Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 423 - 176 Part 1, The End?

The wildly dancing tentacles filled the entire space. Under such an intense attack, nearby beasts that took flight suffered greatly as they were entangled, strangled, and devoured by the tentacles. Their bodies merged with the tentacles at the cellular level, forming disgusting lumps upon the tentacles. These corpses could not serve as nutrients for the tentacle monster since the creature lacked life itself; it had no physiological functions, no metabolism, no circulation... It was, fundamentally, no different from a typhoon or an earthquake, merely a "phenomenon." This act of consumption was utterly meaningless.

No matter how skilled Wang Qi was in geometry, he could not rush through without coming into contact with the tentacles. Therefore, he had to fight.

A milky white light enveloped Wang Qi's entire body, forming a layer of battle armor. The surrounding tentacles, sensing this power that was completely contrary to their own, were initially repelled. But soon, more tentacles swarmed in.

High entropy flows to low entropy, turning order into chaos—this is determined by the cosmic law. For this lifeless monster, this was instinct.

It was like an attack of raindrops. The tentacles densely attacked from all directions, occupying all space, sealing off any possibility of attack or escape for the target. Any ordinary spell that made contact with it would tend towards chaos, reducing its power, spelling certain death for any ordinary life being.

But what about a life being that had comprehended the Light of Life Beings and the Power of Negative Entropy?

Wang Qi uttered a light shout, his long sword swirling around him to form a net of light. The Sword Qi Net, condensed purely from the Power of Negative Entropy, vibrated autonomously as if alive. The Sword Net turned into raging waves, repelling all attacks from the tentacles in the nick of time. As the two opposing forces came into contact, they annihilated each other, unleashing tremendous strength. The tentacles were severed, and the No Mistake Sword Net showed ripples for the first time.

If the tentacles' assault was like a torrential rain, then Wang Qi was using his long sword to thrust the downpour back into the sky.

"Ha!" Wang Qi exhaled loudly, maintaining the Sword Net for defense with both hands while his legs powerfully sprinted forward. More tentacles surged towards him, only to be repelled and sliced by the Sword Net. Yet, the force carried by each tentacle transmitted through the long sword, reaching Wang Qi. Under such circumstances, Wang Qi felt as though he was not running on the ground. Battling against such force, even a fierce wind or torrential flood seemed trifling in comparison. If anything, Wang Qi felt like he was trapped in surging asphalt,

"Darn it..." Strong propulsion forces came from all directions. Wang Qi could only ignore the pain in his hands and focus intently on the calculus of the Sword Net, while his legs instinctively continued to move forward.

His shallow Qi Cultivation Stage mana quickly depleted. But Wang Qi's body was enveloped in Holy Light, and the Power of Negative Entropy soon began to replenish the spiritual energy that naturally gathered within him. The Seeking Dao Jade flickered on and off, automatically sharing the burden of calculation for its master.

The Holy Light swirling around Wang Qi became brighter and more substantial, burning intensely. Originating from the Light of Xinling, generally focused on the spiritual domain, the Holy Light under such terrifying pressure finally began a new evolution, now leaning more heavily on the physical aspect. Wang Qi's unique Holy Light started to resemble the truly peerless Divine Skills of Tianling Ridge.

The Life Flame began to ignite.

"Ah! Ah!" The intense vitality stimulated Wang Qi to emit a wild roar of battle. His mind entered a strange state, all negative emotions began to fade, and pain started to dissipate. It seemed as though only two things were left in the world. One was the long sword in his hands, and the other was the abstract multitude of Particles that made up the tentacles.

Chop! Chop! Chop!

The Holy Light, initially without lethal force, proved unexpectedly effective against this Evil Demon!

As Wang Qi's strength escalated once again, a white column of light slowly rose.

In the distance, four Ancient Golden Core cultivators witnessed the scene. Zhai Difeng, who was more familiar with the Modern methods, was the first to make the correct judgement, "This is the Heavenly Calculation Power of Tianling Ridge, indeed he is a Qi Cultivation Elite among the Modern Heretics!"

Another Golden Core cultivator exclaimed in disbelief, "How can it be Qi Cultivation? This is impossible!" The startled person was a woman dressed in red palace attire, resembling a beautiful woman in her thirties. This Golden Core cultivator had lived in the outer sea for hundreds of years and this was her first time stepping onto Shenzhou; she was completely unaware of what Modern methods could achieve.

Zhai Difeng said, "Heretics are skilled in combat, and should not be compared with disciples of the Righteous Skills. However, speaking of which, it seems we have struck it big this time. Being able to flee within the domain of Priest Li, and considering his movement speed, which seems quite fast, he must be among the best in Heretic Qi Cultivation, likely a genius specifically nurtured by the heretics. If we bring his head back, we will surely be handsomely rewarded!"

No sooner had Zhai Difeng finished speaking than a black figure accelerated and flew out. Some were about to scold him for his greed for merit, but they chose to hold their tongues once they saw clearly who was rushing out.

Priest Li charged out ahead of everyone. At this moment, he was quivering with rage.

"Evil Demon! A true Evil Demon! Not a follower of Hongyuan, yet dares to resist the power of the World-Purifying Envoy! Damned heretical scum!"

At this moment, the furious witch only wanted to tear apart the blasphemer!

...

In front of him, every tentacle was split open by Wang Qi's immense aura, shattered to pieces. No tentacle could cross the Sword Net to reach him. At that moment, Wang Qi's consciousness held only the flashes of silver Sword Light.

Gradually, the tentacles changed from a complete encirclement to a partial one. And after a while, only a few scattered tentacles attacked from behind. Only then did Wang Qi regain his senses. He gave a long howl and, lifting his movement technique, he raced forward at full speed.

As these tentacle monsters had not a hint of life's vitality, they were perceived as inanimate when not active. It was for this reason that Priest Li dared to bury them in this forest. But even he didn't dare to bury too many. It took Wang Qi twenty minutes of running and chopping to cover a distance of one li, and he finally escaped from the tentacle hell.

Exhausted, Wang Qi spat towards the back, "Do you know, old man, that race does not represent honor? I have met the most noble tentacles and also the most despicable humans—ah, spit on you, you lowly beings! Does Nya know? Does Asatros know? They are far superior to you; I have enjoyed pleasant conversations with them!"

"Blasphemous scum, how dare you insult the power of World Purification..." Just then, a powerful Spirit Pressure descended from the sky, crushing Wang Qi to the ground.

Is this Priest Li...

Just as the thought flashed through Wang Qi's mind, Priest Li bellowed, "Die!" A stream of red and black darkness shot from his fingertips, shattering Wang Qi's heart.

Damn, this isn't how the script should go...

These priests, shouldn't they come out and spout some nonsense first before killing...

With such thoughts, Wang Qi's consciousness gradually sunk into darkness. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
