The God's Fall Plain are a vast expanse of lush greenery as far as the eye can see, but under the night fog, the endless forest stretches out in a dark, oppressive darkness, devoid of any verdant green.

The trees swayed, their leaves rustling, and a light green mist flowed, enveloping Qin Ming and making him feel as if he were about to rise off the ground, floating forward.

As he moved through the forest, his body was light and agile, enveloped in the Yi Wood Qi, his whole body full of vitality. With each step he traversed a great distance on the grass, as if he were being carried by a green mist.

"The Yi Wood Qi has such a wonderful use." Qin Ming was slightly surprised. This not only saved his strength, but the faint green light also acted like a spiritual medicine entering his body, slowly purifying his flesh and blood and nourishing his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, energy and spirit.

In this environment, he moved with incredible speed, as if riding on the Vegetation Essence, his hair fluttering in the wind, like a Banished Immortal traveling in the night.

In the inky night sky, several scarlet lightning bolts streaked across the sky, like streaks of fire about to fall to the earth.

"Is a downpour coming?" Qin Ming looked up and saw dark clouds churning in the distance, making the already gloomy plain appear even more pitch black.

Several human figures came into view. Qin Ming recognized three of them as people who, like the aliens, had once regarded him as prey and hunted him down.

He swirled in the green mist, changed direction, and trod on the grass, like a forest sprite, silently blending into the environment.

None of the five noticed him immediately, as they were still on their way.

When he was less than two meters away, one of them suddenly turned around, his face showing surprise, and hastily thrust out the long spear in his hand, its cold light gleaming.

With a flick of his right hand, Qin Ming, accompanied by a green glow, turned the spearhead forged from refined iron into shards of metal with his bare hands amidst clanging sounds, which fell to the ground.

It's you!

The group was shocked. This boy, who was wanted by demons and was critically injured, was now filled with the fresh scent of plants and trees, and his strength was incredibly powerful, which made them tremble with fear.

"Who is organizing you to hunt me down?" Qin Ming asked.

A young woman said, "Brother, don't misunderstand. We heard that the demons were fighting over the Silver Heart, and we wanted to snatch it from them, but we didn't expect to run into you."

A middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, brother, we didn't mean to target you at all. We just happened to run into you and were even thinking of helping you, but you misunderstood us and left immediately."

Qin Ming's expression was indifferent. What was the point of such an explanation? Even they themselves felt it was too weak and feeble, and they had already gripped their weapons tightly.

He unleashed a punch, and all the nearby Yi Wood Essence surged forth, causing his fist light to exceed its proper limit. With a boom, the man holding the broken spear and his weapon exploded together.

"Brother, we are both human, you... you can't do this!" the woman cried out, but the gleaming silver knife in her hand suddenly slashed down.

Qin Ming struck out with his palm, shattering her silver longsword into seven or eight pieces. A green palm light flashed, and her head flew off, leaving her headless corpse lying on the ground.

In an instant, the other three attackers were also severely injured, lying on the ground coughing up blood.

"Brother, spare us! We shouldn't have been greedy and joined those demons in killing you," a young man pleaded.

Qin Ming resonated with them spiritually, confirming that it was indeed caused by greed, but he showed no mercy. The Yi Wood Essence beneath his feet surged, blasting them apart.

"It scared me to death! His aura is ethereal and Near-Immortal, but when he gets going, he's more terrifying than a demon!" a Azure Finch muttered to itself, pondering how to report it.

"!"

It exploded, its blue feathers stained with blood, falling through the night sky. Qin Ming sheathed his bow and continued on his way.

Deep in the night sky, a giant White Peacock hovered. A bird flew in from afar and reported, "This mission is too dangerous. We've already lost over a dozen brothers. We don't want to continue. We're no longer responsible for monitoring this area. This isn't a bird's job!"

The God's Fall Plain are no longer so chaotic; most of the ancient demons have returned to their own territories. Only a small group of demons still roam, and they are all formidable figures with considerable power.

Qin Ming spotted the enormous, one-eyed Black Elephant at a glance. Its dark, rough trunk swung, shattering large swathes of trees and crushing many boulders blocking its path.

It was furious; its right eye had been blinded by Jade-Iron Arrow, leaving it with a chilling, single eye. The Old Elephant was now irritable, extremely dangerous, and seeking revenge.

Beside him was a creature of similar size, with two long, snow-white tusks, a body full of muscles, and incredibly strong—it was a Pig Demon.

"Hmm? I smell his scent!" The elephants' sense of smell is even more acute than that of dogs, and the Black Elephant spotted Qin Ming approaching. Of course, this was because Qin Ming hadn't deliberately concealed it, wanting to truly test his skills.

"Same fat heads and big ears, wide mouths and fangs, you two really look alike, except for the difference in the length of your noses! No wonder you're two pig-headed, pig-brained brothers!"

Qin Ming's single sentence caused the expressions of the two enormous creatures to turn cold.

With a deafening roar, the black wild boar charged forward, shaking the earth and sending sand and stones flying. Its powerful impact shattered many trees. However, it didn't charge at Qin Ming; instead, it turned and ran, disappearing into the darkness.

"This is none of my business!" With that one sentence, it carried two short knives sharpened from pig tusks, crashed into the forest, and disappeared completely.

Qin Ming was taken aback. It just ran away like that?

The Black Elephant was furious. This brother was better off gone; he couldn't be relied on in a pinch. Then, it also chickened out, because it could clearly feel the terrifyingly dense Yi Wood Essence emanating from the young man, which made it somewhat apprehensive.

At this moment, Qin Ming was enveloped in green mist, as if he were about to rise up with the clouds, floating lightly with the wind, rapidly approaching it.

The Black Elephant gritted its teeth. Since they had met on a narrow path and there was no way to resolve the situation peacefully, it had no choice but to fight! It let out a bellow that shook the wilderness. The nearby vegetation exploded with the huge sound wave. It swung its trunk and kicked the ground, charging forward, causing the ground to shake violently.

In terms of racial talent, its strength far surpasses Qin Ming's. After all, this behemoth, having evolved to a higher level, possesses unparalleled brute force.

However, once humans cultivate the Heavenly Light Force to a certain level, they can be fearless against giant beasts, like a nail facing a piece of hard wood.

Qin Ming dodged its charge, surrounded by emerald clouds. In a flash, he was on the side of the giant elephant, and his right fist slammed out. The Yi Wood Essence into a blazing light, which burst forth with him.

The Black Elephant howled in agony, staggered around, and nearly collapsed to the ground. A bloody hole appeared in its left rib, and from this center, many terrible blood-red cracks spread out in all directions.

"Where is my Jade-Iron Arrow?" Qin Ming asked.

The Black Elephant was both shocked and furious, and extremely aggrieved. In the eyes of this human boy, it was far less important than an Arrow Feathers. With a soft thud, Qin Ming swung his Jade Iron Saber, severing half of the Black Elephant's trunk. Now it truly looked like a pig's head. "Ah..." The Black Elephant flicked its ear, sending a Jade-Iron Arrow flying, as if it had bowed its head. Then it turned and fled.

Qin Ming intercepted him, forcing the Old Elephant to fight him to the death.

Finally, Qin Ming leaped into the air, unleashing a dazzling blade of light. With all his might, he slashed through the air, and a huge black elephant head crashed to the ground.

The massive corpse fell, blood gushing forth like a fountain.

Qin Ming sympathized with the kind-hearted elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, but how could he possibly let go of this old monster who had almost hunted him to death just because the other party bowed his head once? He should be beheaded. It is most appropriate for an enemy who makes people feel at peace or even willing to remember to die.

Qin Ming traveled silently, capturing several wolf monsters and learning from them the whereabouts of the Black Peng and the Fire Kirin Lion. Crimson lightning flashed across the sky, and a light drizzle began to fall.

In the rain and mist, and in the flashes of lightning, Qin Ming saw a tall, god-like figure wandering across the plain ahead, carrying a bone knife.

It was that ferocious Mountain Ape, whose lifespan was nearing its end. It wanted to find a Silver Blood for its offspring to advance in their cultivation, which was why it lingered there.

It was over ten meters tall, and in the rainy night, when lightning struck, its thick fur shone through, making it look fierce and ferocious.

It saw Qin Ming approaching, and although it sensed the danger, it still grinned. It belonged to the most dangerous old creatures because its lifespan was limited, and it was not afraid of death at all.

When Qin Ming was being chased by it, he was nearly trampled by its giant feet several times, leaving him in a sorry state. Now, he had no words to say, only unleashing a thunderous slash.

In terms of pure strength, he is currently inferior to the Mountain Ape, which is a difference between species. However, his current Heavenly Light Force is not necessarily weaker than the force techniques of Tathagata, Six Sovereigns, and Sky-Pillar.

At least in the New Life Realm, he has caught up!

Even if those Otherworlder from the Big-Foot Ancestral Court had True Teaching on a Sheet of Paper " to practice with, they still couldn't integrate so many techniques. The blade flashed violently, cutting through the rain curtain as if summoning lightning, and struck the Mountain Ape.

It must be said that the Mountain Ape is terrifying. When it swings its eight-meter-long bone knife, it slashes the ground several times, cutting through the soil and rocks, blasting the surface, and shattering trees and hard rocks. Its destructive power is astonishing, and it is about to destroy this mountain forest.

In the rainy night, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Qin Ming wielded the Wind Thunder Force, his entire body crackling with electricity, Wind Force surging beneath his feet. His speed was significantly faster than Seventh New Life, enough to rival races known for their speed.

He circled around the Mountain Ape, his blade flashing and tearing through the night.

He left Dao Injury on the Mountain Ape, and blood mixed with rainwater dripped down.

The Mountain Ape was much stronger than the Black Elephant, a true old demon who had cultivated to the limit of an ordinary Mountain Ape. Its bone blade swept across the night sky, scattering the dense rain curtain, and continuously slashed at the rapidly moving figure of the boy.

Finally, Qin Ming leaped into the air like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the dark rain curtain, and arrived more than ten meters in the air, his entire body enveloped in green mist.

The Yi Wood Essence of the entire forest was mobilized and put to his use. It was as if he were walking in the void. The dazzling light of his blade illuminated the sky and suddenly landed on the Mountain Ape's head. The terrifying Heavenly Light Force burst forth and split its head in two!

The Mountain Ape's split face was extremely ferocious, its fur stained with blood. It released its bone knife, fell backward onto the ground with a loud thud, and the entire forest trembled.

Qin Ming gracefully descended, standing atop the massive tree canopy. Green mist flowed, its vibrant life force rapidly permeating his flesh and blood, nourishing his Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Beneath the dark clouds, he stood atop the treetop, serene and otherworldly, having replenished the power he had just expended.

"If the Yi Wood Scripture is already so miraculous, what about the Abiding World Scripture?" Qin Ming wondered wistfully.

The Yi Wood Scripture is merely a basic part separated from the Abiding World Scripture, yet it is already considered a top-tier Extraordinary Art... How astonishing must the complete manual be!

Qin Ming landed on the ground and walked alone on the God's Fall Plain. He relentlessly slew demons, and those who dared to block his way were all cut down by him! He killed a large number of lesser demons and several old demons, shaking the God's Fall Plain.

At this moment, he had already climbed a large mountain and arrived at Black Peng's "dojo".

He vanquished demons along his path, leaving behind a trail of corpses and bloodstains on the earth.

Dark clouds blanketed the entire plain, and the rain poured down harder and harder, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder that occasionally streaked across the sky above the majestic mountain, illuminating the area.

This "training ground" is spacious and has many magnificent buildings, large enough for a ten-meter-long Black Peng to come and go.

At this moment, it stood on the mountain, letting the rain fall, yet it was impossible to approach. Its entire body was emitting Dark Light, as if distorting space, which was extremely terrifying.

On the other side, the blood hole on the Fire Kirin Lion's forehead had disappeared, and its injuries had long since healed.

They stared at the boy climbing the mountain, both demons' eyes flashing with chilling murderous intent. "Roar!"

A group of Blood Lion roared and charged towards Qin Ming, but he cleaved them in two with a single stroke, leaving their corpses and blood to fall onto the mountainside.

Two of the Blood Lion, which were exceptionally strong and had reached the Outer Saint level, were still unable to withstand Qin Ming's blade light.

During this time, a raptor suddenly attacked from the night sky, swooping down, but Qin Ming swung his sword repeatedly, killing more than a dozen of them, all of them servants of the Black Peng.

"Eldest brother, second brother, he has indeed transformed; his cultivation is unfathomable." The Old Donkey's voice trembled slightly; this time, he was dressed in a scholar's robe.

"It's nothing special, we can handle it!" Fire Kirin Lion said.

Its scales clanged and shone with crimson light, like intense flames burning the night sky and evaporating the ever-increasing rain. Its demonic Yao Qi surged and trembled, shaking the mountain peaks.

It launched its attack directly, a large claw bursting with dazzling crimson light as it slapped towards the boy walking towards it.

Qin Ming also raised his palm, and in an instant, all the plants and trees on the entire mountain rustled and resonated with him. A large amount of green light, accompanied by a rich vitality, surged and lifted him up, as if to float into the air!

He slammed his palm forward.

Instantly, the vegetation on the mountain seemed to shout in response, and the green mist and rosy light surged forth, condensing into a huge green palm print in front of his hand, which then blasted forward!

(There's more to come!)
