Chapter 390: Prison

Qin Xiao and Yun Yun tried their best to activate the tribulation clouds in the sky, but it seemed that some rules were in place within this Void Realm...

But he couldn't worry about that now; Qin Xiao was frantically increasing the wood content of the Jianmu tree.

Fortunately, the wood's growth rate almost completely suppressed the opponent's struggle.

They still used the same shameless tactics as before, and Qin Xiao's initial judgment was indeed correct.

A large-scale beast taming system does indeed have a significant advantage in direct combat.

Just like this world, there are two strange beasts, one as large as stars and the other as small as a mongrel.

Even among those of the same rank, their combat power would be overwhelmingly superior.

If it were a species like the Jianmu tree, which is not afraid of injury and has no obvious weaknesses, it would be invincible.

With the addition of the Jianmu template and the divine rules, Qin Xiao even suspected that Jianmu's combat power had now reached the peak of the extraordinary level.

As he momentarily lost focus, the long-accumulated heavenly lightning in the sky roared like an angry dragon, covered with countless gleaming sword-shaped armor scales.

The dragon swallowed the Jianmu wood along with the white-haired, youthful-looking old man whole.

Wear and tear caused the constant clanging of metal.

The swollen and imposing body seemed unmoved, but as the dragon disappeared into its body, the opponent's eyes gradually dimmed.

The next moment, it seemed as if it sensed the movement on this side.

Across the entire land, countless disciples of various sects seemed to be breaking through the encirclement and moving towards this direction as if possessed.

Before they even got close, those with lower cultivation levels were crushed by the aftershocks of the battle, and the rest were turned to ashes as they approached this terrifying place ravaged by energy.

On the other side, the two people who had been held back by Qin Xiao's own beasts were now rushing towards them as if they had gone mad.

At the center point, the body, which seemed to have completely lost consciousness, suddenly began to pound with a heartbeat.

Like a resounding bell, waves of intense vibrations spread outwards.

Golden-red cracks began to appear on the man's body.

"Stop them!"

Qin Xiao turned around and saw even more disciples of the Purgatory Sect surging towards him, especially the two strongest experts.

Qin Xiao couldn't understand the situation in the Heavenly Dao Realm, nor could he understand the methods of the Purgatory Sect.

However, it was clear that this grave-blasting was something that had been planned in advance.

Damn it.

The wood material formed like dozens of giant dragons, carrying the Root Void Channel towards the two rushing figures.

But the other party ignored them, only dodging, and then frantically headed towards the center point.

Qin Xiao could see that in order to speed things up, the two of them were even willing to burn their bodies.

Or perhaps it's some kind of secret technique; in any case, it's more than twice as fast.

In the blink of an eye, two figures shot towards the gigantic, cracked body like beams of light.

A series of pitiful and painful screams began to ring out, and the two bodies seemed to be melted away, gradually dissolving into the golden-red molten iron.

Two beams of divine light emanated from the giant's eyes.

The other party made a slight movement, and Qin Xiao frowned, binding it again with his roots.

However, as the opponent's movements became more and more intense, even the roots of the ever-thickening Jianmu tree gradually broke.

"Master, the energy level reaction has increased!" Qianyun immediately reminded him.

"Damn, is this demigod level? Holy crap, I knew something was wrong, what kind of luck do I have?"

Qin Xiao didn't panic and directly addressed his tamed beast.

"Ilya, take the vanguard and the elite team and retreat to the Iceborn Dynasty's territory. Form ranks!"

At least the other side wouldn't dare to attack, otherwise they would be taken away by a divine hand in no time.

Hopefully, the other party didn't upgrade their brain and burn it out.

Ilya wanted to say something more, but after hearing Qin Xiao's explanation, she understood the current situation.

Moreover, if he were a true god, Qin Xiao might have simply run away, but as a demigod, he could still hold out for a while.

If all else fails, Qin Xiao can definitely escape if he wants to.

After all, Qianyun's cross-dimensional teleportation is quite powerful.

Ilya immediately carried out the order, and the other senior students organized the team to retreat.

Only Qin Xiao remained in place, keeping a safe distance.

"Master, Qin Wendao is still in the north."

Qianyun's message came again.

Qin Xiao frowned. "Keep an eye on him. Tell me immediately if he makes any moves."

After he finished speaking, the giant in front of him also changed.

The giant began to shrink, and the cracks on its body gradually began to heal.

The other party replied that it was the normal size, and their expression was surprisingly amiable.

It's a young face, with a gray beard and hair, plus a powerfully muscular naked body...

It's fucking weird.

With a wave of his hand, a robe and hairnet flew up from the sect, and golden threads emerged, eventually forming a garment that could be worn.

“Young friend, there is no need to be nervous. I should thank you for helping me attain enlightenment.”

The other person spoke with a smile.

Qin Xiao frowned, realizing what was going on.

"What a fine Purgatory Sect." Qin Xiao's tone was tinged with sarcasm.

The old man showed no unusual expression, only a hint of reminiscence.

"The Purgatory Sect, originally named the Purgatory Sect, cultivates the Great Dao of Metal and was established years ago. All members of the sect practice my methods and consume my resources."

"Through all my painstaking efforts and countless resources, I have only managed to select and cultivate this one species, a mere resource for refining true gold."

At this point, the old man turned to look at Qin Xiao.

"Judging from your age and your methods, you must be a prodigy from that land protected by the gods. It's perfectly normal that you don't quite understand."

The other party didn't recount the arduous journey they had taken, but simply shook their head with a sigh.

"In the Heavenly Dao Realm, those who cultivate the same path compete and kill each other, but in the end, they all return to oneness. They are all pretty much the same, just practicing the mortal way of raising Gu."

However, I've taken this step ahead of those old guys again, hahaha, how wonderful!

At first, I hadn't figured out how I could possibly reach demigod status, or which path to take to guide me forward. I never expected you to enlighten me with a single strike.

The old man shook his head and looked up at the sky.

A narrow crack appeared, and in the sky, among countless stars, a dark golden star, seemingly existing since time immemorial, gradually began to light up.

"Purgatory, purgatory, alchemy turning into a prison, that's quite a good method!"

As they were talking, the other person reached out and grabbed Qin Xiao.

"In that case, you shall be the first guest of my Golden Prison!"

The arm stretched out, as if forged and melted like metal, carrying intense heat and the crackling sound of metal tearing.

Damn it, old man, I was still listening to the story when you attacked me!

Qin Xiao cursed inwardly.

He immediately switched to Jianmu's body, with Jingjing floating in front of him and Jinfeng swirling in his claws, tearing down with a single claw.

Although the massive arm was not torn apart, its path was halted, and several claw marks of different natures damaged the surrounding metal arm on its palm.

"Huh?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"This is...this is...such a powerful Jin Ze, tearing apart? Haha, heaven is helping me, truly heaven is helping me!"

As he spoke, the old man became increasingly inhuman, his entire body turning metallic, and a faint, unsettling feeling permeated the air.

Qin Xiao suddenly realized that there was a certain omnipresent power in the world.

I want to... imprison him.
