Chapter 392: The Tibetan Fox, the Pawn
Outside the Changqing Realm, deep within the Spirit Mist region.
Accompanied by a piercing shriek that resounded through the surroundings, the mist was shaken, rolling and deforming in succession.
A mutated giant beast, having grown up in the Spirit Mist environment and measuring over ten thousand meters in size, breathed its last.
Then, a man with a bare upper torso, white hair, and a face that looked exceptionally young and handsome, extracted its Divine Soul and immediately opened his mouth to swallow it whole.
Smacking his lips, this white-haired man began to tear at the giant beast's skin with his hands, actually starting to slowly devour the giant beast's flesh and blood just like that.
Looking from afar, it was as if an ant were eating the corpse of a giant whale.
It was unbelievable, yet it was happening right there.
In the mist, other exotic beasts that had caught the scent of the giant beast's corpse also rushed over, restless and eager to move.
However, whenever they drew even slightly closer,
they would suddenly pause, and upon sensing the death aura of that humanoid creature on the giant beast's corpse, they would turn and leave without looking back.
This white-haired man
was the Half-Demon co-lord passed down by word of mouth among the great demons of the Changqing Realm.
He was a hybrid of the human race and the fox race.
He called himself Zang Hu, and after leaving the Changqing Realm,
because the Spirit Mist environment made it impossible for him to distinguish directions, he could not walk out of this area of Spirit Mist either.
Yet, he had spent several hundred years gradually becoming accustomed to the various secrets of the Spirit Mist region.
He even relied on hunting the exotic beasts in this area to continuously improve the strength of his physique and Divine Soul.
Although, suffering from having no cultivation techniques and no one to tell him the key methods,
Zang Hu remained stuck at the Void Return Late Stage, unable to make any further progress.
But with so many exotic beasts in his belly,
he had also cultivated a Diamond Indestructible Sacred Body and a Divine Soul system that could be called impervious to a hundred calamities.
Now, even relying solely on physical brute force, he was enough to beat those exotic beasts of the same realm to death alive!
"Huh?"
"Old Tree Head is actually calling for help?"
"Even if the Demon Clan or the Devil Clan are stronger than it, they wouldn't provoke it."
"Could it be that some peerless prodigy has emerged on the human side?"
Zang Hu's eyes lit up; he was not afraid of a prodigy appearing, but rather somewhat expectant.
The reason he had taken the initiative to run out of the Changqing Realm was actually to vacate space so that more powerhouses could appear in his hometown.
After reaching the Void Return stage, Zang Hu vaguely felt that if he wanted to go further, relying solely on his own pondering would be an extremely difficult process.
Because of this, Zang Hu had intentionally maintained the balance of the various races in the Changqing Realm, allowing the weak human race to survive by relying on the protection of a few cities.
However, the development of events soon made Zang Hu feel that something was wrong.
It was not just the tree demon; one after another, the great demons and even human Old Ancestors who had his contact channel sent messages for help.
And every time Zang Hu tried to contact them, he found that the messages had already been cut off.
This made Zang Hu sense that something ominous was afoot.
I fear some great disaster has truly descended upon the Changqing Realm.
"It is, after all, the place where I was born."
"I cannot just watch it be destroyed."
Zang Hu stopped eating, and after whispering a few words, a Fox-Headed Human-Bodied Dharma Image emerged from his body.
This human-fox Dharma image was snow-white all over, with only the corners of its mouth and its eyes flashing with a blood-red halo.
Awoo!
The human-fox Dharma image suddenly surged to over twenty thousand meters in height, and then its large mouth opened wide.
It actually swallowed the giant beast's carcass in one big gulp.
And after a gurgle as it swallowed the carcass into its belly, it just bulged a few times before disappearing.
After the human-fox finished its meal, it vanished.
Zang Hu let out a satisfied burp, licked his lips, and then rushed off, following the connection to the Changqing Realm.
In the Changqing Realm, under the cleanup of Valkyrie Kong and the Knight King Aierwen,
whether it was the Demon Clan or the Devil Clan, they all chose to submit in the face of absolute strength, just like the human race.
It was just that Su Ping knew that most of them still harbored fantasies, thinking that as long as that Half-Demon co-lord returned, everything would get better.
Su Ping did not mind this.
He even refrained from forcibly taking them all into the Sun Moon Star Chart to work for this reason.
Instead, he let them gather near the Immortal Boat Fleet, waiting for that Half-Demon co-lord to return.
At the same time, Su Ping also let his Primordial Spirit Avatar take the initiative to strike, relying on his powerful divine sense and Valkyrie Kong's keen perception of space.
He found quite a few hidden Spirit Objects and heavenly treasures.
This made some of the Demon Clan and human bigwigs staying near the Immortal Boat Fleet feel a pang in their hearts, and they hurriedly lowered their eyes to hide their heartache.
"The quality of the heavenly treasures in this Small World is average, but most of them are Spirit Objects that can quickly increase Dharma Power and save cultivation time."
"Perhaps I can keep this Small World in this Spirit Mist to carry out sustainable development, providing me with a steady stream of Spirit Objects."
Su Ping thought, taking out a portion of the Spirit Objects to bestow upon the Golden Core Spirit Beasts under his command, which could also be considered testing the medicinal properties with their bodies.
At the same time, from this righteous crusade against the Changqing Realm,
Su Ping also gained quite a few Nascent Soul Demon Souls.
With the help of the Purification Potion, these Demon Souls soon allowed Su Ping to create a batch of Nascent Soul Spirit Beasts.
It is a pity that it is difficult to hunt the primordial spirits of the Great Demon of Deity Transformation realm and above.
When faced with indecision, these Great Demons often choose to have their Divine Soul destroyed entirely.
Su Ping could only rely on his pressure to accept the surrender of a few Great Demons of Deity Transformation and Heavenly Demons.
With the guidance of direction, Zang Hu arrived extremely quickly.
It was noon, one day after Su Ping entered the Changqing Realm.
Su Ping suddenly felt something, and the Cultivators beside him looked up at the sky together.
The sky suddenly flickered.
The phantom of the Sun suddenly disappeared amidst the flickering.
Then, where it had disappeared, a white-haired man with a bare upper body and gray shorts appeared.
The white-haired man narrowed his eyes into slits, looking at the massive Immortal Boat Fleet in mid-air.
He chuckled a few times:
"So the stories of the old men were actually not entirely made up?"
"There really are other worlds in existence!"
"This is excellent!"
"After I beat you all into submission, let me properly learn what the situation is like in the outside world."
Zang Hu had a big mouth.
This also had to do with his experiences.
He had been winning, winning, and winning his whole life.
The only difference was whether it was a small win, a medium win, or a big win!
After returning to his hometown, he did not act recklessly but observed for a while.
Whether it was confirming that golden, good-looking fleet or those few Cultivators who looked somewhat special.
Although there was a faint sense of threat, their realms were all below his own.
This put Zang Hu, who had always killed enemies of higher ranks, at ease and filled him with confidence.
In his view, the worst-case scenario was that the power of the enemy's fleet formation exceeded his expectations.
Forcing him to turn a head-on decisive battle into a guerrilla war or a war of attrition.
And Zang Hu was confident that he could drag it out until he was the one who achieved final victory, thereby beating the other side into submission.
"Interesting."
Su Ping looked at Zang Hu in the high sky, a glimmer of Golden Light appearing in his eyes.
From the white-haired man before him, he faintly saw a shadow of his own companions.
If this co-lord of the half-demons continued to develop and obtained the opportunity to leave the Spirit Mist region after tempering his body to the limit.
That would be the situation of a trapped dragon ascending to the heavens.
It is not impossible that Dao Integration would be easy, and transforming into a Great Vehicle or even a Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Immortal would not be impossible.
Honestly speaking.
Relying on the powerful Divine Sense brought by the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree.
After seeing Zang Hu, Su Ping even faintly saw some deeper mysteries.
His Divine Soul inexplicably had an intuition:
This child could absolutely not have been cultivated by the Changqing Realm!
Even recalling the memories scavenged from the Changqing Realm.
A certain thought flashed through his mind:
From the moment it became difficult to leave the Spirit Mist region after entering from the Changqing Realm.
This was a trap set by some major power.
And the purpose of this trap, at least for now, was to cultivate this white-haired man before him!
Using the fate of a Small World to cultivate a heaven-defying talent.
Such methods, no matter how one thinks about it, must be the means of one of those Three Great Alliances, right?
"The waters run deep behind this."
"But it doesn't matter! Since I've encountered them, these opportunities are mine."
"This child's Spirit Body must be extraordinary; it is destined to be used by me."
Su Ping saw the other party laugh loudly, then take the initiative to charge down.
Su Ping immediately waved his hand and unleashed a Five-Colored Divine Light.
Zang Hu did not recognize the Five-Colored Divine Light, but he could feel that this technique was extraordinary, so he hurriedly unleashed his Human-Fox Dharma Form and reached out a large claw to slap it away.
In an instant, the claw extended by Zang Hu's Human-Fox Dharma Form was extinguished by more than half.
Yet it also blocked Su Ping's Five-Colored Divine Light.
However, Zang Hu then noticed that the person who was clearly the leader of the other side did not continue to attack.
Instead, after waving his hand.
A young man with short white hair appeared beside him.
The young man looked at him, and suddenly his whole body transformed into a giant ice-blue sword and stabbed over.
Zang Hu threw a punch at the giant sword.
At the moment of collision, the sky flashed and was illuminated in ice blue!
The giant sword shattered and disappeared, but hundreds or thousands of cold ice swords appeared in its place, striking Zang Hu wave after wave like a tsunami from all directions.
It was just that this Zang Hu was indestructible like diamond, and the cold ice swords stabbed at his body surface without even leaving a white mark.
However, this was merely a facade; the Zanghu enduring the bombardment was shocked to the core.
The icy power contained within the opponent's attacks had already penetrated his physical defenses and was gradually invading his internal organs.
Even his Divine Soul felt a faint trace of chill.
"This person's cultivation realm should be at the early stage of Return to Void, even lower than mine... yet he is actually able to wound me!"
"Is it true that there is always someone better, and heavens beyond the heavens?"
Zanghu looked at Qumo Zhenren Yunkong, who had been summoned by Su Ping.
Facing Yunkong, who was already at the Sixth Realm, Zanghu's demon blood began to boil after suffering a slight disadvantage.
A human-fox phantom emerged from his body, and red light erupted from his white Shenchong.
The surrounding ice swords melted in an instant under the red light.
Then, Qumo Zhenren Yunkong formed a blue light shield with both hands, blocking a claw from Zanghu.
In the blink of an eye, that claw transformed into hundreds of afterimages of the human-fox dharma image and Zanghu's physical body.
In a single breath, they shattered Qumo Zhenren Yunkong's defensive shield.
Yet, in that same instant, an Ice Giant Sword suddenly appeared in the sky and came crashing down.
This forced Zanghu to abandon his pursuit and choose to defend.
Qumo Zhenren Yunkong retreated a hundred meters and, after forming a sword finger,
once again summoned a large number of ice swords to strike at Zanghu.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The battle between Zanghu and Yunkong caused the sky to tremble incessantly.
The entire Changqing Realm would drop to zero degrees one moment, and return to normal temperature the next.
The great battle also left the natives of the Changqing Realm on the ground stunned.
Especially many great demons with long lifespans.
It was the first time they had seen Zanghu fight someone for so long without a winner being decided.
"This is not looking good; the opponent has only sent out one person who hadn't acted before, and he has already fought Zanghu to a stalemate."
"If those two from before also come to assist, Zanghu..."
A great demon was somewhat worried, even wanting to risk sending a message to warn him.
However, as Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar's divine sense descended and swept over these demons,
the great demons with such thoughts immediately abandoned their immature ideas.
And high in the sky,
after Su Ping saw through Zanghu's capabilities,
he decided to end this game.
Thus, as the Sun Moon Star Chart was released, it transformed in the blink of an eye into a Huijuan broader than the sky itself.
A Shadow of the Abyss covered the airspace where Zanghu was located.
Zanghu immediately sensed a crisis and was about to shift the battlefield,
when he discovered that four demon emperors, who looked absolutely extraordinary at a glance, had appeared to block his path.
At the same time, a sacred, towering aura like a mountain suddenly erupted from the body of that rather troublesome opponent.
A phantom of a deity dressed as an Emperor appeared, his eyes like lightning piercing toward Zanghu.
Zanghu wanted to flee; ignoring the interception of the demon emperors, he only wanted to leave the Changqing Realm quickly and escape into the Spirit Mist.
However, with the blessing of the Sun Moon Star Chart, the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor took one step and had already crossed space to appear beside Zanghu.
The Emperor pointed a finger.
Zanghu was struck as if by lightning, his entire body trembling.
His eyes suddenly turned white, and the drops of blood flowing from the corners of his mouth suddenly flowed back in.
Then, a blood-colored Immortal character appeared on the chest of Zanghu's upper body.
A phantom emerged from the Immortal character.
It was a kind-looking old Daoist in green robes with fox ears.
This old Daoist squinted his eyes, which were thin slits just like Zanghu's, and after scanning the surroundings, his gaze quickly fell upon the phantom of the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor.
Revealing a look of uncertainty, the old Daoist hesitated and said:
"This Daoist, could you give the Spirit Fox Clan of the Demon Alliance some face?"
"Spare this kid, and the Spirit Fox Clan will owe you a favor in the future."
Su Ping heard this and secretly thought that it was indeed related to those Three Great Alliances.
Then, with a thought from Su Ping,
the True Martial Sword on the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor suddenly unsheathed.
Following the word "Slay" that resounded throughout the entire Changqing Realm,
a flash of green light streaked across.
The smile on the face of the Fox-eared Old Daoist's phantom froze abruptly.
The next second, the old Daoist's phantom dissipated.
Zanghu also fell completely unconscious and was then sucked into the Sun Moon Star Chart.
Su Ping hurriedly retracted the Sun Moon Star Chart.
He then looked at the stunned natives of the Changqing Realm below and smiled slightly:
"Do you see?"
"The so-called co-lord of half-demons, the darling of the world."
"In truth, it is merely a chess piece in the hands of others."
"And you natives are actually even more miserable; you are nothing but nutrients for cultivating the chess pieces of others."
After saying this, Su Ping bestowed a Jade Slip.
The Jade Slip recorded the true situation of the Shikong Haiyu and the differences between Small Worlds, Small Thousand Worlds, Great Worlds, and Great Thousand Worlds.
And after reading the contents of the Jade Slip, as long as one is not stupid.
One can also deduce the abnormalities of the Changqing Realm for oneself.
And realize that all the changes in their world were entirely for the sake of cultivating that co-ruler.
At the same time.
In a distant Demon Realm Cave Heaven hidden within a region of space-time vortexes.
"Who dares to destroy my Avatar!"
An aged and powerful shriek resounded throughout the Demon Realm.
Immediately, a white-furred nine-tailed demon fox with a body length of one thousand meters rushed out of the Cave Abode, roaring repeatedly in the sky!
