Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: The Phoenix Zither and the Xuanxu Knife

"How many Divine Powers does this guy have?"

The mad child cursed angrily, shivering at the memory of having previously eaten the flesh of the Chaos Demon Fetus.

Could there be poison in that thing?

The others who were entering the realm of the sage were also extremely nervous, always on guard for the Chaos Demon Fetus to teleport close, its strength was very formidable; although not as much as the mad child, it was still too much for them to cope with.

Fairy Nansu wielded a long sword in her hand that resembled white bones, its blade slicing through the air to unleash countless sword shadows that howled forth, only to be futilely absorbed by the Chaos Demon Fetus, which stood firm and drew her mana into its body.

A whooshing sound followed as An Ruming plunged his four black blades one after another into the back of the Chaos Demon Fetus, blood splattered.

The pain made the Chaos Demon Fetus’s black face even more ferocious; the blood vessels on its body seemed to come alive, writhing about.

"You... I’m going to eat you all... Aaaaaah!"

The Chaos Demon Fetus tilted its head back and let out a long howl, the sound so sharp that it pierced through eardrums, making one’s soul tremble.

The wild demonic aura burst forth from its body, sweeping through the entire Immortal City and forcing those entering the realm of the sage, including the mad child, to retreat.

The ruins below were scattered by the demonic aura, and even from outside the city, one could see the colossal pillars of demonic aura connecting heaven and earth.

Zhao Gongming floated in the air, looking with great interest at the demonic aura surging to the sky.

"This thing is indeed very strong, if it grows up, it will be formidable," Zhao Gongming murmured to himself, confident that he could defeat the Chaos Demon Fetus despite its extensive Divine Powers.

The might of the Sea-Calming Pearl was not something those entering the realm of the sage could withstand.

Even in the early stages of the Manifesting Saint realm, Zhao Gongming was confident he could fight.

No matter how strong the Chaos Demon Fetus was, it had not yet broken through to Manifesting Saint.

Elsewhere, Qin Jun took out a dark green long knife from his storage ring, the very Xuanxu Knife of the Great Venerable from the Xuanxu Sect.

Its surface was inlaid with dozens of thumb-sized black gems, exuding a chilly murderous aura along its blade, as if countless aggrieved spirits were howling.

"Qiang Liang, I present this Xuanxu Knife to you!"

Qin Jun said with a smile, tossing the knife to Qiang Liang as he spoke.

The Xuanxu Knife was an Innate Supreme Treasure that Qin Jun had acquired at the Hundred Heroes Conference and had never used since.

This knife, the strongest treasure of the Xuanxu Sect, Qin Jun had always pondered who to entrust it to.

Giving it to Qiang Liang now was perfect.

The Xuanxu Knife could absorb the malevolent energy between heaven and earth, and the ancestral witches themselves were spirits of ferocity and malice; the combination of the two could not be more suitable.

Upon receiving the knife, Qiang Liang paused in surprise; the ancestral witches were not fond of using weapons, especially magical treasures. Without mana, how could they be wielded?

But the next second, he felt the endless malevolence within the Xuanxu Knife, raising his eyebrows.

"What a fine knife!"

He exclaimed earnestly, growing fonder of the Xuanxu Knife the more he looked at it.

The Great Venerable had wielded the Xuanxu Knife to slay many powerful beings from the stars, but unfortunately, it couldn’t breach the defense of the Chaos Bell.

It wasn’t that the Xuanxu Knife was weak, but the Chaos Bell was too strong.

And Donghuang Taiyi at that time had not awakened, his cultivation had not reached its peak, otherwise, he could have used the Chaos Bell to counter-kill the Twelve Venerables of Xuanxu.

Even so, with the defense of the Chaos Bell, Donghuang Taiyi was unmoved by the group attack of the Twelve Venerables of Xuanxu and left unharmed, evidencing the might of the Chaos Bell.

"You stand by my side, Bodhi, go and capture Canghua for me," Qin Jun said with a smile, knowing well that the Immortal City was not short on entering the realm of the sage powerhouses. By giving Qiang Liang the Xuanxu Knife, he was ensuring his safety all the more.

Patriarch Bodhi nodded, stepping forward leisurely, covering a hundred meters in one stride, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared around the corner of the street.

At this moment, a group of cultivators flew in from behind; among them, a young girl in green clothes stopped short at the sight of Qin Jun, remembered what Qin Jun and others had done to the mad child on that day, and her little face immediately flushed red with heat.

When they saw the mad child’s furious demeanor, she and her fellow disciples were completely dumbfounded. They had never imagined that the unkempt boy who was bullied that day was the legendary mad child.

Thinking back on their reprimand toward Qin Jun and the others, she felt ashamed and thus called out, "Hey, follow us. We’ll help you escape."

Qin Jun and Qiang Liang looked up upon hearing this, both of their expressions rather odd.

The leader was a middle-aged woman in plain robes, still elegant and graceful but with a hint of coldness in her brows. However, after hearing the green-clothed girl’s words, she couldn’t help but reprimand, "Su Xing’er, what are you doing? Don’t save strangers."

The green-clothed girl, known as Su Xing’er, frowned and said, "Auntie, there are just two of them. Let’s take them with us."

"No, although our sect has relations with the Immortal Venerable, we can’t just take people with us," the plain-robed woman chastised with an upright and stern expression.

Relations?

More like a relationship with that woman!

Qin Jun rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Get lost, I didn’t even want your help."

If Canghua Immortal Venerable wouldn’t even let Ximen Qinggang out, how would he let them? Dream on!

Upon hearing his words, Su Xing’er’s face immediately flushed red.

The plain-robed woman’s complexion turned colder, a glint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Without entangling with Qin Jun, she flicked her sleeve and said, "Let’s go!"

Having said that, she flew toward the city wall, with her fellow disciples closely following behind. Su Xing’er glanced at Qin Jun once more before finally gritting her teeth and leaving.

She only felt a smidgen of shame for Qin Jun, but they had no connection.

It wasn’t worth offending her sect for Qin Jun’s sake.

Watching their departing figures, Qin Jun shook his head and smiled, "Such a naive young girl."

Qiang Liang nodded slightly. Su Xing’er’s goodwill showed her innocence, which was fatal in the Starry Skies.

Meanwhile, outside the Purple Extreme Taihua Formation.

The Canghua Immortal Venerable, looking at the Chaos Demon Fetus growing stronger in battle, had his excitement intensifying, even curving his lips into a smile.

"Perfect... just as perfect as I imagined..."

The Canghua Immortal Venerable murmured. How powerful would one be with over a thousand innate Divine Powers?

Divine Powers could be learned, but innate Divine Powers are often linked to one’s bloodline, and those not of the same lineage could not learn the same innate Divine Powers.

A Chaos Demon Fetus with over a thousand innate Divine Powers would definitely be superior among all creatures under heaven. Who among its peers could rival it?

Just then, he noticed an old Taoist approaching him, none other than Patriarch Bodhi.

Patriarch Bodhi walked through the void with an indifferent expression, and said softly to the beings in front of the purple curtain, "Make way."

The beings hesitated. Even though they couldn’t break the formation, they naturally didn’t want to leave as it was the farthest point from the Chaos Demon Fetus.

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and then went straight toward the Canghua Immortal Venerable.

"Another who overestimates himself," Canghua Immortal Venerable sneered, although he couldn’t see through Patriarch Bodhi’s cultivation. In his opinion, Patriarch Bodhi was probably hiding his cultivation with a secret technique.

In this era, Manifesting Saints rarely appeared; it was mostly the Immortal Venerables of various immortal realms.

He would never have guessed that Patriarch Bodhi was a Manifesting Saint, and moreover, at the late stage of Manifesting Saint.

The Canghua Immortal Venerable had lived countless years and had never seen a late-stage Manifesting Saint.

His power and vision limited his imagination.

His Heavenly Fetus plan was perfect, but alas, Qin Jun was the unforeseen variable.

Patriarch Bodhi soon reached the purple curtain, raising his left hand to press against it. This scene seemed ridiculous to the Canghua Immortal Venerable, who couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
