Chapter 636 - 362: Primordial Celestial Demon (3)
Even in death, the corpse remains domineering, plundering everything, absorbing everything.
"Get out of here, move aside for me!"
Seeing numerous Grandmasters blocking his path forward, Luring shouted impatiently.
Upon seeing the corpse of the Primordial Celestial Demon, Qin Yuesheng’s mind was already endlessly pondering what he might gain from disassembling it. Luring’s words weren’t given any thought by him; instantly, Qin Yuesheng slashed out with a Blazing Fire Saber, attempting to halt Luring to solve his doubts.
Anything appearing in Lanhai Dragon City was definitely not an ordinary artifact, how could this celestial demon corpse, seemingly extraordinary, be allowed to be taken away by another demon?
Seeing someone daring to obstruct him, Luring became furious and immediately struck back with a palm.
The Blazing Fire Saber Qi, which was supposed to be fully powerful, couldn’t resist at all, instantly dissipated by Luring’s palm.
"Hmm?" Qin Yuesheng was shocked, this celestial demon... its strength is uncanny.
After being disturbed, how could Luring let it go unchecked? In its eyes, Qin Yuesheng had already become marked for death.
While dragging the Primordial Celestial Demon upwards, Luring’s eye color suddenly changed, its whole body’s momentum flaring, a red silk thread appeared on its fingertips, beginning to spin around its fingers.
Celestial Demon Nether Finger!
Luring pointed out a finger, all the silk threads transformed into a sharp shot, aiming at Qin Yuesheng’s location faster than light.
Immediately, Qin Yuesheng hurriedly maximized the Mixed Yuan Creation Golden Bell Shield, simultaneously slashing out the second stroke of the Devouring Heaven and Earth Seven Limits, Thunder.
Raging thunder danced around the Phantom Tiger Soul, gathering in a storm-like momentum, forming the Thunder Slash.
Purple light splattered, the lightning dazzling.
The Mixed Yuan Creation Golden Bell Shield was instantly pierced with a hole by the Celestial Demon Nether Finger; fortunately, Qin Yuesheng had anticipated the Golden Bell would probably not withstand this demon, hence the Thunder blade as a backup.
Under the watchful eyes of numerous Grandmasters, Phantom Tiger Soul and Celestial Demon Nether Finger collided heavily.
For a moment, darkness enveloped the space, as if all light had vanished; people felt a sudden blackness and could no longer see anything.
Boom!
Qin Yuesheng felt an irresistible force strike him, unable to react before being sent flying back, crashing heavily onto a distant mountainside.
This time, he was defeated, completely, just like the last encounter with the Purple Celestial Demon.
Luring was the orthodox celestial demon that descended to the mortal realm years ago, capable of dueling Immortals in strength; Qin Yuesheng, who had just reached the Inner Power Realm, was indeed not its match.
If Qin Yuesheng’s techniques hadn’t exceeded what’s typical for a Grandmaster, he would have died under the Celestial Demon Nether Finger already.
Luring didn’t look back and continued rushing toward the top of the pit, killing people was far less important than quickly taking the Primordial Celestial Demon corpse away from here.
Even such a powerful Qin Yuesheng was overwhelmed by the demon; those Grandmasters who had witnessed Qin Yuesheng’s prowess dared not step forward to obstruct, fearing they were living too long.
Thus, everyone could only helplessly watch Luring leave, with the Primordial Celestial Demon corpse shrinking in their view.
"Damn it, what is this demon’s deal?" Qin Yuesheng climbed out of the pit he created, muttering incredulously.
The jade coffin floated alone on the pond surface, the fat man lying inside breathed a sigh of relief, quickly climbing out, intending to find a place to hide first and leave when the opportunity arose.
As the Primordial Celestial Demon corpse departed, the underground seemed to lose its pillar, trembling violently, whirlpools forming rapidly in the pond, symbolizing the start of self-destruction.
No one knew where the relics of the Saint Wheel Realm powerhouse were, nor why there was a Primordial Celestial Demon corpse beneath the jade coffin; the clear-headed knew it was time to leave, otherwise once the pit collapsed, even Grandmasters would struggle to survive amid the subsidence, given this location’s suppression of their power.
Those who benefited had less reason to linger and began preparing to leave via the chains.
Those yet to gain anything were equally unwilling, this once-in-centuries opportunity was too precious to pass up; missing it meant entering a treasure mountain and leaving empty-handed.
Thus, the scramble for the Three Flowers became even more fierce.
The one in Qin Yuesheng’s hand drew the attention of many Grandmasters once more.
Faced with enough interest, even a calm person would go mad; the chance for the Three Flowers at the Top represented the most lucrative benefit for a Grandmaster.
Qin Yuesheng didn’t want to linger there longer, having reached the Inner Power Realm and holding the opportunity for Three Flowers at the Top, this Lanhai Dragon City trip was greatly rewarding, leaving him utterly satisfied.
Instantaneous Movement!
With a light tap on an iron chain, Qin Yuesheng vanished instantly, his speed was rare even among Grandmasters.
"Chase him! Don’t let him escape!" The Grandmasters shouted urgently and began pursuing along the chains.
But in terms of speed, how could they compete with Qin Yuesheng’s? In a few breaths, he had left them far behind.
Stepping from the pit, Luring and the Primordial Celestial Demon’s body had long vanished without a trace, indicating the other’s speed was even more astonishing, surpassing Qin Yuesheng’s Instantaneous Movement.
"No matter, I should find a quiet place first; this location is not suitable for a lengthy stay." Qin Yuesheng touched his chest, where his acquired Golden Flower was stored.
With several leaps, Qin Yuesheng’s figure quickly vanished near the Inner City; when the Grandmasters below managed to chase out, Qin Yuesheng was already nowhere to be seen, leaving them angrily biting their teeth, trembling with frustration.
The world is vast, Grandmasters are few; Lanhai Dragon City gathering so many Grandmasters from across the Nine Provinces in one day was the most bustling event in the martial world over the past century.
Upon returning from Lanhai Dragon City, Inner Strength Martial Artists who had been fortunate participants bragged to their peers, spreading what was supposed to be a secret all over the martial world, leaving everyone regretting not venturing out to sea to witness the grand sight of numerous Grandmasters gathered.
Yet only the Grandmasters knew how frustrating this venture was, losing the quickest key to the Saint Wheel Realm was something they would lament for decades.
Of course, where some lose others gain, only those involved truly knew the profits and losses.
