Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1641 The Curtain Falls
The depths of the gradually dissipating dark demon realm.

"No!"

A roar filled with resentment and fear rang out.

Looking at the three elders of the Devouring Netherworld Sect who fled without hesitation, the Demon Skin Sect's Void Elder's face was filled with despair. His originally handsome face instantly twisted, like an exquisite mask being torn apart, revealing black, twisted flesh.

At this moment, streaks of black and white sword shadows once again pierced the sky and slashed down towards him, while the Grand Elder of Fumai and the other three also surrounded him from all directions, completely blocking all his escape routes.

"Am I really going to perish here?"

The Grand Elder Xu Xiang looked around and fell into unprecedented despair.

The strength of that Grand Elder of the Yuanji Palace alone was beyond his ability to contend with, not to mention the addition of four other peak late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Eastern Star Profound Sea cultivation world to the battlefield.

More importantly, there is an unparalleled genius who reigns supreme in the heavens.

In an instant, Elder Xu Xiang subconsciously looked into the depths of the dark void.

A faint blue light shone again, staining the dark void. A young figure in a green robe stood silently in mid-air, radiating an ancient and boundless pressure, as if to suppress the entire world.

Of course, the other party is absolutely qualified.

Looking across the entire Star Sea world, he couldn't think of anyone in this world who could rival him. Even the Heavenly Demon Flower, whose power was close to the limit of heaven and earth, had fallen at his hands.

That person's terrifying strength was almost equivalent to that of a great cultivator who could openly appear, making him invincible in the world.

Just then, Elder Xu Xiang seemed to discover something, and the despair on his face turned into unprecedented shock and anger.

"idiot!"

"Those three idiots!"

"Damn it, he's just bluffing!"

However, the blue light that had gathered in the sky did not give rise to a new offensive; instead, it began to slowly dissipate.

Seeing this, Elder Xu Xiang immediately understood that the other party had deliberately revealed his power just now to scare away Elder Shi Ming and the others, preventing the three of them from rescuing him.

"Those three idiots, they were scared out of their wits by the other side."

However, by then it was all too late. The Demonic Cult's Elder Shi Ming and others had already desperately fled and disappeared without a trace.

Elder Xu Xiang's despair did not last long, because Elder Guanji clearly would not give him any more chance to live.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, giant black and white palms of heaven and earth slammed down, launching a joint offensive by the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Vein and others.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The demonic clones appeared in every corner of the battlefield, but none of them could escape and all collapsed.

Above the sky.

As the blue light dissipated, a young figure in a green robe reappeared.

"That's decisive enough!"

Watching the figures of the demonic body and the Grand Elder of the Underworld disappear, Li Qing's face showed a calm and indifferent expression.

The intention behind my move just now was not merely a bluff.

If the Elder of the Underworld and the others still dare to dream of rescuing the trapped people, one person will definitely be left behind again.

Even though his magical power is almost exhausted and his soul has suffered serious injuries, he can still launch a fatal attack.

The reason for dispersing its power is that the illusory elder who was left behind has no way to escape.

"I had hoped to use this opportunity to resolve the karmic debts from back then, but I didn't expect one of them to escape!"

Li Qing gently shook his head.

His original purpose in this battle was to seize the magic crystal for his demon body, and then take the opportunity to kill Elder Xu Xiang and Elder Sen Gu to resolve the karma of the siege he suffered years ago. However, he did not expect that a slight oversight would still occur in the end, allowing Elder Sen Gu to escape successfully.

However, this is no longer important and will not affect the demon's next plan.

Now that only three elders of the Four Symbols Demon Sect remain, the Devouring Netherworld Elder and the others will inevitably have to rely more on their demonic bodies for future actions.

For him, there was no need to forcefully take action just to keep that Elder Sengu.

Forcibly activating the profound mysteries of the Kunpeng Secret Technique in this battle, bearing the will of the Kunpeng, was already a huge challenge for him. Later, in order to verify the power of the Kunpeng Secret Technique, he forcibly continued to attack despite the suppression of the rules of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and also suffered some backlash.

It's not worth making Elder Sengu forcefully take action in his current state, given that he's just a mere Elder Sengu.

At that very moment.

A scream echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

But all that could be seen was the Grand Elder, who had been split into four, being pierced by streaks of black and white sword shadows, and the last demonic skin avatar collapsed once again.

Faced with the siege of Elder Guanji and others, the Grand Elder Xu Xiang, who was left behind, had no power to resist.

Boom! Boom!
A crimson, fiery palace phantom descended from the sky, completely dissolving the surging, erupting demonic energy. A black and white scepter followed. Boom! Boom! The countless demonic shadows vanished completely.

The Grand Elder of the Demon Skin Sect, one of the Four Symbols Demon Sects, thus perished.

After the war ended.

Elder Guanji led the other four people to land on Li Qing's side.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, this is a relic of that demon!"

Elder Guanji presented a piece of black demonic leather with both hands, his attitude clearly undergoing a significant change.

The gazes of the Grand Elder of Fumai and others now held a hint of awe.

The previous battle was enough to prove that this True Monarch Qingxuan was no longer on the same level as them.

The arrival of the rules of heaven and earth was undoubtedly telling them a stark truth: in a sense, the power of the ancient Kunpeng phantom that finally appeared was already at the level of a great cultivator.

"Since you all joined forces to slay this demon, how could I possibly claim it as my own!"

Li Qing smiled faintly: "I also want to thank Elder Guanji for helping me retain this demon and resolve the grudges from back then."

If he hadn't sent that final message, the Grand Elder would probably have continued to relentlessly pursue the demonic body.

The grudges and entanglements from the battle against the Ghost King Sect back then became the perfect excuse.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, there is absolutely no need for you to refuse!"

Elder Guanji smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for your help, fellow Daoist, I'm afraid our Eastern Star Profound Sea cultivation world would have faced annihilation in this battle. What are these spoils of war worth?"

"Fellow Daoist, for the sake of our Eastern Star Profound Sea cultivation world, you risked great danger to intervene and even suffered serious injuries as a result. We, the Eastern Star Profound Sea cultivation world, will never forget this life-saving grace."

"Given time, if Fellow Daoist Qingxuan needs anything, our Heavenly Vein Sect will certainly do our utmost to help!"

The Grand Elder of Fumai, who was standing to the side, then expressed his opinion.

If this person had not personally arrived, the demonic faction would likely have achieved a great victory, and the western sea area would have fallen into the hands of the demonic forces.

"The same applies to our Crimson Cloud Palace."

The other three also expressed their stances on behalf of their respective sects.

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need for such formalities. Our Eastern Sea borders the Eastern Star Profound Sea cultivation world, so we should naturally support each other and safeguard the peace of this land."

This can be considered another major gain from his trip: the favors he received from the cultivation world of Dongxing Xuanhai.

Regardless, they are all backed by top-tier forces with powerful cultivators at the Grand Master level, so perhaps these major sects will be useful in the future.

After being persuaded by several people, Li Qing also put away the spoils of war from the illusory elder.

"Now that this battle is over, I must leave!" Li Qing said with a faint smile. "Fellow Daoists, there is no need to waste any more time with me. Restoring peace to this world as soon as possible is the most important thing."

"Now that the ambitions of the demonic faction have been completely destroyed by Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, they probably won't dare to cause any more trouble!"

Elder Guanji bowed and said, "When the celebration is held, we, on behalf of the entire Eastern Star Profound Sea cultivation world, sincerely invite Fellow Daoist Qingxuan to come."

"Perhaps the timing is just wrong!"

Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "I was also seriously injured in this battle, and I will probably have to go into seclusion for a while. Thank you all for the invitation, but I'll have to skip this celebration."

"It was I who failed to consider this!"

The old man Guanji said apologetically, "Fellow Daoist Qingxuan should naturally prioritize cultivation."

"However, we still have several special elixirs in our Yuanji Hall, which should be able to help Fellow Daoist Qingxuan recover from his injuries more quickly."

"Our Crimson Cloud Palace also possesses a special Great Crimson Pill, which has numerous wonderful uses for nourishing the physical body and magical power."

"."

In a short time, several top powers took the initiative to offer their treasures to demonstrate their stance.

They naturally understood that the Four Symbols Demonic Sect had only suffered a defeat this time, but that did not mean the threat of the demonic path had disappeared. With the Four Symbols Demonic Sect's strength, it might make a comeback at some point in the future, which would surely be another dangerous calamity.

Although this battle cost several top forces in the Eastern Star Profound Sea a great deal of favors, it also deepened the relationship between the two sides.

Only by taking this opportunity to further deepen their relationship with this True Lord Qingxuan can they regain their confidence and strength in future confrontations with the demonic faction.

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan!"

Elder Guanji took the initiative to speak, saying, "Several blessed lands have appeared in the Central Sea Area. They are still in the exploration phase. If you don't mind, fellow Daoist, you can have your sect's disciples and elders participate in the exploration."

Even the disciples and elders of the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect, far away in the cultivation world of the eastern sea, were unaware of this.

One after another, tremendous opportunities have begun to rain down on the sect.

And this is just the beginning.

In the foreseeable future, the cultivation world of Dongxing Xuanhai will inevitably offer more opportunities to Qianshui Yuling Sect, or more accurately, to them.

"Fellow Daoists, please take care. I look forward to visiting your sect again in the future."

Western sea areas.

With the defeat of the Four Symbols Demon Sect, the demonic forces that had previously occupied nearly half of the western sea area began to retreat frantically towards the northern demonic domain.

The once bustling world has long since turned into nothingness.

A corner of the chaotic outer sea.

On a vast island where spiritual energy is scarce.

The black shadows descended upon a mortal kingdom in the central region of the island.

"These are all perfect blood sacrifices. We can take advantage of the current chaos to perform a blood sacrifice to nurture our natal magic treasures!"

The leader, a young, sinister man dressed in black with demonic patterns, had a bloodthirsty smile on his face.

Now that the Holy Sect has suffered a crushing defeat, the entire demonic faction is fleeing in panic, and no one cares about this mortal land anymore.

"Start now, don't waste time!"

"It's the young master!"

In an instant, several demonic Golden Core cultivators simultaneously descended towards the island nation below.

Dark demonic banners shot into the sky, and thousands of scarlet blood lights, like soul-snatching chains, fell towards the most prosperous capital city in the central region.

"The Holy Sect is too busy taking care of itself to care about the rule of blood sacrifice to mortals!"

The sinister-looking man in the black robe with its demonic patterns carefully took out a blood-red demonic pill.

This was precisely his trump card for breaking through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

"Before long, I will be able to quickly advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm through successive blood sacrifice techniques."

However, at this very moment...

Boundless darkness began to envelop the entire sea and sky, but in the blink of an eye, the darkness dissipated again, like a bubble. Before the countless mortals in the royal city below could react, the sky returned to its pure blue color.

The difference is that the terrifying figures that had just fallen have long since vanished into thin air along with the darkness.

Deep in the azure sky.

A young figure in pure black robes stood quietly.

"This is the demonic crystal nurtured by that Heavenly Demon Flower!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Qing appeared from the edge of the sea.

A hazy black magical light slowly emerged.

Even with layers of seals surrounding it, the magic crystal still exuded endless darkness, as if it had been formed from a dark demonic realm.

The power of the ancient and vast Demonic Path flows within it.

"With this treasure, I can finally go into seclusion for a while."

The demon body revealed a bright smile: "I have already advanced, and the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage is nothing to me!"

"The only thing I lack is time!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing nodded.

After all, the Demon Body has only entered the late stage for less than 150 years. No matter how heaven-defying his cultivation talent is, he still needs some time to temper himself.

"The Demon Summoning Melody inheritance in the hands of the Four Symbols Demon Sect is originally part of the inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect, and it should be of some help to you!"

Li Qing said slowly, "It might help you reach the peak of the late stage even faster!"

"I'm thinking about how to get it from the Four Symbols Demonic Sect!"

The demon's lips curled slightly.

"If all else fails, I plan to have Hei Ming appear ahead of time. In this way, the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce will openly possess three late-stage peak combatants, and the Four Symbols Demon Sect will surely make the right choice."

Li Qing paid no attention to the plan for the demonic body and instead brought up another important matter.

"Regarding the matter that the Four Symbols Demon Sect may be backed by a powerful figure from the Primordial Demon Sect, you should refrain from getting involved for now. At least wait until you reach the late-stage peak realm before delving into this matter!"

A serious look appeared in Li Qing's eyes: "After all, the Beginning Demon Sect was once the number one holy sect of the demonic path. Its methods and foundation are unimaginable."

"You have only received the inheritance of the Primordial Demon Scripture, and you do not fully understand the methods of the Primordial Demon Sect!"

"If the Four Symbols Demonic Sect is indeed backed by a powerful figure from the Primordial Demonic Sect, they might have methods to restrain or even control you."

He naturally understood the allure of the complete inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect for a demonic body.

If one could obtain such an opportunity, the demonic body could very well soar to new heights once again, forging an even stronger foundation for the demonic path.

But it's not wise to act rashly right now.

Just then, a peculiar smile appeared on Li Qing's lips.

"That fellow Daoist from the Burial Spring actually took the initiative to ask me to meet him."
