Two Powerful Demon Immortals

Two Powerful Demon Immortals . . .

With decisive steps, Qin Wentian departed, leaving the inhabitants of the Qi King Manor in a state of shock and dismay. Yang An, despite having attained the immortal foundation realm, had been unable to withstand even a single blow from him. It was a bewildering spectacle that defied all reason.

Questions swirled through their minds. Both combatants were at the immortal foundation realm—how could such a staggering disparity exist? How had Qin Wentian become so astonishingly powerful?

"Yang An!" Several experts rushed to Yang An's side, their expressions grim. One elderly figure wore a particularly severe look as he remarked, "His bones are shattered, and there are even cracks in his immortal foundation. That was a ruthlessly executed attack. Does Qin Wentian intend to cripple Yang An?"

The old man's tone grew frosty as he fixated on Qin Wentian's departing figure. "What a merciless assault. Does he wish to annihilate Yang An entirely?"

The Scarlet Eye Marquis responded with a snort of disdain. "Yang An sought this humiliation upon himself, yet you dare to shift the blame? You of the Qi King Manor are truly absurd. You provoked Qin Wentian, pitting him against Yang An as if he were a whetstone to sharpen your sword. Do you take him for a fool? Qin Wentian showed remarkable restraint, for he could have completely shattered Yang An's immortal foundation. Don't presume that he lacks the capability."

The members of the Qi King Manor found themselves unable to respond. They hadn't anticipated such a vast gulf in strength between Yang An and Qin Wentian. During their battle, Qin Wentian had effortlessly parried Yang An's savage sabre strike with his bare hands. His arm appeared to be protected by layers of impervious armor, rendering him immune to Yang An's attack. He had then retaliated with an unrelenting blow, showcasing a profound difference in their abilities.

It was evident that the two were operating on entirely different planes of power.

"The Qi King Manor's actions grow increasingly disgraceful," Princess Changping interjected coldly. "You initiated this confrontation, yet before it even concluded, you sought to gang up on Qin Wentian? Your behavior is utterly shameless. Begone, and beware that I shall not tolerate further impertinence."

Defeated and humiliated, the representatives of the Qi King Manor had no choice but to suppress their anger and withdraw, bearing the wounded Yang An with them as they exited Princess Changping's estate.

Once they had departed, Ling'er exclaimed in astonishment, "Big brother Qin's strength is truly astounding. Did he truly just establish his immortal foundation?"

"Immortal foundations can be categorized into three grades and six tiers," Princess Changping explained gently. "Even if Qin Wentian has only recently attained the immortal foundation realm, and even if he possesses only a first-tier mortal-grade immortal foundation, it would still be impossible for it to match the second-grade king/emperor-grade immortal foundation. Yet, Qin Wentian's immortal foundation is nothing less than the legendary saint-grade. Such foundations are exceedingly rare, with perhaps only one in tens of thousands of years succeeding in establishing one."

Ling'er's beautiful eyes sparkled. "So, big brother Qin really established a saint-grade immortal foundation?"

"That phenomenon in the sky—no one but him could have caused it," Princess Changping affirmed. "I surmise that he must have indeed formed a saint-grade immortal foundation. When he confronted Yang An, the mere presence of his immortal foundation exuded a suppressive force that overwhelmed Yang An completely. He is, in essence, invincible at the same realm."

The princess's eyes gleamed with admiration. It was a rare occurrence for someone to achieve saint-grade status immediately upon ascending to the immortal realm. Under the aegis of his immortal foundation, Qin Wentian's immortal might radiated with domineering power. His flesh and bones had undergone a purifying baptism, achieving a state of unparalleled perfection. In every respect, he surpassed others of the same cultivation level.

In the midst of this gathering, a prolonged, melodious screech pierced the air. Every eye turned toward the cultivation platform, where a resplendent crimson radiance painted the sky. Auspicious clouds swirled, and an enormous, ethereal silhouette of a vermillion bird intermittently materialized, stretching across the heavens.

"Look, a vermillion bird is establishing its immortal foundation. It appears that the two demonic beast companions of that young man are truly exceptional," Princess Changping remarked with intrigue. Qin Wentian had been at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm not long ago, yet he already possessed two powerful demonic beasts that grew alongside him. Even in their royal palace, pure-blooded vermillion birds were a rare find. Besides Purgatory, the other shape-shifting pup that transformed into a formidable greater demon was clearly an extraordinary companion.

Qin Wentian made his way to the cultivation platform. Purgatory's form expanded, its majesty blotting out the sky. An ominous demonic aura surged forth, and the luster of its feathers intensified, each brimming with a formidable fire essence. Its presence was truly fearsome.

Purgatory let out an enthusiastic screech before returning to its original size. It moved with agility, circling around Qin Wentian's head before gracefully descending to perch on his shoulder. Qin Wentian sensed the excitement emanating from Purgatory.

Reaching out, he gently stroked Purgatory's head, his emotions improving inexplicably. For the past few days, he had been diligently attempting to suppress the memories of his father, but an inescapable tension continued to grip his heart.

"ROAR!" A golden radiance now filled the sky as Little Rascal transformed into an incredibly massive form, its roar resonating far and wide. A faint silhouette of a formidable greater demon materialized in the heavens, radiating unparalleled terror. Golden runes danced around it, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Qin Wentian's smile grew even brighter. It seemed that these two small companions were engaged in a silent competition, as both ascended to a higher stage almost simultaneously.

Little Rascal continued to emit earthshaking roars. After some time, it ceased and reverted to its normal size. The tremendous aura it had exuded earlier diminished as it transformed back into its seemingly innocuous form, white and fluffy. It leaped toward Qin Wentian, transforming into a streak of white lightning that raced into his arms. It gazed up at Purgatory, perched on Qin Wentian's shoulder, and with an air of haughtiness, it declared, "I barely managed to catch up. Otherwise, this little one would have been utterly mortified."

Little Rascal's voice remained youthful, reminiscent of a three-year-old child. He appeared to be perpetually frozen in youth, emitting an irresistibly adorable aura. However, when he transformed, all that remained was an overwhelming fierceness and malevolence.

Purgatory couldn't help but flash a sly grin as she observed Little Rascal.

"I can't be bothered to compete with you," a melodious voice chimed in, leaving Qin Wentian utterly surprised. Little Rascal's eyes widened as he blinked rapidly.

The voice possessed a soothing quality, brimming with feminine allure. Clearly, it was the voice of a young girl.

"You're a female?" Little Rascal blinked in astonishment. Purgatory's form flickered as she gracefully ascended into the air. A radiant glow enveloped her, and in the next instant, a stunning young lady materialized before Qin Wentian. She wore purgatory armor that accentuated her vitality and energy. Her physique exuded fiery allure, mixed with hints of icy resolve, making it almost impossible for anyone to meet her gaze directly.

"Little Rascal, are you trying to court death?" Purgatory's voice carried a frosty undertone. Qin Wentian was equally taken aback. He hadn't anticipated that Purgatory's human form would manifest as such a captivating young woman.

Little Rascal rubbed his eyes as though thoroughly astonished. Then, he turned to Qin Wentian and spoke in his babyish tone, "Female vermillion birds are even more ferocious than female tigers!"

"Cough, cough." Qin Wentian lightly cuffed Little Rascal on the head and scolded him in a hushed tone. "You've become a demon immortal, but you're still as mischievous as ever."

"Yes, this little one has also become a demon immortal. Purgatory, why don't we get together? Who knows, our union might give birth to a powerful variant-type demonic beast."

"Get lost!" Purgatory was so furious that her body trembled. Her beautiful eyes were filled with complaint as she glared at Qin Wentian. "Master, you need to discipline him."

"Purgatory, you can just call me Big Brother Qin," Qin Wentian interjected, perspiring slightly at the thought of Purgatory addressing him as her master.

Purgatory's determination to address Qin Wentian as her master persisted, and she refused to yield. Qin Wentian, in a playful yet commanding tone, decided to switch things up. "In that case, as your master, I command you to refer to me as Big Brother Qin."

Pouting like a stubborn child, Purgatory resisted, her expression mirroring that of a young girl throwing a tantrum. Seeing her obstinance, Qin Wentian couldn't help but roll his eyes, giving in to her wishes. "Fine, fine, as you wish."

With a contented smile, Purgatory replied, "Thank you, master." Qin Wentian looked at his two loyal demonic beast companions, and a warmth filled his heart as the recent troubles faded into the background. Their growth and unwavering companionship brought him genuine happiness.

"It's time for us to leave," Qin Wentian declared.

"Little Purgatory, take me with you!" Little Rascal's nimble form darted into Purgatory's embrace, nuzzling himself comfortably within it. Purgatory, wearing a look of disdain, couldn't help but remark, "You shameless thing."

"This baobao is going to take a nap," Little Rascal proclaimed, settling himself in Purgatory's arms. Her disdain only deepened.

Observing this exchange, Princess Changping and the Scarlet Eye Marquis couldn't help but smile. They saw Qin Wentian's return and the addition of Purgatory and Little Rascal to his entourage.

"Princess, Marquis, I want to express my gratitude for all the help you've provided over the years. Now that these two have also established their immortal foundations, it's time for me to depart," Qin Wentian said.

Princess Changping inquired with a smile, "Are you really not going to wait for Qing'er?"

Qin Wentian replied, "Once Qing'er completes her foundation, please convey a message from me to her. Tell her that I will definitely return for her. Regardless of where I may be, my heart remains unwavering."

"Very well. Let the Marquis escort you then," Princess Changping said, turning to the Scarlet Eye Marquis. The Marquis then asked, "To which region would you like to go? I can direct you to the appropriate spatial transference array."

Qin Wentian inquired, "Thirteen Prefectures of Eastern Sage. Where is the array located?"

The Scarlet Eye Marquis explained, "The royal palace's spatial transference array can connect to various destinations. We only need to adjust the input for the coordinates, and the array will handle the rest. So, which prefecture do you intend to visit?"

As they made their way to the royal palace's spatial transference array, Qin Wentian responded, "Cloud Prefecture."

The Scarlet Eye Marquis nodded in response. "No problem. The array will transport you to the Cloud Prefecture. However, which city within it you'll end up in depends on luck, and we have no control over that."

Qin Wentian reassured them, "Don't worry, I have plenty of immortal weapons with me. Once we reach the Cloud Prefecture, I'll head to the place I want." Their conversation continued as they approached the array's location, surrounded by vigilant guards. Only the kings and marquises of the royal palace had the authority to use it.

The Scarlet Eye Marquis explained, "This is the array that will take you to the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures. I will set the direction for you." He walked toward one of the arrays, all of which were incredibly intricate. The individual who had set them up must have been a master of divine inscriptions highly skilled in spatial laws.

"Please proceed," the Marquis said. Qin Wentian and his companions approached the array, and within moments, it activated, generating powerful fluctuations that shook the surroundings. A beam of light enveloped them, and Qin Wentian turned to the Scarlet Eye Marquis with gratitude. "Marquis, farewell. Until we meet again in the future."

"Farewell," the Scarlet Eye Marquis replied with a warm smile. As his voice faded, the beam shot up into the sky, and the three of them within the array disappeared completely.

In the Cloud Prefecture of the Thirteen Prefectures of Eastern Sage, within the vast desolation of Jiangling Country, a young couple desperately fled for their lives. The young man's body was covered in bloodstains, and his face was as pale as paper.

"Xueru, you go ahead and leave. I can hold them off. Otherwise, both of us will meet our end here today," the young man said to the woman beside him, his heart heavy with anguish. It seemed likely that they would both find it difficult to escape this calamity.

"No, if you want to die, let's die together!" The woman shook her head.

"Xueru listen to me. That bastard don't want you to die…" The young man's eyes were red. The young woman beside him had her part of her robes torn away as her jade-white skin showed. Upon hearing his words, the young woman also paled. "If that bastard want to do that to me…I would choose to commit suicide."

"JUST LEAVE!" That young man roared as tears streaked down the face of the young woman.

And at this moment, in the air, a blinding ray of light shot over. There seemed to be a door which opened in mid air as another pair of young man and woman appeared. The young man was handsome while the young woman exuded a hint of demonic charm and elegance. Both of them were clearly extraordinary individuals.

These two were none other than Qin Wentian and Purgatory. The spatial fluctuations ceased, they glanced at their surroundings, not knowing where they were sent to!
