Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Li Qianyun's body surged with spiritual power, all of it injected into the pink longsword in her hand. Instantly, the cherry blossom petals on the sword seemed to come alive, swirling out like a tornado, converging into dense and powerful sword energies that howled towards Chen Tian.

Chen Tian looked at this move with surprising calmness, not feeling any panic. Only when the cherry blossom rain, containing terrifying sword energy, rushed in front of him did Chen Tian let out a cold snort. Immediately afterward, his entire body's spiritual energy surged, gathering on his right hand. He slammed it forward violently, and with a "bang," a rampant and violent fist wind burst out, meeting the attack head-on.

The blue fist wind and the pink cherry blossom rain intersected in mid-air, and the boundless power contained within them instantly exploded. The immense energy shook the entire Qifeng Sect, causing it to tremble.

At the same time, the cherry blossom petals that had lost their energy, along with the aftershocks, rushed out of the restrictive light罩, scattering like a spring rain towards the cultivators who were watching at the foot of the mountain.

"What exactly just happened?"

"What powerful energy! Is this the power of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator's full-strength battle? When will I be able to reach such a realm?"

Under the dual concealment of Li Qianyun and the silver-haired elder's restrictions, these low-level cultivators standing at the foot of the mountain could not clearly see what was happening inside. They could only sense that just now, an extremely terrifying power had been unleashed. The vastness of this energy shattered their previous imaginations, allowing them to truly feel the power and terror of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Just a casual strike could shake a ten-thousand-foot mountain, a level of strength that made these low-level cultivators extremely envious.

Among them, some quick-witted individuals, after a brief shock, immediately sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began to quietly sense the artistic energy emanating from Chen Tian and Li Qianyun's fight, hoping to gain something.

"Hehe, these two little dolls are truly interesting!"

Behind this group of stunned low-level cultivators, the mysterious sword-bearing man reappeared eerily on the canopy of a towering tree.

He first glanced at the place where Chen Tian and Li Qianyun were standing, then took out a wine gourd from his waist, leaned against the giant tree trunk, and began to enjoy himself freely!

… … … … … …

"Lian, what do you think of these two's strength?"

Turning the perspective back inside, the six Nascent Soul Realm experts watching the battle, after witnessing Chen Tian and Li Qianyun's attack just now, had their expressions suddenly turn extremely gloomy. The silver-haired elder's eyes flickered as he asked the Venerable Lian beside him.

"Strong, very strong! Although this was just a probing move, the auras emitted by these two are evenly matched. I'm afraid the outcome is unpredictable!" Venerable Lian said with a heavy tone after pondering for a moment.

The silver-haired elder nodded in agreement, then stopped speaking and continued to look towards the two.

As for Fairy Yue Wei and Manor Lord Feng Ting, who had made the bet earlier, seemed to be shocked by the two's auras. They couldn't help but look at each other.

However, at the moment their gazes met, they seemed to realize something, snorted coldly at each other, and then turned their heads away, no longer paying attention to each other!

"Chen Tian, I take back what I said earlier. Although I don't know why your cultivation has suddenly declined, you do have the strength to fight me. You have not disappointed my expectations! You are a worthy opponent!"

At this time, Li Qianyun had already taken flight, hovering in the air. The long wind fluttered, stirring her blood-red clothes, like a pile of flames dancing wildly.

What the cultivator Lian had said was correct. Li Qianyun did not use her full strength in that move just now; it was just a test of Chen Tian.

After all, she could not tolerate Chen Tian responding to her challenge with such a perfunctory attitude.

However, the final result still satisfied Li Qianyun, because she discovered that although Chen Tian's cultivation seemed to have declined, his true strength was still gradually climbing, even stronger than in the battle in the Demon Ruins back then!

In this way, Li Qianyun could let go and carry out the revenge plan that had been buried in her heart for decades!

It should be known that, as a pearl held in the palm of everyone's hand since childhood, Li Qianyun had never tasted the flavors of failure and humiliation. In her eyes, apart from her master and a very few peerless experts, everyone else was no different from ants and grasshoppers.

Therefore, when facing other cultivators, Li Qianyun always looked at them askance with a cold and frosty gaze, with nothing but arrogance in her eyes.

However, what Li Qianyun never expected was that Chen Tian, who was no different from other ants in her eyes, would be the first man to defeat her.

Moreover, Chen Tian cruelly subjected her to three soul-shaking humiliations, directly shattering Li Qianyun's self-esteem into a thousand pieces.

Over the past few decades, whenever Li Qianyun closed her eyes, Chen Tian's figure would always appear in her mind. She knew that Chen Tian had become a major obstacle in her cultivation path, severely damaging her Dao heart. If she could not completely kill Chen Tian and wash away the humiliation of the past, then Li Qianyun's Dao heart would never recover, and her future cultivation would stagnate.

Thinking of this, the delicate face that had been somewhat calm on Li Qianyun's face once again stirred up intense anger, staring at Chen Tian with deathly focus.

She secretly made up her mind that she must kill Chen Tian today no matter what!

"Chen Tian, prepare to die!"

After making such a decision, Li Qianyun murmured in her heart, and then she closed her eyes and silently recited the incantation.

At the same time, more cherry blossom petals and chrysanthemum petals floated out of Li Qianyun's body, scattering down from the sky.

If one observed carefully, one could discover that these petals all fell on the huge flying dragon statue on the Dragon Cliff Platform.

Each petal fell on a dragon scale, covering it layer by layer, without missing a single one. Until finally, it actually made this stone dragon appear to be decorated as a flower-covered flying dragon.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the thousand-foot dragon, which was originally lifeless and just a statue, seemed to come alive, bursting out with a fierce roar towards the sky.

Immediately afterward, the huge dragon body covered with a layer of bright flower petals actually began to wriggle.

An ancient aura, as if transmitted from the ancient space-time, burst out from this giant dragon!
