This is not Qi Ling exaggerating. It may seem that Xue Qinghe has only polluted this one place, but in reality, his power is too terrifying. Once it is unleashed, it will be impossible to stop.
Therefore, even Qi Ling couldn't think of a better way to stop Xue Qinghe. The only thing he could do was to prevent his power from spreading.
"This is troublesome. If this was all Qian Xunji's scheme, then that guy is truly despicable," Qi Ling said while fending off Xue Qinghe's attacks.
"Little brother, what do you mean by this? What did Qian Xunji do?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.
"Although I don't know what Qian Xunji is planning, since he's willing to turn Xue Qinghe into this state to achieve his goal, he must be plotting something big," Qi Ling said.
"That seal, besides being meant to protect me, probably also served the purpose of sealing Xue Qinghe here! Now that the seal has been broken, we must find a way to get rid of Xue Qinghe."
"But little brother, do you have any good ideas to solve this?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Not yet. This guy's regenerative ability is beyond imagination; it's not something a normal creature could possess," Qi Ling said helplessly. "More importantly, I can sense that we can't easily unleash overly powerful attacks on him, otherwise, something very bad will definitely happen."
Qi Ling felt this way because he could sense an extremely uncomfortable force emanating from beneath Xue Qinghe's enormous and disgusting body, within the entire concealed pit.
This power does not belong to any world that Qi Ling knows, and it is precisely this power that has turned Xue Qinghe into what he is now.
If he were to suffer a severe attack, it could potentially destabilize this power, which might be Qian Xunji wanted. As for what exactly would happen, Qi Ling couldn't guess for the time being.
Just then, Qi Ling suddenly frowned, because from among Xue Qinghe's countless tentacles, a little devil with skin and bones, sharp teeth and claws, seemed to be struggling to crawl out from below.
Qi Ling had never seen such a creature before, and the power it possessed was exactly the same as the power that Qi Ling had just sensed, a power that did not belong to this world.
"Sister, A Xue, be careful, I'm going to catch that guy!" Qi Ling said at this moment, because he felt that the key to everything seemed to lie with this little brat.
After navigating through the encirclement of countless tentacles, Qi Ling quickly approached the brat, who seemed to want to attack her again, but unfortunately, she was not strong enough.
As the opponent's attack reached her, Qi Ling extended her Demon God Halberd and thrust it at them, piercing them through. Then, she impaled the halberd on her own Demon God Halberd and brought it back.
"Sister, A Xue, let's leave here for now and come back when we've come up with a plan!" Qi Ling said to the two of them. "I have a way to temporarily seal this guy away."
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue both nodded, and then retreated outside with Qi Ling. As they walked, the little devil that Qi Ling had impaled on the Demon God Halberd was still struggling, seemingly trying to break free.
After the three of them came outside, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong exerted their power simultaneously, and golden and silver light surged throughout the cave entrance, severing all the pursuing tentacles.
At that moment, Qi Ling waved her hand and closed the door. Then, she bit her finger and redrawn the seal on top of it.
Although Qi Ling couldn't replicate that magical seal, by adding his own Demon God power and a portion of the seal's remaining essence, it could temporarily function, but only for a maximum of three days.
Within three days, Qi Ling and the others must come up with a way to completely eliminate Xue Qinghe; otherwise, once that power is unleashed, the entire world will be plunged into crisis.
"Let's go, sister, A Xue. This matter is probably not something that can be resolved by just a few people." Qi Ling looked at the little devil on her Demon God Halberd, and a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.
Without any hesitation, the three immediately began their operation. Although there were still three days left, every minute and every second was incredibly precious.
So the three of them first returned to Dragon's Glory City, gathered everyone still in Dragon's Glory City together, and then explained what they had seen in the underground palace.
Everyone looked at the little brat that Qi Ling had brought back. Although they didn't know what had happened, the fact that Qi Ling was so serious about it clearly meant that it was of great importance.
Just then, the only one among the crowd who might have more knowledge than Qi Ling, the Dragon Maiden, slowly walked up to the little brat and also fell into deep thought.
" Dragon Maiden, do you recognize this thing? What is its origin?" Qi Ling couldn't help but ask.
"I'm just guessing, because this is the first time I've ever seen something like this; I've only heard about it before," the Dragon Maiden said. " Qi Ling, you're right. This thing doesn't come from the Devil Realm Divine Realm, or Douluo Continent, but from another world—the ' Underworld '!"
" The Underworld?" Qi Ling was taken aback. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a place; he had no idea it existed.
"It's normal that you don't know, because logically speaking, you shouldn't have any connection with this place," the Dragon Maiden said. "It's unlike any other world; it's a world filled with despair, bloodshed, and slaughter!"
"There, there are no other creatures, only one race: the Ghost Clan! And all they do is kill and devour each other to become stronger."
"No one knows how this world came to be, but the number of the Ghost Clan seems to never decrease. No matter how many Ghost Clan disappear each day, more Ghost Clan are always born the next day."
"Therefore, no one wants to be associated with such a world, not even the Divine Realm and Devil Realm. Qian Xunji has truly made an extreme decision."
Qi Ling frowned and said, "This... could it be that Qian Xunji went to the Underworld to take revenge on me? But if that's the case, why is Xue Qinghe in this state?"
"Going to the Underworld isn't that simple," the Dragon Maiden shook her head and said. "With the power of just the two of them, it's simply impossible."
"So, the only possibility is that some being in the Underworld made contact with them! And after offering some kind of sacrifice, they worked together to open a passage between the two sides, which is why this little devil came to this world," the Dragon Maiden said.
"Therefore, I estimate that the reason Xue Qinghe has become like this is because he was one of the sacrifices made by Qian Xunji! Now, he seems to be the gateway connecting the Underworld and the Douluo World, and he is using his special power to continuously erode the passage, making it wider so that more powerful beings in the Underworld can pass through this gateway."
"If that's the case, then this is a very bad situation." Qi Ling said with a frown, "According to what you said, Dragon Maiden, this kind of brat should only be the lowest level existence in this world."
"But although this guy is weak, he possesses an astonishing vitality and hasn't died yet, which is truly amazing."
"If the passage between the Underworld and the Human Realm is opened, and the Ghost Clan invades, there will inevitably be widespread suffering. Therefore, we must stop Qian Xunji's conspiracy."
