Chapter 312: The Ninth Celestial Talent? One Fist to Shatter It! (A Small Satisfaction)



Vibrant!

A sword song resonated.

Then, a dazzling sword light appeared from the treasureship, rushing out like a flood, illuminating the surroundings.

Boom!!

Under the fierce and overwhelming sword light, the giant hand emitting a vast Demon Aura exploded.

The sword light didn't stop, continuing its assault towards the depths below the sea surface.

Roar!

An angry beastly roar echoed.

The seawater surged violently, and then a figure burst out of the sea, landing on the flying treasureship of the Demon Race.

"Qinyang! Do you want to die?!"

It was a monkey-like Demon with only half of its body remaining, its eyes fixed viciously on the Human Race's treasureship, shouting angrily.

As his words fell—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the Demon Race's treasureship behind him, powerful auras of Celestial Immortal-level strength emerged one after another.

One, two, three... eight, nine, ten!

In total, ten Celestial Immortals of the Demon Race stepped out from their treasureship.

The overwhelming Energy Aura, like a towering wave, surged towards the Human Race's treasureship, overwhelming and suppressing the opposing side.

At this critical moment—

Immortal Lord Qinyang took a step forward, rising into the sky, and stood in the air above the Human Race's treasureship, unleashing his Celestial Immortal-level aura without reservation, blocking most of the sweeping Energy Aura.

"Nonsense! If you want to fight, then fight!"

Immortal Lord Qinyang's face was cold, exuding killing intent, a stark contrast to his gentle demeanor when facing Qin Zheng.

Following his words, Celestial Immortals from the Human Race's treasureship also stepped forward.

Their numbers were not few, with eight Celestial Immortals emerging, their powerful auras instantly suppressing the pressure from the Demon Race.

For a moment, the collision of auras caused the heavens and earth to stir, with lightning and thunder rumbling.

It seemed like a great battle was about to unfold.

"Hmph!"

The monkey-like Demon scoffed disdainfully, and the wounds inflicted by the sword light began to heal at a visible speed.

Then, the void trembled, and more flying treasureships emitting vast Demon Auras appeared one after another.

One, two, three...

The ripples in the void gradually subsided after the ninth ship appeared.

At this moment, including the original one, there were now ten Demon Race treasureships surrounding the Human Race's treasureship.

One by one, Celestial Immortals of the Demon Race stepped out, and under the pressure of their nearly tenfold numbers, the eight Celestial Immortals of the Human Race seemed extremely outnumbered.

"Qinyang, do you still dare to fight now?"

The monkey-like Demon scoffed and mocked the eight Celestial Immortals of the Human Race.

Immortal Lord Qinyang's face remained calm, and he didn't say a word. He merely tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand, and his aura surged to its peak.

The other Celestial Immortals did the same.

At this moment, the Human Race's treasureship fell silent, and everyone stared solemnly at the four sides, surrounded by the Demon Race.

On the deck.

Qin Zheng observed this scene with a calm gaze.

At this moment, he truly realized the vast difference in strength between the Human and Demon Races in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Just the Celestial Immortals of the Demon Race who had come to the Spirit Ruins numbered over a hundred!

And this wasn't even the most severe part!

The most severe was that the Demon Race had ten flying treasureships, while the Human Race had only one.

This meant that the number of Demon Race members entering the Spirit Ruins would be ten times that of the Human Race!

The implication of this was that the Demon Race's foundation and strength were ten times greater than that of the Human Race!

If this trend continued, the Demon Race would become stronger and stronger, while the Human Race would grow weaker and weaker!

Qin Zheng's expression turned slightly grave.

"Rest assured, we won't start a fight."

At this moment, a voice sounded in his ear.

Gu Xuanji, though also serious, explained to Qin Zheng, "One of the conditions for opening the Spirit Ruins is to maintain peace in this place."

"If a great battle erupts, the disturbance in Energy Aura might prevent the Spirit Ruins from opening."

"The Dragon Palace, Phoenix Nest, and Immortal Mountain will not allow it."

"Although they are also of the Demon Race, the Demon Emperor Palace wouldn't dare offend these three easily."

Qin Zheng nodded in understanding.

At the same time, as the two races faced off, at the far end of the horizon, a crimson fire light appeared.

It was like a sunset glow, dispelling all the gloom in the heavens and earth.

Then, a phoenix cry resounded through the heavens and earth.

A massive fire phoenix rushed towards them.

The turbulent sea surface suddenly calmed.

A dazzling light emerged from beneath the sea, and a white dragon instantly soared into the sky.

Moo!

Under the dragon's roar, divine might rumbled!

In an instant, the dragon's roar and phoenix's cry echoed back and forth across the heavens and earth.

The thick and powerful aura instantly broke the stalemate between the two races.

After a few breaths.

In the air above the treasureships of both races, a massive fire phoenix and a white dragon slowly descended.

"Regardless of your grudges, if you start a fight here and delay the opening of the Spirit Ruins, don't blame us for not being polite!"

A dragon and a phoenix, like heavenly deities, looked down upon the humans and demons below with a chilling tone.

Many humans on the human treasureship relaxed upon hearing these words.

With the intervention of these two races, no matter how sharp the conflict, a battle would not erupt.

The eight Celestial Immortals led by Immortal Lord Qinyang sheathed their swords and weapons and responded, "We have no intention of taking the initiative to fight. We ask that the two Divine Lords judge clearly!"

At the same time, nearly a hundred Celestial Immortals of the Demon Race surrounding the humans from all sides gathered their auras, and with a flash of golden light, a golden crow appeared.

"Seniors, it's the humans who are stirring up trouble. With the Spirit Ruins before us, we have no thoughts of fighting."

The golden crow spoke in a friendly tone.

Both the dragon and the phoenix were approached by the humans and the demons in a friendly manner.

This made the arrogance in the eyes of the dragon and the phoenix even more intense.

"Just stay quiet."

The fire phoenix glanced at the golden crow and nodded slightly, speaking softly.

"Don't do anything meaningless."

The white dragon also looked at the golden crow and added.

The golden crow immediately agreed and called out to the nearly a hundred Celestial Immortals of the Demon Race to return to the flying treasureship.

Thus, with the arrival of the dragon and the phoenix, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and the place became incredibly quiet, with only the sound of the sea breeze blowing.

On the human treasureship, everyone's tension eased.

Qin Zheng raised his head and looked at the dragon and phoenix perched above the human treasureship.

From start to finish, these two mythical beasts had not interacted with the humans led by Immortal Lord Qinyang.

Ever since they emerged from the boundless void, the humans had been in a passive, bullied, or despised state.

At this moment, under his watch, he could see that on the backs of the two mythical beasts, there were sparsely scattered figures, about a dozen in total, looking down at the humans below.

They were like heavenly immortals, arrogantly looking down upon the ants of the mortal world. Such a gaze made one feel disdain.

"The Dragon Palace, Phoenix Nest, and Immortal Mountain—these three forces' demon deities rarely take action."

Gu Xuanji's voice sounded again.

At this point, he paused and continued, "But on the Nine Heavens Yellow Chart, right below the Immortal Severing Sword, are the demon deities of these three forces."

"There's a rumor that one person from the Immortal Severing Sword can block the Seven Great Demon Deities of the Demon Emperor Palace, and the three demon deities from these three forces can also achieve the same!"

"Although there's some exaggeration, it also indirectly proves that the demon deities of these three forces are very powerful!"

"That's why the Golden Crow Demon Race, when facing this dragon and phoenix, also shows a friendly attitude."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded slightly.

Nine Heavens Yellow Chart.

One of the Spirit Ruins' treasures, it automatically lists and ranks the names of the ten strongest beings in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

He was clear about this.

At this moment, Zhao Qinggan, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "They are, after all, outsiders. Even if they remain neutral, they will naturally be closer to the Demon Race."

"We can't ignore the potential threat these three forces bring, nor can we place our hopes of overthrowing the Demon Race on them."

Hearing Zhao Qinggan's words, Gu Xuanji nodded in agreement, and his gaze towards him showed even more appreciation.

Among the humans, even the Celestial Immortals, some still hoped to strengthen the human race by drawing these three forces closer.

But for those with clear cognition, such thoughts were laughable.

Qin Zheng remained silent, only gazing at the dragon and phoenix above and the surrounding demons.

At this moment, the eight Celestial Immortals led by Immortal Lord Qinyang returned to the treasureship and calmed the crowd.

After things quieted down, they waited for the opening of the Spirit Ruins.

Time passed slowly.

Half a day later, the sea calmed.

In the distance, mist began to appear on the sea surface, thickening at a visible rate.

"It's here!"

Gu Xuanji's expression turned solemn.

Qin Zheng looked over and saw that within the thick mist, a building gradually emerged.

The Spirit Ruins had opened! Seeing this, the dragon and phoenix roared, and streams of light shot out from their backs, instantly rushing into the mist.

The demons followed closely behind.

Inside the ten flying treasureships, streams of light appeared, swiftly entering the mist.

The human treasureship waited at the back.

After a moment, almost all the demons had entered the mist.

"Let's go!"

A human Earth Immortal couldn't hold back and transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards the Spirit Ruins in the mist.

The rest of the crowd followed closely behind.

Just as the first human Earth Immortal was about to approach the mist,

Boom!

A bear palm suddenly pierced through the mist, sweeping across and smashing an Earth Immortal into a bloody mist!

This Demon Race creature had pretended to enter the Spirit Ruins, hiding at the edge of the mist to ambush the Human Race members preparing to enter. Seeing this, the remaining Human Race members halted, their gazes filled with caution as they looked towards the bear demon at the mist's edge.)



An Earth Immortal was killed so easily!

This bear demon must be ranked highly on the Demon Race's Celestial Talent Rankings!

"How dare you!"

Immortal Lord Qinyang and the others' expressions changed.

Their auras erupted, ready to take action.

But at that moment, the Celestial Immortals from the Demon Race's ten flying treasureships emerged again, unleashing their auras to intimidate the Human Race.

Under the pressure of their powerful auras, Immortal Lord Qinyang and the others' presence was suppressed.

"After the Spirit Ruins open, if the younger generation fights, we guardians cannot intervene. Otherwise, it will be considered a declaration of war, and you humans should know this!"

The Golden Crow Demon Lord looked at Immortal Lord Qinyang and coldly laughed as he spoke.

Above, a qilin and a phoenix watched with interest, having no intention of interfering or stopping the confrontation.

After all, with the Spirit Ruins already opened, even if the Human and Demon Races engaged in a great battle, it wouldn't affect them.

At the edge of the mist, the bear demon sneered, his gaze provocatively staring at the crowd outside the mist.

Then, his eyes turned towards the Human Race's treasureship, focusing on Gu Xuanji, who stood on the deck.

The bear demon grinned maliciously, and in full view of everyone, he reached out and pulled out a corpse that resembled a ragged bag of remains.

Swish!

The corpse tore through the void.

Gu Xuanji stepped forward, his aura swirling as he steadied the corpse in his grasp.

But at this moment, his expression turned grim, his aura surging like a volcano about to erupt.

At the mist's edge, the bear demon spoke again, "I've heard that this guy is also one of your Human Race's talents, with a big name but little skill."

"He couldn't even withstand my hundred punches and was killed."

"I'm curious to know if you, Gu Xuanji, are the same, with only an empty reputation!"

The bear demon's grating voice echoed in all directions.

Immortal Lord Qinyang and the other eight Celestial Immortals' faces darkened, but they didn't take action.

On the Human Race's treasureship, everyone glared furiously, their eyes fixed on the bear demon at the mist's edge.

Gu Xuanji, with his head lowered, looked at the broken corpse in his arms, which had been beaten beyond recognition, his aura growing stronger.

Qin Zheng's gaze also turned to the corpse in Gu Xuanji's arms.

"Xun Qianyu, one of the Human Race's talents, an Earth Immortal who has been stationed at the frontier for years, is Gu Xuanji's close friend."

Beside him, Zhao Qinggan spoke slowly.

Then, Qin Zheng's gaze shifted to the bear demon standing arrogantly at the mist's edge.

"He's ranked ninth on the Demon Race's Celestial Talent Rankings."

Zhao Qinggan spoke again.

Qin Zheng nodded slightly.

At this moment, Gu Xuanji placed the broken corpse in his arms down and was about to stand up.

But just then, a hand gently rested on his shoulder, stopping his movement.

"I'll handle this."

A calm voice resonated.

The voice wasn't loud, but it echoed through the heavens and earth, reaching the ears of every Human and Demon Race member.

In that instant, all eyes turned towards the figure in the golden-patterned dark robe.

A Human Immortal?!

As they saw the figure, whether it was the Human Race, the Demon Race, or even the qilin and phoenix above, all were taken aback, their faces filled with astonishment.

A Human Immortal challenging the Demon Race's ninth-ranked talent, a designated Lesser Demon Deity?!

Is he sleepwalking or has he gone mad?

Instantly, laughter erupted from the Demon Race's ten flying treasureships.

At that moment, Qin Zheng stepped forward, approaching the mist.

The bear demon, watching Qin Zheng's approach, burst into laughter, tears of mirth streaming down his face.

"Bravery is commendable! Bravery is commendable! If you can withstand my punch, I'll spare your life and let you enter!"

"Otherwise..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Zheng had already taken a step forward.

His slender fingers twisted into a fist seal, with Supreme True Intent and Heavenly Opening Intent entwining around it.

Then, a punch descended.

Boom!

A deafening blast echoed.

The bear demon's smug expression remained on his face.

But from his neck down, his body had already exploded into a bloody mist.

"Noisy."

A white jade-like hand reached out, holding the lifeless bear head.

The calm voice reverberated once more.
