In the forbidden land of the Demon Flood Dragon Race’s Dragon Transformation Pool.

In Qin Ming’s Demon Infant’s hand, three Tier Four Demon Pills appeared, while in the Dragon Transformation Pool floated three bloody flood dragon corpses.

The saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.

Xuan Ce and the others were receiving magical blood infusion in the Dragon Transformation Pool, and at this critical moment, Qin Ming’s Demon Infant killed all three of them with ease.

Then he reached into the blood pool and stored away the three flood dragon corpses.

Crown Prince Xuan Ce’s eyes widened, unable to comprehend why Demon Monarch Qishang suddenly attacked them.

"Three corpses of Tier Four Great Demons... enough for my main body to cultivate the land. It’s about time to retreat, greediness leads to failure."

"This Crown Prince Xuan Ce also possesses the True Spirit Bloodline of the Ancient Dragon Race, maybe it can further enhance my body refining cultivation."

Qin Ming’s Divine Thought naturally sensed the situation outside.

If there was only one Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, he felt confident he could handle it with ease.

But to his surprise, the Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator Master Ice Profound from the Northern Cold Cultivation Realm also arrived, even someone like him had to avoid the confrontation temporarily.

However, Qin Ming’s Demon Infant showed no trace of panic.

His main body in the Human Realm possesses a "Nine Heavens Cyan Yuan Marvelous Response True Talisman," enabling cross-realm escape at any time.

Even against a Venerable Divinity Transformation, if they don’t restrain him immediately, he remains untouchable.

"Demon Monarch Qishang!!"

"Why are you doing this?!"

With a roar, the shadow of Demon Flood Dragon Gen Chi suddenly appeared, glaring at the empty scene within the Dragon Transformation Pool, questioning ’Demon Monarch Qishang’ with rage.

He could sense that Xuan Ce and the others must have fallen.

Immediately, the formidable cultivation of the Tier Four Mid-Stage Demon Saint was fully displayed.

"Heh heh! Fellow Daoist Gen Chi, you’ve come to me willingly; don’t blame me for it." Demon Monarch Qishang sneered at him.

Afterward.

A ripple of void oscillation emerged from a foot of void in front of him.

In Demon Flood Dragon Gen Chi’s astonished gaze.

A plain-looking young man appeared out of nowhere, holding a simple yellow ancient talisman emitting a gentle light.

Demon Flood Dragon Gen Chi completely failed to understand how this human race Nascent Soul achieved this.

"You... you are..."

But before he could react, he found himself pulled into a boundless blood sea.

In an instant, Demon Flood Dragon Gen Chi felt a mysterious suppressive force pressing down on him, forcefully reducing his cultivation to Early-stage Tier Four.

Roar!

Gen Chi transformed into a hundred-zhang demon flood dragon, with black scales gleaming with demon light, recklessly charging forward, intending to break the Blood Massacre Spiritual Treasure’s seal.

The next moment.

In Qin Ming’s hand appeared an ancient copper mirror.

This mirror’s appearance froze Demon Flood Dragon Gen Chi’s expression, sensing an impending catastrophe.

"Still four hundred years of lifespan left? You really are a long-lived old loach..."

The gleam of green flashed in Qin Ming’s eyes as he used the Yin Yang Profound Mirror’s Divine Technique to swiftly observe the remaining vitality and lifespan of Demon Flood Dragon Gen Chi.

Then Qin Ming wasted no time, directly activating the Hook Jade Golden Light Mirror, shining a beam of light towards him.

Swish!

Immediately, a golden divine flame transformed into a golden light, bypassing all defensive techniques and landing directly on Demon Flood Dragon Gen Chi.

In a flash, this Tier Four Mid-Stage demon flood dragon aged hundreds of years within seconds.

"This... my lifespan... how is this possible..."

Demon Flood Dragon Gen Chi’s face quickly turned gaunt; the demon flood dragon, which dominated the Blood Realm for millennia, exhausted its vitality, and its massive flood dragon corpse fell weakly from the air.

Everything happened swiftly.

Qin Ming immediately reached out and stored the corpse into the Little Spirit Realm.

This Tier Four Mid-Stage demon flood dragon from the Blood Realm had strength comparable to the Demon Saint Gushan, and if truly fought, it’s a fifty-fifty battle against Qin Ming’s Demon Infant.

Outside the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, two Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators still glaringly await, thus Qin Ming had to resort to this quick solution.

As he delved deeper into the "Cyan Emperor Technique," with the same realm lifespan exchange ratio reaching one to three, this time using the Hook Jade Golden Light Mirror to instantly kill Demon Flood Dragon Gen Chi cost him one hundred twenty years of lifespan.

But against his long lifespan of over four thousand years now, it’s a minor expenditure.

If it were a human race cultivator, they certainly wouldn’t have such abundant lifespan, yet the Demon Flood Dragon Race’s lifespan is lengthy, leaving them ample remaining life.

If the opponent still had a few thousand years remaining, Qin Ming wouldn’t have hesitated to retreat promptly.

"Let’s go." Having done all this, Qin Ming uttered to his Demon Infant.

Demon Monarch Qishang gave an enigmatic smile, "Okay."

Afterwards.

Qin Ming also placed the Demon Infant into the Little Spirit Realm.

Then he took out a small piece of the Profound Mysterious Stone and once again activated the ’Nine Heavens Cyan Yuan Marvelous Response True Talisman’.

The next moment, a beam of golden light emerged from the ancient talisman, enveloping his entire body. The radiance suddenly flashed and instantly vanished without a trace.

It was as if he had never appeared from the beginning.

...

On the spiritual ships of the Star Palace and Ice God Hall.

Master Ice Profound frowned, his powerful Divine Thought spreading out, scanning the entire territory of the Demon Flood Dragon Race with a somewhat icy tone:

"Why did that Tier Four Mid-Stage Demon Flood Dragon suddenly disappear?"

"And Demon Monarch Qishang from the Blood Refining Demon Sect too..."

"This Demon Monarch Qishang is indeed interesting. He actually managed to slip away right under our noses without being noticed, likely using the Demonic Instant Teleportation Technique, to escape such a great distance with just his body."

"Even I did not detect it..."

True Monarch Canghe looked down below, pondering for a moment before saying, "Fellow Daoist Ice Profound, this Demon Monarch Qishang from the Blood Refining Demon Sect is not like those ordinary Demonic Nascent Soul cultivators."

"He is second in strength and realm only to Celestial Hatred Old Demon in the Blood Refining Demon Sect, not easy to handle."

"You must have heard of the strength of Celestial Hatred Old Demon, Fellow Daoist Ice Profound."

True Monarch Canghe did not seem to shy away from admitting that he had once been defeated by Demon Monarch Qishang.

Master Ice Profound’s eyes flickered, nodding as he said, "Hmm, even Fellow Daoist Canghe suffered a great loss at his hands, I can easily imagine."

"So, what next? How should things be divided?"

True Monarch Canghe said, "Each of us will take what we need. I need the Star Iron ore veins within the Demon Flood Dragon Race."

"And those few Tier Four Demon Flood Dragons will be left to Fellow Daoist Ice Profound."

Master Ice Profound said with a blank expression, "That is very well."

However, as they delved deeper into the slaughter across the territory of the Demon Flood Dragon Race, when they reached the edge of the Dragon Transformation Pool,

Master Ice Profound and True Monarch Canghe were completely stunned; there was no trace of Crown Prince Xuan Ce’s few flood dragons here...

"Could it be that Demon Monarch Qishang also targeted the Demon Flood Dragon Race, snatching them away ahead of us?"

...

Elsewhere.

Qin Ming had already placed Demon Monarch Qishang in an unnamed area of the Blood Realm.

"You continue to stay undercover in the Blood Refining Demon Sect."

"Thank you for your hard work; you can also raid the Demon Sect’s treasure trove."

Qin Ming said to his Demon Infant, while handing over the essence blood of the Demon Flood Dragon Gen Chi to the Demon Infant.

"Yours is mine as well, no need to stand on ceremony." Demon Monarch Qishang said with a mischievous smile, taking the demon flood dragon essence blood. Then, demonic qi surged around him, transforming into a black, startling rainbow that disappeared from that spot.

Heading back in the direction of the Blood Refining Demon Sect.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming once again used up the last of the Profound Mysterious Stone. With golden light flashing from the ancient talisman, he vanished once more.

...

Inside Vast Sea Immortal City, the atmosphere remained full of joy and celebration.

Qin Ming found an excuse to leave the banquet and, in just a brief moment, completed a series of actions.

He made a trip between the Human Realm and the Blood Realm.

"Old Ghost Qingyang, this ancient talisman is indeed incredibly wondrous, truly capable of crossing realms." Qin Ming marveled at the talisman’s marvelous use, secretly asking Old Demon Qingyang, "Does that mean when I cultivate to the Divinity Transformation period, I can use this talisman to freely ascend to the Spirit Realm?"

Old Demon Qingyang, hanging on the Star Sea Divine Vine, covered his mouth at these words and let out a long yawn: "Hoah~"

"Young Qin Ming, you truly are overthinking this. This Nine Heavens Cyan Yuan Marvelous Response True Talisman, although a treasure of monitoring under the Spirit Realm, is limited to traversals between small interfaces like the Human Realm and the Blood Realm, where interface intersections even exist, hence its success."

"If one wishes to traverse a major interface to the Spirit Realm, Demon Realm, or Underworld like such great interfaces, then a true ’Realm-Breaking Talisman’ is necessary."

"But such heaven-defying items, I have only ever heard of them. Whether they truly exist in this world is unknown to me."

"Even if they do exist, they are likely beyond the reach of cultivators at the Divinity Transformation period..."

After listening to Old Demon Qingyang’s explanation, Qin Ming had a grasp of the situation, nodding thoughtfully.

"So that’s how it is."

His ambitions weren’t too large; having this talisman for traveling between small realms was sufficient for the moment.

Furthermore, he gained significant rewards this time.

In one round trip, he directly captured four flood dragon great demons, and their storage pouches must contain quite a treasure trove as well.
