Chapter 365: Storm Clouds Gather! Ascend to Taiyi! (4k4)



Gazing at the figure before him, Shi Feng's expression turned frosty, even as he was pinned to the ground by a single strike, he showed no fear.

He gave a cold laugh and said, "It's truly pathetic to exist in such a broken realm, knowing nothing at all."

Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, unaffected by the situation. Instead, he diverted a strand of his consciousness to the Virtue Scroll within his Heart Sea.

【Shi Feng, Demon Race slave, Taiyi Virtual Rank, kill him to obtain seven strands of Innate Merit.】

No wonder he couldn't sense much demonic energy from this person.

The sudden appearance of this human race slave in the Spirit Ruins Realm, even daring to harbor thoughts of reviving the Demon Realm, was truly surprising.

Various thoughts raced through Qin Zheng's mind.

Qin Zheng quickly gathered his thoughts and refocused on the Demon Race slave pinned to the ground by his own strike.

"You are of the Human Race, and yet you possess the Taiyi Grade. Why do you kneel before the Demon Race?"

He spoke calmly, his voice steady without a hint of emotion or anger.

Shi Feng was slightly startled, thinking Qin Zheng would further question him about the Demon Ruins.

But in that moment, he composed himself and chuckled, "Human Race? Taiyi?"

"Do you think that if I hadn't submitted to the Demon Race, I could have advanced to the Taiyi Grade?"

"You truly are an ignorant and despicable creature. Even if you kill me, others like me will soon come to take my place!"

Before he could finish, Qin Zheng strode forward and lifted his foot.

Boom!

In an instant, Shi Feng's head was crushed beneath Qin Zheng's foot.

Qin Zheng didn't know what this person had gone through, but he understood that his servitude had been deeply ingrained into his soul.

For such a Human Race individual, Qin Zheng had no intention of further communication.

Obtaining the Innate Merit was the top priority.

Moreover, although this person hadn't explicitly told him anything, his very presence conveyed a crucial piece of information.

Beyond the Spirit Ruins Realm, there were other Demon Races ruling over the Human Race, and they were about to extend their reach into the Spirit Ruins Realm!

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a swift motion, he took the storage bag from the other's body. He then unleashed a strand of sword qi, instantly erasing the corpse.

After completing this task, Qin Zheng didn't linger. With a single step, he entered the Void.

In the next instant, he arrived at Immortal Mountain.

At the lakeside courtyard, beside the stone table.

Mo Xun's face was slightly pale, as if something had startled him.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the Void before him.

A figure clad in a golden-patterned dark robe emerged—Qin Zheng.

Mo Xun quickly regained his composure and stood up, saying, "Friend Qin, what brings you here this time?"

Qin Zheng spoke straightforwardly, "With your Phoenix Clan's innate talent, if you give it your all, can you locate all the Void Spirit Realms in the Void that seal the Great Demons?"

Upon hearing his words, Mo Xun was momentarily taken aback, but after a few moments of contemplation, he replied, "The Void is vast. We can try, but we might not find them all."

Qin Zheng immediately said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, friend. Please help me find these Void Spirit Realms and inform me of their locations."

Not only were the Great Demons within the Void Spirit Realms stirring, but there was also the Demon Race influence from beyond the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Additionally, there was a sealed place known as the Demon Ruins.

These sudden developments gave Qin Zheng a sense of impending storm, instilling a sense of urgency within him.

He had to become stronger, faster!

Only then could he face the potential crises that lay ahead!

"Agreed!"

Mo Xun nodded in agreement.

But then, a hint of hesitation and uncertainty appeared on his face.

Just as Qin Zheng was about to leave, Mo Xun hurriedly spoke up, "Friend Qin, there's something I must tell you."

Qin Zheng stopped and turned to look at him.

The old Phoenix Clan member spoke with a grave expression, "Earlier, I mentioned that the Demon Race's destiny was thriving, while the Human Race's destiny was weak."

"Now, the situation has become even more dire!"

"The Demon Race's destiny surges like a dragon soaring through the skies, while the Human Race's destiny is like a candle in the wind or a lamp in the rain, flickering on the verge of extinguishing!"

"The Demon Race's momentum is unstoppable! With your and Wu Qingping's talents, making alternative plans might be the only way to preserve the Human Race!"

Despite Mo Xun's words, Qin Zheng maintained his composure.

Even without Mo Xun's warning, he had already sensed the impending storm.

However, aside from facing the crisis head-on, the only other path was to become a slave to the Demon Race like Shi Feng, which Qin Zheng would never allow.

So, he nodded and, looking at the solemn old man before him, said, "Thank you for the reminder!"

Without further delay, he took another step into the Void, leaving the space of Immortal Mountain.

Watching his figure disappear, Mo Xun's expression became complicated and conflicted.

The Demon Race's destiny was too strong, showing signs of consuming the Human Race's destiny.

As a member of the Qilin Clan, what choice should I make next?

And in my blood memory, who is that figure buried within the boundless Thunder Sea, and where are they?

After leaving the Immortal Mountain, Qin Zheng headed straight for the Void Spirit Realm that Shi Feng had intentionally informed him about.

According to Shi Feng, this Void Spirit Realm had sealed three Primordial Taiyi Demons, and all the seals had been broken by him.

If his words were true, then if Qin Zheng didn't go there, these three Great Demons would likely descend upon the Spirit Ruins Realm soon!

Qin Zheng wanted to get there first and set the battlefield within that Void Spirit Realm! With this thought, his movements suddenly quickened again.

Moments later, a Void Spirit Realm, enveloped by Void Turbulence, appeared before him.

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, and instantly entered it.

Silence!

There was no sudden ambush as he had imagined.

The world was tranquil and harmonious.

The evening glow dyed the horizon red, and the land was adorned with green mountains and clear waters, reaching the pinnacle of beauty.

It seemed like an untouched paradise.

However, Qin Zheng's expression remained unmoved.

As he took another step forward, the evening glow shattered into dark clouds, and the green mountains and clear waters turned into ruins. The world was filled with a pungent stench of blood and gore.

Three hundred-zhang tall Bull Demon, Toad Demon, and Dog Demon stood there, each occupying their own territory.

Beneath them, the ground was littered with flesh and white bones.

And within the gaps of the bones, one could vaguely see 'worms' squirming and writhing.

These 'worms' were humans with blank expressions, their spirits seemingly broken.

In that instant, a surge of anger rose from the depths of Qin Zheng's heart.

It was like the moment he had first stepped into the martial path, encountering the Bear Demon's cave in Mo Xun Mountain, and seeing the humans being used as ingredients.

Or like when he was about to ascend to the Martial Saint realm, witnessing the dazed and lifeless humans in the White Bone City outside of Great Jin.

The humans in the Bear Demon's cave had been sent by the high-ranking martial artists.

The humans in White Bone City were also provided by the Great Martial Saint of the Gao Clan.

And these humans before him were undoubtedly sent by Shi Feng!

Despite being humans, they had betrayed their own race and willingly fed their kin to the demons. Qin Zheng's calm expression turned cold, and a terrifying killing intent surged from his body.

"Just as that Shi fellow said, there are indeed fearless human 'worms' coming here."

At this moment, the three Great Demons turned their gazes towards Qin Zheng, seemingly surprised, and spoke in unison, "Who will go first?"

Boom!

Before their words could finish, Qin Zheng's figure had already appeared above the Bull Demon's head.

With a grasp, he clamped down on its horns, and his power erupted in an instant!

The Bull Demon had barely any chance to resist. In a flash, it was lifted off the ground like a radish and thrown high into the sky.

Without turning back, Qin Zheng waved his hand, and dozens of crimson sword auras appeared out of thin air, forming a torrent that surged forward with a mighty roar!

Boom! The earth shook violently, emitting an unbearable wail.

The terrifying sword intent to slay the heavens and destroy the earth filled the entire Void Spirit Realm in an instant.

The Bull Demon looked back in shock but had no time to react before the torrent of sword auras overwhelmed it.

Immediately after, a demon core fell from the sky into Qin Zheng's palm. He turned back to look at a rippling section of the void.

With a wave of his right hand, dozens of slaying gods sword auras appeared and transformed into a flood that surged forward!

Whoosh!

The ripples in the void shattered, revealing a hundred-zhang tall Toad Demon.

The illusion just now was a manifestation of his innate divine abilities, aiming to lure Qin Zheng away.

"Guwa!"

In the final moment, a deafening roar of panic and chaos erupted.

Then, a torrent of sword energy surged forth, engulfing and silencing the heavens and earth in an instant.

In a short while, three Tai Yi Grade Great Demons were slain!

Qin Zheng reached out, and another demon core appeared in his hand.

At the same time, on the Heart Sea, the Virtue Scroll trembled slightly, revealing lines of text.

【Item Discovered: Heavenly Bull Demon Core, can be refined, requires 10 strands of Primordial Merit, refine?】

【Note: Refining can obtain Wondrous Artifact: Heavenly Bull Bloodline】

【Note: With a trace of Blue Ox Bloodline, there is a chance to unlock Qi Divine Treasury】

【Item Discovered: Earth Dog Demon Core, can be refined, requires 10 strands of Primordial Merit, refine?】

【Note: Refining can obtain Immortal Technique: Devouring Heaven and Sun Godly Skill】

【Note: When cultivated to perfection, it can refine all things in the heavens and earth!】

【Item Discovered: Dream Toad Demon Core, can be refined, requires 10 strands of Celestial Immortal Merit, refine?】

【Note: Refining can obtain Immortal Technique: Ten Thousand Transformations Ultimate Technique】

【Note: Transforming the immaterial into reality, altering heaven and earth, capable of all things!】

As expected, the Tai Yi Grade demon cores were not simple; the items that could be refined from them were all excellent.

Qin Zheng's consciousness swept over the Virtue Scroll, especially lingering on the four characters 'Qi Divine Treasury'.

Previously, there was the Power Divine Treasury, and now there is the Qi Divine Treasury.

How many Divine Treasuries are there within the human body?

He had witnessed the might of the Power Divine Treasury, but he was unaware of the capabilities of the Qi Divine Treasury.

If all the Divine Treasuries within the body were unlocked, how powerful would one become?

In this instant, countless thoughts flashed through Qin Zheng's mind.

Then, with a thought, he looked towards the other side of the Virtue Scroll.

【Qin Zheng】

【Primordial Golden Scripture (Incomplete), Dao Scripture of Purity】

【Treasures: Great Dao Tree (Young), Holy Trinity Jade Ruyi (Damaged), Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying (Damaged)】

【Primordial Merit: 39 Strands】

【Posterior Merit: 756,734,256,327,700】

【.】

【Current Item: Spiritual Secret Realm, can be consumed, 10,000 pounds of merit required to enter again, enter?】

【.】

The three Tai Yi Grade Great Demons allowed him to accumulate more than thirty strands of Primordial Merit once again!

With these thirty-plus strands, enhancing the Great Dao Tree should be almost sufficient!

Qin Zheng thought to himself, then he calmed his mind, turned around, and stepped out, arriving at the land of white bones.

Subsequently, he took out the Human Race Sack and collected all the struggling humans in the gaps between the bones.

At the same time.

In the boundless void.

Within a Void Spirit Realm enveloped by dense spatial storms.

Boom!

Thick dark clouds gathered in the sky, and streaks of lightning resembling silver snakes flashed.

A figure in a blue robe, holding a seven-foot-long sword, stood in the void, calmly observing the opposite side.

There, a six-winged demon with a hideous appearance stood, its body covered in powerful sealing runes.

At this moment, its demonic energy continuously assaulted these seals.

"Little Celestial Immortal, even with some talent and abilities, you cannot kill this saint!"

"Moreover, the more you act, the faster you'll break the seals on my body!"

"Once I break free from these seals, I'll flay you alive and burn your divine soul day and night!"

The demon spoke with a face full of malevolence, mocking.

With his strength, limited by the seals, he could only unleash a fraction of his power, yet he still fought evenly with the human before him.

Once he breaks free, defeating him would be effortless!

Wu Qingping's expression remained unchanged, and he did not continue to attack. Instead, he shifted his gaze to another location.

There, on a mountain peak, sat a well-endowed and exquisite woman in elegant attire, currently observing the battlefield with great interest.

"You don't need to look at me. Do as you please, and I won't interfere," the woman responded with a charming smile.

Wu Qingping did not reply further.

Observing the six-winged demon's intensifying demonic energy and the formidable aura of the woman on the mountain peak, he muttered to himself, "It's time."

Hearing his words, the demon sneered, mocking, "Is it time?"

"In this shattered realm, even the rules are incomplete. Do you still aspire to ascend to Tai Yi?"

"That's just fool's talk."

Before he could finish.

Boom!

An extremely powerful aura erupted from Wu Qingping's body in an instant!
