The cracks on the immortal stone compass intensified. Suddenly, with a muffled sound, the huge compass exploded into pieces.
The celestial devouring insects in the cave abode finally woke up. They made strange noises. Though they didn't have facial expressions, Qin Fen could clearly feel their rage.
"Master, run!" Little Pig said urgently.
Qin Fen immediately rushed out of the cave on his flying sword. Before he left, he put away the immortal stones that flew out of the compass. Four black tornadoes followed behind him. They were the celestial devouring insects that flew out of the four spirit pith ponds.
These larger celestial devouring insects clearly had a high status. When they flew out of the cave abode, the insects outside were shocked at first, then they immediately followed behind them.
The majestic main mountain was gone. The plains that used to be covered in spirit grasses had turned into ruins. As soon as Qin Fen rushed out of the cave abode, he took out the flying cloud awl and turned into a white light that disappeared into the thick black fog.
Three days later.
Qin Fen looked at the blue sky behind him and heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the celestial devouring insects had really been shaken off.
He hurriedly found a deserted valley and prepared to go into seclusion. This exploration of Devil Mountain No.1 could be considered as a treasure in the midst of danger. Not only did he collect four Phoenix Flowers, but he also obtained four brand new Spirit Quintessence Ponds. Most importantly, he obtained over a hundred Immortal Stones.
Qin Fen found that immortal stones were also divided into grades. The immortal stones he got from the cave abode in Nine Heavens Snow Region were of a much lower grade. The immortal stones used in the immortal stone formation were of a higher grade. In fact, when Qin Fen saw the cave full of immortal stones that Chu Fan left behind, he even suspected that there was an immortal stone formation there too. But now, it seemed that it wasn't the case at all …
Qin Fen entered the astral space. He had a strong desire to break through. After this trip to West Sea Continent, he realized that his cultivation level was still too low. If he could reach disaster transformation state, he wouldn't have to run away from Ouyang Tian and the others.
Under the Tree of Life in the astral space, there was a strong breath of life. Qin Fen sat in a spirit pith pond. Under his feet was the intersection of three spirit veins. The immortal stones were placed around the pond. The strong spirit qi and immortal qi mixed together. It made people feel like their dantian was about to explode after taking a deep breath.
Rumble!
In less than half a day, a muffled sound came from Qin Fen's body. He had successfully stepped into the second level of the Cauldron Filling State. Because breaking through in the astral space wouldn't trigger a lightning tribulation, Qin Fen had no intention of stopping. He circulated the first two parts of the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Skill with all his might, and the True Essence in his body surged endlessly.
…
When Qin Fen opened his eyes again, he discovered that the Spirit Origin in the four Spirit Quintessence Ponds had been used up. More than half of the Immortal Stones around him had been used up. There were only forty to fifty pieces left. He didn't have the time to feel distressed about the resources he had consumed. He immediately looked at his own body, and when he felt the surging True Essence in his body, even he was shocked.
"Congratulations, master! He's already at the peak of the Cauldron Filling Realm! "Little Pig's excited voice rang out.
Qin Fen immediately sent out a palm strike towards the void. The air exploded, and half of the sky seemed to shake. A giant Zhen Yuan hand appeared, and with an indomitable momentum, it rushed out of the area where Qin Fen's divine sense could not detect it.
Rumble!
After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, there was a loud noise in the sky. It felt like the sky was falling. Qin Fen was shocked. This should be the sound of the palm strike from before.
It wasn't that Qin Fen hadn't seen experts at the peak of the Cauldron Filling Realm, but compared to the strength of his True Essence, those so-called peak of the Cauldron Filling Realm were like ants. They couldn't even withstand the power of one palm strike from him.
So what if they were at the peak of the Disaster Transformation Realm, let alone the Cauldron Filling Realm? Qin Fen felt that with his current cultivation level, he could still beat them.
Qin Fen gradually recovered from the joy of breaking through, and his face immediately became serious. He thought of the Devouring Celestial Insects that flew out of the main peak of Sky-Reaching Mountain, and the Immortal Stone Formation that he broke.
"Oh no! I don't know how long I've been in seclusion this time. Could Demon City have already ceased to exist? "
…
Thousands of miles away, Demon City.
The city was in ruins, and it wasn't difficult to see that a huge battle had occurred.
The once blue sky was gray. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't because black clouds covered the sun. Instead, it was a black fog formed by countless flying insects.
"In just three months, the black fog has occupied the central city on the periphery of Demon City. Now, only the 308 Demon Peaks are slightly safer. However, the Demon Peaks won't be safe forever. When the array on the peaks is broken, we'll still die …"
Outside Demon Peak No. 2, millions of Demon City Cultivators had gathered. The foot of the mountain and the sky were densely packed with people.
Hong Ming, the Thunder King, and the rest were also among the crowd. Now that they were facing a great enemy, they put aside their personal grievances.
"True Form Seniors, Demon City is facing a calamity that is not seen in 100 years. I hope that Mighty Seniors can step forward and lead the millions of Demon City Cultivators to resolve this crisis."
"True Form Seniors, please help!"
Everyone at the foot of the mountain shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.
Hong Ming and the rest looked at the gray sky with extremely grave expressions.
It wasn't that they didn't want to shoulder the heavy responsibility, but they were helpless against the Celestial Devouring Insects in the void. If they waited for these monsters to invade the Demon Peaks, even they could only wait for death.
"Everyone, please calm down. We're not just sitting back and not doing anything. We just don't know where to start." Heaven Demon Sect Leader Nie Yuan used his Quintessential Essence to transmit his voice. His loud voice could be heard within a radius of 50 kilometers of Demon Peak No. 2.
"What? Even True Form Seniors can't do anything? It seems that Demon City is really going to be destroyed. "
"Sect Leader Nie, you're the only senior in Demon City who has reached the level of Formation King. Please lead the Heaven Demon Sect disciples to set up a level seven defense formation to stop the Celestial Devouring Insects from invading," someone shouted.
Many cultivators agreed with this suggestion. To them, the level seven king formation was extremely powerful and could definitely stop those insects.
However, Nie Yuan had a bitter expression as he looked up at the sky and sighed. "Everyone! It would be great if the level seven king formation could stop those immortal insects. Everyone still doesn't understand how powerful the Celestial Devouring Insects are. Those are insects from the Celestial World. They probably don't have any natural enemies on this cultivation continent. Even if I set up a defense formation, the formation would be eaten by the immortal insects bit by bit. "
Eaten a level seven king formation? This was the first time everyone had heard of such a thing. They all looked extremely terrified.
Nie Yuan sighed again, but he didn't say anything else this time.
The area below Demon Peak No. 2 fell into silence. There were a million demonic cultivators gathered, but it felt lifeless.
At this moment, a figure flew over from the sky. Before he landed, his furious voice drifted over, "These Devouring Celestial Insects originally appeared in the Sky-reaching Peak. They were all released by an ant, and that ant is the man Hong Ming's daughter has taken a fancy to. That ant is the enemy of the entire Demonic City."
Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a white beam flashing over.
Someone had already recognized the person and exclaimed, "It's the clan leader of Spiritual Mountain's Ouyang Family, Senior Ouyang."
Seeing Ouyang Tian appear, Hong Ming's face instantly turned cold. He still remembered the battle below Demon Peak No. 1 three months ago. At that time, Hong Ming had just been injured in the battle with the Thunder King and the rest. He had joined hands with Qin Fen to barely suppress his opponent. However, now that he had mostly recovered, he was no longer afraid of Ouyang Tian.
"Old thief with the surname Ou, what nonsense are you spouting?" Hong Ming was enraged in front of everyone. Qin Fen was his and the Black Demon Clan's great benefactor. He couldn't allow others to frame Qin Fen behind his back.
Almost half of the group of cultivators who had been lucky enough to enter the Heaven Reaching Main Peak had died inside. Even the few cultivators who had managed to escape did not return to Demon City.
Those cultivators had seen the Celestial Devouring Insects fly out of the Heaven Reaching Main Peak. They had long expected that Demon City would be destroyed.
Now, there were very few cultivators who knew that Qin Fen had released the Celestial Devouring Insects. Only Ouyang Tian dared to say it in front of everyone. He looked at Hong Ming coldly and said, "Old dog Hong Ming, I, Ouyang Tian, have always been a man of my word. There's no need to badmouth others behind their backs. That day, your ant son-in-law broke the array door above the Heaven Reaching Main Peak and let the Celestial Devouring Insects fly out. I wasn't the only one who saw this. Many cultivators were present …"
The crowd became restless.
A black figure leaped into the sky and landed beside Ouyang Tian. "Senior Ouyang is right. It was Hong Ming's son-in-law who released the Celestial Devouring Insects. I brought people with me to stop him, but we failed."
The person who stood out was the Starlight Sect's Sect Leader, Dao Qi. Qin Fen had advised Dao Qi and the others to leave the Heaven Reaching Demon Peak, but they didn't listen. In the end, the Starlight Sect's Elders died tragically under the black fog.
Dao Qi blamed this anger on Qin Fen. He didn't dare to say it because he was wary of Hong Ming's powerful cultivation base. Now that he had Ouyang Tian's support, he immediately stood out.
Fortunately, Qin Fen wasn't here. Otherwise, he would have killed this fellow with a single slash. Such an ugly face would only be a scourge on the Divine Continent.
No matter what Ouyang Tian and Dao Qi said, Hong Ming didn't believe their nonsense. He knew Qin Fen's character very well. Although Qin Fen had a murderous nature, he was also a person who could distinguish right from wrong. He definitely wouldn't kill the innocent, and it was impossible for him to release the Celestial Devouring Insects on purpose.
However, Hong Ming's belief was useless because the millions of demonic cultivators under the Second Demon Peak had already determined that Qin Fen was the culprit. Everyone had been suppressing their anger, and now they were venting it on Qin Fen.
"Hong Ming, shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?" the Thunder King said coldly. It was obvious that he hadn't completely put aside his personal grudges.
Nie Yuan and the North Nether Mountain's sect leader, Demon Lord North Nether, also looked at Hong Ming with malicious intent. If they could destroy Hong Ming before the calamity of Demonic City, it would be a satisfying thing.
"Everyone, stop arguing. Now that Demon City is facing destruction, what's the point of arguing about who's right and who's wrong? If we don't come up with a countermeasure soon, we'll all die sooner or later, "Demon City's number one Rogue Cultivator, the Dark Demon, Jin Bei, shouted coldly.
The few of them stopped arguing. Just as Jin Bei had said, what's the point of arguing about who's right and who's wrong now? The entire Demon City was about to be destroyed. When that time came, everyone would be swallowed up, not even bones would be left. There would be no story left on the Divine Continent.
