"Little fellow, don't think too much. Although I don't know what the Blood Cover is, it might really be very terrifying. However, the Blood Cover is definitely not something that can be opened easily. Otherwise, the Human Emperor would not have had a chance thirty thousand years ago. This Blood Cover definitely requires a lot of opportunities," the evil Demon said indifferently.
From its voice, it was not hard to hear that it was in pain. One could easily imagine that the Evil Demon had suffered quite a serious injury this time. It was just that it was trying its best to control itself so that Qin Shi could not hear it.
"Are you alright?" Qin Shi asked helplessly.
The evil Demon smiled bitterly. "It's not a big problem. It's just that I'm afraid I really cannot help you this time. With my current strength, I can barely help you seal this space. However, it will be difficult for me to split my attention to deal with Ming Xuan."
Qin Shi's eyes turned deep as if he had suddenly sunk into a long memory.
In Qin Shi's sea of consciousness, a dark-green light flickered occasionally. It seemed to contain an extremely profound power, forming a strange talisman seal.
Qin Shi smiled faintly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes. "Don't worry. You don't have to do anything this time. I will personally kill Ming Xuan."
The Evil Devil couldn't help but be stunned. For some reason, it actually sensed that Qin Shi was slightly different from before. It seemed as if Qin Shi had become a completely different person in that short hour.
When the evil Demon sensed Qin Shi's strength, it was suddenly startled. "Your Soul Energy has made a breakthrough?"
Qin Shi grinned. At this moment, he spread out his hands and a spiritual light flickered from his left hand. It was like an ancient tree with intertwining roots that connected to his dantian. On his other hand, there was a faint purple light, as if there were millions of souls gathered together.
The most shocking thing was that when these two energies appeared, they formed two different worlds.
"A spiritual world?" the evil Demon could not help but exclaim when it sensed the intertwining Soul Energy in Qin Shi's right hand.
Qin Shi nodded in agreement. In the sea of consciousness just now, Qin Shi had unexpectedly made a shortcut to the soul. Inside the sea of consciousness, there was actually a world of its own, and that world was quite different from Qin Shi's own world, as if everything had a soul.
"Soul World Realm … Kid, you've actually broken through to this level …!" The evil devil excitedly laughed.
One must know that there was a huge difference between the Soul World Realm and the ordinary World Realm. If it was said that Talisman Masters didn't possess any offensive ability under the World Realm, then this concept would be completely broken after reaching the Soul World Realm. After reaching the Soul World Realm, one's Soul Power would manifest and form a world. Most importantly, once one was enveloped by the Soul World Realm, the souls of all living beings would be restricted.
In ancient times, even Immortal Palace Realm forces would do their utmost to rope in a talisman fiend master who had reached the Soul Realm.
A Talisman Devil Master who had just entered the Soul World possessed the power to fight against a Soul World Advanced Realm expert.
Qin Shi felt the power wrapped around his hands and revealed a smile. "But no matter what, my soul cultivation has finally caught up."
To be honest, ever since Qin Shi shouldered the Heaven's Mandate, his spiritual power cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, but his soul power had been stagnant. During this period, Qin Shi had also felt helpless. However, advancing from the Curse Domain Realm to the Soul World Realm was the same as advancing from the Domain Realm to the World Realm, there was a huge shackle. The most helpless thing was that there were many opportunities in the deep sea, but they were all in terms of spiritual power, which caused his soul power to not make a breakthrough for a long time.
This unexpected epiphany had allowed his soul power to catch up.
Qin Shi had always been very interested in soul power. In the eyes of outsiders, soul power had weak offensive power, but because of the ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation, it had always been Qin Shi's most advantageous trump card.
Most importantly, Qin Shi had also grasped an extremely special martial art: Divine Character Formula.
The breakthrough of soul power was equivalent to the breakthrough of spiritual power to a certain extent. Spiritual power and soul power, these two mortal enemies, were like water and electricity. They were completely incompatible existences, but in Qin Shi's body, they blended together like milk.
"Now that I have reached the Soul World Realm, even if I encounter an ordinary transcendent realm expert, I will be able to fight against him. At the very least, I won't have to run away in a sorry state." Qin Shi felt the two worlds that belonged to him and said with his fists clenched.
"But these two powers are still a little lacking if they want to deal with Ming Xuan," the evil demon said indifferently.
Even though Qin Shi did not want to admit it, he still nodded helplessly. "Indeed. As the Hall Master of the thirteen palaces, Ming Xuan's methods are impressive. Most importantly, he has the Heaven and Earth Secret Array!"
If it was just Ming Xuan, Qin Shi did not feel much pressure. After all, Long Xu was still around. Although Long Xu had been severely injured, he possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Divine Beast and could recover quickly. If the evil demon did not make a move, Long Xu would be able to suppress Ming Xuan by himself. What worried Qin Shi was the Heaven and Earth Secret Array in Ming Xuan's hands, one of the Tri-Origin Absolute Arrays. This made Qin Shi unable to help but turn serious.
However, Qin Shi soon revealed a sinister smile. "If he really forces me into a corner, I will let him experience what is called a collision of worlds!"
The evil demon could not help being stunned. Then, it smiled faintly and said, "It looks like you already have a plan?"
Qin Shi did not say anything, only revealing a strange smile.
What the evil demon did not know was that what Qin Shi comprehended this time, aside from the Soul World, was an even more horrifying existence. This was something that Qin Shi had always yearned for but had not been able to do anything about.
Qin Shi was confident that once he used it, even the Heaven and Earth Secret Array would not be able to block the destruction of that thing.
Although no one had expected to encounter Zhe Tian's soul at the entrance of the barrier, it was fortunate that it did not cause any real damage.
Qin Shi and Long Yin helped Long Xu up together. Long Xu's injuries were very serious. Fortunately, the Evil Spirit was there to remove the Heaven Shrouding Baleful Qi that wrapped around the surface of Long Xu's body. Only then did Long Xu feel much more relaxed. Long Xu's expression became very serious. "I didn't think that Zhe Tian was also a person who bore the fate."
Qin Shi was not surprised by this. "The Human Sovereign Ancestor said that when he saw the fate matrix, he suffered from Zhe Tian's vicious attack. Zhe Tian should have known about the existence of the fate matrix long ago. It is not surprising that he inherited it."
"En, it seems that we have to hurry. Zhe Tian's blood mask is very likely a part of the fate matrix," Long Xu said solemnly.
Qin Shi nodded. Soon after, he focused his gaze on the void of the barrier. His black eyes suddenly turned cold and fierce.
"Now we have a chance to stop the Ming Group." Qin Shi laughed, flames seemingly shooting out of his eyes.
"It's been nearly twenty years, Ming Group. It's time to settle the scores between us. You guys have been chasing after me all this time. This time, it's time for me to fight back." Qin Shi was determined to make Ming Group pay the price this time.
"Senior Long Xu, you should recuperate first. Once your injuries are healed, we will enter the barrier." Qin Shi turned around and said.
No one knew what was going on inside the barrier. Hence, for safety's sake, Qin Shi and the rest did not enter immediately. Instead, they chose to wait for Long Xu to recover from his injuries. After all, in a situation where the Nefarious Demon could not attack, Long Xu was the one with the most combat power among them.
Long Xu nodded. Everyone quietly waited in the strait of a purple coral forest for half a month. Only after that did Long Xu's injuries gradually recover and some luster returned to his face.
"Little friend, I'm fine now. Let's go," Long Xu said.
Qin Shi nodded his head. Immediately, he leapt up. Other than recuperating from his dragon beard, Qin Shi did not remain idle during this half a month. He had been lingering around the boundary with the Evil Demon Spirit Race, keeping the space outside of the boundary in check and balance.
Qin Shi leapt to the entrance of the barrier. Looking at the gloomy black gas, he asked, "How is it?"
"It's almost done. I've already used the Devouring Void to cover this void, so it's in a state of neutralization. Spiritual energy can flow within it, but remember to be careful. Ming Xuan's methods are extraordinary, especially since he has the Heaven and Earth Secrets Array," the Nefarious Demon warned.
In order to keep the void in check, the Nefarious Demon could not enter the barrier with Qin Shi this time.
Qin Shi nodded seriously. He remembered every word the Nefarious Demon said. To be honest, this was the first time Qin Shi and the Nefarious Demon had split up, so it was inevitable that they would feel pressured. However, Qin Shi knew that he could not always rely on the Nefarious Demon. In the end, he had to rely on himself to fight against the Ming Group.
Especially after seeing how powerful Zhe Tian Yi Po was.
Zhe Tian Yi Po was right. If not for Qin Shi, the Nefarious Demon would have been able to reach the level of 12 divine elixirs over the past 20 years and be qualified to bear a Life Matrix. However, the Nefarious Demon had always given up on this opportunity to help Qin Shi. There were even a few times when Qin Shi wanted to help the Nefarious Demon reconstruct its physical body, but the Nefarious Demon had always given up.
Although the Nefarious Demon laughed and said that it was used to being in Qin Shi's body, it did not matter if it had a physical body or not. However, Qin Shi knew very well that the Nefarious Demon had given up on reconstructing its physical body because it had not stopped using its own bloodline to suppress the demonic blood in Qin Shi's body. It was also because of the Nefarious Demon that the demonic blood in Qin Shi's body had not erupted.
The Renhuang Demon Sealing Pearl had played a role, but without the Nefarious Demon's control, Qin Shi believed that he would have long fallen to the demonic path.
"Nefarious Demon, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you. I will keep Mingxuan's life in the 7,000 Sea Palace for you," Qin Shi promised seriously.
The Nefarious Demon gave a gratified smile and nodded. "Mm. Looking at the time, 10 years should be almost over by the time we get the Supreme Mystical Talisman. In this world, you and I are destined to be the loneliest existences. But no matter. If you want to return to the Human World, I will accompany you and take back what belongs to you. If you want to go to the Devil World, I will accompany you to kill our way to the Nine Heavens' Immortal Residence."
Qin Shi's eyes were filled with determination. After nodding his head, he turned around decisively.
"Let's go!"
Qin Shi's figure was like a bolt of lightning. He was the first to enter the purple coral boundary through the crack where Zhe Tian Yi Po and Zhe Tian Yi Po were mutually restricting each other.
Long Xu, Long Ying, and all the other members of the Long Clan, apart from Long Qi, followed closely behind.
Finally, only the Nefarious Demon was left in the ravine that looked like a ruin.
Beneath the Nefarious Demon's demonic eyes, there was a hint of sadness.
