Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor's Demise; Obtaining Pseudo Immortal Treasure

High above the sky.

Qin Hao was moving forward, and with every step he took, his entire body would teleport over a thousand miles.

The main reason he had come to the sky was that he did not want the battle between the two of them to cause any damage to the ground below.

Just as Qin Hao was about to teleport again, the void in front of him suddenly twisted.

A massive palm emerged from within, its texture distinct, the fingerprints resembling winding riverbeds. Immortal Power flowed within it, descending like a blanket that covered the sky, accompanied by a purple-black vortex that felt like a world-ending millstone.

"Swish!"

Qin Hao immediately retreated rapidly and summoned the Rice Grain once more.

However, before the Rice Grain could release its ice-blue light, it was swallowed whole by the purple-black vortex.

"Nine Nether Yellow Springs Flame!"

Seeing this, Qin Hao formed a seal with his right hand and pointed sharply forward.

"Boom!"

The Ice Attribute Extreme Realm Spiritual Power within his body transformed frantically, turning into a cluster of deep blue flames.

Eerily, these flames did not radiate heat, but rather a power of extreme frigidity.

At this moment, with the appearance of the ice flames, even the clouds in the sky were frozen into blocks of ice.

As soon as the flames appeared, under Qin Hao's control, they transformed into a giant ice-blue fire dragon.

The giant dragon opened its blood basin mouth and collided with the incoming palm.

"Rumble!"

High in the sky, the violent sound of the collision roared and echoed between heaven and earth, sounding like thunderclaps, deafening to the ears.

The two forces of deep blue and pitch black were boundlessly terrifying. In their confrontation, they stirred up a power as majestic as a landslide or a tsunami, blasting cracks into the void itself.

The black Annihilation Wind blew away everything in the sky, only dissipating after a long while.

"Blue Ice Flash, Yellow Springs Ice Flame... and the cold-attribute spiritual power cultivated from the Yellow Springs Ascending Aperture Art!"

The Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor stepped forward, his gaze icy as he said, "You are not from the Soul Refining Sect, but from the Yellow Springs Sect!"

The Yellow Springs Sect was a sect within a Level 5 Cultivation Nation on the Vermilion Bird Continent.

This sect had fallen into decline, but in the past, it had once been the second most powerful force on the Vermilion Bird Star, trailing only the Vermilion Bird Country.

The reason for this was that the Yellow Springs Sect had been founded by the Second Generation Vermilion Bird, Situ Nan.

The Third Generation Vermilion Bird had betrayed Situ Nan to experts from beyond the realm, leading to Situ Nan perishing together with those foreign experts.

After Situ Nan disappeared, the Yellow Springs Sect was also ruthlessly suppressed by the Third Generation Vermilion Bird.

By now, the strongest person in the Yellow Springs Sect, much like the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor, was only at the Early Infant Transformation stage.

The Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor possessed a trace of Ancient God bloodline and a formidable physical body, so his combat power surpassed that of the current ancestor of the Yellow Springs Sect.

If it had been the Soul Refining Sect, the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor might have felt a shred of apprehension, but since the opponent was from the Yellow Springs Sect, the last bit of hesitation in his heart vanished completely.

"Roar!"

The Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor let out a furious roar, his body expanding once again, growing from a dozen zhang to several dozen zhang in height.

The Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor now resembled a savage Giant Spirit God, his entire body surging with blood energy, filled with a sense of oppression.

That terrifying aura made countless cultivators and mortals below tremble uncontrollably and kneel on the ground.

The Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor gripped his hands tightly, and a Sky-Opening Great Axe instantly appeared in his grasp.

"Brat, this axe was left behind by the Progenitor of my Giant Demon Clan. It is a Pseudo Immortal Treasure. Back then, he wielded this axe to slay three Early-stage Asking Peak cultivators in succession. To perish under this axe is enough for you to die with a smile!"

"Rip!"

The Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor swung the Sky-Opening Great Axe down violently. The blood-colored axe light was indestructible, tearing the sky apart. The roaring sound echoed incessantly, as if it were refining the earth, water, fire, and wind to recreate the world itself.

"As expected of a Pseudo Immortal Treasure, it is truly terrifying!"

Qin Hao once again utilized the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Flame to defend.

However, when faced with the Sky-Opening Axe light, the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Flame offered no resistance and was sliced straight through.

Following that, the axe light landed on Qin Hao without obstruction.

There was no terror on Qin Hao's face; instead, he revealed a hint of mockery and disdain.

"Not good, I've fallen for a diversionary tactic!"

The Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor's expression changed drastically. After the axe light fell, the Qin Hao before him had actually turned into a wisp of cloud and smoke, dissipating into the world.

Clearly, the Qin Hao before him was a fake, condensed from a divine ability, not his true self.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, a heaven-shocking Sword Light appeared from behind the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor.

It carried the power to shatter the world as it slashed toward the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor.

It was the Slaying Luo Art!

This strike appeared at the perfect moment.

The Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor had just expended his Immortal Power to unleash a strike with the Pseudo Immortal Treasure, the Sky-Opening Great Axe, when this sword light arrived.

At this precise juncture, the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor had no time to mobilize his Immortal Power again to launch a second strike.

"Innate Divine Ability!"

The Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor let out a low roar, veins bulging all over his body as if he were enduring unimaginable agony.

"Rumble!"

A massive vortex suddenly manifested behind him, spinning incessantly.

In an instant, a terrifying suction force surged forth from within.

Clearly, the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor intended to use his clan's innate divine ability to counter the Slaying Luo Art unleashed by the Qin Hao Main Body.

"Sshhh!"

However, that innate divine ability, which was capable of teleporting other cultivators away, was sliced clean in half the moment it touched the sword light of the Slaying Luo Art, vanishing instantly.

"Ah!"

Following this, the remaining momentum of the Slaying Luo Art landed upon the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor, causing his massive body to collapse in an instant and transform into a mist of blood.

The Slaying Luo Art could even sever the laws of heaven and earth, so naturally, it could slay the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor.

Only the Pseudo Immortal Treasure in the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor's hand and his Storage Bag remained.

The fact that the Storage Bag survived was naturally due to Qin Hao's control.

"Whoosh!"

Without anyone to wield them, the Pseudo Immortal Treasure Sky-Opening Great Axe and the Storage Bag immediately plummeted toward the ground.

Qin Hao hurriedly teleported forward and caught them in his hands.

"For now, I have gained yet another weapon!"

As Qin Hao held the Sky-Opening Axe, streaks of blood-red light surged from the axe head and seeped into his body, causing his black hair to dance without wind and his aura to climb frantically.

At this moment, Qin Hao's temperament changed drastically; it was as if by gripping this giant axe, he had transformed into someone else entirely.

Qin Hao felt unprecedentedly powerful, as if he could split the heavens and earth with a single swing.

"With this Pseudo Immortal Treasure, even without using the Slaying Luo Art, I should be able to severely wound an ordinary Early Infant Transformation cultivator!"

A Pseudo Immortal Treasure was a divine weapon second only to an Immortal Treasure.

Unlike Immortal Treasures, which could only be activated using Immortal Power, Pseudo Immortal Treasures could be driven by both spiritual power and Immortal Power.

It could be said that this was perfectly suited for the current Qin Hao.

If he were given a true Immortal Treasure, Qin Hao would be unable to use it.

However, a Pseudo Immortal Treasure still required Immortal Power to unleash its true strength.

Yet, Qin Hao's Extreme Realm Spiritual Power was at the absolute pinnacle of spiritual energy, and it was in no way inferior to Immortal Power.

Therefore, when he used his Extreme Realm Spiritual Power to wield the Pseudo Immortal Treasure, the effect was close to the power of an Infant Transformation Stage expert using Immortal Power.
