Chapter 967
"What is this place?" Qin Wentian glanced at his surroundings . He was on an ancient battle platform in this illusory-like world . Before them were two immense greater demons, it was a situation that was terrifying to the extreme .
One of the greater demons was the primordial demonic beast, Taowu . It had a human face and the body of a tiger, and it radiated a terrifying feeling of vengeance, as if it was death incarnate . A single glance was sufficient to fill one’s heart with panic and terror .
The other greater demon was a demonic beast with twin horns that resembled a berserk ox . However, the horns were draconic horns, and its hooves were incomparably muscular . It was standing upright like a human, but exuded an extremely imposing aura . Its violet claws could easily shred humans apart .
"Qing`er, be careful!" Qin Wentian’s aura fluctuated . Two demonic beasts had appeared . Was it because the two of them had entered?
Taowu wielded a trident as its weapon . An aura of untold deadliness seemed to gather around it . Its silhouette flickered as it appeared on the platform, charging forward with a domineering strike . A wave of energy that seemed to originate from hell burst out, causing a blood-red light to envelop the entire platform .
Holy lotuses manifested around Qing`er . A multicolored light radiated from her, shooting towards the Taowu . She stabbed out her finger at the same instant, causing spatial energy to transform into numerous sharp swords that shot towards her target .
—RUMBLE!— The incomparably deadly trident smashed forth, destroying everything in its wake . It was like a symbol of death .
Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand appeared . His entire body glowed with terrifying light as he stomped forward to meet the greater demon . Boundless runic light flashed through the sky as his constellation appeared, shining resplendently in this illusory world . He blasted out with a palm strike powered by the God’s Hand, his attack possessing a startling might as it slammed against the Trident of Taowu . A surge of destructive energy gushed over, completely destroying the palm imprint, and Qin Wentian intuitively sensed the horrifying might of the greater demon .
—BOOM!— The Ox with the draconic horns lunged out, causing the battle platform to shake unceasingly . Its hand grabbed outwards, instantly appearing before Qin Wentian . It tried to grab hold of Qin Wentian’s comparably smaller figure so it could rip him apart .
Qin Wentian blasted out another palm strike in anger . That fearsome greater demon ox possessed a boundless divine strength, and it forcibly shattered the palm imprint of the God’s Hand . After which, it succeeded in pushing forth and grabbing Qin Wentian with its hand . The strength it possessed was simply unbeatable . That was the power of a greater demon .
—ROAR!— An earth-shattering roar rang out as the ox demon tried to rip Qin Wentian into pieces . However, a thunderous rumbling sound echoed as Qin Wentian’s body expanded, circulating with boundless runic light . A pure-white flame shimmered around his body, but despite the ox’s failure to rip apart his body, Qin Wentian was still in extreme pain from the attack . The strength of these demons was simply inconceivable .
Thick rings of smoke drifted out from the ox’s nostrils as its large saucer-like eyes stared at Qin Wentian, filled with a malevolence that seemed to originate from the primordial era . Qin Wentian’s body shone with resplendent runic light, exuding a sense of terrifying suppressive pressure that gushed forth in waves . Rumbling sounds rang out and the greater demon was actually forced back a step . After that, Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand transformed into the sharp talons of a great roc, ripping forward to destroy everything as it raked through the chest of the greater demon .
—ROAR, ROAR!— The greater demon let out heaven-rumbling roars . Its powerful palms slammed out once more to grab at Qin Wentian . Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand brimmed with overwhelming suppressive might, meeting his opponent blow for blow . The man and the demon furiously clashed, shaking the heavens and earth with their fight . Qin Wentian discovered that this greater demon had the same cultivation level as him, and that Taowu shared the same cultivation level as Qing`er . This seemed to be an effect of the strange law energy here, suppressing the greater demons to their level .
And at this very moment, a buzzing sound echoed out . On the ancient battle platform, Nanfeng Yunxi and the others appeared . At the same time they arrived, more greater demons manifested in the illusory world . A moment later, a fearsome wave of demonic might swept throughout the realm .
~RUMBLE~ The newly-arrived greater demons instantly lunged at Nanfeng Yunxi and the others . Nanfeng Yunxi immediately activated her flames, which blazed around her body as phoenix wings appeared behind her back . The phantom of an ancient phoenix shrouded her, manifesting an image of a phoenix that fought valiantly against a greater demon at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon . Her opponent was a black-colored wild avian, shimmering with an abundance of death qi .
Chaos erupted on the battle platform . Even Little Rascal’s appearance caused a greater demon to manifest . Little Rascal transformed into its battleform, fighting savagely against its opponent .
"We won’t be gaining any advantages if we fight so haphazardly . Let’s join forces . Me and Nanfeng will be the main attackers . Qing`er and Hua Taixu will act as our support to control and restrict their movements . Qingxuan, Mengchen, and Little Rascal will distract the greater demons by moving around the platform to cause mayhem and chaos!" Qin Wentian roared . After that, the seven of them retreated to another area, and stood in their positions . Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi stood in the center . Qing`er stood beside Qin Wentian, while Hua Taixu stood beside Nanfeng Yunxi, smoothly making up for their individual weaknesses . As for Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan, and Little Rascal, they stood in a scattered formation spaced to the far left and right .
Qing`er’s black hair fluttered in the wind . Boundless spatial energy transformed into runes that manifested a prison, locking down the area in front of them . Hua Taixu’s samsara eyes had turned peculiar, causing quite a few eighth-level ascendant demons to instantly sink into a daze as they roared in confusion .
Qin Wentian’s immense body naturally added to his power . His God’s Hand manifested a world-shaking spear; the spear tip shimmered with a pure-white flame born from his bloodline power as his demonic qi towered up into the sky . His spear contained an overwhelming suppressive might, able to tyrannically sweep across everything underneath the heavens .
Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan, and Little Rascal stepped out from the side, immediately using their most tyrannical attacks . These greater demons were incredibly strong in their defense—ordinary attacks could do nothing to them .
A towering heavenly fire erupted forth from Nanfeng Yunxi, setting the demons ablaze . Qin Wentian’s 100-meter gigantic body stabbed out with a spear, aiming for an eighth-level greater demon ascendant . Upon seeing the spear aiming towards it, the greater demon let out a heaven-shaking roar, but right before it could even react, the destructive spear shone with a brilliantly dazzling glow . It pierced directly through its body, completely disregarding its defensive power .
The destructive might immediately drilled into its body, ravaging the insides of the greater demon and shattering everything within . And with a thunderous boom, the greater demon exploded, returning to the void .
"What an overwhelming attack . " Nanfeng Yunxi froze slightly . However, she didn’t stop to hesitate as she kept up the barrage of attacks . Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand erupted forth once more, resulting in the spear piercing through the head of another greater demon . For those at the same cultivation level as him, despite the fact that they might be supreme primordial greater demons, none were able to survive under his strength . They were all insta-killed by Qin Wentian .
And although these greater demons were powerful, they didn’t understand the concept of joining forces . Under the alliance of Qin Wentian and his companions, the greater demons were vanquished one-by-one and finally, the last of them exploded, disappearing into the void .
"These greater demons are all so powerful . If one chose not to combine forces and tried to fight them alone, only those experts who are at the true peak under immortality would stand a chance to defeat them," Nanfeng Yunxi quietly remarked . Qin Wentian and the others nodded in agreement .
"Luckily, we entered early . If we’d entered after Senior Brother and Qing`er finished their battle, it would have been even tougher for us to win," Jun Mengchen mused . As the sound of his voice faded away, the platform was covered by a layer of intense light, which also enveloped them within . With a ringing sound, the battle platform vanished, alongside Qin Wentian and his companions .
When they reappeared again, they were already on solid ground . Their legs stayed rooted at the spot, and they stared at their surroundings as great waves rumbled their hearts .
This was the true Antiquity City that lay beneath the starry skies . Despite the passage of countless years, its majesty was still as vibrant as ever . However, aside from looking ancient, the city seemed to be wrecked in some places, as though it had suffered damage of an inconceivable magnitude some time in the past . Most probably, several supreme characters that were ancient emperors at their peak had also arrived at this place before, and had gone all out as they fought against each other .
Somewhere nearby, the sounds of something bubbling echoed out . Qin Wentian and his companions turned their attention over in its direction, only to see a pool filled with blood . This pool of blood seemed to sense their presence—the blood within the pool churned as boundless blood runes surfaced, astonishing Qin Wentian’s group .
"This must be the blood essence of a supreme expert . Despite the passage of countless years, it has yet to dry up . It’s turned into a pool of blood instead, and doesn’t seem to have lost any of its power . " Nanfeng Yunxi stared at the blood pool as her heart shook . "This pool of blood…for those with weaker cultivations, it can be used as a tempering agent to refine one’s body . However, it’s unknown whether that individual would be able to withstand the rigorous cleansing from being baptised by the energy within that blood . "
After stepping into the immortal foundation realm, everyone would experience their entire body undergoing a transformation . For immortal kings and immortal emperors, their entire bodies were filled with boundless essence energy . After death, their bones turned into rune bones, and their blood would contain the terrifying power of their bloodline and essence . For those who had reached that level, unless they met an opponent stronger than them, their flesh would never decay and their blood would never dry up .
Little Rascal’s silhouette flickered as its gigantic body rushed directly into the blood pool .
~ROAR~ The blood pool started to bubble intensely, and Little Rascal let out a startled roar . Terrifying blood runes gushed into its body, as though trying to refine it, and Little Rascal suddenly started to shine with an intense, blood-colored light .
A moment later, a fearsome vortex appeared . Little Rascal opened its maw and furiously devoured the blood energy, trace by trace .
"He’s using the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor to absorb the energy of this blood pool . " Nanfeng Yunxi’s gaze flickered . Little Rascal’s fleshy body looked extremely terrifying, but it almost collapsed during the baptism of the blood pool . It was enduring immense pain, and its entire body was marked with blood runes, giving it an exceptionally fearful appearance . Despite the pain, Little Rascal continued to endure the baptism, allowing that surge of blood energy to corrode its body . Some time later, its body grew tougher, actually turning into something resembling a crystalline exterior, sparkling and translucent .
"It looks like Little Rascal will soon evolve . " A look of joy appeared on Qin Wentian’s face . Little Rascal was gradually maturing to the later phases of its growth!
