My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1491 - 553: Li Qingque (Part 2)
The immense impact sent Li Huayou flying uncontrollably forward, only managing to stabilize himself after casting a spell for over a thousand steps. He looked up, furious, and shouted, "I have no enmity with you, why did you attack?!"
"Why?"
Chen Sansi stood holding a spear, his expression cold, and said deliberately, "Because I really don't like people who conduct Blood Sacrifices."
"Then you can go to hell too!"
Li Huayou's eyes burned red like blood as he suddenly opened his arms wide. A drop of Essence Blood at the center of his forehead ignited fiercely, transforming into a sharp blood light that merged into the Array Plate.
Instantly, countless twisted ghostly shadows crawled out, with an overpowering sinister aura sweeping the surroundings, causing the heavens and earth to lose color.
The void seemed to transform into a sticky sea of blood, with a terrifying oppression causing the chaos mist to churn endlessly.
This was his Lifebound Array.
While within this Great Formation, it could almost elevate his combat power to the level of a half-step Quasi-Emperor and weaken his opponent as well.
This array alone.
He had previously easily slain two Human Race Immortal Saints!
"Boom rumble——"
The ghostly shadows gathered to form twisted iron spikes that swept towards the two cultivators within the formation from various directions.
"Huh?!"
Li Qingque formed a hand seal with one hand, unleashing a surge of robust Immortal Yuan Magical Power.
But at the same time.
The sinister aura within the formation rapidly consumed this power, significantly diminishing the divine skill's unleashed might.
As he dealt with the iron spikes while contemplating how to break the situation.
Not far away, Chen Sansi took out a bow and arrow.
The bow's body was dim, neither wood nor stone, resembling a pair of antlers pieced together.
He slowly drew the bowstring, and as it reached full draw like a full moon, a faint gleam lit up from the front end of the bow and arrow.
It was not the radiance evoked by a spell, but an extremely restrained and concentrated "momentum," as if compressing myriad laws, containing a trace of primordial meaning capable of destroying all things.
Release the string.
Arrow released!
There was no deafening explosion, only an extremely faint yet razor-sharp "swoosh"!
As the arrow left the string, time seemed to freeze for a moment.
The arrow flying invisibly appeared to move as quickly as a constable, yet it ignored spatial distance, shooting out one moment, reaching several Formation Eyes in an instant.
Ding——
A crisp, jade-like chime rang out.
Immediately after.
From the point where the arrow tip touched down, countless fine cracks swiftly spread throughout the entire dome.
Within the cracks, an incomparably dazzling golden light burst forth, dispelling the filthy blood fiend energy entirely.
"Rumble——"
It was as if some supreme rule had been forcibly broken; the surrounding space for several thousand miles collapsed all at once, and that formation was utterly annihilated!
One arrow opens the Heavenly Gate!
This eighth-tier Great Formation was completely destroyed with just one arrow from Chen Sansi.
Moreover.
He had not even used his full strength.
As for the bow and arrow themselves, they had long been reforged and upgraded by the Execution Immortal Gate, as had the long spear, now both at the ninth-tier level of the Archaic Immortal Treasure.
"Ah!"
With his Life Array powerless against the attack, Li Huayou shrieked as he spat a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Who are you?!"
Kneeling on one knee, he said in disbelief, "How could this be possible? As fellow Immortal Saint Realm cultivators, how can there be such a vast difference?!"
Chen Sansi ignored him.
He snapped his fingers lightly.
A golden clone appeared at his rear flank, like a mechanized puppet, picking up a bow and arrow and starting to continuously shoot at the demon cultivator.
Shadow of the Arrow Tao!
Each arrow contained terrifying Power of Laws!
Li Huayou could only rely on a shield to block.
But each time these arrows were blocked, they didn't dissipate but hovered in the void like flying swords, attacking again from different directions.
Before three arrows had been released.
The shield could no longer hold, shattering like porcelain.
The arrow shadow continued to draw the bow.
Li Huayou perceived the terrifying gap between the two of them, and had no will to continue fighting, turning to flee, but could not shake off the arrows, forced into a desperate entanglement.
Taking advantage of this.
Li Qingque charged forward again, engaging in a fierce battle with the opponent.
The gap between Li Huayou and him was not large to begin with, but now with Chen helping him, how could he be a match?
Before twenty rounds had passed.
He was utterly exhausted of clever tactics and, under the pincer attack, severely wounded, finally pierced through the heart by an arrow, and subsequently consumed by the Nirvana True Fire, reduced to ashes with his Primordial Spirit.
Chen Sansi didn't even intervene personally, merely relying on a clone to help the Li-named cultivator, easily crushing a Demon Dao Immortal Saint of the same realm to death!
This scene.
Even Li Qingque was astounded.
"This Daoist, to cultivate the bow and arrow to such a level, perhaps has no equal in millions of years!"
He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your assistance!"
"No need to be polite."
Chen Sansi retracted his stance, speaking calmly, "Such demon cultivators deserve to be exterminated by all."
Li Qingque asked, "May I ask this Daoist and the fairy's esteemed names?"
"A loose cultivator from the East Sea, not worth mentioning."
Chen Sansi remained evasive, changing the topic, "Did the Daoist come to the Chaos Secret Realm to slay this demon?"
"Sort of."
Li Qingque sheathed his sword, "Of course, if I can find the ancient treasures here, that would be even better."
Chen Sansi asked directly, "Does the Daoist know what supreme treasures are in this Chaos Secret Realm?"
"To be honest, my family ancestor once reached the depths of the Secret Realm centuries ago, and knows a lot of secrets others don't.
"Since you just helped me, I won't keep it to myself."
Li Qingque said, "The Chaos Secret Realm is a treasure land born after the heavens and earth first opened. Even during the Archaic Era, it was contested by great powers.
"Even though millions of years have passed, and most treasures no longer exist, what remains is still enough to drive cultivators mad.
"Currently, the most precious inside are three.
"Firstly, the Chaos Green Lotus.
"I'm sure you've heard of it. It can reshape the Primordial Spirit and enhance aptitude and understanding, indispensable for those aspiring to become an Immortal Emperor.
"Secondly, the Taiyi Transport Silk.
"Even if an Immortal Saint doesn't possess Human Race fate, they can defy heaven and change fate with this item.
"Those with fate can more easily refine and absorb the fate of others if they obtain it.
"Thirdly, the Time Secret Realm.
"This is the blessed land left by the Taoist Ancestor of Time. Rumor has it that one day's cultivation inside equals a year outside.
"There's no need to compete for the other items. Obtaining any of these three is a significant gain."
"Thank you, Daoist, for the explanation."
Chen Sansi said, "It seems the Daoist is preparing for future proofing of the Immortal Emperor Path."
He remembered clearly.
The Li Qingque before him was indeed listed on the fate roster.
Which means.
There will surely be a contest between himself and the other.
Throughout his life, Chen Sansi has slain countless, yet he never kills the innocent indiscriminately, especially when the person before him is renowned as a 'righteous cultivator' and has no enmity with him.
Therefore…
It's best to set this aside for now.
Once the "Taiyi Transport Silk" is acquired, perhaps it's possible to just seize the fate without endangering life.
"Gentlemen."
Li Qingque proactively spoke, "To my knowledge, there are quite a few cultivators from the Demon, Demon, and Evil three realms within the Chaos Secret Realm, some even with quasi-emperor grade power.
"Alone, if besieged, it would be difficult to escape.
"So.
"I would like to invite you both to travel together; would the Daoist mind?"
"Mr. Li, not at all."
Chen Sansi courteously said, "You clearly know more about the Secret Realm than us, traveling together benefits my companion and me more than you.
"Since we've decided to join forces.
"Please, Mr. Li, lead the way.
"Where should we head next?"
Li Qingque pondered.
After carefully considering, he said, "The closest to us should be the Taiyi Transport Silk, come with me."
