Chapter 49: Killing Two More People

The life core of the Soul-Collecting Flower now possessed the strength of a high-ranking Earth Soul Immortal. As soon as it appeared, it emitted a thousand golden rays, all aimed at the head of that powerful warrior.
Although these thousand golden rays were fewer than the ten thousand emitted by the life core before, their power was even more terrifying.
“Soul-Stripping Threads.”
“What the hell is this?” The warrior immediately sensed something wrong with his Soul Flower and cried out in panic.
Qu Yi responded by swinging his Vast Heaven Sword. The power of the Fire World once again formed a red giant sword, which flew toward the warrior.
With Qu Yi’s chaotic body and the Star Luo Ding, a magical artifact that stored primordial energy, he had no shortage of Fire World Essence, allowing him to fully unleash his Vast Heaven Sword at all times.
The warrior’s Soul Flower, affected by the life core, made his reactions much slower. Just as he tried to dodge the attack of the red giant sword, his right arm was still cut off.
“He managed to dodge again,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
The warrior quickly stopped the bleeding and used his Immortal Essence to regrow his right arm.
At this point, the warrior realized he couldn’t defeat Qu Yi and only wanted to leave and escape. But it was too late—the life core was the nemesis of the Soul Flower; once touched, it would relentlessly attack.
Obviously, the warrior didn’t know soul magic. His Soul Flower was constantly under the influence of the life core, making it difficult for him to unleash the power of the world. As a result, his speed was now almost on par with Qu Yi’s.
“Who are you? I’m Qiu Min from the Wood-Cutting Alliance. My brother is the leader of this expedition—Yue Di. If you harm me, my brother won’t spare you,” the warrior said calmly, addressing Qu Yi.
Yue Di was Qiu Yu’s title in the Demon World. This time, the 200 powerful demons of the Wood-Cutting Alliance were led by Qiu Yu, who possessed the cultivation level of a high-ranking Heaven Soul Demon.
“What good is bringing up your brother? Eventually, your brother will also die at my hands,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
Immediately afterward, the Vast Heaven Sword surged with powerful fluctuations of Fire World Essence and was swung again swiftly, forming another red giant sword made of Fire World power, aimed at Qiu Min’s head.
“Don’t think you can triumph. Even if I die, you’ll die with me.”
Affected by the life core, Qiu Min’s reactions were slow. Realizing he could no longer resist the red giant sword, he decided to self-destruct, killing Qu Yi as well.

As soon as those words were spoken, an empty space suddenly formed around Qiu Min. All the energy seemed to be absorbed into his body, causing his internal energy to condense to an extreme degree. A powerful Tianpo Demon had already formed at least one planetary world within his body; if that planet exploded, it would surely kill any opponent who was a powerful Dihun Demon. But Qu Yi was no ordinary person. When he saw that Qiu Min truly intended to self-destruct, he immediately took out the Xingluo Ding and flew above its core. Boom! The power of the Muxing World surged violently in all directions, causing the ground to collapse. A cavity formed in the surrounding area of several thousand meters. At the moment of Qiu Min’s self-destruction, Qu Yi quickly stored the core inside the Xingluo Ding and let the power of the Muxing World strike it. After the explosion, the Xingluo Ding remained unharmed. Once the energy chaos subsided slightly, Qu Yi entered the Cunjie Ball. ※※※ “Who is it?” Qiu Yu, the leader of the Mufa Alliance, suddenly shouted angrily on the surface of the moving planet. His face was pale with anger, mixed with deep sorrow. “My brother, my dear brother—who killed him? Who?” Qiu Yu cried out in fury again. Earlier, he had tried to communicate with his brother Qiu Min as usual but received no response. Soon, he took out a soul card—Qiu Min’s soul imprint card stored with him—and found that Qiu Min’s soul imprint had disappeared. A soul card is an item used by cultivators in the Demon Realm to store their soul imprints, allowing them to determine whether a cultivator’s soul has died. Hearing this, many demons from the Mufa Alliance immediately flew up from underground and gathered around Qiu Yu. “Emperor Yu, what happened?” they asked as soon as they landed. Qiu Yu’s face was twisted in anger, his breathing uneven, his eyes red. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Someone killed Qiu Min. On this moving planet, someone actually attacked our people from the Mufa Alliance.” “What!” The demons cried out in anger. Although they all knew that conflicts were inevitable among the demons of the five alliances during the struggle for the Luohun Stones, they were all aware that no one would resort to ambushes. After all, powerful demons were rare in the Demon Realm, each having taken hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions of years to cultivate. Thus, the five alliances had an unspoken rule: powerful demons could not launch secret attacks. “Emperor Yu, if someone dares to attack our people from the Mufa Alliance, it’s a provocation against us.”

“Imperial Jade Emperor, Qiu Min has already reached the cultivation level of a two-star Heavenly Soul Demon. Moreover, he possesses the Green Ling Axe at the three-star Heavenly Soul Demon level. Anyone who can kill him must be at least at the four-star Heavenly Soul Demon level.”
“Imperial Jade Emperor, let’s go to where Qiu Min was just now to look for traces of the battle.”
In a moment, several Heavenly Demons spoke up with suggestions.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yu immediately nodded and shouted fiercely, “Good! I’ll go to where Qiu Min was right away. You continue searching for the Soul Stone in the planet. Remember to keep in touch with me at any time.”
Although angry, Qiu Yu still remembered the goal of this mission—the Soul Stone.
“Yes, Imperial Jade Emperor,” replied the powerful Heavenly Demons in unison.
Immediately afterward, Qiu Yu vanished, entering underground.
※※※
Inside the Dimensional Sphere.
“Haha, this Green Ling Axe is actually at the three-star Heavenly Soul Immortal level. Great, Mu Zun can use it for a while.” Qu Yi stood on the lawn, wielding a large green axe.
Qiu Min’s self-destruction did not destroy the Green Ling Axe, which was taken by Qu Yi.
“What’s there to be happy about? There are still three other treasures at the Heavenly Soul Immortal level. Get ready; we’ll soon reach the next target.” The God of Weapons lay on a soft chair, speaking lazily.
The Golden Shadow Sword and Green Ling Axe obtained by Qu Yi dealt with the handy treasures of Jin Zun and Mu Zun. However, Fire Zun, Water Zun, and Earth Zun still lacked suitable treasures for now.
“Alright, I’ll wait for your order before going out to fight,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
After a while, the God of Weapons spoke up, “Qu Yi, go ahead.”
Qu Yi immediately sent his spiritual sense out of the Dimensional Sphere to sense the surroundings.
A powerful two-star Heavenly Soul Demon from the Fire Slaughter Alliance appeared—a middle-aged man with a fiery red face, exuding a violent aura.
“Damn it! After searching for so long, the aura of that Soul Stone is getting farther away. Fine, you guys fight it out. I’ll just rest here and wait for the Soul Stone to fly here.” The man’s voice was like a bell, shaking the surrounding rock layers.
After speaking, he actually sat down on the ground.
Qu Yi suddenly appeared, his face glowing with a smile, but the Heavenly Sword raised in his right hand emitted intense heat from its Fire Immortal energy, scorching the entire rock layer.
“You…” The man stood up abruptly, shouting in shock.
Qu Yi didn’t bother to pay attention. He already swung the Heavenly Sword downward—the red giant sword formed from the power of the Fire World—toward the man’s head.
The man never expected his life to end in such a way.
“I’ll kill you…” That was the man’s last words in life.

The red giant sword pierced through the giant’s head, destroying his entire body; not even the Soul Flower could escape, turning to ashes.
Qu Yi landed with a smile, shook his hair, and said lightly, “This time, it was really smooth.”
Having slain a powerful Tianpo Demon with just one sword, Qu Yi was naturally very proud.
With the giant dead, his life magic weapon remained on the ground—a bright red staff emitting terrifying fire energy.
“Qu Yi, this fire staff is actually made from a Source Fire Tree, a tree of high quality. It’s a pity this giant didn’t find a master blacksmith; otherwise, he wouldn’t have only refined it to the level of a three-star Tianpo Immortal,” the Artifact God suddenly transmitted.
Hearing this, Qu Yi happily took the fire staff and also picked up the space ring left by the giant, then immediately entered the Dimension Sphere.
As soon as he lay down on the soft chair, Qu Yi picked up the fire staff to admire it, saying aloud, “This fire staff has a very simple design, looking like it was cut into squares. Artifact God, I leave the naming to you.”
Hearing this, the Artifact God became very interested, turned to look at Qu Yi, and said with a smile, “The name is simple—let’s call it the Source Fire Staff.”
Qu Yi nodded immediately and said, “Good, it will be called the Source Fire Staff. From now on, it will be the sacred weapon of the Fire Lord.”
The Artifact God lay back down.
Under the control of the Artifact God, the Dimension Sphere continued to move deep underground.
※※※
Qiu Yu arrived at the location where Qiu Min died and discovered the huge cavity left after the battle.
The entire space was filled only with the lingering energy from the explosion of the Wood Element world.
“Brother, the person who assassinated you forced you to explode yourself.”
“Who is this person? When attacking Qiu Min, they didn’t even give him time to send me a message.”
“Hmph, it seems Qiu Min’s life magic weapon, the Qingling Axe, has been taken by the attacker. This is the only clue. As long as I find the Qingling Axe, I can determine who the murderer is.”
Qiu Yu quickly came up with several ideas and made up his mind.
“Hmph, on this moving planet, there are probably only about a hundred people capable of killing my brother. All of these hundred people are targets of my attention. As long as I wait patiently, I’ll surely find the murderer,” Qiu Yu said coldly, his lips twitching slightly.
Immediately afterward, Qiu Yu waved his right hand, creating a planet projection that opened a passage straight to the planet’s surface.
The power of these high-ranking Earth Soul Demons was truly formidable.

At this moment, under the control of the Instrument God, the Inch Realm Ball arrived beside another two-star Heavenly Soul Demon powerhouse.
