Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Chen’s words sent a bone-chilling chill through the dark creatures. It was true they coveted the spirit stones and living beings of this world. However, how could the beings of this world not covet the Black Blood Stones in their possession?
“Su Chen! What are you doing? Don’t come over!11 one of the dark creatures spoke. From Su Chen s earlier conversation with the others, he already knew Su Chen’s name.
“It’s nothing. I just want to know where the passageway you used to cross over is located/’ Su Chen said calmly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the dark creature replied in a deep voice, “Impossible! Even if you kill us, you definitely won’t find out where the tunnel is!”
“Haha.., Do you think I’m asking you?” Su Chen sneered, his eyes full of mockery. He casually glanced at them and said, “Long Wu, search their souls! I want to see where exactly they came over from!”
It had to be said that dark creatures were simply too hard to deal with among the live beings of the same level! Not only were their bodies powerful, but they could also resurrect from death. Even more unbelievable was that their bodies could resist the invasion of divine souls.
Su Chen’s current divine sense was not weak among those of the same level, but it was still a bit difficult to handle the dark creatures. Only by letting Long Wu take action could he ensure absolute success!
“You… How dare you!” The leading dark creature’s pupils suddenly constricted. He couldn’t help but retreat half a step, his face filled with fear. In their eyes, the creatures of this world possessed far too many bizarre methods. Soul searching was one such method!
“Noisy!” Long Wu coldly snorted. As soon as she spoke, her finger lightly tapped out. A beam of divine light flew forth instantly.
In that instant, the dark creature s body began crumbling until only its head remained, grasped in Long Wu’s hand.
Boom!
Boundless power of divine sense erupted out. Long Wu swiftly browsed through the dark creature’s sea of divine sense. It did not take long for her to uncover everything she wanted to know.
Bang!
Long Wu’s fingers clenched slightly. The dark creator es head in her palm was instantly crushed to dust. Right as it was about to be reborn, Long Wu sent another burst of divine fire into its remains.
The divine fire spread and enveloped the rest of the dark creatures, reducing them to ashes in an instant. Even with their ability to resurrect themselves, they could not withstand a Saint King Realm powerhouse. The difference in strength was simply too vast! It was like an ant facing a divine dragon. With a single breath, the dragon could lull the ant thousands of times over.
“Master, I found it!” Long Wu respectfully handed several storage rings over to Su Chen as she said this.
“Oh?” Hearing this, Su Chen raised his eyebrows and took the rings into his hand. By now, he had far too many storage rings to even wear them all, so he could only store them for now to check later. Even he didn’t know just how many treasures he had obtained from entering the Demon Slaying Altar this time.
After storing the rings away, Su Chen asked, “Where is the passageway they used to cross over located?”
“Walking ten thousand miles west from our current location is the passageway they used to cross over…” Long Wu said gravely. Their present spot could only be considered the outer region of the Demon Slaying Altar. Yet even here, the dangers faced were considerable, and they could even encounter the lingering obsessions of dark creatures that had fallen in the past.
There was no telling what horrors continued deeper inside. After all, the Demon Slaying Altar was essentially a forbidden zone of terror. At its core lurked experts comparable to quasi-emperors, even great emperors. Relying solely on a Saint King Realm powerhouse to delve into the Demon Slaying Altar…that was no different than courting death.
“Master, shall we still proceed?” Long Wu asked with a hint of worry.
“Yes! Why not?” Su Chen smiled and replied. Although the Demon Slaying Altar was fraught with extreme danger, now that they were already here, there was no reason to leave. Su Chen was also quite curious about what kind of existence dwelt in its depths.
Most crucially, traces of the Black Blood Stone might be found deep within the Demon Slaying Altar. And he just so happened to lack Black Blood Stones currently. In the outer regions, he had obtained mostly low-grade black blood stones. His intuition told him that within the altar’s depths, there might be middle-grade, even high-grade…possibly even supreme-grade Black Blood Stones!
Thinking of this, Su Chen could not help but feel a swell of excitement.
“Well, 1 will accompany Master! ” Long Wu smiled brightly. She did not ask why. All she knew was that whatever Su Chen decided was right.
Side by side, the two proceeded deeper into the Demon Slaying Altar. Soon, their figures disappeared into the black mist…
At that moment, within the Qin family of the East Barrens.
In a majestic hall, a black-robed man stood with clasped hands, gazing into the void. A faint yet terrifying pressure emanated from his body, warping the surrounding space.
Endless divine light enshrouded him as if a myriad of powers had been bestowed upon him. Though motionless, he was like an ancient divine mountain suppressing heaven and earth. His face held a dignified aura, and when his black eyes opened and closed, the laws of the Great Dao faintly manifested.
“I wonder how the arrangements of my fellow Daoists from the Qin family are proceeding…11 the black-robed man murmured softly, a fervent light flashing in his eyes.
This person was none other than the Qin family’s head, Qin Ziteng!
A cold wind swept in, rustling Qin Zit eng’s robes. Qin Ziteng’s robes fluttered, and an imperceptible sense of chilliness seemed to envelop him. A profoundly dark power emanated from him, bone-chilling and icy. This was an extremely dark force, the most primal energy of darkness.
This energy came from the legendary Shadowless Hall. It was said to be a cultivation method of the Immortal Realm. Its might was terrifying. In terms of power, this cultivation method could rival even an Emperor’s Scripture!
Logically, Qin Ziteng should be unable to cultivate this method. It was the secret art of Shadowless Hall, only permitted to its core disciples. However, he had no choice, for he had a talented son named Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan was the most brilliant prodigy of the Shadowless Hall, which granted him this privilege. Before becoming a saint, he could freely practice the Shadowless Hall’s cultivation methods. This allowed Qin Ziteng to attain an exceedingly formidable foundation, ready to take the final step and ascend to the Saint Realm at any time.
“With the saints of both my clan and the Spirit Race working together, this should unfold without a hitch,” Qin Ziteng murmured, gazing at the firmament.
Yet his brows remained tightly knitted, and a hint of disquiet stirred within. “Still, for some reason, I have a bad premonition in my heart….”
