Chapter 30: Fellow Cultivator, Please Stop!

With the perception of the Instrument God, no one on the Land of the Sun could escape hiding their whereabouts, nor could they suppress the fluctuations of their demonic energy. The Instrument God seemed to possess an innate ability to dominate souls. At that moment, it detected another hidden elder from Zhuang Guangming’s faction nearby and immediately informed Qu Yi. Qu Yi quickly flew over.

A slightly thin man was already in the area of the junior disciple trials, sitting motionless on a tree as if in seclusion. The junior disciple trials had always been the place where the Soul Immortal-level disciples of the Tyrant Dragon Sect underwent trials. Initially, ten million disciples would enter this area, where they would fight each other brutally until only one million remained, marking the end of the trials. It was precisely because of these brutal trials that the disciples of the Tyrant Dragon Sect advanced rapidly in their cultivation. These trials also made all of them understand how cruel the path of cultivation truly was, leaving no room for luck.

“The decisive battle won’t happen right away, so Long Zhan Tian will use this time to train some elite disciples. Naturally, disciples will come to this trial area, and I’ll be responsible for the assassination missions here,” said the man on the tree, eyes widening with excitement.

He then used his demonic perception to scan the surroundings and indeed found a group of hundred thousand disciples fighting each other. “I, Zhen Ting, am quite lucky. Among these fighting disciples, there are ten core disciples at the lower Earth Soul Demon level watching from behind. So, those ten core disciples are my targets,” he said happily.

Zhen Ting then suppressed the fluctuations of his demonic energy, reaching only the upper level of the Human Soul Demon realm. He slowly made his way toward a place where a core disciple at the lower Earth Soul Demon level was overseeing the trials.

“Fellow cultivator, please stop!”

Suddenly, Qu Yi appeared in front of Zhen Ting, smiling.

“Who… who are you?” Zhen Ting was shocked by Qu Yi’s sudden appearance.

Qu Yi merely smiled faintly, already drawing the Wu Xi Sword and performing a sword move before saying, “Fellow cultivator, stop suppressing your demonic energy. Fight me.”

Hearing this, Zhen Ting was once again shocked—Qu Yi could see through his suppression of demonic energy fluctuations, which meant Qu Yi’s soul realm was even higher than his own.

“Who are you? I know all the elders of the Tyrannosaurus Sect; you’re not one of them. Could it be that you’re a powerful Upper Earth Soul Demon summoned by Long Zhan Tian?” Zhen Ting asked, his expression panicked as he looked around, thinking about escaping.

Qu Yi immediately revealed Zhen Ting’s cultivation level, which scared him.

“Troublesome. If you don’t bring out your demonic weapon, I won’t wait for you. Hand over your life,” Qu Yi said, his expression suddenly resolute as he took off into the air.

In an instant, Qu Yi swung his sword at Zhen Ting.

In a hurry, Zhen Ting waved his right hand, releasing a mass of yellow Earth Magic Essence. Within that essence was a dimensional space that blocked the advance of Wu Xi Sword.

A powerful Earth Soul Demon could use spatial spells to confront enemies in space. At this moment, Zhen Ting used a spatial spell called “Forming a Realm from Earth” to easily block Qu Yi’s attack.

“Haha, so you’ve been pretending to be mysterious, trying to scare me away. You’re only at the level of a Six-Star Earth Soul Demon. No matter how fast you are, you’ll still be suppressed by my spatial spell.” Zhen Ting quickly detected the fluctuations in Qu Yi’s magic essence.

Speaking of which, Zhen Ting formed a seal with his left hand, pushing out the Earth Magic Essence like a yellow wooden board straight at Qu Yi’s face. Hidden within that board was the spatial spell “Support from All Directions,” with each part of the dimensional space containing immense supporting energy.

Zhen Ting wanted to use this spell to trap Qu Yi in his own space and torment him endlessly, to vent the frustration caused by Qu Yi’s intimidation earlier.

Seeing this, Qu Yi stood there with a smile, actually bearing the attack of “Support from All Directions.”

After a while, Qu Yi disappeared, trapped inside Zhen Ting’s dimensional space.

“Haha, kid, you’re just a Six-Star Earth Soul Demon, yet you dare to toy with me. Now I’ll torment you thoroughly,” Zhen Ting exclaimed excitedly.

But…

Zhen Ting’s expression froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Inside the dimensional space, Qu Yi not only wasn’t disabled by the supporting energy but instead had that powerful energy flowing into his body, as if his body were an ocean absorbing the surging river water.

Indeed, Qu Yi’s body was a Chaos Body, capable of absorbing and refining all the primal energies of the five elements into Chaos Energy. As soon as he entered Zhen Ting’s dimensional space, he absorbed all the Earth primal energy present there.

A vacant dimensional space naturally had no offensive power.

“Kid, who are you? How could you absorb all of my Earthly Magic Essence?” Zhen Ting shouted in astonishment.
Qu Yi was still in the alternate dimension, smiling faintly.
Suddenly, Qu Yi sheathed his Wu Xi Sword and pushed out both palms at the same time. Two streams of chaotic energy rushed forth, hitting the boundary of the alternate dimension and instantly destroying it.
This was why, after reaching the rank of Six-Star Earth Soul Immortal, Qu Yi no longer hid himself and could reveal the secret of the Ice Bee to Long Zhan Tian.
For powerhouses at the Earth Soul Demon level, their alternate dimensions couldn’t contain Qu Yi—so what was there for him to worry about?
Realizing his alternate dimension had been destroyed, Zhen Ting was shocked and no longer had the heart to fight. He tried to fly away.
“Fellow cultivator, please wait!”
Qu Yi smiled again.
Immediately, his Life Core emerged, glowing with golden light, and covered Zhen Ting’s head. Thousands of golden rays shot out, piercing into Zhen Ting’s head and drawing out his Soul Flower.
Qu Yi himself didn’t have the strength to stop Zhen Ting from escaping, but with the restraint of his Life Core, he could easily chase after him.
“Ah… You kid are full of strange mysteries. Who exactly are you? What is that thing above my head?” Zhen Ting cried out in panic, his whole body trembling.
Qu Yi chuckled.
Then, he picked up his Wu Xi Sword and flew straight at Zhen Ting, stabbing it into his body. At the same time, a stream of chaotic energy entered Qu Yi’s body, disrupting the flow of his magic essence.
Instantly, both Zhen Ting’s Soul Flower and his internal magic essence were lost.
“Fellow cultivator, your Soul Flower is quite useful. With the power of a mid-level Earth Soul Demon from my Life Core, my strength can now stabilize,” Qu Yi said happily.
His Life Core had already consumed a mid-level Earth Soul Demon’s Soul Flower, allowing him to reach that rank but still lacking stability. Now, with Zhen Ting’s Soul Flower, his strength could finally be stabilized.
Zhen Ting let out a scream, and his life force ceased instantly.
Soon, the Life Core absorbed all of Zhen Ting’s Soul Flower and quickly returned to Qu Yi’s Soul Space, protecting it.
Immediately, Qu Yi entered the Inch Realm Sphere.
The core disciples at the lower Earth Soul Demon level, who were in charge of the disciples’ trials, also noticed the battle energy in this area. Four core disciples flew over, detecting the fluctuations of Earthly Energy in this space.
“Huh, there’s an aura of an alternate dimension. Could it be that a powerhouse at the Earth Soul Demon level fought here just now?”

“It seems the battle didn’t last long; the victor has already flown away.”
“No need for anyone to worry about it. Since they’re not here to target our Earth Soul Demon experts, we can ignore them.”
“Everyone, go back to supervising the disciples’ trials.”
Soon, after observing the surroundings, these disciples decided to ignore everything there.
※※※
Qu Yi emerged from the Dimensional Ball and flew swiftly in one direction.
Just earlier, the Divine Tool God had told Qu Yi about an elder lurking in the area, so he rushed there immediately.
Qu Yi wasn’t afraid of spatial restrictions, and with the life core of the Soul Flower enabling sudden attacks, he had the strength to deal with those elders.
Of course, he hadn’t used the top-grade immortal weapon, the Heaven-Sweeping Sword, yet. If he did, killing higher-ranked Earth Soul Demon experts would be effortless.
But using the Heaven-Sweeping Sword would only make things worse for Qu Yi.
Back then, among the fifteen people chasing Emperor Hao, three from the Demon Realm survived and brought news of Emperor Hao back to their realm. Therefore, Qu Yi dared not use the Heaven-Sweeping Sword lightly. If someone in the Demon Realm detected its presence, he would be wanted by the entire realm and forced to constantly hide—a truly troublesome situation.
It wasn’t long before Qu Yi arrived at a canyon, where another elder was lurking.
“Another one,” Qu Yi smiled slightly before vanishing in an instant.
In an instant, he reached the bottom of the canyon, in front of a stone cave, and called out gently, “Fellow cultivator, come out.”
A man with a fierce appearance rushed out of the cave angrily, holding a black sword high.
“Who are you? How dare you disturb my meditation?” the man shouted angrily.
Qu Yi blew out a breath, filled with contempt, before smiling and saying, “Fellow cultivator, you’re unlucky. Hand over your life.”
The man was stunned.
Suddenly, the life core floated out from Qu Yi’s head and flew toward the man’s head, emitting thousands of golden rays.
“You…” The man was filled with anger, unease, and fear.
Qu Yi didn’t bother with him. He drew the Wu Xi Sword and flew forward to strike.
Another expert at the mid-level Earth Soul Demon rank.
Over the following time, relying on the Divine Tool God’s immortal perception, Qu Yi discovered one lurking elder after another and rushed over to deal with them.
His life core had now reached the strength of a mid-level Earth Soul Demon, allowing him to handle a single elder alone. So as long as Qu Yi arrived, those hidden elders wouldn’t be able to escape death.
All forty elders sent by Zhuang Guangming were killed!

On a mountain peak, Qu Yi took out his communication card and sent a message to Long Huwei: “Brother Huwei, I’ve dealt with those forty elders.”
