The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

“No wonder Elder Gong said there would be no danger last night; it turns out her cultivation level had already broken through to the peak of the Element Gathering Realm,” Shi Lei sighed with relief.

“I’m afraid that’s not it,” Mo Ying frowned tightly, “it seems more like she used some kind of secret technique or consumed an elixir to temporarily boost her cultivation level.”

“Temporary?” Everyone’s breath hitched.

In the high sky.

The Earth Demon King, staring at Gong Qingqiu whose aura had surged more than tenfold, narrowed its pupils, feeling immense pressure. With a flash, it swung its sharp claws toward Gong Qingqiu.

Whoosh!

Water sounds emitted from the Mystical Spirit Catalogue, and several light screens appeared around Gong Qingqiu, easily blocking the Earth Demon King’s claws.

At the same time, countless green vines and water swords struck the Earth Demon King’s body, leaving it with numerous scars and sending it flying dozens of meters away.

“Elder Gong has the upper hand!”

“That’s great!”

Everyone was overjoyed.

But there was no hint of happiness on Gong Qingqiu’s face.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her demeanor always solemn.

A few days before, Ye Feng had given her an Explosive Spirit Pill, telling her that its effects would last only a third of a quarter-hour.

Thus, she had to fight quickly and decisively!

“Slash!”

With her move, Elder Gong unleashed a Fourth Grade Spell perfected to the Major Achievement stage, the “Mystical Spirit Catalogue”. Torrents of water surged from the scroll, forming countless water swords in mid-air that swooped down like a flock of birds pecking at their prey.

“Damn it, break for me!”

The Earth Demon King roared.

A violent gust blasted from its body, forming a protective shield around itself, blocking the countless piercing water swords.

Clang, clang, clang!

The water swords exploded on the surface of the shield.

However, their numbers were vast, and the Earth Demon King could only defend, unable to escape. The spectators were thrilled by this scene.

“The Earth Demon King is going to be slain!” Shi Lei clenched his fists.

Yet, Mo Ying was clutching her Breeze-riding Sword tightly.

She had a vague feeling that Gong Qingqiu was somewhat anxious and worried, growing more certain that the other party had used some means to temporarily enhance her cultivation level.

“Stop spectating, attack now!”

Mo Ying poured her True Yuan into her throat and shouted loudly, her powerful aura sweeping out and startling everyone.

“Quick, attack together!”

Luo Cheng, Gao Lan, Yunhua Zhenren, Liu Yuzhi, and other cultivators also reacted, each casting their spells.

Countless flying swords, flames, ice blades, and light orbs bombarded the Earth Demon King like a torrential downpour.

“Dare to gang up on this king, how bold!”

The Earth Demon King cursed and prepared to guard and flee.

“You wish to run away!” Gong Qingqiu swiftly changed her spell gestures, numerous vines rolling out from the world within the scroll like a cage, trapping the Earth Demon King in place.

The next moment, a multitude of spells struck.

Boom!

The Earth Demon King’s shield finally gave in and cracked.

“Sword Drawing Technique!”

Huo Yunjie, with the first layer of Element Gathering Realm strength, gathered all his momentum into a vortex of Sword Qi and cleaved into the Earth Demon King’s body through the crack, knocking off a scale.

“Backstab!”

Mo Ying appeared behind the Earth Demon King like a specter, holding a Middle Grade Spirit Sword, and stabbed into the Earth Demon King’s body where the scale had fallen off through the crack.

Slash!

The Earth Demon King was wounded again.

With a crack, its protective shield completely shattered, and countless vines tightly wrapped around it, pulling it into the scroll’s world in an instant.

“This spell is so powerful, it can even seal the Earth Demon King,” Luo Cheng said, eyes wide in amazement.

Gong Qingqiu’s brows were deeply furrowed as she said in a deep voice, “The world within this scroll can only imprison the Earth Demon for thirty breaths; once he breaks free, I won’t be his match.”

“What?”

Everyone’s eyelids twitched.

If such a powerful spell couldn’t kill the Earth Demon King but only trap it, once it escaped, those present would still be in danger.

“The only option now is to use that move!”

Gong Qingqiu backed away ten meters, her hands quickly forming seals.

“Protect the Elder!” Seeing Gong Qingqiu’s hand signs, Mo Ying guessed something, holding her Spirit Sword and standing to Gong Qingqiu’s right.

The other disciples rapidly surrounded her, not allowing anyone to approach.

“The Five Elements of heaven and earth combine as one, known as the Primordial Unity Qi!”

Gong Qingqiu chanted the incantation, unleashing the powerful Fifth Grade Magic “Primordial Unity Qi”. Her aura gradually intensified.

This spell was difficult.

But Ye Feng had taught Gong Qingqiu personally and had helped her reach the Major Achievement stage a while ago.

Whoosh!

Five streams of Qi surged from Gong Qingqiu’s body, circling in the sky, merging into each other, finally forming a grey Qi that twined around her slender, snow-white fingers.

The spiritual senses of cultivators from all sides landed on the Primordial Unity Qi, and they were immediately struck with a soul-shaking fear, their eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

“What kind of spell is this?”

“I feel that even a true Demon King, if hit, could not withstand it.”

The crowd was deeply shaken.

Rip!

At this moment, the world transformed from the Mystical Spirit Catalogue rapidly expanded and then instantly shattered into pieces, as a terrifying figure stepped out from within.

“All of you will bow to this king… Eh?”

Before the word “die” could even leave his mouth, the Earth Demon King noticed a stream of grey Qi rushing toward him, with no time to dodge.

Splat!

The Earth Demon King was pierced through the brow by the Primordial Unity Qi, and the collective consciousness formed from dozens of life forms disintegrated.

“Flames Consume the Heavens!”

Fearing the Earth Demon King was not dead, Gong Qingqiu cast another fire spell to burn him into ashes.

With that, the great battle came to an end.

The effects of the Explosive Spirit Pill came to an end just in time, and Gong Qingqiu’s aura receded like the tide, returning to her former Element Gathering Realm Fourth Layer standard.

The cultivators present felt lingering fear, turning their gaze towards Gong Qingqiu.

“It seems, Elder Gong used a technique to enhance her cultivation level, but given that her aura is robust and aside from the injuries she received earlier, there’s no other damage, indicating that this method of enhancing her cultivation is extremely sophisticated, with hardly any side effects.”

“Sophisticated?”

“More like miraculous! A method that can take someone from the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm all the way to the peak of the Element Gathering Realm without any side effects is practically a divine feat!”

The crowd buzzed with excited discussions.

“The foundation of the Misty Sect is indeed profound.” Many voiced such sentiments, contributing a great deal of Prestige Points.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Earth Demon King has been vanquished, but the area around us may still be dangerous. It would be best to seize the moment and clear any remaining threats,” Gong Qingqiu spoke.

Yan Ruyu stood behind Gong Qingqiu with both hands pressed against her back, channeling a vast amount of Life Spirit Force.

“Elder Gong is right,” Luo Cheng nodded, barely managing to stand straight with the support of Gao Lan and his three children.

Subsequently, the seated cultivators inspected the surroundings.

Once they confirmed that no beings from the Demon Race were lurking, they bid each other farewell and went their separate ways.

…

Barren Desert.

Princess Hu Feifei sat under a gigantic poplar tree.

In front of her was a hundred-meter-long colossal scorpion on the sand dune, its head smashed open, its gargantuan carcass lying still on the gravel, motionless as a dead turtle.

Ye Feng emerged from the Dimensional Space, sitting beside Hu Feifei.

“Sect Leader, I’ve been walking for so long without encountering a single worthy opponent. It’s so boring! How about we play a little two-person game?” the obedient Hu Feifei began to massage Ye Feng’s shoulders and then asked.

“What game?” Ye Feng was a bit curious.

“Rock, paper, scissors,” Hu Feifei said with a smile.

“Boring!” Ye Feng was speechless.

He thought it would be some exciting game. But this?

It was the middle of the night.

The desert was desolate, one could walk a thousand miles without seeing a soul.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting water-like moonlight, soft and pure as gauze, enveloping the entire land.

A strong wind blew, carrying a vast expanse of yellow sand beneath the moon, creating a desolate and lonely scene that inspired endless emotion.

“Huh, there’s some movement!”

Ye Feng looked into the distance.

Over a hundred miles away.

A sand dune suddenly exploded.

Countless grains of sand met in mid-air, forming a one-eyed giant wielding a huge hammer made of sand, standing a hundred meters tall, casting a cold gaze.

“A Demon King’s talent incarnation!”

Ye Feng eyed the Cyclops intently, and, as several lines of text appeared in his vision, a smile slowly spread across his face, “That’s your formidable enemy!”

As his words fell, a strong wind swept through, a sandstorm arose, and the entire dune was devoured by raging sands, whipped into a frenzy, blurring visibility to the point where nothing was discernible mere five meters away.

“Fight!”

Wielding her stick with both hands, Hu Feifei leaped towards the one-eyed giant formed of yellow sand.

“It was you who killed many of my subordinates. You must die!” the one-eyed giant roared, holding its hardened sand hammers in both hands. It leaped into the sky, reaching a height of a hundred miles before accelerating downwards, its body igniting with intense flames, like a meteor crashing to earth.

Boom!

The two collided in mid-air.

Surprisingly, Hu Feifei was blasted away by the giant hammer, smashing heavily near Ye Feng and stirring up a sandstorm.

“Tch, the opponent is quite strong!”

Hu Feifei climbed out of a hundred-meter-deep sand pit, spitting out the sand in her mouth, her eyes gradually tainted pink, her long hair shining radiantly under the moon, so dazzling and striking.

“Explosive Stick!”

Hu Feifei raised her stick and charged into battle once again.
