Hands Stained with Royal Blood

At the bottom of the deep pit, Qin Ming walked more and more steadily, completely withdrawing his thoughts from the Near Immortal Object and the metal paper, and calming down completely.

Those things were still far removed from him, and had little to do with him; they all belonged to the core lineage of the Beyond the Mundane. He reminded himself not to get carried away, but to keep his feet on the ground and move forward steadily.

Just a few months ago, he was hunting in the mountains when he contracted Strange Illness and nearly died. He endured hunger and struggled to survive.

As for everything in the Cui Household, it was nothing but a pipe dream, not to be taken seriously. After embarking on the New Life Path, he continuously improved his physique and finally broke free from his predicament.

Qin Ming felt that practicing the Heavenly Light Force was his way out, and if he continued to integrate it, he would eventually rise to prominence.

Chen Shuhang and Jiang Congyun fled all the way, not daring to retrace their steps, unwilling to encounter He Tai, who possessed the demeanor of Young Grandmaster, or the successor of the Five Elements Palace.

After being severely injured by Qin Ming, the two were in very poor condition and worried that on their way back, a master who practiced special techniques would notice their weakness. If someone wanted to harm them, their chances of survival would be slim.

Moreover, Jiang Congyun and Chen Shuhang felt that their experience at the bottom of the pit was disgraceful and they did not want to mention it to those people.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, was walking back along the original route at a leisurely pace, because this was part of his plan; he wanted to stir up the whole situation.

He could not secretly take the Near-Immortal artifact away, because it was too extraordinary. Along the way, it was shrouded in auspicious light, illuminating the surrounding mist with vibrant colors.

If he doesn't return along the pre-arranged route, he'll likely be accused of trying to abscond with Near Immortal Object, which would provoke an attack from the Beyond-Mundane Disciples.

Qin Ming pondered, "Since that's the case, I'll use the Eight Trigrams Furnace as bait to lure all the disciples into the fray and let them engage in a chaotic battle."

Since no one knows that Li Qingyue has returned yet, she can wait patiently as the fierce and cruel competition draws to a close.

Qin Ming's only concern was whether Beyond-Mundane Disciples could activate the Eight Trigrams Furnace and unleash its mysterious power if they were to obtain it temporarily.

He felt he should be cautious and perhaps secretly capture a Beyond-Mundane Disciples to test his skills. He had been in the forbidden area for quite some time, and the Pure Yang Blood on his armor was almost completely evaporated.

At the bottom of the giant pit, violent colored mist flowed, like a vast expanse of heavenly fire surging and roaring. Even though Qin Ming felt a burning sensation in his mouth and nose every time he inhaled, with waves of searing pain.

If any other New Life Evolver came in, their lungs would be burned through in moments, burned from the inside out, and reduced to ashes. "Huh, they're out!"

"He really obtained Near Immortal Object!"

The three masters guarding the edge of the deep pit saw a hazy figure approaching from afar through the colorful mist, and noticed that the item in its hand was surrounded by Divine Rosy Radiance.

He Tai was a young master invited by the Zheng Family. His lineage was extremely extraordinary. He practiced the Great Ape King Force, and his Ancestor once dared Tathagata confront the Buddha of that era.

He stared at the figure in the Heavenly Light light, a strange look on his face, and said, "Chen Shuhang and Jiang Congyun are gone, only the successor of the Six Royal Force remains."

"He has no connection with the Six Royal Lineage," Chen Xingyuan said calmly. He came from the legendary Five Elements Palace, and his strength was unfathomable.

Li Tianhe, a disciple of the Jade Purity Lineage, simply hummed in agreement.

Chen Xingyuan, a disciple of the Five Elements Palace, added calmly, "He also has no connection with the Tathagata Lineage."

There was no one else here except for these three, all of whom were of great importance and whose Heavenly Light Force was the most unique and powerful.

Qin Ming pierced through the dense Heavenly Light and was not far from them. All three of them were drawn to the Near Immortal Object that, despite its severe damage, still shone with dazzling light.

"You had a conflict with Jiang Congyun and Chen Shuhang?" He Tai asked.

Qin Ming looked at him without saying a word. Was he looking for trouble?

Chen Xingyuan and Li Tianhe remained silent, watching calmly.

"You were far too ruthless, leaving them both in a desperate situation?" He Tai spoke again. Qin Ming retorted, "What do you mean? Do you think I killed them? Don't throw mud at me."

"There's no best, after all, we're all walking the same path, it's not easy." He Tai nodded, then smiled and reached out to take the dazzling Eight Trigrams Furnace. Qin Ming walked forward, approaching the edge of the giant pit, and handed the Eight Trigrams Furnace over.

He Tai smiled, grabbed the edge of the furnace mouth with one hand, and suddenly unleashed the Great Ape King Force with the other, blasting it towards Qin Ming. The Great Ape King Force was extremely violent, both masculine and domineering, as if a giant ape that devoured the sky had appeared here, with the Heavenly Light vast. Qin Ming could not be hit by it, so he activated the Wind Force, creating a gale, and avoided this fierce Heavenly Light.

However, the Pure Yang Blood in his body dissipated. There wasn't much left to begin with, and with He Tai's sudden attack, it all evaporated.

Clearly, He Tai's aim was to dissipate the remaining Pure Yang Blood on his armor.

Normally, New Life Evolver entering places with abundant Heavenly Light are absolutely risking their lives.

Qin Ming had just emerged alive from inside He Tai pulled this stunt, shattering his Pure Yang Blood, clearly carrying a strong sense of malice.

However, He Tai was also taken aback. He had already grabbed the edge of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, so how come he failed to snatch it? He actually lost his grip.

Qin Ming's expression was indifferent; he had long seen through this man's ill intentions. Even if he wanted to put on a show and cause chaos, he would not use this man to ignite it.

Just now, his Adhesion Force was activated, and no matter how hard He Tai tried to grab him, it would be in vain. "Do I have a grudge against you?" Qin Ming asked, while trying to climb up the slope.

With a whoosh, the three masters moved simultaneously, as fast as lightning, blocking his path.

"You killed Jiang Congyun and Chen Shuhang, your hands are stained with blood. We couldn't stand it and wanted to avenge them," He Tai said indifferently.

Qin Ming looked at the three and said, "Are you all so hypocritical? Why pretend now? You're probably after Near Immortal Object, aren't you?" Chen Xingyuan, the successor of the Five Elements Palace, nodded and said, "That's right. The Eight Trigrams Furnace of Luofu Mountain was incredibly famous a thousand years ago, involving Near-Immortal creatures and Godlike beings deep within the Night Mist World. We want to study it carefully."

Qin Ming didn't know how to comment. A group of Beyond-Mundane Disciples formed alliances and used every trick in the book, but even the people they invited to help had their own agendas.

When Qin Ming first met He Tai, the man was very low-key and humble, but now his true nature has been revealed. Qin Ming shook his head and sighed softly.

He then feigned a breakout and rushed towards the slope, only to be intercepted by three top experts who tried to force him into a desperate situation where he would be scorched by the Heavenly Light. Qin Ming's killing intent surfaced. He had been very restrained, letting Chen Shuhang and Jiang Congyun go, but now he had no intention of forgiving the person before him. He exchanged blows with He Tai, not to immediately determine who was superior or to fight to the death, but to activate his Adhesion Force, drawing the successor of the Great Ape King Force and pulling him into the bottom of the giant pit where the Heavenly Light was dense.

He Tai was alarmed. This man's External Manifestation Heavenly Light were limited; how could he have dragged him into such a perilous situation?

His expression turned cold. He was protected by Pure Yang Blood, while his opponent had lost his support and was no longer protected by spiritual blood. He certainly couldn't stay here for long.

He Tai unleashed his Great Ape King Force in full force, and behind him, a giant black ape seemed to rise up, roaring as if to tear through the night and reveal the light of day once more.

It must be said that his Heavenly Light Force was truly extraordinary; no wonder his Ancestor dared to challenge the Buddha Tathagata then, accompanied by such a wondrous sight.

Qin Ming unleashed his Yang Earth Fist, instantly shattering the fierce and domineering Heavenly Light. Then, he spat out the Golden Silkworm Force, which, even though it was only three inches away from the body, pierced the man's fist, causing him to bleed profusely.

He Tai was indeed extraordinary. The Heavenly Light Force flowed rapidly around his body, causing violent vibrations. He only suffered slight bleeding from his skin and his bones were not injured.

Outside his body, the Heavenly Light surged and vibrated, already nearly a meter thick, proving that his strength indeed surpassed that of Jiang Congyun and Chen Shuhang.

But he was astonished. Just who was this person? The three-inch-thick Heavenly Light could actually shake his beam of Heavenly Light, which was nearly a meter wide. This was truly unbelievable.

He achieved early success and was praised by many, who believed he possessed the Divine Charm of Young Grandmaster in the field of boxing. This was truly incredible.

He achieved early success and was praised by many, who believed he possessed the Divine Charm of Young Grandmaster in the field of boxing. He had always been quite confident, and now he was going all out.

Qin Ming's fist erupted with Li Fire Force, surrounded by a layer of flames, tearing through the opponent's fist force like a wildfire, actually igniting part of the opponent's Heavenly Light.

"What?!" He Tai was shocked. He activated the Great Ape King Force with all his might, instantly extinguishing the Li Fire Heavenly Light.

Qin Ming moved closer and made physical contact with him again. This time, the Adhesion Force was pushed to the limit, and he pulled over the other's layer of Pure Yang Blood Essence, which was red and crystal clear.

The next moment, Qin Ming attached them all to his armor.

"You..." He Tai's expression changed. He had lost his protection and dared not stay in this place for long. He was about to break out.

Because he already felt unbearably hot, as if he were being consumed by the Heavenly Light.

"Where do you think you're going? You'll get to taste this flavor yourself!" Qin Ming blocked his way, preventing him from leaving.

He Tai's eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly stopped. He knew there was no way to resolve this peacefully. The more he tried to escape, the harder it would be to break free. At this moment, he had no choice but to fight back.

"Let me show you the true Great Ape King Skill!" he said coldly, his heart surprisingly calm. Enduring the scorching pain from the Heavenly Light, he charged towards Qin Ming.

He unleashed the Great Ape King Fist, renowned throughout the Night Mist World, which was truly extraordinary, managing to hold its own against Qin Ming.

His Heavenly Light Force was very special, extremely domineering and masculine, and temporarily withstood Qin Ming's fist light.

"Roar!"

He Tai roared, and the raging ape behind him reappeared, shaking along with him and stirring up endless Heavenly Light, as if it could uproot mountains and split...

The power of Heaven.

With a deafening roar, his Heavenly Light Force easily tore apart some rocks several meters high at the bottom of the giant pit.

He Tai stomped his foot hard, and the crystallized ground cracked open, with many cracks as wide as half a foot.

He seemed to transform into a true Great Ape King, growing stronger with each battle, stirring up the colorful light and mist of the Heavenly Light, as if striking with the power of heaven and earth.

With each punch he threw, terrifying Heavenly Light surged forth, swirling up many stones that floated in mid-air and flew forward with his fist, creating an astonishing spectacle.

Qin Ming became serious and prepared to face his enemy. He did not want to delay any longer. He used the Silk Book Method to control Various Scriptures, and the three great Extraordinary Art and eighteen kinds of energy techniques vibrated and roared continuously.

His entire body radiated a divine aura as he unleashed a powerful right punch, embodying the grandeur and superb skill of a Master!

He Tai's expression changed. Others praised him as a future Master, but he wasn't arrogant. He knew he was far from that level, and even if he had a few glimpses of its Divine Charm, he wasn't quite there yet. But seeing the opponent's fist light and that posture, he felt provoked.

Because he felt that this person truly possessed the demeanor of Young Grandmaster.

He Tai roared and unleashed his full power. The black Great Ape King phantom behind him merged with him, and then, as he threw a punch, the bottom of the giant pit trembled.

With a loud thud, their fists collided.

Qin Ming pierced through the nearly meter-thick Heavenly Light, shattering the Great Ape King Force. Blood splattered everywhere, and He Tai's fist deformed, the sound of bones breaking clearly audible.

"What future Master, what young martial arts expert? Far from it!" Qin Ming commented.

He Tai staggered backward, his body eroded by the Heavenly Light, and his broken finger bone caused him immense pain. He unleashed another terrifying burst of fist light, blasting forward.

This time, Qin Ming didn't fight him head-on. He had already weighed the options and defeated his opponent, so he lost interest and directly swung the Eight Trigrams Furnace in his hand forward.

He Tai's pupils contracted as he realized that his opponent's left hand seemed to have barely moved, which was why they had been fighting for so long. He felt a sense of defeat.

In order to survive, he did not hesitate to damage his own source, unleashing even greater power. The Great Ape King became clearer behind him and pounced out, leaping over his body and heading towards Qin Ming.

Qin Ming swung the Eight Trigrams Furnace and smashed it down, shattering the ferocious and enormous black giant ape phantom with a loud boom.

"Ah..." He Tai cried out in pain, as if his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had left his body and were now being crushed, leaving him in a state of madness.

Qin Ming's expression turned solemn. The Great Ape King Skill was indeed powerful and extraordinary. Just now, a giant ape actually pounced out, which was beyond the scope of normal Cultivation Method.

He realized that this Cultivation Method was actually very powerful, but He Tai hadn't mastered it properly! He Tai went berserk and charged forward.

Qin Ming swung the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and with a bang, smashed half of He Tai's body to pieces. He Tai's mutilated body fell into a pool of blood, screaming in agony.

He was quickly ignited by the Heavenly Light that had already entered his body, and rapidly burned to ashes. A young master had died a tragic death!

The commotion here was so great that it naturally alerted the Beyond-Mundane Disciples at the edge of the giant pit, and many of them saw Immortal Light blooming below.

"The Near Immortal Object has been taken out!" someone shouted.

Some of the Beyond-Mundane Disciples, whose bodies were covered in Pure Yang Blood, quickly swooped down.

"The curtain has been raised." Qin Ming murmured, holding the Near Immortal Object, standing quietly at the bottom of the giant pit.
