Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

From the moment Ning Qi took out the Blood King Gu to the moment he struck with force, it was all a matter of seconds, rendering others unable to react in time.

Skinny Elder could only gather the Power of Heaven and Earth by his side before the Great Hand Seal dispersed it.

Fortunately, Skinny Elder's face flushed red, and a faint hiss echoed from within his body. In that instant, a series of mysterious black Iron Armor manifested on his skin, covering his entire body.

"Boom!"

The sound of tremors from the fierce impact reverberated.

Skinny Elder's body was violently flung, crashing through one stone pillar after another and even piercing through a wall.

Ning Qi narrowed his eyes.

He could sense that his palm strike didn't result in the expected outcome. Though it struck well, Skinny Elder's aura hadn't diminished much and still retained some combat capability, unlike Fatty Elder, who was nearly half-dead with one blow.

"What is that Iron Armor?" Ning Qi felt a sense of caution rising.

In an instant.

He entered the Realm of Celestial Being Unity, and the Fake Pill at his heart also continuously vibrated, gathering abundant Power of Heaven and Earth.

Previously, he hadn't used the Power of Heaven and Earth for the sake of a sneak attack. Now that the battle had begun, he naturally had to employ all his means, holding nothing back.

Dark green aura surged around Ning Qi, enveloping his burly figure, appearing somewhat sinister.

With a slight wave of his hand, streams of toxic Gang Qi dispersed.

The many Primordial Core Realm experts, who were initially gaping in shock, all trembled violently in their bodies, revealing expressions of horror. Their inner Primordial Cores quaked, and they attempted to resist by releasing their own Gang Qi. However, the gap was too vast; Ning Qi's Gang Qi was far more overwhelming than theirs combined, not to mention augmented by the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Screams rang out.

These Primordial Core Realm warriors were already severely injured, their bones completely shattered. They lay on the ground, barely clinging to life, each one looking at Ning Qi in terror.

Ning Qi unleashed several consecutive Poisonous Great Hand Seals, hurling them toward where Skinny Elder had fallen.

"Who exactly are you?!"

A sullen, angry shout emanated from the crumbling structure.

Skinny Elder emerged with disheveled hair, looking extremely disheveled.

His eyes were filled with sinister rage; if not for his Lifebound Gu Insect, which specialized in defense and was the Iron Armor Gu, the sudden strike just now might have critically injured him.

But even so, he was not in good condition.

He forcefully withstood the blow.

The Iron Armor Gu within him was in a withered state, needing time to recover.

By now, it was clear to him.

The person in front of him was not the Fatty Elder he knew. The real Fatty Elder had likely met with misfortune, for he knew that Fatty Elder's Lifebound Gu was not adept at defense. If he faced an attack like his own, he wouldn't have stood a chance.

Skinny Elder was both furious and startled; the opponent's mysterious Transform ability instilled fear in him.

Ning Qi looked at Skinny Elder with indifferent eyes and simply gave a sinister laugh:

"You desire to know this lord's name? You are unworthy!"

With a wave of his hand, a series of poisonous seals were unleashed in rapid succession, with green poison mist spreading around, filling the air with a foul stench. Even if Wang Elder of the Demon Sect were resurrected, it wouldn't be more remarkable than this.

Skinny Elder raged:

"Fine, fine, today I shall unveil your true identity and see what manner of demon or monster you are!"

The two engaged in intense combat.

Waves of Power of Heaven and Earth erupted and clashed within the grand hall.

The ground quaked and mountains shook.

The terrifying commotion shocked everyone outside.

They watched the grand hall nervously, entirely ignorant of the events transpiring within.

Then.

They saw two figures soaring into the sky, locked in combat.

"Is that Fatty Elder and Skinny Elder?!"

No one could believe their eyes, not understanding why the two Elders suddenly turned against each other.

Waves of Power of Heaven and Earth reverberated in the sky, the mere aftermath riddling the stronghold with countless wounds, affecting many. Some died on the spot.

Ning Qi felt no psychological burden; these people deserved to die.

Skinny Elder's eyes were cold as he shouted angrily:

"Everyone heed my command, Fatty Elder has been harmed, this one is an impostor, all of you assist me in capturing him!"

As the fight dragged on, he grew increasingly alarmed.

At first, sensing the force of the sneak attack was within his coping range, and he suffered only because it was a surprise. But in the actual exchange, he realized he underestimated the man before him.

Even at his peak, he feared he was no match for this person.

Currently disadvantaged, his condition had significantly declined. Without fully activating his Lifebound Gu, he would have been crushed.

But now, he was in a dire state, spitting blood repeatedly from the beatings.

He already harbored the intention to retreat.

His call for assistance wasn't to defeat Ning Qi but merely to delay him a bit longer.

Everyone at the stronghold looked at Ning Qi in awe; initially, some doubted Skinny Elder's words. However, as the two exchanged blows and Ning Qi revealed Martial Arts not of Fatty Elder, some recognized it.

That was not Fatty Elder's Ultimate Skill.

"Fatty Elder is an impostor; quickly assist Skinny Elder!" someone shouted in fury.

Yet, a Poisonous Finger Seal instantly struck down this Jade Liquid Realm expert, killing him on the spot, silencing the others into submission. A few recklessly launched attacks, but they were as futile as ants shaking a tree.

Ning Qi's eyes were indifferent.

He had roughly gauged the strength of this Skinny Elder, slightly inferior to that of Elder Wang back then.
