far superior to that of Huayang Laodao's disciple, and his understanding of Yin-Yang Dao was also deeper. However, he had not yet broken free from the constraints of the first layer of the 《Yin Yang...Li Hou was pierced by the sword light, driven into the ground. His head twisted at an unnatural angle as he breathed his last.

Qin Sang lightly exhaled, her blood and energy surging violently.

Although the fragments of the True Treasure are powerful, their consumption of True Yuan is terrifying, beyond what ordinary people can endure. One wonders how much Wood Spirit Qi it has absorbed. Even the Dao Tree, after being infused with so much, cannot completely resist the shock, and its qi and blood are already showing signs of agitation. In fact, this battle is not easy at all.

The main thing that restricts him is still his spiritual awareness.

To set up such a rigorous sword formation, locking heaven and earth, to trap a demon marquis in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it also requires a high level of divine sense.

As time passed, Li Hou repeatedly attacked the sword formation, constantly analyzing its patterns. Unbeknownst to him, Qin Sang's expression remained unchanged, while his heart pounded with anxiety.

He must keep enough divine consciousness to suppress the Kirin source, otherwise his efforts will be in vain. The remaining divine consciousness can only be carefully calculated and used sparingly.

Not only must one maintain the sword formation and the fire shield, but also reserve strength to cast the Spirit Treasure Four-Headed Serpent Seal at any time, in order to guard against Li Hou's desperate counterattack.

A Nascent Soul Stage expert, erupting with energy at the brink of death, would certainly be an astonishing sight.

Even though Li Hou had two ways to result in both sides being destroyed, Qin Sang was not surprised and remained vigilant.

After receiving the Five Thunder Secret Scroll, his true essence was fully restored. However, before refining the Qilin Source Seed, he still needed to rely more on his physical body…

Qin Sang pondered for a moment, then looked up at the sky.

Though Li Hou has been successfully eliminated, the crisis is far from over. There are still unwanted guests in the vicinity.

His battle with Li Hou ended, but the tremors in the jungle space did not cease. The thunder in the sky continued to rumble, growing ever more intense.

The cyan celestial wall appeared with streaks, stretching across the vast expanse. This was a manifestation of the violent impact that had torn the wall apart.

Through the seeping aura, one could sense that the source of the vibrations wasn't the chaos created by the golden light, but cultivators battling nearby!

Who is the visitor, and who holds the upper hand

Fearing that a long night might bring unforeseen changes, Qin Sang did not delay. He had no intention of capturing Li Hou alive and went all out to eliminate him.

Even without any accidents, the chances of capturing it alive were slim. The corpse of a Nascent Soul Stage demon lord was enough to exchange for the qualification to ascend.

And I have to thank the uninvited guests outside, who showed Li Hou hope of survival. The desire to live overwhelmed him, dispelling his thoughts of dying. His mind was agitated between life and death, which allowed Tianjue's Soul-Stirring Needle to take hold. The fierce poison entered his body without resistance, and he died instantly.

'Boom boom boom...'

The heavenly wall is composed of azure energy masses, and the intense fluctuations from the outside world cause them to churn.

The moment Qin Sang looked at the skywall, a part of it caved inward. It was as if a colossal force from outside had struck down, smashing the sky. Immediately after the collapse, cracks appeared in the indentation.

Through the cracks, Qin Sang saw a familiar petite figure, slammed heavily against the wall, letting out a sharp cry.

"You Huang, the True Person!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Only see You Huang Zhenren feet under stepping a large as silver basin of spiritual flower, the spirit flower grows in countless thick vines in between, vines like snakes, around You Huang Zhenren twist, when hit crack the sky wall, the vine hugged together, protecting You Huang Zhenren inside.

Visible to the naked eye, it was a surge of overwhelmingly powerful gray qi that sent You Huang Zhen Ren flying.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although Youhuang Zhenren wasn't injured, half of her protective vines were broken or withered after that single strike.

Next, the vines deeply pierced into the celestial wall, forcibly stabilizing themselves in the void. You Huang Zhenren didn't dare to hesitate and immediately threw a blue pearl from his hand.

The pearls transformed into long, flowing streamers, swirling in the void. They appeared light and fragile, yet as they danced, there were sounds of wind and thunder. With a forceful strike, they shattered the encroaching gray mist.

Please note that I only translated the content within the > tags and left the HTML tags as they are.

At the same time, a figure flashed and stood in front of Youhuang Zhenren.

This person was clad in armor, their whole body brimming with qi and blood. Standing in mid-air, they were like a towering pillar reaching for the sky, their spirit spear slanted forward.

"Lone Cloud Master, I didn't expect they weren't dispersed..."

At the same time Qin Sang saw through the identities of the two, You Huang Zhenren also caught sight of Qin Sang below. A hint of joy flashed across her tightly stretched face, but it was quickly replaced by a serious expression. Her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something.

>

At that moment, the gray mist was sent flying by the ribbon and rolled back together quickly, finally transforming into a gray orb that fell into the hand of a robust, strong man.

The strong man's eyes were a strange gray-white, his hands with webbed fingers, clearly not human at first glance.

Beside the strong man stood a stunning woman. She wore a jeweled crown and colorful robes. A pure crystal was embedded in her brow, within which five colors of light swirled. Her beauty surpassed even that of Fairy You Huang, yet her almond-shaped eyes held a terrifying glint of murderous intent.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Although both sides had an equal number of participants, You Huang Zhen Ren's side was clearly at a disadvantage.

>

"How far do you think you can run!"

The crowned woman roared, her brow's crystal shining brightly, five beams of spiritual light shooting out.

The brilliance split into five colors, transforming into five dazzling rainbows that emitted an extremely sharp aura, like five spiritual swords, slashing fiercely towards the two real people.

The strongman, unwilling to be outdone, swallowed the gray orb. With a leap, his throat constricted and his mouth ballooned as he sputtered a cloud of breath towards the two immortals.

In an instant, gray clouds formed above the two immortals' heads, and a strange power permeated the void.

The two figures had the sensation of falling into the ocean depths. The surrounding light, even the void itself, seemed to warp and twist. An inexplicable feeling of utter helplessness washed over them.

Gu Yun Zhen stood straight, his spirit spear dividing into thousands of shadow lances before abruptly converging. A single point shot forward, piercing the five-colored rainbow ahead, ignoring the gray clouds above his head.

>

The ribbon, still swirling in mid-air, connected at both ends, twisted and transformed into a glyph shape, shooting high up.

With a deafening boom, the gray clouds trembled violently.

The two masters each preside over a different altar. One cultivates the Dragon and Tiger Altar, while the other cultivates the Golden Seal Altar. They complement each other perfectly and work in perfect harmony.

It's a pity that the opponent's strength is greater than theirs. The muscular man's aura is comparable to theirs, but the woman is actually a demon lord in the middle stage of the Void Profound realm!

At first, the two masters and Qin Sang had the same thoughts as they realized they were separated from their companions. They moved towards this place and met halfway, but unexpectedly, they encountered a formidable enemy.

Fortunately, the two of them joined forces, otherwise they might have perished.

Even so, the two real people were pursued with great difficulty, able only to do their best to evade the enemy and hope that the golden light would fade soon so they could call for help from their companions.

As the pennants were raised, Grandmaster Youhuang remained impassive, dissipating the sky-wall's energy and mending the fissures. He shielded the view below.

And there was a hurried transmission, "Qing Feng Daoist Friend, please quickly adjust your breath, we can still hold on for a while."

Qin Sang had just eliminated Li Hou, and was severely depleted. Before he could recover, even Youhuang Zhenren, across the Heavenly Barrier, could sense that his state was abnormal.

You Huang Zhuren's cultivation level today is certainly not that of someone who only knows how to stir up trouble. To give Qin Sang time to recover and join the battle, so they can hope to repel the enemy.

To everyone's surprise, just as the fissure in the Heavenly Wall closed, Youhuang True Person suddenly heard a tearing sound behind him.

Only two withered giant hands pierced the skywall, gripping the wind and clouds, and forcefully parting them to the sides.

"Wow!"

The skywall tore apart on the spot!

>

The crack stretched for a hundred meters.

The violent fluctuation drew everyone's attention. A giant resembling a tree spirit emerged from the sky, leaping out of thin air and fixing his gaze on the two demon marquesses. His eyes radiated a ferocious aura.

At the same time, they also caught a glimpse of the scene in the jungle.

>

The most eye-catching thing was the deep pit in the center of the jungle. A mud-covered badger lay motionless at the bottom of the pit.

Two demon marquises' faces turned pale.

> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Go away, Marquis!"

The strong man's cheeks puffed out and froze, his face full of shock, unable to believe his own eyes.

Feeling the breath rushing toward him, the burly man shivered and immediately retreated.

The woman with the jeweled crown saw the badger in the pit and recognized it as Li Hou. She was equally incredulous.

The Marquis's cultivation level was comparable to hers. He came here with a heavy responsibility and died here without explanation.

"This person..."

The Empress’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, fixed on Qin Sang. This creature, neither human nor demon, neither man nor woman, clearly possessed less cultivation than Lord Li Hou.

Is this person powerful on their own, or do they have help

The crown princess's heart skipped a beat. She met the strong man's gaze and, without hesitation, turned and walked away.

Qin Sang also stopped and made no pursuit.

He had no further ambition to hunt down the demon marquis. Firstly, his divine sense was limited, and the power of the True Spirit Pill could not last long. Secondly, wielding the spiritwood body prevented him from leaving the forest space, severely restricting his movement.

Using the corpse of Li Hou to frighten the enemy is the best option.

Confirming that the two demon marquises had truly retreated and were not just bluffing, Qin Sang nodded to the two real people and returned to the forest space.

The two venerable masters also flew down and bowed in thanks.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang had already put away his spiritual wood body, revealing his true form, and quickly moved through the jungle, picking up a few treasures.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

All of them were things that came from the hands of a nobleman, fought for their lives during battle. It's a pity that its bone spurs couldn't harm Qin Sang, these could only delay Qin Sang's offensive.

After cleaning the battlefield, Qin Sang flew to the deep pit.

At this time, small trees had already begun to grow near the deep pit, growing at an astonishing rate, quickly becoming a verdant canopy.

The two masters stood in the air above the deep pit, looking at Qin Sang who was busy below, exchanging a look.

You Huang Zhenren pondered for a long time before softly asking, "This... is truly Li Hou"

Qin Sang put away the demon corpse and nodded with a smile: "It was also my good fortune that I encountered Li Hou, who was seriously injured along the way. Speaking of which, I have to thank both of you. You made Li Hou distracted at the last moment, allowing me to take advantage."

"Is that so Congratulations, Qingfeng Daoist..."

The Immortal Lone Cloud chuckled.

He scanned his surroundings. The vegetation here grew at an astonishing pace, erasing most traces of their duel in a short time. It seemed that they hadn't caused much damage after all.

Such a statement, they could still barely accept.

Li Hou rarely appeared on the battlefield, his name was not well-known, but he was also in the middle stage of Dong Xuan, comparable to the female demon who was chasing them.

To say that Qin Sang single-handedly slaughtered all of Li Hou's forces at their peak is simply unacceptable.

However, through Qin Sang's true yuan fluctuations, they judged that Qin Sang had already taken the Dingzhen Pill, which showed that this battle was not easy.

His ability to kill the wounded Li Hou is proof enough of his extraordinary strength.

I don't know how much the two esteemed individuals believed, but I did not continue to press them.

Yuhuang Zhenren said: "Demons and monsters might gather help, this place is not a good place to stay for long! This poor Daoist remembers a safer illusionary realm. We might as well go there to settle down and wait until the golden light fades before contacting some other True Ones. If we can't contact them, we should first leave Guishan's treatment altar and then consider whether to stay or leave."

"Great!"

Qin Sang agreed.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The three of them immediately fled the forest space. With someone to help resist the fluctuations of the illusion, Qin Sang allowed Tianmudie to focus on keeping watch.

All the best!

Finally, the three arrived at a peculiar place.

>

Here it resembles an inverted gray windsock, with visible air currents being drawn into its interior, producing a whistling sound.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"This is the place. A fellow cultivator once accidentally got sucked into the wind pocket and discovered that it's just a space made of wind, nothing dangerous inside. Someone who doesn't know this would definitely be afraid to enter, so it's a perfect hiding spot..."

You Huang, the real person, pointed to Feng Dai and explained.

Then, the three of them searched again, confirming that there was nothing unusual inside the wind bag, so they slipped into the wind bag.

The piercing wind whistled through their ears.

The wind here is just ordinary wind. Though strong, it's nothing to a cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul stage.

And after a brief exchange with the two masters, Qin Sang chose a spot and closed his eyes to meditate.

The two masters looked at Qin Sang who was sitting in meditation, their expressions varied, and they all sat cross-legged to adjust their breath.

The air in the room couldn't be described as tranquil.

Qin Sang kept his mind focused, beginning to review the course of the duel. Soon, however, he immersed himself once more in his cultivation.

Of course, what made him so focused was...

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This place isn't a cultivation ground, but Qin Sang discovered that after his fierce battle with the Marquis of Separation, he gained a deeper understanding of both martial arts and the path of killing, and his gains far exceeded his expectations!

It is far worse than hunting down snapping turtles and water serpents.

"Why is the harvest so big this time"

Qin Sang was also a little puzzled.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Compared, the three were all in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. The difference was that Li Hou was at his peak state and had single-handedly exterminated them.

In this battle, he almost gave it his all.

"...Could it be..."

Qin Sang's heart suddenly enlightened, and he recalled his experience cultivating this technique.

Before the Golden Core stage, one comprehended the ruthlessness of killing from endless slaughter, their murderous intent reaching the heavens. After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, this technique's murderous nature began to decrease, as indiscriminate killing became pointless.

To reach the realm of Nascent Soul, does one need to constantly challenge powerful opponents, honing oneself in life and death struggles, to comprehend the true meaning of the Dao of Slaughter

As this thought flashed through his mind and combined with the scriptures in his martial arts manual, Qin Sang felt he had found the right path.

>

This couldn't help but make Qin Sang frown.

Throughout his cultivation journey, he has always sought stability and rarely takes risks unless it involves a dispute over opportunities. When facing powerful beings who surpass him in realm, he knows his chances are slim and never makes a move.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If you want to comprehend the true meaning of the Dao of killing and enhance your cultivation as quickly as possible, you must constantly challenge those stronger than yourself.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

His way of doing things is contrary to this skill, and how to weigh them in the future requires careful consideration.

At least he wasn't weak among the cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Sang withdrew his thoughts and felt the medicinal power of Dingzhen Dan begin to subside. The true essence started to become chaotic, so he had to suppress it at the late stage of Nascent Soul.

During this period, Youhuang Zhenren repeatedly left Fengdai, releasing talismans. After using up several in succession, he finally received a response!

"It was the Sword-Wielding True Person and the Zhang True Person."

The venerable master Youhuang vanished into the wind and displayed a talisman to the two. "They are together, not far from us," he said. "Let's hurry and meet up with them. There are other fellow cultivators as well."

"Are there still any people here" asked Gu Yun Zhenren.

"The golden light hadn't completely faded. Before I could ask for details, it seemed to be someone from the Daoist sect," Youhuang Zhenren said.

Qin Sang awoke from his meditation and, sensing the inquiries in the eyes of the two real people, pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's go."s. Qin Sang's divine consciousness gradually transformed. Although the extent was not immediately apparent, with the passage of time, she could feel a certain change."With my divine sense refined, I c...
