273: Chapter 273 Little Black and the Demon!

One of the men was tall and handsome; even when his wings were folded, he carried a natural air of elegance and sharpness.

His name was Feng Ling, a True King Descendant and the strongest prodigy of the Storm Winged People in this Hidden Dragon Assembly!

The other was a woman with a face of peerless beauty and eyes full of cleverness and agility. Her silver wings were slightly unfurled, making her look exceptionally nimble.

She was Feng Ling, the twin sister of Feng Ling.

"Feng Ling," Feng Ling said, her eyes fixed on the direction where Qin Yan had disappeared. "If you didn't use a spirit weapon and relied only on your own cultivation and skills, would you have a chance of winning against that human man just now?"

"Call me brother, don't just use my name!"

Feng Ling glanced helplessly at his sister and corrected her.

They were fraternal twins, but there was always a first and second born; Feng Ling always considered himself the elder brother.

"I won't,"

Feng Ling pursed her lips and said in a coy voice, "We clearly arrived at the exact same time. I don't believe you were even a tiny bit earlier than me!"

Feng Ling was long used to this dispute. Knowing he couldn't win over his sister, he sighed and brought the topic back on track. "That man's strength is unfathomable.

Just now, he only revealed two strands of Blood Gang and some blood-qi pressure. He didn't even make a move, so it's hard to accurately judge his depth."

He paused, a thoughtful look flashing in his silver eyes. "However, to be able to step into the Third Grade Limit realm about a month after the assembly started, his talent, perseverance, and fortune must be of the highest caliber.

A person like this, no matter which race he belongs to, should be a radiant core prodigy..."

Feng Ling frowned slightly, showing some confusion. "And yet, I have absolutely no impression of this person!

Whether it's the priority lists in our intelligence or the rising stars of various races I've heard of before, none have a description that matches him."

Hearing this, Feng Ling gently flapped her wings, creating a slight breeze. "Of course you haven't heard of him.

Looking at his physique, aura, and bone structure, he differs from the mainstream races of our Eternal Song Star Realm.

If I'm not mistaken, he should be a human from another world who was invited to participate in this competition."

Although Feng Ling's strength was average, she had loved reading since childhood and possessed a wealth of knowledge.

"A human from another world?"

Feng Ling realized and nodded. "No wonder... It seems this assembly has more variables than expected."

"Alright, let's not discuss that person anymore."

Feng Ling withdrew her gaze and looked toward the northern horizon, where an ancient and vast aura vaguely emanated. "We should set off for the Jade Court. I hope this time, we can find our own opportunities in those ruins."

At the mention of the "Jade Court," even someone as proud as Feng Ling had a flicker of solemnity and anticipation in his eyes.

The Jade Court is located in the core region of the Northern World of the Canglin Ancient Peak!

It is not simply a ruin of palaces, but a massive complex of lost ruins with a history dating back to ancient times.

This place is not only the largest and most dangerous forbidden zone in the Northern World, but it is also one of the places in past Hidden Dragon Assemblies with the most opportunities, the fiercest competition, and the highest likelihood of a legend being born!

Countless rare ancient treasures, lost secret techniques, and even legendary holy items might be buried here.

However, opportunity always coexists with danger.

The Jade Court is full of crises and dense restrictions.

In previous assemblies, countless arrogant prodigies have met their downfall, leaving their lives forever within that jade-colored court.

"Yes, time waits for no one. Let's go."

The two of them no longer delayed. Their wings beat simultaneously, creating a strong airflow as they turned into two streaks of light, racing toward the depths of the Northern World in the direction of the Jade Court.

...

After leaving the Blood River area, Qin Yan did not stop.

Guided by the map in his memory and combined with the prominent landscape features he identified along the way, he ran quickly toward the location of the Jade Court.

After all, the holy grail of life was inside a palace within the Jade Court.

Along the way, there was naturally no shortage of the Evil Spirits that were everywhere in the Ancient Yue.

Qin Yan took this opportunity to familiarize himself with and temper his newly acquired power.

Facing a Third-Rank Peak Evil Spirit that roared and pounced from the shadows of the dense forest, Qin Yan didn't even use his long spear.

He simply raised his right hand calmly, palm upward, with a slight thought.

"Buzz..."

A miniature black vortex with flickering pitch-black patterns on its edges appeared out of thin air above his palm.

It rotated slowly, emitting a strange suction force.

The pouncing Evil Spirit seemed to sense a fatal threat. An instinctive fear flashed in its crimson eyes, and it tried to stop its momentum, but it was too late.

The black vortex trembled slightly.

"Poof!"

That powerful Third-Rank Peak Evil Spirit was like a bubble crushed by an invisible giant hand.

Its entire body instantly exploded silently, turning into countless wisps of pure grayish-black Evil energy!

This energy was not absorbed by the purification ring or naturally dissipated as usual.

Instead, like swallows returning to their nest, they were sucked into the black vortex in Qin Yan's palm and instantly entered his body.

The Blood Demon Nest above his heart immediately began to operate efficiently.

This inhaled Evil energy passed through the red and black interlaced patterns inside the nest, circulating and refining until it transformed into a more pure dark energy.

Most of the dark energy merged into the depths of the nest, seemingly nourishing Little Black who resided within; Qin Yan could feel a sense of comfort and satisfaction from Little Black.

The other part, guided by the nest, began to polish and temper Qin Yan's skin!

Qin Yan could clearly see it.

On the surface of his exposed skin, such as his arms and chest, a layer of Profound patterns interlaced with dark red and fine black lines instantly emerged.

They flickered slightly like living things.

Bringing a strange sensation that was both burning and tingling.

The mysteries of the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture go far beyond Blood Refining!

Its true core lies in the two words "Blood" and "Demon"!

"Blood" naturally refers to blood-qi and life essence, which comes from the assistance of the Blood River, Blood Spirits, and supreme grade blood pills.

"But, the word 'Demon', and the existence of Little Black..."

Qin Yan still had doubts in his heart.

In his understanding, Little Black was clearly of the same origin as the Evil Spirits, yet the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture contained the word "Demon".

"What is a Demon? What is the relationship between Little Black and the Demon?"

This touched upon Qin Yan's blind spot of knowledge.

Unable to figure it out for now, Qin Yan stopped dwelling on it.

He looked down at the dark red and black patterns on his arm that appeared and disappeared with the flow of Evil energy, his brow furrowing slightly.

"These patterns... are truly a bit unsightly and too eye-catching."

With a thought, those eerie patterns on his skin quickly receded and vanished like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, they were gone, and his skin returned to its normal color.

"According to the description of the technique, when the skin of the entire body has been thoroughly tempered and reforged once, the dark red and black patterns will be able to cover the whole body, which will then represent the completion of the Skin reforging."
