Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Upon hearing Situ Hao muttering to himself, the lady in the green dress asked, “Senior brother, do we still need to flee?”

“Perhaps it’s unnecessary!” Situ Hao shook his head.

The spectacle above the sky cast the reflection of the five colors of the Five Elements onto the mountains and rivers.

Red, black, white, orange, and blue hues reflected off the mountains and rivers, continuously rolling.

Boom

The voidness constantly echoed, and the power of heaven and earth became violent.

Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the grinding disc that was continuously expanding in the sky.

“Is that Jiang Yuan’s technique?” someone wondered.

“Who else but him? He has mastered the force of the Five Elements rule, and uniquely fused them, reaching such an advanced realm! Such a powerful domain, not sure if Ao Feng can even contend against him!”

A pretty well-informed person said.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Ao Feng plunged into the Five Elements grinding disc opened by Jiang Yuan and instantly felt an incomparable suppressing force.

His body seemed to be bound by countless chains, unable to move.

Every move, felt as if he was carrying loads of weight.

Under the rotation of the grinding disc, crushed by the power of the Five Elements.

He immediately felt his internal body “cracking” with the resonance of muscles and bones.

The dragon scales were continually shattering, splashing droplets of blood.

“This is impossible!” The look in his eyes was horrified.

Having felt such a powerful domain, his pupils revealed a sense of shock.

No one knew better than him, how powerful Jiang Yuan’s domain was.

Under the pressure of the full domain, he felt he was struggling to move.

The dragon scales shattered and blood spurted out into the sky.

The muscles in his body were constantly twisting and breaking, and his internal organs gradually shifted positions.

Jiang Yuan slowly walked towards him, the power of the entire domain was concentrated on Ao Feng.

Roar

He roared towards the heavens, struggling with all his might.

The world trembled for a moment.

The Five Elements grinding disc wobbled slightly, and then returned to normal.

Ao Feng was instantly filled with despair, realizing he was being suppressed by Jiang Yuan’s domain. He wondered how he could fight back.

With Jiang Yuan relentlessly approaching closer, his eyes began to reflect a look of terror.

At the top of the mountain, a mermaid witnessing the events unfolding under the five-colored grinding disc began to tremble.

Her master had been trapped in the domain of this human genius for so long, but he never managed to break free.

The five-colored grinding disc expanded even more, reflecting the five elements’ colors onto the landscape.

“Can my master really go toe-to-toe with him?” she whispered softly.

A moment later.

The five-colored grinding disc in the sky overhead slowly dissipated.

A gigantic Sea Dragon’s body, more than a dozen feet long, fell freely from the sky.

Its dragon scales were shattered, its body bathed in blood, and its life force entirely gone.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

“Has that Sea Dragon been defeated?”

“Not only was he defeated, he’s dead! He fell at the hands of Jiang Yuan!”

“Shh! How horrifying is Jiang Yuan! What is his actual level of cultivation?”

“I don’t know. His presence was covered by his domain, so no one could perceive his aura. No one knows how Ao Feng died!”

“Terrifying! Both his maid and he are aberrations!”

Someone sighed and then said, “Even after so long, that startling sword light remains in my eyes, it’s unfathomable, I can’t even imagine! Just what kind of sword move is that!”

“Indeed!” someone mildly agreed, sighing. After the series of extraordinary events, his mood had turned somewhat heavy.

Situ Hao let out a soft sigh.

“There’s no need to run. Let’s go check it out!”

The Sea Dragon’s corpse fell with a “boom” onto the mountain where Shu Xiaoxiao was situated, causing a slight tremor in the mountain.

“Xiaoxiao, tidy it up. We’ll roast it later!”

“Yes, Young Master!” Shu Xiaoxiao responded excitedly.

She muttered under her breath: “Roasted Sea Dragon! I’ve never eaten it before, it must be delicious!”

“Slurp!” She swallowed her saliva and hastily began to handle it.

Mu Qianru watched this scene, somewhat bewildered in the wind.

Looking at Shu Xiaoxiao who was busy at her side, she couldn’t help but speak out: “Aren’t you surprised that your master killed the Transfiguration Realm Sea Dragon of the Demon Tribe?”

“You’re talking to me?” Shu Xiaoxiao turned back and asked, puzzled.

“Yes!”

She instantly smiled: “There’s no need to be surprised! It’s just a third-tier Azure Sea Dragon from the Transfiguration Realm! Not only him, but even if it were a sixth or seventh-tier demon, I believe that my master would be invincible!”

As she spoke, she began processing the massive dragon body at an astonishing speed.

Even though Ao Feng was completely dead and lifeless, his body was still more than ten feet long.

But in front of Xiaoxiao, it was processed rapidly nonetheless.

With the sharpness of her Sword Aura, it was ripped apart and skinned in an instant.

Mu Qianru’s eyes were still somewhat dazed.

Before she came, she had specifically researched the five great demons of the East Sea Demon Tribe who were in the Transfiguration realm.

Ao Feng, who was ranked second among them, was indisputably strong.

In her view, among the Heaven Geniuses of the human race in Pearl Cave, only Zhou Qiu and Lin Yuqing had a high chance of surpassing him.

But victory would not be easy.

Not to mention killing him!

Given the body of the Demon Tribe, it would be difficult to kill them, especially the renowned Sea Dragon Tribe.

However, he has now turned into a corpse, being torn apart by Shu Xiaoxiao, and soon to be turned into a meal.

If measured by time, his encounter with Jiang Yuan lasted merely about ten breaths.

That is to say, he fell to Jiang Yuan in about ten breaths.

The gap between them was as if a yawning gulf.

“How strong is he exactly?”

Mu Qianru stared blankly at Jiang Yuan’s retreating figure.

When Shu Xiaoxiao heard her murmur, she slightly smiled: “Don’t bother thinking about it. I don’t know how strong my master is, but I do know that he’s very, very strong!”

“That’s why I have to cultivate diligently, to catch up with the Young Master. Otherwise, I’ll become mere decoration and a burden to the Young Master!”

Hearing the determination in Shu Xiaoxiao’s words, Mu Qianru couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

So the reason for her rapid progress was to chase the Young Master’s shadow.

Thinking of Jiang Yuan’s past actions and his recent performance.

A sudden realization hit Mu Qianru. Indeed!

Without the performance like Shu Xiaoxiao, how could she ever catch up with him.

Looking at Jiang Yuan’s retreating figure, she found herself in a trance.

A year ago, while she was at the fifth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm, Jiang Yuan was merely at the second level of the Spiritual Sea Realm.

Although his age was astonishing, she prided herself on having practiced cultivation for around a decade longer and was still a few realms ahead of him.

Now, after just over a year, he had left her far behind, to the point where she could no longer see his back.

Indeed, as his maid mentioned, people like her, if they were to follow Jiang Yuan, they could only become burdens and decorations.

The ideas she harbored in her heart gradually extinguished.

After today’s battle, she knew that she and Jiang Yuan were destined not to belong in the same world.

In the not too distant future, he might be at the pinnacle of all beings.

And she, the so-called Heaven Genius, was no more than an ordinary person amongst all beings, incapable of making any waves.
