Chapter 451: Chapter 451 - Dongfang Ji, Lil’ Devil Monarch (Third Update)

Thump!

Qin Jun felt as if he had just smacked his bottom onto something resembling a swamp, surrounded by pitch darkness, unable to even see his own fingers.

With a lift of his left hand, the Samadhi Real Fire instantly burst forth, illuminating the surroundings. Beneath his feet lay a stinking green liquid, and the area was littered with carcasses, most of which were the white bones of beasts. Not far away, Xuan Qing had also swiftly stood up.

The two locked eyes, frowning in unison.

Xuan Qing was extremely nervous, fearing that Qin Jun would attack again. The previous clash had let him know that if the fight continued, it wouldn’t end well for him.

"Let’s call a truce for now and think of a way to get out," Qin Jun said with a smile that seemed enchanting, his brow’s purple flame and purple pupils lending him a demonic charm that made it hard for others to trust him.

"Do you swear?" Xuan Qing asked, on guard.

Qin Jun instantly stimulated the energy refining secret glyph, eavesdropping on his inner thoughts, only to hear this fellow thinking, "I need to find an opportunity to ambush him!"

Dammit!

The monk sure has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!

Qin Jun’s eyes turned slightly cold, and then he asked, "Do you know what kind of beast this is?"

According to his Divine Consciousness, they were inside the stomach of a massive beast, yet his Divine Consciousness couldn’t extend to the outside world.

"I’m not sure, this is my first time participating in the Heavenly Convention," Xuan Qing replied with a bitter smile, currently devoid of any other thoughts.

To safeguard against the monk betraying him, Qin Jun planned to keep using the energy refining secret glyph on him to keep tabs on his thoughts at all times.

It must be said, the energy refining secret glyphs were truly pleasurable; within his rank, he could listen in on anyone’s thoughts as long as they were thinking.

Truly a supreme Divine Power worthy of forming a great Dao on its own!

"In that case, how about we join forces and break out?" Qin Jun pondered aloud. Staying in here was far from pleasant, and if this giant beast took them back to its den, escape would be even more difficult.

He feared that the giant beast was of a community-living species.

"Deal!"

Xuan Qing agreed succinctly. Together, they directed their magical powers at one spot, unleashing two streams of golden power that blasted against a patch of the flesh wall. In an instant, the entire gastric tract vibrated, and they thought they could even hear a roar in the distance.

Unfortunately, no matter how much power they expended, they just couldn’t break through the flesh wall.

After the time it would take an incense stick to burn, Xuan Qing ceased his efforts, sighing helplessly, "It’s no use, our magical power isn’t strong enough."

Qin Jun followed suit in stopping. He wanted to use the Samadhi Real Fire, but that was a life-saving skill not to be used lightly.

"Then let’s fly up along the esophagus, and when it opens its mouth, we can fly out!" Qin Jun suggested with a smile.

Xuan Qing nodded, and they took to the air. They had only flown up a few dozen meters when their magical powers were suddenly severed, and without their powers, they fell back down instantly.

"What’s going on?"

Qin Jun’s eyes widened. Could there be a magical formation inside this creature’s stomach?

Xuan Qing was equally shocked, but fortunately, his physical body was strong enough to withstand the fall without injury, and so was Qin Jun.

If energy refining cultivators couldn’t fly without magical or spiritual power.

After landing, Qin Jun stroked his chin, deep in thought. He wasn’t worried about how to get out, but whether or not he should seize the opportunity to take care of Xuan Qing now.

After all, Xuan Qing couldn’t help him anymore and was a completely dispensable presence.

Feeling Qin Jun’s gaze, Xuan Qing instinctively stepped back, saying with a stern voice, "Please do not act rashly! At the Heavenly Convention, there’s a congregation of geniuses, including the likes of Dongfang Ji and Lil’ Devil Monarch, whose participation this time might make a friend far more valuable than an extra enemy at an early stage!"

Different from the Southern Domain, the Western Regions had a vast increase in informational resources in a short period of time due to Tathāgata’s emergence, enabling many Western geniuses to venture into other domains. Thus, he had heard of many notable geniuses.

For instance, Dongfang Ji and Lil’ Devil Monarch were said to have broken through to the Immortal Realm before the age of a hundred, formidable to an extent.

Though confident, Xuan Qing dared not be conceited within the Heavenly Convention.

"Dongfang Ji and Lil’ Devil Monarch?" Qin Jun asked with confusion, realizing that not every domain was as informationally isolated as the Southern Domain.

"Dongfang Ji hails from the powerful Eastern Flame Domain, and Lil’ Devil Monarch from the Black Demon Domain, both are powerhouses in the Immortal Realm," Xuan Qing nodded, inwardly relieved, truly afraid that Qin Jun might act impulsively.

Immortal Realm!

Qin Jun’s eyes bulged. He had thought that the Heavenly Convention’s peak would be the Earth Immortal Realm, without expecting that geniuses from other domains had already broken through to the Immortal Realm. Indeed, there are skies beyond skies, people beyond people. No wonder the Southern Domain had always been at the bottom in the Heavenly Convention.

It seemed he had underestimated the Heavenly Convention.

Qin Jun touched his chin, thinking that if this was the case, perhaps he should avoid creating too much slaughter in the early stages. The stronger the genius, the more likely they are to attract a mob attack. It’s better to let Dongfang Ji and Lil’ Devil Monarch stir up trouble for a while.

With that thought, Qin Jun decided to spare Xuan Qing for now.

Besides fighting for qi movement at the Heavenly Convention, one should not miss out on heavenly materials, treasures, and qi movement treasures!

"With that said, you’re on your own. Remember, you owe me your life!" Qin Jun said to Xuan Qing with a smile, and then he transformed into a butterfly and flew upward.

He was, after all, a master of the 36 Heavenly Transformations!

"This..."

Xuan Qing was dumbfounded, witnessing such a Divine Power for the first time. Most transformation techniques were mere deceptions, none like Qin Jun’s butterfly transformation that allowed him to fly away. As Qin Jun’s Samadhi Real Fire extinguished, the gastric tract once again plunged into darkness.

Qin Jun, who was striving to fly upward, soon saw golden light coming from below. As long as they didn’t fly up dozens of meters, their magical powers would not be cut off.

As to whether staying long would lead to trouble, Qin Jun knew very well there certainly would be; otherwise, why would there be so many bones below?

After flying about two or three hundred meters up, he still couldn’t reach the top, so Qin Jun simply opened his mouth and emitted the Samadhi Real Fire, burning it against the flesh wall. Instantly, a furious roar of a beast resounded.

...

Mountains surrounded on all sides, with a lake at the center.

At that moment, a fierce battle was taking place above the lake, as dozens of people attacked a heroic man in yellow clothes. Prominently among those dozens was the figure of Qi Xie.

"Damn it! Why is the gap so big..."

As Qi Xie was unleashing spells against the man in yellow, he thought with complicated emotions.

The other temporary allies came from different domains. Qi Xie had been passing by when he encountered these people attacking the man in yellow. Persuaded by them, Qi Xie joined the fight, not just him, but gradually, a dozen more people were drawn in as well.

However, the more the man in yellow fought, the stronger he seemed, even slaying four participants, making Qi Xie and the others feel powerless.

"No, I’m drawing back!" one participant shouted loudly and then turned to flee.

"How dare you! If I catch you, I’ll make your life a living hell!" the handsome young leader yelled angrily. Half of the group looked to him for direction, which clearly indicated they all came from the same domain.

With a leader like that, the rest of those who were persuaded to join the battle also began to withdraw one after another.

Qi Xie was undecided; he feared offending the handsome young man’s power, but he also didn’t want to die in vain.

Roar—

Just then, a beast’s roar thundered through the sky, and the mountains behind them suddenly exploded.
