Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2570 Taking Root

"Ok?"

Yan Zhu Zhenjun noticed that the senses ahead were gradually becoming blurred, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. He urged them on and used his supernatural powers to greatly increase his speed.

Seeing this, the Demon Saint finally believed that Yan Zhu Zhenjun had truly discovered something, and couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

The half-demons of Dafeng Plain can be traced back to the era of the Dao Court, which is quite a long history. Although their strength is slightly weaker, their heritage is long enough that they should not be underestimated. Moreover, they have lived in Dafeng Plain for many years and may really know something.

Winning over Yan Zhu Zhenjun back then was indeed a brilliant move, and it might have allowed them to regain some of the initiative.

Thinking of this, the Demon Saint immediately followed.

The great formation was vast and boundless, and the two demon saints used their escape techniques to travel at incredible speed, covering countless miles in the blink of an eye.

Soon they arrived at a void filled with flames, where the aura that Yan Zhu Zhenjun had sensed had become extremely blurry.

Finally, that wisp of energy completely disappeared, but fortunately, it wasn't far away anymore.

Yan Zhu Zhenjun's expression darkened slightly as he focused all his attention on sensing the fluctuations coming from ahead. Along the way, all signs indicated that the layout of the great formation was similar.

The omnipresent flames resembled a nebula permeating the void, with golden light like suns scattered throughout the 'nebula'.

The interior of the golden light is not uniform. Some parts have been worn away by time and have become ruins, some parts have unknown origins and purpose, and some parts contain all kinds of treasures.

In any case, these golden lights were the most conspicuous and special parts of the great formation, and the aura he sensed must have been emanating from one of the golden lights.

Even though that wisp of energy has disappeared, as long as the surrounding golden light is searched, something will surely be found.

This is not difficult, because the golden lights are far apart from each other, and there won't be too many golden lights in a region.

The fluctuations ahead were extremely chaotic. Yan Zhu Zhenjun quickly locked onto the location of the two golden lights and was about to move forward when Yin Hu Yaosheng beside him suddenly changed his expression and shouted that something was wrong!

"Come on!"

The demon saint suddenly retreated.

At this moment, the Night Dragon Demon Saint and the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint were on their way. Although they had not yet met, both sides had exceptionally sharp spiritual senses. As soon as the Demon Saints discovered them, the two demons also noticed them.

"Want to leave!"

Night Dragon Demon Saint snorted coldly and immediately locked onto the opponent's location. The tide beneath his feet suddenly spun, forming a huge whirlpool that seemed to lead to an unknown destination. Night Dragon Demon Saint's figure sank and was sucked into the whirlpool, disappearing along with it.

At the same time, the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint transformed into a fire phoenix, attracting flames from all directions.

As endless flames merged into her body, the fire phoenix's size continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a colossal creature, its length unknown, spanning thousands of miles, resembling the legendary roc.

'Bah! '

A phoenix cry resounded throughout the void.

The giant fire phoenix raised its head and flapped its wings, its wings like fiery clouds hanging from the sky, and then disappeared in an instant, leaving only a crimson rainbow that seemed to stretch endlessly in the void.

the other side.

As the demon saint retreated violently, a dense blood aura suddenly surged from his body, rapidly expanding and instantly transforming him into a towering blood ape.

The Blood Ape was covered in red hair, and its eyes were blood-red, making it look like a bloodthirsty ape demon. Its legs were slightly bent, and its arms hung naturally, even longer and thicker than its legs.

The identities of the enemies were already obvious, and because the Demon Saint was not afraid of any of them, he did not want to meet them now.

It appeared to be a two-on-two situation, but Yan Zhu Zhenjun was only at the early stage of the Fusion Realm and was no match for them at all.

"Roar!"

The Ape Demon Howls at the Moon!

The sound was like a demonic chant.

Yan Zhu Zhenjun looked up and was surprised to find that a Milky Way had appeared in the sky.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky, like a celestial river flowing through this place. The starlight shines brightly in the Milky Way, but it is obviously flickering due to the influence of the firelight.

At this moment, the ape demon raised its arms, its reach seemingly spanning millions of miles, grasped two stars in the Milky Way, let out a low roar, and leaped up with all its might.

Yan Zhu Zhenjun produced a precious pearl at some unknown time. The pearl had seven orifices, from which smoke billowed. With a swift movement, he entered the pearl, which then shot out and disappeared into the ape demon's fur as the ape demon leaped up.

The roar shook the heavens.

The ape demon leaped and disappeared into the Milky Way, transforming into a blood-red star within it. Then, the stars shifted and the starlight, like water, pushed the blood-red star downstream.

The next moment, water flowed out of thin air beneath the Milky Way, the Night Dragon Demon Saint stepped out of the vortex, and at the same time, the sound of a phoenix's cry grew louder as a crimson rainbow crossed the sky.

At this moment, the stars in the sky had almost disappeared.

‘Boom! ’

On the banks of the Milky Way, strange phenomena suddenly occurred.

On the left is a raging torrent of water, and on the right is a rain of fire.

Water and fire collided in the middle of the river, their clash creating a tremendous tremor, but it was too late; they failed to shatter the stars.

Before the Milky Way disappeared, the blood star had already been washed to the end of the Milky Way.

"Demon Court?"

This left the two demon saints completely bewildered. They had come in pursuit of the Azure Phoenix Clan, but instead stumbled upon the New Demon Court. What was the reason for this?

Could it be that the Azure Phoenix Clan and the New Demon Court have already colluded?

If they joined forces, they shouldn't be afraid of us, but now they don't even dare to show their faces and turn to flee. Moreover, of the two remaining auras here, only one has a cultivation level comparable to ours, while the other is far inferior.

Something unusual must be going on!

Perhaps that wasn't the New Demon Court at all, but rather a tactic employed by the Azure Phoenix Clan to mislead them.

Despite the many unsolved mysteries, the two demon saints quickly made a decision to continue the pursuit, knowing that the truth would be revealed once they caught up.

……

far away.

Qin Sang paused, muttering, "They've already started fighting so soon?"

Then, upon hearing the information relayed by the little Qilin, his expression eased slightly, and he secretly felt fortunate.

What he fears most is that the two sides will meet face to face.

These demon saints are all incredibly shrewd. If given the opportunity to communicate, they can detect the anomaly with just a few words, rendering all their previous efforts futile.

The situation where the two sides were chasing and fleeing was exactly what Qin Sang wanted to see.

It's just unknown how long this can delay things.

Having successfully lured the two demon saints together, what happened next was no longer up to Qin Sang.

He and the little Qilin continued their journey, not venturing too deep into the cave, so as not to disturb the demon saints.

Before leaving, they went without stopping, and even then, they created a false impression to mislead the demon saints.

……

Ao Chen was abandoned, and although he longed to fight the Demon Saint, he was aware of his own limitations.

"Alas! If one cannot become a demon saint, one is still but an ant!"

Ao Chen sighed, the slight sense of pride he had gained from his previous victories during the hunt in the North Sea had completely vanished.

The previous battles were irrelevant to him; he could only continue his treasure hunt. Ao Chen then began searching around, and soon found a golden light nearby.

After some investigation, Ao Chen discovered that he could enter the place. Just as he was about to disappear into the golden light, he suddenly felt a violent tremor.

He turned abruptly, looked towards the source of the tremor, and said softly, "Have they already started fighting?"

The only reason it could have spread this far is because it was the aftermath of a battle between demon saints.

"It's really amazing!"

Ao Chen sighed, raised his dragon spear, pierced through the golden light, and felt his feet touch solid ground.

A quick glance around revealed a river of lava nearby. He found himself in a valley, the cliffs on either side barren and desolate.

He silently channeled his supernatural powers to sense the surrounding energy and felt that there was some danger above the valley. After pondering for a moment, he stepped forward into the valley.

After walking for a while, the terrain on both sides became more and more open. Finally, we arrived at the end of the valley. What blocked our way was not a cliff, but a bare rocky mountain.

A stone mountain stands alone in front of the valley, looking strangely peculiar.

Ao Chen looked him up and down and quickly realized the problem.

'puff! '

The dragon spear flew out of his hand, piercing deep into the root of his mountain. With a flick upwards, the root of his mountain cracked open with a snap, and the rocky mountain trembled violently.

Ao Chen darted forward, supporting the base of the nose with his arms.

With a loud crash, the mountain base completely broke off, and Ao Chen lifted it up with his bare hands. He stood there supporting the mountain, and the scene behind it came into view. Suddenly, he was stunned.

Behind the stone mountain was a lava lake, the lava as hot as boiling water, and in the center of the lava lake sat a human figure, looking up at them.

This person appears to be retrieving a treasure from the lake; it is none other than Qin Sang, whom he had just parted ways with.

I never expected to meet you here again.

This was certainly not Qin Sang's true form, but rather the avatar that had lured them here earlier. Qin Sang did not dispel the avatar, because she had left a backup plan within it; if this plan failed, she could try again.

Now that we have succeeded, this avatar is no longer important.

Their eyes met, almost a carbon copy of the last time, only now the roles were reversed, and Ao Chen's next move was quite unexpected.

Upon seeing Qin Sang in the fire, he hesitated for a moment, then released his hands and took a step back.

'boom! ’

The rocky hill has returned to its original position.

Ao Chen simply left, leaving behind only the words, "The treasures here are yours, we're even! Next time, you're not allowed to run away again!"

……

"Haha! I, Suzaku, am an unparalleled genius!"

Suddenly, the Vermilion Bird spread its wings, looked up at the sky and laughed wildly. Its white whiskers, which were hundreds and thousands of vine roots, fluttered all over its body, making it look like a monster with countless tentacles. This scene was extremely terrifying.

"Stop!"

Seeing Qin Sang's serious expression and his inability to share his joy, Zhuque glared at him fiercely, "What are you thinking about!"

"It's nothing, I just met a wonderful person."

Qin Sang smiled nonchalantly, put aside her distracting thoughts, and looked at Zhu Que with anticipation. Could the climbing vine finally take root here?

The Vermilion Bird raised its proud head, jumped off Qin Sang's shoulder, circled for a moment, and landed in a certain spot, saying confidently, "Right here!"

As it spoke, the green leaves floated, and the green vine pattern on its body gradually became three-dimensional. Finally, the climbing vine detached from its body and became a slender green vine with tender white roots swaying gently.

The climbing vines at this time were much smaller than they had been in the small grotto.

Qin Sang was very curious about how such a small green vine could lead them through the great formation and directly to the depths of the cave.

As soon as this thought crossed Qin Sang's mind, she noticed the change in the climbing vine. One of its tendrils suddenly tightened and stopped moving, as if it had grabbed onto something.

Then came the second one, the third one...

There was no rocky soil around, yet more and more roots took hold.

'Crash...'

The climbing vines swayed gently, their verdant leaves shimmering with a vibrant sheen, adding to their life force.

"It'll be done soon, hurry up and go!"

Zhuque urged Qin Sang.

Qin Sang reluctantly withdrew her gaze and, together with the little Qilin, approached a cluster of golden light, summoning the Thunder Beast Guardian.

This golden light was something they had carefully sought out.

Because the enemy was too powerful, the Thunder Beast Guardian had no opportunity to use its skills. Qin Sang now wanted to release the Thunder Sacrifice Oath sealed within its body and integrate it with the Azure Phoenix True Thunder, disguising it as a divine power of the Azure Phoenix Clan, and creating some illusions to buy himself as much time as possible.

The scene inside the golden light was very different from other places. It was filled with dazzling golden light, and countless golden beads floated in the golden light. The golden beads were as big as a fist and as small as a bean. Each golden bead exuded a violent aura.

Qin Sang didn't know what this place was originally used for, but he could tell that these golden beads contained violent power, on the verge of exploding. Applying some external force could detonate them, and once they exploded, they would unleash extremely terrifying power.

This was not an isolated case within the grotto-heaven; many golden lights were already on the verge of destruction. And the tremors within the grotto-heaven accelerated this process.

The Thunder Beast Guardian landed at the edge of the golden light, its eyes flashing with lightning, and a page of lightning paper slowly emerged from its pupil.

‘Crack! ’

Qin Sang spread his wings, and a bolt of azure lightning struck the Thunder Sacrifice Oath squarely. Then, under his and the Thunder Beast Guard's joint control, the lightning paper, its surface shrouded in azure lightning, pierced through the golden light.

"go!"

Qin Sang immediately fled.

The next moment, Qin Sang heard a deafening roar coming from behind her.

The explosion was so terrifying that it made his heart skip a beat. If he had remained where he was, he would have been blown to ashes on the spot.

It's a pity those gold beads couldn't be taken away; otherwise, they could have been collected and used as a trump card in the future.

Qin Sang looked back and saw that the fiery hurricane that had swept along the way was not yet at its peak.

The golden light at the center of the explosion was extremely dazzling, and then a golden halo appeared, expanding outward at an astonishing speed, destroying everything in its path!

Compared to this power, even the Thunder Sacrifice Oath is insignificant.

However, as long as a trace of lightning power and a trace of a blue phoenix aura remain within the golden light, their goal will be achieved.

Qin Sang glanced at it only once before turning her gaze away and hurrying to meet up with Zhu Que.

At this moment, the climbing vine has completely taken root, and the tips of the vines sway gently as they continue to grow, as if they have penetrated an invisible barrier and reached the other side.

‘Wow! ’

The leaves spread out and grow opposite each other on both sides of the vine, forming a vine ladder that can cross the void.

"Hahaha!"

Zhuque laughed three times and urged Qin Sang to jump onto the vine ladder. Then they were enveloped in the blue light of the climbing vine. As the vine continued to grow, it carried them to another place.

Once they disappeared, the climbing vines stopped growing.

Then the roots of the climbing vine trembled slightly and began to detach, as if pulled away from the other end, until the last wisp of blue light dissipated and the surroundings returned to normal. Just then, golden light struck, completely erasing that last trace! (End of Chapter)
