Chapter 408 Blood Sacrifice
The instant the Seven Wonders Treasure Tree appeared in the world.
The major markets around the Five Elements Mountain Range, as well as within the Immortal City.
Countless Cultivators, as if by prior agreement, simultaneously raised their heads to look at the sky, all of them utterly speechless with shock at such a sudden and grand Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.
"Quickly look! It's the direction of the Five Elements Mountain Range, could it be that a Treasure has appeared?"
"With such a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, I'm afraid it's an Ancient Ruins that has emerged."
"My heavens! What kind of Spirit Plant Cultivation is this? It's about to pierce through the Sky, isn't it?"
"Could it be on that Fourth-Order Spirit Vein occupied by Divine Path Mountain and Fire Palace?"
"I was wondering why there were so many people in Five Elements Mountain Market recently, so they were all rushing here for a Fated Chance."
"Brothers, what are you all waiting for?"
"Such a Heaven-sent divine anomaly, there must be a great Fated Chance appearing in the world."
"The Great Sects eat meat, we should at least get to drink some soup!"
"Fellow Daoist speaks truly, I am at the Fourth Layer of Qi Condensation Realm, and I am skilled in lock-picking, are there any like-minded Cultivation friends willing to team up and go?"
"..."
In an instant, the entire Cultivation World was in an uproar.
The news of a Heaven-Reaching Treasure Tree appearing in the Five Elements Mountain Range of the Great Jin Southern Region spread like a hurricane, sweeping across the Cultivation World.
Almost causing everyone to know about it.
After all, with such a huge commotion, Divine Path Mountain and the Demonic Path could not hide it even if they wanted to.
Within the Five Elements Mountain Spirit Field.
Qin Ming had just finished harvesting the Spirit Rice in the field and also saw this scene.
Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the Spirit Farmers in the Spirit Field had never seen such a shocking spectacle, and each of their faces revealed expressions of horror.
Qin Ming raised his head and gazed at the Seven Wonders Treasure Tree in the Sky, and saw that the Treasure Flowers on the seven branches had already fully bloomed.
"I didn't expect it to come so quickly…"
Li Lan was also gazing at the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Tree that blotted out the sun, blooming with a dazzling Rosy Light, his entire being immersed in shock.
After a long while.
He regained his senses, and tremblingly asked Qin Ming, "Shopkeeper Lu, what do you think this… what rank of Spirit Plant is this?"
"This is the Seven Wonders Treasure Tree, said to be a Fourth-Order Top Grade Spirit Plant, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it's more than that," Qin Ming pondered.
"Ah? How could such a divine tree appear in this place?" Li Lan asked, falling into shock once again upon hearing this.
"Then we, what should we do?"
Qin Ming turned his head to him and said, "I've already arranged for a Magic Ship, you return to Spirit Ruins Market directly and take everyone to evacuate."
"The Teleportation Array of Five Elements Mountain Market is definitely unusable now, you can only take a Magic Ship to Central Province."
"With such Ruins appearing, even if there is a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, it is not something we can covet, no need to think too much about other things."
"Yes! I respectfully obey Shopkeeper's instructions!" Li Lan bowed deeply, and immediately followed Qin Ming's arrangements, leading the Spirit Farmers under his command to directly pack up their things and begin to evacuate.
Qin Ming glanced at this Spirit Field with fertile soil, and murmured, "It's about time for me to leave as well, I hope the Merchant Ship heading to the Southern Wastelands Cultivation World can still depart normally."
As for these two hundred acres of Spirit Field, he had also asked Hua Tianxiong to help him handle the transfer.
Qin Ming's thoughts turned, and immediately put away the Protective Formation around the Spirit Field, transforming into an Azure Rainbow and leaving this place.
Flying towards the direction of Spirit Ruins Market.
…
Underground of the Five Elements Mountain Range.
The people of Divine Path Mountain, Yin Demon Sect, and Blood Forging Demon Gate, as well as Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint, they had absolutely not expected that the Blooming of the Seven Wonders Treasure Tree would cause such a Celestial Phenomenon.
Directly exposing the secret of the Ancient Azure Origin Sect Secret Realm to the entire Cultivation World.
The Contention that would be attracted at that time was already unavoidable.
Exalted Person Wan Gu's gaze was sinister and gloomy, his face dark, the lips under his hooked nose wriggling, and he said in a hoarse voice, "What do you Cultivation friends think? Now that things have changed, those Old Guys from the Path Protector Alliance will definitely rush over as well."
"So what if they know? We'll just have a Battle if it comes to that, what This Seat is concerned about now is, the Seven Wonders Treasure Tree has already Bloomed, why has the Secret Realm of Azure Origin Sect not opened yet?"
The one speaking was a gaunt Old Man in a grey robe, his eyes turbid, and a chilling aura emanating from all around him, making people feel cold to the bone!
This person was one of the two Nascent Soul Old Demons of Yin Demon Sect, Profound Yin Old Demon.
As his voice fell, Blue Ice Saintess of Blood Forging Demon Gate standing next to him, coldly said, "It should be that the Flesh and Blood Essence of the Cultivators in the Sacrificial Ritual is still a bit short of the Treasure Flower fully opening."
"Heh heh heh! Then this matter can be left to This Seat, I most enjoy listening to the miserable howls of you Human Clan Cultivators when they are dying." Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint's black feather robe fluttered without wind, opening his mouth to reveal a bloodthirsty smile.
"You all wait for a moment, This Seat will go and get some, and it will also dispel the thoughts of those secretly coveting to get a share of the pie."
Immediately, Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint transformed into a black shadow, instantly disappearing into the Underground.
The Underground World in darkness, once again fell into silence.
…
Within Spirit Ruins Market City, it was already in utter chaos, simply a scene of utter pandemonium.
Some Cultivators, upon seeing the Phenomenon appear, became blinded by greed, completely disregarding their lives, and continuously flew outwards, heading towards the direction of the Seven Wonders Treasure Tree.
There were also quite a few who maintained a wait-and-see attitude, wanting to watch the excitement.
There were also those with clear heads, seeing the situation was bad, directly activated the run-away mode, fearing they couldn't avoid it fast enough.
And Qin Ming was also one of the many in the army of runaways.
After Qin Ming saw Li Lan and the others off, according to Han Yuan's previous directions, he arrived at the Port outside the Market where large Merchant Ships docked.
After some inquiries and asking around, he arrived at the Position where Brocade Heaven Commerce Company's 'Heavenly Wave' was located.
Fortunately, even though it was chaotic and turbulent outside, this Magic Boat heading to the Southern Wastelands Cultivation World was still departing normally.
This immediately made Qin Ming breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, under Brocade Heaven Commerce Company, there were already quite a few Cultivators lined up in long queues, beginning to verify their Status and board the ship in order.
The Port where the Magic Ship docked was not only Heavily Guarded by Cultivators from the Defenders of the Dao Alliance, but there were also Cultivators from Brocade Heaven Commerce Company patrolling, extremely strict.
Qin Ming transformed into Shopkeeper Lu's appearance, and lined up at the Rear of the crowd, waiting to board the ship.
Half a day later.
After thousands of Cultivators boarded the ship, it was finally his turn.
Qin Ming handed the Pass Token in his hand to the guard in charge of patrol.
He passed through the Detection Array, and after the Token check, the guard captain returned the Token in his hand to Qin Ming, and then was just about to let him board the ship.
But just at this moment.
An odd and sarcastic voice came over.
"Hold on!"
"Oh! Isn't this Shopkeeper Lu of Mirror Snow Pavilion?"
"Does your Mirror Snow Pavilion not have its own Merchant Ship? You still need to take This Sect's."
Lu Huayuan, whom he had seen at the Su Family previously, looked at Qin Ming with a face full of mockery.
Qin Ming cursed inwardly at his bad luck, unexpectedly running into this person again here.
If it weren't for not wanting to expose his identity, he would have subdued him on the spot and used him as fertilizer for the Thunder Origin Demon Date.
Although Lu Huayuan was as cowardly as a grandson in front of Hua Tianxiong, he didn't really take a Force from outside seriously. "You want to board the ship? No way, even if you have a Pass Token signed by the Defenders of the Dao Alliance, so what?"
"This Merchant Ship is under my jurisdiction, I suspect your motives are impure, and you are suspected of spying on Trade Secret, boarding is not permitted."
Lu Huayuan looked at Qin Ming with a sinister smile, seemingly regaining the face he had lost at the Su Family.
Qin Ming's gaze was as gloomy as water, just as he was preparing to use Illusion Arts on him.
Suddenly! Swish! The Expression on his face abruptly changed! Powerful Divine Sense had already sensed something ominous.
Just as he saw in the Sky Above nearby, a huge black shadow swept past, then Space began to tremble violently, and from the distorted Air, a black feather-robed man walked out, standing in Void Space.
A tyrannical and cold Demon Sense unscrupulously swept over, the Spiritual Pressure was so powerful that all the Cultivators in Spirit Ruins Market were horrified and lost their minds, as if falling into an ice cellar.
The black feather-robed man was carrying a Blood Sail in his hand, full of Fiend Qi, obviously having just killed many people.
"So many insignificant being Blood Food! I'll just use you to make up the numbers."
Just as he casually slapped out, Heaven and Earth changed color, and the wind and clouds in the Air surged, scraping out countless Black Gale and sweeping towards the Market!
On the Merchant Ship, Lu Huayuan, who was still arrogant and domineering towards Qin Ming just now, was brushed by the Black Gale that swept up, and his entire being directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
With a casual strike from the black feather-robed man, blood flowed like rivers, and casualties were countless, even the Golden Core Cultivators within the Market had no power to resist.
In an instant, the entire Market instantly turned into a Purgatory on earth, and the Flesh and Blood Essence of countless Cultivators turned into strands of blood, being collected by the black feather-robed man into the Blood Sail in his hand.
"Ahhh! Help! It's a Nascent Soul Old Demon!"
"Run for your lives!"
Qin Ming's gaze suddenly constricted, and he recognized the person who was wantonly massacring people at a glance.
"Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint!"
This person, he had even drunk wine with him at Five Elements Mountain Market… Those Low-Rank Cultivators, how could they escape from Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint's palm.
Even though the Escaping Light of those fleeing for their lives was countless, under his vast Demon Sense, not even a fly could escape.
With a sweep of Demon Sense, the Cultivators below couldn't even let out a miserable cry, and turned into clouds of blood mist one after another.
Qin Ming at this moment, also deeply experienced what it meant to be that below Nascent Soul, all are insignificant beings. Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint's whole body surged with Demon Qi, sweeping towards the Merchant Ship in Mid-Air, thousands of feet in size.
Boom! That 'Heavenly Wave' Merchant Ship of Brocade Heaven Commerce Company, seemed to be grabbed by an invisible large hand, and in the next moment, the entire ship instantly turned into Dust in the Air.
Those Cultivators who had already boarded the ship, instantly followed suit and Death and Dao Dissipation, turning into strands of Flesh and Blood Essence, being ruthlessly harvested by Great Black Heaven.
The Cultivators within the Market, were even more like harvested wheat, falling down wave after wave.
Seeing this, Qin Ming no longer concealed his Cultivation, without saying a word, transformed into an Azure Rainbow, and fled towards the distance.
He was also not sure whether Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint had other helpers who came along for this Blood Sacrifice of the Market.
If another Nascent Soul Level Old Demon came, even with Qin Ming's Cultivation, it would be difficult to escape by then.
Whoosh! Qin Ming directly activated the Glass Treasure Robe, covering his entire body.
Those Black Gale blowing on his body, did not stir up much waves.
"Hmm?"
"There's actually an insignificant being, who can withstand a strike from This Seat."
Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint in the Sky, his emerald green pupils, as small as beans, constricted, and immediately Demon Sense swept towards the Position where Qin Ming was.
Immediately, a strange Expression suddenly appeared on his face:
"Interesting, it's actually an acquaintance…"
"Fellow Daoist Lu, don't be in such a hurry to leave, This Seat still owes you a drink, heh heh heh…"
"Perfected Golden Core Stage, previously even This Seat could be deceived, let me cut open your Head, to see what Secret is inside?"
Great Black Heaven chuckled sinisterly, most of the living beings in Spirit Ruins Market City had already been loaded into his Blood Sail.
Immediately, his figure blurred for a moment, the Spirit Qi around him rioted, wrapping him up and instantly disappearing, chasing after Qin Ming in a hurry.
…
Between swift movements.
Qin Ming did not run towards the direction of Five Elements Mountain Market, with a Fourth Order Demon Saint making a move, no matter how many more Cultivators came, they would also die.
He changed direction, disregarding everything and flew towards the Beast Roar Mountain Range, precisely the direction of Sunset Cloud Mountain, the Fox Clan Holy Land.
Great Black Heaven was a Wind-Rending Eagle Demon Bird, born with an extremely fast Escape Speed.
Originally, he thought that catching up to that Human Race brat was just a matter of grasping at straws.
But the next scene, made Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint astonished and unceasing.
Just as he saw on Qin Ming's body, a mass of blood light rose up, enveloping his body, and then he instantly Teleportation out for thousands of miles, simply unheard of and unseen.
Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint's eyes were gloomy, his hands transformed into a pair of pitch-black Mo Yu, dozens of feet in size, blotting out the sky and sun, directly unfolding the fastest Escape Speed to chase after him.
Qin Ming instantly felt that he was firmly locked onto, even though he successively used several Blood Escape Secret Technique, the black feather-robed man behind him was still relentlessly chasing.
One man and one Beast, within the Beast Cry Mountain Range, chasing and being chased, flew for several days.
And after Qin Ming confirmed that there were no other High-Tier helpers behind Great Black Heaven, and that he was alone, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was only a Fourth Order Demon Saint… even if Qin Ming could not defeat him, he was still more than capable of self-preservation.
Moreover.
Seeing that he was already approaching Sunset Cloud Mountain, Qin Ming immediately sent a long-distance Message Talisman to Moon Spirit Yan.
Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint chasing behind, immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Something's not right? Why is this brat running towards that Silver Moon's territory?"
Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint's thoughts turned sharply, and he finally sensed a trace of something amiss.
He was Silver Moon Heavenly Fox's Defeated Foe, last time he was sought out by her for revenge, he almost didn't die in her hands, truly making him deeply fearful.
Great Black Heaven also did not expect, that a mere Human Race Golden Core, running away was as slippery as a loach, repeatedly escaping from his grasp.
If he were to let him escape to Silver Moon Heavenly Fox's territory, then he would not be able to continue chasing him.
Thinking of this, Great Black Heaven's emerald green eyes, as small as beans, flickered unceasingly, "Good brat, you are the first Human Race to force me to reveal my True Form!"
Boom! On the Black Feather Demon Cultivator's body, billowing Demon Qi suddenly rose up, in an instant transforming into a black Demon Bird of two hundred feet in size, the pitch-black Wingspan unfolding, causing the Space nearby to distort.
Between his Wingspan, a strange wind attribute Energy was continuously gathering.
Coo!!! Wind-Rending Eagle revealed its True Form and chased with all its might, with just one flap of its wings, it was even faster than Qin Ming's Blood Escape Technique, instantly appearing thousands of miles away.
As if it was Void Space Teleportation.
In just a few breaths of time, it swept past Qin Ming, blocking his path, pitch-black wings scraping out gale wind that could extinguish Divine Soul, opening a pair of sharp claws comparable to Top-Grade Magic Treasure, and pounced fiercely towards Qin Ming.
Qin Ming furrowed his brows. Hesitating no longer, he immediately activated the Qi and Blood True Gang throughout his entire body.
Roar! An Illusory Image of a Crimson Eight-Armed Demon Ape, emerged on Qin Ming's body, fully three hundred feet tall.
Now that Qin Ming's physical body had been refined to the stage of Perfection, the True Gang Transformation he manifested was a full circle larger than even Great Black Heaven.
Crackling!
The instant the Crimson Demon Ape appeared, its eight arms danced, its five fingers closed together, transforming into fists, leaping up into the air!
Towards the Great Black Heaven pouncing over, he smashed down with a punch! Boom!
The two giant Beasts collided fiercely together, in an instant heaven and earth collapsed and split apart, black lightning flashed, and the Mountain Forest nearby turned into Dust one after another.
Under this direct clash, even Qin Ming's body felt a surge of Vital Energy and Blood, his chest as if struck by a sledgehammer, flying backwards for ten thousand feet before rolling and falling to the ground.
And the black eagle transformed by Great Black Heaven, was also blasted ten thousand feet away by this punch.
He abruptly halted his figure in the distance, and on his face, there was no Expression of anger, more of astonishment and surprise…
