330: Chapter 33 The Land of Chaotic Rocks!

With a slight thought, he circulated the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture!

"Boom—!!"

The Blood Demon Nest inside his body shuddered violently!

Dense patterns of interwoven blood-red and black appeared on his skin.

The Indestructible Blood Demon Body was inherently a symbiosis of blood and demon.

As a demonic plant of the Blood Demon Nest, Little Black's demonic energy was of the same origin as Qin Yan's.

At this moment, as Qin Yan activated his cultivation technique and released his own demonic nature, it immediately created a wondrous resonance with the Darkness Domain.

"Vroom..."

The suppressive force within the domain receded like a tide.

When those invisible black threads wrapped around his meridians touched Qin Yan's demonic aura, they scattered and dissolved like subjects encountering their king.

In just three breaths, Qin Yan's blood and Qi circulation returned to normal, and the sense of suppression vanished without a trace.

Little Black: "...?"

Several of Little Black's branches stopped in mid-air, conveying an emotion of confusion.

Immediately after, it seemed to understand something—the master was on its side, so how could its own demonic energy attack its own people?

Little Black stopped fueling the domain, and the demonic energy covering a three-hundred-meter radius slowly retracted, eventually only permeating within three zhang of the tree trunk.

Several of the thickest and toughest black branches, like ferocious demonic dragon whips, tore through the air, carrying ear-piercing shrieks and chilling demonic energy as they lashed out fiercely toward Qin Yan!

Even before the branches arrived, the accompanying gale and demonic pressure already made his skin sting!

Qin Yan's eyes narrowed; not daring to be careless, he brandished his long spear, turning it into an airtight curtain of spear shadows!

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang—!!!"

A dense explosion of metallic clashing sounds erupted! The long spear and the black branches collided violently, with every strike bursting into blinding sparks and ripples!

With every head-on clash, Qin Yan felt an overwhelming, mountain-heavy terrifying force surging through the spear shaft!

His arms shook violently, his hands went numb, and he retreated several steps with a "thud, thud, thud," each step leaving a deep footprint on the hard ground!

"What powerful physical strength!"

A flash of surprise crossed Qin Yan's eyes.

Little Black's strength far exceeded his expectations.

Just born and in its infancy, it could suppress him—a Third Grade Limit with 400 calories of blood and Qi—purely through physical strength.

If it were to grow up...

The light in Qin Yan's eyes burned fiercely: "In that case, I can... fight without holding back!"

The moment his voice fell—

"Buzz!!"

At the tip of the long spear, a dark red light of destruction suddenly condensed, compressed, and exploded!

Destructions End Spear Qi!

"Break!"

Qin Yan shouted and thrust his spear!

The dark red Spear Qi left the tip, turning into a three-foot-long torrent of destruction that slammed resolutely toward Little Black!

This time, Little Black finally moved.

Not to dodge, but to... meet it head-on!

"Crash—!!"

Several black branches swung simultaneously, weaving together in front of the tree trunk to form a thick "branch shield" over two zhang in diameter!

Demonic energy rolled over the shield's surface as countless fine black runes emerged and circulated, emitting an indestructible and heavy aura.

"Boom—!!!"

The Destructions End Spear Qi slammed heavily into the branch shield!

The shockwave sent debris flying within dozens of zhang, and the ground was plowed into deep furrows!

The stalemate lasted for about three breaths.

Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the branch shield.

But... it held!

Little Black waved its branches, conveying a smug emotion that said, "This move of yours is okay, but it's still a bit lacking."

A sharp glint flashed in Qin Yan's eyes.

"Then... again!"

"Boom boom boom boom—!!!"

The man and the tree engaged in an extremely fierce clash in this valley!

Qin Yan used every means at his disposal.

Destructions End Spear Qi poured out like a torrential rain.

The Unity killing move exploded with four times the power, the Spear Qi tearing through the sky.

And Little Black similarly displayed the terrifying combat power of a supreme demon race.

Its branches acted as both spears and whips, integrating offense and defense with astonishing strength.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

"Boom—!!"

One final collision.

Qin Yan was sent flying backward like a cannonball, slamming heavily into a giant boulder, which shattered instantly.

He sat slumped in the pile of rubble, his long spear having fallen from his hand, his blood and Qi churning.

On the other side, Little Black's overall aura remained vigorous, with black demonic energy billowing incessantly.

Clearly, it still had strength to spare.

"I can't win... not at all."

Qin Yan shook his head with a bitter smile.

Aside from not using the blood condensation life creation cauldron, he had used all his tricks.

Yet he was still suppressed by Little Black.

Was this the true worth of a supreme demon race?

A newborn hatchling already had combat power greater than the top experts among the Third Grade Limits.

If it were to reach adulthood...

Qin Yan didn't dare to imagine it.

Little Black waved its branches and hopped over to Qin Yan's side.

Sensing that Qin Yan's mood was a bit low, it extended two slender branches and gently patted Qin Yan's shoulder, conveying a sense of comfort.

Looking at this little black tree that had clearly just beaten him up but was now clumsily trying to comfort him, most of the frustration in Qin Yan's heart dissipated.

He reached out to touch Little Black's trunk and smiled:

"I'm fine."

"The stronger you are, the happier I am."

After all, Little Black was his companion demonic plant, a part of his body.

Little Black's strength was equivalent to his own.

After resting for a moment, Qin Yan sat up and crossed his legs to circulate the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture.

About half an hour later, Qin Yan's physical strength was fully restored.

He stood up and looked at Little Black, who was staying quietly by his side, occasionally poking a stone with a branch out of curiosity, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"The warm-up is over, and I've tested my strength enough."

Qin Yan whispered, "Now, it's time to get down to business."

He was going to the Craggy Territory!

During this time, he hadn't just been focused on hunting and cultivation; he had also used various channels to find out Feng Jin's recent movements.

After experiencing a setback on the outskirts of the Blood God Hall, Feng Jin seemed to have become even more violent and impatient.

Recently, he had been active in the Craggy Territory, hunting other prodigies and plundering points, attempting to make a final push for a higher ranking in the last stage of the assembly.

Now, his own strength had leaped forward again due to Little Black's birth, and he had Little Black as a powerful assistant.

His confidence in hunting down Feng Jin had gone from "ninety percent sure" to "one hundred percent sure"!

It was time to settle all old and new grudges!

"Little Black, let's go. I'll take you to... eat something 'good'."

A cold arc curled at the corner of Qin Yan's mouth.

Although Little Black didn't quite understand what "good" meant, it could feel the signals of "hunting" and "combat" from Qin Yan's thoughts. It immediately shook its branches excitedly, shrank in size, and turned into a streak of black light that merged back into Qin Yan's body.

Qin Yan picked up his long spear, identified the direction, and his figure turned into a gust of wind, racing toward the Craggy Territory!
