Chapter 215: The Unlucky Jiang Jili
"Whoosh!"
The seawater around Jiang Ji's body suddenly roiled violently, with terrifying energy fluctuations shattering the waters within a hundred zhang radius instantly.
Under the dreadful sound of parting waters, the small earth-yellow ball that was surging towards him turned into a thick yellow mist, and entered his body through the orifices of his mouth and nose.
Jiang Ji's body violently began to tremble, and the coarse Daoist robe he was wearing suddenly emitted a blue glow. The blue light shone brightly and then faded, revealing that the coarse Daoist robe had transformed.
It was now a robe of deep purple, the material of which was unknown. The purple on it flowed like ripples, shimmering with a gentle gleam, with the mysterious and marvelous Eight Diagrams Array Diagram faintly visible. It exuded a profound Daoist essence, graceful as an immortal yet dazzlingly luxurious; clearly, it was a robe of the Innate Spiritual Treasure Level.
"Innate Spiritual Treasure, Eight Diagrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe!" Li Qingming, with a sharp eye, immediately recognized this Innate Spiritual Treasure.
What puzzled him was that the Eight Diagrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, which was originally the Protective Spirit Treasure of Guang Chengzi, had somehow made its way to this Titan World. How curious and strange!
Indeed, as an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the earth-yellow ball, formed by the power of the Earth Rules, after firmly protecting Jiang Ji, turned into a stream of yellow liquid that shot out from his hands.
Pale-faced, almost completely drained of his mental energy, Jiang Ji looked fiercely at the Killing Array below and said, "As long as you do not break the Array, everything within it is under my control. Go to hell, everyone! Space Annihilation!"
Exhausting his last bit of energy and despite severe injuries, Jiang Ji activated the Complete Heaven God and Ghost Kill Array's Space Power in an attempt to completely annihilate everyone within the Great Formation.
"Boom!"
Within the Killing Array, terrifying spatial fluctuations suddenly burst forth, silver beams of light tearing the entire water region apart, causing all the jade stones above everyone's heads to no longer withstand the Killing Array and burst one by one, turning instantly into dust.
Seeing this, the thousands of Daoist Cultivators and warriors from the Netherworld God Clan guarding the Array turned pale with fear.
To avoid being harmed by the collapse of the Great Formation, without waiting for an order from Jiang Ji, they simultaneously retreated thirty sea miles and watched from a distance.
Seeing this, Jiang Ji was furiously enraged and cursed, "You bunch of idiots, trash! Quickly go and guard the Array. If anything goes wrong, I will annihilate all your clans!"
The many guardians looked at each other, not taking Jiang Ji's words to heart at all. Escaping this predicament was uncertain for anyone, so who would care about his threats of annihilating clans?
With the absence of those guarding the Array and the sudden burst of Space Rule Power, the well-tempered Great Formation disintegrated instantly, no longer existing.
"Boom~~~"
As the Great Formation collapsed, the violent spatial fluctuations did not cease, but rather became even more ferocious and terrifying.
The immense tearing force churned the entire sea area wildly, the colossal energy causing the seafloor to upheave and sway unpredictably.
Jiang Ji was stunned; he had never imagined that even after the Complete Heaven God and Ghost Killing Array was broken, the energy within would still be so violently turbulent.
Li Qingming, seeing the spatial fluctuations getting closer and closer to everyone, accumulating enough power to rival the full energy of a Saint, showed no worry at all. Instead, he turned to the people behind him and asked, "Yin Xi, Xiao Er... Do you think this Water Prison has any protective prohibitions?"
Long Xuhu, seeing Li Qingming still nonchalant, hastily said, "Oh my, my great elder brother, my dear biological brother, this is not the time to worry about that! Let's resolve this crisis first!"
Li Qingming glanced sideways at Long Xuhu and said to the people, "I bet this Water Prison has a protective array, an Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
Long Xuhu, feeling anxious and seeing the smiling crowd, said impulsively without much thought, "I'll bet against you, three Nine Revolutions Golden Pills gifted by our Master!"
Li Qingquan heard this and laughed, saying, "Alright, I'll be the fair judge!"
"Hahaha, Xu Hu, you're surely going to lose! Watch closely!" Li Qingming laughed heartily, waving his hands as black light flickered, and the ancient and profound Qiankun Gourd quietly appeared in his palm.
Watching the increasingly violent silver Space Power before them, Li Qingming tossed the gourd and shouted, "Heaven and Earth, shifting of the stars! Suppress!"
"Buzz!"
The mouth of the gourd opened wide, a rich golden light flashed on the black gourd, and a shining "Dao" rune emerged from the protruding belly of the gourd.
Different from the usual absorbing power of the gourd, an extremely violent Black Rebounding Force suddenly burst out from the mouth of the gourd, shooting straight towards the Space Power.
As they collided, tremendous energy fluctuations split the sea into two halves, the Black Rebounding Force like starlight pouring down from the heavenly vault, boundless and vast. The Space Power was no match for it at all.
"Bang!"
The violent Space Power was pushed thousands of miles away by the Black Rebounding Force, flying directly towards the distant Water Prison.
"Buzz!"
Just as the force of space was about to crash into the water prison, golden array energy surged out from the walls once again, hurtling towards the space force.
In an instant, within a hundred miles, except for the water prison which remained unscathed due to the protection of the array prohibition, all mountains, vegetation, and creatures within a hundred miles were shredded into fragments, leaving no trace of bones.
"Ha... I told you there was a prohibition protecting it!" Seeing this scene, Li Qingming excitedly clapped his hands and said.
Long Xuhu stared blankly at the unharmed water prison a thousand miles away, murmuring somewhat despondently, "My Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, my Immortal Pills, my pills..."
Li Qingquan, somewhat gloating, patted Long Xuhu on the shoulder, casually wiping his hand over him, a finely crafted white jade bottle appeared in his hand, saying, "You agreed to the bet; accept the loss!"
Long Xuhu's face twitched, his eyes widened he swung his hand at Emperor Jiang, shouting, "You damned guy, this is all your fault! If it wasn't for you setting up the array in the water prison, would I have lost those three Nine Revolutions Golden Pills? Three of them, three whole ones!"
Still immersed in the formidable power of that spatial force from earlier, Emperor Jiang was very unfortunate! He became Long Xuhu's punching bag without even doing anything.
When rapid sounds of water splitting suddenly reached his ears, he abruptly woke up. But what welcomed him was a palm as big as a banana leaf, containing the mighty power of Nine-Turned Power!
"Slap!"
At this moment, Emperor Jiang had no longer enough True Yuan in his body to activate the Eight Diagrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe.
Hearing a slap that pierced through the sea, Emperor Jiang, in his purple Daoist robe, was slapped flying by Long Xuhu, a torrent of fresh blood spilling from his mouth and nose, staining the sea red.
"Still want to run? Run my a**!" Seeing Emperor Jiang's figure disappearing into the dark sea, Long Xuhu panicked, thinking he was trying to escape, and immediately cut through the waters, transforming into a fish to pursue him.
"Run, I'll let you run!" Catching up to Emperor Jiang, who still had crimson blood trickling from his mouth, Long Xuhu kicked him with a Vigorous Vajra Kick.
Thus, a new round of brutality began!
...
After a time span of a cup of tea, when Long Xuhu came back holding Emperor Jiang, whose cultivation had been sealed, battered black and blue, even his Eight Diagrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe stripped off, everyone had already dealt with all the surrounding Taoist cultivators and warriors of the Netherworld God Clan.
Holding a small yellow banner, Li Qingming said, "Emperor Jiang, I suppose, can you tell me where you got this Central Earth Yellow Banner used for setting up the array?"
Central Earth Yellow Banner?
Yes, this small banner was none other than the renowned Central Earth Yellow Banner from Li Qingming's past life, a divine supreme treasure!
"The yellow banner, mine! It's mine!" Emperor Jiang snatched it wildly, struggling violently from Long Xuhu's grip on his neck, trying to snatch the yellow banner from Li Qingming's hands.
"Behave yourself!" Long Xuhu's face darkened as he gave this guy a slap.
"Thump!"
With a loud sound, Emperor Jiang was slapped into the ground by Long Xuhu, stirring up countless vapors.
Li Qingming signaled Long Xuhu to pull Emperor Jiang out again and asked, "Well! If you tell me how you got this yellow banner, I won't kill you!"
Emperor Jiang, being quite tough, glared at Li Qingming resentfully, turned his head away, and refused to speak.
Seeing this, Li Qingming shook his head, his right hand waved, and the fingers on his hand gradually became transparent, strands of Yuqing True Essence swirling out from the transparent fingers, transforming into dozens of ferocious little ghost faces jumping around in his palm.
Slowly bringing his palm close to the top of Emperor Jiang's skull, Li Qingming revealed a brilliant smile and said, "Although I can use the Soul Searching Technique, I have recently developed a method of soul lashing named 'Soul Torture'. It's actually quite simple; it involves forcibly pulling out your soul from your Primordial Spirit and then interrogating it! Of course, doing so might shatter one's soul, but I should get the information I want!"
Seeing the dozens of ferocious little ghost faces in Li Qingming's palm cheerfully jumping around, Emperor Jiang shivered violently, his face turning green, pleading with a whimpering tone, "Speak, I'll speak... Keep them away from me, keep them away!"
Li Qingming's smile grew even brighter, and he lightly grabbed, retracting these little ghost faces.
Actually, he didn't have any 'Soul Torture' technique; this was just a bluff by Li Qingming to scare him. If this guy still refused to speak, he would have really had to use the Soul Searching Technique.
"Speak then, how did you come by this Central Earth Yellow Banner, and your Eight Diagrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe?" Li Qingming asked lightly, looking at Emperor Jiang.
Emperor Jiang trembled and said, "This, no, it was bestowed by my father."
"Emperor Jiang?" Li Qingming curiously asked, "Isn't Emperor Jiang just a title? What's your father's real name?"
Emperor Jiang glanced around, noticing everyone curiously watching him, he helplessly said, "My father's surname is Jiang, given name Shang, styled Zi Ya, titled Emperor Jiang!"(To be continued.
