Chapter 325: Chapter 316: The Southern Desert Immortal Bone Body

...

After encountering the spatial storm last time, Mo Wangchen still felt some lingering fear when he recalled the event.

Fortunately, his return to Beiming Land this time was smooth, and within a day, he had descended upon the land of Beiming.

Looking around, he found himself above the Ancient God Domain of Beiming Land, in the skies of Yan City, which belonged to the Lin Family of ancient martial artists. Below, the city bustled with life, a never-ending stream of carriages and horses in motion.

"Have you heard? A genius from the Great Emperor’s list of candidates from the Southern Desert has come to our Beiming, and now they’re inside Yan City!"

"The Southern Desert? That place is desolate and sparsely populated, the weakest among the four lands of Tiannan. There are only a handful of ancient martial families and Hidden Sects, and I heard that this year, there are only two people on the list of imperial candidates!"

"Indeed, Bai Qing from the Bright Moon Sect is one of the two geniuses on the Southern Desert Great Emperor’s list, and she has now entered the first transformation of the Nirvana Realm. She has come from another domain, and it’s said she’s here to challenge Lin Family Saintess Lin Jing!"

"Although the Southern Desert is the weakest among the four lands, it’s said to have the longest history. Despite the scarcity of Hidden Sects and ancient martial families, they possess many Ancient Dao Techniques!"

Walking through the city, Mo Wangchen heard some rumors. The Southern Desert was certainly bleak, the weakest of the four regions, but it was also the most mysterious. It was said that beneath its vast lands lay the remains of an Immortal!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the same time, a thunderous explosion suddenly rang out from the skies afar, causing an uproar throughout Man City as everyone turned their gaze upwards.

"It’s Lin Family Saintess Lin Jing!"

"Is she clashing with someone? The person opposite her... Could it be the Bright Moon Sect Saintess from the Southern Desert, Bai Qing?!"

Everyone was astonished. The candidates on the Great Emperor’s list were all exceptional talents, dazzling through the ages, with the potential to step into the Emperor Realm. Now, as these two clashed, their confrontation shook the heavens and earth.

Above the endless Heavenly Vault of Yan City, Lin Jing stood in mid-air, her body surrounded by a dazzling aura. The Saintess’s garment shimmered in and out of visibility on her, her momentum surging like rolling thunder, signifying her first transformation in the Nirvana Realm Cultivation.

Opposite Lin Jing stood another woman, draped in a white gown, with an ethereal and captivating aura and an icy expression on her face—none other than Bai Qing from the Bright Moon Sect of the Southern Desert!

Hum!

Under the watchful eyes of the entire city, Lin Jing stepped out through the void, her movement ghostly, leaving trails of afterimages as she rose higher into the sky. Her red lips slightly parted, and a burst of Golden Radiance emanated, forming a giant ’Killing Technique’ character as big as a mountain, suppressing Bai Qing below.

"Lin Family’s Ancient Dao Technique!"

"Now that Lin Jing is at the first transformation of the Nirvana Realm Cultivation, the power of this Ancient Dao Technique is no weaker than those executed by the Lin Family’s Nirvana Realm Great Elders!"

The colossal ’Killing Technique’ character, resembling a mountain, covered the entire sky above Yan City, sending shivers down the spines of onlookers.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort echoed; Bai Qing stood her ground fearlessly. She stood suspended in the air, her clothes fluttering without a breeze, her demeanor ethereal and detached, as if an Immortal had descended to the world.

Chih!

Under the gaze of the city, she extended her finger in the void, ripples echoing outward and a terrifying aura permeating the air, inducing a chilling fear in the hearts of those who felt it.

A streak of Finger Light shot forth, instantly forming an enormous Giant Blade imbued with a fierce and oppressive force, and it cleaved through the void.

"What?!"

"Isn’t that the Heaven-Breaking Slash of the Chu Family from West Earth? Bai Qing can actually use it?!"

"Despite being the weakest of the four lands, the Southern Desert’s heritage is the most ancient. It’s said that the Hidden Sects and ancient martial families there have several Ancient Dao Techniques passed down. Unexpectedly, the Bright Moon Sect also has the legacy of the Chu Family’s ’Heaven-Breaking Slash’ from West Earth!"

All were taken aback as the two Ancient Dao Techniques collided, leaving it uncertain which was stronger.

Crack!

The supreme Giant Blade, carrying a force that could seemingly cleave through the Heavenly Vault, instantly split the ’Killing Technique’ of the Lin Family in two, causing it to explode and dissipate, while shockwaves swept across, stirring the winds and clouds!

Humming!

At the same time, around Lin Jing’s body, the Saintess divine garments shone even brighter, making her resemble a round of Bright Sun, standing tall in the Void.

A streak of Divine Rainbow flew out from within Lin Jing, a hundred-foot Purple Ling exuding a golden radiance. Its imposing aura was astonishing, entwining towards Bai Qing like a Jiao Long, intending to bind her within.

"Immortal Binding Ling!"

"It’s Lin Jing’s Primordial Spirit Dao Embryo! Inscribed from a complete Emperor Weapon, it possesses the might of an Emperor’s Weapon!"

"It is said that in the distant Ancient era, Immortal Binding Ling once bound a Great Emperor figure to death!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in Man City, Bai Qing’s gaze tightened, also feeling the terror of Immortal Binding Ling. She rapidly retreated. At the same time, the Primordial Spirit Dao Embryo within her body was also released.

Snap!

A world-shattering explosion echoed, Bai Qing’s Primordial Spirit Dao Embryo appeared as a Nine-Section Steel Whip, also emanating the might of an Emperor’s Weapon.

"Could this be..."

"One of the Southern Desert’s top ten Emperor Weapons, the God-Beating Whip!"

"Bai Qing’s Primordial Spirit Dao Embryo has also been inscribed from a complete Emperor Weapon!"

Everyone was astonished, yet they only saw Immortal Binding Ling and God-Beating Whip entwined like two ancient Jiao Longs in the sky, neither able to overcome the other.

Buzz!

As the two great Primordial Spirit Dao Embryos clashed, Lin Jing launched another attack at this moment, the Killing Technique pressed down like a massive mountain.

"Condensing Thunder True Technique!"

Bai Qing’s expression changed slightly, but she did not hesitate to smack the air with a palm. Instantly, the explosive sound of thunder resonated, and purple lightning emerged in front of her, densely interwoven, causing shock.

The aura of the Tao Law permeated the entire field, causing everyone’s faces to change, and breaths to grow heavy.

Boom!

The exploding purple lightning roared like a Jiao Long, soaring out, and in the blink of an eye, shattered Lin Jing’s Killing Technique.

The remnants of its might unabated as they descended upon Lin Jing, causing her complexion to turn instantly pale, and blood to surge from her mouth.

At the same time, the Immortal Binding Ling, which had been entangled with the God-Beating Whip, abruptly dissipated, returning to Lin Jing’s body as a Divine Rainbow.

"She’s defeated..."

The whole of Man City was shocked; the battle had come to an end, and Bai Qing, superior in skill, had defeated Lin Jing!

"The Ancient Dao Technique of the Southern Desert is indeed formidable!" Lin Jing took a deep breath, fresh blood still lingering at the corner of her mouth.

"You’re not weak either. I once fought with someone on the list of Great Emperor candidates from the Eastern Desolate, and defeating him was a breeze. Yet, you forced me to use two Ancient Dao Techniques and my Primordial Spirit Dao Embryo!" Bai Qing responded, her voice indifferent and devoid of the joy of victory.

After a long moment, the God-Beating Whip was also retracted into her body. She looked at Lin Jing, "I came to Beiming to temper myself. My goals are not limited to you alone. Soon, I will go to challenge the Yaochi Saintess!"

"Bai Qing wants to challenge the Yaochi Saintess?!"

At these words, an uproar surged through Man City.

Lin Jing frowned, "Although you managed to defeat me, you are still far from the likes of the Yaochi Saintess and Wu Lingfeng."

"Maybe not," Bai Qing smiled, a touch of confidence in her eyes, "While the Taiyin Body is matchlessly gorgeous, it is not invincible. Today’s battle with you, I did not use my full strength. Do you know of the Immortal Bone Body from my Southern Desert thirty thousand years ago?"

"The Immortal Bone Body?" Upon hearing Bai Qing’s words, the Lin Family’s complexions changed, quickly realizing something, "Could it be that you possess the Immortal Bone Body?!"

That was the superior physique from thirty thousand years ago in the Southern Desert, known as the contemporary Divine Body there. No wonder Bai Qing was so confident, prepared to challenge Qin Yue.

Although currently, Qin Yue was merely at the second tier of the Nirvana Realm, she had fought Wu Lingfeng to a standstill, her strength comparable to that of someone in the third tier of Nirvana. The Taiyin Body had fully developed and could contend with the contemporary Divine Body of Beiming.

However, the Immortal Bone Body, as a Divine Body of the Southern Desert, was equally formidable. It was uncertain how she would fare against Qin Yue—who would be stronger, who would be weaker?
