The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

As Li Qing controlled the Heart-Eating Demon to speed up his escape, he followed closely behind the group of demons in front of him with strange figures and ominous auras all around them. In a moment, he quickly closed the distance with the towering mountains.

The mountains are stacked and shrouded in clouds and mist, like the most solid barrier between heaven and earth, and behind this barrier, there is an altar hidden.

Finally, when Li Qing passed through the last layer of mist, the scene before him made his heart beat faster.

Within the valley, there is an indescribable solemnity and sacredness in the silence. A huge altar stands tall, reaching into the sky, emitting a faint light that illuminates everything around it.

This altar is exactly the ascension platform that Li Qing has been searching for in the Demon Realm!

On the ascension platform, every stone brick seemed to contain the mysteries of heaven and earth. Intricate runes and totems were engraved on it, and faint fluctuations of spiritual energy flowed through it, indicating its extraordinary nature.

When he saw the ascension platform, a flash of lightning seemed to pass through Li Qing's mind. Only now did he finally think of something that he had always ignored.

That is the nature of demonic energy. It can infect people's minds and can also contaminate magic weapons and magic tools.

The ascension platform can be considered a kind of magic weapon in a sense. Since the devil has already regarded the ascension platform as his own, it is natural that he will not expose it to the demonic energy.

Otherwise, the ascension platform will inevitably be damaged over time.

But he had been searching hard in the evil spirit. Thinking of the scene at that time, he couldn't help but feel that he was really ridiculous.

The next moment, Li Qing quickly got rid of these distracting thoughts.

Now was not the time to think about these things, so he continued to observe the situation in the valley.

All around the ascension platform, tens of thousands of demons were crawling on the ground. Their postures were pious and humble, as if they were paying the highest respect to the ascension platform, and as if they were expecting some unspeakable miracle to happen.

Among these crawling demons, Li Qing inadvertently caught a few familiar "faces".

The ugly appearance of the brain-shaped demon seemed extremely dazzling even in such a dim environment.

There is also a bone demon whose body is made of piled bones, exuding a gloomy and powerful aura.

The blood demon, covered in blood, looked like a messenger from hell, and the bloody smell emanating from his body was terrifying.

In addition, there are several powerful fifth-order demons among them.

These powerful beings who had once interacted with him were now gathered here, watching together the movements of the ascension platform.

Above the ascension platform, the light gradually gathered to form a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky, as if establishing a connection with some unknown existence.

As the beam of light grew stronger, the fluctuations in spiritual energy throughout the valley became more intense, as if even the heaven and earth were shaking.

A strong sense of uneasiness and curiosity surged in Li Qing's heart. He knew very well that the activation of this ascension platform meant that either a celestial demon was ascending or a celestial demon was descending from the spiritual world.

Judging from the scene before us, it is obvious that an unprecedented powerful demon is about to come to this world.

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Li Qing's current goal was to secretly ascend to the spiritual world. At this moment, he still focused on hiding and waiting for the opportunity.

Li Qing followed the demon beside him silently and fell behind, crawling on the ground like them, as if he was worshiping the ascension platform.

As time passed mercilessly, the ascension platform in the center of the valley seemed to have become the most dazzling existence between heaven and earth.

Not only did the beam of light become more turbulent, it was also accompanied by a deafening roar, like the roar of an ancient behemoth awakening, shocking every living being present.

At the moment when chaos and light were intertwined, a stream of light as dark as ink suddenly cut through the sky in the light column, so fast that it was dizzying, as if even the space was torn apart by it.

This stream of light contained an indescribable terrifying power, and it finally landed steadily on the center of the ascension platform, stirring up circles of ripples visible to the naked eye, spreading out in all directions.

The pressure was coming, and Li Qing could feel it even though he was hiding in the mist.

He immediately used the ghost robe to control the Heart-Eating Demon beside him, making it his eyes to spy on everything.

The Heart-Eating Demon quietly raised his head, and his dark green eyes reflected the shocking scene on the ascension platform.

I saw an unprecedented powerful demon standing proudly on it with an attitude of dominating the world.

The appearance of this demon is extremely strange, as if it is the most incredible creation in the world.

It has a pair of blood-red wings, and every feather emits a scorching red glow.

And on its huge body, there are seven majestic lion heads, and each mouth seems to be able to spew out the power to destroy the world.

What is even more amazing is that its limbs are like thick elephant legs, supporting this huge body, and its back is covered with thick tortoise shell, revealing an ancient and tough aura.

This combination is undoubtedly a perfect fusion of the characteristics of various demon races, allowing Li Qing to immediately guess the identity of this demon, which must be a blood demon!

The Blood Demon is a terrifying name among the demon clan.

They do not have a fixed physical body, but can devour the essence and blood of other races, integrate the power of thousands of creatures, and shape their own terrifying form.

Especially the essence and blood of the demon clan, which they particularly like.

The blood demon in front of him was undoubtedly the best among them. The powerful aura it exuded reminded Li Qing of the feeling he had when he had glimpsed the Tianyu Demon Emperor.

Li Qing was secretly awed in his heart. He knew very well that the appearance of this blood demon was no accident. It was very likely that the demons in the human world had invited powerful assistance from the spiritual world in order to deal with the upcoming war between demons and monsters.

The future of the demon world seems to be shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds at this moment, and what is about to come is an unprecedented disaster and catastrophe.

Faced with such a situation, Li Qing could only lament that the demon world would be destroyed.

With the shocking arrival of the Blood Demon, the entire valley seemed to tremble. The low breathing of tens of thousands of demons in the valley suddenly stopped, and was replaced by a dead silence.

Only the powerful energy fluctuations on the ascension platform continued, as strong and regular as a heartbeat.

Except for the Brain-Eating Demon, Bone Demon, Blood Demon and other fifth-level demons, the surrounding demons with lower cultivation levels knelt more devoutly when they saw this. Their bodies trembled and their eyes flashed with awe and fanaticism.

Among these demons, some were wearing bone armor, with a chilling aura emanating from between their bones; some had blood-like lines covering their bodies, emitting a frightening evil power.

"Welcome the Blood Lion to help!"

Suddenly, a low and orderly voice echoed in the valley.

That was the voice made by all the demons. They used this way to express their respect for the blood demon.

The brain-eating demon that looked like a brain was suspended in mid-air, with thoughts evoked by its spiritual consciousness flowing on its surface, as if it was having some kind of profound communication with the blood demon.

The Blood Demon stood on the ascension platform, and the seven lion heads roared towards the sky at the same time. The roar pierced through the clouds, carrying endless majesty and domineering, as if even the heaven and earth changed color at this moment.

His scarlet wings slowly spread out, and each feather was like a sharp blade, shining coldly in the sunlight, releasing a suffocating feeling of oppression.
