Chapter 822: The Unfortunate Qilin Clan, Annihilating All Demons with a Snap of the Fingers (4K)

Zhang Jian's eyes came into view, and there was some surprise in their depths.

The good corpse of Qingxia Daozun had informed him that Qingxia Daozun had entered the Stone Dragon Heaven Realm this time in search of a mysterious innate relic.

But Zhang Jian had not expected to find a connection with the Qilin clan.

Moreover, it concerned the progenitor of the Qilin clan.

At this moment, Zhang Jian unfurled the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State, using it to envelop the Five Turbid Demon Hall.

Qingxia Daozun immediately proceeded to slowly state the purpose of this journey.

The LanTai Dao Palace had long ago tracked a powerful member of the Qilin clan.

That powerful member of the Qilin clan was a Daozun, and also one of the few ancient Daozuns of the Qilin clan.

When Qingxia Daozun, by chance, captured this ancient Daozun of the Qilin clan, the old Daozun, in order to save his life, revealed part of the secrets he knew.

This is the origin of the Qilin clan's innate treasure trove.

"I never imagined that after entering the Stone Dragon Heaven Realm, I would soon be targeted by the Yin-Turbid Demon Venerable. I exhausted all means, yet could not shake off his entanglement. In the end, even the Ten Thousand Heavens Wheel of Reincarnation Diagram fell into his hands. Fortunately, this old demon's desires were too great, and he still clung to the bait I offered; otherwise, I fear I could not have held out until your arrival, Ah Yu!"

Qingxia Daozun's expression carried a hint of lament.

Although she was a third-turn Daozun and possessed a Daozun-level good corpse, facing the Yin-Turbid Demon Venerable left her with little room to resist.

Even after deploying numerous innate spiritual treasures.

Instead, several were seized from her.

To the point that she herself was suppressed.

Zhang Jian smiled faintly.

"Though the fortune of a Daozun is not severed, he can still turn misfortune into blessing!"

Qingxia Daozun, however, shook her head slightly, knowing the peril of this journey.

Indeed, there was far too much reliance on luck within.

Fortunately, she had persevered until reinforcements arrived.

At the same time, she knew that if she wished to continue seeking treasures on this journey, Zhang Jian's assistance was indispensable, so she immediately proceeded to reveal all the secrets she knew.

"According to that powerful member of the Qilin clan, before the primordial Qilin clan's progenitor fell, considering the great war of the three clans, the Qilin clan's strong ones had suffered heavy losses. Fearful that the secret trove would invite disaster, they used a secret method to seal the Qilin clan's treasures within a piece of Qilin divine stone, hiding it deep in Zhou Mountain. Originally, they intended to wait until the Qilin clan had strong ones grow up again, then find the Qilin divine stone and reclaim everything. Unfortunately, the ancient demon god clan's war with the heavenly court shattered Zhou Mountain, and the heavenly pillar broke..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian couldn't help but smirk slightly.

The Qilin clan truly had some ill fortune.

After the great war of the three primordial tribes, the rise of the ancient demon god clan and the demon tribe followed closely.

The two tribes seized the fortunes of the three primordial tribes, divided the primordial blessings, and began anew their struggle for heavenly and earthly authority.

Zhou Mountain was actually shattered by impact.

This truly plunged the Qilin clan's strong ones into hardship!

But in fact, even if Zhou Mountain remained intact, the Qilin clan would already find it very difficult to recover.

According to secret records of the heavenly court, after the demon tribe's rise, they pressured and suppressed the former primordial hegemons, the three primordial tribes, and also found ways to empty their treasuries.

For example, bathing the eastern sea in great sunlight—this single act nearly drained most of the dragon clan's foundation.

The phoenix clan retreated to a million volcanoes and voluntarily yielded the position of leader of all birds to the golden crow clan. Most importantly, they sent part of their people to serve as mounts or disciples under great divine beings who attained the Dao in ancient times, thus preserving at least a portion of their vital essence.

The Qilin clan, however, fared miserably.

Even their holy land could not be preserved; they were driven out from Zhou Mountain, where they had dwelled for generations.

The strong ones of the clan were, moreover, variously driven to extermination by the demon tribe, until their lineage was nearly severed.

Otherwise, as descendants of the Qilin clan's royal lineage, they would not have fallen so low—indeed, their status would not even match that of some later-born innate divine beasts.

In ancient and modern times, the Qilin clan has dwindled to the point of extreme rarity.

Even in the heavenly court, few of their members are seen.

Zhang Jian believed that the heavenly court might exaggerate the tyranny of the previous dynasty, but not by much.

Qingxia Daozun said.

"Though the Qilin divine stone is lost, the Qilin clan has never forgotten to seek its return!"

"It is only a pity that the Qilin clan has already declined; though they possess secret methods, they lack the ability to recover this object!"

Zhang Jian, upon hearing this, gave a slight nod.

He knew that, given Qingxia Daozun's current status in the Yaochi Holy Land, subduing the Qilin clan would be very easy.

Qingxia Daozun gazed at Zhang Jian and then said.

"I have already confirmed that the Qilin clan's innate treasure trove lies in the lower depths of the Turbid Evil Abyss. However, the number of demonic path strong ones there is too great, and I cannot infiltrate it. The only time I did infiltrate, I was discovered by the Yin-Turbid Demon Venerable!"

At the same time, Qingxia Daozun opened her palm, revealing a formed piece of black-and-yellow Qilin ancient jade.

Upon this beautiful jade appeared an ancient and magnificent aura.

She then said to Zhang Jian.

"This object is the Qilin clan's transmitted supreme treasure, the Qilin Ancient Jade!

It contains within it the Qilin clan's supreme secret method for sensing the Qilin divine stone. Ah Yu, you may try its authenticity!"

Zhang Jian casually took it.

Through the exquisite ancient jade in his hand, he could sense the existence of a drop of illusory essence blood.

It was a drop of black-and-yellow essence blood, within which lay a surging primordial, domineering, and lofty qi mechanism, and also a surge of magnificent divine energy from the long river of ages, manifesting within as a yellow earth-colored Qilin phantom.

That yellow earth-colored Qilin displayed four feet of extraordinarily splendid gold, its eyes weathered and magnificent, yet bearing a divine power of benevolent heaven and earth.

Through it, it seemed one could govern the boundless primordial wilderness.

The progenitor of the Qilin clan, the Qilin, was the first lord of the earth in all of heavenly void throughout history.

The boundless earth origin mystery it contained caused Zhang Jian's eyes to feel something unusual, but he soon restrained himself.

At the same time, a formless message transmitted from within the ancient jade became perceptible to him.

This is a bloodline secret technique of the Qilin clan.

Through this bloodline secret technique, one can use the primordial Qilin essence blood qi in the jade slip as a medium to locate the Qilin Divine Stone.

Zhang Jian slightly deduced the Nine Heavenly Dao Jade Mansion deep between his brows, and instantly comprehended the bloodline secret technique in his hand.

A strange light burst from deep within his eyes, as if piercing through the river of time above via the Qilin ancient jade in his hand, following the bloodline cause-and-effect connection in the dark, he sensed another object with a faint connection to the Qilin ancient jade deep within the Turbid Evil Abyss.

It must naturally be the corresponding other ancestral Qilin relic.

Qilin Divine Stone.

At this moment, Zhang Jian opened his eyes, and deep within his eyes seemed to have a dense divine radiance piercing straight into the deepest part of the Turbid Evil Abyss.

At this moment, the deepest part of the Turbid Evil Abyss was filled with dense turbid evil killing aura, evil spirit divine light, and even the radiance of demon realms formed by demon domains, but under Zhang Jian's vast divine power, they were all pierced through, terrifying divine power emerged from the void depths of the Turbid Evil Abyss, and in an instant fell into the deepest part of the Turbid Evil Abyss, which was a great vortex formed by turbid evil killing aura, inside which had absorbed the resentment and hatred of countless reborn spirits, evil thoughts, and even boundless desires.

Inside, it seemed to have absorbed countless strange objects, including the lingering spirits of powerful beings who could not be liberated.

In it, Zhang Jian saw an irregular divine stone covered with countless black patterns floating in the boundless evil thoughts, but in an instant it was disturbed by an invisible force and concealed!

"Found it!"

With a flash of thought, Zhang Jian, accompanied by Qingxiao Dao Jun, turned into a stream of light and flew toward the lower layer of the Turbid Evil Abyss.

The vast turbid evil killing aura could not withstand his peerless divine power.

Feeling Zhang Jian's unhidden movement, Qingxiao Dao Jun couldn't help but change color slightly.

"A Yu, what are you doing?"

Zhang Jian smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"You don't want to cause a big scene, do you? Let's just flatten this Turbid Evil Abyss now!"

"What?"

Qingxiao Dao Jun's eyes instantly turned toward Zhang Jian, with some astonishment in his gaze.

Zhang Jian, however, remained calm in expression.

He noticed that the place where the Qilin Divine Stone fell was very mysterious, seemingly the origin of the Turbid Evil Abyss, where it could continuously absorb the resentment and hatred of beings from the Stone Dragon Heaven Realm, evil thoughts, and was also an area guarded by an invisible terrifying will of the Turbid Evil Abyss.

To silently infiltrate it would be no ordinary difficulty.

Because doing so would inevitably alarm the supreme will nurtured by the Turbid Evil Abyss.

That is similar to human will, ethnic will, and such things.

So let's just cause a big scene.

Zhang Jian has always been one who considers victory first, then defeat.

Even if unsuccessful, he would not expose his own purpose.

But to have a just cause, he directed his gaze toward a vast and expansive demon domain deep in the core of the Turbid Evil Abyss—the Ten Thousand Years Evil God Demon Domain of the Extreme Evil Demon Lord of the Turbid Evil Abyss.

Under the divine flood, Zhang Jian's true form emerged from the boundless golden light, his voice vast and solemn, spreading throughout the entire Ten Thousand Years Evil God Demon Domain.

"Extreme Evil Demon God, come forth and receive death!"

As his true form descended, he saw that terrifying turbid evil killing aura had already turned into torrents surging from the void around him.

These were some evil spirits beneficial to the Turbid Evil Abyss, extraterritorial heavenly demons, and even terrifying demon gods of the extramural demon god race.

But these blind fellows, under Zhang Jian's gaze, were turned into streams of green light and purified on the spot.

Even several Taiyi True Immortals, and even demon monarch-level great demons, under a single thought of Zhang Jian, had their true forms collapse and their primordial spirits annihilated.

Even the clamor and angry shouts in their mouths had not yet been able to escape their mouths.

This scene caused Qingxiao Dao Jun beside Zhang Jian to change countenance.

Such divine might is truly shocking.

At the same time, Zhang Jian was not idle; with a raise of his hand, he directly summoned a purple-yellow dragon-shaped immortal light, which instantly condensed and manifested above the boundless Ten Thousand Years Evil God Demon Domain as a magnificent divine cauldron.

Around the divine cauldron, purple-yellow divine light spread, faintly revealing the scene of the boundless heavenly heavens' void turning, and its vast power pressed down.

Boom—boom—boom!

It seemed a magnificent divine power, with the Earth Emperor's Furnace as its center, spread across most of the Turbid Evil Abyss, seeking to swallow the entire Turbid Evil Abyss into it and thoroughly refine it.

As Zhang Jian's cultivation advanced further, his understanding of the concept of 【Creation】 had already reached an astonishing level.

The concept of 【Creation】 not only includes 【Creation】, but also encompasses 【Refining】 and other such secondary concepts.

Transforming Yin and Yang, the Two Instruments, transforming the formless Heaven and Earth, likewise can transform the great Dao rules of all heavens, and even the vast cosmos.

Transforming the tangible into the intangible.

Also transforming the intangible into the tangible.

The concept of 【Creation】 is indeed profound and unfathomable, embodying both creation and destruction.

Although he had not yet attained the realm to cultivate the Dao Beginning Furnace due to his cultivation level, the Earth Emperor Furnace had already acquired another kind of transcendent divine power.

The green sacrificial fire also manifested within it.

Only seen, the Earth Emperor Furnace fell, and instantly pierced a terrifying great hole in the lower Ten Thousand Years Evil God Demon Domain.

But then, suddenly, a vast demonic qi surged forth from within, like black-colored shocking thunder and lightning, spreading across the endless demon domain above, attempting to resist the vortex formed by the Earth Emperor Furnace, but it collapsed in an instant, and the primordial demonic light within could not be resisted.

But then, seen afterward, a dim demonic light emerged from within, guiding the Turbid Evil Abyss will to appear, transforming into a dark-colored long spear, which pierced the Earth Emperor Furnace.

The vast primordial demonic light emerged, and in the depths of the Ten Thousand Years Evil God Demon Domain, a towering, humanoid magnificent demon god manifested from within, his features handsome yet looking at Zhang Jian with some surprise and anger, while coldly snorting and shouting.

"Exactly which immortal god are you, Venerable One? It seems we have no grudge between us?"

The Extreme Evil Demon God's eyes were gloomy.

As one of the renowned ancient demons of the Nine Nether Demon Realm, and moreover a supreme-level demon lord, he naturally was not someone easy to talk to.

At this moment, his endurance was only because after one strike, he realized the opponent was not easy to provoke, so he spoke up to inquire.

Moreover, deceit was hidden within.

Zhang Jian sensed a special and peculiar curse power emerging from the void above, a flash of cold smile passing through his eyes.

He could sense that it seemed to be a type of responsive curse secret technique.

The other party asked, and he answered. If he truly reported his own name, he would fall right into the curse; even if it couldn't harm him, he would be entangled by the spell, affecting the manifestation of his primordial spirit and Dao-heart.

Although he possessed a supreme treasure and feared no such means, he was unwilling to directly fall into the trap. Instead, he raised the long sword in his hand and shouted angrily.

"Shameless demon lord!"

"You wicked ones privately established a demon realm, obstructing the heavenly and earthly cycle of reincarnation and the righteous path, causing the souls of billions of my human race to fall into the turbid evil abyss, unable to escape, wailing day and night. You are not worthy to know my true name and title!

Today, I, the Venerable One, shall settle the accounts with you scoundrels on behalf of all the heavenly human races!"

"What nonsense!"

The Extremely Evil Demon God, hearing this, flew into a rage for no apparent reason.

"Draw your sword, come die!"

Zhang Jian's expression turned slightly grim, yet he had already directly made his move.

With his voice, a dazzling, blinding sword light appeared behind him. One hand followed the momentum to grip the long sword, while the other hand burst forth with imperial earth immortal light from within, covering the sword hilt he held. He gently pushed upward, driving the sword radiance. Yet, sword light upon sword radiance burst forth fiercely, centered on his true form.

Like a billionfold golden light blazing sun sword energy exploding.

Wherever the sword light reached, that vast and mighty Extremely Evil Demon Realm collapsed inch by inch, disintegrating.

Countless layers of sword light instantly reduced the foundation of the Extremely Evil Demon Venerable, accumulated over tens of billions of eons, to dust.

Innumerable extraterritorial demon gods, and even the extraterritorial heavenly demons nurtured within the demon realm, under the golden light, like ice and snow beneath a scorching sun, silently evaporated.

The entire Extremely Evil Demon Realm, spanning hundreds of millions of millions of miles, was collapsing.

This was purely utilizing the divine power of the innate supreme treasure itself!

Seeing this, the Extremely Evil Demon God was greatly startled, and at the same time, his three corpses leapt violently.

A mass of intense shadow emerged from around his body, faintly manifesting into a terrifying long banner. Upon the banner, layers of primordial demon light appeared, and in an instant, it seemed to sweep the turbid evil abyss demonic qi from the boundless depths, tearing through space to slash toward Zhang Jian.

That terrifying long banner appeared to be an innate spiritual treasure born from the source of the turbid evil abyss.

Its momentum was not inferior to that of ordinary top-tier innate spiritual treasures.

And it might very well be a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Zhang Jian gazed at this scene, his expression unchanging. Only seen, he flipped the Imperial Sovereign Gold Spirit Sword in his hand. Numerous strands of Imperial Sovereign sword qi, like rushing thunder and lightning, flashed through the void. They merged into one in midair, and in an instant, swept past the endless demon waves. In a flash, the rolling demonic torrent was pierced through.

Where the sword light passed, it was as if flowing water pierced through the true form of the Extremely Evil Demon God, bringing forth a purplish-black blood qi that permeated the turbid mist.

The true form of the Extremely Evil Demon God was also sent flying backward by hundreds of millions of zhang by the terrifying golden light sword qi.

This demon god, after merely one encounter, was severely wounded by the sword light.

The demon god's true form was almost split apart.

This terrifying sight left not only the Qingxua Daoist Monarch, who was nearby, staring dumbfounded, but even the myriad hidden supreme gods and demons of the Stone Dragon True Realm could not help but avert their gaze, and even dared not look directly at the figure surrounded by terrifying supreme treasure sword qi.

"Innate supreme treasure?"
