The Mixed Primordial Bead shattered completely! All nine hundred and ninety-nine strands of Hunyuan Gang Qi contained within it surged into the three hundred and sixty-five acupuncture points throughout Qi Xiu's entire body in an instant. Such an action was almost equivalent to dispersing one's cultivation. If Qi Xiu could not reconverge these strands of Hunyuan Gang Qi, he would directly fall out of the Dao-Entering Realm and become an ordinary mortal once more. Perceiving all the changes within his body, Qi Xiu's expression remained unchanged.

The Hunyuan Dragon Tiger Scripture Mystery achieved one hundred percent completion in the First Realm. This scripture mystery, created by himself, was like a seed that had now taken root and begun to sprout. A torrent of comprehension and experience, as vast as mountains and seas, surged tumultuously within his mind. Quietly digesting these insights and knowledge, magnified hundreds and thousands of times over, Qi Xiu gradually entered a state of Self-Forgetfulness.

He placed his hands flat on his knees. With every inhale and exhale, his chest rose and fell. The dragon coiled and the tiger crouched, Yin Yang intermingling. Gradually, Qi Xiu's body began to exude two streams of Yin Yang Qi. Without the Mixed Primordial Bead to harmonize them, [Primordial] was split anew into Yin and Yang. The two streams of Qi contended fiercely with each other. Qi Xiu's face also turned half black and half white, each side distinct, creating a ghastly and forbidding appearance that was unbearable to look at directly.

"Pure Yang is the sun, Yin is the moon; their gathering and dispersal naturally form the stars…"

Suddenly reciting a maxim, Qi Xiu slowly opened his eyes. A terrifying absorptive force surged abruptly from his heart palace, as if a black hole had been stuffed into his chest. Under this irresistible power, the Hunyuan Gang Qi that had scattered into the acupoints throughout his body was reconverged all at once. The intact Mixed Primordial Bead coalesced once more!

"When [Primordial] disperses to form stars, deep abysses and empty valleys hide the True Spirit! The Divine Marvel of the Mixed Primordial Bead is finally complete."

Looking at the Mixed Primordial Bead in his heart palace, now regained, Qi Xiu willed it, and the bead once again dissolved into countless strands of Hunyuan Gang Qi, depositing them into the acupoints throughout his body.

Storing Hunyuan Gang Qi within the acupuncture points allows for immediate extraction upon activation. This is much faster and more rapid than previously having to draw it from the Mixed Primordial Bead.

Hmm? Is someone coming?

Just as he was comprehending the various profound mysteries after advancing the Hunyuan Dragon Tiger Scripture Mystery to the Second Realm, Qi Xiu suddenly sensed a deadly killing intent rolling in, like a towering tidal wave sweeping across a vast river.

CLANG—

With a wave of his hand, a formless Sword Qi shot out, clashing violently with a pitchfork glowing with dark green flames. The deafening impact shook the void, scattering sparks like fireworks.

Such strong demon Qi.

Rising indifferently, Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, a speck of purple flickering within his pupils. Drawing on the Purple Tiger's vitality, his eyesight instantly sharpened dramatically.

A hundred miles away, twelve terrifying yellow tides roared tumultuously. The murky water battered frantically against everything in its path. With reckless force, the rapid currents mercilessly tore apart rocks, trees, and the earth. What was once a quiet and beautiful forest became desolate and too tragic to behold. Lush trees were swept away by the raging waters, leaving the land scarred with deep indentations and vast fissures.

Atop these twelve murky yellow tides stood twelve grotesque and burly silhouettes, radiating arrogant, sky-high demon Qi. Each of these figures wielded a steel pitchfork, except for the one on the far left, who was empty-handed.

The pitchfork that just sneak-attacked me must have been thrown by him!

An overwhelming demon Qi surged forth! Qi Xiu stood erect, his robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes like blazing torches as he gazed at the tumultuous, murky yellow waves that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.

"You outrageously bold brute! How dare you slaughter a prince of the Dragon Palace! We, under the Dragon King's command, are here to capture you and take you back to the Dragon Palace for punishment! Where is His Highness's body? Hand it over and save yourself from suffering!"

Treading atop the waves, one of the Water-Patrolling Yakshas arrived above the ruined village. He glanced down at the dragon-patterned plate in his hand, confirmed that the scholar in white before him was indeed their target, and then shouted sternly with a sneer.

"You mean that dragon-affiliated demon?" Qi Xiu asked, his eyes showing a flash of understanding as he looked at these aquatic demons riding the waves.

That Long Tengzi was the adopted son of the Linshui Jiaolong Wang. It seems that pseudo-dragon already knows his godson is dead and has dispatched these aquatic demons to seek revenge.

"His remains? Too bad." Pointing to his own mouth, Qi Xiu said with a faint smile, "I've already eaten them."

"Eaten them?" The Water-Patrolling Yaksha's fish-like eyes, as large as fists, widened. Its voice rose in pitch, its eyes glinting with a sinister light. "Then we'll cut open your belly! Old Eight, Old Nine, Old Ten, Old Eleven, Old Twelve, go! Slice his belly open for me!"

"Right away!"

BOOM!

One Water-Patrolling Yaksha leaped off the tidal wave. The ground trembled, and mud splattered!

THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!

The continuous heavy thuds echoed like giant boulders striking the earth! Fully five Water-Patrolling Yakshas landed before Qi Xiu.

A menacing and eerie atmosphere descended. Thick demon Qi swirled with a cold mist, and the surroundings howled with wind. Although it was almost summer, the entire abandoned village now felt as if it had plunged into winter, a layer of white frost forming on the walls.

"How wonderful," Qi Xiu said, looking at the five Water-Patrolling Yakshas striding towards him. "I've just had a realization and was wondering where to test my skills. And you gentlemen are willing to offer your lives to indulge me. Truly magnanimous of you."

A dignified purple glint flashed fleetingly in his pupils.

Observing Qi Skill!

The next instant, in Qi Xiu's vision, vast clouds of black-red smoke suddenly rose behind the five Water-Patrolling Yakshas. These smoke clouds swirled and twisted, transforming into the forms of countless miserable living people they had devoured. Their bodies were broken, their expressions filled with despair and pain. And among them... those blood-soaked tiger head shoes.
