Chapter 723 - 717 Eight-Armed Demon Fallen Angel
The Divine Turtle, ever since it transformed into a Demon Immortal during the tribulation, was quite full of itself!
Even though it harbored greater ambitions for cultivation, achieving so much in such a short period still made it somewhat conceited.
Now, it flaunted its strength, which far surpassed the mermaids, without any need for pretense.
The only downside was that by constantly receiving benefits from Qin Feng, which rapidly advanced its power, the idea of parting ways with him slowly faded.
Remaining under Qin Feng had too many advantages. Now, even if asked to leave, it would hesitate.
After all, it would be difficult to find such benefits elsewhere!
More importantly, after becoming a Demon Immortal, it had tried divination several times only to find that despite exhausting a lot of its spirit, there was no possibility of getting rid of Qin Feng.
Believing in its own talents and abilities, the Divine Turtle eventually accepted its fate. Since it couldn’t free itself from Qin Feng’s binding, it decided to dutifully serve him from now on, or else it would be uncomfortable for itself!
Today, while it was frolicking among a group of mermaids, just as it was about to change its posture to show off its agile form, Qin Feng suddenly summoned it.
The Divine Turtle shook its body, shedding the water from its head, and was initially startled by the surrounding scenery!
As a being adept at divining fortunes through the Heavenly Mechanism, it possessed a sensitivity to the Heavenly Dao far beyond the ordinary, quickly noticing something amiss with this particular world!
It inwardly twitched, greatly admiring Qin Feng’s ability to wander about.
Since following this master, in just a short amount of time, it had visited many places.
Running to and fro from south to north in the Biluo was one thing, as it was still within its own domain whether in the Southern or Northern Domain!
However, after later visiting a higher Divine Realm, it felt constantly fraught with peril, feeling pressured every time Qin Feng summoned it.
Now, the pressure it felt in this world seemed even more dangerous than in that higher Divine Realm. How could it not be alarmed?
While inwardly complaining, the Divine Turtle also understood why Qin Feng’s cultivation had progressed so rapidly!
With such random tampering, as long as one didn’t die, who wouldn’t improve rapidly?
It quickly withdrew its spirit that was sensing its surroundings, raised its head, and seeing the Swallowing Sky Toad obediently laying beside Qin Feng like a good dog, it immediately felt competitive and scuttled forward, getting close and saying with a sycophant’s demeanor, “Master, whatever you command, your servant will rush through fire and water, and never consider its own life!”
“Mm, good!”
Qin Feng seemed very pleased with its attitude.
Having a clever servant to flatter him occasionally was indeed comfortable!
No matter how it went about doing things, it indeed made him feel content.
But now was not the time for flattery. Qin Feng took out a Jade Talisman Liu had given him years ago and handed it to the Divine Turtle, saying, “This is the Sensing Jade Token given to me by Senior Sister Liu. Help me divine where she is now!”
“Yes, Master!”
The Divine Turtle grasped the Jade Talisman in its mouth, sensed the energy within, then flipped its head, tossing the Jade Talisman onto the Eight Trigrams Chart on its Turtle Shell.
As the Divine Light of the Eight Trigrams circled around the Jade Talisman on its back, a mysterious and mystical aura radiated from it, looking incredibly profound!
After a while, the Divine Turtle stopped its divination, suspended the Jade Talisman with a wisp of immortal power, and handed it back to Qin Feng, saying, “Master, the laws of this world are too chaotic, which interfered with my divination. Additionally, the energy in this Jade Talisman is weak and the distance from its original owner too great, so I can only vaguely sense the general direction.”
“No matter!”
Qin Feng waved his hand, “Knowing the general direction is enough. Let’s rush over there, and the Sensing Jade Token should react when we’re closer!”
While speaking, he swept up his sleeves and used his Space Divine Power to envelop the forms of the Swallowing Sky Toad and the Divine Turtle within a space, shrinking them down to the size of an infant’s fist and holding them in his hand.
If not for the Divine Turtle peeking around and the Swallowing Sky Toad’s cute, white belly heaving, others might mistake them for two finely carved gemstone figurines.
Qin Feng did not place them into the Demon Refining Pot but kept them close.
First, he needed the Divine Turtle to guide the way, and second, he required their combat support!
Not only did the Divine Turtle feel that this world was incredibly eerie, but Qin Feng also noticed it, and even after activating his Yin Yang Ghost Eye, he could see several powerful auras in the distance, cautioning him against underestimating this place.
In such a dangerous place, caution was advisable.
Normally, he would choose to thoroughly explore the peculiarities of this world before making plans.
But with an urgent rescue mission at hand, he dared not delay. Thus, without his usual caution, after gathering his two beasts with his Space Divine Power, he transformed into a bolt of Light Escape and dashed swiftly in the direction guided by the Divine Turtle.
Heavenly Distance with Supreme Divine Power, although faster, also consumed much more energy. If he continued to use it, he might deplete his power before even finding Liu Xuanling and the others.
Indeed, such Supreme Divine Power wasn’t something his current realm should control. Even after mastering it, using it was nothing compared to the ease of a Golden Immortal Great Power!
An Immortal Realm Golden Immortal using Heavenly Distance could treat vast distances as mere steps, stepping through millions of miles in an instant, far stronger than Qin Feng’s thousand-mile step by ten thousand times!
This wasn’t to say that a Golden Immortal was stronger than tens of thousands of True Immortals combined. Rather, the difference in manipulating laws fundamentally created such a vast disparity!
Qin Feng, transformed into a Light Escape, moved with incredible speed. Although not as fast as Heavenly Distance, he was as quick as a shooting star and covered tens of thousands of miles in just a moment.
Whether it was demons on the ground or strange birds flying in the sky, they all felt as if a streak of light had flashed by in an instant, and when they turned their heads, it was nowhere to be seen.
However, this was not an ordinary world. Various demonic creatures were not only naturally powerful, but there were also a considerable number of strong ones. Thus, many powerful demons and monsters did see Qin Feng’s Light Escape, but realizing that the light flew too fast, they had no intention of giving chase!
Otherwise, if anyone dared to fly so boldly over their territory, they would definitely be knocked down to be gutted and eaten as food!
Along the way, Qin Feng not only encountered a variety of bizarre evil creatures but also witnessed wars erupting in many places.
Some were conflicts between demons fighting for territory, while others involved demons besieging various demon beasts. However, the largest scene Qin Feng encountered was a swarm of Demon Spiders attacking a huge castle built against a mountain like a blanket covering the sky.
The castle was perched on a cliff, not only strategically located but also heavily fortified. Even flying magical beasts found it difficult to attack, not to mention climbing up from the foothills along the castle walls.
But these Demon Spiders were different. Not only were they a group of skilled climbers, their eight sharp spider legs allowed them to climb along the cliff to the castle as if walking on flat ground. They could also spray webs to create a network; the castle and the entire nearby mountain were encased by the Demon Spiders, trapping every creature inside. Despite the demons inside furiously attacking the exterior spiders, they still couldn’t escape the fate of being trapped inside by countless spiders.
Inside the castle was an aura of a powerful figure, an Eight-Armed Demon that had achieved demon god status!
Even this ferocious Eight-Armed Demon was firmly trapped inside the castle, unable to escape.
Near the castle were several mountain peaks, each occupied by a massive Demon Spider.
These spiders, all of whom had condensed divine status, stared fixedly at the powerful Eight-Armed Demon with their crimson eyes. Whenever it tried to escape, they would join forces to strike back, forcing it back, clearly determined to capture alive every creature within the castle, even the demon god!
Qin Feng was alarmed by the number and strength of the Demon Spiders, and he was even more worried about the safety of his senior brothers. Therefore, he merely circled the perimeter and bypassed the group of Demon Spiders to fly into the distance.
He had no choice but to leave, as his arrival had already caught the attention of those Spider Demon Gods, one of which even aimed its buxom abdomen at Qin Feng in the sky, angling its plump rear.
As a Cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect, and having a Ghost-Faced Spider under his command, Qin Feng knew all too well what that Demon Spider wanted to do by raising its abdomen.
Though he was tempted to release a Golden Light to pierce the spinneret of the female spider, he ultimately chose not to provoke the Spider Demon Gods below and made a quicker escape.
Below, a Demon Spider that had just released its web barely missing snapped angrily, but had no intention to pursue Qin Feng. Instead, it turned its wrath towards the creatures inside the castle.
It thrust its slender and elongated spider legs forcefully through a window, piercing the chest of a demon. Ignoring the demon’s stubborn life force and painful screams, it pulled him out and crunched him down completely.
Feeling the sweet scent of blood and flesh in its mouth somewhat calmed its raging mood.
Qin Feng took a deep breath after distancing himself from that group of forest-dwelling Demon Spiders.
This world was truly eerie, undoubtedly part of the Dark Camp!
Based on the analysis by the elders of various factions during the Five Domains Alliance, this Star Domain’s Dark Camp is mainly divided into several types such as the Abyss, Demon Realm, Hell, Netherworld, and so on.
Among them, the abyss was the strongest but also the most chaotic!
The Demon Realm was immense, but it also had the largest number of worlds, such as the medium-sized Red Flame Demon Realm, which was also a part of the Demon Realm!
Hell varied in size, the largest of which, even though not as vast as the Great World, was nearly comparable.
As for the Netherworld, it was a very special category!
Not only because the Netherworld was a world of the dead, unsuitable for living beings, but also because its existence differed from that of other worlds.
Those independent Death Worlds were one thing, but what was crucial were some powerful Netherworlds that often attached themselves to higher or even Great Worlds, utterly different from places like Hell or the Demon Realm.
These Death Kingdoms were primarily classified as part of the Dark Camp because they were disliked by the beings of the normal worlds and were particularly shunned!
Yet the Dark Camp was inclusive, unconcerned with any power system or whether you were alive or dead, everything was respected based solely on power.
As long as you were strong enough, even conquering Hell or the Abyss and becoming the master of a realm was no issue!
In fact, both Hell and the Abyss were ruled by powerful Undead Lords!
Following that, Qin Feng sped along, seeing not only various chaotic and fierce battles but also some bizarre beings.
For instance, several angels with wings on their backs!
However, these angels had wings as dark as ink and emitted a potent dark aura, completely different from the Light Angels Qin Feng had encountered before.
These were a rare group of Fallen Angels!
When Qin Feng saw these Dark Angels, they were resisting an attack by a group of Demon Spiders.
They were formidable, with astonishing war power, not only retaining their combat skills from when they were angels but seemingly even stronger after transforming into Fallen Angels!
Of course, this was also due to the more brutal competition in the world of the Dark Camp, which forced them to fight harder!
Although surprised to encounter the existence of Dark Angels in this place, Qin Feng still paid them no mind, steering clear from the battlefield and rapidly flying away in a different direction.
With a burst of speed like a swift gust, he gradually noticed some slight fluctuations on the Sensing Jade Token.
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
This indicated not only that he was not far from Liu Xuanling and the others but also that Liu Xuanling was alive and well, otherwise the Sensing Jade Token wouldn’t have shown such a reaction!
