Night Without End
Chapter 227 - 145: From the Abyss to the Clouds

Chapter 227: Chapter 145: From the Abyss to the Clouds

Black Roc stood like Black Gold cast, perched upon a mountain, overlooking the plains beneath the night sky, healing and emitting astonishing energy fluctuations.

"Third, you’re really ruthless, directly summoning demons into this domain?!" Black Roc was discontent, but fortunately, it recovered quickly, enough to protect itself, otherwise, it might face a challenge from a powerful outsider.

Old Donkey hastened to explain: "Big brother, I was scared. He’s assimilating the silver blood of the fourth; he will surely advance further."

The Fire Qilin, more majestic than an elephant, with its red scale armor shining, was also healing, its body covered in flames, emitting low roars from time to time.

Another Outer Saint with a pierced frontal bone would have been long dead. Even though it’s very painful and went crazy at times, it’s gradually getting better - the bloody hole in the skull is slowly healing.

A small amount of peculiar True Blood in its body was shining, its lineage tracing back to a top-tier species in the deep recesses of the Yewu World - the Fire Qilin.

Black Roc spoke up: "Since you’ve summoned demons, then issue a pursuit order in my name, invite more peers to join the roundup; he must not be allowed to leave Shenshang Plain!"

"Okay!" Old Donkey immediately nodded.

Under the night sky on the Shenshang Plain, beast roars rose and fell, with numerous Raptors spreading their wings, cutting through the dense fog, circling above the dense forest.

After the pursuit order was issued, within the territory ruled by the four Long lived Demons, chaos erupted amongst the Demon Monsters, with powerful Alien Species everywhere, including a small handful of Humans.

Qin Ming, surrounded by a silver glow, absorbed it all, the rich scent of medicine entered his body, and his seventh rebirth had already begun!

He could feel it clearly, blood scabs forming on wounds, bones rejoining, his body boiling hot, flesh as if purified, auspicious glow lingering, his spirit more vigorous than before.

Inside his five viscera and six bowels, clouds rolled and mist surged, immortal fog filled the air, and a bursting vitality emerged, like the arrival of early spring when all things thrive.

His bones were reconnecting and growing at the fastest rate; by this speed, even before he completed his rebirth, the bones would have already healed.

Without the fragrance of the silver heart, Qin Ming’s situation was much better than before. He activated He Guang Tong Chen, blending into the night forest; he had been standing quietly for a quarter of an hour.

But tranquility was ultimately broken. There were too many Demon Monsters in this domain, and soon, creatures discovered him.

This, a sheep, black as ink, stood ten meters tall, this stature even more robust than the Fire Qilin, its two horns looked coarse, not sharp.

But, Qin Ming sharply sensed danger.

Sure enough, this black sheep was very special. It didn’t burst with Demon Energy but with pure bodily strength, destroying dead wood, rushing over, breaking all kinds of large trees.

Qin Ming suspected this black sheep had practiced an Iron Shirt skill; a layer of black light around it seemed indestructible, so fierce.

Currently in the process of rebirth, his bones just reconnected; he didn’t want to confront any powerful creature, fearing that the bones would be dislocated again, so he turned and fled.

Boom!

The giant rocks blocking the way on the plains were smashed to pieces by the sheep’s kick. Wherever those coarse horns passed, groves of towering ancient trees disintegrated. It seemed like it would pierce the heavens.

"I am Yang Dingtian. Hearing you possess a silver heart, I’ve come to collect it. Hand it over, and I will spare you," it said.

"I’ve eaten it!" Qin Ming responded.

Yang Dingtian, in pursuit, said, "Refining you is the same, the efficacy of the medicine still remains for a short time."

Splash! Qin Ming leaped into a large river, but just as he swam a few miles out, he was cornered by a large fish more than ten meters long in the water.

Not long after, a Mountain Ape appeared, another giant, fifteen meters tall. Not to mention his Heavenly Light Force, even its innate divine strength wasn’t something an average Outer Saint could handle.

This Mountain Ape was remembered by Qin Ming!

He was being pursued by the Mountain Ape, its gigantic palm constantly stomping down, nearly grazing Qin Ming’s body multiple times.

The ground cracked, trees snapped, the Mountain Ape holding a Bone Blade, whittled from a giant beast’s rib, chopping down, truly shaking the earth.

Qin Ming didn’t want to make a move, to ensure the bones healed properly, and finally, he jumped into a large lake.

Soon, he was grimacing as he rushed to the opposite bank of the lake. To his surprise, the lake was full of electric eels. Fortunately, their Daoist cultivation wasn’t that profound.

Qin Ming spent the entire day in flight.

Deep into the night, he calmed down, enduring the stench, hiding inside the mouth of a giant crocodile. He never imagined that, in order to survive, he would come to such a wretched step.

He was chased by all sorts of giant creatures, hiding in the swamp, smearing mud on himself to lie low, only to encounter an Outer Saint Level crocodile.

This time, he could no longer endure it. He took the initiative to charge into the crocodile’s mouth, using Heavenly Light Force to explode inside, blasting its life force away, though without external injury.

Qin Ming lay in the crocodile’s mouth, eventually utterly relaxed.

"The Six Imperial Ancestor Court’s test for Core Disciples..." he muttered softly.

This time, that Elder had arranged territories according to their strengths.

Being in the Xinsheng Realm, he ultimately encountered terrifying Long lived Demons like Black Roc, Fire Qilin, and Yang Dingtian, whose strengths far surpassed an ordinary Outer Saint.

If he stepped into the Outer Saint Domain, would the test arrange him in an area where Spirit Field Level creatures were in charge, where he would encounter beings of the Third Great Realm?

That night, Qin Ming slept deeply, his body undergoing astonishing changes.

On the surface of his body, as if with a Golden Needle and thread, he was "stitched" together. Silver Mud like the Big Medicine covered his entire body.

All injured parts of Qin Ming, including the broken bones, made slight noise, and after being "stitched" and nourished by Big Medicine, he was quickly recovering.

The next day, he woke up feeling energetic, in the best state he’d ever been in!

Apart from the poor environment like the crocodile’s mouth, there was nothing he was dissatisfied with; all his injuries had healed, his strength increased, his senses sharpened, Heavenly Light Force rich, and his Consciousness Spiritual Light and Divine Wisdom had also accumulated more.

"If this continues, my seventh rebirth will be complete in half a day!"

Now Qin Ming is full of confidence, having finally healed his fractured bones, no longer hindering him from taking action!

He walked out of the crocodile’s mouth, washed himself many times in Qingshui Pond, and actually, with Heavenly Light Protection, he didn’t smell of any blood or filth.

Qin Ming roasted an electric eel, ate some wild fruits, his eyes emitting a cold spark of electricity. He was already considering the matter of revenge, yesterday was indeed too tragic.

Thinking of those old monsters, he suspected that the Fire Qilin might have special "strange blood," which could further thicken his foundation.

A night passed, and the demons’ enthusiasm for pursuing him had diminished, feeling that he had fully absorbed the medicinal properties of the silver blood, making him less valuable.

At noon, when the night is at its lightest, a dense fog enveloped Shenshang Plain. Qin Ming felt exhilarated as his seventh rebirth was finally complete.

By instinct, he realized that the foundation of his body had broken through its previous limit once again!

However, even though he had obtained two types of "strange blood" successively, enriching his essence, it wasn’t as exaggerated as he had imagined, it was just a slight breaking of the upper limit.

"It seems that having the strength of 1,500 pounds in each arm during the initial rebirth makes such a foundation very difficult to surpass."

Because it seems that none of the Grandmaster Level figures from the past have achieved it.

After seven rebirths, Qin Ming’s body surpassed the limit of 10,500 pounds, but not quite reaching 11,000 pounds.

Of course, this was just his intuition, a rough estimate.

"If you want to break through the limit and thicken the foundation, then I need to find more strange blood!" Qin Ming realized that Shenshang Plain seemed to be special, creatures with special bloodlines weren’t too rare.

At least, he had already discovered three such creatures!

Apart from the substantial increase in his physical fitness and surge in strength, the strange light in his flesh had also become more intense, and beside it appeared a cluster of Golden Radiance, like a shattered sun mixed with light mist.

This was a capability he gained from his seventh rebirth!

Qin Ming took a deep breath, calming himself, for his strength had not yet fully increased, to be precise, the real quality change had just begun!

He glanced at the vast plains full of trees and said, "What a good place, just perfect to practice the Yimu Scripture!"

He sat cross-legged, started circulating the Cultivation Technique, and immediately a fresh aura flowed in this area. The grass and trees rustled, a faint green essence flowing toward him.

Qin Ming had long since mastered the Yimu Strength, and now he began consuming Falling Fruit to enhance this technique.

Inside the Falling Fruit, the dense Outer Heaven Light was almost liquefying, dazzling as it reached his mouth, and even more vigorously turbulent in his body. An ordinary person could hardly bear it; their body would cook through.

But Qin Ming could withstand it; as he ate one fruit after another, his Yimu Strength kept increasing, and in the end, his entire body was covered with green light.

Especially since the forest was resonating with him, providing him with vitality. This indeed was a Miracle Technique, by which one could practice life extension and raise the quality of life!

Green Mist was swirling, mist was dense, and the rich vitality converged towards Qin Ming while the whole forest rustled as if it was communicating with him.

Eventually, Qin Ming’s skin became as white as jade, and his hair turned emerald green, each strand crystal clear as if he had transformed into an elf in the mountains.

With the help of Falling Fruit and resonating with the forest, he had cultivated Yimu Skill to a deeply profound stage, reaching the limit of his current body.

"The Yimu Scripture can not only nourish life, but its power is also very strong!" A green light emitted from Qin Ming’s palm, and with a gentle slap on the ground, it boomed, shattering the surface as the power penetrated deeply.

He lightly swept his hand, and the green Heavenly Light Force flowed, coming into contact with a boulder beside him, turning it into fine dust.

When he stopped circulating the Yimu Scripture, his hair turned back to its black luster.

Next, he began practicing Wind and Thunder Force, a technique he obtained from the Wind and Thunder Blade Manual taken from the Weasel. He valued it very much and had always wanted to master the power of lightning.

Although this was not pure thunder, accompanied by wind, Qin Ming was very satisfied.

This Wind and Thunder Blade seemed like a secret skill of a Great Sect, its Jin Technique was equally astonishing. As Qin Ming’s body was entwined with Lightning, accompanied by Wind Power, a light swing of his fist caused thunderous roars!

Most importantly, its power was very formidable!

Afterward, he fused Electric Power, originating from the Five Elements Palace, although not a profound Thunder and Lightning Technique, it was extraordinary.

Next, Qin Ming began to enhance Heavenly Light Force, alongside Shaoyang Force, Wind Fire Power, Cutting Gold Power, Dragon Claw Force, Bright Light Force, and Jade Flower Power.

He harnessed them all to Unity using Silk Scripture!

Yesterday, he went through a death calamity, chased by all kinds of Demon Monsters, as if he had fallen into the abyss.

Now, after his seventh rebirth, by fusing various techniques, he once again reached the clouds.

Qin Ming integrated nine Jin Techniques at once, an unprecedented endeavor!

Most of which he obtained while retrieving Close Immortal Items for Li Qingyue, in Luofu Immortal Mountain.

In fact, he still had three Heavenly Light Forces that he hadn’t enhanced or fused, mainly because he had run out of Falling Fruit.

Meng Xinghai prepared many bags of Falling Fruit for him, which were all used up despite the large quantity. This was mainly because the techniques practiced this time were very powerful and consumed a lot.

Moreover, Qin Ming really couldn’t eat any more Falling Fruit now. For the first time, he felt he had limits and was "satiated" for the moment as eating more would make him explode on the spot.

By now, he had fused twenty-seven kinds of Heavenly Light Force with four great Miracle Techniques!

When Qin Ming stood up, the Unity of Heavenly Light Force flowed out from within him, undergoing a clear qualitative change, much stronger than before!

This Heavenly Light Force was dazzling, bathing him as if he were submerged in Outer Heaven Light, draped in a sacred armor, like a young deity emerging from a radiant sun, exuding an extraordinary air with every move, and a strong aura.

"It’s time to set off!" Qin Ming moved, holding the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade, walking alone across the Shenshang Plain.
