Chapter 1014 Blood Slaughtering Heavenly Venerable, Clash of Spiritual Flames
Inside the main hall of the cave.

As the fire dragon roared, it stirred up the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), unleashing a power comparable to a peak seventh-tier magical ability, turning the entire space upside down.

After the ancient evil cultivator ruthlessly and decisively killed the cultivators of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, he became entangled in a fierce battle with Fei Chan, a traitor from the Gu Clan.

Qin Ming's expression was uncertain, and he wanted to find a chance to sneak away, but he suddenly realized...

The evil cultivator's divine sense subtly swept across the area, clearly indicating that he had already discovered him.

However, his ability to conceal himself was a true demonic illusion, which even those below the Mahayana level could not see through.

Qin Ming thought for a moment and realized that they were probably targeted by that ancient evil cultivator when they entered this cave.

Hiding right under the other party's nose, there's no way to escape.

Meanwhile, the cave space was sealed off by the evil cultivator. Fei Chan, who was fighting him to the death, was covered in blood. She saw that the ancient evil cultivator's mind was constantly scanning the southeast corner of the cave, and she soon noticed the anomaly.

Given this person's shrewd and experienced nature, combined with the lingering aura of the spiritual ginseng from before.

Suddenly, Fei Chan guessed that there must be other people hiding inside the cave, and entered the ancient cultivation cave before them.

"Fellow Daoists below, why don't you come out and help?"

"Do you think you can get away with this? Once this demon kills me, it will be your turn next."

Fei Chan, wielding the sharp Five-Colored Time Pearl, was almost suffocating under the suppression of the ancient evil cultivator, and was at her last gasp.

If things continue like this, it's likely to perish here.

If it weren't for the sacred artifact of the Gu clan, which caused Fei Chan to emit a time-reversal effect whenever she was on the verge of death from serious injury, the Time Pearl would have been able to rewind time.

His injuries healed immediately, making it a truly miraculous artifact!

Qin Ming, watching from the shadows, was also greatly astonished. He never expected that there were such powerful treasures in the world, capable of combining offense and defense, and possessing immense supernatural power.

However, activating this treasure requires a huge amount of resources, and even a cultivator from a powerful True Spirit Clan like Fei Chan can only use it a few times.

It is estimated that he has only unleashed one-tenth of the power of the Time Pearl at this moment.

In addition, Fei Chan noticed the fear in the ancient cultivator's expression, as if he had recognized the other party's identity after the broken sword was reshaped.

After some thought, Qin Ming decided to stop hiding since they had already discovered his location.

After casually handing several life-saving talismans to Master Maomu and his companion, he said:

"The situation outside is not good. I have already notified the Immortal City of Yunzhou, and I estimate that they will arrive here soon."

"You two should pray for your own good fortune. Perhaps you can seize the opportunity to survive while I am entangled in the battle with that ancient evil cultivator."

"Try to join forces with the support from Yunzhou Immortal City."

Master Maomu and Fairy Nishang accepted the talisman with great gratitude. Qin Ming had only made a deal with them and could easily abandon them.

Even in such a critical moment, I still decided to help them, which is truly an immense favor.

After giving instructions to the two, Qin Ming had the Devouring Sky Rat sneak into the nearby void, preparing to join forces and launch a sneak attack.

Whoosh whoosh!
The next moment, several streaks of emerald green light streaked across the void, radiating the power of thunder, and emerged from all directions, striking the ancient evil cultivator!

Ding Ding Ding!
The ancient evil cultivator was in the midst of a fierce battle with Fei Chan when he suddenly frowned, sensing a sense of crisis.

Just as the wooden nail was about to pierce his body, his figure suddenly became ethereal.

The wooden emperor nail, which was originally meant to strike the ancient evil cultivator, instead struck the illusory figure and missed its target.

As Qin Ming appeared, both the ancient evil cultivator and Fei Chan looked at him simultaneously.

After seeing that he was only a human in the early stages of the Fusion Realm, he lost interest in killing time.

After all, even the two elders of the Myriad Immortals Alliance were not spared from death just now, and with Qin Ming's cultivation level, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long either.

Qin Ming did not show much discouragement when his attack missed. His opponent was an ancient monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years, and his methods were far superior to those of ordinary cultivators.

next moment.

He directly unleashed the Soul-Destroying Demon Sword, and a terrifying aura descended upon the cave space.

A dark blue demonic sword, radiating the power of calamity, firmly locked onto the ancient evil cultivator's body, and then slashed away with a mournful cry.

Upon discovering that Qin Ming was capable of unleashing such terrifying divine power, the ancient evil cultivator's expression finally changed.

Having just recovered from his confinement, he clearly didn't dare to directly confront Qin Ming's powerful attack, and a hint of unease flickered in his eyes.

Then, demonic energy surged around him, and countless rays of blood light condensed into a spiritual shield around him, with red flames burning around him.

Immediately afterwards, he activated the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, which transformed into a blood-red streak and slashed towards Qin Ming.

Boom!
The Soul-Destroying Demon Sword swept past with a whoosh, and the two divine swords collided violently in mid-air. The powerful shockwave caused the entire cave to tremble.

Countless bolts of lightning and flame spread outwards.

"Hmm? What kind of demonic power is this?"

"It actually managed to withstand the full force of the Zhanli Sword's attack?"

The ancient cultivator took a few steps back, a look of extreme confusion on his face.

As this person's attention was drawn to Qin Ming's appearance, the pressure on Fei Chan's side suddenly decreased.

To his astonishment, the human cultivator who was hiding in the shadows was actually able to fight this ancient evil cultivator to a standstill.

It should be noted that the old monk surnamed Qi from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, as well as the middle-aged man in the jade robe, were just killed by that terrifying Demon-Slaying Sword.

It was truly unbelievable that this ordinary-looking human cultivator could rival him in swordsmanship.

Qin Ming raised his hand and retrieved the Soul-Destroying Demon Sword from the void, then asked Fei Chan:

"Does Your Excellency recognize this person's origins?"

Before Fei Chan could answer, an ancient, evil cultivator with flowing black hair descended slowly from above, his sinister gaze fixed on Qin Ming, and he spoke in an extremely domineering tone:

"You're pretty good, kid."

"I am Yan Tianxing, the Blood Spirit Celestial Venerable of the Myriad Spirits Realm. Have you heard of me?"

This person's words exuded an air of arrogance and disdain for everything.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming felt a chill run down his spine. Anyone who could call themselves a Celestial Venerable was naturally an existence at the Mahayana level or above.

Fei Chan took a breath, her expression uncertain, and added:
"Indeed, the person before us is Blood Butcher, known as the number one evil cultivator in the Myriad Spirits Realm."

"Legend has it that it perished in ancient times under the combined attack of many powerful beings, but unexpectedly it was able to be resurrected."

Qin Ming also showed an extremely solemn expression upon hearing this, as this was the most powerful opponent he had encountered since advancing to the Integration Stage.

It is even more powerful than the Power Star, one of the twelve demon stars of the demon race.

Fortunately, this person's cultivation level had not recovered to its peak.

Otherwise, Qin Ming would have had no choice but to use all his skills to escape.

He then used the Yin-Yang Mystic Mirror divine power to secretly check Xue Tu Zi's lifespan, only to find that the other party actually had an extremely long lifespan.

To be precise, it's Yin Lifespan. The Azure Sun Old Demon in the Lesser Spirit Realm was extremely familiar with this situation, and calmly commented:

"This Blood Butcher is really going all out."

"Presumably, in order to survive, he didn't hesitate to switch to the path of ghosts and become a ghost cultivator."

"In that case, even if it can be recovered, it will come at a great cost."

"From then on, the path to immortality was cut off, and his natal spirit transformed into a pure yin body, unable to forge a yang spirit again, at most he could become a ghost immortal."

"Moreover, those who cultivate the Ghost Path are abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Tribulations they need to overcome are dozens of times greater than those of ordinary cultivators, making it a near-certain death situation."

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens, that's quite a ruthless person!"

"No wonder I felt it was really terrifying when I first saw him."

"He truly deserves to be called the number one evil cultivator in the Myriad Spirits Realm. If he were to recover his strength and cultivation, what would become of him?"

"Hehehe! However, this person's demonic arts are no match for my demonic arts. Young friend Qin should be able to handle the current situation, but killing this person will probably be a bit difficult," said the old demon Qingyang, stroking his beard.

next moment.

Inside the cave, Blood Slaughter Celestial Venerable's aura surged wildly. With the help of the primordial spirit essence of the cultivators he had just absorbed, his hands formed a gesture of supporting the sky!
It seems they're about to unleash some incredible power.

Seeing this, Fei Chan, who was not far away, felt her eyelids twitch wildly in the face of this powerful aura, and immediately gritted her teeth.

While their attention was drawn to Qin Ming.

With a sudden 'boom,' its physical body exploded, and its primordial spirit transformed into countless transparent spirit insects, hiding beneath the blood mist as they fled and scattered in all directions.

He only dared to take such a desperate gamble because he possessed the sacred artifact of the Gu tribe.

If it were any other cultivator, such a self-destruction of their physical body would inevitably result in a drop in their cultivation level.

After all, once you reach the Integration Stage, your primordial spirit and physical body become one, especially since you are an ancient true spirit whose primary body is the physical body.

However, thanks to his decisive decision, Fei Chan's fragmented soul successfully broke through Xue Tu Zi's spatial blockade and escaped.

Only Qin Ming and Xue Tu Zi remained at the scene.

Upon hearing Qingyang Old Demon's words, Qin Ming immediately stopped holding back and unleashed his Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon Commander True Body!

Suddenly.

He transformed into a towering demon god, exuding an aura of unparalleled arrogance. When he unleashed his full demonic power, he possessed an indescribable and powerful confidence.

After a few breaths of preparation, Blood Butcher on the opposite side made a grasping motion with his five fingers, summoning a ball of blood-red evil flame out of thin air, emanating an aura of at least the eighth rank.
It was the Blood Slaughtering Celestial Venerable's most important weapon in establishing his infamous reputation in ancient times—the Blood Spirit Evil Flame!
In an instant.

With a single move, Blood Butcher merged with the blood-red evil flames, transforming into a demon burning with evil flames, unleashing an aura that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas with every gesture!

The Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand also grew to several thousand feet in size, burning with raging flames.

Rumble!
The moment the two powerful figures transformed, the world changed color, and the ancient cave hidden in the valley was razed to the ground.
"What kind of demonic power is this?"

Who exactly are you?

Blood Butcher, who had transformed into a giant of blood and flames, also showed a rare look of surprise when he saw Qin Ming's true form as the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon Ruler.

Blood Butcher had lived for so long, and this was the first time he had encountered such a powerful demonic body; he even felt a faint sense of suppression.

It can be said to be the most powerful supernatural ability I have ever seen, apart from those few true spirits who specialize in cultivating the physical body.

"There's no need to ask who they are; let's see who they are."

Qin Ming said something indifferently, and then a burst of golden light suddenly erupted from the left eye of the Heavenly Demon he had transformed into, and the eighth-order Primordial Poison Flame transformed into a bluebird and flew out.

The temperature in the space suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Without saying a word, he immediately unleashed the full power of his spiritual fire and slammed it towards Blood Butcher on the opposite side!

"You actually have an eighth-tier Heavenly Spirit Fire?"

Even Blood Butcher, the number one evil cultivator in the entire realm of spirits, was shocked by Qin Ming's endless stream of methods.

It's hard to imagine that a cultivator in the early stages of the Integration Realm could control such a powerful secret technique and spiritual fire.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is already at the Mahayana level of combat power.

Blood Slaughter Celestial Venerable even suspected that during the tens of thousands of years he had been silent, the world outside had changed.

Why are the juniors who just arrived so busy when I woke up?
There was no time to think.

Qin Ming's overwhelming offensive was already upon them, and Xue Tuzi also showed a solemn expression, no longer treating him as a junior.

The Demon-Slaying Sword, imbued with eighth-order Blood Spirit Evil Flame, slashed fiercely towards the Heavenly Demon that Qin Ming had transformed into!

Boom!
In an instant, the world changed color, and the primordial energy within a radius of ten thousand miles surged back and soared into the sky!
The terrifying collision of eighth-order spirit fires and the overwhelming impact of demonic power swept everything away!
Dark black lightning bolts tore through the sky, roaring and turning the heavens into daylight!
Numerous terrifying void rifts appeared around the Ash Valley, causing it to collapse downwards.

The extraordinary phenomena that resulted from the clash were even more exaggerated than those of a powerful cultivator undergoing tribulation.

Every living thing affected was instantly reduced to dust.
The two, Master Maomu and Fairy Nishang, had already fled thousands of miles away. They were still grateful that they had finally escaped with their lives under Qin Ming's protection.

But the ensuing aftershocks mercilessly swallowed them up.
After Fei Chan self-destructed her physical body to escape, her primordial spirit insect darted ten thousand miles in one breath. With the protection of her true spirit bloodline supernatural power and the sacred artifact, she barely escaped with her life.

He glanced back at the terrifying battle power erupting from the direction of Ash Valley and immediately showed extreme fear.

"What...what is this?"

"A battle fluctuation at the Mahayana level."

Even though he was thousands of miles away, he could still clearly feel the terrifying spatial turbulence generated by the aftershocks of the battle.

He dared not linger and, riding the Time Pearl, fled from there as fast as he could.

Not far away.

More than ten enormous spirit ships from Yunzhou Immortal City, after traveling through the night, finally arrived near the edge of the Giant Tree Forest.

Young Master Fei and Elder Xintu followed the spiritual guidance and rushed over.

Because this place is extremely far from the Immortal City, it took the two of them several days to reach it.

Just then, Fei Dashao, who was standing at the bow of the ship, took out the blood talisman. It was radiant with spiritual light, and a guiding light flashed on it.

"Good! We've finally found you, you traitor!"

"Elder Xintu, the Blood Talisman Spirit has located my younger brother, a member of our clan. Fellow Daoist Qin's information is indeed accurate!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Xintu stepped forward to take a look, but in an instant, he saw that the light mark on the blood talisman quickly dimmed again.

Upon seeing this, Young Master Fei was speechless, and he was about to say something.
The next moment.

A violent tremor first came from the void, and then the primordial energy of heaven and earth trembled like boiling water.

An incredibly terrifying shockwave swept across the immortal city's magic ship fleet where they were located.

The array formations on the spirit ship instantly became ineffective, causing it to sway like a small boat adrift in a giant wave.
