System's Super Sect Chapter 982 919: Slay Qiongqi and Seize Opportunity

Witnessing this spectacle, Wen Ping couldn't help but query the system, "Does this Qiongqi's Demon Pill contain what you refer to as a will?"

"It does not possess one; only a Demon Immortal can imbue a Demon Pill with a will," the system responded instantly.

Wen Ping inquired further, "After its demise, will all of its cultivated Qi be retained within the Demon Pill?"

This was the query that weighed most heavily on his mind.

Indeed, this question would dictate whether he would commit to the ongoing conflict.

"Affirmative."

Having received a definitive confirmation from the system, Wen Ping resolved to vanquish the Qiongqi before him.

The Qiongqi's defensive and offensive prowess was truly exceptional, surpassing Dark Stream Annihilation by a significant margin. Of course, this comparison solely pertains to their raw power.

After all, it is a formidable demon beast encountered within the realm of cultivation.

It originates from a world of a superior tier.

Even if Lucifer and his companions were to join the fray, their presence might only serve as a minor distraction.

Consequently, the responsibility of eliminating the Qiongqi falls solely upon my shoulders.

Following my breakthrough to Earth Unrestricted, I neglected to apply the Vortex Map to my Meridian Gate. However, the present circumstances necessitate its immediate application.

Wen Ping promptly activated the Vortex Pattern Transformer. The conversion to a Four-Vortex Vortex Map incurs a cost of 3,000 White Crystals, whereas the Five-Vortex Vortex Map demands a steep 50,000 White Crystals. While the latter is considerably more expensive, Wen Ping now possesses the financial capacity to afford it.

Subsequently, Wen Ping produced the Life Core Pendant.

With a gentle flourish, he swung it!

He harbored a fervent hope that the pendulum motion of the Life Core Pendant would bless him with good fortune, potentially bestowing upon him a highly desirable special ability.

Remarkably fortunate.

The Life Core Pendant did not cease its motion upon returning, but rather continued its trajectory.

Bolstered by the augmentation of his Luck Value, Wen Ping swiftly initiated the transformation process for the Five-Vortex Vortex Map, investing 50,000 White Crystals per attempt.

The maiden transformation granted a special ability – War God's Blessing, which amplifies power by fifty percent for a duration of fifteen minutes.

This is insufficient!

To Wen Ping, this proved to be a mere supplementary bonus, entirely inadequate to empower Dark Stream Annihilation to overcome the Qiongqi.

"Another 50,000 White Crystals are required!"

Wen Ping commenced another cycle of transformation.

The second transformation yielded a special ability – Fortune's Star, granting the user the capacity to randomly acquire boons such as accelerated injury recovery and augmented strength upon vanquishing an adversary.

Still not good enough!

Wen Ping expended an additional 50,000 White Crystals, initiating a new sequence of transformations.

From the third, fourth, and subsequent transformations up to the tenth, Wen Ping had depleted half a million White Crystals without acquiring the coveted special ability. This expenditure left Wen Ping feeling a slight pinch, as half a million White Crystals represented a substantial sum.

Few entities operating at the Five-star Influence level could casually disburse such an amount.

"Cease this relentless drain of my resources." Wen Ping silently implored, just as an ethereal voice resonated in his ear.

[Blessing of the Life Core!]

[You have obtained an S-level rare special ability – Defense Weakening!]

[Upon striking an enemy, their defensive capabilities are reduced by fifty percent for a period of ten seconds.]

"This is precisely what I needed!"

Wen Ping exclaimed with unrestrained joy.

It was the perfect countermeasure!

Wen Ping immediately made his selection, then retrieved the transformed Five-Vortex Vortex Map and sought out a secluded location to initiate its absorption.

The process of absorbing the Five-Vortex Vortex Map was not rapid, consuming a full hour of Wen Ping's time. By the time the absorption was complete, the surrounding landscape for miles had been utterly devastated by the ongoing conflict between Qiongqi and Dark Stream Annihilation.

The scene bore the resemblance of an apocalyptic event!

Throughout their fierce engagement, Qiongqi grew increasingly ferocious, filling the atmosphere with the cacophony of battle and its guttural roars. Dark Stream Annihilation, leveraging its capacity for transformation and its inherent immortal nature, managed to contend on relatively equal footing with Qiongqi. However, it was unable to secure a decisive advantage.

This was attributable to Qiongqi's vastly superior strength and the extraordinarily resilient defense of its demonic physique.

If this protracted struggle continued, the battle could potentially extend for days, if not weeks, without a conclusion. Furthermore, it risked attracting the attention of more formidable entities from deeper within the region. This area was merely the periphery; one could only speculate about the existence of other beings possessing comparable or even greater power elsewhere.

Subsequently, Wen Ping remotely directed his Flying Sword towards Qiongqi, launching a distant assault. However, Qiongqi merely cast a dismissive glance at the approaching sword, failing to even acknowledge it as a threat, let alone attempt to defend itself.

"Never before have I experienced such blatant underestimation." Wen Ping maneuvered his sword, circling Qiongqi without precipitating an immediate attack.

The S-level rare ability, while potent, necessitated that Wen Ping's strike successfully land upon the target.

Should the attack be intercepted, its efficacy would be nullified.

Therefore, Wen Ping had to carefully identify the opportune moment and establish mental synchronization with Dark Stream Annihilation.

The instant its defenses were compromised, Dark Stream Annihilation would be expected to unleash its ultimate skill.

Whoosh—

The Flying Sword zipped through the heavens, buzzing around Qiongqi and Dark Stream Annihilation like an irritating insect. At that precise moment, Qiongqi sprang towards Dark Stream Annihilation. While airborne, Wen Ping's blade sliced the air, targeting Qiongqi and landing a blow.

Clang—

The sword impacted Qiongqi's rear, yet it was deflected, merely producing a shower of sparks as it scraped across the surface.

Dark Stream Annihilation then elevated its Black Scythe, and the Black Scythe Harvest technique was unleashed without delay, manifesting a colossal black crescent across the firmament.

Boom!

The strike from the Black Scythe collided with Qiongqi. However, on this occasion, Qiongqi's demonic form was no longer impenetrable.

The instant the Black Scythe made contact with Qiongqi, the creature repelled it with overwhelming force. Despite this, the scythe managed to carve an inch deep into Qiongqi's back. With a forceful tug from Dark Stream Annihilation, a gaping, bloody wound was ripped open.

A pained bellow erupted from Qiongqi as it unleashed a torrent of demonic power, violently shoving Dark Stream Annihilation's Black Scythe away, propelling it back a hundred meters.

Qiongqi's demeanor turned feral as it noticed the gash on its own back, its fury escalating uncontrollably. With a deafening roar, the entire sky began to suffuse with a dark crimson hue. Within this ominous sky, Qiongqi rapidly grew in size, its speed and formidable strength ascending to unprecedented heights.
