The Mysterious Underground Demonic Qi_2 Chapter 688: 294: Golden Core Intermediate Stage Four Years Later!
The Mysterious Underground Demonic Qi_2 There weren’t any splash marks of blood around the deep pit, indicating that Bu Tianshun’s attack didn’t immediately pierce through the demon cultivator’s body, or at least, the impact wasn’t strong, which resulted in the blood pooling at the bottom of the pit rather than splattering everywhere.
At this moment, a thick demonic Qi was continuously rising from the blood, making it seem as if the blood had been bathed in a layer of purple light.
It seemed strange, bewitching, and irresistibly attractive, making one want to touch it and absorb the power within.
Chen Dengming, despite his remarkable state of mind, was not affected, but Ran Yiqiang, beside him, couldn’t help but stare at it a few times, and gradually, he couldn’t take his eyes off it.
At this time, Chen Dengming had already summoned his heavenly immortal incarnation from another area to enter the pit.

As soon as the incarnation touched the rising demonic Qi within the pit, Chen Dengming acutely sensed something unusual.
It seemed as if a demon-possessed power was infiltrating the spirit of the incarnation, but it failed to shake the soul imprint composed of Dao Force.
Chen Dengming found it strange, so he controlled the incarnation to land at the bottom of the pit and looked at the slowly wriggling, crimson to purple blood, exuding a bizarre spiritual light.
“Hmm, could this be the legendary Demon Blood?
I…
I just…
can’t help but want to pick it up…” Ran Yiqiang muttered in a somewhat disordered breath.
Chen Dengming, surprised, looked at Ran Yiqiang and saw an eager expression in his eyes as he fixated on the bottom of the pit, whereupon Dengming promptly said,
“Elder Brother Ran, you’ve been affected by the demonic Qi.
You should step back a bit…”
“Um…
okay, okay!”
Ran Yiqiang’s voice was raspy, his eyes shifting.
The moment his gaze met Chen Dengming’s sharp and unwavering stare, he felt as if he had been pierced by two sharp swords, and the greedy thoughts that had emerged from his heart were instantly shattered.
He then began slowly retreating.
Chen Dengming frowned as he watched Ran Yiqiang retreat several tens of feet before turning his gaze back to the blood at the bottom of the pit, and then, controlling the incarnation to touch the blood.
A blue Dao Force halo appeared on the incarnation’s palm as it reached out to touch the blood that was glowing with spiritual light at the bottom of the pit.
Swoosh–
An eerie scene unfolded.
As the malevolent demonic Qi surged, the crimson to purple blood quickly extended like a living creature.
The moment it touched the blue Dao Force on the incarnation’s palm, the blood retracted as if frightened, but then it bypassed the Dao Force with greater speed and flew towards the wrist of the incarnation.
Chen Dengming calmly observed and did not stop it.
However, the moment the blood touched the arm of the incarnation that was not covered with Dao Force, the arm instantly turned purple-black and emitted demonic Qi.
Simultaneously, a highly bizzare and monstrous power invaded the spirit of the incarnation.
Chen Dengming soon felt the soul imprint of his incarnation being shaken, even the Dao Force was being rapidly depleted.
Purple-black rapidly spread throughout the incarnation’s body.
Strewn all over were demonic Qi that resembled a dense web of black threads.
“Roar!
——”
Suddenly the incarnation turned its head, fiendish and twisted.
Its face had turned entirely purple-black and it roared at Chen Dengming before it burst into a wild frenzy of spiritual light, ready to attack.
At the same time, Chen Dengming intentionally caused the soul imprint of the incarnation to self-destruct.
Boom!–
A gush of the polluted wood-element spiritual energy dissolved instantaneously.
The incarnation suddenly collapsed and disappeared into the pit.
A few drops of Demon Blood, emitting a demonic Qi, fell from the air, and like a living creature, quickly slithered and extended towards the blood inside the pit.
“After the demonic Qi invades one’s spirit, the Demon Blood controls the person’s body and an evil consciousness in the Demon Blood influences the person’s spirit.”
Chen Dengming’s eyes were filled with cautious wariness as he looked intently at the pit of blood, wondering if they were truly the legendary Demon Blood.
This ability to infiltrate a person’s spirit and control their body was indeed a demonic act.
The Nightmare Demon Lord of the past had also demonstrated this ability.
But it didn’t seem to be as domineering as this pool of Demon Blood, as it had affected Ran Yiqiang’s spirit just now.
Just as Chen Dengming was about to ponder further, his Heavenly Heart State vaguely sensed a feeling of being stared at by a chilling gaze.
Even the environment seemed to become darker and more indistinct, and Chen Dengming couldn’t tell if it was a delusion or a change in the weather.
Ka–
Suddenly, across the sky flashed a lightning bolt, like a brilliant silver snake, making the already dark island environment seem more eerie and chilling.
After the lightning, the night became even darker.
The clouds were pressing down low, like a huge, heavy aluminum plate, ready to collapse at any moment.
The air was humid and stuffy, making it difficult to breathe.
Chen Dengming looked up at the sky and felt a sense of foreboding.
This feeling was his first in the past four years.
Lowering his head, his eyes suddenly glowed with a blue Dao Force.
From his thriving Golden Core at the mid-stage, a gold light that resembled a golden furnace burst forth, and strands of golden Dan Power spread throughout his body.
At that moment, he vaguely sensed something moving deep underground, fast as a phantom, and it managed to evade the detection of his Heavenly Vision.
But when he tried to funnel his Heavenly Vision to lock onto the movement, it was blocked by the circulating demonic Qi in the air.
Suddenly, Chen Dengming, as if sensing something, saw a flash of purple light behind him and his body instantly transformed into a lingering shadow and disappeared from its original place.
“Boom!–”
The earth beneath abruptly erupted, creating a deep pit, as a bone spike that was faster than his afterimage broke through the air.
On the other side, mid-air, Ran Yiqiang had just sensed something amiss and ascended into the air when a blurry black shadow sprang out of the ground at a high speed and flew past him.
“Clang!
——”
The protective Magic Treasure that hung around Ran Yiqiang’s body was shattered in an instant, the shield violently fluctuated.
The blurry shadow suddenly turned around, and it looked like an enormous black-haired rat lunged at the shield, opened its mouth, and spewed out a puff of dark demonic Qi that enveloped the shield.
