Chapter 857: Chapter 426: Formless Above and Below
The situation was even more severe than Qin Ming and the others imagined. Many villages and towns in the surrounding areas had fallen; demons co and go freely, treating villagers as slaves, forcing them to mine.
Yao Ruoxian’s flawless face was full of icy intent—nothing could be worse than this. The order in this area had collapsed, and it was actually occupied by demons.
In every village, there were two or three demons, taking the villagers to mine daily, all carrying missions. They were absolutely reckless, and when hungry, they used villagers as blood als.
Each place had beco isolated islands, and the situation here was so brutal that Yao Ruoxian’s killing intent soared, leading a team to purge the wolves, tigers, and leopards from the area overnight.
“Speak, where do you co from, who is your king?” The female grandmaster, with silver hair, was very old, but even tonight her emotions were intensely fluctuating, wanting a massive killing spree.
Soon they learned that these demon clans were conscripted from deep within the mountains, and the king they spoke of was an outsider.
Currently, those demons led by the king are stationed in a city far away.
Gengjin City, just tens of miles away.
In earlier years, there were only sparse villages and towns here, but as large tal veins were mined, the popularity increased, gradually forming a city.
In recent years, as tal mining stopped, Gengjin City had lost its forr prosperity.
After various Night Ruins creatures erged everywhere, under such circumstances, consensus was reached—whoever could protect a place could beco its master.
Yao Ruoxian did not expect that outsiders from a demon camp had their eyes on this place, not to protect the local people but to seek rare mineral resources.
A lot of village and town people in this area had been enslaved. Those demons looking for Jade Iron and Exotic Gold Particles were bloody and brutal, not treating villagers as humans; so were worked to death, others used as food.
This group of outsider demons has an even greater destructive force than Night Ruins creatures.
“They should be killed!” Upon learning this situation, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
“Among that group of outsider demons, there might be grandmaster-level experts.” They soon discovered this news and all displayed solemn expressions.
The guard commander said, “To be safe, go to the giant city five hundred miles away to summon so experts. There should be a grandmaster there.”
Yao Ruoxian nodded, personally writing a letter and having it delivered overnight.
“We’ve been rushing around; tonight, rest and gather strength. After assistance arrives, go to Gengjin City to probe, hoping to capture those demons entirely.”
That night, Qin Ming went directly into the mountains. He didn’t want to waste ti; while the group was resting, he delved into the dark mines.
It was late at night, and the bottomless mine seed like an abyss, akin to an entrance to hell. As soon as Qin Ming entered, he felt sothing was wrong; the sound of iron chains echoed, ghosts appeared and disappeared.
Obviously, this place had beco a junction of Night Ruins and reality; he saw an eerie blue Fire Spring deep underground, along with so terrifying figures.
Qin Ming did not stubbornly go further but chose to exit and move to another mining area.
In this mountain range, there was nothing but ancient mines, and the tallic Qi chanism was very rich.
Deep underground, Qin Ming sat quietly, operated the “Golden Silkworm Scripture,” and instantly, an inexplicable Qi chanism flowed through the large tal mine.
He felt fused with the entire mountain, as if an invisible tallic Qi engulfed him.
Outside Qin Ming’s body, dense golden threads appeared, like a divine silkworm spinning silk, piercing into the mountain walls, then weaving a net and cocoon, enveloping him.
“So the subsequent secret scripture is the ‘Silkworm Emperor’s Golden Scripture’.” He successfully witnessed the new world, picking up the secret treasure.
Now, Qin Ming was in a lush tallic forest; he seed transford into a Silkworm Emperor, feeding on tallic Qi, seeing pages of scriptures hanging on a Golden Divine Mulberry Tree.
Most importantly, he was nourished by a special active tallic Qi here, accumulating considerable mysterious Spiritual Material.
He sensed a possibility of making a significant breakthrough here.
“There’s a high probability that he’ll step into the Heart Lamp Domain.” It was an instinctive intuition for him.
However, upon careful consideration, he sensed in the dark that it might not be wise, there could be a risk of failure.
If the Heart Lamp does not ignite, and stops midway, it may severely injure his Primordial Qi.
Qin Ming frowned; early extraction of a secret treasure could let him break through a small realm, but as more accomplishnts piled on, subsequent realm barriers beca harder to break through.
“It seems as expected before, he still needs to acquire the Sea Covering Scripture secret scripture.”
Qin Ming no longer distracted himself, contemplating the “Silkworm Emperor’s Golden Scripture” here, and after seeing the new world, practicing here was twice as effective.
Outside him, tal Qi turned into various weapons, shooting everywhere, and silkworm threads traversed the void, seemingly twisting the heavens and earth.
A long ti passed before he opened his eyes, his mind returning to reality, and the entire mine had almost collapsed, it was dilapidated, covered with Silkworm Emperor’s Strength externally.
“I should go back.” Qin Ming got up and left the mine.
On his way back, he stopped slightly in front of another abyss-like large mine, seeing the eerie blue fire and the blurred ghostly image of a city.
“How many layers are there in Heaven according to mythology, and so many layers in the Night Ruins?” he murmured, disappearing instantly from here.
“It has been clarified that those aliens occupying Gengjin City are not native demon clans of Ye State; there’s a great possibility they are our old adversaries.”
Upon Qin Ming’s return, Yao Ruoxian inford him of this news.
With Shallow Night’s arrival, they further confird it was indeed old enemies—the demon camp that had once fought them on the Shenshang Plain.
During this period, many events occurred in Ye State, the demon camp of the extre west used to be covetous, wanting to dispatch troops close but didn’t dare reveal identities.
For instance, before the fall of Yujing, when geniuses from various Outer Domain areas entered Earth City, the demon camp also secretly arrived but only dared to linger in the distance, not daring to truly reveal themselves.
After the transformation of heaven and earth, they saw an opportunity, and when connections everywhere disconnected, so of them decisively moved to remote areas to collect Creations and such.
The guard commander reported, “They don’t dare to massively enter Ye State—it’s just a small contingent. In Gengjin City, there should be one or two demon masters, several seed experts, one of which might be the Jade Emperor.”
“Hmm, so powerful Heavenly Demon Species indeed ca!” Yao Ruoxian was surprised; she was familiar with the Jade Emperor, an extrely remarkable figure within the demon camp.
Qin Ming spoke up, “In the Shenshang Plain, they were already defeated, yet they dare to stir trouble here; kill them all!”
Upon hearing this, those present beca angrier and angrier, their killing intent soaring; the forr defeated foes dared to penetrate Ye State’s core, causing trouble in the midst of the world’s transformation.
