People in the Imperial Music Bureau: The Storytelling Demon Child Nezha

Li Qiye suddenly realized something. He calmed down and felt the power of the Ancient Tree of Life, the Star Ring, the Chaos Codex, and the Heart of Life, allowing them to merge within his body.

Suddenly, a strange light emanated from his body.

Li Qiye charged at the Titan Ancient God once again, and this time, his attack became even more ferocious.

The collision between the Blade of the Boundary and the dark power of the Titans produced a powerful shockwave.

Su Yuqing also took the opportunity to stand up, and the blood-red vines launched another attack.

With the combined efforts of the two, the Titan God gradually revealed his weaknesses.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Qiye used the Blade of Severance, imbued with the powerful force of its fusion, to pierce the core of the Titan Ancient God.

With a deafening roar, the core of the Titan God was shattered, and it let out a thunderous roar as its body began to disintegrate.

Seeing that things were not going well, the man in black tried to escape.

How could Li Qiye let them succeed? He used the power of the ancient tree to instantly appear in front of the man in black robes.

"Now, it's time to settle the score!" Li Qiye's eyes were as cold as frost.

The man in black robes tried to resist, but he was powerless against Li Qiye's overwhelming strength.

Soon, the men in black robes were defeated one by one.

After the battle, Li Qiye and Su Yuqing sat exhausted on the ground.

They knew this was just a test by the dark forces, and a greater crisis was yet to come.

"No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we must persevere," Li Qiye said firmly, looking at Su Yuqing. (No, that's good.)

Su Yuqing smiled and nodded: "Yes, together we will seal the Eternal Night Abyss and protect this world."

After resting for a while, the two left the secret realm.

Outside the secret realm, Xuan Ying and the others waited anxiously.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Li Qiye and Su Yuqing return safely.

"Next, we must prepare to face the real challenge." Li Qiye gripped the Chaos Codex tightly and felt the life force within his body, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Chapter 270 Crimson Vines

Meanwhile, deep within the Eternal Night Abyss, a pair of enormous eyes slowly opened, and an even greater conspiracy was brewing.

After Li Qiye and the others left the Ancient Tree of Life's secret realm, the dark aura in the air became increasingly heavy.

The star ring continued to emit a sharp buzzing sound, as if warning of an impending disaster.

“According to the Chaos Codex, there are seven sealing nodes in the Eternal Night Abyss, and three of them have now developed cracks.” Xuan Ying unfolded the codex, his gaze fixed on the ancient characters. “If we cannot stop it in time, darkness will engulf the entire world like a tidal wave.”

Li Qiye gazed at the distant mountains gradually shrouded in black mist, gripping the Blade of Severance tightly in his hand. Within his life core, the power of the Heart of Life resonated with the Codex, transforming into a surge of heat flowing through his meridians.

"Let's go to the nearest rift point first—the Netherworld Swamp," Li Qiye decided. "It's said that the key token to unlocking the sealed node is hidden there."

The group traveled day and night and finally arrived at the edge of the Netherworld Swamp.

A purple miasma hung in the air above the swamp, its putrid stench nauseating. Eerie sounds echoed from beneath the water, like the wailing of countless wronged souls.

"Be careful, the miasma here has corrosive power," Su Yuqing warned, as crimson vines automatically wrapped around her mouth and nose, forming a protective barrier.

Li (ahae) used the purifying power of the Star Ring to form a golden light shield around everyone.

However, the moment they stepped into the swamp, the mud beneath their feet suddenly began to boil, and countless black tentacles burst forth from the ground, surrounding them completely.

"They are Soul-Devouring Tentacles!" Xuanxing brandished his scepter, releasing the power of stars. "These tentacles will devour a person's spiritual power!"

Li Qiye swung the Boundary-Severing Blade repeatedly, and wherever the golden blade touched, the tentacles broke off one by one.

But the severed tentacles quickly regrowed, and their numbers increased.

"This can't go on!" Li Qiye shouted. "Su Yuqing, use your vines to find their weaknesses!"

Su Yuqing closed her eyes and focused her mind on sensing.

A moment later, her crimson vines shot out like arrows, heading towards a protrusion deep in the swamp.

There, a giant octopus-like monster was hiding beneath the mud, its single eye emitting a ghostly blue light.

"Attack its eyes!" Su Yuqing shouted.

The group immediately launched an attack, their star power, crimson vines, and purifying light intertwining to finally defeat the monster.

The swamp returned to calm, but a black lightning bolt suddenly streaked across the distant sky, illuminating a dilapidated altar in the center of the swamp.

“That should be the crevice point,” Li Qiye said, pointing to the altar.

As they approached the altar, the ground suddenly began to shake.

A black stone tablet slowly rose from the center of the altar, inscribed with an ancient prophecy: "When the boundary between light and darkness becomes blurred, the seven rifts will devour all things. Only the one who holds the codex can unravel the three mysteries and rebuild the seal."

"Three mysteries?" Xuan Ying frowned. "What does that mean?"

Li Qiye stepped forward and examined the stone tablet closely, discovering three indentations on it, shaped like the sun, the moon, and stars.

"Perhaps this is the groove for the key token," Li Qiye speculated. "We must find the corresponding token to solve the mystery."

Just then, a sinister laugh came from all directions.

The figures in black robes reappeared, this time in greater numbers. The leader, also in black robes, held a jet-black scythe, emanating a chilling aura.

Chapter 271 The Fairy is Completely Annihilated

"Li Qiye, do you think you can find the tokens so easily?" the man in black sneered. "These tokens have already been scattered and hidden in various places, each with a powerful guardian."

Li Qiye's eyes were icy: "No matter how difficult it is, we will find them one by one."

The man in black robes said no more, and with a wave of his arm, a group of dark figures leaped out of the swamp.

These shadowy figures resemble humanoid shapes but have no facial features. Their bodies are composed of black mist, and wherever they pass, plants wither rapidly.

"They're fairies!" Xuan Yue exclaimed. "They can replicate their attacks!"

The battle was about to begin. Every time Li Qiye attacked with his Boundary-Severing Blade, the fairy would copy it and retaliate; Su Yuqing's crimson vines lashed out at the fairy, but were instead absorbed by them, making them even stronger.

"We can't use conventional attacks!" Li Qiye shouted. "Use a combination of powers of different attributes!"

Xuanxing released the power of the stars, Xuanyue condensed moonlight, Su Yuqing's blood-red vines were infused with the power of the Heavenly Evil, and Li Qiye fused the power of purification with the power of the Heart of Life. The four powers intertwined to form a colorful blade of light, finally annihilating the demon completely.

Seeing the situation was dire, the man in black transformed into black mist and fled. Li Qiye wanted to give chase, but Su Yuqing stopped him.

"Finding the token is the priority," Su Yuqing said. "I can feel a powerful force approaching."

Li Qiye nodded and turned to look at the groove on the altar. He knew that what awaited them ahead was an even greater challenge and a more powerful enemy.

And the "real crisis" lurking in the shadows is quietly approaching.

Guided by the Codex of Chaos, Li Qiye and the others learned that the Sun Token was hidden in the Blazing Volcano, the Moon Token was located in the Frosty Moon Ice Palace, and the Star Token was in the Starry Sky Illusion.

“We don’t have much time, so we must split up,” Li Qiye decided. “Xuanying and Xuanxing will head to the Blazing Volcano; Xuanyue and Su Yuqing will go to the Frosty Moon Ice Palace; I will go to the Starry Sky Illusionary Realm alone. After finding the token, we will meet up in the Netherworld Swamp.”

Although everyone was worried about Li Qiye taking risks alone, they knew that this was the most effective way, so they had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Li Qiye arrived alone in the Starry Sky Illusion. The entrance to the illusion was a lake shimmering with starlight, its surface reflecting countless stars, as if he had entered another universe.

The moment Li Qiye stepped into the lake, he felt a dizzying sensation. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a palace floating in the starry sky.

0 ······Requesting flowers 0 ····

Inside the palace, starlight materialized, weaving various strange patterns in the air.

"To obtain the Star Token, one must pass the Three Star Trials." A melodious voice echoed within the palace.

The first test was the "Star Trail Maze." Li Qiye found himself in a maze made of starlight, where every path was constantly changing, and a slight misstep could lead to disorientation.

...... .. ...

Li Qiye calmed down, mobilized the life force within his life core, and sensed the flow of stellar energy around him.

He discovered that the patterns of change in the maze were related to the trajectories of the stars.

With his keen insight and powerful perception, Li Qiye finally found the way out.

The second test was the "Starlight Duel." In the center of the palace, a warrior formed from starlight appeared.

This warrior can perfectly replicate all of Li Qiye's moves, and is even more powerful.

Li Qiye did not rush to attack, but instead constantly changed his moves, observing his opponent's weaknesses.

He discovered that warriors experienced a brief delay when replicating complex moves.

Chapter 272 The Power of Bloodline

Seizing the opportunity, Li Qiye unleashed a devastating attack that combined the power of purification and the Heart of Life, finally defeating the Star Warrior.

The third trial was the "Trial of the Stars." The starlight inside the palace suddenly became incredibly dazzling, and Li Qiye felt his consciousness being pulled apart.

Countless hallucinations flooded his mind, including painful memories of the past and dark visions of the future.

"I will not be deceived by illusions!" Li Qiye gritted his teeth, mobilizing the power of the Star Ring to build a defensive line in his consciousness. He thought of his mission, and of the partners who trusted him, and his belief became even stronger.

Finally, Li Qiye broke through the illusion and passed all the tests. In the center of the palace, a star radiating brilliant light slowly rose and fell into his hand. This was the Star Token.

Meanwhile, Xuan Ying and Xuan Xing are facing an attack from magma giants at the Blazing Volcano.

Xuanxing used his scepter to control the flames, while Xuanying searched for the giant's weakness. Working together, they finally defeated the giant and obtained the Sun Token.

Su Yuqing and Xuan Yue were attacked by the Ice Soul Demon in the Cold Moon Ice Palace. The Ice Soul Demon could control ice and turned the entire palace into an ice prison.

Su Yuqing's Heavenly Evil Bloodline clashed with the cold energy, ironically unleashing even greater power. She joined forces with Xuan Yue to break the ice prison and obtain the Moon Token.

The three returned to the Netherworld Swamp almost simultaneously. The moment the three tokens were placed into the altar's groove, the inscription on the stone tablet began to glow, and a mysterious teleportation array appeared before them.

“This should be the passage to the core of the sealed node,” Li Qiye said.

However, just as they were about to step into the teleportation array, the man in black robes reappeared.

This time, they brought an even more powerful being—the Dark Moon Apostle.

The Dark Moon Apostle was clad in a long black robe, his face shrouded in shadow, and he held a crescent-shaped dark blade in his hand, exuding an aura of destruction.

"Li Qiye, do you think you can enter the core smoothly?" The Dark Moon Apostle's voice was low and cold. "Today, this is your burial ground."

Li Qiye gripped the Star Token tightly, his eyes resolute: "If you want to stop us, you'll have to get past the Blade of the Realm in my hand first!"

The Dark Moon Apostle launched the first attack, his Dark Moon Blade slicing through the void, sending a black crescent-shaped energy wave hurtling towards them. ... Li Qiye swung his Boundary-Severing Blade, and a golden light shield instantly deployed, blocking the energy wave.

"Be careful, his attack carries the power of corrosive sealing!" Xuan Ying shouted a warning.

Su Yuqing's crimson vines shot out like serpents, coiling around the Dark Moon Apostle. However, the moment the vines touched him, they began to dissipate, turning into wisps of blood mist.

“His power can suppress our bloodline power!” Su Yuqing’s expression changed slightly.

Li Qiye's eyes sharpened as he mobilized the power of the Star Token, starlight condensing into armor around him. He flashed forward, charging towards the Dark Moon Apostle, the Blade of Severance imbued with purifying power and starlight, aiming straight for the opponent's vitals.

The Dark Moon Apostle snorted coldly, and the Dark Moon Blade met the attack. The two powerful forces collided, and the resulting shockwave churned the surrounding swamp violently.

Xuan Ying, Xuan Xing, and Xuan Yue seized the opportunity to launch an attack, their star power, solar fire, and moonlight ice intertwining in an attempt to restrain the Dark Moon Apostle.

The men in black robes also joined the battle, continuously hurling black energy balls at the group.

Su Yuqing's crimson vines struck again.

Chapter 273 Sealing Technique

This time, she infused the primal power of the Heavenly Evil bloodline, and the incantations on the vines flickered with an eerie red light, fiercely battling against the dark power of the black-robed man.

The battle between Li Qiye and the Dark Moon Apostle reached a stalemate. The Dark Moon Apostle's strength far exceeded expectations, and every attack carried an aura of destruction. Under the attacks of the Dark Moon Blade, cracks appeared on Li Qiye's star armor.

"This won't do!" Li Qiye thought to himself. He suddenly remembered the record in the Chaos Codex, "When light and darkness collide, only by using life as a catalyst can the power of the ancient seal be awakened."

Li Qiye made a bold decision. He held the Star Token, the Sun Token, and the Moon Token in his hands simultaneously, mobilizing the power of the Heart of Life within his Life Core, as well as the full energy of the Star Ring.

His body began to glow, the light growing brighter and brighter, as if it were illuminating the entire Netherworld Swamp.

"Li Qiye, are you crazy! This will drain all your life force!" Su Yuqing shouted anxiously.

Li Qiye did not respond; he poured all his power into the Blade of the Boundary. The Blade of the Boundary erupted with an unprecedented light, a light containing the power of light, life, and stars.

"Break!" Li Qiye shouted, swinging his sword at the Dark Moon Apostle.
