Chapter 584 The Pureblood Culprit [Part 1]

Inside the cave wall.

The black snake and the red bird confronted each other, dividing the entire space into light and darkness, as if yin and yang were intertwined with a clear boundary.

Everyone looked up, staring blankly at this strange scene.

Unlike the warmth and peace brought by the previous Phoenix Bloodline Chongming Bird when it descended to earth.

At that moment, the black serpent appeared behind Hu Qi.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, their hearts pounding, as if in the eyes of this black serpent, they were nothing more than prey to be devoured at will.

Furthermore, unnoticed by anyone, at the very moment that the snake and the bird simultaneously activated their spiritual powers.

The savage beasts and ferocious creatures that had been roaming around Fengxi Village froze, then scattered in panic, fleeing in the direction away from the village.

Even an ancient alien species soaring in the sky glanced down with some apprehension.

They immediately turned away and moved away from the area.

That aura made him feel wary.

Although the breath was very weak.

However, if someone is truly a pure-blooded culprit, approaching the other party's territory rashly would be seen as a provocation.

It only faces certain death.

Deep within the vast, ancient mountains, several subtle yet powerful auras rose and fluctuated briefly before falling silent, as if they had never existed.

……

Extend your gaze into the distance.

The vast wilderness lies near the outskirts, in a region some distance from Fengxi Village.

This place is located in a mountain valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides.

Within it, buildings constructed from various massive stones stand side by side, bustling with activity.

This place is the Tianlin tribe.

A large barbarian tribe.

Even a small tribe that can be called a tribe must have at least tens of thousands of people and require at least one barbarian cultivator at the Bone Creation Realm to be in charge.

And here.

The number of barbarians living here exceeds several hundred thousand.

At first glance, the entire tribe appears majestic and imposing, like a wild and ancient city stretching across the vast land.

At this moment, deep within the tribe, in an ancient temple.

Suddenly, a dazzling divine light burst forth, tearing through the silence.

Immediately afterwards, several figures appeared out of thin air, each with a terrifying aura, runes appearing and disappearing around them, and an overwhelming pressure emanating from them.

Their eyes flashed like lightning, all fixed on the center of the hall.

There hangs an ancient stone mirror, its edge covered with densely packed runes, mysterious and unfathomable.

At this moment, the once silent mirror surface began to shimmer with a hazy glow, surrounded by rosy light, and runes appeared spontaneously.

"The Mirror of the Eight Desolations is acting strangely... Could it be that something else has happened in this Great Wilderness?"

The elderly man at the head of the group spoke in a deep, booming voice.

He wore a long purple robe, and his long, withered white hair was tied into a long braid with several red ropes.

His eyes shone brightly as they opened and closed, yet also carried a hint of solemnity.

The Eight Desolations Sky-Gazing Mirror is a barbarian treasure inherited from ancient times by the Tianqi tribe. It has the ability to see the heavens and measure the earth, and to monitor the eight desolations.

At this moment, an unusual phenomenon suddenly occurred, which was by no means ordinary.

In the blink of an eye, he raised his hand and pointed, sending a surge of powerful spiritual energy into the mirror.

"Om-"

next moment.

The stone mirror hummed softly, its surface shone brightly, and amidst the intertwining of divine radiance, a phantom image of a strange bird suddenly materialized.

Its entire body was crimson red like flames, and its eyes had four pupils, shining brightly, exuding a terrifying aura with every glance.

After it appeared, it raised its head and let out a clang like metal striking metal.

"With double pupils in its eyes and a cry like a phoenix, this is... a Chongming Bird?!"

The old man's expression shifted.

At this moment, another black light emerged beside the Chongming Bird, transforming into a snake-like shape. However, compared to the Chongming Bird, this snake's appearance was somewhat blurry.

It's hard to tell what kind of strange beast it is at first glance.

"These two auras... are fierce yet ethereal, seemingly powerful but actually as faint as fireflies!"
This is no ordinary beast; it must be either a cub of a pure-blooded true culprit or someone from my barbarian tribe who has awakened its divine beast bloodline!

A middle-aged barbarian woman with a hideous scar on her face examined him for a moment and then asserted.

Upon hearing this, the others' eyes flickered.

Whether they are descendants of pure-blooded true culprits or barbarians who have awakened the bloodline of divine beasts.

These are all extremely precious to their tribe.

The former can be domesticated and become a powerful asset to the tribe.

As for the latter, once a barbarian with the bloodline of a divine beast grows up, as long as he doesn't die prematurely, he can survive.

At the very least, one can reach the Savage Soul Realm and become a Great Savage Cultivator.

In any case, this is a rare opportunity for the Tianlin tribe.

"Since I have nothing to do right now, I'll go this time."

The barbarian woman pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Very well, then I'll trouble Elder Lin Luan to make the trip."

The old man nodded upon hearing this.

……

Inside the cave wall.

After a brief moment of shock.

Everyone realized what was happening.

"Could this be another divine beast with the bloodline?!"

Although they did not recognize what kind of strange beast this black serpent was.

However, the aura emanating from it is comparable to that of the divine beast Chongming Bird, which is enough to prove that it is not simple.

Thinking this, they turned their gaze to the village chief, Feng Ling, who was standing to one side.

However, Feng Ling remained silent this time.

Instead, he suddenly raised the wooden cane in his hand and tapped the ground lightly.

Boom!
A ripple suddenly spread outwards.

next second.

The unusual bloodline phenomena on everyone disappeared.

Before anyone could speak...

Then Feng Ling's voice rang out.

She glanced around.

"Alright, this time, the bloodline of Xiao Fengqi and Xiao Fenghuang is a great opportunity bestowed upon our clan by heaven, but it may also bring great disaster."

Therefore, you must keep this matter a secret and never reveal it to anyone, understand?

When saying this.

Feng Ling's expression revealed a rare hint of solemnity.

The flickering firelight on the cave walls cast a solemn expression on everyone's faces.

No one objected; they all nodded in agreement.

Feng Ling said no more and waved for everyone to disperse.

In a short while, only four people remained in the cave: Feng Jiao, A Yun, Feng Huang, and Hu Qi, who stood quietly to the side.

Feng Jiao's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to ask about the strange beast on Hu Qi's body, but Feng Ling stopped him by raising her hand.

She turned to look at Hu Qi, her gaze sharp, and said in a deep voice.

"The bloodline of your black snake is no less than that of the Chongming Divine Bird. However, I have never seen its true origin."

He had indeed seen strange beasts resembling black snakes, but they were mostly ordinary savage beasts, and their aura was nowhere near comparable to the creature Hu Qi had summoned.

At this point, Feng Ling suddenly pointed his fingers like a sword and thrust them out into the air.

laugh--!
A ray of light flashed by, splitting in two and disappearing between Hu Qi and Feng Huang's brows.

Hu Qi did not flinch in the face of this.

The moment the spiritual light entered his body, a surge of information erupted in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It is a barbaric cultivation method called "Barbarian Fiend Technique".

At the same time, Feng Ling's aged voice rang out again:

"This technique was obtained by chance, and it cannot be practiced by anyone who does not possess the bloodline of an ancient species."

Today I bestow this upon you two; I hope you will diligently cultivate and not waste this divinely bestowed bloodline.

Hu Qi's eyes flickered slightly.

What bloodline? His so-called black serpent.

It's merely a facade created by the distorted light, a pretense to find a plausible identity in this desolate wilderness.

However, he would not say anything about it, but simply nodded silently, and then left with A-Yun and Feng Huang.

Only the wind dragon and the old man remained in the cave.

Feng Jiao looked at Feng Ling, his brows furrowed: "Qi'er and Huang'er..."

"The arrival of the bloodlines of two divine beasts in my Fengxi Village is both an immense opportunity and a catastrophic disaster."

If those ancient remnants discover them, it will surely bring about a fatal calamity for these two children.

“Those ancient species with a trace of divine beast blood flowing in their veins will always have an uncontrollable desire to devour barbarians or strange beasts that also possess divine beast blood.”

Feng Ling leaned on his wooden cane, his voice low and deep.

"Moreover, the village is poor in resources, and forcing them to stay would only tarnish its precious gem."

Once the two have mastered the "Barbarian Fiend Technique" and officially entered the realm of barbarian cultivation, I will personally lead them away to a larger tribe. Only there can they receive the best training.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiao's throat bobbed, but he ultimately just nodded.

"I understand."

……

The night was as dark as ink, with only a few distant howls of beasts tearing through the deathly silence.

The window of a wooden house in Fengxi Village was silently open.

In the next instant, a black shadow shot out like a ghost. Its figure was as agile as a swallow flying in the dark night. It only lightly touched the steep valley wall a few times to gain leverage, and then, like a black arrow released from a bow, it soared into the sky and instantly disappeared outside the valley.

After landing, the dark figure paused slightly, as if trying to determine its direction.

Then, the figure flickered again, transforming into a shadowy silhouette that was almost invisible to the naked eye, disappearing at an astonishing speed into the boundless, ancient forest beside it, leaving no trace.

It didn't take long.

In a mountain forest.

A furious roar and a flash of fire erupted.

And then the next second.

The firelight suddenly dimmed, and the roars vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

pat!

Only a few wisps of dry grass and wood were still burning, their tiny flames glowing faintly.

A ten-meter-tall monster lay sprawled on the ground.

At this moment, a huge, bluish-black goat appeared.

It has four horns, is shaped like a bee, and is the size of a mandarin duck.

This strange beast is called Tu Lou, and it is a carnivorous and extremely aggressive ferocious beast.

They like to roam the mountains at night, where they can sing melodious songs and dance.

It possesses a special force field that can attract many animals.

After death, flames will ignite around you.

now.

Before this massive, house-sized earthworm carcass.

A short figure stood quietly.

It was a child wearing an earth-yellow animal skin, with fair skin, black hair and black eyes, a face as delicate as a carved jade, and an expression as still as water.

The moonlight streamed down from above, and the flames around him danced, illuminating him clearly.

This child is none other than Hu Qi.

He looked down at the ferocious beast beneath him.

He reached out and placed his hand on his body.

next second.

Visible to the naked eye.

The enormous carcass of the ferocious beast deflated rapidly, like a punctured balloon.

This ferocious beast, which had recently died and whose fur was as hard as refined iron, eventually turned into a skeleton.

Hu Qi's crimson snake eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant.

It quickly returned to normal.

Although his cultivation was sealed, he could only use very little power for the time being.

However, Hu Qi did not do nothing during this period.

After the age of three.

He then asked to have a room to himself.

At night, they often leave the village to hunt in this vast wilderness.

The Great Wilderness is extremely dangerous for ordinary barbarians.

In front of Hu Qi, it was like a backyard garden.

Unless you encounter an ancient alien species or the rumored pure-blooded true culprit.

He didn't even need to use the power of his physical body; he could easily solve the problem with just the strength of this physical form.

Using the Soul Devouring Talent, one can plunder the life force and blood of these strange beasts as nourishment to bolster their physical body.

Although his body is only five years old, if you really compare them...

With his physical body alone, even a Wind Dragon at the Spirit Opening Realm wouldn't be a match for him with a single punch.

During this period, he killed quite a few ferocious beasts.

Wow!

A night breeze blew through the mountains and forests.

The corpse before them turned to ashes and scattered, leaving only a shallow mark on the ground.

After doing all this.

Hu Qi did not go straight back to rest as usual.

Instead, his figure flickered.

It appeared on the canopy of a tree that was hundreds of feet tall.

His gaze swept across the vast, desolate wilderness.

prior to.

Although he was hunting ferocious beasts, he only selected some weak and ordinary ones.

As for the powerful ones, they were not provoked.

But it is different now.

Based on how well this body has adapted.

It will take some time for them to regain their strength.

However, he can rapidly increase his power by practicing the extraordinary paths of this world.

Anyway, he has enough modification value.

Getting a job through any extraordinary path is a piece of cake.

However, there is one more problem to solve before that.

That is to acquire a bloodline.

Now, the Taiyu Serpent bloodline and cultivation within him are basically sealed.

The best way to follow the barbarian path of cultivation is to acquire a bloodline.

To acquire bloodline.

This is something that would be almost impossible for ordinary barbarians.

Some powerful tribes can strengthen their bloodline by consuming precious pills and medicines, but that's about it.

As for what bloodline one possesses, it depends entirely on one's luck at the time of spiritual awakening.

But Hu Qi is different. He has the heaven-defying talent of devouring spirits, which allows him to plunder the bloodline of any alien beast for his own use.

Think about this.

His figure flashed by.

Moving forward.

……

After a stick of incense.

In the Great Wilderness, Hu Qi, who was leaping and bounding among the tree branches, suddenly fell and landed steadily on a barren hill.

However, the moment his foot touched the ground, a white bone arrow tore through the air, whistling sharply as it hurtled straight toward his back! It was so fast that only a blur remained.

Hu Qi didn't even turn his head, and grabbed with his backhand.

The bone arrow, imbued with immense power, was firmly held in his grasp by his five fingers, its tail trembling violently and emitting a resentful hum.

He didn't even look at it, and casually tossed it away.

laugh!
The bone arrow shot back at a speed far exceeding its initial trajectory, instantly traversing a distance of tens of feet.

Dozens of feet away, an archer had just nocked his second arrow when a bloody hole suddenly appeared between his eyebrows.

His head exploded like a ripe watermelon, splattering red and white matter all over the face of his companion.

Upon seeing this, the pupils of the group shrank sharply, but they did not back down.

Instead, he let out a low growl, his muscles bulging as if inflated, and his veins undulating like small snakes.

Dark gray keratin appeared on the surface of the skin, and the eyes shone with a bloodshot red light.

"kill!"

next second.

The bushes nearby swayed, and several more figures jumped out from within them.

They charged forward together, their killing intent sweeping the ground.

The leader, wielding a bone spear, charged toward Hu Qi.

The others flanked from the left and right.

See this.

Hu Qi remained unmoved.

Step out.

boom! ! !
The ground shook violently!
A spiderweb-like network of cracks appeared where he had been standing, and the area collapsed.

Amidst the spray of earth and rocks.

His figure blurred instantly, and a series of explosions erupted in the air in front of him.

The leading barbarian burly man felt a blur before his eyes.

Immediately, an irresistible force crashed down.

The bone spear in his hand shattered, followed by his chest collapsing and a clear fist mark protruding from his back.

He was sent flying backward like a tattered sack, and died before even hitting the ground, his bones and muscles completely shattered.

The two people on the left were suddenly gripped by iron-like hands as their necks were seized.

It closed gently.

Click!

The two heads collided violently, exploding like a smashed watermelon.

The man on the left fared even worse; his upper body exploded into a bloody mist, leaving only his two legs standing in place.

—Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Under the cover of night, streaks of blood bloomed one after another. The people who rushed in seemed to have crashed into an invisible barrier, their bodies exploding one after another, with broken bones and flesh flying everywhere.

Just in the blink of an eye.

The barbarians who charged forward were almost all killed or wounded.

See this scene.

The last barbarian, who was about to charge forward, suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face ashen.

"Strange...monster..."

The strong smell of blood hit him, and looking at Hu Qi's short figure, he felt his heart tremble with fear.
