At this time, in a hidden cave among the barren mountains, Xu Que’s Taoist Body had been blurred. The merge stage had started.
His real body was still sitting on the ground motionlessly like a rock. Innumerable Spiritual Qi was flowing into his nose and mouth slowly.
In front of him, his white-haired Taoist Body had become totally transparent. Its blood veins and white bones would have been visible to the eye if anyone had been there watching.
Under the control of Xu Que’s powerful Soul Strength, all the bones of the Taoist Body were becoming transparent because of the pressure of Xu Que’s Taoist Connotation.
Crack!
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.
The Taoist Body cracked abruptly. Its body was full of thickly dotted cracks! Then, the area between its eyebrows started to disintegrate. Skin particles started to fall down like dust. A small hole appeared between its eyebrows.
After that, a strand of dazzling golden light came out from the small hole and lit up the pitch-dark cave.
Crack! Crack!
The hole between its eyebrows was being enlarged along with the crisp sounds.
The golden light became more and more dazzling. The Taoist Body got darker and darker. When it lost all its essences, only a hollow shell, which was full of impurities, was left.
Flop!
At last, a fist-sized hole appeared between the Taoist Body’s eyebrows, when a small golden figure stepped out. The small golden figure looked the same as Xu Que. The figure was only as large as a palm. Its body was golden, including its hair, eyes, and pupils.
Strands of Taoist Ripples, which were full of violent strength, were rotating slowly around its body.
“Merge!”
Suddenly, Xu Que’s real body shouted in a low voice as he raised his hands in the palm up position.
Boom!
All the Spiritual Qi inside and outside of the cave flooded into Xu Que’s body abruptly.
The small golden figure also opened its eyes instantly.
Boom!
A strand of chilly Terrifying Spiritual Qi gushed out from the eyes of the small golden figure.
Swish!
Instantly, the entire cave was full of the chilly Terrifying Spiritual Qi. The air was even frozen and turned into ice particles. Then the cave was covered with snow!
The next moment, the small golden figure started to drift forward slowly.
A hole also appeared between the eyebrows of Xu Que’s real body, which was guiding the return trip of the small golden figure!
…
Outside the cave, Jiang Hongyan, who was sitting with her legs crossed, was startled by the sound. She looked at the cave, her sparkling eyes full of shock.
“I didn’t expect he would make such a big noise when he merges with his Taoist Body!” She murmured in a low voice, which was like an orchid in a hollow valley.
However, she didn’t worry about Xu Que. A faint smile even appeared on her beautiful face. Because the noisier Xu Que was, the more extraordinary his merger with the Taoist Body would be!
Maybe a sovereign, who could startle the universe and move the gods, would appear soon!
However, the sound also startled the Heaven Orc Generals who were searching for Xu Que in the mountains.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Twenty black figures rushed over from all directions rapidly and gathered in front of the mountain.
“I sense great turbulence in the Spiritual Qi. Someone is breaking the cultivation stage!”
“According to this noise, I guess it would come from Li Bai of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
“This is really horrible! He is just at the Void Training Stage. The noise he made could even be mistaken for a cultivator at the Crossing Calamity Stage who is about to reach the Great Vehicle Stage, by someone who doesn’t know him!”
“We have to get rid of him, or he will definitely hamper our great cause of unifying the Xuanzhen Continent in the future!” Several Heaven Orc Generals said gloomily.
After witnessing Xu Que’s performance on the battlefield, they didn’t dare to underestimate him anymore. A young man at the Void Training Stage who could kill cultivators at the Form Synthesis Stage easily. Even cultivators at the threshold of the Crossing Calamity Stage were also killed by him. If he reached the Form Synthesis Stage, maybe only cultivators at the summit of the Crossing Calamity Stage or even the Great Vehicle Stage could defeat him!
“Kill him!”
Soon, the 20 Generals dashed toward the mountain where Xu Que was as quick as lightning.
Outside the cave, Jiang Hongyan was startled. She stood up and glanced at those 20 figures calmly. She was as calm as usual. She raised her hand slightly and golden light appeared on her fingertips. Even though she was facing her enemies, her actions were still so graceful and elegant – just like the majestic Empress that she was!
“Humph! The woman is protecting Li Bai as expected!” The Heaven Orc Generals snorted after recognizing Jiang Hongyan.
Jiang Hongyan glanced at those Heaven Orc Generals and said calmly, “Anyone who dares to come closer will be killed!”
Hearing that, the Heaven Orc Generals sneered, “Heh-heh, are you able to kill us?”
“Human woman, you are overconfident!”
“You are just at Level 3 of the Crossing Calamity Stage. Everyone of us is more powerful than you! How dare you stand in our way!”
“We don’t want to waste our time killing you. You have three breaths to get lost!”
“The only one we want to kill today is Li Bai!” The Heaven Orc Generals said coldly.
Although they looked down upon Jiang Hongyan, they still needed to spend some time to defeat her since she was also at the Crossing Calamity Stage. Therefore, they tried to scare her away.
However, their words were ignored by Jiang Hongyan. She stood in front of the cave calmly.
“OK, since you are seeking death, we will satisfy you!” Several Heaven Orc Generals dashed toward her with chilly lights in their eyes.
“The three of you take this human woman down! The rest of you, follow me into the cave and behead Li Bai!” Another Heaven Orc General gave his order. Then he rushed toward the opening of the cave with the rest of the Generals.
Jiang Hongyan frowned slightly. In front of the three powerhouses at the Crossing Calamity Stage she stomped the ground with her tiptoes and jumped into the sky. Then she pointed her fingers, which were wrapped by golden light, at them gently.
Bang!
Instantly a dull sound rang out.
Before reaching the opening of the cave, more than ten Heaven Orc Generals were startled by this noise and felt something was wrong. Then, they widened their eyes in disbelief.
The three generals at the Crossing Calamity Stage who were trying to take down Jiang Hongyan were lying on the ground. Fresh blood was flowing out from their mouths. Now, they were looking at Jiang Hongyan with pale and shocked complexions!
“How…could this be?”
“Who is she?”
“Only one person in the Xuanzhen Continent could be so majestic and powerful from ancient to modern times!”
“The Empress of Human Beings!”
All at once, the 20 Heaven Orc Generals figured out Jiang Hongyan’s identity, which shocked them completely!
