Chapter 255: The Might Of The Third-ranked Demon King Heaven Devouring Rat!

Qin Ming stood in the void with his hands behind his back.

Hearing Linghu Yang’s words, he was expressionless, his expression showed no great undulation, and he just said faintly:

“This One doesn’t need you to hold back.”

Linghu Yang on the opposite side was also taken aback upon hearing this, and then said coldly:

“Humph! Your Excellency is truly arrogant, could it be that you really have the strength to deal with the Golden Core Stage?”

Qin Ming said faintly: “I am just afraid that after the competition, your thoughts will become even more unfulfilled.”

Linghu Yang’s heart also flared up when he heard this; the other party’s attitude made it obvious that they looked down on him.

“Good!”

“Then I won’t hold back. I will experience whether Fellow Daoist Long is as powerful as he says.”

“If This Seat doesn’t control the strength and accidentally kills you, then you can’t blame me!”

After Linghu Yang said this, the aura of Magical Power throughout his body was released.

Qin Ming then raised his hand and waved, and a gray-furred rat demon appeared between the two.

“You first have to win against my Spirit Pet.”

Immediately, the body of the Heaven-Devouring Rat suddenly became large, instantly expanding to dozens of feet in size, and a vast Demon King’s pressure descended!

The powerful Spiritual Pressure even shocked Linghu Yang so that his face turned deathly pale, and he almost couldn’t breathe.

Also being at the Third Rank level, the strength of the Demon Race is several times stronger than that of the Human Race.

Moreover, Linghu Yang had just broken through to the Golden Core Stage.

“Eh Heh Heh! Little boy!”

“I heard you want to challenge my master?!”

“Say it! What kind of death do you want?”

The Heaven-Devouring Rat arrogantly rushed towards Linghu Yang, revealing its cold fangs.

“Early Third Rank Peak Demon King!!”

“This… how is this possible?”

Linghu Yang’s eyes showed fear. He simply couldn’t believe how Daoist Long, who was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, could possess such a powerful Spirit Pet.

If calculated like this, what level of strength would Daoist Long himself have?

Confusion, fear, doubt, and other complex emotions were revealed on Linghu Yang’s face.

The next moment, a difficult smile squeezed out of his face, and he cupped his hands towards Qin Ming and apologized:

“So Fellow Daoist Long is so strong. I was presumptuous just now, and have offended you. Please don’t blame me!”

Then, Linghu Yang, without another word, turned into a golden Escape Light and fled away in a panic.

He ran faster than when he came.

“Hehe! Want to run?”

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was eager to try. It hadn’t unleashed its skills for a long time and was already impatient.

Its huge demon body eerily merged into the void and instantly disappeared.

Qin Ming’s figure also became a little hazy and disappeared on the spot.

……

On the Other Side.

Linghu Yang was flying away at the fastest speed. He unleashed a secret technique and escaped several thousand miles away in one breath.

His whole body was sweating profusely, and he kept releasing his Divine Sense to scan behind him.

It wasn’t until he found that ‘Daoist Long’ and his terrifying Demon King Spirit Pet seemed not to have caught up that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“As long as I return to Moyuan Immortal City, I’ll be safe.”

“There are always stronger people, one mountain is higher than another!”

“This Daoist Long… is simply unfathomable! This person definitely has a big secret!”

“It seems my state of mind is still too impetuous; I won’t compete with others anymore.”

“This behavior is simply asking for humiliation!”

“Alas! I thought that after breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, I could clear my past shame… Forget it, I’ll go back to the mountains and hide in bitter cultivation.”

“I won’t come out until I cultivate to the Late Stage!”

Just then.

“Only now do you want to cultivate in seclusion? Isn’t it a bit late?”

A faint voice suddenly sounded beside him!

Startling Linghu Yang, he hurriedly sacrificed a Magical Artifact, which was a three-foot-long sword filled with golden sharp energy.

Sou!

A silent attack struck.

Linghu Yang’s back hair stood on end, and then his body flew out dozens of feet away.

He quickly formed a sword art and slashed towards the void in front of him!

The golden sword Magical Artifact emitted an unmatched sword intent, instantly splitting into thirty-six golden flying swords, which struck an object in the air.

Dang!

Shuah!

Several strands of huge black Earth Spikes suddenly emerged and collided with many golden flying swords.

Linghu Yang’s Magical Artifact gold sword was knocked back by the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s attack, and its Spirituality was greatly damaged.

With his Natal Magical Artifact damaged, Linghu Yang’s complexion became listless, and he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, with a single strike, almost took Linghu Yang’s life.

It was obvious that the levels of strength of both sides were completely not on the same plane.

Qin Ming’s gaze was slightly cold; he had originally wanted to let things be, but he thought that Linghu Yang was persistent.

Then, it’s no wonder for himself.

It just so happened that he also wanted to see what the strength of the Heaven-Devouring Rat Demon King, which had surpassed its peak period, was like.

I saw the Heaven-Devouring Rat shuttling back and forth in the void, and Linghu Yang couldn’t lock onto its tracks at all.

Suddenly!

He was caught off guard by the rat tail, and his whole body flew out as if he was a sandbag.

Linghu Yang got up in embarrassment, covered his chest, violently coughed several times, and then he also discovered that he couldn’t escape.

Especially since Daoist Long was still watching with hostile intent.

He revealed a look of madness and prepared to fight to the death.

Linghu Yang once again drove the gold sword Magical Artifact in his hand, and unreservedly infused his own Magical Power into it.

“Rise! Golden Sun Sword Formation!”

Weng!

Shua Shua Shua!

In an instant, the Magical Artifact flying sword in Linghu Yang’s hand flew out, turning into a sword rain that filled the sky, with a total of seventy-two swords, each golden sword beam being dozens of feet in size.

Linghu Yang unleashed all his means, and the Golden Sun Sword Formation displayed the aura of destroying the heavens and earth.

The golden sword beams intertwined, enveloping all the emptiness nearby.

The next moment.

The figure of the Heaven-Devouring Rat reappeared, it was located at the center of the sword formation, yet it was not afraid at all.

I saw it open its mouth and spit out a piece of black Mysterious Light, which suddenly spread out in the air, like a black giant net, instantly ensnaring Linghu Yang’s Golden Sun Sword Formation.

The moment the sword beams touched the black Mysterious Light, they shattered into countless bubbles.

Some of the sword beams that escaped fell in front of Qin Ming.

He then activated his Qi and Blood True Essence, and countless Spirit Veins flashed on his skin, which was exactly the True Extreme Body!

Dang Dang Dang!

The Magical Artifact flying sword released by Linghu Yang struck Qin Ming, only leaving a few white marks, and he was almost completely unharmed!

“This…” Linghu Yang was also shocked when he saw this scene; not only was his strongest sword formation trump card broken,

He also experienced for the first time in his life that someone could, with just their physical body, withstand the attack of a Magical Artifact.

It completely overturned the three views, the worldview, of this Golden Core True Person!

Before he had time to regret, his whole body was swallowed by the black light released by the Heaven-Devouring Rat.

“Ah ah ah!”

A shrill wail came from the black light.

Sou!

A Soul Body shot out from the black light; Linghu Yang did not hesitate to abandon his physical body and fled for his life.

Just then.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat let out a sneer and grabbed the void in front of it with its claws.

An Invisible Force split the void and shattered Linghu Yang’s Soul Body that was escaping.

At this point, this newly promoted Golden Core True Person, hadn’t had time to become famous in the Cultivation World,

He was annihilated on the spot by the Heaven-Devouring Rat in a few moves, and his soul was directly annihilated.

Through this battle, it also displayed the strength of the Heaven-Devouring Rat as an Early Third Rank Peak Demon King.

After the Heaven-Devouring Rat annihilated Linghu Yang, it excitedly sucked towards his corpse, and then took out a golden Golden Core from his Dantian!

When it saw this, its drool flowed all the way to the ground.

“Don’t swallow it yet!”

Qin Ming immediately stopped the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s action; once this beast consumed this Golden Core of the Human Race, with its Early Third Rank Peak, it was only one step away from advancing again.

The Demon Core of a Third Rank Demon King could create a Pseudo-Core Formation Cultivator if given to a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Conversely, the Golden Core of the Human Race was the same; it was an extremely rare Great Supplement for demonic beasts.

The Golden Core gathered the essence of a cultivator’s lifelong cultivation.

If the Heaven-Devouring Rat consumed it, it would definitely be able to break through to the Third Stage, Mid-Level.

Even the Black Water Crocodile and the Silver-Winged Frost Bee, if they consumed it, could break through to the Third Rank Demon King level.

Moreover, Linghu Yang had also condensed a High-Grade Golden Core.

However, if this was the case, the Heaven-Devouring Rat would definitely need a long time to digest this Golden Core to break through.

Qin Ming still had to Handle Affairs, and at this critical juncture, he couldn’t let his capable General Sleep.

Although the Heaven-Devouring Rat desired the Golden Core very much, it still followed Qin Ming’s orders and handed the Golden Core to him.

“Now is not the time.”

“Wait until I finish searching for the Spirit of the Artifact, and then I’ll let you break through.”

Qin Ming put away the Golden Core, and then with a hand gesture, took Linghu Yang’s Storage Bag and that golden Magical Artifact flying sword as well.

He didn’t even look at it and put it away.

Then, he unleashed a Thorn Technique at Linghu Yang’s corpse, and countless black vines surged out, entangling and enveloping the corpse, and in a moment, it turned into a blood bead the size of a fist.

It was taken into Qin Ming’s hand.

Qin Ming looked at this Golden Core Level blood bead; this time, the Natal Spirit Plant Yin Yang Mysterious Vine was blessed. After feeding it this blood bead, it was estimated that it would be able to grow a lot, and his Natal Magical Artifact, the Wood Emperor Nail, would also be able to advance, right?

After doing these things.

Qin Ming then flicked a Fireball Technique at the dried corpse, destroyed the corpse and eliminated the traces, and left here.

……

Three days later.

Qin Ming rode the Silver-Winged Frost Bee and arrived at Jingzhou, Liang Kingdom; his destination for This Journey was Tai Lake, Xiao Clan.

According to the records on the silk, the Spirit of the Hooked Jade Golden Light Mirror was hidden in the Ancestral Hall of the Xiao Clan.

Half Day later.

A huge lake appeared in Qin Ming’s vision, like a jade green Treasure Pearl, embedded on the Earth.

The surface of Tai Lake had green waves for thousands of acres, the sky and water were the same color, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and unique mountains and strange stones.

Countless boats drifted on the green waves, people moved around the water, the mountains moved with the people, people were like walking in a painting, and the mountains were like floating on the water, making people joyful and relaxed.

Around Tai Lake, there were dozens of Cultivation Clans of varying sizes that had been passed down to this day.

And the Xiao Clan was one of them.

Qin Ming also didn’t understand how such an important spirit of the artifact, would be hidden in the Xiao Clan, a small Qi Refining Clan.

However, that was a matter of Ancient Times. Times had changed, and it was uncertain whether the clan that existed there at that time was the Xiao Clan.

Qin Ming put away the Silver-Winged Frost Bee, unleashed the True Demon Illusion, transformed into an Ordinary Appearance Free Cultivator, and descended towards a small Marketplace nearby.

He planned to Investigate secretly on the Outer Perimeter and then make a Decision.

The Cultivation forces around Tai Lake mostly belonged to the unranked, with only two Foundation Establishment Clans, and the highest cultivation level was Early Foundation Establishment.

The Xiao Clan’s population was not prosperous; Clan Leader Xiao Zhongren was only at the Late Qi Refining.

However, the Xiao Clan did have an Antique Ancestral Hall.

Qin Ming did not take it lightly because of this; on the contrary, he mustered Twelve-Point Spirit.

After all, it involved the matter of a Top-Tier Magical Artifact’s spirit of the artifact.

He secretly Infiltrated the Xiao Clan at night, released the Heaven-Devouring Rat, and asked it: “Did you find any Anomaly?”
