Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

A fighting spirit not only withstood its attack, but also injured it!

This completely overturned its understanding!

In particular, the strange flame contained within the palm print was so potent that even its devouring power could not be quickly neutralized.

At this moment, it could no longer care about the possible existence of the "mysterious powerhouse"; its intense anger and violent ferocity completely overwhelmed everything!

"hiss--!"

A sharp, tearing screech rang out, and the massive body of the Devouring Demon Serpent unleashed an astonishing speed that belied its enormous size!

However, faced with this overwhelming and imminent death, Xiao Qing's eyes remained cold and unwavering.

A low-level Earth-rank movement technique, Phoenix Dance Free Movement!

Just as the snake's body was about to close and its fangs were about to touch him, Xiao Qing's footwork changed mysteriously, and he used his Earth-rank movement technique to its fullest extent!

His figure became blurred, like willow catkins in the wind or a phoenix in the fire, moving swiftly within a small space with a nimbleness that almost defied the laws of physics!

scoff!

The snake's constricting attack missed its mark, and its terrifying force crushed a giant rock on the spot into dust!

The sharp fangs snapped shut, but only tore apart a slowly dissipating afterimage!

Xiao Qing's true form had already appeared like a ghost, a dozen feet outside the killing circle.

"Your speed is not good enough!"

Xiao Qing's cold voice rang out, tinged with a hint of mockery.

"impossible!"

The Devouring Demon Serpent was filled with shock and rage, unable to comprehend how a mere Battle Spirit could possess such a bizarre Earth-rank movement technique.

"How do you possess so many Earth-rank combat techniques?!"

The Devouring Demon Serpent roared, a sense of fear beginning to rise in its heart.

This is a much more precious Earth-rank movement technique than any other cultivation method or fighting skill of the same level!

Without hesitation, the Devouring Demon Serpent, seeing its attack miss, raised its massive tail once more, carrying even more ferocious power, and smashed down on Xiao Qing like a mountain!

At the same time, its scales opened and closed, and its devouring power erupted at full force, attempting to disrupt the energy flow around Xiao Qing and slow down his movements.

Xiao Qing's eyes sharpened, and his fighting spirit gathered wildly at his fingertips, suddenly revealing a sense of desolation and decay that caused all things to wither!

Earth-rank low-level combat skill - Annihilation Finger!

As the shout fell, a gigantic energy finger, several meters in size, materialized out of thin air. Its tip was wreathed in a chilling aura of decay, as if it had been drawn from the ancient past. Carrying a destructive wave, it fiercely attacked the Devouring Demon Serpent!

The Devouring Demon Serpent hissed, unleashing a surge of dark battle energy that formed a thick barrier in an attempt to withstand the attack.

boom--!

The giant finger collided violently with the barrier, unleashing a deafening roar!

Terrifying energy ripples spread out like a storm, impacting the surrounding void, cracking the ground, and sending debris flying.

However, the power of Earth-rank combat skills far exceeds imagination!

The Annihilation Finger Force actually tore through the dark barrier. Although its power was greatly reduced, it still struck the hard scales of the Devouring Demon Serpent with deadly force.

boom!

Its scales shattered, and a force containing the meaning of annihilation penetrated its body, causing the Devouring Demon Serpent to let out a painful hiss, and its huge body was also shaken and slid backward.

As the aftershocks of the energy dissipated and the dust settled, the man and the snake once again faced off from a distance.

The oppressive atmosphere that filled the air was almost tangible.

Another Earth-rank combat skill!

The previous head-on clash was merely a touchstone for Xiao Qing to test his own combat strength.

Now, he has a clear idea...

It's time to end this!

"Fighting spirit is not my only method."

Xiao Qing felt a chill in his heart.

"My soul power at the late stage of the mortal realm is the true killing weapon!"

The soul power of a late-stage mortal realm cultivator is enough to make many Dou Zong powerhouses take notice!

Suddenly, an invisible yet immense pressure emanated from Xiao Qing's body!

A faint light flashed between his brows, and a powerful soul force surged forth, rapidly condensing and compressing in the void in front of him!

In the blink of an eye, an arrow about a foot long, completely transparent, yet emanating a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine, suddenly took shape!

Mysterious runes flowed faintly over the arrow, locking onto the soul essence of the Devouring Demon Serpent!

Mid-level Profound Rank Soul Skill - Soul-Destroying Arrow!

"Wait! Kid, what do you think you're doing?!"

Just as the Soul-Destroying Arrow was formed, the massive body of the Devouring Demon Serpent suddenly stiffened!

A fear originating from the deepest part of its soul instantly seized it!

That was a premonition of death more terrifying than the destruction of the physical body!

Its blood-red pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and it roared in utter terror!

Although it could not see the arrow of the soul, it could sense an unprecedented deadly threat from this invisible arrow!

It finally understood that the human's greatest strength was not that strange flame battle aura, but that unpredictable soul attack!

As the transparent arrow, radiating a deadly soul aura, was about to solidify completely, fear and madness intertwined in the Devouring Serpent's blood-red pupils!

It clearly sensed that if this arrow were to be shot, its soul would be severely damaged, and might even be annihilated!

It wanted to force Xiao Qing to interrupt his soul skill to defend or dodge!

If Xiao Qing's mind wanders even slightly, the Soul-Destroying Arrow he has condensed will inevitably dissipate, and he may even suffer a backlash!

But it was too late!

Xiao Qing's soul attack came faster than it had expected!

Soul-Destroying Arrow, go!

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Qing's eyes, and his mental power, locked onto the soul essence of the Devouring Demon Serpent, suddenly erupted!

The Soul-Destroying Arrow, suspended in the air and imbued with his immense soul power from the late mortal realm, had already issued a silent declaration of death!

A silent shriek vanished into thin air in an instant!

It is not a physical entity, yet it is more lethal than any physical attack.

The arrows ignored the hard scales, the powerful dark battle aura, and all the physical defenses and energy protection of the Devouring Demon Serpent!

Like a streak of ethereal light, it pierced through the barriers of matter and energy, instantly and precisely penetrating the head of the Devouring Demon Serpent, striking straight at its very soul!

This is not the disappearance of physical speed, but a distance that directly penetrates space and reaches the depths of its soul!

"No--!!!"

The Devouring Serpent only had time to let out a soul-piercing howl filled with extreme terror before the destructive soul arrow pierced its head!

An invisible storm of soul energy raged within its skull, destroying the very source of its consciousness!

"puff--"

A soft sound, as if something was breaking inside, could be heard.

The enormous body of the Devouring Demon Serpent suddenly stiffened, as if it had been frozen in mid-air by a spell.

His blood-red eyes instantly lost all their luster, rapidly dimming and dissipating at a visible speed, leaving only boundless pain and emptiness.

Its massive body suddenly stiffened in mid-air, its fallen snake tail drooped limply, and its gaping maw froze in place, unable to close again.

The next moment, this enormous snake body, tens of meters long and now devoid of its soul master, crashed to the ground with a terrifying weight, like a puppet with its strings cut!

boom!!!

The earth trembled violently, and dust billowed into the sky...

Mid-level Profound Rank Soul Skill - Soul-Destroying Arrow, effective in one strike!

The Devouring Serpent, a sixth-tier magical beast equivalent to a human Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) level expert, has perished!

Its ambition, and its protection of the Soul-Soothing Moonflower, were all annihilated by this arrow of the soul.

The valley fell into a deathly silence, with only the whistling of the wind through the ruins and the gradually dissipating soul fluctuations proving what a breathtaking, cross-level kill had just taken place.

Standing alone on the ruins, Xiao Qing slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and cast his gaze toward the deep cave.

The obstacles have been cleared!
