Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Life is snatched away, the realm of death descends, and the void collapses inch by inch!

That finger, though seemingly slow, was actually swift, reaching the King of Qi in the blink of an eye.

The King of Qi's pupils suddenly contracted.

This finger strike came without warning, just like a ray of light piercing the sky at the beginning of time.

It contains Buddhist teachings, which are silent yet contain immense power capable of tearing through the void.

This Dongxuan Zhenjun, who had roamed the world for nearly a thousand years, was suddenly shocked to discover that in this tiny land of Yan Kingdom, there was actually a cultivator of the same realm as him!

"How dare you!"

The King of Qi roared in shock and anger, his magical power surging like a volcano, his eyes reflecting the void, instantly discerning all the mysteries, determined to obliterate that finger.

If it were a cultivator of other realms, all their magical powers and supernatural abilities would have long since vanished under the might of the Cave Profound True Monarch.

However, Qin Zijun was also a True Lord of the Cave Profound Realm. His Buddha-like eyes also revealed profound secrets. In the boundless void, he detected the aura of the King of Qi and locked onto it completely!

The King of Qi truly lived up to his reputation as the True Lord of the Cave Profound Realm, who had lived for nearly a thousand years. Even when ambushed from the shadows, he managed to dissipate most of the power of Qin Zijun's finger strike in the heat of the moment.

But the residual force of that finger still crossed the sky and struck the body of the King of Qi.

"puff!"

With a muffled groan, blood gushed out, and the body of the King of Qi was as if it had been struck by an ancient divine mountain, shattering the void.

After flying backwards in the void for an unknown amount of time, the King of Qi finally managed to stabilize himself, his figure solidifying as he appeared before the numerous soldiers and powerful figures from both countries.

At this moment, the soldiers of both countries had long since stopped their attack and were all looking up at the battle between the two Dongxuan True Lords that was causing the void to crack.

They murmured silently, as if they also knew that the outcome of the battle between the two True Lords of the Cave Mystery would determine their survival.

The King of Qi was pale, and there was a bloody hole in his body.

Such injuries were of no concern to Dongxuan Zhenjun. What truly troubled him was the unfamiliar Dao Law that the other party had pierced into his body with his fingertips.

This wisp of the Great Dao Law ravaged his life force, preventing him from integrating his essence, energy, and spirit, and making it difficult for him to unleash his full potential.

"Such a young True Lord of the Cave Profound Realm...who are you?"

The King of Qi had a deep look in his eyes and shouted sternly.

He could tell at a glance that Qin Zijun was really young, with a bone age of no more than twenty-something, yet he had already cultivated to the level of Dongxuan Zhenjun. How was that possible?

Qin Zijun clasped her hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "This humble monk's Dharma name is Mingxiang."

If I am defeated, with the abilities of the ruler of Qi, he will surely discover my true identity, and Kongxiang Temple will definitely be destroyed.

Since that's the case, there's no need to hide it.

Kongxiang Temple treated him well, so Qin Zijun naturally wanted to repay the kindness by making the temple famous throughout the world.

He knew that he was a newcomer to the Dongxuan realm and no match for this veteran Dongxuan True Monarch. In addition, his combat experience was not as rich as his opponent's, which was why he had been calmly lying in ambush.

The ruler of Qi was indeed arrogant, thinking himself invincible, which is why he was able to be ambushed by him.

Now that the King of Qi is seriously injured, the two are essentially back on equal footing.

"Did you instigate the celestial calamity that struck the Yan Kingdom not long ago?"

The King of Qi had a ferocious expression, blood gushing from the hole in his chest, and he asked through gritted teeth.

"It is indeed this humble monk. Since Your Majesty knew that someone from the Yan Kingdom was undergoing tribulation, why were you still so careless and allowed this humble monk to launch a sneak attack?"

Qin Zijun was also surprised that she was able to launch such an easy sneak attack.

The number of people who witnessed his tribulation that day was immense; the ruler of Qi could not possibly be unaware of it.

"Haha, I underestimated the people of this world!"

"I know perfectly well how many Outer Realm cultivators there are in the Yan Kingdom. Those Outer Realm cultivators are all mediocre and could never possibly succeed in transcending the tribulation and achieving the Cave Profound Realm."

"I thought some of the outer realm cultivators were unwilling to die, so they forcibly broke through, and should have ended up dying and disappearing."

"I never expected that the Yan Kingdom would have such a remarkably talented monk as you; this has truly exceeded my expectations!"

The King of Qi's eyes were filled with rage. He stared at the monk in front of him, dressed in black with a handsome face that seemed otherworldly, and wished he could tear him to pieces.

He reigned supreme for a thousand years, and no other Dongxuan Zhenjun had ever appeared on this land. He was the sole overlord, like a high and mighty god who regarded all living beings as nothing.

Unexpectedly, due to his carelessness, he was ambushed by a young man.

Young people these days really have no sense of martial ethics!

"You little bald monk, with such talent, why don't you go into seclusion to cultivate and strive for a higher realm? Why do you insist on getting involved in worldly affairs and working for that brat from Yan?"

"If that's the case, then I'll send you to see Buddha, so you'll regret being born!"

"Die!"

The King of Qi roared, and suddenly, a national destiny surged forth from the direction of Qi like a raging flood.

These national destinies converged and transformed into a terrifying bird over a thousand feet long—a Vermilion Bird!

This is precisely the magical power of cultivators of the dynasty, manipulating the nation's fortune and destiny into techniques. It embodies the will to cover the heavens above, the power of the land in the middle, and the wishes of all people below, possessing incredible power.

However, the advantages and disadvantages of the Yun Chao technique are both very obvious.

If the ruler of Qi were to use magic within Qi, his power would be amplified, and he could even fight two True Lords of the same realm single-handedly.

Even Qin Zijun would never dare to fight him in the heart of Qi.

But now, in this border region between Yan and Qi, the Qi king's magical powers cannot increase dramatically, which gives Qin Zijun an opportunity.

As soon as the Vermilion Bird, the embodiment of the nation's destiny, appeared, Southern Bright Fire fell from the void, causing the soldiers of Qi and Yan to retreat in fear.

Even experts at the outer realm level changed their expressions and dared not make contact.

The residual power of Dongxuan Zhenjun's magic and supernatural abilities was enough to crush them.

If the ruler of Qi wished, he could easily kill all the cultivators and soldiers from both countries with a single move.

However, facing Qin Zijun, who was also a Dongxuan Zhenjun, the King of Qi would not allow his supernatural powers to leak out and waste his magic.

He didn't care about anyone else; he only had eyes for Qin Zijun.

Qin Zijun's eyes seemed to hold a secret, and she slowly raised her finger again, pointing it out.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the Vermilion Bird Dharma Image, formed from the nation's destiny and fortune, vanished into thin air in an instant.

Qin Zijun laughed loudly: "It's only polite to reciprocate!"

His body was surrounded by intense Buddhist light, and a phantom of Buddha condensed in the void, smiling as he held up a flower. A single Buddha finger pressed down on the ruler of Qi.

The king snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a divine secret. With a claw strike, the towering Buddha phantom instantly transformed into a golden light.

The two True Lords of the Cave Profound Realm, their figures hidden in the void, exchanged hundreds of blows in an instant.

Sand and stones flew everywhere, the world was plunged into extreme darkness one moment and then blazed with light the next. The void was torn apart, from which terrifying gales blew out.

No matter who it was, once blown by that gale, their flesh and blood were immediately torn apart, turning into bones. Only those powerful cultivators could barely manage to protect themselves with their qi and magic power to block that terrifying gale.

Everyone was intently watching this rare and spectacular battle.

For hundreds of years, this region has only had one True Lord of the Cave Mystery, the ruler of the State of Qi, and no one can rival him.

Today, another True Lord of the Cave Mystery has appeared in the world. The battle between the two is dazzling and astonishing to watch.

However, most people simply cannot understand the battle between the two.

Both sides unleashed a variety of supernatural powers and techniques, each move grand and magnificent.

But the next second, these spells were easily broken by the opponent, as if the Buddha, Vermilion Bird, Buddha light, and blood energy were just false illusions.

Most people wouldn't understand it, but those skilled in outdoor filming would grasp the dangers within.

These two True Lords of the Cave Profound Realm are competing to see who has the stronger ability to perceive the mysteries. The weaker one will be killed if he is even slightly careless!

They asked themselves, how many blows could they withstand if they faced Dongxuan Zhenjun?

In despair, they discovered that they couldn't withstand a single blow!

No matter what kind of supernatural powers or spells you use, they are all ineffective against Dongxuan Zhenjun. And if the opponent uses spells with the power of a Zhenjun, you can't even block them and will be instantly killed on the spot.

Qin Zijun shouted that she was having a great time.

Kongxiang Temple is just a small temple. Its strongest supernatural powers and spells were only passed down from the Kongxiang Ancestor. There are no earth-shattering supernatural powers.

Even the supernatural powers that Qin Zijun used were mostly things he figured out on his own.

The ruler of Qi was clearly the same.

Although he did not know where he obtained the cultivation method of the dynasty, he only obtained the cultivation method, but did not obtain the powerful supernatural powers and techniques. His supernatural powers were also self-realized.

The two were evenly matched and fought quite a bit.

While Qin Zijun was pleased, the King of Qi was not.

He had dominated various countries for centuries, but now he couldn't gain any advantage over a mere monk, and his reputation was completely ruined, which was very detrimental to his spiritual practice.

If we can't kill this little monk today, he'll probably never be able to break through to the next level!

"You little bald monk, today I am determined to kill you!"

The enraged ruler of Qi was no longer holding back and was prepared to go all out.

With a roar, he shook the void, causing ripples and cracks to appear.

He left behind a national fortune that could barely suppress the Qi state, while the rest of the fortune was summoned from afar.

These blessings transformed once more into a Vermilion Bird, which then cried out and gathered in the sky, becoming a blood-red moon.

Under that blood moon, heaven and earth were corroded, and the King of Qi even used his own Dao Domain to cooperate.

The world was filled with the wails of ghosts and the howls of gods. Countless souls who died tragically under the iron hooves of the Qi Kingdom seemed to have been enslaved by the ruler of Qi.

The shrieks of countless dead souls assaulted Qin Zijun's mind, as if trying to drag him into the boundless Avici Hell.

"This time, you will no longer be able to see through the mystery!"

The King of Qi also incorporated the wisp of the Great Dao Law that he had condensed when he became the True Lord of the Cave Profound Realm into the Blood Moon.

The ability to manipulate the laws of the Great Dao at will is a power possessed only by Dao Lords.

The profound insight of the Cave Mystery True Lord was utterly unable to fathom the Dao Lord's intentions.

Qin Zijun held fast to his spiritual platform, resisting the shrieks of countless dead souls. His face was pale, as if his very soul was being torn apart by those shrieks.

He took a deep breath. This Dongxuan True Monarch, who had lived for nearly a thousand years, had indeed accumulated a wealth of knowledge, far beyond what he, a young man who had just achieved the Dongxuan realm, could compare to.

but--

"If Your Majesty works diligently to govern the country and the nation prospers, this humble monk will surely die under the power of your profound teachings."

"However, the king's strict laws have made the people angry but not daring to speak out. The Qi state may have become powerful due to its conquest of other states, but in my opinion, it is full of loopholes."

Qin Zijun remained calm, and he also mobilized his own aura of the Great Dao Law.

Normally, True Monarchs rarely use this wisp of energy, as it is the foundation for cultivating to the next realm.

It is only used when a True Lord of the Cavern is prepared to go all out, or even risk his life.

Just as Qin Zijun was unable to see through the great magical power that could neutralize the Qi king's magic, the Qi king at this moment was also unable to neutralize his magic.

Now let's see whose supernatural powers are stronger!

"You little bald monk, all you do is talk a big game!"

The King of Qi grew increasingly furious, because what Qin Zijun said was true.

He merely used his power as the True Lord of the Cave Mystery to intimidate other countries; his own ability to govern the country was rather mediocre.

It could even be said that the ruler of Qi had chosen the wrong path; he was not suited to the methods of cultivating the dynasty!

But how could the ruler of Qi admit it?

The blood-red sky collapsed, countless cracks spread out, violent winds swept across the earth, and the sky fell into deep darkness.

The howling and wailing sound seemed to tear a person's soul and spirit apart.

This earth-shattering divine power was fortunately achieved because the two were engaged in a battle hidden in the void.

If this were a battle in the mortal world, the entire Tianqian Pass would be reduced to dust under this divine power, hundreds of thousands of troops would be wiped out, and even the surrounding area for thousands of miles would be turned into barren land.

Faced with the Qi king's deadly attack, Qin Zijun clasped his hands together and whispered, "Before I returned to secular life, I knelt before the Buddha for seven days and seven nights."

"This is the culmination of my life's Buddhist practice!"

Qin Zijun slowly raised her hand, transforming herself into a Buddha, and gently struck out with her palm.

The Buddha's heart trembled, and the Buddha's bones cried out.

This is Qin Zijun giving up her future cultivation prospects, combining her past cultivation, present magical power, and borrowing the supreme Buddhist intent of the future with her own Buddhist heart and bones.

And based on that wisp of the Great Dao Law, he created the strongest divine power of his life!

The King of Qi could never have imagined that Qin Zijun had given up her cultivation and her future from the very beginning, standing in a place where she would die without a chance of survival.

"The power of Buddhism is boundless!"

The Buddha's light shone brightly, dissolving all blood and qi. A hand, seemingly from beyond the heavens, descended from the sky, grasping the sun and moon, and crushing the blood moon.

The Qi king's aura was completely locked, and no matter how he concealed himself in the void, the surrounding void melted instantly.

No matter how hard he tried to activate his profound abilities, even if he shed tears of blood from his eyes, he could not fathom the supreme mystery of this Buddha's palm!

boom----

With a single palm strike, the void shattered, the fragments stretching endlessly.

Qin Zijun intentionally controlled the force of this palm strike, which landed squarely on the ranks of the Qi army of 200,000.

The powerful Buddhist magic, the all-destroying laws of the Great Dao, with Qin Zijun's will as its blade, pierced into the mind of the King of Qi, and the unparalleled Buddhist power melted his body.

In an instant, the soul of this ruler of the Qi Kingdom, who had dominated the world for nearly a thousand years, was burned, torn apart, and shattered!

"No!!! How...could I...die..."

The ruler of Qi looked unwilling and incredulous.

Before he could finish speaking, his body cracked inch by inch from between his eyebrows and exploded with a bang!

Blood mist filled the sky as a True Monarch of the Cave Profound Realm perished!

When the boundless smoke and dust dissipated, the terrain on the earth changed, and the entire land was sunken several meters deep, leaving an indelible mark.

The remaining 200,000-plus Qi soldiers vanished along with their ruler, who turned to ashes.

At that moment, all was silent.

At that moment, Qin Zijun felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure!

Memories from dozens of lifetimes suddenly surfaced in my mind.

He was a cultivator, he was a beggar, he wasted his life, and he even managed to cultivate his inner elixir with great difficulty, only to die at the hands of others.

Those dozens of lifetimes were such failures, so miserable.

Today, a True Lord of the Cave Mystery has fallen at his hands.

That felt great! That felt great!

"Hahaha!"

Qin Zijun burst into laughter.

He had already returned to secular life and only wanted to drink a large bowl of wine to his heart's content.

I do not seek the supreme position in this lifetime, but I want to leave a deep mark on the world in this life, and let all nations remember my legend!
