Chapter 492: Chapter 20: Severing One’s Own Dao Foundation
Lu Qingshan’s pores were constantly seeping dark, crimson blood.
As the Mountain Ghost sucked away all the Taoist Patterns from his body, the binding force that rendered him immobile and powerless finally dissipated.
Of course, in the eyes of the Mountain Ghost, Lu Qingshan, who had lost his Taoist Patterns, had already lost the ability to resist.
But Lu Qingshan, who was seen as a lamb ready for slaughter in the eyes of the Mountain Ghost, was smiling even more fiercely at the hideous Mountain Ghost at this moment.
Although his Taoist Patterns were lost and his cultivation had plummeted, his realm and rank were still intact, allowing him to use that Divine Skill.
The Divine Skill from the Ancient Sect, the Mountain and Sea Pavilion.
The Power of the Mountains and Seas.
Previously, due to the Mountain Ghost’s Causality Divine Ability, he was unable to move, naturally unable to utilize this Divine Skill.
Now, after the Mountain Ghost had achieved its goal of seizing the “foundation,” the Causality Divine Ability finally expired, and he was no longer restricted.
Even without any words from the Mountain Ghost, Lu Qingshan would have activated his last trump card, making his final stand.
But the words of the Mountain Ghost were not without meaning.
Their meaning was to let Lu Qingshan declare the Mountain Ghost’s demise in his heart prematurely.
You are already dead!
“As you wish!” His complexion pale and body bloody, Lu Qingshan’s eyes ignited with madness.
He stretched out his right palm, and blood was flowing from his hand, then dripping onto the ground.
But at this moment, Lu Qingshan was beyond caring.
A complex and mystical Taoist Pattern appeared from his palm.
At the same time, an extremely vast fluctuation emanated from his palm as the center, spreading toward the earth in all directions.
It was a devouring force that the Mountains and Seas could not withstand.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
The rate of spread of this fluctuation was unimaginably fast, spreading to the surrounding forty li of land in an instant.
The Power of the Mountains and Seas at the Nascent Soul rank, the devouring power of the Mountains and Seas, covered an area of forty square li.
In the horrified gaze of the Mountain Ghost, the land within sight began to turn barren at a bizarre speed, cracking and revealing deep, bottomless fissures.
And from within the earth, the immense, life-giving force was surging madly, gathering towards the center of the fluctuation—Lu Qingshan’s body.
A deep green energy, howling up from the depths of the earth, formed a tornado that enveloped Lu Qingshan, and eventually all entered into Lu Qingshan’s body.
A moment before, the extremely weakened Lu Qingshan was now emitting fluctuations so powerful that even the Mountain Ghost couldn’t help but tremble.
Most terrifying was, as the Mountain Ghost itself had said, the earth was the source of its power.
And when the power in the earth was completely sucked out by Lu Qingshan, it was as weakened as Lu Qingshan had been when his Taoist Patterns were taken, turning into water without a source.
“What Divine Skill is this?” The Mountain Ghost couldn’t believe there was such an uncanny Divine Skill.
The majestic power from deep within the earth emerged from Lu Qingshan.
The promise he made to the Sect Master of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, never to use this Divine Skill unless it was a matter of life and death, he had indeed kept.
This was the first time he had used this Divine Skill since he had acquired it.
He could clearly feel that the power in his body now was vastly greater than any strength he had possessed before.
The rank of this Power of the Mountains and Seas was already equivalent to that of a Void Refining Cultivator.
Moreover, he was able to completely control this strength, and he did not have to pay any price.
The only flaw was that this power could only be used once, and after using it, he could not recover it.
Additionally, the land from which he had drawn the power would remain barren henceforth, turning into a dead land that could not regain its vitality for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
A Divine Skill that violated natural harmony.
A Divine Skill even more sinister than black magic Techniques.
“You’ve worked hard.” Lu Qingshan did not respond to the Mountain Ghost’s question, his gaze turning to Qin Yitian, whose eyes were blood red, and softly comforted him.
Qin Yitian merely gave Lu Qingshan a coy smile, then immediately turned back into a red light and entered the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
“Young Master, I will slash him!” The next moment, Qin Yitian’s voice, gritting with anger, came from the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
The Sword Spirit girl, always gentle and without any temper, was truly angry this time.
She could let go of all other matters lightly.
But the Mountain Ghost’s actions that harmed Lu Qingshan, she absolutely could not tolerate.
“Alright.” Lu Qingshan agreed.
Flames burst to the sky from the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
Such fiery grandeur seemed to monopolize the sky, seeking to thoroughly ignite this part of heaven and earth.
The abruptly rising Dragon Sparrow instantly shattered the entwining green vines and flew into Lu Qingshan’s hand.
“To try to take away my Taoist Patterns, the price of a single Life Thunder Fruit is not enough!” Lu Qingshan stood with his sword, his eyes filled with intense killing intent, causing the Mountain Ghost to shudder.
A moment later, Lu Qingshan emitted a sword qi so earth-shattering that he rushed forward with such speed that in a flash, he passed!
Lu Qingshan and the Dragon Sparrow closed in at an unimaginable speed.
The Mountain Ghost felt a strong sense of life-threatening crisis.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
All the green vines shot out swiftly, forming a green vine shield in front of it.
Lu Qingshan took a deep breath, his already icy eyes becoming even more luminous and sharp.
He gripped the Dragon Sparrow tightly, raised it high, then swung down.
Secret Sword: Subduing Heaven!
As Lu Qingshan swung down this sword, the noise generated was like a roaring storm!
A fierce sword qi mixed with fiery splendor burst forth.
The entire valley began to tremble violently at this moment.
