However, Emperor Shitian's skills that he had accumulated for a thousand years were still lacking. He once challenged the reclusive top ten martial artist Wu Wuwei to test his own abilities, but was easily defeated and seriously injured by the less than fifty year old Wu Wuwei.
The only explanation for Li Xiu's thinking should be that Emperor Shitian is blessed with good fortune and can swallow Phoenix blood, but his innate talent is extremely dull.
Even more ironic was that Wuming is actually Emperor Shitian's descendant. The descendant of such a dull ancestor was so talented.
If Emperor Shitian had the same talent as Wuming, Li Xiu believed that it would not be difficult for Emperor Shitian to move mountains and fill seas in the past two thousand years and he would not dare to think of getting Phoenix blood in Emperor Shitian's body.
"Interesting, it seems like you've consumed Qilin blood, but surprisingly, you haven't been affected by the deep ferocity of Qilin blood."
Emperor Shitian walked around Li Xiu, his hands and feet moving as he strolled, his face blocked by an ice crystal mask, but it must have been an exaggerated expression.
"It's like... it's like you are now a fire Qilin yourself, too interesting, I don't understand, how did you do it?"
Emperor Shitian's behavior was like that of a seven or eight-year-old child, exaggerated and immature.
However, Li Xiu understood that the reason he was like this was because he saw himself as an omnipotent god, far superior to all living beings, like how people and animals don't take each other seriously when playing.
The greed in Emperor Shitian's eyes shone through the mask and onto Li Xiu. The Phoenix blood can only make him immortal, but not ageless, especially since he was severely injured by Wu Wuwei several decades ago, his body's aging process is speeding up. He cannot tolerate the supreme god of the world being an old, white-haired, wrinkled figure.
He thought of consuming Dragon Orb by slaying the dragon, but it was too dangerous and troublesome. Moreover, Dragon Orb and Phoenix blood cannot coexist. He must first get rid of the Phoenix blood and absorb Dragon Orb, which also takes time. During this time, he will be weak and vulnerable, even losing his martial arts skills and there may be losses.
But the young man in front of him, wearing a black robe, gave him hope that he could achieve immortality without having to slay the dragon. If he could learn the method of merging the bloodline of divine beasts with his own, wouldn't all problems be solved?
Emperor Shitian laughed recklessly as he thought of this, completely disregarding Li Xiu who was still standing in front of him.
"You want to know?"
Li Xiu asked, looking at the strange posture of Emperor Shitian. The latter's eyes lit up with greed, nodding and rubbing his hands like a greedy person seeing gold and silver, or a lustful person seeing a beautiful woman, without any concealment or pretense.
"Of course! Teach me! Teach me!" Emperor Shitian exclaimed.
Li Xiu rubbed his fingers and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, he slammed his arm towards Emperor Shitian, who was trying to get him to teach the method of merging the bloodline of divine beasts with his own, with a powerful force!
"Then give me the blood of Phoenix!"
In an instant, it was like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, and a loud explosion sounded!
But Li Xiu's hand slammed into Emperor Shitian's chest and abdomen, penetrating the true energy defense that Emperor Shitian had hastily set up and firmly blocking it.
Emperor Shitian's eyes showed a look of shock. He had expected that the young man in front of him would attack him, but he didn't think he would be so powerful, almost punching through his hastily set up true energy defense! If he hadn't immediately reacted, increased his true energy output and strengthened his true energy defense, he feared that this punch would have already pierced his body!
"To rely solely on physical strength is terrifying! Is it because he has fused with a divine beast's bloodline?"
Emperor Shitian speculated, his excitement growing stronger, and his determination to obtain this peculiar method became firmer.
Li Xiu's neck, arms and shoulders had blue veins rising like dragons, his skin had blood-red scales appearing, and his eyes were also infected with blood red, making him look ordinary a moment ago, but now he looked bizarre and terrifying!
In the deep pit that was cracked by the two's sudden force, Li Xiu was not easy, similarly Emperor Shitian also looked not easy, he was gradually pushed back by Li Xiu, his two legs in the already abnormally compressed pit carved out deep grooves, his two hands that were outputting true energy were slightly trembling.
The two suddenly looked at each other, Li Xiu suddenly showed a slightly ferocious smile with two rows of white teeth, Emperor Shitian said to himself, this is not good!
Next breath, Li Xiu's other hand made a knife-like gesture and fiercely stabbed towards Emperor Shitian's neck, which was a vital point, it seemed to be just one hand but it gave Emperor Shitian a feeling harder and sharper than any divine weapon!
Emperor Shitian's eyes contracted, he shouted, his whole body's true energy burst out, pushing Li Xiu back, and he seized the opportunity to jump out of the pit and quickly retreated.
Emperor Shitian's heart surged with strong fear, he must keep a distance!
This was too disadvantageous for him, his physical body may be called knife and sword difficult to hurt, but the distance between him and that mysterious black-robed young man's physical body is too great, it was almost like a fragile porcelain.
Li Xiu was relentless, he also jumped out of the deep pit, the blood-red scales on his body became more obvious, and he fiercely kicked out of the deep pit, his body like an arrow, breaking through the sound barrier, bringing fierce winds and again slammed towards Emperor Shitian!
Emperor Shitian's figure shook, he fiercely shot out his palm, the thick and terrifying true energy condensed into a towering tidal wave towards Li Xiu!
In the midst of the shock, the doors of the houses on both sides of the road in the Imperial City were broken open, the sound was extremely terrifying!
Li Xiu also raised his palm with a positive attitude. His true energy is far from that of Emperor Shitian, but his advantage is that true energy is not his main attack method, so he can consume it freely.
A faint and empty large Buddha rose behind Li Xiu, slowly striking out a solid red-gold Buddha palm towards the tide to block it!
"Boom!"
The two palms of true essence collided and burst with a fierce wave, blasting out a fierce deep pit and cutting off a wide stone road, making the wide street look like a huge snake being blocked and cut off!
The houses on both sides trembled constantly, and some even collapsed. It was a tragic scene of the dragon turning over and the storm passing by.
Emperor Shitian used ascending to Immortality step, shrinking to the size of an inch, and retreated a hundred yards with one step. Li Xiu occasionally stepped on the cracked earth and passed through the sky like a fierce storm, closely following Emperor Shitian.
Emperor Shitian was extremely wary of Li Xiu and occasionally used moves to try to stop Li Xiu's movements, but Li Xiu either dodged or counterattacked, and dozens of seconds passed without the two men really fighting, but they destroyed several streets, leaving them in ruins and full of pits!
At this time, Wuming had broken through the ghostly demon barrier and after finding that the Black Dragon sedan chair was unoccupied, he fiercely slashed the city gate open.
Gradually, the battlefield began to shift into the city, but when they entered the city and saw the ruined and dilapidated imperial city, they even forgot to fight, and all looked at the terrifying scene in front of them with a blank expression.
