Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 443 - 196: The Rogue Star

Wisps of black mana, like smoke, surged from the armor, wrapping around the "Old Demon's" armor and completely covering its golden luster. The group of Ancient Golden Core Cultivators was horrified to discover that this power could pollute and annihilate anything, eerily similar to Priest Li's World-Purifying Divine Power! None of them dared to directly confront the armor's attacks anymore. The pseudo personality was using Martial Arts from a million years ago, an accumulation of the Demon Clan Civilization's countless millennia of brutal combat. In terms of close combat alone, Wang Qi was no match for this pseudo personality.

Under the combined effects of martial skills, the High Entropy Force of the Heavenly Entropy Technique, and the Demon Clan's War Armor, this guy gradually turned the tide of the battle!

A crimson sword light, like a True Dragon, roared towards them. Zhai Difeng finally stabilized his injuries and, with his remaining hand, performed the Fierce Blood Dragon Slaying Sword technique. He used his waist sword recklessly, and it was already cracked before it even hit its target. Wang Qi couldn't dodge in time and was struck squarely by the massive Sword Qi. Stimulated by the black qi, the Sword Qi became chaotic and uncontrollable, causing the sword itself to explode in mid-air. Wang Qi was thrown by the blast wave toward the cave exit, bellowing angrily, "You rabble, don't even think about touching me!"

Zhai Difeng shouted, "Careful! It's going to use super high speed again!" While the opponent had yet to attack, several Golden Core Stage experts reorganized their formation. The Great Demon's arrogance had deeply imprinted itself in their hearts over the course of the battle.

Such a Great Demon, killing without a second thought, was absolutely unambiguous!

However, unexpectedly, the demon creature suddenly retracted its black qi and turned to flee into the forest, vanishing from sight. Several Golden Core Cultivators were stunned for a moment, thinking the opponent might be trying to change the battlefield, and did not dare to follow rashly. But after a short while, even the Demon Power had disappeared.

The group of Golden Core Cultivators looked at each other in dismay. One of them asked, "Is this a trap, lying in wait to strike us with thunder if we go out?"

"If we don't go out? Just keep waiting?"

"It took over that Heterodox Cultivator's body; maybe it knows something?"

"But... we could completely heal up before going out, right? That would be even less advantageous for it..."

The group first discussed in hushed tones, their voices gradually growing louder, but the eagerness for battle faded more and more.

Priest Li sneered coldly, "It ran away, a bunch of idiots."

His steadfast faith and the path of sincerity shielded him from the influence of Demon Power.

Nobody could believe that such a terrifying individual would suddenly turn cowardly and flee, especially since the Demon Power had been as sharp as a knife just before the escape!

Even its escape was done with brazen audacity, truly befitting the strength of the Demon Clan, a demon from a million years ago!

Zhai Difeng swept his sword around, clearing a large area with his imposing Sword Power, confirming there were no ambushes. He immediately made a decision, "Priest Li, Mr. Qian, Lin Zongdi, the four of us will pursue that old monster to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Modern Heretics and bringing trouble to us, as well as to retrieve that Immortal Artifact. Junior Sister Lin, treat Yan Xiong, gather the remaining disciples to leave, and set up explosive spiritual prohibitions, ready to destroy this place and cover our tracks at any moment."

The middle-aged swordsman known as Mr. Qian looked somewhat displeased, "We from the Heavenly Book Tower had an agreement to acquire the inheritance..."

"The inheritance of the Ancient Cultivators has been consumed, and it's on that demon creature now!" Zhai Difeng snorted impatiently, mounting his Escape Light and shooting into the sky, "No one should confront that demon creature alone upon finding it, report the location immediately upon encounter!"

After agreeing on a secret signal, Zhai Difeng flew off into the distance. Priest Li snickered coldly and quickly followed. The remaining two, with no choice, also set out in search of the demon.

Nearby, Wang Qi crouched on a tree. His entire presence was concealed, melding with nature, and he was enveloped by a peculiar electromagnetic field that bent the light around him.

After escaping their line of sight, he deactivated the armor and stored both the armor and the Holy Artifact petal in his Storage Bag to isolate their aura, and he waited for an opportunity.

If it hadn't been for the all-out effort to break through the Sea of Tentacle last time, Priest Li might not have been able to detect him while he was concealing his breath.

Looking at the rainbows of people rushing out of the cave, he said with a slight smile, "Time for the next COS to make an appearance."

A golden card flashed in his hand.

Lin Jing forcefully removed the charred parts from Yan Xiong's body, then nourished his flesh with the Water Element Technique. She sighed, knowing that although his life was saved, the physical body he had trained for so long was ruined.

The body refiners who shook the Far Sea would no longer exist for a long time.

Suddenly, she sensed something and turned to look at the cave entrance. There was an exceedingly frivolous fellow, wearing black clothes with his chest exposed, hair deliberately dyed yellow with chemicals.

His presence was now very apparent, a Foundation Establishment Stage Modern Cultivator.

Because of the alteration to his features by manipulating his muscles with mana, Lin Jing didn't recognize Wang Qi. With a flick of her finger, she silently rang a small bell hanging at her waist, signaling "an unexpected non-target enemy within our capacity to deal with." However, a hint of wonder arose in her heart, "He seems so hearty... Even though he's definitely an enemy, how curious."

She didn't know that by sending this message, she had already sealed the fate of her entire team.

Were they attracted by the recent battle or had they been tracking all the way? However, since they had been discovered, they could not be left alive. She sharply demanded, "Heterodox, state your name."

Though the fellow appeared right after the demon creature broke free, which was rather suspicious, no one would believe that this youth and that demon creature were the same entity; their temperaments were too different.

Wang Qi didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "There are many traces left by mortals outside, did you do this? Where have all those people gone?"

Lin Jing was startled, "Are you here to track the matter of those mortals?"

She was all too aware of the origins of those mortals. The Hongyuan Sect had mobilized its followers to sacrifice their non-believing relatives to the gods, acquiring a bunch, buying from local Shenzhou traffickers, obtaining another bunch, and finally kidnapping more to reach the number Priest Li required for the sacrifice.

Wang Qi chuckled, "How could that be? Although it sounds strange to say, I have a greater admiration for the big boss types than for a Law Enforcement Officer!"

"But..." Wang Qi pulled at his collar with his right hand while tugging the hem of his clothes down with his left, "I, Wang Qi, have a dream! One day I will wipe out all the locusts of this world!"

Lin Jing knew all too well that "locusts" referred to the contemptuous way Modern Heretics mocked the Righteous Skills. She sneered, "Turns out you're a madman..."

While speaking, the sword at her waist turned into a white rainbow, swift as lightning, and shot out!

Wang Qi maintained his iconic pose. Just as the Flying Sword was about to hit him, an unexpected fist extended from behind Wang Qi and deflected the Flying Sword with a punch.

"Soul out of the body? Dual souls in one?" Lin Jing eyed this new enemy with confusion. This yellow human figure looked like a Mechanical Man, but its texture was clearly that of a soul.

Before the Nascent Soul or Primordial Spirit stages, the soul is very fragile, and using it to fight while out of the body is tantamount to suicide. But Wang Qi was clear-minded, showing no signs of suddenly losing a cognitive organ. He struck a bizarre pose, his left hand extended forward, his right elbow bent, the palm facing the elbow joint of his left arm, assuming an odd stance.

"Is that some Fist Technique? What's the point of that pose?" Lin Jing enhanced herself with a defensive spell while observing Wang Qi. To her surprise, Wang Qi suddenly bellowed, "Golden Experience!" The yellow soul behind him actually separated from Wang Qi and lunged at Lin Jing!
