It has lingered and waited in this barren place for tens of thousands of years, all in order to accumulate enough energy to retrieve the "key" so as to help that "master" break the seal and restore the glory of their race.
But now, it's being told that its cooked duck has been snatched away by someone else. How can it not be angry!
It was so close! How could it fail like this? No, if it can't find the key, it will surely become the eternal sinner of its kind!
After all, that's...
At this moment, the black demonic energy around the demon began to boil and surge wildly. A moment later, a wisp of demonic energy, like a black thread, shot out and sped off in one direction.
"The key has been detected!"
Upon seeing this, the demon immediately revealed a look of joy, "As long as the key is alright, you little thief are doomed. Once I catch up with you, I will definitely drain your life force and cultivation to vent my anger!"
Originally, the "key" would have been fully matured soon, but with this disruption, that timeline will likely be delayed again.
Having determined the direction the "key" had gone, the demon immediately took off in pursuit.
Just a few days after the demon left, a farmer who often gathered herbs in the vicinity was suddenly dumbfounded to find that the once lush bamboo forest, which had been growing very well, had suddenly become completely bald.
Yes, the entire bamboo forest was completely cut down, leaving not only no bamboo but also not a single bamboo shoot.
It will probably take thousands of years for this bamboo forest to grow back.
"Rumble..."
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and faint lightning bolts could be seen hidden within them. The immense pressure was almost suffocating.
"Come on, I will definitely become the first person in the Azure Profound Kingdom to break through to the legendary realm!"
On a vast wilderness a hundred miles from the capital of Qingxuan, an old man with a withered face roared to the sky with a resolute expression, "Today, I, Zhou Qihua, will become the first person to defy the heavens!"
"Click..."
Seemingly enraged by his arrogant provocation, a bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a thumb, suddenly appeared in the clouds, carrying terrifying power as it fell from the sky, seemingly intent on destroying everything.
"The first, second, and third moves of the Profound Gang Blade Technique!"
Seeing the lightning strike, Zhou Qihua swung his longsword and unleashed three consecutive sword techniques.
"Sizzle..."
The power of this sword technique, as demonstrated by Zhou Qihua, was many times greater than that of Zhou Xiong.
"Pfft..."
After colliding with the heavenly lightning, the two forces canceled each other out, and the lightning was completely annihilated when it was still nine feet away from Zhou Qihua.
"Oh…"
Having successfully withstood the first bolt of heavenly lightning, Zhou Qihua was slightly out of breath, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "Heavenly lightning is nothing special. There are still two more. As long as I can successfully overcome the last two, I will be able to break through!"
"Crack... Boom!"
Before Zhou Qihua could catch his breath, the lightning in the sky gathered again and swiftly pursued him down.
Its speed and scale were twice that of the first heavenly lightning.
"A low-grade spiritual weapon, the Water Shield!"
Seeing this, Zhou Qihua dared not be careless. He shouted loudly, and a blue spherical light shield with a diameter of about nine feet appeared around him, directly enveloping his entire body.
"Mysterious Gang Blade Technique, First Form, Second Form, Third Form!"
At the same time, Zhou Qihua brandished his longsword, unleashing another complete set of martial arts techniques.
"Bang..."
This time, as expected, it failed to stop the heavenly lightning. The attack was directly dispersed, and the aftershocks all landed on the Water Shield.
