The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

In the deep and boundless demonic realm, Li Qing controlled the Heart-Eating Demon to cast a spell, releasing a soul power to wrap the "fog bead" in order to resist the ubiquitous demonic energy that could contaminate magic weapons and corrode the soul.

Afterwards, he concentrated his mind highly, controlling this hideous-looking "bone demon" and moving through the inky black, swirling demonic energy.

All around, the faint traces of spiritual energy that once remained had long been devoured by the thick demonic energy, replaced by a pure evil force that seemed to be able to solidify the air.

There was a depressing and weird atmosphere in the air. Even monsters like the Heart Devourer would hum from time to time, as if they were in awe of the power of this land.

What is particularly eye-catching are the stone pillars that stand out and are densely distributed around.

They were more spectacular than the ones Li Qing had seen before, and their number had doubled. They were like giants in the forest, pointing straight to the sky. Each one emitted a faint glow, echoing the thick demonic energy around them.

Li Qing knew very well that these huge stone pillars were the "tentacles" of the demonic power extending outward.

Through these tentacles, the strange-looking brain-like demon that was encountered at the beginning can further expand his spiritual awareness and strength, making his spiritual awareness that controls the entire demon realm even stronger.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, because he knew that after the fall he suffered last time and the growth during this period of time, the strength of that demon must have far exceeded before.

For a demon like this with strange abilities and ever-increasing strength, any act of underestimating the enemy would be fatal.

But even facing such a serious situation, Li Qing remained calm and did not show the slightest panic.

At this moment, he had already entered this mysterious formation, but did not feel anything unusual.

From this, it can be inferred that the demon may not have noticed his arrival yet.

This may be related to the loose management of this area by the demons, Li Qing thought secretly in his heart as he looked at the demons wandering around aimlessly.

He should have lived his life like this from the beginning, perhaps he would have gotten a different result.

Li Qing couldn't help but recall the difficult experience of destroying the ascension platform last time, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

If I had been more cautious and used the same strategy to sneak in, perhaps the outcome would have been completely different.

But time cannot be reversed, he can only turn this regret into motivation to move forward.

At this moment, he had only one goal - to find the ascension platform that could connect the two worlds and provide the demons with a steady supply of "troops".

At that moment, Li Qing calmed his mind, and then used his previous impression of the terrain of this demonic area and the Heart-Eating Demon's keen perception to move silently in this dangerous area.

The eyes of the Heart-Eating Demon seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and demonic energy, providing Li Qing with a wider field of vision than the Soul-Exploring Eyes, helping him avoid one wandering demon after another.

Time passed quietly, and every second that passed was accompanied by the quiet accumulation of anxiety in Li Qing's heart, like an undercurrent surging, trying to break through this extremely depressing atmosphere.

In this world completely devoured by black evil energy, light seems to have become an unattainable luxury, and Li Qing, this lone "hero", is facing the most difficult challenge in his life.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he was still wandering around in the Demon Realm like a headless fly.

Just when this anxiety was about to reach its peak, an extremely sharp roar cut through the night sky like a sharp blade, not only tearing the silence of the Demon Realm, but also seemed to touch some ancient and mysterious mechanism.

This roar, with endless majesty, instantly plunged all the demons in the entire Demon Realm into unprecedented panic and awe.

They stopped all their movements. The figures that were originally wandering in the darkness seemed to be pulled by invisible ropes at this moment, and they all rushed towards the direction where the sound came from, as if there was a fate they had to face there.

Li Qing keenly captured this change. Although he had many questions in his mind, his years of practice experience told him that the wisest choice at this time was to hide his body and move with the flow.

He followed silently behind the demon team, using the Heart-Eating Demon's superb illusion technique and eyes that adapted to demonic energy to carefully observe everything in front of him.

As the distance shortened, an incredible phenomenon gradually emerged - the demons in front of them disappeared one by one from sight without any warning, like stars being swallowed.

However, the subsequent demons were unaware of this and continued to step into the unknown territory one after another, as if they were pulled by some invisible force towards a predetermined destination.

Li Qing's heart moved, and he immediately realized that there must be a mystery behind this.

He deduced that these demons may have stepped into a complex and powerful formation, which not only concealed their bodies but also contained powerful illusions.

The Demon Realm is already the base camp of the Heavenly Demon. It is safe for the Heavenly Demon, but they still want to set up a formation here. There must be some important reason. Perhaps the ascension platform is there.

After just a slight hesitation in his mind, Li Qing quickly made up his mind to take a risk, follow the footsteps of the demon, and explore the scene hidden behind the fog.

When he finally stepped into the area where the demon disappeared, an inexplicable force instantly enveloped him, and the scene before his eyes changed drastically.

The darkness and evil spirit seemed to be swept away by a mysterious force, and replaced by a completely different world.

Although the sky here is dim, it is no longer oppressive. Although the surroundings are barren, there is a hint of primitive vitality. Several bare mountains stand in the distance.

Demons kept appearing out of nowhere in all directions in the space and gathered towards the distant mountains.

This sudden change made Li Qing stunned for a few moments, and he came to his senses only after the demon behind him passed by him.

Immediately afterwards, Li Qing did not dare to slack off at all. He immediately controlled the Heart-Eating Demon and continued to follow the trail of the Heavenly Demon in front of him, heading towards the depths of the mountains.

Now he should be in the core of the Demon Realm. Every step is full of unknowns and dangers, so he must be more careful in his behavior.
