Chapter 648 - 430: Terrifying the Demon Saints, Cultivation Exposed
"Qilin Ape Saint!"
The Old Chief let out a strange cry, wielding the holy weapon while rapidly retreating.
"Boom!"
The Void World trembled, revealing a monstrous figure standing hundreds of feet tall, covered entirely in shimmering scale armor.
Qilin Ape Saint!
This old demon hadn’t left but had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for the moment when the Old Chief and Elder Xuanqing’s battle reached a conclusion to ambush them.
His body towered taller than mountains, with bulging muscles coiled like barbaric dragons, overwhelming with the fierceness of an avalanche, eyes larger than millstones shooting terrifying beams.
"Bang!"
The four-thousand-year-old old demon was simply terrifying; the axe beam exploded, the axe light carved by the Old Chief’s holy weapon sparked on the Qilin Ape Saint’s face, without even breaking a single one of its scales.
Even someone as fierce as the Old Chief felt his heart skip a beat, showing a look of shock, yet he managed to use the force from the axe to dart away from the gaping mouth.
However, Elder Xuanqing, already on the brink of defeat, wasn’t so fortunate, swallowed whole by the Qilin Ape Saint, with a scream, a path emerged and then collapsed.
The Great Dao trembled, the chains of order clamored.
Elder Xuanqing of the Celestial Profound Sect, dead!
The Old Chief felt cold to the bones, narrowly avoiding being swallowed by the old demon as well.
"Not good, even this four-thousand-year-old Qilin Ape Saint has come to kill Wei Fan."
Many external Martial Kings turned pale; the Human Race was already weak, and now with the addition of this old demon, the trouble was immense.
This old demon lived over four thousand years, with unfathomable Dao cultivation, a terrifying body, not even the holy weapon could cut through.
Wei Zhenwu and several others felt their hearts tighten; even if Wei Fan became a saint, he absolutely cannot match such an old demon, especially since Wei Fan killed the demon’s son who had Holy Blood.
"Gu Qingshan, weren’t you trying to lure me, your king? Your king is here!"
The Qilin Ape Saint chewed with big bites, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth only to be licked back with his tongue, seemingly unwilling to waste a drop.
An ocean-like Blood Qi surged from his body, filling the Void World, his aura began to climb, his body further enlarged, fierce energy overwhelmed, forcing the Old Chief to keep retreating.
"Not good!"
Such a scene made Gu Qingshan and others’ expressions drastically change, the Qilin Ape Saint had long cultivated the Saint Realm to its limit, even swallowing a Martial Saint shouldn’t cause such a surge of momentum.
Furthermore, he didn’t appear old and frail, nearing death, the Blood Qi was horrifyingly vigorous.
"Ape King, quickly swallow them!" roared the Golden Lion King, full of excitement.
Gu Qingshan punched back the Black Flood Dragon King and the Five-Colored Demon Bull King, solemnly looking at the Qilin Ape Saint: "Did you succeed?"
Their long-standing fear seemed realized; the Qilin Ape Saint possibly stepped into the Demon Emperor’s Realm through the reinforcement from heaven and earth after the Dao Collapse.
Qilin Ape Saint shook his head: "Still a bit lacking, my king’s Blood Qi had long decayed, not as before, needing some great medicine to break into Emperor’s Ultimate Realm. Thanks to you for finding me so much great medicine."
He extended a crimson tongue, sweeping his eyes over all the present Martial Saints of the Human Race.
Human Race’s Martial Saints were concerned about him breaking through, aiming to lure him out with Wei Fan; he also happened to need great medicine to charge into Emperor Dao Realm, granting the Human Race time to gather their powerhouses.
Gu Qingshan and others showed ugly expressions; the Qilin Ape Saint’s confidence suggested that even if he hadn’t entered Emperor Dao Realm, he was nearing its threshold. If they didn’t kill this old demon today, the Human Race would face a significant threat.
They had long feared this matter, even months ago he and Li Jianchen ventured into the Wilderness seeking the Qilin Ape Saint, yet a demon saint intent on hiding is difficult to find even if digging three feet deep.
"Was it you who killed my son? Your king will swallow you first!"
The Qilin Ape Saint suddenly turned towards the real world’s Wei Fan, extending a claw into the Void World, not forgetting the one who had killed his son.
"Boom!"
Just as Wei Fan prepared to deploy the Profound Yellow Tripod against Qilin Ape Saint, a figure tore through the void, punching towards the Qilin Ape Saint’s claw.
Countless divine lights erupted, the domineering fist intent sweeping across heaven and earth, the Qilin Ape Saint’s grasping hand disintegrated, energy surged in all directions.
"Old demon, since we’re prepared for you, how could there only be these people."
Qin Xiao with wild dancing hair and towering aura, shining holy radiance.
Once the Qilin Ape Saint ascends, trouble isn’t only for Beiding Continent, nearby continents would also face problems.
"Qin Xiao, Sub-Palace Master of the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall of Treasure Flower Continent? Just in time, my king was worried about insufficient great medicine!"
The Qilin Ape Saint responded with joy rather than fear, Emperor Realm isn’t simple, not merely swallowing a couple of Martial Saints would suffice, especially as he was aged, requiring more great medicine.
Normally, he’d fear two Sub-Palace Masters teaming up, but today he wishes for as many Martial Saints as possible to arrive.
"Kid, leave quickly, who knows who will win today."
Qin Xiao clearly didn’t know that Wei Fan was already a Saint Realm powerhouse. After giving instructions, he stepped into the Void World.
"Kill, butcher that old demon, don’t let him escape the Wilderness!"
He was like a streak of thunder piercing through the void, directly charging towards the Qilin Ape Saint.
This old demon had already devoured a Martial Saint. If given time to refine, he would only become stronger.
"Boom!"
The Qilin Ape Saint swung a palm, the claw covered in scale armor shook the Void World, and actually slapped away Qin Xiao, the Demon Hunter Sub-Palace Master.
"Although I haven’t broken through, I’ve already touched the threshold, you’re still looking at me with your old vision!"
The Qilin Ape Saint’s face was ferocious, its terrifying might overwhelming, the scale armor glowing with an eerie green light, its aura far surpassing Qin Xiao.
"Trouble!"
Wei Fan frowned. There was no need to hide anymore; if he didn’t join the battle, Gu Qingshan and the others would be in danger today.
The Human Race had fewer numbers than the Demon Race, and now with the Qilin Ape Saint touching the Demon Emperor’s threshold, one Qin Xiao was simply not enough to be an opponent; even adding Gu Qingshan might not be enough against this old demon.
"Stop hiding, hurry up and slaughter that beast and help me!" Qin Xiao roared.
At this moment, the old Clan Leader had also joined the battle, engaging with the Five-Colored Demon Bull, leaving Gu Qingshan with only the Black Flood Dragon King as his opponent.
The Black Flood Dragon King wasn’t fighting Gu Qingshan to the death but was maneuvering to buy time.
"Boom!"
Wei Fan stepped forward, about to enter the Void World to join the battle, when a white light suddenly flashed across the sky, dazzling and fast, like lightning, about to hit him.
"Wei Fan, be careful!"
"Not good, another Demon Saint has arrived!"
At this moment, exclamations rang throughout the heavens and earth, all warning Wei Fan.
"Such speed!"
Wei Fan was startled; the speed was beyond his reaction, crossing a dozen kilometers in the blink of an eye.
The white light was thick like a barrel, but its tip was pointy, emanating intense Saint Level fluctuations, like a Divine Sword carving a terrifying rift in the void. His Dao Power surged, weaving an energy shield in front of him as the white light crashed into it, twisting into spiderweb-like cracks.
Fortunately, despite its terrifying speed, the white light lacked strength, not immediately shattering his protective Dao Power, granting him reaction time.
As he looked again, it was no Divine Sword or light, but an even whiter than snow Bai He, closing its wings and legs, appearing like a Divine Sword, its beak piercing a crack in his protective Dao Power.
[He Feiyu: Pathway Condensing Demon Saint, Profound Crane Sect disciple, countless murders]
[Kill him to gain 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 600 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
"You... you’ve actually broken through to the Saint Realm!"
He Feiyu’s voice trembled, startled by Wei Fan’s ascension. Xuanyuan Peak achieved sainthood at twenty-five, being the most dazzling talent of Eastern Domain for two thousand years; now, at nineteen, Wei Fan had broken into the Saint Realm, what did that mean?
A breakthrough at this age frightened even a Demon Saint like him. He frantically shook his wings, Demon Qi piercing the heavens, shattering a piece of the void, his beak aiming to break Wei Fan’s protective Dao Power and kill him.
This kind of demon should be killed; otherwise, the Human Race would birth someone more terrifying than Xuanyuan Peak. Being freshly ascended, there’s still a chance to kill; let Wei Fan cultivate for a few years more and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, Wei Fan’s protective Dao Power shattered. Judging by the power given from the panel, He Feiyu’s cultivation was clearly stronger than Song Lingyun’s, so it was no surprise that Wei Fan’s protective Dao Power was broken.
Wei Fan was prepared, and as soon as he blocked, he already reacted, immediately clenching his fist and striking out.
"Everyone wants to kill me, am I that easy to bully?"
Elder Xuanqing came to kill him, the Golden Lion King, Qilin Ape Saint all wanted to kill him, and He Feiyu was also coming to kill him, sneaking an attack.
Wei Fan shouted in anger, Will Power surged like a furious sea, raising a massive tidal wave.
His body shone, brilliant mysterious patterns lit up, Blood Qi pierced the heavens like a dragon, surging energie bursting forth.
The void trembled as if thunder roared, the terrifying aura nearly freezing He Feiyu in place.
"Body Ascension!"
He Feiyu was horrified, screaming from being frightened by the patterns on Wei Fan, it wasn’t an ordinary form of Ascension, but a more terrifying dual Ascension in body and Primordial Spirit.
Getting close to such a monster, even without the protective Dao Power, his beak probably couldn’t pierce Wei Fan’s body.
He attacked Wei Fan not because he thought he couldn’t kill him, but fearing that trying from afar, Wei Fan would be rescued by Gu Qingshan and others. Thus, he used the Profound Crane Sect’s rapid sneak attack on Wei Fan, but little did he expect Wei Fan’s dual Body and Primordial Spirit Ascension, more terrifying than his years of sainthood.
In front of him, divine light dazzled, but didn’t seem beautiful to him; instead, it revealed his fright, fury, deeply impressively enlarging fists, shattering the void, crashing like mountains with Chaos Qi swirling around.
He Feiyu desperately retreated, trying to dodge the punch more massive than ten thousand weights, comparable to a Holy Soldier. But it was heavy as it smashed down, shattering his protective Dao Power and striking his forehead.
