Asura Mad Emperor

"How could creatures from the underground magma, thousands of miles deep, swarm to the surface?"

Ling Xian'er frowned with surprise and curiosity in her eyes as she asked.

Ding Hao had once entered the Spirit Martial Great Tomb and had some understanding of the place. He spoke, "The creatures in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb are unpredictable and incomparable to those on the Divine Wilderness Continent. Perhaps just yesterday, they were at the Eastern Pole, and tomorrow, they might be at the Western Pole. These beings born from molten lava might also be able to survive on the surface."

Qinchuan nodded and said, "Although these creatures are born in the underground magma, they usually inhabit just a few dozen meters below the surface. They normally don't dare to break through to the surface because of the suppression by the Yin Spirits, but today, something has changed. The Yin Spirits on the prairie have vanished, and that's why these cunning creatures took the opportunity to emerge."

Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, it dawned on everyone that the Yin Spirits, which were scattered around, were now nowhere to be seen.

"What happened at the center of the prairie to attract all the Yin Spirits in that direction?"

Ji Huo'er's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she asked.

Ling Xian'er shook her head and said, "Let's not worry about what's happening at the center of the prairie for now; what we need to consider is what we should do next! Although these cunning creatures are weaker than the Yin Spirits, they are much more numerous, and both Huo'er and I's mysterious techniques are ineffective against them. If those Yin Spirits don't return, are we going to be trapped on this little island forever?"

Qinchuan furrowed his eyebrows and said calmly, "Dealing with these cunning creatures is not difficult; they have lived underground all their lives and are afraid of the sunlight in the dark environment. Once dawn breaks, they will naturally retreat back below the surface."

Compared to this, Qinchuan was not worried about the cunning creatures. Even if they did not retreat after dawn, he was confident that he could carve a bloody path through the swarm of cunning creatures.

What he was more concerned about was what had happened deeper in the prairie.

Qinchuan's Innate Pupils activated, emitting a blazing light, as if trying to pierce the darkness and reach the distant depths of the prairie.

But, frustrated by his own low cultivation level and the slumbering Emperor Soul, he was unable to pierce through the space and see what was happening.

In the middle of the night, he had noticed the abnormal behavior of the Yin Spirits, but he had not thought much about it until the cunning creatures appeared. Only then did he realize that an anomaly had occurred on the prairie.

A shadow fell across his face as he murmured, "I hope you don't mess with this young master's belongings."

The next day, as the sky began to lighten, the first ray of sunlight illuminated the prairie.

As expected, the swathes of cunning creatures on the prairie fled underground. After several unwilling roars, the row upon row of creatures by the lake also retreated helplessly back to the depths of the ground.

"Let's go! To the center of the prairie!"

The four of them sped off, running wildly toward the central area of the prairie.

With the Yin Spirits having gathered towards the center of the prairie, and the cunning creatures returned to the underground, they faced no obstacles along the way.

On this path, not only were there no Yin Spirits or cunning creatures, but as Qinchuan and the others ran for dozens of miles, they didn't even encounter a single spirit beast.

Recalling the strange phenomena that occurred last night, Qinchuan became even more certain that something significant had happened at the center of the prairie, drawing all the creatures on the surface and the Yin Spirits there.

"I hope you don't seek your own deaths by meddling with this young master's belongings." A cold light flashed in Qinchuan's eyes.

At the same time, he quickened his pace even more and rushed ahead alone, leaving Ling Xian'er and the others far behind.

Ji Huo'er could see that Qinchuan was anxious, and on the other hand, she was also very curious about what was happening ahead, so on their way there, she didn't even bother collecting any heaven-sent treasures.

Half a day later, Qinchuan had approached the central area of the grassland.

As he neared this area, he saw a massive figure in the sky brandishing a battle axe, continuously slashing at the surrounding area, while an unending stream of Yin Spirits and spiritual beasts rushed towards that spirit-emanated War God, biting and tearing at it.

That War God was like a deity above the firmament, swinging the battle axe, fracturing the void, changing the colors of the sky and earth, as if it were the will of a divine being, each swing of the axe shattering the ground.

However, those Yin Spirits were like persistent plagues, relentlessly coming, never to be fully slain or extinguished. As soon as one was shattered, the next moment, another Yin Spirit would take its place, unending and utterly fearless.

The two sides battled fiercely, with more and more Yin Spirits and spiritual beasts joining the fray.

The War God was growing weaker and weaker; its once substantial body had started to become somewhat translucent, and it likely wouldn't last a day before it would be torn apart by the dense throng of Yin Spirits and spiritual beasts.

"Hmph, just as I thought!"

A chill arose in Qinchuan's mind, and a strong killing intent burst forth, "To actually set their sights on this young master, truly seeking death."

At that moment, several figures rushed towards Qinchuan from the direction of that divine figure.

These figures were as fast as lightning and arrived instantly at Qinchuan's side. Seeing the killing intent surging from Qinchuan, they didn't say much and surrounded him.

Qinchuan glanced at the people; there were about ten of them, and most had reached the peak of the Nine Layers Spirit Martial realm. Qinchuan had paid attention to the martial artists at the peak of the Nine Layers Spirit Martial realm who had entered the Spirit Martial Great Tomb the previous day, and these people were not among them.

This indicated that these people were not part of the group that had entered the Spirit Martial Great Tomb this time.

Seeing that they had surrounded Qinchuan but made no further move, a brawny man with a rough face stepped forward and said to Qinchuan, "Kid, get out of here, you can't go forward anymore!"

"What happened ahead?" Qinchuan, seeing no malice from the other side, calmed down and feigned ignorance.

Just then, the sound of whistling came from afar, and several beams of divine light flashed past.

Ling Xian'er, Ji Huo'er, and Ding Hao arrived belatedly at that moment.

Seeing the sky filled with Yin Spirits and the War God battling against many Yin Spirits, they were struck dumbfounded. Ji Huo'er exclaimed crisply, "Oh my, what is going on here? Who is that giant, and why is he fighting so many Yin Spirits?"

No one around them answered, but the next moment, a sudden voice rang out.

"Lei Wuyin, is that really you?" The speaker was none other than Ding Hao.

The brawny man followed the voice, and upon recognizing the newcomer, he was overjoyed, "Ding Hao, you're not dead?!"

"It's a long story. I stumbled my way out of that Demon Cave by mistake, and because my wife's condition was urgent, I didn't wait for you all there..."

The two parties recognized each other and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

It turned out that this group of people were the ones Ding Hao had met during his previous visit to the Spirit Martial Great Tomb. At that time, everyone was separated in a Demon Cave, and because Ding Hao was worried about his wife's illness, he had left the Demon Cave and made his way out of the Spirit Martial Great Tomb alone, while Lei Wuyin and the others, not seeing Ding Hao come out of the Demon Cave, had believed him to be dead. Unexpectedly, they were now reunited in this place.
