Chapter 941 Escape
Outside the Holy Soul Hall, a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly descended!

A figure emanating terrifying demonic energy appeared before the group of old monsters.

Faced with this sudden change, even these cunning old monsters showed expressions of shock.

It should be noted that the Fifth Elder of the Void Spirit Clan was indeed at the late stage of the Integration Realm.

These novice cultivators were no match for this person.

Such a powerful cultivator at the Fusion Realm was actually sent flying by a single palm strike, which shows how terrifying the cultivator's strength was.

The old man surnamed Zhong from the Void Spirit Clan was completely flustered and had no idea what had just happened.

But then, the demonic light in mid-air revealed the figure of a woman, who was none other than Xi Ying, who had entered the Soul Clan ruins with the old monsters of the demon race.

However, her entire aura changed completely, and a massive peak-stage Nascent Soul spiritual pressure was released, causing the atmosphere of the entire space to stagnate.

With every gesture, the overwhelming aura of dominance over the demon realm was fully displayed.

Even Elder Kui Mu, who was in the mid-stage of the Star Palace Fusion Realm, could not see through the Succubus Star at all.

Everyone present was utterly astonished by the woman's ability to remain unaffected by the suppression of her cultivation level within the secret realm, and by her true cultivation level.

Their usually high and mighty ancestors could only look up at this demon woman before them.

While still reeling from the shock, Sikong Laomo and the others realized that among the demons in the Integration Stage, only a handful possessed such terrifying strength throughout the Ancient Demon Realm.

Therefore, it's not hard to guess the Succubus's identity.

After realizing what had happened, Sikong the Old Demon and Renshui the Ancestor hurriedly bowed to the heavens and said:

"Your subordinate greets Lady Succubus!!"

These old monsters also showed strange expressions, not expecting that this powerful demon would disguise himself as a formation master and secretly follow them.

"It's actually the Succubus Star, one of the Twelve Demon Stars!"

Elder Kui Mu from the human race, as well as the Ling Yuan Ancestor from the three major sects, were naturally very familiar with the names of these important figures from the ancient demon realm.

They were all terrified, already thinking about how to survive against the opponent's extraordinary abilities.

However, to the surprise of the demon clan elders, the Succubus Star ignored them and instead flew directly over them, hurtling towards the entrance of the Soul Clan ruins.
Sikong Laomo and Renshui Laozu and the others looked at each other, wondering what had happened inside.

But then the Succubus Star's voice came: "Why don't you run away quickly? Something has changed in the Soul Clan's secret realm; a great terror is about to emerge from it."

Upon hearing this, the old monsters on the demon side all showed expressions of astonishment.

Even a powerful figure like the Succubus Star was being chased and forced to flee.
Rumble!
The next moment, countless gray tentacles, carrying an extremely terrifying aura, began to spread outwards from within the Soul Palace, sweeping across with overwhelming force.
The Fifth Elder of the Void Spirit Clan, who had been swatted away by the Succubus Star, crawled out of the ruins in a disheveled state, his previous arrogant demeanor gone.

He also saw the octopus-like soul beast, his eyes widening in disbelief as he uttered:
"This is actually the Shadow Touch of the Shadow Realm. How could such a powerful being appear here?"

The Fifth Elder of the Void Spirit Clan was also a ruthless person. Upon seeing such a terrifying existence appear, he transformed into a golden light and disappeared from the spot without saying a word.

His actions left everyone present speechless.

hoo hoo hoo!
The enormous soul beast wriggled its gray tentacles and in an instant, it had already reached the outside of the Soul Palace.

At this point, everyone realized that the situation was getting out of control, and they all used their own methods to escape outside.

But look at that soul beast from the Shadow Realm; it still has two broken black chains stuck in its body, and it's caught in a fit of rage and madness.

The two thick tentacles had vanished without a trace, seemingly severed and unable to regenerate.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Lingyuan Ancestor and Huoling Ancestor, along with the others, felt the terrifying aura behind them as it gradually closed the distance, and they were all terrified.

These old monsters in the Integration Stage had finally cultivated to this level, and they cherished their lives even more than others.

However, the human race's old monsters were extremely unlucky, as they were targeted by the tentacle monster that sprang out of the Soul Palace.

A tentacle descended from the sky, striking towards the Spirit Origin Ancestor of the Spirit Misty Sect.

When Lingyuan Ancestor saw this, he almost cursed. So many old monsters were fleeing, but Keke had chosen him.

He quickly cast several layers of protective spiritual light on himself by making hand seals, and then summoned a silver spiritual shield behind him.

Bang!
The gray tentacles, tens of feet in size, instantly slammed into the protective aura of the Spirit Origin Ancestor, shattering it along with the defensive spiritual treasure.

Lingyuan Ancestor was pierced by the immense force, his entire body flying backward like a rag doll, crashing into the ground, with a cloud of black mist appearing on his face, and his body being invaded by the power of shadow.

With a single strike from the gray tentacles, the patriarch of the Lingmiao Sect was severely injured.

Lingyuan Ancestor continued to fly out of the pit, using his cultivation technique to forcefully suppress the rampaging magic power within his body, and crushed a yellow talisman to speed up his escape.

On the other side, the Fire Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect was not so lucky. He was caught by a tentacle, and his physical body collapsed.

The Fire Ancestor's primordial spirit flew out, its face filled with terror, but it was frozen in place by the light emanating from the soul beast's eyes.

The soul beast opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing the primordial spirit into its belly.

The other ancestors, seeing that the tentacle soul beast had devoured the Fire Element Ancestor with such ease, all showed extreme fear and did not hesitate to burn their own source power to flee outside.

……

……

the other side.

After entering the space of the soul pillar, Qin Ming found that the space inside was much smaller than that of the medicine garden.

In a space filled with gray fog, there is a pond with flowing gray water, and nothing else around it.

This is in stark contrast to the previous medicinal herb garden.

A spring was gushing from the pond, and it faintly exuded the aura of a seventh-tier spiritual creature.

"This is the legendary 'Soul Cleansing Pool' that haunts the dreams of countless Void Refinement cultivators!"

Qin Ming could sense a strange fluctuation emanating from the pool of water.

According to the old demon Qingyang, this Soul Cleansing Pool is a great opportunity for body-refining cultivators to achieve fusion. When he saw it with his own eyes, his emotions were in turmoil.

However, even cultivating in the Soul Cleansing Pool is accompanied by great risks. Ordinary cultivators cannot withstand the Soul Cleansing Infusion, and instead of benefiting from it, it will become a death warrant.

“Young friend Qin, even if you need to use the Soul Cleansing Pool to refine your body, it’s not something that can be done overnight. Now that there’s been another change in the Soul Clan’s secret realm, I suggest you take the Soul Cleansing Pool into the Lesser Spirit Realm and leave this realm first,” the old demon Qingyang suggested.

Qin Ming agreed with the old demon's suggestion and immediately summoned the landscape painting transformed from the [Sumeru Mountains and Rivers] entry, capturing the entire Soul Cleansing Pool into the Lesser Spirit Realm.

Once he returns to Little Turtle Peak, he will have ample time to cultivate. After doing all this, Qin Ming can guess what's happening outside; it's most likely that the soul beast from the Soul Well is wreaking havoc outside.

Therefore, having achieved their goal, they prepared to make a hasty retreat.

He first sent out the Shaking-Head Warrior, the Sky-Devouring Rat, to scout out the situation.

Soon after.

The Devouring Rat ran back and said to Qin Ming, "Master, that octopus monster from the Shadow Realm has gone after those old monsters. It's the perfect time for us to go out."

Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this, then took out the stone talisman and left the Soul Pillar space, flying towards the outside of the Holy Soul Hall.

Outside, the area was ravaged by the terrifying soul beast's attack.

Qin Ming concealed his aura and returned to the Holy Soul Hall. After releasing his divine sense to confirm that there was no great power around him, he walked out of the Holy Soul Hall.

Just as he returned to the main hall, a burst of intense light erupted in the void, and a gigantic human face reappeared.

Qin Ming was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

But then, a magical seal was projected onto the face in mid-air, and a beautiful figure appeared from it.

Qin Ming stared intently and saw the figure in the radiance. It was actually Shuangying, the widow of the Soul Clan, who had been taken away by the Void Face.

She seemed to have obtained a great opportunity at this moment, and the aura on her body became extremely obscure, so much so that even Qin Ming, a great cultivator, could not see it clearly.

"Frost Shadow! It's so good that you're alright!" The Devouring Rat was overjoyed to see Frost Shadow safe and sound again.

When Shuangying appeared in the main hall, she still looked bewildered, but after seeing Qin Ming and the Devouring Sky Rat, her pretty face showed great excitement.

"Senior Azure Emperor Venerable!"

Qin Ming didn't go and didn't intend to abandon her. After asking around, he learned that Shuangying had also obtained a great opportunity after returning to the Soul Clan Ruins.

They might even obtain the core inheritance of the Soul Clan.

After exchanging pleasantries with her, Qin Ming had the little silver fox lead her into the desolate realm and settle her in.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ming also fled wildly towards the entrance of the Soul Clan ruins, intending to leave this place.

Through this fortuitous opportunity, he has accomplished his goal of strategizing for the fusion of forces, and has gained something to some extent.

Two hours later.

Qin Ming followed the original footprints and returned to the twisted gate.

Along the way, he also discovered many traces of battles, which were obviously caused by those old monsters in the Integration stage encountering that terrifyingly powerful soul beast.

Qin Ming was cautious throughout the journey. After leaving the Lesser Spirit Realm, he planned to send out a beam of spiritual light to test the waters before tamping the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle and intending to leave this place of trouble.

As the power of space surged, the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle transformed into a streak of silver light, traversing the void and flying towards the outer region.

But just as Qin Ming escaped the Soul Clan ruins, he heard a violent commotion outside, clearly the fluctuations of a battle at the Integration level.

As soon as Qin Ming activated the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, it attracted the attention of those outside.

When he looked closely, he saw that several old monsters from the human race were being chased and killed by Ancestor Renshui and others.

Among the human race's combined ancestors, Huo Xing Ancestor and Che Qu Ancestor were nowhere to be seen. Only Ling Yuan Ancestor of Lingmiao Sect and Kui Mu Elder of Xing Palace were left, fighting and retreating with Zi Chen Divine Lord.

To make matters worse, the Spirit Origin Ancestor looked extremely disheveled, covered in blood, as if he had suffered a serious injury.

After discussing it, the two decided to separate and escape.

Coincidentally, the direction in which the Spirit Origin Ancestor fled was exactly in the void where Qin Ming's Boundary-Breaking Shuttle was located.

As a streak of light shot towards him, the Spirit Origin Ancestor also noticed the existence of the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle. Even though he was seriously injured, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Behind him, the Ren Shui Ancestor's eyes flashed with a fierce light, transforming into a streak of crimson light, his sinister expression fixed on the Ling Yuan Ancestor.

"Old man, I didn't expect you to be seriously injured by that monster. This is a golden opportunity!"

"I, your ancestor, will personally send you on your way!"

Immediately afterwards, he waved his sleeve, from which several streaks of blood-red light shot out, transforming into crimson threads that attacked Lingyuan Ancestor.

These thin, blood-red lines faintly exuded a foul aura, causing one to feel dizzy and disoriented.

Blood Demon Diamond!

Lingyuan Ancestor was already at his limit, and now, under the opponent's strong attack, his expression changed drastically.

He swung his sword behind him with a backhand motion, and used the small bell to protect himself.

Ding!
A crisp sound rang out, and several Blood Demon Diamonds were deflected by the Spirit Origin Ancestor, but one still managed to break through his spiritual treasure and protective aura, passing right through his body!

Lingyuan Ancestor coughed up blood, his face turning as white as paper.

The cultivation level of Ancestor Renshui was always a notch higher than that of Ancestor Lingyuan, and this Blood Demon Drill Divine Ability was one of his trump cards.

At this moment, the attack inflicted a fatal wound on Ancestor Lingyuan.

Lingyuan Ancestor's figure fell from mid-air, his physical body disintegrating and turning into countless white lights that fled in all directions.

However, the divine sense of the Old Ancestor Ren Shui remained firmly locked onto the main soul of the Old Ancestor Ling Yuan, and continued to pursue him.

A crimson aura of yin energy covered the face of the Spirit Origin Ancestor, revealing an extremely ugly expression: "This Blood Demon Drill is poisonous."

Qin Ming saw that the two combined old monsters were chasing each other and had come very close to his location. He cursed his bad luck in his heart.

He had gained benefits in the Soul Clan's secret realm and was preparing to make a fortune quietly before making a quick getaway, but he never expected that his actions would eventually be exposed.

"Huh? There's someone else here?" Ancestor Renshui's gaze suddenly narrowed, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered Qin Ming's Boundary-Breaking Shuttle.

After connecting the dots, he could easily guess that the people inside were probably those who had entered the secret realm even earlier than these old monsters.

However, when he went inside the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, he found only a young human cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement stage.

The fact that this person was able to emerge from inside unnoticed most likely means that he obtained a secret treasure of the Soul Clan.

Upon realizing this, the face of the Ren Water Ancestor revealed a look of wild joy:
"Hahaha! Such is the will of Heaven! I never imagined that an ant would sneak up right under my nose!"

Having said that, he made a grasping motion with his five fingers, condensing a large blood-red hand. He then mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, abandoning his pursuit of the Spirit Origin Ancestor, and instead reached out to grab Qin Ming's Boundary-Breaking Shuttle!
