The Life and Death Great Hand was like a corner of the sky collapsing. It contained the power of the heavens and the earth and sealed the surrounding space. It had truly reached an extremely terrifying level.

“They came so quickly.”

Qi Ming looked at the giant hand descending from the sky.

“How can this be?!”

The Dragon of the Desert was shocked and afraid. “The Yinglong Grotto-heaven is a grotto-heaven Holy Land established by His Majesty the Demon Emperor. It has the restriction of the Demon Emperor and does not allow existences above the Nascent Soul realm to enter.”

“Moreover, other than that ‘gap’, it’s impossible to enter from other places.”

“You’re really laughable and sad.”

Qi Ming shook his head, “Dragon of the Desert, don’t you see? The Yinglong Grotto-heaven has been directly torn apart, or are you unwilling to accept this reality?”

Roar!

At the critical moment, the Dragon Elephant Turtle raised its head and roared, letting out a huge roar. The sound wave seemed to be material as it shook in all directions. Vast demonic energy surged and gathered.

It erupted with all its might.

The strength of the Soul Formation realm completely erupted.

The Dragon Elephant Turtle roared out a thick energy pillar from its mouth. Ancient demon runes surrounded it like a dragon breath and like a heavenly pillar, it attacked the Life and Death Great Hand.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

The Life and Death Great Hand Seal obliterated everything. Life and death circulated, and all things died. The thick energy pillar was unable to shake the Life and Death Great Hand at all.

There was an absolute difference in strength between the two sides.

“No!!!”

When the desert dragon saw this scene, it could not help but roar.

Pew!!!

The next moment, the Dragon Elephant Turtle was obliterated by the Life and Death Great Palm and could not resist at all. Its huge dragon head was obliterated into flesh and blood that filled the sky, and its Essence Soul was destroyed.

The huge corpse fell to the ground.

“Greetings, Grand Elder.”

“Grand Elder will enjoy eternal happiness and longevity.”

“…”

At this moment, the legacy disciples of the Thirteen Demon Dao of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires of the Myriad Demon Cave knelt on one knee and bowed to the black-robed figure standing in the sky.

“He… he’s the Grand Elder of the Myriad Demon Cave.”

“Everyone, be careful.”

“…”

The legacy descendants of the various factions were shocked.

The black-robed figure in front of him had used a great Dharmic powers divine power to tear open the space of the Yinglong Grotto-heaven and destroy the Soul Formation realm Dragon Elephant Turtle with a Life and Death Great Hand.

He was the Grand Elder of the Myriad Demon Cave: the Life and Death Daoist.

His cultivation level was unfathomable.

“Spirit of the grotto-heaven.”

Buzz!

The Life and Death Daoist’s gaze landed on the Dragon of the Desert. His expression was indifferent, and there was no expression on his face, “You’ve only survived since ancient times. You dare to kill the juniors of the Myriad Demon Cave?”

“You’re overestimating yourself.”

“I will reforge your intelligence.”

The Life and Death Daoist stretched out his right hand. His Dharmic powers and divine powers circulated, and a huge black and white palm appeared. It was flowing with vitality and death energy.

Life and death were spinning.

Qi Ming and the desert dragon were very close.

He also felt an extremely terrifying pressure.

On the surface, the Life and Death Daoist wanted to deal with the spirit of the grotto-heaven, but in fact, he wanted to kill Qi Ming, so the latter felt a huge pressure.

The surrounding space restricted Qi Ming’s body.

A vast black and white palm enveloped Qi Ming and the desert dragon.

“Junior Brother Qi!” Tang Binshun was shocked, “Oh no, the true goal of this great demon of the Myriad Demon Cave is not only the spirit of the grotto-heaven, but also Junior Brother Qi Ming.”

“Qi Ming!”

“Be careful!”

“…”

Dong Yuan, Qiu Wenshi, Lin Xian’er, and the others shouted.

“Purity Golden Body.”

Qi Ming’s expression was cold as he stared at the Life and Death Daoist as if he wanted to completely engrave his figure. He had already circulated the Purity Golden Body to the limit.

Roar! Roar!

At this moment, the Dragon of the Desert also completely fought with its life on the line. It mobilized all its strength and returned the power of the Yinglong Grotto-heaven to its body, intending to resist the Life and Death Daoist.

But clearly…

This was only a powerless struggle.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

The desert dragon was defeated by the black and white palm and exploded, turning into yellow sand that filled the sky. Its spiritual body was about to escape.

Buzz!

There was an invisible force that restricted the spirituality of the desert dragon, preventing it from escaping. The True Spirit Flame that contained Dao Insight burned and burned the intelligence of the desert dragon.

The desert dragon was the spirit of the grotto-heaven, a manifestation of the Dao of the Yinglong Grotto-heaven. If one wanted to truly destroy the desert dragon, they had to destroy the entire Yinglong Grotto-heaven.

Apart from that…

There was another way.

The Life and Death Daoist used spiritual flames that contained the Dao Insight of Life and Death to burn the desert dragon. It could eliminate and reset the intelligence of the spirit of the grotto-heaven, the desert dragon.

This way, all the memories and experiences of the Dragon of the Desert would disappear.

The spirit of the grotto-heaven would still be the spirit of the grotto-heaven, but it was no longer the Dragon of the Desert. Instead, it was a new spirit that had just been born.

For example, it was as if the software had been formatted.

Buzz!

Qi Ming’s entire body shook.

After the desert dragon was destroyed by the Life and Death Daoist, Qi Ming was the first to bear the brunt. Life and death spun as various Dharmic powers enveloped Qi Ming, wanting to obliterate him.

Crack!

The Purity Golden Body emitted a faint golden light as it resisted the power of the Life and Death Daoist. However, it only lasted for half a second before cracks appeared on the golden body.

It was impossible to resist.

The difference in their cultivation levels was too great.

Clang!

At this moment, all the living beings present heard a bell sound and could not help but look over. Another crack appeared in Yinglong Grotto-heaven, and then a huge green bell descended from the sky.

In an instant, it had already descended above Qi Ming.

The huge bell floated above Qi Ming and scattered green light. The green light was like a waterfall, but it was as thin as a cicada’s wings. It blocked the power of the Life and Death Daoist.

“This is… the Dustless Bell!”

“Disciple greets Grand Elder.”

“…”

Below, Dong Yuan and the others recognized the origin of the huge green bell. They immediately knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.

“Old thing.”

The Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s Grand Elder, Perfected Wuchen, walked in from the second crack. He had white hair and a youthful face. He wore a green robe and had a green vertical mark between his brows, “You really dare? You’re really shameless to attack a junior of my sect.”

“That’s enough.” Daoist Wuchen continued.

“Wuchen.”

The Life and Death Daoist waved his right hand, and the black and white palm dissipated. The Life and Death Dao Insight that was filled with his surroundings instantly dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

“Disciple Qi Ming thanks Grand Elder for saving my life.”

Buzz!

Qi Ming removed the Purity Golden Body and the faint golden light on his body disappeared. The Dharmic powers in his body were exhausted. He heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands to Daoist Wuchen.

“Heh.” Daoist Wuchen chuckled, “Don’t blame me for being slow.”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Qi Ming replied.

Crack! Crack!

At this moment, in the sky of the Yinglong Grotto-heaven, one after another, seven more cracks appeared.

The originally intact Yinglong Grotto-heaven was forcefully torn into pieces.

“Amitabha.”

Boom!

The master of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple’s Ascetic Buddha School, Dharma Master Miao Bo, arrived. Buddha light shone, and the surroundings where he stood seemed to have transformed into a Buddhist Kingdom.

Immediately after, the Spring Autumn Sect’s Grand Elder Xu Changsheng, the Dao Seeking Sect’s Grand Elder Tang Dao, the West Sea Dragon King of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, Luqiu Cangyi, the Demon Court’s Demon God Wu Qiya, the Divine Spirit Court’s City God Zhong Weiling, and the Demon Immortal Sect’s Grand Elder Sun Wuxin.

They traversed space with great Dharmic powers and divine powers as

they descended.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!

Eight powerful existences with unfathomable cultivations were gathered here. Although they did not make a move, the confrontation formed by the aura they emitted had already caused the entire Yinglong Cave to be in chaos. Spiritual qi surged, and various storms and phenomena were created.

Everyone felt immense pressure.

Qi Ming’s pressure was the greatest.

Their attention landed on Qi Ming faintly, as if they were deliberating whether to attack him at this moment.

His performance in the previous battle was too powerful. He even had the faith of invincibility and suppressed the younger generation of the various large factions. He could be said to be the fully deserving number one person.

They wanted to kill Qi Ming before he truly grew up.

They wanted to kill this threat before he could grow further.

Daoist Wuchen used his Intrinsic Dharma treasure, the Dustless Bell, to protect Qi Ming.

If they attacked, they would have to face the anger of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

“Huff…”

Qi Ming took a deep breath. The pressure in his heart was not small. He naturally knew what the Grand Elders of the various factions were thinking. This was also the reason why Qi Ming did not want to stand out too much.

Since it had already happened, he had to face it.

He could not be cowardly or back down.

“Dharma Sword, please come!”

Clang!

At this moment, the other Grand Elder of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, Jin Yun, had arrived. She was not tall, and her body was hunched. Her face was covered in wrinkles like an old woman who was about to die.

Granny Jin Yun bowed in a direction.

A sword cry sounded.

Then, a green sword appeared, and it was like a living thing that possessed intelligence. It floated in front of Granny Jin Yun and spat out green sword qi.

“This is…”

“Heaven Enlightenment Sword!”

“The Dharma Sword of the Sect Master of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, Yang Li!”

The various factions were shocked.

They all stopped thinking of killing Qi Ming.

If Granny Jin Yun could summon Yang Li’s Sect Master’s sword, it was enough to prove that the Heaven Enlightenment Sect wanted to protect Qi Ming and would definitely not let him die here.

Under such circumstances, unless they were prepared to go to war with the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, they did not dare to attack.

“Legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, listen up.”

Granny Jin Yun shouted in a deep voice, “The legacy competition will end here. The sect will open the spatial passageway. All of you will return to the sect.”

“Open!”

Buzz!

As soon as she finished speaking, the Heaven Enlightenment Sword slashed forward, splitting space and time. A huge sword scar appeared. Granny Jin Yun formed hand seals again, forming a spatial seal.

In the blink of an eye, she constructed an extremely stable spatial passageway.

The legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect looked at each other. Without any hesitation, they flew towards the spatial passageway that had just been constructed one after another and returned to the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

Qi Ming was naturally among them..
