Chapter 167: Chapter 165: Slaying Demon Fiends, Seizing Lifespan
With this move, Su Qing refused to believe that fellow could withstand it without melting.
After thirty seconds had passed, Su Qing finally withdrew the sky-covering fireball.
This was the first time Su Qing had used the God Demon Summoning Day magic. It was terrifying, truly possessing the power of Erosion of Mountains and Burning Sea.
The Nascent Soul was gone.
But one thing told Su Qing the Nascent Soul was dead.
The Pocket World remained.
The refined Pocket World hovered in the air.
Su Qing channeled his Magical Power and took it.
He had killed two Nascent Souls and obtained two Pocket Worlds.
Everything else, however, seemed to have been destroyed, leaving only some molten metal from the Magical Treasures.
’This Nascent Soul Master was truly a tough opponent.’
’How did he have so much stuff?’
Su Qing collected the molten metal.
Fortunately, the battle had taken place high in the sky, and the fireball hadn’t lasted for too long.
So Qianjie City hadn’t caught fire.
His junior sister was still down there.
Luo Lanxin was still reeling in shock.
"The Six Extremes Master... dealt with just like that?" Luo Lanxin muttered to herself.
She never thought the Six Extremes Master would be defeated by her senior brother.
To think that the Six Extremes Master, with his Tier Five Magical Treasure, the Celestial-Reaching Zither, had once traded several blows with a Divinity Transformation expert.
But here, he had actually been killed by her senior brother.
The appearance of his Pocket World meant he was truly dead.
’My senior brother is terrifying.’
The Six Extremes Master had lived for more than six thousand years.
The Array Plates he carried were said to be enough to encircle all of Qianjie City. He was renowned for his Arrays and had later reached the pinnacle of the Dao of Sound. His foundations were incredibly profound.
In her past life, the Six Extremes Master had collaborated with the Demon Court because his lifespan was nearing its end.
He had unleashed the Demon Race.
She never imagined that in this life, her seemingly unremarkable senior brother would actually kill the Six Extremes Master.
Even in her previous life, by the time Luo Lanxin’s Cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Realm, the Six Extremes Master had already died of old age.
"Junior Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Su Qing cut down a demon beside Luo Lanxin with a single slash of his sword.
He shouted, "Losing focus on the battlefield? What’s wrong with you? Snap out of it and kill these demons!"
Now that the demonic rift was dealt with, no more demons should be coming through.
So Su Qing set about killing all the remaining demons.
"Oh, Senior Brother, I’ll guard this Array." Luo Lanxin wasn’t thinking about going outside Qianjie City to kill demons.
Instead, she focused on killing all the demons within the city.
And protecting the Array.
Su Qing nodded. "In that case, I’ll kill the nearby Third and Fourth Realm demons. You can clean up the rest, Junior Sister."
On this day, the Pocket World of their Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect was finally breached.
Demonic Qi billowed throughout the territory of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect. As the Demonic Qi spread, the common people could no longer live in peace.
The mortals didn’t wail or cry.
There was only silence and bated breath—the only way to survive.
Su Qing fought until the world went dark, catching glimpses of his master and his aunt several times.
He also saw many Golden Core Elders, but he didn’t spot a single True Disciple at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
There were almost none to be seen.
On this battlefield, only those at the Golden Core Realm could hold their own!
Su Qing generally couldn’t use his God Demon Summoning Day, as it was indiscriminate.
The Five Thunders Technique consumed too much energy and lacked the precision of a single sword strike from him, so he had no need to use it.
As the day wore on, the sky grew pitch-black. Terrifying shockwaves rippled through the air from time to time, lingering for long moments.
On the ground, every patch of soil was soaked with the blood of the Demon Race, the Human Race, and the Fiend Race.
Another Third Realm demon died under Su Qing’s sword. His Devouring Divine Technique manifested, absorbing all of the demon’s essence, energy, and spirit.
’That’s about enough killing.’
Su Qing had grown numb. He had killed no fewer than a hundred Third Realm opponents and over a dozen at the Fourth Realm.
They were a mix of the Demon Race and the Fiend Race.
Within the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect’s territory, Su Qing had done his best and killed most of them.
Suddenly, something happened in the sky.
The world suddenly grew clear.
The Demonic Qi was instantly swept away.
Ji Qianqiu suddenly appeared on a mountain peak of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect.
"Elders, the Demon has been slain, and the Fiend Race has retreated."
"I will now purge the remnants."
Ji Qianqiu’s voice echoed throughout the entire territory of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect.
Then, endless black clouds appeared in the sky.
Lightning began to rage.
Each bolt of lightning struck down numerous demons.
...
After half a day, the vast majority of the Demon Race and the Fiend Race had been annihilated.
Only a few demons and fiends, hidden in the shadows, barely managed to survive, evading the glorious might of the lightning.
Su Qing sheathed his Blade of Wholeness, which was now shrouded in a faint Blood Evil Qi.
He burned it away with his Great Sun True Flame.
He had no need for such Blood Evil Qi.
"Elders, please clean up the aftermath."
After saying this, Ji Qianqiu vanished from the sky.
’Divinity Transformation experts are truly on another level.’
Even if Su Qing had enough Magical Power for the Five Thunders Technique, he could never lock onto such a vast area and attack the demons and fiends so indiscriminately.
"You really hide your strength well, my disciple!"
Su Qing had already returned to Ouyang Mingming and You Yanhan’s group.
Luo Lanxin had also returned.
Of the four of them, Su Qing was perhaps the cleanest.
"It’s all thanks to Master’s good teaching."
"Killing a Fourth Realm expert just like that..." Ouyang Mingming gave Su Qing a strange look.
She looked at her junior sister, her face full of disbelief. "What kind of demon did I pick up?"
You Yanhan said with a serious expression, "In truth, Su Qing’s strength is already on par with the chosen prodigies of the other races."
"That’s why he can kill enemies of a higher realm so easily."
"Haha, Master, Aunt, you don’t need to look so deeply into my strength," Su Qing said with an awkward laugh.
Being praised so directly, Su Qing was at a loss for words.
"Senior Brother truly hides his strength well. It’s terrifying," Luo Lanxin chimed in, nodding. She was covered in bloodstains from both demons and fiends.
"Su Qing, what reward would you like when we get back to the Sect? I’ll request it for you," Ouyang Mingming said generously.
You Yanhan also nodded. "That’s right, I can request it for you as well."
"Many of the Elders we passed said you helped them. With this, Nephew, you’ve built quite the network within the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect."
"I wasn’t overthinking it. I just wanted to kill as many as I could," Su Qing said honestly.
After this battle, Su Qing felt that from absorbing the essence, energy, and spirit of so many Golden Core and Nascent Soul experts, he could probably live for another five thousand years without issue.
...

「Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect」
Ji Qianqiu nodded to the Grand Elder and Elder Han.
Then he smiled and looked at the Divinity Transformation Elder from the Celestial Puppet Sect beside him.
"Thank you for your sect’s assistance. I hadn’t expected you to arrive so quickly."
"Hahaha, I’m merely here to repay a debt," Jiang Changtian laughed. He looked his age, apparently having never taken a Beauty Pill.
"Repay a debt? Surely you jest, Master Jiang. When have you ever owed our Sect a favor? The Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect will remember this kindness."
"Ah, not so fast," Jiang Changtian said. "At the last Immortal Alliance gathering, my granddaughter was protected by one of your sect’s disciples. So when I heard the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect was in trouble, I came to help."
"Oh? Is that so?" Ji Qianqiu recalled that during the formation of the Immortal Alliance, Su Qing, from his own Sect, had apparently protected many disciples.
He just never imagined that this included the granddaughter of a Divinity Transformation expert.
Ji Qianqiu smiled. "Master Jiang, you jest. Those are two separate matters. Our Sect is now in your debt."
"What happened last time was merely a casual act by one of our disciples."
Ji Qianqiu then produced a piece of Ten Thousand Years Profound Iron Spirit. "I hear the Celestial Puppet Sect is famous for its Puppets. Please, Master Jiang, accept this Ten Thousand Years Profound Iron Spirit as a small token of my gratitude."
"Hahaha! Very well." Jiang Changtian accepted it without any ceremony.
Ten Thousand Years Profound Iron Spirit—a rare Tier Five Heavenly and Earthly Treasure.
