At that moment.
BOOM!
A massive roar sounded.
The sound wasn’t coming from this space.
It was from the outside world.
Realizing this,
Hu Qi snapped out of his thoughts.
He spared a single glance at the corpse on the ground.
Then, he turned to Jin Ling’Er and Hong Yuan.
"I’m heading out. You two just stay put and absorb the power of the Dragon Transformation Spring!"
Hu Qi said casually.
"Big Brother, why don’t you stay here too? The outside..."
Jin Ling’Er said, her voice laced with worry.
But before she could finish,
Hu Qi took a single step and vanished on the spot.
"Little Sister, Big Brother has already reached the Demon Immortal Realm. There’s almost nothing in this world that can threaten him.
We should enter the Dragon Transformation Spring and undergo Dragon Transformation. Once we’re stronger, we’ll be able to help Big Brother more effectively!"
Hong Yuan said in a low voice, gazing in the direction Hu Qi had disappeared.
"I suppose that’s our only choice."
Jin Ling’Er nodded.
...
「Outside.」
The moment Wang Zhiyuan died, the thread of fate that belonged to him suddenly snapped.
Instantly, a world-shattering thunderclap exploded across the heavens!
Seeing this, a sense of foreboding washed over Yuqing Zi, who was hidden off to the side.
Without a second thought, his fingers began to move rapidly, as if he were divining something.
However, the very next second, his face turned deathly pale. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his expression instantly withered.
Before anyone could ask what was wrong, they saw the panic on his face.
"This is bad! Wang Zhiyuan is dead!"
The words had barely left his lips when an uproar erupted all around.
"What!?"
"How is that possible?!"
Everyone was utterly shocked.
The Head of the Celestial Righteous Institute and the Abbot of Jue’an Temple were no exception.
Upon hearing the news, they too attempted a divination.
They also coughed up blood, suffering from the backlash.
But the result was the same: Wang Zhiyuan was dead.
Realizing this, the two of them completely lost their usual composure.
Wang Zhiyuan, one of the six chosen for the tribulation, was a fated Immortal. And now he was dead? What kind of joke was this? Ever since the Immortal Court was established, under the great net of fate, destiny had been absolute. It had never once been changed, yet now...
"Everyone, let’s work together to break the Restriction first."
Yuqing Zi spoke up.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the golden pillar of light, which was growing dimmer with each passing moment.
’The most important thing right now is to find out how Wang Zhiyuan died and who killed him. Otherwise, when the Immortals from the Upper Realm come to assign blame, none of us will escape unscathed.’
The others clearly understood this as well.
Just as everyone was about to make their move,
BUZZ!
The golden pillar of light suddenly trembled.
Then,
a figure bathed in a faint white glow materialized from within it.
The instant this figure appeared,
everyone, from the ordinary members of the Demon Race to the Demon Saints, and even the Great Cultivators of the Divinity Transformation Realm, was frozen in place.
Like insects trapped in amber, they couldn’t move a single inch.
"No, this aura... It’s a Banished Immortal?!"
Yuqing Zi’s eyes were locked on the figure. He tried to struggle, but he couldn’t move at all.
Hearing this, the Head of the Celestial Righteous Institute, the Abbot of Jue’an Temple, and the Supreme Elders felt their hearts tremble violently.
As high-ranking members of the Three Great Immortal Sects, their knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary Loose Cultivators and the Demon Race.
With a single glance, they recognized the aura emanating from the man.
At that moment, they finally understood why their divination had resulted in a backlash.
’There was only one possibility: the one who killed Wang Zhiyuan was this very Immortal.’
’But why would he do such a thing?’
As for their questions,
Hu Qi obviously had no intention of answering.
His gaze swept over the surroundings.
The next second,
the First Layer of the Gorging Domain instantly spread out.
PUFF!
Everyone’s vision went black as they instantly lost all consciousness.
The vast number of Demon Race and Human Race Cultivators surrounding the area were all enveloped by the Gorging Domain and consumed without a trace.
Only faint wisps of dark red blood drifted outward, staining the surrounding lake water crimson.
Modification Points +106 (21%)
Modification Points +519 (15%)
...
Dense lines of crimson text flashed before his eyes as the number of Modification Points climbed rapidly.
At the same time, the essence within Hu Qi’s body was also accumulating at a rapid pace, approaching a critical point.
BOOM!
Just then,
a deafening roar erupted.
Hu Qi snapped his head up and looked toward the sky.
