Chapter 351: Lord of the North Province
At this critical moment, Nether Phoenix Immortal King did not have the time to think. Facing this extremely powerful Heaven Splitting Ax, she instinctively used her defensive divine power.
“Defensive Great Divine Power: Nether Phoenix Pagoda!”
In an instant, vast Dharmic powers condensed around Nether Phoenix Immortal King. The power of laws gathered and in an extremely short period of time, it condensed into a nine-story pagoda.
Observing carefully, on the nine-story tower were phoenixes of various forms. They were lifelike as if they were about to be revived.
The entire tower enveloped the Nether Phoenix Immortal King.
Qi Ming’s ax had already slashed down without any hesitation. It contained extremely powerful might and easily destroyed the Nether Phoenix Pagoda.
Nether Phoenix Immortal King let out a miserable cry as she spat out blood and was sent flying. Her injuries were not light to begin with, so she naturally could not withstand Qi Ming’s full-powered strike.
“Nether Phoenix Immortal King!” The Devouring Immortal King said in surprise.
“Red Dust Purgatory!”
Red Dust naturally did not hold back. He raised his right hand, and the power of the rules erupted. In his palm, it was as if a Purgatory World had appeared.
“No!!!”
The Devouring Immortal King was extremely terrified. He used all his might to devour the True Flame, but he was unable to defeat the Red Dust Purgatory. His entire body was devoured by it.
A miserable cry sounded.
Although the Devouring Immortal King was not weak and had grasped two great divine powers, he was naturally not his match against Red Dust, who cultivated the rules. He was completely suppressed.
Not long after, the Red Dust Karmic Fire burned his body and then burned his soul. Even his consciousness was completely burned to death by the Red Dust Karmic Fire.
His Devouring True Flame could not resist the Red Dust Karmic Fire.
The Devouring Immortal King completely died in the hands of Red Dust.
“Attack!”
At the same time, Qi Ming’s gaze was cold as he quickly attacked the Nether Phoenix Immortal King. He mobilized his powerful Dharmic powers, and the heavily injured Nether Phoenix Immortal King was not Qi Ming’s match at all.
Qi Ming chased after her and destroyed all techniques with a single ax. He used the Myriad Techniques Return to One and resolved all of Nether Phoenix Immortal King’s divine power methods.
She was completely suppressed.
If the Nether Phoenix Immortal King was not heavily injured at her peak and her Intrinsic Immortal Treasure did not self-destruct, Qi Ming would find it very difficult to capture her and might even lose.
But now…
The Nether Phoenix Immortal King was heavily injured. In order to escape, she had even detonated his Intrinsic Immortal Treasure. Her strength had long fallen, so she was naturally not Qi Ming’s match.
Qi Ming’s ax landed and shattered all of Nether Phoenix Immortal King’s defense. The extremely terrifying Chaos Ax Light could even shatter space.
The Nether Phoenix Immortal King screamed. She was slashed at the waist by Qi Ming, and blood splattered in the sky. It was extremely painful. A destructive power rushed into her body and destroyed her life force.
“Dao Slaying Technique!”
Qi Ming’s gaze was cold. He held the Chaos Great Ax and quickly slashed at Nether Phoenix Immortal King again. The chaotic ax light soared into the sky and easily cut off the top three flowers of Nether Phoenix Immortal King, destroying her cultivation.
“No!!!” The Nether Phoenix Immortal King was extremely afraid. She could clearly sense that her cultivation was falling, that her Dharmic powers were dissipating, and her hundreds of thousands of years of bitter cultivation had been destroyed.
“Supreme Karma Technique.”
Qi Ming’s killing intent was very strong. He quickly waved two more ax lights and shattered Nether Phoenix Immortal King’s providence and merit. Then, he used the Great Calamity Technique to attract the Heavenly Human Five Declines.
“Ah!!”
The Nether Phoenix Immortal King screamed. Her head of white hair was incomparably old in the blink of an eye, like an old woman that was about to die. Under the furious roar of unwillingness, she transformed into ash and dissipated in the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, in the battle that happened on the shore of the Life River, Qi Ming was chased by the nine Upper World Immortal Kings who cultivated the Laws. An extremely terrifying battle erupted, and the commotion was extremely great.
In the surroundings, it had already attracted the attention of many immortals in the Life River Immortal City.
They looked over.
The outcome of the battle exceeded their expectations.
They did not expect this.
Qi Ming was actually so powerful. He was even protected by an Upper World Immortal King who cultivated the Rules. In a short period of time, he killed nine Upper World Immortal Kings who cultivated the Laws.
Such results and such news were already enough to shake the entire Nine Provinces Domain.
“Go!”
Qi Ming took a deep breath. Although he had resolved the nine Upper World Immortal Kings who cultivated the Laws, he did not feel that the danger had passed. Instead, he became more and more alarmed.
Somehow, it was as if a calamity was about to arrive.
“Yes!”
Red Dust nodded in response. He also felt that something was amiss. Red Dust was an Upper World Immortal King who cultivated the rules, so he naturally sensed the danger and calamity.
Without any hesitation, Qi Ming and Red Dust used escape techniques. Their bodies transformed into two streaks of light that entered the space and flew towards the Life River. They wanted to cross the Life River and leave the North Province.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Ming and Red Dust arrived above the Life River. They indeed felt an extremely profound power surge out of the Life River that tried to affect their bodies.
Qi Ming and Red Dust had profound cultivations. Qi Ming circulated the Myriad Techniques Return to One and resolved the power of the Life River. Red Dust protected his body with the power of the Red Dust Three Thousand Worlds.
The Life River could not affect them.
“Fellow Daoists…”
The next moment, Qi Ming and Hongchen heard a voice coming from the Life River. They lowered their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. What greeted their eyes was a slightly dilapidated boat that floated on the Life River and followed the waves.
Only the Life River Tree’s wood could make ships that floated across the Life River.
On the bow of the dilapidated boat, a figure wearing a bamboo hat sat cross-legged. Because his back was facing Qi Ming and the mortal world, his appearance could not be seen clearly, and only his back was visible.
This feeling was like a hazy scene of rain.
It was quite extraordinary.
They observed carefully.
It was as if the entire boat had fused into the world, as if it had completely formed a dream-like painting.
“Since you’re here, why are you in a hurry to leave?”
The figure sitting cross-legged at the bow raised his right hand and raised the fishing rod in his hand. He happened to fish up what looked like an ordinary red fish from the Life River.
In the blink of an eye, the fish with the red tail landed in his hand and was put into the fish cage.
At this moment, he slowly put away the fishing rod.
However, Qi Ming discovered that the hook of his fishing rod was not a curved fish hook, but a straight fish hook. He was slightly stunned. How could a straight fish hook be used to fish?
Most importantly, the other party had actually really caught a red-tailed fish.
Of course, there was also another thing.
The fish in the Life River was naturally not an ordinary fish.
“You are?” Qi Ming’s gaze was slightly solemn.
Qi Ming could not see through this bamboo hat fisherman. He was enveloped in a layer of fog and was too mysterious.
Red Dust’s expression tensed up, and his expression was extremely solemn. He blocked in front of Qi Ming, “The other party is very strong, very strong. If the situation is amiss, I’ll do my best to stop him. Master, you can find an opportunity to leave when the time comes.”
“!!!” Qi Ming was shocked.
Unexpectedly, this person wearing a bamboo hat was actually able to make Red Dust so vigilant and cautious. From this, it could be seen that he was really not ordinary.
“Life River Boat, Fishing Old Man, Lord of the North, Fate is unpredictable.”
This fisherman wearing a bamboo hat turned around and faced Qi Ming. He slowly raised his head and revealed an old face under the bamboo hat.
His face was filled with wrinkles and age.
It was a white-haired elder.
He was not tall and was even a little hunched.
“He… he… he’s the Lord of the North Province!”
“Gasp…”
“This… this…”
“I’ve long heard the corresponding legend. In the Life River, there’s a Life River Boat floating. The Lord of the North Province rode the Life River Boat to fish on the Life River. Fate is unpredictable, and those who are willing will be hooked. Many immortals have encountered the Lord of the North Province. Some obtained opportunities from him and soared into the sky. They could not be stopped, but some died inexplicably.”
“I didn’t expect the Lord of the North Province to appear here.”
“Could it be that the Lord of the North Province came to deal with Heaven Enlightenment?”
“Impressive!”
“You have to know that during this period of time, Heaven Enlightenment has indeed raised a huge wave in the entire Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty. It has already entered the Nine Provinces Immortal Execution List. Many factions are discussing this matter. They even guess that Heaven Enlightenment is the catalyst for the Epoch Calamity. It’s the prelude to this calamity.”
“Through the battle just now, Heaven Enlightenment is indeed worthy of causing such a commotion in the Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty. After all, eleven Upper World Immortal Kings have died in the hands of Heaven Enlightenment.”
In the surroundings, many immortals and living beings looked over and saw the situation. They were all discussing.
“Lord of the North Province.” Qi Ming’s gaze was slightly solemn, but he also calmed down, “The Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty is more determined than I thought. Not only did they send nine Upper World Immortal Kings who cultivate the laws to surround and kill me, but they even let you, the dignified Lord of the North Province, preside over the River of Life.”
“Fishing?” Qi Ming said, “Are you waiting for a fish to take the bait?”
“That’s right.” The old man nodded slightly and did not deny it. Instead, he said bluntly, “My name is Jiang Taiyu, the Lord of the North Province. I rode the boat to fish and followed the waves to this place. I was waiting for a fish who would willingly take the bait.”
Qi Ming took a deep breath and looked at the other party coldly, “Why didn’t you attack just now? If you attacked, those Upper World Immortal Kings would not have died.”
“Why should I attack?” Jiang Taiyu smiled, “Whether they live or die has nothing to do with me. They died because their cultivation levels were insufficient. The Epoch Calamity is about to begin, so they only accepted their fate early.”
“If you had died instead of them…” Jiang Taiyu smiled again and said, “That’s even better. Then I don’t have to do anything.”
Jiang Taiyu looked at Qi Ming and restrained the smile on his face, “Will you surrender yourself or do I have to capture you?”
“Forget it.” Jiang Taiyu shook his head, “A figure like you will probably not be willing to surrender. Therefore, you don’t have to answer. I’ll personally attack..”
