After leaving the mountain range, Qin Shi's group of four quickly shuttled through the spatial tunnel.
The spatial tunnel was decorated with stars, but the four of them didn't seem to be in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery. They all had different expressions of contemplation on their faces.
They had indeed experienced a lot on this trip, especially for Qin Shi. The Heaven Shrouding Fate Soul and Liu Ya's huge demonic body still flashed through his mind. He clenched his fists tightly at the thought.
In fact, the feeling of helplessness he felt when he fought Su Tiao in the end had become extremely strong.
"Half a year. I'll only give myself half a year. I must reach the Domain Realm!"
Qin Shi swore in his heart.
Reaching the Domain Realm in half a year. If others heard this, they would probably be shocked.
Qin Shi was only at the peak of the Nine Heavens. He was still nine realms away from the Domain Realm. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be for him to make nine consecutive breakthroughs in half a year.
"Lad, based on your current situation, you should be able to fight against a perfected Domain Realm expert as long as you reach the Heaven Realm, even if you don't reach the Domain Realm," said the nefarious demon.
After all, Qin Shi's battle prowess wasn't determined by his cultivation level.
However, Qin Shi shook his head. "No. If I add the Curse Puppet Realm to the Heaven Fate Realm, I can indeed fight against a perfected Domain Realm expert.
"However, if I can make a breakthrough in half a year, so can Su Tiao. His talent is the most extraordinary I've seen so far. You must remain vigilant against someone like him. Reaching the Domain Realm is already the bottom line."
The nefarious demon nodded. Su Tiao's talent was indeed shocking. It was impossible for him to stop improving in half a year. Therefore, Qin Shi's choice was undoubtedly correct.
"Furthermore, my true opponent isn't as simple as Su Tiao. That old dog will definitely think of a way to kill me. I must leave a backup plan."
Hearing those words, the Evil Demon looked at Qin Shi strangely. Soon after, it smiled in a gratified manner, "It seems that you have grown a lot in this year."
Qin Shi shrugged helplessly. "When there's more pressure, things will naturally change."
"Alright, don't give yourself too much pressure. Your current rate of growth is already extraordinary. Give me half a year to recuperate. If it really doesn't work out in the end, I'll just take action on your behalf and sweep away all the tigers that stand in your way."
As he said that, the Demonic Change State was extremely domineering. "Just a few little kids from the Sword Sect, they are not enough to make me fear anything."
Qin Shi believed the words of the fiend. Based on the battle between the fiend and the Life Soul, even Zhang Hun wouldn't be his match if he was given half a year to recuperate, right?
But very quickly, he shook his head resolutely. "If it isn't necessary, I'd still like to settle my own matters personally."
The nefarious demon was taken aback for a moment before it smiled and said, "Alright, I promise I won't make a move unless I have no other choice."
"Yes."
Qin Shi's black eyes flashed fiercely, "Zhang Hun, Su Tiu, let's wait and see."
"Meow!
Meow! "
All of a sudden, a delicate cry woke Qin Shi up.
Qin Shi hurriedly turned around, only to see Qing 'er hugging Meow' er with a pale face. Meow 'er's body was constantly twitching, and its jade face was constantly changing between green and purple. Even its aura was becoming weaker and weaker.
"What happened?"
"I … I don't know."
Qing 'er was so anxious that she was crying. "She was fine just now, but suddenly she said she was a little sleepy, so I let her lie on my back and rest. But after resting for a while, I realized that her body temperature had started to become cold, and when I turned around, she became like this."
"Cold body temperature?" Qin Shi frowned. This was not a good sign.
"Big Bro Qin Shi, quick, take a look, is Meow 'er alright?" Qing' er did not want to see her sister get into trouble after the storm.
Qin Shi took Meow from Qing 'er's arms and put a touch of psychic power on Meow's pulse and into her body. However, when he looked at Meow, his black eyes could not help but flash with surprise.
He did not notice it before, but now he realized that Meow's body was in such a mess. Not to mention the dislocation of her internal organs, hundreds of meridians in her body were all blocked, and her blood had formed huge clots, accumulating in her blood vessels.
This kind of injury, even for a powerful figure above Eight Heavens, was very likely to be fatal. This little girl only had a mortal body, how could she survive for so long?
Qin Shi looked at this little girl's perseverance in a new light.
"Boy, this little girl has been swallowed by the Life Spirit for more than 20 years, and her body has been changed by the Life Spirit. Now, although the Life Spirit is no longer there, the remaining evil aura is enough to kill her. The reason why her body temperature has become cold is also because of the evil aura." The evil spirit shouted.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. There was no need for others to tell him how serious the evil aura was left in her body.
"Damn it, I thought that as long as I forced the Life Spirit out, Meow 'er would be fine, but it seems that I have underestimated the Life Spirit."
"Use the Immortal Immortal Fruit!"
Qin Shi nodded and reached out his hand to Qing 'er. "Give me the Immortal Immortal Fruit."
"Okay!"
Qing 'er was stunned. This was related to Meow's safety, and she was unwilling to delay. She hurriedly handed the Immortal Immortal Fruit to Qin Shi.
After receiving the Immortal Immortal Fruit, Qin Shi heard a howl coming from within his body. The Blood Shaman hurriedly retreated into the Explosive Flame Pearl.
"Brat, what the hell are you doing now!"
"Shut up!" With a human life at stake, Qin Shi could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll shut up. Then I'll go back. You better never call me out again!" The Blood Shaman angrily scolded.
"Coward!"
Qin Shi glared at him. But it was no wonder. The Immortal Immortal Fruit was the strongest spiritual herb since ancient times. The Nefarious Demon was one of the two Demon Sovereigns. His bloodline was so strong that even the Immortal Immortal Fruit could not do anything about it. However, the Blood Shaman was different.
"Whoosh!"
Qin Shi took a deep breath. He recalled the scene of this little girl standing in front of him without any regard for her life. Now that he thought about it, he was extremely touched.
Therefore, he would not allow anything to happen to such a kind girl.
"Brat, divide the Immortal Immortal Fruit into nine portions and inject them into her nine spiritual veins. Protect her dantian first. Only then will there be hope."
Qin Shi acknowledged and began to do as the Nefarious Demon said.
He used his Soul Spirit to divide the Immortal Immortal Fruit into nine portions. Only then did he slowly inject a gentle force into Meow 'er's delicate body.
Looking at Qin Shi's actions, Qing 'er clenched her jade-like hands and broke out in a cold sweat.
The worry on her face was self-evident.
Yu Yue hugged Qing 'er from the side.
"Yue, Meow 'er will be fine, right?"
Yu Yue clenched her fists and nodded. "Yes, definitely. With Qin Shi here, he won't let anything happen to Meow 'er."
As soon as his telekinesis entered Meow 'er's body, Qin Shi couldn't help but frown. The remnant Evil Qi made him very uncomfortable.
"Nefarious Demon, can you disperse this Evil Qi?"
"It's such a waste."
The Nefarious Demon curled its lips and suddenly jumped out of his arm. It turned into a black Qilin the size of a palm. However, although the Qilin was small, when it opened its bloody mouth, it immediately created a black vortex that seemed like it could swallow the sky. All the Evil Qi in Meow 'er's body was instantly frightened. Like a street rat, it fled in all directions.
"Want to run?"
The Nefarious Demon laughed mockingly. Suddenly, it leaped forward and continuously activated the five vortexes in Meow 'er's body. The power of the five vortexes sealed the Evil Qi from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, all the Evil Qi was absorbed by the Nefarious Demon.
And when the Evil Qi disappeared, Qin Shi clearly felt that Qin Shi's aura had become much clearer. He was slightly surprised. "Your injuries have healed?"
"Not completely healed, but there shouldn't be any major problems now."
The Nefarious Demon licked its lips greedily. This made the Nefarious Demon smile helplessly. "What a freak."
"If it was any other Evil Qi, perhaps it wouldn't have such an effect. But Zhe Tian's Evil Qi Bloodline is very pure. That's why it has such an effect."
Then, the Nefarious Demon laughed arrogantly. "Haha, this time, little fellow, you can go ahead without worry. Not to mention this small Sword Sect, even if it's the entire human world, as long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid!"
Qin Shi's heart warmed. Although he didn't intend to borrow the Nefarious Demon's power, the Nefarious Demon's words still touched him.
He knew that even though the Nefarious Demon had recovered a lot, in the end, he would still have to face an existence on par with the Nefarious Demon. Therefore, he still needed to become stronger.
Only then would he be able to contend against the Puppet Group.
The human world?
This was just the beginning.
Of course, the Evil Devil King's next action caused Qin Shi to be extremely surprised. The baleful aura circulated through the Evil Devil King's body, but it did not completely devour it. Instead, it deliberately kept a portion of it. After refining it, it turned into a baleful aura pill and slowly spat it out from its mouth.
"Little fellow, this is for you." The Nefarious Demon's voice was transmitted to the Explosive Flame Pearl.
The Blood Shaman, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly rushed out excitedly when he saw the Evil Qi Pill. "This, this is really for me?"
"If you don't want it, I'll devour it all."
"I-I want it!"
The Blood Shaman hurriedly snatched the Evil Qi Pill from Devouring Heaven's hands. Theoretically, the Blood Shaman didn't have the right to devour Zhe Tian's Evil Qi. However, after being refined by the Nefarious Demon, it was completely different.
To the Blood Shaman, Zhe Tian's Evil Qi Pill was undoubtedly the best tonic in the world. The Nefarious Demon's eyes were filled with greed.
"Thank you, Devouring Heaven Demon Venerable."
"In the future, I should help this kid more."
The Nefarious Demon curled its lips and said, "I can tell that the Space Boundary in the Explosive Flame Pearl has reached a bottleneck, right?
Devouring this Infernal Aura Pill should help you break through to the Nine Heavens. With the power of the Void Ancient Demon, the Phantom Aura Ring, and the ancient formation left behind by the True Phoenix Clan, it shouldn't be difficult for you to reopen the void. "
Hearing this, the Blood Shaman was shocked and looked awkwardly at Qin Shi.
"Bottleneck?"
This was the first time Qin Shi had heard of this since the Blood Shaman began to study the Space Boundary in the Explosive Flame Pearl.
However, as his psyche power circulated, Qin Shi was slightly shocked to find that the Blood Shaman's hands were filled with wounds that were so deep that the bones could be seen.
The wound was not caused by a sharp weapon, but more like it was caused by an explosion.
