights manifested around him, cutting everything.
A streak of Sword Light flashed from the sword in his hand.
The contained Sword Intent was so intense that even the Golden Core Realm watching felt their eyes sting, their Divine Soul about to shatter.
"Is this the true power of a Primordial Spirit Great Power?"
The surrounding Golden Core Realms, overwhelmed with fear, all displayed reverence.
"Is Mystic Sword going all out?"
The surrounding Primordial Spirits, realizing the situation, pulled back with their respective disciples.
Mystic Sword’s cultivation was not weak; among all Primordial Spirits here, he ranked in the top ten in terms of realm.
But Sword Cultivators primarily focus on killing, and their combat power is astounding. In terms of actual strength, he could rank in the top five.
Only a few from the Overlord Clan’s Ba Chunqiu, Daoxu Temple, and Biluo Palace could rival him.
Seeing him get serious, while the Primordial Spirits were unafraid, their disciples might not withstand the Sword Intent aura from him.
A careless mistake could lead to severe Divine Soul injuries, damaging the Dao Heart.
With the strong retreating, the vast sky was left with only Lu Qing and Mystic Sword Elder.
Yet the Primordial Spirit Great Powers still subtly occupied the surrounding positions, constantly locking their Will on Lu Qing, preventing him from suddenly escaping.
The pride of the Primordial Spirit Great Powers naturally disdained to join forces against a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
Besides, they’d already seen through Lu Qing’s tricks, knowing he was merely full of brute strength, his realm still only a Golden Core Realm.
To deal with such an opponent didn’t warrant them joining forces.
"Fallen into the Demon Path, huh?"
Feeling Mystic Sword Elder’s killing intent and the surrounding Primordial Spirit Great Powers’ oppressive presence, Lu Qing mumbled softly.
In the next moment, a somewhat wild smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Since you keep calling me an evil demon, today I might as well act like one!"
Saying so, the Magic Power Golden Core within Lu Qing began to rapidly dissipate, continuously merging into his Physical Body.
How vast is the Mana contained in a Perfect Golden Core of the Seventh Transition realm?
To put it bluntly, even a flawless Innate Top-grade Golden Core’s Ninth Transition Perfection has far less Mana than Lu Qing now.
Such abundant Mana, when integrated into the Physical Body, instantly broke the limits of Lu Qing’s Physical Body, beginning to soar upward at great speed.
