However, to Qin Shi's disappointment, there was another cave behind that wall. The size of that cave was dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the one he was currently in. That cave was branching out in all directions, and there were even bejeweled jade palaces and all kinds of marks of the Fiendish Devil Race. At the center of that cave was a stone pillar that connected the sky to the ground. There was a huge totem of a Blood Mist Demon Eye engraved on that stone pillar. It was undoubtedly the symbol of the Pi Group.
Qin Shi's eyes narrowed. "Finally found it?"
Although he couldn't find the source of the Dream Manipulation Technique, he was almost certain that this underground cave was the base of the Puppet Group in the Human Realm.
He thought to himself, "It's here. The image that Zi Lingsha showed me was also in the Endless Darkness. At that time, I didn't understand. If the Phantom Court was the base of the Puppet Group, why would they choose such a dark and damp place to build such a huge city? So it turns out that the Phantom Court was not their base at all. It was just a shield. They moved their base here. No wonder we couldn't find any clues in the Phantom Court."
"Yes, let's do it like this. With the Serene Court Palace acting as a cover above, even if the Serene Court Palace is discovered, they can still pass through the underground protection and not be exposed. Moreover, I can sense that there's an enormous power that covers the entire underground. Not to mention the Serene Court Palace, even if the Domain Masters of the eight regions were to come here, they wouldn't be able to sense it at all. Only those hidden old monsters of the Human World or existences at the Transcendent Realm would be able to sense it."
Qin Shi frowned. "You said that there are hidden old monsters in the Human Realm?
What are you referring to? "
The demon froze for a moment before realizing that he had said the wrong thing. He seemed to be very unwilling to mention it to Qin Shi. However, the more he acted this way, the more Qin Shi pressed him. "Is there something that even I can't say?"
Seeing that Qin Shi kept asking, the demon sighed. "It's not that I can't say it, but I don't think it's necessary for you to know right now. Moreover, I'm not sure about this matter."
"What is it exactly?"
"Actually, ten thousand years ago, when the Divine Weapon was sealed, the Human World was actually far more prosperous than it is now. Although the Cultivation World was not strong enough to compete with the Puppet Group, it was not as strong as it is today, allowing the Puppet Group to run rampant in the Human World. However, the incident with the Divine Weapon caused great damage to the Cultivation World. At that time, the Eight Regions, and not only the Eight Regions, but also some secluded cultivators above the Realm Realm who were not part of the Eight Regions and were pursuing the Path of Immortality, all mixed into the Cultivation World. Countless powerful cultivators fell, and the war continued."
"To be honest, I was also sealed at that time. I could only vaguely feel those few auras. They were existences at the Transcendent Realm. In addition, because of the divine artifact, my seal fluctuated a little. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known. But then, all the auras suddenly disappeared, including the divine artifact. Later on, I found out that the divine artifact had been sealed. However, those almighty experts at the Transcendent Realm also disappeared. I still can't figure this out."
Hearing this, Qin Shi frowned. He really didn't know anything about this. All he knew was that the Divine Tool was sealed, but he didn't know that the Human Realm was once so prosperous.
"However, I'm not sure if they died along with the Divine Tool. I don't want to tell you because I don't want to hurt you."
Hearing this, Qin Shi smiled bitterly. He thought that this was already a big blow.
Then, he fell silent for a while. In fact, he was thinking that he hoped those Almighties were still alive. After all, it would be a great blessing for the Human Realm. However, he also understood that in the past 10,000 years, the Ma Group had invaded the Human Realm, but they hadn't appeared. The possibility of this happening was not high.
Suddenly, Qin Shi smiled confidently. "It's not a blow. Haven't I walked through all these years like this?
One after another, those with higher realms appeared. Then, didn't I walk through them one after another? "
"Don't worry, I won't give up. Whether it's for me or for you, so what if they are Transcendent Realm experts?
Even if there are higher realms above Transcendent Realm, so what?
It's fine. Don't worry, I won't retreat. "Qin Shi patted his chest and threw the matter of the so-called hidden Almighties to the back of his mind.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the nefarious devil revealed a somewhat strange expression. This caused Qin Shi to involuntarily feel apprehensive. "Don't tell me that I've really hit the mark?"
The evil demon shrugged. "I don't know. Take your time and see for yourself. In any case, you said that you won't be defeated."
The corners of Qin Shi's mouth twitched. He regretted it in his heart. He really shouldn't have boasted. Wasn't he just creating trouble for himself for no reason?
"Forget it. Who cares."
Qin Shi stretched and focused. "The most important thing now is to solve the matter of the Serene Court Hall. Then, we'll destroy this nest of bandits and find out the whereabouts of Feng Hen."
After saying this, he fixed his gaze on the rubble.
He understood that no matter how bad it was, the Ominous Demon was still at the Demonic Arrow level and had a cultivation of the Great Success Domain Realm. It was impossible to kill him with just a few rubble. He couldn't help but put his hands behind his back and move his fingers back and forth, forming a mysterious formation.
Bang!
Suddenly, a rock exploded from the rubble. Just as Qin Shi had expected, the rubble didn't cause any harm to the evil demon. However, it had clearly angered the evil demon. Its eyes were bloodshot as it glared at Qin Shi. Its claws spat out a bloody light as if it wanted to tear Qin Shi apart alive.
"Brat, I'll kill you!"
After saying this, the evil demon spat out thick black flames from its mouth. It leapt up and pounced towards Qin Shi.
Qin Shi sneered. The fingers behind his back froze and formed a strange hand seal that no one had seen before. Even the evil demon frowned when it saw this.
Qin Shi suddenly stretched out his hand seal and smiled. "Big guy, do you remember what I said just now?"
"I don't care what you said!"
Qin Shi smiled as he shook his head. "What a joke. If you remember, you might still be able to live. But since you remember, then … die!"
After he finished speaking, his black pupils turned into a single point, and a golden flame suddenly appeared in his black pupils. In the end, the flame materialized and shot out, causing people's hearts to palpitate. The flame wrapped around his body, and during the process, his own Spiritual Energy produced a strong resonance. At that moment, a martial art that he hadn't used for many years began to circulate crazily in his mind.
The martial art was called the God Symbol Formula.
His Sea of Consciousness and Dantian were both occupied by the Divine Character Formula.
His Spiritual Energy and Soul Energy had actually fused together at this moment. What was different from before was that there wasn't the slightest bit of repulsion between his Spiritual Energy and Soul Energy, nor did any cracks appear. On the contrary, they were like good friends who had forgotten their age as they converged together in an extremely tacit manner. In the end, it formed a purple-gold sea of flames around Qin Shi's body.
The purplish-gold color of the sea of flames didn't separate. It was purple with gold, and gold with purple.
Feeling this power, the Nefarious Demons were in an uproar. "Brat, this power, is it fusion?"
The corners of Qin Shi's mouth curled into a proud smile as he shrugged noncommittally.
"Heavens, brat, when did you reach this level?"
The Nefarious Demons exclaimed. This fusion was a world of difference from the fusion of Spiritual Energy and Soul Energy that Qin Shi had displayed previously. The former was just mixing two completely different things together. At most, it could be called a quantitative change, and the power of the quantitative change was extremely small. However, the latter could definitely be called a qualitative change, a change in the essence. The former was still Spiritual Energy, and Soul Energy was still Soul Energy. It was just that they were forcefully placed in a space by Qin Shi. As for the latter, Spiritual Energy was no longer Spiritual Energy, and Soul Energy was no longer Soul Energy. It was a completely new power, a mutated power.
This level could definitely be called terrifying.
Qin Shi smiled and said, "Actually, I already had this idea when I met Senior Clay Bodhisattva, but I never tried it. Ever since the end of the Talisman Demon Competition, I have been thinking of ways to improve myself. At that time, I was at a bottleneck and couldn't break through, so I thought of this method. I didn't expect that I would really succeed in the end."
"Brat, you're really scary. You even hid it from me?"
Qin Shi's face was full of black lines. "How could I hide it from you?
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for sleeping too much every day and not caring about me at all. "
The demon didn't argue with Qin Shi and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. This is really not bad. No wonder you have the confidence to fight against the power of Heaven Shrouding. If you have this fusion, it won't be a problem to deal with the power of Heaven Shrouding's replication."
Qin Shi nodded and said, "However, this is also thanks to the God Character Formula. This martial art is really too scary. I didn't study it carefully, so I didn't know it. The creator of this martial art was simply a genius. He was like a huge turnaround machine. He was not afraid of Spiritual Power and Soul Power. It was also because of him that I could succeed."
"This is also your ability and also your opportunity. If you use this martial art well, you will definitely become a god in the future."
Qin Shi didn't object to this at all.
Facing the power created by Qin Shi, the demon also stared at him. The demon's eyes were no longer calm and were filled with endless fear. "Brat, brat, what is this power?"
"What power?"
Qin Shi's face was filled with mockery and ridicule. Following that, he extended his hand forward. After that, the space behind him was actually torn apart in an instant. The power that blotted out the sky instantly crumbled. What shot out from within was an endless amount of golden dragon balls that caused people to tremble in fear. However, those dragon balls were no longer the same as before. They were dragon balls that contained the power of a true dragon. They were dragon balls that contained the power of a true dragon.
