Old Man Youming was truly shocked.
He didn't expect that the boy in front of him could see at a glance that he was hiding in the spiritual weapon.
Now even his condition can be described accurately.
For a moment, in the eyes of the old man in the underworld, Lu Qing became unfathomable.
Even in the ancient times of cultivating immortals, the method of stealing souls was a secret method that could only be mastered by practitioners above the Yuanshen realm.
How did this kid know such secrets after such a long time?
The old man in the underworld also noticed that Lu Qing used the word "again" just now.
Could it be that he had encountered other beings who used the soul-stealing technique?
The old man in the underworld looked at Lu Qing, his eyes full of surprise and doubt.
On the contrary, the people around seemed a little confused.
After all, what Lu Qing said was still too high a level for them.
"I told you that you have no right to question me."
Faced with the question blurted out by the old man from the underworld, Lu Qing did not answer his question, but said lightly.
The old man in the underworld paused, feeling extremely angry.
He has lived for so many tens of thousands of years, but has never been treated like this before.
Although the kid in front of him is a little weird, if it were him tens of thousands of years ago, he would have been crushed to death with one hand.
Now that he is in a desperate situation and is being humiliated by a young boy, how can he not be filled with murderous intent?
However, no matter how angry I am, the situation is stronger than me now.
So the old man in the underworld forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and did not flare up. He just stared at Lu Qing coldly.
"My dear friend, what do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?" Lu Qing smiled and said, "You hid in this ghost claw, secretly bewitching Meng Dian, trying to stir up disputes among the righteous and disrupt the situation in the world.
In order to fish in troubled waters, use the chaos to refine living beings and restore oneself.
Do you think it is really possible to conceal it from the world without anyone noticing?"
The old man in the underworld was silent.
He knew that he was indeed a bit rash this time.
Before he fully recovered, he persuaded Meng Dian to emerge and seize the position of the leader of the righteous path.
However, due to the special nature of the technique he was practicing, without the help of the souls of living beings, relying only on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he didn't know when he would be able to recover to his peak.
Only by thoroughly disrupting the situation in the world can he control Meng Dian and refine living beings on a large scale.
That's why he bewitched Meng Dian and tried to seize the throne at the Holy Assembly this time.
Besides the fact that this is indeed a good opportunity, what is more important is that it actually stems from his inner pride.
He thought that with the power of an ancient spirit like him, it would be easy to capture a group of Jindan realm juniors.
But I never thought that there would be a monster like Lu Qing.
He was clearly just a young boy, but even he couldn't see through his strength.
He also controls the Lihuo Ding that restrains him.
This kind of development of the situation was something that Old Man Youming could never have anticipated.
When he was hiding in Meng Dian's body before, he had heard of Lu Qing's name and deeds.
Although he was also surprised, he still believed that no matter how evil a Jindan realm kid was, he could not go against the will of heaven.
However, he never expected that when he really faced Lu Qing, the other party would be so unfathomable.
"My friend has sharp eyes and profound cultivation. I admire him."
After a moment of silence, the old man in the underworld slowly spoke.
“I didn’t expect that this world had just revived, and the spiritual energy was not yet sufficient, but a peerless figure like you could be born.
This time, I admit defeat. Tell me, what do you want me to do in order for you to let go of my remaining soul?
Whether it is a technique or a treasure, I can give it to you.
I was once a cultivator in the Yuanshen realm, and I know countless profound skills and supernatural powers.
It can allow you to easily step into the realm of the supreme spirit.
He also knew the locations of the caves of many ancient immortal sects and how to open the secret spiritual realms.
As long as you want, I can give it to you!"
There was a certain inexplicable temptation in the tone of the old man from the underworld.
The words spoken are even more shocking and full of temptation.
Hearing this, the powerful men around all had burning eyes and surging hearts.
Even the old Taoist priest, who was at the Golden Core stage with a firm faith in Taoism, couldn't help but breathe heavier.
Only Lu Qing remained calm, without any emotion.
On the contrary, he looked at the gray ghost face transformed by the old man of the underworld with a half-smile.
"Don't use your mere tricks to embarrass yourself.
Besides, I don’t even care about your little inheritance of skills and trifling tricks.”
Such humiliating words made Old Man Youming turn pale.
But Lu Qing ignored it and continued:
“As for the reason why I forced you out, it’s actually very simple.
I just want to see what the powerful souls of the last era of immortal cultivation were like.
And, in front of so many people, I will refine you to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless transparent flames rose up again in the illusory cauldron, wrapping up the gray ghost face that the old man in the underworld had conjured up, along with the gray bone claw, and burning them together!
"Ah! How dare you, boy!"
Lu Qing's sudden change of hostility caught Old Man Youming off guard and he was extremely shocked and angry.
But it was too late for him to rant about anything.
Because he discovered that the Nanming Lihuo that Lu Qing activated this time was more ferocious than before.
In just a few breaths, his gray ghost face was burned and purified, and he began to directly refine the body of the Netherworld Ghost Claw.
However, the gray energy he activated was completely unstoppable.
The old man in the underworld knew that this time, Lu Qing was serious about it.
At that moment, he didn't care about anything else and had to use all his strength to mobilize the power of the Netherworld Ghost Claw to resist.
Otherwise, once the Nanming Lihuo invades the interior of the ghost claw, he will be in a truly irretrievable situation.
However, when Old Man Youming was trying his best to resist the Nanming Lihuo, he was horrified to find out.
The power of the Nanming Lihuo that Lu Qing activated was beyond his imagination.
The gray energy of the Netherworld Ghost Claw was completely powerless to resist.
Just a touch, like the snow coming into contact with a red-hot iron, it quickly melted and burned into nothingness.
"Impossible, this kid is only at the Golden Core stage, why is the Nanming Lihuo he activated so terrifying!"
The old man in the underworld was filled with disbelief.
Although he could not see through Lu Qing's specific strength and realm, he could be sure that Lu Qing had definitely not entered the Yuanshen realm.
Because the world today has only just revived.
The rules of heaven and earth have not yet evolved to the level sufficient to give birth to powerful beings in the realm of Yuanshen.
Not to mention the Yuanshen realm, even the late Jindan realm is impossible.
But now, the power of the Nanming Lihuo that Lu Qing activated has far exceeded what the Jindan realm can activate.
Even compared to the Yuanshen realm, I'm afraid it's not much worse.
"Could it be that the spirit of the Lihuo Ding is still alive and has already recognized this kid as its master?
But even so, a mere Jindan realm cannot fully activate the power of a mid-grade spiritual weapon!"
Thoughts raced through the mind of the old man in the underworld, but he just couldn’t figure it out.
Seeing that the gray gas accumulated by the Netherworld Ghost Claw was almost consumed, the Nanming Lihuo was about to break through the last layer of defense and actually invade.
The old man in the underworld was completely anxious.
He roared wildly: "Boy, are you really so ruthless that you want to kill us all?"
"Good and evil cannot coexist. How can I have any feelings for an ancient ghost like you?"
Lu Qing's eyes were cold, and instead of extinguishing the flame, he stretched out his hand and clenched it.
With his action, the power of the Nanming Lihuo in the illusory cauldron increased again and suddenly compressed towards the center.
With a bang, the last layer of gray gas was burned and rushed into the interior of the Netherworld Ghost Claw.
The powerful flames burned through the restrictions inside layer by layer and rushed straight to the core position.
"No!"
The old man in the underworld didn't expect that Lu Qing still had some strength left.
Looking at the Nanming Lihuo that was surging like a raging tide, Old Man Youming was really panicked.
He shouted hurriedly: "Daoyou, please show mercy. I am willing to submit to you, recognize you as my master, and become the spiritual weapon in your hand!"
At this moment, Old Man Netherworld no longer cared about his reputation as an ancient and powerful spirit, and directly begged for mercy.
"A mere evil spiritual weapon is worthy of recognizing me as its master?"
However, facing the old man's plea for mercy, Lu Qing showed disdain.
The Nanming Lihuo, which had already rushed into the Netherworld Ghost Claw, mercilessly broke through the core restrictions inside and swept towards the spiritual being transformed by the Netherworld Old Man.
"ah!!!"
The old man in the underworld abandoned his physical body and took over the spirit of the weapon.
Although he survived the five calamities of heaven and man, he managed to save his life.
But he was still seriously injured and inevitably fell into a deep sleep.
In addition, during the tens of thousands of years when spiritual energy was depleted, it has not been able to receive spiritual nourishment.
As a result, he has not yet fully recovered and his spirit is not strong.
Because, at the moment when he was surrounded by the Nanming Lihuo, the old man in the underworld fell into immense fear.
He felt his own spiritual power being quickly burned and disintegrated.
The boundless pain that pierced his heart and soul could not suppress the panic in the old man's heart.
He screamed in horror: "Mercy, my friend, mercy!"
But what they got in return was an even more violent Nanming Lihuo.
Feeling Lu Qing's killing intention, the old man in the underworld suddenly became desperate.
At this moment, he felt infinite regret in his heart.
He shouldn't act too hastily. He should continue to lie low and slowly recover his strength.
In that case, even if the recovery is slower, it won't end up like this.
After living for tens of thousands of years, he ended up being completely destroyed both physically and spiritually.
"Ah! I hate it! Boy, you will die a miserable death!!"
As the last bit of his spirituality was burned, the old man in the underworld uttered a very shrill curse.
Then there was no more sound, and he completely perished in endless regret and unwillingness.
Sensing the disappearance of the Old Man of the Netherworld, Lu Qing retracted his magic spell, and the surging Nanming Fire slowly dissipated.
The illusory ancient fiery red cauldron also disappeared.
Only a white bone claw remained in the air.
Lu Qing stretched out his hand and took the white bone claw in his hand.
The bone claw at this time has completely changed in appearance compared to before.
Not only is it no longer hideous, but it also has the texture of white jade, and it looks vaguely sacred.
"Young Master, this bone claw is a rare treasure that the old ghost of the underworld got from somewhere.
After being refined by him with evil methods for countless years, it turned into the Netherworld Ghost Claw.
Now that it has been refined by you with the Nanming Lihuo, all the evil spirits have been gone and all the sins have been wiped out.
I’m afraid it has already become a very useful material for refining equipment.”
The voice of "Yan" came into Lu Qing's mind.
As a grandmaster on the verge of retirement, "Yan"'s eyes for identifying various refining materials are extremely vicious.
What's more, when Lu Qing activated the Nanming Lihuo before, he also relied on its power.
Therefore, it has a certain understanding of the material of this white bone claw.
Hearing "Yan"'s words, Lu Qing nodded slightly.
He casually put away the white bone claw.
I have important things to do right now, so I'll talk about refining equipment later.
After putting away the white bone claws, Lu Qing looked around.
But he saw that the strong men around him were looking at him with eyes of great awe.
He was not surprised.
Or rather, this was exactly the effect he wanted.
When he was refining the Old Ghost of the Netherworld just now, why did he prefer to expend more energy and refine it with the Big Cauldron of Illusion instead of directly using the Lihuo Cauldron?
He just wanted to make an example of someone and kill an ancient spirit in front of so many people.
So far, the effect seems quite good.
Seeing Lu Qing looking over, all the strong men around subconsciously avoided his gaze and did not dare to meet his eyes.
There's no way, this person is just too scary.
What was that just now? It was the remnant soul of a real ancient powerful being who had survived from the last era of immortal cultivation and possessed countless secrets.
Lu Qing said that if someone were to be refined to death, then he would be refined to death without leaving any chance for survival.
Even if he was tempted by countless skills and magic weapons, he would not be moved at all.
His resolute character and ruthless methods made all the powerful people feel extremely awed.
At this moment, no one dared to doubt that what Lu Qing said before, that he would kill them all, was a lie.
If you really make this guy angry, he will really kill everyone!
After looking around and seeing that no one dared to look at him, Lu Qing's gaze finally fell on Meng Dian who was lying on the ground.
Feeling Lu Qing's gaze, Meng Dian's body trembled and fear appeared in his eyes.
"Meng Dian, what else do you have to say?" Lu Qing said lightly.
Meng Dian's face turned pale and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
Lu Qing shook his head: "Although you were bewitched by this old ghost of the underworld, you have no evil thoughts in your heart, so the old ghost of the underworld cannot seduce you.
Those creatures that were refined also died in your hands.
No matter how you try to justify yourself, the sins on your hands cannot be washed away.
Although he is a righteous cultivator, he kills many lives and refines evil treasures.
What is the difference between such behavior and that of evil practitioners!
Your sins must be punished!"
Hearing Lu Qing's last words, Meng Dian's eyes suddenly widened, revealing extreme fear.
However, before he could open his mouth to beg for mercy, a wisp of invisible sword energy had already landed on the center of his eyebrows.
His head was pierced, the acupoint between his eyebrows was completely destroyed, and the soul and consciousness inside were completely annihilated.
Meng Dian's body stiffened, and then his hands and feet went limp. He completely lost consciousness and his life was gone.
