Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: Evil Resentment Power

Murderous aura!

Fuxi and Zhao Gongming stayed by Qin Jun’s left and right sides, Qiang Liang in front, while Fairy Nansu and the cat demon Seven were behind Qin Jun. They vigilantly watched their surroundings.

At that moment, Qiang Liang’s face suddenly turned ferocious as he threw a punch to the right.

In an instant, a woman in white with blood flowing from all seven orifices appeared right at Qiang Liang’s right side, trying to tear him apart, but unfortunately, Qiang Liang’s movements were faster, dispersing her with a punch.

The force of the punch kicked up the ground, sending dust flying. Qin Jun and the others all used their magical power to fend off the dirt that came flying at their faces.

"What is this thing? A resentful spirit?"

Qin Jun asked doubtfully, to which Fuxi nodded and said, "It is indeed a soul, but different from ordinary spirits. The resentment is so heavy that it’s almost becoming tangible."

It was hard to imagine what kind of torment one had to suffer to spawn such a resentful spirit.

Zhao Gongming also vigilantly watched their surroundings, guarding against another sneak attack by the resentful spirits.

Fairy Nansu’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. The resentful spirit from before had given her an extremely terrifying sense of danger, and she couldn’t help feeling fortunate that she hadn’t ventured in alone.

The group continued to move forward, but their pace was much quicker than before.

After they had left, that woman in white reappeared, still looking at Qin Jun and the others with venomous resentment, her eyes continuously bleeding, overwhelmingly grim.

This time, however, she did not follow them. Her figure gradually became transparent and eventually disappeared.

Silence reigned on the journey.

The Qiuming Abyss was like a vast world of its own, only filled with desolate mountains and ridges. Along the way, there were also quite a few bleached bones that had been eroded by the elements.

About an hour into their journey, the group stopped in their tracks.

"Something’s not right, why do I feel like we’re just walking in circles?"

Qin Jun said in a heavy voice, the mountain peaks still at the horizon’s end, the sound of flowing water still ahead, but they just couldn’t reach that place.

Qiang Liang and the others had also realized something was amiss, but since they couldn’t discern the reason, they remained silent.

Suddenly, Fuxi pulled out the Phoenix Qin, the sound of the zither drifting far and wide, lighting up Fairy Nansu’s eyes.

The scene where Fuxi had viciously played the Phoenix Qin against Ximen Qinggang was still fresh in her memory. Seeing the Phoenix Qin once more, she couldn’t help but wonder if it could help them escape their peril.

Fuxi soared into the air and sat cross-legged in the void, then started to play the qin, sending blades of wind slashing out in all directions.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Explosions sounded one after another, and around a hundred meters away, the wind blades seemed to strike against something, generating wisps of smoke as they exploded.

Zhao Gongming’s face turned grim as he cursed, "There are so many enchantments?"

Fortunately, they hadn’t flown before, or they would have certainly been injured.

Qin Jun furrowed his brows, puzzled in his heart. The Qiuming Abyss had existed for so many years, even if there were countless enchantments, they should have mostly worn away by now, so why were they so densely packed?

Just then, rolling sandstorms suddenly began to billow in front of them.

The Qiuming Abyss was covered by thunderclouds, making it very dark. Amidst the flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, a sandstorm arose, creating a terrifying scene that would have rendered most people unable to see anything.

But Qin Jun and his companions were no ordinary people; they all frowned and looked towards the sandstorm ahead.

Murderous aura!

An incredibly terrifying murderous aura!

Even Qiang Liang narrowed his eyes, looking towards the sandstorm, and said slowly, "At the peak of entering the Holy Realm, half a step into Manifesting Saint."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming, Fuxi, and Fairy Nansu all had drastic changes in their expressions.

Half a step into Manifesting Saint!

Encountering such a terrifying existence right from the start, what else would they meet later?

Qin Jun asked speechlessly, "Are you sure there’s someone who has lived here for tens of thousands of years, still in the realm of entering the sage?"

Fairy Nansu was silent, unsure of how to respond; she too began to doubt the truth behind the legends.

"Qiuming Emperor... I will not kill you... never reincarnate..."

A low roaring sound, accompanied by heavy breathing, came from amidst the whirling sandstorm.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they could barely make out a figure who seemed to shimmer in and out of existence amidst the sandstorm. He appeared to be dragging something, moving slowly, but the killing aura he exuded grew stronger and stronger.

"Could it be one of the strong entities once imprisoned by the Qiuming Emperor? As mad as that child?" Qin Jun asked in a low voice.

Fairy Nansu hesitated, "It’s possible, I don’t know, I’ve never been inside."

The most dangerous place in the Ancient Immortal Starfield, who would dare to break in?

Piles of bones had built the infamous reputation of the Ancient Immortal Starfield, and no one really understood the Qiuming Abyss. The veracity of those legends couldn’t be guaranteed either.

At least Fairy Nansu had never seen any creature escape from the Qiuming Abyss with her own eyes. She was also only collecting intelligence to understand the Qiuming Abyss.

The figure was getting closer to them; gradually, Qin Jun and the others could see his face clearly.

He was a man whose age was indecipherable, thin in stature, about 1.7 meters tall, covered in scabs of blood. His upper body was wrapped in cloth strips, and a vine was wrapped around his waist over black trousers.

The most exaggerated feature was the massive sword he was dragging with his left hand – a monstrous three-zhang-long sword.

The blade was yellowish-white, resembling the fearsome fangs of some wild beast, and the hilt was entwined with dozens of rope-like tendrils. The disparity between his slim figure and the massive sword provided an extreme visual shock.

As he dragged the sword, he emitted heavy, rasping breaths, like a hungry wolf.

"What an astonishing killing aura..."

Zhao Gongming exclaimed in a low voice, aware that although he was also at the pinnacle of entering the realm of the sage realm, he felt this person was extremely dangerous, especially that exaggerated fang-like sword.

Fairy Nansu seemed to recall something, her voice laced with shock and uncertainty, "Could it be Dao Mo?"

Dao Mo?

Qin Jun looked at Fairy Nansu with surprise, waiting for her to elaborate.

"It is rumored that there is a demon inside the Qiuming Abyss who wields a sword, who has killed countless beings attempting to break into the prison. Some have even seen him eating corpses!"

Fairy Nansu spoke in a grave tone, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

Eating corpses?

Qin Jun shuddered at the thought, while Qiang Liang scoffed in disdain. Fuxi and Zhao Gongming watched the approaching figure, suspected to be Dao Mo, with vigilance.

The cat demon Seven cried out, "He is imbued with Evil Resentment Power!"

"Evil Resentment Power?"

Qin Jun’s eyes widened; in his previous life, he had heard of the Evil Resentment Power

Devouring the souls of countless wronged spirits, one could attain the Evil Resentment Power!

Only those who had gone mad and lost all reason, could possibly possess the Evil Resentment Power.

A creature with Evil Resentment Power was doomed forever, unwelcome by the netherworld, shunned by the Heavenly Dao, constantly at risk of being ensnared by heavenly thunder and karmic fires no matter where they went.

Could this person have also consumed the souls of countless wronged spirits?

Qin Jun felt a chill run down his spine; the stuff of legends was real, after all.

He suddenly grew curious about Fairy Nansu’s cat demon, which seemed far from ordinary. No wonder she kept it by her side.

Just then, Dao Mo began to move.

Lifting the fang-like sword, he started running towards Qin Jun and the others, picking up speed quickly, causing the desolate wilderness to tremble.

"Hmph!"

Zhao Gongming snorted coldly and raised his hand to rush towards Dao Mo.

Twenty-four shining lights appeared in the palm of his right hand – the Sea-Calming Pearl!

Zhao Gongming, who possessed the Sea-Calming Pearl, could even combat a Manifesting Saint; naturally, he wasn’t afraid of Dao Mo who was half a step away from becoming a Manifesting Saint.

The sandstorm rolled like a long dragon, howling and tumbling.

Two powerful figures were about to collide.

Dao Mo suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of crimson, terrifying eyes. His skin appeared charred, as if it had been scorched by fire, and he shockingly used his forehead to collide with Zhao Gongming’s Sea-Calming Pearl.
