Chapter 787: Senior Brother and Junior Brother, Upper Realm Demon God (Seeking monthly votes)
The figure Qiu Daoping saw had always been the existence he feared most in his heart. Even though this person had fallen many years ago, he would still frequently appear in his mind, making him unable to forget.
Seeing a trace of change on Qiu Daoping's face, Feng He's mouth revealed a smile, and the look in his eyes toward the other party also added a bit of playful excitement.
Seeing this, the expression on Qiu Daoping's face became increasingly solemn. After a good while, he opened his mouth and continued: "Back then, when your life soul lamp left in the sect went out, I thought you should have disappeared from this world.
I didn't expect that after so many years, I would be able to see you again. It seems this is truly heaven's will, Senior Brother Feng!"
Feng He heard this, and the excitement on his face seemed to intensify a bit. He nodded directly to Qiu Daoping: "I thought that after five hundred years, you all would have long forgotten my existence. You finally remembered, my good Junior Brother!"
"Hehe! Senior Brother Feng, what are you saying? If it weren't for you back then, how could I, Junior Brother, have had the opportunity to step into the Nascent Soul realm? I fear I would have long since exhausted my lifespan and been trapped at the Core Formation realm.
Senior Brother, you are my great benefactor. Even if you were no longer here, I still enshrined a spirit tablet for you in the Ancestor Hall of Falling Maple Valley. I have never forgotten your contributions to the sect back then.
It's just that you are now standing before me safe and sound, which makes my painstaking efforts somewhat wasted.
Senior Brother Feng, past matters are already in the past. Since you chose to seize a body and be reborn, why not go far away and pursue the Great Dao of Longevity that you most desire?
Why go to such lengths to come here to see me now? What is the point?"
Seeing the Senior Brother who had fallen many years ago appear before him again, Qiu Daoping, after his shock, slowly recovered his calm expression and began to tentatively probe the other party's intentions.
And Feng He, hearing Qiu Daoping's inquiry, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth and said unhurriedly: "Junior Brother, compared to the path of the Dao, you might not know that for these five hundred years, what I have cared about more is you! If you had caught me back then, perhaps I would have already reincarnated, and you and I would not have had the day to meet again.
But since heaven has destined that my life should not end and gave me the opportunity to avenge my grievances, if I didn't come to see you, wouldn't I be failing the will of the Heavenly Dao."
"Avenge grievances? Hehe, five hundred years, Senior Brother, you are still so confident. You are truly worthy of being the most talented person in our Tianhai Cultivation World for thousands of years.
However, Senior Brother Feng, although your cultivation talent far exceeds others, your temperament has truly not improved at all.
If you could suppress this hatred in your heart and cultivate with focus for another hundred years, perhaps you would still have a chance. But now, just relying on your third-layer Nascent Soul cultivation, you want to talk to me about avenging grievances? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?
You don't think my cultivation strength is still the same as it was five hundred years ago, do you!"
As soon as Qiu Daoping finished speaking, a powerful pressure immediately erupted from his body, and then a giant white python appeared out of thin air under his feet.
This giant white python was also a fourth-grade low-quality puppet beast at the Nascent Soul level. As soon as it appeared, it stirred up a powerful whirlwind in the canyon.
"Bai Lin Illusion Cloud Python! Hehe, you have kept this item well for me." Seeing this giant white python appear, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Feng He's eyes.
After summoning the giant white python, Qiu Daoping immediately began to cast spells rapidly with both hands and took out a flying sword magic treasure somewhat similar to the "Li Huo Chi Xin Sword" from his body.
"Senior Brother Feng! Since you and I must have an end today, don't blame Junior Brother for being offensive!"
After shouting this to Feng He, Qiu Daoping's escape light flashed and disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared in mid-air and waved lightly toward Feng He's position.
As Qiu Daoping danced with the flying sword magic treasure in his hand, a crimson sword light with incomparably fierce momentum instantly flew out from before him, heading straight for Feng He's position.
At the same time, the giant white python that had originally been under Qiu Daoping's feet also suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a residual image on the spot.
Facing Qiu Daoping's fierce attack, Feng He did not have the slightest look of panic on his face, still looking at the other party calmly, with no intention of dodging at all.
When that crimson sword light reached not far before Feng He, this sword light, entwined with fierce flames, suddenly disappeared, as if it had entered a void.
And Feng He, who was watching all this expressionlessly not far away, also had a transparent mirror reflecting water ripples appear before him. It was this somewhat special mirror that had directly swallowed the crimson sword light just now.
As soon as the crimson sword light disappeared, a giant white python suddenly appeared in mid-air above Feng He's head, raised its giant mouth, and spat out several white light blades toward the bottom.
But just as this giant python appeared, a crane cry also came from behind Feng He, and then a giant white bird, also entirely snow-white, flew directly toward the giant python in the air.
The pressure radiated by this giant white bird was no less than that of the "Bai Lin Illusion Cloud Python" before it; it was also a fourth-grade low-quality puppet beast at the Nascent Soul level.
As soon as the giant white bird arrived in mid-air, it flapped its wings and released several white lightning bolts, directly crushing the "Bai Lin Illusion Cloud Python's" attack, and then fought with it.
"Fourth-grade puppet beast! I didn't expect Senior Brother Feng to still be able to refine such spiritual items. It seems your puppet skills haven't regressed after so many years. No wonder you have the confidence to come here to seek revenge on me.
However, just relying on these to deal with me is still not enough!"
Seeing the giant white bird before him, as well as the transparent water mirror before Feng He, which had handled all the attacks he had launched, Qiu Daoping did not look overly surprised and gathered a crimson spiritual light in his hand again.
Just as Qiu Daoping was preparing to launch an attack again, the transparent water mirror before Feng He suddenly turned a crimson red color, and then a crimson red sword light flew out from the transparent water mirror, heading straight for Qiu Daoping in mid-air.
"This is... Flame Spirit Sword Qi!"
Seeing that the crimson sword light before him actually radiated an aura he was very familiar with, Qiu Daoping quickly understood that this sword light was the very one he had just cast himself, and a trace of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.
Seeing the crimson sword light rushing over quickly, Qiu Daoping had no extra time to ponder this matter and immediately released a crimson light shield full of flames to block before him.
Only hearing a loud "Boom!" sound, the scene immediately stirred up a fierce flame, illuminating the entire canyon where the two were located into a blood-red color.
"Junior Brother! Since I have come today, naturally I wouldn't be unprepared. This is the burial ground I have carefully chosen for you."
As soon as Feng He finished speaking, dozens of spiritual lights suddenly lit up around the canyon, and then two transparent light shields appeared in mid-air, covering the entire canyon within them.
Seeing these two light shields instantly seal the entire canyon and trap him within the array, Qiu Daoping was slightly surprised, and the look in his eyes toward Feng He added a bit of seriousness.
"Tiangang Five Elements Array, Asura Yin Fire Array! No wonder when I just came over, I always felt the spiritual energy here was a bit wrong. So that's it! To deal with me, Senior Brother specially set up so many arrays here, truly painstaking. It seems you found quite a few helpers this time. It was indeed my underestimation of you earlier.
However, the power of these arrays you set up is truly still a bit lacking. At most, they can only temporarily keep me here. What can you do to me! This place is the Tianhai Cultivation World, it's not like only you can find helpers."
Although not a high-grade array master, Qiu Daoping, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, naturally had no lack of insight. Just as he arrived above the canyon, Qiu Daoping had already vaguely discovered that something was wrong nearby.
It was just that at the time, he thought he was only tracking Song Qingming and didn't know that the one waiting here would be a Nascent Soul cultivator, which was why he had been slightly careless and inadvertently fallen into the trap set by Feng He.
However, whether it was the "Tiangang Five Elements Array" or the "Asura Yin Fire Array," both were high-grade arrays biased toward defense and had no very strong offensive capabilities. At most, they could only trap him, a Nascent Soul cultivator, for a period of time.
Even though he was suddenly trapped by two major arrays, Qiu Daoping was only slightly surprised and not overly panicked, directly speaking out the reality of the arrays above.
After Qiu Daoping finished speaking, two white talismans appeared with a movement of spiritual light in his hand, and then the talismans suddenly ignited with flames, disappearing into ashes in his hand in an instant.
This nameless barren island was less than two thousand miles away from "Wind Thunder Island." A Core Formation cultivator could arrive in at most one hour at the fastest.
Seeing the transmission talisman in his hand successfully sent, Qiu Daoping's face looked slightly better.
Just as Qiu Daoping finished casting his spell, on a sea surface north of "Wind Thunder Island," a thousand miles away, a "Falling Maple Valley" Core Formation Elder who was monitoring the distance suddenly felt a trace of anomaly on his body.
The yellow-robed man who had spoken to Qiu Daoping earlier hurriedly cast a spell to take out a white talisman glowing with spiritual light from his storage magic tool.
"Eh! What is going on."
Seeing the request for help signal radiated from the talisman in his hand, the yellow-robed man was stunned on the spot, thinking he had misread it for a moment.
Just as the yellow-robed man was wearing a look of confusion, an escape light in the distance suddenly flew toward him, and then a big man also wearing a yellow robe arrived before him.
"Senior Brother Zhao, just received a message from Senior Uncle summoning us, what is going on?"
"Not good! It seems Senior Uncle has encountered some trouble. Junior Brother Yu, don't worry about this side for now, let's hurry over to help, lest we be blamed for arriving late."
On the nameless barren island, seeing Qiu Daoping send a request for help, Feng He's face still had no change, as if he didn't care about it at all.
"I certainly can't stop you from finding helpers, but whether you have the life to wait for reinforcements to arrive, that's hard to say!"
After Feng He finished speaking, with a movement of spiritual light in his hand, a somewhat ordinary-looking black wooden plaque appeared before him, as well as a flying sword magic treasure radiating crimson spiritual light. These two spiritual items were taken out after he opened Qiu Wuxin's storage magic tool earlier.
Seeing the two somewhat familiar magic treasures before him, Qiu Daoping also recognized that these were things on Qiu Wuxin's body, but for a moment he didn't understand Feng He's intention in suddenly taking them out.
After taking out the two magic treasures, Feng He did not pay attention to the confusion on Qiu Daoping's face, directly casting a spell to stir up a burst of black spiritual light, and his entire person was soon wrapped in a mass of pitch-black spiritual light.
"This is...
I didn't expect Senior Brother Feng, who back then prided himself on being righteous and hating evil, to actually cultivate such profound demonic cultivation techniques. This truly opened my eyes, Junior Brother.
Aren't you afraid that you will fall into the demonic path because of this and be targeted by the Upper Realm Demon God?"
"Hahaha, righteous path or demonic path! As long as it can help me kill you and avenge my grievances, even if I fall into the demonic path forever and be enslaved by the Upper Realm Demon God.
I would not care in the slightest!"
As the black spiritual energy on Feng He's body became thicker and thicker, in the sky above his head, a celestial phenomenon suddenly appeared, gathering a mass of black clouds and mist.
Not long after, a white light suddenly lit up in the black clouds and mist in the sky, and then a giant eye, tightly closed, appeared in the black mist.
After this giant white eye appeared, Feng He cast a spell and spat out a large mouthful of essence blood, dyeing the black token and the "Li Huo Chi Xin Sword" in his hand a blood-red color.
And at the same time, the giant white eye, having smelled the scent of blood, suddenly opened and released a white light, shining it on Feng He.
"Ah!"
Just at the moment of contact with the white light, Feng He let out a somewhat shrill scream, making Qiu Daoping, not far away, unable to help but change his expression upon hearing it.
Qiu Daoping, standing on the spot, seeing this scene, also vaguely felt a trace of crisis in his heart. Just as he wanted to step forward to stop the other party, a burst of unbearable pain suddenly came from his body, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Feng Tianyuan, you actually dare to feed the Demon God with essence blood, are you crazy?"
The black wooden plaque and "Li Huo Chi Xin Sword" that Feng He took out earlier were magic treasures Qiu Daoping had bestowed upon his junior Qiu Wuxin for self-defense. Except for their magical abilities being stronger than ordinary magic treasures of the same tier, there was nothing special about them.
Therefore, at first, when Qiu Daoping saw these two magic treasures appear in Feng He's hand, he had not appeared overly panicked.
It was not until he saw the giant eye open and shine on Feng He, beginning to swallow the essence blood on the magic treasures before Feng He, that Qiu Daoping saw the other party's true intention.
These two magic treasures had been refined and used by Qiu Daoping himself in his early years, and a trace of his divine sense and essence blood still remained on them, but at this moment, they were directly swallowed by the Demon God giant eye in the sky.
Having his own essence blood swallowed by the Demon God, Qiu Daoping's main body suffered a trace of backlash just like Feng He. At this moment, he also felt as if he had been stared at by the giant white eye in the sky.
Across the interface, although it was difficult for the main body of the Upper Realm Demon God to descend to the lower realm, as long as someone guided its divine sense, it still had ways to come to the lower realm through the power of the interface.
Because the gap in divine sense cultivation was too large, once a lower realm cultivator was stared at by the Demon God's divine sense, it would also be very difficult to shake off.
Feng He had just fed the Upper Realm Demon God with his own essence blood, and a trace of Qiu Daoping's essence blood was also swallowed by the Demon God. Both of them had now been tainted with a trace of the Demon God's divine sense.
If they were not careful in their future cultivation and appeared to have inner demons and were tempted by the Upper Realm Demon God, it was possible they would be controlled by the Demon God and fall into the demonic path, becoming demonic cultivators enslaved by him.
And these would accompany the cultivator for life. Even if you ascended to the Upper Realm, it was still possible to be found by the Demon God, unless you could find a way to shake off the Demon God's divine sense or your own cultivation exceeded the other party's to thoroughly eradicate the hidden danger.
However, compared to Feng He, who had a large amount of essence blood swallowed at once, Qiu Daoping only had a trace of essence blood swallowed. Except for being stared at by the Demon God's divine sense, there would be no other major impact for the time being.
And Feng He was not only stared at by the Upper Realm Demon God, but more than half of his own essence blood was also swallowed, which would at least cause him to lose over a hundred years of his own lifespan.
Feng He was originally a person who had seized a body, and his own lifespan calculated out was only a few hundred years left. Losing over a hundred years of lifespan at once was absolutely an enormous price that was difficult to bear for him.
At this moment, Feng He, being shone upon by the white light, not only had a very painful expression on his face, but his entire appearance also looked a bit more aged due to the excessive loss of essence blood.
Qiu Daoping, standing on the spot, scolded angrily and was about to step forward to stop Feng He's spell-casting, but the crimson sword light he swung had just approached Feng He when it was blocked by the transparent water mirror from earlier.
Seeing Feng He's aura suddenly begin to skyrocket and become somewhat different, Qiu Daoping suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Not wanting to entangle with him here, he turned and transformed into an escape light, fleeing toward the outside of the canyon.
Just as he flew to the sky above the canyon, Qiu Daoping swung his sword directly, immediately shaking the two major arrays outside until they were tottering.
Song Yuanli, who was helping to control the array, saw this and hurriedly threw two top-grade spirit stones he had already prepared into the array eye beside him, supplementing the spiritual energy lost by the array to quickly stabilize it.
One strike failed, and Qiu Daoping immediately swung his sword again to launch an attack. However, just as this second sword was swung, a mass of black energy suddenly flew out from below the canyon, directly covering Qiu Daoping and pulling him back into the canyon.
"What is this thing, what have you all done?"
After being tainted by these black energies, Qiu Daoping found that no matter how he cast spells, it was difficult to shake them off. For a moment, he also panicked.
And Feng He, also entwined by the black energy, had now arrived before him, revealing a somewhat triumphant smile toward him.
"Hehe! Junior Brother, those two major arrays above are not specifically used to trap you, but were set up by me specifically to block outsiders from coming in.
To deal with you, I have carefully prepared for hundreds of years, how could I let you escape easily.
Now that your essence blood has been swallowed by the Demon God, as long as the Demon God's divine sense is still here, you will absolutely not be able to escape."
Previously, he had thought Feng He had risked entering the secret realm to deal with Qiu Wuxin just to lure him here. It was not until this moment, hearing Feng He's explanation, that Qiu Daoping finally understood completely that the other party's plotting went far beyond that.
Seeing the Feng He before him, whose mind was so ruthless, Qiu Daoping suddenly felt a trace of strangeness, as if the person before him was someone he had never known.
"Senior Brother Feng, I was indeed sorry for what happened back then, but I was also forced to take action against you for the sake of the sect's grand plan.
If you hadn't been so stubborn back then and had been willing to cooperate with other sects, perhaps the subsequent things wouldn't have happened, and you and I would still be fellow sect brothers.
Now that so many years have passed, you and I are both people in our twilight years with no hope for the Dao path, there is really no need to fight to the death over this little bit of power.
If Senior Brother is willing, I can resign from the position of Supreme Elder and exchange the sect's power for you. How about we return to Falling Maple Valley together?"
After being tainted by the black energy and finding it difficult to escape for a moment, Qiu Daoping, facing the Feng He before him whose momentum was somewhat fierce, gradually felt a bit of fear in his heart.
Feng He, whose cultivation was originally only at the third layer of Nascent Soul, after being shone upon by the Demon God's giant white eye, saw the pressure radiated from his body suddenly increase several times compared to before, vaguely approaching the late stage of Nascent Soul.
Qiu Daoping, who had little confidence in being able to defeat his opponent, also changed his attitude at this moment and made a compromise to Feng He, wanting to try to negotiate peace with the other party.
However, facing Qiu Daoping's request for peace, Feng He replied slowly and indifferently: "Junior Brother, you are truly fickle. Could it be that you think I am still the Feng Tianyuan of back then, who would remember old feelings and let you go?
What kind of bullshit sect righteousness, don't think I don't know why you were willing to betray me and take action back then.
Let me tell you, the Feng Tianyuan of Falling Maple Valley died long ago, and I have long since stopped caring about these things. Standing before you now is just someone who seized another's body and cultivated demonic path techniques! Five hundred years of day and night inner demons, how could they be eliminated by a casual word from you? If it weren't to grind you to dust, I fear I wouldn't have lived to this day."
After Feng He finished speaking, a trace of ruthlessness immediately radiated from his gaze, and then he began to cast spells with one hand, taking out a giant long spear from the black energy entwining him, standing in mid-air like a Demon God.
Seeing a powerful pressure coming from before Feng He, who was already gathering black spiritual light and preparing to launch an attack, Qiu Daoping also knew that the other party would not easily let him go. He immediately put aside the thought of making peace, his expression changing again to reveal a trace of ruthlessness.
"Today was indeed my carelessness that led me into your trap, which can be considered as fulfilling the karma of not thoroughly finishing you off back then.
I originally thought that since we were all fellow sect members, we could sit down and talk to resolve it ourselves, without having to fight to the death, but some things always go against one's wishes.
Since Senior Brother is still unwilling to let go, then I have no other choice. Eliminating demons and defending the Dao should not be my business alone!"
After Qiu Daoping finished speaking, his gaze also became very firm, and he again cast a spell to take out a golden token the size of a palm from his body.
This token was exquisitely crafted. Besides the beautiful patterns carved around it, the two large golden characters "Tianhai" were written in the middle. It was the "Tianhai Order" held only by Qiu Daoping and a few other Nascent Soul Elders of the Tianhai Alliance. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 788 =====
