Chapter 800: Bloodmare

Above the sky.

Madam Qingfu and Han Yuanzi were both stunned. They had clearly seen Yin Lingzi pursue that demon cultivator, and less than half an incense stick of time had passed.

Yet when he returned, that mid-Void Refinement demon had already become a corpse in his hands.

Was this the true strength of the Insect Devil?

It was simply too unbelievable.

After all, among Void Refinement cultivators, even with differences in minor realms, if one could not win and chose to abandon the body and flee with the Primordial Spirit, even a late Void Refinement cultivator would have to expend considerable effort to kill them completely.

Yet the Yin Lingzi before them seemed to have slain this mid-Void Refinement demon with hardly any effort at all.

No wonder he had been able to kill a demon general. Even among Void Refinement cultivators, there were probably very few who could match such strength.

Qin Ming looked at the black-robed cultivator of the Shadow Clan. To him, this one was even less significant.

With a wave of his hand, the overwhelming insect swarm descended.

The black-robed cultivator was instantly engulfed, letting out a shrill scream.

Both his magic treasures and physical body were frantically devoured by the swarm until they were riddled with holes.

However, Qin Ming spared his life for the moment. Placing a hand on the man's head, he used the Soulsearch technique.

A scream from the depths of the soul echoed across the sky, gradually growing weaker and weaker.

Qin Ming had already performed Soulsearch on the demon cultivator earlier. Combined with the memories of this Shadow Clan member, he obtained quite a bit of useful intelligence.

It turned out that the demons had already begun secretly contacting forces around the human race, especially hostile foreign races near the Redwater Wasteland.

They intended to use the insect tide to create chaos. Then the demon army stationed in the Skyridge Mountain Range would launch an offensive and seize this strategic region that was vital to the human, demon, and beast races.

At present, the beast race was directly facing the insect invasion and could barely take care of itself. Large portions of its army had already withdrawn from the Skyridge Mountain Range to reinforce the rear.

If the human race did the same, the demons could use the insects' strength to occupy the mountain range.

In the future, any major plans against the human race could proceed unhindered from there.

Qin Ming casually tossed the corpse into a storage pouch.

'In that case, the cultivation of the Profound Yellow Myriad Qi Blood Mother Vine finally has a source.'

'Although the blood of a mid-sixth-tier demon isn't true immortal or demon blood, it should at least be enough to grow that fragment of blood vine.'

Besides that, Qin Ming also learned an important piece of information about himself from the demon's memories.

Mogulu had infiltrated the human spiritual domain and was specifically searching for Yin Lingzi.

After all, a human cultivator capable of wielding True Demon Aura had never appeared in the history of the cultivation world.

Unless it was a human cultivator who had been infused with demonic energy and assimilated.

After Mogulu reported the matter, it was said that even a Sacred Ancestor of the Ancient Demon Realm had taken notice.

'Looks like I'll need to be more careful in the future. I can't casually use the True Demon Body in front of demons anymore, lest it bring unnecessary trouble.'

Qin Ming thought to himself.

Nearby, Madam Qingfu and Han Yuanzi watched Qin Ming casually kill two foreign cultivators in succession. Their hearts trembled.

The Shadow Clan black-robed cultivator had not been weak. Even the two of them working together had only managed an even fight.

Yet Insect Devil Yin Lingzi had merely released his insect swarm before instantly killing and Soulsearching him.

The terror of his methods was obvious.

No wonder both the beast race and the demon race had placed bounties on him.

After witnessing the ruthlessness of the Insect Devil firsthand, even these two Void Refinement giants—the sect master of Moonshadow Gate and the valley master of Greenhe Valley—were deeply shaken.

They quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Commander Yin's divine abilities are unrivaled. We are truly in awe!"

"Enough. They were only two foreign spies. From now on, increase inspections of foreign races within your respective territories and make sure every last hidden fish is rooted out," Qin Ming said with a wave of his hand.

Madam Qingfu hesitated before asking, "What about the insect tide?"

"The rabble aboard those spirit vessels should have a way to deal with it. For now, lead the insect tide elsewhere. I will report what happened here to the ancestors of my sect."

His tone allowed no argument.

"Yes! We shall obey Commander Yin's orders!"

The two immediately departed without delay.

The low-level foreign cultivators aboard the flying vessels saw their elders die and were struck dumb with fear. Once they recovered their senses, they fled in all directions.

But within moments, they were all captured by Madam Qingfu and Han Yuanzi.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming remained standing in the air, pondering for a moment.

Then his figure gradually merged into the void and disappeared.

…

…

In the Redwater Wasteland, within a secluded valley.

A streak of black escape light flashed through the air and entered the clouds surrounding the valley before disappearing.

The mist soon returned to normal.

Nothing within the valley appeared to change, indicating that an extremely sophisticated concealment array had been set up there.

After entering, the scene shifted.

It was actually deep within an underground cave residence.

Several powerful black-robed cultivators were already standing in the main hall.

On the backs of their robes was an eerie twisted blood-red symbol, seemingly the emblem of a demon organization.

The tall man at the front was none other than Mogulu.

As the escape light dispersed, it revealed a pale-faced young man.

He immediately bowed to those present before reporting respectfully to Mogulu.

"Reporting to Demon General. The demon envoy previously sent to incite insect-tide riots and attacks on cities... has just fallen."

"I already know. Have you discovered who was responsible?" Mogulu's voice emerged coldly from beneath his robe.

The young man trembled and hurriedly replied, "The demon envoy and the Shadow Clan cultivators died far too quickly. They likely encountered a human Divine Lord at late Void Refinement or above."

"If that's the case, then Yin Lingzi likely acted personally."

Another demon cultivator in the hall spoke calmly.

He had pale yellow vertical pupils and fish-gill-like structures on his cheeks. His body was exceptionally robust and radiated terrifying Blood Energy.

Clearly, he was a demon cultivator with an extremely powerful body-refining cultivation.

After a brief moment of thought, Mogulu instructed the subordinate:

"Continue monitoring Yin Lingzi's whereabouts. If possible, lure him out. He is not someone you can handle. Once you obtain information, send me a transmission. We will deal with him personally."

"Yes, Demon General."

The young demon immediately withdrew.

The burly gill-faced demon then chuckled.

"I never expected there to be a Void Refinement human even Lord Mogulu couldn't handle. Back when you led the holy race in the assault on Celestial Star City and fought the commander of the Violet-Gold Sacred Armor alone, you never needed our Bloodmare Organization."

"And now, for this Insect Devil Yin Lingzi, you're making such a big move."

"Tell me, are you really not confident of taking him down?"

"There are few people I trust. If the Sacred Ancestor had not personally ordered that this man be captured alive, why would I seek your assistance?" Mogulu replied flatly.

"Besides, someone who can wield the Thousand-Armed Demon Idol and a True Spirit Kunpeng incarnation and still kill Demon General Ao Qing—is he really someone easy to deal with?"

"A Kunpeng true form? Could it merely be some treasure or secret art allowing him to imitate it?" the burly demon asked in surprise.

"I saw it personally within the immortal abode secret realm. How could I be mistaken? Not only that, he can also control True Demon Aura."

"That is why he must be captured alive. We must uncover the secrets hidden within him."

The others from the Bloodmare Organization standing in the hall all revealed traces of surprise.

After finishing their discussion, their figures gradually faded away until they vanished completely.

Deep underground, silence returned.

…

…

In the Donghuang Mountain Range, atop the main peak of Little Turtle Peak.

The weather was clear and pleasant, while clouds stretched endlessly across the horizon.

The Devourer Rat, Little Silver Fox, Tian Ling’er, the Blackwater Crocodile Demon King, and the Silver-Winged Frostbee had all assumed human forms.

Together with Blue Ice Saintess, Yue Lingyan, Baili Hui, Mo Lingwei, and the others, they were gathered there.

The courtyard outside the main peak was filled with freshly harvested spirit melons and fruits, all grown on Little Turtle Peak.

A great harvest had recently taken place. Most of the fruits were fourth tier or above, and Qin Ming allowed them to enjoy themselves.

Everyone chatted and laughed together.

The Devourer Rat stood with one foot on a stone stool, speaking endlessly as it recounted the legendary tales of its lifetime of service under Qin Ming.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a blood-red streak of light shot in from the distance and arrived almost instantly outside the formation.

It was a massive swarm of blood-colored insects radiating terrifying pressure.

As the swarm dispersed, the figure of Yin Lingzi appeared.

The spirit pets were unconcerned, since they knew Yin Lingzi was merely Qin Ming's Demon Infant Primordial Spirit in disguise.

But Baili Hui, Mo Lingwei, and the others did not know this.

They only remembered that Yin Lingzi had once argued with Qin Ming on the main peak before leaving on bad terms.

Seeing him return now, they couldn't help becoming wary.

After all, the Insect Devil's reputation had become immense. He had even become commander of the allied forces resisting the insect tide in the Redwater Wasteland.

His status was extraordinary.

He was not someone ordinary cultivators could afford to offend.

"Daoist Yin has arrived. Please come inside and speak."

Unexpectedly, Qin Ming's calm voice emerged from within the cave residence.

The formation opened.

Yin Lingzi flashed an eerie smile at everyone and transformed into a streak of light that entered the cave.

Seeing Baili Hui and the others still confused, the Devourer Rat waved dismissively.

"It's fine. Let's keep eating."

Baili Hui looked puzzled.

"When did Master become so close with him?"

After all, very few people were allowed into Qin Ming's cave residence.

Inside the cave.

As soon as Yin Lingzi entered, he tossed a storage pouch to Qin Ming and said with a smile,

"I brought what you wanted. Fresh, too."

Qin Ming accepted it and put it away.

Then he sent the Demon Infant Primordial Spirit into the small spirit realm.

Things had been tense recently.

Now that he had obtained demon blood, he could finally cultivate the Profound Yellow Myriad Qi Blood Mother Vine.

He was also only a single step away from mid-Void Refinement and planned to break through first.

At that point, everything would be different.

Thus, Qin Ming entered the Immortal's Legacy Field atop the green mountain and walked directly toward the small fragment of the Profound Yellow Myriad Qi Blood Mother Vine.

He took out the demon corpse and casually tossed it beside the vine.

Instantly, the blood vine seemed stimulated.

Countless dragon-like roots burst forth, wrapping around the corpse and piercing into its flesh to absorb its essence.

Under Qin Ming's gaze, streams of demon blood flowed through the roots into the vine, restoring it with vigorous vitality.

A dazzling blood-red halo began to gather around it, while purple-gold patterns appeared along its branches.

A rich aura of Blood Energy Dao resonance filled the air.

Immediately afterward, Qin Ming consumed five Time Flies entries from his sea of consciousness.

While supplying the vine with demon blood as fertilizer, he also accelerated its growth.

He ensured its medicinal effects would not diminish.

A profoundly mysterious power of time descended upon the vine.

The blood-red vine began growing wildly.

In less than half a day, it reached a height of three feet, while the demon corpse beneath it was completely drained.

The vine remained bare, without leaves, possessing only a few sparse blood-colored thorns.

Yet an extremely rich spiritual aura and Dao resonance surrounded it.

Qin Ming knew the vine had already reached its highest attainable grade in its current state.

Further growth would likely require even rarer treasures.

He took out a jade bottle.

Using a specially crafted wooden blade, he cut a small opening into the vine.

At once, a stream of the legendary Profound Yellow Myriad Qi Blood Marrow flowed out.

Boom!

Just from collecting the marrow, Qin Ming felt an immense surge of origin Blood Energy rush toward him.

His entire spirit was invigorated.

Before long, he had gathered nearly half a bottle of the precious Profound Yellow Myriad Qi Blood Marrow.

Afterward, Qin Ming activated the Green Emperor’s Divine Eye.

A sweep of Four Seasons Divine Light passed over the wound.

The injury on the vine healed at a visible speed until it was completely restored.

"With this treasure, plus the Xuantian Jade Marrow Dew, it should be enough to advance my body-refining cultivation to mid-Void Refinement."

"I may even reach the realm of Mystical Body Comprehension."

Seeing Qin Ming tending to spirit plants, Xiao Qing transformed into a calf-sized form and happily ran over.

It circled him while making excited noises.

Qin Ming shook the jade bottle and patted its large head.

"This isn't for you."

"Your physical body is already unmatched throughout the Spirit Realm. Giving this to you would be a complete waste."

"I'll find something else for you."

Then Qin Ming stood and walked to another section of the Immortal's Legacy Field.

The sixth-tier Taiyi Void Origin Rice and Profoundspirit Immortal Peach that he had planted long ago had finally matured after years of careful cultivation.
