This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

“He recovered again!?”

Everyone witnessing the event fell into despair upon seeing how that monster before their eyes could still recover his power even after fighting so long. He was nothing short of being utterly insane.

The way everyone around saw it, there was no doubt that this man was a literal monster, just like Lu Xuan was.

“Such recovery would definitely come with a steep price though. That guy is indeed a sacred one without a doubt, being able to overwhelm that monster to such an extent. Feng Qingming had been around for around 10,000 years, while that sacred one hadn’t even lived a fraction of those years. Boy, he truly is something for even being able to fight so long!”

Lu Xuan’s robe billowed loudly in the wind as he stood in the air and looked at Feng Qingming, whose powers have almost returned to their peak.

Whether he liked it or not, Lu Xuan had to admit that Feng Qingming was probably the most powerful person he had fought since his reincarnation.

Anyone else would have been pummeled to death.

Despite having spent thousands of years doing nothing but lurking about, Feng Qingming still managed to live for so long. He hadn’t been able to do without some tricks up his sleeves.

It was rather unfortunate for him to have run into Lu Xuan.

Feng Qingming bust out laughing as he said, “Can you feel it now? This is my true power! Be proud of yourself for being able to force me to get this far. None of the sacred ones before you have been able to get so far. Now, I shall become a true sacred one after killing you and make my way to higher levels by then!”

“Higher levels?” Lu Xuan looked at Feng Qingming, who was looking rather frenzied at the moment, and smirked. “You seriously think that the reason why you aren’t able to get to higher levels is that you’re of incomplete sacred bloodline? Gosh, that’s stupid!”

Lu Xuan knew where Feng Qingming’s problem lied, but he didn’t see the need nor the duty to say anything further.

“Now, be proud of yourself for being able to die fighting someone this powerful.”

Feng Qingming added.

“I didn’t plan on using this, but given how far this battle has come, it’s time for you to know your place!”

Lu Xuan glittered like stars and countless mid-tier spirit stones in the Tianhai Secret Realm burned, siphoning all that power through his jade sword and thrusting him into another realm.

He assumed his pseudo-ascended state again.

Lu Xuan’s aura continued to climb, becoming far more powerful than he had been before. At that moment, he looked like some kind of living god.

“What? How is this possible…” Feng Qingming had initially thought that he had a complete advantage over Lu Xuan. What was happening right there astounded him, as that was something that was far from what he had expected to happen.

It felt like how he was fighting the sacred ancestor all those years ago.

I can’t let him get more powerful!

Feng Qingming had no idea how Lu Xuan managed to survive this long, but he did know one thing: he couldn’t afford to have Lu Xuan’s power continue climbing.

Boom!

Feng Qingming’s aura burst as he made his move, charging at Lu Xuan like a meteor. He believed that his physical resilience was more than enough to get the job done.

Lu Xuan continued looking unfazed as he pointed with a finger. A terrifying power burst from the finger and actually managed to block Feng Qingming’s charge.

What happened was harrowing.

Boom!

Another burst of energy was sensed being unleashed. Feng Qingming was sent flying right away like a cannonball after he seemed to be hit by some extremely powerful force.

Pfftt!

Feng Qingming crashed to the ground right away, leaving a huge crater where he crashed. The ground cracked into thousands of pieces with him at the very center of the crater.

Arrrgghhhh!

As Feng Qingming then shouted in rage, blood-red energy burst throughout his being. He seemed to have turned into a blood-colored beast, making him even more powerful than he was before.

That was his true form. Having trained in the secret arts of the Blood Devil for thousands of years, he was no longer actually human. He had only been maintaining a human form throughout all those years.

He was no longer even sure why he had been hunting down the sacred ones throughout the ages.

It wasn’t clear whether he had been doing so to prolong his life and completely replace that average bloodline of his, or to suppress that raging bloodline of the Blood Devil in his body by using the blood of the sacred ones.

As he shot to the air, his terrifying aura formed a raging storm that manifested in the form of a massive red-blood cloud.

Just as he was about to get up, a golden dragon claw slammed hard into his blood-red form.

Boom!

He was clapped down hard and plunged further into that crater he was still in. That hit had almost disintegrated him altogether, allowing blood to spray all over the place.

“What the hell…” Everyone around them watched as they gasped. They had never been so shocked even after the very extended battle that Lu Xuan and Feng Qingming fought before.

They saw how Feng Qingming, who had just burst with greater powers, got slapped to the ground with a single smack. They all felt like their jaws had dropped to the ground.

Having entered a complete pseudo-ascended state, he looked like he would’ve been able to ascend to a higher plane of existence right there and then.

Lu Xuan appeared completely deadpan still, yet that single attack with the claw had expended a million mid-tier spirit stones.

All of those stones were used up for only a single move.

One could tell just how frightening the drain of that move was.

Then again, it was only natural for the move to come with such a steep price. He had gotten to a level surpassing his own and obtaining power that he shouldn’t be having.

Any attack from him would’ve packed unimaginable levels of power.

At first, Lu Xuan had thought that his current levels of power would have enabled him to kill Feng Qingming. Now that things had gone this way, he knew he had to make use of the White Sun Soaring Sutra.

He then made his way to Feng Qingming with a sword in his hand, intending to end the fight as quickly as he could.

Swoop!

A blast of sword aura burst from his weapon, tearing space right away and hitting Feng Qingming as he just rose from that crater yet again.

Pfftt!

Feng Qingming shrieked as his bloody arm was cut down and sent flying away.

He then leaped into the air and burst in a beam of bloodied light, escaping far away.

The Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell appeared above Lu Xuan’s head and spun, enabling him to teleport right away and appearing right before Feng Qingming, who had flown several kilometers away by then.

Pfftt!

Another blast of sword aura was seen immediately bisecting Feng Qingming’s body.

The Geng Metal Sword was of unparalleled sharpness, cleaving right through Feng Qingming’s inner armor and into his flesh. Blood sprayed away as the two halves of his body hit the ground.

Feng Qingming seemed to still be somewhat conscious after that, mumbling, “This isn’t fair… How did I lose to you!?”

A blast of sword aura hit him as soon as he finished speaking, punching through his head and blowing it up.

Feng Qingming was killed right away.
