Chapter 1648 - Nothing Spared
To one side, Shen Yushu was startled by his methods, virtually forgetting about his fear.
As it turned out, before absolute power, not only was living impossible, but even dying was impossible too.
Li Qingshan sat on the wilted ground expressionlessly like an actual statue. Who knew what he was thinking as he stared at the unruly great sword cultivator that had now become so modest. He only continued with the Qilin Transformation, absorbing the spiritual qi and focusing on completely refining the Hundred Herbs garden. He refused to leave even a blade of gra.s.s for his enemies.
After gathering some more spiritual qi, he pressed gently against Wan Jianfeng’s forehead, channelling surging spiritual qi and comprehension of the path of the sword into Wan Jianfeng’s Yang Soul.
Wan Jianfeng shuddered and widened his eyes.
Immediately, the tribulation clouds began to surge and gather again, rolling with the sound of thunder and obscuring all the stars.
Li Qingshan gazed into the horizon. The might of the heavenly tribulation this time was far greater than Ruan Yaozhu’s. After all, Wan Jianfeng did not practise the Heavenly Tome of Nature but the Heavenly Tome of Sword Control, so he obviously would not receive any special treatment.

But at this moment, twisted, dark figures crawled out from s.p.a.ce. They were kleśa-māra and there were more than just three this time.
Originally, the benefits of practising the sword was a pure mind and a firm will. They could not easily be shaken by inner demons, so they would not draw over māra so easily. However, Wan Jianfeng’s current inner demons were even stronger than Ruan Yaozhu’s.
This was not due to faith. True faith came from the bottom of the heart, a display of internal emotions. It required thought and understanding. Wan Jianfeng’s faith had been forced onto him.
Li Qingshan’s actions were no different from a māra. As a matter of fact, he was even more forceful and unreasonable than any māra.
When regular māra disturbed cultivators, at least they still had to follow a proper procedure, like “sensations arising from form, perceptions arising from sensations…” Meanwhile, Li Qingshan just used the fervent worship from the countless living creatures of the Demon domain to bypa.s.s the entire process, directly overwhelming Wan Jianfeng’s sense of self, making him develop fervent worship towards him, which also…
