Chapter 1023 Infinite Fusion Qi Gong
Lu Ran felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing the High Priest's words, but he was powerless to stop him.

Because his overall attributes are still within the eighth tier, he needs to concentrate highly just to resist the High Priest's attacks. Even so, the High Priest can still take something away from him every time he makes a move.

At this moment, Zeno, having heard the Grand Priest's words, turned and flew towards Universe 6. With Zeno's power, traveling there would only take a few seconds.

Lu Ran tried to stop the Omni-King, but revealed a slight flaw and was punched away by the High Priest, almost shattering even his true spirit.

At the critical moment, Lu Ran's body reassembled, and she narrowly used the Demon Prisoner to block the High Priest's attack.

"Prisoner Demon, the Dragon Balls are still here, so there's no need to worry about the universe!"

At that moment, a female voice rang out from the Cosmic Deep Space Clock, entering Lu Li's mind.

The person who shouted was the God of Destruction of the eighth universe, which is one of the top four universes. The God of Destruction there has been replaced by the Explorer. Lu Li had noticed the other party before, but they had never communicated.

However, Lu Li was deeply impressed by the other party's appearance. She was a stunningly beautiful woman with white fox ears and a fox tail, and had a cold and aloof temperament. She hardly spoke at all during the entire tournament.

Lu Li only knew the name of this God of Destruction through Beerus; it was probably a nickname within the space, called Snow Fox.

As Snow Fox spoke, she lightly waved her hand, and a shimmering white light materialized into the shape of a dragon ball. It was her hidden treasure; during the chaotic battle, she had taken advantage of the confusion to collect the Super Dragon Ball.

During the battle, Lu Ran was invigorated by Xue Hu's words and understood what she meant.

If it were limited to hand-to-hand combat, he would indeed be at a significant disadvantage, because even if he shared the same element as the High Priest, he might not be able to gain an advantage in combat skills in a head-on confrontation.

Because the High Priest is truly a veteran, and his strongest and most perfect Ultra Instinct is no joke. In terms of combat skills alone, Lu Li is slightly inferior.

The reason he has been able to entangle with the High Priest until now is mainly because he has special mechanisms: the super-fast soul source recovery of the Immortal Seed, the super-fast regeneration of the Primordial Spirit Seed, and special functions such as life steal and damage reflection cycles in his equipment.

These abilities, combined with absolute damage reduction, allowed him to survive the High Priest's relentless attacks.

The High Priest was a seasoned warrior. If he had used his internal energy, he could have completely destroyed everything Lu Li had. However, the High Priest did not use his internal energy because he could see that Lu Ran was constantly on his heels.

Using a powerful qigong technique with a long wind-up means he might create an opening, and creating an opening against an opponent like Lu Ran would be fatal.

Even the High Priest had to admit that Lu Ran's attacks could indeed hurt him, and were quite effective. If the domineering energy was left unchecked, it would damage his physical structure. In addition, the strange black substance attached to his body would constantly interfere with his movements and weaken his physical body.

Therefore, he cannot give Lu Ran any chance. He only needs to continuously dismantle Lu Ran until he reaches a point where she is not easy to recover. At that time, he will use a small qigong with equally impressive power released at high speed to shatter Lu Ran's body and soul, and finally finish her off with a destructive qigong with a huge pre-cast delay.

But the things the High Priest had to worry about, Lu Li didn't actually have to worry about.

Previously, Lu Li had only considered the innocent lives in the universe because of his combat habits and instincts. In addition, Weiss's training had made his control over his power extremely exquisite. Therefore, the clash between Lu Li and the High Priest would generally not release enough energy to destroy the universe.

Among the many techniques he has mastered, there is one power that is completely uncontrollable: Qigong.

Once you unleash your Qi Gong, it's like spilled water—it's impossible to take it back. As long as you unleash your full power, there's no such thing as limiting the range of your attack. At least, Lu Li's current level isn't at that level yet.

Therefore, Lu Li never used powerful qigong in battle. He was considering the existence of beings in the universe, but it wasn't that he couldn't use it.

Unlike the High Priest, he possesses the Origin Seed, and when he unleashes devastating energy blasts using the Origin Seed, there is no pre-cast animation!
"If you had joined us earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."

As Lu Ran retreated, she coughed up blood, and at the same time, her blood energy surged, and her wounds healed instantly.

With his current reconnaissance range, he could clearly see that the Snow Fox was also quite powerful, with a combined attribute of 278 points, comparable to Tianhuang Daoyan. It was probably no ordinary explorer.

However, when the Soul Singer invited her before, Snow Fox clearly refused. She said she would not interfere with everyone's actions, but everyone should not provoke her. She wanted to make enough benefits in the Eighth Universe.

But now everything has collapsed, and the Omni-King is even clamoring to erase all universes. There is no safe place left in this world.

Snow Fox was filled with anger and helplessness, but things had come to this point, and as the arbiter, she could only make the right decision. She had to find a way to kill the Omni-King and the High Priest, otherwise everything would disappear.

Lu Ran hinted to Snow Fox to hide far away with the Dragon Ball, and then, without warning, he raised his hand and launched a modified Kamehameha at the highest power of the weapon at the Grand Priest.

Lu Ran can use all of Lan Ran's and Lu Li's abilities, including the power of the spirit seed, and can also operate at full power in his new form.

In short, this Kamehameha was equivalent to Lu Ran's entire Soul Source, with 280+ attributes, being condensed together to create a devastating attack driven by destructive energy, ordinary Soul Source, and concentrated dark matter.

Normally, Lu Ran needs to go all out and put all his soul energy into it to release a single attack. Even with the Immortal Seed replenishing his energy, there will be a delay in replenishing his soul energy, and the pre-cast animation will be quite long when charging up and releasing the attack.

It can be launched by the Origin Spirit Seed in an instant, without any consumption, and the full power Kamehameha is launched just like that.

A beam of light, alternating between black, white, and purple, suddenly appeared in the universe and struck the High Priest directly.

Because the High Priest had not anticipated that Lu Li could release such a powerful ki without any warning, and because he and Lu Ran were very close, Lu Ran released the ki when the High Priest pierced his chest and crushed his heart. Therefore, even with perfect Ultra Instinct, he could not dodge it.

In an instant, a devastating burst of energy propelled the High Priest into the depths of space.

Unlike when facing Gohan's Kamehameha, the Grand Priest tried to neutralize the energy with his own energy or find a way to deflect it, but all his attempts failed.

Once this qigong strikes a person, the dark energy within it clings to them like a leech, drawing in other energies that surge further into their body.

He had no choice but to take the energy of the qi directly, which resulted in a violent explosion.

In an instant, a devastating storm swept across most of the universe. This was only because Lu Li had precisely adjusted the concentration of his qi using the Origin Spirit Seed; otherwise, if the High Priest had completely deflected and destroyed it, the power of the qi would have been enough to destroy the entire universe with some remaining energy. Undoubtedly, this attack instantly destroyed many planets in the universe, leaving no room for negotiation. People didn't even have time for a final prayer.

This is why Lu Li didn't use his internal energy to fight the Grand Priest before, but the Snow Fox's words reminded him that now was not the time to hold back. If he lost, all the beings in the twelve universes would die, the Dragon Balls would disappear, and there would be no way to make amends.

If they can win, everything can be restored with the Super Dragon Balls, bringing the dead back to life.

Lu Ran disliked this childish, life-and-death scenario, but he had to admit that at this crucial moment, the existence of the Dragon Ball allowed him to take a gamble.

Amidst the deafening roar, the High Priest emerged from the smoke and dust. Numerous fine wounds were visible on his body, clearly indicating that taking a direct hit from a 100% Soul Source Full Power Fusion Qi Gong was no easy feat for him.

"I never expected you could unleash such powerful internal energy in an instant..."

The High Priest sighed, "But nothing can be changed; the Omni-King has departed."

Just now, during his confrontation with Lu Ran, he had already used his power to pierce through the void. He himself was injured by Lu Ran's qi, but before the explosion, he also sent the Omni-King to the battlefield where the Dragon God was.

The High Priest never considered Lu Li a threat. Only the Dragon God was a primordial deity on the same level as them. After eliminating the Dragon God, he could devise a hundred ways to deal with Lu Li at his own pace.

"Then I'll kill you and then go help you."

Lu Ran flipped the Demon Moon in his hand, sheathed the sword, and simultaneously reached out with both hands, aiming at the High Priest.

The next instant, even the snow fox, who had already fled far away, felt a chill run down its spine. Looking back, it cursed, "Pervert!"

Suddenly, beams of light appeared in front of Lu Li's hands, each ball of light being a destructive Kamehameha.

If released normally, each Kamehameha would be enough to drain his soul source. However, Lu Li is now like a multi-barreled cannon, about to unleash a barrage of attacks on the High Priest without any cooldown.

Upon seeing the Kamehameha energy ball appear in front of Lu Li, the Grand Priest's expression changed. He wanted to rush forward and close in to interrupt Lu Li's power release, but in the blink of an eye, Lu Li's Kamehameha was released almost instantly.

The next instant, hundreds of fused Kamehameha waves were unleashed, and beams of destructive light streaked across the first universe like fireworks of the apocalypse.

Boom boom boom boom boom——

A series of sounds rang out. The Grand Priest dodged some Kamehameha waves, but he couldn't dodge the explosive energy. The Kamehameha waves exploded directly after he missed them, and the explosive energy disrupted his balance.

Moreover, the closed and flat attack with no blind spots made it impossible for even the perfect Ultra Instinct to dodge, so dozens of fused ki blasts still hit the High Priest.

That wasn't the end of it. Just as the High Priest's clothes were already torn to shreds and he looked quite disheveled, Lu Ran's next attack arrived.

He was like an endless ki turret, launching hundreds of fusion ki attacks at a time, continuously outputting wave after wave. The entire First Universe had become a fireworks display, with magnificent fusion fireworks exploding one after another. In just a few seconds, the entire universe had been swept away by a devastating storm, leaving virtually no living things.

Snow Fox ran all the way to the edge of the universe, clutching the Dragon Ball in his sleeve, thinking to himself that the workload of the Dragon Ball after this incident would be quite considerable.

However, she was not optimistic that Lu Ran could win by using the bombardment tactic of the Origin Spirit Seed. After all, he was a ninth-order Grand Priest who mastered the Law of Time. As long as he was not killed in one go, the Grand Priest could recover from his injuries by manipulating his own entropy reduction.

Moreover, Lu Ran's tactics, though seemingly underhanded, are not invincible. As long as the High Priest finds an opportunity to engage in close combat again, Lu Li will become passive once more.

If the Kamehameha were to explode nearby, Lu Ran himself would be engulfed by the violent energy. Moreover, he was far less resilient than the Grand Priest, and his injuries would be more severe.

Just as the battle in Universe 1 had reached its climax, the battle in Universe 6 had also reached a point where life and death were at stake.

The beings in Universe 6 can see a colossal platinum dragon traversing the cosmos, battling the Grand Priest and the Omni-King.

However, the Dragon God's fighting style is incomprehensible to ordinary martial artists. He and the Grand Priest are not the same type of strongman. If you have to say, he is the same type as the Omni-King. They are both psychic type strongmen, while the Grand Priest actually belongs to the martial artist category.

The Dragon God is using his divine power to fight against the Omni-King. When the Omni-King tries to eliminate him, he creates something new. When the Omni-King tries to erase the entire universe, he protects the entire universe.

At this level, the Dragon God is actually in a rather disadvantageous position, because he is essentially protecting the universe while fighting against the Omni-King.

He understood that the Dragon Balls could restore the universe after the war. Although the Dragon God was kind, he was not a stubborn person. He knew that if he died, the Dragon Balls would become ineffective and everything would be ruined.

The Dragon God continues to protect the twelve universes not only because of his promise to the young people who rescued him, but also because he understands that the current spacetime of the universe is locked because of a device operating in an unknown location.

Once the Omni-King uses his power to eliminate all universes, the devices still operating in those universes will inevitably fail. At that point, the restrictions on spacetime will be lifted, and he will have to face even more Grand Priests and the Omni-King.

Therefore, the Dragon God must protect the twelve universes from being destroyed, which is not only the salvation of all beings, but also the redemption of himself.

"Primordial Angel, what do you really want!?"

The Dragon God spilled blood across the starry sky, shouting, "Is destruction what you wanted?!"

Despite facing the dragon god's enormous body, the high priest launched a steady attack, each strike piercing through the dragon god's flesh and inflicting effective damage.

"Salama, you misunderstand. The point is not what I want, but what the Omni-King wants."

The High Priest said, "I am merely carrying out the will of the Omni-King."
