Chapter 573: Ancestral Demon Appears! Ancient Realm Fragment!
Chapter 573: Ancestral Demon Appears! Ancient Realm Fragment!
"More bugs?"
A chilling whisper echoed from the distance.
Amid the thick, cold fog, two crimson lights suddenly illuminated. Then, a monstrous creature resembling a giant ape with four arms burst through the mist and appeared before Qin Zheng.
"Smash you, you foreign insect!!"
The monster roared ferociously, its hands tearing through the void and rushing toward Qin Zheng from both sides, aiming to crush him into a puddle of blood and flesh.
At this moment, a violent and surging power erupted from the monster's hands, solidifying the void and making Qin Zheng feel as if he were trapped in quicksand, unable to escape quickly.
Where has the giant whale brought me?
This thought flashed through Qin Zheng's mind. Without hesitation, he immediately activated the [Tianyuan Shenjian Dao] and the [Tianyuan Clan Energy Circulation Technique].
The surge of power was instantaneous.
The void, which had felt like quicksand just a moment ago, now offered no resistance. Qin Zheng took a step, and his figure vanished from the spot.
Almost simultaneously,
Boom!!
Two massive palms slammed together, black and red lightning erupting, causing the void to crack.
"Huh?!"
A puzzled and surprised voice echoed.
The monster separated its palms, finding no blood on them, and its expression immediately turned to even greater fury.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Its four palms continuously pounded the ground beneath it, its ferocious aura rising once more. Then, it opened its mouth and inhaled deeply, drawing in strands of Curse Power from the world around it, like a giant whale swallowing the sea.
Rip!
The sound of flesh tearing resonated from its body as it began to rapidly swell. A blood-red gash appeared on its neck, from which a head emerged.
In the blink of an eye, the monster's body had doubled in size, and two identical heads sprouted from its neck.
"Bug!!!"
It roared ferociously again.
Then, in the next instant,
Whoosh!!
An arrow of light suddenly pierced through its body, the powerful destructive force instantly annihilating the monster's Life Vitality, causing it to explode into a shower of blood and flesh.
Qin Zheng stood in the distance, holding the Tianyuan Bow in one hand, his expression calm as he watched the monster disintegrate. His eyes flickered with thought.
In the Nine Continents, not all beings are Ancient Realm experts or monsters. The one I just killed was far stronger than Beyond, yet not quite at the Ancient Realm level.
Was it a Beyond-the-Shore Grade being whose power had transformed due to Curse Power corruption, or did it fall from the Ancient Realm after being corrupted?
This thought crossed Qin Zheng's mind as the Scroll of Merit in the Inner Sea trembled slightly, and a line of text appeared:
[Abyssal creature, pseudo-spirit ancient realm, corrupted by Curse Power, killed, 50 billion Gongde Baojing]
Abyssal creature
Qin Zheng's mind scanned the information on the Scroll of Merit, and his gaze carefully swept the surroundings. The thick fog blocked his perception, preventing him from seeing what lay beyond.
However, from the pervasive Curse Power in the air and the information on the Scroll of Merit, it was clear that he was indeed in the Nine Continents.
Qin Zheng thought this, then looked down at the scripture beneath his feet. The text on it, resembling tadpoles, was rapidly moving, guiding him in a specific direction.
But
He raised his gaze to the front.
Through the thick fog, crimson lights were now shining, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Abyssal creatures weren't just one!
Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, but a hint of gravity appeared in his eyes.
Where had the Mysterious Whale Daoist sent him?!
This thought had barely formed when—
Roar!!
A series of ferocious roars echoed, and massive, mountain-like creatures instantly burst through the mist, charging directly at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng immediately raised the Tianyuan Bow, and as he drew the bowstring, arrows condensed and rained down like a flood.
But just as the arrows were about to collide with the creatures—
"Cough."
A coughing sound suddenly rang out.
Qin Zheng clearly felt the previously empty void become as difficult to move through as mud, and even the arrows he had shot halted in mid-air. The creatures that had been charging at him were also restrained, unable to move.
Qin Zheng's mind focused, and the moment he sensed the anomaly, he activated the Mysterious Whale Tear given to him by the Mysterious Whale Daoist. Any sign of trouble, and he would immediately use it.
He also split his mind, directing one part to the Heavens and Earth Luminous Tower above his head and another to the Skin-Scroll Scripture beneath his feet, trying to activate the power left behind by Tao Te Tianzun and Buddha Ancestor.
With Tao Te Tianzun's strength on par with the Dao Gu Realm, even if this land of Nine Provinces was vast, he should be able to descend immediately once he sensed the Heavens and Earth Luminous Tower.
"Cough."
The coughing sound rang out again.
In the distance, the thick mist parted, and a hunched old man, leaning on a cane, slowly emerged from the fog, approaching Qin Zheng.
As he walked, the creatures' bodies turned to ash and dissipated one by one. By the time he reached Qin Zheng, all the creatures had vanished.
"I see a lot of demon race blood grudge qi in you. Can you explain?"
The hunched old man looked at Qin Zheng and asked.
Demon race
Qin Zheng's eyes flickered as he examined the old man, comparing him to the ancestral demon's false body he had obtained earlier. He noticed subtle similarities.
This old man was not a strong figure from the land of Nine Provinces but rather an ancestral demon from the Chaos Ocean, from the Thirty-Third Heaven!
Qin Zheng's tension eased slightly, but he didn't fully relax, his mind still tightly gripping the Mysterious Whale Tear and the scripture.
"Demon race eats humans, humans kill demons."
Qin Zheng responded calmly.
The old man nodded slightly, seemingly accepting this answer. He then sized up Qin Zheng before saying, "Follow me."
As he spoke, the ancestral demon turned and slowly walked back into the thick fog, leaning on his cane.
Qin Zheng's eyes flickered, and after a moment's thought, he retracted the scripture beneath his feet and followed the ancestral demon.
In an instant, the two figures merged into the mist, becoming indistinguishable.
Now, as Qin Zheng walked through the fog, his perception was restricted to about three zhang around him, unable to see or sense anything beyond that.
So, without hesitation, Qin Zheng asked, "May I ask, ancestral demon, where are we going?"
The ancestral demon didn't turn around, but a calm voice sounded in Qin Zheng's ear, "Ancient realm fragment." (End of Chapter)
