In mid-air, Lu Qing looked at the scene left behind after the black hole disappeared.
Below, a smooth, hemispherical pit several miles wide appeared on the ground.
It was as if it was swallowed by some ancient giant beast.
It was obvious that this was swallowed up by the black void when it expanded.
"The power of space is truly terrifying."
Looking at the sinkhole-like hole, Lu Qing's heart was also shaken.
With his current strength, it would not be too difficult to blast such a huge deep pit.
However, it is not easy to swallow up and destroy all matter in an instant.
No wonder after entering the fifth tribulation in the Yuanshen realm, one has to start comprehending the power of space. This kind of power is truly terrifying.
After standing in the air in silence for a while, Lu Qing turned into a stream of light and flew away into the distance.
According to what Elder Xing said before his death, if he had really reported what happened here back to the Holy Alliance.
It is estimated that before long, a more powerful existence will come.
It is no longer advisable to stay here for long, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.
Lu Qing found a direction and left quickly.
However, he did not enter the territories of the human and demon races on both sides, but went north along the Wan Yao Mountains.
At his current speed, he escaped hundreds of miles away in the blink of an eye and disappeared completely.
Shortly after Lu Qing left, the space above the huge pit suddenly twisted, and three figures appeared in the air.
The three figures all looked like humans, with serious faces and a powerful aura emanating from their bodies. There were invisible spatial fluctuations lingering around them.
However, when they saw the situation below, they couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on their faces.
"What's going on?"
One of the old men looked a little solemn. He moved slightly, and a glass lamp suddenly appeared in his hand.
The magic power surged gently, and the next moment, a shadow of the soul emerged from the glass lamp.
His face was exactly that of Elder Xing.
"Elder Xing, what's going on? The evil demon has disappeared, and even your main body is nowhere to be found."
The shadow of Elder Xing's soul concentrated and felt it, then his face became extremely ugly.
"My main body has already self-destructed its spirit!"
"What, self-destructing the soul?"
The three powerful figures were all surprised when they heard this.
"From the moment you warned us, we rushed here as fast as we could. It's only been a short time, and yet you've forced your main body to self-destruct. Is that evil demon really that powerful?"
The old man asked with a frown.
“That evil demon is indeed terrifying, more terrifying than any Yuan Shen realm being I have ever seen.
I have never seen such a strange state of soul.
Now I will show you, the deputy hall masters, the memories that the main body passed on to me."
After Elder Xing finished speaking, he made a hand gesture and manifested the spiritual memory he had previously received from his main body in front of the three powerful figures.
Suddenly, pictures appeared in the air.
It was the scene where Elder Xing, after receiving the message from the middle-aged man in purple robe and tall crown and others, started rushing to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, and then when he saw Lu Qing about to kill the two disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he took action to stop him.
The three powerful figures watched attentively.
At the beginning, they looked normal, but when they saw King Zhenwu appear, their expressions changed a little.
"King Zhenwu has actually taken that crucial step. It seems the Demon Realm will have another Five Tribulations Demon King."
One of the figures said in a serious tone.
The Five Tribulations Soul has already affected the overall situation to a certain extent.
However, before this figure could finish his sigh, he saw King Zhenwu being knocked away by Lu Qing's punch. He couldn't help but pause, revealing an expression of disbelief.
"What? The King of Zhenwu, who has half a foot into the Five Tribulations Realm, was actually sent flying by a single punch?"
The other two powerful figures were also shocked.
However, what surprised them even more was yet to come.
In the picture, King Zhenwu was knocked back by a punch, and became furious, revealing his true form as a demon ape.
But what the three powerful figures could not have imagined was that even King Zhenwu, who had unleashed the true form of the Demon Ape, was still no match for the evil demon.
Not only was his arm shattered by a punch, but he was also crushed into a pulp by a palm strike.
Especially when they saw Lu Qing create a crack in space with one punch and create turbulence in space with one palm, the three of them suddenly widened their eyes.
"His fist shattered the void," the old man muttered. "This evil demon clearly hasn't comprehended the laws of space, yet he's managed to forcibly shatter the void with his own strength. Just how powerful is his body?"
Next, we saw Lu Qing manifesting the body of a true witch under the joint suppression of Elder Xing and the large formation formed by the two clans' spirits.
Not only did he break free from all the suppressing forces, but the sword energy he shot out at will forced Elder Xing into a state of great embarrassment, and he had to use all his strength to barely resist it.
However, the two large formations formed by the two clans' primordial spirits were destroyed by Lu Qing's palms. After the powerful primordial spirits were shattered into pieces, they were completely refined.
The three powerful figures were startled and could no longer remain calm, their faces all changed drastically.
However, at this moment, the picture in the air suddenly disappeared.
"Elder Xing?" The old man immediately turned his head.
But Elder Xing, whose body became even more illusory, smiled bitterly.
"Deputy Palace Master, these are the only memories of the soul that the main body has transmitted. I don't even know what happened afterwards. I think it was because the situation was too critical that the main body didn't even have time to transmit its memories again before it self-destructed."
The three powerful figures fell silent.
They naturally knew that although the Yuanshen realm could be split into clones, the main body and the clones were not always connected.
Especially if the distance between them is too far, if they want to exchange memories, they must use secret methods to communicate with each other.
Obviously, the current situation is that Elder Xing's main body must have self-destructed after using the secret method to transfer memories.
The huge deep pit in the ground beneath our feet was caused by the power of its self-explosion.
I just don’t know what happened to the evil demon afterwards. Did he die together with Elder Xing’s main body, or did he escape?
Looking at Elder Xing's increasingly illusory figure, the old man sighed and said, "Alright, leave the rest to us. Elder Xing, go back to the Soul Lamp and rest. We'll discuss your resurrection after we return."
"Thank you, Vice Palace Master."
Elder Xing was overjoyed when he heard this. After bowing to the three powerful figures, he turned into a stream of light and entered the glass lamp.
The soul fragment he left behind was not strong to begin with. After performing the secret technique and manifesting his memories, it consumed additional energy and became even weaker.
Only within the soul lamp can one slowly recover, so it is not advisable to stay outside for too long.
After Elder Xing got into the soul lamp, the old man put it away.
"Palace Master Wu, have you decided to revive Xing Jian?" a figure asked.
"Of course. Over the years, Xing Jian has been running around for the Holy Alliance and has done a lot of things. The merits he has accumulated are enough to exchange for a resurrection qualification." The old man nodded.
"What about the other Yuan Shen realms?"
"Let's do everything according to the rules. Even our Holy Alliance doesn't have many resources needed for resurrection, and there are so many eyes watching us, so we can't go beyond the rules.
When we get back, we'll check their achievements and resurrect those whose achievements meet the requirements."
"Okay, let's follow the rules, and no one will have anything to say." The figure nodded.
After the three of them had discussed the resurrection, they fell silent again.
After a few breaths, the old man said, "Two deputy hall masters, please tell me what you think about this matter."
"The origin of this evil demon is really mysterious. He doesn't seem like someone from our Tianyuan World." A powerful figure pondered for a moment and then said.
"Indeed, the strength of this evil demon's body is too abnormal, and it is obviously not something that can be cultivated by ordinary body refining methods.
In our Tianyuan world, neither the demons nor the monsters have such a powerful method of body refining.
He's also surprisingly proficient in swordsmanship. According to Elder Xing, the sword energy he released seems to have a strong connection to the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect."
The third figure also said.
"His body is extremely terrifying, able to break through the void with his body, and he is also proficient in swordsmanship, able to cut off the four tribulations of the Yuanshen with a sword. Such a person is definitely not from our Tianyuan World."
"You're all right. This evil demon shouldn't be from our Tianyuan World." The old man nodded. "Also, I now have some idea why his body is so powerful."
"Palace Master Wu, do you know the secret of this evil demon's body?"
When the other two heard this, they were shocked and asked quickly.
They knew that although they were all deputy hall masters of the Holy Alliance, they had equal status.
But compared to this old soul who has lived for who knows how many years, they are far inferior in terms of qualifications and experience.
"If I'm not mistaken, the body-refining technique practiced by this evil demon is most likely the legendary technique of the Wu clan, passed down from ancient times."
"The witch clan?"
The two powerful figures looked at each other in bewilderment. They were very unfamiliar with this word.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. The Wu clan is a powerful race that survived in the ancient times.
According to rumors, this starry sky was once controlled by this powerful race.
However, for unknown reasons, this powerful race disappeared into history.
It was because I went out to explore the starry sky in the past that I learned some information about this ancient race in a certain void cave.
It is rumored that this witch clan is a terrifying race that focuses on cultivating the physical body.
Their physical bodies are much stronger than those of our current demons and monsters, and are almost not on the same level.
According to rumors, members of the Wu clan, after practicing to a certain level, can develop mysterious physical magical powers.
Those who have reached a high level of realm can display the magical power of Dharma in their physical body, expanding to a size of thousands of feet, collapsing mountains and splitting the earth, and turning rivers and seas upside down with ease.
The most powerful witch can even catch the stars and the moon, and step on all the worlds. It's so terrifying that it's hard to describe!"
"Catch the stars and the moon, and step on all the worlds..."
The other two deputy hall masters took a deep breath after listening to the old man's description.
They really found it hard to imagine what kind of existence could do such a horrific thing.
I'm afraid that even the mysterious existence above the soul would find it difficult to possess such supreme power.
"It's hard to imagine, right? I also found it hard to believe when I first learned about these things. However, the Void Cave that I accidentally entered also existed very long ago, making it difficult to verify. So, this information isn't necessarily fabricated."
The other two deputy hall masters were so agitated that they fell into a long silence.
"By the way, in the scene shown by Xing Jian just now, the evil demon transformed into a giant who was a hundred feet tall. Could it be that it was because he practiced the martial arts of the Wu clan?" A deputy hall master suddenly said.
"Besides this, I can't think of any other reason," the old man said, "The strength of this evil demon's body is too abnormal. It is beyond the reach of any physical training method we know of.
Perhaps only the secret skills of the ancient witch clan could have such an effect.
During the incident at Tianshu Sacred Mountain, didn’t this evil demon enter a secret realm that was lacking in spiritual energy and was filled with powerful monsters?
I suspect that the secret realm is most likely a relic left by the ancient witch clan.
This evil witch clan technique might have been obtained from that secret realm."
The other two deputy hall masters recalled what happened that year, as well as the much information their Holy Alliance had subsequently investigated.
He couldn't help but nod slightly, feeling that what Palace Master Wu said made sense.
Moreover, the Tianshu Sacred Mountain has always been extremely mysterious. Over the years, their Holy Alliance has explored it countless times, but still has not been able to crack the mystery.
No one knows what secrets are hidden in its core.
"I really want to see the ancient witch clan's skills and see what they look like." A deputy hall master couldn't help but sigh.
"Unfortunately, all the aura here was completely wiped out by the might of the Sword Master's self-detonation. I don't know whether the evil demon was sucked into the depths of the void or escaped."
"Based on the strength displayed by that evil demon, I think even if Xing Jian self-destructs his soul, he won't be able to do anything to him. So, it's very likely that the evil demon has already escaped."
"If he escaped, where would he go? To our human territory, or to the demon realm?
There is no breath here, so even if we want to calculate, we have no idea where to start.
It is also said that this evil demon not only possesses a rare treasure that can block cause and effect calculations, but also controls a certain space treasure.
If he uses that space treasure, wouldn't it be even more difficult for us to find him?"
As the three deputy hall masters spoke, they felt the situation became more and more difficult.
The evil demon was so powerful that even a soul at the peak of the fourth tragedies could not be his match.
Although he has not comprehended the rules of space, he has control over rare space treasures and can move through space.
In addition, he possesses a rare treasure that can block cause and effect, making it impossible to calculate.
There is a terrible enemy hiding in the dark, hostile to their Holy Alliance.
Even they felt a headache.
Boom!
Just when the three were in trouble, they saw another wave coming from the void in front of them.
The next moment, several figures emitting the aura of ancient ferocious beasts suddenly appeared. (End of this chapter)
