Chapter 385: Treasure-Seeking Compass! Su Yang of Daozhen Sect! (4k2)



In a land blessed with abundant spiritual energy, the dense Immortal Qi condensed into white mist, enveloping the surroundings.

Suddenly, a crimson glow appeared, instantly staining the white mist-like Immortal Qi into a scarlet hue.

Then, a series of unrestrained laughter echoed.

Beneath the blood mist, the ground was covered in gore, as if a blood rain had just descended.

Several towering figures, revealing their Demon Race features, stood covered in blood, laughing heartily.

On the ground, over a dozen heads with hideous expressions were scattered.

Judging from the torn skin and flesh on their necks, these demons had ripped them off and casually tossed them aside.

At this moment, one of the demons with bull horns stepped on a man's head, gripping a woman's neck with his other hand.

"Just two Taiyi Void Realm cultivators, and you think you can guard this cave mansion with a few Celestial Immortals?"

The demon scoffed, his eyes filled with ridicule.

This blood-red area was the entrance to a cave mansion.

"We already agreed to leave! Why are you still attacking us?"

The man being stepped on struggled to speak.

Even though he had reached the Taiyi Void Realm and established his own power, becoming the leader of a faction,

But facing the demon stepping on his head, he still felt a sense of helplessness.

Hearing his words, the other demons standing nearby laughed even louder, mocking the man.

"Let you leave?"

"What if you've already explored this cave mansion and secretly taken away its treasures?"

On the side, a demon with double wings on his back responded with a sneer.

As he spoke, his tongue seemed to transform into a sharp weapon, instantly piercing one of the heads on the ground.

He quickly retracted it, his face slightly flushed, revealing a satisfied and intoxicated expression.

The pierced head was now empty.

"Hmph."

The horned demon snorted, then replied, "You humans are naturally weak. How could we possibly let you go without tormenting you first?"

As he finished speaking, the foot stepping on the man's head pressed down harder.

He relished the process of gradually increasing the pressure, hearing the agony of the human beneath him and the sound of the skull cracking.

He waited until the human's vitality weakened to the extreme, then exerted sudden force, crushing the head like squashing an ant.

The splatter of blood and the instant collapse of the head were intoxicating.

The horned demon savored the moment, his gaze shifting to the woman in his hand, her vitality hanging by a thread.

With her Dao Palace shattered, her Taiyi Void Realm cultivation completely dissipated, making killing her meaningless.

He tightened his grip on her.

The woman struggled in pain.

The man on the ground, crushed under immense force, bled from his seven apertures, enduring excruciating pain.

But when he heard the woman's muffled groan, he struggled to shout, "Let her go! I'll give you anything as long as you release her!"

His voice was urgent, fearing that she might be crushed to death in an instant.

The next moment,

As his words fell, the foot stepping on his head slowly lifted.

An opportunity!

He thought with joy.

He quickly stood up, suppressing his anger and fear, and said humbly, "I have..."

Bang!

A mixture of red and white liquid splattered onto his face, and the headless corpse of the woman was casually thrown in front of him.

His expression froze, as if witnessing something unbelievable, and his body began to tremble.

He stumbled and knelt, reaching out to touch the woman's remains.

But before he could make contact, a large foot descended before his eyes.

Bang!

Another crimson stain splattered across his face, still warm and retaining the woman's body heat.

"Treasure-Seeking Compass?"

The horned demon looked down at him, his face contorted. "You better have it, or you'll learn the consequences of deceiving me!"

As he finished speaking,

Boom!!

A deafening explosion echoed, startling the demons. They quickly turned towards the source of the sound, which was also the entrance to the cave mansion.

The next instant,

Swish! Bang!

A massive shadow flew out from the cave entrance, slamming into the ground and skidding to a stop before them.

Amidst the gazes of the demons, the figure on the ground was none other than the strongest among them! However, at this moment, his body above the waist had been completely blown apart, vanishing without a trace.

"Third Elder!"

The crowd of demons, upon seeing this, underwent a drastic change in their expressions.

Several powerful demons swiftly approached the half-body, intending to help restore its physical form.

Having reached the Great Demon Realm, even if their bodies were crippled, as long as there was still a glimmer of life, they could consume their life force to recover! But as they drew near, they discovered that the demon core of the Third Elder had been extracted, and he was already dead beyond a doubt.

"Who?!"

The powerful demons roared in anger.

The horned demon and the other powerful demons remained silent, their gazes fixed on the entrance of the cave mansion.

Then, a figure clad in a golden-patterned black robe slowly emerged from the cave mouth, entering their line of sight.

"Human?"

A demon spoke in a cold voice.

In the next instant, he suddenly charged towards the figure, his anger erupting as he shouted, "How dare you..."

Before he could finish, the figure in the golden-patterned black robe took a step forward, casually throwing out a punch.

Boom!

The massive demon body flew backward at an even faster speed, exploding in mid-air and transforming into a cloud of blood mist, which rained down upon the earth.

Witnessing this, the other demons who were about to make their move instantly calmed down.

The horned demon slowly stood up, asking solemnly, "From which mountain do you hail? Have you heard of the reputation of my Dragon Tiger Mountain?"

Qin Zheng did not respond but instead reached out to grab the flying demon core, his gaze sweeping across the crimson earth before him.

Receiving no reply, the horned demon's expression darkened, as if an ant he had casually crushed underfoot had suddenly landed on his head.

A surge of violent emotion erupted within him like a volcanic eruption, quickly rising to the surface.

However, the human's strength was unclear, and he dared not provoke a conflict. He decided to wait until he returned to find the Second Elder and the First Elder to deal with this human.

Thus, he suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke in a cold voice, "I say..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in the golden-patterned black robe appeared before him, reaching out and grasping the horn on his head.

"I say you can die."

A calm voice sounded in his ear, followed by an overwhelming force that was impossible to resist, surging out like a flood.

The horned demon had just reacted and was about to struggle when, in the next instant, he felt the world spinning, and then he was suddenly smashed into the ground.

Boom! Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed, and a massive crack appeared in the immortal land, causing the surroundings to tremble.

At the center of the tremors, the originally robust horned demon now had half of his body smashed, and his breath had also reached its weakest point.

The other powerful demons, upon seeing this, did not hesitate for a moment and instantly transformed into streams of light, fleeing the scene.

Qin Zheng's expression turned pale, and he calmly said, "In this place, one cannot fly in the void."

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed, and the demons who had flown away fell back into the void, crashing to the ground.

Immediately, with a wave of Qin Zheng's hand, hundreds of Immortal Slaying Sword Auras filled with dense killing intent appeared in the void.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The sword auras fell like a torrential rain, quickly covering the demons who had fallen from the void.

Within a few breaths, only a pool of thick demon blood and demon cores emitting misty immortal light remained on the ground.

At this moment, Qin Zheng looked down at the horned demon beneath him. In the shocked eyes of the demon, he saw a deep-rooted trace of vengeful poison.

"Heh."

Qin Zheng smiled lightly, then dragged the demon's body and threw it in front of the stunned human man.

"This bull demon is already useless. Do you want to take revenge personally?"

Upon hearing these words, the stunned man seemed to regain his senses, and his gaze fell upon the bull demon before him.

The man's eyes instantly turned red with killing intent, and he roared like a wild beast. Then, he stood before the bull demon.

"You wretched human..."

Seeing the man's face filled with murderous intent, the horned demon instinctively wanted to rebuke him.

But in the next moment, the man's fist slammed down on his face.

Even though the man's strength was inferior to the horned demon, even though the man was already severely injured.

Yet, he was a Taiyi Void Realm cultivator, and under the endless waves of anger, he continuously threw punch after punch, striking the horned demon.

The horned demon gradually let out unbearable wails.

After seeing that the horned demon had no chance of counterattacking, Qin Zheng reached out and collected the demon cores, taking out the Soul Calming Jade Orb.

Threads of cool air quickly flowed into the depths of his soul, replenishing the soul power that had been depleted from his previous assessment.

This realm was indeed peculiar. The consumption from activating the Immortal Technique·Word Becomes Law was far greater than what he had experienced during his trials.

Furthermore, the entire process lasted only for three breaths before the rules of this realm returned to normal.

At this moment, he appeared unharmed, but his soul was somewhat weakened.

Fortunately, with the Soul Calming Pearl, he could make up for his deficiency.

With this thought, he took out a bottle of Soul Nourishing Pills and, after opening it, threw it into his mouth.

Instantly, a surge of soul power filled him, quickly replenishing his depleted state.

Only then did Qin Zheng have the leisure to turn his gaze around, and thoughts began to stir in his mind.

This realm was not a barren land; there were humans and demons, but he didn't know if they were natives or, like him, had been transported here.

If they were also transported here, how did they arrive?

The drop of Dharmaraja blood that brought him here, how did these humans and demons enter?

Qin Zheng's mind raced with these thoughts, and as his perception rapidly expanded, the surroundings also came into view.

Endless immortal mountains stretched before him, shrouded in dense Nine Heavens Immortal Qi, a place of supreme opportunity: A place brimming with vibrant life and overflowing with immortal aura, it was indeed like a fairyland.

Where exactly is this place? Qin Zheng's heart was filled with doubt once more.

Just then, as his perception swept the area, the aura of the horned demon reached its lowest point and slowly dissipated.

This indicated that the demon had been brutally killed by the human man, beaten to death with his bare fists.

Qin Zheng turned his head, and his gaze fell upon the horned demon's corpse, its body smashed into a bloody pulp on the ground.

Yet, the human man's actions didn't cease; he continued to punch the ground, pounding the blood and flesh beneath.

"He's dead," Qin Zheng spoke up.

Upon hearing these words, the man's actions finally halted. He staggered forward, approaching Qin Zheng.

Plop!

His knees buckled, and he knelt before Qin Zheng, exclaiming, "Thank you, senior, for your assistance!"

"Su Yang, on behalf of my wife Jing Yan and the thirty-six disciples of the Daozhen Sect, I offer my gratitude for your act of revenge!"

As he finished speaking, he was about to forcefully smash his forehead against the ground.

Just as his forehead was about to make contact, an invisible force halted his action.

"Senior!"

Su Yang lifted his head, his voice filled with sorrow, and said, "If I don't complete these three kowtows, I will be ashamed to face my wife and fellow disciples!"

Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he released the restraint, allowing Su Yang to solemnly perform the three kowtows.

After completing this act, Su Yang's eyes were filled with a desire for death.

He stood up, took out his storage bag, and handed it to Qin Zheng, saying,

"Although the Daozhen Sect is small, it has its own heritage. I hope you will accept it, senior."

"Within this bag is also the Daozhen Sect's supreme treasure - the Treasure Seeking Compass."

"With the power of this compass, combined with your strength, you will undoubtedly find abundant treasures and opportunities in this fragment of the Heavens Palace!"

Su Yang was about to impart the method of using the Treasure Seeking Compass to Qin Zheng.

But at this moment, Qin Zheng's instructions, saying, "First, tell me about this place and how you got here."

Su Yang was momentarily taken aback but then candidly replied, "This is a fragment of the Heavens Palace."

"We arrived here through a mirage of the Heavens Palace."

"Were the demons also transported here through the mirage?" Qin Zheng asked.

Su Yang nodded, "The Heavens Palace fragment holds supreme opportunities, so it's natural for the demons to seek them out."

Qin Zheng nodded, his eyes reflecting deep contemplation.

He had asked the man to kill the horned demon, forgoing the dozen strands of innate merit on its body, for two reasons.

Firstly, his soul power had been significantly drained, and the forceful activation of the Immortal Slaying Sword Aura had left him in a weakened state.

Secondly, as the cave's entrance was shattered, he had already witnessed the events unfolding outside.

By allowing the man to take revenge personally, he not only sympathized with a fellow human but also attempted to win him over.

But now, Su Yang was ready to impart the method of using the Treasure Seeking Compass, a tool for finding treasures, to Qin Zheng.

However, Qin Zheng had a different idea in mind.

"I sense your desire to die," he said.

Su Yang nodded in agreement.

"But do you want to continue seeking revenge?" Qin Zheng asked.
