Seeing this scene, Wen Ping couldn't help but ask the system, "Does this Qiongqi's Demon Pill contain what you call a will?"

"It does not exist, only a Demon Immortal would leave a will inside a Demon Pill," the system immediately answered.

Wen Ping asked again, "After its death, will all of its cultivation be left inside the Demon Pill?"

This was his most pressing concern.

Because this would determine whether he should continue the fight.

"Yes."

Having received a definite answer from the system, Wen Ping immediately made the decision to kill the Qiongqi in front of him.

The Qiongqi's defensive and offensive capabilities were extraordinary, a cut above Dark Stream Annihilation. Of course, this refers to the gap in power alone.

After all, it is a demon beast in the realm of cultivation.

It belongs to a higher-level world.

Even if Lucifer and others join the battle, they might only serve to cause disturbances.

So this task to kill Qiongqi falls upon me alone.

After breaking through Earth Unrestricted, Wen Ping hadn't applied the Vortex Map to his Meridian Gate, but now it was the time.

Wen Ping immediately opened the Vortex Pattern Transformer. The transformation of the Four-Vortex Vortex Map costs 3,000 White Crystals, while the Five-Vortex Vortex Map costs 50,000 White Crystals. Although transforming the Five-Vortex Vortex Map is expensive, Wen Ping can afford it now.

Then, Wen Ping took out the Life Core Pendant.

He gave it a gentle swing!

Hoping the swinging of the Life Core Pendant would bring him good fortune, if luck could be on his side, he might obtain a very good special ability.

Very fortunate.

The Life Core Pendant didn't stop after swinging back, but continued to move.

With the boost from the Luck Value, Wen Ping hurriedly began the transformation of the Five-Vortex Vortex Map, 50,000 White Crystals per time.

The first transformation yielded a special ability—War God's Blessing, which increases power by fifty percent for a quarter-hour.

No!

For Wen Ping, this was a mere buffer, insufficient to assist Dark Stream Annihilation in killing Qiongqi.

"Another 50,000 White Crystals!"

Wen Ping began another round of transformation.

The second transformation yielded a special ability—Fortune's Star, allowing the user to randomly gain rewards such as injury recovery and power increases after slaying an enemy.

"No!"

Wen Ping spent another 50,000 White Crystals, opening a new round of transformation.

By the third, fourth, up to the tenth transformation, Wen Ping had spent half a million White Crystals without getting the special ability he desired. This made Wen Ping feel a pinch, as half a million White Crystals wasn't a small amount.

Few Five-star Influences could casually draw out 500,000 White Crystals.

"Don't let me waste money anymore." Wen Ping hoped, and then he heard a voice in his ear.

[Blessing of the Life Core!]

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

[When an enemy is hit, their defense is decreased by fifty percent for ten seconds.]

"That's it!"

Wen Ping rejoiced.

Exactly what I needed!

Wen Ping immediately made his choice, then took out the transformed Five-Vortex Vortex Map and found a quiet place to absorb it.

The absorption of the Five-Vortex Vortex Map wasn't fast, taking Wen Ping a full hour to complete. By the time it was done, Qiongqi and Dark Stream Annihilation had leveled everything for miles around.

As if it were the end of the world!

In their fight, Qiongqi grew more ferocious, filling the space with nothing but the sounds of battle and its roars. Dark Stream Annihilation relied on its ability to transform and its immortal nature to fight on par with Qiongqi, but it couldn't gain the upper hand.

Because Qiongqi's power far exceeded its own, and its demon body's defense was exceptionally formidable.

If this continued, the battle could last days, if not weeks, without a resolution, and might even draw in stronger beings from further in. This was just the outskirts; who knew if there were other existences as strong or stronger than Qiongqi elsewhere.

Wen Ping then controlled his Flying Sword from a distance, attacking Qiongqi remotely, but Qiongqi only glanced at his sword without a second thought, let alone bothering to defend.

"Never been underestimated like this before." Wen Ping controlled his sword, circling around Qiongqi without rushing to attack.

The S-level rare ability was powerful, but it required Wen Ping's attack to land on the enemy.

If blocked, it would be ineffective.

So Wen Ping had to find the right moment and mentally coordinated with Dark Stream Annihilation.

Once its defense was lowered, Dark Stream Annihilation would unleash its skill.

Whoosh—

The Flying Sword fluttered in the sky, buzzing around Qiongqi and Dark Stream Annihilation like a pesky fly. Just then, Qiongqi lunged at Dark Stream Annihilation, and in that airborne moment, Wen Ping's sword slashed through the air towards Qiongqi, striking it.

Clang—

The sword pierced Qiongqi's back but was deflected, only scraping out a spark.

Dark Stream Annihilation then raised its Black Scythe, and Black Scythe Harvest instantly initiated, creating a massive black crescent in the sky.

Boom!

The Black Scythe struck, clashing with Qiongqi, but this time, Qiongqi's demon body was no longer invulnerable.

The moment the Black Scythe hit Qiongqi, though Qiongqi repelled it with immense power, the scythe penetrated an inch deep into Qiongqi's back. With a jerk from Dark Stream Annihilation, a bloody gash was torn open.

Qiongqi let out a painful roar and then released immense demon power, blasting away Dark Stream Annihilation's Black Scythe, sending it flying back a hundred meters.

Qiongqi turned beastly, seeing its own back was split open, becoming extremely furious. With a roar, the entire sky slowly turned dark red, and in this sky, Qiongqi quickly enlarged, its speed and strength rising to a new level.
