566 About Divine Power
He had wanted to use the purple lightning to attract Gui Wu, but he didn’t expect the demon to look at him with disdain.
“Bah! What bullsh*t divine lightning. I already know the source of your divine power! You’re just borrowing that uncontrollable power. It doesn’t belong to you at all!”
If Lin Qiye didn’t care much about what Gui Wu had said before, this sentence hit the nail on the head.
The power of the purple lightning had already exceeded Lin Qiye’s knowledge.
Although he could currently summon it for his use, he could not truly control that power.
Now that he saw Gui Wu seemed to understand this power more than he did, how could Lin Qiye not be tempted?
“How much do you know about that divine power?”
Lin Qiye stretched out his hand, and an invisible force restrained Gui Wu.
“Do you want to know? In your dreams! Hahaha!”
Seeing Lin Qiye’s fretful expression, Gui Wu laughed again.
He didn’t give Lin Qiye a chance to torment him. He immediately activated the remaining energy in his body and expanded his body.
“Not good!”
Lin Qiye’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly left Gui Wu and teleported a thousand miles away.
The next second, a ray of white light appeared on the horizon. Lin Qiye spat out a mouthful of blood, and his domain collapsed.
Gui Wu self-destructed.
The self-destruction of an Earth Immortal powerhouse had caused unbearable damage to Lin Qiye’s domain on the spot.
The moment Gui Wu self-destructed, the remaining hundred or so Immortal Level demons immediately sensed it. At the same time, they also received Gui Wu’s last message before he died.
“I’ve already severely injured that human! Kill him! Kill him!”
The demons planning to escape changed directions.
They were scattered in all directions before the domain collapsed.
Now that they had turned around, they immediately surrounded Lin Qiye.
Knowing Lin Qiye had mastered teleportation, the demons joined forces to disrupt the spatial fluctuations, not giving him any chance to escape.
In the middle of the encirclement, Lin Qiye stood in the air and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Wan Meng’s figure slowly appeared.
“How are you? Are you alright?”
The Thunder God Aspect had also collapsed with the domain. Wan Meng returned to Lin Qiye’s side.
“I’m fine.”
Lin Qiye checked his injuries.
After reaching the Immortal Realm, one’s life would complete a transition. As long as one didn’t lose too much life force, even if one’s head was cut off, one could still recover.
“What a sinister fellow. He’s secretly accumulating power to self-destruct!” Wan Meng said through gritted teeth.
Just now, she had been distracted by locking down the hundred or so Immortals, so she didn’t notice that Gui Wu had secretly burned his life essence and chosen to self-destruct.
Lin Qiye was still in shock.
Just now, when Gui Wu told him about his power, he had been too careless and didn’t notice that he had started accumulating power secretly.
Otherwise, he would not be in such a sorry state.
“Where’s your domain?”
After regaining his composure, Lin Qiye realized Wan Meng’s domain had disappeared as well.
“Your power collapsed just now. I was worried something might happen to you, so I came to protect you,” Wan Meng replied.
“What? Activate your domain! We can’t let those demons escape!”
Lin Qiye was shocked and quickly shouted.
Wan Meng pouted.
“Why are you so fierce? They didn’t run away. They’re all here to catch you!”
As Wan Meng spoke, Lin Qiye sensed the approaching demons with his divine sense.
Not a single one was missing. All 132 Immortal Level demons were present.
“Phew…”
Lin Qiye couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
If he let the hundred or so demons escape, it wouldn’t be good for his next plan.
“Good. Let’s finish off the rest first.”
Gui Wu’s self-destruction injured Lin Qiye badly. However, it was as if he had been hit by a not-so-fatal blow. At that time, he had been in so much pain that he lost his bearings. However, after he recovered, he was not too gravely affected.
His combat strength might have been reduced, but it was more than enough to deal with a group of demons at the Human Immortal Level.
The divine purple lightning dissipated from Gui Wu’s self-destruction, but with the help of Wan Meng and Lin Qiye’s lightning power, ordinary Human Immortal Level demons were helpless against him.
The only problem was that the demons had sealed off the space. Although Lin Qiye could barely teleport with Wan Meng’s buffs, the distance between them had been greatly reduced.
It was effortless but time-consuming to clear out the hundred Immortal Level demons within the domain.
Black clouds covered the sky for thousands of miles, and lightning flashed occasionally.
Outside the domain, the Queen and her party spent less than half a day cleaning up all the demons.
Among them, there were only three Immortal Level demons.
Although the number was small, their dying counterattack also caused several Immortal Realm experts to be seriously injured.
Fortunately, the Queen’s side had more people and didn’t give them the chance to self-destruct. Therefore, this loss was insignificant.
“I wonder what’s going on in there. That aura was so terrifying. It felt like an Earth Immortal expert had exploded.”
“Even a Celestial might have arrived. What’s an Earth Immortal?”
“Let’s wait and see. The Holy Infant’s domain is still there, which means he should be fine.”
The human cultivators gathered and discussed in low voices, but no one mentioned going to support Lin Qiye.
The Queen looked at the thunderclouds in the distance and clenched her fists.
She had heard from Lin Qiye that as long as there was no Celestial, the problem could be solved.
However, the aura just now had far exceeded her, a cultivator at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm. If it wasn’t a Celestial, what could it be?
The Queen couldn’t help but feel anxious. However, she also knew that with her and the weaker people behind her, not only would they not be of any help, but they might even drag Lin Qiye down.
“Quickly look! The thunderclouds are starting to dissipate!”
Suddenly, someone shouted. Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the distant dissipating thundercloud.
The evil presence is weakening!
Everyone could feel that the evil energy in the world was getting thinner, as if some power was constantly purifying it.
Soon, the black mist in the distance faded away, and a black dot appeared in everyone’s field of vision.
“It’s the Holy Infant!”
Some cultivators with good eyesight immediately saw who the black dot was.
The Queen immediately went up to Lin Qiye.
Although he was slightly injured, Lin Qiye’s expression did not change much.
“It’s over?”
The Queen asked uneasily. Even though she had already guessed the outcome, she still wanted to hear Lin Qiye’s answer.
Lin Qiye smiled and nodded.
When the cultivators who had caught up to her heard the Queen’s question and saw Lin Qiye’s reply, they were excited and burst into cheers.
“We won! We won!”
They had only cleaned up a few random soldiers that had slipped through the net on the periphery. It was already strenuous.
The aura of the situation inside alone was enough to send chills down everyone’s spine.
However, Lin Qiye had gone alone to deal with such a terrifying force and dealt with it alone.
They thought it was easy because they saw Lin Qiye hadn’t changed much since he entered and came out. Therefore, everyone admired his strength.
No one dared to question this mysterious bigwig from the Heavenly God Palace anymore. They were all full of respect for him.
On the same day, Lin Qiye followed the Queen back to the capital of Country Xu to attend the celebration party.
The commoners didn’t know much about the victory against the demons, but the higher-ups of the other three empires had all heard about it.
“Are the people from the Heavenly God Palace that terrifying?”
The Shang Emperor muttered to himself as he read the report in his hands.
He had fought against the demons and knew how powerful they were.
The other two empires also sighed when they received the information.
“The demons are terrifying. Country Xu almost fell into enemy hands in just a few days. However, that Holy Infant Temple Master is even more unbelievable. He’s truly worthy of being from the Heavenly God Palace.”
After this incident, all the great empires and forces were even more in awe of the power of the Heavenly God Palace.
Although it did not have much to do with the Heavenly God Palace, they gained more reputation.
