Earth World Domain, Building Connections!
Yellow sand rolled in, and the air was thick and heavy.
The principle of Earth is divided into many major principles. The Five Elements are an important part of the universe, and each of these principles can be further divided into many smaller branches...
This is the Earth World Domain.
Qin Lu could sense, with a slight effort, the seven Great Dao powers: [Raging Sand], [Thick Earth], [Jade Stone], [Black Rock], [Luan Mountain], [Earth Marsh], and [Desolate Breath]...
at this time--
Qin Lu was completely unaware of Gu Xuanzhen and the other two; the Raging Sand Dao Law here clearly blocked his Divine Sense from probing...
They intended to tear apart the space and move it, but the surrounding space had obviously been specially treated, making it impossible to break through the space normally!
"The power of the Earth Dao, enhanced within space, seems to have locked down spatial abilities; we can only wait for the time to arrive and it will teleport on its own..."
Qin Lu muttered to himself--
As soon as he turned around, a tubular Demon Beast burst through the desert and revealed its serrated, rotating mouthparts towards Qin Lu!
Its size is so great that you can't see the end of it at a glance!
Compared to such a behemoth, Qin Lu was like a grain of rice...
"The Ghost Fire' -the-wisp is yours."
Qin Lu glanced at it but ignored it. A low-grade Fourth-Tier Low-Grade sandworm Demon King with low intelligence wasn't even worthy of his attention...
With a single, casual remark, a wisp of Nether Fire instantly erupted from Qin Lu's body!
In an instant--
Ghost Fire Ghost King appeared behind Qin Lu, his ghostly blue flames slowly burning, wielding Crimson Flame Gilded Sword, resembling a war god!
The enormous sword was carried on his shoulder.
The next moment, the giant sword slashed down, ghostly flames coiling around its blade, and a Nether Fire instantly enveloped the sky...
Under the intense heat, even space itself was distorted, and the yellow sand instantly crystallized!
The ghostly blue flames burn flesh and blood, consuming even the soul!
Faced with the overwhelming Nether Fire, the giant sandworm was instantly engulfed, and then fell with a single slash from the Crimson Flame Gilded Sword...
Its thousand-foot-tall body instantly cracked inch by inch!
It gradually split in two from the middle, blood staining the earth red, but was then extinguished by Nether Fire, leaving behind the aroma of roasted meat...
It spread across the land!
The Ghost Fire Ghost King dug out its Demon Core, wiped it clean, and then came before Qin Lu, bowing respectfully on one knee...
He held the Demon Core core up to Qin Lu's eyes.
Qin Lu glanced at it, casually accepted it, and didn't even look at the sand demon's corpse, clearly looking down on it...
"You can dispose of the body; leave the less valuable parts behind..."
Upon hearing this—
The Ghost Fire Ghost King nodded slightly, then collected the Sand Demon's blood, refined its Essence Blood, and then took the most valuable parts of the corpse—the skin and teeth...
These crafting tools and talisman-making techniques are somewhat useful, but the rest—flesh and blood—are of very low value and slow to process...
It's naturally not something Qin Lu should worry about too much.
Then, flesh and blood, along with the remnant soul, were refined into snacks by the Ghost Fire Ghost King...
After finishing everything, Qin Lu dusted off his clothes, retracted the Ghost Fire Ghost King, and transformed into a streak of light, flying away into the distance...
Soon after--
Several Core Formation Cultivator appeared at the spot, collecting the remaining scraps—scraps that Qin Lu didn't even want...
In the eyes of the group of Core Formation Cultivator, this was considered a treasure.
Even if it's just scraps of flesh, it's still the flesh and blood of Demon King, which can strengthen the bodies of non-physical cultivators like them...
This is also why a large number of Core Formation Cultivator risk their lives to enter the Immortal Palace.
Picking up scraps that Nascent Soul Nascent Soul wouldn't even consider, or gathering rare Spirit Plant spirit medicine, wouldn't that be a fortuitous opportunity for them?!
In the blink of an eye—a thousand miles away.
Qin Lu slowly revealed himself, his expression slightly grave. His escape speed seemed to have slowed down, but something felt off...
"It's not that my escape speed has slowed down..."
"This realm is infinitely expanding and contracting, shrinking by thousands of miles, the Great Dao of Earth Marsh enhancing the space of this realm..."
Qin Lu frowned, clearly not expecting this realm to be so troublesome!
Fellow Daoist!
"I can't believe we've met again so soon!"
A voice came from all directions, and when Qin Lu turned around, he saw a young man who looked like a scholar...
Slowly walking through the air, it was none other than the True Lord Huangyang came from the Eastern Wasteland!
The Huang Yang gently fanned itself with its precious fan, and though it moved extremely slowly, it arrived in front of Qin Lu in the blink of an eye; its speed would extend, and its movement would retract...
"It seems Fellow Daoist Huang has already broken through the limitations of this realm. You are truly a man of great talent."
"Ah, fellow Daoist, you are too modest."
"I, Huang, merely possess a rudimentary understanding of Earth Marsh, a trivial skill. How dare I flaunt it before you, fellow Daoist? Compared to you..."
"Huang, you're way off by a hair's breadth!"
Huang Yang Qin Lu, after exchanging pleasantries and mutual flattery, actually narrowed the distance between them considerably, at least for now...
The two of them lowered their guard a little.
Then, Huang Yang briefly explained to Qin Lu how to break through the restrictions of this realm, as a gesture of goodwill, given his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation...
Even if Huang Yang didn't tell him, Qin Lu only needed to ponder it a little to break through the limitations.
Huang Yang's actions were nothing more than an attempt to curry favor and build rapport, but what Huang Yang valued most was...
It's a kind of aura!
That was a special aura that only half-demons could sense...
The two then traveled together, exploring the depths of the realm. Along the way, they chatted idly, cautiously probing each other...
Until Huang Yang asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, are you a half-demon?"
Qin Lu neither agreed nor denied, but seemed to be talking to himself:
Does being yes or no affect what kind of person you become?
"Whether you're a half-demon or a human, it's just a symbol. Ultimately, it's your actions that determine what you truly are..."
Upon hearing this—
Huang Yang pondered for a moment, then suggested, "Fellow Daoist is a magnanimous person. I observe that you are no ordinary person..."
"Furthermore, given our shallow cultivation levels, we are clearly the weaker and most passive party in this great struggle..."
"Why don't we two secretly support each other?"
"The Northern Continent and the Eastern Wasteland are far apart, and their interests do not interfere with each other, but their common enemy is those beings in the Central Lands..."
"On this point, we are natural allies."
That's all I have to say.
Qin Lu glanced at Huang Yang. This kid looked refined and scholarly, but he was full of wicked schemes...
Qin Lu smiled, showing no aversion; he could tell at a glance that this kid was one of his kind!
Huang Yang smiled wickedly at Qin Lu.
He immediately understood; he was always very accurate in judging people. This Qin Lu was clearly no good; that demonic nature of his...
It's too heavy!
Strictly speaking, there wasn't a particularly powerful demonic force in the entire Northern Nether Domain, but the emergence of the Great Qin Ancient Kingdom clearly filled a gap in the demonic forces...
It lacks the shortcomings of Nascent Soul True Lord!
