Chapter 637: Chapter 508: Passing the Torch (Part 2)
Boom! Crack!
The massive Vajra Fist Shadow instantly slammed onto the Golden Light Jade, reverberating with an earth-shattering impact.
This was a full-strength strike by Qin Ming, infused with Demon-Monster True Power. Under the punch, several cracks appeared on the Golden Light Jade, but it didn’t completely shatter.
Qin Ming narrowed his eyes, the Demon Wheel behind him glowing brightly, once more channeling Demon-Monster True Power to strike at the light jade before him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After repeatedly pounding dozens of punches, the golden light jade outside the stele shattered, revealing the golden essence blood inside it.
A look of joy flashed across Qin Ming’s face. He immediately took out an exquisite jade bottle and sealed the Tier Five Demon Venerable Essence Blood with a Spirit Talisman.
"I didn’t expect this journey to bring such a surprising delight!"
He suppressed the excitement in his heart.
If he absorbed the essence from this Essence Blood, it would elevate his Body Refining Cultivation to a formidable level.
However, with his current mid-stage Demon Infant Body Refining realm, it was obviously impossible to refine this Essence Blood.
At the very least, he needed to break through to Late-stage Nascent Soul Body Refining before he could dare to devour and refine this Tier Five Essence Blood.
"Friend Qin, you absolutely must not act recklessly and rush into devouring such Tier Five Demon Venerable Essence Blood, it’s no trivial matter!"
"It might lead to your immediate death and Dao dissolution..."
"If you want to refine Demon Blood, you need to find some auxiliary items, otherwise even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator’s body couldn’t withstand such Tier Five Demon Venerable Essence Blood."
Qingyang the Old Demon quickly spoke up, after all, his life was in Qin Ming’s hands, tied to the same fate.
Shared glory in prosperity, shared ruin in adversity.
He was quite fond of his own life and very worried that Qin Ming, after acquiring such a great treasure, might succumb to youthful recklessness and temptation.
Even with his formidable physical body, forcibly refining this Tier Five Essence Blood could very likely lead to an explosion and death...
Qin Ming nodded, "Qin naturally won’t undertake such risky endeavors, Old Ghost, rest assured."
"By the way, what you just mentioned, do you have the means to refine this Demon Blood?"
"Ahem! Naturally, this old man has such means, but I hope Friend Qin bears no grudge for the earlier advice to cultivate the Demon Infant..." Qingyang the Old Demon coughed lightly, speaking with affected profundity, "Now that Friend Qin not only recovered the Demon Infant but has also greatly progressed in Body Refining cultivation! Truly commendable!"
"Hehehe!"
Just then.
Before Qin Ming could inquire further, at the moment the Ape Ancestor’s Demon Blood was collected, the central stele in the square lit up again with golden radiance, enveloping Qin Ming.
In the next moment, Qin Ming felt a brief dizziness and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
...
Near Thunder Accumulation Mountain, inside the Demon Dao camp.
Profound Yin Ancestor of the Great Li Demon Dao and Elder Wangu were holding a victory banquet, rewarding their disciples.
Outside, the Demon Dao cultivators were indulging in music, dancing, and a feast.
Inside the tent, only the two old demons were conversing.
"Fellow Daoist Wangu, under the Upper Sect’s leadership, we’ve achieved continuous victories, truly redeeming past shames. Even Demon Saint Gushan was executed under the hands of Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch, avenging a great debt for your Divine Dao Mountain."
"You must have relieved some pent-up anger, here, consider this drink my toast to you." The withered Profound Yin Old Demon raised his wine cup to Elder Wangu.
Elder Wangu, with a hooked nose, had a cold smile at the edge of his lips, "This isn’t over yet, there’s still those two wretched women from the Silver Moon Celestial Fox Race and the Peacock Race, I must settle the score with them to ease my grudge!"
Profound Yin Old Demon said, "Now that the situation at Beast Roar Mountain Range is stabilized, and Six Desires Demon Monarch guards Thunder Accumulation Mountain, the Demon Race is no threat. The geographical position of Thunder Accumulation Mountain is extremely unique, cutting off the link between the Demon Race and the Human Race, making their alliance impossible."
"Once we conquer Great Jin and Great Zhou, all of the Three Kingdoms of the Central Continent will fall into our hands, completing a grand unification. With such a strategic location, we’ll march south, and I don’t believe we can’t seize the small Southern Wilderness..."
Elder Wangu listened to the analysis, feeling his blood surge with ambition.
However, his gloomy face showed some hesitation: "Won’t directly attacking the Southern Wilderness after taking Great Jin and Great Zhou and defeating the Guardian Dao Alliance be too hasty?"
"Perhaps we should start with West Nether? After all, the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm has True Monarch Wangyue, who even Celestial Hatred is extremely wary of."
Profound Yin Old Demon replied dismissively, "Hmph! What’s there to fear? I don’t believe he has three heads and six arms; with so many of us attacking at once, should we not be able to take him down?"
"Fellow Daoist Wangu, is your Dao Heart suffering from a demonic obstruction, scared by this person?"
"Elder Profound Yin, you’re mistaken, how could I possibly fear him? If he appears before me, I will surely confront his Divine Techniques, to see if he is as formidable as rumored!"
"Enough of him, it’s such a nuisance!"
"Come! Cheers!"
Saying this, he also raised his wine cup and drained it at once.
Rumble!
However, before he could lower his cup, the entire Thunder Accumulation Mountain began to tremor violently, as if about to collapse.
The expressions of the two old demons drastically changed as they exchanged a glance.
"What’s happening outside?"
Yet, before they could step out, a brilliant light flashed outside the tent, revealing the figure of a plain-looking young cultivator.
"Who seeks a duel with Qin?"
A calm voice resonated, immediately plunging the air into a strange atmosphere...
Qin Ming hadn’t expected that after collecting the Ape Ancestor Essence Blood, he would be directly teleported outside, catching him off guard.
Moreover, it seemed he overheard someone badmouthing him!
"Enemy attack!!"
The Demon Dao base camp, moments ago in chaotic revelry, now displayed expressions of shock at the sudden event in the sky.
Immediately, these low-tier Demon Dao disciples found that the newcomer had no mana aura, as if he were a mortal.
This sent them into a frenzy.
"It’s a Nascent Soul Cultivator! Quickly signal the Ancestor!"
The figures of Profound Yin Old Demon and Elder Wangu shot out from the tent. Seeing the visitor, they couldn’t help but exclaim, "True Monarch Wangyue!"
They couldn’t comprehend how, in the time it took to drink a cup of wine, True Monarch Wangyue from the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm had silently arrived right under their noses.
Elder Wangu’s face twitched; he’d just boasted in front of Profound Yin Old Demon, and now, with True Monarch Wangyue standing before him...
He even suspected if Profound Yin Old Demon was intentionally setting him up.
As the two were lost in thought,
A surge of inexplicable disturbance came from the void, causing both to feel intense apprehension!
Swish!
"You two old fools, prepare to die!!"
"Today, I’ll execute heaven’s will and eliminate you scumbags! Avenge the Mountain Giant Ape Race and Brother Gushan!"
The Heaven-Devouring Rat, wielding the Immortal Slaying Halberd, suddenly appeared from the void. Immense demonic power surged around him, a sweep of black profound light exploded the surrounding mountains and forests, slashing fiercely toward the two old demons!
The Demon Dao disciples below were still stunned by the formidable aura of the Tier Four Demon Saint, the Heaven-Devouring Rat.
Then in their sight, a three-tailed silver Demon Fox emerged in the sky, towering at a hundred feet tall.
The Silver Fox whined upwards, forming a round moon from its mouth, menacing demonic power gathering, then spewed it toward the crowd.
Rumble!
The earth shook, countless Demon Dao disciples swallowed and engulfed mercilessly by white light.
Qin Ming’s eyes subtly shifted, gazing towards the Celestial Vault not far away.
Two figures with formidable auras of Demon Monarchs slowly emerged opposite him.
One was shrouded in eerie mist, the other a scholar with a hatted cap.
They were the Six Desires Demon Monarch of Ghostly Palace and Yanf Shu Demon Monarch of Blood Refining Demon Sect whom he had seen when possessing Demon Monarch Qishang.
When the two realized that the approaching figure was indeed the notorious True Monarch Wangyue of the Demon Dao,
They couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spines; why was this Evil Star suddenly appearing here?
Without a word, Qin Ming directly deployed the Nascent Soul Realm, enveloping an area of more than ten miles around.
...
