Chapter 793: The Old Devil Returns

Within the valley.

After Elder Tu’e completed activating the formation and inserted several low-grade Immortal Jades into the nine core nodes, the Flower Spirit Clan’s Myriad Blossoms Floating Divine Chariot lit up with countless petal-shaped runes, and an incomparably vast Spatial Force surged around it.

Buzz!

As a majestic sound echoed through the sky, the entire divine chariot erupted with dazzling seven-colored radiance.

Whoosh!

The enormous spirit-flower divine chariot instantly vanished from its original location and shot out through the entrance to the immortal abode secret realm that the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord had just opened.

Only after entering the Myriad Blossoms Floating Divine Chariot did Qin Ming discover that this seventh-tier flying divine artifact, capable of transporting an entire clan, contained a world of its own.

Inside was a vast Flower Spirit secret realm filled with spirit springs, spirit mountains, and countless spiritual plants. There were even sun, moon, and starlike sources of light shining into the interior.

He could tell that this was a Sumeru mustard-seed space, an independent realm opened by Flower Spirit Clan experts using the power of spatial laws together with their innate connection to plants and vegetation.

Although it could not compare to Qin Ming’s Small Spirit Realm, which had already become a world unto itself, it was still exceedingly rare as a spatial flying treasure.

Numerous flowing-light vines appeared around the Myriad Blossoms Floating Divine Chariot, while a gigantic Flower Spirit phantom led the way ahead.

Once activated, the enormous divine chariot immediately launched a spatial jump and escaped the range of the Linglong Immortal Abode secret realm in only a few breaths.

The surviving members of the Flower Spirit Clan, seeing daylight once more, erupted in cheers and excitement.

Yet Elder Tu’e remained grim.

He knew that the situation outside in the Spirit Realm was even more chaotic. Cultivators from the demon and devil races were waiting outside, and they were far from truly safe.

Thus he continued driving the Myriad Blossoms Floating Divine Chariot farther away.

They had barely left when—

Rumble!

Another earth-shattering explosion erupted inside the immortal abode secret realm.

A violent fluctuation spread across the sky above the realm as a massive crack suddenly exploded open.

Dense insect corruption poured out from the fissure and invaded the outside world.

Countless insect hordes flooded into the Spirit Realm. Everywhere they passed was devoured clean, like a plague of locusts leaving not a blade of grass behind.

This astonishing change shocked the demon and devil race cultivators stationed near the entrance, as well as the hidden foreign races watching from the shadows.

None of them understood what had happened inside the Linglong Immortal Abode secret realm.

The instant Mogulu emerged, he immediately led his subordinates away at top speed.

“Lord Demon General, what happened?”

“Why did only you come out? Where is Senior Ao Qing of the demon race?”

The devils outside were bewildered. Mogulu, a frontline commander of the devil race, had emerged looking exceptionally gloomy, with no one behind him.

“Hmph! Circumstances have changed. The demon race is probably in for a rough time this time. We’re withdrawing to Heavenly Spine Mountain.”

Mogulu spoke in a tone that allowed no objection.

His thoughts drifted back to Qin Ming’s bizarre body-tempering divine ability. The fact that he could transform into a demonic idol still left him unable to comprehend it.

He then added:

“After returning, keep watch for a human cultivator named Yin Lingzi.”

The devil cultivators were all confused, but anyone who could attract the attention of a great devil general like Mogulu was certainly no ordinary figure.

They immediately engraved the name “Insect Devil Yin Lingzi” deeply into their memories.

…

…

Just moments earlier.

When Qin Ming used Kunpeng Transformation to crush Demon General Ao Qing—

At the demon camp, Demon Marshal Ao Yu was still refining and studying the purple-gold furnace.

Suddenly, a sense of dread rose within him.

The bloodline connection that linked him to another mind abruptly snapped, and he could no longer sense it.

Demon Marshal Ao Yu’s cold face changed drastically. He even abandoned the purple-gold furnace he had been refining.

“Qing’er... what happened to him?”

“That’s impossible. With his cultivation, strength, and the treasures I gave him for protection, he should have been able to handle any danger...”

“What exactly happened?!”

His aura surged violently, and his expression became terrifyingly cold.

With a wave of his hand, he stored the restless purple-gold furnace and vanished instantly.

Something had happened to his own son, and he no longer had the heart to study the treasure.

Meanwhile, hidden inside the purple-gold gourd, Old Devil Qingyang stroked his beard and mused:

“Looks like little friend Qin really caused a major disturbance. Even the demon race’s Fusion Realm cultivators can’t sit still anymore.”

“As expected of him. It seems his methods have improved again since ascending to the Spirit Realm.”

“The old man will soon return as well. Heh heh heh!”

…

Within the demon race spiritual domain, the mirage in the sky suddenly exploded, unleashing heaven-shaking tremors.

The surrounding space twisted and warped.

The moment Qin Ming and the others left the immortal abode secret realm aboard the Myriad Blossoms Floating Divine Chariot—

A terrifying Spiritual Pressure descended from the void, accompanied by a thunderous roar:

“You dare kill my son and still think you can leave, you insects?!”

The furious voice caused the天地元气 nearby to go berserk.

Cultivators of weaker races were crushed by the Fusion Realm Spiritual Pressure and exploded into blood mist in midair.

The void twisted and split open.

Demon Marshal Ao Yu’s towering figure stepped out from the crack.

At this moment, he slaughtered indiscriminately, friend and foe alike, merely to vent the hatred of losing his son.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Sweeping the area with his demonic sense, he quickly discovered Qin Ming and the others fleeing through spatial jumps.

His enormous demonic will condensed into a heaven-reaching giant hand and reached toward the Myriad Blossoms Floating Divine Chariot.

Qin Ming and the others nearly lost their composure upon seeing it.

But just as the giant hand of heaven and earth energy was about to descend, a sudden change occurred.

“Heh heh! Little friend Qin, the old man has arrived!”

A purple-gold gourd-shaped furnace suddenly flew out from Demon Marshal Ao Yu’s body.

An extremely unstable and violent aura spread from within.

It seemed ready to explode at any moment.

Even Ao Yu had not expected this strange treasure to malfunction repeatedly and lose control at such a critical moment.

He was forced to interrupt his attack and suppress the purple-gold gourd.

But it was already too late.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion shook heaven and earth.

The entire purple-gold furnace exploded in midair, releasing world-destroying Heavenly Flame that rained across a thousand-mile radius.

Hidden among the flaming rain was a nearly undetectable soul body, stealthily heading toward Qin Ming.

“Wait for me, little friend Qin!”

“After suffering for all these years, I’ve finally found my organization again. It wasn’t easy!”

A streak of gray light flashed past unnoticed and entered the storage bag attached to Qin Ming’s Demon Infant Primordial Spirit.

“Oh? So it’s only your Demon Infant Primordial Spirit, little friend Qin? How did it end up looking like this?”

“Hiss... and that Silver-Winged Frostbee of yours. Why has its aura become so strange? It’s actually resisting some powerful will, and it’s already reached the mid-sixth tier? Looks like it encountered quite the opportunity! Heh heh heh!”

The moment Old Devil Qingyang returned to Qin Ming’s side, he was filled with curiosity. Yet all of Qin Ming’s changes seemed entirely within his expectations.

“Old ghost, now isn’t the time to discuss that. That Fusion Realm demon expert is about to catch up. Do you have a solution?”

Qin Ming transmitted his voice secretly.

“Heh heh! Don’t worry, little friend Qin. Hasn’t the insect world descended again?”

“Those terrifying insects should be enough to give the demon race a serious headache.”

As soon as Old Devil Qingyang finished speaking—

A terrifying vicious insect emerged from the crack torn open in the immortal abode secret realm.

Its enormous pincers alone were hundreds of meters long.

The instant it entered the Spirit Realm, it locked onto Demon Marshal Ao Yu and charged straight at him.

In an instant, terrifying battle sounds echoed throughout the demon race spiritual domain.

The aftermath swallowed everything within a thousand miles, making it seem as though the end of the world had arrived.

The disaster within the immortal abode secret realm happened to block this demon race powerhouse and allowed Qin Ming’s group to escape.

Elder Tu’e hurriedly controlled the divine chariot and activated another spatial jump, breaking out in a random direction.

…

Half a day later.

Inside the Myriad Blossoms Floating Divine Chariot.

Only after truly escaping danger did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“We’re finally safe.”

Having just gone through a major battle, Qin Ming immediately swallowed a medicinal pill, found a place to sit cross-legged, and began recovering.

The pale-faced Profound Tortoise Divine Lord approached and said:

“I never expected Fellow Daoist Yin’s insect path cultivation to be so formidable, nor that your body-tempering divine ability would be unmatched. Even Ao Qing of the Cangyue Heavenly Wolf Clan was no match for you.”

“If I had known you possessed such power, we wouldn’t have fled so miserably earlier.”

“After this battle, the name Insect Devil Yin Lingzi will surely become even more famous and resound throughout the human, demon, and devil races.”

He was simply speaking the truth.

Everyone present had witnessed what happened inside the secret realm.

Even Mogulu, despite being at the peak of Void Refinement, had become wary after seeing Qin Ming’s body-tempering divine ability and chose not to continue pursuing them.

Although much of that was due to the great upheaval in the immortal abode.

If Qin Ming had not displayed overwhelming power, killed Ao Qing, and intimidated Mogulu, Elder Tu’e would never have had time to activate the divine chariot and lead his people away.

After entrusting the divine chariot to his clansmen, Elder Tu’e approached the two of them and bowed deeply.

“On behalf of the Holy Lord and the entire Flower Spirit Clan, I thank the two human daoist friends for saving us. We have no way to repay this kindness. Here are the remaining Immortal Jades we promised as compensation.”

With a wave of his sleeve, two large chests of Immortal Jade and more than ten mid-grade Immortal Jades appeared before them.

These Immortal Jades represented nearly all the immortal ore mined by the Flower Spirit Clan while enslaved by the insects. The mines of the Linglong Immortal Abode had essentially been exhausted.

It was an astonishing fortune.

Even top Void Refinement sects in the Spirit Realm could not easily produce such an amount.

The moment the chests opened, dense Immortal Source Energy rushed forth.

Qin Ming and the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord were both invigorated.

“Then we won’t stand on ceremony.”

The Profound Tortoise Divine Lord’s complexion improved slightly.

After carefully counting everything, he split it perfectly in half and handed one portion to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming nodded and stored the Immortal Jades.

After expressing his gratitude, Elder Tu’e did not immediately leave.

After hesitating for a long time, he clasped his fists and said:

“I know the two of you are extraordinary. Our Holy Lord remains unconscious and appears to have damaged her foundation. Could you please take a look? I would be endlessly grateful.”

Qin Ming and the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord exchanged glances.

Strictly speaking, by freeing the Flower Spirit Clan from insect enslavement and bringing them out of the secret realm, they had already fulfilled their agreement with the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Lord.

There was no obligation to handle what came afterward.

However, if the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Lord had not used her great divine ability to trap all the insects inside the ruined immortal palace in an illusion, Qin Ming and the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord would never have succeeded so smoothly.

The Silver-Winged Frostbee had also obtained the crucial Origin Power it needed.

Both knew that the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Lord had little lifespan remaining.

Inside the Linglong Immortal Abode, she had repeatedly expended her origin power to use Fusion Realm-level great divine abilities, accelerating the loss of her vitality.

She was already at the end of her life.

Thus neither Qin Ming nor the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord dared promise they could save her.

The Flower Spirit Clan was not inherently evil. They too had suffered under insect enslavement.

Out of sympathy and courtesy, the two followed Elder Tu’e to visit her.

Soon afterward.

Elder Tu’e led them to a scenic cave dwelling.

Inside, the furnishings were simple.

On a stone bed lay the unconscious Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Lord.

The great being who had supported the Flower Spirit Clan all this time had finally fallen.

Sorrow filled Elder Tu’e’s face.

Inside the storage bag, Old Devil Qingyang clicked his tongue and transmitted:

“To think that after so many years, I would still see the current Holy Lord of the Flower Spirit Clan.”

“What a pity. She doesn’t have long to live.”

“Others might not be able to save her, but little friend Qin’s true body possesses extraordinary abilities and is highly skilled in the path of spiritual plants. You might actually be able to save and subdue this Fusion Realm Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Lord. Heh heh heh!”

He even wore a mischievous grin.

Qin Ming had already observed that the woman’s lifespan was nearly exhausted, and after hearing Old Devil Qingyang’s words, he was preparing to try.

But the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord spoke first.

Gritting his teeth with an expression of obvious pain, he said:

“Gu is willing to try. However, saving Senior Ten Thousand Flowers will require me to pay an enormous price.”

“Regardless of success or failure, your clan must give this Myriad Blossoms Floating Divine Chariot to me as a condition.”

Qin Ming was momentarily stunned.

As expected, this fellow still had a hidden trump card.

But he was truly cunning—he had set his sights on the Flower Spirit Clan’s powerful seventh-tier divine chariot.

Qin Ming himself had not even dared bring it up.

Then, under the gaze of Qin Ming and the others, the Profound Tortoise Divine Lord slowly withdrew a green talisman radiating astonishing spirit aura from his storage bag.
