I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 302 - 300: The Final Battle (Part 7)

Li Xing’s face was covered with blood, even her eyes filled with it, making her look terrifying and intimidating.

Although she appeared severely injured, in reality, the wounds were not deep; the Wind Blade only cut shallowly into her flesh, not damaging any tendons or internal organs.

Mingzhen did not expect Li Xing to take the Sky Wind Annihilation Array head-on to approach him. Feeling like his neck would be snapped, he immediately wrapped the Wind Blade around his hand and thrust it towards Li Xing’s heart.

Unfortunately, as soon as he raised his hand, it was bound by Li Xing using the Immortal Binding Rope. Li Xing’s entire body seemed boneless, pressed against Mingzhen, with her other arm tightly gripping his waist.

If one ignored the identical expressions of disgust on their faces, the pose would seem as sweet as a couple embracing.

Mingzhen struggled twice but could not break free of Li Xing’s grip. Instead, he felt the hand on his neck squeezing him more forcefully.

"Hmm—!"

Since he couldn’t break free, he stopped struggling, wanting to see what Li Xing intended to do.

Mingzhen’s eyeballs bulged from the pressure, yet his expression showed no panic. He stared at Li Xing, silently despising her: He didn’t even need to breathe. Did she really think she could strangle him like a common person? How foolish!

No matter how Li Xing attacked, as long as his true body was unharmed, she couldn’t do anything to him.

Mingzhen was confident, but the next second, a surge of energy rushing into his body contorted his face with horror.

"Hmm—hmm!"

Mingzhen felt a searing, violent energy like flames pouring into his body, burning through his being. The sensation was so intense yet familiar—it was the Chaotic Power, the most hated and feared by his kind!

In disbelief, Mingzhen looked at Li Xing. The Chaos Qi flowed from the hand gripping his neck.

Seeing the panic and fear finally appear in Mingzhen’s eyes, Li Xing coldly said, "I’ve had a few words pent up in my heart for a long time. I wonder if Lord King Worm could spare a moment to hear them?"

Li Xing showed no sign of loosening her grip on his neck. Mingzhen’s eyes were about to pop out, unable to move. Even if he didn’t want to listen, he had no choice but to endure the torment of Chaos Qi while hearing Li Xing’s scornful words.

"I’ve always pondered a question. The Qianyuan Continent is rich in resources, and though it doesn’t have solid Spirit Veins like other immortal worlds, its air is filled with Spiritual Energy, and it’s much better than the desolate world you came from. With all this, why do you plan so meticulously to leave at any cost?"

"Unless there’s something here you deeply detest or fear that makes it imperative for you to leave."

Mingzhen’s face turned from pale to blue, not knowing if it was because Li Xing hit a sensitive nerve or due to the Chaos Qi.

"The greatest difference between the Qianyuan world and other great worlds is that Spiritual Energy and Chaos Qi coexist here. Your kind feeds on Spiritual Energy, so you naturally don’t fear it. Thus, the answer is obvious; you’re afraid of Chaos Qi!"

Mingzhen’s pupils contracted rapidly. Dammit, this wretched girl figured it out!

"I guess your kind originally didn’t want to use the Qianyuan world as a stepping stone to attack the Human Clan, right? Hmph, typical Outer Heaven Demon, causing trouble on our side, even the Heavenly Dao is against you!"

"Despite surviving on the Qianyuan Continent for so long, it inevitably subjected you to the influence of Chaos Qi. Even though you tried to minimize the impact, it still led to the genetic collapse of your descendants."

"Mingzhen, I know that if you escape the Qianyuan Continent to a world with pure Spiritual Energy, within a few years, the Mingmeng Clan will rise again, presenting humanity with an extinction-level threat!"

"I’m not a hot-blooded person, perhaps even a bit cold-hearted, but for the future of billions of humans, today I’m going to stand my ground against you!"

"Chu Yunyi’s physical body is an Innate Holy Body, thanks to you, it has already been tempered by Spiritual Energy, and now he’s completely resistant to the erosion of Chaos Qi. All the Chaos Qi now entering him is affecting you entirely. Every one of your cells will be baptized by the Chaos Qi, let’s see how long you can hold on."

After speaking, Li Xing increased the flow of Chaos Qi. The golden Nascent Soul within her Dantian wore a serious expression, rapidly forming hand seals, mobilizing all Chaotic Power, continuously transmitting it to Li Xing.

As the Chaos Qi entering his body increased, Mingzhen felt as if he were roasting atop an erupting volcano. Every cell cried out in agony, and the connection between him and Chu Yunyi’s physical body grew increasingly tenuous, on the verge of losing control.

Li Xing was right; Chaos Qi was indeed the greatest weakness of their kind.

In that clan-wide war years ago, the vast majority of the Mingmeng soldiers had been severely injured by Chaos Qi upon descending on Qianyuan, losing the ability to fight.

The strong Mingmeng above the King Worm level fared better, but their combat prowess was inevitably affected, otherwise, with the brutal strength of their kind, how could they have been driven away by the Human Clan, leaving only him, one King Worm!

The Chaos Qi within him had already reached the limit he could withstand; just a little more, and he would die.

Mingzhen desperately struggled to break free from the Locking Ripple Talisman, but the talisman had fused him entirely with Chu Yunyi’s flesh, it couldn’t be undone!

He was now spread out like Chu Yunyi’s blood throughout the entire body, enduring the torment of Chaos Qi in his most vulnerable state with a vast surface area.

At the last moment of his life, Mingzhen understood; Li Xing clearly could have used Chaos Qi to kill him from the start but chose to act only after he had parasitized Chu Yunyi’s body. Clearly, she intended for him to repair the Innate Holy Body with Spiritual Energy!

Though unsure of what Li Xing intended to do with this shell, Mingzhen definitely didn’t want her to succeed.

Since he couldn’t survive anyway, taking them down with him before he died wasn’t bad; even if he couldn’t kill Li Xing, he wanted to utterly destroy this body he both loved and hated.

At this thought, a profound sense of melancholy surged in Mingzhen’s heart. The Nine Nether World had already been drained of all Spiritual Energy by the Mingmeng Clan, becoming a lifeless wasteland. Those of the Mingmeng who stayed behind rather than follow the invasion of the human world are all dead.

He was the last Mimeng King Worm; once he died, the hegemony that reigned over the Nine Nether World for millions of years would utterly vanish from the world.

Li Xing sensed something amiss with Mingzhen’s aura, realizing something was wrong, she quickly released her grip and distanced herself from him.

Tens of large water mirrors appeared suddenly around Mingzhen, beams of red light shot out from the water mirrors, striking Mingzhen’s body. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Gritting his teeth, Mingzhen formed a series of complex hand seals. The red light from the water mirrors intensified severalfold, and his skin smoked under the influence of the red light.

Li Xing was shocked; Mingzhen intended to destroy Chu Yunyi’s physical body!

Mingzhen roared frantically, "Li Xing, let me show you the power of the sacred relic of our kind, the Nether Mirror!"

Without time to think, Li Xing flashed into the circle of water mirrors, freeing the Locking Ripple Talisman with a single-hand seal, while her other hand struck towards Mingzhen’s heart.

A strange scene unfolded; with Li Xing’s palm strike, a humanoid shadow akin to dust was forced out from Chu Yunyi’s body. A shrill scream was faintly heard, then Chu Yunyi fell limply, caught in Li Xing’s arms.

Mingzhen was completely corroded by the Chaos Qi into ashes, while various-grade worm eggs in the Puppet and Star Beast also lost all vitality at the same time.

Without the influence of worm eggs, all Puppets controlled by Mingzhen on the Qianyuan Continent regained their sanity, looking around blankly, wondering why they were attacking the ground without realizing it.

The Star Beast was the first to react with a roar, leading the charge towards the nearest forest while humans quickly retreated, contacting friends and family with their optical brains as they ran.

The battle in the Chu Family also paused at that moment, with Jiang Hongfei, Nangong Qingxin, Mo Su, and Lin Guyang’s eyes regaining clarity as the Puppets invading the Chu Family seemed equally confused, showing puzzled expressions.

Ji Jingtang sighed; the crisis on the Qianyuan Continent, resolved!

Just as Li Xing was about to descend to the ground with Chu Yunyi’s body, the water mirrors that previously surrounded Mingzhen rapidly fused into a simple small mirror, suspended in mid-air, emitting a faint, ethereal light that enveloped the two.

Li Xing’s pupils tightened rapidly, followed by an earth-shattering explosion that flattened the entire plaza.
