Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

The golden chains continued to dissipate.

They are made entirely of energy, and they wouldn't be at a disadvantage even if they went head-to-head with the sun and moon.

Unfortunately, Li Changqing did not give these golden chains a chance to clash head-on.

As he continued to manipulate it, the sun wheel, which had originally occupied the dominant position, was replaced by the tai chi symbol beneath his feet.

He devoted all his energy to fighting against the thousands of chains.

The thousands upon thousands of golden chains also brought their power to its fullest extent.

Li Changqing, a powerful expert at the Supreme Realm, was unable to gain any advantage in this confrontation.

Not only that, he even felt suppressed.

"The formation connects the earth's veins throughout Lin'an City, so it's indeed very difficult to fight it head-on with brute force."

It wasn't just Li Changqing; any other expert at the Supreme Realm would likely have met the same fate.

They could not possibly contend with the power of heaven and earth.

The only way to fight is through treasures or tricks...

The power of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation was concentrated on the chains. Li Changqing secretly manipulated the Sun and Moon Wheels and found the weak point of the formation.

With a single move, "Heaven and Earth Burial," a huge hole was blasted into the formation space of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

Too much effort was put in at the beginning, and the supply was cut off later.

The Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation collapsed on its own without even needing to withstand any other attacks.

With the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation broken, the enormous golden space shattered.

With the foundation that originally supported the golden chains gone, the golden chains naturally vanished as well.

Li Changqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the fully formed Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation had not yet demonstrated its power, it is not difficult to see from this that the formation indeed has the capability to contend with Supreme Realm experts.

No wonder the patriarch of Qi was so at ease.

He clearly knew the power of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation and believed that Li Changqing alone would have to burn his own life essence to survive.

Otherwise, he would have a hard time escaping.

Unexpectedly, the opponent not only escaped, but also broke the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

The Three Souls and Seven Spirits Deadly Nails, which he had previously used as a trump card, failed to have any effect. Instead, he witnessed the terrifying ability of his opponent to regenerate severed limbs.

In this situation, the problem for the State of Qi was no longer just losing face.

They are likely to suffer huge losses.

Previously, the patriarch of Qi did not hold back, intending to destroy the possibility of the Supreme Regent advancing further.

Putting yourself in their shoes, any supreme-level expert would definitely seek revenge given the chance.

At this point, Li Changqing had already become a menacing figure in the eyes of the Qi State's patriarch.

He not only has reason to retaliate, but also the ability to do so.

Just as the old patriarch of Qi was thinking this, Li Changqing made his move.

Holding the sun and moon wheel, he walks on the wind.

He arrived in front of the patriarch of the Qi state almost instantly.

He held the sun-shaped scepter in front of him, responding to the moves of the Qi Kingdom's ancestor.

He transformed the other moon wheel into a crescent-shaped blade and instantly slashed towards the Qi patriarch.

The cold moonlight seemed to cleave everything in front of them in two.

Upon sensing the moon's attack, the Qi Kingdom's patriarch disregarded concealing his strength and immediately donned a suit of golden armor.

"Supreme Divine Artifact, Black Dragon Armor."

Its name is Black Dragon Armor, but its appearance is golden.

Although the Moon Wheel's attacks were fierce, it could not find any blind spots, and the two sides were deadlocked for a time.

The patriarch of Qi, clad in black dragon armor, sensed the remaining power around him.

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, he began to absorb the nutrients frantically.

His strength began to surge as he continuously absorbed power.

His cultivation level almost doubled.

It should be noted that the patriarch of the Qi Kingdom was himself a veteran Supreme Realm expert.

He possesses countless methods, and the Three Souls and Seven Spirits Deadly Nail is just one of them.

He has others.

Even so, the patriarch of Qi, who felt his own strength growing, still had a different idea.

His treasures were all just little trinkets.

It might have some effect on experts at the Supreme Realm, but the effect would be minimal.

Ultimately, strength is the most reliable factor.

Relying on the power gathered from the earth's veins, the ancestor of the Qi Kingdom achieved a breakthrough in strength.

But he also knew that this external power was only temporary. As the power faded, his strength would also be reduced.

But that's all for the future.

As things stand, he has indeed broken through to the peak of the Supreme Realm.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was probably in a similar situation.

Even the old ancestor of the Qi Kingdom was in a slightly better situation, after all, he possessed the cultivation of the Supreme Realm.

This means that it is relatively easy for him to manipulate the power of a supreme being at its peak.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was, after all, only a half-step Supreme Being.

Manipulating the power of the supreme peak is bound to be somewhat unsatisfactory.

The patriarch of the Qi state did not have this.

Sensing the increase in his strength, he drew his sword without hesitation and slashed at Li Changqing.

"Overlord's Blade Slash!"

A massive blade of light flashed, stretching for hundreds of feet.

The moment Li Changqing saw the blade's edge, his heart skipped a beat.

So strong!

Wow, so fast!!

The old patriarch of Qi gave him no time to react, forcing him to confront him head-on.

Li Changqing was also aware of the strength of the Qi Kingdom's patriarch, and he did not believe that he would necessarily be the one to suffer a loss.

"The left hand is yang and the right hand is yin; the fusion of yin and yang is called Tai Chi."

A huge Tai Chi pattern appeared, with a diameter exceeding one hundred feet.

Before the blade's edge had fully descended, a massive Tai Chi symbol appeared above it.

The two clashed head-on.

Li Changqing felt his breath suddenly pause. In a head-on clash, he had actually lost to the enormous blade of light before him.

How could that be?

Li Changqing found it unbelievable. He had seen the Qi Kingdom's patriarch make a move before and believed that the opponent's absolute strength could not possibly be stronger than his own.

They're about the same, at most.

Unexpectedly, the opponent unleashed power comparable to the peak of the Supreme Realm. Although this power was obtained through external force, it was still at the peak of the Supreme Realm.

This is Qi territory again.

Li Changqing knew he wouldn't gain anything by continuing the head-on confrontation.

"The green hills remain unchanged, the clear waters flow on forever, we'll meet again."

Using the force of the blade's edge, Li Changqing was sent flying backward.

The patriarch of Qi did not pursue them.

That last strike consumed almost a third of the power he had just absorbed.

That's definitely the attack power of a supreme peak.

Li Changqing, however, was able to withstand the attack without changing his expression, and he was even able to use the power of the blade's edge to retreat.

"Young people these days are really something else."

Having offended such a wicked star, the future of the Qi Kingdom is likely to be bleak.

Li Changqing suffered minor internal injuries.

His opponent was stronger than him, so it was impossible for him to avoid injury in a head-on confrontation.

Fortunately, there is the Tai Xuan Shen Zhao Jing (Scripture of Supreme Mystery).

As Li Changqing circulated his internal energy, he quickly returned to normal.
