Shen Qifeng's pale face showed that even though he was able to escape his death after getting hit by Yang Qing's Solitary Rest of the Grand Moon, he still sustained some injuries.

He stared hard at Yang Qing , seeing how Yang Qing's face appeared to be cramped up at the chaos that was running through his mind.

Shen Qifeng went on to speak, “Have you activated the fear within him?”

“He seems to be trying his best to suppress his fear.”

Sikong You remarked plainly, “Everyone aspires to become fearless. But little do they know how fear actually makes us stronger. How it actually improves us.”

He went on to add, “Fear is both our biggest source of troubles, but yet it is also our biggest motivation. It is truly the strongest source of energy in our world.”

“Cultivators put in their best in the art of cultivation to resist the natural event of death. Isn't that the power of fear?”

“The process of the formation of the aurous core, the nascent soul and then the immortal soul, as well as the development of magic treasures, stronger mana and abhijnas, are all fuelled by fear.”

“The power of fear is truly remarkable.”

Shen Qifeng replied lightly, “I am truly impressed by King Wuguan's theories. However, I still a.s.sert that we should settle him as soon as possible.”

Sikong You remarked, “That's right.Even though his cultivation level would have made him the best envoy ever under my curse, I must stay focused on what's important. To adhere to his Majesty's order would be to kill him. That would then remove future complications out of the equation.”

As he spoke, Sikong You tapped his finger before the Ferocious Ghost Temple sped towards Yang Qing. The fearsome ghost above the temple extended its hands as it attempted to clasp Yang Qing within its palms.

The fearsome ghost released a sharp howl as it enhanced the effects of the curse, resulting in an increase in the intensity of the glow in Yang Qing's eyes.

In the meantime, the humongous temple sped towards Yang QIng for an impending collision!

Shen Qifeng activated the Brahmā Magic Pearl to compound his powers before releasing a power streak of golden light towards Yang Qing.

The powerful howl of the ghost above the temple suppressed Yang Qing's soul, intensifying the fear within Yang Qing's heart.

Within Yang Qing's sea of consciousness, countless figures surrounded him as their mumblings compounded into an indecipherable mess.

“Stop mourning.”

“There is no hope.”

“It's useless.”

“Just give up.”

These voices messed up Yang QIng's mind even further as he felt as though he was drowning in his own fear. He felt like he was being suffocated by an invisible hand which was gripping onto his heart.

Yang Qing appeared to be oblivious towards Sikong You's and Shen Qifeng's attack as he was completely immersed in the nightmarish world.

Then out of a sudden, Yang Qing's eyes started to react to his environment. His stare started to become a lot more peaceful as the chaos and fear receded to reveal the serenity in his head.

The edges of his mouth started to reveal a slight smile which sent s.h.i.+vers down Sikong You's and Shen Qifeng's spines.

Sikong You now sported a worried look as he detected the disappearance of the curse within Yang Qing's soul.

His curse did not contain any mana and was merely a form of consciousness. Hence, it was supposed to be extremely difficult for the victim to remove the curse using mana or any spell. Conversely, Sikong You would also be equally helpless if the victim were to somehow remove the curse using his or her own mental strength.

An enlightened Yang Qing lifted his head as he matched his eyes onto the incoming Sikong You and Shen Qifeng before speaking slowly, “Fear is indeed capable of giivng us motivation. But it does not necessitate the destroyal of hope. No matter how bleak the future looks, it won't affect my desire to put in my best anytime anywhere.”

“If I were to give up and stagnate because of fear, there would be no talk about the motivational ability of fear.”

As he spoke, Yang Qing and his cosmic form was suddenly engulfed in the powerful Grand Sun Primordial Flame, plating his body in pure gold as though there was an infinite amount of golden needles on the surface of his body.

It was as though he had become a human torch that was formed from the Grand Sun Primordial Flame.

And in the very next instant, the golden figures of both Yang Qing and his cosmic form turned white in color as though they had become white human torches.

The white human torch had vicious-looking black smoke revolving around it. The black smoke seemed to possess a peculiar black radiance about it.

Four Appearances Yin-Yang Changing Spell, Change of the Cataclysmic Grand Yang, Yang in Yang, Realm of Cataclysmic Yang!

During the Realm of Terminated Yin, Yang Qing was dead silent as he did not show any sign of emotions.

But now that he was in the realm of Cataclysmic Yang, Yang Qing was dominant and extremely violent. It was as though he was exploding with energy. He shouted, “Old creep and stupid fool! Both of you are nothing!”

As he shouted, nine streaks of black light emerged next to Yang Qing. They were constantly morphing between the silhouettes of nine dragons and the sunrays of nine different suns. Their power shook the entire void as though a cataclysm was imminent.

The violent Nine Complete Yang Destructive Spell shook the entire battle environment and initiated an unforeseeable amount of chaos.

The nine dragon silhouettes rose into the air before transforming into nine powerful suns!

The flicker between the white flames and the black smog created a powerful explosion which blew Shen Qifeng's golden streak of light into nothing.

The explosion happened to wipe out Sikong You's fearsome ghost's hands. Cracks and fractures could be seen all over the ghost's body.

The humongous hall of the temple also suffered cracks as the temple flew backwards under the force from the explosion.

Sikong You's face turned extremely pale as his body trembled under the shock from the attack. Black smog rose from his body as he suffered injuries from the connection between his temple and his body.

As for the finger which Shen Qifeng used to activate the Grand Brahma Finger, it began to break apart from the fingertip till his very shoulder. As much as he tried to stop the cracking, he could only watch the crack creep to his shoulders as his immortal soul and magic treasure sustained incredible damages.

Both Shen Qifeng and Sikong You stared at Yang Qing fearfully as they were both shocked by Yang Qing's powers.

Yang Qing resumed his original look but it was clear that the attack had also taken a toll on him and his cosmic form.

Both parties had employed spells which consumed a lot of energy from the casters. They were extremely destructive, but they were also extremely demanding on their casters.

However, the Yang QIng right now was very much at ease as a smile hung on his face. He seemed to be freer and much more at ease than before.

“Junior, forgive me for being impulsive, but I would need your a.s.sistance, ” Yang Qing said as he suddenly sat down in the void. A glow glimmered above his head as a young figure, which looked exactly like Yang Qing back when he was fourteen or so, emerged. It was none other than his nascent soul.

At this very instant, Li Yuanfang had just attained the Immortal Soul stage and erected the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation. He was encircling the Cakravarti King and King Pingdeng into the formation.

Hearing Yang Qing's words, Li Yuanfang looked over and immediately understood what Yang Qing was planning to do. “Senior, you are not in a good shape. Your mana acc.u.mulation is still quite a distance away from attaining the peak of the advanced nascent soul stage.”

Yang Qing smiled, “Don't worry. I'm ready.”

Prior to this, Yang Qing had spent much time providing medical help to the commoners. It was only after the war that Yang Qing returned to Mount Yujing to cultivate before attaining the Advanced Nascent Soul stage.

Even though he had subsequently spent much time in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World, the continuous absorption and cultivation did not bring him very close to the peak of the advanced nascent soul stage.

Following which, the experience with the Dream Holy Woman Ning Wan'ge in the Illusory Dream Fantasy World had refined his mental strength. Following the awakening from the dream world, he had continued in his examination of techniques and had understood much wisdoms of cultivation before being summoned by Lin Feng to partic.i.p.ate in the war.

The Yang Qing now might not possess sufficient mana but with the level of comprehension which he possessed, he was sort of within distance to achieve something greater.

After suffering from the curse casted by Sikong You, he had once again outperformed himself and improved tremendously.

Hence, Yang Qing retrieved a tiny ceramic bottle before breathing in the cloud which was within the bottle.

Li Yuanfang's Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation continued to expand to the point at which it began to encroach into where Yang Qing and the rest were. It enveloped Yang Qing into the formation and began its protection of Yang Qing.

Sikong You and Shen Qifeng frowned after seeing it. They did not want Li Yuanfang's case of advancement to happen again.

Even though Li Yuanfang's formation was extremely powerful, Sikong You and Shen Qifeng mustered all the strength which they had as they put in their best attempt to stop what Yang Qing was about to commence.

Yang Qing sat calmly within the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation as he opened his palms to reveal a few jade stones. He crushed the jade stones with his palm and released the voluminous amount of energy within the stones.

These stones were treasure which he had acquired with much fortune back when he was travelling. They contained boundless amounts of spiritual energy. The few pieces of jade stones contained enough spiritual energy to match a single Cloud Forest Tree.

Prior to this, Yang Qing did not have sufficient comprehension nor mana. But now that his comprehension was sufficient, he was only lacking in the acc.u.mulation of mana.

After countless tribulations and the consumption of the elixir, the gate that led to the attainment of the Immortal Soul stage began to become clearer before Yang Qing.

At this very instant, these jade stones and the elixir made by the Celestial Sect of Wonders began to show their effects as Yang Qing's wounded soul and cosmic form began to recover rapidly as the voluminous amounts of spiritual energy strengthened his nascent soul tremendously.

Just when his nascent soul was pushed to its limits, Yang Qing released a loud and clear howl as his nascent soul transformed into a powerful streak of light and combined with his humongous cosmic form. Together, they sped towards the gate that led to the attainment of the Immortal Soul stage!
