#247 - Longevity and Power
Li Yuan recalled his life.
In his childhood, under his father's supervision.
Just like the children cultivating below the Li family at this moment, his face was covered with sweat and his eyes were firm.
In his youth, he showed his talent for the first time, and his cultivation realm was far ahead of his peers in the Li family.
Later, after hundreds of years of hard work, he finally inherited the position of patriarch.
After becoming the patriarch, Li Yuan looked at the Li family, which was unable to make further progress in the Great Ming Dynasty.
A terrible idea sprouted in Li Yuan's heart. Why not overthrow the Great Ming Dynasty and replace it with the Li family's rule?
Driven by this idea, Li Yuan contacted the Great Qin Dynasty.
He wanted to use the power of the Great Qin Dynasty to change the current situation of the Great Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.
The Li family would then take the opportunity to replace the heavens and the earth and become the true overlord of the Great Ming Dynasty.
He never expected that after years of forbearance, he would end up in such a situation.
Li Yuan sighed in his heart: "I hope the Li family will still exist after my death..."
.......
The aura of self-destruction on Li Yuan's body had reached its peak.
The surrounding Mahayana realm cultivators couldn't help but show a trace of anxiety on their faces.
Li Yuan, in the late stage of the Mahayana realm, self-destructing was not a joke.
Once the self-destruction succeeded, the power would be absolutely astonishing.
Under the anxiety of the crowd, Qin Yi finally took action.
"Killing Life·Seizing Life!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A series of thunderous sounds rang from the Killing Life Blade.
Qin Yi raised the Killing Life Blade high and slashed towards Li Yuan.
A purple thunderbolt flew out from the Killing Life Blade and instantly arrived above Li Yuan's head.
"Boom!"
The purple thunderbolt struck down fiercely on top of Li Yuan's head.
The purple thunderbolt was too fast, and Li Yuan was on the verge of self-destruction, so he didn't have time to react at all.
After the purple thunderbolt struck Li Yuan, the aura of self-destruction paused.
The spiritual power in his body, along with his vitality, rapidly drained away...
After one breath, more than half of the spiritual power in Li Yuan's body had drained away.
After two breaths, the spiritual power in Li Yuan's body was completely exhausted.
After three breaths, a wisp of white hair appeared on Li Yuan's originally black head.
After five breaths, Li Yuan's head was full of white hair, and his tight and moist skin began to loosen.
After ten breaths, Li Yuan was like a dying old man, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
After eleven breaths, Li Yuan's body swayed from side to side, as if he could fall down at any time.
Li Yuan stretched out his wrinkled hand, and his once sharp eyes were now blurred when looking at things.
Just like an old man without cultivation, symptoms of presbyopia appeared.
Li Yuan clearly felt that the vitality in his body had reached its end, and there was not a trace of the once surging spiritual power.
"This is... what kind of saber technique?" Li Yuan's hoarse throat said vaguely.
His bodily functions were severely affected, he felt dizzy and his limbs trembled...
Even the cold he had only felt in his youth appeared on Li Yuan's body.
At this moment, Li Yuan's cultivation in the late stage of the Mahayana realm began to decline sharply.
Mid-Mahayana realm...
Early Mahayana realm...
Late Tribulation realm...
Early Tribulation realm...
Integration realm...
Refining Void realm...
His cultivation was like riding a roller coaster, falling directly from the Mahayana realm to the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm in just a few breaths.
Li Yuan's thousand years of cultivation were lost in one day!
For a cultivator, this was more uncomfortable than killing him.
After Li Yuan's cultivation fell to the Foundation Establishment realm, it was naturally impossible for him to maintain his flight in the sky.
Li Yuan's body fell rapidly like a puppet with a broken string.
During the fall, Li Yuan's body began to disintegrate little by little.
In every breath, Li Yuan's body seemed to be isolated from this world.
The flow of time in the world outside Li Yuan was normal, but on Li Yuan's body, the flow of time seemed to have hundreds or thousands of years passing in a second.
In this strange disintegration, when Li Yuan's body was still halfway from the ground, it completely turned into fly ash and disappeared completely into this world.
The many Mahayana realm experts present were speechless for a long time when they saw this strange scene.
Their expressions were different, but the only thing they had in common was that a trace of fear that could not be dispelled appeared in the depths of their eyes.
Qin Yi's terrifying and unparalleled combat power was well known to everyone.
Everyone knew that Qin Yi was very powerful. If Qin Yi had killed Li Yuan quickly and decisively with one slash, the crowd would not have been so frightened.
But Qin Yi's slash was really too terrifying!
These Mahayana realm cultivators witnessed with their own eyes how Li Yuan went from a late-stage Mahayana realm expert to an old man like a candle in the wind.
The disappearance of spiritual power and vitality was already shocking enough, but then his late-stage Mahayana realm cultivation fell all the way to the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Li Yuan's body then turned into fly ash in front of everyone in a bizarre way.
Every point was constantly plucking at the nerves of the Mahayana realm cultivators present.
For the Mahayana realm, life and cultivation were equally important.
Qin Yi's slash not only took away life, but also almost reset his cultivation to zero...
When He Yan saw Qin Yi's saber technique, his heart trembled.
Although this saber technique was not used on him, he, who was by Qin Yi's side, deeply felt the horror of this saber technique.
Wang Tian looked at the place where Li Yuan had turned into fly ash and said, "A thousand years of cultivation lost in one day. Before his death, suffering this slash can be said to be killing someone and punishing their heart."
Jiang Yu said: "This Qin Yi has endless means. This saber technique is definitely not recorded in the intelligence of our two families."
Wang Tian said: "Yes, this guy is really too..."
Wang Tian thought for a long time before he came up with a suitable word, saying: "Too unpredictable."
Jiang Yu sighed and said: "Alas, even if Qin Yi has the support of immortals behind him, this is too..."
"Are all the people favored by every immortal so perverted?"
Wang Tian opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer Jiang Yu's words.
Wang Tian had only seen fragments about immortals in the family's classics, and Jiang Yu's words were somewhat beyond his cognitive range.
Ying Gan shook his head in front of the two and said, "Clan Leader Jiang, you are overthinking it."
"Among the disciples favored by immortals that I know, there is not one who can be compared with Qin Yi."
"Even the most outstanding among them is somewhat dull compared to Qin Yi."
Jiang Yu heard Ying Gan explain his doubts and said, "This Qin Yi is really a monster!"
When all the Mahayana realm cultivators had some fear in their hearts, there was one person in the scene who was different from everyone else.
This person was Ying Zhi. Ying Zhi had a gentle smile on his face and a calm expression.
When Wang Tian saw Ying Zhi's expression, he slandered in his heart: "Does this Third Prince Ying Zhi not know what fear is?"
"He was especially calm just now, and he still has this expression now. It's simply amazing."
Ying Gan was also a little puzzled by Ying Zhi's expression and asked, "Zhi'er, other people's expressions have changed more or less."
"Why is there no change in you at all? Aren't you surprised?"
