Chapter 592 - 581: Devouring Qilin Blood
Ding Ling looked at the magma pool and, without hesitation, leaped in.
Plop!
A soft sound.
Ding Ling submerged into the magma pool and disappeared from sight.
Almost at the moment he dove into the pool.
Whoosh!
A Frost Storm arrived in the blink of an eye.
Then afterward.
A Thunder Fire shot into the air, landing beside the storm.
As the storm and thunder fire dissipated, two tall and mighty figures emerged—they were the Ice Emperor and the Divine General.
Their eyes were like lightning, sweeping across the Ten Directions Realm, yet they didn’t see Ding Ling, leaving them looking at each other in surprise.
The Divine General sighed and admiringly said:
"That guy can really run fast. We pushed ourselves to the limit and still couldn’t catch him! It shows his Lightweight Skill must be refined to the extreme!"
The Ice Emperor snorted and said:
"He is our mortal enemy. As long as he lives, I will never be at ease! Now that we’ve joined forces, we must find and kill him today."
The Divine General agreed deeply and sighed:
"This guy’s talent is truly unmatched in the world. I’m afraid no one can compare to him, and having offended him, it’s not just you who is uneasy, I am too."
He glanced at the Ice Emperor and said:
"You didn’t think of me when dividing the benefits, but when it comes to such a mess, you drag me in first!"
"We are all part of the Celestial Sect, we should naturally be friendly and mutually helpful."
The Ice Emperor stiffly replied.
"Heh."
The Divine General sneered twice:
"Even you don’t believe in your own words."
He leaped into the air like a spring, shooting out dozens of feet away, landing in the center of the Demon Cave, and looked down at the magma pool:
"This place is unobstructed, the only place to hide is this magma pool. Ice Emperor, you go down and take a look."
"..."
The Ice Emperor gave the Divine General a sidelong glance:
"Why don’t you go down!"
"You’re the one asking me. Not me asking you."
The Divine General coldly taunted:
"If you don’t want to go down, then forget it. That young man will definitely target you first! Even if you die, you’ll definitely die before me."
The Ice Emperor’s face darkened, and with a grim expression, he reluctantly flew into the magma pool, vanishing instantly beneath the surface.
But it wasn’t long before, with the sound of rushing water, he emerged again, grimacing in pain:
"It’s too hot, too sinister. There is a very powerful corrosive, scorching force within. My Protective Gang Qi won’t last very long. Divine General, you go take a look; your World-Ending Demon Body is invulnerable, unrivaled; this mere magma should not be able to harm you."
"Heh."
The Divine General lightly chuckled:
"You can’t hold on for long. So that young man can hold on for long? Why not just wait here and see how long he can last. When he can’t anymore, he will naturally jump out, and by then, we can kill him, which will surely satisfy you."
"Makes sense."
The Ice Emperor’s eyes brightened:
"That guy must be here, and most likely hiding in this magma pool. Let’s wait here patiently. Let’s see if he would rather be consumed by that scorching corrosive air or choose to let us kill him."
...
...
After Ding Ling entered the magma pool.
Protective Gang Qi activated.
His body continued to sink.
His eyes were sharp, scanning in all directions.
What he saw was the rolling magma surging like a mighty river, sometimes rising to high altitudes, sometimes suddenly descending ten feet.
If Ding Ling wasn’t controlling his descent, he would be involuntarily swept along, and in due time, be reduced to ashes.
Whoosh!
A scorching, corrosive aura assaulted him.
Ding Ling frowned slightly, feeling some discomfort, but he didn’t think he wouldn’t be able to endure. With Breathing Technique Body Refining, his Seven Great Breathing Techniques were at Great Perfection, and his physical quality was countless times higher than that of the average Grandmaster.
With Gang Qi protecting his body.
His strong physical quality was enough to safeguard him for now.
Continuing to descend.
Suddenly the ground below became empty.
Ding Ling’s entire body fell and landed in a new realm.
Ding Ling quickly surveyed his surroundings.
It was a new cave.
Larger, deeper, and darker than the Fire Qilin’s cave.
In the distance, terrifying howls, shrieks, and sharp cries could faintly be heard, as if demons were wailing, crying, and screaming.
Looking up.
A crimson rock wall emitted a faint red glow, sometimes rising, sometimes sinking, as if it were breathing, eerily strange.
And it was this dim red light that illuminated the area of several dozen feet around Ding Ling.
Beyond that was enshrouded in darkness, obscuring clear vision.
Ding Ling knew he was not invincible in this world.
Not to mention Emperor Shitian.
That Xiaao Sanxiaao, the Half-God, Great Sun Buddha, and others, were undoubtedly strong at the Void Shattering Level!
As for whether there’s actually a Great Sun Buddha in this world?
Ding Ling did not know.
But he knew one thing.
In this world, it is the law of survival of the fittest, and only the strong can dominate heaven and earth.
He took a deep breath.
Used his skill to retrieve the Qilin’s corpse from the Storage Pouch and placed it on the ground.
He looked at the Fire Qilin’s body and thought:
"The Fire Qilin is a treasure in itself. Being one of the Four Great Divine Beasts. Even if it’s inferior to the Divine Dragon, Phoenix, and Dragon Turtle, it shouldn’t be too much of a gap."
Ding Ling took out the broken Immortal Weapon Long Halberd and a bucket, and began to drain the Qilin’s blood.
Puff!
The Immortal Weapon Long Halberd pierced the major artery in the Qilin’s neck, and fresh blood gushed out, quickly being collected by Ding Ling into a bucket.
"This long halberd is indeed sharp; the scales at the Qilin’s neck have the strongest defense. I couldn’t break through, but this long halberd, when used with Longevity Venerable Qi, can easily open it, truly revealing unmatched sharpness. It’s a pity, it can only be used twice."
The Immortal Weapon Long Halberd greatly consumes Longevity Venerable Qi.
After Ding Ling used it twice.
He had to wait for the Longevity Venerable Qi to restore automatically before using it again.
He quickly drained half a bucket of Qilin blood.
Ding Ling immediately took out a bowl, scooped a bowlful, and gulped it down.
While he discarded many pots and pans, he left one for himself to use.
Whoosh!
As soon as the Qilin blood entered his stomach.
Ding Ling felt a hot, surging energy, carrying corrosive, sinister, and demonic power, rampaging throughout his entire body, as if intending to burn and melt him.
This power was too violent.
Ding Ling only drank a bowl.
Feeling like he had swallowed a bomb.
Rolling thunderous sounds constantly roared and exploded inside him.
Ding Ling’s expression slightly changed, and he immediately began frantically running the Seven Great Breathing Techniques, Eternal Youth Technique, Nine Yang Divine Skill, and other divine skills.
All of these skills were at Full Level.
With a thought, Ding Ling could activate them rapidly.
At this moment, Ding Ling fully exerted himself to run these divine skills.
Rolling Blood Qi and Primordial Qi were immediately refined and absorbed.
Ding Ling’s physical quality began to soar.
The previous depletion and weakness caused by Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill were not only swept away, but he also felt a strong sense of power increase.
