Only a desperate battle remained!
"Sword Transform into Yin and Yang!"
Xia Yanyi used the Divine Skills he mastered.
"Roar!"
The Divine Seed tremored, and in Xia Yanyi’s hands, the black and white swords emitted a Dragon Roar, transforming into two Jiao Dragons, one black and one white, filled with profoundly different mysteries, coiling around and strangling Wang Zhongqiu.
"Blade River!"
Duanmu Tao also swung his Purple Soul, with Blade Qi like a long river traversing the void, the momentum astonishing.
Xia Yanlong, Gu Feiyang, and others also exhibited their Divine Skills.
Nearly ten Entering Saint warriors struck in anger, besieging Wang Zhongqiu alone, creating an extremely terrifying scene.
From below, in the sky Divine Dragons roared, Blade Qi flowed like rivers, and thunder and fire dominated, resembling an apocalyptic scene, causing many who saw this terrifying moment to faint!
"Incorrigible!" A fierce expression crossed Wang Zhongqiu’s face. He hadn’t earnestly struck yet, as he wanted to show these natives from a remote land how big the gap was, but they didn’t know when to advance or retreat, getting ahead of themselves?
"Then let me show you what terror means! Ancient Demon War Body!"
Wang Zhongqiu’s gaze turned fierce as a pitch-black Divine Seed inside him spun rapidly. This Divine Seed was more solid than ordinary ones, entwined with numerous Divine Patterns—57 in all!
To a Martial Saint, cultivating Divine Skills and condensing a Divine Seed was just laying the foundation. On this foundation, enhancing the Divine Seed to robustly grow and sprout numerous Divine Patterns was essential.
Otherwise, no matter how many Divine Skills one possessed, if each Divine Seed had fewer than two Divine Patterns, it was all merely for show, an empty facade!
That was exactly why Wang Zhongqiu was far stronger than his sect mate Hong Mantian, not just because he had cultivated three Unparalleled Techniques on his own, but each of his Divine Seeds also had far more Divine Patterns than Hong Mantian’s.
"Boom!"
Nearly ten Divine Skill-level attacks furiously bombarded Wang Zhongqiu’s body, the destructive fluctuations spreading out, creating dense cracks in the void, and even the sky trembled, with blood-red clouds shaking.
But everyone’s pupils shrank violently!
The destructive forces caused by Divine Skills spread out in all directions but then contracted violently, as if being sucked into a black hole, absorbed, and neutralized. Amidst the chaotic aftermath, a figure was revealed at the center.
The figure, clad in blood-red Battle Armor with disheveled black hair, was none other than Wang Zhongqiu!
At this moment, Wang Zhongqiu appeared dreadful; his body was entwined with black battle patterns, his eyes flickered with blood-red light, his body had swelled to over ten feet tall, and a pair of black wings like those of a bat had grown on his back, standing there like a Demon God.
The massive onslaught of Divine Skills was withstood and neutralized by his body, proving unable to even harm a single hair on him!
"Ancient Demon War Body... This is a top-tier Unparalleled Technique from the Ancient Demon Sect, a precursor to the True Demon God Body, a Divine Body-level Unparalleled Technique! This is the advantage of being accepted as a disciple by the Elder of Demon Peak..."
A trace of envy appeared in Hong Mantian’s eyes. She was born ordinary, without any significant backing within the Ancient Demon Sect.
But Wang Zhongqiu was born with a golden key, accepted as a disciple by an Elder of Demon Peak within the Ancient Demon Sect before even Entering Saint, mastering the sect’s top Unparalleled Techniques, already far surpassing others from the start!
"Don’t you see the coffin and weep!"
Wang Zhongqiu stretched his body, standing in the void with the space under his feet unable to bear his presence, creating a depression. He looked around with a somber smile.
"Be careful!"
Xia Yanlong’s pupils contracted, shouting angrily, while the Sword Qi Divine Dragon roared, trying to stop Wang Zhongqiu.
"Puff!"
But Wang Zhongqiu’s body directly collided with the golden Divine Dragon formed of converging Sword Qi. The hundred-zhang-long Divine Dragon collapsed and disintegrated at the impact, while he himself crossed a vast distance, closing in on Xia Yanyi!
"This man possesses a strong life force, very young, surely the most talented member of the Xia Yan family. Capturing him could force the Xia Yan family to submit!"
Wang Zhongqiu’s ruthless gaze identified Xia Yanyi as the most promising among the collected Entering Saint warriors during the battle, deciding to capture him was sufficient.
"Not good!"
Xia Yanyi felt a shock in his heart, retreating rapidly, the black and white swords in his hands moving in a fast yet slow manner, causing even time to seem disordered, attacking Wang Zhongqiu from both sides, trying to drive him back.
"Crack, crack!"
But when the twin swords stabbed Wang Zhongqiu’s body, the black demonic patterns entwining him seemed alive, gripping the swords and forcefully twisting them. Accompanied by a cracking sound, the black and white swords were physically shortened, as easily as breaking two slender sticks.
Wang Zhongqiu reached out a huge hand, grabbing Xia Yanyi by the neck, enveloping him in a terrifying sense of danger. With a mere squeeze of his fingers, he could end Xia Yanyi’s life right there!
"Yanyi!"
Xia Yanlong was tremendously alarmed, and the other strong members of the Xia Yan family also ceased their attacks, not daring to proceed, fearing collateral damage.
Wang Zhongqiu’s ten-foot-tall Demon Body proudly stood, holding Xia Yanyi like a small chicken, and sneered, "I’ve no time to tangle with you all! Surrender the murderer, hand over ten Divine Seeds as atonement! That will spare you from today’s disaster!"
Wang Zhongqiu was confident he could annihilate everyone present, but he was not planning to go too extreme. His real purpose was for gain, to obtain ten Divine Seeds and not leave empty-handed. By capturing Xia Yanyi, he could blackmail the Xia Yan family.
"Ten Divine Seeds... we simply can’t produce that..." Xia Yanlong gritted his teeth.
