Chapter 931 Elder Kuimu

In the desolate realm.

When Frost Shadow of the Soul Clan was brought to this realm, he was deeply shocked when he saw the towering black vine.

She also saw countless natives making pilgrimages and worshipping this tree that resembled a world tree.

Even she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, as if she were facing a miracle.

She had seen many strange and wondrous things in the Realm of All Spirits, but compared to what she was seeing now, they were nothing.

Especially when Shuangying saw those natives addressing the Devouring Sky Rat as a celestial child and divine messenger, she was half-believing and half-doubting, but couldn't help but believe its nonsense.
After bringing her to the territory of the Barbarian Bone Clan, the Devouring Rat handed her over to Chief Uliman and instructed him to treat her well.

"Miss Shuangying, you'll stay here for a while to recuperate. I'm the one who calls the shots in this realm. If you need anything, just tell Chief Wuliman. After I've finished my business, I'll take you to find your Mahayana-stage grandmother."

Having witnessed how the natives of the Desolate Realm treated the Devouring Sky Rat with the utmost reverence, Shuangying immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Senior, please rest assured, I will definitely cultivate diligently here."

After settling Frost Shadow, the Devouring Rat left the Desolate Realm with great satisfaction.

Then, upon entering the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, he volunteered to Qin Ming, saying, "Master, Shuangying has already been settled in the Desolate Realm. If we can find her remaining Soul Clan members, we might be able to gain a large number of believers in the Desolate Realm to provide incense and faith. Hehehe!"

Qin Ming nodded and handed over control of the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle to it. "Hmm, you've been performing well lately, truly grasping the essence of my methods."

Next.

The master and servant piloted the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, traversing the territory of the Demon Realm.

Qin Ming mentally contacted his demonic infant spirit and asked it to come and join him.

To his surprise, something unexpected happened on the demonic infant's primordial spirit side, forcing him to stop.

……

……

the other side.

The Demon Clan resides in a remote city located at the border of the Heavenly Ridge Mountains and the human and demon races.

Qin Ming's demonic infant spirit originally intended to reunite with his main body, but the nameless town where he was located had been rife with undercurrents and many events in recent days, forcing him to slow down his progress.

He had transformed into a burly demon with a bushy beard, two horns on his head, and dark red, rocky skin that looked extremely rough.

In recent years, things that he hadn't anticipated have also happened in this area.

First, there were high-level cultivators from the human race who, following the bounty order, risked great danger to hunt down Lü Lu, who had defected from the human race.

Even an ancestor in the Integration Stage secretly sneaked in.

However, this allowed Qin Ming to obtain a lot of crucial information and intelligence.

Others could not see anything amiss, but under Qin Ming's powerful divine sense, he discovered that the Fire Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect, the Spirit Origin Ancestor of the Lingmiao Sect, the Chequ Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, and another mid-stage Fusion Realm expert from the Star Palace had all arrived.

What surprised him even more was that Zi Chen, the Grand Commander of the Purple-Gold Saint Armor of Tianxing City, had also disguised himself and infiltrated the Demon Clan with them, seemingly with a grand scheme in mind.

After a rough guess, Qin Ming knew that the reason why these long-silent old monsters had mobilized was that they were heading for the Soul Clan's secret treasure.

Just as Qin Ming's demonic infant spirit was about to leave the small town.

A deafening roar erupted within the Demon City, followed by a violent surge of energy in the sky, drawing the attention of all the cultivators within the city.

Qin Ming glanced in the direction of the commotion and saw a disheveled figure being chased by several cultivators all the way here.

When he saw who it was, he discovered that it was actually Lü Lu, whom he had met in the Lingmiao Sect.
The person chasing him was none other than Lingyuan Patriarch, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Lingmiao Sect.

At this moment, he was furious, and it was clear that he was extremely envious of the traitor who had been lurking within the sect.

The spiritual pressure of the Nascent Soul stage instantly enveloped the entire small town, almost crushing it.

"Hmph! You dare betray the human race, you demon prince!"

"This old ancestor has been guarding this place for years, waiting for your appearance. No matter where you flee to, I will execute you on the spot and take your soul back to light the sky lantern!"

"To honor the heroic spirits of the disciples of the three sects!"

Lu Lu's eyes revealed a look of horror. He was working for Ancestor Renshui and never expected that Ancestor Lingyuan would personally travel hundreds of millions of miles to the Demon Clan's territory to ambush him.

Not only that, but several other human leaders were also present. With his whereabouts exposed, even if he was incredibly lucky, he knew that today was definitely a matter of life and death.

Lu Lu desperately fled outwards, pursued relentlessly by the human leaders and Zi Chen Divine Lord and others.

One of their purposes on this trip was to kill the Ren Shui Ancestor and his disciple Lü Lu.

After thinking it over for a moment, Qin Ming decided not to join in the fun.

However, not long after he left the Demon City, he heard earth-shattering battle fluctuations coming from afar.

He released his divine sense and scanned the area, only to discover that it was Elder Kui Mu from the Star Palace who had already engaged in combat with Ancestor Ren Shui and the others.

Meanwhile, several other human leaders were locked in combat with the Golden Ring Elder of the Skyhorn Clan.

The clash between these powerful beings caused the heavens and earth to change color, as if it were the end of the world. Countless mountains and rivers were reduced to dust under their divine power.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Ming was originally planning to take a detour to meet up with the main body, but he saw that the two of them, the Ren Shui Ancestor and his disciple, were no match for the four hands and were instantly at a disadvantage.

"Hmph! Fellow Daoists, you are truly audacious to make a move on the territory of the Demon Clan. You should know that the two great succubi of the Demon Clan, Succubus Star and Power Demon Star, are currently within the Demon Realm. Once they arrive, let's see how you handle the situation!"

The Ren Shui Ancestor, his body brimming with blood energy, uttered harsh words to Elder Kui Mu opposite him.

As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions of the old monsters on the human side changed drastically.

They had heard of the twelve demon stars of the demon race, and knew they were no match for them.

Unexpectedly, two famous demon stars descended upon the realm, making them hesitant to act rashly.

Even Elder Kui Mu of the Star Palace looked rather grim, hesitating as he faced the master and disciple who were surrounded.

To witness such a scene.

Qin Ming's expression shifted slightly, and he casually formed a hand seal, using a secret technique to transmit his voice to his old acquaintance, the Divine Lord Zi Chen.

He also changed his voice and continued to conceal his identity.

Zi Chen Divine Lord had just separated from Lü Lu after a fierce battle, and upon hearing the Ren Shui Ancestor's confident shout, he was waiting for Elder Kui Mu's instructions.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and a secret voice came from within. After he had processed its contents, he was greatly surprised.

Zi Chen Divine Lord hurriedly relayed the message to Elder Kui Mu.

Upon hearing this, Elder Kui Mu's brows furrowed, and he said with a somewhat strange expression, "Chen'er, is your source of information reliable? Who sent you this message?" "It's most likely true. Even if it's not, Elder Kui, you can tell this message to Ancestor Ren Shui, and we'll know the truth from his reaction." Divine Lord Zi Chen, unaware of the mysterious cultivator's identity, replied truthfully.

Elder Kui Mu immediately narrowed his eyes and sneered at Ancestor Ren Shui:

"Old man Ren Shui, you're about to die and you're still so stubborn. This place is located in the Tianji Mountains, and the Twelve Demon Stars have important matters to attend to in the 'Demon Dragon City' and can't leave. Even if they wanted to come here, it would take them ten days to half a month."

"I never thought you'd run out of tricks and shamelessly try to scam me. Do you think we don't know anything?"

"What?? How did you know?" Ancestor Ren Shui looked astonished and puzzled.

He originally invoked the names of the two Demon Star Lords, hoping to deter the pursuers. However, he never expected that the other party would possess such detailed information, even more so than he did, which caught the Ren Shui Ancestor off guard.

"Impossible! How could you possibly know the movements of the Demon Clan? You even know the details of the two Demon Stars? Could it be that you've fallen for the Human Clan's counter-espionage plot?" Elder Jin Huan of the Tianjiao Clan single-handedly fought against the three patriarchs of the three major sects without being at a disadvantage, and even seemed to have some strength left over.

But when he heard Elder Kui Mu's words, he finally lost his composure.

After all, knowing the location of the twelve demon stars and what they were supposed to do was no small matter.

This indicates that there must be human spies lurking within the demon race.
If the two Demon Star Lords find out about this, how could they possibly escape unscathed?
Upon realizing this, Ancestor Renshui and Elder Jinhuan exchanged a glance, both breaking out in a cold sweat.

"What a magnificent human star palace! Truly a grand undertaking!"

Elder Kui Mu probed and discovered that this top-secret message was actually true, and he was actually more shocked than the two old demons opposite him.

But now is not the time to find out the source of the information.

"You two old bastards have committed unforgivable sins against our human race. Today, I will punish you."

"Tree Realm. Open!"

Elder Kui Mu of the Star Palace had sharp eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a jet-black treasure tree.

Originally only an inch in size, under Elder Kui Mu's control, the tree grew from small to several thousand feet in size. Its branches were bare, but covered with star-blue patterns, making the entire precious tree shine.
It was like a precious tree covered with stars, growing wildly from the void.

The sacred tree reaches the sky, its canopy providing ample shade.

Swish swish!
Those dark branches, like countless dragons soaring through the sky, intertwined and swept towards the three Ren Shui ancestors.

As a result, the environment that was originally filled with demonic energy suddenly transformed into an incredibly rich source of wood-attribute spiritual energy within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
"It's actually the 'Abyss Star Divine Tree'... Old Monster Kui Mu... you..."

Upon seeing this, the old ancestor of Renshui changed color instantly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He noticed that the magical power within his body had suddenly become extremely sluggish, as if it were being imprisoned by this environment.

Lu Lu, his face filled with horror, plummeted from the sky. The ebony branches couldn't even touch him before he collapsed.

The remaining magical power in his body was instantly drained!
Elder Kui Mu held up the sky with one hand, and the Thousand-Foot Abyss Star Divine Tree continued to spread out behind him, supporting the firmament!

He looked at the Golden Ring Elder of the Skyhorn Clan opposite him and said in an extremely domineering tone:
"The Golden Ring Elder of the Skyhorn Clan, is that right?"

"I've heard that not only did our sect's disciples die tragically at your hands, but Zen Master Shenyin also perished at your hands. Today, let me see just how capable you are."

"Your Excellency, please also experience my 'All Trees Pay Homage to the Source' technique."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless ebony branches sprouted from beneath his feet, sweeping and entangling him wildly.

Once this supernatural power is unleashed, it is as if a tree world is formed in an instant.

Such domineering supernatural power left Qin Ming in awe.

Although he was far away, he could still feel the power of that fusion-level grand technique.

'This is practically an enlarged version of my Thorns Technique, instantly creating a tree world imbued with a trace of the power of the Wood Law. This elder of the Star Palace truly lives up to his reputation for formidable skills.'

Qin Ming silently commented to himself.

And the other side.

Even the usually arrogant Elder Jin Huan showed a rare look of fear, clearly indicating that Elder Kui Mu's powerful technique had made him sense a dangerous aura.

A set of silver horn armor instantly appeared on Elder Jin Huan's body, completely covering him and arming him to the teeth.

"A complete set of seventh-tier defensive Dao-Merging Treasures, and it has to be from the Celestial Horn Clan!" Qin Ming was dumbfounded when he saw this.

Rumor has it that the Celestial Horn Clan is a super-powerful clan in the Spirit Realm, incredibly rich in resources. Qin Ming, upon seeing them today, realized they were practically rolling in wealth.
boom!
But the next moment, countless branches of the Abyss Star Divine Tree, like countless dragons, bombarded Elder Jin Huan.

Most of the branches were blocked by that amazing seventh-tier defensive set, but one branch still broke through the defense and pierced through Elder Jin Huan's abdomen with a "whoosh".

Elder Jin Huan of the Tianjiao Clan seemed to have never expected that, despite the strength of his race's physical body, the layers of protective spiritual light, and the enhancement of this top-tier treasure, his defenses would still be breached.

In his shock, he quickly used his supernatural power to sever the ebony branch that was continuing to grow wildly inside his body.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Huan, you must not try to withstand this technique."

"This tree is one of the ancient divine trees passed down through the three holy lands of the human race. It is the famous Yuanxing Divine Tree, capable of breaking all laws in the world. This old ghost Kuimu has clearly comprehended a trace of the power of the wood element law. It is not advisable for the two of us to get entangled. It would be best to retreat quickly."

The Old Ancestor Renshui was furious, clearly recognizing some of the secrets of Elder Kuimu's supernatural powers.

He no longer intended to entangle with them, and immediately waved his hand, causing a large cloud of blood to surge forth from beneath his sleeve.

Countless wronged souls wailed and lamented endlessly.

Immediately afterwards, a vast cloud of blood condensed behind him into a pair of enormous crimson bat wings, within which dark power surged.

Qin Ming's demonic infant could immediately sense from the shadows that this was an extremely powerful escape technique.

"Blood Sacrifice Technique! You, Old Demon Renshui, actually dare to cultivate such a technique!" Elder Kuimu, seeing this, did not chase after them, but said with a deep gaze.

Clearly, this demonic escape technique was so fast that even he couldn't catch up with it and could only look on in awe.

"Master." Lu Lu, who had fallen to the ground, got up in a disheveled state. Seeing what the Ancestor Ren Shui was doing, he knew that the Ancestor was going to abandon him and escape on his own.
The Old Ancestor Renshui seemed to have noticed Lu Lu's gaze, but he was in danger and didn't even glance at him. He transformed into a streak of crimson light, broke through the barrier of the tree-covered sky, and fled far away.

"My dear disciple, I'm so sorry."

"Even I, your teacher, am like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river; I can barely save myself."

But in a flash.

A bitter smile appeared on Lü Luzhi's pale face as he sent a final telepathic message to his master:
"That's a pity. The item my master entrusted to me to find, I had already found, but now it seems... hehe."

He wasn't too upset about being abandoned, clearly having expected this day to come.

Upon receiving these words, the Old Ancestor of Ren Water was so enraged that he nearly vomited blood, and he cursed loudly:

"You traitor, why didn't you hand it over sooner?"

But he dared not linger any longer and spread his enormous blood wings, fleeing into the distance.
