At the sight of his cracked and disfigured Black Coffin, the Underworld Monarch felt a sharp pain in his heart. He immediately took it back, hiding it away into his body. He then glared at Qingfeng Li with chilling eyes.
“Bastard! You damn freak! How could you have thunder powers? How is this possible? Even the Crimson Fire Monarch can’t control the thunder!”
The Underworld Monarch stared at Qingfeng Li. Although his gaze was murderous, it was also laced with confusion.
Qingfeng Li said in disdain, “Just because the Planet Ruler can’t control thunder, doesn’t mean I can’t. Today is the day you die!”
Qingfeng Li’s voice was deadly as could be. He couldn’t wait to murder the Underworld Monarch.
Taking control of the thunder pearl once again, Qingfeng Li shot out a thousand lightning bolts, each rushing towards the Underworld Monarch with fury.
The Underworld Monarch’s gaze heavied. Although he was now as strong as a half-step saint master, more powerful than Qingfeng Li, he knew that he was still a Corpse Emperor. Long-term living in the Underworld Necropolis meant that his body was covered by corpse energy and in turn, thunder and lightning was his worst enemy. Once struck, even he would suffer significant injuries.
The emperor’s eyes flashed coldly as he took out a stick of incense.
The stick of incense was more than 10cm long, but it was circled by an endless stream of black fog, reminiscent of phantoms from hell, so frightening that it could almost steal away souls just from a single sight of it.
Qingfeng Li couldn’t look at it any longer. He could feel that it was a powerful dharma treasure of reaching at least saint levels.
Qingfeng Li had guessed correctly. Its name was the Undead Sacred Incense, left behind by an undead saint 100,000 years ago.
The Underworld Monarch opened his mouth and recited a chant from the Ancient Era of the Universe. Qingfeng Li had previously learned the language, so he was able to recognize it.
As for the chant’s content, however, Qingfeng Li couldn’t decipher its meaning. Basically, the chant was obscure and difficult to understand. Plus, it was laced with a chilling aura.
As the Underworld Monarch read out the chant, he took out many black skull patterns, instilling them into the Undead Sacred Incense, eliciting a bone-chilling energy from the weapon.
The frosty energy spread across the atmosphere, freezing the skies and earth. From it, emerged a block of black ice. With unrivaled power, the black ice arrived at mid-air in the blink of an eye.
The black congealed hundreds of lightning bolts from Qingfeng Li and remained in a stalemate with the rest.
Qingfeng was stunned by the sight, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This was the first time he had shown such an expression. He wasn’t even this surprised during his meeting with the Yin-Yang Saint. The current sight in front of him, however, had surpassed his wildest imaginations.
The black ice had actually frozen his lightning attack. He had never seen or heard of such a thing. It was as if he had witnessed something from the legends.
Not only was Qingfeng Li surprised, but Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, and the others were also completely stunned as well.
They had previously thought that Qingfeng Li’s Thunder Pearl was enough to defeat the Underworld Monarch. Now, defeating the Underworld Monarch seemed like an impossible feat.
The Underworld Monarch’s Undead Sacred Incense was too powerful, with its black ice containing an unexpected holy aura. It was definitely a saint level Dharma treasure as it was able to freeze lightning instantaneously.
Of course, the main reason was because Qingfeng Li’s thunder powers were too weak. It was, at most, a middle-grade attack. If it had been improved to a saint level, it would’ve destroyed the black ice.
The Underworld Monarch laughed loudly, saying coldly, “Qingfeng Li, stop being so arrogant. My Undead Sacred Incense is a saint level dharma treasure. It is extremely powerful. I wouldn’t even use it under normal conditions. Now that you’ve seen it, today will be your demise.”
The Underworld Monarch froze the lightning in the sky. He then waved out his palm, striking heavily onto Qingfeng Li.
Startled, Qingfeng Li immediately unleashed his Mortal Purgatory Body, forming it into a black fist. Carrying a golden light, the black fist collided with that of the enemy’s, sounding out a deafening blow.
Qingfeng Li’s body was sent flying in the next second, leaving him bloodied up and pale.
Qingfeng Li’s gaze froze as he mumbled, “Is this the power of a Near-Saint master? It’s too powerful for my Mortal Purgatory Body. Must I unleash the powers of the Golden Flames?”
Furrowing his brows, Qingfeng Li thought hard for a moment, ultimately deciding against the use of its powers.
Because he knew, that he had to save it for the Crimson Fire Monarch. He would exhaust its powers every time he’d used it. Qingfeng Li decided to go with the Conqueror’s Finger, a technique taught to him by his father, also immensely powerful.
One Finger Shatters the World!
Qingfeng Li unleashed the Conqueror’s Finger’s first technique, extending his right index finger, pointing it forward. A ray of green light shot out from his finger, splitting open the air, rushing towards the Underworld Monarch fiercely.
The Underworld Monarch’s eyes raged with fury as he also waved out his finger, shooting out a ray of black light, hitting it against Qingfeng Li’s green one.
The two rays of light collided in mid-air, sounding a sky-shattering blow, instantly creating a massive hole in the atmosphere, then disappearing just as fast.
The Underworld Monarch raised his eyebrows as he said, “I didn’t expect your techniques to be at an immortal level finger technique. There is no other explanation for your ability to defend against my attacks.”
The Underworld Monarch gazed at Qingfeng Li with hunger in his eyes. He could sense that the young man had in his possession endless treasures. Even the Sky-breaking Halberd in his hand was a saint level dharma treasure once used by the Yin-Yang Saint. Plus, the techniques he had practiced were of the immortal level kind, even more powerful than that of the Underworld Monarch’s.
However, the Underworld Monarch also sensed that Qingfeng Li hadn’t yet completed his practices. He had limited genuine energy which in turn, limited his abilities.
“I will show you just how powerful my Yin Dark Finger truly is!” The Underworld Monarch said coldly.
He began to channel his corpse energy, focusing it on his right index finger. He pointed his finger forward and shot out a ray of black light.
Transformed from undead corpse energy, the black light instantly arrived before Qingfeng Li with an incredibly frightening might.
With a shift of expression, Qingfeng Li’s unleashed his Conqueror’s Finger once more, shooting out a ray of green light. The green light collided with the black light but this time, it failed.
