The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Chapter 516 Preparing for Ascension

Boom! !

With a deafening roar, the purple blood between the two claws exploded like fireworks, dyeing the surrounding space with a strange color.

Although the puppet that attacked from above was luckily not hit by the sharp claws, it was tightly entangled by two fifth-level ghost slaves and could not escape.

At this moment, Li Qing finally freed his hands. He stared coldly at the last puppet. The fate of this puppet was self-evident...

After killing the five puppets, the demonic power surrounding Li Qing gradually subsided, but his eyes became sharper, as if he could see through all the vanity in the world.

He glanced coldly around the battlefield, and after confirming that there was no more threat, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he felt a little surprised but satisfied with the gain from this sudden battle.

However, deep in a cave in a mountain far away from the battlefield, the mood of the Brain Eater had become extremely gloomy, and the huge single eye sunken deep in its brain was flashing with anger and unwillingness.

He never expected that the five puppets he had carefully refined would be destroyed one by one by Li Qing in such a short time. This was undoubtedly a huge blow and humiliation to him.

"Damn it! That little demon actually has such ability!" The Brain-Eating Demon shouted angrily in his heart, his spiritual consciousness was agitated, and the rocks in the cave seemed to tremble slightly because of his anger.

His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and his murderous intent towards Li Qing had reached its peak.

"I must not let him leave the Demon Realm alive! I will let him know the consequences of challenging me!" The Brain-Eating Demon thought to himself with gnashing teeth, and then quickly mobilized the demonic energy in his body, preparing to launch a more powerful attack.

But he also understood that it might be difficult to capture the Fengpeng in a short period of time with his own demonic power alone.

After all, compared to a thousand years ago, Feng Peng's current strength has far exceeded his expectations.

So, he turned to using his powerful spiritual sense and began to summon the fifth-level demons in the surrounding mountains.

Inside the cave, runes shrouded in demonic energy jumped around him. That was the unique way of communicating between him and his men.

Although his spiritual consciousness is blessed by the formation and can spread throughout the demonic realm without the need for runes to communicate, privacy is extremely important for any living being.

Therefore, he did not use his spiritual sense to spread throughout the surrounding mountains.

Even if he had, he couldn't show it to the fifth-level demon generals under his command.

Otherwise, he, who has already fallen into despair, would become alienated from these subordinates who followed him to the mortal world.

As the Brain-Eating Demon's powerful spiritual sense probed into the runes, the sky outside the cave began to become gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing that a bigger storm was about to come.

"All demon generals, listen up! Go to the valley immediately to encircle and destroy the little demon! He is near the ascension platform right now. We must stop him, dead or alive!"

The brain-eating demon's consciousness reverberated in the cave and was also transmitted to distant places through those runes. Every demon who heard this order felt the urgency and murderous intent contained in it.

Not long after, the mountains in the distance began to flash with demonic lights, which was a sign that the fifth-level demons were responding to the call and were gathering quickly.

Some of them rode on magical beasts, some controlled magical clouds, and some flew directly in their physical bodies. Each of them exuded a powerful demonic energy, like a dark tide, surging towards the valley where Li Qing was.

Li Qing seemed to have sensed something and looked up at the sky. He saw dark clouds and roaring thunder. From the mountains surrounding the valley, there were several spiritual lights and shadows fleeing towards this place.

He understood that he had to act quickly, otherwise if he delayed too long, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, Li Qing took a deep breath slowly, and then his spiritual sense moved slightly, like a breeze blowing across the lake, and silently reached into the ordinary mist bead hanging around his waist.

The next moment, as if in response to his call, a dazzling flame flashed on the surface of the mist bead, like a meteor across the night sky.

Then, a red phoenix wearing a feather skirt and emitting blazing flames appeared out of thin air in front of Li Qing.

Chi Feng's eyes were full of worry. Her gentle gaze was fixed on her husband. Her lips were slightly parted, as if she had a thousand words to say. She wanted to remind him that this trip was extremely dangerous, but she didn't know where to start.

However, Li Qing seemed to have seen through her thoughts long ago and did not give his wife any chance to speak.

His tone was firm, his eyes flashing with an unquestionable light, and he spoke first:

"Madam, time is running out and there is no time to waste. You should quickly activate the ascension platform and prepare to ascend to the spirit world."

"As for the demons outside, I will handle them. You don't have to worry about them."

Hearing this, Chi Feng's open mouth quickly closed, and a complex light flashed in her eyes, showing both concern for her husband and support for his decision.

She nodded, said nothing more, turned around and climbed onto the ancient and solemn ascension platform.

As she moved, hundreds of colorful spirit stones emitting rich spiritual power appeared out of thin air, as gorgeous as a rainbow, and were accurately dropped into the grooves on the ascension platform, providing a steady supply of energy for the upcoming ascension.

On the other side, after Li Qing finished instructing his wife, he turned his head and looked outside the soul fog. There, several demons who had just escaped were staring at him covetously.

These demons had different shapes, some were wearing black robes, some had horns on their heads. They stopped outside the black fog and did not rush in immediately as Li Qing expected. They seemed to be assessing the situation.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing was not at all panicked.

His top priority now is not to annihilate all these demons, but to ensure the smooth ascension to the spiritual world.

As long as these demons don't come in to interfere, he won't need to waste energy dealing with them.

Of course, if they dared to step into the black fog, he would use the black fog to refine them one by one and make them part of his own power.

Sure enough, not long after, Li Qing saw that the demons seemed to be having a brief communication with each other.

Afterwards, a one-eyed demon with a black glow all over its body, the Eye Demon, rushed into the black fog without hesitation.

However, its fate was already determined. With a heart-wrenching scream, the eye demon completely lost its self-consciousness and became a ghost slave in Li Qing's ghost robe, losing its freedom forever.
