Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Breaking Through the Transforming Void Realm

"What is happening?"

Liu Bowen asked in fear. Black and White Impermanence wanted to rush and pull Qin Jun out of the Extreme Flame Dark Water but were stopped by Lei Zhenzi.

"Don’t act rashly, otherwise, you’ll harm his Majesty!" Lei Zhenzi said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Sang Liang joined them, and with eyes wide and a trembling voice, he said, "It’s over... it’s all over... The legend is true, Death Valley really is the place where the demon is imprisoned..."

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense. Do you know how to save our liege?" Yuan Hong demanded, gripping his Fine Iron Rod. Even he, at the ninth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, couldn’t understand Qin Jun’s current situation.

But they could all feel the astonishing demonic aura emanating from Qin Jun!

Even the Bone Eroding Tribulation couldn’t help but widen his eyes and stare at Qin Jun in disbelief, muttering, "This demonic energy... how can it be even more evil than our sect master’s..."

Sang Liang ignored everyone’s expressions and said with a bitter smile, "Across the entire leaderless lands, among the Buddhist monks of my Western Domain, I am the only one. I also only recently heard the news that the Abyss Sect occupied Death Valley because of the legendary demon, but not long ago they retreated, only leaving behind lower-level members to guard. According to reliable information, it’s because the Abyss Sect couldn’t restrain the demon here..."

Upon hearing this, the faces of Liu Bowen and the others changed drastically.

Their confusion was instantly resolved, the Abyss Sect’s stronghold was indeed here, and the reason they left was because there was a problem here.

A demon that even the Abyss Sect couldn’t restrain...

The group shuddered involuntarily, looking towards Qin Jun subconsciously. Qin Jun’s face was fierce, his veins twisted, and combined with his eerie purplish-red skin, he looked incredibly horrifying, especially with those blood-red eyes, he looked entirely like a demon!

"So, what do we do now? We can’t just stand by and watch, can we?" Yuan Hong ground his teeth and asked, filled with annoyance. If it hadn’t been for their previous agreement to let Qin Jun enter the Extreme Flame Dark Water, how could Qin Jun have ended up in such a state?

"There’s no other way! I can’t handle this anymore!"

Sang Liang said with a bitter smile, realizing that Qin Jun was already consumed by the demonic aura and beyond saving. The evil nature of the demonic aura even scared him, and if he didn’t escape now, it would be too late!

With this thought, he turned and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing. Yuan Hong and the others didn’t even have time to intercept him.

With Sang Liang gone, the remaining cultivators looked at each other, not lowering their voices as they spoke. Both the Abyss Sect and the demon left them feeling cold.

"Run! Although holy relics are precious, isn’t life more important? That old monk just now was Sang Liang, a man who only cares for profit, and even he has fled. Are we going to stay and throw our lives away?"

A one-eyed cultivator from the Black Flame Sect called out again, always able to stir things up, yet this time it wasn’t out of kindness but out of fear, seeking escape, not wanting others to benefit.

Although the situation seemed almost like certain death, what if...

What if someone managed to take advantage and he missed out?

Soon, the cultivators all fled, even Jin Wuhui did not stay out of arrogance, and the world instantly became much quieter.

At this moment, Qin Jun didn’t feel so terrible. Although he was full of rage and bloodlust, his pain had vanished, even beginning to enjoy the surge in power.

"What the hell is going on... If this continues... I’ll soon break through the Transforming Void Realm..."

Qin Jun thought in horror. He didn’t realize his appearance had become terrifying and even felt the urge to kill Yuan Hong and the others. Thankfully, his body couldn’t move at the moment, or he might have been counterattacked.

"System, isn’t there anything you can do? What will happen to me if this goes on?"

Qin Jun asked the system within his mind, feeling panic at the thought of that mysterious force altering his bloodline.

The legend Sang Liang mentioned came to mind. Could it be that this mysterious force was the demon itself?

At this moment, aside from his vision, his other senses were beyond his control. He couldn’t even hear Liu Bowen and the others, only seeing them looking at him anxiously.

"The power is too great. If forcibly dispersed, it will cause the host to explode and die. We can only wait, whether it is a blessing or a curse cannot yet be determined," the system said hesitantly, sinking Qin Jun’s heart to the depths.

Was he really going to end here?

The indignation in Qin Jun’s heart was almost overflowing under the stimulation of that mysterious force.

If he had been killed by a powerful enemy it would have been bearable, but to be brought down by unknown forces was unbearable!

"What do we do now?" Lei Zhenzi asked Liu Bowen, his face grim, as Qin Jun’s aura made his heart tremble and his scalp numb.

"Let’s just wait, wait until the end," Yuan Hong said deeply, inhaling a breath, and the others fell silent.

After all, they had not yet reached the point of utter loyalty, and inevitably they felt some hesitation. But thinking of how well Qin Jun had treated them, if they just fled, they would feel guilty for a lifetime.

Even if Qin Jun ended up being possessed by the demon, they could still flee.

The weakest among them, Liu Bowen, didn’t think so much. He believed that Qin Jun would turn danger into safety because he had once calculated Qin Jun’s fate. Although he did not see it clearly, he knew that Qin Jun would not meet his end here.

Li Cunxiao also flew back from afar, having left his Iron Stone Spirit state, his face a little pale and with blood at the corner of his mouth, clearly affected by Sang Liang’s palm.

"What happened?" Li Cunxiao asked, also alarmed when he saw Qin Jun’s condition.

After Liu Bowen briefly explained the situation, Li Cunxiao fell silent.

The group of seven, including the Bone Eroding Tribulation, stood in silence in front of the Extreme Flame Dark Water, and the Bone Eroding Tribulation seemed to think of something, his face full of despair.

Boom!

Before long, Qin Jun’s momentum suddenly changed, and he broke through again!

From the ninth layer of the Ascending Mortal Realm, he broke through to the Transforming Void Realm!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Transforming Void Realm! The system will commence the first transformation!"

"Ding! Because the host has broken through to the Transforming Void Realm for the first time, as a reward, you receive one chance to summon the God and Demon Legion!"

Two continuous system prompts resounded in Qin Jun’s mind, making him curse under his breath, what did it mean by "the first time"? Could it be that he could break through twice?

But then he remembered that some tasks, when failed, could result in a lowered level, and he immediately lost his temper.

Were it any other time breaking through to the Transforming Void Realm, he would be ecstatic. But right now, his heart was still filled with fear.

The fear of the unknown.

"Southern Domain... Sacred Court... never perish..."

A vast voice suddenly echoed in Qin Jun’s mind, like a bombshell shaking his consciousness into chaos.

At the same time, the Extreme Flame Dark Water began to eerily rise, lifting Qin Jun’s body aloft. He quickly assumed a spherical shape and, from the front, appeared to be encased in a fireball, obscuring the details inside, only his blurry outline visible.

This only intensified the anxiety of Liu Bowen and the others.

Rumble...

The ground began to tremble, prompting them to instinctively step back, for they could feel the demonic energy emanating from Qin Jun within the Extreme Flame Dark Water, rapidly intensifying.
