Chapter 361: void tower

Chapter 361: void tower

"The Blood Asura Clan's supreme treasure, the asura sword?!"

"To think it's a member of the Blood Asura Clan? The Blood Asura Clan's territory wasn't within the scope of that great war back then. Could it be that the Blood Asura Clan located this ruin and crossed borders to come here?"

Within the dead, silent land, a faint light gradually began to shine.

Immediately after, a huge, heart-like luminous object appeared above Qin Xuan and Leng Li, resembling a bright moon.

Before the two of them stood a large bird-man, appearing like a falcon.

The bird-man looked Qin Xuan and Leng Li over, saying playfully, "The self-important Blood Asura Clan would actually form a friendship with the Human Race?"

"Shut up! Who said I was from the Blood Asura Clan?!"

A fierce expression appeared on Leng Li's face.

Calling her a member of the Blood Asura Clan was no different from poking at her sore spot.

With killing intent boiling in her heart, she wielded the asura sword and charged rapidly toward the bird-man to slaughter him.

The asura sword continuously bloomed with radiance; however, the bird-man's speed was surprisingly rapid.

Every time the asura sword was about to hit, he was able to dodge it without a hair's breadth of error.

He did not suffer any damage; instead, the giant luminous object hanging overhead was ravaged by the asura sword's sword light, appearing with dense cracks.

"Enough."

Qin Xuan spoke up, stopping her.

If this continued, the bird-man wouldn't die.

But the heart of the Celestial Race Patriarch—who might be his future father-in-law—might collapse first!

He looked at the bird-headed, human-bodied alien and said with a smile, "I imagine Your Excellency was once an existence beyond the God Realm. Now, skulking within someone else's body, isn't that a bit too disgraceful?"

Inside the Celestial Race Patriarch's body, there were many remnant souls, but this was the first time he had seen one like this bird-man before him that could still retain its consciousness.

Clearly, his former cultivation level exceeded the God Realm.

Otherwise, he would have long since devolved into an unconscious remnant soul that only knew how to kill.

"Don't try that on me." The bird-man's eyes were full of disdain. "You're still too green to play these little tricks with me!"

"You want to save someone, and we want to get out. Why not make a deal? As long as you hand over a hundred or so Celestial God Clan members, regardless of their talent, as long as we can reside within their bodies, we can release this person completely unharmed!"

After saying this.

He snapped his fingers, and from the depths of the darkness, several bizarre-looking Yao Race remnant souls brought over a cage.

Imprisoned within the cage was the Celestial Race Patriarch's already riddled spiritual body.

Seeing Qin Xuan, the Celestial Race Patriarch's eyes lit up, then he immediately urged, "Young Master Qin, don't worry about me, you must leave this place!"

"And do not agree to their demands! Otherwise, this land will face a catastrophe!"

"After you get out, burn my body along with them. These guys will definitely be doomed!"

Those great Yao remnant souls each drew weapons targeting spiritual bodies and frantically whipped the Celestial Race Patriarch's spiritual body, cursing, "You talk too much, damn it!"

"You're already a bird in a cage, yet you keep yapping away!?"

"Shut up!"

The leading bird-man looked at Qin Xuan and said, "This is the current Celestial Race Patriarch, and he is at the Peak of the King Realm. No matter how you look at it, his life is worth a hundred Celestial God Clan members, right?"

"They are just some tribesmen, aren't they? After handing them over to us, the Celestial God Clan can just reproduce more. We aren't asking for any of your talented Prodigies!"

"Furthermore, once we have a place to reside, we won't even look at these few pathetic weaklings here."

It had to be said that the bird-man's request was not excessive.

At least in Qin Xuan's view, it was reasonable.

Even if those Celestial God Clan members knew of the bird-man's request, they would probably consider it.

He did not refuse, but was more curious, asking, "Even if we hand over some bodies to let you occupy the nest, that would only be skulking in a corner, only able to act domineering in this ruin, with a lifespan of at most several tens of thousands of years."

"You say you don't look at the small fry here, could it be that you have a passage to leave this ruin and head to the Hongmeng Continent?"

The bird-man shook his head. "The Dao has already been imprinted and completely stripped away. This ruin cannot return, and there is no passage to the Hongmeng Continent."

"However, there is a glimmer of hope in everything; the God Ruins is the only bridge connecting the two places."

"As long as the Celestial God Clan hands over the void tower they seized this time, perhaps there is a possibility of going to the Hongmeng Continent."

Qin Xuan looked at the Celestial Race Patriarch's imprisoned spiritual body and asked curiously, "So, the thing the Celestial God Clan was searching for on my behalf is this void tower?"

The Celestial Race Patriarch nodded. "It is indeed the void tower. However, after the research of my Celestial God Clan's Second Ancestor, the void tower is exactly the fourth level of the tower body that Young Master Qin requires."

Swish—

The great Yao remnant souls, led by the bird-man, stared at Qin Xuan in unison, their eyes glowing with greedy light. "If that's the case."

"Then the first three levels of the void tower are all on you, right?"

"Capture him alive! Seize that ancient tower. With this tower by our side, we won't need to attach ourselves to bodies, and we can still protect our remnant souls!"

Upon learning the information about the ancient tower, the bird-man and many remnant souls that still retained consciousness charged recklessly.

Along with those masterless remnant souls, driven by bloodthirsty thoughts, they swarmed toward Qin Xuan and Leng Li.

Whoosh—

The asura sword continuously bloomed with radiance, and one by one, the remnant souls were shredded.

However, those remnant souls led by the bird-man moved in tricky ways and possessed considerable strength.

They were far from what the current Leng Li could slaughter.

Once she went all out, before she could kill the bird-man, the Celestial Race Patriarch's body would disintegrate first.

Crack—

The bird-man shot out, grabbed Qin Xuan by the neck, and lifted him up, shouting angrily, "Hand over the ancient tower! Such a supreme treasure is not something you can control!"

Leng Li, with an urgent expression, wanted to rescue him, but she didn't expect that in the next second, the situation would suddenly change.

"You've just abandoned the speed you're most proud of right in front of me?"

"Could it be that in your eyes, you think you are stronger than me now?"

Qin Xuan grabbed the bird-man's wrist and applied slight force. Bang, bang, bang—The Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power, raging and boiling, surged toward the bird-man's remnant soul.

His remnant soul shook one after another, and endless soul light began to dissipate.

"How is this possible?"

"You are just a spiritual body at the Peak of the King Realm, how could you have such combat power?!"

The bird-man's face showed fear, and when he wanted to escape, he had already been imprisoned by the Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power!

"Kill him!"

"Save the big bird!"

"..."

Seeing this, the remaining remnant souls abandoned Leng Li and swarmed toward Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan did not talk nonsense either. He operated the Exquisite Heart-Burning Art and the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation simultaneously, formed a fist seal, and took them out one by one with a punch.

He accepted all comers.

And slaughtered them all!

After dealing with some of the leading great Yao remnant souls, Qin Xuan did not forget to use the Nirvana Fire to repair the Celestial Race Patriarch's riddled body.

He looked at the bird-man in the cage and said with a smile, "Speak, tell me, how much do you actually know about the ancient prison-suppressing tower?"

Leng Li walked to Qin Xuan's side and said annoyedly, "Since you had the confidence, why did you pretend to be no match for this bird-man?"

Qin Xuan shrugged. "His speed was too fast. If I didn't throw myself into the trap, it would be easy for accidents to happen."

Leng Li said with surprise, "His speed can beat yours?"

Qin Xuan shook his head. "Not really, it's just that inside this Celestial Race Patriarch's body, if he tried to escape with all his might and destroyed the body, resulting in mutual destruction, I wouldn't be able to slaughter him before the Celestial Race Patriarch's body was destroyed."

The bird-man swallowed his saliva and cursed secretly, "Monster!"

He thought that relying on his speed, he could defeat the human before him.

It turned out that after regretting for half a day, this guy was just worried that he would destroy the Celestial Race Patriarch's body.

From beginning to end, they were never even taken seriously by this spiritual body at the Peak of the King Realm!

"I told you to speak, what are you spacing out for?"

Qin Xuan raised his hand and gave the bird-man a slap, urging, "What exactly is going on with the ancient prison-suppressing tower and the void tower?!"

The bird-man shook his head. "I don't know what that ancient tower is called either. I only know that one level of the tower body was called Void by that supreme expert. He once used this tower to imprison this fragment of the Hongmeng Continent, sparing it from the harassment of void creatures, and also preventing us remnant souls from forcibly entering this ruin."
