Chapter 272: Fight if You Must, No More Nonsense! (4000 Words)



Rumble!

A thunderous roar echoed from within the Chihuo Sect.

This sudden change startled the cultivators gathered around the Chihuo Sect, who were preparing to witness the ceremony.

"Could it be that the Chihuo Sect's leader, after years of inactivity, has become rusty and caused the Divine Weapon to explode during refinement?" One cultivator's eyebrows twitched as this thought crossed their mind.

However, this thought was quickly dismissed just as it appeared.

Weapon refinement explosions are mistakes made by inexperienced newcomers, not something the Chihuo Sect's leader, renowned across the Three Mountains and Five Regions, would ever do.

If it wasn't a refinement explosion, what could have caused such a tremendous commotion? Surely, it couldn't be a battle within the Chihuo Sect?

But even if it were a battle, the noise seemed too brief.

After all, the Chihuo Sect had several Dharmakaya practitioners.

Wuuuu~

Just then, a mournful wail suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth.

This voice instantly froze the cultivators from all directions in their tracks.

"Did a Dharmakaya just fall?!" In that instant, they all stared at the Chihuo Sect with disbelief.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three powerful auras suddenly rose from within the Chihuo Sect, sweeping across the four directions.

Three more Dharmakaya ranks!

The surrounding cultivators' faces paled, and they shouted, "Dharmakaya battle! Run!"

A single move from a Dharmakaya could destroy an entire area.

They were so close to the Chihuo Sect that they feared being caught in the crossfire and perishing.

Streams of light quickly flew away from the Chihuo Sect.

At that moment, in the Chihuo Sect's refinement area...

Qin Zheng unearthed the Prime Gold from beneath the ground.

Its size was almost as large as two watermelons, causing a slight curve to form at the corners of his mouth.

With this much Prime Gold, the number of Golden Essence Sabers he could refine would be substantial! This also meant that the power of the Heavenspan Golden Sword Formation would increase once more.

With a thought, he stored this piece of Prime Gold in his storage bag.

Qin Zheng stood up and looked at the furnace he had knocked away.

From within the furnace, a crimson liquid flowed out like lava, and a nine-foot-long spear emerged.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he reached into the furnace.

Bang!

The spear burst out of the furnace and landed in Qin Zheng's hand.

The fiery red-hot spear radiated a heart-pounding aura.

This was no ordinary weapon.

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes.

Hum!

At the same time, the Virtue Scroll in his Heart Sea trembled.

A line of text swiftly appeared on it.

【Discover Item: Dragon Fang Inferno Spear, can be refined, requires one pound of virtue, refine?】

【Note: Supreme Divine Weapon, immense potential. Infuse with Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning powers, may become an Immortal Artifact!】

Qin Zheng's eyebrows arched slightly as he read the information on the Virtue Scroll.

An Immortal Artifact with Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning powers would indeed be a formidable weapon.

He knew some spear techniques, so it would be a perfect fit.

"Refine!" he silently commanded.

Hum!

A mysterious power descended, causing the spear to tremble. Its fiery glow faded, revealing a black-gold spear shaft.

Qin Zheng felt a sense of familiarity with the spear, as if he had wielded it for years.

"Bold human, how dare you intrude upon the Chihuo Sect!"

Suddenly, a furious shout pierced the celestial dome.

A silver-white spear abruptly tore through the void, instantly appearing behind Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng's expression remained unchanged. He swung the Inferno Spear in a circle and then swept it downward, knocking the silver-white spear aside.

Bang!

A crisp sound of clashing weapons reverberated from the powerful collision.

Moo!

The Inferno Spear seemed to roar with a dragon's cry.

The attacking silver-white spear couldn't withstand the force and shattered into pieces, scattering back.

The Demon Clan's Dharmakaya, who held the silver-white spear, paled, quickly retreating.

But in that moment, the Inferno Spear, like a dragon, burst through the fragments of the spear, reaching the Demon's body a step ahead.

Without time to react, the spear pierced his heart.

Pfft!

The spear completely impaled him!

"You... you're from the Eastern Sea Paradise?" The Chihuo Sect's Demon Clan Dharmakaya stared at Qin Zheng in disbelief, his face filled with incredulity.

"Stop!"

At the same time, two Dharmakaya auras descended, appearing before and behind Qin Zheng.

"Human, how dare you..."

Bang!

Qin Zheng shook the spear, and a mighty force surged out, causing the impaled Demon to explode into a cloud of blood.

The glowing Demon Core fell into Qin Zheng's hand, and without hesitation, he took a step forward, charging towards the other Demon Clan's Dharmakaya.

With a mere wave of Qin Zheng's hand, the Dragon Fang Inferno Spear, freshly forged, spun like a true dragon, emanating a trembling aura.

The Demon Clan's Dharmakaya, facing this formidable spear, instantly turned grave.

They had arrived just moments ago, and before their eyes, the Human Clan had already slain the Dharmakaya that had come earlier.

This was a testament to the overwhelming power of the Human Clan!

Instead of engaging in direct combat, he chose to retreat, quickly speaking, "The Crimson Flame Sect is deeply favored by the Golden Sun Sage Monarch!"

"If you annihilate our sect, you will face the wrath of the Golden Sun Sage Monarch!"

His words had no effect.

Qin Zheng continued to wield the Inferno Spear, attacking him.

Simultaneously, a Demon Clan Dharmakaya behind Qin Zheng rushed out, attempting to sneak attack from behind.

Vibrating, at that moment, thirty-six Golden Essence Sabers burst forth, encircling him.

"Golden Essence Saber Formation!"

Sensing the sharp intent from these sabers, his expression changed drastically.

The saber formation suddenly activated!

Boom!

The overwhelming sharp sword aura instantly engulfed him.

Pfft!

Qin Zheng's Inferno Spear pierced the Dharmakaya's heart.

Bang!

The spear trembled, and blood mist filled the air.

As the saber formation's sword aura dissipated, thirty-six Golden Essence Sabers hovered in mid-air.

At this moment, in the Crimson Flame Sect's forging area, not a single Demon Clan Dharmakaya remained.

Qin Zheng reached out, collecting two Demon Cores into his bag.

Without hesitation, he began refining the Golden Essence Sabers.

Simultaneously...

Woooo~

In a short span, six Demon Clan Dharmakayas perished.

The lamentations in the heavens and earth were incessant, echoing through the realms.

This situation further terrified the fleeing cultivators.

At this moment, they were no longer content with merely escaping the Crimson Flame Sect's vicinity.

One by one, they rushed deeper into Taixu Mountain.

They aimed to flee Nanguang Fudi!

Just then, the passage within Taixu Mountain trembled, and several incredibly powerful auras burst forth.

Subsequently...

A bald, silver-robed figure with an indifferent expression emerged from the passage.

Upon seeing this figure, the nearby cultivators froze.

Immediately, a cultivator who recognized him exclaimed, "Greetings, White Tiger Elder!"

Haaah!!

A stir ruckus erupted among the crowd.

Voices rose in unison, "We pay our respects to the White Tiger Elder!"

The figure who had just exited the passage was none other than the White Tiger Elder!

"The Human Clan's aura is within the Crimson Flame Sect!"

At this moment, two Demon Clan overseers stepped out of the passage, their eyes fixed on the direction of the Crimson Flame Sect.

Lamentations continued to echo through the realms.

Without a doubt, the Demon Clan Dharmakayas of the Crimson Flame Sect had been massacred by the extraordinary Human Clan.

The White Tiger Elder remained silent, his eyes colder than ever.

"Let's go."

He spoke calmly, then took a step forward and vanished.

The other two Demon Clan overseers nodded in agreement and rushed towards the Crimson Flame Sect.

With this figure's intervention, they no longer feared the extraordinary Human Clan!

The crowd of cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment.

The changes within the Crimson Flame Sect had attracted a senior and two overseers!

Moreover, one of the overseers had mentioned the 'Human Clan'.

This implied that the changes and the fall of the Crimson Flame Sect's Dharmakaya were caused by a Human Clan member.

In an instant, a thought flashed through the minds of the cultivators.

The Human Clan Dharmakaya, which had wreaked havoc in the Eastern Sea Paradise and annihilated the Celestial Dragon Hall, had now arrived at Nanguang Fudi!

A sense of fear surged within them.

But in the next instant, this fear dissipated.

A senior and two overseers.

With such a force appearing in Nanguang Fudi, even if the Human Clan was powerful, escape this time would be impossible!

One by one, the cultivators glanced at each other, turned, and looked towards the Crimson Flame Sect.

They wanted to see how the Human Clan would be dealt with.

Under Qin Zheng's control, Golden Essence Sabers were forged one after another.

One... two... three...

At this moment, Qin Zheng had become adept at refining Golden Essence Sabers.

Other thoughts emerged in his mind.

Logically, such continuous lamentations in the realms should have already alerted the Dharmakayas of other factions.

But at this moment, not a single Dharmakaya from other forces appeared.

Could it be that the Crimson Flame Sect had a grudge with several other factions? Qin Zheng wondered.

Just as the twelfth Golden Essence Saber was being refined, a commotion deep within Taixu Mountain caught his attention.

As the passage shook, several auras burst forth, including two familiar ones belonging to the two fleeing Demon Clan Overseers.

There was also an unfamiliar aura, but it was filled with a heart-palpitating oppressive force!

Above the Overseers, a Demon Clan Elder! Qin Zheng immediately realized, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He halted the sword refinement, stored away the remaining Prime Gold, and then reached out to grasp the great spear, causing forty-eight Golden Essence Sabers to surround him.

In the next instant, after just a few breaths...

Three auras broke through the void and arrived before him.

A bald, robust man with a commanding presence stepped out of the void, glared at Qin Zheng, and spoke in a cold voice, "So, it was you who obtained the treasure of the Human Race from the Upper Realm?"

As his words landed, a thunderous roar reverberated through the heavens and earth.

An overwhelming aura surged like an ocean, sweeping across the four directions!

Qin Zheng's eyes slightly narrowed, and he remained silent.

It seemed that the person behind the ancient mirror had been correct; the Demon Clan had indeed sensed the existence of the ancient mirror.

The two Overseers appeared on either side of the bald man.

But it didn't end there.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Dharmakaya-level auras began to appear in the heavens and earth, rapidly approaching the Crimson Flame Sect.

One, two, three... Within a few breaths, six Demon Clan Dharmakayas appeared within the Crimson Flame Sect's territory, surrounding Qin Zheng.

For a moment, Qin Zheng was enveloped by nine powerful auras.

A surging tide of murderous intent filled the void, locking onto his body.

"Bold human! The White Tiger Elder asks a question, and you dare not answer?" a Demon Clan Dharmakaya roared.

A cold light flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes, and he swung the great spear in his hand, then suddenly threw it.

Swish! The Dragon Fang Inferno Spear, at this moment, resembled a true dragon, roaring as it charged towards the shouting Demon Clan Dharmakaya.

"Hmph!"

The surrounding Demon Clan Dharmakayas coldly snorted, ready to take action.

Buzz! At this moment, the forty-eight Golden Essence Sabers hummed in unison, releasing a mighty sword aura.

The Golden Blade Array instantly took form! The terrifying killing intent permeated the void, instantly intimidating the Demon Clan Dharmakayas, who dared not move.

And the Inferno Spear, in that instant, arrived before the shouting Demon Clan Dharmakaya.

With an unstoppable momentum, it pierced through!

For a Dharmakaya without a notable background, reaching the Third Stage was already an impressive feat.

But Qin Zheng, as a Ninth Stage Dharmakaya, piercing through a Dharmakaya below the Third Stage with a single spear, was as easy as pie!

Bang! After a burst of explosive sound, blood mist filled the air.

The Inferno Spear transformed into a stream of light and returned to Qin Zheng's hand.

This series of actions was executed with fluid grace, taking only an instant.

Another Dharmakaya fell!

"Ninth Stage Dharmakaya."

At this moment, the bald man in a silver robe finally turned his gaze to Qin Zheng and spoke.

It seemed that the reason he hadn't taken action earlier was to gauge Qin Zheng's strength and realm.

"I'm curious," he continued, "how you managed to reach such a realm in secret, under the suppression of my Demon Clan."

He raised his head to look at the forty-eight Golden Essence Sabers radiating a mighty sword intent, and asked, "And how did you obtain this long-lost Golden Blade Array, renowned for its killing power?"

As he finished speaking, a hint of excitement flashed in his indifferent eyes.

"Immortal Dao Artifact!"

"It must be an Immortal Dao Artifact bestowed by the Human Race from the Upper Realm that allowed you to possess such strength!"

"Hand over the artifact, or else..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Zheng, holding the Inferno Spear, took a step forward and instantly appeared before the bald man.

"If you want to fight, then fight! Stop the chatter!" Qin Zheng's cold voice echoed through the void.

Swish! As he swung his arm, the great spear transformed into a stream of light, slashing towards the bald man.

At the same time, a crisp sword cry reverberated through the heavens and earth.

The mighty sword aura swept across the four directions, instantly locking onto all the Demon Clan Dharmakayas present!

The Golden Blade Array activated! Boom!

In an instant, the sword array formed by forty-eight Golden Essence Sabers engulfed all the Demon Clan Dharmakayas except for the bald man.

A great battle erupted!
