Chapter 364: Glimpse of the Divine Treasury's Radiance! Rumors of the Demon Ruins! (4k4)



Muscles, tendons, and cells!

At this moment, they all burst forth with extreme radiance, undergoing a fierce transformation!

Infinite power, like a volcanic eruption, continuously surges from every inch of Qin Zheng's body.

Power surges!

Unceasingly rising!

Since he stepped into the martial path and obtained the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique, Qin Zheng, relying on the overwhelming strength brought by this martial art, was able to sweep through his peers and fight across realms.

It can be said that strength was the foundation of his initial rise.

But after stepping into the Immortal Realm, the vast gap in cultivation and combat power could no longer be bridged by strength alone.

Even later, after obtaining some Immortal Arts to increase strength, it was still insufficient to elevate his power to a critical level for combat.

Thus, Qin Zheng gradually shifted his focus to other methods, and his attacks were no longer as forceful as before.

However, at this moment, as the power within his body rapidly surged, a sudden thought crossed his mind.

That is, after completely refining the Dragon Elephant Bloodline, even without relying on the Slaying Gods Sword Intent, he could defeat a Primordial Demon in the Taiyi Void Realm using strength alone!

The reason for the previous belief that power couldn't bridge the gap between cultivation and combat power was simply because his strength wasn't formidable enough!

Once power reaches a certain level, even the widest chasm can be crossed!

Gradually, as the Dragon Elephant Bloodline, Qin Zheng became immersed in his own transformation.

And just as the bloodline was completely refined, his power reached a certain limit.

Whoosh!

Qin Zheng felt his consciousness enter the depths of his body, and before him stood an object radiating a surging radiance.

Beneath the surging radiance, it seemed like the outline of a massive portal.

But it was too hazy and blurred for him to discern.

In that instant, a sudden realization dawned on Qin Zheng.

This was the Divine Treasury of Strength!

Or perhaps, beyond that portal lay the Divine Treasury of Strength!

If he could open the door before his eyes, he would unlock his own Divine Treasury of Strength!

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and a surge of joy welled up within Qin Zheng. Without hesitation, he was about to push open the door.

But just as this thought crossed his mind.

Vibrant!

A buzzing sound rang in his ears.

The surroundings trembled, and the Divine Treasury's door, visible to the naked eye, vanished before his eyes.

And then.

Whoosh!

As if pulled back to reality, Qin Zheng's consciousness instantly returned to the outside world, and he abruptly opened his eyes.

Crack!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the instant he opened his eyes, lightning flashed in the void, and thunder roared through the heavens.

But Qin Zheng's mind was still immersed in the vision he had just witnessed.

Divine Treasury of Strength

After refining the Dragon Elephant Bloodline, his power surged, far surpassing his previous strength by several dozen times!

But Qin Zheng was aware that beyond that Divine Treasury's door lay even greater and more formidable power!

If he could open it, his power would undergo a revolutionary transformation!

By then, even without advancing to the Great Dharmaraja Realm, he would be able to confront formidable foes in the third realm of Taiyi!

These thoughts surfaced one by one in Qin Zheng's mind.

Qin Zheng suppressed his thoughts about the Divine Treasury of Strength, burying them deep within his heart.

Then, he raised his right hand, clenching it slightly, feeling the surging power within him, far exceeding his previous strength by several dozen times.

Even the usually calm Qin Zheng couldn't help but curve his lips upward, a hint of joy appearing in his heart.

A Dragon Elephant Demon Core and a strand of Innate Merit.

This refinement's gains were indeed substantial!

But from this point on, to further enhance his strength and attempt to unlock the Divine Treasury of Strength, he would need some opportunities.

After all, Qin Zheng didn't know what kind of Great Demon he would slay next or what kind of Demon Core he would obtain.

At this moment, he hoped that these Demon Clans would be like the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, each with their own distinct territories.

That way, he could selectively target and slay the corresponding Demon Clans to obtain their Demon Cores.

However, Qin Zheng was aware that this hope was somewhat unrealistic.

At least, it was unrealistic in the current Spirit Ruins Realm.

So, he suppressed his thoughts, stood up, and took a step forward, instantly disappearing from his original spot.

At the same time.

Demon Emperor's Palace.

Ripples appeared in the void, and Qin Zheng's figure stepped out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Immediately, several auras burst out from the Demon Emperor's Palace.

Upon encountering them, Qin Zheng spoke without hesitation, "Do you know of any more Void Spirit Realms?"

The previous Spirit Demon Stone Meng, with a fragment of its soul, could reside within a Heart Demon's body and descend upon the Human Realm Territory in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Surely, these individuals before him must have sensed a Void Spirit Realm, just like the Naga Spirit Crystal had done.

In the Void Spirit Realm, Qin Zheng was unsure why these individuals hadn't personally entered to release the Primordial Demon.

But Qin Zheng wouldn't give them another chance.

In response to his interrogation, the Demon Deities' faces were filled with frustration and anger.

"What do you mean by the Void Spirit Realm?!"

"We've followed your instructions and haven't left the Demon Emperor's Palace beyond a thousand li. What more can we do?!"

One of the Demon Deities spoke angrily.

Qin Zheng remained calm, and with a single flick of his finger, the air was compressed to its limit in an instant.

Then, like a swift arrow of light, he pierced through the Demon's head.

Bang! In that moment, blood mist filled the air.

The Demon's limbs twitched, and it tried to recover.

But Qin Zheng reached into the Void, instantly extracting its Demon Core from its body.

[Item Found: Spirit Deer Demon Core, can be refined, requires a strand of Innate Merit, refine?]



[Note: Refining will obtain the Mystic Object: Flame Deer Blood]



[Note: Consuming it will temporarily enhance your combat power!]



It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.

Qin Zheng's consciousness returned from his inner sea.

The Demon's body completely lost its vitality and fell towards the ground below.

The remaining five Demon Deities, now at their wit's end, glared at Qin Zheng, their eyes burning with rage.

However, faced with such a power disparity, they dared not take action, only standing in their original spots with pent-up frustration.

"Tell me what you know about the Void Spirit Realm."

Qin Zheng's expression remained calm as he spoke again, looking at the Demon Deities.

At that moment, the crimson longsword embedded in the Demon Emperor's Palace hummed softly.

A force of carnage filled the air.

It seemed that if the remaining five Demon Deities uttered another useless word, they would be mercilessly slain.

Under such intimidation, the Demon Deities remained silent for a moment before speaking again: "We didn't actively explore the Void Spirit Realm."

"The one who descended upon us contacted us, but we didn't trust him, so we didn't go personally."

"So, you're asking what we know about the Void Spirit Realm."

After a brief pause, they continued after several breaths of silence: "We only know of another place, and we can't determine if any of our Demon Race are trapped within."

Qin Zheng calmly spoke again: "Tell me."

The Demon Deities exchanged glances, and one of them released a strand of light, approaching Qin Zheng with reluctance.

"This is the aura of that Void Spirit Realm. With your abilities, you can naturally find it."

Qin Zheng grabbed the strand of aura before him and then scanned the remaining Demon Deities. He took a step and left.

After his departure, the faces of the Demon Deities also revealed complex emotions.

Their gazes turned towards the ground where the Demon, whose head had been blasted open and its Demon Core extracted, now manifested its true form as a Deer Demon.

There was both brutal rage and helpless sorrow.

And in the next moment, under their watchful eyes, the Deer Demon's body began to wither, as if its blood and flesh essence had been drained.

In just an instant, it completely turned into a piece of skin.

At that moment, a youth in a blue robe with a handsome face appeared in their line of sight.

There was some blood on the corner of his mouth, and his face was slightly flushed, as if he had just consumed a nourishing tonic.

Upon seeing this youth, fear flashed in the eyes of the Demon Deities.

"Well done."

The youth approached them, his hands behind his back, and spoke slowly as he looked in the direction Qin Zheng had just left.

"Senior Shi, can this really trap and kill the Human Race?"

One of the Demon Deities respectfully asked the youth, seeking clarification.

The other Demon Deities also looked in his direction.

Hearing this, the youth smiled lightly and said, "This Human Race has some talent, but at his current realm, he can't stir up much trouble. No need to pay him any mind."

"The Void Spirit Realm I led him to contains three Primordial Demons of our Demon Race.

"Moreover, I've already broken their seals. As long as this Human Race goes there, he'll immediately face the encirclement and annihilation of three Primordial Demons!"

Speaking with absolute certainty, the youth's words eased the hearts of the five Demon Deities.

As long as Qin Zheng died, even if they fell from their lofty positions and were summoned by this youth, they could bear it.

But after hesitating for a few breaths, one of the Demons still asked, "Senior Shi, with your abilities, why not directly deal with Qin Zheng?"

They all knew that this seemingly ordinary youth was, in fact, a Primordial Demon.

The youth's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied, "These Humans, as long as they don't reach the Great Dharmic Realm, can't cause much trouble. No need to bother with them."

"The task at hand is to swiftly locate the position of the Demon Ruins within the boundless void!"

"To unseal the Demon Ruins and unleash the millions of years old Demon Race army, hidden from the heavens!"

"This is what we must do!"

As he spoke the last two sentences, the young man's eyes shone with a radiant light, as if he had witnessed the scene of countless demons clouding the Qionglae Grand Realm millions of years ago.

What is this Void Spirit Realm?

What is this Seal of the Primordial Demon?

These are but insignificant things! Only the Demon Ruins matter!

Within lies not only the million-strong Demon army of old but also a Demon Race even more powerful than the Taiyi Virtual Rank!

Unsealing the Demon Ruins will once again unleash the Demon Race's iron torrent of war upon this realm! That is what they must do!

In the eyes of the five Demon Deities, the young man's expression turned fervent.

However, they had only heard of the Void Spirit Realm and not of any Demon Ruins.

So, they immediately asked again, "Senior Shi, what exactly are these Demon Ruins?"

Hearing this, the young man's fervor subsided as he looked at the five Demon Deities and said, "Enter the depths of the void and find the most massive and boundless spatial storm you've ever seen."

"Then give me the location of this spatial storm, and that will be enough."

"Ask no further questions, understood?"

His voice grew colder, and by the end, it carried a hint of killing intent.

The hearts of the Demon Deities trembled, and they quickly nodded, "Understood!"

After speaking, they were about to step into the void.

But the next moment, they hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

The young man frowned and spoke.

The Demon Deities' gazes turned to the red longsword embedded in the Demon Emperor's Palace.

"Hmph!"

The young man scoffed and reached out his hand toward the red longsword.

The longsword instantly emitted an extremely powerful sword cry.

However, the sword cry posed no threat to the young man's hand, and in the next instant, it was grasped within his palm.

His fingers closed, and with a crush, the sword shattered!

The young man turned and looked at the five Demon Deities, mocking them, "This is what you fear."

Buzz!

The void rippled.

A jade-like hand appeared, piercing through the void and landing atop the young man's head.

His fingers twisted into a fist, and strands of world-opening Dao essence emanated.

In the next instant, a thunderous crash!

Rumble!

Before the young man could finish speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and crashed into the earth below.

In the blink of an eye, a ten-thousand-foot deep abyss appeared before their eyes.

A figure in a robe adorned with golden patterns stepped out of the void, calmly overlooking the abyss below, and spoke indifferently, "I too am curious, what are these Demon Ruins?"

Ever since the young man stepped into the Spirit Ruins Realm, Qin Zheng had felt his presence.

However, as Qin Zheng had been focusing on his cultivation and the figure had not acted against the Human Race, he temporarily refrained from taking action.

Arriving at the Demon Realm Territory, it seemed as though he was asking the Demon Deities for the address of the Void Spirit Realm.

In truth, he was secretly observing their cultivation level and the purpose of their visit to the Spirit Ruins Realm.

But the figure concealed himself too well. After approaching the area, Qin Zheng couldn't even sense his presence and chose to leave temporarily.

However, because of this, he also overheard some heart-shaking news.

On the other side, upon seeing Qin Zheng's figure, the Demon Deities' pupils constricted, and they were about to beg for mercy.

But in the next instant—

A blade light suddenly appeared, slaying the remaining five Demon Deities.

In that instant, the five Demon Deities left in the Demon Emperor's Palace perished!

Without hesitation, Qin Zheng took a step and instantly arrived beneath the ten-thousand-foot deep abyss.

At this moment, seeing Qin Zheng appear, the young man showed no hesitation and tried to escape.

But a large hand grabbed his head before he could conceal himself.

Following that, an overwhelming force, like a raging river, instantly submerged him.

After a dizzying spin, his head slammed into the earth.

Simultaneously, a great saber pierced his heart under this immense force, nailing his body to the ground.

He had no chance to resist.

In just one move, he had already lost!

The young man's heart was filled with disbelief.

Such formidable power, such decisive action—could a Celestial Immortal possess such might?

In the next moment, the figure entered his field of vision again, and he asked, "Tell me, what are these Demon Ruins?"
