Chapter 636: Chapter 508: Passing the Torch
Inside the Demon Ruins.
Qin Ming released his Divine Thought to observe the space around him and found no unusual dangers.
After checking the inscriptions, he also learned that this place has been sealed for a long time, serving as the resting place for the ancestors of the Mountain Giant Ape Race.
He strolled to the corpse of the old man with white eyebrows, and just from the terrifying aura emanating from the body alone, he could make a judgment.
The person before him was the Mountain Giant Ape from the Ancient Era, mentioned by Yue Lingyan, a being capable of shaking the heavens and earth.
"Tsk tsk tsk! This ape in life must have at least been at the peak of the early stage of Tier Five cultivation, what a pity... I don’t know why it lingered in the Human Realm. If it had ascended to the Spirit Realm, it would have had a place among the great clans."
"However, it would have also become a great enemy of the Human Race in the Spirit Realm... perhaps dying was a relief..."
"Based on my experience, this ancient Demon Venerable must have forcibly used powerful Divine Techniques in the Human Realm and was struck down by the Interface Rebound Power, leading to a massive reduction in its lifespan and its eventual demise."
"Otherwise, with its strength, it probably could have crossed the void fissure and potentially ascended to the Spirit Realm."
"And this Celestial Demon Qi... Friend Qin’s fortune is truly enviable..."
Within the Blood Massacre, the banished Qingyang the Old Demon couldn’t help but speak.
"Tier Five Early-stage Demon Venerable?"
"Even such beings cannot escape the fate of falling into the cycle of life and death..."
Upon hearing these words, Qin Ming couldn’t help but sigh.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to him.
’When I first practiced the "Celestial Demon Refining Form Strategy" and its Hundred Beasts Visualization Images, I inexplicably chose the white ape...’
’Shortly after, when I cultivated this Demon Race Scripture to an advanced level, there appeared a thousand-zhang Mountain Giant Ape in the Hundred Beasts Visualization Images, whose punch shattered a Human Race Immortal City...’
’There seems to be heavenly will within the unknown, could it be... that what I have always visualized and cultivated is the Ape Ancestor before me?’
The more Qin Ming thought about it, the more likely it seemed, as he pondered.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat at his side stared at the corpse, intimidated by the terrifying pressure emanating from it.
It could clearly feel a tremor from the depths of its soul.
This was the innate suppression from the bloodline of a Demon Race ancient king!
It was so shocked that it couldn’t speak, "My goodness, the... Celestial Demon Qi, Tier Five Demon Venerable!"
The Heaven-Devouring Rat shivered with fright, quickly hiding behind Qin Ming, occasionally poking its small head out to observe curiously.
Qin Ming sensed a kind of call from his blood, as if it had a fatal attraction to him.
This is because, during his practice of the Demon Race Scripture earlier, he had also devoured and refined the essence blood of a Mountain Giant Ape.
Without hesitating much, he cast a Spell and easily captured that ’Celestial Demon Qi’ into his hand.
Through the entire process, no unexpected incidents occurred.
Suddenly.
A dense and overpowering Demon Qi, surpassing any Great Demon, emanated from the gray flame in his hand, directly targeting his Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul on the Purple Mansion Spirit Platform was fine, but the Demon Infant on the Central Palace Black Lotus was instead incredibly excited.
It seemed like it had seen something it extremely craved.
After all, the Demon Infant was condensed from Body Refining Cultivation, and the Celestial Demon Qi will ultimately be refined by it.
Celestial Demon Qi and True Demon Qi alike, both have the potential to corrupt a realm, causing the decay of Spiritual Qi and the birth of demon nature.
Qin Ming cast a Spell, using Mana to envelop the Celestial Demon Qi, then sealed it within the Primordial Demon Pearl.
After finishing all this.
Just when he thought his goal for this journey was achieved and was about to find a way to leave this place.
Suddenly, a violent fluctuation erupted from the corpse of the old man with white eyebrows.
Then, countless beams of Golden Light surged from within it, converging into a mass of golden liquid, exuding the aura of a Great Demon from the ancient wilderness, making the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s legs go weak, clutching Qin Ming’s shirt tightly.
"This... this is truly terrifying."
Qin Ming gazed at the golden blood, deeply shocked, feeling an overwhelming power of Qi Blood emanating from the Golden Light.
"Tier Five Demon Venerable Essence Blood! Haha!"
"Friend Qin, you’ve made a great fortune this time!"
Qingyang the Old Demon exclaimed with excitement, laughing wildly.
Qin Ming’s heartbeat accelerated, distinctly feeling a call engraved in his bones.
Just as he was about to acquire this golden essence blood, he suddenly saw the stone tablet bursting with Spiritual Light, countless runes flashing.
A golden light curtain emerged from the top of the stele, forming a golden light curtain covering the corpse.
Subsequently.
A series of demon scripts appeared on the stele; after browsing through, Qin Ming realized that acquiring the demon blood inheritance obviously required recognition of one’s strength.
The Mountain Giant Ape Race has passed down this inheritance for tens of thousands of years, yet no clan member has ever broken through this light curtain to obtain the Tier Five essence blood inheritance.
"I didn’t expect the Ape Ancestor set up a test as well..."
"And it seems quite difficult."
After reading the Demon Race text, Qin Ming understood its profound meaning; without a sufficiently strong body as support, it is impossible to refine this Tier Five Demon Venerable Essence Blood.
Forcibly devouring it is not only worthless but harmful instead.
This is also a means by the Ape Ancestor to protect his descendants.
Subsequently, Qin Ming threw the Heaven-Devouring Rat into the Little Spirit Realm.
In the next moment.
Qin Ming’s Demon Infant exhibited a Body Refining Divine Technique, his body intertwined with Demon-Monster Qi, instantly transforming into the Heaven-Supporting Vajra Demon Form.
Following this.
The Vajra Demon Form, into which Qin Ming transformed, closed its five fingers into a fist, and with the explosive surge of Demon-Monster True Power, the demon patterns on his body flashed, revealing a jet-black Demon Wheel behind him.
