Chapter 594: Chapter 137 Source Bat Annihilation

“Whoosh!”

Li Qingming rose to his feet and casually changed into a green Daoist robe, stepping out of the water pool with a vibrant spirit.

“Big brother, have you recovered?” Li Qingquan looked at the fully recovered Li Qingming with surprise and said.

Li Qingming had a gentle smile on his face and lightly patted Li Qingming’s shoulder, saying, “I have fully recovered! Sorry to have worried you all!”

“Heh heh, that’s great! It wasn’t a waste of those Spirit Pills and Divine Ores after all. The Life Source Liquid truly is a treasure!” Li Qingquan’s face lit up with a smile as he laughed heartily.

Li Qingming shook his head and looked towards Prince Sangla, who was still lying on the ground.

Seeing his shabby and disheveled appearance, he couldn’t help but ask with curiosity, “What’s the deal with this guy?”

Yang Jian stepped forward and explained to Li Qingming the series of events that had occurred inside the battleship.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingming let out a cold laugh, gave Prince Sangla a kick, and said, “I thought you had some value and wanted to spare your life. But your performance deeply disappointed me! It just so happens I’ve had a breakthrough in my Cultivation. The previous Soul Search was useless on you; I wonder how it would be now? Let’s see if your luck is still holding up!”

With that, a cruel smile appeared on the corners of Li Qingming’s mouth.

“I was wrong, esteemed sir, I won’t dare do it again, please spare my life!” At this moment, seeing the cruel smile on Li Qingming’s lips, Prince Sangla was genuinely frightened.

Recalling everything from the moment he’d met Li Qingming until now, he felt a chill in his heart and didn’t dare harbor any thoughts of resistance.

But by the time he realized this, it seemed to be too late.

Li Qingming simply ignored Prince Sangla’s pleas for mercy, pointed his finger lightly, and a refreshing stream of Yuqing True Essence appeared on his fingertip, pressing against Prince Sangla’s forehead.

In an instant, Prince Sangla’s top of the skull became translucent, with a golden Source Bat flashing within his Sea of Consciousness.

This time, using the Soul Searching Technique, Li Qingming started with the Source Bat, the root of Prince Sangla’s power. Using the power of the Source Bat to invade deep into his Sea of Consciousness, he stripped away his memories.

In fact, in the Pangu Great Thousand World, many Cultivators have a deep aversion to the Soul Searching Technique, practicing Cultivation without sentiment, hoping to have fewer distractions in their hearts and be closer to the Great Dao.

It was for this reason that many Cultivators would shun the practice of Soul Search, seeing it as harmful to harmony, and prone to causing distracting thoughts that are not beneficial for Cultivation.

However, Li Qingming didn’t care about this at all, his true self had already transcended. Exploring someone else’s memories was nothing more than a passerby action to him. A few worldly memories could not disturb his Dao Heart.

“Success!” A flash of surprise crossed Li Qingming’s mind as he focused intently on examining those fragments of golden memories.

The memories were highly chaotic, including the methods to control Pyramid Battleships, the overall power structure of the Technology Mysterious City, the violent and brutal adventures in other Central Heaven Worlds, and the scenes of slaughtering the Sky Wolf Clan…

The memories protected by the golden clouds… one by one, they flowed through the Primordial Spirit of Li Qingming.

…

A quarter of an hour later, Li Qingming withdrew his hands, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Looking at Prince Sangla again, he did not escape the fate of becoming an idiot this time, his face showing a silly and vacant expression, and the Source Bat in his brain’s Sea of Consciousness began to dissipate slowly.

“Your Highness, what happened to you?” Eliza and Thor, seeing this, rushed over to Sangla’s side and gently shook him.

Sangla looked at them blankly, his mouth issuing the unconscious sounds of “hehe… hehe…”

Eliza and Thor were taken aback, not knowing what Li Qingming had done to Prince Sangla.

Therefore, both glared at Li Qingming and said with anger, “Damn you, what have you done to our prince?”

“He’s become an idiot! Better to put him out of his misery than live like this,” said Li Qingming, flicking his finger, and a green fire lotus emerged from his fingertips, flung towards Sangla’s body.

“Boom!”

The green flames pierced into Sangla’s body through his mouth and nose without any hesitation.

In an instant, flames erupted like a waterfall, blazing fiercely, and engulfing Sangla’s body. The blinding light filled the entire upper space of the pyramid, with nothing but a green fiery blaze in one’s sight.

“Ah!”

Prince Sangla screamed as his entire body turned into a furnace.

In the next instant, the fire had burned his body and the Source Bat to ashes.

“Your Highness!”

“No, Prince!”

Eliza and Thor cried out in hoarse voices, as if they were the ones enduring the fire.

Li Qingming swept a breeze to dissipate the scorched smell lingering in the space and said to Eliza and Thor, “Now I give you two choices: one is to stay obediently in the battleship and wait to return to the Technology Mysterious City; the other is to be killed by me right now. Make your choice!”

Eliza and Thor exchanged glances, their breathing gradually becoming rapid, their minds in a state of extreme unrest. But now, like fish on the chopping block, if they didn’t want to die, they could only meekly obey.

Both of them helplessly nodded at Li Qingming, stuttering, “Bi-Big shot… We-we choose… the-the first option…”

Li Qingming nodded slightly and said, “Now, hand over all the mechas on your bodies!”

Eliza and Thor looked startled, and after hesitating for a while, they gritted their teeth and removed a sparkling bracelet and ring from their wrists and fingers respectively, and handed them over to Li Qingming.

At this moment, Yin Xi and the others had the opportunity to come forward and ask, “Qingming, how is it going?”

“I’ve gained a lot from the Soul Search this time! I now also have a comprehensive understanding of the current Technology Mysterious City,” Li Qingming replied with a smile to Yin Xi while walking towards the metal table split in two.

“So what do we do next? We’ve offended the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, and if he’s smart enough, he’s probably already on his way to the Technology Mysterious City!” Yin Xi frowned, clearly wary of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons.

Li Qingming lightly pressed the edge of the left metal table, bringing the two halves back together, and said, “No, senior! The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons won’t be going to the Technology Mysterious City!”

“Hmm? Why?” Yin Xi was somewhat puzzled.

Tapping the control console set on the metal table, Li Qingming said, “Senior, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons sent me a voice transmission just now, saying he was in retreat. Plus, I’ve blinded his eyes; he needs time to heal! He won’t move until his injuries improve.”

Yin Xi suddenly slapped his forehead, saying, “Right! He did say that! It seems we don’t need to be so tense now!”

Li Qingming broke into a smile and said, “We will continue on the Path to Heaven! But this time, we have a purpose. This battleship has been to most Central Heaven Worlds on the Path to Heaven. Moreover, whenever they reached a Central Heaven World, Sangla and his crew would leave a Void Magic Array. We can directly traverse the void, one by one, which also saves us a lot of time!”

“Really?” Long Xuhu and Li Qingquan exclaimed with joy, saying, “Finally, we don’t have to endure the tedious flying anymore!”

“Ha ha ha…”

The rest of the group visibly startled, then burst into hearty laughter.

…

“Ding ding ding… ding ding ding…”

Just as Li Qingming was about to set up the Void Domain Gate, the electronic alarm sound went off again inside the Pyramid Battleship:

“Attention, an unidentified spaceship is approaching from the right-rear side of the battleship; please be prepared for contact! Repeat, please be aware…”

“Hmm?” Li Qingming frowned and then activated the holographic image.

In the void not far from the Pyramid Battleship, the Sky Wolf, which looked like a ferocious blue shark, was slowly approaching.

“Hey, how could I almost forget about him!” Li Qingming slapped his forehead and casually sent a request for a video call.

The request was accepted almost instantly.

“Swoosh!”

The figures of Jack and the Matthews brothers appeared on the screen.

Looking across the screen and seeing Ricky still lying unconscious on the ground, Jack said, “Li, Fellow Daoist Li… my brother is not hurt, right?”

Li Qingming raised his hand and cast a stream of Qing light to awaken Ricky and said, “Let him tell you himself!”

With the Qing light entering him, Ricky looked around in a daze. Upon seeing Li Qingming, his face revealed a trace of remorse. He struggled to get up, bowed to Li Qingming, and said, “I’m so sorry, Fellow Daoist Li! Did I drag you down with me? Is this the legendary Soul Burial Land?”

“Err…”

Everyone inside the Pyramid Battleship, including Jack and the Matthews brothers on the screen, was lined with a metaphorical black streak across their foreheads, thinking, “Has this guy’s mind been scared out of whack?”

Long Xuhu touched the Dragon Horn on his head and said in frustration, “Hey, buddy! You’re not dead, and neither are we!”

“Ah?” Ricky took another look around, and when he saw the holographic image above his head, he finally came to his senses and embarrassingly touched the back of his head, giving a sheepish laugh.

On the other side of the screen, Jack and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Fellow Daoist Li, thank you for saving my brother!”

“No need to be polite, we would have encountered the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons eventually anyway,” Li Qingming waved his hand and continued, “Where do you plan to go now?”

Jack said without hesitation, “Of course, we’ll follow you! I’ve already disbanded my pirate brothers, and we will follow you until we find the Creation Items of the Technology Mysterious City for you!”

“Alright then!” Li Qingming nodded in satisfaction, and then had Li Qingquan take Ricky back to the Sky Wolf and requested Li Qingquan to stay in command of the Sky Wolf.

Of course, this was also meant as a form of surveillance.

Afterward, Li Qingming fiddled with the control console for a while, allowed the battleship to absorb enough Star Power, and prepared the Domain Gate.

An hour later, a cool glow mysteriously appeared in the void, looking as though it was cast from metal, shimmering with a chill luster, its interior filled with an Illusion.

Li Qingming piloted the Pyramid Battleship, leading the Sky Wolf behind him, turning into a streak of light that entered the Domain Gate.

After what seemed an indefinite flight within the Domain Gate, they finally saw the light, rushing out from the Domain Gate, and entering a desolate starry sky!

Looking at the dim stars in the cosmic void, Li Qingming’s brows furrowed as he said, “Is this really the Cold Star Origin World?” (To be continued.
