Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Thus, a flaw had emerged in the Thousand-Hand Arhat Formation.

The Titan Demon Tree seized this flaw in an instant; countless branches, like blades, burst forth, piercing directly through the formation at the point of weakness!

"Boom!" Once the Thousand-Hand Arhat Formation was broken, Zhuge Zhengshan and the others were all sent flying.

"Dammit, we still failed!" Zhuge Lingtian cursed in anger.

At this moment, a terrifying and ferocious demonic face appeared on the trunk of the Titan Demon Tree.

The next second, a pair of blood-red eyes, like those of a bewitching fox, appeared in the demon face's eye sockets.

Within those eyes, a terrifying power surged out instantly.

In the blink of an eye, Zhuge Lingtian felt a shock in his chest, his mind went dizzy, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from his lips.

Without the support of the Thousand-Hand Arhat Formation, Zhuge Lingtian, at the Saintly Venerable First Layer of Heaven, was simply no match for the Titan Demon Tree.

"Everyone be careful, do not look into its eyes, the Titan Demon Tree's demonic eyes have a very strong mental shock effect!" Jiu Yin warned.

Upon hearing this, the women all closed their eyes in unison.

But Chu Qin did not follow suit; instead, his eyes lit up with a dazzling Buddhist light.

To Jiu Yin's surprise, once the Buddhist light in Chu Qin's eyes appeared, the spiritual shock from the Titan Demon Tree not only caused no soul damage to Chu Qin but was also repelled by his mental force.

"Freak!" Jiu Yin couldn't help but exclaim. This scene could only mean that Chu Qin's spiritual power had surpassed that of the Titan Demon Tree.

She had been watching Chu Qin's journey all along; in less than two years, Chu Qin had progressed from the Divine Lord Third Layer realm to now being able to compete with the Second Layer Saint Honor!

"What!" The Titan Demon Tree spoke in human language, quickly directing its gaze toward Chu Qin.

The next second, demonic power erupted all over the Titan Demon Tree, and the originally tender green leaves turned into pitch-black color, transforming into a barrage of black darts that rushed towards Chu Qin.

Facing the attack from the Titan Demon Tree, Chu Qin still did not dodge; in fact, he actively teleported out of the protection of the Hell Compass.

Immediately after, with a thought from Chu Qin, the Primordial True Sword appeared around him, quickly turning into countless sword shadows.

The next second, the innumerable sword shadows of the Primordial True Sword collided with the leaf darts from the Titan Demon Tree that covered the sky and earth.

In an instant, a series of crisp metallic clashing sounds echoed throughout the valley.

At the same time, one could see that the Primordial sword shadows and the leaves of the Titan Demon Tree seemed to be evenly matched, clashing with each other and dissipating.

Eventually, all the darts and sword shadows neutralized each other.

"What!" Seeing this, Zhuge Lingtian's pupils contracted sharply. Just outside the Seven Hells Demon Tower, Chu Qin had to use his trump card against an Ice Demon Beast Emperor at the Saintly Venerable First Layer of Heaven.

Now, facing the Titan Demon Tree at the Second Layer Saint Honor, he was seemingly not at a disadvantage.

Could it be that Chu Qin had been hiding his true power all along!

The next moment, what shocked Zhuge Lingtian even more occurred. Chu Qin's entire body became enveloped in a gold-red flame, with armor, a crown, and six golden-red wings emerging on his back.

The next second, the gold-red flames violently expanded, forming a fiery sphere around Chu Qin, resembling a sun.

"Absolute Flame Burning Heaven!"

Following Chu Qin's light cry, the fireball, with terrifying power, hurtled towards the Titan Demon Tree!

The Titan Demon Tree suddenly became frightened. Its body erupted with dense black energy, and all its branches extended, meeting the fiery globe launched by Chu Qin.

"Roar!" With a thunderous boom, Chu Qin's fireball and all the branches of the Titan Demon Tree collided violently.

However, in just a moment, Chu Qin's flames began burning up the branches of the Titan Demon Tree.

The flames quickly spread along the branches of the Titan Demon Tree toward its trunk.

The entire Titan Demon Tree caught fire, frantically burning under Chu Qin's Absolute Flame Burning Heaven, and the Titan Demon Tree let out a painful moan!

Zhuge Lingtian was utterly astonished. If he had previously thought that Chu Qin was merely able to compete with the Titan Demon Tree at the Second Layer Saint Honor, now it was a complete overpowering.

He believed that Chu Qin must have been hiding his strength; otherwise, it was impossible to have such a terrifying improvement in just a few days.

"Chu Qin, just how much have you improved!" Phoenix Dai Mei furrowed her brows. Though both were cultivating and had consumed the power from the Eye of Hell and the Cosmic Energy Core, this Chu Qin was changing with every encounter!

Chu Qin was also very satisfied with his performance. In fact, he hadn't known before how much he had improved, but facing the Second Layer Saint Honor, he still had complete confidence.

Now that I look at it, it is indeed so.

"Chu Qin, be careful! The Titan Demon Tree has a last resort, its soul backlash, which can obliterate the person who kills it along with itself," Jiu Yin shouted immediately afterward.

Chu Qin's pupils contracted slightly. Indeed, the Titan Demon Tree submerged in the sea of flames had not perished completely.

But then, the trunk of the Titan Demon Tree, almost thoroughly burned down, contained within its shell a black shadow shooting up into the sky, heading straight for Chu Qin.

Thanks to Jiu Yin's warning, Chu Qin did not let his guard down. His entire body was instantly enshrouded in Buddha's light, the final stance of the Ancient Buddha Overlord Body.

With this move deployed, Chu Qin's spiritual power started to surge, and at the same time, an invisible barrier appeared around him.

The soul of the Titan Demon Tree struck the barrier but failed to penetrate it.

Chu Qin quickly seized this opportunity, his eyes filled with Buddha's light shot out two beams, turning the Titan Demon Tree's last soul into nothingness!

"This is a supreme technique from the Great Thousand Buddha Nation! It's interesting that Chu Qin is associated with the Great Thousand Buddha Nation," Zhuge Lingtian was greatly shocked to see the technique Chu Qin deployed, and the corners of his mouth revealed a sinister and venomous smile.

But his expression was fleeting.

Chu Qin, unaware of Zhuge Lingtian's thoughts, soon landed in the valley.

"Thank you, Senior Chu Qin, for saving my life." At this moment, Zhuge Lingtian approached Chu Qin and bowed slightly.

"I wasn't saving you," Chu Qin, now more cautious around this complicated Zhuge Lingtian, did not show it blatantly, "We are, after all, in a cooperative relationship."

"Oh, that's right," Zhuge Lingtian smiled, "I just didn't expect Senior Chu Qin to be so powerful, not only concealing his strength, but it seems you also have the heritage of the Great Thousand Buddha Nation, which is really surprising to me."

"In my early years, I happened upon a Secret Manual and learned a few moves. You're not bad either. If I'm not mistaken, the formation you used also comes from the Great Thousand Buddha Nation, right?" Chu Qin probed.

"Yes. I won't hide it from you, Senior. Unlike you, who acquired it by chance, I paid a huge price to get it," Zhuge Lingtian said as he glanced at the Ancient Buddha Staff in his hand, "along with this Ancient Buddha Staff."

"I see, so that's the case," Chu Qin responded with a slight smile.

Just then, the sky instantly darkened, and all the scenery on the ground slowly and utterly disappeared at this moment.

To this spectacle, everyone was no longer surprised; defeating the tower-guarding magical beast naturally meant entering the final layer.

Soon, everything changed drastically, the surroundings became dark, giving the impression that they had entered the Netherworld with extremely low visibility.

The women immediately gathered around Chu Qin, and Zhuge Zhengshan and the others also joined Zhuge Lingtian.

Chu Qin, through his Divine Sense, discovered that the landscape here was an endless plain.

"This is the seventh layer of the Seven Hells Demon Tower, the Infinite Demon Prison!" Zhuge Lingtian declared, "The Reincarnation Divine Spring is here!"

"Then, Lingtian Saint Lord, where exactly is the location of the Reincarnation Divine Spring?" Dugu Zixi asked.

"I don't know," Zhuge Lingtian shook his head.

"You don't know?" everyone, including Chu Qin, expressed some confusion.

"Yes," Zhuge Lingtian replied, "This map was described by an elder from my Sky-holding Palace. He stayed in the Seven Hells Demon Tower for ten thousand years, mastered the rules of the first six layers, but for this seventh layer, he never found its mystery and only stumbled upon the Reincarnation Divine Spring by accident, which allowed him to leave the tower successfully."

"Chu Qin, he isn't lying," Jiu Yin said, "The seventh layer of the Seven Hells Demon Tower is where the essence lies, and ordinary people simply can't discern its rules."

"How are we to search for it then?" Chu Qin asked.

"Senior Chu Qin, since we've reached the seventh layer, we'll definitely be able to find the Reincarnation Divine Spring," Zhuge Lingtian said, "At worst, we'll spend ten thousand years if we must."

"I don't have that much time," Chu Qin said, his gaze intensifying. Then, closing his eyes, he used his Divine Sense to search for a trace, but found nothing, not even a variation in the density of the heaven earth origin energy.

The direction was completely indistinguishable!

"Forget it, let's trust our intuition, where there's a will, there's a way," Chu Qin said and, leading the women, flew towards the direction his intuition told him.

Zhuge Lingtian immediately followed with his people.

In the Infinite Demon Prison, Chu Qin and his group wandered for a long time, but without time, without direction, their aimless search was doomed to yield nothing.

Everyone was a bit disappointed.

They hadn't expected to overcome the first six layers, only to be trapped in the last!

"Chu Qin, I remember now!" At that moment, Jiu Yin's voice rang out.
