Chapter 284: Mysterious Power

"The Extreme Flame Ethereal Water? My god, isn't that the sacred object that only condenses once every five hundred years?"

"It is said that the Extreme Flame Ethereal Water can transform the body of a cultivator, wash the tendons and marrow, and even turn a waste into a genius!"

"To think there's such a large pool of it!"

"Those corpses belong to the Abyss Gate, right? How did they end up here? Could it be for this pool of Extreme Flame Ethereal Water?"

The cultivators floating above the giant pit were discussing fervently, their gazes filled with greed as they looked at the Extreme Flame Ethereal Water.

But at the thought of the terrifying roar from earlier, they dared not act rashly, especially with the incredible speed displayed by Sang Liang and Li Cunxiao, which made them even more hesitant.

"The demon is about to descend... It's over..."

Sang Liang muttered in a lifeless tone as he dodged Li Cunxiao's attacks, further enraging the latter. It seemed as if no matter how hard he tried, the other party remained indifferent, and the frustration triggered a terrifying anger within him.

"Ah!"

Li Cunxiao roared in anger, and then his skin visibly turned into iron, his body becoming more robust. His Iron Stone Essence was revealed.

His speed suddenly increased, but he still couldn't catch Sang Liang.

Dodging while expressing his surprise, Sang Liang said, "Huh, you're actually a member of the demon race, but why does your aura feel a bit off?"

Li Cunxiao wouldn't bother to answer him, instead, he wildly swung the King Yu Spear. If it hit Sang Liang, the old man would definitely turn into minced meat.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun was focused on his cultivation, with Yuan Hong and others protecting him, he had no need to worry.

He could feel his body undergoing an inexplicable transformation at an astonishing speed, from internal organs to tendons and bones, and even his skin. The process was painful, but still bearable, as he had undergone body refinement before and his tolerance for pain far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators.

"Let's do it in one go!"

Qin Jun gritted his teeth and thought, then swiftly raised his hands from the Extreme Flame Ethereal Water, revealing a small white bottle containing the Great Yan Pill.

He quickly took out three Great Yan Pills, and as soon as they entered his mouth, they instantly dissolved and flowed into his body, causing a sensation of explosion within him.

Refreshing!

After getting used to the pain, it became a kind of pleasure.

The technique of the Indestructible Holy Body was operating faster and faster, causing the Extreme Flame Ethereal Water to form a vortex, with Qin Jun at its center.

Seeing this phenomenon, the cultivators' eyes turned bloodshot with greed. This was a sacred treasure!

Among them, Jin Wu Hui was closely watching this scene, gripping his long sword in his right hand, as if he was about to make a move.

In the presence of heavenly treasures, cultivators would not adhere to righteousness, especially in this unclaimed territory!

"It seems that these people are about to make a move soon."

Liu Bowen chuckled lightly. With Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi present, how could he be worried?

The Black and White Impermanence also licked their faces, their mocking expressions seemed eager to see the cultivators make their move and seek death.

A sense of killing intent began to pervade the air.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud rumble came from the Extreme Flame Ethereal Water, and Qin Jun's dragon aura uncontrollably surged, condensing into a four-clawed golden dragon coiled around his body.

At the same time, Qin Jun broke through!

The Ninth Layer of the Mortal Transformation Realm!

But his momentum did not stop there, it continued to surge, aiming for the Void Transformation Realm.

"Let's go together! Each person can make a fortune with just a little effort! This is a rare opportunity in five hundred years!"

A cultivator shouted loudly, and to everyone's surprise, it was the leader of the Black Flame Divine Sect who had previously besieged Jin Wu Hui, the one-eyed cultivator.

His words instantly ignited the greed that had been on the verge of exploding within the cultivators. Almost simultaneously, all the cultivators rushed towards Qin Jun, hundreds of them, with the lowest being at the Mortal Transformation Realm, all bursting with terrifying momentum, even dispersing the white clouds in the sky.

"Overestimating yourselves!"

Yuan Hong snorted coldly and, as he spoke, swept his shoulder with the iron rod, unleashing an invisible force that directly sent more than a hundred cultivators in front of him flying and spitting blood.

Lei Zhenzi also began to take action. With a wave of his hands, a series of dark thunderbolts descended, striking the cultivators. Those hit by the thunderbolts instantly turned into ashes, shocking the remaining cultivators, including Jin Wu Hui.

"Who is this guy after all?"

Jin Wu Hui gritted his teeth, realizing that the imposing aura emanating from Lei Zhenzi was no weaker than that of his master, which plunged his heart into the abyss.

Meanwhile, with the dual assistance of the Great Yan Pill and the Extreme Flame Ethereal Water, Qin Jun began to make a breakthrough towards the Void Transformation Realm.

Void Transformation Realm!

If the Mortal Transformation Realm was the realm beyond ordinary mortals, then the Void Transformation Realm was the threshold to becoming an immortal!

After reaching the Void Transformation Realm, a cultivator's lifespan would double, and under normal circumstances, they could live for over five hundred years, or even become a thousand-year-old monster.

At this moment, Qin Jun suddenly opened his eyes. They turned blood-red, without any whites or pupils, extremely eerie.

Liu Bowen and the others, who were busy resisting the disturbance from the other cultivators, did not notice, but Qin Jun felt a strange force infiltrating his body. Although it didn't cause any discomfort, he did sense another mysterious power.

Before he could ponder further, his negative emotions erupted.

The emotions of killing intent, anger, and hatred surged uncontrollably, causing him to panic.

"Ding! Mysterious energy is attempting to alter the host's body..."

"Ding! Warning! Mysterious energy is attempting to change the host's bloodline!"

The system prompts sounded one after another, making Qin Jun even more flustered. He subconsciously wanted to call for help, but found that he couldn't make a sound, and he couldn't even use the art of transmitting sound. It was as if his body was no longer his own, and he couldn't even control his spiritual power.

What's going on?

Qin Jun's mind was in turmoil, and most crucially, he had an inexplicable urge to kill everyone in front of him.

He suddenly remembered what Sang Liang had said earlier. Could it be that there really is a demon hiding in the lake as the legend goes?

Sang Liang, who was entangled with Li Cunxiao, saw his blood-red eyes and immediately shouted, "Not good!"

But Li Cunxiao was relentless, raising the King Yu spear and smashing it down. This infuriated Sang Liang, who suddenly struck out with a palm, and a golden light flashed, blinding Li Cunxiao and causing a golden giant palm to collide with him like a small mountain, sending him flying backwards, spitting blood, and falling into the nearby woods like a kite with a broken string, quickly flying a kilometer away.

This scene made Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong frown involuntarily.

They still didn't turn around, unaware of Qin Jun's abnormality.

Sang Liang erupted with a terrifying aura, causing the other cultivators who wanted to snatch the Extreme Flame Ghost Water to feel as if a heavy weight of thousands of pounds had been slammed onto their shoulders, leaving them unable to move on the ground.

"You all, get out of the way!"

Sang Liang stomped his right foot and rushed towards Qin Jun. At this moment, his face no longer bore the carefree and frivolous demeanor, but instead showed an urgent and dignified presence akin to a Vajra of the Buddhist tradition.

Yuan Hong had just intended to launch an attack on Sang Liang when his expression suddenly changed, as if he had been shocked, and Lei Zhenzi, Heibai Wuchang, and Liu Bowen also did the same.

At this moment, Qin Jun's skin turned purplish-red, his face became ferocious, and his eyes, as red as blood beads, emitted a terrifying killing intent. [End of this chapter]
