Chapter 456: The Demon God Appears, and We've Screwed Up

Senior, help me!

Seeing demonic cultivators and demons attacking together, He Zhen knew he couldn't win and shouted desperately in his heart.

He could find this place only thanks to a severed finger he had obtained by chance at an ancient road node.

That severed finger couldn't even be scratched by a fifth‑grade weapon.

Inside it lurked a will.

It was this will that informed He Zhen of the demon god's reincarnation.

Only then did He Zhen bring the He clan members here.

"Hold them off, I'll be right back."

After the will sounded, it shot violently out of He Zhen's body, straight toward the dark abyss beneath the Fang Tower.

He Zhen's face darkened.

When they came, the will had spoken well, but now it abandoned him and left.

"Don't even think about taking the demon fetus!"

He would not surrender meekly.

After a fierce shout, He Zhen shielded He Huan behind him, flung several talismans, and defended with all his might.

"You alone think you can stop us?"

Demonic cultivators and demons attacked together.

With a joint strike, they shattered the talismans He Zhen had sacrificed.

"Pfft!"

He Zhen was struck so hard he vomited blood.

He Zhen had only just broken through to the Six Realms, and after great effort he had managed to obtain only a few sixth‑grade talismans.

How could he withstand the combined attack of so many Six‑Realm experts?

"Die!"

"My soul banner just happens to be lacking a master soul!"

A Six‑Realm demonic cultivator waved his demon banner, intending to make He Zhen the master soul of the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Boom!"

But at that moment, with the space trembling, three huge dharma manifestations almost simultaneously appeared, shaking this special space.

"Swish swish swish!"

Moreover, flying swords ran rampant, piercing several demonic cultivators in the blink of an eye.

"Seven Realms!"

"Impossible, how could a Seven‑Realm expert get in here?!"

"Not good!"

Everyone's faces changed drastically.

"Who said Seven‑Realm experts can't come in?"

Ning Qianqian said with a smile.

Here, ordinary Seven‑Realm experts indeed cannot enter.

Ning Qianqian relies on those five cloaks and specially treated blood.

The Ning clan is a senator family.

The Ning clan's senators are even the Moon Lords of the moon.

The treasures possessed by the Ning clan are beyond imagination.

To some extent, the Fu clan's resources are not as abundant as the Ning clan's.

After awakening in his previous life, Fu Tianze could be called heartless and unjust, yet he did not overly look after the Fu clan.

"Qianqian, cut the chatter—this place makes me uneasy; settle it quickly and get out."

As Lu Xueqi spoke, she raised her hand and released a rope.

After the rope appeared, it moved like a snake, swimming toward a demonic cultivator who had obtained a demon fetus.

In the blink of an eye it reached the cultivator's side, and with a twist it bound the struggling cultivator.

That cultivator's strength was likewise raised to the Five Realms by a blood‑red light pillar.

Yet against the rope, he had no strength left to resist.

After binding the cultivator, the rope moved again, swimming toward a demon.

"Chief, save me!"

That demon frantically retreated.

But the rope came too fast; he could not dodge.

"Courting death!"

A demon's aura suddenly surged, and behind him appeared a huge demonic phantom.

This is the demon race's dharma manifestation, but not every demon possesses such a method.

The demon race's Seven Realms differ from the martial cultivators' Seven Realms.

Demons who possess a demonic manifestation are often humanoid demons; they obtained the method by which humans condense heavenly‑earthly dharma manifestations through demonic cultivation, learned it, and thus condensed their own demonic manifestation.

"Leave it to me!"

"First, seize them!"

Even a demon‑race Seven‑Realm expert's attack would be useless.

Ning Qianqian and the other three Seven‑Realm experts all moved.

Among the five Seven Realms, there were two Immortal Cultivators and three Martial Cultivators.

Here, Lu Xueqi was even a Dharma Body Dual Cultivator, with formidable combat power.

In less than three minutes, he completely controlled the scene; the demon race people were all slain, and the demon cultivators and He family members were all subdued.

Ning Qianqian still wanted to use them to claim merit, so she didn't kill them.

Even her demon cultivator insider was tied up.

The act must be carried out fully.

The demon cultivators here were not all of them; Ning Qianqian might still be able to use that insider.

As for that Demon Race Seven Realm, that guy, seeing the situation unfavorable, fled alone.

"How could this be!"

He Zhen despaired.

He was also tied up by the rope thrown by Lu Xueqi.

Although the rope looked like just one strand, it seemed able to extend infinitely, binding all the dozens of demon cultivators and He family members.

"No!"

He Huan was extremely unwilling.

He had just obtained the demon fetus.

Next, as long as he resolved the demon god's will inside the demon fetus, the demon fetus could be used by him, helping him soar to great heights.

The demon god's will is not so easily resolved.

But He Huan knew that inside his grandfather's body there was an extremely terrifying will.

That will had once promised to help them.

But he never expected that, after obtaining the demon fetus, suddenly five Seven Realms experts would appear and wipe them out in one sweep.

The hard-won spark of hope was thus extinguished.

This was even more agonizing than killing him.

"Qianqian, let's go."

After settling everyone, Lu Xueqi prepared to leave.

Ning Qianqian was curiously examining that square pillar, seeming to want to take it apart to look inside.

Lu Xueqi, however, did not intend to move it.

This place involves a fallen demon god; even if the other party has fallen, things related to gods should be avoided as much as possible.

Especially demon gods, which are evil deities.

After returning, reporting the location here will naturally bring someone to deal with it.

"Alright."

Ning Qianqian put away her curiosity.

Several people were preparing to break out of this place.

Suddenly.

"Hum!"

The abyss below shuddered.

In an instant, towering demonic qi surged forth like a breached flood, dyeing the entire space black.

In the churning darkness, a terrifying existence that made heaven and earth tremble slowly opened its eyes.

"Not good! It's still alive!"

Ning Qianqian's face changed drastically.

"It's not alive; its body has been possessed—hurry, hurry and go!"

Lu Xueqi saw more, including the will that had earlier burst from He Zhen's body, which she also detected.

However, that will moved too fast for Lu Xueqi to stop.

That's why she wanted to quickly resolve things here and leave.

"Five Seven Realms... tsk tsk, just enough for this seat to feast upon... kekeke..."

The cold whisper still echoed, and from the bottom of the abyss came a bone-chilling sound of bones exploding.

The next moment, black mist roiled, and a huge demonic body rose up from the ground.

Merely its appearance caused the heaven-earth dharma forms of Lu Chen and the other two to instantly shrink greatly, as if unable to withstand its pressure.

"Charge out with me!"

Ning Qianqian only needed to sense the opponent's aura to know they were unbeatable.

Even if the five of them combined their strength and used their trump cards, they would still not be a match for the opponent.

They could only flee.

In the midst of speaking, she produced an object and fiercely activated it.

With her motion, a violet-gold lightning bolt appeared, instantly striking toward the edge of this void space.

It seemed they could break through this space.

Suddenly,

A huge hand appeared before the lightning at inconceivable speed, and with a single pinch it shattered that astonishingly powerful lightning.

"How is that possible!"

Ning Qianqian's eyes narrowed.

This was her grandfather's trump card, equivalent to a full-force strike from a Nine Realms peak, yet the opponent easily broke it.

Does that not mean... the opponent's remaining strength is still above the Nine Realms?

This is really not good.

Facing a Nine Realms, even if they still had trump cards, they probably couldn't escape.

"Lu Xueqi, it's my fault, I still have a few trump cards in my hand; I'll hold them off, you all flee with all your strength; if I don't make it back, later bring my junior brothers to my grave to take a look at me, and I'll die content..."

Ning Qianqian quickly sent a voice transmission to Lu Xueqi.

She couldn't help but feel somewhat regretful.

Lu Xueqi had initially suggested she report the matter upward, at least to get the Eight Realms to intervene.

Ning Qianqian didn't want to share the credit, so she tried to show off a bit.

As a result, now they've messed up!
