Chapter 791: Changes in the Immortal Abode

Within the Immortal Abode secret realm.

As the source power of the Insect Mother Empress was absorbed by the Silver-Winged Frostbee, the grand illusion divine ability cast by the Saint Lord of Myriad Blossomss dissipated.

Outside, the insect swarm was locked in fierce battle with the foreign cultivators who had invaded the place.

The cultivators of the demon and devil races had never imagined that at the very core of the Linglong Immortal Abode secret realm lay a colossal insect nest directly connected to the Insect Realm.

They were all terrified out of their wits, inadvertently drawing much of the enemy's attention and giving Qin Ming's group an opportunity to leave.

Meanwhile, Ao Qing and Mogulu, relying on their powerful cultivation and strength, easily bypassed the low-rank insect swarms outside.

The moment they arrived, they observed the situation inside the ruined immortal palace hall.

“Hmph! As expected, it's those two human cultivators.”

Ao Qing's cold demonic divine sense swept across Qin Ming and the others.

Yet Qin Ming and his companion, who also possessed formidable spiritual senses, blocked it entirely.

The clash of divine senses between them even distorted the nearby space, tearing several tiny cracks into it.

The next moment—

The figures of Ao Qing and Mogulu vanished instantly and charged after them with overwhelming momentum.

Qin Ming, Profound Tortoise Divine Lord, and the others naturally noticed this.

Without hesitation, they immediately fled the hall.

These two commanders of the demon and devil races possessed profound cultivation and extraordinary abilities. Silverwing and the Saint Lord of Myriad Blossomss had both fallen unconscious, while Profound Tortoise Divine Lord had just activated a seventh-tier talisman and suffered severe vitality loss. Other than Qin Ming, everyone else was exhausted, injured, or incapacitated. They were in no condition to face these two cultivators.

However—

While fleeing, Qin Ming suddenly turned to Profound Tortoise Divine Lord and asked:

“Fellow Daoist Gu, do you have any spare seventh-tier talismans left? Could you perhaps use that spirit-descending divine ability again and help hold off those demon and devil generals behind us?”

Profound Tortoise Divine Lord sat cross-legged on the back of his turtle spirit pet, eyes closed as he meditated. Having just swallowed a medicinal pill, he was rapidly recovering his Void Refinement Spiritual Power.

The turtle carrying the bloodline of the Black Tortoise True Spirit was already moving at maximum speed.

But upon hearing Qin Ming's words, he nearly lost his composure. His face twitched repeatedly, and he almost fell off the turtle's back.

He cursed inwardly. Was Insect Devil Yin Lingzi even speaking like a human?

He had only just forcibly activated a seventh-tier spirit-descending talisman, suffering several centuries' worth of vitality damage as a side effect, merely to barely hold back that ancient World-Scourge Plague Moth king and buy Qin Ming and Silverwing some time.

And now, faced with pursuers again, this fellow was actually making such an outrageous request.

Still, he restrained himself and replied:

“Fellow Daoist Yin, you've seen my condition. Gu here is already at the end of his rope. Besides, how precious do you think a seventh-tier talisman is? Back in my younger days, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon some materials from an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling. That's how I managed to craft that one and only talisman.”

Qin Ming didn't believe him at all.

As a seventh-tier talisman master who kept his true abilities hidden, how could he possibly have only a single top-grade talisman on hand?

Just then—

Elder Tu'e, who was carrying the unconscious Saint Lord of Myriad Blossomss while fleeing, transmitted his voice to the two of them.

“Fellow Daoists, once we reach our clan's territory, this old man has a way to shake off our pursuers. Even those demon and devil cultivators waiting outside the Immortal Abode secret realm will pose no threat.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming and Profound Tortoise Divine Lord were both greatly surprised.

Seeing the old fellow suddenly so confident, they could not help but ask:

“So Fellow Daoist Tu still has a life-saving trump card. That's excellent news.”

“But I suspect the chaos within the Immortal Abode has already reached the outside world. There's a very high chance that Body Integration experts are already guarding the secret realm entrance.”

“They're probably just waiting for us to emerge.”

“May I ask what sort of trump card you're referring to?”

Elder Tu'e had no intention of hiding it.

After all, Qin Ming and Profound Tortoise Divine Lord had gone from enemies to allies. They had saved the Flower Spirit Clan from the insects' control and fought alongside him in the ruined immortal palace.

Though their cooperation had been based on immortal jade transactions, helping the Flower Spirit Clan escape the Immortal Abode secret realm was still an enormous favor.

“To be honest, our Flower Spirit Clan has multiplied within this secret realm for tens of thousands of years. During that time, we've secretly created an escape treasure that embodies the wisdom of our entire race and countless supreme heavenly materials.”

“It is called the Myriad Pistils Skyborne Divine Chariot.”

“It can carry a vast number of clansmen, allowing the entire clan to migrate and avoid disasters and calamities.”

“However, activating it requires a considerable amount of Immortal Jade and a special ritual. Once fully activated, it can perform spatial leaps. Even Body Integration experts wouldn't be able to catch up.”

“Those two behind us are even less of a concern.”

Qin Ming and Profound Tortoise Divine Lord exchanged a glance and sighed in admiration.

“I never expected the Flower Spirit Clan to possess such a method. I truly admire it.”

“Then we shouldn't delay any longer.”

“As for leaving the secret realm, leave that to the two of us.”

After discussing their plan, the three immediately rushed toward the Flower Spirit Clan's valley.

Meanwhile, after arriving at the hall, Ao Qing and Mogulu released their divine senses and searched the area.

They quickly discovered that all the important treasures had already been stripped clean.

Only insect corpses remained.

Their expressions instantly turned dark and ugly.

After all their efforts, not only had the Immortal Jade vein been emptied out, but the immortal palace itself yielded nothing.

Everything had been for nothing.

“We can't let them escape. Those two human Void Refinement cultivators must have obtained an enormous opportunity within the Immortal Abode secret realm.”

“Don't worry. They won't get away.”

Mogulu narrowed his eyes and stared coldly in the direction Qin Ming and the others had fled.

Then he waved a hand beneath his black robe.

Several pitch-black fiends instantly flew out, vanished into the void, and sped away to mark Qin Ming's location.

Afterward, they summoned their remaining subordinates and gave several orders.

“You lot thoroughly search this place and see if any treasures were overlooked.”

With that, the two of them departed once more in pursuit of Qin Ming and the others.

After the two major figures left—

“Yes! We obey, Demon General!”

The cultivators of the demon and devil races all revealed excited expressions.

“The two lords are gone. Our chance has finally come!”

“Look! There's a spatial crack behind the hall!”

Without hesitation, they rushed into the crack one after another, afraid of falling behind.

Yet after entering, they found nothing but devastation.

Countless floating islands had been shattered, clearly destruction beyond the capability of Void Refinement cultivators.

Soon afterward, their eyes were drawn to the sealed wormhole.

…

On the other side.

Within the Flower Spirit Clan's territory, countless clansmen stood upon an enormous formation while carrying their families and belongings.

All of them looked nervously toward the outside world.

Only after seeing Elder Tu'e return did they finally breathe sighs of relief.

After settling the unconscious Saint Lord of Myriad Blossomss, Elder Tu'e immediately began casting a spell.

He produced an ancient vine staff and pointed it toward the sky.

A vast and majestic aura descended upon the plaza.

Countless multicolored runes emerged from the center of the formation and gathered overhead.

They formed a platform made of emerald-green, pale-white, and dark-gold petals, which gradually expanded into the shape of a gigantic divine chariot nearly ten thousand zhang in size.

It resembled a mobile fortress floating in the sky.

Within it bloomed nine core flower stamens.

Countless translucent floral runes condensed outside it, forming a petal-shaped barrier.

The barrier's colors shifted continuously as though alive, distorting light and blending into the void.

The countless Flower Spirit clansmen below were transported into the Myriad Pistils Skyborne Divine Chariot through the formation.

However, it appeared that fully activating such a miraculous treasure would still require a little more time.

At that moment—

Ao Qing of the demon race and Mogulu of the devil race had already charged to the outskirts of the valley.

Seeing this, Elder Tu'e, who was controlling the activation of the Myriad Pistils Skyborne Divine Chariot, spoke to Qin Ming and Profound Tortoise Divine Lord:

“Fellow Daoists, please help delay those two for a short while longer. I'll be finished very soon.”

Qin Ming and Profound Tortoise Divine Lord exchanged glances.

Neither had expected that activating this miraculous escape treasure would take time.

With Ao Qing and Mogulu already upon them, they had no choice.

“Sigh. What rotten luck.”

“Fellow Daoist Gu, pick one of them.”

Profound Tortoise Divine Lord had only just finished battling the ancient World-Scourge Plague Moth king. He had not yet recovered before being forced into another life-and-death struggle.

A helpless smile appeared on his pale face.

“I'll hold off Mogulu for a while.”

Qin Ming nodded immediately.

His figure vanished, transforming into a vast cloud of insects that swept outward.

As Ao Qing and Mogulu approached, they naturally noticed the situation within the valley.

“Oh?”

“The foreign race within this secret realm actually possesses such a treasure. This divine vessel must be fated with me.”

Ao Qing's gaze landed upon the Myriad Pistils Skyborne Divine Chariot, greed filling his eyes.

Then he noticed Qin Ming and Profound Tortoise Divine Lord charging toward them.

A mocking smile appeared on his face.

“You overestimate yourselves.”

“Two mere human Void Refinement cultivators actually dare challenge me? You're seeking death.”

Beside him, Mogulu's black robes billowed as dark clouds rolled forth.

He vanished instantly, leaving only a single sentence behind.

“Those people are trying to escape. Brother Ao Qing should finish this quickly, lest complications arise.”

Ao Qing's eyes flashed.

A demon sword appeared in his hand.

With a single slash toward the endless insect swarm—

Countless silver streams of terrifying power transformed into distorted sword lights, weaving together into a gigantic silver net that descended upon Qin Ming's swarm.

In Ao Qing's view, the human cultivators who had been fleeing from them moments ago were no threat whatsoever.

After all, both he and Mogulu were elite figures among their races, far stronger than ordinary late-stage Void Refinement cultivators.

Yet the very next moment—

He realized just how wrong he was.

Buzz—

As tens of thousands of insects scattered, a horned, winged heavenly fiend emerged from within.

The fiend wielded a pitch-black Soulbane Sword.

Even Ao Qing felt fear from the aura it emitted.

A crimson vertical eye opened on the sword's hilt, pulsing with a fierce thirst for blood.

Qin Ming's Demon Infant Primordial Spirit had gone all out.

He directly activated the Myriad Forms Selfless Heavenfiend Liberation Technique, consuming every Myriad Forms Heaven-Demon Blood Mark he had accumulated from slain enemies over the years.

There were more than a hundred of them.

His power instantly surged to several times its usual level.

In the next instant—

The Soulbane Sword hovered above his head.

At Qin Ming's command, it erupted with ghostly wails capable of shaking souls.

Then it vanished into the void and transformed into a streak of black light.

It shattered the countless silver sword nets before shooting directly toward Ao Qing.

Its power was so terrifying that even Ao Qing was genuinely startled.

He had never imagined that the human cultivator before him could unleash such frightening strength.

He could clearly feel that his soul had been firmly locked onto by that strange demonic sword.

If it struck him, death was certain.

And the Soulbane Sword moved so quickly it seemed to teleport, reaching him in an instant.

Just as it was about to touch his face, Ao Qing spat out a green mysterious pearl.

It instantly transformed into a crystal barrier around him.

Boom!!

Crack!

The Soulbane Sword slammed into the green crystal wall, producing a thunderous explosion.

In the distance, Qin Ming frowned.

That strange crystal barrier had actually blocked his surprise attack.

Cold sweat appeared on Ao Qing's back.

Caught off guard, he had nearly fallen victim to the attack.

Yet in the very next moment—

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Countless fine fractures spread across the crystal wall before it shattered completely.

The Soulbane Sword continued forward unabated and struck Ao Qing directly.

A spray of blood scattered through the sky.

“Urgh!”

Ao Qing's battered figure reappeared a mile away.

One of his arms had been severed.

However, after channeling his demonic power, a brand-new arm quickly regrew.

On the other side, even Profound Tortoise Divine Lord, who was locked in combat with Mogulu, happened to witness the scene.

Looking at Qin Ming's terrifying sword-fiend form, his body overflowing with demonic energy rivaling even Mogulu's, he could not help but curse inwardly.

“Could this Yin Lingzi actually be a spy from the devil race?”

“This doesn't feel right at all!”

But now that he was already caught in the battle, he could only commit to the path he had chosen and continue advancing alongside Qin Ming.

Grinding his teeth, Profound Tortoise Divine Lord immediately produced a thick stack of high-grade talismans and hurled them at Mogulu as if they cost nothing.

In an instant—

Endless lightning roared forth.

Divine flames descended.

Everything before them was engulfed and annihilated.

Mogulu's eyelids twitched wildly.

He quickly retreated.

Even with his cultivation, he did not dare withstand so many sixth-tier divine talismans head-on.

He had also underestimated these human cultivators.

After avoiding the talisman barrage, he glanced toward the valley.

When he saw spatial fluctuations erupting from the Myriad Pistils Skyborne Divine Chariot, a sense of foreboding immediately rose in his heart.

At the same time, he noticed Qin Ming's demonic transformation and the fact that he had forced Ao Qing back with a single sword strike.

From Qin Ming, he sensed an exceptionally pure demonic aura.

This left him deeply puzzled.

Could this man also be a member of the devil race?

Roar!!

At that moment—

Ao Qing finally flew into a rage.

He revealed the true form of the Cangyue Heavenly Wolf.

A colossal thousand-zhang demon wolf with three vertical eyes appeared and howled toward the heavens.

Several tornadoes of wind blades erupted instantly and swept toward Qin Ming.

The terrifying power of the attack reduced everything nearby to nothingness.
