435: Wang Teng fights Xiantian

For today, Wang Teng had made ample preparations. Although the Nine-Nine Yuan Sha Spirit Slaughtering Grand Formation was not specialized in killing, it was exceptionally powerful in terms of confinement.

After all, the goal of nurturing this innate being was to obtain him, not to destroy him.

So Wang Teng wanted to try if he could resolve him easily with the Grand Formation first.

Countless chains extended from the void, coiling around the stone pillar and stabbing towards the young innate being.

The young innate being sneered, "This Grand Formation must be the one that tampered with me, but it merely took advantage of my utter lack of resistance."

As he spoke, he stomped his right foot heavily on the ground.

An extremely powerful fluctuation erupted, shaking all the chains that were stabbing at him back.

At the same time, this Grand Formation also shook violently, with cracks appearing in many places.

Just as it was about to collapse, Wang Teng intervened in time to save it, restoring it to its original state.

He looked deeply at the young innate being opposite him; he knew how solid this Grand Formation was.

Just a gentle stomp could cause such destruction; the opponent's strength was probably even stronger than that of a typical Mortal Realm peak expert!

But fortunately, Wang Teng had anticipated such strength; after all, he was an innate being, and there might always be some surprises.

Immediately, he put away the Grand Formation and confronted the young innate being directly himself.

This Grand Formation would be needed later; since it couldn't deal with him, there was no need to lose it here.

"May I know your esteemed name?"

Suddenly, Wang Teng asked.

"Originally, you weren't qualified to know my name." The young innate being made no attempt to hide his disdain, "But seeing as you helped nurture me, I'll tell you."

"Qing Li!" The young innate being uttered two words, then repeated, "My name is Qing Li!"

Wang Teng nodded, smiling, "You were nurtured because of me, so you can be considered my son. When I deal with you, I will leave you a name."

"Heh heh." Qing Li didn't respond, merely letting out two cold chuckles.

Bang!

The next moment, the two sides, who had just been speaking, almost instantly moved simultaneously and exchanged a blow.

The initial attempt ended in Wang Teng's disastrous defeat.

His entire body was blasted away like a cannonball, carrying a large amount of air currents along the way, which disintegrated upon contact.

However, Qing Li merely remained at the spot of the clash and did not choose to pursue the victory, resolving to finish Wang Teng in one go.

He had only just gained life; although he was born with knowledge, knowing and doing were still two different things.

He wanted to use Wang Teng to thoroughly experience his own body and his own strength.

So, when he struck just now, Qing Li had even held back.

By the time Wang Teng stopped, lying in a deep pit, his entire body was already a horrific sight.

Multiple parts of his body were damaged, intestines and internal organs had spilled out, some areas were friction-burned, and his skeletal frame was exposed.

Most critically, Wang Teng's aura was weak at this moment, his life hanging by a thread, seemingly with only one breath left.

If he hadn't made it up, he might have truly fallen here today.

After just one clash, Wang Teng's current state could be summed up in one word.

Miserable!

Qing Li looked down at him, thinking to himself: He's like this, can he still fight? Might as well just kill him directly.

"Hahaha!"

However, despite his dire state, Wang Teng burst into laughter.

Wang Teng's body recovered at a visible speed, and his aura also surged continuously.

In just a few breaths, he had fully returned to his normal state.

Not only that, his aura also surged, instantly becoming several times stronger than before.

The position of the Earth Immortal Realm's ruler!

Seeing this scene, this familiar feeling, Qing Li seemed to recall something, "Mountain and River Seal...?"

But he shook his head again; if he were to discern carefully, it didn't quite resemble it, merely having a slight shadow of it.

He was, after all, an innate divine being, and this Mountain and River Seal was created by a post-heaven divine spirit, so his understanding was not deep.

But this move, derived from the Mountain and River Seal, made Qing Li take it seriously.

Not because of Wang Teng, but because of the name of the Earth Emperor.

The Three Post-Heaven Emperors were also extremely famous figures among the innate beings; such information was even imprinted in his innate memory.

In just a few breaths, Wang Teng had already surged to the level of a Mortal Realm peak expert, much stronger than when he fought Ji Hao.

But it wasn't too much stronger; the Earth Immortal Realm had been greatly weakened by his excessive extraction previously, and the power amplification was not as strong as before.

Thereupon, he regrouped and clashed with Qing Li again; this time, Wang Teng was not defeated so miserably.

In a formal confrontation, the two were evenly matched.

Although Qing Li had only just been born, his combat experience was flawless and incredibly seasoned, fully capable of rivaling veteran powerhouses like Wang Teng.

And while Wang Teng was only at the Great Accomplishment Sacred Lord peak, his control over the crippled Earth Immortal Realm compensated for the fundamental numerical difference between them, allowing him to fight Qing Li back and forth.

However, as the battle progressed, Wang Teng discovered that Qing Li seemed to be growing stronger and stronger.

His bloodline pathways were constantly being impacted, and Qing Li's strength was slowly increasing.

It wouldn't be long before Qing Li could fully recover.

No, it wasn't just Qing Li getting stronger; he also seemed to be constantly getting weaker.

Wang Teng soon understood what was happening.

It turned out that every clash between him and Qing Li was essentially a depletion of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Ordinary powerhouses clashing would not go to this extent, but both of them were currently the top existences in the lower planes.

Any single attack was enough to annihilate countless small worlds.

Coupled with the fact that most of the Earth Immortal Realm's power was concentrated on Wang Teng, its own protective capabilities would also decrease.

As the two of them continued to fight, the Earth Immortal Realm would collapse even more severely.

Furthermore, the methods he had employed on Qing Li were time-sensitive, weakening with each passing breath.

In summary, Wang Teng had to finish the battle quickly; the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for him.

The Ancient Spike of Annihilation in his hand struck repeatedly, but without much success.

Qing Li, however, responded calmly; after fighting for a while, he had already guessed Wang Teng's situation.

He only needed to slowly wear him down, and Wang Teng would dig his own grave.

He was not in a hurry either; every so often, his strength would recover a bit.

With this ebb and flow, Wang Teng quickly became exhausted.

Seeing the situation grow increasingly critical, Wang Teng had to use his trump card.

"Heaven and Earth Profound Connection!"

Countless luminous lines appeared out of thin air, intertwining with each other.

This caused an enormous human-shaped phantom to slowly emerge behind Wang Teng, continuously solidifying.

"Dao Body?"

"No, it's just some kind of body, exerting power similar to a Dao Body."

Seeing the method Wang Teng used, Qing Li muttered to himself, "This looks a bit like the divine ability of the Heaven and Earth Profound Sect!"

The Heaven and Earth Profound Sect was an incredibly powerful sect from a higher plane, existing even before he was nurtured.
