The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

SWISH...

Qin Ya’s face paled, but a moment later, a surge of Medicinal Power began to circulate through him.

The effects of the Holy Essence Undying Pill were truly formidable. If not for this pill’s wondrous properties, Qin Ya, having fought one Half-Venerable after another, might not have survived this long.

With a flicker of his form, he shot toward the Demon Cave.

With a deafening roar, a tide of Demonic Qi surged out.

Qin Ya’s brow furrowed. Then, an idea struck him. He circulated his True Essence, but instead of resisting the Demonic Qi, he began absorbing it into his body and refining it with his Bloodline Power.

Instantly, his bloodline began to boil, and a wave of Refining Power flowed out.

Although this Demonic Qi was a little peculiar, it was fundamentally pure—the perfect nourishment for the incredibly unique Devouring Demon Bloodline within Qin Ya.

As the Demonic Qi entered his body, the devouring power within his bloodline erupted, converting it into the purest Qi Blood Power and slowly strengthening his physical body.

One step, then another...

As Qin Ya slowly neared the Demon Cave, the other Demon Race Half-Venerable’s expression changed drastically. He never imagined this young man could actually withstand the Demonic Qi and get so close.

"You... you monster! Neither human nor demon!"

The Demon Race Half-Venerable let out a sudden roar, his eyes glowing with an eerie, blood-red light. With a powerful push of his legs, he blasted a huge crater in the ground and shot forward like a cannonball.

Qin Ya’s brow furrowed, his eyes flashing with a cold light. A terrifying burst of Qi Blood Power erupted from him as he gripped his long spear—as if holding a mountain range—and whipped it forward.

BAM! BAM!

The fist collided with the Breaking Army Spear, unleashing a deafening roar!!

Terrifying Sound Waves spread out, so powerful they made everyone’s eardrums ache. The surrounding mountains and rocks shattered, sending countless shards of stone flying in all directions.

’Damn it, how can this guy possibly have this much power?’

’A body this strong... it’s nearly on par with Inspector Liu, who I fought earlier. This is simply unbelievable,’ the Demon Race Half-Venerable thought in horror.

"Get... back!"

Qin Ya’s voice was cold. With a flick of his wrist, his long spear followed a mysterious trajectory, knocking aside the Demon Race Half-Venerable’s fist before whipping around to strike his chest. The immense force sent him flying over a thousand zhang, smashing him into a cliff face.

GULP, GULP...

The Half-Venerables fighting high in the sky couldn’t help but gulp, utterly shocked.

They realized that the young man seemed to have gotten even stronger!

Heavens! The continuous battles hadn’t drained his combat strength; on the contrary, they were making him stronger and stronger. Was there anything in the world more absurd than this?

"Is that guy really a King?"

"Impossible. Have you ever seen a King who can slaughter Half-Venerables like dogs?"

"He’s such a monster. It’s unimaginable that someone like him exists in this world."

Everyone was utterly horrified, and the members of the Demon Race were especially terrified.

The two remaining Half-Venerables abandoned Bai Wuyou and the others and charged toward Qin Ya.

Bai Wuyou and the others exchanged a look. Disregarding their restricted Cultivation, they charged forward, attacking with all their might to delay the Half-Venerables and buy time for Qin Ya.

The Great Valley Master’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he dashed in the direction of the Demon Cave.

"Hehe, and where do you think you’re going?"

A light chuckle rang out as a graceful, alluring figure blocked his path.

Fang Mei raised a delicate hand and sent out a seemingly light palm strike. Yet its might was enough to part the clouds and stir the seas, whipping up violent gales. Within the Palm Qi was a beautiful, exquisite dagger, like a venomous snake hidden in the shadows, waiting for the chance to deal a fatal blow.

"Demoness, get out of my way!!"

The Great Valley Master trembled with rage, his Qi of Death and Silence continuously erupting from him.

But Fang Mei merely covered her mouth and chuckled, her fragrant shoulders trembling slightly. Her Palm Qi filled the space, and the dagger danced about at will, its cold glint making the Great Valley Master shudder involuntarily.

’Hmph, so what if you can block me?’

’Even if you are a Venerable, there’s no way you can deploy your Domain under the influence of this Demon Cave. With your power so restricted, how could you possibly be my opponent?’

’That kid can’t destroy the Demon Cave anyway, so I’ll just take your life first.’

The Great Valley Master thought coldly, his mind racing. He made up his mind to first eliminate Fang Mei, this obstacle, and then go tear that anomaly, Qin Ya, limb from limb.

"Come on, then. Let’s see what you’re capable of."

A smile played on Fang Mei’s lips, her expression filled with a captivating charm.

Even though the Great Valley Master was on his guard, he couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart. He quickly suppressed it, and the Qi of Death and Silence erupted from his body as he attacked Fang Mei.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Qin Ya walked step-by-step to the edge of the altar. He climbed the stairs and entered the terrifying vortex of Demonic Qi. Darkness—a seemingly endless void—instantly enveloped him, rendering all light and color meaningless.

’So this is the Demon Cave.’

’Is this the Fragment Space that spawned from the Abyss?’

Qin Ya murmured to himself as his eyes scanned the surroundings. He searched everywhere, but he couldn’t find any kind of activation mechanism.

’What’s going on? Where is the mechanism?’

’Where is the mechanism that activates the Demon Cave?’

Qin Ya’s brow furrowed. He scanned the area with his Divine Thought, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

Just then, the Void Saint within his body said calmly, "Beneath your feet."

Hearing this, Qin Ya looked down. A thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes, and he said with dawning realization, "The altar. The mechanism is the very altar I’m standing on!"

"That’s right. It is the altar."

"Then how exactly am I supposed to destroy this altar?"

"Why don’t you test its durability first?"

Qin Ya nodded. He shot into the air, tightly gripping the Breaking Army Long Spear. His Four Symbols True Intent and True Meaning of Destruction then erupted, condensing at the spear’s tip to form a terrifying Power of Natural Destruction, which he brought crashing down onto the altar.

With a deafening boom, a terrifying wave of energy instantly erupted.

The attention of everyone fighting in the distance was instantly drawn over.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure stood ramrod straight, leaning on his spear.

But a look of disappointment appeared in the eyes of Bai Wuyou and the others.

Because the altar beneath Qin Ya’s feet... was completely unscathed!!

Mysterious Runes flowed across the surface of the altar, exuding the Realm of an indestructible Vajra. This was precisely why Qin Ya’s attack had come to nothing.

"Space... Rend!!"

With a cold shout, Qin Ya unleashed his True Meaning of Space. He thrust his spear, and a Space Rift tore open in the void, revealing an extremely terrifying spatial turbulence within.

The spatial turbulence swept out like a hurricane. This power, capable of obliterating a Half-Venerable, had no effect whatsoever on the altar. The Runes on its surface merely flickered, and the force of the turbulence vanished into thin air. The altar’s power was just that terrifying.

Seeing the frown on Qin Ya’s face, the Demon Race Half-Venerables all smiled, breathing an inward sigh of relief. They then refocused their full attention on their own battles.

"Haha, I told you so! The Demon Cave cannot be destroyed. Even a Martial Artist like Qin Ya can only toil in vain. You have lost!"

"Hmph. We spent countless years, fortunes, and effort to obtain that altar. How could a mere King possibly destroy it?"

"The outcome of this battle has already been decided."

"After today, our Beihuang Demon Clan will finally have a pure land to call our own."
