Cursed Land

The Fallen Devil Land is vast, stretching as far as the eye can see!

Devilish Qi surges all around, Void Realm storms rage, and unyielding Battle Intent pierces the heavens.

Amidst the ruins and destruction, some dilapidated walls and broken bricks can still be vaguely seen.

It can be foreseen that these ancient buildings were extremely magnificent in their Peak period.

There are traces of ancient Formation patterns imprinted.

Unfortunately, under the erosion of time, all these things have become ancient.

They swayed alone in the wind, like the light of a dying candle, capable of turning into a handful of dust at any moment.

Zhong Qing advanced deep into the Fallen Devil Land.

In just an instant, his figure disappeared at the end of the world!

...

At the same time, under a dilapidated broken mountain, a woman in purple clothes was cultivating to expel the Devilish Qi from her body.

The woman's age was indiscernible, yet her face was truly a peerless beauty!

Her features were delicate, her figure graceful, and a purple robe added a touch of sensuality and charm to her.

Her name is Yue Ji!

She is the Grand Elder of Flying Immortal Gate, an old antique who has lived for nearly ten thousand years!

Her own strength is extremely formidable, a Three Yin Three Realm Great Perfection expert.

She is only one step away from Three Yang!

Under the crumbling cliff, Yue Ji's body burst forth with profound light, like a purple star.

As she circulated the spiritual power throughout her body, her Qi and blood surged like the Jianghu.

Strands of Devilish Qi seeped out from within her body.

After a long time, Yue Ji ceased her cultivation.

A hint of trepidation flashed in her eyes.

“This Devilish Qi is truly terrifying!”

“It's like a maggot attached to the bone, penetrating everywhere!”

“With my strength, I can't completely expel it!”

Her face was unsightly, so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it.

The reason Yue Ji came here was because she had stayed in the Three Yin Three Realm for too long.

As long as three thousand years!

The Fallen Devil Land, though a forbidden place.

However, extreme Yin produces Yang, and extreme Yang produces Yin.

Any perilous and forbidden land in the world must contain astonishing Opportunity.

Therefore, she wanted to come here to seek Opportunity and see if she could find a Breakthrough Opportunity.

But since she stepped into the Fallen Devil Land, two full years have passed.

She still gained nothing.

Instead, she was injured by the remaining ancient Formation here.

This led to her being corroded by Devilish Qi.

Although the injury was not severe, the Devilish Qi that entered her body was extremely troublesome.

Expel a trace, and another trace emerges.

Endless, ceaseless.

And now she has fallen into a very awkward situation.

If she were to leave like this, it would actually be even harder to dispel the Devilish Qi in her body in the outside world.

At worst, her path would be cut off and her cultivation would regress; at worst, her humanity would be extinguished, she would suffer Qi Deviation, and become a demon that only knows slaughter, without consciousness.

If she stays, there might be a glimmer of hope.

But if she stays, the calamity of the Devilish Qi in her body, as she remains in this environment, will likely worsen with increasing corrosion.

Neither leaving nor staying is an option!

This also shows that this area is not for ordinary people to set foot in.

“Perhaps, finding the demon source stone is the only way to seek a glimmer of hope!”

Yue Ji murmured.

This demon source stone is a treasure of the Demonic Path, with the marvelous ability to suppress and clear Devilish Qi.

However, she had been wandering around this area for two years.

Let alone the demon source stone, she hadn't found anything of value.

The hope of finding this treasure is quite slim.

Of course, since it concerns her own life, even if it's like searching for a needle in a haystack, she must go and find it.

Just then, amidst the surging Devilish mist, from behind a dilapidated rock, a figure approached.

“Who?”

Yue Ji tensed up, asking cautiously.

The one who appeared here was Zhong Qing.

He didn't expect to see anyone in such a godforsaken place.

Could this person be here for the True Demon Inheritance?

This place was simply too vast.

His Divine Sense was severely obstructed.

He had searched for several days, like a headless fly.

Let alone the True Demon Inheritance grounds, he hadn't even seen a single ghost.

Perhaps he could ask the other party for directions.

Zhong Qing came before Yue Ji.

He cupped his hands and said, “I am Zhong Qing, may I ask if Your Excellency knows the True Demon Inheritance grounds?”

Yue Ji frowned slightly.

“Why do you seek this place?”

It was not surprising that she asked this.

The True Demon Legacy can only be obtained by descendants of the Demon Race.

She observed Zhong Qing and saw no Devilish Qi on him.

Even if he found it, he would be unable to accept this Legacy.

He wouldn't even be able to enter the Legacy grounds.

Zhong Qing replied, “The reasons are inconvenient to elaborate on.”

“If you know, please show me the way.”

“I would be extremely grateful!”

Yue Ji pondered for a moment, then said faintly, “The True Demon Legacy grounds are located deep within the Fallen Devil Land.”

“From here, head straight north, and you will see an altar.”

“Enter from there, and you will reach the True Demon Legacy grounds.”

“However, the deeper you go, the denser the Devilish Qi becomes, making it very easy to be corroded.”

“Not just anyone can enter.”

“If there's no need, I advise you not to go deep into it, otherwise, if Devilish Qi enters your body, you will regret it too late.”

Yue Ji was not one to talk much.

However, she observed Zhong Qing's extraordinary demeanor.

Young in age, yet able to move freely through this Devilish mist, his cultivation must be considerable.

For such a young junior, she genuinely did not wish to see him perish in such a place, which is why she offered a few extra pointers.

Zhong Qing smiled, “Thank you for the reminder, but I have a reason that compels me to go.”

Seeing that the other party was insistent, Yue Ji said no more.

Her guidance thus far was already benevolent and righteous.

As for how Zhong Qing chose, that was his business and no longer concerned her.

Just then, in the Void Realm, Devilish Qi surged.

The surging Devilish Qi converged into a tide.

It broke through the Void Realm.

Space-time was directly torn open, creating a large crack of over ten zhang.

“Awooo…”

Bursts of roaring sounds came.

Then, a black shadow swept past, and more than ten Void Realm Demon Wolves darted out from the crack, heading straight for Zhong Qing and Yue Ji.

The Fallen Devil Land, for ordinary beings, might be a forbidden and perilous zone.

But the abundance of Devilish Qi was enough to nurture some unusual creatures.

These Void Realm Demon Wolves were among them.

Each of them was quite strong, ranging from Earth Profound to Heaven Profound.

The Fallen Devil Land being fraught with danger had almost become a consensus throughout the Northern Region.

Leaving aside the surging Devilish Qi, which ordinary people simply couldn't withstand.

Then there were the remaining Battle Intent and killing intent, which were also quite terrifying.

Besides that, the demonic creatures in the Fallen Devil Land were even more of a headache.

It could be said that ordinary creatures entering this area would definitely not survive a day.

Of course, this level of threat was nothing to Zhong Qing.

Just as he was about to act and kill these Void Realm Demon Wolves, he suddenly thought of his third Disciple.

If that guy were here, how would he react?

He would probably be extremely cowardly, suppressing his cultivation as much as possible.

Afraid that others would know his true strength.

As he thought this, Zhong Qing didn't know if he was influenced by him, but he subconsciously suppressed his cultivation to the Three Yin One Realm.

He then unleashed an assault on the Void Realm Demon Wolves.

Even with his cultivation suppressed, he dealt with these Void Realm Demon Wolves with remarkable ease.

It was like swatting down children with a single palm.

His posture was extremely relaxed.

Yue Ji, on her side, although she had suffered some minor injuries earlier.

But as the saying goes, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse.

Her methods were not something that a few mere Void Realm Demon Wolves could provoke.

Soon, under the combined efforts of the two, all more than ten Void Realm Demon Wolves were completely annihilated.

However, after witnessing Zhong Qing's methods, ripples began to stir in Yue Ji's heart.
