Wang Mazi Reappears; Spirit Transformation Old Monster Duanmu Ji

After his battle with the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor, Qin Hao sought out a location and entered the Chaos Bead Space to begin his seclusion.

It had to be said, this Chaos Bead was truly a magnificent treasure.

Not only could it accelerate the flow of time for him, but it also allowed him to hide within its depths.

It was precisely by hiding inside the Chaos Bead Space that Qin Hao had managed to deceive the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor's perception earlier.

Had it not been for the Chaos Bead, he would certainly have been unable to catch his opponent off guard.

Qin Hao sat cross-legged, intending to refine the Sky-Opening Axe, a Pseudo Immortal Treasure, before him.

For any magic treasure, Pseudo Immortal Treasure, or even Immortal Treasure to unleash its full power and be wielded as easily as one's own arm, it had to be re-refined so that one's own Divine Sense Imprint could be left upon it.

"Swish!"

The moment Qin Hao's spiritual sense landed on the Sky-Opening Axe, it was immediately repelled by a force emanating from within.

Having reached the level of a Pseudo Immortal Treasure, the Sky-Opening Axe had clearly birthed an Artifact Spirit.

However, he was not overly concerned, for the one thing he feared least was a spirit entity.

"Extreme Realm!"

Qin Hao let out a cold snort, and his eyes began to surge wildly with Extreme Realm Spiritual Sense.

Streaks of Crimson Lightning could be seen constantly dancing across the surface of the Sky-Opening Axe.

With a detached expression, Qin Hao asked, "Will you submit to me of your own accord, or shall I erase your consciousness and condense a new artifact soul?"

"Hum hum!"

Seemingly sensing the dangerous power within the Extreme Realm Spiritual Sense capable of destroying any spirit entity, the Sky-Opening Axe hesitated for a moment before abandoning its resistance, allowing Qin Hao to refine it.

Given Qin Hao's current cultivation level, it would still take a considerable amount of time to refine it completely.

"Let's see what treasures the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor had in his Storage Bag!"

Taking advantage of this interval, Qin Hao retrieved the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor's Storage Bag and began to inspect its contents.

"Isn't he a bit too poor?"

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he discovered that the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor's Storage Bag contained only a few dozen pieces of Immortal Jade, which was even less than what he possessed himself.

There were over a hundred Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, which was more than he had.

There were few magic treasures, as for the physically formidable Giant Demon Clan, their own bodies were often stronger than ordinary magic treasures.

"This is..."

Qin Hao took out a red Jade Bottle containing half a bottle of blood.

To Qin Hao, this blood felt even more potent than the blood within Lei Ji's body.

Clearly, the Ancient God bloodline contained within it was much more concentrated.

Two other items also caught Qin Hao's attention.

One was a Black Wooden Staff with a cluster of black flames upon it.

Qin Hao sensed that there was an Artifact Spirit within this Black Wooden Staff as well.

However, compared to the Sky-Opening Axe, this magic treasure was far inferior.

This Black Wooden Staff was likely the Giant Demon Clan Old Ancestor's own treasure, and naturally, it could not compare to the Sky-Opening Axe, a Pseudo Immortal Treasure belonging to the Ascension stage cultivator Lei Ji.

The final item was a rusted, mottled Golden Wheel.

Qin Hao injected spiritual power into the Golden Wheel, only to find that his power was repelled instead.

"I won't open this for now!"

Qin Hao put the Golden Wheel away.

Having read the original work, he naturally knew what was inside.

Within this Golden Wheel resided a remnant soul.

That remnant soul was the remnant of the Immortal Remnant Clan Third Ancestor's original human body.

Contained within this remnant soul was the Lustful Intent.

This Lustful Intent was also a means to deal with Liu Mei of the Vermilion Bird Country.

"Now, it is time to raise my cultivation!"

Qin Hao slapped his Storage Bag, took out some Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, and began to absorb the spiritual energy contained within them.

Huofen Kingdom.

War God Temple.

Qin Hao's figure appeared here once again.

By now, his cultivation had already risen to the peak of the early Spirit Transformation stage.

Had his Killing Artistic Conception not failed to break through, Qin Hao could have raised his cultivation to the mid Spirit Transformation stage.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Qin Hao cast his gaze into the distance.

His eyes pierced through the void, catching sight of a streak of Flowing Light frantically rushing toward the War God Temple.

The figure within that Flowing Light was none other than Wang Mazi.

Hovering above Wang Mazi's head was a massive, glowing character: "Execute"!

Trailing closely behind Wang Mazi, an Elder in green robes followed at a leisurely pace.

A Spirit Transformation cultivator—that must be Duanmu Ji!

Qin Hao speculated inwardly.

"Whoosh!"

Soon, Wang Mazi flew into the mountain gates of the War God Temple.

Upon seeing Qin Hao in the sky, he sat down cross-legged without hesitation and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

It seemed he was certain that Qin Hao would step in to assist him.

"The Demon Cultivation Sea truly knows how to temper a person!"

Qin Hao glanced at Wang Mazi and discovered that the man had already reached the Core Formation stage.

He only needed to condense his cultivation core through the Ten Thousand Demons Hundred Day Execution Order to advance to the late stage of Core Formation.

[Ding!]

[Detected the current strongest Artifact Refining Reactor in the War God Temple, rated Ninth-grade. Host has obtained a Tenth-grade Artifact Refining Reactor!]

"A Tenth-grade Artifact Refining Reactor?"

Qin Hao's thoughts stirred.

The Artifact Refining Technique of the War God Temple automatically surfaced in his mind.

This technique had not been created by the founder of the War God Temple; it had been discovered alongside the Divine Dao Art.

According to the records within, the Artifact Refining Reactor was graded from first (lowest) to tenth (highest).

Wang Mazi had encountered a Desolate Beast Skull in the Demon Cultivation Sea and refined it into a Ninth-grade reactor.

Now that Wang Mazi had returned to the War God Temple, it had naturally triggered the system once more.

Duanmu Ji, the Elder in green, made no effort to conceal his aura as he arrived at the War God Temple.

That terrifying Spirit Transformation-level pressure immediately drew the attention of the temple's cultivators.

Numerous Nascent Soul Ancestors appeared, and upon seeing that Qin Hao had returned, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They had previously sensed a Giant Demon Clan Expert suddenly appear and pursue Qin Hao.

It appeared now that Qin Hao had escaped the danger.

Song Ming demanded, "Who are you? Why do you trespass in our War God Temple?"

Duanmu Ji was about to rebuke him when he suddenly caught sight of Qin Hao.

Peak of the early Spirit Transformation stage?

Sensing the other's cultivation, Duanmu Ji's expression shifted slightly. He smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "I am Duanmu Ji, Lord of Seven Plum City in the inner Demon Cultivation Sea. Greetings, Fellow Daoist!"

"Duanmu Ji, Lord of Seven Plum City?"

Upon hearing this name, the several Nascent Soul cultivators all changed color.

The Huofen Kingdom bordered the Demon Cultivation Sea, so they were naturally aware of the situation within.

The Demon Cultivation Sea was filled entirely with bloodthirsty Demonic Cultivators, and the inner sea was even more chaotic and terrifying.

Duanmu Ji was known as the Eight Extremes Demon Lord, which was enough to illustrate just how monstrous his slaughter had been.

"The Eight Extremes Demon Lord, is it?"

Qin Hao asked a question he already knew the answer to, "Why aren't you staying put in the Demon Cultivation Sea? What are you doing here?"

Duanmu Ji pointed at Wang Mazi and said, "I have come here specifically for him!"

Hearing this, the group of Nascent Soul cultivators all turned their eyes toward Wang Mazi.

Judging by his attire, he was clearly a disciple of their War God Temple.

He had actually reached the Core Formation stage.

Most importantly, there was that massive character "Execute" emitting a scarlet Blood Light above his head.

Song Ming exclaimed, "Is this the Ten Thousand Demons Hundred Day Execution Order?"

Such a treasure was extremely rare.

Could it be that a disciple of their War God Temple had killed a descendant of the Eight Extremes Demon Lord?

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions darkened.

"Apologies!"

Qin Hao said indifferently, "This is a member of my War God Temple; it is impossible for me to hand him over to you!"
