Chapter 1068:

Amidst the swirling Evil Qi, the expression of the Celestial Vaulting Demon Emperor was indiscernible.

But through its silence, it was not difficult to judge that this Demon Emperor’s mood had evidently sunk completely because of Qin Qi’s abilities!

At this moment, it formed a stark contrast with Monk Wu Xiu’s previous exasperation!

Qin Qi has now killed three elite demons, next, he will be going towards the space rift.

With Qin Qi’s combat power, breaking through the space rift makes the other demons seem like mere child’s play!

Thinking of this, how could the Celestial Vaulting Demon Emperor remain calm? Its massive claw reached out from the black Evil Qi, launching a surprise attack towards Qin Qi.

Clearly, it intended to catch Monk Wu Xiu off guard and kill Qin Qi.

"Hmph!"

But Monk Wu Xiu wouldn’t let the Celestial Vaulting Demon Emperor succeed.

Having seen Qin Qi’s achievements, he knew better than anyone the value of Qin Qi. The moment that ghostly claw appeared, two talismans quickly flew from his hand.

These two talismans intertwined into an electric net, swiftly intercepting that massive ghostly claw.

Monk Wu Xiu sneered, "Celestial Vaulting Demon Emperor, you don’t think you can harm this boy under my watch, do you? Rest assured, even if I get hurt now, I won’t let this boy suffer even a bit of harm!"

"I advise you, it’s best to give up the thought of harming this boy!"

Even though the Celestial Vaulting Demon Emperor was exceedingly angry, at this moment, he was at a loss.

However, just when everyone thought Qin Qi would trample over the demon corpses and destroy that space rift!

Suddenly, from within the space rift, a chilling loud sound erupted.

Once this sound came out, everyone in Xuanling Pass felt a sense of unease in their hearts.

"Why does this sound feel so familiar..."

Many experienced cultivators vaguely thought of something.

"Wait, could it be..."

Seemingly having realized something, many cultivators’ eyes were filled with expressions of fear.

Just as everyone’s hearts were in their throats.

From the space rift, a massive crimson claw emerged, then seemed to embed itself in the air, pulling out an entire body.

Once the figure was clearly seen, many cultivators narrowed their eyes.

"Sure enough, it’s it!"

"How can it be here? Why isn’t this power at the main battlefield..."

Many gasped.

And Qin Qi, at this moment, clearly saw the face of the monster walking out of the space rift.

The opponent looked very similar to elite demons, but what was different was, this creature was extremely large, one to two times bigger than typical elite demons.

Moreover, its forehead wasn’t like ordinary demons, it had just a single exceptionally sharp horn!

Coupled with those bloody fangs, it looked incredibly fierce and terrifying.

Even without engaging, just by the Evil Qi aura it emitted, Qin Qi could easily assess its oppressive presence!

"Master, this is bad, this is... the Earth Demon!" Spirit Evil Woman in the Spirit Pet Bag suddenly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of nervousness.

Qin Qi looked confused, "What is an Earth Demon?"

Spirit Evil Woman took a deep breath, "Does the master know how demons breed? How do elite demons appear?"

"I really don’t know." Qin Qi shook his head in confusion.

Spirit Evil Woman explained, "Only by reaching the level of a Demon King can it have the capital to breed, each Demon King consumes its power every year to produce hundreds of demons."

"But these demons are the lowest level ones, only needing one Demon King, but to breed elite demons it’s not possible, it requires two demons of different genders!"

"Plus, the conditions for breeding elite demons are extremely harsh, one might say two Demon Kings can only breed one elite demon in their lifetime!"

Qin Qi wondered, "Then what’s the matter with the Earth Demon? How is it different from elite demons?"

Spirit Evil Woman took a deep breath, "Rumor has it that the conditions for the birth of an Earth Demon are even harsher, it must be bred in the Land of Evil Demons through the cultivation of Evil Qi, only then is there a tiny possibility of it being born!"

"These Earth Demons, upon birth, are different from regular demons. Their strength is terrifying, far surpassing normal demons, and the Evil Qi they cultivate is unmatched by elite demons!"

"It is said that early on, in battles between Secret Realm Cultivators and demons, these few Earth Demons posed a significant threat to Secret Realm Cultivators on the battlefield!"

Qin Qi looked puzzled at the Earth Demon, "But its aura seems to be only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage..."

Spirit Evil Woman hurriedly said, "Master, never underestimate an Earth Demon at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Once an Earth Demon’s cultivation advances to the Core Formation Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage, the threat it poses to the entire Secret Realm’s humanity will be fatal!"

"Even if this Earth Demon is at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it can utterly kill a Core Formation Stage cultivator. To hunt such an Earth Demon, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator is necessary!"

"These Earth Demons are the trump cards of these demons; once deployed, ordinary cultivators are completely unable to effectively block them!"

Qin Qi felt a chill running down his spine.

"What did you say? Even Core Formation Stage cultivators are no match for this Earth Demon?"

Spirit Evil Woman gravely replied, "That’s right, these Earth Demons possess unusual Divine Skills and techniques different from regular demons, even the protective energy of Core Formation Stage cultivators cannot resist the invasion of this Evil Qi!"

"Master, you must be cautious, if it really doesn’t work, you should leave. After all, dealing with an Earth Demon is not your duty!"

...

Meanwhile, Monk Wu Xiu witnessed the Earth Demon’s appearance and likewise, his pupils contracted.

He was instantly horrified, "Have you demons gone mad? Bringing out an Earth Demon to break through Xuanling Pass? Aren’t you afraid that this Earth Demon might be harmed here?"

"A single Earth Demon at the peak of Foundation Establishment Stage must consume a lot of your demon resources, right?"

The Celestial Vaulting Demon Emperor cackled, "Heh, seems it’s just in time. Rest assured, once we break through Xuanling Pass, this will greatly damage humanity’s Primordial Energy! Deploying an Earth Demon, is there a problem?"

"Moreover, to resolve this Earth Demon, Monk Wu Xiu, you humans must possess the capability. As things stand, humanity’s various forces are struggling to protect themselves, probably unable to handle my trump card!"

"In that case, let the Earth Demon claim Qin Qi’s life, otherwise, the existence of this boy indeed poses no small trouble for us the Demon Race!"

Monk Wu Xiu’s expression was undoubtedly extremely ugly.

Right now, only one thought lingered in his mind.

Qin Qi, is in danger!
