Let those scum pay their blood debts with blood.
Lu Qing took a deep breath, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and continued to rapidly shift through the stars, heading towards the next Black and White Temple sub-temple. His speed was extraordinarily fast, covering billions of miles with each stride, the surrounding stars receding into streaks of light. Suddenly, his heart and spirit stirred, causing him to halt. He floated in the starry expanse, casting a cold gaze in a particular direction, sensing an intensely potent malice approaching. This palpable, cloying, and frigid malice made him uneasy. Judging by its rapid advance, it was clearly aimed at him, traveling at a speed far exceeding that of the previous Black and White Temple elders, signaling an unfriendly arrival. "So, a significant figure has finally appeared?" Lu Qing's heart and spirit stirred, a flicker of cold intent appearing in his eyes. He had previously extinguished two Harmonization Elders from the Black and White Temple who attempted to impede him. While their auras were not weak, they paled in comparison to this overwhelming malice. It was evident that a prominent individual from the Black and White Temple was on their way – perhaps an esteemed elder, or even someone of higher standing. Lu Qing made no move to evade, merely remaining still in the starry void, awaiting the malice's arrival. He intended to ascertain precisely who the Black and White Temple had dispatched. Just as Lu Qing's thoughts were coalescing, the space not far ahead of him began to ripple violently and chaotically, a marked contrast to his own spatial shifting. His method was akin to a fish gliding through water, silent and undetectable, whereas this figure's arrival resembled a boulder crashing into a placid lake, creating immense waves. In the following moment, a peculiar silhouette clad in black and white robes materialized. The figure was tall, standing half a head above average, with hands reaching practically to their knees and a somewhat peculiar stance. An eerie black mist concealed their face, rendering their features indiscernible, save for a pair of eyes emitting a faint glow from within the swirling vapor. This glow was chilling, cruel, and bloodthirsty, sending a shiver down the spine of any observer. What truly captivated Lu Qing’s attention, however, was the terrifying aura emanating from this presence. The malice was overwhelming, surpassing any foe he had encountered previously. It was not the typical murderous aura of ordinary cultivators but something far more strangely dreadful. Clammy and tangible, it imbued the surrounding space with a faint black tinge. Lu Qing vaguely perceived a similarity between this malice and the dark power residing deep within the Dark Abyss – a force that seemed alien to this world, cold, violent, and brimming with destructive intent. Lu Qing's gaze sharpened slightly. He had indeed encountered this kind of power before: within the Dark Abyss, upon the lifeless form of a Mysterious Transformation Great Power, and amidst countless Demon Fire Monsters, he had sensed similar auras. However, the malice radiating from the figure before him was more restrained, more profound, and disconcertingly more humanized. It appeared to be held in check by an unseen will, yet capable of erupting at any instant. "Intriguing," Lu Qing mused silently, his expression unwavering. The figure also noticed Lu Qing, hovering in the starry sky about a hundred meters away, initiating a silent confrontation. The eyes flickering within the black mist assessed Lu Qing, revealing a mixture of scrutiny, curiosity, and a subtle hint of… avarice. A moment of silent standoff ensued between the two. It was Lu Qing who broke the silence first, his voice level and devoid of discernible emotion, yet carrying a sliver of disdain. "So, a barely passable Demon Child has finally arrived? I had presumed the Black and White Temple would merely dispatch nameless fodder to perish." A flicker of cold intent crossed the Deputy Temple Master's eyes. He let out a low snort, his voice grating and deep, like the sound of metal scraping against metal. "Are you the vermin from the gutters, secretly meddling in my Black and White Temple’s affairs?" His gaze swept over Lu Qing, and his pupils contracted slightly. He had perceived it. The young man before him was not the true body but merely a Divine Thought Avatar. This realization sent a jolt of shock through the Deputy Temple Master. He had never fathomed that the entity secretly despoiling the Heavenly Demon Pool was merely a Divine Thought Avatar. A Divine Thought Avatar possessing such formidable strength – capable of slaying Harmonization Realm elders, annihilating the Heavenly Demon Pool, and even instilling a sense of peril within him – how immensely powerful must its true body be? The Deputy Temple Master's heart and spirit reeled as he scrutinized Lu Qing's countenance with renewed intensity. Upon closer inspection, his expression underwent an immediate transformation. This particular visage was one he recognized.
It was a face that had been prominently marked in the intelligence reports after Mo Cangtian and others’ main bodies were slain.
That anomalous figure in cultivation who achieved the Harmonization Realm with nine Great Daos.
The Deputy Temple Master did not expect that the one undermining their plans would be this person.
What scared him even more was that the other party had only recently reached the Harmonization Realm, but now even the mere Divine Thought Avatar made him feel a sense of danger.
The danger was slight but real, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, causing him to feel uneasy instinctively.
His intuition told him that although the young man before him was just a clone, if they were to engage in battle, victory would not come easily.
A clone made him feel threatened?
Then just how powerful must his true body be?
A chill surged in the Deputy Temple Master’s heart.
The temple master’s previous deduction was that although Lu Qing had achieved Harmonization with nine Great Daos and had infinite potential, he had just recently broken through and required time to grow.
So they did not need to care about him temporarily and could deal with him after completing their plan.
But now it seemed the temple master was wrong.
The growth speed of this brat was far beyond their expectations.
Not much time had passed, yet his Divine Thought Avatar had already grown to such a degree.
If he were given more time to continue growing...
The Deputy Temple Master dared not think further.
He instantly judged that if he did not eliminate this brat early, he would become the greatest obstacle to their plan.
He might even cause the entire plan to fail.
Immediately, the Deputy Temple Master’s intent to kill surged.
The light in his eyes turned colder, and the malice on him grew denser.
"So it’s you." He spoke coldly, his voice carrying a hint of dread and a hint of murderous intent, "Mo Cangtian and the others died at your hands."
Lu Qing said indifferently, "That’s right, it was me. So, do you want to avenge them?"
"Avenge?" The Deputy Temple Master laughed coldly, his tone full of disdain, "Those nameless individuals, dead are dead.
I just didn’t expect you to dare show up here.
You should have hidden away, cultivated well, and come out only when you were strong enough.
Instead of coming to your death like this, not knowing your limits."
"Coming to death?" Lu Qing also laughed, his smile carrying a hint of mockery, "Just by you?"
The Deputy Temple Master’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Kid, I know you achieved Harmonization with nine Great Daos, and your strength is extraordinary.
But after all, you just recently broke through, and your Harmonization Body hasn’t reached Small Success, right?
Do you think that with just a Divine Thought Avatar, you can act presumptuous in front of me?"
Lu Qing said calmly, "You can try."
The Deputy Temple Master said no more.
He knew that saying anything else was superfluous.
The battle between them was unavoidable.
The malice on the Deputy Temple Master’s body began to surge wildly.
The black mist emanated from him, turning the surrounding space pitch black.
Within the mist, countless faces struggled and wailed; those were the souls of the living creatures he had devoured, trapped within, never allowed to be reborn.
His aura continued to climb.
Mid-stage of Integration, Late-stage Integration, Great Success of Harmony...
It climbed up to the Peak of Unity Great Success, stopping just one step away from Perfect Harmony.
Such powerful and immense aura caused the surrounding stars to tremble slightly.
Lu Qing watched this scene, his expression still calm.
But a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
Peak of Unity Great Success.
This was the strongest enemy he had encountered.
Moreover, the similar power to the Dark Abyss on his opponent also forced him to be cautious.
That power was strange and formidable, unlike anything this starry sky should possess.
But Lu Qing did not retreat.
He took a deep breath, the aura around him began to surge as well.
Various mysterious essences of the Great Dao emerged on his body.
