Chapter 191: Chapter 146 Qingcang Reappears

Qing Python’s pupils revealed unusual colors.

Suan Ren was not the strongest among them; Qing Python was confident he could defeat this pampered pup, but his opponent wasn’t exactly weak either.

Moreover, he was the nephew of the Angri Cave Heaven Master and a prodigy of the Suan Ni clan. With a protector almost akin to a Demi Immortal above him, and various methods to protect his life below, killing him was as hard as ascending to the heavens. Yet, how did he die so soon after entering the Human Race’s territory?

Could it have been a Taoist Heavenly Girl who killed him?

"Who killed him?"

"I do not know. At the time, I was communicating with Suan Ren through Divine Thought. He used a secret technique to locate the secret realm at Earth’s Extreme and was excavating it when he suddenly lost contact. When I soared into the sky to check, I only saw a giant hand in the clear sky repelling Angri Demon Saint."

Jin Yuzhi from the Golden-Winged Great Peng clan soared thousands of feet into the air, surveying Nanshui from all directions. She could even perceive bug eggs miles away.

Vision alone encompasses the world, one of the divine abilities of the Golden-Winged Great Peng clan.

Vision is the most direct method of detection, but also the easiest to notice.

Yet, once beyond a certain distance, visual detection is the least likely to be noticed, as many are already wary of Divine Thought.

"When I checked on Suan Ren again, only a headless corpse was left. There was also a prodigy from the Sword Control Sect fighting with Suan Ren’s protector, with the Human Race prodigy emerging victorious. The golden light from her body might be the legendary Golden Light Spell."

"Golden Light Spell?"

Qing Python showed a hint of caution.

"I have heard that this spell is impervious to all other spells and divine powers, making attacks enter a state of mutual consumption without breaking through. How powerful is she?"

Divine Power, by name, implies the ability to penetrate heaven and earth.

Golden Light Spell is one of the highest forms of Divine Power; it demanded his attention.

"Sixty-six foundations, but for some reason, the aura she displayed was much stronger. That yellow-skinned old servant is a Demon King of eighty-four foundations, yet he was utterly powerless against her, unable to even unleash his Demon Core. She might possess the power of the Thirteenth Level."

Jin Yuzhi gave a very high evaluation. She only needed a distant observation to gauge Chi Yu Zi’s approximate strength.

"The Demon Core was not even deployed before dying?"

Qing Python’s mind tensed slightly, speaking solemnly, "She likely has the power of the Fourteenth Level, perhaps even more formidable than ordinary Fourteenth Levels."

The worst fear in combat is confronting someone who reaches an extreme state; ordinary people develop ’morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and laboriously,’ which, bluntly put, means without reaching fulfillment they rely on quantity.

Array, talisman, pills, magic artifacts, etc.

Mediocre combat often involves numerous methods, but real powerhouses use one fresh move to conquer all.

"Why would a Sword Control Sect prodigy involve herself in this? Are they on good terms with the Sanqing Taoist Sect?"

He was immediately perplexed.

If the Sanqing Taoist Sect was willing to bring out the Immortality Pill, they could have directly sought a Demi Immortal-level powerhouse, like the Lord Emperor of Daqian.

Already powerful in mana, bearing the Dragon Vein Qi Fortune, he was stronger than ordinary Demi Immortals in Immortal Land.

Jin Yuzhi shook her head, "I do not know, only that a Human Race Cultivator told me every individual in the Daoist group is extraordinary. True Sword Dao, Demon Sect’s successor, Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, and the Three Pure Ones, each harbors unique skills."

"Just us few, can we really withstand them? Suan Ren’s death might have been by the Heavenly Girl’s hand; we wouldn’t survive a single blow either."

Golden-Winged Great Peng harbored concerns, subtly considering withdrawing.

Since their clan’s Cave Heaven wasn’t lost to the Qingcang Immortal, nor were there any deep-seated blood feuds tying them, her family and kin were safe.

She came here merely for profit, providing intelligence and seeking benefits.

But upon engagement, she suddenly realized things were slipping beyond her control. On the surface, everyone was a peer prodigy with little difference in foundations; however, behind the scenes, various Demi Immortals had intervened more than once.

"We won’t be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back; that would be too dangerous. But we could be one push when the wall falls. If we don’t exert effort now, Jianmu will eventually collapse."

Qing Python’s pupils, large as bull’s eyes, were filled with resentment, like flames raging within.

He was a direct descendant of the Ba Snake Royal Family. Thousands of years ago, when he was still in the eggshell, the Sanqing Taoist Sect led the Human Race’s Immortal Sect’s Flying Boat directly to the Ba Snake Cave Heaven, brutally sacrificing millions of its kind.

Thousands of snake branches, millions of his kindred, all turned into pools of blood, staining the entire sky.

His divine thought was weak then, only aware that the elders desperately sent him out.

Later, Qingcang Immortal used the Ba Snake Cave Heaven as a pebble, knocking down other Grotto Heavens like Xiang Yi, Ming Snake, and Turning Turtle. His homeland and millions of fellow beings became playthings in the hands of Human Race Immortals, like stones breaking bubbles, forcing more Devil Clan Grotto Heavens to fall.

This enmity, unbearable under the same sky.

Qing Python slightly parted its beastly mouth, thousands of teeth densely packed, with fragments of limbs and bones wedged in between.

"If she would strike once, what’s a further death?"

Madness.

Golden Jade hesitated then, with a flicker of dread, took to the skies, gathering the prodigies of various Devil Clans scattered around the borders of Nanshui.

A loud eagle cry echoed, and diverse forms of Devils converged from all around.

Some crawled, some walked, some flew.

Wherever they passed, lives withered like dry grass meeting fire, with villages and towns turning to bonfires.

Even more people fled to the north; the term ’Devil Calamity’ became prevalent, causing widespread panic.

Those with no alternatives simply joined the Nanchun Army, 감독
