Chapter 859 Seventh-Order Demon Core
After Qin Ming took the black wolf-tooth club, he already had a plan in mind.

The remnant of the Bull Demon's life-bound demon bone is quite compatible with this treasure.

If it can be successfully refined, it might even allow the Xuan Shui Crocodile to reach a new level of strength.

With Qin Ming's current weapon-refining skills, plus the help of the seventh-grade mid-level Primordial Poison Flame, he is more than capable of refining this treasure.

Not long after.

Qin Ming sensed that several high-level demon cultivators were flying towards the nameless island.

He immediately packed up his things and prepared to go out to meet them.

The demon cultivators from the other three major water palaces also became nervous after seeing the legendary nameless island.

"This is the place where the White Ape Ancestor and the Xuan Shui Crocodile were born."

"It doesn't look particularly special, and the spiritual vein environment isn't particularly high either?"

"Do highly accomplished people prefer to live in seclusion in places like this?"

"How could someone capable of fighting against a powerful being in the Integration Stage be so easily fathomed?"

As they spoke, the group arrived at the outer edge of the island, and then bowed respectfully towards the center.

"This junior greets Senior White Ape."

"We admire your illustrious reputation, and we have come here with various forces to submit to the Thunder Swamp Water Palace."

A few breaths after the demons finished speaking, a faint voice came from within the island: "Come in."

Then, led by the Xuan Shui Crocodile, the group met the 'mysterious white ape' in the island's cave.

The furnishings inside the cave were extremely simple, and a burly young man looked at the group with indifferent eyes.

The representatives of the three major water palaces were immediately alarmed, for they had finally met the newly crowned overlord of the Thunder Swamp Water Palace.

It is said that he is capable of fighting against a powerful being in the Integration Stage.

Upon seeing him now, the bloodline pressure emanating from him made them all feel a kind of suppression from an ancient superior.

I instinctively felt fear.
In addition, there are three other transformed demons: the arrogant Devouring Rat, the aloof Xuan Shui Crocodile, and the Blue Ice Fairy.

"Greetings, Ancestor White Ape!!"

All the demons bowed their heads in worship.

Qin Ming nodded slightly, feigning an air of mystery, and casually glanced at the demon cultivators of the three major water palaces, after the death of the three-headed, late-stage sixth-level clan leader.

Several major clans still have a few sixth-tier demon cultivators left.

They were all ancient beings who had lived for tens of thousands of years, and each of them cherished their lives immensely. They wouldn't be foolish enough to risk their lives against demonic giants like the White Ape Ancestor and the Xuan Shui Crocodile.

"Since you are willing to join us, then it is not impossible."

"However, I dislike unexpected events and need to relax my mind so I can place a restriction on you."

Upon hearing this, the demon cultivators of the three great water palaces couldn't help but change their expressions abruptly, as such conditions could be described as extremely harsh.

In this way, the lives of these demon cultivators would be completely in the hands of the other party, with no possibility of betrayal.

Seeing the demons hesitate, Qin Ming frowned and said calmly, "If you are unwilling, I will not force you."

Adhering to the principle of caution and prudence, he naturally had to do so.

After all, he is now in the ancient demon realm, so he still needs to consider things carefully.

The territories of those demon cultivators are all within the three major water palaces, making it impossible for the entire clan to migrate.

The White Ape Ancestor and the Xuan Water Crocodile are arguably in a class unmatched by the other two in the Four Great Water Mansions.

Previously, their three dead clan leaders had jointly invaded the Thunder Swamp Water Palace, and they were afraid that the white ape would settle scores afterward, so they took the initiative to surrender.

After some struggle, the demons all gritted their teeth and agreed.

Qin Ming nodded indifferently, then cast a spell to place restrictions on the leaders of the three major water mansions, so that he could easily control their lives and deaths from then on.

"You guys are at least sensible."

"From now on, all of you from the three great water palaces will be under my command and orders."

Qin Ming allowed the three demons, Xuan Shui Crocodile, Devouring Sky Rat, and Blue Ice Fairy, to directly take over the other three major water palaces.

From then on, the structure of the four major water palaces underwent a dramatic change, becoming an unbreakable whole.

Lei Ze Water Mansion rose to become the leader of the four major water mansions.

In the demon realm of Wanze Demon Kingdom, they have made quite a name for themselves.

The Devouring Rat finally got what it wanted, ruling over a body of water and becoming a king, looking incredibly majestic.

On the day it took office at the Tongming Water Palace, it stood on the high platform, draped in a bright red cloak and holding a black steel fork, amidst the clamor of the crowd, and declared with an air of authority:

"My lads, from now on you'll follow me and get ready to live a life of luxury."

Blue Ice Fairy is stationed at the Azure Wave Water Palace.

The allied forces of the demon race from the four water palaces were led by the Xuan Shui Crocodile, forming a massive "Longevity Army" with hundreds of thousands of demons.

In this way, the Thunder Water Palace has completely risen in the Myriad Ze Demon Kingdom, and its momentum is now established.

After arranging these matters, Qin Ming finally had time to check on the gains from the chaos at Bull Demon Mountain.

Within Xiaoling territory.

The towering Taiyin Demon Mountain, tens of thousands of feet high, floated silently in the void, emanating waves of chilling energy.

Qin Ming raised his hand and waved it, throwing out the wolf-like corpse of Ao Yu, the Demon General.

He casually reached out and grabbed a silver-white demon core, radiating an astonishing demonic aura, which immediately fell into his hand.

"A seventh-tier Azure Moon Sky Wolf Demon Core!"

This combined-level demon core is an extremely rare item that Qin Ming has obtained in his cultivation so far.

In terms of its value, the essence of Ao Yu Demon General's life's cultivation is all concentrated in this demon core.

Inside the egg-sized demon core, one could vaguely see the demon soul of a celestial wolf baring its fangs and roaring at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming remained expressionless, took out an exquisite jade box, sealed it, and put it away.

This level of demon core is extremely precious and can be used to refine very high-grade pills, spiritual treasures, or for other special purposes.

After all, very few people can kill a demon in the Integration Stage.

That seventh-tier wolf corpse was also a treasure trove, of immeasurable value.

Instead, Qin Ming found a high-level storage ring on Ao Yu Yao Shuai's corpse.

He spent some time removing the demonic restriction on it, but when he saw what was stored inside, he was greatly disappointed.

"I never expected that a dignified Demon General at the Fusion Stage would be so poor."

"The storage bag doesn't even have as much as I do."

Qingyang Old Demon replied indifferently, "That's natural. The cost for a Nascent Soul stage demon general to travel between the Spirit Realm and the Ancient Demon Realm once is an astronomical figure, and it's estimated that it's all spent on this."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming immediately rummaged through his storage ring for a while, gathering some information left behind by Demon General Ao Yu. After piecing it together, he found that it was indeed as the Old Demon Qingyang had said.

This Fiend returned to the ancient demon realm severely injured, having spent almost all of his accumulated wealth over the years on it.

However, Qin Ming still found more than a dozen mid-grade immortal jades, as well as many other spiritual materials and items inside.

It's better than nothing, at least.

It is still much wealthier than that of a Void Refinement cultivator.

Followed by.

After taking a small amount of essence blood from near the wolf's heart, Qin Ming cast a Thorn Spell on the wolf corpse. Countless dark vines surged out, entangling the wolf corpse on the ground and draining it dry in an instant. He then obtained a large Soul Bead of the Fusion level.

Qin Ming threw the Soul Bead to the Yanfu Immortal Vine, his natal spiritual plant, near the Immortal's Lost Field.

In an instant, the dark vines drooped down, wrapped around the soul pearl, and absorbed it all in the blink of an eye.

After absorbing the Soul Pearl of the Integration Stage, his natal spiritual plant began to grow wildly and rapidly again, significantly accelerating its growth rate.

The next major advancement seems to be just around the corner.

Furthermore, among the vines and branches, many more golden and silver fruits appeared, allowing Qin Ming to acquire another batch of entries.

This was an unexpected surprise for him.

After all, consuming an entry directly increases one's magical power.

Now that his cultivation level has fallen to the Nascent Soul stage, he would normally need to cultivate again for more than ten years before he could return to the Void Refinement stage.

After using five [Refining Void Mana] entries, Qin Ming directly restored his mana cultivation to the mid-stage of Refining Void.

He even faintly touched the barrier of the late stage of the Void Refinement realm.

After taking stock of what Ao Yu had gained.

Qin Ming turned his gaze to the Taiyin Demon Mountain. He now had three of the five True Spirit Level 5 mountains he wanted to refine.

Once this mountain is fully refined, along with the other two divine mountains, the power of this treasure, which Qin Ming originally intended only as a talisman against calamity, will undoubtedly be elevated to a new level.

After all, this treasure is considered an extremely powerful divine object on the list of the Creation Scrolls in the Spirit Realm, leaving a significant mark on the list.

However, the difficulty of refining the Taiyin Demon Mountain is far greater than that of the Thunder Magnetic God Mountain and the Yuanji God Mountain; it is a massive undertaking.

For the next few years, Qin Ming could only focus his attention on refining the Taiyin Demon Mountain.

Just do it.

Following the secret method taught by the old demon Qingyang, Qin Ming began to use his magic power to inscribe runes and restrictions on Mount Taiyin Demon.

With the Xuan Shui Crocodiles guarding the four major water palaces, the cultivation environment is extremely stable, so Qin Ming has nothing to worry about.

You can focus your attention on Mount Taiyin Demon.

……

Time flies like an arrow.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After a long and arduous process of inscription, working day and night, Qin Ming finally completed the inscription of all the runes and restrictions inside the Taiyin Demon Mountain.

Afterwards, he asked Fairy Lanbing for two drops of true spirit blood. Her ice phoenix bloodline was extremely compatible with this demonic mountain of Taiyin power, so he chose her.

The Golden-Winged Roc and True Dragon bloodline that the Xuan Shui Crocodile devoured were saved for future use.

The moment the Taiyin Demon Mountain was completed, the tens of thousands of feet tall mountain shrank countless times in the void, spun around, and fell into Qin Ming's hand, becoming the size of a palm.

This demonic mountain, imbued with the power of Yin, possesses the unique bloodline power of the Soul-Crying Rhinoceros, capable of unleashing supernatural abilities that suppress the soul.

Furthermore, the power of Yin has a natural advantage over fire-attribute spiritual treasures.

Unless it is a supreme yang spiritual object of the same level, it will be frozen instantly.

Within the Lesser Spirit Realm.

The three divine mountains exuded a heaven-reaching aura and were connected together, with the Taiyin Demon Mountain as the main one, and the Leici Divine Mountain and Yuanji Divine Mountain on its left and right.

Three illusory figures of true spirits emerged from inside the mountain, exuding overwhelming ferocity.

At this moment, the three mountains united as one, and were no weaker than a seventh-order Dao-merging treasure.

Above the sixth-tier Returning to Emptiness Treasure is the 'Harmony with the Dao Treasure,' which contains a trace of power derived from the Great Dao.

The simultaneous descent of the three divine mountains was no less powerful than a full-force attack from a cultivator at the Integration Stage, making it a formidable trump card.

Even if Ao Yu, the Demon General, were at his peak, trying to withstand the bombardment of these three divine mountains would likely result in him being severely injured, if not killed.

If all five divine mountains were gathered together to form the complete True Spirit Divine Mountain, its power would be unimaginable.

With the addition of the powerful trump card, the seventh-tier Primordial Poison Flame, Qin Ming's strength has increased dramatically. Even when facing a demon race member in the Integration Stage, he not only has the ability to protect himself.

It could even pose a certain threat.

"I never imagined that I would gain so much in just a few decades since I came to the Ancient Demon Realm."

Qin Ming reached out and implanted the True Spirit Five Extremes Mountain into his natal spiritual plant, continuing to nurture it using the Spiritual Plant Seed Treasure entry.

During this time, he also went out to the Lesser Spirit Realm to learn about the situation outside.

Under the control of his several spirit pets, the Longevity Army of the Four Great Water Palaces continues to grow stronger.

They were invincible, and their influence in the Wanze Demon Kingdom continued to rise.

It successively swallowed up several large lakes in the surrounding area.

In particular, the Xuan Shui Crocodile has once again killed several powerful demon cultivators, and his fearsome reputation has quietly spread throughout the demon realm.

Everyone knows that he is an extremely powerful figure in the Thunder Swamp Water Palace, second only to those at the seventh rank.

The Devouring Sky Rat and the Blue Ice Fairy kept a relatively low profile, mainly because Qin Ming had them assist the Xuan Water Crocodile in controlling the situation in the four water palaces.

Qin Ming also found the location of the interdimensional passage back to the spirit world among the items left behind by Demon General Ao Yu.

He originally thought that once he found the coordinates, he could use the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle and ride the Blue Ice Fairy to return to the Spirit Realm.

But Qin Ming was wrong. The distance between the Ancient Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm was much farther than he had imagined.

It's estimated that before he could even activate the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle and fly halfway there, the Immortal Jade and Spirit Stones would be exhausted.

The Blue Ice Fairy's flying distance is also limited by her cultivation level.

Therefore, the safest way is to leave through the interdimensional passage of the ancient demon realm.

The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the interface rejection one experiences, and the greater the cost required.

Within the Wanze Demon Kingdom, there exists such a cross-realm passage, through which Demon General Ao Yu returned to the Ancient Demon Realm.

However, this place is controlled by the hegemonic power of the Wanze Demon Kingdom, and ordinary demon cultivators are not qualified to use it without special permission.

at the same time.

Within the ancient demon realm, the Xuan Shui Crocodile once again led the Longevity Army of the four major water palaces, sweeping through and conquering several other surrounding water areas with unstoppable momentum.

Inside the capital of the Wanze Demon Kingdom.

Inside an ancient demon palace filled with majesty.

A group of high-ranking members of the demon race were looking at the battle report in their hands when they couldn't help but frown.

On the central throne sat a middle-aged man in white feather robes, whose aura was unfathomable, indicating he had reached the Integration Stage.

Even surpassing Ao Yu, the Demon General.

Furthermore, his face was full of majesty, and his every move exuded the aura of a superior being.

Inside the main hall, several demon cultivators were also seated, but they were all at the sixth level, which was much lower than him.

"What do you think?"

"The rapid rise of the Thunder Swamp Water Palace in such a short time is quite beyond my expectations."

"If this is allowed to continue, it could become a major hidden danger."

After much deliberation, the powerful ministers of the demon race each had their own differing opinions.

Some advocated sending troops to annihilate them, while others advocated offering amnesty and absorbing them into the demon court.
