Chapter 331: Hope of Breaking Through Again (Part 2)
"Traverse the line of life and death, sharpen the body and spirit, and with the aid of precious medicine, the speed of cultivation can be greatly enhanced."
He didn't expect that a single bloody battle could equal years of hard practice, but as long as there was improvement and he felt himself continuously getting stronger, it was enough.
Qin Ming charged and fought across domains, and after crossing them, he killed his way back, worried that the territory he was watching might be invaded by the Demon Clan.
He found that his worry was unfounded; many demons were avoiding that place, unwilling to approach.
After all, with him charging back and forth, having already slain four Heavenly Demon Species, who would dare to court death?
Moreover, the Thunder King Bird naturally progressed, stimulated by the great battle, its secret technique was mastered, and the accumulated Auspicious Beast Blood took effect, allowing it to break through to the Fourth Realm today.
Subsequently, Qin Ming unleashed himself fully, leaving the Thunder King Bird to guard home; he set himself free, killing towards the distance, seeking strange blood, gathering treasure medicine, fighting and refining along the way.
By the end, his white robe was dyed red, his entire body covered in blood, even his hair was damp.
At this moment, he seemed to have truly become the terrifying Zhili Ape Demon King; all demons who saw him thought so.
Qin Ming officially marched towards the distance, intending to go to the aid of old friends.
In a certain region, Li Qingxu was shocked and said, "What did you say? Qin Ming broke through to the Third Realm before me and even stepped into the Immortal Road Domain? He also went to Huai'an Town to fight in a sword duel and killed the Heavenly Demon Species there?"
He was momentarily stunned, realizing his opponent had not only caught up but also surpassed him in realm!
Then, he fell into a frenzied battle, wielding a bamboo stick, sweeping through the nearby demon clan.
"I, Li Qingxu, have advanced to the Third Realm today, intending to slay demons and eliminate devils. Is there a Heavenly Demon Species that dares to fight?" Li Qingxu fought amidst the bloody mist.
Soon after, he staggered, pouring blue liquid into his mouth.
He couldn't recall how many vials of potion he had consumed; otherwise, he would have long since been unable to continue fighting.
Not just him; anyone who stood out was besieged and couldn't possibly last long without life-saving Spiritual Medicine.
Li Qingxu got his wish, encountering a Heavenly Demon Species and engaging in a fierce battle there.
In the end, he laughed heartily, his face pale, nearly cut diagonally at the shoulder, with intestines spilling out and organs on the brink of falling.
Yet the violet-glowing bamboo stick in his hand pierced through the forehead of the young demon opposite him, shattering its head, with white "tofu" flowing out.
"Haha, it was worth it, I finally killed a seed!" He fell to the ground, laughing to the sky while many behind him criticized him, and now he vindicated himself.
Evidently, he took a devastating all-destructive approach, his own life also nearing its end.
Despite having faced numerous defeats, the Li Family still valued him greatly, with a group of people accompanying him. Although they were nearly exhausted, finally, three shaky figures rushed over, piecing his body together and dragging it away.
A middle-aged man's voice trembled, "It's bad, even if he survives, he's probably ruined, his Spiritual Field has collapsed, and his organs are damaged."
"It doesn't matter; today I fought to my heart's content, finally having a thoroughly satisfying battle!" Li Qingxu said with a smile while coughing up blood.
"What about the backup that Ancestor Master Cao left for you?" the Li Family people urgently asked.
"It's dissolved..." Li Qingxu closed his eyes.
Qin Ming fought all the way, struggling to move towards the distance. Normally, a journey of one or two hundred miles was nothing to him.
And with Divine Travel, he could arrive in the blink of an eye.
But now, with every mile he advanced, he was drenched in a significant amount of demon blood. Some places were desolate, others densely populated with demon clan forces, which he had to carve through.
He hadn't encountered any more Heavenly Demon Species but collected two types of strange blood from other creatures.
Perhaps there would never be another such opportunity; in today's battle alone, Qin Ming had gathered nine types of medicine, quite astonishing.
Halfway through the journey, he sensed a disturbance in the distance, accompanied by violent energy fluctuations. Then that area resounded with battle cries, as an old fellow of the late stage of Fourth Realm charged over.
Qin Ming realized that something significant must have occurred.
"The Immortal Seed Su Shiyun has fallen in battle!" Soon after, such news came from the front.
"What?" Even Qin Ming was shocked; that was no ordinary person. Like Cui Chonghe, Su Shiyun had been enlightened at the age of three or four, entering the Fangwai Immortal Land early, regarded as one of the top seeds.
In the past, Qin Ming, while aboard a flying ship to Kunleng, had met Su Shiyun, Xue Yunzheng, and other disciples of the Immortal Road and Esoteric Buddhism. They had been given special treatment, allowed to gather Heavenly Spiritual Objects from the celestial medicinal fields.
Even such an Immortal Seed perished in this conflict, which speaks volumes about the battle's brutality.
"A late-stage Fourth Realm old demon had stealthily snuffed out this exceptional genius!" someone angrily revealed the truth.
Otherwise, this Immortal Seed wouldn't have died; she had been performing extraordinarily well.
The region was thrown into chaos, with an old fellow going berserk, charging in for revenge against the demon clan.
"Jiang Ran was the first to appear, taking Su Shiyun's body away."
"Is there a sliver of hope to bring her back?"
"There should be no hope."
…
Qin Ming was fully focused, progressing through the battle, staying on high alert to prevent an old demon among the ranks from suddenly leaping at him.
"Kill!"
Frustrated with the slow pace, he leapt into areas dense with demons, nearly traversing in mid-air, stepping on the heads of many demons as he advanced.
He protected himself with a Spirit Field, visible as one head after another caved in and shattered.
This method of travel was too conspicuous, and after he trampled many demons to death along the way, suddenly from the side, a chilling long spear thrust at him, swift as lightning.
