Chapter 1546 - Divine Eye

“Li Qingshan.”

Li Qingshan stood in the burning clouds. He seemed unfazed on the surface, but he was very surprised inside. Even with the power behind the Divine Fire of World Destruction, he was actually unable to even harm this bastard!

“Nidaum.”

Nidaum placed his right hand over his chest and bowed slightly, also stating his name. His lips curled slightly. “You’re very surprised. Seems like you’ve only undergone the sixth heavenly tribulation recently. You’re not even particularly accustomed to hiding your emotions.”

“Flames are like a weapon. Power does not lie in the weapon itself, but the person wielding it. It’s called the Divine Fire of World Destruction, so of course, only gods can unleash their might. The flames which the lord of the māra used to incinerate Tripura is not a trivility like this.”

TL: Tripura.

Li Qingshan shivered. Under the observations of Mānas-vij?āna, even his thoughts had almost become transparent.

At that instant, he began to weave his thoughts from scratch again, establishing high walls to obscure them from any prying eyes.

At this moment, his chest suddenly ached, and he coughed up blood!

Nidaum stood in the distant horizon, yet he held a bloody heart in his hand, and it continued to thump away.

“How can you be distracted during a battle?”

Li Qingshan’s body was unscathed, but his chest felt empty. That was his heart.

When he placed all of his focus on his mind, he neglected his body, revealing an opening.

Through his experience of combat in the past, it could not be considered as an opening at all from so far away, yet he was immediately heavily injured.

Nidaum’s hand directly passed through space, plunging into his chest and snatching away his heart, destroying his other organs in the meantime too.

Li Qingshan wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth. “Thank you for the lesson!”

Nidaum casually crushed the heart before opening his bloody hand and extending it towards Li Qingshan. “I will snatch your organs from your body one by one. With your temporary undying body of asura, just how long can you last? Afterwards, I’ll drain your soul, and you’ll die…”

Li Qingshan interrupted him, “What are you trying to say?”

“Run! The further the better, out of the Asura realm if possible. Come back once you’ve completely adjusted to your realm of cultivation and learnt how to fight!”

“Didn’t you say I had to die?”

“If you die by my hand, he’d rather fall in battle than surrender.”

Nidaum gazed at the ground again. Under Rāhu Xiaoming’s command, his heavily-surrounded army had already reignited their morale and begun to fight back. He personally led the army in battle, radiating with valiance. They were outnumbered one to ten, yet no one could blunt their edge.

His eyes were filled with admiration. He said softly, “I need him!”

Li Qingshan shivered all over and immediately made up his mind. I definitely can’t let this damned homosexual take Xiaoming.

“Die!”

Wielding the dancing black flames, he charged straight towards Nidaum. He raised his six arms, and the flames condensed into spears that shot forth.

Swish, swish, swish, swish…

At that instant, countless streaks of black light filled the air, sealing off any and all possible places where Nidaum could dodge towards.

Nidaum did not try to dodge. He allowed one of the spears of black fire to pierce his chest, but he remained unharmed.

Li Qingshan widened his eyes and discovered that he constantly vanished and reappeared, hiding in space. He moved through the streaks of light so casually that he seemed like he was on a stroll. Suddenly, he realised that he actually seemed immune to all damage.

Nidaum sneered. He had basically made his response before Li Qingshan even launched his attack.

In the intense battle, Li Qingshan’s emotions were exposed once again. Clearly, he was still not particularly accustomed to a battle of this level. Once he was distracted, he could not take multiple things into account.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qingshan arrived before him. His six arms wielded six spears of black fire that were thrust out violently.

Sure enough, Nidaum vanished again, and all six spears missed.

“You were better off not making an attempt. When you launch an attack, heh, you’re basically filled with openings!”

Nidaum appeared again, having brushed past Li Qingshan already and taken one of his arms in the process, sending blood splattering. He sensed Li Qingshan’s anger and refusal to just go down like this, savouring it like sweet wine.

Li Qingshan’s head suddenly swivelled by an eerie one hundred and eighty degrees. His smile was just as eerie, like a sneer, yet also with fake anger and refusal mixed in. It was like a contorted mask.

Suddenly, a vertical eye opened on his forehead, producing a jet of Divine Fire of World Destruction as thick as a finger. Who knew how many times faster it was compared to the black spears, arriving at Nidaum’s unguarded back in an instant.

Nidaum could not help but be stunned, but he responded immediately. His figure vanished again, and the jet of black fire vanished as well.

This time, he only reappeared after “quite a while”. At the same time, the black fire pierced his chest.

It was unavoidable!

In reality, the black fire had pierced space the same time as Nidaum had entered space. Nidaum fled as it pursued, and after several hundred twists, it finally hit him.

Of course, in the eyes of others, they only saw a blur. For those with lower cultivations, they might not have even realised he had vanished. They just thought he had been caught off-guard.

But this time, the wound did not close up. Instead, it expanded and spread.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The spears of black fire thrown earlier landed on the ground. Countless plumes of smoke rose into the air, temporarily drowning out the battle cries from the battlefield.

“You!” Nidaum turned around. His face was warped with anger.

He knew he had been played. Li Qingshan intentionally exposed his emotions, even feigning his anger and refusal in the end, just so he could launch a fatal strike when he lowered his guard for a moment!

“Don’t tell me no one ever taught you to shut up with all that bullshit when you fight?”

Li Qingshan laughed. A new arm extended from where it was broken, extending six middle fingers at the same time. “Right back at you!”

“How is this possible… why do you know… how are you so proficient!?”

Nidaum gazed at the hole in his chest in disbelief, struggling to accept it. The guy he had toyed around with just earlier had actually adjusted to the method of battle of the sixth heavenly tribulation so quickly.

From his fake emotions to deceive him, followed up by the pursuit in space, up until his wounds right now, it was as if he had become someone different altogether.

And he could confirm that Li Qingshan was not playing the fool earlier. Otherwise, the sneak attack in the tent definitely would have ended up worse for him.

The power of the Divine Fire of World Destruction was far too terrifying. It overwhelmed the undying body of asura even more than he imagined it to.

“Tsk, it’s absolutely nothing! I don’t need to run, much less out of the Asura realm. I’ll kill you right now!” Li Qingshan lowered his six middle fingers. “I gotta thank you for your guidance. It has reminded me that knowledge is power!”

Adjusting to the sixth heavenly tribulation was obviously a very time-consuming task, but in the Formless realm, Li Qingshan had already reached a higher realm of comprehension. That was all stored within six-eared bro’s letter of wind. As long as his strength was up to standard, he could merge with it and use it at any moment.

Comprehension itself was not strength, but it was the basis of all strength. After the great Einstein discovered the theory of relativity, Oppenheimer discovered, Oh, so you can use it to make nuclear weapons and blow everyone up.

When it came to fighting, Li Qingshan had always been able to understand things from the slightest inspiration or guidance, without any master to teach him. He discovered his method of using the Divine Fire of World Destruction was far too crude. It was basically like smacking people around with a nuclear bomb, or a dirty bomb at most.

Most importantly, he discovered that the thing on his forehead was not just an opening for flames, but an actual “eye” too!

As a result, he used it to lock onto Nidaum’s movements through space. He could even “see” the “openings” that existed on him.

That was different from a regular “opening” where you were punched in the face because you failed to respond in time.

Instead, it was an “opening” in terms of laws, like how a rock possessed many cracks invisible to the naked eye. Normally, even striking it with an axe would be useless, leaving behind a white mark at most.

However, as long as he found these important cracks, just a gentle tap of a chisel would be enough to break or even shatter the rock.

The undying body of asura was like a rock. It was not flawless. As long as he found an important vital point, he could deal severe damage or even instant destruction.

Of course, regular attacks were completely useless. These vital points would rapidly flow with their aura and change with their movements.

The “divine eye” on Li Qingshan’s forehead could see these “vital points”.

But seeing them was nowhere near enough. These vital points were not actual “points”. The actual situation was much more complicated than that.

Not only did he have to find the cracks on the rock, but he even had to follow these cracks and pierce the entire rock as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, these cracks would be constantly changing. Even being off by the slightest would severely diminish the effect.

Under these circumstances, regular arcane treasures and techniques were useless. No matter how powerful they were, crushing Nidaum to pieces, they could not prevent him from regenerating through the undying body of asura.

However, the Divine Fire of World Destruction possessed that ability. That was what truly made it terrifying. Theoretically, it could destroy everything, with no limit to its destructive power.

Li Qingshan fanned his six hands, like he was shooing away a kid. “Run! The further the better, even though I won’t spare you.”

Yeah, I’m just that vengeful!
