Chapter 1541: Chapter 1541 Primordial Devil Cult

Primordial Devil Cult?

What’s that supposed to be?

Qin Jun’s expression turned strange as he turned to look. He saw a terrifying figure, five zhang tall, standing atop a mountain several thousand meters away. The figure was bare-chested, with skin the color of green ink, wearing tattered pants made from animal pelts. He had two protruding fangs in his mouth, his long hair tied into small braids stained with fresh blood, and his presence exuded the ferocity of a primordial beast.

Under the darkness, wrapped in thick fog, his figure was spine-chilling and made one’s scalp tingle.

The fox-tailed male demon smashed against the mountain wall by the bronze warhammer bulged his eyes in terror and screamed, "Impossible... Why would a creature of the Primordial Devil Cult appear here?"

Ran Min, who had narrowly escaped, landed dozens of meters away and turned around vigilantly, keeping his gaze fixed on the devil disciple in the distance.

"Scared now, aren’t you?"

The ferocious devil disciple grinned, his eyes glowing scarlet through the thick fog, radiating deadly intent.

With a thunderous sound, he leapt high into the air, landing swiftly between Ran Min and the fox-tailed male demon, standing proudly. With just a gesture of his right hand, the bronze warhammer pressing down on the fox-tailed demon flew back into his grasp.

"Complete Holy Realm."

Qin Jun muttered while staring at the devil disciple. Upon hearing this, Nvwa’s heart surged with unease, though she didn’t panic.

Earlier, beasts at the Holy Realm had been effortlessly destroyed by Qin Jun. Estimating the devil disciple’s fighting strength in the complete Holy Realm, it seemed unlikely he could fend off Qin Jun either.

"Who should I devour first..."

The ferocious devil disciple scanned Fox-tailed Demon, Ran Min, Qin Jun, and Nvwa, as though picking his next meal.

Suddenly, his gaze locked onto Qin Jun and he said, "You, with your tender skin, I’ll eat you first!"

Hoo—

At that moment, a firelight descended from the heavens, like a straight line of blazing fire, fast as the first ray of light at the dawn of Chaos. It lit up the night sky and hammered into the ferocious devil disciple, instantly crushing him and blasting the entire mountaintop apart. The fox-tailed demon and Ran Min were sent flying alongside the explosion.

"Heavenly Fire... Impossible..."

His eyes wide, the fox-tailed demon wore an expression as though he had seen a ghost.

Heavenly Fire, a natural calamity found on the Road of Ten Thousand Slaughters, rarely descended but carried immense destructive power. If someone were unfortunate enough to take a direct hit, even mighty beings in the Holy Realm might be reduced to ashes.

Ran Min tumbled across the ground dozens of times before stabilizing himself. Looking upward, his eyes were filled with fear. At the moment Heavenly Fire descended, he felt a bone-chilling dread, almost certain he was going to perish.

Qin Jun let out a cold chuckle, raised his right hand toward the devil disciple, and the Flame Dao transformed into a fiery dragon that roared out of his palm, thoroughly obliterating the ferocious devil disciple, who had not yet completely died.

The fox-tailed demon was utterly dumbfounded, unable to believe what he was witnessing.

The Qin Jun he had looked down upon as an insect earlier turned out to be so overwhelmingly powerful?

Petrified, he scrambled to his feet, preparing to flee.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Qin Jun’s voice echoed beside his ear. When he looked up, he nearly died of fright as Qin Jun was already standing before him, staring at him coldly and expressionlessly.

"You..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Jun stomped his face with a single foot. Blood splattered everywhere as he was kicked towards Ran Min, landing before him.

That one kick shattered every holy bone in the fox-tailed demon’s body, reducing him to a bloody pulp lying lifelessly on the ground.

Ran Min jumped in shock, his wide eyes darting between the fox-tailed demon and Qin Jun.

He wasn’t a fool; he quickly understood Qin Jun’s intent, raised his right fist, and slammed it down onto the fox-tailed demon. The punch carried all his strength, ensuring its fatality.

Nvwa, meanwhile, stared at Qin Jun, her mind swirling with guesses about his true strength.

A mighty figure at the complete stage of the Holy Realm was effortlessly annihilated before him—how powerful was Qin Jun truly?

"Let’s go!"

Watching Ran Min finish off the fox-tailed demon, Qin Jun said calmly.

The outermost layer alone was vast beyond belief. The Road of Ten Thousand Slaughters had ten thousand layers... How long would it take to reach the bottom?

Fortunately, the Great Qin Heavenly Court now had three Primordial Great Detachment experts, which alleviated his worries. Thus, his mood was relatively light.

The three continued onward. Every time they encountered living creatures whose power wasn’t overwhelmingly superior, they would be directly attacked without negotiation, ferociously and mercilessly. In the end, all of them perished to Qin Jun and his companions.

In merely two hours, over five hundred beings were slain by them.

Amongst them, one hundred had cultivation at the Holy Realm.

So far, they had yet to encounter a Heavenly Dao Supreme Saint.

It seemed that beings at the Manifesting Saint and Entering the Sage levels predominated in the outermost layer, while those in the Holy Realm could roam deeper within.

As for why so many Holy Realm beings lingered here, it was likely due to the battle for seizing power and resources.

"What a thrill!"

Ran Min grinned, carrying an iron spear stained with fresh blood from enemies’ remains.

That spear was a Chaos spirit artifact Qin Jun exchanged for him, incredibly heavy, named the Underworld Martial Iron Spear.

"Treasure it well. This is just the outermost layer. Entering deeper layers will be an uphill battle for you two," Qin Jun remarked lazily as he walked ahead.

Ren Wo Xiao wouldn’t have thrown him into a place he could easily pass through. If saints were appearing in the first thousand layers, what horror awaited at the deepest layers?

Qin Jun couldn’t fathom it. Moreover, the task rewards included Primordial Crossing Tribulation, suggesting the mission was far from simple.

Primordial Crossing Tribulation was a functionality triggered during the system’s last upgrade, yet it hadn’t been explained. Naturally, Qin Jun was intrigued by it.

Approximately five hours passed.

The three traversed over mountain peaks and came to a halt. Gazing ahead, Ran Min marvelled, "How spectacular!"

Behind them lay endless mountain ranges, while before them stretched a vast, boundless grassland. Under the night sky, countless creatures from various races inhabited the plain. From their vantage point on the peak, they were densely packed, impossible to count—easily numbering over a million.

Qin Jun and Nvwa also surveyed the field ahead, their eyes drawn toward three towering giants at the grassland’s edge.

The giants reached heights of ten thousand zhang, humanlike in form but gargantuan and imposing like mountains. Each wielded colossal spiked maces, and rivers of gore lay beneath their feet—a sight utterly gruesome.

"Come, kill us, and you’ll gain access to the next layer!"

The giant in the center raised his mace and roared. Mist swirled around him as though he were a divine creator, radiating an aura that terrified all.

The million creatures were tense beyond measure. Most bore wounds, evidence of the brutal battles they endured to arrive here.

"What should we do? These three giants are too strong!"

"Their cultivation is at least late-stage Holy Realm. Is the outermost layer truly this terrifying?"

"Of course! The Road of Ten Thousand Slaughters is no Elysium Sacred Land!"

"Let’s charge together!"

"If we fight solo, nobody will pass!"

The creatures encouraged one another, setting aside grudges born of bloodshed. Despite mutual animosity, countless battles had led to this convergence—they couldn’t let the opportunity slip away.

Soon, a mid-stage Holy Realm man roared and led the charge, followed by the other creatures—like tidal waves—towards the giants.

Battle erupted!

"Let’s descend as well!"

Qin Jun declared, then began walking calmly downhill, his eyes sharp and brimming with killing intent.

Ran Min and Nvwa followed behind, visibly tense, for the overwhelming aura of the three giants instilled in them a sense of invincible dread.
