I Have an Omen System

Chapter 317: Chapter 218: Blood Fiend Altar Master

As time went on, the three of them had slain more and more Reincarnation Miasma Demons.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, here are your twelve Miasma Soul Crystals."

After another fierce battle.

Bai Zhi reluctantly handed Qin Xuan his share of the Miasma Soul Crystals, as per their agreement.

Qin Xuan, however, accepted them without the slightest hesitation.

By now, the number of Miasma Soul Crystals in his possession had reached a staggering fifty-two.

"Master Qin, you seem to have a profound understanding of the Beast Taming Dao. Might you be willing to offer me some guidance?"

Bai Lingwei asked with a half-smile, her beautiful eyes twinkling as she looked at the Netherworld Deceitful Spider in Qin Xuan’s sleeve silently absorbing the Miasma.

"It’s merely a few minor tricks, hardly anything worth mentioning."

Qin Xuan waved his hand, changing the subject. Just as he was about to say something else...

At that very moment, something unexpected happened.

"Watch out!"

Bai Lingwei cried out sharply. Her Bone Whip lashed out in a ghastly white arc, striking a blurry, lunging Miasma Demon and forcing it back with a piercing shriek.

But she herself swayed, her face turning deathly pale as a strange purple glint appeared deep within her pupils.

Beside her, Bai Zhi hadn’t been fast enough to dodge and had already been hit.

"The Demon Ancestor descends, ten thousand demons..."

Her pretty face was blank and her eyes were glazed over. Clutching her Lifebound Longsword, she began to stagger toward Qin Xuan, intent on attacking him!

Qin Xuan, too, felt his head grow heavy as countless chaotic, twisted whispers echoed madly within his Divine Sense.

Illusions sprang up before him, his Dao Foundation wavered, and the flicker of clarity in his Spirit Platform was like a candle in the wind, on the verge of being extinguished.

Just at this critical moment.

TSSK!

A sudden, heart-piercing pain shot up from his sleeve!

Qin Xuan jolted. He looked down to see that some Demon Beast had bitten through his wrist.

A drop of a dark Qi and Blood Pearl, which contained his very life Essence, oozed from the wound. The intense pain instantly scattered some of the bewilderment, restoring a moment of clarity to his eyes.

’It’s the Netherworld Deceitful Spider!’

Qin Xuan realized in an instant.

’What a powerful Miasma Demon... I almost fell for your trick...’

Qin Xuan gritted his teeth and growled.

He formed a sword-finger, and a dazzling, supremely yang and unyielding golden flame leaped from his fingertip.

The moment the flame appeared, the surrounding cold, viscous Miasma was like snow meeting the Sun. It let out a sizzling wail and rapidly dissolved.

"True Sun Fire, purge!" Qin Xuan roared.

"AARGH!" The Miasma Demon shrieked as if its Divine Soul was being torn apart.

Its massive form contracted violently under the searing heat of the True Sun Fire.

No longer daring to linger, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and hastily fled into the depths of the Miasma.

Qin Xuan’s gaze, sharp as a blade, locked onto the fleeing black smoke.

’You think you can escape?’

With a flick of his sleeve, the Netherworld Deceitful Spider spat out a fine golden web, shooting it forward to ensnare the smoke. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Unfortunately, the Miasma Demon was too fast. Most of its form dissipated, and only a single, extremely faint fragment of information was forcibly intercepted by Qin Xuan.

’What in the world is this?’ Qin Xuan’s expression turned grim.

Through the Netherworld Deceitful Spider’s golden web, Qin Xuan felt as if he could see a wisp of the Miasma Demon’s source memory!

HUMMM—

Memory fragments flooded into his mind.

It was a primordial, ancient mountain forest.

Giant trees scraped the heavens, and vines coiled like great dragons.

A pressure that made one’s soul tremble emanated from the deepest part of the forest.

In a fleeting glimpse, Qin Xuan saw a colossal, blurry phantom. It had a human face and a tiger’s body, and it was bound by massive, mountain-like chains of bluish-black vines.

"Ten thousand demons return... all to become blood food..."

A fragmented, ancient whisper echoed.

’That’s not right. Before its death, this Miasma Demon wasn’t one of our Holy Sect Cultivators!’

Qin Xuan abruptly severed the connection between his Divine Sense and the golden web.

The flow of memory fragments stopped abruptly.

’There’s a great secret in this Poisonous Miasma Prison.’

A glint flashed through Qin Xuan’s eyes before he suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

He glanced back and saw that Bai Zhi still hadn’t woken up.

Qin Xuan raised his Lifebound Longsword, about to kill her and recover some of his Demonic Essence.

Just then, Bai Lingwei beside him gasped for breath. She staggered, her forehead beaded with sweat, and her beautiful eyes were filled with lingering fear and shock.

"What a terrifying Reincarnation Miasma Demon! To think it could trigger the Heart Demons of all three of us simultaneously... we almost fell for its trick. This creature... I fear it has already reached the Fake Pill Realm!"

She looked at Qin Xuan, her heart still pounding with fear.

Qin Xuan smiled and put away his Lifebound Longsword.

"Impressive skills, Fellow Daoist Bai."

Bai Lingwei’s heart suddenly clenched. ’Junior Brother Qin already had the intent to kill us!’

Bai Lingwei reacted quickly.

Her hand gripping the Bone Whip tightened subconsciously, but she returned a gentle smile and transferred a wisp of Demonic Essence to Bai Zhi.

"Zhi’Er, wake up!"

A trace of color returned to Bai Zhi’s deathly pale face.

’What a pity,’ Qin Xuan thought.

...

In the Holy Sect, it was common for members to kill one another; he simply hadn’t gotten the chance this time.

The three of them continued to travel through the dim, filthy Miasma.

"Wait!" Bai Zhi suddenly stopped, pointing to two figures sprawled on the ground up ahead.

The clothes on the two corpses were tattered and their flesh was shriveled, as if their life essence had been drained dry. However, their faces were still vaguely recognizable, and their skeletons were a lustrous white, suggesting they had died recently.

"It’s Wu Liuzhi from Black Evil Peak, and Zhao Qian!"

Bai Zhi’s voice was filled with shock and a hint of somber solidarity. "Wu the Sixth’s Black Death Skill had already reached the Late-stage Purple Mansion, yet even he fell in this place..."

Wu Liuzhi’s most prominent feature was the six fingers on his left hand.

This was the main reason Bai Zhi was able to recognize him.

Bai Lingwei frowned as she examined them. "Judging by the way they’ve fallen, it looks like they killed each other. A Miasma Demon must have triggered their Heart Demons, and they fought to the death in an illusion."

Qin Xuan’s gaze swept over the empty Storage Pouches at the corpses’ waists, and he shook his head slightly.

"Men die in pursuit of wealth, just as birds die in pursuit of food. There is nothing new under the Sun."

After he spoke, he didn’t give the bodies another look and continued on his way.
