Qinghe Immortal Clan.

They were both at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Song Qingming had only recently advanced in cultivation, and compared to Yu Zhenzi, who had already broken through several hundred years ago, his cultivation level was obviously lower.

Therefore, when fighting the two before, "Nine Nether Old Demon" focused most of his attention on "Yu Zhenzi".

At first, they didn't pay much attention to the young opponent in front of them, and only sent two weaker White Bone Demons to block him.

I thought Song Qingming's face was unfamiliar and his cultivation level was not as high as "Yu Zhenzi's".

With their combined strength, the "White Bone Heavenly Demon" was comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages. Even if they couldn't defeat the person in front of them, stopping him shouldn't be a problem.

But just as "Nine Netherworld Old Demon" steadily suppressed "Jade True Child" and thought he had taken control of the battlefield,

The two "White Bone Demons" that he had refined for many years were easily trapped by their opponent in just over a hundred rounds, which was truly beyond the expectations of the Nine Nether Demon.

Not only the old demon, but even Yu Zhenzi, who was fighting against him, did not expect this.

The one who was able to break the stalemate on the battlefield so quickly was not him, a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator, but Song Qingming, who had only been in the Nascent Soul realm for three hundred years.

Just moments ago, he had been solemn and ready to go all out, but now, seeing that Song Qingming's abilities far exceeded his expectations, a surge of excitement immediately appeared on his face.

Seeing that his other two skeletons were about to give way to the "Mysterious Yang Blaze", he realized that they were about to collapse.

The white skull holding the spear had green light flashing rapidly in its eyes, which quickly disappeared, and its aura also weakened slightly.

At the same time, bursts of green light also shone from the other side of the "Mysterious Yang Blaze".

The two skeletons, who had been powerless to resist just moments before, suddenly changed their aura, and then emitted bursts of black mist that separated them from the surrounding flames.

"Good lad! I didn't expect Yu Zhenzi to invite an expert like you. No wonder you dared to come to Beiming Immortal Continent to search for treasures."

"Let this old ancestor personally meet you and see just how many supernatural powers you possess."

After uttering a somewhat unpleasant sound, the two skeletons suddenly had green light in their eyes.

The next moment, the white skull quickly merged into one, spewing out bursts of black mist that swirled above the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

Once the flames above the spirit treasure were forced back by the black mist, the white skeleton controlled by the Nine Nether Old Demon's natal spirit forcibly emerged from within.

At this moment, the old demon's primordial spirit covered the skeleton, and the pressure emanating from it immediately made "Yu Zhenzi," who was still fighting with another white skeleton, frown slightly.

As expected, things turned out exactly as predicted.

Several hundred years ago, the "Nine Nether Old Demon" was still at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. But at some point, he had already stepped into the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Fellow Daoist Song, please help me restrain the old demon's main body. I will come to help you as soon as I have dealt with this skeleton demon."

Because the "Nine Nether Old Demon" left his original body, the strength of the white bone demon that was fighting with "Yu Zhenzi" also decreased by more than half, which greatly reduced the pressure on his shoulders.

He still has a high-level spirit talisman as a trump card. As long as he finds the right opportunity, he should be able to severely damage the old demon's skeletal demon incarnation.

At that time, he and Song Qingming will work together to force back the true form of the Nine Nether Demon.

This would give them the opportunity to successfully avert the crisis and escape safely from "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent" before the other demons arrive.

Having made up his mind, Yu Zhenzi quickly sent a private message, placing the talisman in his hand on his chest, ready to activate it at any time.

On the other side, Song Qingming received a telepathic message from "Yu Zhenzi," replied softly, and quickly turned his attention to the Nine Nether Old Demon in front of him.

This was the first time he had faced a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator alone since breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Song Qingming was also very curious to know how much his cultivation and supernatural abilities had improved over the years compared to before.

With a wave of his hand, Song Qingming summoned back the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to protect himself. A flash of spiritual light appeared in his body, and two jade rings, one black and one white, appeared in his hand.

The black jade ring flew out quickly and landed instantly above the head of the Nine Nether Demon.

Seeing that the opponent's magical treasure was about to be placed on its body, the skeleton, which was controlled by the Nine Nether Old Demon's natal spirit, had a flash of spiritual light in its eyes and instantly sent out a green light that hit the black jade ring.

The black jade ring controlled by Song Qingming was stopped in mid-air by an invisible force.

After dealing with this magical artifact, the Nine Nether Demon immediately raised a giant skeletal hand, and a white longsword swiftly slashed through the sky.

Immediately afterwards, countless blades rained down on Song Qingming.

Compared to before, the skeleton supernatural power possessed by the "Nine Nether Old Demon" is now several times stronger, with continuous sword light released during the spell, giving people a sense of overwhelming pressure.

The blade had barely flown out when it was already in front of Song Qingming, giving him no chance to use magic to dodge.

Fortunately, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" was already in front of him, and in the face of the rain of sword light, a series of violent collisions rang out in front of him.

After several enhancements and the addition of the Azure Jade Refining Technique, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" is now comparable to a mid-grade magic weapon in terms of defensive capabilities alone.

Faced with the fierce attack of the Nine Nether Demon, Song Qingming was repeatedly knocked back several steps by the opponent's blade light.

However, the golden bronze mirror in front of him did not waver at all, directly withstanding the powerful attack from the opponent.

Seeing that Song Qingming possessed such a powerful defensive spiritual treasure, the Nine Nether Demon's eyes flashed with surprise, and a hint of greed also appeared.

Having spent the past few years in the "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent" and rarely venturing out, he was unaware that another human Nascent Soul expert had appeared outside.

If such a powerful opponent is allowed to continue to improve his cultivation, I will probably have little chance of winning when I encounter him in the future.

Now that we've met, we must find a way to keep them here.

After a moment of contemplation, the black mist rose from the body of the Nine Nether Demon once more, and then a dozen black figures suddenly flashed out from the mist, surrounding him.

"Blood Corpse Puppet!"

Upon seeing these dark figures, Song Qingming, who had dealt with demonic cultivators countless times before, instantly recognized them as puppet blood corpses created by the old demon.

After summoning these blood corpses, the Nine Nether Demon did not stop casting spells. Instead, he took the initiative to raise his sword and cut off a section of one of his skeletal arms.

The massive skeletal arm fell, instantly attracting the surrounding blood-soaked corpses to swarm around it.

These blood-soaked zombies grabbed the skull from the severed arm and stuffed it into their mouths, quickly devouring the arm completely.

After swallowing numerous skeletons, the Blood Corpse, whose cultivation was just at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, immediately experienced a surge in cultivation to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Now that we're full, let's go!"

Under the command of the Nine Nether Demon, more than a dozen blood corpses quickly stepped forward and surrounded Song Qingming.

Facing the surrounding blood-soaked corpses, Song Qingming scanned them with his divine sense, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Although the blood corpses in front of them seemed to be at the Nascent Soul stage, almost every blood corpse had spiritual power that was two or three times greater than that of cultivators of the same level.

Before Song Qingming could make a move, more than a dozen blood corpses rushed towards his location.

Seeing this, Song Qingming raised his hand and waved his hand. More than a dozen chains flew out from the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and instantly locked up half of the blood corpses that were attacking him.

The next moment, white flames reappeared above the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror," instantly engulfing the blood corpse.

Just as Song Qingming was casting a spell, intending to refine all the trapped blood corpses in front of him.

The blood corpse, which had been chained up, suddenly began to swell, followed by several deafening explosions around it.

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye, before Song Qingming could react, five or six blood corpses self-destructed on the spot, and the blood-red light formed by the black mist fell all above the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

At the same time, Song Qingming, who was controlling the magic weapon, instantly felt that the connection between his divine sense and his natal magic weapon suddenly weakened by more than half.

His natal magic weapon, which he had long since mastered, was now becoming intermittent in its connection with him and was even somewhat out of control.

With the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" suddenly going out of control, the remaining few blood corpses immediately broke through the spiritual treasure's defenses and directly approached Song Qingming's location.

"Hahaha, any spiritual treasure that is tainted by my black miasma blood will suffer great damage to its spiritual consciousness."

"Without this treasure, fellow Daoist, let's see how you withstand my attacks!"

Seeing that the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in front of Song Qingming had temporarily lost its effect, the Nine Nether Ancestor immediately showed a look of joy, and the black mist in his hand gathered again.

As Song Qingming faced the onslaught of blood corpses, he used his "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape" technique to dodge to the side, narrowly avoiding the self-destruction of two blood corpses.

But at the same time, as he had just steadied himself, he sensed a dangerous aura coming from behind him.

The countless sword lights controlled by the Nine Nether Ancestor attacked again, forcing Song Qingming to quickly cast spells to dodge and retreat hundreds of feet away once more.

After dodging several attacks, Song Qingming had just stopped in mid-air when he suddenly saw a black mist rushing towards him, trapping him inside.

Before Song Qingming could cast a spell, the long sword controlled by the "Nine Nether Ancestor" had already arrived.

Facing the seemingly unavoidable long sword above his head, Song Qingming, who was trapped in the black mist, suddenly emitted a crimson spiritual light.

The long sword fell, but was stopped by a thick arm, stopping it in mid-air.

Before their eyes, there was "Song Qingming," whose entire body was crimson and shimmering with spiritual light. He easily blocked the Nine Nether Demon's powerful attack with just one arm.

At this moment, his body swelled several times in size, and a phoenix phantom appeared on his back.

"How is this possible?! This is... a body-refining technique!"

Seeing that Song Qingming had blocked his longsword with his bare body, the Nine Nether Demon's face flashed with surprise again, and he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Among human cultivators, there are not many who follow the path of body refinement.

To be able to cultivate one's physical body to the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator like Song Qingming is an existence that is extremely rare, occurring only once every ten thousand years.

It is important to know that body refinement techniques are extremely difficult to cultivate, but once mastered, the improvement in a cultivator's combat abilities far surpasses that of other cultivators of the same level.

At this moment, after Song Qingming used "True Spirit Disintegration", the Nine Nether Old Demon's attack did not gain him any advantage.

It was clear that the supernatural powers of the person before him were already no less than his own.

Just as the Nine Nether Old Demon's expression turned somewhat ugly, Song Qingming on the other side suddenly burst out and pushed away the long sword above his head.

Immediately afterwards, Song Qingming flashed and approached the Nine Nether Old Demon.

He threw a punch at the opponent's chest, sending the white-boned demon back several steps.

"You've been fighting for so long, it's time you tried my punch!"

Before his opponent could regain his footing, Song Qingming had already pounced forward, delivering several more punches that shattered the remaining half of the "White Bone Demon's" arm.

Seeing that the "White Bone Demon" couldn't withstand the attack, the Nine Nether Old Demon immediately spat out bursts of black mist to protect himself, helping to activate his shield to defend. However, while this black mist could help alleviate some of the pressure, it posed no threat to Song Qingming in front of him.

The "White Bone Demon," who had just been displaying ferocity, was now at a disadvantage.

The Nine Nether Demon wanted to control the remaining blood corpses to help, but they were trapped by the "Yin Yang Double Rings" that had been lying in ambush nearby, and were unable to go forward to provide support.

While the two were locked in combat, "Yu Zhenzi" on the other side of the battlefield had already activated a high-level spirit talisman on his body.

After receiving the blessing of the talisman, Yu Zhenzi's magical power suddenly surged, and he unleashed more than a dozen sword lights to cut his opponent's body into several pieces.

After defeating the "White Bone Demon" who was harassing him, "Yu Zhenzi" did not hesitate for a moment and immediately turned around to attack Song Qingming.

He had originally come to support his companions, but unexpectedly, the Nine Nether Demon was already being suppressed by Song Qingming alone and was at a disadvantage.

"Nine Netherworld Demon, it seems your luck has run out today!"

Seeing that "Nine Netherworld Old Demon" had actually lost to Song Qingming in the battle, "Yu Zhenzi" naturally did not want to let go of this great opportunity to beat a dog when it was down.

He quickly joined the battle, maneuvering his flying sword, and together with Song Qingming, they attacked the "Nine Netherworld Demon".

It was already difficult enough to deal with Song Qingming alone, but now with the addition of the powerful "Yu Zhenzi," the Nine Nether Old Demon was secretly groaning in his heart.

If he had known these two guys would be so troublesome, he wouldn't have bothered with them today.

Although he felt some regret, being on the battlefield, it wouldn't be easy for "Nine Nether Old Demon" to escape from the combined attack of Song Qingming and the other person.

After holding out for only a quarter of an hour, the last skeleton of the "Nine Netherworld Demon" was also beheaded by "Yu Zhenzi" with a single sword strike, and the huge body fell from the sky.

After the White Bone Demon could no longer hold on, bursts of black mist suddenly emerged from its body and gathered in mid-air.

Before long, an old man shrouded in a black robe appeared in front of Song Qingming and his companion.

"Fellow Daoist Song, this is the true form of the Nine Netherworld Demon."

"Today is the perfect day for us to rid the cultivation world of this scourge!"

Seeing Yu Zhenzi control the flying sword to attack, "Nine Nether Old Demon" immediately transformed into more than a dozen black mists and fled in all directions.

"Trying to run away!"

Just as the "Nine Netherworld Demon" was about to flee, a whisk flew out from the hand of "Yu Zhenzi".

The white whisk transformed into streaks of silver light that converged in mid-air, instantly forming a giant silver net that locked all the black mist inside.

Just as "Yu Zhenzi" was searching his surroundings with his divine sense, trying to find the true form of "Nine Nether Old Demon"...

Song Qingming, who was in mid-air, took the initiative and focused his gaze on a wisp of black mist at the edge of the silver net.

Suddenly, a giant skeletal hand reached out from the black mist, forcefully tearing a large hole in the silver net above its head, and immediately flew out from inside.

But before the other party could escape far, a flash of light appeared ahead, and a figure blocked the black mist that was trying to escape.

In the state of "True Spirit Disintegration", Song Qingming's physical speed has increased significantly compared to before.

Before the "Nine Netherworld Demon" in the black mist could react, he punched it back.

At the same time, the silver net controlled by "Yu Zhenzi" wrapped around him again, trapping the Nine Nether Old Demon inside.

Having done all this, "Yu Zhenzi" immediately activated the dozen or so flying needles in front of him, inserting them into the silver net. Streaks of silver lightning emerged from the flying swords, instantly covering the Nine Nether Old Demon in the black mist.

"what."

"Hahaha, Nine Nether Old Demon, this set of Meridian Lightning Control Needles was specially prepared for you by this old man!"
Surely you won't be disappointed!

After being struck by the lightning above the flying needle, the "Nine Nether Demon" was instantly electrocuted and let out several screams, clearly showing his great fear of it.

Meanwhile, Song Qingming, seeing that "Nine Netherworld Old Demon" was still casting spells to resist Yu Zhenzi's lightning, immediately summoned a golden flying sword.

A moment later, a hexagonal golden magic circle slowly appeared in the sky, displaying a powerful pressure.

"Seven Star Sword Array!"

Under Song Qingming's control, the "Golden Palace Cloud Light Sword" descended from the sky with the help of the sword light array and directly pierced into the black mist.

"ah.!"

The "Nine Netherworld Demon," already trapped by Yu Zhenzi, had almost no power to resist this attack.

After a scream, the black mist suddenly exploded on the spot.

A golden longsword was stuck directly into the body of the "Nine Nether Demon," and he had completely lost all his breath.

Just as Song Qingming and "Yu Zhenzi" were about to go forward to check, unexpectedly, "Nine Nether Old Demon" suddenly emitted a powerful pressure as the two approached.

"careful!"

"boom!"

Just as the two of them cast spells to release their shields, the physical body of the "Nine Netherworld Old Demon" in front of them exploded.

Unexpectedly, this old demon of the Nascent Soul stage, who had been infamous in the "Huayang Realm" for thousands of years, chose to self-destruct his physical body on the spot.

Using the self-destruction of his physical body to force Song Qingming and the other person back, a white skeleton suddenly emerged from the void in the distance and fled into the distance without looking back.

"Huh! There's another skeleton demon here."

The "White Bone Demon" in front of them was not as large as the previous two, but its speed was much faster, and it had already flown dozens of miles away in the blink of an eye.

As a demonic being who has reached the Nascent Soul stage, "Old Demon of the Nine Netherworlds" naturally possesses some trump cards to protect himself.

He had never revealed this "White Bone Demon" before anyone, not even the many disciples of the Nine Nether Sect.

So that at the crucial moment, they could preserve a chance to escape.

Seeing that "Nine Netherworld Old Demon" was trying to escape, Song Qingming and "Yu Zhenzi" did not hesitate to cast spells and chase after him.

Demonic cultivators are mortal enemies of righteous sects, let alone a Nascent Soul level demon like the "Nine Nether Old Demon," who has already formed a deadly feud with them.

Faced with this extremely weak old demon, the two of them naturally did not want to let him go easily.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already chased each other for over a thousand miles.

Faced with the two people relentlessly pursuing him, "Nine Netherworld Old Demon" was also desperate and risked everything.

While casting spells to block the two, he was also trying to lure the surrounding monsters to come forward and help him.

Demonic cultivators are naturally close to demonic creatures and are generally not easily attacked by them.

However, when encountering outsiders like Song Qingming and "Yu Zhenzi," they would take the initiative to attack, even knowing that their cultivation levels were vastly different, they were still fearless in the face of death.

With the help of the demons, the "Nine Nether Demons" was severely injured, but he still managed to escape tens of thousands of miles away.

Seeing that Song Qingming and his companion were about to catch up with the other party.

At this critical moment, more than a dozen streaks of light suddenly appeared in the distant sky and rushed toward the battlefield.

The leader was much faster than the others around him. With just one glance, Song Qingming and "Yu Zhenzi" could tell that the other party should also be a demon at the Nascent Soul level.

Upon seeing this, "Yu Zhenzi" immediately used telepathy to stop Song Qingming.

"That's enough! Fellow Daoist Song, don't pursue a desperate enemy."

The Nine Nether Demon has been severely injured and his physical body destroyed by us. Even if he manages to escape back, it will take him at least several hundred years to recover.

We have done our best today, there is no need to risk our lives for this.

There are many demons here. If we get entangled with other demons, we might not be able to escape if our magic power is insufficient.

If it were merely to deal with the Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators who came to their aid, Song Qingming and "Yu Zhenzi" would naturally not be afraid of them.

However, the two have now been led by the Old Demon of the Nine Netherworlds to a place where demons gather, and they are constantly killing all kinds of demons, which consumes a lot of their magic power.

Having just fought the "Nine Netherworld Demon," the two had already exhausted a lot of their magical power. If they were to be held back and trapped here, it would be extremely dangerous for them.

Although he felt a little regretful, Song Qingming did not want to continue the risky pursuit.

After using their magic to eliminate the numerous demons around them, the two decisively transformed into beams of light and soared into the sky.

Only after Song Qingming and the other person retreated on their own initiative did the "Nine Netherworld Old Demon" in front breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, facing the other demonic cultivators who were coming to his aid, he dared not choose to approach them.

Instead, it changed direction and hid directly in the ground below.

".

Just as Song Qingming and "Yu Zhenzi" retreated, many other streaks of light arrived at the battlefield location in the distance.

The burly, red-faced man at the head glanced in the direction Song Qingming and his companion had fled, but did not choose to pursue them.

Instead, a hint of doubt crossed his face, and his eyes began to scan his surroundings.

"Huh! I clearly sensed the aura of the Nine Nether Old Ghost just now, how come that old ghost suddenly disappeared?"

"Quickly, go and find out if there's anywhere nearby where people are hiding."

".

Just as the group of demonic cultivators were searching around, another streak of light rushed toward the battlefield from the other side.

Upon seeing the approaching spiritual light from afar, a look of solemnity flashed across the red-haired burly man's face.

"Old Demon Yan, why aren't you chasing after those two human cultivators? What are you still searching for here?"

"Hmph! Fellow Daoist Bai is giving me too much credit."

Those two were no less powerful than me, and even the Old Ghost of the Nine Netherworlds couldn't stop them. How could I possibly chase after them alone?

"Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps wish for me to go and die?"

"What? You're saying that Old Ghost Nine Nether is here too? Where is he?"

Upon hearing the reply, a look of surprise flashed across the newcomer's face, and their eyes also began to scan the surroundings. (End of Chapter)
