Chapter 740 - 581: Slaying the Demon Venerable
Outer sea regions of the End of the World.The figure of the eerie youth vanished instantly, hurriedly returning!
Such a scene left the present demon race leaders completely bewildered, unsure of what to do.
After all, it was Cangming Demon Venerable who was the true initiator of the beast tide, and all tribes of the outer sea had to follow his orders.
"Clan Leader, Demon Venerable has left, what... what should we do?" A Tier Three Demon Beast, seeing the situation go awry, cautiously asked.
The demon race leader looked at the super array opposite, knowing that one wrong move would turn thousands of tribesmen into cannon fodder.
After a long struggle in his expression, unwillingly, he ordered, "The momentum is gone! Order a retreat!!"
In an instant.
Those fearless demon races retreated like the tide.
They came quickly, and left just as swiftly.
The sea surrounding the islands occupied by the human race had long been stained red by the blood of demon and human cultivators alike, resembling a bloody purgatory.
Xiao Xun’s face was pale; she had just fought fiercely with two Tier Four Perfection demon cultivators, and with a Tier Five Demon Venerable lurking, even with her cultivation, she almost couldn’t hold on.
Fortunately, with the Tier Five array Qin Ming left behind and Elder Nanming’s support, the outcome of the battle was not in jeopardy.
Elder Nanming’s cultivation had dropped to the late-stage Nascent Soul stage, and he had only just recovered to Nascent Soul Great Perfection before engaging in a battle with the demon race, leaving him drenched in sweat.
Seeing the demon race retreat, both of them couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
However, Xiao Xun, with a hint of worry in her expression, said, "That Tier Five Cangming Demon Venerable went back, it must be because Fellow Daoist Qin acted in the Soul-Eroding Bone Swamp."
"Elder Nanming, should we go over to support and meet up with Fellow Daoist Qin?"
Elder Nanming, being knowledgeable, after pondering for a moment, said, "Friend Qin’s divine techniques are no weaker than those at the Divinity Transformation stage, and he wields powerful treasures, capable of slaying a Divinity Transformation. Us going over would only complicate things for him, binding his hands and feet."
"Just wait for his return with peace of mind."
Xiao Xun nodded slightly upon hearing this, and immediately began directing the people below to start cleaning up the battlefield.
...
...
On the other side.
Just as Qin Ming was about to leave the Soul-Eroding Bone Swamp, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth nearby shook violently, and then a wave rippled through the void.
Cangming Demon Venerable seemed to have used some kind of great divine escape technique, tearing through the void, and appeared in front of Qin Ming in a very short time.
He looked at the destroyed Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon and the taken True Spirit Egg.
The entire person revealed a frenzied brutality, his eerie face twisted, blood-red eyes glaring at Qin Ming as he roared furiously, "You deserve to die!!"
Subsequently, Cangming Demon Venerable’s figure instantly vanished from the spot, charging towards Qin Ming.
Qin Ming braced himself, yet didn’t lose his footing. Since he dared to come here, naturally, he wasn’t afraid of this outer sea overlord.
His Demon Infant activated the body refining divine technique, and without hesitation, he punched out behind him!
Boom!
Crack!
Above the black swamp, a violent collision sound rang out, and in a flash, silver light illuminated the surroundings, as massive waves of air swept everywhere.
Two figures shot out, each forced back a thousand feet before barely stopping.
The eerie youth’s Qi Blood churned within, a bone claw of his went numb from the shock, as he looked at the plain-looking human youth across with disbelief.
He couldn’t comprehend how a human cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage could contend with him in physical combat without being at a disadvantage.
To actually match him, a Demon Venerable, on equal terms...
After composing himself in mid-air, Qin Ming’s pupils flashed with a hint of green light as he scanned the opponent.
He utilized the Yin Yang Profound Mirror divine technique, looking at Cangming Demon Venerable, noting that his lush vitality still seemed rich, with at least two thousand years of lifespan remaining.
"So it’s you!!"
Cangming Demon Venerable also recognized Qin Ming’s appearance, he was the human cultivator who fled from Dragonbone Reef last time.
"Human brat! No wonder you dare to cause trouble on my turf with some skills!"
"However, in the face of absolute power, all is futile, today I will peel your skin and use your Nascent Soul as a lamp! To vent my wrath!"
The eerie youth gritted his teeth and cursed!!
He then unleashed his aura, revealing his true demon form, transforming into a gigantic sinister beast towering a thousand feet!
This demon resembled a behemoth lizard, its dark scales adorned with intricate patterns, blood-red veins like molten lava coursing between its scales, its spine bore two rows of bone spurs, and a pale "Soul-Eroding Eye" opened between its brows, fearsome to behold.
Cangming Demon Venerable transformed into a gigantic skeletal lizard, menacingly terrifying, as he leaped towards Qin Ming, gaping maw aiming to tear him apart!
Roar!
Seeing this, Qin Ming directly utilized the "Demon-Monster True Power Technique," instantly transforming into a colossal Ancient Demon Ape, its massive fists pounded its chest, causing violent spatial ripples.
The towering and mighty silver ape, its five fingers clenching into a fist, focused all its power, spanning several thousand feet to strike horizontally!
Boom!
Heaven and earth changed colors, countless black thunders appeared suddenly.
With a single punch, the Ancient Demon Ape sent the skeletal lizard flying, causing an overwhelming wave on the sea, triggering a tsunami.
The devastating shockwaves spread across the surrounding seas.
The skeletal lizard’s head was hammered into a daze by the punch, looking in disbelief at the equally fierce giant ape on the opposite side.
He again opened his massive maw, from which a huge force of attraction and repulsion emerged in the space, a ball of black light instantly forming in front of Cangming Demon Venerable.
It seemed to threaten to completely obliterate everything before him!
The surrounding water element Spiritual Qi was instantly drained by him.
The Ancient Demon Ape that Qin Ming had transformed into narrowed its eyes, perceiving that Cangming Demon Venerable on the opposite side, to unleash this Life Great Divine Technique, had furiously summoned the Power of Heaven and Earth, paying a huge price, even bringing on the Interface Rebound Power.
Under the observation of Qin Ming’s Yin Yang Profound Mirror Divine Technique, the verdant vitality within its body was suddenly reduced by more than half!
It was evident how much this creature loathed him.
After all, Qin Ming had not only destroyed the laboriously cultivated Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon but also took away the True Spirit Egg, making them life-and-death enemies.
Cangming Demon Venerable, having battled Qin Ming, was clear about his strength.
Thus, next he spared no cost, relentlessly stirring Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, depleting his own lifespan, intending to completely annihilate Qin Ming!
It was imaginable that Cangming Demon Venerable had been pushed to a desperate state by Qin Ming, to the point of a fight to the death.
Nonetheless.
Faced with Cangming Demon Venerable’s frantic strike, Qin Ming was almost indifferent, instead curling his lips into a meaningful, mocking smile.
Boom!
A massive black light, carrying a destructive soul-devouring power, swept straight towards Qin Ming!
It was the Soul-Eroding Beast’s Life Technique—Soul Erosion Grand Ritual!
At the same time.
A purple entry within Qin Ming’s Sea of Consciousness disappeared without a trace...
This entry was one of the few battle-type entries he had refreshed: [Spell Duplication]!!
Since Qin Ming had been cultivating for over three hundred years, diligently farming and planting Spirit Plants, he had only refreshed and used it twice!
The first time was during the chaos in Qingyang Market, when pursued by three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, resulting in killing two and severely injuring Lin Zixiao to escape alive.
And now it was used again.
In the instant of entry consumption, it perfectly copied the Life Technique that Cangming Demon Venerable had unleashed, transforming into a purple leaf in Qin Ming’s hand.
Without hesitation, Qin Ming released it directly against the incoming black light.
Boom!
In a flash, a Soul-Eroding Divine Technique identical to Cangming Demon Venerable’s, stirred the Power of Heaven and Earth, creating a terrifying ripple—whether in power or momentum—perfectly replicated, sweeping towards him.
"How is this possible?!"
"How can you know this lord’s Soul Erosion Grand Ritual Divine Technique?"
Cangming Demon Venerable’s eyes widened in disbelief, gazing at the identical Great Divine Technique opposite him, starting to doubt his demon life.
This was the forced Life Technique he unveiled, regardless of the Interface Rebound Power from the Human Realm, to kill this Human Race Cultivator, causing him to lose nearly half of his lifespan.
Rumble!!
Two black lights collided above the Celestial Vault, instantly causing the sky to collapse and the sea to overturn.
The Soul-Eroding Bone Swamp under the collision of the two Great Divine Techniques turned into a gigantic basin a hundred miles in circumference...
"Only a thousand years of lifespan left, dare to compete with me in longevity?"
"Brain kicked by a donkey, perhaps?"
Qin Ming said without further entanglement.
"What do you mean?!" Cangming Demon Venerable, having activated the Life Technique at great cost, returned to human form, asking with a pale face.
Seeing Qin Ming opposite him, looking carefree and unaffected, and hearing his tone, his heart could not help but jar, subtly sensing something ominous.
The next instant.
Qin Ming took out an ancient-shaped bronze mirror, directly igniting the Longevity Dharma Power of "Cyan Emperor Technique".
The Eight Gates Golden Light Mirror, suddenly flickering with a dazzling Golden Divine Flame!
Dense golden light rays, ignoring all defenses, pierced through the void and Cangming Demon Venerable’s defense, landing straight on him.
"This... This is..."
On Cangming Demon Venerable’s eerie face, a look of extreme fear appeared, sensing an impending disaster.
Immediately following, he distinctly felt his within vitality and lifespan rapidly draining.
At this moment, he felt like an autumn leaf withering in the wind...
Cangming Demon Venerable’s eyes showed astonishment, watching himself visibly aging, hair and teeth whitening and falling, body becoming frail and withered, approaching death.
Soon his vision suddenly blacked out, plummeting into an endless abyss...
Henceforth, this Tier Five Demon Venerable who had ruled over the Outer Sea for thousands of years, perished at the hands of Qin Ming.
Died from depleted lifespan.
"A thousand years of lifespan, no loss in slaying a Tier Five Demon Venerable, can continue to plant anyway."
"Alas! I only have five thousand six hundred sixty years of lifespan left."
Qin Ming waved his hand, sweeping its corpse inside the Little Spirit Realm.
The Little Spirit Realm’s Little Silver Fox and Tian Ling’er stared in amazement.
They first saw a massive gray egg thrown inside, then a corpse with a terrifying aura was also tossed in.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat, having watched Qin Ming battle the Tier Five Demon Venerable, was initially appalled.
But upon witnessing its master’s formidable prowess, unleashing supreme Divine Techniques to slay it, was instantly thrilled!
"Hahaha! See, boasting too much!"
"Can’t leap about now, can you?"
It cautiously extended a foot, nudging the corpse before it.
