Chapter 118 Hands Stained with Royal Blood

At the bottom of the deep pit, Qin Ming walked more and more steadily, completely withdrawing his thoughts from the near-immortal objects and the metal paper, and calming down completely.

Those things were still far removed from him, had little to do with him, and all belonged to the core lineage of the outer realms. He reminded himself not to get carried away, but to keep his feet on the ground and move forward steadily.

Just a few months ago, he was hunting in the mountains when he nearly died from a strange illness. He endured hunger and struggled to survive.

As for everything in the Cui family, it was nothing but a pipe dream, not to be taken seriously. After embarking on the path of rebirth, he continuously improved his physique and finally broke free from his predicament.

Qin Ming felt that practicing the Heavenly Light Force was his way out, and if he continued to integrate it, he would eventually succeed.

Chen Shuhang and Jiang Congyun fled all the way, not daring to take the same route, unwilling to encounter He Tai, who had the air of a young grandmaster, and the successor of the Five Elements Palace.

After being severely injured by Qin Ming, the two were in very poor condition and worried that on their way back, a master who practiced special techniques would notice their weakness. If someone wanted to harm them, their chances of survival would be slim.

Moreover, Jiang Congyun and Chen Shuhang felt that their experience at the bottom of the pit was disgraceful and did not want to mention it to those people.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, was walking back along the original route at a leisurely pace, because this was part of his plan; he wanted to stir up the whole situation.

He could not secretly take the near-celestial artifact away, because it was too extraordinary. Along the way, it was shrouded in auspicious light, illuminating the surrounding mist with vibrant colors.

If he doesn’t return along the pre-arranged route, he’ll likely be accused of trying to abscond with something close to immortality, which would provoke an attack from the disciples outside the mortal realm.

Qin Ming pondered, “Since that’s the case, I’ll use the Eight Trigrams Furnace as bait to lure all the disciples into the fray and let them engage in a chaotic battle.”

Since no one knows that Li Qingyue has returned yet, she can wait patiently as the fierce and cruel competition draws to a close.

Qin Ming’s only concern was whether a disciple of the Fangwai Sect could activate the Bagua Furnace and unleash its mysterious power if he were to obtain it temporarily.

He felt he should be cautious and perhaps secretly capture a disciple from outside the secular world to test the waters. He had been in the forbidden area for quite some time, and the pure yang blood on his armor was almost completely evaporated.

At the bottom of the giant pit, violent, colorful mist flowed, resembling a vast expanse of raging, tumultuous fire. Even though Qin Ming felt a burning sensation in his mouth and nose with every breath, accompanied by waves of searing pain, he still felt intense discomfort.

If any other newcomer were to enter, their lungs would be burned through in mere moments, incinerated from the inside out, turning them to ashes. “Huh, they’re out!”

“He really obtained something that’s almost divine!”

The three masters guarding the edge of the bottom of the deep pit saw a hazy figure approaching from afar in the colorful mist, and even noticed that the item in the figure’s hand was surrounded by divine light.

He Tai was a young master invited by the Zheng family. His lineage was extremely extraordinary. He practiced the Great Ape King Strength, and his ancestor once dared to confront the Buddha of that era.

He stared at the figure in the misty sky, a strange look on his face, and said, “Chen Shuhang and Jiang Congyun are gone, only the successor of the Six Imperial Forces remains.”

“He has no connection with the Six Emperors lineage.” Chen Xingyuan said calmly. He came from the legendary Five Elements Palace and his strength was unfathomable.

Li Tianhe, a disciple of the Yuqing lineage, simply hummed in agreement.

Chen Xingyuan, a disciple of the Five Elements Palace, added calmly, “He is also unrelated to the lineage of Buddha.”

There was no one else here except for the three of them, all of whom were of great importance and whose Heavenly Light Force was the most unique and powerful.

Qin Ming pierced through the dense sunlight and was not far from them. All three of them were drawn to the near-immortal object that, despite its severe damage, still shone with dazzling light.

“You had a conflict with Jiang Congyun and Chen Shuhang?” He Tai asked.

Qin Ming looked at him without saying a word. Was he looking for trouble?

Chen Xingyuan and Li Tianhe remained silent, watching calmly.

“You were far too ruthless, leaving them both in a desperate situation?” He Tai spoke again. Qin Ming retorted, “What do you mean? Do you think I killed them? Don’t throw mud at me.”

“There’s no best, after all, we’re all walking the same path, it’s not easy.” He Tai nodded, then smiled and reached out to take the dazzling Eight Trigrams Furnace. Qin Ming walked forward, approaching the edge of the giant pit, and handed the Eight Trigrams Furnace over.

He Tai smiled, grabbing the edge of the furnace with one hand while his other hand suddenly unleashed the Great Ape King Force, blasting towards Qin Ming. The Great Ape King Force was incredibly violent, both masculine and domineering, as if a giant ape devouring the sky had appeared there, amidst the vast expanse of heavenly light. Qin Ming couldn’t possibly be hit by it, so he activated his wind force, creating a gale to evade the fierce heavenly light.

However, the pure yang blood in his body dissipated. There wasn’t much left to begin with, and with He Tai’s sudden attack, it was all evaporated.

Clearly, He Tai’s aim was to dissipate the remaining pure yang blood on his armor.

Normally, newcomers entering places with abundant sunlight are absolutely risking their lives.

Qin Ming had just walked out alive when He Tai pulled this stunt, shattering his pure Yang blood, clearly with a strong sense of malice.

However, He Tai was also taken aback. He had already grabbed the edge of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, so why hadn’t he managed to snatch it? He had actually failed.

Qin Ming remained indifferent, having already discerned that this man harbored no goodwill. Even if he intended to stage a scene and incite chaos, he would not use this man to ignite it.

Just now, his sticky force was activated, and no matter how hard Tai tried to grab him, it was in vain. “Do I have a grudge against you?” Qin Ming asked, while trying to climb up the slope.

With a whoosh, the three masters moved simultaneously, as fast as lightning, blocking his path.

“You killed Jiang Congyun and Chen Shuhang, your hands are stained with blood. We couldn’t stand it and wanted to avenge them,” He Tai said indifferently.

Qin Ming looked at the three of them and said, “Are you all so hypocritical? Why pretend at this point? You’re probably after something that’s close to immortality, aren’t you?” Chen Xingyuan, the successor of the Five Elements Palace, nodded and said, “That’s right. The Eight Trigrams Furnace of Mount Luofu was so famous a thousand years ago that it involved near-immortal creatures and god-like beings deep in the Night Mist World. We want to study it carefully.”

Qin Ming didn’t know how to comment. A group of disciples from the secluded sects formed alliances and used every trick in the book, but even the people they invited to help had their own agendas.

When Qin Ming first met He Tai, the man was very low-key and humble, but now his true nature has been revealed. Qin Ming shook his head and sighed softly.

He then feigned a breakout, rushing towards the slope, only to be ambushed by three top experts who tried to force him into a desperate situation, where he would be scorched by the sunlight. Qin Ming’s killing intent surfaced. He had previously been very restrained, letting Chen Shuhang and Jiang Congyun go, but now he had no intention of forgiving the man before him. He exchanged blows with He Tai, not to immediately determine who was superior or to fight to the death, but to unleash his sticky force, drawing the successor of the Great Ape King’s Force, pulling him along to the bottom of the giant pit, where the sunlight was dense.

He Tai was shocked. This person’s external brilliance was limited. How could he have dragged him into a deadly situation?

His expression turned cold. He was protected by pure yang blood, while his opponent had lost his support and was no longer protected by spiritual blood. He certainly couldn’t stay here for long.

He Tai unleashed his Great Ape King Force in full force, and behind him, a giant black ape seemed to rise up, roaring as if to tear through the night and reveal the light of day once more.

It must be said that his Heavenly Light Force was truly extraordinary. No wonder his ancestor dared to challenge the Buddha back then, and such a strange sight accompanied it.

Qin Ming unleashed his Earth Fist, instantly shattering the fierce and domineering Heavenly Light. Then, he spat out his Golden Silkworm Force, which, even though it was only three inches away from the body, pierced the man’s fist, causing him to bleed profusely.

He Tai was indeed extraordinary. The Heavenly Light Force flowed rapidly around his body, causing violent vibrations. He only had slight bleeding on his skin and his bones were not injured.

Outside his body, the light of the heavens surged and vibrated, already nearly a meter thick, proving that his strength indeed surpassed that of Jiang Congyun and Chen Shuhang.

But he was very surprised. Just who was the other party? The three-inch-thick beam of light could actually shake his beam of light that was nearly a meter wide. This was truly unbelievable.

He achieved early success and was praised by many, who believed that he possessed the qualities of a young master in the field of boxing. This was truly incredible.

He achieved early success and was praised by many, who believed that he had the potential to become a young master in the field of boxing. He has always been quite confident, and now he is going all out.

Qin Ming’s fist erupted with fiery energy, surrounded by a layer of flames, tearing through the opponent’s fist force like a wildfire, actually igniting part of the opponent’s heavenly light.

“What?!” He Tai was shocked. He activated the Great Ape King Force with all his might, instantly extinguishing the fiery light.

Qin Ming moved closer and made physical contact with him again. This time, the sticky force was pushed to the limit, and he pulled over the other’s layer of pure yang blood essence, which was red and crystal clear.

The next moment, Qin Ming attached them all to his armor.

“You…” He Tai’s expression changed. He had lost his protection and dared not stay in this place for long. He was about to break out.

Because he already felt unbearably hot, as if he were being consumed by the sunlight.

“Where do you think you’re going? You’ll get to taste this flavor yourself!” Qin Ming blocked his way, preventing him from leaving.

He Tai’s eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly stopped. He knew there was no way to resolve this peacefully. The more he tried to escape, the harder it would be to break free. At this moment, he had no choice but to fight back.

“Let me show you the true Great Ape King Technique!” he said coldly, his heart surprisingly calm. Enduring the scorching pain from the bright sunlight, he charged towards Qin Ming.

He unleashed the Great Ape King Fist, renowned throughout the Night Fog World, which was truly extraordinary, managing to hold its own against Qin Ming.

His Heavenly Light Force was very special, extremely domineering and masculine, and temporarily withstood Qin Ming’s fist light.

“roar!”

He Tai roared, and the raging ape behind him reappeared, shaking along with him and stirring up endless heavenly light, as if it could uproot mountains and split…

The power of Heaven.

With a loud bang, his Heavenly Light Force easily tore apart some rocks several meters high at the bottom of the giant pit.

He Tai stomped his foot hard, and the crystallized ground cracked open, with many cracks as wide as half a foot.

He seemed to transform into a true great ape king, growing stronger with each battle, stirring up the colorful sky and mist, as if striking with the power of heaven and earth.

With each punch he threw, terrifying celestial light surged forth, lifting many stones into the air, where they floated and flew forward with his fist, creating an astonishing spectacle.

Qin Ming became serious and prepared to face his enemy. He did not want to delay any longer. He used the silk calligraphy to control all the scriptures, and the three great skills and eighteen kinds of power techniques vibrated and roared continuously.

His entire body radiated a divine aura as he unleashed a powerful right punch, embodying the grandeur and superb skill of a master!

He Tai’s expression changed. Others praised him as a future grandmaster, but he wasn’t arrogant. He knew he was far from that level, and even if he had a few glimpses of its essence, he wasn’t quite there yet. But seeing the opponent’s fist light and that posture, he felt provoked.

Because he felt that this person truly possessed the demeanor of a young master.

He Tai roared and unleashed his full power. The black ape king phantom behind him merged with him, and then, as he swung his fist, it shook the bottom of the giant pit.

With a loud bang, their fists collided.

Qin Ming pierced through the nearly meter-thick beam of light, shattering the Great Ape King’s power. Blood splattered everywhere, and He Tai’s fist deformed, the sound of bones breaking clearly audible.

“What future grandmaster, what young martial arts expert? They’re far from it!” Qin Ming commented.

He Tai staggered backward, his body eroded by the light and mist of the sky, and his broken finger bone caused him immense pain. He unleashed another terrifying burst of fist light, blasting forward.

This time, Qin Ming didn’t fight him head-on. He had already weighed the options and defeated his opponent, so he lost interest and directly swung the Bagua Furnace in his hand forward.

He Tai’s pupils contracted as he realized that his opponent’s left hand seemed to have barely moved, which was why they had been fighting for so long? He felt a sense of defeat.

In order to survive, he did not hesitate to damage his own source, unleashing even greater power. The Great Ape King became clearer behind him and pounced out, leaping over his body and heading towards Qin Ming.

Qin Ming swung the Eight Trigrams Furnace and smashed it down, shattering the ferocious and enormous black giant ape phantom with a loud boom.

“Ah…” He Tai cried out in pain, as if his vital energy had left his body and was now being defeated, leaving him in a state of madness.

Qin Ming’s expression was solemn. The Great Ape King Technique was indeed powerful and extraordinary. Just now, a giant ape actually pounced out, which was beyond the scope of normal techniques.

He realized that this skill was actually very powerful, but He Tai hadn’t mastered it properly! He Tai went berserk and charged forward.

Qin Ming swung the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and with a bang, smashed half of He Tai’s body to pieces. He Tai’s mutilated body fell into a pool of blood, screaming in agony.

He was quickly ignited by the celestial light that had already entered his body, and rapidly burned to ashes. A young master had met a tragic end!

The commotion here was so great that it naturally alerted the disciples outside the mortal realm at the edge of the giant pit, and many of them saw celestial light blooming below.

“The object that is close to the immortals has been taken out!” someone shouted.

Some of the disciples from outside the sect, their bodies imbued with pure Yang blood, swiftly swooped down.

“The curtain has been raised.” Qin Ming murmured, holding the near-immortal object, standing quietly at the bottom of the giant pit.
