A massive burst of flames erupted instantly.
The flames, emanating a dark glow, surged forth with an aura of world-destroying power.
In the instant the flames exploded, Xiao Jin also broke through the layers of formations within the palace.
Before the flames could spread, Qin Xin immediately retreated.
With a thought, he directly led Xiao Jin into the mysterious fragmented map space.
In the outside world, the mysterious fragment of the map was like sand, having lost all its vitality.
"ah!"
"What is this?!"
"No!"
Ding Tian, ​​possessed by the demon's soul, felt a kind of fear from his very soul the moment the flames exploded.
The demon race has a unique life form. Their physical bodies are merely a medium for possession. Even if their physical bodies are shattered, they can still possess other creatures by taking over their souls.
This is also what makes the demon race so terrifying.
As the explosive shockwaves of the three-colored flames continued to spread, the entire underground palace had completely collapsed.
As Ding Tian's blood energy surged, a blood-red armor surrounded him, though it was covered in charred black spots and still radiated heat.
Under the impact of the exploding fire blade, Ding Tian's aura vanished, leaving only half of his head.
However, Ding Tian did not fall; instead, his single eye blazed with boundless fury.
Qin Xin hid in the fragmented map space and immediately withdrew his spiritual sense to avoid being discovered by Ding Tian.
After a strange fluctuation appeared, Qin Xin vaguely heard sounds coming from the outside world.
"Damn it! The Demon King has summoned me!"
"Qin Xin! I, Blood Spirit Demon, will remember you!"
After the words were spoken, peace returned once again to the area outside the shattered underground palace.
To avoid being tricked, Qin Xin did not go out immediately, but instead used a small stream of spiritual sense to investigate the fragmented map space.
Even if this spiritual sense is detected by the other party, it will not be so easy to find Qin Xin's hiding place directly.
Although the investigation was progressing slowly, Qin Xin was not in a hurry at all. In this fragmented map space, he was able to recover the Yuan energy he had consumed.
Qin Xin has now entered the first level of the Solid Core Realm and possesses three Solid Cores. His Yuan Power is three times higher than that of martial artists of the same level. However, he used two of the eight sword techniques earlier, which almost completely depleted his Yuan Power.
With the addition of the Yuan energy injected between the fusion of these three fire blades, Qin Xin could be said to be at his last gasp.
If it weren't for the existence of the fragmented map space, he would probably have died directly at the hands of that demon race monster called Blood Spirit Demon.
"Huh? The altar is gone too?"
Through that wisp of spiritual consciousness, Qin Xin discovered that the altar that was originally in this underground palace had completely disappeared, which surprised him.
Looking at Ding Tian's abandoned physical body, Qin Xin could roughly guess what had happened.
The commotion caused by this underground palace is bound to attract the attention of some martial artists. If the existence of this altar is discovered, it will certainly trigger a period of vigilance.
Therefore, that demonic creature called Blood Spirit Demon must have moved the altar away.
However, what made Qin Xin somewhat uneasy was that before the Blood Spirit Demon left, the fluctuation emanating from the underground palace caused the Spirit Devouring Stone to tremble continuously.
After leaving the fragmented map space, Qin Xin glanced around and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no other traces of anything else.
After turning his gaze back to Ding Tian's corpse, Qin Xin also discovered something else: Ding Tian's spatial ring.
Since Ding Tian was already dead, the soul imprint on this spatial ring had also weakened considerably.
He slowly mobilized some of his spiritual sense, and the spiritual impact of the mid-stage Spirit Body Realm directly erased the soul imprint.
Subsequently, Qin Xin did not find much useful information within the vast spatial ring.
"It seems that everything here was taken away by the Blood Spirit Demon when he left."
Qin Xin also had his own guesses. As for why the Blood Spirit Demon abandoned its physical body and these external possessions, it was very likely that the place it entered could not take these things with it.
"Hmm? There's something here."
Just as Qin Xin's spiritual sense was about to exit the spatial ring, he suddenly discovered something that greatly interested him.
"This is the formula for the Soul Control Pill!"
"Could this demon race be related to the Qin clan of Zhongzhou?"
Qin Xin glanced at the tattered scroll and noticed a very familiar clan emblem on the pill scroll.
Of course, these were just some thoughts that Qin Xin had. Qin Kunpeng had been in the Ding Dynasty before, so it was very possible that he was the one who produced the recipe scroll for the Soul Control Pill.
Now that the recipe scroll for the Soul Control Pill has been used once, it is completely broken. Qin Xin glanced at it briefly, then casually threw it on the ground, and then directly discarded Ding Tian's spatial ring.
After all, he was not very clear about some of the methods and tricks of the demon race. If he left some tracking formations in this spatial ring, he would be constantly exposed to danger.
"boom!"
As the sounds of bombardment came from the outside, Qin Xin knew that the commotion had definitely attracted many martial artists.
Qin Xin also directly used the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword, and with the stirring of the sword, he quickly opened up a passage.
Before the martial artists entered, Qin Xin also slipped away from the underground palace.
After entering the underground area, the group of martial artists were slightly surprised by the dilapidated state of the surroundings.
Liu Jue led a group of martial artists to explore the surrounding area. After discovering the several blood pools and a large number of human martial artist skeletons, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
After discovering Ding Tian's corpse, Liu Jue was also slightly puzzled.
To be able to kill a half-step Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist so easily, the opponent's strength must be at the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm, or even a martial artist who has already entered the Earth Profound Realm.
However, there are only a handful of martial artists in the Eastern Wilderness who can achieve this level of skill, and those people wouldn't bother to directly kill Ding Tian.
After pondering for a while, Liu Jue finally concluded that Ding Tian had committed such an outrageous act that was discovered by a mysterious powerful figure who happened to be passing by, and was thus killed directly.
As for Qin Xin, no one doubted him. After he left the underground palace, the entire royal palace of Dading City was in chaos.
The palace guards and the royal family of the Ding Dynasty were all killed.
Qin Xin did not interfere with this at all, but returned directly to the Pill Tower in Dading City.
At this time, many alchemists in the Pill Tower of Dading City had recovered their strength. Previously, they had been controlled by Ding Tian using the Soul Control Pill, and their foundations had been damaged.
This is precisely what angered the alchemists, who then summoned warriors to raze the entire royal palace of Dading City to the ground.
In just one night, the Ding Dynasty collapsed.
