Chapter 296: Terrifying Demon Creatures Emerging from the Abyss of Demons
Xiao Yang not only successfully crafted the Breaking Realm Dan, but his alchemical mastery also skyrocketed from Grandmaster to the divine realm!
Moreover, the potency of the Breaking Realm Dan he crafted was utterly explosive.
Who would’ve guessed he used only top-tier spiritual herbs?
And the Dan Furnace used for making the Breaking Realm Dan was a treasure of the celestial family!
The Breaking Realm Dan crafted by Xiao Yang was indeed a top-notch pill.
How could its effects not be astonishing?
After Liu Qingyun took the Breaking Realm Dan, it only took him a day to leap from Heavenly Martial Realm to Divine Martial Realm.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would dare believe Liu Qingyun could break through to Divine Martial Realm so quickly?
Under normal circumstances, even with Xiao Yang’s assistance, Liu Qingyun would’ve needed several years of grueling training to achieve this.
But now, one Breaking Realm Dan allowed Liu Qingyun to break through in just a single day.
Ling Xian’er, Nangong Hui, and Chen Taixu were all ecstatic.
With the Breaking Realm Dan in hand, they felt they could finally take that crucial step towards becoming saints.
They all immediately chose to enter seclusion.
Nangong Hui was even more surprised that Xiao Yang gifted her a top-grade Breaking Realm Dan.
She was truly grateful to Xiao Yang.
With the three strong practitioners entering seclusion, the Qingyun Secret Realm grew considerably quieter.
Liu Qingyun had to handle sect matters, so after breaking through to Divine Martial Realm, he directly left the secret realm.
Zhao Fan soon followed suit.
He needed to make arrangements for the newly inducted disciples’ training.
And Xiao Yang wasn’t slacking off either.
He continued his research on various Dan formulas from the Wujidan Canon.
“Five Elements Body Refinement Dan?”
Xiao Yang suddenly spotted a formula in the Wujidan Canon.
Wasn’t this precisely the Dan that Zhao Fan needed?
Zhao Fan was a Five Elements Body, and if he used the Five Elements Body Refinement Dan, his body would be refined to become even stronger.
However, crafting this Dan required collecting five types of spiritual herbs.
He already had fire-type herbs on hand.
He had a bit of water-type herbs too, just not much.
He had plenty of wood-type herbs.
But when it came to metal and earth-type herbs, he didn’t have much.
There was the Purple Gold Ginseng for metal-type herbs.
And the Earth Spirit Fruit for earth-type herbs.
He could barely gather the five types of spiritual herbs.
But Zhao Fan was not comparable to Liu Qingyun.
Zhao Fan was too young, inexperienced, and his rapid cultivation could have negative long-term effects.
Xiao Yang didn’t plan to craft the Five Elements Body Refinement Dan immediately.
…
While Xiao Yang was busy refining pills in the Qingyun Secret Realm, several mysterious figures quietly entered the Abyss of Demons.
The Abyss of Demons, the most treacherous place in the northern realm.
No joking here.
When the celestial race led the human race to drive the demon race back into the abyss, that was where the final battlefield of the celestial and demon races laid.
The remnants of the celestial and demon powers linger here.
Even after countless ages, the demonic energy still gathers within the abyss.
Under the corruption of the demonic energy, fearsome demonic creatures could frequently be seen appearing both inside and outside the abyss.
The abyss was vast, with a dark brown ground and dark brown stones.
The soil was mixed with black demonic bones.
The flora and fauna growing here had their own unique characteristics, exhibiting traces of demonic nature.
The individuals came directly to a cave deep within the abyss.
Inside the cave stood an ice sculpture.
More accurately, there was a humanoid demonic creature sealed within clear, solid ice.
The creature was covered in black scales, with long sharp claws and razor-like fangs, like a demon crawling out of hell, looking utterly terrifying.
The figures began to awaken the humanoid demonic creature trapped in the ice.
One of them even cut his finger, using his blood as a guide to plant a forbidden technique on the humanoid demonic creature.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed as the solid ice shattered, unleashing a powerful surge of demonic energy.
The figures were startled.
A demonic shadow stepped out from the rolling waves of demonic energy.
Its blood-red eyes stared intently at these individuals.
A terrifying aura of demonic nature spread from this shadow.
The black-robed figures tensed, keeping a cautious watch on the shadow.
At that moment, one person in a black cloak suddenly stepped forward, raising their head to gaze at the creature.
This person was none other than Qin Fei.
The other two were pale with fear.
When the creature’s gaze fell on them, they nearly wet themselves.
“Roar!”
The creature suddenly let out a furious roar and lunged at Qin Fei.
Qin Fei formed a magical hand seal and activated his secret technique.
The oncoming creature let out a scream and crashed to the ground, rolling and writhing in pain.
After a while, Qin Fei finally stopped.
The creature groaned and stood up, looking fearfully at Qin Fei.
“Kill this person!”
Qin Fei pulled out an image of Xiao Yang and held it in front of the horrific humanoid demon.
The creature let out a low growl upon seeing Xiao Yang’s likeness, and in the next moment, it transformed into a swirl of black demonic energy and rushed out, disappearing in an instant.
“Master, using this trump card for just one Xiao Yang, isn’t that using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?”
One black-robed figure asked, confused.
“As long as we can kill Xiao Yang, any price is worth it,” Qin Fei gritted his teeth.
Xiao Yang must die.
If Xiao Yang didn’t die, then Qin Fei would find no peace.
To achieve this end, he was even willing to awaken this horrifying existence that had been sealed for endless ages.
Xiao Yang remained completely unaware that Qin Fei had summoned a terrifying being just to kill him.
Quickly, a demonic shadow burst forth from the Abyss of Demons.
“That is…”
Outside the Abyss, a small bald child with pearly white teeth and rosy lips, looking like a porcelain doll, stepped out of a dilapidated temple.
Upon seeing the demonic shadow rushing through the sky, he was taken aback.
The little bald child shot up into the sky, chasing after the demonic energy.
Days later, during a moonless windy night.
A demonic shadow descended from above and landed directly on the peak of Qingyun Mountain.
“Boom!”
With a tremendous crash, the ground shook violently.
The descending demonic shadow created a massive pit right in the center of the square before the Qingyun Great Hall.
Waves of demonic energy wafted out from the pit.
All the disciples of the Qingyun Sect were startled by the sudden noise.
Two disciples rushed forward to investigate.
Just as they approached the massive pit on the square, two tentacles suddenly surged from the pit, instantly wrapping around both of them and yanking them inside.
Screams of terror echoed from the pit as the two Qingyun disciples quickly became the meal of whatever lurked within.
“This…”
Others watching were terrified, their faces paling significantly.
Zhao Fan quickly pulled out a sound transmission talisman to inform Xiao Yang, who was in closed-door cultivation within the Qingyun Secret Realm.
At that moment, the sect’s strong practitioners were all in seclusion.
With strong enemies approaching, who could stand against them?
Zhao Fan had no choice but to ask Xiao Yang for help.
Soon, Xiao Yang’s figure appeared in the square.
“Master…”
Zhao Fan quickly approached to pay his respects.
As the dust of the square settled, everyone saw a figure curled up in the pit.
This figure was shrouded in demonic energy, giving off an intense sense of danger.
“Another one of Qin Fei’s tricks?”
Xiao Yang was genuinely furious.
He hadn’t bothered Qin Fei, yet here he was, sending someone to kill him every few days.
Did he really think he was a soft touch to be toyed with?
“Swish!”
At that moment, the curled figure in the pit suddenly unleashed two beams of demonic light, piercing straight at Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang swiftly pushed Zhao Fan aside and dodged the incoming beams of light.
The beams struck the ground, creating two bottomless craters.
“…”
Zhao Fan was utterly stunned.
Xiao Yang glared hard at the creature in the pit.
The creature, having missed its attack, slowly stood up.
It was a humanoid demon covered in black scales.
The creature immediately fixed its blood-red eyes on Xiao Yang.
Everyone gasped, startled by the horrifying creature.
Suddenly, the creature extended its right claw and lunged at Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang pointed out, striking the demon’s claw directly.
“Pfft!”
The demon’s claw was instantly pierced by the Sword Qi of the Futian Sword that exploded out from Xiao Yang.
After piercing the claw, the Sword Qi didn’t dissipate; it continued on to puncture the demon’s shoulder.
The demon seemed utterly oblivious.
Black blood flowed from the wound.
It was no human.
“This guy isn’t human!”
Someone exclaimed.
“What… not human?”
All the new disciples of the Qingyun Sect were dumbfounded.
A demon creature had attacked Qingyun Mountain.
Xiao Yang observed as the creature’s wounds healed at a visible rate.
“Healing powers this strong…”
Xiao Yang’s expression grew serious as he focused intently on the demon.
“Roar!”
The demon roared, jumping out of the pit viciously, unleashing waves of demonic energy that enveloped Xiao Yang.
“Sword Moves Heaven and Earth!”
Xiao Yang used the Spirit to Control the Sword, unleashing waves of Sword Qi that dispersed the surrounding demonic energy.
Countless sword shadows appeared in the space around Xiao Yang.
“Kill!”
Xiao Yang pointed at the demon.
The Futian Sword Qi erupted from his fingertip.
There was no doubt about it.
Xiao Yang’s Futian Sword Qi was simply indestructible.
The demon was sent flying by the Sword Qi.
It bore a tunnel-like blood hole through its body.
Yet, this creature was still incredibly terrifying.
After sustaining such a punishment, it remained feral and unyielding, rapidly healing its wounds before everyone’s eyes.
The disciples of the Qingyun Sect were dumbfounded witnessing this scene.
This monster was practically immortal!
However, Xiao Yang knew that this thing wasn’t indestructible.
It simply couldn’t be killed through conventional means.
He had already figured out what kind of entity this was.
It was a creature from the most treacherous parts of the northern realm.
There was a fundamental difference between demons and demon creatures.
Demon creatures lacked humanity; they were beings solely driven by slaughter.
This was one of the hazards left behind by the demon race.
In his previous life, Xiao Yang had already witnessed the horror of demon creatures.
These entities were nearly impossible to kill.
Not only did they possess extraordinary attacking power, but their self-healing abilities were unparalleled as well.
Even if he chopped off its head, it wouldn’t stay dead.
Only by smashing its skull to pieces could it truly be eliminated.
Otherwise, even if it sustained serious injuries, it wouldn’t die, rapidly recovering and coming back to life.
In his previous life, he had suffered from the treachery of these demon creatures.
Back then, Qin Fei had indeed brought forth such creatures to attack the Qingyang Sword Sect, utterly annihilating it.
Yet in this life, Qin Fei had resorted to such tactics so soon?
Xiao Yang genuinely hadn’t expected that Qin Fei would invoke this card just to kill him.
In his previous life, Qin Fei only used this trump card at the very end.
It seemed like Qin Fei was truly desperate.
He was impatient to kill him now.
