Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Chapter 50 Demon Saint Cemetery
 

Separated by a great distance, the two of them couldn’t clearly see the other’s features.

But the one who could come to the Abyss Sky Lock at this moment must undoubtedly be that young boy.

“Hao Er…”

Ji Qingqing’s eyes brimmed with tears, wanting to follow the Abyss Sky Lock down to welcome him, but the pardon from the Family Head hadn’t arrived yet, and leaving the island without permission would be considered an escape attempt.

She had waited over ten years and didn’t want any unforeseen complications.

The two supported each other, focusing on the two figures climbing upward.

At the same time, on the Abyss Sky Lock.

Li Hao held the Observing Heaven Mirror and saw two figures standing in front of the Abyss Sky Stele entwined with the Abyss Sky Lock, one of them being his mother, Ji Qingqing.

She was staring intently at the chain, her eyes filled with excitement and tears, which made him speed up his steps even more.

Sensing Li Hao’s acceleration, Ji Yun Yue gave a bitter smile; on this Abyss Sky Lock, where their power was restrained and they could only climb physically, Li Hao’s movement technique was even faster than hers.

As the two sped forward, suddenly, a strange feeling passed through Li Hao’s heart.

Following this sensation, he glanced down.

He saw that the abyss beneath him was pitch black, with no light visible, but as he stared, suddenly, a crimson glow seemed to appear in the abyss.

Li Hao paused slightly, blinking, questioning if he was seeing things.

Before he could focus again, suddenly, a terrifying tremor transmitted from the abyss.

With a loud bang!

The entire abyss shook, the cliffs near the desolate sea trembled, and the three Abyss Sky Locks vibrated violently.

At the same time, the nearby desolate sea seemed to be affected by the shock, and the once relatively calm surface suddenly surged into waves of fury.

“What?”

Ji Yun Yue’s steps stopped, clutching the chain and looking on in astonishment.

They saw scarlet light emerging from the abyss, becoming increasingly intense until suddenly a massive tentacle shot out, wrapping around their Abyss Sky Lock.

That tentacle seemed a thousand feet long, and as it coiled around the Abyss Sky Lock, the immense power nearly dragged the entire Qiu Tian Dao into a downfall.

This sudden and intense tremor startled everyone on Qiu Tian Dao.

Some were in deep slumber, some were barely alive, some were secretly practicing cultivation techniques, but all were startled by this violent shock.

Qiu Tian Dao shook vigorously like a small boat in a storm.

“What’s happening?!”

“Is Qiu Tian Dao collapsing?”

“Look, the island is descending!”

On Qiu Tian Dao, a dozen or so prisoners were all shocked, their originally dull and droopy eyes now wide open, and they rushed from their cave mansions to the edge of Qiu Tian Dao.

As they saw the scarlet tentacle wrapped around and dragging the Abyss Sky Lock, all these prisoners were terrified.

“What is that?”

“Demons? How is that possible!”

“With that size, that aura, my heavens, could there really be such demons guarding the abyss?!”

“Could it be that someone attempted an escape and angered this guardian demon?”

These prisoners had been here for varying lengths of time and knew little about Qiu Tian Dao, and at this moment, they were all horrified—this was unheard of.

The abyss was said to be a pit punched by the Ancestor, endlessly deep.

But now, could a demon really crawl out of it?

An old man, ragged and emaciated like a beggar, lay on the edge of Qiu Tian Dao, staring at the scarlet tentacle, his eyes revealed astonishment, then he laughed aloud:

“Haha, is the Ji Family now imprisoning even the Heavenly Prides with Holy Bones here?”

“They should be destroyed, the Ji Family should be annihilated…”

He laughed wildly, but his face was lined with old tears.

Many of the prisoners recognized this old man, known as the old madman, a prisoner locked up here since ancient times, always raving and saying incomprehensible things, with no one willing to pay him any mind.

At the Abyss Sky Stele, Ji Qingqing and Nurse Ning were almost thrown off Qiu Tian Dao by this sudden tremor.

The two hurriedly grabbed the Abyss Sky Stele to stabilize themselves, but they saw Qiu Tian Dao rapidly descending, continuously shaking, the island’s buoyancy pushing upward while the tentacle dragging the Abyss Sky Lock pulled downward, tilting the entire island.

“What is that thing?”

Ji Qingqing saw the scarlet tentacle on the chain; it was so massive that it was visible for thousands of miles.

Her face was full of shock, *this abyss had never been known to harbor such terrifying demons throughout history.*

Nurse Ning also looked terrified, her complexion pale, unaware of the cause.

At this moment, on another Abyss Sky Lock, Li Tian Gang and Ji Yunqing were also scared by this sudden tremor, nearly losing their grip on the chain and falling.

Seeing the distant Abyss Sky Lock wrapped in a tentacle, Ji Yunqing’s pupils contracted in horror: “What is that thing?”

He hadn’t heard of it either, feeling it was beyond belief.

“Is it a monster guarding this place?” Li Tian Gang also changed color and hurriedly asked.

Ji Yunqing didn’t answer, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes, sensing the power of the Great Tao on that tentacle, *the Ji Family couldn’t possibly tame a demon of this caliber.*

“Run!”

On the Abyss Sky Lock, Li Hao clearly saw the movements of the tentacle, feeling deeply alarmed, and instantly exerted all his strength, pulling Ji Yun Yue forward.

Ji Yun Yue also reacted, her face turning pale, the tentacle had coiled around the end of the chain, there was no retreat, she could only escape to Qiu Tian Dao.

She immediately burst into full speed, using the Ji Family’s movement technique to catch up with Li Hao.

While the two fled at full speed, several tentacles shot out in succession from the abyss, gripping all three chains.

All three chains were pulled downward simultaneously, tilting the dish-shaped Qiu Tian Dao back to balance, but causing it to rapidly plummet.

In the abyss, a huge crimson silhouette, like a Blood Lotus, gradually emerged.

The thousand-foot-long tentacles extended from behind the Blood Lotus, and in its center, there was a massive human face—eyes tightly shut, skin pale to the extreme—a strikingly beautiful woman’s face.

The woman’s red lips were gently closed, her eyes peacefully shut, her expression serene as if she were in a deep slumber.

But this stunning face had a diameter of several thousand feet; as the Blood Lotus rose, it continuously pushed forward, and despite its beauty, it sent a chill down one’s spine.

More and more tentacles shot out from behind the Blood Lotus, entwining the chains, pulling Qiu Tian Dao, in high altitude, in a straight downward descent.

“That is the Demon Saint recorded in the ancestor’s notes, Wen Ren Ji!”

On Qiu Tian Dao, some of the older prisoners, seeing the giant face of the Blood Lotus, were suddenly stupefied and disoriented.

“Blood Lotus, Demon Face, Purple Soul-Capturing Eyes—one look can seize a person’s soul, two looks can strip away their Dao Heart, three looks can cause the enlightened to fall!”

“This, this is the Demon Saint!!”

Some of the older prisoners felt close to madness, nearly suffocating.

On the two Abyss Sky Locks, both Ji Yunqing and Ji Yun Yue recognized Wen Ren Ji, their faces twisting in horror, their very souls feeling as if they would flee their bodies in fright.

This was the Demon Saint!

A being on par with the Ancestor!

“Rumor has it that the Ancestor suppressed several Demon Saints, and wasn’t this Wen Ren Ji slain by the Ancestor? How could she be here?”

“Quick, run!”

Ji Yun Yue and Ji Yunqing were both terrified to their cores, although they were in the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, before this Demon Saint, they were akin to children; a mere breath from her might kill them.

“This is the Demon Saint, run!”

Ji Yun Yue urgently shouted to Li Hao.

Li Hao’s heart seized, a Demon Saint; no wonder he felt that sense of horror, threatening to numb his entire body, making him unable to move.

The two of them fled for their lives.

The Abyss Sky Lock was pulled, emitting the sound of metal clashing, yet, despite its incredible resilience, it didn’t break.

Meanwhile, the exquisite woman on the Blood Lotus slightly opened her mouth, her perfect red lips splitting to reveal a mouth densely filled with thorn-like spikes, leading into a pitch-black depth.

Waves of powerful suction force poured into her mouth, Li Hao and Ji Yun Yue felt as if their bodies were bound by countless threads, making their ascent extremely difficult.

On Qiu Tian Dao, the numerous prisoners witnessed this scene and were scared out of their wits.

“It, it wants to swallow the entire island!”

“Quick, push off the Abyss Sky Stele—I’d rather ascend than perish in its mouth, I’ve heard being killed by a Demon Saint leaves no chance for rebirth.”

The prisoners were slightly panicked, urgently rushing to the Abyss Sky Stele in various locations.

The old man known as the old madman lay on the ground, laughing loudly:

“It’s pointless, it’s pointless! This Wen Ren Ji was the Demon Pet under the Ancestor, ambushing the Ancestor upon his Entering Saint; she was then suppressed by the Ancestor.”

“Surely the visitor carries a Holy Bone, the Saint’s aura on them has awakened her from the abyss.”

“Haha, who knew the Ancestor buried such a Demon Saint here, this entire desolate sea is her tombstone…”

In the chaos, no one paid attention to his words, and a dozen people dispersed hastily toward the three Abyss Sky Stele locations.

Hearing these words, Ji Qingqing’s face drastically changed, angrily shouting: “Stop, which one of you dares!”

She released her Divine Soul, standing in mid-air, emitting a powerful Divine Light, blocking these criminals who attempted to overturn the Abyss Sky Stele.

The Abyss Sky Locks couldn’t be cut, but the Abyss Sky Stele buried on Qiu Tian Dao could be moved; thus, even if Qiu Tian Dao rose into the sky and they were burned to death by the Scorching Sun Holy Fire, a slight chance at rebirth would still remain.

“Get out of the way, don’t stop us!”

Someone roared, trying to rush toward Ji Qingqing.

But Ji Qingqing’s entire body radiated Divine Light like treasured robes, a frost-like long sword fell into her hand, and she struck out with a single slash.

With a loud noise, Sword Qi arched like a rainbow, slicing that person, tearing a large swath of blood and forcing them back.

In her youth, she was among the Ji Family’s Heavenly Prides; though not the top tier, as she aged, after years of cultivation, she had reached the Ultimate Study Realm even before being imprisoned.

Additionally, arriving on Qiu Tian Dao for less than two years, her internal power was barely tapped, and now with anger in her heart, she unleashed an extraordinary force.

The other prisoners, seeing the divine might Ji Qingqing displayed, turned pale, angrily exclaiming:

“Do you want us all to die?”

“Exactly, if you want to die, don’t drag us with you, we still want to reincarnate as humans!”

These prisoners angrily argued.

Ji Qingqing, however, ignored them, her Divine Soul soared to the sky of the island, seeing the prisoners dispersing toward the other two Abyss Sky Stele, her eyes gathered in murderous intent, wielding the Divine Sword to slash, driving those people back.

“As long as I’m here, no one can touch it!”

Ji Qingqing stood with her back against the Abyss Sky Stele, her body radiating Divine Flame like a gown, speaking furiously like a descending Goddess.

“You, you’re utterly unreasonable!”

The numerous prisoners, intimidated and obstructed by her, were both frightened and enraged.
