System's Super Sect Chapter 981 918: Final Forbidden Area: The Enemy Reveals Himself!

The world is vast, and with the Nuwa Statue's presence, there will invariably be a Demon Body surpassing the Dragon Race in strength. After all, within the Nuwa World, demons more powerful than the Dragon Race are not an anomaly; in fact, they seem quite common.

Setting aside his thoughts, Wenping's Spiritual Power immediately surged outwards as he continued his advance into the Forbidden Land, searching for the location of the next Demon Pill. However, the instant his Perception was unleashed, ominous tempests erupted from all directions.

A sense of familiarity washed over him!

This wind!

The last time it appeared, it had exploded directly!

Giving him a taste of death itself!

And now, it had returned!

This time, Wenping clearly observed the rising tempests were suffused with a purple hue, launching their assault from a hundred meters away and instantly reaching his position.

Having attained the Earth Unrestricted realm, Wenping's reaction speed had dramatically improved. Coupled with the Sect Leader's buff enhancement, he was able to evade with the agility of a noble, swiftly dodging a hundred meters away as the tempests collided.

Boom—

The colliding tempests detonated with a thunderous roar, obliterating everything within a radius of several kilometers.

Even the skeleton of the Demon Immortal was not spared!

"This power is sufficient to instantly annihilate any entity within the Earth Unrestricted Lower and Middle Realms. Even experts in the Upper Realm would find it challenging to escape unscathed if they aren't cautious." Having been propelled hundreds of meters by the shockwave of the tempest's explosion, Wenping muttered nervously, his gaze fixed upon the devastation.

Then, his Spiritual Power rapidly permeated the surroundings, seeking out the source of the purple tempests.

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where is it?

Wenping's Spiritual Power continuously scanned every area until a sudden realization dawned upon him. He abruptly tilted his head back, gazing skyward.

A colossal demonic beast, bearing a resemblance to a tiger but adorned with dark red wings, surveyed him from a distance of a thousand meters.

Before Wenping could utter a question, a system window materialized before him.

[Qiongqi]

[Cultivation: 599 years]

[A demonic beast on the brink of becoming a Demon Ancestor, harboring hatred for all invaders and alien species...]

Upon seeing the cultivation years, Wenping couldn't suppress a gasp of astonishment, thinking, "So it was you... No wonder you managed to kill me instantly last time. Just one year away from undergoing the Thunder Tribulation to ascend as a Demon Ancestor."

The name Qiongqi was not unfamiliar to Wenping.

It was an Exotic Beast mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

While its name might not carry the same renown as Fallen Angel or Lucifer, it was a legendary exotic beast in the world he once inhabited, frequently appearing in novels centered around exotic beasts.

To encounter it in the flesh today was truly...

Damn it!

This creature had been the one to end his life previously.

Before Wenping could even gather his thoughts, Qiongqi's dark red wings abruptly unfurled, and it plummeted towards Wenping with astonishing velocity, leaving him with no time to react.

Bam—

With a single impact, Wenping was sent hurtling a thousand meters away, crashing through multiple mountains before finally coming to a halt.

A single strike had inflicted fifty percent damage to his Earthly Cyan Lotus Body!

"If I were still possessing my Fire Spirit Body, this strike would likely have been my end once more." Wenping coughed up blood and immediately took to the skies to escape, deciding that retreat was the only option as victory seemed impossible.

However, Qiongqi appeared intent on preventing Wenping's escape. It swooped towards him again, and that peculiar tempest suddenly swirled around Qiongqi's body, enveloping Wenping and sealing off any potential escape route.

As the tempest closed in around Wenping, Qiongqi materialized directly before him, its blood-stained maw opening wide to rend his head.

If captured, his life would be extinguished once more. And this time, it wouldn't be a swift demise like before, exploding into a mist of blood the instant he was struck. Qiongqi intended to devour him, which meant a laborious chewing process!

The agony of such a process...

Would be unending!

"It's truly taking me for food now." Wenping immediately brandished his Magic Wand, choosing not to allow Lucifer and the others to emerge and perish, considering this was a demonic beast with 599 Cultivation Years. He directly summoned Dark Stream Annihilation.

A wisp of black smoke emanated from the Death Qi, instantly manifesting a colossal Black Scythe upon receiving Wenping's command. It sliced through the heavens with a massive black crescent, aiming directly at Qiongqi.

Boom—

Under the force of this single scythe strike, Qiongqi was propelled a hundred meters back, tumbling through the air several times before finally stabilizing.

Indeed, it had retreated. Yet, Qiongqi seemed entirely unharmed.

Despite facing a newly emerged adversary of equal footing, Qiongqi wisely opted for an observational stance initially. Just as Wenping anticipated a brief pause, Qiongqi suddenly beat its wings.

The immense purple tempest instantly enshrouded Dark Stream Annihilation, revealing that Qiongqi's period of observation had actually been a prelude to an attack.

As the storm swirled, the colors of the sky and earth shifted dramatically. Wenping swiftly retreated ten miles, thus escaping the tempest's disruptive force. Observing from a distance, Dark Stream Annihilation brandished its Black Scythe fiercely within the tempest, yet it proved incapable of breaching the powerful onslaught.

Subsequently, Dark Stream Annihilation retracted its Black Scythe, transforming back into a shadowy Black Silhouette, which effortlessly navigated through the tempest.

"Is this the unique skill of Dark Stream Annihilation? It can phase directly through Qiongqi's assault. If it could strike the opponent in that intangible state, Qiongqi would stand no chance," Wenping mused, continuing his distant observation of the battle. He felt a slight sense of regret, as Dark Stream Annihilation had reverted to its corporeal form while executing its scythe attack.

The Black Scythe weaved through the air, carving successive colossal black crescents in the sky. Viewed from afar, the spectacle resembled a captivating dance performance. However, this particular dance exuded an undeniable ferocity.

Repeatedly, the Black Scythe and Qiongqi's claws clashed, unleashing deafening roars. The resulting shockwaves flattened all surroundings within a radius of several kilometers.

Wenping observed that despite the continuous flurry of the Black Scythe's swings, it inflicted no damage upon Qiongqi. On the contrary, Dark Stream Annihilation was consistently forced back by Qiongqi's might.

Upon witnessing this, Wenping couldn't resist querying the system, "Does Qiongqi's Demon Pill possess any form of consciousness, any will of its own?"
