Immortal Refiner

Jin Lie and the three-headed profound crocodile are dead!

When the golden horned wild bull uttered these words, every demon present, including the demon kings, dismissed it as a tasteless joke.

Such a scenario seemed utterly impossible. These two young demons were currently the most formidable powerhouses in the demon realm.

Who could possibly have slain them?

”Little whelp of the Wild Bull Tribe, your joke is in poor taste!” The Golden Bear King’s expression darkened instantly, his voice turning icy cold.

The demon king from the Nether Python Clan, however, seemed intrigued. She chuckled softly, ”I doubt this golden horned wild bull would dare deceive us. What it says must be true.”

King Canglan of the Azure Wing Rat Clan frowned. ”This doesn’t make sense. The three-headed profound crocodile and Jin Lie both possess powerful bloodlines. Who could have killed them?”

”Could someone have ambushed them after their duel, taking advantage of their weakened state?”

If that were the case, it would spell trouble!

Upon hearing this, the leaders of several demon beast clans exchanged uneasy glances.

The Black Crocodile King and the Golden Bear King were both notoriously hot-tempered demon kings. If this were true, the demon realm was likely about to face a violent storm!

The trembling golden horned wild bull shook its head, its voice quivering as it spoke:

”That’s not the case! A human has appeared in the ancestral land!”

”First, he killed Jin Lie outside the Tempering Life Spirit Pool. Then, after the Myriad Beasts Spirit Tree activated, he crossed the golden path and slew three three-headed profound crocodiles!”

These words sent a tidal wave of shock through the assembled demon race.

Every demon was stunned. The formidable sixth son of the Golden Bear King and the three-headed profound crocodiles of the profound crocodile clan—all slain by a single human?

Moreover, according to the golden horned wild bull, the Tempering Life Spirit Pool had apparently been activated during this session of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

But hadn’t the pool been activated just recently during the last expedition to the ancestral land?

No, now wasn’t the time to dwell on such details. All eyes turned to the Golden Bear King and the Black Crocodile King.

The expressions on the two kings’ faces were as dark as storm clouds, as if water might drip from their faces.

The energy within their bodies began to surge violently.

Every demon king recalled something: when the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm opened, an unremarkable black forge had been accidentally swept into the ancestral land by the Heavenly Wind.

At the time, some demon kings speculated that a human might have infiltrated the ancestral land.

However, no one took this seriously. They believed that even if a human had slipped in, it wouldn’t matter.

Human cultivators in the nascent soul realm couldn’t forcefully enter the ancestral land; only those in the core formation realm or lower could enter, unless they were old monsters at the divine transformation stage!

The demon kings dismissed core formation realm cultivators as insignificant. They were confident that such weaklings posed no real threat to Jin Lie and the three-headed profound crocodile.

Yet no one could have predicted that this human, whom they had almost forgotten, would prove to be an absolute calamity!

He had single-handedly slain both Jin Lie and the three-headed profound crocodile!

Boom!

Suddenly, a violent gale swept through the exit of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

The demon race’s attention was immediately drawn to the commotion. As they focused their gaze, they saw a cyan ape riding the wind.

This was a Wind Ape, a clan with close ties to the Golden Bear King’s lineage.

The Wind Ape swiftly rode the wind toward them, its expression a mix of panic and urgency:

”Reporting to Senior Golden Bear King! A human has infiltrated the ancestral land!”

”Jin Lie and the three-headed profound crocodile have both fallen by this human’s hand!”

With the Wind Ape’s confirmation, the demon cultivators finally understood that the golden horned wild bull’s words were no mere jest—they were deadly serious!

Suddenly, the Golden Bear King’s massive frame shuddered violently, as if a torrent of divine power were surging within him.

Boom!

An overwhelmingly terrifying aura erupted from his body, his face contorted with murderous intent.

”Such audacity! A human has infiltrated our ancestral land!”

”I’ll see if this human has three heads and six arms! When he emerges, I’ll skin him alive!”

The Black Crocodile King erupted in fury alongside him, his expression turning icy cold. He even felt the urge to reveal his true demon king form.

”Once he comes out, he won’t escape!”

At the exit of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, many demon races trembled in fear, retreating to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Yet their curiosity burned fiercely. They yearned to see what kind of being possessed such immense power!

Of course, none believed the human stood a chance.

For when he emerged, he would face the most formidable demon kings in the demon realm!

Even if he had successfully broken through within the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, survival was impossible.

After so many years, the Golden Bear King, who had once dominated the demon realm, had reached the mid-transformation stage, his power unfathomable.

With several other immensely powerful demon kings present, the human race member had no chance of escape, even if he sprouted wings!

Soon, demon beasts began teleporting out of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm in a steady stream.

The Terrorclaw Lizard, Mountain Ridge Giant Elephant, bone demon giant wolf, and other formidable demon beasts emerged, quickly drawing attention.

But these gazes soon swept past them, clearly indicating they were not the main event.

In the next moment, a blinding white light flashed at the exit of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

It was a magnificent white lion, its golden eyes radiating a subtle aura of dominance.

”It’s Bai Xing! Did he inherit the Nine-Headed Golden Lion’s legacy? His aura is incredibly potent, almost reaching the transformation stage!”

”He must have gained tremendous benefits. The demon realm might soon have another demon king.”

Whispers of admiration spread through the crowd, many demon beasts casting envious glances.

Bai Xing dared not grow complacent, sensing the gazes of several demon kings capable of threatening his life.

His relationship with the demon realm’s major royal clans was neither hostile nor particularly friendly. If any demon king grew wary of his potential, it would spell trouble.

In the demon realm, there were few rules against the strong preying on the weak; strength was the only law.

But soon, Bai Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

He noticed that the imposing Golden Bear King and Black Crocodile King merely glanced at him before refocusing their attention on the ancestral land’s exit.

News of what had transpired within the ancestral land must have already spread, meaning he was no longer the center of attention.

I should thank that human for drawing all the hatred onto himself!

Bai Xing exhaled deeply and quickly retreated, blending into the crowd to observe how the situation would unfold.

Following closely behind were demon races like the jade azure serpent and Azure Wing Rat, each under the protection of their respective demon kings, preventing any major conflicts.

Just as much of the crowd’s attention shifted to the Azure Wing Rat and other demon races, the exit of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm flashed with light once more!

Whoosh!

A towering figure, wreathed in Wind-Thunder Power, materialized from the portal.

In an instant, countless eyes turned toward him.

”Hmm? What’s with the wings on his back? Has one of the Avian Kings undergone transformation?”

”The Flying Spirit Clan? No, those silver wings look like magical artifacts, not natural growths!”

”It’s that human!”

Before they could say more, the Golden Bear King, his face dark with fury, had already been waiting impatiently.

He focused his aura, his body swelling to colossal size, and unleashed a sky-shattering golden bear paw strike that crashed down with overwhelming force.

Boom!

The air exploded with unimaginable force. Li Qing’s vision went black as if night had fallen.

Dao Lord Bai Ling transmitted a divine sense message: ”Go!”

His heart pounding, Li Qing dared not linger a moment longer, fully aware of the chaos he had unleashed.

In the same instant, he activated the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings on his back.

Whoosh!

Before a blink of an eye could pass, Li Qing’s figure vanished from the spot.

With a burst of Wind-Thunder Power, Li Qing appeared in the distant sky, his Dao Body still crackling with residual lightning.

”So fast!”

”How is he moving so quickly? Even the Golden Bear King couldn’t capture him immediately?”

”...”

Boom!

The next instant, a violent tremor shook the entire exit of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm!

With a single palm strike, the Golden Bear King had shattered the great earth into fragments.

But this was far from over. The Black Crocodile King, his killing intent surging, opened his maw and unleashed a crimson spiritual light!

”Hmph, human, where do you think you can escape to?!”

Li Qing recognized this technique instantly. He had personally witnessed the three-headed profound crocodile use it on the golden path and knew it was impossible to withstand head-on!

This was a simplified version of the Profound Crocodile Threefold Annihilation, but when executed by a Great Demon King in the transformation stage, its power was terrifyingly immense.

Without hesitation, Li Qing activated the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings behind him again.

Wind-Thunder Power surged, and Li Qing’s figure flashed repeatedly, appearing in different locations as if teleporting.

His speed reached its peak, moving like a ghostly apparition.

However, the Golden Bear King and Black Crocodile King had locked onto his qi mechanism with their divine sense the moment he emerged.

No matter how Li Qing fled, he couldn’t escape the detection of the two demon kings.

Boom! Boom!

The two demon kings moved simultaneously, pursuing Li Qing directly toward his location.

Two immense auras surged from behind, pressing down on Li Qing with overwhelming force. His heart leaped into his throat, terrified of being caught.

”They’re closing in fast! No wonder they’re demon kings—their aerial speed is terrifying.”

”I can’t hold back any longer!”

A resolute glint flashed in Li Qing’s eyes as he prepared to escape at any cost. He knew that being caught meant certain death, and no one could save him now. His only hope lay in himself.

In the next instant, Li Qing channeled all the Kunpeng Divine Power within him. He poured this power, which could unleash the Kunpeng Extreme Speed, into the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings on his back.

Immediately, the silver wings erupted with three brilliant, multicolored lights.

The combined forces of Wind-Thunder Power and spatial power distorted space itself in Li Qing’s vision. The surrounding landscape dissolved into blurred patches of color.

Using the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, Li Qing seamlessly merged with the void, allowing his flight to be completely unhindered by resistance.

Empowered by the Kunpeng Divine Power, the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings unleashed their full potential, reaching speeds comparable to heaven-piercing spirit treasures. The combination of their inherent speed and the Kunpeng Divine Power created a synergistic effect far greater than the sum of its parts.

Without a sound or ripple, Li Qing’s figure vanished from the sight of the two beast kings.

The Golden Bear King and Black Crocodile King were stunned. They immediately unleashed their divine sense, sweeping across a thousand-mile radius.

Nothing!

Not only was Li Qing’s figure gone, but even his aura had vanished completely.

”Impossible! How could a mere core formation realm human move so fast that even we couldn’t detect him? Did he just escape like that?”

”Search! He must be using some kind of concealment treasure!”

The two demon kings split up, scouring the surrounding mountains and rivers for any trace of Li Qing.

But their efforts were futile. In that fleeting moment, Li Qing had unleashed a speed rivaling even the escape speed of a divine transformation stage cultivator!

By merging with the void and recklessly expending his Kunpeng Divine Power, he had traversed an unimaginable distance in an instant.

This speed was comparable to a small-scale teleportation.

On a remote island in the sea, Li Qing crashed down from the void.

Thud!

”Cough, cough... Even my current fleshly body can barely withstand this speed. Sustained flight at this pace is impossible.”

Li Qing coughed, realizing his internal organs had suffered some damage.

Fortunately, he had finally escaped the demon king’s pursuit—a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!

”Heh, I never expected you brat to know the Kunpeng Extreme Speed. You certainly have quite a few secrets hidden.” Dao Lord Bai Ling’s divine sense transmission echoed in Li Qing’s mind.

Panting heavily, Li Qing forced a dry laugh and replied humbly, ”Compared to Senior Bai Ling, this is nothing.”

Dao Lord Bai Ling wasn’t buying it. He drifted out of the Immortal Spirit Green Gold, his ethereal form surveying the surroundings with a hint of long-forgotten emotion in his eyes.

”It’s been countless years... I never thought I’d see the outside world again.”

After a moment of contemplation, Dao Lord Bai Ling asked, ”So, where do you plan to go next, brat?”

Li Qing, finally catching his breath, replied,

”It’s about time I returned to the sect. This trip has lasted far too long. I wonder how things are back there.”

”Senior Bai Ling, if you’re looking for a successor, I’ll mobilize the entire sect to help you find one once we return!”

Dao Lord Bai Ling nodded with a smile. ”That would be perfect. Once my legacy is passed on, this lingering obsession of mine will finally dissipate.”

With that, Li Qing took to the skies once more from the isolated island.

After a quick orientation, he began flying towards the general direction of the Azure Ridge Domain, relying on his memory of its approximate location.

With the Wind-Thunder Silver Wings, traveling became effortless. He could now achieve with minimal spiritual energy what previously required his full exertion.

Li Qing flew steadily northward, rapidly approaching the Azure Ridge Domain as he remembered it.

Meanwhile, in the demon realm, his escape had ignited a cataclysmic uproar!

The sixth son of the Golden Bear King and the Heavenly Prodigy of the profound crocodile clan had both fallen at the hands of a single human within their ancestral land!

Most astonishingly, after emerging from the ancestral land, this human had evaded the combined pursuit of the Golden Bear King and the Black Crocodile King, escaping unscathed!

The news spread like wildfire across the demon realm, sending shockwaves through the entire great domain and leaving the demon races deeply shaken.

Humans!

This race, long absent from the demon realm, had once again surfaced in the consciousness of every demon clan.

But the Golden Bear King and Black Crocodile King had no intention of letting the matter rest. Consumed by fury, they even vowed to join forces and invade other territories to hunt down that damned human.

And they actually did it! The demon race acted with such ruthless efficiency!

That very day, demons witnessed the Golden Bear King and Black Crocodile King departing together, leaving the demon realm in a grand display of force.

They were truly going to search for that human in other great domains!
