After finding the passage to this underground palace.
Qin Xin bypassed the arrays set up outside the underground palace and slipped inside.
However, to Qin Xin's surprise, the surrounding formations did not seem to be set up in this era. They appeared to be very dilapidated, and some formations were even abandoned because they had lost their spiritual power.
Qin Xin had just stepped into this underground palace.
Suddenly, he felt an invisible force locking onto him.
"Oh? You deliberately lured me in?"
Qin Xin immediately guessed that he was the one who led the other party here. Therefore, the people in the palace were able to detect his spiritual sense before. If there were really spiritual cultivators in the palace, Qin Xin would probably have been discovered as soon as he entered the palace.
Qin Xin wanted to retreat, but found that the passage to the underground palace had been sealed off by several formations. Entering it rashly would likely pose a considerable risk.
Looking up at the underground palace, Qin Xin saw several pools of bright red blood, containing the remains of many human martial artists.
Above the blood pool, an old man in black robes stared intently at Qin Xin, his somewhat scarlet eyes truly frightening.
"Heh! Heh! I didn't expect to encounter a spiritual cultivator here."
"But kid, you ruined my plans."
Hearing this eerie voice coming from the black-robed old man, Qin Xin felt a chill run down his spine.
Although the old man looked exactly like Ding Tian, the ancestor of the Ding Dynasty, Qin Xin could clearly sense that the person in front of him was no longer Ding Tian.
"This junior has inadvertently disturbed your cultivation, senior. I will leave immediately."
Qin Xin knew the person in front of him was strange, and his first thought was to leave immediately.
However, as he turned around, he felt as if a barrier had appeared behind him, trapping him within this area.
"field?"
Qin Xin also sensed the other party's methods immediately, but the power of the domain that the old man used was somewhat weak, and it was obvious that he had not yet truly entered the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Otherwise, the old man would have made his move the moment Qin Xin entered the palace, instead of leading Qin Xin into this underground palace.
"This human body is truly trash; it will be torn apart with the slightest exertion of force."
After Ding Tian stood up, the crimson blood in the surrounding pool continuously gathered around him, and his aura gradually became stronger.
"Qin Xin, this guy is very likely a demon, but only his soul can cross over; his physical body cannot."
"Moreover, judging from the fact that this guy still needs blood to nourish him, he must have only recently taken over the body and his strength is not yet fully unleashed."
"Find an opportunity to escape immediately. The demons' methods are unpredictable and varied. Even I was very wary of them when I was at my peak."
Upon seeing Ding Tian's appearance, Dan Qing's worried thoughts echoed in Qin Xin's mind.
The demon in front of us has obviously taken over Ding Tian's body and is secretly hiding here. After all, once this demon appears on the Tianxuan Continent...
No matter which faction or place they hide in, they will be directly and jointly killed. After all, the ancient war ten thousand years ago almost wiped out the human race from this Tianxuan Continent. Naturally, humans and demons are irreconcilable enemies.
“A spiritual body should be able to provide me with a lot of sustenance.”
"Be my furnace and vessel, I can refine you into my demon guard!"
After absorbing the surrounding blood, Ding Tian's back sprouted a blood-red spine, and black runes appeared between his eyebrows.
Upon closer inspection, the rune mark bears a striking resemblance to the Death Mark of Senluo.
"Let's forget about the Demon Guard. I can't stand its strange appearance."
Qin Xin stood rooted to the spot, his Yuan Power surging, and the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern was directly activated. Blue flames enveloped his entire body, forming the Heavenly Phoenix Battle Armor.
Within the fragmented map space, Danqing had already begun discussing with Xiaojin how to break the surrounding array and find a way for Qin Xin to escape.
However, since Xiao Jin needs a certain amount of time to accumulate energy each time he breaks through a formation, and there are many formations set up in this underground palace, it will take a certain amount of time to break through them all.
"Don't even think about leaving. Once I've set my sights on my prey, none of them can escape!"
After swallowing the last drop of blood in the surrounding blood pool, Ding Tian gently clawed behind his back with one hand, and a blood bone whip appeared in his hand.
"Smack!"
The blood-bone whip was like a living thing, and after it was flung out of Ding Tian's hand...
It charged directly at Qin Xin, and upon contact with the flame armor surrounding him, it emitted a sizzling sound.
Qin Xin could also sense that after being touched by the Blood Bone Whip, the circulation of his own Yuan Power seemed to stagnate, and even black patterns appeared all over his body, as if trying to climb all over his body.
Qin Xin knew that once he was completely covered by these black patterns, he would lose all ability to resist and would be at the mercy of the other party.
"Sword Control Style!"
Qin Xin unleashed his Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword, unleashing his strongest combat power.
Between the constant clashing of the Nine Flames Immortal Sword and the Blood Bone Whip, the underground palace trembled continuously.
The demon hadn't expected Qin Xin to possess such swordsmanship and martial arts skills, and a hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes. He seemed afraid that the huge fluctuations would draw attention to the existence of this underground palace.
Because Qin Xin possessed spiritual sense, he was able to capture the moment the demon turned around, and there seemed to be an altar there.
Furthermore, this altar is almost identical to the altar in the area it entered from the main peak of the Kunmen sect within the inner courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy.
"Sword Breaking Style!"
The moment the Blood Bone Whip was grabbed and deflected by the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword.
With a slight tremor, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in the Qin Clan's hand instantly enveloped the sword with powerful sword energy. Driven by Qin Xin, it directly charged towards the altar behind Ding Tian.
"bite!"
After a loud bang, the originally incredibly hard Blood Bone Whip was shattered directly by the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in Qin Xin's hand.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Ding Tian was already somewhat enraged at this point.
He didn't expect Qin Xin to have noticed the altar behind him, and even wanted to destroy it directly.
If he hadn't used the Blood Bone Whip as a price, the altar would likely have been damaged because of Qin Xin's actions.
He had been planning this for a century, but he never expected that it would almost be ruined by the young man in front of him. How could he not be angry?
"I had previously intended to refine you into a demon guard, but now I've changed my mind. I'm going to make you a demon slave and subject you to the torment of your soul for thousands of years."
At this moment, a black aura suddenly erupted from Ding Tian's body, and blood continuously seeped out, condensing into countless sharp, blood-red bones around him.
"The demons are best at close combat, Qin Xin, be extra careful."
After sensing the appearance of the cauldron, Danqing immediately spoke up to remind him.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xin quickly retreated, and Xiao Jin behind him was released to break through the formation behind him.
The demon possessing Dingtian was not surprised to see a spirit beast, because in his eyes, Qin Xin would now be devoured and enslaved.
"Fire Melt!"
As Qin Xin finished speaking...
A fire blade formed from the yellow Yang Fire, the red lava heart fire, and the pink blazing bone fire appeared behind Qin Xin.
Before the demon's astonished eyes, the three-colored fire blades began to merge.
This far exceeded his understanding of human martial artists, but through his sixth sense, he could feel that this attack was definitely not simple.
However, the fire blades fused extremely quickly, and even though he noticed and wanted to stop them, it was too late.
