Chapter 1566 - 453: Who the Hell Are You?! (6k)_2

The Taichu Master hovered above the Blood Pool, trembling with excitement as he gazed at the scene below.

He continuously rubbed his hands, a maniacal gleam in his eyes.

"Good, good, good! Absorb to your heart’s content, my perfect vessel... Once you are reborn, we will storm back to the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty and make that wench pay in blood!"

Amidst this frenzied outcry, Zhou Qing’s gaze pierced through the churning emerald waters of the pool, suddenly locking onto a spot at the bottom—

There lay a segment of bone, entirely crimson, glistening with an eerie luster under the pool’s reflection.

More astonishingly, the surrounding water seemed deliberately avoiding this piece of bone, forming a vacuum around it.

Zhou Qing suppressed his wildly beating heart and, under the cover of the surging energy of the Blood Pool, quietly activated the "Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture."

A thread of Golden Roc power wrapped around his hand, cutting through the viscous waters to securely seize the Blood Phoenix Bone.

"Hiss—"

The instant he grasped it, a scorching sensation surged up his arm, striking directly at his heart and spirit.

Zhou Qing clearly felt the pulse of blood within the bone segment—this was indeed a highly active Blood Phoenix Bone, assuredly containing pure true blood within!

He suppressed his excitement and quickly stored it in the storage bag close to his body.

But in a flash, an unforeseen change occurred!

"Boom—"

The immense medicinal power accumulated within him suddenly erupted, and the cultivation he had previously suppressed with a Secret Technique broke through constraints in an instant.

The barrier of Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection was torn apart like paper, and his cultivation was directly restored to the Mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm.

And this was just the beginning—

"Crack!"

A clear shattering sound came from within, and the barrier of the Late-stage Spirit Severing Realm also gave way.

Moreover, his cultivation continued to rise at an astonishing speed.

Spiritual Power surged through his meridians like a flood, with every inch of flesh greedily devouring the force.

"How is this possible?!"

Zhou Qing’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

From Divinity Transformation Realm to Spirit Severing Realm, the enhancement of cultivation required not only the accumulation of Spiritual Power but also the perfection of the Realm!

The Realm is like water, while cultivation is like a boat.

Without a sufficiently profound Realm as support, forcibly enhancing cultivation could easily lead to an unstable foundation or even madness!

He had only ascended to the Mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm a few years ago, and his Realm was far from sufficient.

But now, this strange medicinal power bypassed the aspect of the Realm entirely, forcibly pushing him to the Late-stage Spirit Severing Realm!

This practically overturned the fundamentals of cultivation!

Indeed, as the Taichu Master previously stated, this medicinal power was for restoring the Demon Saint Realm!

The Demon Saint Realm was comparable to the Human Race’s Earth Venerable!

The foundation of such an existence was beyond the grasp of ordinary cultivators!

He quickly introspected his Sea of Consciousness.

In the center of the Sea of Consciousness, the four-colored Dao Flower was spinning so rapidly it almost left afterimages!

The silver, red, blue, and gold petals emitted brilliant light, layering to filter and purify the onrushing medicinal power.

The energy processed by the Dao Flower not only removed all impurities but also became gentler and purer, perfectly harmonizing with Zhou Qing’s constitution.

"Phew—"

Only now did Zhou Qing feel slightly relieved.

Without further hesitation, he fully activated the "Yin Yang Skills"!

His entire being became like a bottomless pit, madly devouring the essence in the pool!

Meanwhile, the shadow of Taichu Master above the Blood Pool suddenly froze.

"Something’s not right..." He stared intently at the boiling waters, a glimmer of suspicion flashing in his golden vertical pupils.

He had prepared these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for countless years, and the medicinal power was indeed extraordinary.

But the breakthrough speed of this "vessel" was too abnormal—from Divinity Transformation Realm to Late-stage Spirit Severing, it had taken only a few breaths!

"Haste makes waste..." Taichu Master squinted his eyes.

The grand plan for revenge allowed no room for error.

If this physical body had an unstable foundation, how could it support his Demon Saint level Primordial Spirit?

He suddenly bent over, his hands rapidly forming seals, and a beam of golden light shot into the Blood Pool: "Let this saint see, where exactly is the problem..."

...

At this moment, outside the Upside-Down Mountain Range.

Demon Emperor Zi Huang stood in mid-air, his purple robe flapping, surrounded by auras as deep as the sea, his cold gaze sweeping all directions.

Behind him, two other Demon Emperors exuded similarly chilling presences.

The three formed a triangular stance, sealing the entire Upside-Down Mountain Range tightly.

Suddenly—

"Chirp—!"

A sharp screech pierced the sky, breaking through the clouds!

The three Demon Emperors simultaneously looked up, seeing the clouds in the distance roiling.

A streak of golden light cut across the sky like a meteor, reaching the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

Dust billowed, and the ground cracked.

As the dust settled, a soaking wet Golden-winged Roc revealed its form.

Viscous liquid still clung to its feathers, its wings trembling slightly, as though it had just escaped from some kind of confinement.

Most bizarrely, this Golden-winged Roc actually lowered its head slowly in the direction of the Upside-Down Mountain Range.

Its eyes showed profound reverence, as if it were worshiping some supreme existence.

"Hmm?" Zi Huang frowned, a premonition of danger arising in his heart.

"This aura..." The bone-winged Demon Emperor squinted his eyes, "Why does it feel somewhat familiar?"

Zi Huang did not answer, but quickly retrieved an ancient Jade Scroll from his chest.

The Jade Scroll was entirely purple-gold, carved with demonic patterns on the surface—the token bestowed upon him by the Taichu Master.

His Divine Sense swept through it, and the Jade Scroll instantly radiated light, revealing a vivid portrait—

A Golden-winged Roc, wings like blades, eyes like cold lightning, nearly identical to the one before them!

"Not good!" Zi Huang’s pupils contracted sharply, his expression instantly turning as dark as water, "It’s that vessel! Something happened to the Master!"

Before the words even finished, he had transformed into a violet lightning bolt, rushing straight towards the cave of the Upside-Down Mountain Range!
