My disciple's cultivation returns ten thousand times, so I have to be invincible.

"Hmph, arrogant!"

Before Zhong Qing could speak, Xu Qianfeng snorted coldly.

"Your Shangqing Immortal Sect's fate has come to an end. Today, I will follow Senior Zhong Qing to attend your funeral. The only ones who can't leave are you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qianfeng took a step forward and pressed down his palm towards Ling Tian's head.

The two of them are both the leaders of the four major immortal sects, and their cultivation levels are comparable.

Although he was in the opponent's home court, he was now protected by the immortal power bestowed by the ancestor, and could remotely draw on the power of Yuhua Dongtian regardless of the cost.

So let alone following Zhong Qing, he would not be afraid at all even if he was alone and fighting Ling Tian one-on-one.

The next moment, there was only a sneer.

Ling Tian actually stood where he was, neither dodging nor evading, allowing this palm that was powerful enough to shatter the sky and annihilate the void to fall on his head.

The full power of this palm was unleashed, but Ling Tian's body only shook slightly, and he was unharmed!

Xu Qianfeng was shocked: "How is it possible?!"

This palm of his was blessed with the power of Yuhua Dongtian, and it had already exceeded the limit of the Nine-Turn Pseudo-Immortal and was close to the level of a True Immortal.

Even if Ling Tian received greater blessings in Shangqing Cave Heaven, it would only be slightly higher than this. Even if he could take it on, he couldn't take it so lightly.

The next moment, Ling Tian waved away Xu Qianfeng's hand and pointed casually.

This finger seemed plain and unpretentious, without much momentum, but it made Xu Qianfeng's expression change drastically.

In his eyes, when Ling Tian pointed his finger, it seemed as if infinite Dao essence was flowing at his fingertips. The power of birth and death of the sun, moon and all things gathered between these tiny particles, condensing into boundless and vast power, enough to penetrate the Dao of heaven and earth.

The horror of this finger was indescribable. Xu Qianfeng's body defense was broken into pieces. He tried his best and could only dodge a little, but he was still unable to avoid it completely. A big hole was pierced in his entire left shoulder, and blood flashing with colorful spiritual energy and golden light splashed into the sky.

"Impossible... Even if you were inside the cave and used all your strength to draw on the power of the immortal artifact, you wouldn't be able to reach this level. What on earth did you do?"

Xu Qianfeng retreated back to Zhong Qing, sealed the wound on his shoulder, and was horrified.

If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, he would have been seriously injured.

Ling Tian sneered, "Xu Qianfeng, you and I have been rivals for so many years. Could it be that your eyesight has become blurry now?"

"Since entering the cave, have you ever felt my presence? If not, have you ever wondered why?"

Xu Qianfeng was shocked.

Indeed, not to mention when I just came in.

Even now, when talking to Ling Tian face to face, he could not sense the other party's breath.

This situation is extremely strange.

Xu Qianfeng frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly he thought of something and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Could it be——"

A meaningful smile appeared on Ling Tian's face.

"I'm caught in a situation, unaware of it; I'm lost in confusion, unable to extricate myself. Now, within this cave, there's no place that isn't shrouded in my aura. How could you possibly sense it?"

Xu Qianfeng's face darkened: "As expected... I never thought you would go to such lengths at all costs."

A hint of resentment instantly appeared on Ling Tian's handsome face.

"Isn't it you who forced me to do this?"

At this moment, Zhong Qing finally spoke.

"What are you talking about?"

From the moment he came in, he couldn't understand a word of the nonsense the two men were saying.

However, in Zhong Qing's eyes, Ling Tian's aura now seemed to be different from any opponent he had encountered before.

Xu Qianfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Zhong, this Ling Tian is truly ruthless. He has transformed himself into a weapon spirit of the Shangqing Cave Heaven!"

"what?"

This time Zhong Qing was indeed shocked.

Can a person transform himself into a spirit weapon?

"Can it still be like this?"

Xu Qianfeng said, "Senior Zhong, I've mentioned before that sect leaders like us fuse a portion of our souls and wills into the cave heavens in order to draw upon its power."

"But in the end, the true body is still the true body. If you achieve true immortality in the future, you can even take back the soul that has been contaminated by the power of the immortal weapon and feed it back to yourself."

"But Ling Tian did the exact opposite."

According to Xu Qianfeng, Ling Tian did the opposite and transformed the part of his soul and will that was integrated with the cave-heaven fairy weapon into the main body.

In this way, he is equivalent to truly merging with Shangqing Cave Heaven, and in a sense becomes the spirit of the cave heaven.

So as Ling Tian said, the entire Shangqing Cave Heaven was shrouded in his aura.

In this state, Ling Tian, ​​as a pseudo-spirit, can directly activate the power of the cave sky.

It far exceeds the previous limit of using one's own power to draw on the power of the immortal weapon.

"That's right." Ling Tian sneered, "If we used that approach in the past, even if we were inside the cave heaven and absorbed the immortal energy at the cost of our own lives, we could only barely reach the level of the entry-level True Immortal, and it wouldn't last long. If we faced the two of you at the same time, we would definitely be defeated!"

"But now, I can almost permanently call upon the true power of the immortal weapon. Even ordinary True Immortals are no match for me."

"What's more, you will be suppressed once you enter the cave. Even if you are a True Immortal, you have no chance of winning at all."

Xu Qianfeng said in a deep voice: "But the price to pay is also extremely high."

"Transforming into a weapon spirit is equivalent to giving up your human body. There is no possibility of breaking through to the True Immortal level in this lifetime."

"Furthermore, if a human soul becomes a spirit of an immortal artifact, his will will only be continuously eroded by the power of the immortal artifact in the cave. I'm afraid that within a hundred thousand years, he will completely lose his will and become a part of the cave."

One hundred thousand years seems like a very long time.

But for beings of their level, their lifespan can easily be hundreds of millions of years, and a hundred thousand years is just a blink of an eye.

Ling Tian's actions are no different from chronic suicide.

No...it's even more terrifying than suicide. I feel my will being eroded, but I can't die even if I want to.

Even Zhong Qing couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

Didn't I just want to destroy your Shangqing Immortal Sect? Is it necessary to be so cruel to myself?

When Ling Tian heard Xu Qianfeng say this, his expression twisted again for a moment.

He laughed heartily: "You are right. To destroy you all, I, Ling Tian, ​​will no longer be a human being!"

"Therefore, our sect will make you pay a greater price!"

The moment the words fell, Zhong Qing and others felt that the whole world around them had changed.

It was as if everything in this world, or the world itself, had turned into an enemy, emitting endless malice towards them.

Invisible oppression came from all directions, and even the strong ones at the level of seventh-level pseudo-immortal were suppressed and unable to move.

If it is under the seventh rotation, I am afraid that under this pressure, all seven orifices will bleed, internal organs will rupture, and it will be crushed alive.

Only above the eighth level, there is still some power of independent movement, but it can only barely hold on. It is absolutely impossible to escape or fight back.
