Chapter 1508: West Demon Child

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Xu Qing left the Immortal Shelter Lake, fluctuations were spreading out from the war teleportation arrays at the edge of the West Demon Feather.

The number of teleportation arrays in this place was considerable, distributed separately, each leading to different regions of the Wangu Continent. They were the gateways of the Demon Feather Holy Land during the wartime.

Hence, this place was usually heavily guarded by the various forces of the West Demon Feather.

At that moment, outside the seventeenth teleportation array, more than a hundred cultivators from the Seventeenth Ruler Mountain were waiting respectfully.

The person in the lead was a boy in a Daoist robe.

They didn’t say a word and were all staring at the seventeenth formation that was emitting fluctuations.

The array formation gradually rumbled with intense teleportation energy. Finally, a resplendent light appeared. After enveloping the entire range of the array formation, a tall figure gradually formed in this light.

Even though it was only an outline, the murderous bloody aura from this person spread out first, causing the hearts of everyone waiting here to tremble.

Vaguely, it was as though they could smell the stench of blood.

Awhile later, as the light on the array formation gradually dissipated, the figure inside became increasingly clear. Finally, when the light completely disappeared, what was revealed in front of everyone was a youth in black armor.

There were two shocking scars on his face that formed the shape of a cross. The flesh was turned outward, looking extremely terrifying.

With such a scar, he should clearly be ugly. However, it formed a unique feeling on this youth’s face, adding a dense killing intent.

In contrast to his flowing red hair, it seemed to become the source of the bloody aura.

As for the armor he wore, it was covered with numerous traces of battle, indicating that he had experienced countless fights.

The moment he appeared, outside the array, the people from the Seventeenth Ruler Mountain, led by that young boy, immediately knelt before him.

“Greetings, Your Highness!”

This person was the third disciple of the Seventeenth Ruler.

Although he was ranked third, this didn’t represent strength or potential. In reality, not only was his reputation astonishing on the Seventeenth Ruler Mountain, but it was the same for the entire West Demon Feather.

Even within the East Demon Feather, his name was illustrious.

West Demon Child!

The reason for this was because his aptitude had once been praised by the Demon Feather Great Emperor.

When he was at the Nihility Realm, he could fight against early-stage Soul Accumulation. After he broke through and stepped into the Soul Accumulation Realm, he even obtained authority. He was the second person in the past thousand years in the West Demon Feather to obtain authority in the Soul Accumulation Realm.

Moreover, his authority was both special and terrifying.

It was focused on killing!

With his current cultivation of the Soul Accumulation Seven Worlds, his strength was above the Soul Accumulation Nine Worlds. In fact, when he erupted with all his might, he could display power close to that of a Ruler.

On the human race’s battlefield, with his strength, he had achieved monstrous battle merits. In fact, on the human race’s kill list, he was ranked along with the other three heaven’s chosen, second only to the Rulers.

He had originally stayed on the battlefield until he received a secret letter from his fellow disciples.

Hence, he chose to return.

At that moment, as the smell of blood spread and the murderous intent spread, West Demon Child’s expression was cold. He stepped out of the array formation and stood in front of the kneeling people.

“Where is he now?”

West Demon Child calmly spoke.

His arrival caused the hearts of most of the kneeling cultivators to tremble. As fellow cultivators, they were very clear that this person had a hobby of killing that bordered on paranoia.

Cruelty was his nature.

However, he was also a great heaven’s chosen who was the center of attention in the entire Demon Feather holy land. He was recognized by the Demon Feather Great Emperor and his master was a Ruler. Such a person might not be able to blot out the sky with one hand but he was about the same.

Hence, their heads lowered even more.

Even the boy in the lead, an attendant of the Great Emperor, didn’t dare to be negligent at all. He respectfully told him everything he knew.

“That Xue Chenzi headed to the Immortal Shelter Lake and left four hours later. He headed east and stopped at the Eastern Sky Mountain.”

West Demon Child nodded. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he took a step forward and appeared in the sky, locking onto a direction. With a wave of his hand, a large number of black clouds enveloped five hundred kilometers and swept his figure into the distance.

Wherever he passed, the world rumbled. In the black clouds, he was like a heavenly demon.

He returned this time for… Xue Chenzi.

After knowing that Xue Chenzi had challenged his mountain but no one could do anything to him, West Demon Child planned to remove his head and place it where the other party had sat.

As for killing from the same race and fighting between the east and west, it didn’t matter to West Demon Child.

While West Demon Son was heading straight for Eastern Sky Mountain, Xu Qing had indeed stopped here.

He had already finished everything he had to do in the West Demon Feather.

The Empress successfully met the Demon Feather Great Emperor, so he didn’t need to continue the challenge.

Xu Qing’s trip to the Immortal Arts Hall was also filled with gains.

What he needed to do now was to wait for the meeting between the Empress and the Demon Feather Great Emperor to end before leaving the West Demon Feather with the Empress.

“After returning to the East Demon Feather, it will be almost time for the opening of the seclusion place of the Great Emperor Nether Flame.”

Xu Qing pondered. On the way here with the Empress, he had been thinking about the Empress’ motive.

The most obvious goal was Great Emperor Nether Flame.

However, it was obvious that the goal definitely contained many details and secrets. Xu Qing lacked key information and couldn’t analyze too much at this moment.

However, he remembered one thing. In the seclusion place of Great Emperor Nether Flame, there was an opportunity that could increase his cultivation greatly.

“There’s also Yue Dong’s previous plan…”

“I wonder how Eldest Senior Brother’s harvest is now. I think he should have many benefits in the Immortal Arts Hall of the East Demon Feather.”

Xu Qing’s thoughts flowed. After that, he put everything away and stopped thinking about this. Instead, he focused on the things he needed to study.

Firstly, it was the wish mask.

Xu Qing had studied this mask many times when he was free during this period. However, he restrained himself every time and didn’t make a wish. However, through his research, he roughly judged something.

“The wish of this item should be a type of divine authority!”

“Moreover, its level is so high that it is quite terrifying…”

“Therefore, I can use it as my trump card, and it’s better to not make a wish unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

“As for the white dust, it has formed a little more during this period, but the amount isn’t enough…”

Xu Qing sensed his fate divine authority.

“The activation of this divine authority doesn’t necessarily have to be monotonous. In reality, there are many ways. Whether by enveloping it with my own soul or enhancing it with divine abilities, various approaches can be tried.”

“As for the ability to carve fate, there’s a backlash.”

“The fate engraved will replace the original trajectory. In that case, the obstacles encountered during this period will have to be endured by me.”

Xu Qing raised his right hand and the carving knife formed by the divine authority of fate appeared in his palm. He stared at it for a long time before putting it away. After that, he closed his eyes and sensed his back.

Over there, there was a set of totem patterns.

The extinguished red candle.

Xu Qing’s expression turned a little gloomy as he sensed this totem.

The imprinting action of this item in the World Source Secret Realm wasn’t under his control. In fact, he wasn’t very sure why it became like this.

Perhaps it was because of the candle itself. After all, it had its own consciousness.

Or maybe it was because of the uniqueness of his body.

However, no matter what, Xu Qing didn’t like this totem. In his opinion, this totem represented hidden dangers.

Although it had been in the state of being extinguished, Xu Qing could faintly sense that there was an aura of recovery forming in this red candle.

When he thought of the terrifying power contained in the flames of the red candle, a dark glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes.

“I won’t let you revive in an uncontrollable state and reignite the flame.”

Xu Qing let out a cold snort inwardly. The erase authority in his eyes flickered and spread to his back, enveloping the candlewick.

As he wiped away the divine authority again and again, the aura of recovery gradually weakened but it didn’t completely disappear. Hence, Xu Qing called out to Little Shadow.

“Swallow it!”

Xu Qing ordered.

Little Shadow was unwilling but it didn’t dare to refuse. Hence, it braced itself and rushed over. After enveloping the candle, it devoured it in large mouthfuls.

Little Shadow’s specialness caused its actions to have a good effect. The candle’s aura of recovery was clearly weaker.

Just like that, time flowed by and dusk arrived.

As the afterglow of the setting sun scattered down from the horizon, with the many eruptions of the erase authority and the cooperation with Little Shadow, it finally caused the aura of recovery to become almost undetectable.

“Although it’s still there, it can be controlled.”

After Xu Qing used his perception, he left a sealing technique on it. After that, he was about to study the Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal Art while waiting for the Empress.

However, at this moment, a sense of palpitations suddenly rose in Xu Qing’s mind.

His eyes narrowed and his body instantly turned blurry as he retreated.

At the same time, the sky rumbled like thunder and the afterglow of the setting sun shattered.

The surroundings instantly distorted.

A pitch-black spear that could destroy the world broke through the sky and the void, heading straight for Xu Qing from the sky.

The spear was extremely long and the spearhead was as terrifying as a mountain peak.

With the might of destruction, it carried the momentum of overturning the sea and instantly arrived in front of Xu Qing.

At this critical moment, Xu Qing’s speed erupted to the extreme as he quickly dodged.

This spear swept past him. With it passing by so close, Xu Qing’s heart trembled and he felt an intense threat. This strike was already infinitely close to the Ruler realm.

At the same time that he dodged, the spear directly blasted onto the Eastern Sky Mountain.

The spear landed and the Eastern Sky collapsed!

The mountain shattered into pieces.

The black spear directly penetrated and stabbed diagonally into the ground.

The huge spearhead penetrated deep into the ground, and the long spear’s body buzzed and swayed.

The land for 5,000 kilometers instantly shattered and caved in. Black flames erupted from the point of the spearhead and rose along the cracks on the ground.

It turned this area of 5,000 kilometers into a sea of fire.

Countless souls appeared in the sea of fire and wailed.

Those souls were all human cultivators. They had clearly been killed by this spear on the battlefield and their souls couldn’t enter the cycle of reincarnation. They were bound and became a part of the spear’s might.

On the handle of the long spear that was slanted toward the sky, a demonic figure stood.

His long red hair fluttered in the wind, his black armor was sinister, and the phantom of a heavenly demon appeared behind him. This phantom was majestic and occupied half of the sky, looking down at Xu Qing.

“You are Xue Chenzi?”
