Chapter 533 - 438: Void Anomaly
As Qin Ming’s Divine Soul Power invaded, the bald man let out a scream of extreme pain.
Qin Ming was indifferent, continuing to search the soul.
Just as his Divine Soul Power was about to invade the bald man’s Sea of Consciousness, a strange blood-colored restriction lit up, about to explode within the bald man’s Divine Soul.
"So this is what was acting up." Qin Ming finally understood what kind of trick the Blood Refining Demon Sect had done on the Divine Souls of these True Disciples.
Now that he had become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, his Divine Techniques were far beyond comparison to before, naturally incomparable to when he was in the Golden Core Stage.
Qin Ming’s Divine Thought concentrated fiercely, instantly erasing the blood-colored restriction.
"Ahhhhh!"
The bald man howled in terror, without the blood-colored restriction, the endless soul-level pain made life worse than death for him.
Half a moment later, the bald Golden Core Demon Cultivator was literally soul-searched to death by Qin Ming.
Qin Ming did not waste any time, using the Thorn Technique to transform his body into a Blood Pearl, then put away the storage pouch.
After dealing with these matters, Han Yuan and the other arrived tardily, sighing at the scene that Qin Ming had swept clean with thunderous methods.
They saw how a Golden Core Great Power, who would normally flee at the mere rumor, was effortlessly crushed in front of Qin Ming, easier than killing an ant.
Qin Ming also acquired a lot of useful information from the bald man’s mind.
For example, the method to break the Blood Ring Curse Seal was actually only held by the Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs.
"This is a bit tricky."
Currently, based on the soul-search information, Qin Ming knew that within the Blood Refining Demon Sect, at least three Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs had successfully descended upon the Human Realm.
The most powerful among them was a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator known as ’Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch’.
As for the Blood Realm, besides the Blood Refining Demon Sect, there are four other major forces: ’Ghost Hall’, ’Ten Thousand Souls Cliff’, ’Infinite Mountain’, and ’Longevity Temple’.
The remaining four Divinity Transformation Sects have also been descending into other major Cultivation Realms in the Human Realm.
Among the five major forces of the Blood Realm, the Blood Refining Demon Sect is the strongest.
Currently, the Three Kingdoms of Central State and the territory of the Beast Roar Mountain Range are all within the descent range of the Blood Refining Demon Sect.
Qin Ming contemplated briefly.
"Mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Monarch... it’s not so bad. After all, I have more than four thousand years of killing edge. As long as it’s not a Demonic Cultivator with absurdly powerful Divine Techniques or a Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable descending, I should be able to handle it."
"A Nascent Soul Demon Monarch, no matter how strong, has a lifespan of just over two thousand years."
Thinking of this, Qin Ming felt slightly reassured.
"But, constantly burning lifespan is not a solution. I need to quickly improve my cultivation and enhance my Divine Secret Techniques."
Qin Ming also learned from the soul search of the bald man.
The so-called descent realm is due to the confluence of Spiritual Tides between the three thousand minor worlds beneath the Spirit Realm, sometimes opening a Void Passage between two worlds.
When two minor worlds experience a confluence, the size and duration of it can vary; some last only ten years, while others can last decades or even centuries.
As the void rift continues to expand, not only cultivators but also low-tier demonic cultivators and Divinity Transformation Venerables can traverse freely through the Void Passage.
Even the Descent Talisman might not be necessary.
Qin Ming’s eyes flickered: "With the Blood Realm’s void anomaly transforming into such a large-scale descent realm, it’s likely to last for decades or even a century, not ending soon..."
He thought no more, waved his hand, destroying the Guiding Platform and Array beneath the void anomaly.
...
...
At the descent altar of the Blood Refining Demon Sect in the Blood Realm.
A large and robust Demon Monarch was preparing to use the altar for descent, exuding the Spiritual Pressure of a Mid-stage Nascent Soul.
But in the next moment.
An intense white light erupted from a void rift in the abyss below, dispersing quickly.
The robust man’s gaze was extremely sharp as he coldly questioned: "What’s the problem?"
"Reporting to Demon Monarch Qishang, it seems the Guiding Platform near the Void Passage in the Human Realm has been destroyed."
"We’ve lost contact..."
A disciple of the Blood Refining Demon Sect, seeing the formidable figure of his furious superior, cautiously answered.
Demon Monarch Qishang snorted coldly: "And you dare face me?"
"Daring to delay my descent!"
He clawed, instantly draining the Essence Blood of the reporting Golden Core Demon Cultivator, turning him into a pile of bones.
"Spare me, Demon Monarch! No!"
"Ugh!"
...
At the Beast Roar Mountain Range, Qin Ming tried some methods to destroy the void rift before him.
But the outcome surprised him.
These void rift passages, drifting in the void, seem impossible to easily and completely destroy by ordinary means.
However, without the Guiding Platform, the demonic cultivators in the Blood Realm would be highly unstable when attempting to descend through the void passages.
Attempting a rash descent might lead to the danger of death and soul dispersal.
Thus, destroying the Guiding Platform can temporarily prevent the demonic cultivators from descending.
"Thank you, True Monarch, for your intervention. Otherwise, if more demonic cultivators descended, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Han Yuan and his companion deeply bowed to Qin Ming, sincerely expressing their gratitude.
Qin Ming replied indifferently: "It’s nothing, just a casual act."
"By the way, are you executing a mission in this area, and is there a base nearby?"
"To report to True Monarch, indeed, a base established by the Guardian Dao Alliance to handle descents is located ten thousand miles away, Weiyuan City." Han Yuan respectfully replied.
Qin Ming asked indifferently: "Who is in charge of Weiyuan City?"
"Reporting to True Monarch, Weiyuan City is the largest city resisting the demonic path under the Guardian Dao Alliance, currently managed by Elder Qian from Lihuo Palace. If there are special emergencies, Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Guardian Dao Alliance will also come to command the situation." Han Yuan dared not conceal anything, replying in detail.
Qin Ming pondered briefly, "Hmm, take me to Weiyuan City."
"Yes!"
Han Yuan had just responded when he was suddenly shocked to find himself swept up by a force, immediately flying away from the spot.
Two days later.
A towering, majestic Immortal City appeared in Qin Ming’s view, the Weiyuan City mentioned by Han Yuan.
The geographical location of Weiyuan City is at the junction between the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm and the Beast Roar Mountain Range, at the link of two gigantic mountain ranges.
As soon as they arrived outside Weiyuan City, they saw a golden stream of light darting out from the city, steadily stopping before Qin Ming’s Lingxiao Imperial Carriage.
"Qian Yue of Lihuo Palace, pays respect to True Monarch Wangyue!!"
Qin Ming sat inside the carriage, casually glancing at Hua Tianxiong, this formidable supporter.
Elder Qian appeared youthful with his white hair, yet energetic and introspective, with Golden Core Perfection Cultivation.
According to Hua Tianxiong, Elder Qian was already among the top ten among the many cultivators in Great Jin Cultivation, next to the Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
It was evident that Elder Qian had recognized his status, welcoming him from afar.
"Oh? So it’s Elder Qian from Lihuo Palace. Are any other Nascent Souls stationed in Weiyuan City? I have matters to discuss." Qin Ming spoke indifferently from the carriage.
Elder Qian’s heart tensed upon hearing this, immediately responding, "To report to Elder Qin, only the night duty is currently in Weiyuan City. If you have important matters, you may have the junior pass a message."
"The Ancestors of the Guardian Dao Alliance can arrive within a day."
"Hmm, convey to them on my behalf that I have urgent matters to discuss." Qin Ming’s voice coldly transmitted from within.
"I will adhere to True Monarch Wangyue’s instructions!"
Elder Qian dared not delay, hurriedly complying.
Qin Ming found it somewhat amusing, never expecting a day where he could freely command Hua Tianxiong, this formidable backer...
"Han Yuan, Liuu Ye, you two have made great contributions this time. Go to the Steward Hall and claim your merits."
Elder Qian, understanding the background, also realized that these two were remarkably lucky to have ended up like this.
However, through their exchange, with Elder Qian’s deep wisdom in handling matters, he perceived that True Monarch Wangyue intended to shelter Han Yuan and Liuu Ye, promptly offering a favor.
Subsequently, Elder Qian, with great respect, invited Qin Ming into Weiyuan City, arranging prestigious accommodations for him.
Only a day later.
A crimson rainbow instantly arrived, revealing the figure of Master Lihuo.
