Boom! As the last flagpole was inserted into the ground, the earth seemed to tremble slightly. Zhou Qing, Xuan Yuan Fawang, and Wen Lanxin floated in mid-air, looking down at the dark land below them in the hazy night sky, all having an extremely strange feeling, as if what was under their feet wasn't the earth, but a gigantic beast that devoured humans.
However, these three people are outstanding figures. One is a thousand-year-old demon, one is the magic of magic, and Zhou Qing's skills and prestige can't compare to the two, but in terms of cunning and variability, he surpasses many. He can naturally suppress various negative emotions in his heart. Zhou Qing suddenly shook his body and split out an identical self, which was the second yuan god. Wen Lan Xin's voice was filled with surprise: "Second yuan god? I didn't expect that there are still people who have cultivated this thing now! No wonder I said how you could cultivate to the Huashen period at such a young age! It turns out that it's this thing that's causing trouble!"
Zhou Qing waved his hand and the Extreme Light Shield covered his body, shouting from a distance: "I still need the help of two seniors, lend me a helping hand, I alone can't push the power of the God Slaughter Array!" Dealing with these two demon heads made Zhou Qing very uneasy, fortunately his second yuan god was equivalent to a second self, all his spells and arrays could be deployed, so he had to get his main body out of there, lest the two demons stab him in the back, that would be certain death. Seeing Zhou Qing being so cautious, even Wen Lanxin and Xuan Yuan Fa Wang didn't have any intention of harming him, they secretly praised Zhou Qing's meticulous thinking. The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and each extended a hand to press on Zhou Qing's second yuan god from afar.
Vast and majestic, like a clear sky with proud sunshine, the endless Yangtze River, two boundless true yuan energies surged into Zhou Qing's second yuan divine body. A strand of Zhou Qing's divine thought only felt the expansion of his second yuan divine body, about to burst. With a loud crackling sound, Zhou Qing's second yuan divine body suddenly expanded to over ten feet tall, his body's muscles bulging like steel, emitting a soft golden light. Two three-meter-long wings stretched out from his back, flapping them sent out waves of scorching hot air flows, the air seeming to twist and distort. Gradually, two more muscle lumps rose on his back.
Ah! With a sound like a chick breaking out of its shell, the two muscles on his body burst open, and another pair of golden wings emerged, slightly smaller than the original pair. The four wings fluttered together, causing the temperature around him to increase by more than double. Space became increasingly distorted, and the light was even blurred by the high heat. Zhou Qing felt that this image of himself was a bit like an angel from Western mythology, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. "I don't want to be that bird-like creature with long wings! But since this is my yuan Shen (primordial spirit) and not my physical body, it's still okay. The more powerful the better!" Zhou Qing took advantage of Wen Lanxin and Xuan Yuan Fa Wang's true yuan (inner energy), using their power for his own gain to help his yuan Shen, Jin Can (Golden Silkworm), forcibly break through to four wings. Seeing such a powerful display, Zhou Qing felt quite pleased with himself. "If I don't take advantage of this opportunity, who will?" Zhou Qing was deeply grateful to the two men in his heart. Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lanxin knew that Zhou Qing had used their true yuan for his own benefit, but they couldn't do anything about it. Who made them unable to activate the Heaven-Defying Great Array?
I feel the vast true yuan in my body, Zhou Qing took a long breath, his wings stopped flapping, and the heat flow disappeared. "Magic mixed three worlds! Xian Buddha retreats, all heavenly gods are killed, all living things are killed!" With a rub of his hands, a blood ball the size of a fight appeared in the air, the blood ball kept stirring, as if brewing an extraordinary fierce fetus, violent, killing, ferocious, strange and eerie aura shrouded the space within thirty miles, all living things felt this aura and became quiet. As if great disaster is about to befall, doomsday is coming.
A deathly silence! "Rise!" Zhou Qing shouted again, and with a loud crash, the blood orb exploded, sending countless bloody raindrops flying everywhere. Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin both stopped transmitting their true yuan and hastily built an invisible force field around themselves to avoid getting splashed by the blood rain. This was a bit of the unparalleled magical power from the Blood God Sword, which had absorbed the heavenly and earthly yuan energy to form the Six Paths Demon Blood. Even with their combined strength, they could barely withstand it, and those with slightly weaker powers would likely be directly dragged into the Six Paths Reincarnation. Zhou Qing's powers had surged, and he could now somewhat control a bit of the Blood God Sword's mysterious uses.
Blood rain in the air absorbed the heaven and earth's yuanqi, and it grew more and more, finally pouring down on the ground within a radius of thirty miles. Zhou Qing's hands changed rapidly as he performed his hand seals, while Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin stared intently at the ground below, their eyes fixed on its movements. Suddenly, the ground shook lightly again, and twelve blood-red pillars, each as thick as a water bucket and of unknown length, burst forth from the earth, as if piercing through the connection between heaven and earth. The twelve blood pillars slowly rotated along a strange trajectory, and Zhou Qing shouted: "Quickly investigate the location of the seal! I won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
Wen Lanxin fell silent, his hand waved, and a black long banner appeared out of thin air. The banner had countless ox demons and snake spirits on it, with ferocious faces faintly visible, and the sound of wailing ghosts occasionally came from it. Wen Lanxin grasped the banner pole, and with a wave, a gust of dark wind arose, releasing the ox demons and snake spirits from their restraints, causing them to fly towards the ground. Xuan Yuan Fa Wang looked at Wen Lanxin with admiration, his body bursting with energy, his eyes flashing with blood light, as he used the Heaven's Sight and Earth's Hearing Great Technique to search every inch of the surrounding thirty-mile radius. It seemed that Xuan Yuan Fa Wang was slightly stronger.
Zhou Qing's face was covered in sweat, his body rippling with iron-like muscles that shook like a stormy rain. The sweat poured out of his muscles like milk from a fountain, as if all his strength had been exhausted. Zhou Qing pushed forward with both hands, and the twelve blood columns slowly rotated. Seeing Zhou Qing's strained expression, Xuan Yuan Fa Wang still had some energy left, and with a wave of his hand, another surge of true yuan poured into Zhou Qing's body. Zhou Qing's hands suddenly thrust forward, and the blood columns accelerated slightly! Suddenly, as the blood columns sped up, a faint flash of light appeared on the ground below, and a weak ripple of extreme power fluctuation briefly emerged before disappearing without a trace. Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin were both top-notch figures in the cultivation world, surpassing even the five great masters. They used their full strength to search for any remaining discoveries, and with a speed that startled Zhou Qing, they dove down together. "Isn't this like burning the bridge after crossing?" Zhou Qing withdrew his power, and without the support of true yuan, the twelve blood columns collapsed and vanished into thin air. Zhou Qing's body shook as he recalled his spirit, and he also plunged downwards.
Three people arrived in a small valley surrounded by mountains, with only one exit. Zhou Qing said: "This is Skull Mountain, and the temple dedicated to Zhao Kuo's skull is just ahead, where many people gather. We must be careful not to cause any disturbance." Wen Lanxin let out a charming laugh, her voice filled with allure. Zhou Qing secretly activated his Eight-Nine Mystical Technique, forming an invisible seal to resist the charm of her laughter. Seeing Zhou Qing's vigilant expression, Wen Lanxin finished laughing and coldly snorted: "Don't worry, this valley is sealed by my Demon-Subduing Banner. Even those powerful cultivators from back then can't enter, let alone ordinary people!" Xuan Yuan Fa Wang carefully examined the central part of the valley, a raised rock that looked completely ordinary, like a piece of granite born in the mountain body. Zhou Qing looked left and right, his divine sense scanning for any unusual phenomena, but couldn't find anything. Xuan Yuan Fa Wang observed for a moment, then pointed at the rock: "The seal is there! Let's concentrate our energy to shatter that rock!"
