At this moment, Qin Feng was gripped by immense terror.
Because this system notification was displayed in a glaring, blood-red color within his Divine Sense.
This color gave off a very ominous feeling!
[Notification: Due to the host failing to fully refine the Spirit Treasures, the hidden marks within them have been triggered!]
Qin Feng gasped, his heart filled with extreme regret.
He had been too hasty!
So it was those four Spirit Treasures!
Di Jun and Taiyi had left marks on them!
Qin Feng felt as if the sky were collapsing and the earth sinking. He had long known that Di Jun and Taiyi were the Demon Emperor and the Demon Sovereign, ruling over the countless billions of the Demon Race across the Primordial World.
Their might was so great that no one in the Primordial World could stand against them; even the twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race could only manage to remain evenly matched with them.
It was over. They must be rushing here at high speed right now.
It was rumored that Quasi-Saint powerhouses could travel hundreds of millions of miles in an instant, or even tear through space to descend directly.
Or they could lock onto him with their Divine Sense and strike from across the void.
As a mere Golden Immortal, he would likely be crushed by a single finger from Di Jun!
Qin Feng gritted his teeth. He had to deal with Bi Fang first.
Bi Fang had already seen his face and sensed his aura. If he were to escape to the Heavenly Court to report this, there would likely be no place left for him in the entire Primordial World!
Having made up his mind, Qin Feng held nothing back, his formidable mana surging forth.
He shot out in an instant.
Although Bi Fang belonged to the Feathered Race and possessed incredible flight speed, Qin Feng had a full eighteen Yuan Cycles of mana, with the foundation of Di Jun's eight hundred thousand years of Quasi-Saint mana to boot.
With no reservations, his speed was blistering.
In the blink of an eye, he could see Bi Fang's figure.
Then ten thousand miles, a thousand miles, a hundred miles—the distance was closing rapidly with every breath!
Sensing that Qin Feng was in pursuit, Bi Fang was struck with panic.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay your step! I have a treasure to gift you!" Qin Feng shouted loudly.
"Hmph, trying to trick me? Do you take me for a fool!" Bi Fang thought disdainfully. Who would ever be willing to give away an Innate Spiritual Treasure?
Then, he accelerated once more.
A strong sense of crisis lingered in Qin Feng's heart as he saw that Bi Fang had no intention of stopping.
Gritting his teeth, he directly sacrificed a spiritual treasure.
Whoosh!
The spiritual treasure transformed into a streak of extreme light, shooting out instantly.
With a blur, it seemed to pierce through layers of the void, striking Bi Fang squarely on the head.
Thud!
Bi Fang felt dizzy and disoriented, his Divine Soul shaken.
His flight speed slowed instantly.
Qin Feng suddenly accelerated, cutting him off directly.
"Fellow Daoist, you are in such a rush. Why not rest for a moment!"
Qin Feng then hurled out his spiritual treasures!
Since they were not fully refined, he was using them as ordinary magical treasures for the moment.
One after another, he threw them out in a frantic cycle.
"Damn it!"
Although Bi Fang was suffering from the fierce attacks, he was still heartbroken!
This was simply a waste of heavenly treasures!
To think he was actually using an Innate Spiritual Treasure just to smash people?
Qin Feng's expression was ferocious. Since I cannot fully activate them, I will smash you to death with these treasures even if I have to!
Even if Bi Fang was powerful, he was only at the Mid Golden Immortal realm.
Even though these Innate Spiritual Treasures were not fully refined, they each contained a trace of true spirit within them.
The moment they were hurled, they would automatically absorb spiritual energy and unleash their power.
Ten spiritual treasures attacked without pause, one after another, and soon Bi Fang could no longer hold on.
In less than a dozen breaths, seven or eight-tenths of Bi Fang's mana had been consumed!
The protective spiritual light was teetering on the brink of collapse!
Qin Feng seized the moment, condensing all his Mana.
He struck out with a ferocious palm!
This palm contained the tyrannical power of a full eighteen eons of Mana!
The void twisted!
Endless pressure spread for tens of thousands of miles.
The mountain peaks within a radius of several thousand feet collapsed instantly!
The intense threat of imminent death filled Bi Fang with terror.
"Fellow Daoist, spare me! I am willing to submit to you and serve as your mount!"
Qin Feng sneered, "I only trust the dead. Besides, I find the idea of riding a bird-man hard to accept!"
"Die!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of crackling, endless explosions roared.
Bi Fang's protective spiritual light shattered inch by inch!
His entire body was slammed from the sky directly into the earth by that single palm.
The remaining force did not diminish, continuing to drive him downward!
In the forest below, countless towering ancient trees within a radius of several miles were pulverized by the shockwave of the pressure!
The surrounding area for thousands of feet was razed to the ground, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation!
Bi Fang was driven deep into a pitch-black fissure hundreds of feet beneath the earth.
His physical body was pulverized, leaving only his Primordial Spirit to escape.
Waves of scorching flames began to brew; clearly, Bi Fang was unleashing his Innate Divine Ability!
Qin Feng sensed Bi Fang's aura and was filled with surprise.
"Oh? Still not dead!"
With a thunderous boom!
He threw a punch!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Bi Fang's Primordial Spirit was crushed directly into dust!
Not a shred of aura remained!
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and flicked his wide sleeve.
An endless burst of flames erupted, incinerating every trace of what had occurred.
Afterward, he unleashed hundreds of punches in rapid succession.
He struck the area until the mountains shook and the ground quaked, causing countless jets of magma to erupt.
Only after the place had been completely transformed into a sea of magma and fire did he depart in a flash.
An incense stick's time later, two streaks of light descended from the sky.
"Hmm? It seems there is a lingering aura of one of our kin."
Taiyi frowned. "Indeed. Based on the fluctuations of the aura, it should be a member of the Demon Race with fire attributes—it looks like Bi Fang!"
"Bi Fang? His strength is sufficient to escape from the hands of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. Could it be that he encountered a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?" Di Jun speculated.
"Let's not worry about that for now. It must be related to those few spiritual treasures; I can still faintly perceive their aura."
"It seems to be heading west. Let us pursue with all haste!"
Following this, Di Jun and Taiyi quickly gave chase in the direction Qin Feng had taken.
At this moment, Qin Feng was flying toward the west while communicating with the system via his Divine Sense.
"Is there any way to resolve this tracking?"
[The host has already left a mark in the River of Time and Space, becoming tainted with the karma of the Primordial World and entangled with the fate of all living beings. To break free completely, you must wait for the system to upgrade to level 5.0!]
[Special Note: If the host does not remove the tracking as soon as possible, once the mark is left in the River of Time and Space, your existence will be detectable throughout the past, present, and future of the Primordial World!]
Qin Feng was instantly dumbfounded. "Huh? What?!!"
"What karma? What River of Time and Space? What does that have to do with me?"
Although the system was mechanical, it clearly could not comprehend Qin Feng's line of thinking.
If it possessed intelligence, it would inevitably feel that he was a lost cause, a case of "you can't polish a turd," and experience a sense of frustration at his lack of ambition!
[Saints are omnipotent; a single thought can reveal all changes. If you do not sever this karma, you will inevitably be exposed!]
Qin Feng immediately perked up. This was a matter concerning his own life—he could not afford to be careless!
"What should I do?"
[The Host may sacrifice their own lifespan to sever the karma they have incurred! This will shield the Host from the probing of the great powers of the Primordial World!]
Qin Feng's eyes lit up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it!"
However, he felt a flicker of suspicion in his heart. Could this black-hearted system be trying to swindle him?
On second thought, he felt much more at ease. After all, at the Golden Immortal realm, his lifespan was infinite.
Let this corrupted system hack and slash away as much as it wants!
If I even blink, I lose!
[Warning! Once the sacrifice begins, the process will be irreversible!]
"Stop nagging and get it done!"
[Ding! Lifespan deduction complete!]
Qin Feng felt a slight ripple in his Divine Soul, but nothing else.
He was slightly puzzled. Is that it?
That cut was so fast?
He took another look at his status panel. "Holy crap!" Qin Feng nearly cursed out loud.
[Quiz Group System (Corrupting)]
Host: Qin Feng Realm: Golden Immortal Lifespan: 16,000 years Shielding duration: 3 years
Qin Feng grumbled and cursed.
Good heavens!
As expected of a corrupted system, it really is ruthless!
One slash took away my infinite, immortal lifespan as a Golden Immortal, leaving me with only 16,000 years?
That's not even enough for a few meditation sessions!
And what the hell is this three-year countdown for the shielding?
Just as he was about to query the system, Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and his spiritual sense flared wildly.
A thick sense of crisis tightly coiled around his heart.
His thoughts raced. With a twitch of his brows, he swiftly changed direction, took a wide detour, and then began to fly slowly toward the east, in the opposite direction.
A few breaths later, he watched with inner trepidation as two figures suddenly appeared directly ahead.
The power of their auras made his heart jump with alarm.
There was no time to wonder who they were; Qin Feng hurriedly calmed his mind.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists!" Qin Feng was incredibly nervous inside, but his expression remained perfectly composed.
Di Jun and Taiyi manifested rapidly, merely nodding slightly.
Clearly, they did not deign to respond to a mere Golden Immortal.
Qin Feng breathed a secret sigh of relief and sensed his surroundings silently.
Three hundred li...
Nine hundred li...
Two thousand li...
Just a few more breaths, and he would surely be completely safe.
Watching Qin Feng, who was about to disappear thousands of li away behind them.
Di Jun slowly came to a halt and spoke indifferently, "Fellow Daoist, please stay your step!"
Though the tone was flat, it made Qin Feng's heart sink to the bottom of a valley.
Damn it!
Could they have seen through his disguise?
Taiyi also stared fixedly at Qin Feng. "Fellow Daoist, why the rush?"
Di Jun's eyes flashed with a cold glint, as if he had seen through Qin Feng's facade. "Fellow Daoist? You are but a lowly Golden Immortal; how dare you address us as fellow Daoists?"
