Chapter 728: Chapter 476: Unmoved, Publicly Refining to Death_2
Immediately, he couldn’t care about anything else and had to mobilize the full power of the Netherworld Ghost Claw to resist.
Otherwise, once the Nanming Leaving Fire penetrates the interior of the Ghost Claw, he would truly fall into an inescapable predicament.
However, when Youming Elder fully resisted the Nanming Leaving Fire, he was horrified to find out.
The power of the Nanming Leaving Fire activated by Lu Qing was far beyond his imagination.
The grey energy of the Netherworld Ghost Claw, surprisingly, had no power to resist.
Just a touch, like snow meeting a red-hot iron, was quickly dissolved, burned into nothingness.
"Impossible, this kid is just at the Golden Core Realm, so how could the Nanming Leaving Fire he activates be so terrifying!"
Youming Elder’s heart was filled with disbelief.
Although he couldn’t see through Lu Qing’s exact strength and realm, he was certain that Lu Qing had definitely not stepped into the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Because the present world had just recently resurrected.
The Heaven and Earth Rules had not yet evolved to the extent of giving birth to a Primordial Spirit Great Power.
Not to mention the Primordial Spirit Realm, even the late-stage Golden Core was impossible.
But now, the power of the Nanming Leaving Fire activated by Lu Qing had already far exceeded what the Golden Core Realm could achieve.
Even compared to the Primordial Spirit Realm, it was likely not far off.
"Could it be that the Artifact Spirit of the Leaving Fire Tripod is still alive and has recognized this boy as its master?
But even so, just a Golden Core Realm should not be able to fully activate the power of a Middle Grade Spiritual Device!"
Youming Elder’s mind turned sharply, but he couldn’t figure it out.
Seeing the grey energy stored in the Netherworld Ghost Claw about to be exhausted, while the Nanming Leaving Fire was poised to break through the final defense layer and truly invade.
Youming Elder was completely anxious.
He let out a series of frantic howls, "Kid, are you really so ruthless, to drive me to extinction like this!"
"The righteous and evil cannot coexist. What sentiments can I speak of with an ancient old ghost like you."
Lu Qing’s gaze was icy, not only did he not restrain the flames, but he reached out and clenched his hand.
As he did so, the power of the Nanming Leaving Fire in the illusory Big Cauldron surged again, compressing violently towards the center.
With a boom, the final layer of grey energy was incinerated, rushing into the interior of the Netherworld Ghost Claw.
The powerful flame’s might directly burned through the restrictions inside, charging straight for the core.
"No!"
Youming Elder did not expect that Lu Qing still had reserves.
Seeing the Nanming Leaving Fire like a tidal wave, surging violently, Youming Elder was truly panicked.
He hurriedly shouted, "Daoist friend, have mercy, I am willing to submit, recognize you as my master, become your spiritual artifact!"
At this moment, Youming Elder could no longer care about his ancient Primordial Spirit Great Power face, and directly begged for mercy.
"A mere evil spiritual artifact, and you think you deserve to recognize me as your master?"
However, facing Youming Elder’s plea for mercy, Lu Qing showed disdain.
The Nanming Leaving Fire, already rushing into the Netherworld Ghost Claw, mercilessly broke through the core restrictions, sweeping towards the wisp of spiritual nature into which Youming Elder had transformed.
"Ah!!!"
Youming Elder had abandoned his physical body and seized the Artifact Spirit.
Even though he survived the calamity of Heavenly Human Five Decays and saved his life.
But he was still severely damaged, inevitably falling into slumber.
Plus, during this era of spiritual energy depletion for tens of thousands of years, he never received spiritual nourishment.
This prevented him from fully recovering to this day, and his Divine Soul was not strong.
Therefore, when surrounded by the Nanming Leaving Fire, Youming Elder was engulfed in boundless fear.
Feeling his Divine Soul Power being quickly incinerated and disintegrated.
The endless pain that pierced his Heart and Spirit couldn’t suppress the panic within Youming Elder.
He screamed in terror, "Mercy, young friend, mercy!"
But in return, there was even more surging Nanming Leaving Fire.
Feeling Lu Qing’s intent to kill, Youming Elder was utterly in despair.
At this moment, infinite regret arose in his heart.
He shouldn’t have been too hasty; he should have continued to lie low and slowly regain his power.
In doing so, even if the recovery was slower, he would not have ended up in such a state.
After tens of thousands of years of surviving so miserably, it ended in complete annihilation of body and soul.
"Ah! I hate! Kid, you’ll die a miserable death!!"
As the last trace of spiritual nature was incinerated, Youming Elder let out an extremely shrill curse.
Then there was no more sound, and in endless regret and unwillingness, he completely perished.
Feeling Youming Elder’s disappearance, Lu Qing retracted his spell, and the surging Nanming Leaving Fire gradually dissipated.
The illusionary ancient red Big Cauldron also vanished.
Only a white Bone Claw remained in mid-air.
Lu Qing reached out his hand and took the white Bone Claw in hand.
At this moment, the Bone Claw had completely transformed compared to before.
Not only was it no longer ferocious, but it also exuded a jade-like quality, looking as though it had a sacred feel to it.
"Young Master, this Bone Claw was originally an Exotic Treasure the Netherworld Old Ghost acquired from who knows where.
After tempering it with Evil Techniques for countless years, it became the Netherworld Ghost Claw.
Now that you have refined it with Nanming Leaving Fire, all the evil energy has dissipated, and all guilt is gone.
It has probably become an extraordinary refining material."
The voice of "Yan" echoed in Lu Qing’s mind.
As a Grandmaster nearing the end of his life, "Yan’s" vision in recognizing Refining Material was incredibly discerning.
Moreover, when Lu Qing activated the Nanming Leaving Fire earlier, he also borrowed its power.
So it already had some understanding of the material of this white Bone Claw.
Upon hearing "Yan’s" words, Lu Qing nodded slightly.
He casually put away the white Bone Claw.
There were other important things to attend to, refining artifacts and such could wait for later.
After putting away the white Bone Claw, Lu Qing looked around.
He saw that the surrounding powerhouses were all looking at him with an extremely reverent gaze.
He was not surprised.
Or rather, this was the effect he desired.
Just now, when refining the Netherworld Old Ghost, why did he prefer to expend more effort by using the illusory Big Cauldron to refine, rather than directly using the Leaving Fire Tripod?
It was to strike fear by making an example, refining an ancient Primordial Spirit in front of so many people.
Now it seems the effect was pretty decent.
Seeing Lu Qing looking over, all the surrounding powerhouses instinctively avoided his gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.
There’s nothing to be done; this one was really too terrifying.
What was that just now—a genuine remnant soul of an ancient Primordial Spirit Great Power surviving from the previous Cultivation Era, carrying countless secrets.
Lu Qing said he’d refine it to death, and he did, without leaving any room for survival.
No matter how much tempted with numerous Cultivation Techniques and Magical Treasures, he remained unmoved.
Such decisiveness and ruthlessness made all the powerful figures feel immense awe.
At that moment, no one dared question that when Lu Qing said he would kill them all, he meant it.
No one dared to meet his gaze when Lu Qing looked over, and his eyes finally fell on Meng Dian, lying on the ground staring up at him.
"Meng Dian, what else do you have to say?" Lu Qing said coolly.
His face paling, Meng Dian opened and closed his mouth, fear surfacing in his expression.
"Meng Dian, even if you were beguiled by that Netherworld Old Ghost, without malice in your heart, that old ghost would not have been able to tempt you.
Those living creatures that were refined, truly died by your hands.
So the sin on your hands, no matter how you try to justify it, can never be purified."
With that, a transparent flame already enveloped Meng Dian.
At this moment, the Bone Claw, which the Netherworld Old Ghost had obtained from who knows where as an Exotic Treasure.
And it transformed into the Netherworld Ghost Claw after hundreds of years of refinement through an Evil Technique.
Now refined by your Nanming Leaving Fire, all the evil is gone, all the guilt is purged.
It is likely to have become a rather extraordinary refining material."
Hearing "Yan’s" words, Lu Qing nodded slightly.
He casually picked up the white Bone Claw.
Lu Qing glanced around.
All the powerful figures around looked at him with deep awe.
He was pleased.
This was the effect he had originally wanted.
Just having refined the Netherworld Old Ghost, why did he prefer to spend more effort using the illusory Big Cauldron for refinement, rather than simply using it in the Leaving Fire Tripod?
It was precisely to annihilate the ancient Primordial Spirit in front of so many people.
Now it seemed the effect was satisfactory.
When Lu Qing looked over, all the strong ones around instinctively avoided his gaze.
This one was simply too terrifying.
What just happened, a genuine remnant of an Ancient Primordial Spirit surviving from a previous Cultivation Era.
To directly refine it to death, without leaving any way out.𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
No matter how tempted by countless Cultivation Techniques and Magical Treasures, he was utterly unmoved.
Such decisive character, such ruthless means, made all the powerful figures feel immense reverence.
At that moment, no one dared to question what Lu Qing had previously said about killing them all.
Seeing Lu Qing’s gaze, all the surrounding strong ones instinctively avoided his eyes, not daring to make eye contact.
There was no helping it, this one was truly too terrifying.
Lu Qing’s gaze finally landed on Meng Dian lying on the ground.
Feeling Lu Qing’s gaze, Meng Dian shivered, fear now appearing in his eyes.
"Meng Dian, is there anything else you want to say?" Lu Qing asked calmly.
Meng Dian’s face turned deathly pale, he opened his mouth but couldn’t speak.
"Although you were bewitched by that Netherworld Old Ghost, if there were no evil thoughts in your heart, that Netherworld Old Ghost couldn’t have lured you.
Those living creatures that were refined, they were indeed killed by your own hands.
So the sins on your hands, no matter how you try to argue, are beyond redemption."
As the last words fell, a transparent flame enveloped Meng Dian.
