Asura Mad Emperor

After advancing for nearly an hour, the two finally emerged from the vast mountain range.

In the distance lay an endless expanse of grassland, and nearby shimmered a misty, aura-filled lake, from which rose the low roars of fierce beasts and evil spirits.

Indeed.

This vast grassland was rife with countless evil spirits and fierce beasts, and even more so with heavenly treasures materials far surpassing those within the Spirit Vein they had just passed, any of which would be coveted treasures contested over by major powers in the outside world.

Ji Huo'er was the happiest, walking and stopping along the way, gathering heavenly treasures materials and occasionally slaying evil spirits that strayed alone.

While collecting the heavenly treasures materials on the grassland, Ji Huo'er crisply said, "Didn't they say that the Spirit Martial Great Tomb is filled with danger everywhere? Why do I feel like it's actually full of heavenly treasures materials instead?"

Ling Xian'er, wearing white clothes purer than snow, stood graceful among them all, her bright teeth shining as she smiled, "Could it be that you, Huo'er, have forgotten about the Yin Spirit King we encountered earlier? If it were you or another martial artist facing that Yin Spirit King, how much chance of victory would there be?"

Qinchuan also spoke lightly, "It is true that the Spirit Martial Great Tomb is abound with heavenly treasures materials, but high rewards also come with high risks. Although the Yin Spirit King we just faced was already strong, compared to the entire minor world, it is insignificant, otherwise, it wouldn't just exist on the fringe of this world."

Qinchuan continued confidently, "The ghostly Qi in the depths of the grassland in front of us is even denser than within the Spirit Mountain we've just been in, and the creatures it incubates, both leaders and those with the Yin Evil Physique, will most certainly be stronger than the Yin Spirit King from the Spirit Vein. Unless necessary, we should avoid releasing our own auras so as not to alarm these leaders and avoid unnecessary trouble."

Qinchuan's words were not born out of fear of these Yin Spirit Kings, but rather, this minor world stretched unknown tens of thousands of miles with unceasing territories, and at certain intervals, there would be a leader, either a fierce beast or a Yin Spirit. If he were to forcefully advance through, it would simply be too time-consuming.

After hearing this, Ji Huo'er shrank back and hid behind Ling Xian'er, patting her chest and saying, "That Yin Spirit King we just faced was already troublesome enough, and to think there are even more powerful beings ahead!"

At this moment, Ling Xian'er's eyes sparkled with surprise as she looked at Qinchuan, "Young Master Qin seems to be very familiar with the Spirit Martial Great Tomb. Could it be that Young Master Qin has entered this place before?"

Ever since Qinchuan had confidently chosen the path, Ling Xian'er had become suspicious. Moreover, after entering the secret realm, Qinchuan's performance was outstanding, and every step seemed to be within his expectations. Now she could not help but ask.

Qinchuan responded indifferently, "This Young Master has indeed spent time in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, if not for ten thousand years, then for several thousand years at least, naturally I am familiar with it."

"Psh, boastful! You're not even older than me!"

Ji Huo'er scoffed and made a face at him, clearly not believing Qinchuan.

Qinchuan remained silent, not engaging in an argument with Ji Huo'er.

After reaching the lake, the sky had already darkened, and night was descending, the stars filling the sky and the moon hanging high.

At night, the Yin evil Qi grew more prosperous, and evil spirits would spread across the entire grassland, obviously not a suitable time to travel any longer. The group decided to rest by the lake for the night before continuing their journey the following day.

The night deepened, and Ding Hao had long fallen into a deep sleep, while Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er slept hugging each other. Although the group had not reached the Dao Palace Realm and could not cultivate in their sleep, as martial artists of the Nine Layers of the Spirit Martial Realm, they could go without sleep for ten days or half a month if they had to.

But considering the dangerous journey ahead and the need to be fully alert, the three decided to rest well for the night. Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

Qinchuan sat cross-legged beneath a solitary tree, meditating quietly, absorbing and reflecting on the gains of the day.

His cultivation followed the path of Asura, a path destined to be blood-soaked and filled with strife. Although he had already experienced countless life-and-death battles, each fight now deepened his understanding and affirmation of the Asura's path.

The night was deep, and from the depths of the grassland, there came a series of rumbling sounds, including the vague cries of yin spirits and the wails of fierce ghosts, eerily terrifying. Soon after, a piercing scream could be faintly heard, and before long, the sound drifted farther and farther away.

Unknown hours passed, and the moon reached West Mountain. Suddenly, a rustling sound arose all around, and everyone was jolted awake, their hair standing on end.

Looking out into the wilderness, they could only see clusters of red flames emerging in the void, like a series of lanterns hanging in the air.

It was only then that Ding Hao and the others saw clearly that these red flames were actually pairs of eyes. Countless stout and short creatures with ugly features, resembling wolves but not quite wolves, stood on the grassland. Flames blazed in their eyes, and as their strong limbs trod upon the ground, puffs of black smoke arose.

Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er and the others were greatly startled and instinctively conjured a huge flame in their palms, hurling it towards those monsters.

"Do not use Fire Element Mysterious Techniques!" Qinchuan saw the flames emerge in their hands and immediately shouted loudly.

But it was already too late. By the time his voice rang out, they had unleashed their techniques, dazzling and brilliant, bombarding the horde of monsters.

Upon seeing the fierce flames, the creatures scrambled to be the first to throw themselves into it. The monsters that first caught the flames saw the fire in their eyes swell dramatically, and their aura became even more vigorous.

The two Fire Element Mysterious Techniques, which could have annihilated yin spirits, not only failed to harm these creatures but were absorbed by them instead.

Seeing that their techniques had inadvertently nourished their opponents, making them stronger, Ji Huo'er exclaimed in her shrill voice, "What on earth are these damn things?"

"Du——"

Qinchuan glowed all over, with the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone appearing above his head, spinning rapidly, transforming into a Thunder Pool that emitted dazzling and blinding light. The resplendent glow and the flashing thunder protected everyone in a circle.

Only then did the creatures dare not approach any longer.

"Go, to the center of the lake!" Qinchuan shouted loudly, taking the lead in activating his movement technique and shooting forward, running across the surface of the lake.

At the central area of the lake, there was an island that could accommodate the four people.

Ling Xian'er and the other two did not dare to delay, some transforming into a divine light, others moving lightly, all following closely behind Qinchuan.

There were no such creatures on the island, and the numerous lantern-like flames lined the shore of the lake, issuing low growls towards the island, yet they dared not cross the water.

Only then did Ling Xian'er and the others let out a long sigh of relief.

"What are these things? Why can't they be killed?" Ji Huo'er, still scared, asked while patting her chest.

"These are the Earth Schemers, a type of creature born from the magma beneath the earth's surface, naturally containing a rich Fire Element within them. When you attack them with Fire Element Mysterious Techniques, you are essentially feeding them," Qinchuan answered.

Having never heard of such creatures as the Earth Schemers before, everyone was enlightened by Qinchuan's explanation.

These subterranean creatures were not afraid of Fire Element Mysterious Techniques, but they did fear water.

That's why these monsters lined up at the shore without daring to charge towards the people in the center of the lake.
