Ling Tian Practices Demonic Arts, Treasure Seeking Mouse Appears

Lin Qi'an strolled around with two beautiful women, while Ling Tian was fighting desperately. He had dived to the bottom of the magma and successfully opened the gate of the underground palace, but that was just the beginning! 

The underground palace was full of traps and powerful beasts blocking his way.

Fortunately, Ling Tian had the Nine Yang Divine Technique to help him. After overcoming countless obstacles and being covered in wounds, he finally reached the end of the palace. 

At the top of the dark palace, there was a jade table, and on the table lay a box.

"Finally, I found it..." Ling Tian hurriedly opened the box. 

There were two items inside: a black jade slip and a blood-colored lotus. Opening the jade slip, four black characters were prominently written on it: "Demonic Death Tome." 

Below was a message:

"If you have made it here, it proves our fates are intertwined. The technique recorded in this jade slip can devour the heavens and overturn the earth with infinite power!"

"To practice it, you must first abandon your true nature and fall into the demonic path. If you have the courage, inject spiritual power and relax your sea of consciousness. You will naturally gain everything.l

"Additionally, this lotus is called the 'Seven Petal Blood Heart Lotus,' an ancient treasure that can open a small world. To reactivate it, it needs to be stained with the blood of seven prodigies."

After reading the jade slip, Ling Tian took a deep breath. He never expected that after all his hardships, he would end up with a demonic technique. 

The eerie aura it emitted made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Ling Tian, this is a demonic path technique. You must not rush into practicing it!" 

After a moment of silence, a look of madness appeared in Ling Tian's eyes. "Why not? Why not!"

"Are you insane..." 

"To become stronger, to get revenge, so what if I go mad! As long as I master it, I won't worry about not being able to kill Lin Qi'an!"

"Then I'll use his and those two wretched women's blood to sanctify this Blood Heart Lotus!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tian injected his spiritual power.

A beam of dark light shot into his head, and terrifying ghostly black energy immediately enveloped his entire body. 

Ling Tian's aura began to rise at an alarming rate, but the golden light belonging to the Nine Yang Divine Technique in his brow dimmed completely.

Ling Yu could never align with demonic cultivation therefore at this moment, their master-disciple relationship had reached its end.

Ding! Ling Tian and Ling Yu have severed all ties, luck value -100, host's villain value +2000

.....

Nanyue King City.

The news of the Guards being completely annihilated finally reached the ears of the Nanyue prince, Zhao Sanfeng.

"Those bastards!" He slammed his hand down, smashing the wooden table beside him into splinters.

"A prince of Beiyang dares to act wildly in Nanyue. How dare he?!"

"Your Highness, that Lin Qi'an is truly overbearing and unreasonable! He immediately ordered his sword guards to kill us." 

"If we don't settle this, Nanyue will surely be ridiculed, and we might not be able to stand in the Tianlang Immortal Dynasty in the future!"

Zhao Sanfeng stood up, his face cold. "You don't need to tell me. I already know. Go, gather all the holy lands and sects that have been on good terms with Nanyue! I will personally seek out Lin Qi'an for punishment!" 

A subordinate said in a deep voice, "Your Highness...but Lin Qi'an has a powerful protector by his side..."

"Protector? As if he's the only one who has one!"

Zhao Sanfeng sneered, "I will invite my master out of seclusion. We'll see who can stand against us!"

....

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

"It's done!" Ling Tian suddenly opened his eyes, gleaming with light. His pupils were filled with dark energy, and his entire being exuded a chilling aura.

"I have finally mastered the Demonic Death Tome...and my realm has soared to Heaven Dominion Realm!"

Feeling the terrifying power coursing through his body, Ling Tian was ecstatic. Thinking about his imminent revenge, his entire being was jubilant.

"When I was in the Heaven Ascendant Realm, I could already slay Heaven Dominion cultivators. Now that I've reached Heaven Dominion and my power has increased greatly, Lin Qi'an, what will you use to fight me!"

"When I find you, I will definitely use your blood to sanctify the Blood Heart Lotus!"

He rushed out of the magma lake and had just exited the mountain when he ran into a cultivator who was about to leave the secret realm.

"Stop! Tell me, do you know where Beiyang's prince, Lin Qi'an, is?" Ling Tian grabbed the man's head, looking fierce and malicious.

"The...the prince? He should still be in the secret realm, but I don't know exactly where."

"Get lost!"

'Still in the secret realm? Good. It seems even the heavens want you dead. I will guard the entrance to the secret realm and wait for you to come out.'

...

In the secret realm, most of the heaven-tier materials and earth-tier treasures had been looted. Most cultivators had left satisfied, and few remained in the secret realm. 

Lin Qi'an was one of them. For the past two days, he had been leisurely walking around with Su Xueni and Zi Lianyou. The treasures those people obtained didn't catch his eye, and he wasn't interested in snatching them.

"Your Highness, we've been here for two days and haven't gotten anything good!"

"If there's nothing, then so be it. It's just our bad luck. Let's go, it's time to leave."

'My dear treasure-seeking mouse, you finally came out. Let your master wait so long!'
