Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Qingyunzi’s words left everyone looking at each other in dismay, and after a moment, Chen Lengqiang spoke: ”What do you mean?”

Qingyunzi said: ”Originally, the Taiyin Treasure Vault was surrounded by mutated Death Qi. Those within not only had to constantly resist the erosion of Death Qi, but their Divine Techniques and mana would also be heavily suppressed, and the larger the creature, the more Death Qi it contacts, the greater the restriction it suffers.”

”In this situation, only the Tribulation Pearl can destroy the barrier.”

”But now that the Death Qi is greatly reduced, we can use Divine Techniques to assist in attacking from the side.”

Qingyunzi paused, then continued: ”More importantly, I have a pet beast that I’ve been raising for a long time. This beast has great strength, but it’s confined by its form, making it difficult to traverse the Death Qi. If the Death Qi in front of the vault can be dispelled, its impact force will be no less than a Tribulation Pearl.”

”Combined with our assistance from the side, we have at least a seventy percent chance of breaking the barrier.”

These words brightened the eyes of the four from the Celestial Mechanics Guild. Chi Feng said solemnly: ”Then what are we waiting for? If we delay any longer, we might miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

His words were tactful, but everyone knew what he meant; the current movement of Death Qi is caused by Chu Xiu’s fight against the Tribulation Thunder, and once Chu Xiu can’t hold on, the Death Qi will naturally return to its place.

This means they must seize the opportunity to escape while Chu Xiu is in a desperate situation!

Although this seems somewhat unjust, especially given that Chu Xiu has practically benefited everyone, the group immediately made their decision.

Head to the Taiyin Treasure Vault!

Even Su Jinyu and Jiang Miaoyin were no exceptions. The reason was simple; elites like them, upon realizing they couldn’t help Chu Xiu, would naturally make the most rational choice.

If they were Heroic Spirits, they might hesitate, but everyone was only King Tier, and in the face of Tribulation Thunder, they were no different from ants. As Chen Lengqiang said, going there would only add to the chaos.

Of course, this might be their excuse to comfort themselves, but in conclusion, no one planned to die in vain.

Just at this moment, Qingyunzi spoke up: ”Not yet, the concentration of Death Qi is still not low enough.”

His words fell, and everyone’s faces sank. No one knew how long Chu Xiu could hold on. It was now a time racing against the clock; there was no time for a slow wait.

Seeing the anxious expressions of the group, Qingyunzi continued: ”I do have a method, but it requires your assistance.”

Chen Lengqiang said: ”Please speak, sir.”

Qingyunzi said: ”Under current circumstances, the only option is for us to actively divert the Death Qi away.”

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, revealing six small golden pearls in his hand.

”These are Immortal Pearls formed by condensed Immortal Qi. The Tribulation naturally senses the Immortal Pearls. All you have to do is hold these Immortal Pearls and move the Death Qi near Fellow Daoist Qin.”

”Whether you have Artifacts to protect you or possess a Tribulation Body, accomplishing this task is not difficult.”

His words fell, and everyone’s expressions changed.

To leave Chu Xiu to die is one thing, which they can comfort themselves with by claiming a lack of ability. But Qingyunzi’s suggestion clearly meant diverting disaster, which was a complete act of repaying kindness with ingratitude.

”Time is of the essence, please make your decision quickly,” Qingyunzi urged.

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce look flashed in Chen Lengqiang’s eyes. He grabbed an Immortal Pearl: ”I’ll go!”

”Brother Chen!” Shen Tianxie called out.

Chen Lengqiang said: ”Didn’t you see how much Death Qi there is? Even if Senior Qin can withstand three Tribulation Thunders, how much more will there be afterwards? Do you believe he can resist this endless Death Qi?”

”Since he is bound to die, why are we at fault for seeking a way out? Should we foolishly get buried alongside him?”

”Moreover...”

Chen Lengqiang left one sentence unsaid, but everyone knew very well that if Chu Xiu died, then this favor would no longer need to be repaid.

A great favor turns into a great enmity, such is the way of things.

Shen Tianxie said nothing more, calmly going forward to pick up an Immortal Pearl. The other two from the Celestial Mechanics Guild followed suit.

Jiang Miaoyin hesitated briefly, then took a step back and said: ”I won’t participate in this.”

Qingyunzi chuckled and said: ”Fellow Daoist probably has special Artifact trump cards, hence is not in a hurry. Since Fellow Daoist is unwilling, I also won’t force you, but just hope you won’t disrupt our plans.”

With that, he looked toward Su Jinyu.

Su Jinyu’s eyes showed clear signs of struggle, but eventually she sighed, stepping forward to take one.

She had the restriction placed by the other side, leaving her no choice but to comply.

The group were not weak or indecisive by nature. Once the decision was made, they quickly acted. The five transformed into five rays of light, swiftly arriving near the Taiyin Treasure Vault. The Death Qi gathered near the vault, indeed seemed attracted in a certain way, rushing toward them.

The five immediately changed direction, diverting the Death Qi along various paths to Chu Xiu’s vicinity, and the Death Qi tended to be naturally absorbed by the central Tribulation Cloud upon nearing.

Repeating this only three times, the Death Qi near the Taiyin Treasure Vault was less than thirty percent of what it used to be.

”It’s time!”

Qingyunzi suddenly opened his eyes, stepping out to traverse the Penglai barrier!

He had awakened the consciousness of an Ancient Cultivator, and once appeared, he was automatically attacked by the Death Qi. But at this moment, the Death Qi had largely been diverted away, and seeing his Immortal Artifact lit up, easily dispelled the nearby Death Qi.

The Taiyin Treasure Vault appeared far away in the sky, but was merely a shadow; the actual doorway was a formless, intangible, legend passage that only those proficient in the Path of Space could discover.

Qingyunzi moved with great speed, like a phantom, almost like a fleeting figure, swiftly covering tens of miles, arriving in front of that portal!
