Immortal Refiner

"Everyone, farewell!" The woman surnamed Duan waved to the others behind her, and then followed Li Qing's steps into the light gate.

Xiao, the Yaksha clan member named Xiao, chuckled and said, "I hope we can all survive and meet again. Farewell!"

"Awoo!" The werewolf Ya Ming transformed into a giant silver wolf, rushing towards the light gate at the end of the Bronze Ruins at an extremely fast speed.

Mo Bai was the last to move. He carefully put away the puppet core of the bronze giant.

Originally intending to leave directly, his gaze couldn't help but fall on the bronze altar in the ruins.

At this time, the altar was surrounded by various bronzes and the body parts of the bronze giant from before. Seeing this scene, he revealed a thoughtful expression.

Li Qing, who left first, arrived in a dimly lit space, surrounded by a gloomy atmosphere, and the air was filled with a strange chill.

Soon, a bloody smell wafted over, and Li Qing frowned as he looked around the space.

This place turned out to be a cemetery, with uneven ground covered with graves and tombstones, and a large number of white bone fragments all around.

Broken soul-calling banners were scattered and crookedly stuck in the ground, making it seem like he had arrived in the underworld.

Following the bloody smell in the air, he saw several corpses with their stomachs cut open, lying crookedly on the ground.

These corpses were not only human, but also other demon and alien races, which was quite frightening.

"They're all dead... What great terror exists in this space?"

The hairs on Li Qing's body stood on end, and he didn't dare to act rashly, his heart was in his throat.

The cemetery was vast, but he couldn't see a single living person. He was the only one breathing.

He took a few steps forward, picked up a small handful of white bone fragments, and carefully observed them.

"The broken bones are very fragile, and there is no trace of spirituality on them, like bones that should have weathered long ago," Li Qing whispered, rubbing his fingers, easily crushing the bone fragments into powder.

Gradually, this unknown gust of wind blew towards him, with the white bone fragments mixed in the wind, giving this unknown gust of wind a physical form.

"Retreat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing casually cast a gale spell, wanting to offset the Yin wind.

But it didn't work. This Yin wind was not as simple as he thought. There seemed to be some inexplicable existence lurking in the wind.

Li Qing's eyes turned cold, he formed a seal with both hands, and a round of golden sun rose from behind his head.

Boom!

The brilliant sun burst out with a burst of dazzling golden light, and in an instant, the Yin wind stopped.

When it comes to dispelling evil, the Great Sun Golden Flame is naturally the most effective spiritual fire on his body. This kind of extremely yang thing is the most restrained against such filthy things.

With the Great Sun Golden Flame as protection, Li Qing stepped forward again and walked towards the corpses.

Coming closer, the strong bloody smell became even stronger. He looked at the wounds on the corpses, and his expression became even more solemn.

The wounds on each corpse were very glaring and shocking, as if they had been forcibly dug open by some kind of sharp claws while they were alive, and all the internal organs inside had disappeared, leaving only a few broken intestines.

The facial features on their faces had solidified, but their dim eyes had frozen the last fear of their lives.

What surprised Li Qing the most was the huge demon corpse. This was a Split-Gold Beast in the Composite Body stage!

This is an extremely rare demon race, which feeds on natural spirit gold ore. Over the years, they have eaten various spirit golds, making the body of this kind of demon beast very hard, and its sharp teeth and claws are extremely sharp.

However, even such a powerful Split-Gold Beast had completely died at this moment. Not only were its internal organs and demon core dug away, but even the essence and blood in its body were gone!

Li Qing sacrificed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, wanting to take some of the Split-Gold Beast's claws and teeth from it. This is an excellent material for refining weapons, which cannot be found even with a lantern in normal times!

Clang!

Along with a crisp collision sound, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword only managed to cut in half, not as clean and neat as he had cut the bronze giant before.

"What a hard body, I'm afraid I can't cut it off in a short time, I can only take it away together."

As soon as he finished speaking, he patted the storage bag and directly collected the entire Split-Gold Beast corpse as huge as a hill.

Although the most precious demon beast essence blood and demon core on its body were gone, but no matter what, it was the body of a Composite Body stage demon beast, even a piece of shriveled flesh and blood is a priceless treasure!

Whoosh!

Soon, a gust of wind blew in the air again, this time with even greater momentum, and the sound of the wind was like some kind of mournful howl.

Li Qing did not hesitate to activate the Great Sun Golden Flame behind his head, and the dazzling golden flames sprinkled down, illuminating the entire earth, instantly making the entire earth seem like it was plated with a layer of gold film!

Only this time, the Yin wind did not stop, it was only slightly weaker, but the momentum was still very strong, blowing towards Li Qing.

"Hmph, I want to see what kind of monsters and ghosts dare to pretend to be mysterious here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing pulled out the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and all four spiritual fires of heaven and earth, headed by the Great Sun Golden Flame, were quenched on the blade.

Boom!

The next moment, he slashed out with his sword, and the sword energy wrapped in flames met the Yin wind.

Almost in an instant, the scorching spiritual fire wrapped in the sword energy was suddenly extinguished.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing gasped and felt a chill.

Soon, the Yin wind approached his body, and a bone-chilling coldness invaded his body.

Even Li Qing's incomparably vigorous qi and blood were useless at this moment. No matter how he stirred up his qi and blood, he could not dispel this coldness.

His expression was extremely solemn, and he only felt that his movements had become a little stiff.

"No, I have to leave this space. The opportunity here is not something I can covet."

Realizing that this place was difficult to deal with, Li Qing finally realized that he absolutely could not handle the danger here. If he stayed any longer, his life might be in danger.

He finally knew why there were so many white bone fragments here. I am afraid that they were left by the powerhouses who entered the Xuantian Temple over the years and strayed into this space.

Because after so many years, these broken bones have completely weathered and lost all spirituality.

Boom!

Li Qing spread out his Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, wanting to use extreme speed to leave.

But he suddenly discovered that he couldn't see the light gate to leave in this cemetery space, as if he had entered a dead end!

And the light gate he came in from had disappeared long after he arrived in this space!

His scalp almost exploded, and the chill that invaded his body became a bit stronger as a result.

Whoosh!

He vibrated his wings, his figure instantly appearing in the high sky. He surveyed the graveyard space from above, discovering that there was indeed no exit gate.

Whoosh whoosh!

The yin wind howled again, still blowing towards Li Qing.

Seeing this, Li Qing activated his Wind and Thunder Silver Wings to dodge. He didn't want to be blown by this strange yin wind again.

That chill that had invaded his body just now still remained and couldn't be dispelled, even with the use of Heavenly Earth Spiritual Fire!

Li Qing dodged, the yin wind pursued.

Moreover, the momentum of the yin wind became more and more violent, gradually forming a tornado that stirred up the remaining white bone fragments on the ground.

A tornado mixed with a large number of white bone fragments attacked Li Qing, like a maggot attached to the bone, impossible to get rid of.

Initially, relying on his own extreme speed, Li Qing was able to dodge well, but he found that this yin wind did not stop at all, constantly chasing him.

"This won't do. Within the Profound Heaven Divine Palace, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi cannot be mobilized. If I keep dodging, even if my mana is abundant, it will eventually be exhausted."

A trace of despair rose in his heart. After traveling north and south for so many years, cultivating all the way to the Refining Void Stage, and now he couldn't even handle a strange yin wind.

Just as he was racking his brains to think of a way to escape, a gloomy whisper echoed in his ears:

"Give me your body... Give me the body... Why bother persevering? Let me fulfill your lifelong aspirations for you."

"Tell me, what is your wish... Eternal life, or to attain Dao and become an immortal?"

"Do you have someone you want to resurrect? I can take you to the pinnacle of the Great Dao. Even if it's the Nine Nether Reincarnation, I can pull them out."

The whispers in his ears couldn't shake Li Qing's Dao heart at all. His eyes were firm, and he calmly replied:

"You lingering ghost, you should resurrect yourself first."

"As for what the scenery at the pinnacle of the Great Dao is like, I will see it with my own eyes in the future, no need for you to realize it!"

As soon as he finished speaking harshly, Li Qing closed his mouth.

He didn't know when, but eight more tornadoes appeared in this space, completely blocking all his escape routes.

No way to go to heaven, no way to enter the earth!

Having no way to escape, Li Qing immediately applied layers of defense to himself.

Four types of spiritual fire surrounded him, the Golden Thread Treasure Armor was fully activated, two killing swords guarded his dantian, and the divine soul in his sea of consciousness also tightly guarded his mind.

Boom!

Nine yin winds simultaneously invaded his body, and the chill instantly occupied his entire body.

In the next moment, Li Qing, who was flying in the high sky, fell directly down, crashing heavily and smashing a tombstone to pieces.

But now was not the time to care about so much. Li Qing's teeth were constantly clattering, a manifestation of extreme cold.

It was hard to imagine that a cultivator in the Refining Void Stage would be so cold!

His face turned bluish-purple, and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen.

It was at this moment that Li Qing finally knew what was going on.

Within this space, there was actually hidden an extremely terrifying vengeful spirit, whose strength before death was unknown to what extent!

Thinking of this, Li Qing's mouth couldn't help but open, saying: "Since you have no wish to fulfill, then fulfill my wish."

"After so many years, I've finally seen a human cultivator with a decent foundation, but it's a pity it's a male body."

"But it doesn't matter, I will take good care of this body of yours."

His one eyeball had completely turned into a white pupil. This terrifying vengeful spirit had actually begun to occupy his physical body so quickly.

"Get out of here." This time, Li Qing's own voice began to be intermittent.

Within his body, a Nine-Headed Serpent's spirit was stimulated and instantly merged with him as one.

"Roar!"

Outside, Li Qing's body suddenly swelled and twisted, and soon transformed into a Nine-Headed Serpent.

However, this Nine-Headed Serpent was also like Li Qing, half of its snake pupils were replaced by white eyes. Even if he used the 'Nine Serpent Heart Sutra' and merged with the serpent spirit, Li Qing still couldn't get rid of the invasion of this vengeful spirit.

"Hee hee hee, just a small Nine Serpent."

"Let me see what else you little brat knows. Tsk tsk tsk, you know quite a lot. You even possess Kun Peng divine power, but your Kun Peng Precious Technique is too crude."

"Watch carefully, this is how Kun Peng divine power is used!"

As soon as the voice fell, the Nine-Headed Serpent transformed by Li Qing directly disintegrated, and the Kun Peng divine power in his body was released without reservation.

"A cry resembling thousands of birds echoed in this graveyard space. A Kun Peng suddenly appeared in the sky.

This Kun Peng was lifelike, its wings were like clouds hanging from the sky, and every feather on its body seemed to hide a star. Between the swaying of the 36,000 feathers, the surrounding space was also affected.

In the next moment, the second form of the Kun Peng was also displayed.

This Void Sky Peng bird transformed into a Wandering Sky Giant Kun, with Xuanming Heavy Water condensed on its body surface, and the sharp thorns on its back protruded like mountain ranges.

This vengeful spirit was actually able to transform into the true body of the Kun Peng without the true blood of the Kun Peng, and could also freely switch between the two forms of the Kun Peng.

For a time, Li Qing actually suspected that the other party was a true spirit Kun Peng before his death. Otherwise, how could he have cultivated the Kun Peng Precious Technique to such a level, and be able to use the true body of the Kun Peng with just the Kun Peng divine power!

Seemingly aware of Li Qing's thoughts, the vengeful spirit chuckled: "Hee, it's just that I happened to practice the complete 'Kun Peng Precious Technique'. Your inheritance is incomplete, so naturally you haven't mastered it."

After the Kun Peng divine power was exhausted, Li Qing transformed back into his original form.

In despair, Li Qing's other black pupil was now gradually transforming towards a white pupil.

A feeling of despair and unwillingness surged from his heart. Having cultivated the Dao until now, had he finally reached the end?

His cultivation at the Refining Void Stage had already surpassed 99% of human cultivators. Anyone would be proud of it.

"What a stubborn brat, let me see what other secrets you have in your body... You're actually a ascender, not easy ah..."

"Don't worry, I will make good use of your body. In the future, I will definitely take this body of yours to ascend to the True Immortal Realm."

Having said that, the voice suddenly stopped abruptly.

After a long time, an extremely horrified voice blurted out from Li Qing's mouth:

"A Demon Lord's successor? How is that possible? With such a destiny... You are the Demon Lord's successor?"
