Chapter 858 Repelling the Great Demon and Unifying the Water Marsh

Faced with Qin Ming's innate ultimate technique, the renowned Fusion-level demon cultivator of the Cangyue Sky Wolf Clan instantly perished.

Tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation have vanished in vain!
As Ao Yu, the Demon General, lay dying, his eyes were filled with astonishment, confusion, and extreme resentment.

He roamed the demon realm for tens of thousands of years, but unexpectedly died at the hands of a human cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.
The moment Ao Yu Yao Shuai died, his enormous silver wolf form was revealed.

The remnant soul of the bull that imprisoned the demon general also sighed softly:
"It was that mirror!"

"It seems you have a close relationship with that guy, Qingdi."

"Kid, you'd better watch yourself from now on."

Qin Ming's use of his natal Eight Gates Reincarnation Mirror to kill Ao Yu Demon General seemed to be quite unexpected for Tihun Rhinoceros.

After all, given his current remnant soul state, he could only barely restrain it, and was unable to kill this fiend.

After he finished speaking, the tall, illusory image of the Bull Demon in the void gradually dimmed and dissipated.

Qin Ming watched the fading phantom disappear and bowed respectfully.

He was able to kill Ao Yu Demon General in one fell swoop thanks to this Bull Demon.

And indeed, the other party did give him an immense opportunity.

On Mount Niu Mo, with the fall of Demon General Ao Yu, the terrifying aftershocks of the battle gradually subsided.

Where the carcass of the Soul-Crying Rhinoceros appeared, a dark blue ox bone condensed, radiating immense demonic power, presumably its essence.

Qin Ming raised his hand and also put the item into his pocket.

After confirming that nothing was missed and all traces were removed, he disappeared and left Bull Demon Mountain.

The nearby demons were still in shock. They had only seen a giant ape appear and then uproot an entire mountain tens of thousands of feet high.
Immediately afterwards, a battle at the fusion level broke out, but it quickly returned to calm, and it was unclear what exactly happened.

After a long time.

Some of the demon cultivators who had been hiding cautiously peeked out.

"Have all those powerful figures left?"

"That's terrifying! That white ape senior must also have a seventh-level cultivation, right? He actually uprooted the Bull Demon Mountain."

"It must be! What kind of physical strength is this? Even the ancient true spirits are no more than this."

"And what about those two Nascent Soul stage experts? Weren't they also no match for Senior White Ape? Where did they go?"

"We hid far enough, otherwise, a battle between such powerful beings would have resulted in our annihilation."

"The waters of the Thunder Swamp Water Mansion are too deep; it actually hides so many terrifyingly powerful figures."

……

the other side.

The gray-robed elder of the Night Owl Clan transformed into a giant black bird, traversing the void at incredible speed to save Emperor Chen's Holy Son in time.

Then his gaze turned sinister as he looked at the Xuan Shui Crocodile and the Devouring Sky Rat.

"How dare you lay a hand on our clan's holy son! You're really asking for it!"

However, just as the gray-robed elder made his move, the surrounding space fluctuated violently and then a long crack appeared.

A massive spatial force suddenly emanated and surged forth.

Boo!
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a loud phoenix cry, an Ice Crystal Nether Sparrow spread its huge wings and flew out from the spatial rift at an incredibly fast speed.

The moment the Blue Ice Fairy appeared, she swept up the Xuan Water Crocodile and the Devouring Sky Rat, and they disappeared into the void in an instant.

From the moment she appeared until she rescued the two beasts, only two breaths had passed.

The gray-robed elder's supernatural power failed, and he immediately showed a look of surprise: "Could the Nether Sparrow with the spatial bloodline talent be..."

His combined-level demonic senses spread out, only to discover that Fairy Blue Ice, along with the Xuan Water Crocodile and the Devouring Sky Rat, had vanished without a trace.

Its speed was so fast that it left him, a Nascent Soul cultivator, far behind.

In the endless void.

The Blue Ice Fairy was frantically fleeing with the Mystic Water Crocodile and the Sky-Devouring Rat, traversing through the spatial turbulence.

Standing on the back of the Ice Crystal Nether Sparrow, the Devouring Rat wiped the cold sweat from its forehead with its little hand, still shaken, and said:

"That was too close, thankfully you arrived in time, Fairy Blue Ice."

"Master's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain was really too dangerous; it almost cost us two brothers our lives."

Xuan Shui Crocodile, however, remained calm, showing little emotion, and put away his wolf-tooth club.

The gray-robed elder of the Night Owl Clan and Emperor Dust Saint Son watched helplessly as the three rode off into the distance.

Emperor Chen, the Holy Son, was ashen-faced. Staring in the direction the group had fled, he clutched his chest, which had a gaping hole in it, and gritted his teeth as he coldly said:

"That stinking rat dared to scheme against me!!"

"I, the Holy Son, will remember this grudge! I swear I will not rest until I avenge it!"

The gray-robed elder said, "How could so many high-level demons suddenly appear in this small Thunder Swamp Water Palace?"

"And each of them seems to have a rather high bloodline."

"It actually managed to injure the Holy Son."

Having said that, he stretched out his withered hand, formed a strange hand seal, and unleashed a secret technique of manipulating energy.

Before long, they pinpointed the direction in which the Blue Ice Fairy and the others had fled.

The gray-robed elder waved his hand, his sleeves sweeping up the Holy Son Di Chen beside him, and prepared to continue the pursuit.

But at this moment.

The old man in the gray robe frowned. He had received a message, but its content caused his expression to change abruptly!
They immediately abandoned the pursuit and released Emperor Chen Saint Son.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Chen Saint Son frowned and asked, "Elder Feng, has something unexpected happened?"

"Something's happened at Bull Demon Mountain. A white ape with extraordinary strength not only uprooted the demon mountain with brute force, but also killed Demon General Ao Yu."

"This beast is no ordinary sixth-tier demon beast; it has definitely concealed its true cultivation level, which is probably at least mid-seventh-tier."

"The gray-robed elder of the Night Owl Clan said in a deep voice."

Not long ago, he fought fiercely with Ao Yu, the Demon General, and even managed to push him to the brink of defeat when he was seriously injured.

However, the gray-robed elder was also very clear about the strength of this renowned demon general among the demon race.

Even though Ao Yu was seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced, he knew that he couldn't kill him in such a short time.

Moreover, both he and Demon General Ao Yu were helpless against that Taiyin Demon Mountain, and all the signs pointed to this.
That's the white ape from the Thunder Swamp Water Palace; it's definitely not simple!
"what?!"

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; we never expected there to be someone pretending to be weak to devour us."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chen, the Holy Son, was extremely shocked.

The fall of a demon general in the Fusion stage is no small matter, and I never expected it to actually happen.

“Holy Son, that white ape is definitely no ordinary person. In my opinion, we should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.”

"If we were to encounter this fiend head-on, even I cannot guarantee your safety," the gray-robed elder said calmly.

"We'll settle this score later; they'll probably still be at the Lei Ze Water Mansion anyway."

Emperor Chen's expression shifted several times before he decisively said, "Alright then, let's retreat."

He was severely injured by the combined attack of the Xuan Shui Crocodile and the Devouring Sky Rat. If he were to encounter the White Ape again, he would likely perish. As the Holy Son of the Night Owl Clan, his future path to immortality is limitless. There is absolutely no need for him to take such a huge risk to vent his anger in this moment.

However, despite saying that, the two of them were also hesitant to act rashly, as they were intimidated by the death of Demon General Ao Yu.

Subsequently.

The old man in the gray robe rolled up his robe, and the two figures instantly disappeared into the void.

Not long after they left, Qin Ming's figure slowly emerged from the Little Spirit Realm.

Since the Lesser Spirit Realm was upgraded to a small world, it can avoid the detection of powerful beings in the Integration Stage, which is an extremely powerful method for him.

He was worried that the Xuan Shui Crocodiles and the others would be caught up by the two members of the Night Owl Clan, so he was preparing to go and meet them.

Unexpectedly, I encountered the conversation between these two people on the way.

Qin Ming's expression turned slightly strange, and he couldn't help but stroke his chin, thinking to himself, 'Could my strength have become this formidable?'

'They actually scared away a demon cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.'

'But it's also good; it saved me a lot of trouble.'

Thinking this, he contacted Fairy Blue Ice through his soul: "The matter here has been resolved. You can bring them back now."

The three beasts, who were desperately running away, simultaneously heard Qin Ming's telepathic message and couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

The Devouring Rat's worry turned to joy, and it sighed with emotion:
"As expected of the master, this mere Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye!"

After a long time.

Qin Ming reunited with Blue Ice Fairy and the others, and then returned to the nameless island.

He originally planned to leave this place, but after learning that the two members of the Night Owl Clan were extremely wary of the 'White Ape', he decided to stay here and seek a way to leave the Ancient Demon Realm.

After all, with the improvement of their strength and status, they will eventually be able to access the channels that allow the demon race to reach the spirit world.

According to what the Old Demon Qingyang said, the method for the Ancient Demon Realm to reach the Spirit Realm is similar to the Ascension Platform in the Human Realm.

However, the distance between the two great realms is too great, making it more troublesome than the human realm.

Such places are usually controlled by the upper echelons of the demon race, and ordinary demon cultivators of lower status have no access to them at all.

Even within the four major water-based territories, there is no such cross-border passage.

Therefore, he also planned to secretly work on this matter.

After they returned to that nameless island.

A tortoise the size of a millstone slowly swam back, muttering curses under its breath:
"That Brother Li is truly disloyal; after helping him, he actually abandoned me and ran away."

……

A few days later.

The chaos at Bull Demon Mountain triggered a series of events that caused a great uproar within the Wanze Demon Kingdom.

In particular, the fall of Ao Yu, the Demon General of the Cangyue Sky Wolf Clan during his Integration Stage, and the rise of the mysterious White Ape and the Xuan Shui Crocodile, caused a great stir that could not be quelled for a long time.

The three late-stage sixth-order demons of the three great water palaces turned into skeletons on Bull Demon Mountain, leaving the group leaderless.

There were even rumors and gossip that a mysterious white ape and a Xuan Shui crocodile had joined forces to kill Ao Yu, the demon general. Once the news spread, it became more and more mysterious.

The power of the Xuan Shui Crocodile that could summon the divine thunder of the nine heavens, and the famous scene of the white ape's strength that could uproot mountains and its aura that could overwhelm the world, also quietly spread.

They treated the white ape as a powerful figure above the seventh rank.

In an instant, the landscape of the four major water palaces underwent an unprecedented change.

Many people are speculating that he might be a big shot from the Giant Ape True Spirit Clan, hiding in the Thunder Swamp Water Mansion to cultivate in seclusion.

After this incident, many powerful forces among the demon races came to the nameless island to visit, hoping to make some connections.

Although Qin Ming used the Eight Gates Reincarnation Mirror to kill the old guy Ao Yu Demon General, he also paid the price of losing eight thousand years.

This caused him great distress.

An eight-thousand-year lifespan is close to the total lifespan of an ordinary cultivator in the Void Refinement stage.

"Fortunately, I have the entry, and if I eat a few more Xuanling Immortal Peaches, I should be able to make up for it," Qin Ming thought to himself.

As for matters of public appearances, he left them all to the Black Water Crocodile.

Qin Ming himself played the role of the elusive 'mysterious white ape'.

The once obscure island was suddenly thrust into the limelight, becoming a sacred place for the birth of new powerful demons.

This day.

Qin Ming was recovering his energy from the previous battle in his cave. He hadn't even had time to check on the Taiyin Demon Mountain in the Lesser Spirit Realm or the spoils after killing Ao Yu Demon General.

He reached out and plucked a white hair from his head, his heart aching as he said, "This one hair represents a thousand years of lifespan. If Demon General Ao Yu had lived any longer, I really wouldn't have been able to handle him."

"It was quite a close call that we were able to kill this fiend by chance; there was a lot of luck involved."

"Without the help of the Soul-Crying Rhinoceros, it's hard to say what would have happened."

As he was pondering, he saw a streak of blue light descend from beyond the nameless island, landing directly in front of Qin Ming's cave.

The light dissipated, revealing the towering figure of the Xuan Shui Crocodile.

His resolute face always maintained a firm and composed expression, giving him an aura of domineering presence.

After the incident at Bull Demon Mountain, Xuan Shui Crocodile became a tyrant in the Thunder Swamp Water Palace. Mentioning his name would cause all the demons to worship him.

As for the various rumors surrounding the mysterious White Ape Ancestor, there's no need to elaborate further.

These days, the nameless island has been dealing with the demon forces that have come seeking its fame.

When Qin Ming saw that the Xuan Shui Crocodile had come in person, he knew that there was a problem outside that the crocodile couldn't handle and wanted to ask for his opinion.

as predicted.

The imposing Xuan Shui Crocodile bowed to Qin Ming and said, "Master, many forces from Cangyuan Water Mansion, Tongming Water Mansion, and Bibo Water Mansion have expressed their intention to submit. They are all on their way. What do you think we should do with them?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's gaze became incredibly profound, revealing a thoughtful expression.

He immediately instructed the Xuan Shui Crocodile, "Since that's the case, I will grant you an audience."

"You will be free to make your own decisions about what happens from now on."

"I will send the Devouring Sky Rat, the Blue Ice Fairy, and the Golden Spirit to assist you."

"We'll make other plans once we've completely taken control of the demon forces in the four major water palaces."

"This is also a good opportunity to obtain some secret information about the demon race. Maybe it will come in handy when we return to the spirit world someday."

"Yes!" The burly young man, transformed from the Xuan Shui Crocodile, immediately agreed.

Just as he was about to leave, Qin Ming stopped him: "Wait a moment. I have obtained a piece of the natal demon bone of the ancient Soul-Crying Rhinoceros. If I mix this into that wolf-tooth club, it may increase the grade and power of this treasure several times."

"This can be considered my reward for your many contributions over the years."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Shui Crocodile paused, as he was extremely fond of the black wolf-tooth club.

His full strength was due to the blessing of this treasure, which allowed him to fully unleash his lightning-attribute bloodline abilities.

Hearing that Qin Ming actually had a way to refine this treasure to a higher grade, he felt a rare surge of emotion within him.
He immediately took out the black wolf-tooth club and handed it to Qin Ming.
